OFFER TO PURCHASE (AIMCO LOG) AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P. is offering to purchase any and all limited partnership units in CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XIX FOR $261.28 PER UNIT IN CASH Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, we will accept any and all units validly tendered in response to our offer. You will not pay any partnership transfer fees if you tender your units pursuant to this offer. You will pay any other fees or costs, including any transfer taxes. Our offer price will be reduced for any distributions subsequently made or declared by your partnership prior to the expiration of our offer. Our offer and your withdrawal rights will expire at midnight, New York City time, on March 17, 2005, unless we extend the deadline. The general partner of your partnership does not make any recommendation regarding whether you should accept this offer. You are encouraged to carefully review this Offer to Purchase and any other information available to you and to seek advice from your independent lawyer, tax advisor and/or financial advisor with respect to your particular circumstances before deciding whether or not to accept this offer. SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 4 OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR A DESCRIPTION OF RISK FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH OUR OFFER, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: - If you want to tender your units in the offer, you must sign a letter of transmittal in which you release us from all liability, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 herein, with respect to any and all claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited to, those claims that were brought or that could have been brought in the Nuanes and Heller litigation brought on behalf of limited partners in your partnership and others, and assign to us your rights in any future claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement of this litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from any claims that you would otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal, as well as any other claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal. - We determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your partnership units based on an aggregate gross property value of $70,285,680. The aggregate gross property value is the sum of the property values for each of your partnership's properties, as estimated by us, before reduction for any prepayment penalties. Our estimate of the aggregate gross property value is approximately 86% of the aggregate appraised value of your partnership's properties, as determined by the independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003. As a result, our offer price is less than our estimate of the liquidation proceeds that would be payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold at prices equal to their 2003 appraised values, which we estimate to be $390.24 per unit. - Our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the 2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties and does not take into account any increases in property income that may result in the future. Our offer price might be higher if it were based on a more recent appraisal of your partnership's properties, or if it took into account any expected improvements in property income. (Continued on next page) If you decide to accept our offer, you must complete and sign the enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and mail or deliver the signed letter of transmittal and any other required documents to The Altman Group, Inc., which is acting as Information Agent in connection with our offer, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR FOR A COMPLETE COPY OF AN APPRAISAL OF ANY OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES MAY ALSO BE DIRECTED TO THE INFORMATION AGENT AT (800) 467-0821. February 16, 2005 (Continued from prior page) - Our offer price was determined without any arms-length negotiations. If your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, the value of the assets would be determined through negotiations with third parties, who may be willing to pay more for your partnership's properties than the value we used to calculate our offer price. Although the actual proceeds you might receive in a liquidation are uncertain, they could exceed our offer price. Similarly, other persons might ascribe a value to your partnership units that is higher than our offer price. As a result, you might be able to sell your units to a third party at a price that exceeds our offer price. - Your general partner and the property manager are affiliates of ours and, therefore, your general partner has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. - We are making this offer with a view to making a profit and, therefore, there is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low price and your desire to sell your units at a high price. - Continuation of your partnership will result in our affiliates continuing to receive management fees from your partnership. Such fees would not be payable if your partnership were liquidated. - If we do not acquire all of the outstanding units in your partnership, it is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price, although we have no obligation or current intention to do so. - For any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale or refinancing of property owned by your partnership. - The general partner makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender your units because each limited partner's circumstances may differ from those of other limited partners. THE GENERAL PARTNER DOES NOT MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATION REGARDING WHETHER YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THIS OFFER. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER.

We urge you to read this entire Offer to Purchase, which contains the full details of our offer. We have also included in the summary term sheet references to the sections of this Offer to Purchase where a more complete discussion may be found. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Offer to Purchase to "we," "our," "us" or "AIMCO Properties" refer to AIMCO Properties, L.P., and references to "general partner" refer to Fox Capital Management Corporation. - The Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase, we are offering to acquire limited partnership units of Century Properties Fund XIX, your partnership, for $261.28 per unit in cash. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date, "-- Section 7. Effects of the Offer" and "-- Section 8. Valuation of Units." - The Litigation Settlement. As part of the settlement of a class and derivative litigation entitled Nuanes et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc. et al. and Heller v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. on behalf of your partnership and limited partners in your partnership and others (the "Nuanes and Heller litigation"), we previously offered to acquire any and all of the limited partnership units of your partnership for $104.89 per unit in cash. THIS OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT. If you requested exclusion from the settlement but tender your units, by signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from claims that you would otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal. See "-- Release and Assignment of Future Claims" below. IF YOU DID NOT REQUEST EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE YOUR PRO RATA SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND ($7.94 PER UNIT) WHETHER OR NOT YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO THIS OFFER, PROVIDED THAT THE COURT'S ORDER APPROVING THE SETTLEMENT AND ENTERING JUDGMENT THERETO IS AFFIRMED ON APPEAL AND IS FINAL. IF THE COURT'S ORDER IS REVERSED OR VACATED BY VIRTUE OF THE APPEAL, HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE A PRO RATA SHARE OF THE SETTLEMENT FUND. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE SETTLEMENT, SEE "THE OFFER -- SECTION 9. THE LAWSUIT AND SETTLEMENT." - Factors in Determining the Offer Price. In determining the offer price per unit we principally considered: - the 2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties; - the location, condition and debt structure of your partnership's properties, including the prepayment penalty associated with the mortgages for these properties; - the current economic conditions in the local markets in which the properties are located; and - your partnership's other assets and liabilities. - Price May Not Reflect Fair Market Value. In deciding whether or not to accept our offer, you should consider the fact that, based on the valuation in 2003 of your partnership's properties by American Appraisal Associates, Inc., we estimate that the net liquidation proceeds per unit would be approximately $390.24, which is higher than our offer price of $261.28. Our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the 2003 appraisal was completed, and does not take into account any increases in property income that may result in the future. - Expiration Date. Our offer expires on March 17, 2005, unless extended, and you can tender your units until our offer expires. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date." 1 - Right to Extend the Expiration Date. We can extend the expiration date of the offer in our reasonable discretion. We reserve the right to extend the offer subject to customary conditions. In the event we extend the offer, we will either issue a press release or other public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the scheduled expiration date of the offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. See "The Offer -- Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period." - How to Tender. To tender your units, complete the accompanying letter of transmittal and send it, along with any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, to the Information Agent, The Altman Group, Inc., at one of the addresses set forth on the back of this Offer to Purchase. See "The Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units." - Release and Assignment of Future Claims. If you want to tender your units in the offer, you must sign a letter of transmittal in which you release us from all liability, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 herein, with respect to any and all claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited to, those claims that were brought or that could have been brought in the Nuanes and Heller litigation, and assign to us your rights in any future claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement of the Nuanes and Heller litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from claims that you would otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal, as well as any other claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal. - Withdrawal Rights. You can withdraw your units at any time prior to the expiration of the offer, including any extensions. In addition, you can withdraw your units at any time on or after April 17, 2005 if we have not already accepted units for purchase and payment. If you properly withdraw all of the units you previously tendered in the offer, the corresponding letter of transmittal, including your release and assignment of future claims contained therein, will be deemed revoked and of no force or effect. See "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." - How to Withdraw. To withdraw your units, you need to send a notice of withdrawal to the Information Agent, identifying yourself and the units to be withdrawn. See "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." - Tax Consequences. Your sale of units in this offer will be a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes. The consequences to each limited partner may vary and you should consult your tax advisor on the precise tax consequences to you. See "The Offer -- Section 6. Material Federal Income Tax Matters." - Availability of Funds. We intend to pay the purchase price for any units tendered from our existing cash balances or borrowings under our line of credit. See "The Offer -- Section 17. Source of Funds." - Conditions to the Offer. There are a number of conditions to our offer, including the absence of competing tender offers, that there be no material change with respect to our financial condition, and the absence of certain changes in the financial markets. See "The Offer -- Section 19. Conditions to the Offer." - Remaining as a Limited Partner. If you do not tender your units, you will remain a limited partner in your partnership. We have no plans to alter the operations, business or financial position of your partnership. However, if there are fewer than 300 unitholders in your partnership as a result of the offer, your partnership will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-KSB containing annual audited financial statements, and quarterly 2 reports on Form 10-QSB containing unaudited financial statements. See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer." - Who We Are. We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of Apartment Investment and Management Company, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company. See "The Offer -- Section 10. Information Concerning Us and Certain of Our Affiliates." - Conflicts of Interest. NHP Management Company (which is our affiliate) receives fees for managing your partnership's properties and the general partner of your partnership (which is our affiliate) is entitled to receive asset management fees and reimbursement of certain expenses involving your partnership and its properties. As a result, a conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving these fees, and the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of these fees. See "The Offer -- Section 13. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Affiliates" and "-- Section 15. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership." - No General Partner Recommendation. The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Each limited partner should make his or her own decision whether or not to tender. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER. See "The Offer -- Section 12. Position of the General Partner of Your Partnership With Respect to the Offer." - Fairness of the Offer. Although we, Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO") and AIMCO-GP, Inc. (collectively, the "AIMCO Entities") and your general partner have interests that may conflict with those of the partnership's unaffiliated limited partners, each of the AIMCO Entities believes that the offer price and the offer are fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of your partnership. This determination is based on the information and the factors set forth under "The Offer -- Section 12. Position of Your General Partner of Your Partnership With Respect to the Offer." - No Subsequent Offering Period. We do not currently intend to have a subsequent offering period after the expiration date of the initial offering period (including any extensions). See "The Offer -- Section 5. Extension of Tender Offer Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period." - Additional Information. For assistance in tendering your units, please contact our Information Agent at one of the addresses or the telephone number set forth on the back cover page of this Offer to Purchase. 3 RISK FACTORS Before deciding whether or not to tender any of your units, you should consider carefully the following risks and disadvantages of the offer: IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS IN THIS OFFER, YOU WILL RELEASE US FROM ALL LIABILITY AND ASSIGN TO US YOUR RIGHTS IN ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THROUGH AND INCLUDING THE DATE OF EXECUTION OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE CLAIMS RELATING TO THE NUANES AND HELLER LITIGATION, WHETHER OR NOT YOU REQUESTED EXCLUSION FROM THE SETTLEMENT AND WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGMENT IS REVERSED ON APPEAL. If you want to tender your units in response to our offer, you must sign a letter of transmittal, in which you release us and our affiliates from all liability, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 herein, with respect to any and all claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited to, those claims that were brought or that could have been brought in the Nuanes and Heller litigation brought on behalf of limited partners in your partnership and others, and assign to us your rights in any future claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement of this litigation but tender your units, by signing the letter of transmittal, you will release us from claims that you would otherwise have preserved by requesting exclusion from the settlement class. If you did not request exclusion, you will release any known or unknown claims arising out of the Nuanes and Heller litigation if the judgment approving the settlement is affirmed on appeal. By executing the enclosed letter of transmittal, moreover, you will release those claims even if the judgment is reversed or otherwise vacated on appeal, as well as any other claims through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal. OUR OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR UNITS. There is no established or regular trading market for your units, nor is there another reliable standard for determining the fair market value of the units. Our offer price does not necessarily reflect the price that you would receive in an open market for your units. Such prices could be higher than our offer price. OUR OFFER PRICE IS LESS THAN THE LIQUIDATION VALUE IMPLIED BY THE 2003 APPRAISAL. We determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your partnership units based on an aggregate gross property value of $70,285,680. The aggregate gross property value is the sum of the property values for each of your partnership's properties, as estimated by us, before reduction for any prepayment penalties. Our estimate of the aggregate gross property value is approximately 86% of the aggregate market value of your partnership's properties, as determined by the independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003. As a result, our offer price is less than our estimate of the liquidation proceeds that would be payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold at prices equal to their 2003 appraised values, which we estimate to be $390.24 per unit. OUR OFFER PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT FACTORS SUBSEQUENT TO 2003 THAT MAY HAVE INCREASED THE VALUE OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP UNITS. Our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the 2003 appraisal of your partnership's properties and does not take into account any increases in property income that may result in the future. Our offer price might be higher if it were based on a more recent appraisal of your partnership's properties, or if it took into account any expected improvements in property income. OUR OFFER PRICE WAS DETERMINED WITHOUT ANY ARMS-LENGTH NEGOTIATIONS, WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN A HIGHER VALUE FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP UNITS. Our offer price was determined without any arms-length negotiations. If your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, the value of the assets would be determined through negotiations with third parties, who may be willing to pay more for your partnership's properties than the value we used to calculate our offer price. Although the actual proceeds you might receive in a liquidation are uncertain, they could 4 exceed our offer price. Similarly, other persons might ascribe a value to your partnership units that is higher than our offer price. As a result, you might be able to sell your units to a third party at a price that exceeds our offer price. CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; NO TIME FRAME REGARDING SALE OF PROPERTY. Your general partner, which is our affiliate, is proposing to continue to operate your partnership and not to attempt to liquidate it at the present time. Your partnership's prospectus, dated September 20, 1983, pursuant to which units in your partnership were sold, indicates that your partnership was intended to be self-liquidating and that it was anticipated that the partnership's properties would be sold within 5 to 8 years of their acquisition, subject to market conditions. The prospectus also indicated that there could be no assurance that the partnership would be able to so liquidate and that, unless sooner terminated as provided in the partnership agreement, the existence of the partnership would continue until the year 2007. It is not known when the properties owned by your partnership may be sold. The market for units in the partnership is illiquid, and it may be difficult to sell your investment in the partnership in the future. The general partner of your partnership continually considers whether a property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, availability of favorable financing and tax considerations, with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation for your partnership. At the current time, the general partner of your partnership believes that a sale of the properties would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition of the properties and tax considerations. In particular, the general partner considered the changes in the local rental markets, the potential for appreciation in the value of a property and the tax consequences to you on a sale of property. We cannot predict when your partnership's properties will be sold or otherwise disposed of. HOLDING YOUR UNITS MAY RESULT IN GREATER FUTURE VALUE. Although a liquidation of your partnership is not currently contemplated in the near future, you might receive more value if you retain your units until your partnership is liquidated. In addition, at the current time, the general partner of your partnership believes that a selling the properties would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition of the properties and tax considerations. If your partnership's properties were sold in the future and the net proceeds realized therefrom were distributed to the limited partners of your partnership, the amount of such distributions might exceed our current offer price. THE GENERAL PARTNER FACES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THIS OFFER. The general partner of your partnership is our affiliate and, therefore, has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. We are making this offer with a view to making a profit. There is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low price and your desire to sell your units at a high price. We determined our offer price without negotiation with any other party, including any general or limited partner. YOUR GENERAL PARTNER IS NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING THIS OFFER. The general partner of your partnership (which is our affiliate) makes no recommendation as to whether or not you should tender or refrain from tendering your units because each limited partner's circumstances may differ from those of other limited partners. Although the general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make your own decision whether or not to participate in the offer based upon a number of factors, including several factors that may be personal to you, such as your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, your preferences regarding the timing of when you might wish to sell your units, other financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax consequences to you of selling your units. You are encouraged to carefully review this Offer to Purchase and any other information available to you and to seek advice from your independent lawyer, tax advisor and/or financial advisor with respect to your particular circumstances before deciding whether or not to accept this offer. 5 YOUR GENERAL PARTNER FACES CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RELATING TO MANAGEMENT FEES. Because we or our subsidiaries receive fees for managing your partnership and its properties, a conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving such fees, and the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of such fees. IF WE DO NOT ACQUIRE ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING UNITS IN THIS OFFER, WE MAY MAKE A FUTURE OFFER AT A HIGHER PRICE. It is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price, although we have no obligation or current intention to do so. Our decision to conduct a future offer will depend on, among other things, the performance of the partnership, prevailing economic conditions, and our interest in acquiring additional units. YOUR TAX LIABILITY RESULTING FROM A SALE OF YOUR UNITS COULD EXCEED OUR OFFER PRICE. Your sale of units for cash will be a taxable sale, with the result that you will recognize taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount realized on the sale and your adjusted tax basis in the units of limited partnership interest of your partnership you transfer to us. The "amount realized" with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest you transfer to us will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable to your unit. Depending on your basis in the units and your tax position, your tax liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer could exceed our offer price. The particular tax consequences for you of our offer will depend upon a number of factors related to your tax situation, including your tax basis in the units you transfer to us, whether you dispose of all of your units, and whether you have available suspended passive losses, credits or other tax items to offset any gain recognized as a result of your sale of your units. We may also be required by state or local tax laws to withhold a portion of our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering units will not be the same for everyone, you should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the offer to you. YOU MAY RECOGNIZE TAXABLE GAIN FOR RELEASE AND ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS. If you requested exclusion from the settlement or the Court's order approving the settlement is reversed or vacated by virtue of the appeal, a portion of the price paid to you may be deemed a payment for your release and assignment of claims. The proper treatment for federal income tax purposes of your receipt of any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims is uncertain. No opinion or assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") will not challenge the treatment of any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims as additional consideration for the units, and assert that such amount should be treated as an ordinary income payment in exchange for your release and/or assignment of current and future claims. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you with respect to your right to, and your receipt of, any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims. IF YOU TENDER YOUR UNITS IN THIS OFFER, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ENTITLED TO DISTRIBUTIONS FROM YOUR PARTNERSHIP. If you tender your units in response to our offer, you will transfer to us all right, title and interest in and to all of the units we accept, and the right to receive all distributions in respect of such units on and after the date on which we accept such units for purchase. Accordingly, for any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale or refinancing of the property owned by your partnership. 6 YOU COULD RECOGNIZE GAIN IN THE EVENT OF A FUTURE REDUCTION IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP'S LIABILITIES. Generally, a decrease in your share of partnership liabilities is treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a deemed cash distribution. Although the general partner of your partnership does not have any current plan or intention to reduce the liabilities of your partnership, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the general partner to reduce your share of the partnership liabilities. If you retain all or a portion of your units and your share of the partnership liabilities were to be reduced, you would be treated as receiving a hypothetical distribution of cash resulting from a decrease in your share of the liabilities of the partnership. Any such hypothetical distribution of cash would be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in your units and thereafter as gain. Gain recognized by you on the disposition of retained units with a holding period of 12 months or less may be classified as short-term capital gain and subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates. WE COULD DELAY ACCEPTANCE OF, AND PAYMENT FOR, YOUR UNITS. We reserve the right to extend the period of time during which our offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of any tendered units. The offer may be extended in our reasonable discretion, and no payment will be made in respect of tendered units until the expiration of the offer and acceptance of units for payment. We will pay for or return tendered units promptly after expiration of the offer. THERE MAY BE A POSSIBLE REDUCTION OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PARTNERSHIP AS A RESULT OF THIS OFFER. If there are less than 300 unitholders in your partnership upon consummation of the offer, your partnership would no longer be required to file periodic reports with the SEC, such as annual reports on Form 10-KSB containing annual audited financial statements, and quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB containing unaudited quarterly financial statements. Such reports are publicly available and can be obtained on the SEC's web site. The lack of such filings could adversely affect the already limited secondary market which currently exists for units in your partnership and may discourage offers to purchase your units. In such a case, you would regularly have access only to the information your partnership's agreement of limited partnership requires your general partner (which is our affiliate) to provide each year, which consists primarily of tax information. See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer -- Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act." YOUR PARTNERSHIP HAS BALLOON PAYMENTS ON ITS MORTGAGE DEBT. Your partnership has balloon payments totaling $16,862,000 due on its mortgage debt in May 2005, a balloon payment of $4,777,000 due on its mortgage debt in January 2006 and balloon payments totaling $12,521,000 due on its mortgage debt in July 2013. Your partnership may have to refinance such debt, sell assets or otherwise obtain additional funds prior to the balloon payment due date, or it will be in a default and could lose the property to foreclosure. See "The Offer -- Section 15. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership" for more information regarding the mortgage debt of your partnership. 7 THE OFFER 1. TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will accept (and thereby purchase) any and all units that are validly tendered on or prior to the expiration date and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." For purposes of the offer, the term "expiration date" shall mean midnight, New York City time, on March 17, 2005, unless we in our reasonable discretion shall have extended the period of time for which the offer is open. See "The Offer -- Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period," for a description of our right to extend the period of time during which the offer is open and to amend or terminate the offer. The purchase price per unit will automatically be reduced by the aggregate amount of distributions per unit, if any, made or declared by your partnership on or after the commencement of our offer and prior to the date on which we acquire your units pursuant to our offer. If the offer price is reduced in this manner, we will notify you and, if necessary, we will extend the offer period so that you will have at least ten business days from the date of our notice to withdraw your units. If, prior to the expiration date, we increase the consideration offered pursuant to the offer, the increased consideration will be paid for all units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, whether or not the units were tendered prior to the increase in consideration. The offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING TENDERED. See "The Offer -- Section 19. Conditions to the Offer," which sets forth in full the conditions of the offer. We reserve the right (but in no event shall we be obligated), in our reasonable discretion, to waive any or all of those conditions. If, on or prior to the expiration date, any or all of the conditions have not been satisfied or waived, we reserve the right to (i) decline to purchase any of the units tendered, terminate the offer and return all tendered units to tendering limited partners, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and purchase, subject to the terms of the offer, any and all units validly tendered, (iii) extend the offer and, subject to your withdrawal rights, retain the units that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the offer is extended, or (iv) amend the offer. By executing the letter of transmittal, you will agree that the transfer of units will be deemed to take effect as of the first day of the calendar quarter in which the offer expires. Upon expiration of the offer, the books and records of the partnership will reflect the change in ownership as having occurred as of this date. For tax, accounting and financial reporting purposes, the transfer of tendered units will be deemed to take effect on the first day of the calendar quarter. Accordingly, all profits and losses relating to any tendered units will be allocated to us from and after this date. If we waive any material conditions to our offer, we will notify you and, if necessary, we will extend the offer period so that you will have at least five business days from the date of our notice to withdraw your units. This offer is being mailed on or about February 16, 2005 to the persons shown by your partnership's records to be limited partners or, in the case of units owned of record by Individual Retirement Accounts and qualified plans, beneficial owners of units. 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will purchase, by accepting for payment, and will pay for, any and all units validly tendered promptly following the expiration date. A tendering beneficial owner of units whose units are owned of record by an Individual Retirement Account or other qualified plan will not receive direct payment of the offer price; rather, payment will be made to the custodian of such account or plan. In all cases, payment for units purchased pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Information Agent of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and other documents required by the letter of transmittal. See "The Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE OFFER PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT. 8 For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered units, if, as and when we give verbal or written notice to the Information Agent of our acceptance of those units for payment pursuant to the offer. Payment for units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer will be made through the Information Agent, which will act as agent for tendering limited partners for the purpose of receiving cash payments from us and transmitting cash payments to tendering limited partners. If any tendered units are not accepted for payment by us for any reason, the letter of transmittal with respect to such units not purchased may be destroyed by the Information Agent or us or returned to you. You may withdraw tendered units until the expiration date (including any extensions). In addition, if we have not accepted units for payment by April 17, 2005 you may then withdraw any tendered units. After the expiration date, the Information Agent may, on our behalf, retain tendered units, and those units may not be otherwise withdrawn, if, for any reason, acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any units tendered pursuant to the offer is delayed or we are unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for units tendered pursuant to the offer. Any such action is subject, however, to our obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay you the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer. We reserve the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, to one or more of our affiliates, the right to purchase units tendered pursuant to the offer, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve us of our obligations under the offer or prejudice your rights to receive payment for units validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer. 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS Valid Tender. To validly tender units pursuant to the offer, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, and any other required documents must be received by the Information Agent, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase, on or prior to the expiration date. You may tender all or any portion of your units. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. Signature Requirements. If the letter of transmittal is signed by the registered holder of a unit and payment is to be made directly to that holder, then no signature guarantee is required on the letter of transmittal. Similarly, if a unit is tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the United States (each an "Eligible Institution"), no signature guarantee is required on the letter of transmittal. However, in all other cases, all signatures on the letter of transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. In order for you to tender in the offer, your units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT YOUR OPTION AND RISK AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE INFORMATION AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. Appointment as Proxy; Power of Attorney. By executing the letter of transmittal, you are irrevocably appointing us and our designees as your proxy, in the manner set forth in the letter of transmittal and each with full power of substitution, to the fullest extent of your rights with respect to the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Each such proxy shall be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered units. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, we accept the tendered units for payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by you with respect to the units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). We and our designees will, as to those units, be empowered to exercise all voting 9 and other rights as a limited partner as we, in our sole discretion, may deem proper at any meeting of limited partners, by written consent or otherwise. By executing the letter of transmittal, you agree to execute all such documents and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required to enable the units tendered to be voted in accordance with our directions. The proxy granted by you to us will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of ten years following the termination of our offer. By executing the letter of transmittal, you also irrevocably constitute and appoint us and our designees as your attorneys-in-fact, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of your rights with respect to the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, we pay for your units and will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of ten years following the termination of our offer. You will agree not to exercise any rights pertaining to the tendered units without our prior consent. Upon such payment, all prior powers of attorney granted by you with respect to such units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent powers of attorney may be granted (and if granted will not be effective). Pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, we and our designees each will have the power, among other things, (i) to transfer ownership of such units on the partnership books maintained by your general partner (and execute and deliver any accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection therewith), (ii) upon receipt by the Information Agent of the offer consideration, to become a substituted limited partner, to receive any and all distributions made by your partnership on or after the date on which we acquire such units, and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such units in accordance with the terms of our offer, (iii) to execute and deliver to the general partner of your partnership a change of address form instructing the general partner to send any and all future distributions to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of the offer in respect of tendered units to the address specified in such form, and (iv) to endorse any check payable to you or upon your order representing a distribution to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of our offer, in each case, in your name and on your behalf. Assignment of Interest in Future Distributions. By executing the letter of transmittal, you will irrevocably assign to us and our assigns all of your right, title and interest in and to any and all distributions made by your partnership from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation, distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets, distributions upon liquidation, winding-up, or dissolution, payments in settlement of existing or future litigation, and all other distributions and payments from and after the expiration date of our offer, in respect of the units tendered by you and accepted for payment and thereby purchased by us. If, after the unit is accepted for payment and purchased by us, you receive any distribution from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation, distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets, distributions upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, payments in settlement of existing or future litigation and all other distributions and payments, from your partnership in respect of such unit, you will agree to forward promptly such distribution to us. Release of Claims. By executing the letter of transmittal, effective upon acceptance for payment of the units tendered by you, you will, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, estate, executor, administrator, successors and assigns, and your partnership, fully, finally and forever release, relinquish and discharge us and our predecessors, successors and assigns and our present and former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, investors, insurers, reinsurers, officers, directors, employees, agents, administrators, auditors, attorneys, accountants, information and solicitation agents, investment bankers, and other representatives, including but not limited to AIMCO Properties, L.P. (collectively, the "Releasees"), from any and all claims and causes of action, whether brought individually, on behalf of a class, or derivatively, demands, rights, or liabilities, including, but not limited to, claims for negligence, gross negligence, professional negligence, breach of duty of care or loyalty, or breach of duty of candor, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, corporate waste, malpractice, misrepresentation, whether intentional or negligent, misstatements and omissions to disclose, breach of contract, violations of any state or federal statutes, rules or regulations, whether known claims or unknown claims that have been asserted or that could have been asserted against the Releasees, through and including the date of execution of the letter of transmittal, including, but not limited to, those claims that arise out of or relate to (a) those matters and claims set 10 forth in the Nuanes and Heller litigation, (b) the ownership of one or more units in your partnership, including but not limited to, any and all claims related to the management of your partnership or the properties owned by your partnership (whether currently or previously), the payment of management fees or other monies to the general partner of your partnership and its affiliates, prior acquisitions or tender offers and the prior settlement, (c) the purchase, acquisition, holding, sale, tender or voting of one or more units in your partnership, or (d) any of the facts, circumstances, allegations, claims, causes of action, representations, statements, reports, disclosures, transactions, events, occurrences, acts, omissions or failures to act, of whatever kind or character whatsoever, irrespective of the state of mind of the actor performing or omitting to perform the same, that have been or could have been alleged in any pleadings, amended pleading, argument, complaint, amended complaint, brief, motion, report or filing in the Nuanes and Heller litigation (collectively, the "Released Claims"); provided, however, that the Released Claims are not intended to include (i) any unrelated claims that are unique to a limited partner or settlement class member (e.g., a settlement class member slips and falls on property owned by one of the defendants in the class and Nuanes and Heller litigation, loses or did not receive a distribution check distributed to other limited partners in such partnership, or is an employee of one of the defendants and has an employee related claim), (ii) any claim based upon violations of federal or state securities laws in connection with this offer, and (iii) any right to your pro rata share of the settlement fund in the Nuanes and Heller settlement, assuming that you are otherwise eligible, and the settlement and judgment thereto become final. In addition, you will expressly waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law and consistent with the releases described herein, the provisions, rights and benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California ("Section 1542"), which provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. You will have also waived any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, that is similar, comparable or equivalent to Section 1542. You may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which you now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of the Released Claims, but you will be deemed to have fully, finally and forever settled and released any and all Released Claims, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, that now exist or heretofore have existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing, including, but not limited to, conduct that is negligent, intentional, with or without malice, or a breach of any duty, law or rule, without regard to the subsequent discovery of the existence of such different or additional facts. You will acknowledge and agree that the releases contained in the letter of transmittal are intended to include the Released Claims, which you may have and which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor against the Releasees and that the releases contained in the letter of transmittal extinguish those claims. You will represent and warrant to the Releasees that you have been advised by your attorney of the effect and import of the provisions of Section 1542, and that you have not assigned or otherwise transferred or subrogated any interest in the Released Claims. Determination of Validity; Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of units pursuant to our offer will be determined by us, in our reasonable discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any particular unit determined by us not to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for that unit may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive or amend any of the conditions of the offer that we are legally permitted to waive as to the tender of any particular unit and to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular unit of any particular limited partner. If we waive any of the conditions to the offer with respect to the tender of a particular unit or with respect to a particular limited partner, we will waive such condition with 11 respect to all other tenders of units or all other limited partners in this offer as well. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offer (including the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. No tender of units will be deemed to have been validly made unless and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither we, the Information Agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any unit or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Backup Federal Income Tax Withholding. To prevent the possible application of back-up federal income tax withholding with respect to payment of the offer price, you must provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal and "The Offer -- Section 6. Material Federal Income Tax Matters." State and Local Withholding. If you tender any units pursuant to this offer, we may be required under state or local tax laws to deduct and withhold a portion of our offer price. You should consult your tax advisor concerning whether any state or local withholding would be required on a disposition of your units and whether such amounts may be available to you as a credit on your state or local tax returns. FIRPTA Withholding. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an amount equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition (the amount realized is generally the offer price plus the partnership liabilities allocable to each unit purchased), you must certify that you are not a foreign person if you tender units. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal and "The Offer -- Section 6. Material Federal Income Tax Matters." Transfer Taxes. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder of units or any person) payable on account of the transfer of units will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted. Binding Agreement. A tender of a unit pursuant to any of the procedures described above and the acceptance for payment of such unit will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering limited partner and us on the terms set forth in this Offer to Purchase and the letter of transmittal. 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS You may withdraw your tendered units at any time prior to the expiration date, including any extensions thereof, or on or after April 17, 2005 if the units have not been previously accepted for payment. If you properly withdraw all of the units you previously tendered in the offer, the corresponding letter of transmittal, including your release and assignment of future claims contained therein, will be deemed revoked and of no force or effect. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Information Agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of units to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of such units, if different from the person who tendered. In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by the person who signed the letter of transmittal in the same manner as the letter of transmittal was signed. If purchase of, or payment for, a unit is delayed for any reason, or if we are unable to purchase or pay for a unit for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer, tendered units may be retained by the Information Agent; subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of our offer. Any units properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of our offer. However, withdrawn units may be re-tendered at any time prior to the expiration date by following the procedures described in "The Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units." All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us in our reasonable discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. 12 Neither the Information Agent, any other person, nor we will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. 5. EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; NO SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD We expressly reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, at any time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which our offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, any unit, (ii) to terminate the offer and not accept any units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for if any of the conditions to the offer are not satisfied, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in "The Offer -- Section 19. Conditions to the Offer" relating to necessary governmental approvals, to delay the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any units not already accepted for payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend our offer in any respect (including, without limitation, by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing the units being sought, or both). We will not assert any of the conditions to the offer (other than those relating to necessary governmental approvals) subsequent to the expiration of the offer. Notice of any such extension, termination or amendment will promptly be disseminated to you in a manner reasonably designed to inform you of such change. In the case of an extension of the offer, the extension may be followed by a press release or public announcement which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the scheduled expiration date of our offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act. If we extend the offer, or if we delay payment for a unit (whether before or after its acceptance for payment) or are unable to pay for a unit pursuant to our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer, the Information Agent may retain tendered units and those units may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering limited partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in "The Offer -- Section 4. Withdrawal Rights;" subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer. If we make a material change in the terms of our offer, or if we waive a material condition to our offer, we will extend the offer and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by Rules 14d-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which the offer must remain open following any material change in the terms of the offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the materiality of the change, but generally will be five business days. With respect to a change in price or, subject to certain limitations, a change in the percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, a minimum of ten business days from the date of such change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to limited partners. Accordingly, if, prior to the expiration date, we increase (other than increases of not more than two percent of the outstanding units) or decrease the number of units being sought, or increase or decrease the offer price, and if the offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the tenth business day after the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to limited partners, the offer will be extended at least until the expiration of such ten business days. As used in this Offer to Purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, New York City time. Pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, subsequent offering periods may be provided in tender offers for "any and all" outstanding units of a partnership. A subsequent offering period is an additional period of from three to twenty business days following the expiration date of the offer, including any extensions, in which limited partners may continue to tender units not tendered in the offer for the offer price. We do not currently intend to offer a subsequent offering period. 13 6. MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS The following summary is a discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the offer that may be relevant to (i) limited partners who tender some or all of their units for cash pursuant to our offer, and (ii) limited partners who do not tender any of their units pursuant to our offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, rulings issued by the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as of the date of this Offer to Purchase. All of the foregoing is subject to change or alternative construction, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or alternative construction could affect the continuing accuracy of this summary. This summary is based on the assumption that your partnership is operated in accordance with its organizational documents including its certificate of limited partnership and agreement of limited partnership. This summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of federal income taxation which may be important to a particular person in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to certain types of investors subject to special tax rules (including financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and, except to the extent discussed below, tax-exempt organizations and foreign investors, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does it describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. This summary assumes that the units are held by the limited partners for investment purposes (commonly referred to as "capital assets"), and are not held by partners for sale to customers as dealer property under the Code. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this Offer to Purchase. Further, no opinion of counsel has been obtained with regard to the offer. THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF A LIMITED PARTNER PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SELLING THE INTERESTS IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTED BY YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER OR OF A DECISION NOT TO SELL IN LIGHT OF YOUR SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION. Tax Consequences to Limited Partners Tendering Units for Cash. The sale of a unit of limited partnership interest pursuant to this offer will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. You will recognize gain or loss on a sale of a unit of limited partnership interest of your partnership equal to the difference, if any, between (i) your "amount realized" on the sale and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the unit sold. The "amount realized" with respect to a unit will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable to your unit (as determined under Section 752 of the Code). Thus, your tax liability resulting from a sale of a unit could exceed the cash received upon such sale. Adjusted Tax Basis. If you acquired your units for cash, your initial tax basis in such units was generally equal to your cash investment in your partnership increased by your share of partnership liabilities at the time you acquired such units. Your initial tax basis generally has been increased by (i) your share of partnership income and gains, and (ii) any increases in your share of partnership liabilities, and has been decreased (but not below zero) by (i) your share of partnership cash distributions, (ii) any decreases in your share of partnership liabilities, (iii) your share of partnership losses, and (iv) your share of nondeductible partnership expenditures that are not chargeable to capital. For purposes of determining your adjusted tax basis in your units immediately prior to a disposition of your units, your adjusted tax basis in your units will include your allocable share of partnership income, gain or loss for the taxable year of disposition. If your adjusted tax basis is less than your share of partnership liabilities (e.g., as a result of the effect of net loss allocations and/or distributions exceeding the cost of your unit), your gain recognized with respect to a unit pursuant to the offer will exceed the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of such unit, and may result in a tax liability to you that exceeds the cash received upon such sale. Character of Gain or Loss Recognized Pursuant to the Offer. Except as described below, the gain or loss recognized by you on a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer generally will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if you held the unit for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by 14 individuals and certain other noncorporate taxpayers generally will be subject to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 15%. If the amount realized with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest of your partnership that is attributable to your share of "unrealized receivables" of your partnership exceeds the tax basis attributable to those assets, such excess will be treated as ordinary income. Among other things, "unrealized receivables" include depreciation recapture for certain types of property. In addition, the maximum United States federal income tax rate applicable to persons who are noncorporate taxpayers for net capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property (which may be determined to include an interest in a partnership such as your units) held for more than one year is currently 25% (rather than 15%) with respect to that portion of the gain attributable to depreciation deductions previously taken on the property. Certain limitations apply to the use of capital losses. If you tender a unit of limited partnership interest of your partnership in the offer, you will be allocated a share of partnership taxable income or loss for the year of tender with respect to any units sold. You will not receive any future distributions on units tendered on or after the date on which such units are accepted for purchase and, accordingly, you may not receive any distributions with respect to such accreted income. Such allocation and any partnership cash distributions to you for that year will affect your adjusted tax basis in your unit and, therefore, the amount of your taxable gain or loss upon a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer. Passive Activity Losses. The passive activity loss rules of the Code limit the use of losses derived from passive activities, which generally include investments in limited partnership interests such as your units. An individual, as well as certain other types of investors, generally cannot use losses from passive activities to offset nonpassive activity income received during the taxable year. Passive losses that are disallowed for a particular tax year are "suspended" and may be carried forward to offset passive activity income earned by the investor in future taxable years. In addition, such suspended losses may be claimed as a deduction, subject to other applicable limitations, upon a taxable disposition of the investor's interest in such activity. Accordingly, if your investment in your units is treated as a passive activity, you may be able to reduce gain from the sale of your units pursuant to the offer with passive losses in the manner described below. If you sell all or a portion of your units pursuant to the offer and recognize a gain on your sale, you will generally be entitled to use your current and "suspended" passive activity losses (if any) from your partnership and other passive sources to offset that gain. In general, if you sell all or a portion of your units pursuant to the offer and recognize a loss on such sale, you will be entitled to deduct that loss currently (subject to other applicable limitations) against the sum of your passive activity income from your partnership for that year (if any) plus any passive activity income from other sources for that year. If you sell all of your units pursuant to the offer, the balance of any "suspended" losses from your partnership that were not otherwise utilized will no longer be suspended and will therefore be deductible (subject to any other applicable limitations) by you against any other income for that year, regardless of the character of that income. You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning whether, and the extent to which, you have available "suspended" passive activity losses from your partnership or other investments that may be used to reduce gain from the sale of units pursuant to the offer. Release and Assignment of Claims. If you requested exclusion from the settlement or the Court's order approving the settlement is reversed or vacated by virtue of the appeal, a portion of the price paid to you may be deemed a payment for your release and assignment of claims. The proper treatment for federal income tax purposes of your receipt of any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims is uncertain. No opinion or assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the treatment of any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims as additional consideration for the units, and assert that such amount should be treated as an ordinary income payment in exchange for your release and/or assignment of current and future claims. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you with respect to your right to, and your receipt of, any deemed payments for your release and assignment of claims. 15 Information Reporting, Backup Withholding and FIRPTA. If you tender any units, you must report the transaction by filing a statement with your United States federal income tax return for the year of the tender which provides certain required information to the IRS. To prevent the possible application of back-up United States federal income tax withholding with respect to the payment of the offer consideration, you are generally required to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the back-up withholding rules may be refunded or credited against your United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal. Gain realized by a foreign person on the sale of a unit pursuant to the offer will be subject to federal income tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980. Under these provisions of the Code, if we acquire an interest held by a foreign person, we will be required to deduct and withhold 10% of the amount realized by such foreign person on the disposition. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign person's United States federal income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund could be claimed from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a United States income tax return. See the instructions to the letter of transmittal. State and Local Withholding. If you tender any units pursuant to this offer, we may be required under state or local tax laws to deduct and withhold a portion of our offer price. You should consult your tax advisor concerning whether any state or local withholding would be required on a disposition of your units and whether such amounts may be available to you as a credit on your state or local tax returns. Tax Consequences to the General Partner of Your Partnership and its Affiliates, including AIMCO Properties, L.P. The sale of your units pursuant to this offer will not be a taxable transaction for the general partner of your partnership or its affiliates, including AIMCO Properties, L.P. Consequently, the general partner of your partnership and its affiliates will not recognize gain or loss in connection with this offer. We, like any other purchaser of units, will receive a tax basis in the purchased units equal to the consideration paid by us for the units plus the allocable share of debt with respect to such units. This tax basis will be allocated over the assets owned by your partnership, and we will be able to take depreciation and amortization deductions to the extent basis is allocated to depreciable or amortizable property owned by your partnership. 7. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER Because the general partner of your partnership is our affiliate, we have control over the management of your partnership. We are affiliated with the company that currently manages the properties owned by your partnership. In addition, we, together with AIMCO IPLP Acquisitions, L.L.C. and AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which are our affiliates), own 53,731.66 units, or 60.18%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units and control your partnership's general partner, we control the outcome of most voting decisions with respect to your partnership. In general, we will vote the units owned by us in whatever manner we deem to be in our best interests, which may not be in the interest of other limited partners. This could (1) prevent non-tendering limited partners from taking action that they desire but that we oppose and (2) enable us to take action desired by us but opposed by non-tendering limited partners. We are also affiliated with the company that currently manages, and has managed for some time, the properties owned by your partnership. In the event that we acquire a substantial number of units pursuant to this offer, removal of the property manager may become more difficult or impossible. If we acquire all of the units that we are seeking in the offer, our interest in your partnership's net earnings ($(875,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004) and net book value ($(8,276,000) as of September 30, 2004) will increase to 100%. AIMCO-GP owns a 1% interest in AIMCO Properties, L.P. and AIMCO, through its subsidiaries, owns an 89% interest in AIMCO Properties. Distributions to Us. If we acquire units in the offer, we will participate in any subsequent distributions to limited partners to the extent of the units purchased. 16 Partnership Status. The rules regarding whether a partnership is treated as a "publicly traded partnership" taxable as a corporation are not certain. We believe that our purchase of units in accordance with the terms of our offer should not adversely affect the issue of whether your partnership is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, because, taking into account all of the facts and circumstances, the general partner of your partnership believes that the partnership interests in your partnership should not be treated as readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Business. Our offer will not affect the operation of the properties owned by your partnership. We will continue to control the general partner of your partnership and the property manager, both of which will remain the same. Consummation of the offer will not affect your agreement of limited partnership, the operations of your partnership, the business and properties owned by your partnership or any other matter relating to your partnership, except it would result in us increasing our ownership of units. We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the manager of your partnership's properties. Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If a substantial number of units are purchased pursuant to the offer, the result will be a reduction in the number of limited partners in your partnership. In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of securityholders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In the case of your partnership, however, there is no established public trading market for the units and, therefore, we do not believe a reduction in the number of limited partners will materially further restrict your ability to find purchasers for your units through secondary market transactions. The units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that your partnership is required to file periodic reports with the SEC and to comply with the SEC's proxy rules. We do not expect or intend that consummation of the offer will cause the units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, your partnership could apply to de-register the units under the Exchange Act. Your partnership currently has 3,665 unitholders. The lack of filing periodic reports could affect the already limited secondary market which currently exists for units in your partnership and may result in others not tendering for such units. In such a case, you would regularly have access only to the limited information your partnership's agreement of limited partnership requires your general partner (which is our affiliate) to provide each year, which information consists primarily of tax information. In particular, you will continue to receive a Schedule K-1 each year as well as audited financial statements with respect to your partnership. A Schedule K-1 is an information statement that contains tax information for the fiscal year of your partnership, such as your allocation of income, deductions, credits, gains and losses of your partnership for federal income tax purposes. In comparison, the periodic reports filed by your partnership under the Exchange Act contain your partnership's annual and quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act also include information regarding your partnership's business and property and a discussion regarding your partnership's financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, your partnership will not be required to provide current reports on Form 8-K, describing certain material events. See "The Offer -- Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date." Costs Associated with Being a Public Company. There are various costs associated with being a public company, including costs associated with preparing, auditing and filing our periodic reports with the SEC. We estimate these expenses to be approximately $47,000 per year. This represents approximately 10% of the partnership's general and administrative expenses and 0.34% of the partnership's total expenses (based on 2003 expenses of approximately $465,000 and $13,900,000, respectively). In addition, as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we estimate our costs will increase by approximately 10% beginning in 2005. If the partnership were to terminate its registration under the Exchange Act, the estimated cost savings would be approximately $47,000. 17 Accounting Treatment. Upon consummation of the offer, we will account for our investment in any acquired units under the purchase method of accounting. There will be no effect on the accounting treatment of your partnership as a result of the offer. 8. VALUATION OF UNITS Determination of Offer Price. We determined the offer price by estimating the liquidation proceeds that would be payable to limited partners if calculating a net equity value of units of limited partnership based on a valuation of your partnership's properties. Our starting point in this process was the value of your partnership's properties, as determined by the court-appointed, independent appraiser in 2003. For a more detailed description of the independent appraisals of your partnership's properties, see "The Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units; Estimated Liquidation Proceeds Based on Independent Appraisal." For Misty Woods Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $6,573,093, which is approximately 80% of its 2003 appraised value. We made this determination based on certain factors, including the following: - the property's loss rate of 18% as of July 2004 compared to a loss rate assumption of 10% by the appraiser; - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the property is located; and - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the property is located. For Sunrunner Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $7,200,000, which is equal to 100% of its 2003 appraised value. For Vinings Peak Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $13,204,666, which is approximately 85% of its 2003 appraised value. We made this determination based on certain factors, including the following: - the property's loss rate of 24% as of July 2004 compared to a loss rate assumption of 9% by the appraiser; - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the property is located; and - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the property is located. For Plantation Crossing Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $5,772,921, which is approximately 64% of its 2003 appraised value. We made this determination based on certain factors, including the following: - the property's loss rate of 20% as of July 2004 compared to a loss rate assumption of 10% by the appraiser; - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the property is located; and - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the property is located. For Wood Lake Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $12,800,000, which is equal to 100% of its 2003 appraised value. For Greenspoint Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $12,325,000, which is approximately 85% of its 2003 appraised value. We made this determination based on certain factors, including the following: - the property's loss rate of 27% as of July 2004 compared to a loss rate assumption of 14% by the appraiser; - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the property is located; and - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the property is located. 18 For Sandspoint Apartments, we assigned it a gross property value of $12,410,000, which is approximately 85% of its 2003 appraised value. We made this determination based on certain factors, including the following: - the property's loss rate of 28% as of July 2004 compared to a loss rate assumption of 15% by the appraiser; - our assessment of recent housing trends in the local market in which the property is located; and - our assessment of the general economic outlook for the area in which the property is located. We then deducted from the gross property values estimated prepayment penalties of $183,093 for Misty Woods Apartments, $828,008 for Sunrunner Apartments, $81,539 for Vinings Peak Apartments, $310,892 for Plantation Crossing Apartments, and $194,113 for Wood Lake Apartments to determine their net property values. The following table compares the appraised values of your partnership's properties to the net property values that we used to determine our offer price: <Table> <Caption> 2003 GROSS PREPAYMENT NET PROPERTY APPRAISED VALUE PROPERTY VALUE PENALTY PROPERTY VALUE -------- --------------- -------------- ---------- -------------- Misty Woods Apartments.......... $ 8,200,000 $ 6,573,093 $ 183,093 $ 6,390,000 Sunrunner Apartments............ $ 7,200,000 $ 7,200,000 $ 828,008 $ 6,371,992 Vinings Peak Apartments......... $15,500,000 $13,204,666 $ 81,539 $13,123,127 Plantation Crossing Apartments.................... $ 9,000,000 $ 5,772,921 $ 310,892 $ 5,462,029 Wood Lake Apartments............ $12,800,000 $12,800,000 $ 194,113 $12,605,887 Greenspoint Apartments.......... $14,500,000 $12,325,000 -- $12,325,000 Sandspoint Apartments........... $14,600,000 $12,410,000 -- $12,410,000 ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Total........................... $81,800,000 $70,285,680 $1,597,645 $68,688,035 =========== =========== ========== =========== </Table> The aggregate net property value for all your partnership's properties is $68,688,035. This is determined by aggregating the net property values of all properties. After determining the aggregate net property value, we then calculated a net equity value for your partnership based on such aggregate net property value by adding the value of the non-real estate assets of your partnership and deducting its liabilities, including the mortgage debt and debt owed by your partnership to the general partner or its affiliates. Finally, we allocated 98% of this net equity value to limited partners, which is the percentage of net proceeds that would be paid to limited partners in the event of a liquidation of your partnership. Our offer price represents the net equity value per unit determined in this manner as indicated below. <Table> Aggregate net property value of partnership properties...... $ 68,688,035 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents (net of tenant security deposits)................................................. 442,149 Plus: Other partnership assets.............................. 1,513,780 Less: Mortgage debt, including accrued interest.............

To assist holders of units in evaluating the offer, your general partner, which is our affiliate, has attempted to compare the offer price against: (a) prior cash tender offer prices, (b) prices at which the units have sold on the secondary market and (c) the estimated liquidation proceeds payable per unit, assuming a sale of properties at prices equal to appraised values determined by the independent appraiser in 2003. The general partner of your partnership believes that analyzing the alternatives in terms of estimated value, based upon currently available data and, where appropriate, reasonable assumptions made in good faith, establishes a reasonable framework for comparing alternatives. Since the value of the consideration for alternatives to the offer is dependent upon varying market conditions, no assurance can be given that the estimated values reflect the actual range of possible values. The results of these comparative analyses are summarized in the chart below. <Table> <Caption> COMPARISON TABLE PER UNIT ---------------- -------- Cash offer price............................................ $ 261.28 Alternatives Highest prior cash tender offer price..................... $ 243.00(1) Highest price on secondary market......................... $ 280.01(2) Estimated liquidation proceeds (based on 2003 appraised value)................................................. $ 390.24 </Table> --------------- (1) Highest price offered in our 2002-2004 tender offers to date.

On December 30, 2003, we completed a tender offer commenced on November 12, 2003. We acquired 1,628 units in that offer at a price of $104.89 per unit. In that case, we determined the offer price using the same valuation methodology that we have used for the current offer. In that case, we determined our offer price by estimating the net equity value of limited partnership units based on our valuation of your partnership's properties using principally the direct capitalization method. 2002. On June 25, 2002, we completed a tender offer commenced on May 7, 2002. We acquired 1,820 units in that offer at a price of $243.00 per unit. In that case, we determined the offer price using the same valuation methodology that we have used for the current offer. In that case, we determined our offer price by estimating the net equity value of limited partnership units based on our valuation of your partnership's properties using principally the direct capitalization method. Prices on Secondary Market. Secondary market sales information is not a reliable measure of value because of the limited amount of any known trades. Except for offers made by us and unaffiliated third parties, privately negotiated sales and sales through intermediaries are the only means which may be available to a limited partner to liquidate an investment in units (other than our offer) because the units are not listed or traded on any exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, on the Electronic Bulletin Board, or in "pink sheets." Secondary sales activity for the units, including privately negotiated sales, has been limited and sporadic. Set forth below are the high and low sale prices of units during the year ending December 31, 2004 (through November 30) and the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, as reported by Direct Investments Spectrum (formerly known as The Partnership Sprectrum), which is an independent, third-party source. The gross sales prices reported by Direct Investments Spectrum do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received by sellers of units, which typically are reduced by commissions and other secondary market transaction costs to amounts less than the reported price. Direct Investments Spectrum represents only one source of secondary sales information, and other services may contain prices for the units that equal or exceed the sales prices reported by Direct Investments Spectrum. We do not know whether the information compiled by Direct Investments Spectrum is accurate or complete. 20 SALES PRICES OF PARTNERSHIP UNITS, AS REPORTED BY DIRECT INVESTMENTS SPECTRUM <Table> <Caption> HIGH LOW ------- ------- Year Ending December 31, 2004 (through November 30): $227.52 $143.00 Year Ended December 31, 2003: $300.00 $242.85 Year Ended December 31, 2002: $270.00 $270.00 </Table> Set forth in the table below are the high and low sales prices of units during the year ending December 31, 2004 (through November 30) and the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, as reported by the American Partnership Board, which is an independent, third-party source.

In 2003, under the terms of the settlement of the Nuanes and Heller litigation, your partnership's properties were appraised by American Appraisal Associates, Inc. ("AAA"), an independent appraiser appointed by the court. Under the terms of the settlement, the independent appraiser was required to provide in writing its professional opinion as to the market value of each of the partnership's properties describing the methodologies used and other information which the appraiser deemed appropriate to support or explain its work. The appraiser was also required to prepare an executive summary of each appraisal that included all material information. As the appraiser was court-appointed, no special valuation instructions were given to the appraiser by the partnership, us or our affiliates. The information set forth below was provided to us by AAA with respect to its appraisals. AAA is an experienced independent valuation consulting firm with more than 50 offices on four continents. AAA provides valuation and consulting services for the real estate industry through its specialized industry focus and operates through a team of professionals with different economical, financial, statistical, legal, architectural, urban and engineering knowledge and expertise. Factors Considered. AAA performed complete appraisals of all of your partnership's properties. AAA has represented that its report was prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Practice of the Appraisal Institute. We furnished the appraiser with all of the necessary information requested by AAA in connection with the appraisal. The information furnished to the appraiser was true, correct and complete in all material respects. No limitations were imposed on AAA by us or any of our affiliates. In preparing its valuation of your partnership property, AAA: - inspected and analyzed the exterior of all buildings and site improvements and a representative sample of units; 21 - conducted neighborhood and area research, including major employers, demographics (population trends, number of households, and income trends), housing trends, surrounding uses, and general economic outlook of the area; - conducted market research of rental inventory, historical vacancy rates, historical average rental rates, occupancy trends, concessions, and marketing strategies in the submarket, and occupancy rates at competing properties; - reviewed leasing policy, concessions and history of recent occupancy; - reviewed the historical operating statements for your partnership's property and an operating budget forecast for 2003; - prepared an estimate of stabilized income and expense (for capitalization purposes); - conducted market inquiries into recent sales of similar properties to ascertain sales price per unit, effective gross income multipliers and capitalization rates; and - prepared sales comparison and income capitalization approaches to value. AAA was provided by us with the following management budgets for your partnership's property: <Table> <Caption> GREENSPOINT MISTY WOODS PLANTATION CROSSING SANDS POINT FISCAL YEAR 2003 FISCAL YEAR 2003 FISCAL YEAR 2003 FISCAL YEAR 2003 MANAGEMENT BUDGET MANAGEMENT BUDGET MANAGEMENT BUDGET MANAGEMENT BUDGET --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- DESCRIPTION TOTAL PER UNIT TOTAL PER UNIT TOTAL PER UNIT TOTAL PER UNIT ----------- ---------- -------- ---------- -------- ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Revenues Rental Income............ $2,664,000 $7,929 $1,574,496 $6,906 $1,494,000 $8,300 $3,006,687 $6,976 Vacancy.................. 247,500 737 121,829 534 120,000 667 353,500 820 Credit Loss/Concessions....... 117,500 350 42,000 184 55,500 308 128,480 298 Subtotal............... $ 365,000 $1,086 $ 163,829 $ 719 $ 175,500 $ 975 $ 481,980 $1,118 Laundry Income........... $ 18,000 $ 54 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 Garage Revenue........... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Misc.

A MANAGEMENT BUDGET DOES NOT REFLECT A PROPERTY'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE, OR CHANGES IN THE CONDITION OF A PROPERTY, IN THE LOCAL AREA SURROUNDING A PROPERTY OR IN THE ECONOMY IN GENERAL. Summary of Approaches and Methodologies Employed. The following summary describes the material approaches and analyses employed by AAA in preparing the appraisals. The partnership imposed no conditions or limitations on the scope of AAA's investigation or the methods and procedures to be followed in preparing the appraisal. AAA principally relied on two approaches to valuation: (1) the sales comparison approach and (2) the income capitalization approach. The sales comparison approach uses analysis techniques and sales of comparable improved properties in surrounding or competing areas to derive units of comparison that are then used to indicate a value for the subject property. Under this approach, the primary methods of analysis used by the appraiser were: 22 (1) sales price per unit analysis; (2) net operating income analysis; and (3) effective gross income analysis. The purpose of the income capitalization approach is to value an income-producing property by analyzing likely future income and expenses of the property over a reasonable holding period. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive property value. The direct capitalization analysis determines the value of a property by applying a capitalization rate that takes into account all of the factors influencing the value of such property to the net operating income of such property for a single year. The direct capitalization method is normally more appropriate for properties with relatively stable operating histories and expectations. The discounted cash flow analysis determines the value of a property by discounting to present value the estimated operating cash flow of such property and the estimated proceeds of a hypothetical sale of such property at the end of an assumed holding period. The discounted cash flow method is more appropriate for the analysis of investment properties with multiple or long-term leases, particularly leases with cancellation clauses or renewal options. It is especially useful for multi-tenant properties in volatile markets. AAA relied principally on the income capitalization approach to valuation and secondarily on the sales comparison approach. Although the sales comparison approach is considered a reliable method for valuing property, the income capitalization approach is the primary approach used for valuing income producing property, such as your partnership's property. Summary of Independent Appraisals of Your Partnership's Properties. AAA performed complete appraisals of all of your partnership's properties. The summary set forth below describes the material conclusions reached by AAA based on the values determined under the valuation approaches and subject to the assumptions and limitations described below. The estimated total "as is" market value of the fee simple estate of your partnership's properties is $81,800,000, which was determined by adding the estimated values determined by AAA for each of your partnership's properties and which is higher than our estimate of the aggregate net property value of $68,688,035. GREENSPOINT Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Greenspoint that were sold between April 2002 and February 2003 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of three comparable properties as superior, one comparable property as comparable and one comparable property as inferior to the location of Greenspoint. AAA rated the quality/appeal of two comparable properties as superior and three comparable properties as inferior to the quality/appeal of Greenspoint. AAA rated the amenities of two comparable properties as superior, two comparable properties as comparable and one comparable property as inferior to the amenities of Greenspoint. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Greenspoint in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $42,158 to $46,734 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $44,392 per unit and a median adjusted price of $44,828 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $44,000 sales price per unit for the 336 units was approximately $14,500,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Greenspoint's NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $39,234 and $54,491 per unit, with an average of $47,163 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $45,000 per unit for the 336 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $14,800,000 using the NOI analysis after adjustment for present value of concessions. 23 AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Greenspoint to be 43.35% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from 32.54% to 45.35%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 6.73 to 7.47. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 6.00 for Greenspoint, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $14,600,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $14,500,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $14,800,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $14,600,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Greenspoint under the sales comparison approach was $14,600,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Greenspoint. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Greenspoint's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $2,475,218. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Greenspoint of approximately $1,318,257. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Greenspoint under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 14%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.00%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 9.50%; (5) discount rate of 12.00%; (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $299,000. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $14,400,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 41% of the value. 24 Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.00%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $14,300,000 after adjustments for present value of concessions. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Greenspoint was $14,400,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $14,600,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $14,400,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Greenspoint of $14,500,000 as of May 6, 2003. MISTY WOODS APARTMENTS Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Misty Woods Apartments that were sold between November 2000 and December 2002 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of five comparable properties as superior to the location of Misty Woods Apartments. AAA rated the quality/ appeal of five comparable properties as comparable to the quality/appeal of Misty Woods Apartments. AAA rated the amenities of five comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Misty Woods Apartments. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Misty Woods Apartments in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $32,889 to $41,233 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $37,397 per unit and a median adjusted price of $37,816 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $37,500 sales price per unit for the 228 units was approximately $8,300,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Misty Woods Apartments' NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $30,031 and $40,591 per unit, with an average of $34,876 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $35,000 per unit for the 228 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $7,700,000 using the NOI analysis after adjustment for present value of concessions. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Misty Woods Apartments to be 46.78% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from 40.38% to 44.51%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 5.09 to 6.48. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 5.25 for Misty Woods Apartments, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $8,100,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $8,300,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $7,700,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $8,100,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Misty Woods Apartments under the sales comparison approach was $8,100,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. 25 Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Misty Woods Apartments. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Misty Woods Apartments' effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $1,596,142. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Misty Woods Apartments of approximately $792,435. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Misty Woods Apartments under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 10%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.50%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 10.25%; (5) discount rate of 11.25%; (6) 3.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $247,000. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $8,500,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 40% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.50%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $8,100,000 after adjustments for present value of concessions. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Misty Woods Apartments was $8,300,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $8,100,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $8,300,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Misty Woods Apartments of $8,200,000 as of May 13, 2003. 26 PLANTATION CROSSING Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared four apartment complexes with Plantation Crossing that were sold between March 2000 and March 2001 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of two comparable properties as superior and two comparable properties as inferior to the location of Plantation Crossing. AAA rated the quality/appeal of two comparable properties as superior, one comparable property as comparable and one comparable property as inferior to the quality/appeal of Plantation Crossing. AAA rated the amenities of four comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Plantation Crossing. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Plantation Crossing in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $43,876 to $55,366 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $49,958 per unit and a median adjusted price of $50,296 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $50,000 sales price per unit for the 180 units was approximately $9,000,000. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Plantation Crossing's NOI to the NOI of the four comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $38,288 and $53,819 per unit, with an average of $45,579 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $50,000 per unit for the 180 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $9,000,000 using the NOI analysis. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Plantation Crossing to be 45.05% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the four comparable properties ranging from 31.10% to 46.58%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 4.60 to 7.40. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 6.00 for Plantation Crossing, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $9,200,000. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $9,000,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $9,000,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $9,200,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Plantation Crossing under the sales comparison approach was $9,000,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Plantation Crossing. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Plantation Crossing's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $1,537,164. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Plantation Crossing of approximately $799,706. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization 27 rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Plantation Crossing under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 10%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.00%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 9.75%; (5) discount rate of 11.25%; (6) 3.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. No adjustment was made for concessions. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $9,200,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 40% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.00%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $8,900,000. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Plantation Crossing was $9,000,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $9,000,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $9,000,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Plantation Crossing of $9,000,000 as of May 2, 2003. SANDS POINT Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Sands Point that were sold between April 2002 and February 2003 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of four comparable properties as superior and one comparable property as inferior to the location of Sands Point. AAA rated the quality/ appeal of three comparable properties as superior, one comparable property as comparable and one comparable property as inferior to the quality/appeal of Sands Point. AAA rated the amenities of four comparable properties as superior and one comparable property as inferior to the amenities of Sands Point. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Sands Point in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $32,354 to $35,862 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $34,862 per unit and a median adjusted price of $35,326 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $35,000 sales price per unit for the 431 units was approximately $14,700,000 after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. 28 AAA compared Sands Point's NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $31,011 and $43,072 per unit, with an average of $37,279 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $35,000 per unit for the 431 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $14,700,000 using the NOI analysis after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Sands Point to be 47.49% before reserves, with the expense ratios of two comparable properties ranging from 32.54% to 45.35%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 6.73 to 7.47. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 5.5 for Sands Point, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $14,700,000 after adjustment for lease-up costs and present value of concessions. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $14,700,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $14,700,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $14,700,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Sands Point under the sales comparison approach was $14,700,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Sands Point. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Sands Point's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $2,750,755. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Sands Point of approximately $1,336,595. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Sands Point under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 15%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.00%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 9.50%; (5) discount rate of 12.00%; (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. 29 An adjustment was made for lease-up costs because Sands Point's occupancy level was below a stabilized occupancy projection Thus, AAA assumed a 12-month lease up period. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $222,000. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $14,500,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 41% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.00%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $14,500,000 after adjustments for lease-up costs and present value of concessions. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Sands Point was $14,500,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $14,700,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $14,500,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Sands Point of $14,600,000 as of May 6, 2003. SUNRUNNER Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Sunrunner that were sold between June 2000 and July 2002 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of five comparable properties as inferior to the location of Sunrunner. AAA rated the quality/appeal of five comparable properties as comparable to the quality/appeal of Sunrunner. AAA rated the amenities of five comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Sunrunner. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Sunrunner in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $31,500 to $39,096 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $35,052 per unit and a median adjusted price of $35,084 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $35,000 sales price per unit for the 200 units was approximately $7,000,000. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Sunrunner's NOI to the NOI of the four comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $35,236 and $38,387 per unit, with an average of $37,280 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $36,000 per unit for the 200 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $7,200,000 using the NOI analysis. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Sunrunner to be 47.18% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the four comparable properties ranging from 44.90% to 61.84%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 4.02 to 5.69. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 4.75 for Sunrunner, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $7,000,000. 30 AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $7,000,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $7,200,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $7,000,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Sunrunner under the sales comparison approach was $7,000,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Sunrunner. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Sunrunner's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $1,465,312. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Sunrunner of approximately $724,046. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Sunrunner under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 10%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.75%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 10.50%; (5) discount rate of 12.00%; (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. No adjustment was made for concessions. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $7,300,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 36% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.75%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $7,400,000. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Sunrunner was $7,300,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $7,000,000 and the estimated market value under 31 the income capitalization approach was $7,300,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Sunrunner of $7,200,000 as of May 14, 2003. VININGS PEAK Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Vinings Peak that were sold between February 2001 and March 2003 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of one comparable property as superior, one comparable property as comparable and three comparable properties as inferior to the location of Vinings Peak. AAA rated the quality/appeal of three comparable properties as comparable and two comparable properties as inferior to the quality/appeal of Vinings Peak. AAA rated the amenities of all five comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Vinings Peak. AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Vinings Peak in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $54,926 to $78,194 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $62,007 per unit and a median adjusted price of $58,105 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $58,000 sales price per unit for the 280 units was approximately $16,000,000 after adjustment for a new leasing office and present value of concessions. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Vinings Peak's NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $46,426 and $59,931 per unit, with an average of $54,425 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $55,000 per unit for the 280 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $15,200,000 using the NOI analysis after adjustment for a new leasing office and present value of concessions. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Vinings Peak to be 38.06% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from 27.76% to 46.35%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 5.91 to 6.89. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 6.50 for Vinings Peak, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $15,200,000 after adjustment for a new leasing office and present value of concessions. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $16,000,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $15,200,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $15,200,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Vinings Peak under the sales comparison approach was $15,500,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Vinings Peak. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Vinings Peak's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and 32 collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $2,370,768. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Vinings Peak of approximately $1,398,510. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Vinings Peak under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 9%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.00%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 9.50%; (5) discount rate of 11.00%; (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $128,000. An adjustment of $100,000 was made for a new leasing office. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $15,700,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 41% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.00%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $15,300,000 after adjustments for a new leasing office and present value of concessions. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Vinings Peak was $15,500,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $15,500,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $15,500,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Vinings Peak of $15,500,000 as of May 20, 2003. WOOD LAKE Valuation Under Sales Comparison Approach. AAA compared five apartment complexes with Wood Lake that were sold between February 2001 and March 2003 and located in the property's real estate market area. Based on its qualitative analysis, AAA rated the locations of one comparable property as superior, one comparable property as comparable and three comparable properties as inferior to the location of Wood Lake. AAA rated the quality/appeal of three comparable properties as comparable and two comparable properties as inferior to the quality/appeal of Wood Lake. AAA rated the amenities of all five comparable properties as comparable to the amenities of Wood Lake. 33 AAA made adjustments to the sales price per unit of each comparable property to reflect differences from Wood Lake in location, number of units, quality/appeal, age/condition, occupancy at sale, amenities and average unit size. Based on the available data, AAA concluded a value range of $54,926 to $78,194 per unit with a mean or average adjusted price of $62,991 per unit and a median adjusted price of $60,526 per unit. Thus, the estimated value based on a $60,000 sales price per unit for the 220 units was approximately $13,100,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. As part of the sales comparison approach, AAA also conducted a net operating income ("NOI") analysis. NOI effectively takes into account the various physical, location and operating aspects of the sale. AAA compared Wood Lake's NOI to the NOI of the five comparable properties and arrived at a percentage adjustment. After applying the percentage adjustment to the sales price per unit of each comparable property, the range of value was between $48,370 and $62,441 per unit, with an average of $54,621 per unit. The appraiser concluded a value of $55,000 per unit for the 220 units of the property, resulting in an estimated "as is" market value of $12,000,000 using the NOI analysis after adjustment for present value of concessions. AAA also performed an effective gross income multiplier ("EGIM") analysis. The EGIM measures the relationship between the sales price of a property and its effective gross income, which is the total annual income that a property would produce after an allowance for vacancy and credit loss. AAA estimated the operating expense ratio ("OER") of Wood Lake to be 37.73% before reserves, with the expense ratios of the five comparable properties ranging from 27.76% to 46.35%, resulting in EGIMs ranging from 5.91 to 6.89. Thus, AAA concluded an EGIM of 6.45 for Wood Lake, and applied the EGIM to the stabilized effective gross income for the property (see Income Approach section below), resulting in a value conclusion of approximately $12,300,000 after adjustment for present value of concessions. AAA estimated the value using the price per unit analysis at $13,100,000, the value using the NOI analysis at $12,000,000 and the value using the EGIM analysis at $12,300,000. Based on these three valuation methods, AAA concluded that the reconciled value for Wood Lake under the sales comparison approach was $12,500,000. AAA assumed a marketing and exposure period of 6 to 12 months. Valuation Under Income Capitalization Approach. Under the income capitalization approach, AAA performed: (1) a direct capitalization analysis and (2) a discounted cash flow analysis to derive a value for Wood Lake. AAA first utilized a discounted cash flow method to analyze the value of the property. Under this method, anticipated future cash flow and a reversionary value are discounted at an appropriate rate of return to arrive at an estimate of present value. AAA also employed a direct capitalization analysis on the property by dividing a forecast of net operating income ("NOI") by an appropriate capitalization rate. AAA performed a market rent analysis for the property to derive a projected rental income. The analysis included both a review of the subject's current asking and actual rent rates as well as a comparison with comparable apartment properties. AAA calculated Wood Lake's effective gross income ("EGI") by adding apartment rental collections to other income and then making an adjustment for vacancy and collection loss. Under this analysis, AAA arrived at an EGI of $1,926,928. Once the EGI was established, operating expenses were deducted from the EGI in order to arrive at an NOI for Wood Lake of approximately $1,144,841. AAA performed a pro forma analysis of revenue and expenses for the property to derive the subject's stabilized NOI. AAA relied on the subject's historical and budgeted income and expenses for this estimate. AAA derived appropriate investment criteria, including an overall capitalization rate, terminal capitalization rate and a discount rate based upon analysis of comparable sales and a survey of real estate investors. The assumptions employed by AAA to determine the value of Wood Lake under the income approach included: (1) stabilized vacancy and collection loss rate of 9%; (2) replacement reserve of $250 per unit; 34 (3) overall capitalization rate of 9.00%; (4) terminal capitalization rate of 9.50%; (5) discount rate of 11.00%; (6) 2.00% cost of sale at reversion; and (7) holding period of 10 years. No adjustment was made for lease-up costs because the property was near or at a stabilized condition. An adjustment was made for concessions due to soft market conditions, and AAA estimated the present value of concessions to be $104,000. Based on these assumptions, AAA's estimate of cash flows for a 10-year period resulted in an indicated value of $12,900,000 through the discounted cash flow method. The reversion value contributed approximately 41% of the value. Under the direct capitalization method, utilizing a capitalization rate of 9.00%, the projected NOI resulted in a value (after rounding) of $12,600,000 after adjustments for present value of concessions. Using the income capitalization approach, AAA determined on an as-is basis that the direct capitalization method and the discounted cash flow method indicated the value for Wood Lake was $12,800,000. Reconciliation of Values and Conclusions of Appraisal. The final step in the appraisal process was to reconcile the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach values to arrive at a final value conclusion. The reconciliation of the two approaches involved weighing the valuation techniques in relation to their substantiation by market and other sources of data, the relativity and applicability of the approaches to the property type, and the purpose of the valuation. AAA concluded that the estimated market value under the sales comparison approach was $12,500,000 and the estimated market value under the income capitalization approach was $12,800,000. After reconciling the various factors, AAA determined a final "as is" market value for Wood Lake of $12,800,000 as of May 20, 2003. Assumptions, Limitations and Qualifications of AAA's Valuation. In preparing the appraisal, AAA relied, without independent verification, on the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to it by or on behalf of the partnership. In arriving at the appraisal, AAA assumed: - good and marketable title to the property; - validity of owner's claim to the property; - no encumbrances which could not be cleared through normal processes, unless otherwise stated; - accuracy of land areas and descriptions obtained from public records; - no subsurface mineral and use rights or conditions; - no substances such as asbestos, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation, other chemicals, toxic wastes, or other potentially hazardous materials in existence or present on or in the property; - full compliance with applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws, unless otherwise stated, defined and considered; - possession of all required licenses, consents, or other legislative or administrative authority from any local, state, or national government or private entity organization and that the renewal of these items is possible; - compliance with all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions, unless a nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered; - utilization of the land and improvements within property boundaries and no encroachment or trespass of the improvements, unless otherwise stated; 35 - the structural integrity of the property including its conformity to specific governmental code requirements, such as fire, building and safety, earthquake, and occupancy, or any physical defects not readily apparent during inspection; and - compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992. Compensation of Appraiser. AAA was appointed by the court to perform all the real estate appraisals in connection with the settlement relating to the Nuanes and Heller litigation. AAA was paid a fee of $619,100 for the appraisals. We paid 50% of the costs of the appraisals, with the other 50% paid from the settlement fund. AAA has conducted other appraisals of property in connection with the other offers made pursuant to the settlement agreement. Other than the appraisals performed in connection with the settlement agreement, during the prior two years, no material relationship has existed between AAA and your partnership or any of its affiliates, including the AIMCO Entities. Availability of Appraisal Reports. You may obtain a full copy of AAA's appraisals upon request, without charge, by contacting the Information Agent at one of the addresses or the telephone number on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Copies of the appraisal for the property are also available for inspection and copying at the principal executive offices of the partnership during regular business hours by any interested unitholder or his or her designated representative at his or her cost. In estimating the net liquidation proceeds that would be payable per unit based on the total appraised value of your partnership's properties, we applied the same basic methodology as described under "Valuation of Units", except that we did not deduct any amounts that were already deducted from and reflected in the total appraised value. We deducted from the total appraised value of your partnership's properties ($81,800,000) total estimated prepayment penalties of $1,597,645 to determine the net appraised value of $80,202,355. As indicated below, based on the total appraised value of the partnership properties, the estimated net liquidation proceeds per unit is $390.24, which is higher than our offer price of $261.28. <Table> Net appraised value of partnership properties............... $ 80,202,355 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents (net of tenant security deposits)................................................. 442,149 Plus: Other partnership assets.............................. 1,513,780 Less: Mortgage debt, including accrued interest.............

THE LAWSUIT AND THE SETTLEMENT BACKGROUND In March 1998, holders of limited partnership units in the partnerships managed by affiliates of Insignia Financial Group (collectively, "Insignia") 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 "Court"). The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, your partnership, its general partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities, as well as AIMCO, who had announced a merger with Insignia. The action originally asserted claims on 36 behalf of a putative class of limited partners in over 50 limited partnerships, including your partnership (collectively, the "Partnerships") and derivatively on behalf of those same Partnerships (which are named as nominal defendants) challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain general partner entities by Insignia; past tender offers by Insignia to acquire limited partnership units; Insignia's management of the Partnerships; 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 (hereinafter, the "Insignia Merger"). PROCEDURAL HISTORY On June 25, 1998, your general partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The general partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard in 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 your 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 general partner and its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiffs' lead and liaison counsel who negotiated the proposed settlement on behalf of plaintiffs. On June 27, 2000, the Court entered an order disqualifying them from the case. An appeal was taken from part of the June 27, 2000 order on October 5, 2000. Subsequently, certain plaintiffs, specifically, BEJ Equity Partners and J-B Investment Partners, withdrew as plaintiffs. 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 and the general partner and its affiliates filed a demurrer to the third amended complaint. On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer. Among other things, the Court sustained defendants' demurrer without leave to amend as to those derivative claims involving partnerships in which the named plaintiffs did not own an interest. The Court subsequently denied plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. The fourth amended complaint was filed on September 7, 2001. It was brought by plaintiffs who owned interests in four of the Partnerships. Plaintiffs Jeffrey Homburger, Sean O'Reilly and Norman and Doris Rosenberg formally withdrew from the case on August 20, 2001. The general partner and affiliated defendants filed a demurrer to the fourth amended complaint, which the Court granted in part on January 28, 2002. The Court dismissed without leave to amend plaintiffs' state securities fraud claim under California's Corporate Code Section 25400(b), plaintiffs' contract claim arising out of the partnership agreements, plaintiffs' derivative claim for statutory unfair competition as to those partnerships in which plaintiffs lack representation, plaintiffs' conversion claim and plaintiffs' claim under California's Corporation Code Section 15636. Only some of the remaining claims in the fourth amended complaint relate to the partnership. Plaintiffs alleged that affiliates of the general partner have issued false and misleading tender offers beginning in 1998 and continuing through to the present for units in the partnership. Plaintiffs allege violations of state securities fraud statutes and common law fraud against both AIMCO and Insignia. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that the tender offers have been misleading because they failed to disclose: - that third parties would not use a property's historical income, but would instead use a property's projected income, in calculating a property's value based on the capitalization method. 37 - that the property income figures used in the capitalization method were artificially lower because AIMCO charges management fees allegedly in excess of the market. - that AIMCO allegedly deducted all capital expenditures from property income despite an alleged AIMCO policy of deducting only $250 to $300 per apartment unit. - the rating for the condition of each property, any adjustment made to the capitalization rate as a result, the interest rate on mortgage debt for each property and any corresponding adjustments in the capitalization rates. - that AIMCO allegedly negotiated lower capitalization rates for valuing properties it owns in connection with a revolving credit facility. - that AIMCO failed to disclose that the valuation methods and/or policies it used for its own business purposes allegedly differ from those used in the tender offers. - internal valuations of the properties it used in connection with the Insignia merger or the capitalization rates used in connection with those valuations. Plaintiffs alleged that the general partner breached its fiduciary duty by assisting Insignia and AIMCO in making the tender offers by providing financial information, failing to correct supposedly misleading information given to unitholders, recommending that the prices offered were fair and preventing third parties from making tender offers. Plaintiffs have also included a statutory unfair competition claim against all the defendants, a claim for tortious interference with contract, unjust enrichment and judicial dissolution. THE HELLER COMPLAINT During the third quarter of 2001, a complaint was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Heller action"). The Heller complaint was filed in order to preserve derivative claims that were dismissed without leave to amend in the Nuanes action by the Court's July 10, 2001 order. The first amended complaint in 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. On January 28, 2002, however, the Court, on motion by the general partner and its affiliates, struck the Heller complaint as a violation of its July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes action. On March 27, 2002, plaintiffs in the Heller action filed a notice of appeal of the Court's January 28, 2002 order striking the complaint. THE SETTLEMENT OF THE NUANES AND HELLER COMPLAINTS On December 20, 2002, the parties to the above-entitled litigation executed a Stipulation of Settlement of the two actions. That settlement was the result of over one year of negotiations and the involvement of two separate settlement judges. Class counsel and defendants' counsel first met with the Honorable William J. Cahill, Retired California Superior Court Judge, on two separate occasions. Counsel also met on four separate occasions with the Honorable Margaret J. Kemp, California Superior Court Judge, before reaching a settlement in principle. The parties initially met with Judge Cahill on two occasions in the fall of 2000, but were ultimately unsuccessful in reaching a definitive settlement agreement. At the Court's direction, they renewed formal settlement discussions before Judge Kemp. The parties first attended a settlement conference before Judge Kemp in September or October 2002 and then subsequently met with her on October 28, 2002, November 26, 2002 and December 2, 2002. The parties reached final agreement on the material terms of the settlement at the last settlement conference with Judge Kemp on December 2, 2002 and put the terms of that agreement on the record in open court. In each of the conferences described above, counsel from Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP, Farella Braun & Martel LLP & Berman Devalerio Pease & Tobacco attended on behalf of the named plaintiffs and the putative settlement class; counsel from Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP attended on behalf of AIMCO and its affiliated entities, including your general partner, and Orrick 38 Herrington & Sutcliffe attended on behalf of the remaining defendants. Former AIMCO Executive Vice President Patrick Foye also attended each of these meetings. Mr. Vincent Gresham of the Law Offices of Vincent Gresham also participated on behalf of plaintiffs and the putative settlement class in those settlement discussions before the Hon. Cahill, Retired. At these meetings, discussions included possible transactions that could provide liquidity to investors and form the basis of a settlement, the use of a settlement fund and the amount of such fund, the timing and distribution of any settlement fund, selection and use of an appraiser and disclosures that would accompany any contemplated transaction(s). The participants considered but ultimately rejected a merger or roll-up of the various partnerships as possible alternatives to cash tender offers. The parties ultimately concluded, however, that a merger or roll-up could be potentially complicated and time consuming and that a cash tender offer would be a less coercive form of providing liquidity to those investors who desired it. The Settlement Agreement requires each tender offer to attach executive summaries of partnership property appraisals commissioned specifically for the settlement tender offers and to provide an explanation of how the appraised values of the properties compare to the per Unit price(s) being offered. It also requires the payment of an allocable portion of the settlement fund for each unit tendered pursuant to the settlement fund, details the scope of the release and covenants not to sue which will bind class members, requires that tender offers be made no more than one year after final approval of the settlement and imposes certain restrictions on the length of time in which the tender offers can remain open, as well as with regard to other disclosures made therein. On April 4, 2003, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and, on June 13, 2003, entered an order finally approving the settlement and dismissing both the Heller and Nuanes litigation with prejudice. On August 12, 2003, an objector filed an appeal of the court's order approving the settlement and is seeking to reverse or vacate the Court's order and the judgment entered thereto. On November 24, 2003, the objector appealing the settlement and judgment entered thereto filed an application requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw the settlement tender offers, refrain from making further offers pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third parties. The objector contended that our prior offers did not conform with the terms of the Settlement. Alternatively, counsel for the objector has requested the Court on behalf of a settlement class member to order AIMCO to pay all non-tendering settlement class members their pro rata share of the Settlement Fund whether or not the settlement and judgment entered thereto is vacated on appeal and to notify settlement class members that the releases and covenant not to sue are not binding unless the settlement and judgment entered thereto is affirmed on appeal. On December 18, 2003, the Court heard oral argument on the applications brought on behalf of the objector and denied them in their entirety. On February 23, 2004, an appeal was also taken from certain portions of the Court's December 2003 orders denying injunctive relief in connection with the settlement offers and assessing fees against objector's counsel for the Court's use of a referee. Both appeals have been fully briefed and argued and the parties are waiting for a decision from the Court of Appeals. Under the terms of the settlement, we made cash tender offers for all outstanding limited partnership interests in your partnership and 40 other partnerships (the "Tender Offer Partnerships") and accompanied each of those offers with executive summaries of appraisals of partnership properties prepared by an independent appraiser appointed by the Court. Our affiliate paid 50% of the costs of the appraisals, with the other 50% paid from the settlement fund. The appraiser was paid $619,100 for the appraisals. Under the settlement, we had the option of making a second round of tender offers (in our sole and absolute discretion) to purchase all remaining outstanding limited partnership interests, at the same price, or at a higher or lower price, within 18 months of the order finally approving the settlement. In November and December 2004, we commenced a second round of cash tender offers for all outstanding limited partnership units in 14 Tender Offer Partnerships. That 18-month period has expired, and this offer does not constitute one of the second round of tender offers. In addition, as part of the settlement, we agreed to create a settlement fund for the benefit of settlement class members in the principal amount of $9.9 million. The settlement class members consist of all limited partners in the Tender Offer Partnerships, including your partnership, who owned units as of December 20, 2002, and who did not validly request exclusion from the settlement.

(2) Excludes units owned by AIMCO and its affiliates and other limited partners who have requested exclusion from the settlement class. (3) Determined, for each partnership, by multiplying the amount of revenue (column (B)) by the percentage of outstanding units held by members of the settlement class (column (C)). (4) Determined, for each partnership, by dividing the amount of adjusted revenue (column (D)) by the total amount of adjusted revenue for all partnerships. The amount allocated to a Tender Offer Partnership was then divided by the total number of outstanding units owned by settlement class members in such Tender Offer Partnership (excluding units held by us and our affiliates), and the resulting amount was included in the offer price for units in that Tender Offer Partnership. For each unit validly tendered in the offers and accepted by us, an amount equal to the portion of the settlement fund included in the per unit offer price was deducted from the settlement fund and paid to us (other than units tendered by limited partners who have requested exclusion from the settlement class). All limited partners who tendered their units in response to the offers received the same price per unit, including those persons who may have requested exclusion from the settlement class. Any balance remaining will be paid to settlement class members who have retained any units based on the allocation method used in the litigation settlement offers, provided that the Court's order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto is affirmed on appeal and is final. If the Court's order is reversed or vacated by virtue of the appeal, however, you will not be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the settlement fund. The general partners of the Tender Offer Partnerships have also agreed, as part of the settlement, to waive their right to seek reimbursement and/or indemnification for the full amount of fees and costs incurred in the defense of the class and derivative litigation; provided, however, that they may charge fees and costs to your partnership and the other partnerships involved in the litigation in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 (which is approximately 50% of the outstanding fees and costs). In consideration for the terms described above, plaintiffs and settlement class members agreed, among other things, to dismiss the Nuanes action and the Heller action with prejudice, release the defendants from all liability with respect to all claims and causes of action, whether brought individually, on behalf of a class, or derivatively, whether known or unknown, that have been asserted or that could have been asserted that arise out of or relate to (i) those matters and claims set forth in the complaints in the Heller and Nuanes actions, (ii) ownership of one or more units in any of the Tender Offer Partnerships, (iii) the purchase, acquisition, holding, sale, tender or voting of one or more units in any of the Tender Offer Partnerships, and (iv) any of the facts, circumstances, allegations, claims, causes of action, representations, statements, reports, disclosures, transactions, events, occurrences, acts, omissions or failures to act, of whatever kind or character whatsoever, irrespective of the state of mind of the actor performing or 41 omitting to perform the same, that have been or could have been alleged in any pleadings, amended pleading, argument, complaint, amended complaint, brief, motion, report or filing in either the Nuanes action or the Heller action, provided, however, that the released claims are not intended to include any unrelated claims that are unique to a particular settlement class member (e.g., a settlement class member slips and falls on property owned by one of our affiliates, loses or did not receive a distribution check distributed to other limited partners in your partnership, or is an employee and has an employee related claim). Settlement class members also covenanted and agreed not to bring any action, claim, suit, or proceeding against any of the defendants in the class and derivative litigation that concerns any of the matters which are the subject of the settlement and that the stipulation of settlement will act as a bar to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding. The plaintiffs and settlement class members also agreed that they would not oppose a request that the Court withdraw the finding regarding Robert A. Stanger & Co. made in the June 27, 2000 order disqualifying lead and liaison counsel. Under the terms of the settlement, neither we nor our affiliates admit to any wrongdoing, and we deny liability under all claims brought in the litigation. The final settlement of the lawsuit is the product of good faith, arm's length negotiations between settlement class counsel and counsel for the defendants. These negotiations resulted in the settlement set forth in the Stipulation. 10. INFORMATION CONCERNING US AND CERTAIN OF OUR AFFILIATES General.

The presentation of the statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 has also been modified to conform with this new format. These presentation changes do not affect the accounting treatment of amounts reported, only their classification within the statement of income. (2) Certain reclassifications have been made to real estate, net of accumulated depreciation, total assets and total indebtedness in the 2003 balance sheet to conform to presentation changes made in AIMCO 44 Properties' Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. These reclassifications primarily represent changes related to certain intercompany eliminations and the treatment of discontinued operations. (3) Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 and 2001 amounts to conform to the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications primarily represent presentation changes related to discontinued operations resulting from the 2002 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144. The amounts reported for 2003 (except for Real estate, net of accumulated depreciation, Total assets and Total indebtedness), 2002 and 2001 are from the audited financial statements in AIMCO Properties' Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2003 and have not been reclassified for discontinued operations throughout 2004. (4) Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a financial measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, that we believe, when considered with the financial data determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, gains on dispositions of depreciable real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, gains on dispositions of real estate from discontinued operations, net of related income taxes, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), including depreciation for unconsolidated real estate partnerships, joint ventures and discontinued operations. We calculate FFO based on the NAREIT definition, as further adjusted for amortization of management contracts and deficit distributions to minority partners. We calculate FFO (diluted) by subtracting redemption related preferred OP Unit issuance costs and distributions on preferred OP Units, adding back distributions on dilutive preferred securities and adding back the interest expense on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred securities. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts. The following is a reconciliation of net income to Funds From Operations: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE NINE MONTHS FOR THE YEAR ENDED ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, -------------------- --------------------------------- 2004 2003 2003 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) (UNAUDITED) NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON UNITHOLDERS(A)......................... $ 140,691 $ 54,219 $ 74,242 $ 98,556 $ 20,930 Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization (net of minority partners' interest for years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001)........................... 265,981 245,305 304,957 245,351 313,842 Depreciation and amortization related to non-real estate assets...........

We are in the business of acquiring direct and indirect interests in apartment properties such as the properties owned by your partnership. Our offer provides us with an opportunity to increase our ownership interest in your partnership's properties while providing you and other investors with an opportunity to liquidate your current investment. As part of the settlement of the Nuanes and Heller litigation, we commenced a cash tender offer in November 2003 to acquire limited partnership units in your partnership for $104.89 per unit and acquired 1,628 units. THIS OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT. Alternatives Considered by Your General Partner. From time to time in the past, we have made offers to acquire units of limited partnership interest in your partnership. Before making this offer and the previous offers, your general partner (which is our affiliate) considered a number of alternative transactions. The following is a brief discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives considered by your general partner. 46 LIQUIDATION One alternative would be for the partnership to sell its assets, distribute the net liquidation proceeds to its partners in accordance with the agreement of limited partnership, and thereafter dissolve. Partners would be at liberty to use the net liquidation proceeds after taxes for investment, business, personal or other purposes, at their option. If your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, you would not need to rely upon capitalization of income or other valuation methods to estimate the fair market value of partnership assets. Instead, such assets would be valued through negotiations with prospective purchasers (in many cases unrelated third parties). If your partnership was liquidated, and the properties sold at prices equal to the values recently determined by the independent appraiser in 2003, we estimate that your net liquidation proceeds would be $390.24 per unit. See "The Offer -- Section 8. Valuation of Units." However, a liquidating sale of all of your partnership's properties would be a taxable event for all partners, including your general partner. Furthermore, all partners, including those who wish to retain their units, and your general partner would be forced to participate in the liquidation. Lastly, although the future operating results of your partnership and future sales prices of the properties owned by your partnership are uncertain, the operating performance of your partnership's properties may improve in the future, which, in turn, may result in higher property values, making a sale of your partnership's properties a more attractive option in the future. Such values are also a function of capitalization rates in the market and the interest rate environment at the time. However, because your general partner and property manager (which are our affiliates) receive fees for managing your partnership and its properties, a conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving such fees, on the one hand, and the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of such fees, on the other. See "The Offer -- Section 15. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership -- Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments" and "-- Section 13. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Affiliates." The term of the partnership will continue until December 31, 2007, unless the partnership is terminated sooner under the provisions of the partnership agreement. CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT THE OFFER A second alternative would be for your partnership to continue as a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities and continue to be governed by its existing agreement of limited partnership, without our offer. A number of advantages could result from the continued operation of your partnership. Given improving rental market conditions or improved operating performance, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties could improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's properties at some point in the future a more attractive option than it is currently. The continuation of your partnership will allow you to continue to participate in the net income and any increases in revenue of your partnership and any net proceeds from the sale of the properties owned by your partnership. However, no assurance can be given as to future operating results or as to the results of any future attempts to sell the properties owned by your partnership. The primary disadvantage of continuing the operations of your partnership without our offer is that you would be limited in your ability to sell your units. Although you could sell your units to a third party, any such sale might be at a price less than our offer price. Alternative Transactions Considered by Us. At the present time, we have decided to proceed with this offer. From time to time in the past, we have considered proposing a number of alternative transactions, including the purchase of your partnership's properties or a merger of your partnership in which you would receive cash in exchange for your units. We decided not to pursue these alternative transactions because, in each case, we determined that a tender offer would be a less expensive means of acquiring additional interests in your partnership, and would not require the consent or approval of any limited partners (other than those who elect to tender their units). In the future, however, we may consider purchasing your partnership's properties or effecting such a merger. See "The Offer -- Section 14. Future Plans of the Purchaser." We also considered an offer to exchange units in your partnership for 47 limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P. However, because of the expense and delay associated with making such an exchange offer, we decided to make an offer for cash only. In addition, our historical experience has been that when we have offered limited partners an opportunity to receive cash or limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the limited partners who tender usually prefer the cash option. 12. POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER The partnership and the general partner of your partnership (which is our affiliate) have provided the following information for inclusion in this Offer to Purchase: Factors in Favor of Fairness Determination. The general partner of your partnership believes the offer price and the structure of the transaction are fair to the unaffiliated limited partners whether or not they tender units in the offer. In support of such determination, the general partner considered the factors and information set forth below, but did not quantify or otherwise attach particular weight to any such factors or information: The general partner considered the following factors in support of the fairness of the offer to unaffiliated limited partners who do not tender units in the offer: - the fact that the offer does not require approval of a majority of unaffiliated limited partners and, as a result, each limited partner has an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or her units (and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them; and - the fact that unaffiliated limited partners may continue to participate in the future performance of the partnership or its property following an alternative transaction such as a property sale or a liquidation of the partnership. The general partner considered the following factors in support of the fairness of the offer to unaffiliated limited partners who do tender units in the offer: - the fact that the offer does not require approval of a majority of unaffiliated limited partners and, as a result, each limited partner has an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or her units (and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them; - there is no established trading market for the limited partnership units, and the offer would provide immediate liquidity for tendering limited partners; - the uncertainty of the resulting proceeds from the possible alternative transactions, particularly a property sale or a liquidation of the partnership; - the offer price exceeds the book value per unit of $19.05 at September 30, 2004; - the fact that our offer price does not reflect any discount for minority interests; and - the absence of any other firm offers by third parties for all or substantially all of the partnership's assets, a merger or other extraordinary transaction during the past two years with which to compare the offer. Factors Not in Favor of Fairness Determination. In addition to the foregoing factors, the general partner considered the following countervailing factors: - we determined our offer price by estimating a net equity value for your partnership units based on a gross property value of $70,285,680. The gross property value is the value of your partnership's property, as estimated by us, before reduction for any prepayment penalty. Our estimate of the gross property value is approximately 86% of the appraised value of your partnership's property, as determined by the independent, court-appointed appraiser in 2003. As a result, our offer price is less than our estimate of the liquidation proceeds that would be payable to you if your partnership's properties were sold at prices equal to their 2003 appraised value, which we estimate to be $390.24 per unit. 48 - our offer price does not take into account any increase in value since the 2003 appraisal was completed, and does not take into account any increases in property income that we may realize in the near future; - the fact that an unaffiliated representative was not retained to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated limited partners for purposes of negotiating the terms of the offer; - the fact that the general partner's board of directors is comprised solely of an employee of AIMCO Properties, L.P., and, as a result, the terms of the offer were not approved by a majority of independent directors; and - prices at which the units have recently sold were higher than our current offer price. The general partner does not believe that going concern value of your partnership is relevant to the fairness of the offer because the partnership is not an operating business in the typical sense. Its only assets are its properties; the partnership has no other operations. Going concern value typically reflects independent value for the goodwill of a business as a going concern, over and above its asset value, however, those facts are not present here. Accordingly, the general partner did not consider a separate going concern value of the partnership in determining the fairness of the offer. In this case, the liquidation value was determined based on appraised values of the partnership's properties. These appraised values reflect the value of the properties as a going concern. The general partner believes that consideration of the offer was procedurally fair because, among other things, (1) each limited partner has an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender his or her units (and how many to tender) or to continue to hold them, and (2) limited partners can evaluate our offer price by comparing it to the net liquidation proceeds per unit derived from the independent appraiser's property valuation. In making this determination, the general partner took into account the absence of the following procedural safeguards: (1) the requirement of approval of the offer by a majority of the unaffiliated limited partners, (2) an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated limited partners for purposes of negotiating the terms of the offer, and (3) the approval of the offer by a majority of non-employee directors of your general partner's board of directors. The general partner makes no recommendation as to whether or not you should tender or refrain from tendering your units in this offer. While the general partner believes that the terms of our offer are fair, the general partner also believes that you must make your own decision whether or not to participate in any offer. The general partner is unable to make a recommendation because each limited partner's circumstances may differ from those of other limited partners. These circumstances, which would impact the desirability of tendering units in the offer, include a limited partner's financial position, his need or desire for liquidity, other financial opportunities available to him, and his tax position and the tax consequences to him of selling his units. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE, AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOU AND TO SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR INDEPENDENT LAWYER, TAX ADVISOR AND/OR FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THIS OFFER. Neither the general partner of your partnership or its affiliates have any plans or arrangements to tender any units. Except as otherwise provided in "The Offer -- Section 14. Future Plans of the Purchaser," the general partner does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a purchase or sale or transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets; or any changes in your partnership's present capitalization, indebtedness or distribution policies. The sale of your units pursuant to this offer will not be a taxable transaction for the general partner of your partnership or its affiliates. Consequently, the general partner of your partnership and its affiliates will not recognize gain or loss in connection with this offer. For information relating to certain relationships between your partnership and its general partner, on one hand, and AIMCO and its affiliates, on the other, and conflicts of interests with respect to the tender offer, see "The Offer -- Section 11. Background and Reasons for the Offer" and "--Section 13. Conflicts of Interest and Transactions with Affiliates." See also "The Offer -- Section 8. 49 Valuation of Units -- Comparison to Alternative Consideration" for certain information regarding transactions with respect to units of your partnership. Your partnership did not receive any report, opinion or appraisal with respect to the fairness of this offer or the offer price being offered to limited partners. However, the partnership did receive the 2003 appraisals prepared by AAA, as described above. Although the AIMCO Entities have interests that may be in conflict with those of the partnership's unaffiliated limited partners, each of the AIMCO Entities believes that the offer price and the structure of the transaction are fair to the unaffiliated limited partners based on the information and factors considered by the general partner of your partnership. Each of AIMCO Entities expressly adopts the analysis, and the factors underlying such analysis, of the general partner of your partnership. 13. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Conflicts of Interest with Respect to the Offer. The general partner of your partnership is an affiliate of AIMCO. As a result, the general partner has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the offer. We desire to purchase units at a low price and you desire to sell units at a high price. Such conflicts of interest in connection with the offer differ from those conflicts of interest that exist in connection with the general partner's management of your partnership. Your general partner has filed a Solicitation/ Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14d-9 with the SEC, which indicates that it is remaining neutral and making no recommendation as to whether limited partners should tender their units in the offer. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THE SCHEDULE 14D-9 AND THE RELATED MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR UNITS. Conflicts of Interest That Currently Exist for Your Partnership. We own the general partner of your partnership and are affiliated with the property manager of your partnership's properties. We and the general partner of your partnership received total fees and reimbursements (excluding property management fees) of approximately $626,000 in 2001, $621,000 in 2002 and $677,000 in 2003. Total fees and reimbursements (excluding property management fees) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $399,000. The property manager is entitled to receive five percent of gross receipts from the partnership's properties for providing property management services. It received management fees of approximately $969,000 in 2001, $834,000 in 2002 and $719,000 in 2003. Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $471,000. We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the manager of your partnership's properties. Competition Among Properties. Because AIMCO and your partnership both invest in apartment properties, these properties may compete with one another for tenants. Furthermore, you should bear in mind that AIMCO may acquire properties in general market areas where your partnership's properties are located. We believe that this concentration of properties in a general market area will facilitate overall operations through collective advertising efforts and other operational efficiencies. In managing AIMCO's properties, we will attempt to reduce conflicts between competing properties by referring prospective customers to the property considered to be most conveniently located for the customer's needs. Future Offers. We are not obligated to make another tender offer for units in your partnership. We have no current plans to conduct future tender offers for the units in your partnership, but our plans may change based on future circumstances, including tender offers made by third parties. Any such future offers that we make could be at prices that are more or less than the current offer price. Transactions with Affiliates. Your partnership has no employees and is dependent on the general partner and us for the management and administration of all partnership activities. The partnership agreement provides for certain payments to us for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by us on behalf of the partnership. 50 We and the general partner of your partnership are entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the partnership's properties for providing property management services, and received management fees of $969,000 in 2001, $834,000 in 2002, $719,000 in 2003 and $471,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We were eligible to receive reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $166,000 in 2001, $172,000 in 2002, $189,000 in 2003 and $135,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, for managing the affairs of the partnership, the general partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee equal to 10% of the partnership's adjusted cash flow from operations. Approximately $277,000 and $186,000 in partnership management fees were paid along with the distributions from operations made during the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately $60,000 was paid to the general partner. In connection with the refinancings of Vinings Peak, Wood Lake, and Plantation Crossing Apartments on June 25, 2003, the partnership paid the general partner a fee of approximately $205,000 pursuant to the partnership agreement. We have made available to the partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the partnership. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the general partner exceeded this credit limit and advanced the partnership approximately $2,101,000. This advance was used to repay the second mortgage encumbering McMillan Place Apartments, which was part of the loan extension agreement. Interest expense for this loan was approximately $66,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. The advance and accrued interest were paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2003 with the sales proceeds of McMillan Place Apartments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we advanced the partnership approximately $656,000 to pay property taxes at five of the partnership's properties. Interest on the credit line is charged at the prime rate plus 2% and was approximately $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, the partnership owed approximately $662,000 of principal and interest. 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 your general partner. The partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $136,000, $263,000 and $217,000 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration, and was charged approximately $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. 14. FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER As described above under "The Offer -- Section 11. Background and Reasons for the Offer," your general partner is our affiliate and, therefore, we have the ability to control the management of your partnership. In addition, we are affiliated with the manager of your partnership's property. We currently intend that, upon consummation of the offer, we will hold the units acquired and your partnership will continue its business and operations substantially as they are currently being conducted. The offer is not expected to have any effect on partnership operations. Although we are not obligated to do so, we may make future tender offers. However, we have no current plans to conduct future tender offers for units in your partnership. We may acquire additional units or sell units after completion or termination of the offer. Any acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future tender or exchange offers, by merger, consolidation or by any other means deemed advisable. Any acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the units purchased pursuant to this offer, and may be for cash, limited partnership interests in AIMCO 51 Properties, L.P. or other consideration. We may consider selling some or all of the units we acquire pursuant to this offer to persons not yet determined, which may include our affiliates. We may also buy your partnership's properties, although we have no present intention to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that we will initiate or complete, or will cause your partnership to initiate or complete, any subsequent transaction during any specific time period following the expiration of the offer or at all. Except as set forth herein, we do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a purchase or sale or transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets; any changes in composition of your partnership's senior management or personnel or their compensation; any changes in your partnership's present capitalization, indebtedness or distribution policy; or any other material changes in your partnership's structure or business. We or our affiliates may loan funds to your partnership which may be secured by your partnership's properties. If any such loans are made, upon default of such loans, we or our affiliates could seek to foreclose on the loan and related mortgage or security interest. However, we expect that, consistent with your general partner's fiduciary obligations, the general partner will seek and review opportunities, including opportunities identified by us, to engage in transactions which could benefit your partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or a combination of the partnership with one or more other entities, with the objective of seeking to maximize returns to limited partners. We have been advised that the general partner does not currently expect to consider, on behalf of your partnership any of the following transactions: (i) payment of extraordinary distributions; (ii) refinancing, reducing or increasing existing indebtedness of the partnership; (iii) sales of assets, individually or as part of a complete liquidation; and (iv) mergers or other consolidation transactions involving the partnership. Any such merger or consolidation transaction could involve other limited partnerships in which your general partner or its affiliates serve as general partners, or a combination of the partnership with one or more existing, publicly traded entities (including, possibly, affiliates of AIMCO), in any of which limited partners might receive cash, common stock or other securities or consideration. As discussed under "The Offer -- Section 15. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership -- Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments," the general partner regularly evaluates the real estate and capital markets. The general partner may consider refinancing the partnership's existing indebtedness to the extent that the general partner is able to obtain a lower interest rate or if such indebtedness is approaching maturity. Furthermore, in the event that the general partner receives an attractive offer for any of your partnership's properties, the general partner would give due consideration to such an offer. If any of the transactions referred to above occur, and financial benefits accrue to the limited partners, we will participate in those benefits to the extent of our ownership of units. The agreement of limited partnership prohibits limited partners from voting on actions taken by the partnership, unless otherwise specifically permitted therein. Limited partners may vote on a liquidation, and we will be able to significantly influence or control the outcome of any such vote. Our primary objective in seeking to acquire the units pursuant to the offer is not, however, to influence the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a profit on the investment represented by those units. 15. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP General. Your partnership was organized on August 11, 1982 under the laws of the State of California. Its primary business is real estate ownership and related operations. Your partnership was formed for the purpose of making investments in income-producing commercial and residential real estate. Your partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of seven residential apartment complexes. Your partnership currently has approximately 3,665 limited partners. General Partner. The managing general partner of your partnership is Fox Capital Management Corporation, which is an affiliate of AIMCO. Our affiliate serves as manager of the properties owned by your partnership. We and the general partner of your partnership received total fees and reimbursements (excluding property management fees) of approximately $626,000 in 2001, $621,000 in 2002 and $677,000 52 in 2003. Total fees and reimbursements (excluding property management fees) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $399,000. The property manager is entitled to receive five percent of gross receipts from the partnership's property for providing property management services. It received management fees of approximately $969,000 in 2001, $834,000 in 2002 and $719,000 in 2003. Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were approximately $471,000. Ownership and Voting. We, together with AIMCO IPLP Acquisitions, L.L.C. and AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which are our affiliates), own 53,731.66 units, or 60.18%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units and control your partnership's general partner, we control the outcome of most voting decisions with respect to your partnership. In general, we will vote the units owned by us in whatever manner we deem to be in our best interests, which may not be in the interest of other limited partners. See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer" and "-- Section 16. Voting Power." Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments. In general, your general partner (which is our affiliate) regularly evaluates the partnership's properties by considering various factors, such as the partnership's financial position and real estate and capital markets conditions. The general partner monitors a property's specific locale and sub-market conditions (including stability of the surrounding neighborhood), evaluating current trends, competition, new construction and economic changes. It oversees the operating performance of the properties and continuously evaluates the physical improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for the properties (including any prepayment penalties), tax implications, availability of attractive mortgage financing to a purchaser, and the investment climate are all considered. Any of these factors, and possibly others, could potentially contribute to any decision by the general partner to sell, refinance, upgrade with capital improvements or hold the partnership properties. If rental market conditions improve, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties could improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's properties in a private transaction at some point in the future a more viable option than it is currently. After taking into account the foregoing considerations, your general partner is not currently seeking a sale of your partnership's properties. Although the future operating results of your partnership and future sales prices of the properties owned by your partnership are uncertain, the operating performance of your partnership's properties may improve in the future, which, in turn, may result in higher property values, making a sale of your partnership's properties a more attractive option in the future. Such values, however, are also a function of capitalization rates in the market and the interest rate environment at the time. Another significant factor considered by your general partner is the likely tax consequences of a sale of the properties for cash. Such a transaction would likely result in tax liabilities for many limited partners. Term of Your Partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of the partnership will continue until December 31, 2007 unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement or by law. Capital Replacements. Your partnership has an ongoing program of capital improvements, replacements and renovations, including interior and exterior building improvements, cabinet, floor covering and appliance replacements and other replacements and renovations in the ordinary course of business. During 2005, the capital improvements budget for each property in your partnership will be determined on a quarterly basis, primarily based on the immediate maintenance needs of each property to maintain both tenant safety and curb appeal. Your partnership is currently evaluating the capital improvements needs of each property for the first fiscal quarter of 2005. Additional improvements may be considered each quarter and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. All capital improvements are expected to be paid from operating cash flows or cash reserves, or from short-term or long-term borrowings. Competition. There are other residential properties within the market area of each of your partnership's properties. The number and quality of competitive properties in such an area could have a material effect on the rental market for the apartments at your partnership's properties and the rents that may be charged for such apartments. While AIMCO is a significant factor in the United States in the 53 apartment industry, competition for apartments is local. According to data published by the National Multi-Housing Council, we believe AIMCO is the largest owner and manager of multifamily apartment properties in the United States. Financial Data. The selected financial information of your partnership set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is based on audited financial statements. The selected financial information set forth below for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 is based on unaudited financial statements.

From time to time, your partnership may be a party to a variety of legal proceedings related to its ownership of properties which arise in the ordinary course of business. See "The Offer -- Section 9. The Lawsuit and the Settlement." 16. VOTING POWER Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of your partnership is our affiliate, we control the management of your partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. We, together with AIMCO IPLP Acquisitions, L.L.C. and AIMCO IPLP, L.P. (which are our affiliates), own 53,731.66 units, or 60.18%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units and control your partnership's general partner, we control the outcome of most voting decisions with respect to your partnership. In general, we will vote the units owned by us in whatever manner we deem to be in our best interests, which may not be in the interest of other limited partners. See "The Offer -- Section 7. Effects of the Offer." 17. SOURCE OF FUNDS We expect that approximately $9,291,400 will be required to purchase all of the limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer exclusive of fees and expenses. For more information regarding fees and expenses, see "The Offer -- Section 21. Fees and Expenses." In addition to this offer, we intend to make concurrent offers to acquire interests in approximately 7 other limited partnerships. If all such offers were fully subscribed for cash, we would be required to pay approximately $33.4 million for all such units. If for some reason we did not have such funds available, we 57 might extend these offers for a period of time sufficient for us to obtain additional funds, or we could terminate the offers. However, we do not expect all such offers to be fully subscribed. Additionally, we believe that we will have sufficient cash on hand and available sources of financing to acquire all units tendered pursuant to such offers. As of September 30, 2004, we had $122.5 million of cash on hand and $258.4 million available for borrowing under existing lines of credit. We intend to repay any amounts borrowed to finance the offer out of future working capital. We have a $445 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, Fleet National Bank and First Union National Bank with a syndicate comprised of a total of ten lender participants. We are the borrower and all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by certain of AIMCO's subsidiaries. The obligations under the credit facility are secured, among other things, by our pledge of our stock ownership in certain subsidiaries of AIMCO, and a first priority pledge of certain of our non-real estate assets. The annual interest rate under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges between 2.15% and 2.85% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and between 0.65% and 1.35% in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility expires on July 31, 2005 and can be extended at AIMCO's option for a one-year term on a one-time basis. 18. DISSENTERS' RIGHTS Neither the agreement of limited partnership of your partnership nor applicable law provides any right for you to have your units appraised or redeemed in connection with, or as a result of, our offer. You have the opportunity to make an individual decision on whether or not to tender your units in the offer. No provisions have been made with regard to the offer to allow you or other limited partners to inspect the books and records of the partnership or to obtain counsel or appraisal services at our expense or at the expense of your partnership. However, you have the right under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership to obtain a list of the limited partners in your partnership. 19.

The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and the waiver of any such right with respect to any particular facts or circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts or circumstances. If we waive any of the conditions to the offer with respect to the tender of a particular unit, we will waive such condition with respect to all other tenders of units in this offer as well. 59 All conditions to our offer will be satisfied or waived on or before the expiration of our offer.

CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS General. Except as set forth in this Section 20, we are not aware of any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the business of your partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely affected by our acquisition of units as contemplated herein, or any filings, approvals or other actions by or with any domestic or foreign governmental authority or administrative or regulatory agency that would be required prior to the acquisition of units by us pursuant to the offer, other than the filing of a Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC (which has already been filed) and any required amendments thereto. While there is no present intent to delay the purchase of units tendered pursuant to the offer pending receipt of any such additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to your partnership or its business, or that certain parts of its business might not have to be disposed of or other substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of which could cause us to elect to terminate the offer without purchasing units thereunder. Our obligation to purchase and pay for units is subject to certain conditions, including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 20. Antitrust. We do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of units contemplated by our offer. Margin Requirements. The units are not "margin securities" under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to our offer. State Laws. We are not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of our offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If we become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the offer would not be in compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law. If, after such good faith effort, we cannot comply with any such law, the offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) limited partners residing in such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions with securities or blue sky laws that require the offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the offer shall be made on behalf of us, if at all, only by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction. 21.
