                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of National Property Investors 5
(the  "Partnership"  or  "Registrant")  have been  prepared in  accordance  with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with  the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and Item  310(b)  of  Regulation  S-B.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
In the opinion of NPI Equity  Investments,  Inc.  ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing
General  Partner"),  all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  accruals)
considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating
results  for the  three  and six  month  periods  ended  June  30,  2003 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending  December  31,  2003.  For further  information,  refer to the  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's  Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2002.  The Managing  General
Partner  is  a  subsidiary  of  Apartment   Investment  and  Management  Company
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

Effective  January 1, 2002,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or
Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets",  which  established  standards for the way that
public business  enterprises report information about long-lived assets that are
either  being held for sale or have  already  been  disposed of by sale or other
means.  The standard  requires that results of operations for a long-lived asset
that is being held for sale or has  already  been  disposed  of be  reported  as
discontinued  operations  on the  statement  of  operations.  As a  result,  the
accompanying  statements of operations  have been restated as of January 1, 2002
to reflect the  operations  of Palisades  Apartments  as loss from  discontinued
operations. Palisades Apartments was sold on April 21, 2003.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  Partnership  has no employees  and is  dependent  on the  Managing  General
Partner  and  its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of all
Partnership  activities.  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for payments to
affiliates for property management services based on a percentage of revenue and
for  reimbursement of certain  expenses  incurred by affiliates on behalf of the
Partnership.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,  affiliates  of the Managing
General  Partner were  entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from all of the
Partnership's   properties  for  providing  property  management  services.  The
Partnership paid to such affiliates  approximately  $92,000 and $105,000 for the
six months  ended June 30,  2003 and 2002,  respectively,  which is  included in
operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations.

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable
administrative expenses amounting to approximately $110,000 and $184,000 for the
six months  ended June 30,  2003 and 2002,  respectively,  which is  included in
general  and  administrative  expenses,  investment  properties  and  loss  from
discontinued  operations.   Included  in  these  amounts  are  fees  related  to
construction  management  services  provided  by an  affiliate  of the  Managing
General  Partner of  approximately  $14,000 and $57,000 for the six months ended
June 30,  2003 and 2002,  respectively.  The  construction  management  fees are
calculated  based on a  percentage  of  current  year  additions  to  investment
properties.  As of June 30, 2003, the Partnership owed approximately $267,000 of
accrued  accountable  administrative  expenses to an  affiliate  of the Managing
General Partner.

For services relating to the  administration of the Partnership and operation of
the Partnership properties,  the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive
payment for non-accountable expenses up to a maximum of $100,000 per year, based
upon the number of Partnership units sold,  subject to certain  limitations.  No
such  reimbursements  were earned  during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002.

The  Partnership  insures its properties up to certain  limits through  coverage
provided by AIMCO which is  generally  self-insured  for a portion of losses and
liabilities  related to workers  compensation,  property  casualty  and  vehicle
liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through
insurance  policies  obtained  by  AIMCO  from  insurers  unaffiliated  with the
Managing  General  Partner.  During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
the  Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates  approximately  $43,000
and $102,000,  respectively,  for insurance  coverage and fees  associated  with
policy claims administration.

Upon the sale of the Partnership's properties, NPI Equity will be entitled to an
Incentive  Compensation  Fee equal to a declining  percentage of the  difference
between the total amount distributed to limited partners and the appraised value
of their investment at February 1, 1992. The percentage amount to be realized by
NPI Equity,  if any,  will be  dependent  upon the year in which the property is
sold.  Payment of the Incentive  Compensation Fee is subordinated to the receipt
by the limited partners, of: (a) distributions from capital transaction proceeds
of an amount equal to their appraised  investment in the Partnership at February
1, 1992, and (b) distributions from all sources (capital transactions as well as
cash  flow)  of an  amount  equal to six  percent  (6%)  per  annum  cumulative,
non-compounded,  on their appraised investment in the Partnership at February 1,
1992.  As of June 30,  2003,  an  Incentive  Compensation  Fee of  approximately
$290,000  is accrued  related to the sale of The Village in 1998.  The  Managing
General Partner was not entitled to receive an Incentive  Compensation  Fee from
the sale of Palisades Apartments.

As of June 30, 2003, the Partnership owed approximately $151,000 to an affiliate
of the  Managing  General  Partner as  reimbursement  for the payment of certain
operating  expenses on behalf of Palisades  Apartments.  Palisades sold in April
2003.

NPI Equity,  on behalf of the Partnership and certain  affiliated  partnerships,
has established a revolving credit facility (the  "Partnership  Revolver") to be
used to fund deferred  maintenance  and working capital needs of the Partnership
and certain other  affiliated  partnerships in the National  Property  Investors
Partnership Series. The maximum draw available to the Partnership  Revolver will
have a term of 365 days,  be unsecured  and bear interest at the prime rate plus
2% per annum.  The maturity date of any such borrowing  accelerates in the event
of "(i) the removal of NPI Equity as the managing  general  partner  (whether or
not for cause);  (ii) the sale or refinancing  of a property by the  Partnership
(whether or not a borrowing under the Partnership Revolver was made with respect
to such  property);  or (iii) the  liquidation  of the  Partnership.  During the
latter part of 2001,  the Managing  General  Partner  agreed to advance funds in
excess of the Partnership  Revolver.  These additional funds were needed to fund
operating  expenses of two of the  investment  properties  and the  Partnership.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Managing General Partner
advanced   additional   amounts  of   approximately   $286,000   and   $714,000,
respectively,  to the Partnership.  The Partnership repaid  approximately $4,000
and $57,000  during the same periods.  At June 30, 2003, the  Partnership  has a
balance of  approximately  $2,950,000  under this  Partnership  Revolver,  which
includes accrued interest of approximately $113,000. During the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, interest on the advances,  at the rate of prime plus 2%,
or 6.00% at June 30, 2003, was approximately $82,000 and $32,000,  respectively,
and is included in interest expense.

Note C - Disposition of Investment Property

On April 21, 2003, the  Partnership  sold  Palisades  Apartments to an unrelated
third  party for  approximately  $4,688,000.  The net  proceeds  realized by the
Partnership  were  approximately  $4,517,000 after payment of closing costs. The
remaining  proceeds were used to repay the mortgage  encumbering  the investment
property and to repay certain debt  obligations  of the  Partnership.  No amount
remained  to be  distributed  to the  partners.  As a result  of the  sale,  the
Partnership  realized  a gain of  approximately  $583,000  for the three and six
months  ended  June 30,  2003,  and this  amount  is shown as gain  from sale of
discontinued  operations  in the  accompanying  statements  of  operations.  The
property's  operations,  a loss of  approximately  $118,000 and $402,000 for the
three and six months  ended June 30, 2003 and a loss of  approximately  $471,000
and $753,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, are
shown  as  loss  from  discontinued   operations.   This  included  revenues  of
approximately  $153,000  and $427,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002,  respectively.  In  addition,  the  Partnership  recorded  a loss on early
extinguishment  of debt of  approximately  $7,000  for the three and six  months
ended June 30, 2003 due to a write off of  unamortized  loan costs which is also
included in the loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements
of operations.

Note D - Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the  Partnership,  its Managing  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of  interests  in certain  Managing  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking  dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint, which were heard February 1999.

Pending the ruling on such  demurrers,  settlement  negotiations  commenced.  On
November 2, 1999,  the parties  executed and filed a Stipulation  of Settlement,
settling claims, subject to court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all
limited partners who owned units as of November 3, 1999. Preliminary approval of
the  settlement  was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court,  at which time
the Court set a final  approval  hearing for  December  10,  1999.  Prior to the
December  10,  1999  hearing,  the  Court  received  various  objections  to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement.  On
December 14, 1999, the Managing  General  Partner and its affiliates  terminated
the  proposed  settlement.  In  February  2000,  counsel  for some of the  named
plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who
negotiated  the  settlement.  On June  27,  2000,  the  Court  entered  an order
disqualifying  them  from the case and an  appeal  was  taken  from the order on
October 5, 2000. On December 4, 2000, the Court  appointed the law firm of Lieff
Cabraser  Heimann & Bernstein  LLP as new lead  counsel for  plaintiffs  and the
putative class.  Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on January 19, 2001.
On March 2, 2001,  the  Managing  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  filed a
demurrer to the third amended  complaint.  On May 14, 2001,  the Court heard the
demurrer to the third amended  complaint.  On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an
order  sustaining  defendants'  demurrer on certain  grounds.  On July 20, 2001,
Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's July 10, 2001 order
granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer. On September 7, 2001,
Plaintiffs  filed a fourth amended class and  derivative  action  complaint.  On
September 12, 2001, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration.  On
October 5, 2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated  defendants filed a
demurrer to the fourth amended complaint,  which was heard on December 11, 2001.
On February 2, 2002,  the Court served its order  granting in part the demurrer.
The Court dismissed without leave to amend certain of the plaintiffs' claims. On
February 11, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a putative class
comprised  of all  non-affiliated  persons  who own or have  owned  units in the
partnerships. The Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants opposed the
motion.  On April 29, 2002, the Court held a hearing on  plaintiffs'  motion for
class certification and took the matter under submission after further briefing,
as ordered by the court,  was  submitted by the parties.  On July 10, 2002,  the
Court  entered an order  vacating the trial date of January 13, 2003 (as well as
the pre-trial and discovery  cut-off  dates) and stayed the case in its entirety
through  November  7, 2002 so that the  parties  could  have an  opportunity  to
discuss  settlement.  On October 30, 2002, the court entered an order  extending
the stay in effect through January 10, 2003.

During the third  quarter of 2001, a complaint  (the "Heller  action") was filed
against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,  captioned
Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed
a first  amended  complaint.  The  Heller  action  was  brought  as a  purported
derivative  action,  and  asserted  claims for,  among other  things,  breach of
fiduciary duty, unfair competition,  conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial
dissolution.  Plaintiffs in the Nuanes action filed a motion to consolidate  the
Heller action with the Nuanes action and stated that the Heller action was filed
in order to preserve the derivative  claims that were dismissed without leave to
amend in the Nuanes action by the Court order dated July 10, 2001. On October 5,
2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants moved to strike the
first amended  complaint in its entirety for violating the Court's July 10, 2001
order  granting in part and denying in part  defendants'  demurrer in the Nuanes
action, or  alternatively,  to strike certain portions of the complaint based on
the  statute of  limitations.  Other  defendants  in the action  demurred to the
fourth amended complaint, and, alternatively,  moved to strike the complaint. On
December 11, 2001,  the court heard argument on the motions and took the matters
under  submission.  On February 4, 2002,  the Court  served  notice of its order
granting defendants' motion to strike the Heller complaint as a violation of its
July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes  action.  On March 27,  2002,  the  plaintiffs
filed a notice  appealing the order  striking the complaint.  Before  completing
briefing on the appeal, the parties stayed further  proceedings in the appeal in
light of a settlement.

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action described below.

In general  terms,  the  proposed  settlement  provides  for  certification  for
settlement  purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this  Partnership and others (the  "Partnerships")  as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal  with  prejudice  and  release  of claims  in the  Nuanes  and  Heller
litigation,  payment by AIMCO of $9.9  million  (which shall be  distributed  to
settlement  class  members  after  deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent  appraisals of the  Partnerships'  properties  by a Court  appointed
appraiser.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has also agreed to make
a tender offer to purchase all of the partnership  interests in the Partnerships
within one year of final  approval,  if it is granted,  and to provide  partners
with the  independent  appraisals  at the time of these  tenders.  The  proposed
settlement  also provided for the  limitation  of the allowable  costs which the
Managing  General  Partner or its  affiliates  will charge the  Partnerships  in
connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and
costs in this litigation.  On April 11, 2003,  notice was distributed to limited
partners providing the details of the proposed settlement.

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.

The  Managing  General  Partner  does  not  anticipate  that  any  costs  to the
Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will
be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance
and the effect of government  regulations.  Actual results may differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a
variety of risks and factors including,  without limitation:  national and local
economic  conditions;  the terms of  governmental  regulations  that  affect the
Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment
in which the Registrant operates;  financing risks, including the risk that cash
flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal
and interest;  real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and
the general  economic  climate in local markets and  competition  for tenants in
such markets;  litigation,  including  costs  associated  with  prosecuting  and
defending  claims  and  any  adverse   outcomes,   and  possible   environmental
liabilities.   Readers  should  carefully  review  the  Registrant's   financial
statements and the notes thereto,  as well as the risk factors  described in the
documents  the  Registrant  files  from  time to time  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

The Partnership's  investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The
following  table sets forth the average  occupancy of the properties for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

                                                   Average Occupancy
      Property                                      2003       2002

      Willow Park on Lake Adelaide                  95%        91%
         Altamonte Springs, Florida
      Oakwood Village at Lake Nan Apartments        91%        91%
         Winter Park, Florida

The Managing General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Willow Park
Apartments to an aggressive marketing campaign.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net  loss  for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2003  was
approximately  $24,000 as compared to a net loss of  approximately  $867,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002. The  Partnership's  net income for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately  $355,000 as compared to a net loss
of approximately $547,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease
in net loss for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2003 and the  increase  in net
income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 is due to the  recognition  of a
gain from sale of discontinued operations.

Effective  January 1, 2002,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or
Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets",  which  established  standards for the way that
public business  enterprises report information about long-lived assets that are
either  being held for sale or have  already  been  disposed of by sale or other
means.  The standard  requires that results of operations for a long-lived asset
that is being held for sale or has  already  been  disposed  of be  reported  as
discontinued  operations  on the  statement  of  operations.  As a  result,  the
accompanying  statements of operations  have been restated as of January 1, 2002
to reflect the  operations  of Palisades  Apartments  as loss from  discontinued
operations. Palisades Apartments was sold on April 21, 2003.

On April 21, 2003, the  Partnership  sold  Palisades  Apartments to an unrelated
third party for a gross sale price of approximately $4,688,000. The net proceeds
realized by the  Partnership  were  approximately  $4,517,000  after  payment of
closing  costs.  The  remaining   proceeds  were  used  to  repay  the  mortgage
encumbering the investment property and to repay certain debt obligations of the
Partnership.  No amount remained to be distributed to the partners.  As a result
of the sale, the Partnership  realized a gain of approximately  $583,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003,  and this amount is shown as gain from
sale of discontinued  operations in the  accompanying  statements of operations.
The property's operations, a loss of approximately $118,000 and $402,000 for the
three and six months  ended June 30, 2003 and a loss of  approximately  $471,000
and $753,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, are
shown  as  loss  from  discontinued   operations.   This  included  revenues  of
approximately  $153,000  and $427,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

In April 2002,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 145,
"Rescission of FASB  Statements  No. 4, 44 and 64". SFAS No. 4 "Reporting  Gains
and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," required that all gains and losses from
extinguishment  of  debt  be  aggregated  and,  if  material,  classified  as an
extraordinary item. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, and accordingly, gains and
losses from extinguishment of debt should only be classified as extraordinary if
they are  unusual in nature and occur  infrequently.  Neither of these  criteria
applies to the Partnership. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after May 15, 2002. The  Partnership  adopted SFAS No. 145 effective  January 1,
2002. As a result,  the Partnership  recorded a loss on early  extinguishment of
debt of  approximately  $7,000 for the three and six months  ended June 30, 2003
due to the  write-off of  unamortized  loan costs which is included in loss from
discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

Excluding the impact of loss from discontinued operations and the gain from sale
of discontinued  operations,  the Partnership's loss from continuing  operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately  $110,000 and
$205,000,  respectively,  as  compared  to loss from  continuing  operations  of
approximately $76,000 and $114,000,  respectively,  for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002.  The increase in loss from  continuing  operations  for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 is due to an increase in total expenses
and a decrease in total  revenues.  Total expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2003 increased due to an increase in interest expense  partially offset by a
decrease in general and  administrative  expense.  Total  expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 increased due to an increase in interest  expense and
a decrease in operating expense. Interest expense for both periods increased due
to higher balances payable to the Managing General Partner.  Operating  expenses
for the three month period  decreased due to a decrease in  maintenance  expense
partially  offset by an increase in  advertising  expense.  Maintenance  expense
decreased as a result of an increase in the capitalization of certain direct and
indirect project costs,  primarily  payroll related costs.  Advertising  expense
increased due to an increase in advertising and referral fees at Oakwood Village
Apartments.

General and  administrative  expense  decreased  due to a decrease in management
reimbursements  to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership
Agreement.  Also  included  in general  and  administrative  expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are costs  associated with the quarterly and
annual  communications  with  investors and  regulatory  agencies and the annual
audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

Total  revenues  decreased due to a decrease in average  rental rates at both of
the  Partnership's  investment  properties  and an increase in  concessions  and
special  promotions  at  Oakwood  Village  Apartments,  partially  offset  by an
increase in occupancy at Willow Park Apartments.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the Managing General
Partner  monitors  the  rental  market  environment  of each  of its  investment
properties  to assess  the  feasibility  of  increasing  rents,  maintaining  or
increasing  occupancy  levels and protecting the  Partnership  from increases in
expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect
the Partnership  from the burden of  inflation-related  increases in expenses by
increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to
changing market  conditions,  which can result in the use of rental  concessions
and  rental  reductions  to  offset  softening  market  conditions,  there is no
guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At June 30, 2003, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$330,000 as compared to  approximately  $207,000 at June 30,  2002.  For the six
months ended June 30, 2003, cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately
$94,000.  The  increase  in cash and cash  equivalents  is due to  approximately
$4,097,000  of cash  provided  by  investing  activities,  partially  offset  by
approximately  $57,000 of cash used in operating  activities  and  approximately
$3,946,000  of cash used in  financing  activities.  Cash  provided by investing
activities  consisted  of net  proceeds  received  from  the  sale of  Palisades
Apartments and the refund of escrow accounts  maintained by the lender on behalf
of  Palisades   Apartments,   partially  offset  by  property  improvements  and
replacements.  Cash used in financing  activities  consisted of repayment of the
mortgage  encumbering  Palisades  Apartments,  principal  payments  made  on the
mortgages  encumbering the  Partnership's  properties and principal  payments on
advances from the Managing General Partner  partially offset by advances made by
the  Managing  General  Partner.  The  Partnership  invests its working  capital
reserves in interest bearing accounts.

The Managing  General Partner has  established a revolving  credit facility (the
"Partnership  Revolver")  to be used to fund  deferred  maintenance  and working
capital needs of the National Property Investors Partnership Series. The maximum
draw available to the Partnership  under the  Partnership  Revolver is $300,000.
Loans under the Partnership  Revolver will have a term of 365 days, be unsecured
and bear  interest  at the rate of 2% per  annum in  excess  of the  prime  rate
announced  from  time to time by JP  Morgan  Chase.  The  maturity  date of such
borrowing  will be  accelerated in the event of: (i) the removal of the Managing
General  Partner  (whether  or not For  Cause,  as  defined  in the  Partnership
Agreement);  (ii) the sale or refinancing of a property by the Partnership,  or;
(iii) the  liquidation of the  Partnership.  During the latter part of 2001, the
Managing  General  Partner agreed to advance funds in excess of the  Partnership
Revolver.  These additional funds were needed to fund operating  expenses of two
of the investment  properties and Partnership.  During the six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, the Managing General Partner advanced  additional  amounts of
approximately  $286,000 and  $714,000,  respectively,  to the  Partnership.  The
Partnership repaid  approximately $4,000 and $57,000 during the same periods. At
June 30, 2003, the Partnership has a balance of  approximately  $2,950,000 under
this  Partnership  Revolver which  includes  accrued  interest of  approximately
$113,000.  During the six months  ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,  interest on the
advances,  at a rate  of  prime  plus  2%,  or  6.00%  at  June  30,  2003,  was
approximately  $82,000 and  $32,000,  respectively,  and is included in interest
expense.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the various  properties  to  adequately  maintain  the
physical  assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with
Federal, state and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General
Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance and
is studying new federal laws,  including  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act of 2002.  The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests  additional  compliance measures
with regard to governance,  disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these
changes,  the Partnership  expects that it will incur higher expenses related to
compliance,  including increased legal and audit fees. Capital  improvements for
each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.

Willow Park on Lake Adelaide

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2003,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately  $90,000 of capital  improvements  at Willow Park on Lake Adelaide
Apartments  consisting  primarily of roof replacements,  plumbing fixtures,  air
conditioning upgrades,  floor covering replacements and exterior painting. These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership evaluates the
capital  improvement needs of the property during the year and currently expects
to complete an additional $10,000 in capital  improvements  during the remainder
of 2003. The additional  capital  improvements  will consist  primarily of floor
covering and appliance  replacements.  Additional  capital  improvements  may be
considered and will depend on the physical  condition of the property as well as
the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Oakwood Village at Lake Nan Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2003,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately  $105,000 of capital  improvements  at Oakwood Village at Lake Nan
Apartments consisting primarily of air conditioning upgrades, major landscaping,
exterior   painting,   fire  safety  upgrades,   appliance  and  floor  covering
replacements,  office computers, and structural improvements. These improvements
were funded from  operating  cash flow.  The  Partnership  evaluates the capital
improvement  needs of the  property  during  the year and  currently  expects to
complete an additional  $2,000 in capital  improvements  during the remainder of
2003.  The  additional  capital  improvements  will  consist  primarily of floor
covering and appliance  replacements.  Additional  capital  improvements  may be
considered and will depend on the physical  condition of the property as well as
the anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Palisades Apartments

During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2003,  the   Partnership   completed
approximately   $170,000  of  capital  improvements  at  Palisades   Apartments,
consisting  of  structural  improvements  and floor  covering  replacements.  In
addition,  approximately  $31,000 of construction  period  interest,  $48,000 of
construction  period operating  expenses and $8,000 of construction  period real
estate taxes related to redevelopment  of the property were  capitalized  during
the six months  ended June 30,  2003.  These  improvements  were funded  through
operating  cash flow and  replacement  reserves.  On April 21,  2003,  Palisades
Apartments was sold to an unrelated third party.

The additional  capital  expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership  reserves.  To the extent that such budgeted
capital improvements are completed,  the Partnership's  distributable cash flow,
if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The  Partnership's  assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term  needs
(exclusive  of  capital   improvements)   of  the   Partnership.   The  mortgage
indebtedness  of  approximately  $10,298,000  has  maturity  dates  ranging from
January  2020 to March  2021 at which time the loans are  scheduled  to be fully
amortized.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  the term of the Partnership is scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2005. Accordingly,  prior to such date the Partnership
will need to either  sell its  investment  properties  or extend the term of the
Partnership.

The  Partnership  did not  distribute any funds during the six months ended June
30,  2003  and  2002,   respectively.   The  Partnership's  cash  available  for
distribution  is reviewed on a monthly  basis.  Future cash  distributions  will
depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations,  the availability of
cash reserves, and the timing of debt maturities,  refinancings, and/or property
sales.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the Partnership will generate
sufficient  funds  from  operations  after  required  capital  improvements  and
payments on outstanding  advances owed to the Managing General Partner to permit
distributions  to its  partners  during  the  remainder  of 2003  or  subsequent
periods.

Other

In addition to its  indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interest in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  owned 52,671 limited  partnership  units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 63.83% of the outstanding Units at
June 30, 2003. A number of these Units were  acquired  pursuant to tender offers
made by AIMCO or its  affiliates.  It is possible  that AIMCO or its  affiliates
will acquire  additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and
units in the operating  partnership of AIMCO either through private purchases or
tender offers.  Pursuant to the  Partnership  Agreement,  unitholders  holding a
majority of the Units are  entitled to take action with  respect to a variety of
matters that include,  but are not limited to,  voting on certain  amendments to
the Partnership  Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As
a result of its  ownership  of 63.83% of the  outstanding  Units,  AIMCO and its
affiliates  are in a position to influence all voting  decisions with respect to
the Partnership.  When voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the
units it acquired in a manner  favorable to the interest of the Managing General
Partner because of its affiliation with the Managing  General Partner.  However,
with respect to 37,149 Units,  AIMCO is required to vote such Units: (i) against
any  increase in  compensation  payable to the  Managing  General  Partner or to
affiliates;  and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in
proportion  to the votes  cast by  non-tendering  unit  holders.  Except for the
foregoing,  no other  limitations  are imposed on AIMCO's  ability to  influence
voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.  Although the Managing General
Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited  partners of the  Partnership,  the
Managing  General  Partner  also  owes  fiduciary  duties  to  AIMCO as its sole
stockholder.  As a  result,  the  duties of the  Managing  General  Partner,  as
managing general  partner,  to the Partnership and its limited partners may come
into conflict with the duties of the Managing  General  Partner to AIMCO, as its
sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The financial  statements are prepared in accordance with accounting  principles
generally  accepted in the United States,  which require the Partnership to make
estimates and  assumptions.  The  Partnership  believes that of its  significant
accounting  policies,  the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Investment  properties  are  recorded at cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation,
unless  considered  impaired.  If  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  amount of a property may be  impaired,  the  Partnership  will make an
assessment of its  recoverability  by estimating  the  undiscounted  future cash
flows,  excluding  interest  charges,  of the property.  If the carrying  amount
exceeds the aggregate  future cash flows,  the  Partnership  would  recognize an
impairment  loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the
property.

Real  property  investments  are  subject  to varying  degrees of risk.  Several
factors  may  adversely  affect  the  economic  performance  and  value  of  the
Partnership's  investment  properties.  These  factors  include  changes  in the
national,  regional and local economic  climate;  local  conditions,  such as an
oversupply  of  multifamily   properties;   competition   from  other  available
multifamily  property  owners and changes in market  rental  rates.  Any adverse
changes in these factors could cause an impairment in the Partnership's assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
Rental income  attributable to leases is recognized  monthly as it is earned and
the Partnership  fully reserves all balances  outstanding  over thirty days. The
Partnership will offer rental concessions during  particularly slow months or in
response to heavy  competition  from other  similar  complexes in the area.  Any
concessions  given at the inception of the lease are amortized  over the life of
the lease.

ITEM 3.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Partnership's management,  with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
of the Managing  General  Partner,  who are the equivalent of the  Partnership's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer,  respectively,  has
evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls  and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)  under the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end
of the period covered by this report.  Based on such  evaluation,  the principal
executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer of the  Managing  General
Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership's principal executive officer
and principal  financial officer,  respectively,  have concluded that, as of the
end of such period,  the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures are
effective.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial  Reporting.  There have not been any changes
in the Partnership's  internal control over financial reporting (as such term is
defined in Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under the Exchange  Act) during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have  materially  affected,  or
are reasonably likely to materially affect,  the Partnership's  internal control
over financial reporting.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the  Partnership,  its Managing  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of  interests  in certain  Managing  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking  dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint, which were heard February 1999.

Pending the ruling on such  demurrers,  settlement  negotiations  commenced.  On
November 2, 1999,  the parties  executed and filed a Stipulation  of Settlement,
settling claims, subject to court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all
limited partners who owned units as of November 3, 1999. Preliminary approval of
the  settlement  was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court,  at which time
the Court set a final  approval  hearing for  December  10,  1999.  Prior to the
December  10,  1999  hearing,  the  Court  received  various  objections  to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement.  On
December 14, 1999, the Managing  General  Partner and its affiliates  terminated
the  proposed  settlement.  In  February  2000,  counsel  for some of the  named
plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who
negotiated  the  settlement.  On June  27,  2000,  the  Court  entered  an order
disqualifying  them  from the case and an  appeal  was  taken  from the order on
October 5, 2000. On December 4, 2000, the Court  appointed the law firm of Lieff
Cabraser  Heimann & Bernstein  LLP as new lead  counsel for  plaintiffs  and the
putative class.  Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on January 19, 2001.
On March 2, 2001,  the  Managing  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  filed a
demurrer to the third amended  complaint.  On May 14, 2001,  the Court heard the
demurrer to the third amended  complaint.  On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an
order  sustaining  defendants'  demurrer on certain  grounds.  On July 20, 2001,
Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's July 10, 2001 order
granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer. On September 7, 2001,
Plaintiffs  filed a fourth amended class and  derivative  action  complaint.  On
September 12, 2001, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration.  On
October 5, 2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated  defendants filed a
demurrer to the fourth amended complaint,  which was heard on December 11, 2001.
On February 2, 2002,  the Court served its order  granting in part the demurrer.
The Court dismissed without leave to amend certain of the plaintiffs' claims. On
February 11, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a putative class
comprised  of all  non-affiliated  persons  who own or have  owned  units in the
partnerships. The Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants opposed the
motion.  On April 29, 2002, the Court held a hearing on  plaintiffs'  motion for
class certification and took the matter under submission after further briefing,
as ordered by the court,  was  submitted by the parties.  On July 10, 2002,  the
Court  entered an order  vacating the trial date of January 13, 2003 (as well as
the pre-trial and discovery  cut-off  dates) and stayed the case in its entirety
through  November  7, 2002 so that the  parties  could  have an  opportunity  to
discuss  settlement.  On October 30, 2002, the court entered an order  extending
the stay in effect through January 10, 2003.

During the third  quarter of 2001, a complaint  (the "Heller  action") was filed
against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,  captioned
Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed
a first  amended  complaint.  The  Heller  action  was  brought  as a  purported
derivative  action,  and  asserted  claims for,  among other  things,  breach of
fiduciary duty, unfair competition,  conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial
dissolution.  Plaintiffs in the Nuanes action filed a motion to consolidate  the
Heller action with the Nuanes action and stated that the Heller action was filed
in order to preserve the derivative  claims that were dismissed without leave to
amend in the Nuanes action by the Court order dated July 10, 2001. On October 5,
2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants moved to strike the
first amended  complaint in its entirety for violating the Court's July 10, 2001
order  granting in part and denying in part  defendants'  demurrer in the Nuanes
action, or  alternatively,  to strike certain portions of the complaint based on
the  statute of  limitations.  Other  defendants  in the action  demurred to the
fourth amended complaint, and, alternatively,  moved to strike the complaint. On
December 11, 2001,  the court heard argument on the motions and took the matters
under  submission.  On February 4, 2002,  the Court  served  notice of its order
granting defendants' motion to strike the Heller complaint as a violation of its
July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes  action.  On March 27,  2002,  the  plaintiffs
filed a notice  appealing the order  striking the complaint.  Before  completing
briefing on the appeal, the parties stayed further  proceedings in the appeal in
light of a settlement.

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action described below.

In general  terms,  the  proposed  settlement  provides  for  certification  for
settlement  purposes of a settlement class consisting of all limited partners in
this  Partnership and others (the  "Partnerships")  as of December 20, 2002, the
dismissal  with  prejudice  and  release  of claims  in the  Nuanes  and  Heller
litigation,  payment by AIMCO of $9.9  million  (which shall be  distributed  to
settlement  class  members  after  deduction of attorney fees and costs of class
counsel and certain costs of settlement) and up to $1 million toward the cost of
independent  appraisals of the  Partnerships'  properties  by a Court  appointed
appraiser.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has also agreed to make
a tender offer to purchase all of the partnership  interests in the Partnerships
within one year of final  approval,  if it is granted,  and to provide  partners
with the  independent  appraisals  at the time of these  tenders.  The  proposed
settlement  also provided for the  limitation  of the allowable  costs which the
Managing  General  Partner or its  affiliates  will charge the  Partnerships  in
connection with this litigation and imposes limits on the class counsel fees and
costs in this litigation.  On April 11, 2003,  notice was distributed to limited
partners providing the details of the proposed settlement.

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.

The  Managing  General  Partner  does  not  anticipate  that  any  costs  to the
Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will
be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

      defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant
      and have:

      (a)   Designed such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
            disclosure   controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
            supervision,  to ensure that  material  information  relating to the
            registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known

            evaluation; and

      (c)   Disclosed  in this  report any change in the  registrant's  internal
            control  over   financial   reporting   that  occurred   during  the
            registrant's  most recent fiscal  quarter (the  registrant's  fourth
            fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
            affected,   or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the
            registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5.    The registrant's other certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed,  based
      on  our  most  recent   evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
      reporting,  to the  registrant's  auditors and the audit  committee of the
      registrant's  board of directors  (or persons  performing  the  equivalent
      functions):

      (a)   All significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design
            or operation of internal control over financial  reporting which are
            reasonably  likely to adversely affect the  registrant's  ability to
            record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

      (b)   Any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
            other  employees  who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's
            internal control over financial reporting.
