                                   (Unaudited)


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements of Shelter Properties VI (the
"Partnership" or  "Registrant")  have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial  information and with the
instructions  to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 (b) of  Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information  and footnotes  required by generally
accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.  The general
partner  responsible  for  management of the  Partnership's  business is Shelter
Realty VI Corporation ("the Corporate General  Partner").  The Corporate General
Partner  is  a  subsidiary  of  Apartment   Investment  and  Management  Company
("AIMCO"),  a publicly traded real estate  investment  trust. The  non-corporate
general partner,  AIMCO Properties,  L.P., is also an affiliate of AIMCO. In the
opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2005, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2005. For further  information,  refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's  Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets",   the
accompanying  statement of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 2004
has been restated to reflect the operations of River Reach  Apartments as income
from discontinued  operations.  The Partnership sold River Reach Apartments to a
third party in August 2004.

Note B - Reconciliation of Cash Flows

The following,  as required by the Partnership Agreement, is a reconciliation of
"Net cash provided by operating  activities" on the  accompanying  statements of
cash  flows  to "Net  cash  from  operations",  as  defined  in the  partnership
agreement of the Partnership (the "Partnership  Agreement").  However, "Net cash
from  operations"  should not be considered an  alternative  to net income as an
indicator  of the  Partnership's  operating  performance  or to cash  flows as a
measure of liquidity.

The Corporate General Partner reserved  approximately  $159,000 during the three
months  ended  March  31,  2004,  to  fund  capital  improvements,  repairs  and
operations at the Partnership's properties.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  Partnership  has no employees and depends on the Corporate  General Partner
and its  affiliates for the management  and  administration  of all  Partnership
activities.  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for (i) certain  payments to
affiliates for services and (ii)  reimbursement of certain expenses  incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

Affiliates of the Corporate  General  Partner  receive 5% of gross receipts from
all of the  Partnership's  properties as  compensation  for  providing  property
management  services.  The  Partnership  paid to such  affiliates  approximately
$32,000  and  $66,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2005 and 2004,
respectively,   which  is  included  in  operating   expenses  and  income  from
discontinued operations.

Affiliates   of  the  Corporate   General   Partner   charged  the   Partnership
reimbursement of accountable  administrative expenses amounting to approximately
$24,000  and  $43,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2005 and 2004,
respectively,  which is  included  in general and  administrative  expenses  and
investment  properties.  Approximately  $8,000 of these expenses were payable to
the  Corporate  General  Partner at March 31,  2005 and are  included  in due to
affiliates.   The  portion  of  these  reimbursements   included  in  investment
properties  for the three  months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are fees related
to construction  management  services  provided by an affiliate of the Corporate
General  Partner  of  approximately   $9,000  and  $4,000,   respectively.   The
construction  management  service fees are  calculated  based on a percentage of
additions to investment properties.

Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement  and in  connection  with  the  sale of
Foxfire/Barcelona  Village during 2000, Nottingham Square Apartments in December
2002, and River Reach  Apartments in August 2004, the Corporate  General Partner
is entitled to a commission of up to 1% for its assistance in the sale.  Payment
of such commission is subordinate to the limited partners receiving a cumulative
7%  return  on  their  investment.  This  return  has  not  yet  been  met,  and
accordingly,  the combined fees of approximately  $658,000 have been accrued and
are included in due to affiliates.

During the three  months ended March 31,  2004,  an  affiliate of the  Corporate
General  Partner  advanced  the  Partnership  approximately  $250,000  to  cover
additional costs related to the sale of Nottingham Square  Apartments.  Interest
was  charged  at  prime  plus  1%.  Interest   expense  on  these  advances  was
approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. During the three
months ended March 31, 2004,  the  Partnership  made  payments of  approximately
$173,000 on the  outstanding  loans and the loan was  completely  repaid  during
2004.  During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2005,  an  affiliate  of the
Corporate  General  Partner  advanced the Partnership  approximately  $30,000 to
cover capital  expenditures and operating expenses at Carriage House Apartments.
Interest  was  charged  at prime  plus 2% (7.75% at March  31,  2005).  Interest
expense on these  advances was less than $1,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2005.  Approximately $30,000 of the advance remains unpaid at March 31, 2005
and is included in due to affiliates.

The  Partnership  insures its properties up to certain  limits through  coverage
provided by AIMCO which is  generally  self-insured  for a portion of losses and
liabilities  related to workers  compensation,  property  casualty  and  vehicle
liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through
insurance  policies  obtained  by  AIMCO  from  insurers  unaffiliated  with the
Corporate  General  Partner.  During the three months ended March 31, 2005,  the
Partnership  was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates  approximately  $27,000 for
hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.
Additional  charges  will be  incurred by the  Partnership  during 2005 as other
insurance policies renew later in the year. The Partnership was charged by AIMCO
and its  affiliates  approximately  $74,000  for  insurance  coverage  and  fees
associated with policy claims  administration during the year ended December 31,
2004.

Note D - Contingencies

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the Partnership,  its Corporate  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of interests  in certain  Corporate  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
In addition,  during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint  captioned Heller v.
Insignia  Financial  Group (the  "Heller  action")  was filed  against  the same
defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action.  On or about  August 6, 2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial  dissolution.  On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted  defendants
motion to strike the complaint.

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

On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the
order approving the settlement and entering  judgment  thereto.  On May 4, 2004,
the Objector filed a second appeal  challenging the court's use of a referee and
its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.

On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.
With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals
vacated  the trial  court's  order and  remanded  to the trial court for further
findings  on the basis that the "state of the record is  insufficient  to permit
meaningful  appellate  review".  With regard to the second appeal,  the Court of
Appeals  reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. On April
26, 2005,  the Court of Appeals  lifted the stay of a pending  appeal related to
the Heller Action and the trial court's order striking the  complaint.  On April
28, 2005, the Objector  filed a Petition for Review with the California  Supreme
Court in connection with the opinion vacating the order approving settlement and
remanding for further findings. The Corporate General Partner and its affiliates
are  currently  scheduled  to file an answer to  Objector's  petition on May 18,
2005.

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

As previously disclosed,  AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both
affiliates  of the  Corporate  General  Partner,  are  defendants  in a  lawsuit
alleging that they willfully  violated the Fair Labor  Standards Act ("FLSA") by
failing to pay  maintenance  workers  overtime for all hours worked in excess of
forty per week.  The complaint  attempts to bring a collective  action under the
FLSA and seeks to certify state  subclasses  in  California,  Maryland,  and the
District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties
L.P. and NHP  Management  Company failed to compensate  maintenance  workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call."  Additionally,  the  complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties L.P. and NHP Management  Company failed to comply with
the FLSA in  compensating  maintenance  workers  for time  that  they  worked in
responding to a call while "on-call." The defendants have filed an answer to the
amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Oral argument relating to
the  certification  of the  collective  action is  scheduled  for May 12,  2005.
Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does
not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.  Similarly,  the Corporate General
Partner does not believe that the ultimate  outcome will have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations.

The  Partnership  is unaware  of any other  pending  or  outstanding  litigation
matters  involving  it or its  investment  properties  that are not of a routine
nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Environmental

Various  Federal,  state and local laws subject  property owners or operators to
liability for management,  and the costs of removal or  remediation,  of certain
hazardous  substances  present on a property.  Such laws often impose  liability
without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for,
the release or presence of the  hazardous  substances.  The  presence of, or the
failure to manage or remedy properly,  hazardous substances may adversely affect
occupancy at affected  apartment  communities and the ability to sell or finance
affected properties.  In addition to the costs associated with investigation and
remediation  actions brought by government  agencies,  the presence of hazardous
substances  on a  property  could  result in claims by  private  plaintiffs  for
personal injury,  disease,  disability or other  infirmities.  Various laws also
impose  liability for the cost of removal,  remediation or disposal of hazardous
substances  through a  licensed  disposal  or  treatment  facility.  Anyone  who
arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous  substances  is  potentially
liable  under such laws.  These laws often impose  liability  whether or not the
person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal  facility.
In  connection  with  the  ownership  and  operation  of  its  properties,   the
Partnership could  potentially be liable for environmental  liabilities or costs
associated with its properties.

Mold

The Partnership is aware of lawsuits  against owners and managers of multifamily
properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the
presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial  monetary judgments
or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property
damage loss claims  arising from the  presence of mold and for  personal  injury
claims related to mold  exposure.  Affiliates of the Corporate  General  Partner
have  implemented a national  policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold
from its  properties  and the  Corporate  General  Partner  believes  that these
measures will eliminate,  or at least minimize, the effects that mold could have
on residents.  To date, the  Partnership  has not incurred any material costs or
liabilities  relating to claims of mold  exposure  or to abate mold  conditions.
Because the law regarding  mold is unsettled and subject to change the Corporate
General  Partner  can make no  assurance  that  liabilities  resulting  from the
presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material  adverse  effect on the
Partnership's (consolidated) financial condition or results of operations.

SEC Investigation

The  Central  Regional  Office of the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal investigation  relating to certain
matters.  Although  the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may
investigate,   AIMCO  believes  the  areas  of  investigation   include  AIMCO's
miscalculated   monthly  net  rental  income  figures  in  third  quarter  2003,
forecasted  guidance,  accounts  payable,  rent  concessions,   vendor  rebates,
capitalization  of payroll and certain other costs and tax credit  transactions.
At the end of the first quarter of 2005, the SEC added certain tender offers for
limited partnership interests as an area of investigation.  AIMCO is cooperating
fully.  AIMCO is not able to predict  when the  investigation  will be resolved.
AIMCO does not believe  that the ultimate  outcome will have a material  adverse
effect  on its  consolidated  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.
Similarly,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  does not believe that the ultimate
outcome  will have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Partnership's  financial
condition or results of operations.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

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

The Partnership's  investment  properties consist of three apartment  complexes.
The following table sets forth the average  occupancy of the properties for each
of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

                                                            Average
                                                           Occupancy
       Property                                        2005          2004

       Rocky Creek Apartments
         Augusta, Georgia                              91%            93%

       Carriage House Apartments (1)
         Gastonia, North Carolina                      97%            89%

       Village Gardens Apartments (2)
         Fort Collins, Colorado                        82%            87%

(1)   The Corporate General Partner attributes the increase in average occupancy
      at Carriage House Apartments to increased  marketing  efforts by the local
      management at the property.

(2)   The Corporate General Partner attributes the decrease in average occupancy
      at Village Gardens Apartments to a more stringent tenant acceptance policy
      in order to create a more stable customer base.

The  Partnership's  financial  results depend upon a number of factors including
the  ability to attract  and  maintain  tenants  at the  investment  properties,
interest  rates on mortgage  loans,  costs  incurred  to operate the  investment
properties,  general  economic  conditions  and weather.  As part of the ongoing
business plan of the  Partnership,  the Corporate  General Partner  monitors the
rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility
of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing  occupancy levels and protecting
the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of this plan, the Corporate
General  Partner  attempts  to  protect  the  Partnership  from  the  burden  of
inflation-related  increases in expenses by increasing  rents and  maintaining a
high overall  occupancy level.  However,  the Corporate  General Partner may use
rental  concessions  and  rental  rate  reductions  to offset  softening  market
conditions,  accordingly,  there  is no  guarantee  that the  Corporate  General
Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.  Further,  a number of factors that
are outside the control of the  Partnership  such as the local economic  climate
and weather can  adversely  or  positively  affect the  Partnership's  financial
results.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership  realized  a net loss of  approximately  $53,000  for the three
months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net income of approximately  $24,000 for
the three months  ended March 31, 2004.  The decrease in net income is primarily
due to an increase in loss from  continuing  operations and a decrease in income
from discontinued operations.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets",   the
accompanying  statement of operations  for the three months ended March 31, 2004
has been restated to reflect the operations of River Reach  Apartments as income
from discontinued operations due to the property's sale in August 2004.

On August 30,  2004,  the  Partnership  sold River Reach  Apartments  to a third
party. The results of the property's operations for the three months ended March
31,  2004 of  approximately  $45,000 are  included  in income from  discontinued
operations  and include  revenues  of  approximately  $718,000.  The income from
discontinued  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included the
collection of tenant receivables of approximately $14,000.

The Partnership  recognized a loss from continuing  operations of  approximately
$67,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2005,  compared to a loss from
continuing  operations of approximately $21,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2004. The increase in loss from  continuing  operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2005, is due to an increase in total  expenses and a decrease in
total  revenues.  Total  expenses  increased due to an increase in operating and
interest expenses  partially offset by a decrease in general and  administrative
expense.  Operating  expenses  increased due to an increase in property  expense
partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in  maintenance  expense.  Property  expense
increased  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  utilities  at  Village  Gardens
Apartments  and  salaries  and related  benefits  at Carriage  House and Village
Gardens Apartments. Maintenance expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in
repairs at Carriage House Apartments.  Interest expense increased  primarily due
to an increase in the interest rate on the variable  rate  mortgages at Carriage
House and Rocky Creek Apartments.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased for the three months ended March
31,  2005 due to a decrease  in the costs of  services  included  in  management
reimbursements to the Corporate General Partner as allowed under the Partnership
Agreement.  Also included in general and administrative  expenses for both March
31,  2005  and  2004  are  costs   associated  with  the  quarterly  and  annual
communications  with  investors  and  regulatory  agencies  and the annual audit
required by the Partnership Agreement.

Total  revenues  decreased  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2005 due to
decreases in rental and other income.  Rental income  decreased due to decreases
in occupancy at Rocky Creek and Village Gardens  Apartments and decreased rental
rates at all of the Partnership's properties, partially offset by an increase in
occupancy at Carriage House Apartments.  Other income decreased primarily due to
a decrease in laundry income at Carriage House and Village Gardens Apartments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2005 the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$141,000  compared to  approximately  $138,000 at March 31, 2004.  Cash and cash
equivalents  decreased  approximately  $128,000  since  December 31, 2004 due to
approximately  $30,000 and  $151,000  of cash used in  financing  and  investing
activities,  respectively,  partially  offset by  approximately  $53,000 of cash
provided by operating activities. Cash used in financing activities consisted of
principal  payments on the mortgages  encumbering the Partnership's  properties,
partially offset by advances  received from  affiliates.  Cash used in investing
activities consisted of property improvements and replacements.  The Partnership
invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.

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

Rocky Creek Apartments

During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2005,  the  Partnership  completed
approximately   $29,000  in  capital  improvements  at  Rocky  Creek  Apartments
primarily  consisting of floor covering and appliance  replacements and property
upgrades. The improvements were funded from operating cash flow. The Partnership
regularly  evaluates the capital  improvement  needs of the property.  While the
Partnership  has  no  material   commitments  for  property   improvements   and
replacements,  certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2005.
Such capital  expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property
as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Carriage House Apartments

During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2005,  the  Partnership  completed
approximately  $79,000 in capital  improvements  at  Carriage  House  Apartments
primarily  consisting of floor covering  replacements,  exterior  painting,  and
heating  and air  conditioning  upgrades.  These  improvements  were funded from
operating cash flow. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement
needs of the property.  While the  Partnership  has no material  commitments for
property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are
anticipated  during 2005. Such capital  expenditures will depend on the physical
condition of the property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated  cash
flow generated by the property.

Village Gardens Apartments

During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2005,  the  Partnership  completed
approximately  $9,000 in  capital  improvements  at Village  Gardens  Apartments
consisting  primarily  of  floor  covering  and  appliance  replacements.  These
improvements  were funded from operating cash flow.  The  Partnership  regularly
evaluates the capital  improvement needs of the property.  While the Partnership
has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements,  certain
routine  capital   expenditures  are  anticipated   during  2005.  Such  capital
expenditures  will depend on the  physical  condition of the property as well as
anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

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

The  Partnership's  assets are thought to be sufficient  for any near term needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage encumbering
Village Gardens  Apartments of approximately  $4,027,000 matures in January 2021
at which time the  mortgage is scheduled to be fully  amortized.  The  mortgages
encumbering Rocky Creek and Carriage House Apartments aggregating  approximately
$4,006,000  have a maturity  date of  September  15, 2007 at which time  balloon
payments  totaling  approximately  $3,745,000  are due.  The  Corporate  General
Partner has the option to extend the  maturity  on the Rocky Creek and  Carriage
House Apartments  loans for another five years.  After that period the Corporate
General  Partner  will attempt to refinance  such  indebtedness  and/or sell the
properties  prior to the optional  extended  maturity  date.  If the  properties
cannot be refinanced or sold, the  Partnership  will risk losing such properties
through foreclosure.

There were no  distributions  during the three  months  ended March 31, 2005 and
2004. Future cash  distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated
from  operations,   the  timing  of  debt  maturities,   property  sales  and/or
refinancings. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a
monthly  basis.  There can be no assurance  that the  Partnership  will generate
sufficient funds from operations, after required capital improvements, to permit
any distributions to its partners during 2005 or subsequent periods.

Other

In addition to its indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interests in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  owned 28,435 limited  partnership  units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 67.18% of the outstanding Units at
March 31, 2005. A number of these Units were acquired  pursuant to tender offers
made by AIMCO or its  affiliates.  It is possible  that AIMCO or its  affiliates
will acquire  additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and
units in AIMCO  Properties,  L.P., the operating  partnership  of AIMCO,  either
through  private  purchases  or  tender  offers.  Pursuant  to  the  Partnership
Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority  of the Units are  entitled  to take
action with  respect to a variety of matters that  include,  but are not limited
to,  voting on certain  amendments  to the  Partnership  Agreement and voting to
remove the Corporate General Partner.  As a result of its ownership of 67.18% of
the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all
such voting  decisions with respect to the  Partnership.  Although the Corporate
General  Partner  owes  fiduciary   duties  to  the  limited   partners  of  the
Partnership,  the Corporate  General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO
as its sole  stockholder.  As a  result,  the  duties of the  Corporate  General
Partner,  as  managing  general  partner,  to the  Partnership  and its  limited
partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Corporate General Partner
to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

Real  property  investments  are  subject  to varying  degrees of risk.  Several
factors  may  adversely  affect  the  economic  performance  and  value  of  the
Partnership's investment properties.  These factors include, but are not limited
to, changes in national,  regional and local economic climate; local conditions,
such  as  an  oversupply  of  multifamily  properties;  competition  from  other
available  multifamily  property owners and changes in market rental rates.  Any
adverse  changes in these  factors could cause  impairment of the  Partnership's
assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or
in response  to heavy  competition  from other  similar  complexes  in the area.
Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a
straight-line  basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership  evaluates all
accounts  receivable  from  residents and  establishes  an allowance,  after the
application of security deposits,  for accounts greater than 30 days past due on
current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

Item 3.     Controls and Procedures

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

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

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the Partnership,  its Corporate  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purported  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  that are named as nominal  defendants,  challenging,  among  other
things,  the  acquisition  of interests  in certain  Corporate  General  Partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc.  ("Insignia") and entities that were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited partnership units;  management of the partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the series of  transactions  which  closed on
October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby  Insignia and Insignia  Properties
Trust,  respectively,  were merged into AIMCO.  The plaintiffs  sought  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
In addition,  during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint  captioned Heller v.
Insignia  Financial  Group (the  "Heller  action")  was filed  against  the same
defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action.  On or about  August 6, 2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial  dissolution.  On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted  defendants
motion to strike the complaint.

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

On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the
order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004 the
Objector filed a second appeal  challenging the court's use of a referee and its
order requiring Objector to pay those fees.

On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.
With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals
vacated  the trial  court's  order and  remanded  to the trial court for further
findings  on the basis that the "state of the record is  insufficient  to permit
meaningful  appellate  review".  With regard to the second appeal,  the Court of
Appeals  reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. On April
26, 2005,  the Court of Appeals  lifted the stay of a pending  appeal related to
the Heller action and the trial court's order striking the  complaint.  On April
28, 2005, the Objector  filed a Petition for Review with the California  Supreme
Court in connection with the opinion vacating the order approving settlement and
remanding for further findings. The Corporate General Partner and its affiliates
are  currently  scheduled  to file an answer to  Objector's  petition on May 18,
2005.

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

As previously disclosed,  AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both
affiliates  of the  Corporate  General  Partner,  are  defendants  in a  lawsuit
alleging that they willfully  violated the Fair Labor  Standards Act ("FLSA") by
failing to pay  maintenance  workers  overtime for all hours worked in excess of
forty per week.  The complaint  attempts to bring a collective  action under the
FLSA and seeks to certify state  subclasses  in  California,  Maryland,  and the
District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties
L.P. and NHP  Management  Company failed to compensate  maintenance  workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call."  Additionally,  the  complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties L.P. and NHP Management  Company failed to comply with
the FLSA in  compensating  maintenance  workers  for time  that  they  worked in
responding to a call while "on-call." The defendants have filed an answer to the
amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. Oral argument relating to
the  certification  of the  collective  action is  scheduled  for May 12,  2005.
Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does
not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.  Similarly,  the Corporate General
Partner does not believe that the ultimate  outcome will have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations.
