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,  2003,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2003. 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, 2002.  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.

The  Corporate  General  Partner  believed it to be in the best  interest of the
Partnership to reserve net cash from  operations of  approximately  $349,000 and
$138,000 at March 31, 2003 and 2002,  respectively,  to fund continuing  capital
improvements and repairs at the Partnership's two investment properties.

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, 2003 and
2002,  the  Partnership  paid  to such  affiliates  approximately  $127,000  and
$133,000, respectively, which is included in operating expense.

Affiliates  of  the  Corporate   General  Partner   received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $80,000 and
$167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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
$25,000  and  $84,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2003 and 2002,
respectively. The construction management service fees are calculated based upon
a percentage of additions to the investment properties.

In accordance  with the  Partnership  Agreement,  the Corporate  General Partner
loaned the  Partnership  funds to assist in paying  property  taxes at Quail Run
Apartments.  During the three  months  ended  March 31,  2002,  the  Partnership
received advances of approximately  $95,000 which were repaid prior to March 31,
2003.  Interest was charged at the prime rate plus 2%. Interest expense was less
than $1,000 for the three months  ended March 31,  2002.  There were no advances
made during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

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, 2003.

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 2003 and 2002, the  Partnership's  cost for
insurance  coverage  and  fees  associated  with  policy  claims  administration
provided  by  AIMCO  and its  affiliates  will  be  approximately  $172,000  and
$208,000, respectively.

Note D - Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the
State of  California  for the  County  of San  Mateo.  The  plaintiffs  named as
defendants,  among others,  the Partnership,  its Corporate  General Partner and
several of their  affiliated  partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action
purports  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class  of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  which 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 which 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  seek  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
On June 25, 1998, the Corporate General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended complaint.  The Corporate General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint which were heard February 1999.

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

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action  described below. On April
4, 2003, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and scheduled a hearing
on final approval for June 2, 2003.

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
a tender offer to purchase all of the partnership  interests in the Partnerships
within one year of final  approval,  if it is granted,  and to provide  partners
with the  independent  appraisals  at the time of these  tenders.  The  proposed
settlement  also provides 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.

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 first amended complaint in the Heller action is
brought as a purported  derivative  action,  and asserts  claims for among other
things  breach  of  fiduciary  duty;  unfair  competition;   conversion,  unjust
enrichment;  and judicial  dissolution.  Plaintiffs in the Nuanes action filed a
motion to  consolidate  the Heller action with the Nuanes action and stated that
the Heller action was filed in order to preserve the derivative claims that were
dismissed  without  leave to amend in the Nuanes action by the Court order dated
July 10, 2001. On October 5, 2001, the Corporate  General Partner and affiliated
defendants  moved to strike the first  amended  complaint  in its  entirety  for
violating  the Court's July 10, 2001 order  granting in part and denying in part
defendants'  demurrer in the Nuanes action, or alternatively,  to strike certain
portions of the complaint based on the statute of limitations.  Other defendants
in the action  demurred to the fourth  amended  complaint,  and,  alternatively,
moved to strike the complaint. On December 11, 2001, the court heard argument on
the motions  and took the matters  under  submission.  On February 4, 2002,  the
Court  served  notice of its order  granting  defendants'  motion to strike  the
Heller complaint as a violation of its July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes action.
On March 27, 2002,  the plaintiffs  filed a notice  appealing the order striking
the  complaint.  Before  completing  briefing on the appeal,  the parties stayed
further proceedings in the appeal pending the Court's review of the terms of the
proposed settlement described above.

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 that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

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

The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance
and the effect of government  regulations.  The discussions of the  Registrant's
business  and  results  of  operations,   including  forward-looking  statements
pertaining to such matters,  do not take into account the effects of any changes
to the  Registrant's  business  and results of  operations.  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; 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, 2003 and 2002:

                                                            Average
                                                           Occupancy
       Property                                        2003          2002

       Baymeadows Apartments
         Jacksonville, Florida                         96%            96%

       Quail Run Apartments
         Columbia, South Carolina                      85%            90%

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

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net income for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2003 was
approximately  $271,000 compared to net income of approximately $258,000 for the
corresponding  period in 2002.  The increase in net income was due to a decrease
in total expenses partially offset by a decrease in total revenue. Total revenue
decreased due to a decrease in other income  partially  offset by an increase in
rental income. Rental income increased due to an increase in the rental rate and
a decrease in special promotions at Baymeadows  Apartments partially offset by a
decrease in occupancy at Quail Run  Apartments.  Other income  decreased  due to
decreases in lease  cancellation  fees and utility  reimbursements at Baymeadows
Apartments.

Total  expenses  decreased  due to decreases in general and  administrative  and
interest  expenses offset by increases in operating and  depreciation  expenses.
Interest  expense  decreased  due to the  refinancing  in 2002  of the  mortgage
encumbering  Baymeadows  Apartments  that  resulted  in a lower  interest  rate.
Operating  expenses  increased  due  to  an  increase  in  maintenance  expenses
partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in  property  expense.  Maintenance  expense
increased  due to an increase in contract  repairs and payroll  related costs at
both  properties.  Property  expense  decreased  due to a  decrease  in  utility
expenses  at  Baymeadows  Apartments.  Depreciation  expense  increased  due  to
property additions at both investment properties.

General   and   administrative   expenses   decreased   due  to  a  decrease  in
reimbursements  due to the Corporate  General  Partner.  Included in general and
administrative  expense for the three  months  ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 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 expenses.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  March  31,  2003,  the  Partnership   had  cash  and  cash   equivalents  of
approximately  $909,000 as compared to approximately $272,000 at March 31, 2002.
Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  approximately  $1,077,000  for the  three
months ended March 31, 2003 from the Partnership's year end due to approximately
$1,692,000  and $299,000 of cash used in  financing  and  investing  activities,
respectively,  partially  offset by  approximately  $914,000 of cash provided by
operating   activities.   Cash  used  in  financing   activities   consisted  of
distributions to the partners, loan cost additions,  and principal payments made
on  the  mortgages  encumbering  the  Partnership's  properties.  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 registrant and to comply with
Federal,  state,  and local  legal an  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,  2003,  the
Partnership  completed   approximately   $271,000  of  capital  improvements  at
Baymeadows  Apartments,  consisting  primarily of appliance  and floor  covering
replacements,  structural  improvements,  air conditioning  units and electrical
upgrades.   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  $1,545,000  in capital
improvements  during the remainder of 2003. The additional capital  improvements
will consist  primarily of appliances,  floor covering  replacements,  cabinets,
HVAC replacements, pool upgrades, building improvements,  exterior lighting, and
fencing.  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,  2003,  the
Partnership completed approximately $28,000 of capital improvements at Quail Run
Apartments,  consisting  primarily  of  floor  covering  replacements,  plumbing
fixtures, interior decoration and computers. 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
$96,000 in capital  improvements  during the remainder of 2003.  The  additional
capital  improvements  will consist  primarily  of roof and window  replacements
window  coverings,  appliances,  floor  covering  replacements,   computers  and
cabinets.  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.

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 $8,317,000
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
$25,551,000  is  being  amortized  over 60  months  with a  balloon  payment  of
approximately  $22,714,000 due in September 2007. The Corporate  General Partner
will attempt to refinance  such  indebtedness  and/or sell the property prior to
such  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, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands except per unit data):

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 2003 or subsequent periods.

Other

In addition to its  indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interest in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  owned 34,253 limited  partnership  units
(the "Units") in the Partnership representing 68.51% of the outstanding units at
March 31, 2003. A number of these units were acquired  pursuant to tender offers
made by AIMCO or its  affiliates.  It is possible  that AIMCO or its  affiliates
will acquire additional units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership
in  exchange  for  cash or a  combination  of cash and  units  in the  operating
partnership of AIMCO.  Under the Partnership  Agreement,  unitholders  holding a
majority of the Units are  entitled to take action with  respect to a variety of
matters,  which would include  voting on certain  amendments to the  Partnership
Agreement and voting to remove the Corporate General Partner. As a result of its
ownership of 68.51% of the outstanding  Units, AIMCO is in a position to control
all such voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. 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  changes  in the
national,  regional and local economic  climate;  local  conditions,  such as an
oversupply  of  multifamily   properties;   competition   from  other  available
multifamily  property  owners and changes in market  rental  rates.  Any adverse
changes in these factors could cause an impairment in the Partnership's assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.
Rental income  attributable to leases is recognized  monthly as it is earned and
the  Partnership  fully  reserves all  balances  outstanding  over 30 days.  The
Partnership will offer rental concessions during  particularly slow months or in
response  to  heavy  competition  from  other  similar  complexes  in the  area.
Concessions are charged to income as incurred.

ITEM 3.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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, within 90 days of
the filing date of this quarterly  report,  evaluated the  effectiveness  of the
Partnership's  disclosure  controls and  procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) and have determined that such disclosure controls
and  procedures  are  adequate.  There have been no  significant  changes in the
Partnership's  internal  controls or in other  factors that could  significantly
affect the  Partnership's  internal  controls since the date of evaluation.  The
Partnership does not believe any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses
exist in the Partnership's internal controls. Accordingly, no corrective actions
have been taken.

                           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
purports  to  assert  claims  on  behalf  of a class  of  limited  partners  and
derivatively  on behalf  of a number  of  limited  partnerships  (including  the
Partnership)  which 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 which 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  seek  monetary
damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership.
On June 25, 1998, the Corporate General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended complaint.  The Corporate General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint which were heard February 1999.

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

On January 8, 2003,  the parties filed a  Stipulation  of Settlement in proposed
settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action  described below. On April
4, 2003, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and scheduled a hearing
on final approval for June 2, 2003.

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
a tender offer to purchase all of the partnership  interests in the Partnerships
within one year of final  approval,  if it is granted,  and to provide  partners
with the  independent  appraisals  at the time of these  tenders.  The  proposed
settlement  also provides 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.

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 first amended complaint in the Heller action is
brought as a purported  derivative  action,  and asserts  claims for among other
things  breach  of  fiduciary  duty;  unfair  competition;   conversion,  unjust
enrichment;  and judicial  dissolution.  Plaintiffs in the Nuanes action filed a
motion to  consolidate  the Heller action with the Nuanes action and stated that
the Heller action was filed in order to preserve the derivative claims that were
dismissed  without  leave to amend in the Nuanes action by the Court order dated
July 10, 2001. On October 5, 2001, the Corporate  General Partner and affiliated
defendants  moved to strike the first  amended  complaint  in its  entirety  for
violating  the Court's July 10, 2001 order  granting in part and denying in part
defendants'  demurrer in the Nuanes action, or alternatively,  to strike certain
portions of the complaint based on the statute of limitations.  Other defendants
in the action  demurred to the fourth  amended  complaint,  and,  alternatively,
moved to strike the complaint. On December 11, 2001, the court heard argument on
the motions  and took the matters  under  submission.  On February 4, 2002,  the
Court  served  notice of its order  granting  defendants'  motion to strike  the
Heller complaint as a violation of its July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes action.
On March 27, 2002,  the plaintiffs  filed a notice  appealing the order striking
the  complaint.  Before  completing  briefing on the appeal,  the parties stayed
further proceedings in the appeal pending the Court's review of the terms of the
proposed settlement described above.

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.
