PART I Item 1. Business: --------- Condev Land Fund III, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Florida limited partnership formed on February 15, 1989 under the Florida Revised Uniform Partnership Act. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring and holding for investment pre-development land in Central Florida. The Partnership registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and sold to investors a total of 9,784 units of limited partnership interest at an initial offering price of $250 per unit. The Partnership had collected $2,446,000 in Limited Partnership capital as of December 31, 1989. As provided under the terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership was to be in existence until December 31, 1996. In accordance with the Florida Limited Partnership Law and the Partnership Agreement, after December 31, 1996 the Partnership has been in liquidation with no change in the status of the limited partners or general partner. Since the Partnership is in liquidation, the primary objective of the Partnership is to sell properties at current market prices and distribute the net proceeds to partners. To this end, the General Partner is constantly monitoring area developments which are likely to effect the salability of each property. This includes area commercial and residential development, comparable sales transactions, road and highway improvements, requests for zoning or comprehensive land use changes, and changes in the availability of utilities. The General Partner or its representatives attend county commission meetings, planning and zoning hearings and community information meetings as part of this endeavor. Properties are priced after consideration is given to all of these factors. In addition to trying to sell the portfolio properties, the Partnership must manage the properties in the best interest of the partners. This includes traditional property maintenance such as insuring the property against liability, paying and appealing for adjustment, when appropriate, real estate taxes, mowing and trash removal. It also entails reacting promptly to area developments to insure that vested development rights are preserved or marketability of the property is enhanced. In some cases, it is necessary to retain consultants to assist with this effort. In other cases, expenditure of partnership reserves is required to keep the property properly positioned for sale. Properties are marketed through a combination of direct advertising, including "For Sale" signs located on each property, constant contact with the local, national and international brokerage communities, and direct contact with potential purchasers. Extensive marketing materials and relevant development information is maintained and constantly updated for use by potential buyers. The Partnership has no employees. Messrs. Robert N. Gardner and Joseph J. Gardner are the general partners of Condev Associates, a Florida general partnership, which is the General Partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"). Item 2. Properties: ---------- Since its inception, the Partnership has purchased two properties for investment in the Central Florida area. Part of one parcel was sold during 1994. There were no sales of land during 1995 and 1997, and another part of one property was sold during 1996. As of December 31, 1997, the partnership owned or had an investment in two properties. The following is a summary of all properties acquired by the Partnership: Parcel 1: -------- On May 31, 1991, Condev Osceola Joint Venture purchased two parcels of land aggregating 8.6 acres within the Kyng's Heath commercial subdivision on S.R. 535 near its intersection with Highway 192 in Osceola County, Florida. The property is zoned tourist-commercial in Osceola County, Florida. At the time of closing, the Partnership acquired a 90% interest in Condev Osceola Joint Venture. The purchase price of this property was $1,740,000 or $4.64 per square foot. 1 During the third quarter of 1994, an international investment group purchased four parcels of land totaling approximately 9.4 acres adjacent to this parcel. As part of this transaction, Condev Osceola Joint Venture sold a small corner of its adjoining property to this group to accommodate a realignment of a road serving both properties. The total purchase price for the 28,607 square feet sold was $175,000, or $6.12 per square foot. The Partnership's share of this sale was 90%, or $144,000. In November, 1994 a total of $44,028 was distributed to limited partners representing return of capital and profits on the sale of this parcel. The remaining proceeds were used to pay closing costs and to augment the Partnership's cash position. On August 28, 1996, Condev Osceola Joint Venture concluded the sale of a 5.08 acre part of this parcel. The purchase price was $1,250,000, or approximately $5.65 per square foot. The buyer made a cash payment at closing of $350,000 and issued its promissory note in the amount of $900,000 to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture retained a mortgage on the land until the note was repaid. After closing expenses and real estate commissions paid to outside brokers, the net cash received by the Joint Venture was $266,000. Of this amount, $225,032 was distributed to limited partners of Condev Land Fund III, Ltd., and $25,000 was distributed to limited partners in Condev Osceola, Ltd., the other 10% investor in the Joint Venture. The balance of $15,968 was retained in the Joint Venture to provide for future anticipated costs and expenses. Upon repayment of the $900,000 note on April 2, 1997, the Partnership received its share in the amount of $810,000 and distributed $799,940 to limited partners. The Joint Venture continues to own 2.94 acres of land in the Kyng's Heath subdivision. Date of Purchase: May 31, 1991 Purchase Price: $1,740,000 Additional Capitalized Costs: 30,697 Partnership interest (90%): $1,593,627 Less: Sale of .66 acres ( 61,497) ---------- $1,532,130 Less: Sale of 5.08 acres ( 832,507) ---------- $ 534,372
Parcel 2: -------- On August 6, 1993, the Partnership purchased a 10-acre parcel of commercially zoned land fronting on the east side of U.S. Highway 27 in Lake County, Florida, approximately 1.5 miles north of the U.S. 192 and U.S. 27 intersection. The southwest corridor of Orlando is an area that continues to experience rapid gain in employment, population and household growth and commercial development. Date of Purchase: August 6, 1993 Purchase Price: $ 400,000 Additional Capitalized Costs: 5,467
Based on developments in the immediate area of this property, it is clear that the Partnership will be in a better competitive position to sell the property if sewer and water service is available to the property limits. Accordingly, the General Partner has engaged an engineering firm to design and estimate the costs of extending such service to the property. Preliminary estimates have been completed, and the General Partner is now in the process of obtaining the necessary development permits. If all goes as scheduled, construction should begin in mid-1998 with completion anticipated by September. The costs of these improvements will be reimbursed to the Partnership by buyers of the property. Item 3. Legal Proceedings: ----------------- As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership was not subject to any pending legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders: --------------------------------------------------- No matter was submitted to Unit Holders for a vote during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 1997. 2 PART II Item 5. Markets for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder ------------------------------------------------------------------ Matters: ------- (a) There has not been a public secondary market and it is not anticipated that a public secondary market for the Units will develop. (b) As of December 31, 1997, there were approximately 350 holders of record of the Units of the Partnership. (c) There are no regularly scheduled distributions to limited partners. Distributions are made subsequent to sale of Partnership properties after provision has been made for adequate reserves to cover anticipated future expenses of the Partnership. Limited partners received cash distributions totaling $799,940, $225,032 and $-0- during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. Item 6. Selected Financial Data: -----------------------

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations: --------------------- January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997: During 1997, the Partnership continued to manage the portfolio properties and direct its efforts towards positioning the remaining two properties for sale. The areas in which the properties are located continue to mature, and sales prospects are encouraging at this time. On April 2, 1997, Condev Osceola Joint Venture received payment in full of the $900,000 principal plus accrued interest on the mortgage note taken in connection with the sale of part of its property in the Kyng's Heath subdivision. See Item 2, Properties. After expenses, which included a deferred 5% consulting fee paid to a non-affiliated real estate broker, the net cash received by the Joint Venture was $861,270. A total of $810,000 was distributed by the Joint Venture to the Partnership and $799,940 was distributed to limited partners in April 1997. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership had total revenue of $7,853, consisting primarily of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents during the year. This compares to total revenues of $56,995 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The 1996 figure includes $50,650 in net income from the Partnership's joint venture, Condev Osceola Joint Venture, the owner of parcel #2. See Item 2, Properties. There were no sales of property by either the Partnership or the Joint Venture during 1997. Operating expenses totaled $18,227 for 1997 compared to $18,519 for 1996. Most of these expenses relate to the management and administration of the Partnership. However, the equity in the loss of Condev Osceola Joint Venture was $31,507 for 1997. The reason for this loss was a consulting expense in the amount of $47,170 relating to the collection and subsequent payoff of a mortgage note held by the Joint Venture. This consulting expense was partially offset by interest income on the same mortgage note in the amount of $25,000. As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, Condev Osceola Joint Venture had a profit in 1996. 3 Total Assets at December 31, 1997 were $1,035,001 compared to $1,876,335 at December 31, 1996. This represents a decrease of $841,334, and was primarily caused by the distribution of $799,940 to limited partners following repayment of the mortgage note held by Condev Osceola Joint Venture, plus reported operating losses. Assets will continue to decline as properties are sold and the proceeds are distributed to limited partners. Liquidity remained at a satisfactory level. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997 stood at $90,357 as compared to $101,678 a year earlier. The business of the Partnership is to own, manage and sell, as market conditions permit, pre-development land in the central Florida area. Due to the nature of the commercial real estate market in the central Florida area, it is difficult to project when individual properties will sell or when the entire portfolio will be liquidated. Because of these uncertainties, the General Partner has established reserves to fund real estate taxes, costs associated with maintaining the properties and other required services such as partnership administration, accounting and legal. The reserve will be replenished from future land sales as needed. For 1998, the General Partner estimates that approximately $15,500 will be required to pay real estate taxes on the properties held by the Partnership and Condev Osceola Joint Venture. In addition, the General Partner estimates that property associated holding costs will total approximately $6,000 during 1998 and the costs of administration, legal and accounting will require approximately $9,000. These three categories of expense, totaling $30,500, will be paid from Partnership reserves which were $90,357 at 1997 year end. Should the Partnership not successfully conclude a property sale in 1998 and add to reserves, reserves would fall to approximately $60,000 by year end 1998. At the level of costs associated with the Partnership's business as set out above, the Partnership has reserves at year end 1997 to fund three years of costs. The General Partner estimates that no property will be sold in 1998, even though the areas in which the Partnership's properties are located continue to mature and develop. This is due to the long period of time necessary for buyers to perform due diligence under a new contract for sale and to obtain the necessary governmental development permits. If this estimation proves to be accurate, there will be no distributions to partners during 1998. The General Partner regards the present level of reserves adequate to fund future expenses. The General Partner expects to place part of one or both of the Partnership's properties under contract in 1998 which are estimated to close during 1999. It is estimated that it will require another two (2) years to complete the sale of properties held by the Partnership or by the joint venture in which the Partnership is a participant. January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996: The Partnership continued to manage the portfolio properties and to attempt to present the properties to potential purchasers. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership reported total revenue of $56,995. This included $50,650 equity in income of joint venture. This compares to total revenue of $7,457 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The 1996 equity income resulted from the sale of 5.08 acres by the Joint Venture. Refer to Item 2, Properties, Parcel 1 for details. The change in interest income reflects varying cash levels during the two years. Operating expenses totaled $18,519 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $16,904 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The 1996 figure does not include $1,124 in net expenses incurred in Condev Osceola Joint Venture because the joint venture reported a profit for the year. The profit relates to the sale of the part of Parcel 1 mentioned above and interest on the related purchase money mortgage. Total expenses for the Joint Venture, consisting primarily of real estate taxes were essentially unchanged from the previous year. The net profit reported for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $38,476, compared to a loss of $30,888 for the year ended December 31, 1995. At year-end 1996, total assets of the Partnership were $1,876,335, compared with $2,064,061 at year-end 1995. This decline reflects the property sale and related distribution to limited partners during 1996. The Partnership had no liabilities at December 31, 1996. Partners capital decreased from $2,062,891 at December 31, 1995 to $1,876,335 at December 31, 1996, again the result of Partnership profits offset by distributions to limited partners during the year. 4 January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995: The Partnership continued to manage the portfolio properties and to attempt to present the properties to potential purchasers. The areas where the Partnership's properties are located continue to mature through growth as well as area improvement, and it seems as though the properties are moving closer to the time when they will be attractive as development sites. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership reported total revenue of $7,457. This compares to total revenue of $76,218, including $70,647 recognized gain on the sale of land in the Joint Venture and $5,571 in interest and other income for the year ended December 31, 1994. There were no sales of land in 1995. Refer to Item 2, Properties, Parcel 1. The change in interest income reflects varying cash levels during the two years. Operating expenses totaled $16,904 for the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to $12,242 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The 1994 figure does not include $21,698 in expenses incurred in Condev Osceola Joint Venture, because the joint venture reported a profit for the year. The profit relates to the sale of the part of Parcel 1 mentioned above. Total expenses for the Joint Venture, consisting primarily of real estate taxes were essentially unchanged from the previous year. Of the other expenses, professional fees increased from $4,130 in 1994 to $8,170 in 1995 as a result of the final expenses of the planning and design effort required to conclude the sale of part of Parcel 1. The other expense categories remained essentially unchanged from the prior year. The net loss reported for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $30,888, compared to a profit of $63,976 for the year ended December 31, 1994. At year-end 1995, total assets of the Partnership were $2,064,061, compared with $2,093,779 at year-end 1994. This decline reflects the operating loss for 1995. The Partnership had total liabilities of $1,170 at December 31, 1995. This is an amount due to an affiliate of the general partner for expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership. There were no outstanding liabilities as of December 31, 1994. Partners' capital decreased from $2,093,779 at December 31, 1994 to $2,062,891 at December 31, 1994, again the result from Partnership losses of $30,888 for the year. 5 Item 8.

However, the Partnership's operations will continue until all investments of the Partnership are sold and proceeds distributed to the partners. Use of Estimates ---------------- In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Organization Costs ------------------ The Partnership has capitalized all organization costs. Upon sale of land, each parcel is allocated a portion of these costs based on the ratio of total acquisition cost to the net proceeds of the offering available to purchase properties for investment. The accompanying statements of operations include $-0-, $2,075, and $-0- of organization costs amortization for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, from sales of land by the joint venture in which the Partnership has an investment. There was no organization costs amortization in 1995 as no land sales occurred. For tax purposes, the Partnership is amortizing organization costs over five years. Land ---- Land, held for investment, is stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Land is assessed for impairment when the Partnership believes that events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Costs that clearly relate to land development projects are capitalized. Interest costs, real estate taxes and insurance are capitalized while development is in progress. When development is complete, these costs are expensed. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 12 CONDEV LAND FUND III, LTD. (A Florida Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1.

Accordingly, the Partnership received $810,000 from the joint venture, and $799,940 was distributed to limited partners in April. The balance was added to partnership reserves. As of December 31, 1997, the net asset value per unit of limited partner interest was $105.81.
