Accounting Policies Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in this report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of the general partners, Krupp Plus Corporation and Mortgage Services Partners Limited Partnership (collectively the "General Partners"), of Krupp Insured Plus-III Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. See Notes to Financial Statements included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for additional information relevant to significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership. In the opinion of the General Partners of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 2003, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the full year. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report. 2. PIMs At September 30, 2003, the Partnership's remaining PIM had a fair value of approximately $12,809,346. Fair value assumes that the GNMA MBS portion of the PIM could be sold at prices that MBS with similar interest rates are currently being sold at. Fair value does not include any value for the participation feature. The PIM matures in 2031 and at September 30, 2003 was not delinquent as to principal or interest. 3. MBS At September 30, 2003, the Partnership's MBS portfolio had an amortized cost of $1,356,760 and gross unrealized gains of $116,577. The portfolio has maturities ranging from 2016 to 2024. On April 10, 2003, the Partnership received a prepayment of the Signature Point insured mortgage for $7,863,532. The Partnership also received a prepayment premium of $235,918 from this payoff. On May 5, 2003, the Partnership paid a special distribution of $0.64 per Limited Partner interest from the proceeds received.

Changes in Partners' Equity A summary of changes in Partners' Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is as follows:

-7- Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Partnership's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this report on Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Partnership's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, federal, state or local regulations; adverse changes in general economic or local conditions; pre-payments of mortgages; failure of borrowers to pay participation interests due to poor operating results at properties underlying the mortgages; uninsured losses and potential conflicts of interest between the Partnership and its Affiliates, including the General Partners. Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2003, the Partnership had liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.3 million as well as the cash flow provided by its investments in the remaining PIM and MBS. The Partnership anticipates that these sources will be adequate to provide the Partnership with sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as well as to provide distributions to its investors. The most significant demand on the Partnership's liquidity is the quarterly distribution paid to investors of approximately $383,000. Funds for the quarterly distributions come from scheduled monthly principal and interest payments received on the remaining PIM and MBS, the principal prepayments of the MBS and interest earned on the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents. The portion of distributions attributable to the principal collections and cash reserves reduces the capital resources of the Partnership. As the capital resources decrease, the total cash flows to the Partnership will also decrease and over time will result in periodic adjustments to the distributions paid to investors. The General Partners periodically review the distribution rate to determine whether an adjustment is necessary based on projected future cash flows. In general, the General Partners try to set a distribution rate that provides for level quarterly distributions. To the extent that quarterly distributions do not fully utilize the cash available for distributions and cash balances increase, the General Partners may adjust the distribution rate or distribute such funds through a special distribution. Based on current projections, the General Partners have determined that the Partnership will continue to pay a distribution rate of $0.03 per Limited Partner interest per quarter for the near future. On April 10, 2003, the Partnership received a prepayment of the Signature Point insured mortgage for $7,863,532. The Partnership also received a prepayment premium of $235,918 from this payoff. On May 5, 2003, the Partnership paid a special distribution of $0.64 per Limited Partner interest from the proceeds received. In addition to providing insured and guaranteed monthly principal and basic interest payments from the GNMA MBS portion of the PIM, the Partnership's remaining PIM investment also may provide additional income through a participation interest in the underlying property. The Partnership may receive a share in any operating cash flow that exceeds debt service obligations and capital needs or a share in any appreciation in value when the property is sold or refinanced. However, this participation is neither guaranteed nor insured, and it is dependent upon whether property operations or its terminal value meet certain criteria. The Partnership's only remaining PIM investment is backed by the first mortgage loan on Harbor Club. Presently, the General Partners expect the property to be refinanced during late 2003 or early 2004. There are no contractual obligations remaining that would prevent a prepayment of the first mortgage loan. In response to more competitive market conditions brought on by low interest rates and low unemployment, which encourages more home ownership, Harbor Club began offering generous concessions to attract residents. Although physical occupancy is in the mid 90% range, the economic occupancy continues to hover in the mid 80% range as a result of the concessions. Due to the effect of the low occupancy on property operations and cash flow, the General Partners do not expect Harbor Club to pay the Partnership any participation interest during 2003. In the event that the Harbor Club PIM is paid off, the Partnership would then commence an orderly liquidation of the remaining assets of the Partnership and subsequently pay a liquidating distribution. In the event that the remaining PIM does not pay off as discussed above, the Partnership does have the option to call this PIM by accelerating its maturity. If the call feature is exercised then the insurance feature of the loan would be canceled. -8- Therefore, the Partnership will determine the merits of exercising the call option as economic conditions warrant. Such factors as the condition of the asset, local market conditions, the interest rate environment and availability of financing will affect this decision. Critical Accounting Policies The Partnership's critical accounting policies relate to revenue recognition related to the Partnership's remaining PIM investment, the amortization of Prepaid Fees and Expenses and the carrying value of the MBS. The Partnership's policies are as follows: The Partnership accounts for its MBS portion of its PIM investment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"), under the classification of held to maturity as this investment has a participation feature. As a result, the Partnership would not sell or otherwise dispose of the MBS. Accordingly, the Partnership has both the intention and ability to hold this investment to expected maturity. The Partnership carries this MBS at amortized cost. The Partnership, in accordance with FAS 115, classifies its MBS portfolio as available-for-sale. The Partnership classifies its MBS portfolio as available-for-sale as a portion of the MBS portfolio may remain after all of the PIMs pay off and that it will be necessary to then sell the remaining MBS portfolio at that time in order to close out the Partnership. In addition, other situations such as liquidity needs could arise which would necessitate the sale of a portion of the MBS portfolio. As such, the Partnership carries its MBS at fair market value and reflects any unrealized gains (losses) as a separate component of Partners' Equity. The Partnership amortizes purchase premiums or discounts over the life of the underlying mortgages using the effective interest method. The Partnership also held a Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") insured mortgage which was classified as an MBS. The Partnership held this loan at amortized cost and did not establish loan loss reserves on this investment as it was fully insured by the FHA. Basic interest on PIMs is recognized based on the stated coupon rate of the GNMA MBS. The Partnership recognizes interest related to the participation features when the amount becomes fixed and the transaction that gives rise to such amount is finalized, cash is received and all contingencies are resolved. This could be the sale or refinancing of the underlying real estate, which results in a cash payment to the Partnership or a cash payment made to the Partnership from surplus cash relative to the participation feature. Prepaid fees and expenses consisted of prepaid acquisition fees and expenses and prepaid participation servicing fees paid for the acquisition and servicing of PIMs. The Partnership amortized the prepaid acquisition fees and expenses using a method that approximated the effective interest method over a period of ten to twelve years, which represented the estimated life of the underlying mortgage. The Partnership amortized prepaid participation servicing fees using a method that approximated the effective interest method over a ten year period beginning at final endorsement of the GNMA loan and at closing if a Fannie Mae loan. Upon the repayment of a PIM, any unamortized acquisition fees and expenses and unamortized participation servicing fees related to such loan were expensed. Results of Operations Net income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period ending September 30, 2002 primarily due to a decrease in MBS interest income and other interest income. This decrease is partially offset by decreases in asset management fees and amortization expense. MBS interest income decreased due primarily to the payoff of the Signature Pointe MBS in April 2003. Other interest income decreased due to lower average cash balances available for short-term investing and lower interest rates earned on those balances in the three month period when compared to the same period in 2002. Asset management fees decreased due to the decline in the Partnership's asset base as a result of principal collections and prepayments. Amortization expense decreased due to the prepaid fees and expenses associated with the Harbor Club PIM being fully amortized as of the end of 2002. Net income decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period ending September 30, 2002 primarily due to decreases in participation interest, MBS interest income, and basic interest income on PIM's and an increase in expense reimbursement to affiliates. These are partially offset by decreases in amortization expense and asset management fees. Participation interest was greater in 2002 due to the collection of Shared Appreciation Interest and Minimum Additional interest from the Royal Palm Place PIM payoff in February 2002. MBS interest income decreased due to the prepayment of the Signature Pointe MBS in April 2003 and principal collections on the single family MBS. Basic interest income on PIM's decreased due to the Royal Palm Place PIM payoff mentioned above. Expense reimbursement to affiliates increased primarily due to a change in the estimated cost of services provided to the Partnership in 2002. Amortization expense decreased due to the prepaid fees and expenses associated with the Harbor Club PIM being fully amortized as of the end of 2002. Asset management fees decreased due to the decline in the Partnership's asset base as a result of principal collections and prepayments. -9- Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Assessment of Credit Risk The Partnership's investments in its MBS portion of its PIM and MBS are guaranteed and/or insured by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and therefore the certainty of their cash flows and the risk of material loss of the amounts invested depends on the creditworthiness of these entities. Fannie Mae is a federally chartered private corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs. FHLMC is a federally chartered corporation that guarantees obligations originated under its programs. These obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. However, Fannie Mae and FHLMC are two of the largest corporations in the United States, and both have significant experience in mortgage securitizations. In addition, their MBS carry the highest credit rating given to financial instruments. GNMA guarantees the full and timely payment of principal and basic interest on the securities it issues, which represents interest in pooled mortgages insured by HUD. Obligations insured by HUD, an agency of the U.S. Government, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. At September 30, 2003, the Partnership includes in cash and cash equivalents approximately $800,000 of commercial paper, which is issued by entities with a credit rating equal to one of the top two rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Interest Rate Risk The Partnership's primary market risk exposure is to interest rate risk, which can be defined as the exposure of the Partnership's net income, comprehensive income or financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. At September 30, 2003, the Partnership's remaining PIM and MBS comprise the majority of the Partnership's assets. Decreases in interest rates may accelerate the prepayment of the Partnership's investments. Increases in interest rates may decrease the proceeds from a sale of the MBS. The Partnership does not utilize any derivatives or other instruments to manage this risk as the Partnership plans to hold its PIM investment to expected maturity, while it is expected that substantially all of the MBS will prepay over the same period, thereby mitigating any potential interest rate risk to the disposition value of any remaining MBS The Partnership monitors prepayments and considers prepayment trends, as well as distribution requirements of the Partnership, when setting regular distribution policy. For MBS, the Partnership forecasts prepayments based on trends in similar securities as reported by statistical reporting entities such as Bloomberg. For its remaining PIM, the Partnership incorporates prepayment assumptions into planning as the property notifies the Partnership of the intent to prepay or as it matures. Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of Krupp Plus Corporation, a general partner of the Partnership, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Senior Vice President and the Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of their evaluation in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. (b) Changes in Internal Controls There were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation described in paragraph (a) above. -10- KRUPP INSURED PLUS-III LIMITED PARTNERSHIP PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ------------------- Item 1.
