DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None 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. PART I Item 1. Description of Business Century Properties Fund XVIII (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized in July 1982 as a California limited partnership under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the California Corporations Code. Fox Partners, a California general partnership, is the general partner of the Registrant. The general partners of Fox Partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation (the "Managing General Partner" or "FCMC"), a California corporation, Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership, and Fox Partners 82, a California general partnership. NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("NPI Equity"), a Florida corporation, is the managing general partner of FRI. The Managing General Partner and NPI Equity are subsidiaries of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2007, unless such date is modified or amended in accordance with applicable law. The principal business of the Registrant is to operate and hold real estate properties for investment. From February 1983 to September 1983, the Registrant offered and sold 75,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units") at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit for an aggregate of $75,000,000 pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The net proceeds of the offering were used to acquire 12 income-producing real estate properties. The Registrant's original property portfolio was geographically diversified with properties acquired in seven states. The Registrant's acquisition activities were completed in June 1984, and since then, the principal activity of the Registrant has been managing its portfolio. In the period from 1987 through February 1994, ten properties were either sold or otherwise disposed. In October 2003, the Partnership sold Overlook Apartments. At December 31, 2004, the Registrant continues to own and operate one remaining property. See "Item 2. Description of Property". The Partnership has no full time employees. The Managing General Partner is vested with full authority as to the general management and supervision of the business and affairs of the Partnership. The Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management or conduct of such business and affairs. Property management services are performed at the Partnership's properties by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Management and administrative services are provided by the Managing General Partner and by agents retained by the Managing General Partner. Property management services are provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. Risk Factors The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive. There are other residential properties within the market area of the Partnership's property. The number and quality of competitive properties, including those which may be managed by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, in such market area could have a material effect on the rental market for the apartments at the Partnership's property and the rents that may be charged for such apartments. While the Managing General Partner and its affiliates own and/or control a significant number of apartment units in the United States such units represent an insignificant percentage of total apartment units in the United States and competition for apartments is local. Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership's incurrence of unanticipated expenses. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership's property, or restrict renovations of the property. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the Managing General Partner believes that the Partnership's property is substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA. Both the income and expenses of operating the property owned by the Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as changes in the supply and demand for similar properties resulting from various market conditions, increases/decreases in unemployment or population shifts, changes in the availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning laws, or changes in patterns or needs of users. In addition, there are risks inherent in owning and operating residential properties because such properties are susceptible to the impact of economic and other conditions outside of the control of the Partnership. From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at the Partnership's property. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats of such activities could have on the Partnership's operations is uncertain and unpredictable. If the Partnership were to incur a loss at a property as a result of an act of terrorism, the Partnership could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the property. In this regard, the Partnership has purchased insurance to cover acts of terrorism. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that these costs will have a negative effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the property owned by the Partnership. The Partnership monitors its property for evidence of pollutants, toxins and other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases environmental testing has been performed which resulted in no material adverse conditions or liabilities. In no case has the Partnership received notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up site. A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" included in "Item 6" of this Form 10-KSB. Item 2. Description of Property The following table sets forth the Partnership's investment in property: Date of Property Purchase Type of Ownership Use Oak Run Apartments 11/83 Fee ownership subject Apartments Dallas, Texas to first mortgage (1) 420 units (1) The property is held by Oak Run, LP in which the Partnership owns, on a fully liquidated basis, a 100% interest. On October 31, 2003, the Partnership sold Overlook Point Apartments to an unrelated third party, for a gross sale price of $15,600,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $15,317,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $283,000. The Partnership used approximately $8,397,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership realized a gain of approximately $10,546,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, as a result of this sale and this amount is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The property's operations, a loss of approximately $440,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, including revenues of approximately $1,545,000 are included in loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $606,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 due to the write-off of approximately $47,000 of unamortized loan costs and the payment of approximately $559,000 for a prepayment penalty relating to the repayment of the mortgage encumbering the property. Schedule of Property Set forth below for the Partnership's property is the gross carrying value, accumulated depreciation, depreciable life, method of depreciation and Federal tax basis.
Carrying Accumulated Depreciable Federal Property Value Depreciation Life Method Tax Basis (in thousands) (in thousands) Oak Run Apartments $18,694 $ 8,503 5-30 yrs S/L $ 6,256
See "Item 7. Financial Statements - Note A" to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the Partnership's capitalization and depreciation policies. Schedule of Property Indebtedness The following table sets forth certain information relating to the loan encumbering the Partnership's property.
Principal Principal Balance At Stated Balance December 31, Interest Period Maturity Due At Property 2004 Rate Amortized Date Maturity (1) (in thousands) (in thousands) Oak Run Apartments $ 8,500 (2) (3) 10/2007 $ 8,500
(1) See "Item 7. Financial Statements - Note B" for information with respect to the Partnership's ability to prepay this loan and other more specific details as to the terms of the loan. (2) Adjustable rate equal to the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month plus 285 basis points (minimum of 4.69%). The rate at December 31, 2004 was 5.25% and will reset monthly. (3) Interest only payments. On October 1, 2004, the Partnership obtained a mortgage of $8,500,000 on its sole investment property, Oak Run Apartments, located in Dallas, Texas. The existing mortgage of approximately $9,728,000 matured on October 1, 2004 and was repaid with proceeds from the new mortgage and an additional loan of approximately $1,918,000, which was funded by an affiliate of the Partnership's managing general partner ("Affiliate Loan") to cover closing costs and the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. The Affiliate Loan is a demand note that bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest which began on November 1, 2004 until the loan matures October 1, 2007, with interest being equal to the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month plus 285 basis points (minimum rate of 4.69%). In conjuction with the mortgage note, the Partnership paid approximately $30,000 to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which limited the Partnership's exposure to interest rate increases. Under this interest rate cap agreement, the Partnership's interest rate on the amounts owed to GMAC Commercial Mortgage will be no higher than 6.00%. This agreement expires October 1, 2007. The Partnership has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which was amended by SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of SFAS No. 133". The Partnership's interest rate cap does not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment as defined by SFAS 133, and therefore all changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to interest expense. In addition the new mortgage requires monthly escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement reserves. As a condition of making the new mortgage, the lender required an affiliate of the Partnership to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage. Schedule of Rental Rates and Occupancy Average annual rental rate and occupancy for 2004 and 2003 for the property: Average Annual Average Annual Rental Rates Occupancy (per unit) Property 2004 2003 2004 2003 Oak Run Apartments $5,951 $6,201 80% 90% Occupancy at Oak Run Apartments decreased as a result of changes in the criteria used to accept new tenants and increased competition in the Dallas market. The changes were instituted in an effort to attract and maintain more desirable tenants which will help to control operating expenses. As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. The Partnership's property is subject to competition from other apartment complexes in the area. The Managing General Partner believes that the property is adequately insured. The property is an apartment complex which leases units for lease terms of one year or less. No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. The property is in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age. Real Estate Taxes and Rates Real estate taxes and rates in 2004 for the property were: 2004 2004 Billing Rate (in thousands) Oak Run Apartments $ 317 2.93% Capital Improvements During the year ended December 31, 2004 the Partnership completed approximately $757,000 of capital improvements at Oak Run Apartments consisting primarily of plumbing fixtures, structural upgrades, exterior painting, appliances, counter top and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded from operations and replacement reserves. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2005. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term. Item 3. 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 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 Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 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 Managing 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 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. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On 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. The Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court's use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees. On January 28, 2004, the Objector filed his opening brief in the Appeal. On April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. The plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs. In addition both the Objector and plaintiffs filed briefs in connection with the second appeal. On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals. With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court's order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the "state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review". With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. 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. As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, are defendants in an action in the United States District Court, District of Columbia. The plaintiffs have styled their complaint as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and seek 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, plaintiffs allege 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 relating to the certification of the collective action has concluded and briefing on the matter is underway. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the Managing 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. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, no matter was submitted to a vote of unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Common Equity and Related Security Holder Matters The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 75,000 Limited Partnership Units aggregating $75,000,000. The Partnership has 75,000 units outstanding held by 3,270 Limited Partners of record at December 31, 2004. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner owned 42,694.50 or 56.93% of the limited partnership units at December 31, 2004. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future. The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:
Per Limited Per Limited Year Ended Partnership Year Ended Partnership December 31, 2004 Unit December 31, 2003 Unit (in thousands) (in thousands) Sale and Refinancing (1) $ -- $ -- $6,307 $83.25
(1) Approximately $1,358,000 from prior cumulative undistributed sale and refinancing proceeds and approximately $4,949,000 from the sale of Overlook Point Apartments. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. 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 anticipated capital expenditures, to permit distributions to its partners in 2005 or subsequent periods. See "Item 2. Description of Property - Capital Improvements" for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the property. In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 42,694.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 56.93% of the total outstanding Units at December 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. 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 56.93% of the total outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. AIMCO IPLP, L.P., formerly 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. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report. The Partnership's financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property 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, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership, such as the local economic climate and weather, can adversely or positively affect the Partnership's financial results. Results of Operations The Partnership's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $805,000, as compared to net income of approximately $9,706,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in net income is due to the recognition of a gain from sale of discontinued operations in 2003 and an increase in loss from continuing operations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" requires that long-lived assets held for sale or already disposed of be reported as discontinued operations on the statement of operations. On October 31, 2003, the Partnership sold Overlook Point Apartments to an unrelated third party, for a gross sale price of $15,600,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $15,317,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $283,000. The Partnership used approximately $8,397,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership realized a gain of approximately $10,546,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, as a result of this sale and this amount is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. The property's operations, a loss of approximately $440,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, including revenues of approximately $1,545,000, are included in loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $606,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 due to the write-off of approximately $47,000 of unamortized loan costs and the payment of approximately $559,000 for a prepayment penalty relating to the repayment of the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership's loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 was approximately $805,000 compared to a loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 of approximately $400,000. The increase in loss from continuing operations was due to a decrease in total revenues and a slight increase in total expenses. Total revenues decreased due to a decrease in rental income partially offset by an increase in other income. Rental income decreased due to a decrease in occupancy at Oak Run Apartments and an increase in bad debt and concession expenses. Other income increased due to increases in lease cancellation fees and cleaning and damage fees partially offset by a decrease in late charges at Oak Run Apartments. Total expenses increased for the year ending December 31, 2004 due to increases in operating and depreciation expenses partially offset by decreases in general and administrative and interest expenses. Property tax expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Operating expense increased due to increases in advertising, property, and maintenance expenses partially offset by decreases in administrative and management fee expenses. Advertising increased due to an increase in web advertising and leasing promotions in an effort to increse occupancy levels. Property expense increased due to an increase in utility costs and leasing personnel costs. Maintenance expense increased due to increases in contract painting, electrical and plumbing supplies and contract decorating costs. Administrative expenses decreased due to a decrease in property legal fees as a result of the settlement of a civil case in the prior year and a decrease in tax services. Management fees decreased as a result of the decrease in rental income on which such fees are based. Depreciation expense increased due to property improvements and replacements being placed into service during the past twelve months which are now being depreciated. Interest expense decreased due to the refinancing of the mortgage encumbering Oak Run Apartments as discussed below. General and administrative expenses decreased as a result of the sale of Overlook Apartments during 2003, which resulted in a decrease in accountable reimbursements paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner in accordance with 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. Capital Resources and Liquidity At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $103,000 compared to approximately $683,000 at December 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $580,000 from December 31, 2003. The decrease is due to approximately $647,000 and $558,000 of cash used in investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $625,000 of cash provided by financing activities. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements partially offset by withdrawals from restricted escrows maintained by the mortgage lender. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from an affiliate and proceeds from the new mortgage encumbering the Partnership's investment property partially offset by principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's property, repayment of the mortgage encumbering the same property, repayment of advances from an affiliate and the payment of loan costs and a rate cap fee. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2004, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner agreed to advance funds in excess of the $150,000 line of credit to fund operating expenses of Oak Run Apartments, an amount to cover costs associated with obtaining a new mortgage on the property, and the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. During the year ended December 31, 2004 approximately $2,227,000 was advanced for these purposes. The Partnership repaid approximately $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no advances or repayment of advances during the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance was approximately $2,202,000 including accrued interest. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). Interest expense amounted to approximately $38,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2005. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The Partnership's current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. On October 1, 2004, the Partnership obtained a mortgage of $8,500,000 on its sole investment property, Oak Run Apartments, located in Dallas, Texas. The existing mortgage of approximately $9,728,000 matured on October 1, 2004 and was repaid with proceeds from the new mortgage and an additional loan of approximately $1,918,000, which was funded by an affiliate of the Partnership's managing general partner ("Affiliate Loan") to cover closing costs and the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. The Affiliate Loan is a demand note that bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest which began on November 1, 2004 until the loan matures October 1, 2007, with interest being equal to the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month plus 285 basis points (minimum rate of 4.69%). In conjunction with the mortgage note, the Partnership paid approximately $30,000 to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which limited the Partnership's exposure to interest rate increases. Under this interest rate cap agreement, the Partnership's interest rate on the amounts owed to GMAC Commercial Mortgage will be no higher than 6.00%. This agreement expires October 1, 2007. The Partnership has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which was amended by SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of SFAS No. 133". The Partnership's interest rate cap does not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment as defined by SFAS 133, and therefore all changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to interest expense. In addition the new mortgage requires monthly escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement reserves. As a condition of making the new mortgage, the lender required an affiliate of the Partnership to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage. The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003:
Per Limited Per Limited Year Ended Partnership Year Ended Partnership December 31, 2004 Unit December 31, 2003 Unit (in thousands) (in thousands) Sale and Refinancing (1) $ -- $ -- $6,307 $83.25
(1) Approximately $1,358,000 from prior cumulative, undistributed sale and refinancing proceeds and approximately $4,949,000 from the sale of Overlook Point Apartments. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, the timing of debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. 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 anticipated capital expenditures, to permit distributions to its partners in 2005 or subsequent periods. See "Item 2. Description of Property - Capital Improvements" for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the property. Other In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 42,694.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 56.93% of the total outstanding Units at December 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. 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 56.93% of the total outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. AIMCO IPLP, L.P., formerly 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 A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies is included in "Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the consolidated financial statements in "Item 7. Financial Statements". The Managing General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership's operating results and financial condition. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership's accounting policies in many areas. 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 The investment property is 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 property. 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 an impairment in the Partnership's asset. Revenue Recognition The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Century Properties Fund XVIII at December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ERNST & YOUNG LLP Greenville, South Carolina March 21, 2005 CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XVIII CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (in thousands, except unit data) December 31, 2004

See Accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XVIII NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization: Century Properties Fund XVIII (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a California limited partnership organized in July 1982 to acquire and operate residential apartment complexes. The Partnership's general partner is Fox Partners. The general partners of Fox Partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation (the "Managing General Partner" or "FCMC"), 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"). As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership operates one residential apartment complex located in Texas. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2007, unless such date is modified or amended in accordance with applicable law. Principles of Consolidation: The Partnership's financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly-owned partnership, Oak Run LP, the entity which holds title to Oak Run Apartments. All interpartnership transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Allocations to Partners: Net income, losses and cash available for distribution (excluding those arising from the occurrence of sales or dispositions) of the Partnership will be allocated (i) 9% to the General Partner and (ii) the remainder allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners on an annual basis. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, any gain from the sale or other disposition of Partnership properties shall be allocated; (i) first to the General Partner to the extent it is entitled to receive distributions of cash pursuant to the above and from the sale or disposition of properties (ii) next, until such time as the General Partner does not have a deficit in its capital account, 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the Limited Partnership Unitholders, and (iii) to the Limited Partnership Unitholders. Cash from sales or other dispositions, or refinancing and working capital reserves are distributed 99% to the Limited Partnership Unitholders and 1% to the General Partner, until: (i) each Limited Partnership Unitholder receives an amount which equals the total of their original invested capital contributed for his Limited Partnership Units and (ii) a sum equal to 8% per year, as determined on a cumulative, non-compounded basis, on the Adjusted Invested Capital, as adjusted from time to time, of such Limited Partnership Unitholder, calculated from the first day of the month in which he was admitted as a Limited Partner. Thereafter, the General Partner will receive 15% of any additional cash from sales or refinancing and working capital reserve available for distribution and, finally, the remainder of such being allocated 99% to the Limited Partnership Unitholders and 1% to the General Partner. Upon sale of all properties and termination of the Partnership, the General Partner may be required to contribute certain funds to the Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Depreciation: Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment property and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery method is used for real property over 19 years for additions after May 8, 1985, and before January 1, 1987. As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for additions after December 31, 1986, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property over 27.5 years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances included approximately $91,000 at December 31, 2004 that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts. Security Deposits: The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease. The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its rental payments. Leases: The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants. Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $176,000 are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the term of the related loan agreement. At December 31, 2004, accumulated amortization is approximately $15,000. Amortization of loan costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense is expected to be $59,000 in 2005 through 2007. Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses. Investment Property: Investment property consist of one apartment complex and is stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. The Partnership capitalizes all expenditures in excess of $250 that clearly relate to the acquisition and installation of real and personal property components. These expenditures include costs incurred to replace existing property components, costs incurred to add a material new feature to a property, and costs that increase the useful life or service potential of a property component. These capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. No adjustments for impairment of value were recorded in the years ended December 31, 2004 or 2003. Income Taxes: Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long term debt by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, fully amortizing long term debt. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate approximates its carrying value at December 31, 2004. Derivative Financial Instruments: For the Partnership's variable rate debt, the Managing General Partner has entered into an interest rate cap agreement to reduce the Partnership's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate cap agreement entered into in conjunction with the Oak Run Apartments refinancing effectively limits the Partnership's exposure to interest rate risk by providing a ceiling on the underlying variable interest rate. The fair value of this instrument is reflected as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet, and periodic changes in fair value are included in interest expense. This instrument is not material to the Partnership's consolidated financial position and results of operations. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs of approximately $48,000 and $86,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, are included in operating expenses and loss from discontinued operations. Segment Reporting: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment. Note B - Mortgage Note Payable The terms of mortgage note payable are as follows:
Principal Principal Balance At Stated Balance December 31, Interest Maturity Due At Property 2004 Rate Date Maturity (in thousands) (in thousands) Oak Run Apartments $ 8,500 (1) 10/2007 $ 8,500
(1) Adjustable rate equal to the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month plus 285 basis points (minimum of 4.69%). The rate at December 31, 2004 was 5.25% and will reset monthly. On October 1, 2004, the Partnership obtained a mortgage of $8,500,000 on its sole investment property, Oak Run Apartments, located in Dallas, Texas. The existing mortgage of approximately $9,728,000 matured on October 1, 2004 and was repaid with proceeds from the new mortgage and an additional loan of approximately $1,918,000, which was funded by an affiliate of the Partnership's managing general partner ("Affiliate Loan") to cover closing costs and the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. The Affiliate Loan is a demand note that bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). The new mortgage requires monthly payments of interest which began on November 1, 2004 until the loan matures October 1, 2007, with interest being equal to the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month plus 285 basis points (minimum rate of 4.69%). In conjuction with the mortgage note, the Partnership paid approximately $30,000 to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which limited the Partnership's exposure to interest rate increases. Under this interest rate cap agreement, the Partnership's interest rate on the amounts owed to GMAC Commercial Mortgage will be no higher than 6.00%. This agreement expires October 1, 2007. The Partnership has adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which was amended by SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of SFAS No. 133". The Partnership's interest rate cap does not qualify for special hedge accounting treatment as defined by SFAS 133, and therefore all changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as an adjustment to interest expense. In addition the new mortgage requires monthly escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement reserves. As a condition of making the new mortgage, the lender required an affiliate of the Partnership to guarantee the obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage. The mortgage note payable is non-recourse and is secured by a pledge of the Partnership's rental property and by a pledge of revenues from the property. The mortgage note payable includes a prepayment penalty if repaid prior to its maturity. Further, the property may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness. Note C - Income Taxes Differences between the net (loss) income as reported and Federal taxable income result primarily from depreciation over different methods and lives and on differing cost basis. The following is a reconciliation of reported net income and Federal taxable income (in thousands, except per unit data): 2004 2003 Net (loss) income as reported $ (805) $ 9,706 Add (deduct): Depreciation differences 73 431 Gain on sale -- 2,653 Other 33 (50) Federal taxable (loss) income $ (699) $12,740 Federal taxable (loss) income per limited partnership unit $ (8.39) $152.17 The following is a reconciliation between the Partnership's reported amounts and Federal tax basis of net liabilities (in thousands): 2004 Net liabilities as reported $ (216) Land and buildings 1,196 Accumulated depreciation (5,131) Syndication and distribution costs 9,592 Other 163 Net assets - Federal tax basis $ 5,604 Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties The Partnership has no employees and depends 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 receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership's properties for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $106,000 and $219,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in operating expense and loss from discontinued operations. 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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no amounts were paid to the Managing General Partner as all distributions were made from cumulative undistributed sales and refinancing proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2003 and there were no distributions during the year ended December 31, 2004. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $138,000 and $177,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2004, approximately $73,000 of reimbursements for services were accrued by the Partnership and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2004, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner agreed to advance funds in excess of the $150,000 line of credit to fund operating expenses of Oak Run Apartments, costs associated with obtaining a new mortgage on the property and an amount to cover the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. During the year ended December 31, 2004 approximately $2,227,000 was advanced for these purposes. The Partnership repaid approximately $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no advances or repayment of advances during the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance was approximately $2,202,000 including accrued interest. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). Interest expense amounted to approximately $38,000 for the year ended December 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 Managing General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $39,000 and $66,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 42,694.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 56.93% of the total outstanding Units at December 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. 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 56.93% of the total outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. AIMCO IPLP, L.P., formerly 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.

The accumulated depreciation taken for Federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2004 and 2003, is approximately $13,634,000 and $13,204,000, respectively. Note F - Disposition of Investment Property On October 31, 2003, the Partnership sold Overlook Point Apartments to an unrelated third party, for a gross sale price of $15,600,000. The net proceeds realized by the Partnership were approximately $15,317,000 after payment of closing costs of approximately $283,000. The Partnership used approximately $8,397,000 of the net proceeds to repay the mortgage encumbering the property. The Partnership realized a gain of approximately $10,546,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, as a result of this sale and this amount is included in gain on sale of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The property's operations, a loss of approximately $440,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, including revenues of approximately $1,545,000, are included in loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations includes a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $606,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 due to the write-off of approximately $47,000 of unamortized loan costs and the payment of approximately $559,000 for a prepayment penalty relating to the repayment of the mortgage encumbering the property. Note G - 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 Managing 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 Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 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 Managing 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 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. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the "Appeal") seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On 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. The Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court's use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees. On January 28, 2004, the Objector filed his opening brief in the Appeal. On April 23, 2004, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a response brief in support of the settlement and the judgment thereto. The plaintiffs have also filed a brief in support of the settlement. On June 4, 2004, Objector filed a reply to the briefs submitted by the Managing General Partner and Plaintiffs. In addition both the Objector and plaintiffs filed briefs in connection with the second appeal. On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals. With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court's order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the "state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review". With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. 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. As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, are defendants in an action in the United States District Court, District of Columbia. The plaintiffs have styled their complaint as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and seek 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, plaintiffs allege 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 relating to the certification of the collective action has concluded and briefing on the matter is currently underway. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the Managing 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. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. Environmental Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership and operation of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. Mold The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and the Managing General Partner believes that these measures will eliminate, or at least minimize, the effects that mold could have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the Managing General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. SEC Investigation As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") is conducting a formal investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may investigate, AIMCO believes the areas of investigation include AIMCO's miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, and tax credit transactions. AIMCO is cooperating fully. AIMCO is not able to predict when the matter will be resolved. AIMCO does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the Managing 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. Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures None. Item 8a. 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 Managing 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 Managing 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 fourth quarter of 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Item 8b. Other Information None. PART III Item 9.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions The Partnership has no employees and depends 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 receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership's properties for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $106,000 and $219,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in operating expense and loss from discontinued operations. 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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, no amounts were paid to the Managing General Partner as all distributions were made from cumulative undistributed sales and refinancing proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2003 and there were no distributions during the year ended December 31, 2004. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $138,000 and $177,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2004, approximately $73,000 of reimbursements for services were accrued by the Partnership and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 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. During the year ended December 31, 2004, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner agreed to advance funds in excess of the $150,000 line of credit to fund operating expenses of Oak Run Apartments, costs associated with obtaining a new mortgage on the property and an amount to cover the deficiency between the existing mortgage payoff amount and the new mortgage. During the year ended December 31, 2004 approximately $2,227,000 was advanced for these purposes. The Partnership repaid approximately $63,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004. There were no advances or repayment of advances during the year ended December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2004 the outstanding balance was approximately $2,202,000 including accrued interest. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% (7.25% at December 31, 2004). Interest expense amounted to approximately $38,000 for the year ended December 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 Managing General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $39,000 and $66,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interests in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 42,694.50 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 56.93% of the total outstanding Units at December 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. 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 56.93% of the total outstanding Units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. AIMCO IPLP, L.P., formerly 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. Item 13. Exhibits See Exhibit Index. Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services The Managing General Partner has reappointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Partnership for 2005. The aggregate fees billed for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for 2004 and 2003 are described below. Audit Fees. Fees for audit services totaled approximately $29,000 and $37,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Fees for audit services also include fees for the reviews of the Partnership's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB. Tax Fees. Fees for tax services totaled approximately $7,000 and $11,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively.
