On January 19, 2010, RCWI, L.P. (“RCWI”), an affiliate of Reef Oil & Gas Partners, L.P., the managing general partner of Reef Oil & Gas Income and Development Fund III, L.P (the “Registrant”), completed the acquisition of certain working interests in oil and gas properties from Azalea Properties Ltd. (“Seller”) for a purchase price of $21,610,116 pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between RCWI and the Seller dated December 18, 2009 (the “Azalea Purchase Agreement”).  The Azalea Purchase Agreement is subject to three side letter agreements regarding the post-closing acquisition of proven undeveloped properties, the post-closing resolution of properties with title defects, and the post-closing resolution of third-party consents for certain properties (collectively, the “Side Letter Agreements”).

RCWI entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “RCWI Agreement”), dated January 19, 2010, to sell portions of the working interests acquired from the Seller to the Registrant.  The Registrant acquired approximately 61.00% of the working interests initially acquired by RCWI from the Seller for a purchase price of approximately $13,182,171 in cash subject to post-closing adjustments.   RCWI is also assigning portions of the acquired working interests to other Reef affiliates on the same terms.
   
The oil and gas working interests acquired by the Registrant are represented by leases and cover more than 400 properties, including more than 1,400 wells, located in Texas, California, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, Montana, Colorado, and Arkansas.  The acquired working interests represent a minority interest in each of the properties and are operated by more than 100 different operators, none of which are affiliates of Reef Oil & Gas Partners, L.P.

The Seller has no material relationship with the Registrant, Reef Oil & Gas Partners, L.P., or its affiliates, other than through the related purchase contracts mentioned above.  RCWI and the Registrant are under the indirect common control of Michael Mauceli.

The foregoing descriptions of the Azalea Purchase Agreement, the RCWI Agreement, and Side Letter Agreements are qualified entirely by reference to the copies of said agreements attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5 to this current report on Form 8-K.
