Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
Renaissance Capital Growth & Income Fund III, Inc. (the "Fund") is filing
this report on Form 8-K to announce that the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq")
has determined to delist the Fund's securities.
By letter dated July 6, 2004 (the "Decision"), Nasdaq informed the Fund
that it has determined to delist the Fund's securities from Nasdaq effective
with the open of business on Thursday, July 8, 2004. The Decision indicates that
the reasons for this determination include the Funds failure to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2003 and a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. A
full discussion of the background and circumstances responsible for the Fund's
inability to file its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q is contained in the Fund's Form
8-K dated June 18, 2004.
Nasdaq acknowledged that the filing delinquencies do not appear to have
resulted from any fraud or intentional misconduct at the Fund.
The Fund's securities will not be immediately eligible to trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board because the Fund is not current with respect to its Form 10-K and
Form 10-Q filings, and will therefore trade in the "pink sheets." In this case,
brokers should be able to provide the current trading price of the Fund's
shares.
The Fund will have the opportunity to re-list its common stock on The
Nasdaq National Market if it files its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q by September 7,
2004, and meets other relevant listing criteria.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
