NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.   Organization and Business

The financial information as of March 31, 2004, and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of PaineWebber R&D Partners III, L.P. (the “Partnership”), such information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations reported for the interim period ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual report of the Partnership on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

   The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership that commenced operations on June 3, 1991. Paine Webber Development Corporation (“PWDC” or the “General Partner”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of UBS Americas Inc. is the general partner and manager of the Partnership. The Partnership will terminate on December 15, 2015, unless its term is extended or reduced by the General Partner.

The principal objective of the Partnership has been to provide long-term capital appreciation to investors through investing in the development and commercialization of new products with technology and biotechnology companies (“Sponsor Companies”), which have been expected to address significant market opportunities. The Partnership has been engaged in diverse product development projects (the “Projects”) including product development contracts, participation in other partnerships and investments in securities of Sponsor Companies. Once the product development phase has been completed, the Sponsor Companies have had the option to license and commercialize the products resulting from the product development project, and the Partnership has had the right to receive payments based upon the sale of such products.

(UNAUDITED)

(Note 1 Continued)

The following table sets forth the proportion of each distribution to be received by limited partners of the Partnership (the “Limited Partners”) and the General Partner (collectively, the “Partners”). All distributions to the individual Limited Partners have been made pro rata in accordance with their individual capital contributions.

 
 
 
Limited Partners
 
General Partner

 
I.
 
Until the value of the aggregate distributions for each limited partnership unit (“Unit”) equals $1,000 plus simple interest on such amount accrued at 5% per annum (“Contribution Payout”) Contribution Payout as of March 31, 2004 is $1,638 per Unit
99%
 
 
1%
           
II.
 
After Contribution Payout and until the value of the aggregate distributions for each Unit equals $5,000 (“Final Payout”)   
80%
 
20%
           
III.
 
After Final Payout
75%
 
25%

Aggregate distributions per Unit reached Contribution Payout as of June 30, 2000. As a result, the General Partner will be allocated 20% of future cash distributions until Final Payout. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership made no cash distributions. As of this date, the Partnership has made cash and security distributions, as valued on the dates of distribution, since inception of $1,483 and $98 per Unit, respectively.

Profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated as follows: (i) until cumulative profits and losses for each Unit equals Contribution Payout, 99% to Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, (ii) after Contribution Payout and until cumulative profits and losses for each unit equals Final Payout, 80% to Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner, and (iii) after Final Payout, 75% to Limited Partners and 25% to the General Partner. As of March 31, 2004, the cumulative profits of the Partnership were $788 per Unit.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership, upon termination of the Partnership, the General Partner is required to pay to the Partnership an amount in cash equal to the debit balance in the General Partner’s capital account. Such amount then becomes part of the assets of the Partnership.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.    

Marketable securities consist of common stock which is recorded at market value. Marketable securities are not considered cash equivalents for the Statements of Cash Flows.

5.   Product Development Projects

Of the Partnership’s seven original Projects, the Partnership continues to own an interest in one Project: a $6.0 million investment in Cephalon Clinical Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), a $45.0 million limited partnership formed to fund the development, clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of Myotrophin™ for use in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and certain other peripheral neuropathies. If CCP produces a product for commercial sale, Cephalon, Inc. (as the Sponsor Company) has the option to license the Partnership’s technology to manufacture and market the product developed. In addition, Cephalon, Inc. has the option to purchase the Partnership’s interest in the technology. As of March 31, 2004, the Partnership is carrying this investment at zero.

6.   Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal, state or local income taxes. Accordingly, individual Partners are required to report their distributive share of realized income or loss on their respective federal and state income tax returns.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Partners’ capital decreased from $2.4 million at December 31, 2003 to $1.9 million at March 31, 2004 resulting from the recognition of a net loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 (as discussed in the Results of Operations below).

The Partnership’s funds are invested in marketable securities until cash is needed for the payment of ongoing management and administrative expenses incurred or remittance of cash distributions to Partners. Liquid assets decreased from $2.5 million at December 31, 2003 to $2.1 million at March 31, 2004 resulting primarily from a decrease in the market values of marketable securities held as of these dates.

On March 1, 2004, the General Partner determined to sell at the end of each calendar quarter at the then prevailing market price, shares of Repligen and/or GENZ to the extent necessary to pay the Partnership’s operating expenses.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003:

Net income (loss) for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $(497,943) and $283,064, respectively. The variance resulted primarily from the unfavorable change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of marketable securities.

The Partnership recognized unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of marketable securities of $(448,261) and $331,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The market value of Repligen decreased from $4.37 per share as of December 31, 2003, to $3.03 per share as of March 31, 2004. The Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation on its investment of 285,700 shares in the amount of $382,838. The market value of GENZ as of March 31. 2004 was $46.78 per share as compared to $49.29 per share as of December 31, 2003. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation of $65,423 on its investment of 26,065 shares. As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had an investment of 461,091 shares of GMO. (As of June 30, 2003, the GMO shares were exchanged for 26,065 shares of GENZ.) The market value of the Partnership’s investment in GMO as of March 31, 2003 was $1.46 per share as compared to a market value as of $1.75 as of December 31, 2002. The Partnership recognized unrealized depreciation for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, of $133,716. The market value of Repligen as of March 31, 2003 was $4.67 per share as compared to $3.04 per share as of December 31, 2002 resulting in the recognition of unrealized appreciation of $465,691.

There were no material variances in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies

The General Partner makes judgements in valuing its investments in product development projects. (See Note 5 of the “Notes to Financial Statements” included in this filing on Form 10-Q.) The General Partner’s judgement involves estimating the prospect of the Projects producing a commercially viable product. These estimates are based on the General Partner’s experience in evaluating similar investments, publicly available information from the Sponsor Companies and other sources the General Partner considers reliable. Based on these estimates, as of March 31, 2004, the Partnership is carrying its investment in CCP projects at zero.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Substantially all of the Partnership’s non-cash assets consist of 26,065 shares of GENZ and 285,700 shares of Repligen. The Partnership acquired these shares in connection with its investments in Projects. The Partnership holds these shares until cash is needed for the payment of Partnership expenses or to make cash distributions to the Partners.

The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risks are based on quoted market prices as of the balance sheet dates. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.

The table below summarizes the Partnership’s equity price risks as of March 31, 2004 and 2003 and shows the effects of a hypothetical 30% increase and a 30% decrease in market prices as of those dates. The selected hypothetical change does not reflect what could be considered the best or worst case scenarios. Indeed, results could be far worse due to the nature of the equity markets.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The President and Principal Financial Officer of the General Partner, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”)), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Partnership would be made known to them by others within the General Partner, or its affiliates particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

(b)   Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Partnership’s internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.
