CAPITAL REALTY INVESTORS-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)


1.           ORGANIZATION

Capital Realty Investors-III Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership which was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on June 27, 1983.  The Partnership was formed for the purpose of raising capital by offering and selling limited partnership interests and then investing in limited partnerships ("Local Partnerships"), each of which owns and operates an existing rental housing project which was originally financed and/or operated with one or more forms of rental assistance or financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The Partnership originally made investments in thirty-seven Local Partnerships.  As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership retained investments in four Local Partnerships.

The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which is the Managing General Partner, and current and former shareholders of CRI.  Services for the Partnership are performed by CRI, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

2.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Capital Realty Investors-III Limited Partnership (the Partnership) as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  The results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.           PLAN OF LIQUIDATION

On November 21, 2005, the General Partners recommended that the limited partners approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution for the Partnership.  The plan of liquidation and dissolution was approved by the limited partners on January 20, 2006.  Since the approval of the plan of liquidation and dissolution, we have continued to seek to sell the assets of the Partnership and use the sales proceeds and/or other Partnership funds to pay all expenses in connection with such sales, pay or make provision for payment of all Partnership obligations and liabilities, and distribute the remaining assets as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Numerous variables, including adverse general economic conditions, as well as, partnership and regulatory restrictions, have impacted the timeframe required to accomplish the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.  There can be no assurance as to when the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership will be completed.

These contributions were payable in installments upon each Local Partnership achieving specified levels of construction and/or operations. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, all such capital contributions had been paid to the Local Partnerships.

a.           Summarized financial information

Combined statements of operations for the four Local Partnerships in which the Partnership was invested as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, follow.  The combined statements have been compiled from information supplied by the management agents of the Local Partnership properties and are unaudited.  The information for each of the periods is presented separately for those Local Partnerships which have investment basis (equity method), and for those Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships (equity method suspended).  Appended after the combined statements is information concerning the Partnership’s share of income from Local Partnerships.

b.           Due on investments in partnerships and accrued interest payable

Notes

Due on investment in partnership includes $119,544 due to a previous owner related to Meadow Lanes Apartments at both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009; accrued interest payable thereon was $33,976 at both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  These amounts will be paid upon the occurrence of certain specific events, as outlined in the note agreement. The fair value of the note approximates its carrying value.

c.           Assets held for sale or transfer

Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II

On November 8, 2006, contracts for the sales of the Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II properties were signed.  The contracts were extended through December 31, 2009 on each of the properties.  On February 4, 2010, the purchaser changed the structure of the deal to a purchase of the partnership interests of the Partnership in each of Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II by executing a Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement.  The Partnership has no basis in the Local Partnership and net capitalized acquisition fees and property purchase costs were reduced to zero at December 31, 2007.

Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the contract and negotiations with the potential purchaser were terminated.  The General Partner is currently exploring alternative options for the future sale of the Villa Mirage I and Villa Mirage II properties or the sale of the Partnership’s interest in the respective Local Partnerships.

d.           Advances to Local Partnerships

On October 23, 2009, the Partnership advanced $66,300 to Villa Mirage II for operating expenses.  For financial statement purposes, the advance was charged off by the Partnership as a result of losses at the Local Partnership level during prior years.

On October 23, 2009, the Partnership advanced $56,680 to Pebble Valley Housing Partners Ltd. Partnership (Monterey/Hillcrest) for certain taxes. On November 5, 2009, the Partnership advanced $2,000 to Monterey/Hillcrest for certain taxes. On September 15, 2009, the Partnership advanced $3,000 to Monterey/Hillcrest for certain taxes. On April 14, 2010, the Partnership advanced $13,686 to Monterey/Hillcrest for certain taxes.

Part I.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
       and Results of Operations


The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is based on the financial statements, and contains information that may be considered forward looking, including statements regarding the effect of governmental regulations.  Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be affected by a variety of factors including national and local economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, governmental regulations affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates, and the availability of working capital.

Financial Condition/Liquidity

The Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $4,043,873 as of June 30, 2010, along with anticipated future cash distributions from Local Partnerships, is expected to be adequate to meet its current and anticipated operating cash needs.  As of October 4, 2010, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, existing cash resources were adequate to support operating cash requirements.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $398,335 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to cash used in operating activities.

Results of Operations

The Partnership’s net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to 2009, primarily due to increased general and administrative expense and an increase in loss from partnerships.  Share of loss from partnerships increased primarily due to a $13,686 advance to Monterey/Hillcrest for certain taxes.  General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to direct expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.

The Partnership’s net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to 2009, primarily due to increased general and administrative costs and professional fees and a reduction in interest revenue.  Interest revenue decreased due to lower interest rates earned in 2010.  General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to direct expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.  Professional fees increased primarily due to higher audit costs.

For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As a result, the Partnership's share of income from partnerships for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, did not include losses of $7,275 and $20,961, respectively, compared to excluded losses of $103,947 and $191,245 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Part I.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
       and Results of Operations - Continued


Certain taxing authorities may assert claims against the Partnership for failure to withhold and remit income tax on operating profit or where the sale(s) of property in which the Partnership was invested failed to produce sufficient cash proceeds with which to pay the tax and/or to pay statutory partnership filing fees.  The Partnership is unable to quantify the amount of such potential claims at this time. The Partnership has consistently advised its Partners that they should consult with their tax advisors as to the necessity of filing non-resident returns in such states with respect to their proportional taxes due.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a claim against the Partnership in the amount of $335,646.08.  The claim relates to a penalty from an alleged late filing in 2003, which the Partnership has contested.  The Partnership asserts that the filing was timely as an extension for the late filing was granted by the Internal Revenue Service under IR-2003-112 issued on September 24, 2003.  The Managing General Partner believes that this matter will be resolved and that this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of the Partnership. 

No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken place during the three month period ended June 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership has disclosed its selection and application of significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the notes to financial statements included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2009.  The Partnership accounts for its investments in partnerships (Local Partnerships) by the equity method because the Partnership is a limited partner in the Local Partnerships.  As such the Partnership has no control over the selection and application of accounting policies, or the use of estimates, by the Local Partnerships.  Environmental and operational trends, events and uncertainties that might affect the properties owned by the Local Partnerships would not necessarily have a significant impact on the Partnership’s application of the equity method of accounting, since the equity method has been suspended for three Local Partnerships which have cumulative losses in excess of the amount of the Partnership’s investments in those Local Partnerships.  The Partnership reviews property assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If an asset were determined to be impaired, its basis would be adjusted to fair value through the recognition of an impairment loss.

Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution

 
On November 21, 2005, the General Partners recommended that the limited partners approve a plan of liquidation and dissolution for the Partnership.  The plan of liquidation and dissolution was approved by the limited partners on January 20, 2006.  Since the approval of the plan of liquidation and dissolution, we have continued to seek to sell the assets of the Partnership and use the sales proceeds and/or other Partnership funds to pay all expenses in connection with such sales, pay or make provision for payment of all Partnership obligations and liabilities, and distribute the remaining assets as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Numerous variables, including adverse general economic conditions, as well as, partnership and regulatory restrictions, have impacted the timeframe required to accomplish the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.  There can be no assurance as to when the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership will be completed.

Part I.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 4.    Controls and procedurs
 
a)           Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

b)           Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 
Part II.    OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5.    Other Information
 
There has not been any information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, but not reported, whether or not otherwise required by this Form 10-Q at June 30, 2010.

There is no established market for the purchase and sale of units of additional limited partner interest (Units) in the Partnership, although various informal secondary market services may exist.  Due to the limited markets, however, investors may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of their Units.

On July 28, 2010, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $898,230 ($15 per Unit) to the Limited Partners who were holders of record as of July 1, 2010.
