                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial  statements  of  Century
Properties Fund XVIII (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 Partnership's  general partner is Fox Partners.  The
general partners of Fox Partners are Fox Capital Management  Corporation ("FCMC"
or the  "Managing  General  Partner"),  Fox  Realty  Investors  ("FRI")  and Fox
Partners  82. The Managing  General  Partner,  as well as the  managing  general
partner of FRI, are affiliates of Apartment  Investment  and Management  Company
("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. In the opinion of the
Managing  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 fiscal 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 year ended December 31, 2002.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

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

Affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross
receipts  from  both of the  Partnership's  properties  for  providing  property
management  services.  The  Partnership  paid to such  affiliates  approximately
$58,000  and  $65,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2003 and 2002,
respectively, which is included in operating expenses.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $39,000 and
$48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,  which
is included in general and administrative expenses.

As  compensation  for the  services  rendered in managing the  Partnership,  the
Managing  General  Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership  Management  Fee
equal to 9% of  distributions  from  operations  as defined  in the  Partnership
Agreement.  During the three  months  ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,  no amounts
were paid to the Managing  General Partner as all  distributions  were made from
cumulative undistributed sales and refinancing proceeds.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  has  made  available  to the
Partnership  a  credit  line  of  up to  $150,000  per  property  owned  by  the
Partnership. At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due
under this line of credit.

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
Managing  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  $66,000 and $79,000,
respectively.

Note C - 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 Managing  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  Managing  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 Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking  dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing 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 Managing  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  Managing  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 Managing 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  Managing  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 Managing 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
Managing  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 Managing  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  Managing  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 the three
months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

                                                   Average Occupancy
      Property                                      2003       2002

      Oak Run Apartments                            91%        81%
        Dallas, Texas
      Overlook Point Apartments                     83%        96%
        Salt Lake City, Utah

Occupancy  at  Oak  Run  Apartments  increased  primarily  due  to an  increased
marketing  effort by the  property's  management  team over the past year  which
included a reduction in rental rates.

Occupancy at Overlook  Apartments  decreased due to a weak local economy and low
mortgage  interest  rates  enabling more tenants to buy homes.  During the first
quarter of 2002 occupancy was higher as a result of temporary  residents for the
Olympics. Also impacting the decrease in occupancy for the first quarter of 2003
is the deployment of military personnel from the area.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net loss for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2003 was
approximately  $55,000 compared to net income of  approximately  $31,000 for the
same period in 2002.  The  decrease in net income was due to a decrease in total
revenues slightly offset by a decrease in total expenses.  The decrease in total
revenues was primarily due to a decrease in rental  income  attributable  to the
decrease in occupancy at Overlook Apartments as discussed above.

Total   expenses   decreased  due  to  decreases  in   operating,   general  and
administrative and property tax expenses.  The decrease in operating expense was
primarily due to decreases in interior  painting costs at Oak Run Apartments and
property management fees paid to the Managing General Partner which are based on
a  percentage  of rental  revenues  generated  by the  properties.  General  and
administrative  expenses  decreased due to a decrease in certain  reimbursements
paid  to the  Managing  General  Partner  in  accordance  with  the  Partnership
Agreement.  The  decrease in  property  tax expense was due to a decrease in the
assessed  value by the local taxing  authorities  at Oak Run  Apartments and the
receipt of a refund of 2002 taxes at Overlook Point Apartments  during the three
months ended March 31, 2003.  Other  income,  depreciation  expense and interest
expense were relatively consistent for the comparable periods.

Included in general and administrative expenses is the cost of services provided
by the  Managing  General  Partner  and its  affiliates  as  allowed  under  the
Partnership Agreement.  Also included in general and administrative expenses are
costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and
regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the Managing 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 Managing 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
Managing 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  $539,000  compared to  approximately  $532,000 at March 31, 2002.
Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  approximately  $177,000 from December 31,
2002 due to  approximately  $51,000 and $172,000 of cash used in  investing  and
financing activities,  respectively, slightly offset by approximately $46,000 of
cash  provided  by  operating  activities.  Cash  used in  investing  activities
consisted of property  improvements  and replacements and deposits to restricted
escrows  maintained by the mortgage lenders.  Cash used in financing  activities
consisted  of  principal   payments  made  on  the  mortgages   encumbering  the
Partnership's  properties and  distributions  to the partners.  The  Partnership
invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  has  made  available  to the
Partnership  a  credit  line  of  up to  $150,000  per  property  owned  by  the
Partnership. At the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due
under this line of credit.  Other  than cash and cash  equivalents,  the line of
credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity.

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  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 Managing 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.

Oak Run Apartments: During the three months ended March 31, 2003 the Partnership
completed  approximately  $28,000 of capital  improvements at Oak Run Apartments
consisting primarily of floor covering replacements and parking lot resurfacing.
These  improvements  were funded from operations and replacement  reserves.  The
Partnership  evaluates the capital  improvement needs of the property during the
year and  currently  expects  to  complete  an  additional  $170,000  in capital
improvements during the remainder of 2003 consisting primarily of floor covering
replacements, cabinets and countertops, and structural improvements.  Additional
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.

Overlook  Point  Apartments:  During the three  months  ended March 31, 2003 the
Partnership completed  approximately $19,000 of capital improvements at Overlook
Point  Apartments  consisting  primarily  of  floor  covering  replacements  and
interior  painting.   These  improvements  were  funded  from  operations.   The
Partnership  evaluates the capital  improvement needs of the property during the
year and  currently  expects  to  complete  an  additional  $65,000  in  capital
improvements during the remainder of 2003 consisting primarily of floor covering
and appliance  replacements.  Additional 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 planned will be incurred only to the extent
of cash 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  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs  (exclusive  of capital  improvements)  of the  Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness of  approximately  $18,420,000 is being amortized over thirty years
with balloon payments of approximately  $9,728,000 and $8,127,000 due in October
2004 and September 2005, respectively. The Managing General Partner will attempt
to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity
dates. If the properties  cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient  amount,
the Partnership may risk losing such properties through foreclosure.

The Partnership  distributed the following amounts during the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except per unit data):

(1) From prior cumulative undistributed sale and refinancing proceeds.
</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  improvements  expenditures to permit  additional  distributions  to its
partners during the remainder of 2003 or subsequent periods.

In addition to its indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interests in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates owned 41,671.50 limited partnership units
(the "Units") in the Partnership  representing  55.56% of the total  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  either  through  private  purchases  or tender
offers. 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  without   limitation,   voting  on  certain  amendments  to  the
Partnership  Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General  Partner.  As a
result of its ownership of 55.56% of the total outstanding  Units, AIMCO is in a
position to  influence  all voting  decisions  with  respect to the  Registrant.
Insignia  Properties  L.P.  ("IPLP"),  an  affiliate  of AIMCO and the  Managing
General  Partner  indirectly,  had  agreed  for  the  benefit  of  non-tendering
unitholders,  that it would vote the 21,513 Units  acquired in January 1996: (i)
against any increase in compensation  payable to the Managing General Partner or
to affiliates;  and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates,
in proportion  to the votes cast by  non-tendering  unitholders.  Except for the
foregoing,  no other limitations are imposed on IPLP's,  AIMCO's or any of their
affiliates  right to vote each Unit  acquired.  Although  the  Managing  General
Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited  partners of the  Partnership,  the
Managing  General  Partner  also  owes  fiduciary  duties  to  AIMCO as its sole
stockholder.  As a  result,  the  duties of the  Managing  General  Partner,  as
managing general  partner,  to the Partnership and its limited partners may come
into conflict with the duties of the Managing  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 thirty 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 Managing
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 Managing  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  Managing  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 Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking  dismissal
of the action.  In lieu of responding  to the motion,  the  plaintiffs  filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing 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 Managing  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  Managing  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 Managing 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  Managing  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 Managing 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
Managing  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 Managing  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  Managing  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.
