                                   (Unaudited)


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial  statements  of  Shelter
Properties  IV  (the  "Partnership"  or  "Registrant")  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and  Item 310 (b) of
Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  In the  opinion of Shelter  Realty IV  Corporation  (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,  2004,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2004. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's  Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.  The Corporate  General
Partner  is  a  subsidiary  of  Apartment   Investment  and  Management  Company
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

Note B - Reconciliation of Cash Flows

As required by the Partnership  Agreement,  the following is a reconciliation of
"net cash provided by operating  activities"  in the  accompanying  consolidated
statements  of cash  flows to "net  cash from  operations",  as  defined  in 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.

                                                      For the Three Months Ended
                                                               March 31,

          liabilities                                     469              (62)

           Net cash from operations                      $ --             $ --

For the three  months  ended  March 31,  2004 and 2003,  the  Corporate  General
Partner  reserved  approximately  $690,000 and $349,000,  respectively,  to fund
capital improvements and repairs at the Partnership's properties.

Distributions made from reserves no longer considered necessary by the Corporate
General  Partner are  considered to be additional  net cash from  operations for
allocation purposes.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  Partnership  has no employees  and is dependent  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 are entitled to receive 5% of gross
receipts from both of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing
property management  services.  During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and
2003,  the  Partnership  paid  to such  affiliates  approximately  $125,000  and
$127,000, respectively, which is included in operating expense.

Affiliates  of  the  Corporate   General  Partner   received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $64,000 and
$80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively,  which
is included in general and  administrative  expense and  investment  properties.
Included in these amounts are fees related to construction  management  services
provided by an  affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner of  approximately
$3,000  and  $25,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2004 and  2003,
respectively. The construction management service fees are calculated based upon
a percentage of additions to the investment properties.

Pursuant  to the  Partnership  Agreement  and in  connection  with  the  sale of
Countrywood Village in August of 2000, 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  commission of $178,000 was accrued and is included in other  liabilities in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2004.

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 2004, the Partnership  anticipates its costs
for insurance  coverage and fees  associated  with policy claims  administration
provided  by  AIMCO  and its  affiliates  will be  approximately  $113,000.  The
Partnership was charged approximately $172,000 for 2003.

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 (the "Heller action")
was filed  against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,
captioned  Heller v.  Insignia  Financial  Group.  On or about  August 6,  2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial dissolution.

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

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

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector")  filed an  appeal  seeking  to  vacate  and/or  reverse  the  order
approving the settlement and entering  judgment  thereto.  On November 24, 2003,
the Objector filed an  application  requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw
settlement  tender offers it had  commenced,  refrain from making further offers
pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third  parties,  contending
that the offers did not conform  with the terms of the  Settlement.  Counsel for
the Objector (on behalf of another  investor)  had  alternatively  requested the
Court take certain  action  purportedly  to enforce the terms of the  settlement
agreement.  On December 18, 2003,  the Court heard oral  argument on the motions
and denied them both in their entirety.  On January 28, 2004, Objector filed his
opening brief in his pending  appeal.  On April 23, 2004, the Corporate  General
Partner and its  affiliates  filed a response brief in support of the settlement
and the judgment  thereto.  Plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the
settlement.  Objector is  scheduled  to file a reply brief no later than May 13,
2004.

On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties  L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate  General
Partner,  was served  with a  Complaint  in the United  States  District  Court,
District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P.  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.  On March 5, 2004  Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company,  which is also an
affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner.  The  Complaint  is  styled as 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. failed to compensate  maintenance workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call".  Additionally,  the  Complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties  L.P.  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. Discovery is currently underway.

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.

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.

Pursuant to a formal order of investigation received by AIMCO on March 29, 2004,
the  Central  Regional  Office of the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission is conducting an  investigation  relating to certain  matters.  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,  and capitalization of expenses and
payroll.  AIMCO is cooperating  fully.  AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate
outcome  will  have a  material  adverse  effect on its  consolidated  financial
condition or results of operations  taken as a whole.  Similarly,  the Corporate
General Partner does not believe that the ultimate  outcome will have a material
adverse effect on the Partnership's  consolidated financial condition or results
of operations taken as a whole.

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

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

The Partnership's  investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The
following  table sets forth the average  occupancy of the properties for each of
the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

                                                             Average
                                                            Occupancy
       Property                                        2004          2003

       Baymeadows Apartments
         Jacksonville, Florida                         95%            96%

       Quail Run Apartments
         Columbia, South Carolina                      79%            85%

The Corporate General Partner  attributes the decrease in occupancy at Quail Run
Apartments to military  deployments,  unemployment in the area, and low mortgage
rates that encourage home ownership.

The  Partnership's  financial  results  are  dependent  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 which
are outside the control of the  Partnership  such as the local economic  climate
and weather can  adversely  or  positively  impact the  Partnership's  financial
results.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net income for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2004 was
approximately  $379,000 compared to net income of approximately $271,000 for the
corresponding  period in 2003. The increase in net income was due to an increase
in total revenues and a decrease in total expenses. Total revenues increased due
to an increase in other income  partially offset by a decrease in rental income.
Other income  increased  due to  increases  in corporate  unit rent at Quail Run
Apartments and increases in fees charged to residents at both properties. Rental
income  decreased due to a decrease in occupancy at Quail Run  Apartments and an
increase in bad debt expense at both properties  partially offset by an increase
in the average rental rate at Baymeadows Apartments.

Total  expenses  decreased due to decreases in operating  and interest  expenses
partially  offset by an increase in property  tax  expense.  Operating  expenses
decreased  due to decreases in  maintenance  and  insurance  expenses  partially
offset by an increase in property expense.  Maintenance expense decreased due to
decreases  in contract  labor,  repairs and supplies at  Baymeadows  Apartments.
Insurance  expense decreased due to a decrease in hazard insurance at Baymeadows
Apartments. Property expense increased due to an increase in payroll and related
costs at both  properties.  Interest  expense  decreased  due to lower  variable
interest rates on the mortgage encumbering  Baymeadows  Apartments.  Tax expense
increased  due to an  increase  in the tax rate at Quail Run  Apartments  and an
increase in the assessed value at Baymeadows Apartments.

Included in general and administrative  expense for the three months ended March
31, 2004 and 2003 are management reimbursements to the Corporate General Partner
as allowed under the Partnership Agreement.  In addition,  costs associated with
the quarterly and annual  communications  with investors and regulatory agencies
and the annual audit required by the Partnership  Agreement are also included in
general and administrative expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  March  31,  2004,  the  Partnership   had  cash  and  cash   equivalents  of
approximately  $405,000  compared to  approximately  $909,000 at March 31, 2003.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased  approximately $754,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 due to approximately $1,185,000 and $93,000 of cash used in
financing  and  investing   activities,   respectively,   partially   offset  by
approximately  $524,000 of cash provided by operating  activities.  Cash used in
financing  activities  consisted of  distributions to the partners and principal
payments made on the mortgages  encumbering the Partnership's  properties.  Cash
used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements
partially  offset by net withdrawals  from restricted  escrows.  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 and is studying new federal laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional  compliance
measures with regard to governance,  disclosure, audit and other areas. In light
of these changes,  the  Partnership  expects that it will incur higher  expenses
related  to  compliance,  including  increased  legal  and audit  fees.  Capital
improvements  planned  for each of the  Partnership's  properties  are  detailed
below.

Baymeadows  Apartments:  During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2004,  the
Partnership   completed   approximately   $66,000  of  capital  improvements  at
Baymeadows Apartments,  consisting primarily of plumbing fixture, floor covering
and  air  conditioning   unit  replacements  and  electrical   upgrades.   These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow and replacement reserves.  The
Partnership  evaluates the capital  improvement needs of the property during the
year and  currently  expects  to  complete  an  additional  $431,000  in capital
improvements during the remainder of 2004.  Additional capital  improvements may
be considered and will depend on the physical  condition of the property as well
as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Quail Run  Apartments:  During  the three  months  ended  March  31,  2004,  the
Partnership completed approximately $32,000 of capital improvements at Quail Run
Apartments,  consisting  primarily of floor  covering  and gutter  replacements.
These  improvements  were  funded  from  operating  cash flow.  The  Partnership
evaluates  the capital  improvement  needs of the  property  during the year and
currently  expects to complete an  additional  $151,000 in capital  improvements
during the remainder of 2004.  Additional capital improvements may be considered
and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated
cash flow generated by the property.

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

The  Partnership's  assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term  needs
(exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. Approximately $8,105,000
of the mortgage indebtedness is being amortized over 240 months at which time it
is scheduled to be fully amortized.  The remaining indebtedness of approximately
$24,931,000  is being  amortized  over 360  months  with a  balloon  payment  of
approximately  $22,714,000 due in September 2007. The Corporate  General Partner
has the option to extend the maturity on this loan for another five years. After
that period,  the  Corporate  General  Partner  will  attempt to refinance  such
indebtedness  and/or  sell the  property  prior  to the  maturity  date.  If the
property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient  amount,  the Partnership
will risk losing the property through foreclosure.

The Partnership  distributed the following amounts during the three months ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands except per unit data):

</TABLE>

Future cash  distributions  will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, the availability of cash reserves and the timing of debt maturities,
refinancings  and/or  property  sales.  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 expenditures, to permit any further distributions to its partners in the
year 2004 or subsequent periods.

Other

In addition to its  indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interest in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  owned 34,451 limited  partnership  units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 68.91% of the outstanding Units at
March 31, 2004. 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 68.91% 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  corporate  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 consolidated 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 the  national,  regional  and  local  economic  climate;  local
conditions,  such as an oversupply of multifamily  properties;  competition from
other available  multifamily property owners and changes in market rental rates.
Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership's
assets.

Revenue Recognition

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

ITEM 3.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Partnership's management,  with the
participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
of the 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 (the "Heller action")
was filed  against  the same  defendants  that are named in the  Nuanes  action,
captioned  Heller v.  Insignia  Financial  Group.  On or about  August 6,  2001,
plaintiffs filed a first amended  complaint.  The Heller action was brought as a
purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach
of fiduciary  duty,  unfair  competition,  conversion,  unjust  enrichment,  and
judicial dissolution.

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

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

On June 13, 2003, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered
judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions.  On August 12, 2003, an objector
("Objector")  filed an  appeal  seeking  to  vacate  and/or  reverse  the  order
approving the settlement and entering  judgment  thereto.  On November 24, 2003,
the Objector filed an  application  requesting the Court order AIMCO to withdraw
settlement  tender offers it had  commenced,  refrain from making further offers
pending the appeal and auction any units tendered to third  parties,  contending
that the offers did not conform  with the terms of the  Settlement.  Counsel for
the Objector (on behalf of another  investor)  had  alternatively  requested the
Court take certain  action  purportedly  to enforce the terms of the  settlement
agreement.  On December 18, 2003,  the Court heard oral  argument on the motions
and denied them both in their entirety.  On January 28, 2004, Objector filed his
opening brief in his pending  appeal.  On April 23, 2004, the Corporate  General
Partner and its  affiliates  filed a response brief in support of the settlement
and the judgment  thereto.  Plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the
settlement.  Objector is  scheduled  to file a reply brief no later than May 13,
2004.

On August 8, 2003 AIMCO Properties  L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate  General
Partner,  was served  with a  Complaint  in the United  States  District  Court,
District of Columbia alleging that AIMCO Properties L.P.  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.  On March 5, 2004  Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint also naming NHP Management Company,  which is also an
affiliate  of the  Corporate  General  Partner.  The  Complaint  is  styled as 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. failed to compensate  maintenance workers for
time  that they were  required  to be  "on-call".  Additionally,  the  Complaint
alleges AIMCO  Properties  L.P.  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. Discovery is currently underway.

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.
