(See accompanying notes to financial statements) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations, its cash flows and partners' capital (deficit) for the interim periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's financial statements. NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS - ---------------------------------- New England Life Pension Properties III; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income producing real properties. It primarily serves as an investment for qualified pension and profit sharing plans and other entities intended to be exempt from federal income tax. The Partnership commenced operations in July, 1985 and acquired the three investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1988. The Partnership intends to dispose of its investments within twelve years of their acquisition, and then liquidate; however, the managing general partner could extend the investment period if it is in the best interest of the limited partners.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were made on July 24, 1997 in the aggregate amount of $461,621 ($6.68 per limited partnership unit). Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations - --------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership interest in December, 1985 and a total of 68,414 units were sold. The Partnership received proceeds of $61,950,285, net of selling commissions and other offering costs, which were invested in real estate, used to pay related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital reserves. The Partnership made nine real estate investments, six of which were sold prior to 1994. As a result of the sales, capital of $35,196,266 has been returned to the limited partners through June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had $2,471,387 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which $461,621 was used for operating cash distributions to partners on July 24, 1997; the remainder is being retained as working capital reserves. On October 24, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $519,946 ($7.60 per limited partnership unit) representing undistributed proceeds from the sales of various properties prior to 1994. The adjusted capital contribution after this distribution was $485.54 per unit. Also on October 24, 1996, the Partnership made a special operating cash distribution of $364,186 ($5.27 per limited partnership unit) attributable to a discretionary reduction of previously accumulated cash reserves. The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will primarily be cash generated by the Partnership's investments and proceeds from the sale of investments. Distributions of cash from operations for the first two quarters of 1997 and 1996 were made at the annualized rate of 5.5% on the adjusted capital contribution. The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements at June 30, 1997 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated cost of sale for properties held for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At June 30, 1997, the appraised value of each real estate investment exceeded its related carrying value; the aggregate excess was approximately $5,400,000. The current appraised value of real estate investments has been determined by the managing general partner and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers. Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace. Results of Operations - --------------------- Form of Real Estate Investments North Cabot Industrial Park is a wholly-owned property. Bayberry Apartments and 270 Technology Center are structured as joint ventures with real estate management/development firms. Operating Factors Occupancy at North Cabot Industrial Park remained at 100% during the second quarter of 1997. (Occupancy was 87% at June 30, 1996.) Occupancy at Bayberry Apartments increased to 96% during the second quarter. (Occupancy was 89% at December 31, 1996 and 95% at June 30, 1996.) Occupancy at 270 Technology Park declined to 82% during the second quarter of 1997 as a tenant representing 18% of the space vacated upon expiration of their lease on March 31, 1997. (Occupancy was 98% at June 30, 1996.) Investment Results Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by approximately $29,000, or 33%, between the first six months of 1996 and 1997, primarily due to lower invested balances as a result of additional distributions from reserves in October 1996, partially offset by higher short-term yields in 1997. Real estate operating results were $785,407 for the first six months of 1997 as compared to $802,281 for the comparable period of 1996. The decline is primarily due to reduced operating income at 270 Technology Park as a result of the occupancy decrease mentioned above. At North Cabot, higher revenue attributable to the increase in occupancy was partially offset by increased amortization expense, commencing in mid-1996, related to certain tenant improvements. In addition, there were tenant related write-offs and legal expenses of approximately $21,000 in 1996 at North Cabot. Cash from operations increased by approximately $80,000 between the two six-months periods while net income declined by $70,000 over the comparable period. The difference is primarily attributable to the funding of approximately $86,000 of tenant improvements at North Cabot in early 1996 which were accrued in 1995, along with an increase in Partnership operating liabilities. Portfolio Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees. These expenses increased by approximately $26,000 or 23%, between the first six months of 1996 and 1997 primarily due to an increase in accounting fees. The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as determined by the managing general partner. Management fees decreased slightly between the two six month periods consistent with the decrease in distributable cash flow.
