See notes to consolidated financial statements 5 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION ------------ Shelbourne Properties III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), was formed on April 17, 2001. The Corporation's wholly-owned operating partnership, Shelbourne Properties III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership", and together with the Corporation, the "Company"), holds directly and indirectly all of the Company's properties. Pursuant to a merger that was consummated on April 17, 2001, the Operating Partnership became the successor by merger to Integrated Resources High Equity Partners L.P. - Series 88 (the "Predecessor Partnership"). In August 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation") and directed that the Plan of Liquidation be submitted to the Corporation's stockholders for approval. The stockholders of the Corporation approved the Plan of Liquidation at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 29, 2002. The Plan of Liquidation contemplates the orderly sale of all of the Corporation's assets for cash or such other form of consideration as may be conveniently distributed to the Corporation's stockholders and the payment of (or provision for) the Corporation's liabilities and expenses, as well as the establishment of a reserve to fund the Corporation's contingent liabilities. The Plan of Liquidation gives the Corporation's Board of Directors the power to sell any and all of the assets of the Corporation without further approval by the stockholders. The Corporation currently expects that the liquidation will be substantially completed not later than October 29, 2004, although there can be no assurance in this regard. As a result, it is currently anticipated that not later than October 29, 2004, any then remaining assets and liabilities will be transferred to a liquidating trust. With the transfer to a liquidating trust, the liquidation will be completed for federal and state income tax purposes, although one or more distributions of the remaining cash and net proceeds from future asset sales may occur subsequent to the establishment of a liquidating trust. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- As a result of the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation and its approval by the Corporation's stockholders, the Corporation adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for the period subsequent to October 29, 2002. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value. Liabilities including the reserves for estimated costs during the period of liquidation are stated at their anticipated settlement amounts. The valuation of investments in joint ventures and real estate held for sale is based upon current contracts, estimates as determined by independent appraisals or other indications of sales values. The valuations for other assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting are based on management's estimates as of June 30, 2003. The actual values realized for assets and settlement of liabilities may differ materially from the amounts estimated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership and Shelbourne Properties III GP Inc., the general partner of the Operating Partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ADJUSTMENTS TO LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING ---------------------------------------------- On October 30, 2002, in accordance with the liquidation basis of accounting, assets were adjusted to estimated net realizable value and liabilities were adjusted to estimated settlement amounts, including estimated costs associated with carrying out the liquidation. As a result of the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza (note 4), Melrose Crossing II (note 4), Hilliard, Ohio (note 5), 568 Broadway (note 5), Indiana Market Place in Indianapolis, Indiana (note 5) and Grove City, Ohio (note 5), the valuation of investments in joint ventures and real estate held for sale have been updated to reflect the remaining estimated costs of carrying out the liquidation as of June 30, 2003. Further 6 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------------------ adjustments were included in the June 30, 2003 Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The valuation is based on current contracts, estimates as determined by independent appraisals or other indications of sales value, net of estimated selling costs and capital expenditures anticipated during the liquidation period. The valuations of other assets and liabilities are based on management's estimates as of June 30, 2003. The actual values realized for assets and settlement of liabilities may differ materially from amounts estimated. Adjusting assets to estimated net realizable value resulted in the write-up in the value of certain real estate properties. The anticipated gains, net of any incentive fees associated with the adjustment in value of these real estate properties, have been deferred until such time as a sale occurs. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Corporation recognized actual gains of $4,618,972 on the sale of real estate and $14,592,455 included in equity income from joint ventures attributable to real estate sales, and as a result of those sales reduced the deferred gains by $19,278,483. During the three months ended June 30, 2003 the Corporation recognized actual gains of $26,561 included in equity income from joint ventures attributable to real estate sales. RESERVE FOR ESTIMATED COSTS DURING THE PERIOD OF LIQUIDATION ------------------------------------------------------------ Under liquidation accounting, the Corporation is required to estimate and accrue the costs associated with executing the Plan of Liquidation. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and realized proceeds from property sales, the costs of retaining agents and trustees to oversee the liquidation, the costs of insurance, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities and the costs associated with cessation of the Company's operations. These costs are estimates and are expected to be paid out over the liquidation period. Such costs do not include costs incurred in connection with ordinary operations. The reserve for additional costs associated with liquidation was reduced from $1,500,000 at December 31, 2002 to $1,105,212 at June 30, 2003 as a result of professional costs associated with obtaining the Fleet Loan of $378,122 and tax planning costs of $16,666 paid to an affiliate of Presidio Capital Investment Company, LLC in connection with the Accotel transaction (see note 10). USE OF ESTIMATES ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS ---------------- The Corporation considers all short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ------------------- Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $141,673 and $19,170 as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. 7 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------------------ REVENUE RECOGNITION ------------------- Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, base rents were recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the amount of the previously deferred straight-line rent was grouped with real estate for purposes of comparing such balances to their net realizable value and, if such amounts when aggregated with real estate exceeded the net realizable value, the amount of the excess was included in the write-off of other assets as part of the adjustment to the liquidation basis of accounting. At October 29, 2002, the date prior to the adoption of liquidation accounting, approximately $356,513 of deferred straight-line rent was included in other assets that was subsequently grouped with real estate with no write-off required. Percentage rents charged to retail tenants based on sales volume are recognized when earned. Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," and the Emerging Issues Task Force's Consensus on Issue 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods," the Corporation defers recognition of contingent rental income (i.e., percentage/excess rent) in interim periods until the specified target (i.e., breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES ----------------------------- Certain properties are or were owned in joint ventures with Shelbourne Properties I L.P. and/or Shelbourne Properties II L.P. Accordingly, the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 and the Corporation's consolidated statements of operations commencing January 1, 2002, reflect the equity method of accounting. Subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the valuations of investments in joint ventures were adjusted to net realizable value. REAL ESTATE ----------- Subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, real estate assets were adjusted to their net realizable value and classified as real estate held for sale. Additionally, the Corporation suspended recording any further depreciation expense. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION ----------------------------- Upon the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, deferred loan fees of $614,178 were written off to reflect the balances at their net realizable value. Direct lease costs associated with the real estate were grouped with real estate for purposes of comparing carrying amounts to their net realizable value, and if such amounts, when aggregated with real estate exceeded the net realizable value, these costs were written off. Prior to the Corporation adopting the liquidation basis of accounting, depreciation was computed using the straight-line method over the useful life of the property, which was estimated to be 40 years. The cost of properties represented the initial cost of the properties to the Company plus acquisition and closing costs less impairment adjustments. Tenant improvements, leasing costs and deferred loan fees were amortized over the applicable lease term. 8 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------------------ FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS --------------------- The carrying values reflected in the consolidated statements of net assets at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, other assets, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and note payable. Additionally, as the Corporation currently expects that the liquidation will be substantially completed not later than October 2004, the net realizable value of notes payable approximates their fair value. In making such assessments, the Corporation has utilized discounted cash flow analyses, estimates, and quoted market prices as deemed appropriate. INCOME TAXES ------------ The Corporation is operating with the intention of qualifying as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which pays at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income as a dividend to its stockholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its stockholders. For federal income tax purposes, the cash dividends paid to stockholders after October 29, 2002 have been and will be characterized as liquidating distributions. AMOUNTS PER SHARE ----------------- Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed based on weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. There are no potentially dilutive securities outstanding, so basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented. DIVIDENDS PER SHARE ------------------- On January 13, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $2.50 per share. The dividend was paid on January 31, 2003 to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 23, 2003. On February 28, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $36.00 per share. The dividend was paid on March 18, 2003 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2003. The dividend was funded from proceeds of the Fleet Loan (see note 7) and from proceeds generated by the sales of the New York, New York property and the Melrose Park, Illinois property, as well as cash reserves. On June 19, 2003 the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $1.90 per share. The dividend was paid on July 9, 2003 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2003. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ------------------------------------ In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections," which updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. This statement had no effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. 9 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------------------ In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is effective prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. This statement had no effect on the Corporation's financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantors' Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. This Interpretation does not prescribe a specific approach for subsequently measuring the guarantor's recognized liability over the term of the related guarantee. The disclosure provisions of this Interpretation were effective for the Corporation's December 31, 2002 financial statements. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. This Interpretation had no effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This Interpretation clarifies the application of existing accounting pronouncements to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of the Interpretation will be immediately effective for all variable interest in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and the Corporation will need to apply its provisions to any existing variable interest in variable interest entities on July 1, 2003. The Corporation does not expect that this will have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Corporation does not expect that this statement will have an impact on the Corporation's financial statements During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, property management services (the "Property Management Services") and asset management services, investor relation services and accounting services (the "Asset Management Services") have been provided to the Company by affiliates of the Company. ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES ------------------------- For the period from January 1, 2002 through February 14, 2002, Shelbourne Management LLC ("Shelbourne Management"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Presidio Capital Investment Company, LLC ("PCIC"), provided Asset Management Services to the Company pursuant to the terms of an Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Corporation, the Operating Partnership and Shelbourne Management. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Corporation was obligated to pay for Asset Management Services an annual asset management fee, payable quarterly, equal to 1.25% of the gross asset value of the Corporation as of the last day of each year. In addition, the Corporation was obligated to (i) pay $200,000 for non-accountable expenses and (ii) reimburse Shelbourne Management for expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its services. Effective February 14, 2002, in connection with the Transaction (as described below), PCIC began providing such 10 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- services for a reduced fee of $333,333 per annum (the "Transition Management Fee"). Both Shelbourne Management and PCIC were affiliates of the then management of the Corporation. Effective October 1, 2002, as contemplated by the Plan of Liquidation, the agreement with PCIC was terminated and Kestrel Management, L.P. ("Kestrel") began providing the Asset Management Services for a fee of $200,000 per annum. Kestrel is an affiliate of the Corporation's current Chief Executive Officer. Asset Management Services were provided to the Corporation during the three months ended June 30, 2003 by Kestrel and during the three months ended June 30, 2002 by PCIC as described above. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES ---------------------------- The Operating Partnership has contracted with affiliates to provide property management services pursuant to agreements that provide for a fee of up to 6% of property revenue. Kestrel provided property management services during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The following table summarizes the amounts paid to affiliates for expense reimbursements, asset management fee, transition management fee and property management fees for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

(1) The asset management fees were modified in connection with the Transaction to eliminate expense reimbursement. 11 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 3. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION OF DIVIDENDS BY THE CORPORATION ------------------------------------------ Dividends payable to HX Investors, L.P. ("HX Investors"), an affiliate of the current Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 on account of shares of common stock owned by HX Investors were $13,270,754 and $0, respectively. No dividends were paid during six months ended June 30, 2002. In addition, in connection with the settlement of the lawsuit brought by HX Investors, Shelbourne Management agreed to pay to HX Investors approximately 42% of the amounts paid to Shelbourne Management with respect to the Class A units. Distributions paid to Shelbourne Management on account of its Class A units for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $16,898. THE TRANSACTION --------------- On February 14, 2002, the Corporation, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. consummated a transaction (the "Transaction") whereby the Corporation purchased the 385,226 shares of the Corporation's common stock held by subsidiaries of PCIC and the Advisory Agreement was contributed to the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the Transaction, the Corporation paid PCIC $11,830,337 in cash and the Operating Partnership issued preferred partnership interests with an aggregate liquidation preference of $672,178 and a note in the amount of $14,589,936. This note was satisfied in April 2002 from the proceeds of the Credit Facility (see note 6). The liquidation preference was eliminated on January 15, 2003, in connection with the Accotel Transaction (see note 10 below). 4. REAL ESTATE ----------- The following table is a summary of the Corporation's real estate as of: JUNE 30, 2003 DECEMBER 31, 2002 LIQUIDATION BASIS LIQUIDATION BASIS ----------------- ----------------- Real estate held for sale $ 16,448,903 $ 31,146,000 ================= ================= On January 29, 2003, Livonia Shopping Plaza located in Livonia, Michigan was sold for a gross sales price of $12,969,000. The Corporation received net proceeds in the amount of approximately $7,865,000 after mortgage repayment, closing adjustments and closing costs. The Corporation recognized an accounting gain of $4,481,423. On February 28, 2003, the Corporation sold its property located in Melrose Park, Illinois for a gross purchase price of $2,164,800. The Corporation received proceeds of $1,970,000 after closing costs and adjustments. The Corporation recognized an accounting gain of $137,549. 5. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES ---------------------------- On October 30, 2002, the Corporation adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. Subsequent to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, the investments in joint ventures were adjusted to their net realizable value based on current contracts, estimates as determined by independent appraisals or other indications of sales value, with the unrealized gain deferred until an actual sale occurs. 12 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 5. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED) ---------------------------------------- At January 1, 2003 the Corporation was invested in three joint ventures, (568 Broadway, Supervalu, and Tri-Columbus). As of June 30, 2003 the Corporation was invested in one joint venture (Tri- Columbus). The joint venture is accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. On January 14, 2002, one of the Corporation's joint ventures sold a supermarket in Edina, Minnesota for $3,500,000 that resulted in a gain on sale to the Corporation of $649,092. On January 30, 2002, the same joint venture sold a supermarket in Toledo, OH for $3,600,000 that resulted in a net loss to the Corporation of $186,380. These amounts are included in the Corporation's equity earnings from joint ventures. On January 31, 2003, the Hilliard, Ohio property, which was owned by Tri-Columbus Associates, in which the Corporation holds a 79.34% interest, was sold for a gross sales price of $4,600,000. After satisfying the debt encumbering the property, closing adjustments and other closing costs, net proceeds were approximately $2,063,000, $1,636,784 of which is attributable to the Corporation's interest. The joint venture recognized no gain or loss on the sale as the joint venture's property was previously written down to its net realizable value. On February 28, 2003, 568 Broadway Joint Venture, a joint venture in which the Corporation indirectly holds a 22.15% interest, sold its property located at 568 Broadway, New York, New York for a gross sale price of $87,500,000. After assumption of the debt encumbering the property ($10,000,000), closing adjustments and other closing costs, net proceeds were approximately $73,000,000, approximately $16,169,500 of which was allocated to the Operating Partnership. The joint venture recognized an accounting gain of $67,746,480 of which $14,565,894 was attributable to the Corporation and is reported as equity income from joint ventures. On May 8, 2003, Indiana Market Ltd., a joint venture in which the Corporation holds a 50% interest, consummated the sale of its shopping center property located in Indianapolis, Indiana commonly referred to as Indiana Market Place for a purchase price of $700,000. After closing costs and adjustments, net proceeds were $600,210 of which $300,105 is allocable to the Corporation. The Corporation recognized an accounting gain of $26,651 which is included in income from joint ventures. On June 18, 2003, the Grove City, Ohio property which was owned by Tri-Columbus Associates, in which the Corporation holds a 79.34% interest, was sold for a gross sales price of $4,090,000. The Fleet Loan encumbering the property (see note 7) required a principal payment equal to the greater of $3,300,000 or 90% of the net proceeds. After closing adjustments and costs, net proceeds were $3,938,286. As a result, the required principal payment was $3,544,457 of which the Corporation was allocated $2,812,172. The remaining proceeds after the principal payment were $393,829 of which the Corporation was allocated $312,464 The joint venture recognized no gain or loss on the sale as the joint venture's property was written down to its net realizable value. 6. CREDIT FACILITY --------------- On May 1, 2002, the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries, as well as the operating partnership of Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and the operating partnership of Shelbourne Properties II, Inc., and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a $75,000,000 revolving credit facility with Bayerische Hypo-Und Vereinsbank AG, New York Branch, as agent for itself and other lenders (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility was subsequently satisfied on February 20, 2003 (See note 7). 13 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 7. FLEET LOAN ---------- On February 20, 2003, in a transaction designed to provide flexibility to the Corporation, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc., (collectively, the "Companies") and their respective operating partnerships (the "Shelbourne OPs")in implementing their respective plans of liquidation and to enable them to distribute 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the New York, New York property, direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") of each of the Companies entered into a Loan Agreement with Fleet National Bank, as agent for itself and other lenders ("Fleet") pursuant to which the Borrowers obtained a $55,000,000 loan (the "Loan"). The Companies believed that by entering into a single loan transaction instead of three separate loan transactions they were able to obtain a larger loan at a more favorable interest rate. The Loan bears interest at the election of the Borrowers at a rate of either LIBOR plus 2.75% (4.03125% at June 30, 2003) or Fleet's prime rate (but not less than 5%) plus 100 basis points. At present the Borrowers have elected that the Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Loan matures on February 19, 2006, subject to two one year extensions. The Loan is prepayable in whole or in part at anytime without penalty or premium. At June 30, 2003, the Loan was secured by mortgages on the Company's Las Vegas, Nevada property and the property held by Tri-Columbus Associates, as well as certain other properties owned indirectly by Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. The Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the amounts due under the Loan and the Operating Partnership and the Corporation (as well as the other operating partnerships and Companies) have guaranteed the repayment of the Loan. A portion of the Loan proceeds, as well as the balance of a note in the amount of $10,000,000 secured by the 568 Broadway property, were used to satisfy the Credit Facility that had a balance due of $37,417,249 as of February 20, 2003. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding balance due on the Loan was $31,455,543 of which $12,611,202 was allocable to the Company and the interest rate, at June 30, 2003, on the Loan was 4.03125%. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the entire principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan. Accordingly, the Borrowers, the Companies and the Shelbourne Operating Partnerships have entered into Indemnity, Contribution and Subrogation Agreements, the purpose and intent of which was to place the operating partnerships in the same position (as among each other) as each would have been had the lender made three separate loans, one to each of the operating partnerships. The principal benefit derived from obtaining one loan instead of three separate loans is that the interest rate on the Loan and the costs associated with the Loan are less than that which would have been incurred for three separate smaller loans. 8. CLASS B PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS ----------------------------- Under the Plan of Liquidation which has been approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors and stockholders, the Class B Unitholder is entitled to receive an incentive payment of 15% of (i) the cash and other proceeds generated from operating the assets and properties of the Company, plus the aggregate fair value of all consideration received from the disposal of the assets and properties of the Company less (ii) the sum of all direct costs incurred in connection with such disposal (the "Incentive Fee"), after the payment of a priority return of approximately $52.25 per share to stockholders of the Corporation plus interest thereon compounded quarterly at 6% (from August 19, 2002) per annum until the priority return is paid in full (the "Priority Return"). On August 19, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized the issuance by the Operating Partnership of, and the Operating Partnership issued, Class B Units to HX Investors L.P. ("HX Investors") which Class B Units provide distribution rights to HX Investors consistent with the intent and financial terms of the Incentive Fee. The Class B Units entitle the holder thereof to receive distributions equal to 15% of gross proceeds after the Priority Return. After giving effect to dividends paid from August 19, 2002 to August 12, 2003, the remaining unpaid per share Priority Return at August 12, 2003 is $5.38 14 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 9. CLASS A 5% PREFERRED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS ------------------------------------------ In connection with the Transaction, the Operating Partnership issued to Shelbourne Management 672.178 Class A 5% Preferred Partnership Units (the "Class A Units"). The Class A Units entitled the holder to a quarterly distribution equal to 1.25% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Class A Units ($672,178). In addition, upon the liquidation of the Operating Partnership, each Class A Unit was entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per unit. The Class A Units are not convertible into common units of the Operating Partnership or shares in the Corporation and the holders of the Class A Units do not have voting rights except in limited circumstances. Although the holders of the Class A Units do not have redemption rights, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction, Shelbourne Management had the right to cause the Operating Partnership to reacquire the Class A Units upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, if the aggregate assets of the Companies is below approximately $75 million or the outstanding debt under which the Companies are obligated is less than $55 million, for a purchase price equal to the liquidation preference plus an amount (the "Put Premium") which was equal to approximately $4,374,000 at December 31, 2002 and declined each February 13, May 13, August 13 and November 13 until it reached zero on May 13, 2007. The terms of the Class A Units were subsequently modified to eliminate the liquidation preference and limit the circumstances under which the holders of the Class A Units can cause the Operating Partnership to purchase the Class A Units at a premium. These circumstances include the occurrence of any of the following while any of the Class A Units are outstanding; (i) the filing of bankruptcy by a Shelbourne OP; (ii) the failure of a Shelbourne OP to be taxed as a partnership; (iii) the termination of the Advisory Agreement; (iv) the issuing of a guaranty by any of the Companies on the debt securing the Accor S.A. properties; or (v) the taking of any action with respect to the Accor S.A. properties (see below) without the consent of the Class A Unitholder. In connection with the settlement of the lawsuit brought by HX Investors, Shelbourne Management agreed to pay to HX Investors approximately 42% of the amounts paid to Shelbourne Management with respect to the Class A units. 10. ACCOTEL TRANSACTION ------------------- On January 15, 2003, a joint venture owned by the Operating Partnership and the operating partnerships of Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. acquired from Realty Holdings of America, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, a 100% interest in an entity that owns 20 motel properties triple net leased to an affiliate of Accor S.A. The cash purchase price, which was provided from working capital, was approximately $2,668,272, of which $867,806, $1,079,675 and $720,791 was paid by Shelbourne Properties I, Inc., Shelbourne Properties II, Inc., and the Corporation respectively. The properties are also subject to existing mortgage indebtedness in the current principal amount of approximately $74,220,000. The Companies formed the joint venture and acquired the interest in the new properties in order to facilitate the disposition of the other properties of the Companies and the distribution to stockholders of the sales proceeds in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. Prior to the acquisition of the Accor S.A. properties, the holder of the Class A Units had the right to cause the Operating Partnerships to purchase the Class A Units at a substantial premium to their liquidation value (at the time of the acquisition, a premium of approximately $4,374,000 in the case of the Operating Partnership and approximately $16,265,000 for all three operating partnerships) unless the operating partnerships maintained at least approximately $54,200,000 of aggregate indebtedness ($14,574,000 in the case of the Operating Partnership) guaranteed by the holder of the Class A Units and secured by assets having an aggregate market value of at least approximately $74,800,000 ($20,100,000 in the case of the Operating Partnership). These requirements significantly impaired the ability of the Corporation to sell its properties and make distributions in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. In lieu of these requirements, the operating partnerships acquired the Accor S.A. properties for the benefit of the holder of the Class A Units. The holder of the Class A Units does, however, continue to have the right, under certain limited circumstances which the Companies do not anticipate will occur, to cause the operating partnerships to purchase the Class A Units at the premium as described above. 15 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q- JUNE 30, 2003 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 10. ACCOTEL TRANSACTION (CONTINUED) ------------------------------- The terms of the Class A Units were also modified to eliminate the $2,500,000 aggregate liquidation preferences to which the holder of the Class A Units was previously entitled ($672,178 in the case of the Operating Partnership). The holder of the Class A Units has the right to require the operating partnerships to acquire other properties for its benefit at an aggregate cash cost to the operating partnerships of $2,500,000 (approximately $670,000 of which would be paid by the Operating Partnership). In that event the Accor S.A. properties would not be held for the benefit of the holder of the Class A Units and would be disposed of as part of the liquidation of the Companies. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS ----------------- On July 9, 2003, the Corporation paid a dividend in the amount of $1.90 per share to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2003. 16 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC.

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in the report. ORGANIZATION ------------ Shelbourne Properties III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), was formed on April 17, 2001. The Corporation's wholly-owned operating partnership, Shelbourne Properties III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership", and together with the Corporation, the "Company"), holds directly and indirectly all of the Company's properties. Pursuant to a merger that was consummated on April 17, 2001, the Operating Partnership became the successor by merger to Integrated Resources High Equity Partners L.P. - Series 88 (the "Predecessor Partnership"). In August 2002, the Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation") and directed that the Plan of Liquidation be submitted to the Corporation's stockholders for approval. The stockholders of the Corporation approved the Plan of Liquidation at a Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 29, 2002. The Plan of Liquidation contemplates the orderly sale of all of the Corporation's assets for cash or such other form of consideration as may be conveniently distributed to the Corporation's stockholders and the payment of (or provision for) the Corporation's liabilities and expenses, as well as the establishment of a reserve to fund the Corporation's contingent liabilities. The Plan of Liquidation gives the Corporation's Board of Directors the power to sell any and all of the assets of the Corporation without further approval by the stockholders. Since the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, the Company has sold its properties located in Livonia, Michigan and Melrose Park, Illinois and its joint venture properties located in Hilliard, Ohio, New York, New York, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Grove City, Ohio. As a result, the remaining assets of the Company are a shopping center located in Las Vegas, Nevada and a 79.34% interest in an industrial building in the Columbus, Ohio area. In addition, the Company holds a 27.02% interest in a joint venture that holds 20 motel properties for the benefit of the Class A Unitholder. See "The Accotel Transaction" below. The Corporation currently expects that the liquidation will be substantially completed not later than October 29, 2004, although there can be no assurance in this regard. As a result, it is currently anticipated that not later than October 29, 2004, any then remaining assets and liabilities will be transferred to a liquidating trust. With the transfer to a liquidating trust, the liquidation will be completed for federal and state income tax purposes, although one or more distributions of the remaining cash and net proceeds from future asset sales may occur subsequent to the establishment of a liquidating trust. 17 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 THE TRANSACTION --------------- On February 14, 2002, the Corporation, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. consummated a transaction (the "Transaction") whereby the Corporation purchased the 385,226 shares of the Corporation's common stock held by subsidiaries of Presidio Capital Investment Company, LLC ("PCIC") and the Advisory Agreement was contributed to the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the Transaction, the Corporation paid PCIC $11,830,337 in cash and the Operating Partnership issued preferred partnership interests with an aggregate liquidation preference of $672,178 and a note in the amount of $14,589,936. THE ACCOTEL TRANSACTION ----------------------- In connection with the Transaction, the Operating Partnership issued the Class A Units to Shelbourne Management. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement in which the Class A Units were issued, the holder of the Class A Units had the right to cause the Operating Partnership to purchase the Class A Units at a substantial premium to their liquidation value ($4,374,000 at the January 15, 2003) unless the Operating Partnership, together with the operating partnerships of Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. (collectively, the "Shelbourne OPs") maintained at least approximately $54,200,000 of aggregate indebtedness ($14,574,000 in the case of the Operating Partnership) guaranteed by the holder of the Class A Units and secured by assets having an aggregate market value of at least approximately $74,800,000 ($20,100,000 in the case of the Operating Partnership) (the "Debt and Asset Covenant"). These requirements significantly impaired the ability of the Corporation to sell its properties and pay dividends in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly, in a transaction (the "Accotel Transaction") designed to facilitate the liquidation of the Corporation and provide dividends to stockholders, on January 15, 2003, a joint venture owned by the Shelbourne OPs acquired from Realty Holdings of America, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, a 100% interest in an entity that owns 20 motel properties triple net leased to an affiliate of Accor S.A. The cash purchase price, which was provided from working capital, was $2,668,272, of which $867,806, $1,079,675 and $720,791 was paid by Shelbourne Properties I L.P., Shelbourne Properties II L.P. and the Operating Partnership, respectively. The properties were also subject to existing mortgage indebtedness in the principal amount of approximately $74,220,000. The Accor S.A. properties were acquired for the benefit of the holder of the Class A Units as they provide sufficient debt to be guaranteed by the holder of the Class A Units. Except as indicated below, the Class A Unitholder will ultimately be the sole owner of the joint venture. In connection with the Accotel Transaction, the terms of the Class A Units were amended to (i) eliminate the liquidation preferences (as the cost of the interest in the Accor S.A. properties which was borne by the Shelbourne OPs satisfied the liquidation preference) and (ii) eliminate the Debt and Asset Covenant. The holder of the Class A Units does, however, continue to have the right, under certain limited circumstances which the Companies do not anticipate will occur, to cause the Shelbourne OPs to purchase their respective Class A Units at the premium described above. These circumstances include the occurrence of any of the following while any of the Class A Units are outstanding; (i) the filing of bankruptcy by a Shelbourne OP; (ii) the failure of a Shelbourne OP to be taxed as a partnership; (iii) the termination of the Advisory Agreement; (iv) the issuing of a guaranty by any of the Companies on the debt securing the Accor S.A. properties; or (v) the taking of any action with respect to the Accor S.A. properties without the consent of the Class A Unitholder. The holder of the Class A Units has the right, which right must be exercised by no later than July 28, 2004, to require that the Shelbourne OPs acquire other properties for the Class A Unitholder's benefit at an aggregate cash cost to the Shelbourne OPs of not more than $2,500,000 (approximately $670,000 of which would be paid by the Operating Partnership). In that event, the Accor S.A. properties would not be held for the benefit of the holder of the Class A Units and the Companies would seek to dispose of these properties as part of the liquidation of the Companies. Accordingly, if the Class A Unitholder were to exercise this option, there is a risk that the Companies interest in the Accor S.A. properties could not be sold for their original purchase price. 18 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 THE ACCOTEL TRANSACTION (CONTINUED) ----------------------------------- The foregoing description of the transaction does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement (and all exhibits thereto) dated as of January 15, 2003, the Modification Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2003 and the Amended and Restated Partnership Unit Designation, copies of which are attached as exhibits to the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 16, 2003, which are incorporated herein by reference. THE PLAN OF LIQUIDATION - PROPERTY SALES ---------------------------------------- On October 29, 2002, the Corporation's stockholders approved the Plan of Liquidation. Accordingly the Corporation began selling its properties. Since the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, the Company has sold the following properties. Livonia Shopping Plaza. On January 29, 2003 Livonia Shopping Plaza was sold for $12,969,000. The Corporation received proceeds of $7,865,000 after repayment of debt ($4,700,000), closing adjustments and closing costs. The Company realized an accounting gain of $4,481,423. TMR Warehouse, Hilliard, Ohio. On January 31, 2003, the Hilliard, Ohio, property, which was owned by Tri-Columbus Associates, a joint venture in which the Corporation held a 79.34% interest, was sold for a gross sales price of $4,600,000. After satisfying the debt encumbering the property of $2,300,000 (of which the Corporation was responsible for $1,824,820), closing adjustments and other closing costs, net proceeds were approximately $2,063,000, $1,637,784 of which is attributable to the Corporation's interest. The joint venture recognized no gain or loss on the sale as the joint venture's property was previously written down to its net realizable value. 568 Broadway. On February 28, 2003, 568 Broadway Joint Venture, a joint venture in which the Corporation indirectly held a 22.15% interest, sold its property located at 568 Broadway, New York, New York for a gross sales price of $87,500,000. After assumptions of the debt encumbering the property, closing adjustments and other closing costs, net proceeds were approximately $73,000,000 of which approximately $16,169,500 was allocated to the Operating Partnership. The joint venture recognized an accounting gain of $67,746,480 of which $14,565,894 was attributable to the Corporation. Melrose Crossing Shopping Center. Also on February 28, 2003, the Corporation sold its property located in Melrose Park, Illinois for a gross purchase price of $2,164,800. The Corporation received proceeds of $1,970,000 after closing costs and adjustments. The Company realized an accounting gain of $137,549. Indiana Market Ltd. On May 8, 2003, Indiana Market Ltd., a joint venture in which the Corporation holds a 50% interest, consummated the sale of its shopping center property located in Indianapolis, Indiana commonly referred to as Indiana Market Place for a purchase price of $700,000. After closing costs and adjustments, net proceeds were $600,210 of which $300,105 is allocable to the Corporation. The Corporation recognized an accounting gain of $26,251. Grove City. On June 18, 2003, the Grove City, Ohio property which was owned by Tri-Columbus Associates, in which the Corporation holds a 79.34% interest, was sold for a gross sales price of $4,090,000. The loan encumbering the property required a principal payment equal to the greater of $3,300,000 or 90% of the net proceeds. After closing adjustments and costs, net proceeds were $3,938,286. As a result, the required principal payment was $3,544,457 of which the Corporation was allocated $2,812,172. The remaining proceeds after the principal payment were $393,829 of which the Corporation was allocated $312,464 The joint venture recognized no gain or loss on the sale as the joint venture's property was written down to its net realizable value. 19 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ------------------- On July 9, 2003, the Corporation paid a dividend in the amount of $1.90 per share to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- The Company uses its working capital reserves and any cash from operations as its primary source of liquidity. In addition, on February 20, 2003, in a transaction designed to provide flexibility to the Corporation, Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. (collectively, the "Companies") in implementing their respective plans of liquidation and to enable them to distribute 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the New York, New York property, direct and indirect subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") of each of the Companies entered into a Loan Agreement with Fleet National Bank, as agent for itself and other lenders ("Fleet") pursuant to which the Borrowers obtained a $55,000,000 loan (the "Loan"). The Companies believed that by entering into a single loan transaction instead of three separate loan transactions they were able to obtain a larger loan at a more favorable interest rate. The Loan bears interest at the election of the Borrowers at a rate of either LIBOR plus 2.75% or Fleet's prime rate (but not less than 5%) plus 1%. At present the Borrowers have elected that the Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Loan matures on February 19, 2006, subject to two one year extensions. The Loan is prepayable in whole or in part at anytime without penalty or premium. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding balance due on the Loan was $31,455,543, of which $12,611,202 was allocable to the Company and the interest rate on the Loan was 4.03125%. The Loan is secured by mortgages on the Company's Las Vegas, Nevada property and the property held by Tri-Columbus Associates, as well as certain other properties owned indirectly by Shelbourne Properties I, Inc. and Shelbourne Properties II, Inc. The Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the amounts due under the Loan and the Operating Partnership and the Corporation (as well as the other operating partnerships and Companies) have guaranteed the repayment of the Loan. A portion of the Loan proceeds, as well as the balance of a note in the amount of $10,000,000 secured by the 568 Broadway property, were used to satisfy the Credit Facility that had a balance due of $37,417,249 of which the Corporation was responsible for $13,193,637. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan, each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the repayment of the entire principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan. Accordingly, the Borrowers, the Companies and the Shelbourne Operating Partnerships have entered into Indemnity, Contribution and Subrogation Agreements, the purpose and intent of which was to place the operating partnerships in the same position (as among each other) as each would have been had the lender made three separate loans, one to each of the operating partnerships. The principal benefit derived from obtaining one loan instead of three separate loans is that the interest rate on the Loan and the costs associated with the Loan are less than that which would have been incurred for three separate smaller loans. The Company had $3,363,719 in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003 of which $1,004,325 was classified as restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents are temporarily invested in short-term instruments. The Company's level of liquidity based upon cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,103,349 during the six months ended June 30, 2003. As discussed further below, the increase resulted from $26,574,149 of net cash provided by operating activities and $14,021,074 of net cash provided by investing activities which was offset partially by $37,491,874 of net cash used in financing activities. In addition to the cash and cash equivalents reported at June 30, 2003, the Corporation's joint ventures held cash at June 30, 2003 of which the Corporation's allocable share was $162,945. Currently, the Corporation's primary sources of funds are rents collected from tenants, distributions from its joint venture investments and proceeds from property sales. Rents collected from tenants for the six months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $1,278,575 as compared to $1,599,421 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease is due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza on January 29, 2003 which is partially offset by Sunrise Marketplace increase in collections of $171,683. 20 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------- Distributions in excess of earnings from joint ventures increased by $2,131,682 to $12,430,310 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $10,298,628 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase is due to the net cash received from the 2003 sales of properties owned by 568 Broadway Joint Venture, Tri-Columbus Associates, and Indiana Market, Ltd. Cash provided by investing activities resulted from the sales of Livonia Shopping Plaza and Melrose Crossing II which generated proceeds of $14,820,768, which were partially offset by the investment in the Accotel Transaction of $720,791 and improvements to real estate of $78,903 at Sunrise Marketplace. Cash used in financing activities consisted of the dividends paid to shareholders ($30,367,722), distributions made to Class A Unitholders ($16,898), the satisfaction of the Credit Facility ($19,178,457) and the principal payment on the Fleet Loan ($2,812,171). These were offset by the Fleet Loan proceeds of $15,423,374. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. JUNE 30, 2002 ------------------------------------------------ Net income The Corporation's net income available to common shareholders increased by $36,303,822 to $19,923,762 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from a net loss of $16,380,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was due to an increase in gains on sale, increased equity income from joint ventures and a decrease in costs and expenses partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue and an increase in interest expense. The Corporation's income before equity income from joint ventures, gain on sale of real estate, and interest was $147,986 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to a loss of $17,518,057 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Rental Revenue Rental revenues decreased $273,520 or approximately 15% to $1,553,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $1,826,891 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza. This decrease was partially offset by Sunrise Marketplace's rental revenues increasing by $158,651. Costs and Expenses Costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $1,405,385, representing a decrease of $17,939,563 from the same period in 2002. The decrease is due principally to expenses incurred in 2002 of $15,262,114 associated with the purchase of the Advisory Agreement that was consummated on February 14, 2002. Excluding expenses associated with the purchase of the Advisory Agreement, expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002, were $4,082,834. Therefore, without giving effect to the costs incurred in 2002 for the purchase of the Advisory Agreement, expenses decreased by $2,677,449 for six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to reduced administrative expenses, the cessation of depreciation and amortization and the reduction of the asset management fees to $200,000 per year. Operating expenses increased by $11,809 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was the result of an obligation under the terms of the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza to pay the real estate taxes through November 30, 2003. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in total operating costs due to the sales of Livonia and Melrose Crossing II. Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation which was adopted October 29, 2002, depreciation and amortization expenses ceased as of that date. Therefore the Corporation incurred no depreciation and amortization for the six months 21 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) --------------------------------- ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $386,012 for the same period in 2002. Partnership asset management fees and transition management fees decreased to $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $230,813 for the same period in 2002. In 2002, prior to the Transaction, the fees were based on 1.25% of gross asset value of the Corporation, which amounted to $105,863 during 2002, and effective February 14, 2002, after the Transaction, there was a fixed fee of $27,778 per month which amounted to $124,950 for the period beginning February 15, 2002 through June 30, 2002. The total asset management fee and transition management fees paid for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $230,813. Effective October 1, 2002, the asset management fee payable by the Corporation was reduced to $50,000 per quarter. Administrative costs decreased to $689,354 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $2,848,036 for the same period in 2002. This reduction is due to the costs not incurred in 2003 that were incurred in 2002 in connection with the Transaction and legal, professional and consulting fees also incurred in 2002. Property Management fees decreased to $34,440 from $48,191 for the periods ending June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza in January 2003. Gain on Sale of Real Estate The gain on sale of $4,618,972 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza and Melrose Crossing II on January 29, 2003 and February 28, 2003, respectively. Non-Operating Income and Expenses Income from investments in joint ventures increased by $14,055,455 to $15,460,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $1,405,142 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This is primarily due to 568 Broadway Joint Venture, in which the Corporation indirectly held a 22.15% interest, selling its property on February 28, 2003. The joint venture recognized a gain on sale of $67,746,480 of which $14,565,894 was allocated to the Corporation. Excluding the gain on sale, the Corporation experienced a decrease in equity income from 568 Broadway Joint Venture for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $671,136 due to the recognition of only two months of revenue and expenses in 2003 resulting from the sale of the property on February 28, 2003. The Corporation's joint venture investment, known as SuperValu, in which the Corporation holds a 50% interest, sold its property located in Indianapolis, Indiana on May 8, 2003. The property had been written down to its anticipated net realizable value at October 29, 2002 and recognized a loss in 2002 of $1,448,544. Because the expenses associated with the sale were less than estimated in 2002, the joint venture recognized an accounting gain in 2003 of $26,561. Excluding the gain on the sales, the joint venture experienced an increase in equity income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 of $344,859 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to cessation of depreciation and amortization expenses in 2003 in accordance with liquidation accounting and the recognition by the joint venture of permanent impairment of its Atlanta, Georgia property which resulted in a $325,000 expense during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Corporation's investment in joint venture, known as Tri-Columbus Associates, in which the Corporation holds a 79.34% interest experienced an increase in equity income excluding any gains on sale of $251,988 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization expenses in accordance with liquidation accounting. During the first six months of 2003, interest expense was $312,116, which consisted of $87,701 paid in connection with the Credit Facility and $224,415 incurred in connection with the Fleet Loan, as compared to $282,827 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The interest incurred during 2002 was comprised of $142,871 related to the notes issued to Shelbourne Management in connection with the purchase of the Advisory Agreements and interest of $139,956 incurred in connection with the Credit Facility. Interest income decreased to $25,221 during the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $28,379 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to slightly higher cash balances invested and lower yields. 22 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) --------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VS. JUNE 30, 2002 -------------------------------------------------- Net income The Corporation's net income available for common shareholders increased by $1,961,954 to $318,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from a net loss of $1,643,728 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was due to increased equity income from joint ventures, a decrease in costs and expenses and a decrease in interest expense partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue. The Corporation's income before equity income from joint ventures, gain on sales of real estate, and interest was $108,815 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, as compared to a loss of $1,771,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Rental Revenue Rental revenues decreased $236,422 or approximately 24%, to $754,820 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $991,242 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza. The decrease in rental revenues of $350,498 due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza was partially offset by Sunrise Marketplace's rental revenues increasing by $114,165. Costs and Expenses Costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $646,005, representing a decrease of $2,116,299 from the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to reduced administrative expenses as a result of legal, professional and consulting fees incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and not incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2003. The cessation of depreciation and amortization and the reduction of the asset management fees to $200,000 per year also contributed to the reduction of costs and expenses along with the sale of certain properties. Operating expenses decreased by $143,712 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in operating expenses was due to the sales of Livonia and Melrose Crossing II. Pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation which was adopted October 29, 2002, depreciation and amortization expenses ceased as of that date. Therefore, the Corporation incurred no depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $213,238 for the same period in 2002. Partnership asset management fees decreased to $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $83,300 for the same period in 2002. In 2002, after the Transaction, there was a fixed asset management fee of $27,778 per month which amounted to $83,300 during the second quarter of 2002. Effective October 1, 2002, the asset management fee payable by the Corporation was reduced to $50,000. Administrative costs decreased to $252,671 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $629,534 for the same period in 2002. This reduction is due to the legal, professional and consulting costs not incurred in 2003 that were incurred in 2002. Property Management fees decreased to $17,709 from $23,899 for the periods ending June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease is due to the sale of Livonia Shopping Plaza in January 2003. Non-Operating Income and Expenses Income from investments in joint ventures increased by $49,434 to $358,298 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $308,864 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The Corporation experienced a decrease in equity income from 568 Broadway Joint Venture for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $400,378 due to the sale of the property on February 28, 2003. 23 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC.

Excluding the gain on the sales, the joint venture experienced an increase of $321,452 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. This decrease is primarily due to cessation of depreciation and amortization expenses in 2003 in accordance with liquidation accounting and recognition by the joint venture of permanent impairment of its Atlanta, Georgia property which resulted in a $325,000 expense during the second quarter of 2002. The Corporation's joint venture in investment, know as Tri-Columbus Associates, in which the Corporation holds a 79.34% interest, experienced an increase in equity income of $101,797 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization expenses in accordance with liquidation accounting. During the second quarter of 2003, interest expense was $154,331. This was incurred in connection with the Fleet Loan. The interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $198,233. The interest in 2002 was comprised of $58,277 incurred on the notes issued to Shelbourne Management in connection with the purchase of the Advisory Agreements and $139,956 incurred in connection with the Credit Facility. Interest income decreased to $5,444 during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $16,703 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to lower cash balances invested and lower yields. Inflation Inflation is not expected to have a material impact on the operations or financial position of the Corporation. 24 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The primary market risk the Corporation faces is interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation's long-term debt bears interest at a floating rate, and therefore the Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate changes. At June 30, 2003, borrowings under our secured loan totaled $12,611,202 and initially bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. Based on the balance outstanding on the Corporation's credit facility at August 12, 2003 and the interest rate at that date, a 10% increase in LIBOR would increase the Corporation's interest expense in 2003 by approximately $16,158. Conversely, a 10% decrease in LIBOR would decrease the Corporation's interest expense in 2003 by the same amount. The gain or loss the Corporation ultimately realizes with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the actual interest rates during that period. The Corporation does not utilize derivative financial instruments. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Corporation principal executive officer and principal financial officer have, within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report, evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a - 14(c)) and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are adequate.

Accordingly, no corrective actions have been taken with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. 25 SHELBOURNE PROPERTIES III, INC. FORM 10Q - JUNE 30, 2003 PART II.
