4 PRUTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP III (a limited partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1998 (unaudited) A. General These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of PruTech Research and Development Partnership III (the 'Partnership') as of June 30, 1998, the results of its operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. However, the operating results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1997. Certain balances from the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation. Effective January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, 'Reporting Comprehensive Income.' This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components within financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income as well as certain revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from net income under generally accepted accounting principles ('other comprehensive income'). During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership's only source of other comprehensive income is an unrealized holding loss, net of a reclassification adjustment, on its investments in marketable equity securities, which is included in the statement of changes in partners' capital and is more fully described in Note C. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 has had no impact on earnings or total partners' capital. B. Royalties At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Partnership retains certain royalty rights with Forest Laboratories, Inc. ('Forest') and Creative BioMolecules, Inc. whose carrying values for financial reporting purposes are zero. The royalty rights with Forest relate to Synapton, a drug developed by Forest for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Forest filed a new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration, seeking approval of Synapton, on November 18, 1997. The Partnership's royalty rights with Forest and Creative BioMolecules, Inc. will expire in December 1999. C. Investments Investments in marketable equity securities available-for-sale include the following:

If upon the sale of the Partnership's investments, the gross unrealized gain were to be realized, such gain would be allocated 90% to the Unitholders and 10% to R&D Funding Corp (the 'General Partner'); 5 however, there is no assurance that the Partnership would receive such amount in the event of the sale of its remaining equity position. During the second quarter of 1998, the Partnership sold 13,310 shares of Kopin Corporation common stock and 17,465 shares of Cell Genesys Corporation common stock for proceeds of approximately $286,000 and $151,000 resulting in gains of approximately $186,000 and $60,000, respectively. These sales liquidated the Partnerships' remaining holdings of Kopin Corporation common stock and Cell Genesys Corporation common stock. The Partnership's net unrealized losses on investments in equity securities of $244,677 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 are comprised as follows: Unrealized holding gains $ 1,827 Less: reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in net income (246,504) --------- Net unrealized losses on investments in equity securities $(244,677) --------- --------- D. Related Parties The General Partner and its affiliates perform certain services for the Partnership (for which they are reimbursed through the management fee) which include, but are not limited to: accounting and financial management; registrar, transfer and assignment functions; asset management; investor communications and other administrative services. The Partnership also reimburses an affiliate of the General Partner for printing services. The management fee and printing costs were:

Printing costs payable to an affiliate of the General Partner (which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities) as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 were $4,749 and $7,788, respectively. Prudential Securities Incorporated ('PSI'), an affiliate of the General Partner, owned 724 units in the Partnership at June 30, 1998. The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Institutional Liquidity Portfolio Fund, an affiliate of the General Partner, for investment of its available cash in short-term instruments pursuant to the guidelines established by the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership engaged in research and development co-investment projects with PruTech Research and Development Partnership which was dissolved and liquidated in December 1996, PruTech Research and Development Partnership II and PruTech Project Development Partnership (collectively, the 'PruTech R&D Partnerships'), for which R&D Funding Corp serves as the general partner. The allocation of the co-investment projects' profits or losses among the PruTech R&D Partnerships is consistent with the costs incurred to fund the research and development projects. E. Contingencies On April 15, 1994, a multiparty petition captioned Mack et al. v. Prudential Securities Incorporated et al. (Cause No. 94-17695) was filed in the 80th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, purportedly on behalf of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, the General Partner, PSI, The Prudential Insurance Company of America and a number of other defendants. The petition alleges common law fraud and fraud in the inducement and negligent misrepresentation in connection with the offering of the Partnership; negligence and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the operation of the Partnership; civil conspiracy; and violations of the federal Securities Act of 1933 (sections 11 and 12) and of the Texas 6 Securities and Deceptive Trade Practices statutes. The suit seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages, costs and attorneys' fees. The General Partner, PSI and the Partnership believe they have meritorious defenses to the complaint and are vigorously defending themselves in this action. The claims of most plaintiffs have been settled or dismissed. It is currently expected that the remaining claims will be resolved shortly. The Partnership has not contributed to any settlement or paid any costs of the litigation, nor is it anticipated that it will. 7 PRUTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP III (a limited partnership) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $1,283,000 of cash and cash equivalents, which is a decrease of approximately $2,386,000 as compared to December 31, 1997. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to distributions made in excess of proceeds from the sales of certain investments in equity securities as further discussed below. As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $80,000 invested in the common stock of Creative BioMolecules, Inc. ('Creative') with an aggregate market value of approximately $118,000. This investment is a speculative and high risk equity investment. Additionally, the realization of the market value of Creative common stock is further impacted by market volume capacity. The Partnership's royalty positions with Forest and Creative did not generate income for the Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. The amount to be distributed by the Partnership in future quarters will be based on the extent to which the market value of its investment can be realized and from the revenue stream from royalties and interest income. It is not expected that the Partnership's eventual total distributions will equal the Unitholders initial investments. During May 1998, the Partnership made a $2,728,933 distribution. Unitholders received 90% of the total or $2,456,040 ($60 per unit) on this distribution and the General Partner received the 10% remainder. During the second quarter of 1998, the Partnership sold its remaining 13,310 shares of Kopin Corporation common stock for approximately $286,000 and its remaining 17,465 shares of Cell Genesys Corporation common stock for approximately $151,000. Results of Operations The Partnership's net income decreased by approximately $4,823,000 and $812,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997. These decreases were primarily due to larger gains on the sale of investments in equity securities recorded in 1997 versus 1998, offset, in part, by a first quarter 1997 write-down of the Partnership's equity investment in Somatix Therapy Corporation and higher management fees in 1997 versus 1998 as discussed below. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, gains totalling approximately $247,000 were recorded on the sale of common stock of Kopin Corporation and Cell Genesys Corporation as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources above as compared to gains of approximately $5,686,000 recorded on 1997 sales of 441,898 shares of Creative common stock, 392,463 shares of Kopin Corporation common stock and 211,000 shares of Somatix Therapy Corporation common stock. Interest income increased by approximately $29,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998, but decreased by approximately $1,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997. During the 1998 and 1997 periods, Partnership funds invested in short-term instruments varied with the timing of sales of investments in equity securities and distributions made to Unitholders causing the fluctuations in interest income during the respective periods. Management fees decreased by approximately $284,000 and $142,000 during the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997. Effective July 1, 1997, the General Partner reduced its management fee to the greater of (a) $250,000 annually or (b) ten percent of the aggregate amount received from the Partnership's royalty position in a treatment for Alzheimer's disease with Forest after July 1, 1997 until the dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership, not to exceed the aggregate management fee payable under the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended ($818,680 per annum.) General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $9,000 and $8,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997. These decreases reflect lower costs incurred in monitoring the Partnership's investments. 8 At March 31, 1997, the General Partner concluded that an impairment in value that was not temporary had occurred for the Partnership's equity investment in Somatix Therapy Corporation. As a result, the value of the Partnership's common stock was written down by $295,000. 9 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
