Business CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida on June 1, 1987. The general partners of the Partnership are Robert A. Bourne, James M. Seneff, Jr. and CNL Realty Corporation, a Florida corporation (the "General Partners"). Beginning on August 10, 1987, the Partnership offered for sale up to $25,000,000 in limited partnership interests (the "Units") (50,000 Units at $500 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering terminated on April 29, 1988, as of which date the maximum offering proceeds of $25,000,000 had been received from investors who were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners (the "Limited Partners"). The Partnership was organized primarily to acquire both newly constructed and existing restaurant properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants were to be constructed (the "Properties"), which are leased primarily to operators of selected national and regional fast-food restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership from its offering of Units, after deduction of organizational and offering expenses, totalled $22,125,102, and were used to acquire 32 Properties, including interests in two Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer. As of December 31, 2000, the Partnership owned 20 Properties directly and seven Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy-in-common arrangements. During 2001, the Partnership sold its Properties in Schererville, Indiana and Washington, Illinois. During 2002, Titusville Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 73.4% interest, sold its Property and the Partnership and the joint venture partner liquidated the joint venture. In addition, during 2002, the Partnership sold its Properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma; and Canton Township, Michigan. During 2003, the Partnership sold its Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 14 Properties directly and six Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy-in-common arrangements. Generally, the Properties are leased on a triple-net basis with the lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. The Partnership holds its Properties until the General Partners determine that the sale or other disposition of the Properties is advantageous in view of the Partnership's investment objectives. In deciding whether to sell Properties, the General Partners consider factors such as potential capital appreciation, net cash flow, and federal income taxes. Certain lessees have been granted options to purchase Properties, generally at the Property's then fair market value after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. The Partnership has no obligation to sell all or any portion of a Property at any particular time, except as may be required under Property or joint venture purchase options granted to certain lessees. Leases Although there are variations in the specific terms of the leases, the following is a summarized description of the general structure of the Partnership's leases. The leases of the Properties owned by the Partnership and joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer provide for initial terms ranging from 3 to 20 years (the average being 17 years), and expire between 2006 and 2019. Generally, leases are on a triple-net basis, with the lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. The leases of the Properties generally provide for minimum base annual rental payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent, based on sales in excess of a specified amount, to be paid annually. In addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual base rent during the lease term. Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two to four successive five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease. Lessees of 16 of the Partnership's 20 Properties also have been granted options to purchase Properties at each Property's then fair market value, or pursuant to a formula based on the original cost of the Property, if greater, after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. Fair market value will be determined through an appraisal by an independent firm. The leases generally provide that, in the event the Partnership wishes to sell the Property subject to that lease, the Partnership must first offer the lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and conditions, and for the same price, as any offer which the Partnership has received for the sale of the Property. In January 2002, Houlihan's Restaurant, Inc., filed for bankruptcy and rejected the one lease it has with the Partnership. In February 2003, the Partnership sold this Property to a third party. The Partnership used the sales proceeds from this sale to make a special distribution to the Limited Partners. Major Tenants During 2003, two lessees of the Partnership, Winston's GC No. 1, Inc., and IHOP Properties, Inc., each contributed more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues (including total rental revenues from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 2003, Winston's GC No. 1, Inc. was the lessee under a lease relating to one restaurant, and IHOP Properties Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to four restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments required by the leases, these two lessees will each continue to contribute more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues in 2004. In addition, five Restaurant Chains, IHOP, KFC, Golden Corral Buffet and Grill ("Golden Corral"), Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut each accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues during 2003 (including total rental revenues from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). In 2004, it is anticipated that these five Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than 10% of total rental revenues to which the Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or any of these Restaurant Chains will materially affect the Partnership's operating results, if the Partnership is not able to re-lease these Properties in a timely manner. As of December 31, 2003, IHOP Properties, Inc. leased Properties with an aggregate carrying value in excess of 20% of the total assets of the Partnership. Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common Arrangements The Partnership has entered into the following joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements as of December 31, 2003:
Entity Name Year Ownership Partners Property Tuscawilla Joint Venture 1987 69.07 % Various third party partners Winter Springs, FL CNL Income Fund III, Ltd., and CNL 1997 33.00 % CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd.

Entity Name Year Ownership Partners Property CNL Income Fund III, Ltd., and CNL 1999 20.00% CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd Baytown, TX Income Fund VI, Ltd., Tenants in Common
Each joint venture and tenancy in common was formed to hold one Property. Each CNL Income Fund is an affiliate of the General Partners and is a limited partnership organized pursuant to the laws of the state of Florida. The Partnership has management control of Tuscawilla Joint Venture and shares management control equally with the affiliates of the General Partners for the other joint ventures and tenancy in common arrangements. The joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements provide for the Partnership and its joint venture or tenancy in common partners to share in all costs and benefits in proportion to each partner's percentage interest in the entity or Property. The Partnership and its partners are also jointly and severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint venture or tenancy in common. Net cash flow from operations is distributed to each joint venture or tenancy in common partner in accordance with its respective percentage interest in the entity or Property. Each joint venture has an initial term of 20 years and, after the expiration of the initial term, continues in existence from year to year unless terminated at the option of either joint venturer by an event of dissolution. Events of dissolution include the bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any joint venturer, sale of the Property owned by the joint venture and mutual agreement of the Partnership and its joint venture partner to dissolve the joint venture. Any liquidation proceeds, after paying joint venture debts and liabilities and funding reserves for contingent liabilities, will be distributed first to the joint venture partners with positive capital account balances in proportion to such balances until such balances equal zero, and thereafter in proportion to each joint venture partner's percentage interest in the joint venture. The joint venture and tenancy in common agreements restrict each party's ability to sell, transfer or assign its interest without first offering it for sale to its partner, either upon such terms and conditions as to which the parties may agree or, in the event the parties cannot agree, on the same terms and conditions as any offer from a third party to purchase such joint venture or tenancy in common interest. The use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements allows the Partnership to fully invest its available funds at times at which it would not have sufficient funds to purchase an additional property, or at times when a suitable opportunity to purchase an additional property is not available. The use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements also provides the Partnership with increased diversification of its portfolio among a greater number of properties. In addition, tenancy in common arrangements may allow the Partnership to defer the gain for federal income tax purposes upon the sale of the Property if the proceeds are reinvested in an additional Property. Certain Management Services RAI Restaurants, Inc. (the "Advisor"), an affiliate of the General Partners, provided certain services relating to management of the Partnership and its Properties pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership. Under this agreement, the Advisor is responsible for collecting rental payments, inspecting the Properties and the tenants' books and records, assisting the Partnership in responding to tenant inquiries and notices, and providing information to the Partnership about the status of the leases and the Properties. The Advisor also assists the General Partners in negotiating the leases. For these services, the Partnership has agreed to pay the Advisor an annual fee of one-half of one percent of Partnership assets (valued at cost) under management, not to exceed the lesser of one percent of gross rental revenues or competitive fees for comparable services. Under the management agreement, the property management fee is subordinated to receipt by the Limited Partners of an aggregate, ten percent, noncumulative, noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital contributions (the "10% Preferred Return"), calculated in accordance with the Partnership's limited partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"). In any year in which the Limited Partners have not received the 10% Preferred Return, no property management fee will be paid. The property management agreement continues until the Partnership no longer owns an interest in any Properties unless terminated at an earlier date upon 60 days' prior notice by either party. During 2003, CNL Capital Management, Inc., ("CCM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Financial Group, Inc., began providing certain strategic advisory services to the General Partners relative to the Partnership's business. CCM is not reimbursed for these services by the Partnership. CCM also began providing some accounting and portfolio management services to the Partnership during 2003, through a subcontract with the Advisor. Competition The fast-food and family-style restaurant business is characterized by intense competition. The restaurants on the Partnership's Properties compete with independently owned restaurants, restaurants which are part of local or regional chains, and restaurants in other well-known national chains, including those offering different types of food and service. Employees The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty Corporation, the officers and employees of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. (formerly CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.), the parent company of the Advisor, and the officers and employees of CCM perform certain services for the Partnership. In addition, the General Partners have available to them the resources and expertise of the officers and employees of CNL Financial Group, Inc., a diversified real estate company, and its affiliates, who may also perform certain services for the Partnership. Item 2. Properties As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 20 Properties. Of the 20 Properties, 14 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, two are owned through joint venture arrangements and four are owned through tenancy in common arrangements. See Item 1. Business - Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common Arrangements. The Partnership is not permitted to encumber its Properties under the terms of its partnership agreement. Description of Properties Land. The Partnership's Property sites range from approximately 11,800 to 67,300 square feet depending upon building size and local demographic factors. Sites purchased by the Partnership are in locations zoned for commercial use which have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume. The following table lists the Properties owned by the Partnership, either directly or indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements, as of December 31, 2003 by state. State Number of Properties Alabama 1 Arizona 1 California 1 Colorado 1 Florida 4 Georgia 1 Kansas 2 Minnesota 1 Missouri 1 Nebraska 1 Texas 6 -------------- TOTAL PROPERTIES 20 ============== Buildings. Each of the Properties includes a building that is one of a Restaurant Chain's approved designs. The buildings generally are rectangular and are constructed from various combinations of stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile. Building sizes range from approximately 1,900 to 7,900 square feet. Generally, all buildings on Properties acquired by the Partnership are freestanding and surrounded by paved parking areas. Buildings are suitable for conversion to various uses, although modifications may be required prior to use for other than restaurant operations. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership had no plans for renovation of the Properties. Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements using the straight-line method using depreciable lives of 31.5 and 39 years for federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, and the unconsolidated joint ventures (including the Properties owned through tenancy in common arrangements) for federal income tax purposes was $9,686,435 and $7,858,323, respectively. The following table lists the Properties owned by the Partnership, either directly or indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements, as of December 31, 2003 by Restaurant Chain. Restaurant Chain Number of Properties Burger King 1 Casey's Grill 1 Chevy's Fresh Mex 1 Golden Corral 1 IHOP 4 KFC 4 Pizza Hut 3 Ruby Tuesday 1 Taco Bell 2 Other 2 -------------- TOTAL PROPERTIES 20 ============== The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations. The General Partners believe that the Properties are adequately covered by insurance. In addition, the General Partners have obtained contingent liability and property coverage for the Partnership. This insurance is intended to reduce the Partnership's exposure in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance policy lapses or is insufficient to cover a claim relating to the Property. Leases. The Partnership leases the Properties to operators of Restaurant Chains. The leases are generally on a long-term "triple net" basis, meaning that the tenant is responsible for repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities and insurance. The following is a schedule of the average rent per Property and occupancy rates for each of the years ended December 31:
2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 ------------- ------------- --------------- -------------- -------------- Rental Revenues (1)(2) $ 1,426,633 $ 1,536,998 $ 1,869,205 $1,947,948 $ 1,939,767 Properties (2) 20 20 24 26 27 Average Rent per Property $ 71,332 $ 76,850 $ 77,884 $ 74,921 $ 71,843 Occupancy Rate 100% 95% 96% 96% 98%

Leases with Major Tenants. The terms of each of the leases with the Partnership's major tenants as of December 31, 2003 (see Item 1. Business - Major Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1. Business - Leases. IHOP Properties, Inc. leases four IHOP restaurants. The initial term of each lease is 20 years (expiring between 2017 and 2019) and the average minimum base annual rent is approximately $147,700 (ranging from approximately $120,200 to $174,300). Winston's GC No. 1, Inc. leases one Golden Corral restaurant. The initial term of the lease is 15 years (expiring in 2013) and a minimum base annual rent of approximately $110,000. Item 3. Legal Proceedings Neither the Partnership, nor its General Partners, nor any affiliate of the Partnership, nor any of their respective Properties, is party to, or subject to, any material pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders Not applicable. PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters (a) As of March 12, 2004, there were 2,009 holders of record of the Units. There is no public trading market for the Units, and it is not anticipated that a public market for the Units will develop. During 2003, Limited Partners who wished to sell their Units may have offered the Units for sale pursuant to the Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"), and Limited Partners who wished to have their distributions used to acquire additional Units (to the extent Units were available for purchase), may have done so pursuant to such Plan. The General Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of Units. From inception through December 31, 2003, the price paid for any Unit transferred pursuant to the Plan ranged from $339 to $475 per Unit. The price paid for any Units transferred other than pursuant to the Plan was subject to negotiation by the purchaser and the selling Limited Partner. The Partnership will not redeem or repurchase Units. The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, low and average sales prices for transfers of Units during 2003 and 2002 other than pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions.
2003 (1) 2002 (1) ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ High Low Average High Low Average -------- --------- ---------- -------- --------- ----------- First Quarter $330 $ 205 $ 255 $298 $ 212 $ 228 Second Quarter 336 200 268 215 215 215 Third Quarter 339 339 339 323 215 237 Fourth Quarter 339 259 291 181 181 181
(1) A total of 215 and 615 Units were transferred other than pursuant to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The capital contribution per Unit was $500. All cash available for distribution will be distributed to the partners pursuant to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership declared cash distributions of $1,756,252 and $3,082,500, respectively, to the Limited Partners. Distributions during 2003 and 2002 included $350,000 and $1,600,000, respectively, in special distributions, as a result of the distribution of net sales proceeds from the 2003 sale of the Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina and the 2002 sales of the Properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma; and Canton Township, Michigan, and the liquidating distribution received from Titusville Joint Venture and the 2001 sale of the Property in Washington, Illinois. These amounts were applied toward the Limited Partners' cumulative 10% Preferred Return. These special distributions were effectively a return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although, in accordance with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited Partners' unpaid cumulative preferred return. The reduced number of Properties for which the Partnership receives rental payments, as well as ongoing operations, reduced the Partnership's revenues. The decrease in Partnership revenues, combined with the fact that a significant portion of the Partnership's expenses are fixed in nature, resulted in a decrease in cash distributions to the Limited Partners commencing during the quarters ended March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002. No amounts distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, are required to be or have been treated by the Partnership as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the Limited Partners' return on their adjusted capital contributions. No distributions have been made to the General Partners to date. As indicated in the chart below, these distributions were declared at the close of each of the Partnership's calendar quarters. These amounts include monthly distributions made in arrears for the Limited Partners electing to receive such distributions on this basis. 2003 2002 ------------- -------------- First Quarter $ 701,563 $ 975,000 Second Quarter 351,563 375,000 Third Quarter 351,563 375,000 Fourth Quarter 351,563 1,357,500 The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis, although the General Partners, in their sole discretion, may elect to pay distributions monthly.

Income (loss) from and gain (loss) on disposal of discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 includes $2,225 from gain on disposal of discontinued operations and $113,780 from loss on disposal of discontinued operations, respectively. (4) Certain items in prior years' financial data have been reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total net income. The results of operations relating to properties that were identified for sale as of December 31, 2001 but sold subsequently are reported as continuing operations. The results of operations relating to properties that were either identified for sale and disposed of subsequent to January 1, 2002 or were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2003 are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Item 8 hereof. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Partnership was organized on June 1, 1987, to acquire for cash, either directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed and existing restaurant Properties, as well as land upon which restaurant Properties were to be constructed, to be leased primarily to operators of Restaurant Chains. The leases generally are triple-net leases, with the lessees generally responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. The leases of the Properties provide for minimum base annual rental amounts (payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual base rent during the lease term. As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership owned 14 Properties directly and six Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy-in-common arrangements. As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership owned 15 Properties directly and six Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy-in-common arrangements. As of December 31, 2001, the Partnership owned 18 Properties directly and seven Properties indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements. Capital Resources Cash from operating activities was $1,175,884, $1,433,388, and $1,747,573, during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The decrease in cash from operating activities during 2003, and 2002, each as compared to the previous year, was the result of changes in the Partnership's working capital, such as the timing of transactions relating to the collection of receivables and the payment of expenses, and changes in income and expenses, such as changes in rental revenues resulting from the sale of Properties and changes in operating and Property related expenses. Other sources and uses of cash included the following during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. During 2001, the Partnership sold its Properties in Schererville, Indiana and Washington, Illinois and received net sales proceeds of approximately $1,336,700, resulting in a total gain of approximately $297,700. In connection with these sales, the Partnership received $60,000 from one of the former tenants in consideration of the Partnership releasing the tenant from its obligation under the terms of its lease. The Partnership distributed the net sales proceeds from these sales as special distributions to the Limited Partners, as described below. In January 2002, Titusville Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 73.40% interest, sold its Property, which had been vacant since 1997, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $165,600 resulting in a gain of approximately $4,900 to the joint venture. The Partnership and the joint venture partner dissolved the joint venture in accordance with the joint venture agreement and the Partnership received approximately $106,500 representing its pro rata share of the joint venture's liquidating distribution. No gain or loss was recorded relating to the dissolution of the joint venture. The Partnership distributed the liquidation proceeds as a special distribution to the Limited Partners, as described below. In addition, during 2002, the Partnership sold its Properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma, and Canton Township, Michigan, each to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $1,419,100, resulting in a net loss of approximately $167,100 during the year ended December 31, 2002. The Property in Montgomery, Alabama was identified for sale as of December 31, 2001 and the Properties in Altus, Oklahoma and Canton Township, Michigan were identified for sale during 2002. The net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Montgomery, Alabama included cash and $320,000 in the form of a promissory note. The promissory note bore interest at a rate of ten percent per annum. In August 2002, the Partnership received a balloon payment which included the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest. In addition, the net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Canton Township, Michigan included $640,000 in the form of a promissory note. This promissory note bore interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum. In December 2002, the Partnership negotiated for an early payoff at a reduced amount and received a balloon payment which included $606,800 of the outstanding principal balance. The Partnership wrote off the accrued interest of $16,800 and remaining principal balance of $33,200. The Partnership used the sales proceeds from these three sales to make a special distribution to the Limited Partners and to pay liabilities of the Partnership. In February 2003, the Partnership sold its Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $383,300, resulting in a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $2,200. The Partnership had recorded provisions for write-down of assets in previous years relating to this asset. The Partnership distributed the sales proceeds as a special distribution to the Limited Partners, as described below. In connection with the sales of the above Properties, the Partnership incurred deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees of $12,375, $45,300, and $40,928, during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Payment of the real estate disposition fees is subordinated to the receipt by the Limited Partners of their aggregate, cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital contributions. None of the Properties owned by the Partnership, or the joint ventures or tenancy in common arrangements in which the Partnership owns an interest, are or may be encumbered. Subject to certain restrictions on borrowings from the General Partners, however, the Partnership may borrow, at the discretion of the General Partners, for the purpose of maintaining the operations of the Partnership. The Partnership will not encumber any of the Properties in connection with any borrowings or advances. The Partnership also will not borrow under circumstances which would make the Limited Partners liable to creditors of the Partnership. Affiliates of the General Partners from time to time incur certain operating expenses on behalf of the Partnership for which the Partnership reimburses the affiliates without interest. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had $771,278 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $1,994,246 at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2003, these funds were held in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts at a commercial bank. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of the Partnership distributing to the Limited Partners, in the form of a special distribution as described below, sales proceeds that were held at December 31, 2002. The funds remaining at December 31, 2003, after the payment of distributions and other liabilities, will be used to meet the Partnership's working capital needs. Short-Term Liquidity The Partnership's short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the operating expenses of the Partnership. The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash and generally leasing them under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses. The General Partners believe that the leases will continue to generate net cash flow in excess of operating expenses. Due to low operating expenses and ongoing cash flow, the General Partners do not believe that working capital reserves are necessary at this time. In addition, because the leases for the Partnership's Properties are generally on a triple-net basis, it is not anticipated that a permanent reserve for maintenance and repairs will be established at this time. To the extent, however, that the Partnership has insufficient funds for such purposes, the General Partners will contribute to the Partnership an aggregate amount of up to one percent of the offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs. The General Partners have the right, but not the obligation, to make additional capital contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with the operations of the Partnership. The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations to the extent that the General Partners determine that such funds are available for distribution. Based primarily on current and anticipated future cash from operations and, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the liquidating distribution received from Titusville joint venture and a portion of the sales proceeds received from the sales of Properties, the Partnership declared distributions to the Limited Partners of $1,756,252, $3,082,500, and $2,400,000, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. This represents distributions of $35.13, $61.65, and $48.00, per Unit for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Distributions for 2003 included $350,000 in a special distribution as a result of the distribution of net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Distributions for 2002 included $1,600,000 in special distributions as a result of the distribution of net sales proceeds from the 2002 sales of the Properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma; and Canton Township, Michigan, the liquidating distribution received from Titusville Joint Venture, and the 2001 sale of the Property in Washington, Illinois. Distributions for 2001 included $650,000 as a result of the distribution of the net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Schererville, Indiana. These special distributions were effectively a return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although, in accordance with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited Partner's unpaid cumulative 10% Preferred Return. As a result of the sales of the Properties, the Partnership's total revenue was reduced and is expected to remain reduced in subsequent periods, while the majority of the Partnership's operating expenses remained and are expected to remain fixed. Due to the sales of Properties and current and anticipated future cash from operations, distributions of net cash flow were adjusted during 2003, 2002, and 2001. No amounts distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, or 2001, are required to be or have been treated by the Partnership as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the Limited Partners return on their adjusted capital contributions. The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis. During 2000, the General Partners waived their right to receive future distributions from the Partnership, including both distributions of operating cash flow and distributions of liquidation proceeds, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such distributions would exceed the balance in the General Partners' capital account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, the General Partners were not allocated any net income during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, or 2001. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership owed $8,094 and $10,652, respectively, to affiliates for operating expenses and accounting and administrative services. As of March 12, 2004, these amounts had been reimbursed to affiliates. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership incurred $12,375 and $45,300, respectively, in real estate disposition fees due to an affiliate as a result of services provided in connection with the sale of several Properties, as described above. The payment of such fees is deferred until the Limited Partners have received the sum of their cumulative 10% Preferred Return and their adjusted capital contributions. Other liabilities, including distributions payable, were $434,222 and $1,426,015 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease at December 31, 2003, as compared to December 31, 2002, was primarily a result of the Partnership paying the special distribution declared at December 31, 2002 during 2003. The General Partners believe that the Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs. Off-Balance Sheet Transactions The Partnership holds interests in various unconsolidated joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements that are accounted for using the equity method. The General Partners do not believe that any such interest would constitute an off-balance sheet arrangement requiring any additional disclosures under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities, and Commitments The Partnership has no contractual obligations, contingent liabilities, or commitments as of December 31, 2003. Long-Term Liquidity The Partnership has no long-term debt or other long-term liquidity requirements. Critical Accounting Policies The Partnership's leases are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" ("FAS 13"), and have been accounted for using either the direct financing or the operating methods. FAS 13 requires management to estimate the economic life of the leased property, the residual value of the leased property and the present value of minimum lease payments to be received from the tenant. In addition, management assumes that all payments to be received under its leases are collectible. Changes in management's estimates or assumption regarding collectibility of lease payments could result in a change in accounting for the lease. The Partnership accounts for its unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the equity method of accounting is appropriate for entities that are partially owned by the Partnership, but for which operations of the investee are shared with other partners. The Partnership's joint venture agreements require the consent of all partners on all key decisions affecting the operations of the underlying Property. Management reviews the Partnership's Properties and investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment at least once a year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the Property or investment at the date it is tested for recoverability compared to the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its operation and sale through the expected holding period. If an impairment is indicated, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Accordingly, when the Partnership makes the decision to sell or commits to a plan to sell a Property within one year, its operating results are reported as discontinued operations. Results of Operations Comparison of year ended December 31, 2003 to year ended December 31, 2002 Rental revenues from continuing operations were $1,030,610 during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $1,077,046 for the same period of 2002. Rental revenues from continuing operations were lower during 2003, as compared to 2002, due to the Partnership selling its Property in Montgomery, Alabama in May 2002. The tenant of this Property experienced financial difficulties during 2002. Rental revenues from continuing operations were also lower during 2003 due to the Partnership terminating the leases relating to the Properties in Hastings, Nebraska and Wichita, Kansas during 2002. Each lease was scheduled to expire in 2002. In connection with the terminated lease in Wichita, Kansas, the Partnership received approximately $8,000 in lease termination income in consideration for the Partnership releasing the tenant from its obligation under the lease. The Partnership re-leased both of these Properties during 2002, each to a new tenant with slightly lower rents. The Partnership also earned $175,424 in contingent rental income during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $171,047 during the same period of 2002. The Partnership also earned $211,613 attributable to net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $207,800 during the same period of 2002. Net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures remained constant during 2003, as compared to 2002, because there were no changes in the leased Properties owned by the joint ventures and the tenancies in common. During 2003, two lessees of the Partnership, Winston's GC No. 1, Inc., and IHOP Properties, Inc., each contributed more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues (including total rental revenues from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 2003, Winston's GC No. 1, Inc. was the lessee under a lease relating to one restaurant, and IHOP Properties Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to four restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments required by the leases, these two lessees will each continue to contribute more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues in 2004. In addition, five Restaurant Chains, IHOP, KFC, Golden Corral, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut each accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's total rental revenues during 2003 (including total rental revenues from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of total rental revenues from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). In 2004, it is anticipated that these five Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than 10% of total rental revenues to which the Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or any of these Restaurant Chains will materially affect the Partnership's operating results, if the Partnership is not able to re-lease these Properties in a timely manner. The Partnership earned $4,400 in interest and other income during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $18,916 during the same period of 2002. Interest and other income was higher during 2002 because the Partnership earned interest on a mortgage note receivable held in connection with the 2002 sale of the Property in Montgomery, Alabama. The mortgage note receivable was paid in full in August 2002. In addition, the Partnership distributed sales proceeds during 2002 that had been held in interest bearing bank accounts. Operating expenses, including depreciation expense, were $385,349 during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $439,066 during the same period of 2002. Operating expenses were lower during 2003, due to a decrease in the amount of state tax expense relating to several states in which the Partnership conducts business and a decrease in the costs incurred for administrative expenses for servicing the Partnership and its Properties. In addition, operating expenses were higher during 2002 because the Partnership incurred Property expenses such as legal fees, real estate taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance relating to the Property in Montgomery, Alabama. The tenant of this Property experienced financial difficulty during 2002. The Partnership sold this Property in May 2002. The Partnership did not incur Property expenses relating to this Property subsequent to its sale. As a result of the sale of the Property in Montgomery, Alabama, the Partnership recognized a loss on sale of assets of approximately $9,900 during the year ended December 31, 2002. Because this Property was identified for sale prior to the January 2002 implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the results of operations relating to this Property were included as Income from Continuing Operations in the accompanying financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership identified for sale three Properties that were classified as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership recognized a net rental loss (rental revenues less Property related expenses and provision for write-down of assets) of $622,909 during the year ended December 31, 2002, relating to these three Properties. The net rental loss was primarily a result of the Partnership recording provisions for write-down of assets. The Partnership recorded provisions for write-down of assets of approximately $567,600 and $79,700 relating to the Properties in Fayetteville, North Carolina and Altus, Oklahoma, respectively. The tenant of the Fayetteville Property filed for bankruptcy in January 2002 and rejected the lease related to this Property. The Partnership sold the Properties in Altus, Oklahoma and Canton Township, Michigan in September 2002 and recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $80,600 relating to the Property in Canton Township, Michigan. In December 2002, the Partnership recorded an additional loss of approximately $33,200 relating to this Property, as described above. In February 2003, the Partnership sold the Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and recorded a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $2,200. The Partnership had recorded provisions for write-down of assets in previous years relating to this Property. The Partnership recognized a net rental loss of $4,123 during the year ended December 31, 2003 relating to this Property. Comparison of year ended December 31, 2002 to year ended December 31, 2001 Rental revenues from continuing operations were $1,077,046 during the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $1,262,340 for the same period of 2001. Rental revenues from continuing operations were lower during 2002, as compared to 2001, because the Partnership sold several Properties during 2001 and 2002. Rental revenues are expected to remain at reduced amounts due to the fact that the Partnership used the majority of these net sales proceeds to pay liabilities of the Partnership and to make distributions to the Limited Partners. The Partnership also earned $171,047 in contingent rental income during the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $195,533 during the same period of 2001. The decrease in contingent rental income during 2002, as compared to 2001, was primarily due to a decrease in the reported gross sales of the restaurants with leases that require the payment of contingent rental income. In August 2002, the lease for the Property in Wichita, Kansas, which was scheduled to expire in November 2002, was terminated by the Partnership and the tenant. The Partnership re-leased this Property to a new tenant with terms substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases. In June 2001, the lease for the Property in Washington, Illinois, which was scheduled to expire in November 2002, was terminated by the Partnership and the tenant. The Partnership re-leased this Property to a new tenant with terms substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases. In addition, in September 2001, the Partnership sold its Property in Schererville, Indiana and released the tenant from further obligation under its lease. In connection with these transactions, during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership received approximately $8,000 and $80,000, respectively, in lease termination income, in consideration for the Partnership releasing the tenants from their obligations under each lease. The Partnership also earned $207,800 attributable to net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures during the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $139,219 during the same period of 2001. Net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures was lower during the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the same period of 2002 because during 2001, Titusville Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 73.4% interest, recorded a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $38,300. The Property owned by the joint venture became vacant during 1997. Titusville Joint Venture had previously recorded a provision for write-down of assets relating to this Property. The increase in the provision during 2001 represented the difference between the Property's net carrying value and its estimated fair value. In January 2002, Titusville Joint Venture sold its Property to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $165,600 resulting in a gain of approximately $4,900 to the joint venture. The Partnership and the joint venture partner dissolved the joint venture in accordance with the joint venture agreement. No gain or loss was recorded relating to the dissolution of the joint venture. The Partnership earned $18,916 in interest and other income during the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $23,642 during the same period of 2001. Operating expenses, including depreciation expense and provision for write-down of assets, were $439,066 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $1,006,751 for the same period of 2001. Operating expenses were higher during 2001, as compared to 2002, partially because the Partnership recorded a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $553,700 relating to the Property in Montgomery, Alabama during 2001. The tenant of this Property experienced financial difficulties. The provision represented the difference between the net carrying value of the Property at December 31, 2001 and its estimated fair value. In addition, the Partnership incurred property expenses such as insurance, repairs and maintenance, legal fees and real estate taxes relating to this Property. In May 2002, the Partnership sold this Property. Operating expenses were lower during 2002, as compared to 2001, because depreciation was lower as a result of the sale of several Properties during 2001 and 2002. The decrease in operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2002 was partially offset by an increase in the amount of state tax expense relating to certain states in which the Partnership conducts business. As a result of Property sales during 2002 and 2001 the Partnership recognized a loss on sale of assets of approximately $9,900 and a gain on sale of assets of approximately $297,700, during the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Because these Properties were identified for sale prior to the January 2002 implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the results of operations relating to these Properties were included as Income from Continuing Operations in the accompanying financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership identified for sale three Properties that were classified as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership recognized a net rental loss (rental revenues less Property related expenses and provision for write-down of assets) of $622,909 and $56,397 during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, relating to these three Properties. The net rental loss during 2002 and 2001 was primarily a result of the Partnership recording provisions for write-down of assets. The Partnership recorded provisions for write-down of assets of approximately $567,600 and $331,300 relating to the Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The tenant of the Fayetteville Property filed for bankruptcy in January 2002 and rejected the lease related to this Property. In addition, the net rental loss during 2002 was partially a result of the Partnership recording a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $79,700 relating to the Property in Altus, Oklahoma. The Partnership sold the Properties in Altus, Oklahoma and Canton Township, Michigan in September 2002 and recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $80,600 relating to the Property in Canton Township, Michigan. In December 2002, the Partnership recorded an additional loss of approximately $33,200 relating to this Property, as described above. In February 2003, the Partnership sold the Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, as described above. The General Partners continuously evaluate strategic alternatives for the Partnership, including alternatives to provide liquidity to the Limited Partners. The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 2003 are generally triple-net leases and, in general, contain provisions that the General Partners believe mitigate the adverse effect of inflation. Such provisions include clauses requiring the payment of percentage rent based on certain restaurant sales above a specified level and/or automatic increases in base rent at specified times during the term of the lease. Inflation, overall, has had a minimal effect on the results of operations of the Partnership. Continued inflation may cause capital appreciation of the Partnership's Properties. Inflation and changing prices, however, also may have an adverse impact on the sales of the restaurants and on potential capital appreciation of the Properties. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities, FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special effective date provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership did not fully or partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also, the Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to as special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is required in the Partnership's financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The General Partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either consolidation or additional disclosure requirements of the Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures, which are currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's results of operations. In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("FAS 150"). FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 will require issuers to classify certain financial instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) that previously were classified as equity. One requirement of FAS 150 is that minority interests for majority owned finite lived entities be classified as a liability and recorded at fair market value. FAS 150 initially applied immediately to all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Effective October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred implementation of FAS 150 as it applies to minority interests of finite lived Partnerships. The deferral of these provisions is expected to remain in effect while these interests are addressed in either Phase II of the FASB's Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASB's Business Combinations project; therefore, no specific timing for the implementation of these provisions has been stated. The implementation of the currently effective aspects of FAS 150 did not have an impact on the Partnership's results of operations. The implementation of the provisions of FAS 150 that have been deferred is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations. Item 7A.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 1. Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Florida limited partnership that was organized for the purpose of acquiring both newly constructed and existing restaurant properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants were to be constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of national and regional fast-food restaurant chains. The general partners of the Partnership are CNL Realty Corporation (the "Corporate General Partner"), James M. Seneff, Jr. and Robert A. Bourne. Mr. Seneff and Mr. Bourne are also 50% shareholders of the Corporate General Partner. The general partners have responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations of the Partnership. Real Estate and Lease Accounting - The Partnership records the acquisitions of real estate properties at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The real estate properties are leased to third parties on a triple-net basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, tenants paid, or are expected to pay, directly to real estate taxing authorities approximately $120,900, $120,600 and $139,800, respectively, in estimated real estate taxes in accordance with the terms of their leases. The leases of the Partnership provide for base minimum annual rental payments payable in monthly installments. In addition, certain leases provide for contingent rental revenues based on the tenants' gross sales in excess of a specified threshold. The Partnership defers recognition of the contingent rental revenues until the defined thresholds are met. The leases are accounted for using either the operating or the direct financing methods. Operating method - Leases accounted for using the operating method are recorded at cost, revenue is recognized as rentals are earned and depreciation is charged to operations as incurred. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 30 years. When scheduled rentals vary during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the lease term commencing on the date the property is placed in service. Direct financing method - Leases accounted for using the direct financing method are recorded at their net investment (which at the inception of the lease generally represents the cost of the asset). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Partnership's net investment in the leases. For the leases classified as direct financing leases, the building portions of the property leases are accounted for as direct financing leases while the land portion of these leases are operating leases. Accrued rental income represents the aggregate amount of income recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of scheduled rental payments to date. Substantially all leases are for 15 to 20 years and provide for minimum and contingent rentals. The lease options generally allow tenants to renew the leases for two to four successive five-year periods subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease. Most leases also allow the tenant to purchase the property at fair market value after a specified portion of the lease has elapsed. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued When the properties are sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation for operating leases and the net investment for direct financing leases, plus any accrued rental income, are removed from the accounts and gains or losses from sales are reflected in income. The general partners of the Partnership review properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through operations. The general partners determine whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including the residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the individual property. If an impairment is indicated, the assets are adjusted to their estimated fair value. When the collection of amounts recorded as rental or other income is considered to be doubtful, a provision is made to increase the allowance for doubtful accounts. If amounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, the corresponding receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are decreased accordingly. Investment in Joint Ventures - The Partnership accounts for its 69.07% interest in Tuscawilla Joint Venture using the consolidation method. Minority interest represents the minority joint venture partners' proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership's consolidated joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Partnership's investments in RTO Joint Venture, and a property in each of Englewood, Colorado, Miami, Florida, Overland Park, Kansas, and Baytown, Texas held as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the general partners, are accounted for using the equity method since each joint venture or tenancy in common agreement requires the consent of all partners on all key decisions affecting the operations of the underlying property. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at commercial banks. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Cash accounts maintained on behalf of the Partnership in demand deposits at commercial banks may exceed federally insured levels; however, the Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Income Taxes - Under Section 701 of the Internal Revenue Code, all income, expenses and tax credit items flow through to the partners for tax purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is provided in the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership is subject to certain state taxes on its income and property. Additionally, for tax purposes, syndication costs are included in Partnership equity and in the basis of each partner's investment. For financial reporting purposes, syndication costs represent a reduction of Partnership equity and a reduction in the basis of each partner's investment. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued Use of Estimates - The general partners of the Partnership have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts and future cash flows associated with long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassification - Certain items in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2003 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on partners' capital, net income or cash flows. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 - Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement requires that a long-lived asset be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The assessment is based on the carrying amount of the asset at the date it is tested for recoverability. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value. If an impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of a long-lived asset is its new cost basis. The statement also requires that the results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale be reported as a discontinued operation if the disposal activity was initiated subsequent to the adoption of the Standard. FASB Interpretation No. 46 - In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity in its financial statements. To improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities, FIN 46 requires that a variable interest entity be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), to clarify some of the provisions of FIN 46. Under FIN 46R, special effective date provisions apply to entities that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of FIN 46R. Otherwise, application of FIN 46R is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Partnership did not fully or partially apply FIN 46 prior to the issuance of FIN 46R. Also, the Partnership does not have interests in structures commonly referred to as special-purpose entities. Therefore, application of FIN 46R is required in the Partnership's financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The general partners believe adoption of this standard may result in either consolidation or additional disclosure requirements of the Partnership's unconsolidated joint ventures, which are currently accounted for under the equity method. However, such consolidation is not expected to significantly impact the Partnership's results of operations. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 - In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("FAS 150"). FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. FAS 150 will require issuers to classify certain financial instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) that previously were classified as equity. One requirement of FAS 150 is that minority interests for majority owned finite lived entities be classified as a liability and recorded at fair market value. FAS 150 initially applied immediately to all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Effective October 29, 2003, the FASB deferred implementation of FAS 150 as it applies to minority interests of finite lived Partnerships. The deferral of these provisions is expected to remain in effect while these interests are addressed in either Phase II of the FASB's Liabilities and Equity project or Phase II of the FASB's Business Combinations project; therefore, no specific timing for the implementation of these provisions has been stated. The implementation of the currently effective aspects of FAS 150 did not have an impact on the Partnership's results of operations. The implementation of the provisions of FAS 150 that have been deferred is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations. 2.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership recorded a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $244,700 relating to the property located in Montgomery, Alabama, the building portion of which was classified as a direct financing lease. The tenant of this property experienced financial difficulties and vacated the property. The provision represented the difference between the net carrying value of the property at December 31, 2001 and its estimated fair value. In May 2002, the Partnership sold this property to a third party for $400,000. The Partnership received net sales proceeds of approximately $398,300 (consisting of approximately $66,300 in cash and $320,000 in the form of a promissory note) resulting in a loss of approximately $9,900 during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Each property is held as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the general partners. In January 2002, Titusville Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owned a 73.4% interest, sold its property to a third party and received net sales proceeds of approximately $165,600, resulting in a gain of approximately $4,900 to the joint venture. The property had been vacant since 1997. The Partnership and the joint venture partner dissolved the joint venture and the Partnership received approximately $106,500 representing its pro rata share of the joint venture's liquidating distribution. No gain or loss was recorded relating to the dissolution of the joint venture. This property was identified for sale as of December 31, 2001. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD.

6. Allocations and Distributions From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, all net income and net losses of the Partnership, excluding gains and losses from the sale of properties, were allocated 99% to the limited partners and one percent to the general partners. From inception through December 31, 1999, distributions of net cash flow were made 99% to the limited partners and one percent to the general partners. However, the one percent of net cash flow distributed to the general partners was subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of an aggregate, 10%, noncumulative, noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital contributions (the "10% Preferred Return"). From inception through December 31, 1999, generally, net sales proceeds from the sale of properties not in liquidation of the Partnership, to the extent distributed, were distributed first to the limited partners in an amount sufficient to provide them with their cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus the return of their adjusted capital contributions. The general partners then received, to the extent previously subordinated and unpaid, a one percent interest in all prior distributions of net cash flow and a return of their capital contributions. Any remaining sales proceeds were distributed 95% to the limited partners and five percent to the general partners. Any gain from the sale of a property not in liquidation of the Partnership was, in general, allocated in the same manner as net sales proceeds are distributable. Any loss from the sale of a property was, in general, allocated first, on a pro rata basis, to partners with positive balances in their capital accounts; and thereafter, 95% to the limited partners and five percent to the general partners. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 6. Allocations and Distributions - Continued Generally, net sales proceeds from a liquidating sale of properties will be used in the following order: (i) first to pay and discharge all of the Partnership's liabilities to creditors, (ii) second, to establish reserves that may be deemed necessary for any anticipated or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership, (iii) third, to pay all of the Partnership's liabilities, if any, to the general and limited partners, (iv) fourth, after allocations of net income, gains and/or losses, to distribute to the partners with positive capital accounts balances, in proportion to such balances, up to amounts sufficient to reduce such positive balances to zero, and (v) thereafter, any funds remaining shall then be distributed 95% to the limited partners and five percent to the general partners. Effective January 1, 2000, the general partners waived their right to receive future distributions from the Partnership, including both distributions of operating cash flow and distributions of liquidation proceeds, to the extent that the cumulative amount of such distributions would exceed the balance in the general partners' capital account as of December 31, 1999. Accordingly, for years commencing January 1, 2000 and after, the Partnership's net income will be allocated entirely among the limited partners. However, if losses are allocated to the general partners in a year, an amount of income equal to the sum of such losses may be allocated to the general partner in succeeding years. Accordingly, the general partners were not allocated any net income during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Partnership declared distributions to the limited partners of $1,756,252, $3,082,500, and $2,400,000, respectively. Distributions for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, included $350,000, $1,600,000, and $650,000, respectively in special distributions, as a result of the distribution of the net sales proceeds from the 2003 sale of the property in Fayetteville, North Carolina and the 2002 sales of the properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma, and Canton Township, Michigan, the liquidating distribution received from Titusville Joint Venture, and the 2001 sales of the properties in Washington, Illinois and Schererville, Indiana. These amounts were applied toward the limited partners' cumulative 10% Preferred Return. No distributions have been made to the general partners to date. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD.

CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 8. Related Party Transactions One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of the principal shareholders of CNL Holdings, Inc. The other individual general partner, Robert A. Bourne, serves as President and Treasurer of CNL Financial Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Holdings, Inc. CNL APF Partners, LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. (formerly known as CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.), served as the Partnership's advisor until January 1, 2002, when it assigned its rights and obligations under a management agreement to RAI Restaurants, Inc. (the "Advisor"). The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc. ("CNL-RP"). The individual general partners are stockholders and directors of CNL-RP. The Advisor provides services pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership. In connection therewith, the Partnership has agreed to pay the Advisor an annual, noncumulative, subordinated management fee of one-half of one percent of the Partnership assets under management (valued at cost) annually. The property management fee is limited to one percent of the sum of gross operating revenues from joint ventures or competitive fees for comparable services. In addition, these fees are incurred and payable only after the limited partners receive their aggregate, noncumulative 10% Preferred Return. Due to the fact that these fees are noncumulative, if the limited partners do not receive their 10% Preferred Return in any particular year, no property management fees will be due or payable for such year. As a result of such threshold, no property management fees were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. The Advisor is also entitled to receive a deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fee, payable upon the sale of one or more properties, based on the lesser of one-half of a competitive real estate commission or three percent of the sales price if the Advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sales. However, if the net sales proceeds are reinvested in a replacement property, no such real estate disposition fees will be incurred until such replacement property is sold and the net sales proceeds are distributed. The payment of the real estate disposition fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of their aggregate, cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Partnership incurred $12,375, $45,300, and $40,928, respectively, in deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees as a result of the Partnership's sale of the property in Fayetteville, North Carolina; the properties in Montgomery, Alabama; Altus, Oklahoma; and Canton Township, Michigan; and the properties in Schererville, Indiana and Washington, Illinois, respectively. The Partnership's affiliates provided accounting and administrative services. The Partnership incurred $98,400, $133,609, and $130,412, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, for such services. CNL INCOME FUND III, LTD.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Continued Although the Partnership's properties are geographically diverse throughout the United States and the Partnership's lessees operate a variety of restaurant concepts, default by any one of these lessees or restaurant chains will significantly impact the Partnership's operating results if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the properties in a timely manner. 10.

The principal executive and financial officers of the corporate general partner have evaluated the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the General Partners, the officers of the corporate general partner, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Partnership's equity securities (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Partnership with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 that they file. Based solely on the General Partners' review of the copies of such forms the Partnership has received and written representations from certain Reporting Persons that they were not required to file Forms 5 for the last fiscal year, the General Partners believe that all Reporting Persons complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during fiscal 2003. Code of Business Conduct The Partnership does not have employees and, accordingly, has not adopted a code of business conduct applicable exclusively to the Partnership. However, employees of the General Partners or their affiliates, including the individual General Partners, are bound by the Code of Business Conduct adopted November 11, 2003 by CNL Holdings, Inc. Separately, the employees of the Advisor are bound by the similar Code of Business Conduct adopted by CNL Restaurant Properties, Inc.

Neither the General Partners, nor any of their affiliates, owns any interest in the Registrant, except as noted above. The Partnership does not have any equity compensation plans. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The table below summarizes the types, recipients, methods of computation and amounts of compensation, fees and distributions paid or payable by the Partnership to the General Partners and their affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2003, exclusive of any distributions to which the General Partners or their affiliates may be entitled by reason of their purchase and ownership of Units.
Type of Amount Incurred Compensation Method of For the Year and Recipient Computation Ended December 31, 2003 ------------- ----------- ----------------------- Reimbursement to affiliates for Operating expenses are reimbursed Accounting and administrative operating expenses at the lower of cost or 90% of the services: $98,400 prevailing rate at which comparable services could have been obtained in the same geographic area.

All of the leases are treated as operating leases for federal income tax purposes.

The Partnership recognized the impairment by recording a provision for write-down of assets of approximately $515,000 as of December 31, 2001. The provision represented the difference between the Property's net carrying value and its estimate fair value. The Partnership sold this Property in May 2002.
