                             TENDER OFFER STATEMENT

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended, relates to the tender
offer by AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, to purchase
outstanding units of limited partnership interest of United Investors Growth
Properties, a Missouri limited partnership, at a price of $4 per unit in cash,
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 25,
2002, and in the Press Release, dated March 19, 2002, and in the related Letter
of Transmittal and Acknowledgment and Agreement, which, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, together constitute the tender offer. Copies of
the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and Acknowledgment and Agreement
and Press Release are filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 11,
respectively.

Based on information provided by the general partner of United Investors Growth
Properties, AIMCO Properties believes it will not be able to purchase more than
19,529.57 units in the offer because the partnership agreement of UIGP prohibits
the purchase of units which, together with all other units previously
transferred in the preceding twelve months, exceeds 50% of the outstanding
units.
