PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1 — Financial Statements

     The unaudited financial statements of Southeast Acquisitions III, L.P. (the “Partnership”) at September 30, 2003 are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

     Background

     The Partnership was formed to acquire, own and realize appreciation in the following properties by holding them for investment and eventual sale (each a Property, collectively the Properties) 208 acres of undeveloped land in Fulton County, Georgia; 265 acres of undeveloped land in Henry County, Georgia; 24 acres of undeveloped land near Nashville, Tennessee; 48 acres of undeveloped land near Fort Myers, Florida; and 51 acres of undeveloped land near Columbia, South Carolina. There can be no assurance that the Partnership’s objectives will be realized. At September 30, 2003, there remained approximately 105 acres of the Fulton County, Georgia property.

     Results of Operations for Third Quarter of 2003 Compared with Third Quarter of 2002

     The Partnership activities for the third quarter of 2003 and the third quarter of 2002 were focused on the sale of Partnership property. During the third quarter of 2003, as in 2002 there were no sales. The Partnership has a receivable from an escrow agent of a non-refundable extension fee of $30,000 related to a sales contract on all of the remaining property in Fulton County, Georgia. During the third quarter of 2003, the Partnership received interest income of $232 as compared to $711 of interest earned in the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest earned is a result of having a lower average interest bearing cash reserve during the quarter compared to the same quarter of 2002.

     Expenses in the third quarter of 2003 included general and administrative expenses of $5,986 versus $5,780 in the third quarter of 2002. Real estate taxes for the third quarter of 2003 were $886 compared to $1,242 for the same quarter in 2002. The 2003 real estate taxes, which were paid in October, were much lower than originally anticipated, so the third quarter reflects an adjustment to correct for the over-accrual of taxes in the first two quarters of the year. The Partnership paid $54 in insurance in the third quarter of 2003. In the third quarter of 2002 the Partnership received a $146 refund for insurance coverage on the Columbia, South Carolina Property which had been sold on January 31, 2002. This refund along with the cost of insurance on the remaining property resulted in $(18) for that quarter. Other expenses in the third quarter of 2002 included $4,096 for the recognition of bad debt. In 2000, the Partnership recorded a $4,596 account receivable from Ice Land, USA (the “buyer”). This receivable was for the proration of the Columbia, South Carolina property taxes resulting from the February 2000 sale of 7.29 acres in Columbia, South Carolina. The buyer did pay the Partnership $500 in February 2002, but has subsequently filed for bankruptcy and collection of the remaining balance is very doubtful. The

     Partnership incurred no such expense in the third quarter of 2003.

     Inflation did not have any material impact on operations during the third quarter of 2003, and it is not expected to materially impact future operations.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership has cash reserves of $31,666 at September 30, 2003, which will be used to cover the following estimated annual costs: accounting fees of $17,880, legal fees of $8,000, insurance costs of $216, property taxes of $3,844, and other general and administrative expenses of $12,000. Any shortfall is anticipated to be covered by proceeds from the sale of land. However, if the Property cannot be sold within the next year, then the reserves may be inadequate to cover the Partnership’s operating expenses. If the reserves are exhausted, the Partnership may have to dispose of some or all of the Properties or incur indebtedness on unfavorable terms.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

     (a)  Within the ninety day period prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to timely alert them to any material information relating to the company that must be included in our periodic SEC filings.

          (b) There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out this evaluation.

     PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

     None

Item 2 — Changes in Securities

     There were no changes in the Partnership’s securities during the third quarter of 2003.

Item 3 — Defaults Upon Senior Securities

     There was no default in the payment of principal, interest, a sinking or purchase fund installment or any other default with respect to any indebtedness of the Partnership. The Partnership has issued no preferred stock; accordingly, there have been no arrearages or delinquencies with respect to any such preferred stock.
