Business. Development Winthrop Residential Associates III ("WRA III"), a limited partnership, was originally organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Maryland on June 28, 1982, for the purpose of investing, as a limited partner, in other limited partnerships which would develop, manage, own, operate and otherwise deal with apartment complexes which would be assisted by federal, state and local government agencies ("Local Limited Partnerships") pursuant to programs which would not significantly restrict distributions to owners or the rates of return on investments in such complexes. On December 15, 1982, WRA III elected to comply with and be governed by the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act") and filed its Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. In accordance with, and upon filing its certificate of Limited Partnership pursuant to, the Act, WRA III changed its name to Winthrop Residential Associates III, A Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"). The General Partners of the Partnership are Two Winthrop Properties, Inc. ("Two Winthrop") and Linnaeus-Oxford Associates Limited Partnership ("Linnaeus-Oxford"). The Initial Limited Partner is WFC Realty Co., Inc. ("WFC"). Two Winthrop and WFC are Massachusetts corporations which are wholly owned subsidiaries of First Winthrop Corporation ("First Winthrop"), a Delaware corporation, which in turn is wholly-owned by Winthrop Financial Associates, A Limited Partnership ("WFA"), a Maryland public limited partnership. Linnaeus-Oxford is a Massachusetts limited partnership. The general partners are Arthur J. Halleran, Jr. and Jonathan W. Wexler. As managing general partner, Mr. Halleran has exclusive control over the management and operation of Linnaeus-Oxford. Messrs. Halleran and Wexler are Directors of First Winthrop and Two Winthrop and, prior to December 22, 1994, Mr. Halleran was the sole general partner of the general partner of WFA. Two Winthrop is the Partnership's Managing General Partner. On December 22, 1994, pursuant to an Investment Agreement entered into among Nomura Asset Capital Corporation ("NACC"), Mr. Halleran and certain other individuals who comprise the senior management of WFA, the general partnership interest in Linnaeus was transferred to W.L. Realty, L.P. ("W.L. Realty"). W.L. Realty is a Delaware limited partnership, the general partner of which is A.I. Realty Company, LLC ("Realtyco"). The equity securities of Realtyco are currently held by certain employees of NACC. Such securities are subject to a call option agreement pursuant to which NACC may, at any time, elect to purchase such securities for $1.00. The Partnership was initially capitalized with contributions totalling $2,000 from its General Partners and $5,000 from WFC. In late 1982, the Partnership filed a Registration Statement on Form S-11 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a public offering of 25,000 Units of limited partnership interest ("Units") at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit (an aggregate of $25,000,000). The Registration Statement was declared effective on March 8, 1983. The offering terminated in July 1983, at which time subscriptions for 25,000 Units, representing capital contributions from Investor Limited Partners of $25,000,000, had been accepted. Capital contributions net of selling commissions, sales and registration costs, were utilized to purchase investments in Local Limited Partnerships and temporary short-term investments. Description of Business The only business of the Partnership is investing as a limited partner in other limited partnerships that own, operate and otherwise deal with apartment properties with financing insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The Partnership's investment objectives and policies are described at pages 21-26 of its Prospectus dated March 11, 1983 (the "Prospectus") under the caption "Investment Objectives and Policies," which description is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by this reference. The Prospectus was previously filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). Local Limited Partnerships The Partnership has completed its eleventh full year of operations. The Partnership initially acquired equity interests in the form of limited partnership interests in 12 Local Limited Partnerships owing and operating apartment properties. The Partnership sold its interests in four Local Limited Partnerships owning the following properties: Fairfax Towers (October 1988); Harborside Apartments Phase II (February 1989); and Hunter's Ridge Apartments Phase I and Hunter's Ridge Apartments Phase II (October 1991). The Partnership lost its ownership interest in a fifth property, Liberty Square Townhomes, when HUD foreclosed on the Local Limited Partnership owning that property in February 1992. The Partnership reduced its interest in two Local Limited Partnerships, those owning Maple Manor and The Groves, during 1988. The Partnership accepted a proposal of the local general partner of Fayetteville Apartments Limited Partnership (which owns Maple Manor) and Savannah River Associates Limited Partnership (which owns The Groves) whereby the local general partner will contribute up to $250,000 in additional capital under specific circumstances to prevent the mortgages secured by those properties from being assigned to HUD. In exchange for this commitment, the ownership interest allocations as well as the allocation provisions for the distribution of cash from these Local Limited Partnerships were amended to increase the local general partner's share from 5% to 50%. The partnership agreements were amended to reflect this change as well as adding a provision enabling the local general partner to use any distributable cash flow generated by one of these two Local Limited Partnerships as a loan or capital contribution to the second Local Limited Partnership on behalf of the Partnership and the local general partner if the second Local Limited Partnership required additional funding. The effect of these changes on the Partnership is to reduce the amount of cash it receives from these two Local Limited Partnerships. However, by obtaining a source of funding for up to $250,000 of operating deficits, the threat of losing the Partnership's investment in these two Local Limited Partnerships through a foreclosure action is decreased. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the properties owned by the seven Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has retained an interest and which continue to own apartment properties as of March 15, 1995: Mortgage Principal Mortgage Amortization No. of Equity Amount of Interest Period (Years Property Units Payments Mortgage(1) Rate Remaining)(2) 1) Clear Creek Landing Apartments(3)(4) Houston, TX 200 $ 1,970,173 $ 3,042,856 7.5% 36 Years 2) Village Square Apartments(5) Manassas, VA 285 1,072,923 7,907,170 7.5% 38 Years 3) Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 1 Baltimore, MD 72 576,000 2,426,800 7.5% 36 Years 4) Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2 Baltimore, MD(7) 72 671,560 2,718,700 7.5% 40 Years 5) The Groves Apartments North Augusta, SC 132 1,150,576 2,278,600 7.5% 36 Years 6) Autumn Chase Apartments(3)(6) Mobil, AL 120 895,000 3,129,800 7.5% 40 Years 7) Maple Manor Apartments Fayetteville, AR 128 1,197,982 1,641,791 7.0% 31 Years ------ --------- --------- 1,009 $ 7,534,214 $ 23,145,717 ===== = ========== = ==========

Descriptions of the properties and the terms upon which the Partnership acquired them are set forth at pages 32-45 of the Prospectus under the caption "Initial Investment"; pages 1- 10 of the Supplement to the Prospectus dated July 20, 1983 (the "July 20, 1983 Supplement"), under the caption "Investments in Local Limited Partnerships"; pages 17-20 of the Property Report of the Partnership dated September 30, 1983, and pages 7-27 of the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 31, 1984 under the caption "Item 1. Business," all of which descriptions are attached hereto as an Exhibit and incorporated herein by this reference. The July 20, 1983 Supplement was filed with the Commission as Post Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Partnership's Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration No. 2-81033). See also Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements included as a part of this Annual Report for additional information concerning the properties. Defaults The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in Local Limited Partnerships which own apartment properties, all of which are financed with HUD-insured first mortgages. If a Local Limited Partnership defaults on a HUD-insured mortgage, the mortgagee can assign the defaulted mortgage to HUD and recover the principal owed on its first mortgage from HUD. HUD, in its discretion, may then either (i) negotiate a workout agreement with the Local Limited Partnership, or (ii) pursue its right to transfer the ownership of the property from the Local Limited Partnership to HUD through a foreclosure action. The objective of a workout agreement between an owner and HUD is to secure HUD's sanction of a plan which, over time, will cure any mortgage delinquencies. While a workout agreement is effective and its terms are being met, HUD agrees not to pursue any remedies available to it as a result of the default. If the owner does default under the terms of the workout agreement or if HUD concludes that a property in default lacks the ability to generate sufficient revenue to cure its default, it may pursue its right to assume ownership of the property through foreclosure. Two Local Limited Partnerships (owning Autumn Chase and Clear Creek), which were previously in default, currently have Provisional Workout Arrangements in effect with HUD. The Partnership also holds an ownership interest in a Local Limited Partnership (owning Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2) which is currently in default on its mortgage obligation. The Local Limited Partnership owning Autumn Chase defaulted on its mortgage in November 1989 and the mortgage was assigned to HUD in 1990. In May 1991, the Local Limited Partnership negotiated a one-year workout agreement with HUD and has subsequently obtained additional workout agreements, the most recent agreement expiring in April 2000. The terms of the most recent agreement require that in addition to payments for a service charge and real estate taxes, 110.89% of the accruing interest on the outstanding loan be paid initially. The Local Limited Partnership met the terms of the agreement throughout 1994. The Local Limited Partnership owning Clear Creek defaulted on its mortgage in May 1988 and the mortgage was assigned to HUD in July 1988. The property is currently operating under a one-year workout agreement with HUD which will expire in July 1995. The terms of the agreement require that, in addition to payments for a service charge and real estate taxes, approximately 130% of the accruing interest on the outstanding loan be paid currently. The Local Limited Partnership met the terms of the agreement throughout 1994. The Local Limited Partnership Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2 defaulted on its mortgage obligation in June 1994. The mortgage is in the process of being assigned to HUD. Reserves The Partnership originally set aside approximately $580,000 as operating reserves from the proceeds of the original offering. The Partnership has added funds to these reserves from its cash flow from the Local Limited Partnerships and from a portion of the sale proceeds of Fairfax Towers and its interest in Harborside Apartments Phase II, Hunter's Ridge Phase I and Hunters Ridge Phase II. Such funds have been invested in short-term taxable money-market and government instruments. To date, $291,489 has been contributed from the operating reserve to assist the Local Limited Partnerships with operating deficits. All advances made to the Local Limited Partnerships have been recorded as capital contributions to the Local Limited Partnerships. However, the Local Limited Partnerships have recorded only a portion of the advances as capital contributions and the remaining amount as loans. In addition, in 1994, the Partnership utilized $753,609 of these reserves to fund a portion of the cash distribution to the Investor Limited Partners. As of December 31, 1994 there is approximately $2,046,000 remaining in the operating reserves. Employees The Partnership does not have any employees. Services are performed for the Partnership by the Managing General Partner, and agents retained by it. Item 2. Properties. Other than the limited partnership interests set forth in Item 1 above, the Partnership does not own any property. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholders Matters. The Registrant is a partnership and thus has no common stock. There is no active market for the Units. Trading in the Units is sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions. As of December 31, 1994, there were 2,225 holders of the Units. The Partnership Agreement requires that if the Partnership has Cash Available for Distribution it be distributed quarterly to the Partners in specified proportions. The Partnership Agreement defines Cash Available for Distribution as Cash Flow less cash designated by the Managing General Partner to be held for restoration or creation of reserves. Cash Flow, in turn, is defined as cash derived from the Local Limited Partnerships (but excluding sale or refinancing proceeds) and all cash derived from Partnership operations, less cash used to pay operating expenses of the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, cash distributions paid or accrued to the Limited Partners as a group were $1,000,000 each year. Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Reserves As of March 15, 1995, the Partnership retained an equity interest in seven Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership follows the equity method of accounting for these interests and ecognizes its proportionate share of income and losses incurred by the Local Limited Partnerships. Generally, the Partnership's equity in losses in the Local Limited Partnerships decrease over time due to two factors; although in 1990 and 1992, the Partnership's equity in losses increased over the previous years'. Losses attributable to a Local Limited Partnership are not recognized if those losses would cause the Partnership's investment account for that Local Limited Partnership to become negative since the Partnership has no obligation to fund them. In 1990, the equity in losses increased due to a revaluation of the value of Clear Creek, which accelerated the recognition of losses to the extent of its remaining investment account. In 1992, the equity in losses increased due to an increase in vacancy and operating expenses at The Groves. In 1993, the equity in losses decreased because The Groves' remaining investment account was not sufficient to recognize all 1993 losses from the Local Limited Partnership. In 1994, the equity in losses decreased since the only losses recognized by the Partnership were from Maple Manor. For fiscal 1994, $357,648 of the Partnership's share of losses from the Local Limited Partnerships were not recognized since the related investments had been fully written off. Cumulatively through 1994, a total of $4,479,983 of the Partnership's equity in losses from the Local Limited Partnerships has been deferred. The equity method of accounting is used solely for financial reporting purposes; all losses continue to be recognized for tax purposes. The tax losses of the Partnership will decrease over time because the advantages of accelerated depreciation taken by the Local Limited Partnerships are greatest in the earlier years. Also, the deductions for mortgage interest expense will steadily decrease as the mortgage principals are amortized. The Partnership requires cash to pay its general and administrative expenses or to make advances to any of the Local Limited Partnerships the Managing General Partner deems to be in the Partnership's best interest to preserve its ownership interest. To date, all cash requirements have been satisfied by interest income earned on short-term investments and cash distributed to the Partnership by the Local Limited Partnerships. If the Partnership funds any operating deficits, it will use monies from its operating reserves. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership held operating reserves of approximately $2,046,000 which is expected to be sufficient to fund any anticipated deficits. The Managing General Partner's current policy is to maintain a reserve balance sufficient to provide, at a minimum, interest income in an amount equal to the Partnership's annual general and administrative expenses. Therefore, a lack of cash distributed by the Local Limited Partnerships to the Partnership in the future will not deplete the reserves, though it may restrict the Partnership from making distributions to the Investor Limited Partners. The Partnership has reserves which, in principal, could be used to make advances to the Local Limited Partnerships. However, the Partnership does not intend to make advances to fund any future operating deficits incurred by the Local Limited Partnerships, but retains its prerogative to exercise a business judgement to reverse this position if circumstances warrant a change in this policy. Moreover, the Partnership is not obligated to provide any additional funds to the Local Limited Partnerships to fund operating deficits. If a Local Limited Partnership sustains continuing operating deficits and had no other source of funding, it is likely that the Local Limited Partnership will eventually default on its mortgage obligation and risk a foreclosure on its property by the lender. If a foreclosure were to occur, the Local Limited Partnership would lose its investment in the property and would incur a tax liability due to the recapture of tax benefits taken in prior years. The Partnership as an owner of the Local Limited Partnership, would share these consequences in proportion to its ownership interest in the Local Limited Partnership. Results of Operations A number of the properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested have operated at a deficit for many years due to their location in areas with weak economies or overbuilt rental markets. Economic and competitive forces also impede properties operating at break even or better to improve their financial operating results, that is, to generate increasing net cash flow in each subsequent year after operating expenses and financial obligations. As markets deteriorated during the mid-1980's, the Local Limited Partnerships experiencing financial difficulties sought alternative sources of funding to cover operating deficits. In some cases, these Local Limited Partnerships secured additional funding from their general partners. From 1985 through 1988, the Partnership did provide some funding to five Local Limited Partnerships to preserve its ownership interest in those properties. However, as it became apparent that the recovery of these markets would be prolonged and that the Partnership's resources were limited, funding was discontinued. Consequently, some Local Limited Partnerships incurring continuing deficits ceased making full debt service payments, putting the mortgages into default, and instead began negotiating with lenders for mortgage modifications to reduce debt service payments to a level property operations could support. Three Local Limited Partnerships, owning Autumn Chase, Clear Creek and Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2 have defaulted on their mortgage obligations. Autumn Chase is currently operating under a Provisional Workout Arrangement which is effective from July 1, 1994 through April 30, 2000. The terms of the agreement require minimum monthly payments equal to 110.89% of accruing interest as well as payments for a service charge and real estate taxes. The two previous workout agreements which expired in April 1994 and April 1993 required minimum monthly debt service payments equal to 100% and 85%, respectively, of the accruing interest as well as a service charge and real estate tax payments. Autumn Chase has met the minimum debt service requirements in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Due to the financial condition of Autumn Chase, however, no cash distributions have been made to the Partnership in 1993 or 1994 and no cash distribution will be made to the Partnership in 1995. Clear Creek is currently operating under a Provisional Workout Arrangement which is effective from August 1, 1994 through July 31, 1995. The terms of the agreement require minimum monthly payments equal to approximately 130% of accruing interest as well as payments for a service charge and real estate taxes. The two previous workout agreements which expired in July 1994 and April 1995 required minimum monthly debt service payments equal to 110% and 100%, respectively, of the accruing interest as well as a service charge and real estate tax payments. Clear Creek has met the minimum debt service requirements in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Due to the financial condition of Clear Creek, however, no cash distributions have been made to the Partnership in 1993 or 1994 and no cash distribution will be made to the Partnership in 1995. The Local Limited Partnership owning Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2 defaulted on its mortgage obligation in June 1994. The mortgage is in the process of being assigned to HUD. Due to Dunhaven's financial situation, no cash distribution will be made to the Partnership in 1995 from 1994 operations. While Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2 was able to meet its debt service payments in 1993 and 1992 through funding by the local general partner and Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 1, no cash was distributed to the Partnership from 1993 or 1992 operations. The four properties owned by the remaining Local Limited Partnerships met their financial obligations in 1994. Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 1 incurred an operating deficit, Maple Manor operated at break even, and Village Square and The Groves generated varying amounts of operating cash flow. Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 1 incurred a slight deficit in 1994 which was funded by cash reserves. Accordingly, no cash distribution was made to the Partnership in 1994. While Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 1 was able to generate a small amount of cash flow in 1993 and 1992, no cash distributions were made to the Partnership. Village Square generated substantial operating cash flow in 1994 and it is anticipated that a cash distribution will be made to the Partnership in 1995 from the 1994 cash flow. The Partnership received cash distributions from Village Square of $263,298 in 1994 and $246,843 in 1993 from cash flow generated by Village Square in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Maple Manor operated at break even in 1994 and will not be making a cash distribution to the Partnership in 1995. In 1993 and 1992, Maple Manor generated positive cash flow, a portion of which was used to make a capital contribution to The Groves. The Groves generated positive cash flow in 1994, however, will not be making a cash distribution to the Partnership. In 1993 and 1992, The Groves operated at a deficit. The improved operations are due, in part, to a reduction in repair and maintenance expenditures. An aggressive repair and maintenance program began in 1992 which was aimed at increasing the property's competitiveness. This program was completed 1993, resulting in lower repair and maintenance expenditures for 1994. The Local Limited Partnerships' objectives are to improve operating results for all properties and to continue to operate under HUD-sanctioned workout agreements for those properties that are in default on their mortgage obligations until any delinquencies are cured. The Partnership believes that as long as the Local Limited Partnerships which own properties in default continue to negotiate with HUD to work out their financial difficulties, the threat of foreclosure is mitigated. Moreover, any workout agreement entered into between HUD and the Local Limited Partnerships will have no affect on the Partnership's ability to deduct mortgage interest expense unless HUD agrees to forgive such interest indebtedness. As of March 15, 1995, none of the Local Limited Partnerships had agreements with HUD which would forgive accrued interest. The results of operations for future years may differ from those in 1994 as a result of many factors. One will be the ability of the Local Limited Partnerships which currently have provisional workout agreements with HUD to extend those agreements until all mortgage delinquencies have been cured. Another factor will be the ability of the Local Limited Partnership owning Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2 Phase 1 to operate at break even or better. Another factor will be the ability of each Local Limited Partnership to deal with the consequences of changing economic conditions that affect property operations. The Partnership's investment in Local Limited Partnerships owning rental real estate is subject to the risk involved with the management and ownership of rental real estate. Vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses are all dependent on general and local economic conditions. Shifts in the economy could result in differing operating results for each individual Local Limited Partnership. In these markets, operating results in future years may depend on the properties' ability to maintain competitive rental rates while using its available resources to fund necessary repairs and replacements. The Partnership's plan is to work with the Local Limited Partnerships to maintain ownership of and seek workout agreements with HUD for those properties in default on their mortgage. Although the Partnership has no ability to force a sale of properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will also work with the Local Limited Partnerships to investigate sale opportunities for those properties generating positive cash flow and will continue to work with the Local Limited Partnerships to improve the financial performance of all the properties.

Independent Auditors' Reports for Certain of the Local Limited Partnerships REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To WINTHROP RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES III, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WINTHROP RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES III, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (a Maryland limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Partnership's General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain Local Limited Partnerships, the investments in which are reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting and have been written down to zero (see Note 2). Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those Local Limited Partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WINTHROP RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES III, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations, changes in partners' capital and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule III, listed in the index to the financial statements, is the responsibility of WINTHROP RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATES III, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Boston, Massachusetts March 23, 1995 STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 1994 1993 1992 -------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ------------ Income from Local Limited Partnership cash distributions............................ $ 263,298 $ 246,843 $ - Interest income........................... 107,868 102,927 192,875 ----------- ------------ ------------ 371,166 349,770 192,875 ----------- ------------ ------------ Expenses: Amortization............................. 3,780 3,780 7,716 General and administrative............... 43,478 77,615 58,669 47,258 81,395 66,385 ------------ ------------ Income from operations..................... 323,908 268,375 126,490 Equity in loss of Local Limited Partnerships (19,668) (92,661) (231,237) ----------------------------------------- Net income (loss).......................... $ 304,240 $ 175,714 $ (104,747) ------------ ------------- ------------ Net income (loss) allocated to General Partners................................. $ 22,818 $ 13,179 $ (7,856) ------------- ------------ Net income (loss) allocated to Limited Partners................................. $ 281,422 $ 162,535 $ (96,891) ------------ ------------- ------------ Net income (loss) per Unit of Limited Partnership Interest..................... $ 11.25 $ 6.50 $ (3.87) ------------ ------------- ------------

............................................................... Supplemental disclosure of noncash activities: The Managing General Partner declared a fourth quarter distribution of $270,324, which was distributed February 14, 1995. The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1994 1. ORGANIZATION Winthrop Residential Associates III, a Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized on June 28, 1982 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Maryland to invest in limited partnerships (the "Local Limited Partnerships") which develop, manage, operate and otherwise deal in government assisted apartment complexes that do not significantly restrict distributions to owners or the rate of return on investments in such properties. On December 15, l982, the Partnership elected to comply with and be governed by the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2003, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Financial Statements - The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of a mutual fund that invests in treasury bills and repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are valued at cost which approximates market value. Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes in the financial statements of the Partnership. The Partners are required to report on their individual tax returns their allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership. The Partnership files its tax returns on the accrual basis. On May 6, l983, the Internal Revenue Service issued a ruling that the Partnership should be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Investments in Local Limited Partnerships - The Partnership accounts for its investment in each Local Limited Partnership using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment cost (including amounts paid or accrued) is subsequently adjusted by the Partnership's share of the Local Limited Partnership's results of operations and by distributions received or accrued. Equity in the loss of Local Limited Partnerships is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative because the Partnership has no obligation to fund these losses. Distributions to Partners - Cash distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships (Cash Flow) are included in the computation of the Partnership's Cash Available for Distribution in the quarter received. As provided for in the Partnership Agreement, quarterly distributions are payable to the Partners within 60 days after the end of the quarter, exclusive of sales proceeds. From July 1, 1987 through December 31, 1990, all cash flow, excluding Fairfax and Harborside sale proceeds, was retained by the Partnership and added to operating reserves. In 1991, the Partnership began to distribute cash on a quarterly basis. The total amount distributed or accrued in 1994 and 1993 was approximately $1,081,300 for each year. 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Two Winthrop Properties, Inc. ("Two Winthrop"), the Managing General Partner, is a wholly owned subsidiary of First Winthrop Corporation ("First Winthrop"), which in turn is wholly owned by Winthrop Financial Associates, A Limited Partnership ("WFA"). Linnaeus Oxford Associates, the other General Partner of the Partnership, is a limited partnership of which some general partners are partners of WFA. WFA and its affiliates manage or advise a large number of partnerships organized to own or operate real estate as well as other investments, or to invest in other limited partnerships that own or operate real estate or other investments. WFA has formed directly or through affiliates, additional partnerships or other entities, both public and private, some of which may have the same investment objectives as the Partnership. At December 31, 1994, a subsidiary of First Winthrop remains a comanaging general partner in a Local Limited Partnership. The General Partners are entitled to 7.5% of Cash Available for Distribution. For 1994, 1993 and 1992, the General Partners had been accrued or received cash distributions of approximately $81,100 for each year. During the liquidation stage of the Partnership, the General Partners and their affiliates are entitled to receive certain distributions, subordinated to specified minimum returns to the Limited Partners as described in the Partnership Agreement. 4. INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership has limited partnership equity interests in seven Local Limited Partnerships that own fully operating apartment complexes. These Local Limited Partnerships have outstanding mortgages totaling $21,363,052, which are secured by the Local Limited Partnerships' real property, security interests, liens and endorsements common to first mortgage loans. Since inception, the Partnership has made additional investments of $291,489 in several Local Limited Partnerships, $154,382 of which has been accounted for as operating deficit advances and $137,107 as capital contributions by the Local Limited Partnerships. Additional investments in 1993 were $16,500. There were no additional investments in 1994. During 1988, the Partnership entered into agreements with the local General Partner of the Savannah River Associates Limited Partnership and Fayetteville Apartments. The agreement stipulates that the local General Partner will contribute additional capital in the aggregate of $250,000, to avoid an assignment of the mortgages by the mortgage lender to HUD. There is no obligation on the part of the General Partner to make any contribution when, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment, it is determined that it is not reasonably likely that the partners will realize a return on their investment sufficient to justify making such contribution. In exchange for this agreement to fund additional capital, the Partnership's interest in the sharing arrangements of profit, losses, cash flow and residuals has been reduced. The investments in Local Limited Partnerships balances as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows: 1994 1993 Activity 1994 Equity Payments made (including equity payments to partners of Local Limited Partnerships totaling $1,683,895)................................. $ 19,619,971 $ 19,619,971 Additional investments made in and recognized as operating deficit advances by Local Limited Partnerships................................. 154,382 154,382 Capitalized costs........................................ 758,350 758,350 Cash distributions from Local Limited Partnerships.......

5. TAXABLE INCOME The Partnership's taxable income for 1994 differs from net income for financial reporting purposes primarily due to accounting differences in the recognition of construction period costs, calculation of depreciation incurred by the Local Limited Partnerships, and losses not recognizable under the equity method. The taxable income for 1994 is as follows: Net income for financial reporting purposes.................. $ 304,240 Plus: Amortization of the capitalized costs and the costs in excess of the Partnership's initial basis in the net assets of the Local Limited Partnerships....... 3,780 Minus: Tax losses in excess of Equity in Local Limited Partnerships' losses (due primarily to accelerated depreciation).....................................

6. LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS During 1992, the general partner of Liberty Square Town homes Limited Partnership, in which the Partnership owns a limited partnership interest, was notified that the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) foreclosed on its mortgage in February 1992. The Partnership's investment in Liberty Square was zero at the time of foreclosure, and it has no obligation to fund any liabilities related to Liberty Square Limited Partnership. Two Local Limited Partnerships, owning Autumn Chase and Clear Creek, which have been in default since 1989, secured Provisional Workout Arrangements with HUD during 1994. The workout arrangements are effecitve through April 2000 and July 1995, respectively. The Local Limited Partnership owning Dunhaven Apartments, Section 2, Phase 2, defaulted on its mortgage obligation in June 1994. The mortgage is in the process of being assigned to HUD by the mortgager. The Partnership is unable to determine at this time if these Local Limited Partnerships will be able to meet their financing requirements during the coming year. The Partnership is not obligated to fund operating deficits or mortgage loans of these Local Limited Partnerships.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Autumn Chase, Ltd. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of operations, partners' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those stands require taht we plan and perform the audit 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As discussed in Note B, the mortgage is in default as of the date of the audit and could result in foreclosure. Foreclosure by HUD would seriously impair the partnership's ability to continue as a going concern and to realize its investment in assets through future successful operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Because of the significance of the uncertainty about the partnership's ability to continue as a going concern, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, we are unable to express, and we do not express, an opinion on these financial statements. Kenmore, Gray and Co., P.C. February 3, 1995 Montgomery, Alabama Independent Auditor's Report To the Partners Clear Creek LTD. (A Limited Partneship) We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Clear Creek LTD., Project No. 114-35215 PM (a limited partnership), as of December 31, 1994 and the related statements of income, changes in partners' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. It is the partnership's policy to prepare its financial statements in the format prescribed by the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs issued July 1993. The formats for the financial statements prescribed by that Guide differ somewhat from those prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that the audit be planned and performed to obtain reasonable asurance 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Clear Creek LTD. at December 31, 1994 and the results of its operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for the year then ended in confomrtiy with generally accepted accounting principles, except for the format differences explained in the second paragraph above, applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statement stake nas a whole. The supporting information included in the report (shown on pages 14 to 32) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of HUD Project No. 114-35215PM. Such information has been subjected to the same auditing procedures applied in the examination of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is presented fairly in all mateiral respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the partnership will continue as a going concern. In lieu of foreclosure because of mortgage payment delinquencies, the Department of House and Urban Develompent has agreed to a "Provisional Workout Agreement". The necessity of the "Provisional Workout Agreement" has raised substantial doubt about the partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Under certain circumstances (as described in Note 2) HUD may foreclose the property in satisfaction of the outstanding debt. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any foreclosure proceedings.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in the report (shown on pages 13 through 22) is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of Walkint Limited Partnership.
