Organization
------------

Realmark Property Investors Limited Partnership - III (the Partnership), a
Delaware limited partnership, was formed on November 18, 1983, to invest in a
diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate investments. The general
partners are Realmark Properties, Inc. (the corporate general partner) and
Joseph M. Jayson (the individual general partner). Joseph M. Jayson is the sole
shareholder of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc. Realmark Properties, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc. Under the partnership
agreement, the general partners and their affiliates can receive compensation
for services rendered and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the
Partnership.

Basis of Presentation
---------------------

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation, have been included. The Partnership's significant
accounting policies are set forth in its December 31, 2003 Form 10-K. The
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements included therein. The interim results should not be considered
indicative of the annual results.

Property and Equipment
----------------------

At March 31, 2004, the Partnership owned and operated two commercial buildings
(Perrymont and Inducon Amherst). Both of the properties are being actively
marketed for sale and, therefore, are not being depreciated. Depreciation not
                                        3
<PAGE>
recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately
$65,000. On March 23, 2004, the Partnership entered into a $2,450,000 sales
agreement with an unaffiliated entity for the sale of Perrymont. This sale, if
closed, will result in no gain to the Partnership.

Current Accounting Pronouncements
---------------------------------

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities." In December 2003, the FASB reissued FIN No. 46R with certain
modifications and clarifications. This pronouncement became effective for the
Partnership on March 31, 2004 and did not have any effect on its consolidated
financial statements.

Subsequent Event - Sale of Property
-----------------------------------

On April 5, 2004, the Partnership sold one of its remaining properties, Inducon
Amherst, to an unaffiliated entity for cash of $2,045,000, resulting in a net
gain of approximately $25,000. After satisfaction of the $1.7 million mortgage
loan on the property and payment of closing costs, the net cash proceeds
available amounted to approximately $363,000 before satisfaction of any
remaining obligations related to the property. The proceeds will be used to
satisfy remaining net liabilities.

PART I - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 -----------------------------------------------------------
                 and Results of Operations
                 -------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2001, management began formally marketing all remaining
properties in the Partnership for sale. The Partnership continued to experience
difficulties generating sufficient cash to cover its financial obligations. Cash
decreased approximately $8,000 during the first three months of 2004. The
Partnership made no distributions to limited partners in the first quarter of
2004. On April 5, 2004, the Partnership sold one of its properties (Inducon
Amherst). In accordance with the settlement of the lawsuit (Part II, Item 1), it
is anticipated that with the sale of the remaining property, the Partnership may
be in a position to make distributions to the limited partners.

Results of Operations
---------------------

As compared to the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership's loss decreased
approximately $45,000 from a loss of $86,000 in 2003 to a loss of $41,000 in
2004.

Rental income at Perrymont increased approximately $3,000 for the first quarter
while rental income at Inducon Amherst decreased $9,000 as a result of increased
vacancies. Other income increased approximately $5,000 due to an increase in
common area maintenance fees and forfeited security deposits.

Total expenses decreased approximately $46,000. Property operations decreased
approximately $20,000 due to decreases in cleaning, taxes, leasing and
contracted work at Perrymont. The decrease of approximately $11,000 in
administrative expense and reimbursement to affiliates was a result of a
decrease in management fees and portfolio reimbursed expenses. Other
administrative expense remained consistent. Interest expense decreased
                                        4

approximately $15,000 as a result of the scheduled amortization of the mortgage
and the assumption of accrued interest on the mortgage loan of Inducon Amherst
by an unaffiliated entity which purchased the property on April 5, 2004.

PART I - Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
                 ----------------------------------------------------------

The Partnership invests only in short term money market instruments, in amounts
in excess of daily working cash requirements. The rates of earnings on those
investments increase or decrease in line with the general movement of interest
rates. The mortgage loan on the Partnership's property is fixed rate and
therefore, is not subject to market risk.

PART I - Item 4. Controls and Procedures
                 -----------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Partnership's management, with the
participation of the Partnership's Individual General Partner and Principal
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the Partnership's
Individual General Partner and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that,
as of the end of such period, the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have been no significant
changes in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
