PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
- -----------------
The Registrant, Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-III (the
"Partnership"), is a Delaware Limited Partnership organized in 1983, pursuant to
an Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement"), under the Revised Delaware Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The
Partnership's general partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the "Corporate
General Partner"), a Delaware corporation, and Joseph M.
Jayson (the "Individual General Partner").
The Registrant commenced the public offering of its Limited Partnership
Units, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended on February 1, 1984, and concluded the
offering on January 31, 1985, having raised a total of $15,551,000 before
deducting sales commissions and expenses of the offering.
The Partnership's primary business and its only industry segment is to
own and operate income-producing real property for the benefit of its partners.
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership owned one (1) apartment complex with
280 units and two office buildings with 124,960 total square feet of rentable
space. Each of the complexes is managed for the Partnership by Realmark
Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partners.
The Partnership's acquisition and disposition of rental property, as
well as its future plans concerning dispositions, is described in Note 3 to the
financial statements.
Occupancy for each complex as of December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was as
follows:
1998 1997 1996
Ambassador Towers (formerly Cedar Ridge) 81% 80% 90%
Perrymont 75% 68% 63%
Inducon Amherst 82% 91% -

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- -----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Although the Partnership had negative cash flow from operations during
the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership has been able, due to the
sales of the three properties in the last two years, to maintain sufficient cash
to enable it to not only fund operating activities, but also to provide for
significant capital improvements at the remaining properties.
In the beginning of April 1998, management satisfied the mortgage on the
Perrymont Building. This mortgage was in default and the lender was threatening
to begin foreclosure procedures. As a result of the payoff of the outstanding
mortgage, the lender gave the Partnership a sizable discount on the mortgage
resulting in an extraordinary gain totaling $318,213 being recognized in 1998
due to this extinguishment of debt.
In January of 1998, a contract for the sale of the Perrymont Office
Building was signed. The contract had a sales price of $1,750,000. The contract
was soon after canceled by the potential buyer and management did not continue
to look for a purchaser for the property. The General Partners feel, however,
that the sale of this property, as well as that of Ambassador Towers, is in the
best interest of the Limited Partners; management plans to again look for
potential buyers through marketing in trade journals, newspapers, etc.
Increasing occupancy, as well as decreasing delinquencies, remains the
major focus of management. Management's plans include considerable renovation
work at Perrymont Office Building including re-facing of the exterior of the
building to give it a more updated appearance, replacement of hallway carpeting,
fresh paint throughout the building, redecorating of all common area restrooms,
and new signage. The work is expected to cost approximately $270,000 and is
anticipated to be complete by mid-July 1999. By improving the physical
appearance of the building, both inside and out, management is hopeful that new
tenants will be attracted to the building.
Low occupancies, required capital improvements due to aging portfolio of
the Partnership and the repayment of a mortgage loan have reduced the
Partnership's cash reserves, however management feels there is still adequate
liquidity and reserves to otherwise pay its expenses. The Partnership made no
distributions during 1998, 1997 or 1996. It is uncertain as to when the
Partnership will be in a position to resume making distributions, although
management is hopeful that a distribution will be made in the coming year once
the capital improvement work scheduled at the properties is either completed or
the full costs may be measured.
Ambassador Towers, since the end of 1998, has seen a significant
improvement in its occupancy (i.e., as of April 1999, occupancy reached
approximately 90%). The success seen by this complex is primarily the result of
new on-site staff who came to this complex from one of the competitors; these
employees came with considerable experience and innovative ideas. The complex
began offering new services to its residents such as a concierge office which
provides dry cleaning services and travel services, and a van service taking
residents to the bank, the post office, the grocery store, etc. Additionally,
the complex offers free cable to all of its residents (rents were increased on a
per unit basis to cover these costs to the complex). Management also feels that
the property has become more attractive to potential renters since the
construction of a plaza containing a large grocery store chain was completed
during 1998 immediately next to the property. All hallways in the building have
been re-carpeted and freshly painted and wallpapered. Carpets and appliances
within units of this complex are being replaced on an as-needed basis; moreover,
new cabinets, countertops and mirrors are being added to units when such
improvements are deemed necessary to rent vacant units or retain current
tenants. Management is optimistic that this complex will continue to see
increased occupancy in the coming year.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- -----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Con't.)
- ------------------------------- --------
The three complexes held by this Partnership are all deemed to be in
"good" locations and competitive rental markets. With this in mind, management
continues to monitor its expenses closely while also closely monitoring the
rents charged and services offered by its local competition.
The Partnership has conducted a review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "year 2000 issue" and has
substantially developed an implementation plan to resolve such issues. The year
2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer programs that
have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities. Management has discussed with outside
independent computer consultants its readiness for the Year 2000. The majority
of the software in use is either "2000 compliant" or will be with little
adaptation and at no significant cost per information provided by their software
providers. Management has also engaged a computer firm to re-write its tax
software making it Year 2000 compliant. This work is scheduled to begin May 1,
1999 and is expected to take three months. Management has a complete inventory
of its computers and feels that the cost of replacing those which will not be
"2000 compliant" will be relatively minor (i.e., most likely under $20,000).
Non-informational systems have also been evaluated and management feels that
there will be little, if any, cost to preparing these for the Year 2000 (i.e.,
most likely under $20,000). Management expects to be fully Year 2000 compliant
with all testing done by September 30, 1999. The Partnership is working on a
contingency plan in the unlikely event that its systems do not operate as
planned. It is management's belief that in the unlikely event that its
informational systems do not operate as planned in the year 2000, all records
could be maintained manually until the problems with its systems are resolved.
Management feels that its external vendors, suppliers and customers, for the
most part, will be unaffected by the Year 2000 as most do not rely on
information systems in their businesses.
Results of Operations:
- ----------------------
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership incurred a net
loss of $90,112 or $5.62 per limited partnership unit. This loss was after
considering the impact of extraordinary income from the extinguishment of debt
totaling $318,213 or $19.85 per limited partnership unit. For the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership had net income of $1,800,830 or
$105.38 per limited partnership unit and $2,430,990 or $141.68 per limited
partnership unit, respectively. The net income in these years was the result of
the gain on the sale of Castle Dore Apartments during 1997, and the gains on the
sales of Williamsburg South and Pleasant Run Apartments in 1996. The Partnership
had a net loss before the gains recognized upon these sales of $1,294,546 and
$1,070,333 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Partnership revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled
$2,432,298, consisting of rental income of $2,050,131 and other income, which
includes interest, laundry income, and other miscellaneous sources of income of
$382,167. The decrease in rental revenue from that of the two previous years is
attributed to several factors: 1) in both 1996 and 1997, the Partnership owned
more residential apartment complexes which were reporting income (i.e., in 1997
there was one more complex which reported rental income of approximately
$976,000 and in 1996 there were three more complexes reporting income of
approximately $2,532,000); 2) the low occupancy levels throughout much of the
year at Ambassador Towers; and 3) the recurrent struggle with low occupancy at
Perrymont. Rental revenues in the year ended December 31, 1997 amounted to
$2,828,947 and in the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $4,004,140.
7
ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- -----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Con't.)
------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations (Con't.):
- -------------------------------
There was a significant amount of other income during the year ended
December 31, 1996, in part due to real estate tax refunds received for tax
appeals at Ambassador Towers. An increase in rental income at Perrymont of
approximately $61,000 or 20% was noted when comparing 1998 and 1997; this is
reflective of the increased, although still low, occupancy at December 31, 1998.
There was also an increase of approximately $96,000 in interest and other income
between the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. This increase is the result
of interest income of approximately $89,000 earned on the investment of the
proceeds from the previous year's sale of Castle Dore Apartments.
Partnership expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled
$2,840,623, a significant decrease from the expenses for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 which were $4,196,309 and $5,357,211, respectively.
Again, the Partnership has one less property contributing to the total expenses
for 1998 as compared to 1997 and three less properties contributing to the total
expenses when compared to 1996. For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
expenses related to the properties which were sold totaled approximately
$1,600,000 and $3,049,000, respectively.
The most prominent decrease can be seen in interest-other expense. There
was a decrease of approximately $876,000 or 66% between the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 and approximately $715,000 or 61% between the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1996. This decrease is not only attributable to there
being less properties owned by the Partnership during 1998 as compared to both
1997 and 1996, but also to there no longer being a mortgage on the Perrymont
Office Building; in the beginning of April 1998, management satisfied this
mortgage with the lender giving the Partnership a sizable discount on the
mortgage resulting in an extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt totaling
$318,213. There was also a large decrease in property operations expenses
totaling approximately $268,000 between 1998 and 1997 and $989,000 between 1998
and 1996. In this case, the decrease is due to there being less properties
reporting expenses in the Partnership. The three properties remaining in the
Partnership at December 31, 1998 generally incurred higher operating expenses
during 1998 with the exception of decreased real estate taxes totaling
approximately $26,000 and decreased utility costs totaling approximately $25,000
incurred by Ambassador Towers. The increased expenses are attributable to
significant non-capitalizable capital improvement work being done at the
properties. Much of the work has been done by on-site personnel which resulted
in higher payroll and associated costs at Ambassador Towers totaling almost
$64,000. Expenses related to new carpeting, paint and appliances increased from
approximately $73,000 in 1997 to over $201,000 in 1998 at Ambassador Towers.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased drastically from 1997 to 1998
and likewise from 1996 to 1998. These decreases are attributable to the
decreased number of properties in the Partnership in 1998 due to sales which
took place in both 1997 and 1996. Administrative expenses, other than those due
to affiliates, totaled $275,151 for 1998; this is an increase of over $45,500 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997 when they totaled $229,622. The
increase is partially due to increased advertising and promotional expenses
incurred by Ambassador Towers totaling approximately $23,000. The decrease in
administrative expenses due to affiliates totaling over $76,000 between 1998 and
1997 and over $184,000 between 1998 and 1996 is primarily due to the sale of
properties during both 1997 and 1996; the Partnership incurred less management
fees due to there being less properties owned by the Partnership.

or $133.19 per unit for the year ended December 31, 1997 and income of
$2,940,564 or $183.42 per limited partnership unit for the year ended December
31, 1996. The gain for tax purposes resulting from the sale of Castle Dore
Apartments in 1997 totaled $4,003,583. The gain reported in 1996 from the sale
of Williamsburg South and Pleasant Run for tax purposes amounted to $4,467,961.

ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (Con't.)
- ------------------------------- --------
The Corporate General Partner is entitled to a continuing Partnership
Management Fee equal to 7% of net cash flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), of which 2% is subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners
of a noncumulative annual cash return equal to 7% of the average of their
adjusted capital contributions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The
Corporate General Partner is paid its 5% Partnership Management Fee annually as
cash flow allows. The 2% subordinated fee will not be paid or accrued until such
time as the Limited Partners have received their 7% return and payment of the
fee becomes probable. The General Partners are also entitled to 3% of
Distributable Cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and to certain
expense reimbursements with respect to Partnership operations.
The General Partners are allowed to collect property disposition fees
upon the sale of acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed the lesser of
50% of amounts customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by others
rendering similar services for comparable properties or 2.75% of the sale price.
The property disposition fee is subordinate to payments to the limited partners
of a cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% of their average
adjusted capital balances and to repayment to the limited partners of a
cumulative amount equal to their capital contributions. The fees earned on the
sale of Bryn Mawr Apartments in 1986 and Parc Bordeau Apartments in 1988 and the
two properties in the current year will not be recorded as a liability in the
Partnership's financial statements until such time as payment is probable.
ITEM 12: SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
No person is known to the Partnership to own of record or beneficially
more than five percent (5%) of the Units of Limited Partnership Interest of the
Partnership. Excluding the General Partners' interest in the Partnership ($1,000
initial capital contribution), the General Partners as of December 31, 1998
owned no Units of Limited Partnership Interest.
Affiliates of the General Partners own of record or beneficially 284
units of Limited Partnership Interest constituting 1.82% of the Partnership
Interest.
Based upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished
to the registrant, all reports were filed, however two reports were filed
subsequent to their required due date. These two reports contained a total of
four transactions totaling 26.6 limited partnership units.
ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Partners
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - III:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Realmark Property Investors
Limited Partnership-III as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of
the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Realmark Property Investors Limited
Partnership-III at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
----------------------------------------------------
1. FORMATION AND OPERATION OF PARTNERSHIP:
--------------------------------------
Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership-III (the "Partnership"),
a Delaware Limited Partnership, was formed on November 18, 1983, to invest in a
diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate investments.
In February 1984, the Partnership commenced the public offering of units
of limited partnership interest. Other than matters relating to organization, it
had no business activities and, accordingly, had not incurred any expenses or
earned any income until the first interim closing of the public offering of
limited partnership units, which occurred on April 26, 1984. All items of income
and expense arose subsequent to this date. The maximum offering of the
Partnership was $20,000,000 (20,000 units). The offer terminated January 31,
1985 with gross offering proceeds of $15,551,000 (15,551 units). The General
Partners are Realmark Properties, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson
& Company, Inc. (JMJ) and Joseph M. Jayson, the Individual General Partner.
Joseph M. Jayson is the sole shareholder of JMJ.
Under the partnership agreement, the general partners and their
affiliates can receive compensation for services rendered and reimbursement for
expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership (see Note 7).
The partnership agreement also provides that distribution of funds,
revenues, costs and expenses arising from partnership activities, exclusive of
any sale or refinancing activities, are to be allocated 97% to the Limited
Partners and 3% to the General Partners. Net income or losses and proceeds
arising from a sale or refinancing shall be distributed first to the Limited
Partners in amounts equivalent to a 7% return on their average adjusted capital
balances, plus an amount equal to their capital contributions. The Agreement
also provides for payment of property disposition fees to Realmark Properties,
Inc., prior to additional distributions to limited partners in amounts
equivalent to 5% of their average adjusted capital balances. Additional proceeds
shall then be allocated to all partners in amounts equal to their respective
positive capital account balances and the remainder, if any, in the ratio of 87%
to the Limited Partners and 13% to the General Partners. Income and losses from
the sale(s) of properties is to be allocated first to the Limited Partners to
the extent they receive their average adjusted capital balances plus a
preferential return of 7% and an additional 5%; after this, the income is to be
allocated 87% to the Limited Partners and 13% to the General Partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
------------------------------------------
(a) Use of Estimates
-----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Con't.):
---------------------------------------------------
(b) Property and Depreciation
-------------------------
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful lives of
the Partnership's assets range from 5 to 25 years. Depreciation expense totaled
$227,696, $232,606 and $449,241 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. For further discussion, see Note 3.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
The Accelerated Cost Recovery System and Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery
System are used to calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes.
(c) Rental Income
-------------
Leases for residential properties have terms of one year or less.
Commercial leases generally have terms of one to five years. Rental income is
recognized on the straight line method over the term of the lease.
(d) Cash
----
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes the following items:
cash on hand; cash in checking; and money market savings.
(e) Investments in Mutual Funds
---------------------------
The investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value, which
approximates cost, at December 31, 1998.
(f) Comprehensive Income
--------------------
The Partnership has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full
set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as
"the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources". Other than net
income (loss), the Partnership has no other sources of comprehensive income.

(g) Segment Information
-------------------
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements. The
Partnership's only operating segment is the ownership and operation of
income-producing real property for the benefit of its partners.
3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITIONS OF RENTAL PROPERTY:
-----------------------------------------------
In August 1984, the Partnership acquired a 112 unit apartment complex

the Partnership supplied capital to acquire the land and undertake initial
development to the extent of $545,000 in Phase I and an additional $275,000 on
Phase II.
In June 1985, the Partnership acquired a 200 unit apartment complex
(Williamsburg South Apartments) located in Atlanta, Georgia, for a purchase
price of $4,764,200, which included $368,745 in acquisition fees. In connection
with this acquisition, the Partnership obtained from the seller a Purchase Money
Mortgage in the amount of $3,300,000.
In August 1985, the Partnership acquired an office complex containing
approximately 40,000 net rentable square feet (Perrymont Office Building)
located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of $2,078,788, which
included $168,697 in acquisition fees.
In November 1985, the Partnership acquired a 130 unit apartment complex

the installment method.

3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITIONS OF RENTAL PROPERTY (Con't):
-------------------------------------------------------
In December 1988, the Partnership sold the Parc Bordeaux Apartments for
a sale price of $5,300,000 which generated a total net gain for financial
statement purposes of $2,338,067. For income tax purposes, the gain was
recognized under the installment method.
In December 1996, the Partnership sold the Williamsburg South Apartments
and Pleasant Run Farms Apartments for a sales price of $4,831,000 and
$3,350,000, respectively, less related fees of $93,000. The sales generated a
total net gain of $3,501,323 for financial statement purposes.
In November 1997, the Partnership acquired the remaining 50% interest in
Inducon Joint Venture Amherst through a buyout of the other joint venturer. The
Partnership owns 100% of the property.
In December 1997, the Partnership sold the Castle Dore Apartments for a
sales price of $5,160,000, less related fees of approximately $174,000. The
sales generated a total net gain of $3,095,376 for financial statement purposes.
During 1998, management continued its plans to sell the assets of the
Ambassador Towers, as this was determined to be in the best interests of the
investors. The carrying value of the assets were $3,516,633 at December 31,
1998, and the property generated a net loss of $134,630 during the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of (the
"Statement") requires that assets to be disposed of, be recorded at the lower of
carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. The Statement also requires
that such assets not be depreciated during the disposal period, as the assets
will be recovered through sale rather than through operations. In accordance
with this Statement, the long-lived assets of the Ambassador Towers are recorded
at the carrying amount which is the lower of carrying value or fair value less
costs to sell, and have not been depreciated during the disposal period. Fair
value is determined based on estimated future cash flows. Depreciation expense
not recorded for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 totaled
approximately $222,000, $173,000 and $133,000, respectively.

-----------------
The Partnership has the following mortgages payable:
Perrymont
---------
The outstanding mortgage of $1,259,701 at December 31, 1997 was
satisfied in April 1998. The satisfaction of the mortgage resulted in an

limited partnership unit.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
- -- ------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value of certain financial instruments. The fair value of accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deposit liabilities approximate
the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Management has estimated that the fair values of the mortgages payable
on Ambassador Towers and Inducon Amherst approximate $3,200,000 and $2,000,000,
respectively, based on current interest rates for mortgages of similar terms.
The carrying values of the mortgages were approximately $3,130,000 and
$1,841,000, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
The terms of these mortgages are described in Note 4.
6. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE:
- -- ----------------------------
In April 1985, the Partnership entered into an agreement and formed
Inducon Joint Venture Amherst (the Venture), for the primary purpose of
constructing office/warehouse buildings in Erie County, New York, as
income-producing property. The site is part of the Amherst Foreign Trade Zone.
This is U.S. Customs Territory under Federal Supervision where foreign and
domestic merchandise is brought for storage, manufacture, salvage, repair,
exhibit, repacking, relabeling, and re-export. Under the terms of the Joint
Venture Agreement, the Partnership supplied capital to acquire the land and
undertake initial development, to the extent of $545,000 in Phase I and an
additional $275,000 on Phase II.
The Other Joint Venturer delivered or completed on behalf of the Joint
Venture all plans, specifications, maps, surveys, accounting proformas for
construction, initial leasing and operations, and cost estimates with respect to
development.
Ownership of the Joint Venture was divided equally between the
Partnership and the Other Joint Venturer. The joint venture agreement provided
that the Partnership was to be allocated 95% of any income received or loss
incurred.
In November 1997, the Partnership acquired the interest of Delhurst
Corporation, the other joint venture partner, for $55,000. The Partnership now
owns 100% of the Inducon Amherst property. The results of the property's
operations for the period January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997 and for the
year ended December 31, 1996 were allocated in accordance with the Joint Venture
agreement.

7. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
-------------------------------------------------------
According to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners are allowed to collect property disposition fees upon the sale of
acquired properties. This fee is not to exceed the lesser of 50% of amounts
customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar
services for comparable properties of 2.75% of the sales price. The property
disposition fee is subordinate to payments to the Limited Partners of a
cumulative annual return (not compounded) equal to 7% of their average adjusted
capital balances and to repayment to the Limited Partners of an amount equal to
their capital contributions.
The General Partners have not to date received a disposition fee on the
sale of the Bryn Mawr Apartments or Parc Bordeaux, as the Limited Partners of
the Partnership have not received a return of 7% on their average adjusted
capital or their original capital as defined in the partnership agreement. The
fee earned in the sale of the Bryn Mawr Apartments, Parc Bordeaux Apartments,
Williamsburg South Apartments, Pleasant Run Apartments and Castle Dore
Apartments will not be recorded as liabilities in the partnership financial
statements until such time as payment is probable.
Management fees for the properties are paid to an affiliate of the
General Partners. The management agreement provides for 5% of gross monthly
receipts of the properties to be paid as fees for administering the operations
of the properties. These fees totaled $104,553, $150,726 and $217,095 for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Computer service charges for the Partnership are paid or accrued to an
affiliate of the General Partners. The fee is based upon the number of apartment
units and totaled $5,340, $8,640 and $14,040 for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996.

7. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Con't.):
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Corporate
General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of certain costs and
expenses incurred by the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates in
connection with the administration of the Partnership. These charges were for
the Partnership's allocated share of such costs and expenses which include
payroll, legal, rent, depreciation, printing, mailing, travel, and communication
costs related to partnership accounting, partner communication and relations,
property marketing, and refinancing and are included in property operations.
Additionally, Partnership accounting and portfolio management fees, investor
services fees and brokerage fees are allocated based on total assets, number of
partners and number of units, respectively. Such charges totaled $115,217,
$141,849 and $178,372, respectively.
The Corporate General Partner is entitled to a continuing Partnership
Management Fee equal to 7% of net cash flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement), of which 2% is subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners
of a non-cumulative annual cash return equal to 7% of the average of their
adjusted Capital Contributions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The
Corporate General Partner is paid its 5% Partnership Management Fee annually as
cash flow allows. The 2% subordinated fee will not be paid or accrued until such
time as the Limited Partners have received their 7% return and payment of the
fee becomes probable.
No fee was paid for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
Accounts receivable from affiliates totaled $103,210 at December 31,
