-iii- 4 SUMMARY TERM SHEET This summary term sheet highlights the most material information regarding our offer, but it does not describe all of the details thereof. We urge you to read this entire offer to purchase, which contains the full details of our offer. We have also included in the summary term sheet references to the sections of this offer to purchase where a more complete discussion may be found. As used herein, the term "general partner" refers to Angeles Realty Corporation II, which is the managing general partner of your partnership. o THE OFFER. Subject to the terms hereof, we are offering to acquire any and all of the limited partnership units of ANGELES INCOME PROPERTIES, LTD. II, your partnership, for $163.00 per unit in cash. See "The Offer--Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration" and "The Offer--Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer--Determination of Offer Price." o FACTORS IN DETERMINING THE OFFER PRICE. In determining the offer price per unit we principally considered: o Our belief that the per unit liquidation value of your partnership is equal to our offer price per unit. o There is no trading market for the units. See "The Offer--Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer--Comparison of Consideration to Alternative Consideration." o PRORATIONS. If the purchase of all validly tendered units would result in there being less than 320 holders of units, we will purchase only 99% of the total number of units so tendered by each holder. See "The Offer--Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration." o EXPIRATION DATE. Our offer expires on March 12, 2001, unless extended, and you can tender your units until our offer expires. See "The Offer--Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date; Proration." o RIGHT TO EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE. We can extend the offer in our sole discretion, and we will either issue a press release or send you a notice of any such extension. See "The Offer--Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period." o HOW TO TENDER. To tender your units, complete the accompanying acknowledgment and agreement and send it, along with any other documents required by the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II, to the Information Agent, River Oaks Partnership, Inc., at one of the addresses set forth on the back of this offer to purchase. See "The Offer--Section 3. Procedures for Tendering." o WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. You can withdraw your units at any time prior to the expiration of the offer, including any extensions. In addition, you can withdraw your units at any time on or after April 9, 2001 if we have not already accepted units for purchase and payment. See "The Offer--Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." o HOW TO WITHDRAW. To withdraw your units, you need to send a notice of withdrawal to the Information Agent, identifying yourself and the units to be withdrawn. See "The Offer--Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." o TAX CONSEQUENCES. Your sale of units in this offer will be a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes. The consequences to each limited partner may vary and you should consult your tax advisor on the precise tax consequences to you. See "The Offer--Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters." o AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. We currently have the necessary cash and a line of credit to consummate the offers. See "The Offer--Section 15. Source of Funds." o CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER. There are a number of conditions to our offer, including our having adequate cash and borrowings under a line of credit, the absence of competing tender offers, the absence of certain changes in your partnership, and the absence of certain changes in the financial markets. See "The Offer--Section 17. Conditions to the Offer." -1- 5 o REMAINING AS A LIMITED PARTNER. If you do not tender your units, you will continue to remain a limited partner in your partnership. We have no plans to alter the operations, business or financial position of your partnership or to take your partnership private. See "The Offer--Section 7. Effects of the Offer." o WHO WE ARE. We are AIMCO Properties, L.P., the main operating partnership of Apartment Investment and Management Company, a New York Stock Exchange listed company. See "The Offer--Section 8. Information Concerning Us and Certain of Our Affiliates." o CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Our subsidiary receives fees for managing your partnership's residential property and the general partner of your partnership (which is also our subsidiary) is entitled to receive payment for services and reimbursement of certain expenses involving your partnership and its property. As a result, a conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving these fees, and the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of these fees. See "The Offer--Section 11. Conflicts of Interests" and "The Offer--Section 13. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership." o NO GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDATION. The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units, and believes each limited partner should make his or her own decision whether or not to tender. See "The Offer--Section 10. Position of the General Partner of Your Partnership with Respect to the Offer." o NO SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD. We do not intend to have a subsequent offering period after the expiration date of the initial offering period (including any extensions). See "The Offer--Section 5. Extension of Tender Offer Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period." o ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. For more assistance in tendering your units, please contact our Information Agent at one of the addresses or the telephone number set forth on the back cover page of this offer to purchase. -2- 6 RISK FACTORS Before deciding whether or not to tender any of your units, you should consider carefully the following risks and disadvantages of the offer: NO THIRD PARTY VALUATION OR APPRAISAL; NO ARMS-LENGTH NEGOTIATION We did not base our valuation of the property owned by your partnership on any third-party appraisal or valuation. We established the terms of our offer without any arms-length negotiation. The terms of the offer could differ if they were subject to independent third party negotiations. It is uncertain whether our offer price reflects the value that would be realized upon a sale of your units to a third party. OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT FAIR MARKET VALUE There is no established or regular trading market for your units, nor is there another reliable standard for determining the fair market value of the units. Our offer price does not necessarily reflect the price that you would receive in an open market for your units. Such prices could be higher than our offer price. OFFER PRICE DOES NOT REFLECT FUTURE PROSPECTS Our offer price is based on your partnership's property income. It does not ascribe any value to potential future improvements in the operating performance of your partnership's residential property. OFFER PRICE MAY NOT REPRESENT LIQUIDATION VALUE The actual proceeds obtained from liquidation are highly uncertain and could be more than our estimate. Accordingly, our offer price could be less than the net proceeds that you would realize upon an actual liquidation of your partnership. CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP; NO TIME FRAME REGARDING SALE OF PROPERTY Your general partner, which is our subsidiary, is proposing to continue to operate your partnership and not to attempt to liquidate it at the present time. It is not known when the property owned by your partnership may be sold. There may be no way to liquidate your investment in the partnership in the future until the property is sold and the partnership is liquidated. The general partner of your partnership continually considers whether a property should be sold or otherwise disposed of after consideration of relevant factors, including prevailing economic conditions, availability of favorable financing and tax considerations, with a view to achieving maximum capital appreciation for your partnership. At the current time, the general partner of your partnership believes that a sale of the property would not be advantageous given market conditions, the condition of the property and tax considerations. In particular, the general partner considered the changes in the local rental market, the potential for appreciation in the value of a property and the tax consequences to you on a sale of property. We cannot predict when your partnership's property will be sold or otherwise disposed of. HOLDING UNITS MAY RESULT IN GREATER FUTURE VALUE Although a liquidation of your partnership is not currently contemplated in the near future, you might receive more value if you retain your units until your partnership is liquidated. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER The general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, and therefore has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to our offer. We are making this offer with a view to making a profit. There is a conflict between our desire to purchase your units at a low price and your desire to sell your units at a high price. We determined our offer price without negotiation with any other party, including any general or limited partner. -3- 7 NO GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDATION The general partner of your partnership makes no recommendation as to whether or not you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Although the general partner believes the offer is fair, you must make your own decision whether or not to participate in the offer based upon a number of factors, including several factors that may be personal to you, such as your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, your preferences regarding the timing of when you might wish to sell your units, other financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax consequences to you of selling your units. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RELATING TO MANAGEMENT FEES Because we or our subsidiaries receive fees for managing your partnership and its residential property, a conflict of interest exists between continuing the partnership and receiving such fees, and the liquidation of the partnership and the termination of such fees. Also, a decision of the limited partners of your partnership to remove, for any reason, the general partner of your partnership or the residential property manager of the property owned by your partnership would result in a decrease or elimination of the substantial fees to which they are entitled for services provided to your partnership. POSSIBLE FUTURE OFFER AT A HIGHER PRICE It is possible that we may conduct a future offer at a higher price. Such a decision will depend on, among other things, the performance of the partnership, prevailing economic conditions, and our interest in acquiring additional units. RECOGNITION OF TAXABLE GAIN ON A SALE OF YOUR UNITS Your sale of units for cash will be a taxable sale, with the result that you will recognize taxable gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount realized on the sale and your adjusted tax basis in the units of limited partnership interest of your partnership you transfer to us. The "amount realized" with respect to a unit of limited partnership interest you transfer to us will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable to the unit. The particular tax consequences for you of our offer will depend upon a number of factors related to your tax situation, including your tax basis in the units you transfer to us, whether you dispose of all of your units, and whether you have available suspended passive losses, credits or other tax items to offset any gain recognized as a result of your sale of your units. Therefore, depending on your basis in the units and your tax position, your taxable gain and any tax liability resulting from a sale of units to us pursuant to the offer could exceed our offer price. Because the income tax consequences of tendering units will not be the same for everyone, you should consult your own tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the offer to you. LOSS OF FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM YOUR PARTNERSHIP If you tender your units in response to our offer, you will transfer to us all right, title and interest in and to all of the units we accept, and the right to receive all distributions in respect of such units on and after the date on which we accept such units for purchase. Accordingly, for any units that we acquire from you, you will not receive any future distributions from operating cash flow of your partnership or upon a sale or refinancing of the property owned by your partnership. WE CONTROL YOUR PARTNERSHIP Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, we control the management of your partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. We and our affiliates own 56,336, or 55.89%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units, we have the ability to control any vote of the limited partners. -4- 8 RECOGNITION OF GAIN RESULTING FROM POSSIBLE FUTURE REDUCTION IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP LIABILITIES Generally, a decrease in your share of partnership liabilities is treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a deemed cash distribution. Although the general partner of your partnership does not have any current plan or intention to reduce the liabilities of your partnership, it is possible that future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause the general partner to reduce the liabilities of your partnership. If you retain all or a portion of your units and the liabilities of your partnership were to be reduced, you would be treated as receiving a hypothetical distribution of cash resulting from a decrease in your share of the liabilities of the partnership. Any such hypothetical distribution of cash would be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in your units and thereafter as gain. Gain recognized by you on the disposition of retained units with a holding period of 12 months or less may be classified as short-term capital gain and subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates. RISK OF INABILITY TO TRANSFER UNITS FOR 12-MONTH PERIOD Under United States federal tax laws, your partnership will terminate for tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in capital and profits of your partnership within any 12-month period. If we acquire a significant percentage of the interest in your partnership, you may not be able to transfer your units for a 12-month period following our offer. POTENTIAL DELAY IN PAYMENT We reserve the right to extend the period of time during which our offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of any tendered units. The offer may be extended indefinitely, and no payment will be made in respect of tendered units until the expiration of the offer and acceptance of units for payment. BALLOON PAYMENT Your partnership has approximately $4,979,000 and $11,833,000 of balloon payments due on its mortgage debt in October 2003 and November 2003, respectively. Your partnership will have to refinance such debt, sell assets or otherwise obtain additional funds prior to the balloon payment dates, or it will be in default and could lose the properties to foreclosure. THE OFFER 1. TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE; PRORATION Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will accept (and thereby purchase) any and all units that are validly tendered on or prior to the expiration date and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Offer--Section 4. Withdrawal Rights." For purposes of the offer, the term "expiration date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 12, 2001, unless we in our sole discretion shall have extended the period of time for which the offer is open, in which event the term "expiration date" shall mean the latest time and date on which the offer, as extended by us, shall expire. See "The Offer--Section 5. Extension of Tender Period; Termination; Amendment; No Subsequent Offering Period," for a description of our right to extend the period of time during which the offer is open and to amend or terminate the offer. The purchase price per unit will automatically be reduced by the aggregate amount of distributions per unit, if any, made by your partnership to you on or after the commencement of our offer and prior to the date on which we acquire your units pursuant to our offer. If, prior to the expiration date, we increase the consideration offered pursuant to the offer, the increased consideration will be paid for all units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, whether or not the units were tendered prior to the increase in consideration. If units are validly tendered prior to the expiration date and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date in accordance with the procedures set forth in "The Offer--Section 4. Withdrawal Rights" and the purchase of all such units would result in (i) a "Rule 13e-3 transaction" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or (ii) there being less than 320 limited partners, we will purchase only 99% of the total -5- 9 number of units so tendered by each limited partner (subject to any necessary adjustment for fractional units). If we are going to purchase only 99% of the units validly tendered, we will notify you of such fact. In such case, you would continue to be a limited partner and receive a K-1 for tax reporting purposes. See "The Offer--Section 7. Effects of the Offer--Effect on Trading Market; Registration Under 12(g) of the Exchange Act." The offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions. THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING TENDERED. See "The Offer--Section 17. Conditions to the Offer," which sets forth in full the conditions of the offer. We reserve the right (but in no event shall we be obligated), in our reasonable discretion, to waive any or all of those conditions. If, on or prior to the expiration date, any or all of the conditions have not been satisfied or waived, we reserve the right to (i) decline to purchase any of the units tendered, terminate the offer and return all tendered units to tendering limited partners, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and purchase, subject to the terms of the offer, any and all units validly tendered, (iii) extend the offer and, subject to your withdrawal rights, retain the units that have been tendered during the period or periods for which the offer is extended, or (iv) amend the offer. The transfer of units will be effective January 1, 2001. This offer is being mailed on or about February 9, 2001 to the persons shown by your partnership's records to have been limited partners or, in the case of units owned of record by Individual Retirement Accounts and qualified plans, beneficial owners of units, on February 9, 2001. 2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, we will purchase, by accepting for payment, and will pay for, any and all units validly tendered as promptly as practicable following the expiration date. A tendering beneficial owner of units whose units are owned of record by an Individual Retirement Account or other qualified plan will not receive direct payment of the offer price; rather, payment will be made to the custodian of such account or plan. In all cases, payment for units purchased pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Information Agent of a properly completed and duly executed acknowledgment and agreement and other documents required by the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II. See "The Offer--Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Units." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE OFFER PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT. We will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, accept for payment and pay for any and all units validly tendered, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases that would violate the agreement of limited partnership of your partnership and any relevant procedures or regulations promulgated by the general partner. In some circumstances, we may pay you the full offer price and accept an assignment of your right to receive distributions and other payments and an irrevocable proxy in respect of the units and defer, perhaps indefinitely, the transfer of ownership of the units on the partnership books. In other circumstances we may only be able to purchase units which, together with units previously transferred within the preceding twelve months, do not exceed 50% of the outstanding units. If more units than can be purchased under the partnership agreement are validly tendered prior to the expiration date and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration date in accordance with the procedures specified herein, we will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, accept for payment and pay for those units so tendered which do not violate the terms of the partnership agreement, pro rata according to the number of units validly tendered by each limited partner and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date, with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional units. If the number of units validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date is less than or equal to the maximum number we can purchase under the partnership agreement, we will purchase all units so tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer. If proration of tendered units is required, then, subject to our obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act to pay limited partners the purchase price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer, we do not intend to pay for any units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer until the final proration results are known. Notwithstanding any such delay in payment, no interest will be paid on the offer price. For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment pursuant to the offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered units, if, as and when we give verbal or written notice to the Information Agent -6- 10 of our acceptance of those units for payment pursuant to the offer. Payment for units accepted for payment pursuant to the offer will be made through the Information Agent, which will act as agent for tendering limited partners for the purpose of receiving cash payments from us and transmitting cash payments to tendering limited partners. If any tendered units are not accepted for payment by us for any reason, the acknowledgment and agreement with respect to such units not purchased may be destroyed by the Information Agent or us or returned to you. You may withdraw tendered units until the expiration date (including any extensions). In addition, if we have not accepted units for payment by April 9, 2001, you may then withdraw any tendered units. After the expiration date, the Information Agent may, on our behalf, retain tendered units, and those units may not be otherwise withdrawn, if, for any reason, acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any units tendered pursuant to the offer is delayed or we are unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for units tendered pursuant to the offer. Any such action is subject, however, to our obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay you the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer. We reserve the right to transfer or assign, in whole or in part, to one or more of our affiliates, the right to purchase units tendered pursuant to the offer, but no such transfer or assignment will relieve us of our obligations under the offer or prejudice your rights to receive payment for units validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer. 3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS. VALID TENDER. To validly tender units pursuant to the offer, a properly completed and duly executed acknowledgment and agreement and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II must be received by the Information Agent, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase, on or prior to the expiration date. You may tender all or any portion of your units. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS. If the acknowledgment and agreement is signed by the registered holder of a unit and payment is to be made directly to that holder, then no signature guarantee is required on the acknowledgment and agreement. Similarly, if a unit is tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and loan association or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the United States (each an "Eligible Institution"), no signature guarantee is required on the acknowledgment and agreement. However, in all other cases, all signatures on the acknowledgment and agreement must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. In order for you to tender in the offer, your units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date. THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT YOUR OPTION AND RISK AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE INFORMATION AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY. APPOINTMENT AS PROXY; POWER OF ATTORNEY. By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you are irrevocably appointing us and our designees as your proxy, in the manner set forth in the acknowledgment and agreement and each with full power of substitution, to the fullest extent of your rights with respect to the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Each such proxy shall be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered units. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, we accept the tendered units for payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by you with respect to the units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective). We and our designees will, as to those units, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights as a limited partner as we, in our sole discretion, may deem proper at any meeting of limited partners, by written consent or otherwise. We reserve the right to require that, in order for units to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon our acceptance for payment of the units, we must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to the units, including voting at any meeting of limited partners and/or limited partners then scheduled or acting by written consent without a meeting. By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you agree to execute all such documents and take such other actions as shall be reasonably required to enable the units tendered to be voted in accordance with our -7- 11 directions. The proxy granted by you to us will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of ten years following the termination of our offer. By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you also irrevocably constitute and appoint us and our designees as your attorneys-in-fact, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of your rights with respect to the units tendered by you and accepted for payment by us. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, we pay for your units and will remain effective and be irrevocable for a period of ten years following the termination of our offer. You will agree not to exercise any rights pertaining to the tendered units without our prior consent. Upon such payment, all prior powers of attorney granted by you with respect to such units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent powers of attorney may be granted (and if granted will not be effective). Pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, we and our designees each will have the power, among other things, (i) to transfer ownership of such units on the partnership books maintained by your general partner (and execute and deliver any accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity it may deem necessary or appropriate in connection therewith), (ii) upon receipt by the Information Agent of the offer consideration, to become a substituted limited partner, to receive any and all distributions made by your partnership on or after the date on which we acquire such units, and to receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such units in accordance with the terms of our offer, (iii) to execute and deliver to the general partner of your partnership a change of address form instructing the general partner to send any and all future distributions to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of the offer in respect of tendered units to the address specified in such form, and (iv) to endorse any check payable to you or upon your order representing a distribution to which we are entitled pursuant to the terms of our offer, in each case, in your name and on your behalf. By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you will irrevocably constitute and appoint us and any of our designees as your true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with respect to such units, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to withdraw any or all of such units that have been previously tendered in response to any other tender or exchange offer, provided that the price per unit we are offering is equal to or higher than the price per unit being offered in the other tender or exchange offer. Such appointment is effective upon the execution and receipt of the acknowledgment and agreement and shall continue to be effective unless and until you validly withdraw such units from this offer prior to the expiration date. ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS. By executing the acknowledgment and agreement, you will irrevocably assign to us and our assigns all of your right, title and interest in and to any and all distributions made by your partnership from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation, distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets, distributions upon liquidation, winding-up, or dissolution, payments in settlement of existing or future litigation, and all other distributions and payments from and after the expiration date of our offer, in respect of the units tendered by you and accepted for payment and thereby purchased by us. If, after the unit is accepted for payment and purchased by us, you receive any distribution from any source and of any nature, including, without limitation, distributions in the ordinary course, distributions from sales of assets, distributions upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, payments in settlement of existing or future litigation and all other distributions and payments, from your partnership in respect of such unit, you will agree to forward promptly such distribution to us. DETERMINATION OF VALIDITY; REJECTION OF UNITS; WAIVER OF DEFECTS; NO OBLIGATION TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFECTS. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of units pursuant to our offer will be determined by us, in our reasonable discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any particular unit determined by us not to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for that unit may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive or amend any of the conditions of the offer that we are legally permitted to waive as to the tender of any particular unit and to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular unit of any particular limited partner. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the offer (including the acknowledgment and agreement and the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. No tender of units will be deemed to have been validly made unless and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither we, the Information Agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the tender of any unit or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. -8- 12 BACKUP FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING. To prevent the possible application of back-up federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to payment of the offer price, you may have to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II and "The Offer--Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters." FIRPTA WITHHOLDING. To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an amount equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition (the amount realized is generally the offer price plus the partnership liabilities allocable to each unit purchased), you must certify that you are not a foreign person if you tender units. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II and "The Offer--Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Matters." TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder of units or any person) payable on account of the transfer of units will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted. BINDING AGREEMENT. A tender of a unit pursuant to any of the procedures described above and the acceptance for payment of such unit will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering limited partner and us on the terms set forth in this offer to purchase and the related acknowledgment and agreement and letter of transmittal. 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. You may withdraw your tendered units at any time prior to the expiration date, including any extensions thereof, or on or after April 9, 2001 if the units have not been previously accepted for payment. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Information Agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of the offer to purchase. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of units to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of such units, if different from the person who tendered. In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by the person who signed the acknowledgment and agreement in the same manner as the acknowledgment and agreement was signed. If purchase of, or payment for, a unit is delayed for any reason, or if we are unable to purchase or pay for a unit for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer, tendered units may be retained by the Information Agent; subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of our offer. Any units properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of our offer. However, withdrawn units may be re-tendered at any time prior to the expiration date by following the procedures described in "The Offer--Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units." All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us in our reasonable discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. Neither the Information Agent, any other person, nor we will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. 5. EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; NO SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD. We expressly reserve the right, in our reasonable discretion, at any time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which our offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for, any unit, (ii) to terminate the offer and not accept any units not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for if any of the conditions to the offer are not satisfied or if any event occurs that might reasonably be expected to result in a failure to satisfy such conditions, (iii) upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in "The Offer--Section 17. Conditions to the Offer," or any event that might reasonably be expected to result in such occurrence, to delay the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any units not already accepted for payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend our offer in any respect (including, without limitation, by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered, increasing or decreasing the units being sought, or both). Notice of any such extension, termination or -9- 13 amendment will promptly be disseminated to you in a manner reasonably designed to inform you of such change. In the case of an extension of the offer, the extension may be followed by a press release or public announcement which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the scheduled expiration date of our offer, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act. If we extend the offer, or if we delay payment for a unit (whether before or after its acceptance for payment) or are unable to pay for a unit pursuant to our offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer, the Information Agent may retain tendered units and those units may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering limited partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in "The Offer--Section 4. Withdrawal Rights;" subject, however, to our obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay the offer price in respect of units tendered or return those units promptly after termination or withdrawal of the offer. If we make a material change in the terms of our offer, or if we waive a material condition to our offer, we will extend the offer and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by Rules 14d-4 and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. The minimum period during which the offer must remain open following any material change in the terms of the offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the materiality of the change, but generally will be five business days. With respect to a change in price or, subject to certain limitations, a change in the percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, if any, a minimum of ten business days from the date of such change is generally required to allow for adequate dissemination to limited partners. Accordingly, if, prior to the expiration date, we increase (other than increases of not more than two percent of the outstanding units) or decrease the number of units being sought, or increase or decrease the offer price, and if the offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the tenth business day after the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to limited partners, the offer will be extended at least until the expiration of such ten business days. As used in the offer to purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a Federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 Midnight, New York City time. Pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, we may provide for a subsequent offering period in tender offers for any and all outstanding units. A subsequent offering period is an additional period of from three to twenty business days following the expiration date of the offer, including any extensions, in which limited partners may continue to tender units not tendered in the offer for the offer price. We do not plan to offer a subsequent offering period. 6. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS. The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the United States federal income tax consequences of the offer that may be relevant to (i) limited partners who tender some or all of their units for cash pursuant to our offer, and (ii) limited partners who do not tender any of their units pursuant to our offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), Treasury Regulations, rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and judicial decisions, all as of the date of this offer to purchase. All of the foregoing is subject to change or alternative construction, possibly with retroactive effect, and any such change or alternative construction could affect the continuing accuracy of this summary. This summary is based on the assumption that your partnership is operated in accordance with its organizational documents including its certificate of limited partnership and agreement of limited partnership. This summary is for general information only and does not purport to discuss all aspects of federal income taxation which may be important to a particular person in light of its investment or tax circumstances, or to certain types of investors subject to special tax rules (including financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and, except to the extent discussed below, tax-exempt organizations and foreign investors, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes), nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does it describe any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. This summary assumes that the units constitute capital assets in the hands of the limited partners (generally, property held for investment). No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this offer to purchase. Further, no opinion of counsel has been obtained with regard to the offer. THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF A LIMITED PARTNER PARTICIPATING IN THE OFFER DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. ACCORDINGLY, YOU -10- 14 SHOULD CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SELLING THE INTERESTS IN YOUR PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTED BY YOUR UNITS PURSUANT TO OUR OFFER OR OF A DECISION NOT TO SELL IN LIGHT OF YOUR SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO LIMITED PARTNERS TENDERING UNITS FOR CASH. You will recognize gain or loss on a sale of a unit of limited partnership of your partnership equal to the difference between (i) your "amount realized" on the sale and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the unit sold. The "amount realized" will be equal to the sum of the amount of cash received by you for the unit sold pursuant to the offer plus the amount of partnership liabilities allocable to the unit (as determined under Section 752 of the Internal Revenue Code). Thus, your taxable gain and tax liability resulting from a sale of a unit could exceed the cash received upon such sale. ADJUSTED TAX BASIS. If you acquired your units for cash, your initial tax basis in such units was generally equal to your cash investment in your partnership increased by your share of partnership liabilities at the time you acquired such units. Your initial tax basis generally has been increased by (i) your share of partnership income and gains, and (ii) any increases in your share of partnership liabilities, and has been decreased (but not below zero) by (i) your share of partnership cash distributions, (ii) any decreases in your share of partnership liabilities, (iii) your share of partnership losses, and (iv) your share of nondeductible partnership expenditures that are not chargeable to capital. For purposes of determining your adjusted tax basis in your units immediately prior to a disposition of your units, your adjusted tax basis in your units will include your allocable share of partnership income, gain or loss for the taxable year of disposition. If your adjusted tax basis is less than your share of partnership liabilities (e.g., as a result of the effect of net loss allocations and/or distributions exceeding the cost of your unit), your gain recognized with respect to a unit pursuant to the offer will exceed the cash proceeds realized upon the sale of such unit. CHARACTER OF GAIN OR LOSS RECOGNIZED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. Except as described below, the gain or loss recognized by you on a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer generally will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if you held the unit for more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other noncorporate taxpayers generally will be subject to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 20%. If the amount realized with respect to a unit of limited partnership of your partnership that is attributable to your share of "unrealized receivables" of your partnership exceeds the tax basis attributable to those assets, such excess will be treated as ordinary income. Among other things, "unrealized receivables" include depreciation recapture for certain types of property. In addition, the maximum United States federal income tax rate applicable to persons who are noncorporate taxpayers for net capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property (which may be determined to include an interest in a partnership such as your units) held for more than one year is currently 25% (rather than 20%) with respect to that portion of the gain attributable to depreciation deductions previously taken on the property. If you tender a unit of limited partnership interest of your partnership in the offer, you will be allocated a share of partnership taxable income or loss for the year of tender with respect to any units sold. You will not receive any future distributions on units tendered on or after the date on which such units are accepted for purchase and, accordingly, you may not receive any distributions with respect to such accreted income. Such allocation and any partnership cash distributions to you for that year will affect your adjusted tax basis in your unit and, therefore, the amount of your taxable gain or loss upon a sale of a unit pursuant to the offer. PASSIVE ACTIVITY LOSSES. The passive activity loss rules of the Internal Revenue Code limit the use of losses derived from passive activities, which generally include investments in limited partnership interests such as your units. An individual, as well as certain other types of investors, generally cannot use losses from passive activities to offset nonpassive activity income received during the taxable year. Passive losses that are disallowed for a particular tax year are "suspended" and may be carried forward to offset passive activity income earned by the investor in future taxable years. In addition, such suspended losses may be claimed as a deduction, subject to other applicable limitations, upon a taxable disposition of the investor's interest in such activity. Accordingly, if your investment in your units is treated as a passive activity, you may be able to reduce gain from the sale of your units pursuant to the offer with passive losses in the manner described below. If you sell all or a portion of your units pursuant to the offer and recognize a gain on your sale, you will generally be entitled to use your current and "suspended" passive activity losses (if any) from your partnership and other passive sources to offset that gain. In general, if you sell all or a portion of your units pursuant to the offer and recognize a loss on such sale, you will be entitled to deduct that loss currently (subject to other applicable limitations) against the sum of your passive activity income from your partnership for that year (if any) plus any passive activity income from other -11- 15 sources for that year. If you sell all of your units pursuant to the offer, the balance of any "suspended" losses from your partnership that were not otherwise utilized against passive activity income as described in the two preceding sentences will generally no longer be suspended and will generally therefore be deductible (subject to any other applicable limitations) by you against any other income for that year, regardless of the character of that income. You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning whether, and the extent to which, you have available "suspended" passive activity losses from your partnership or other investments that may be used to reduce gain from the sale of units pursuant to the offer. INFORMATION REPORTING, BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND FIRPTA. If you tender any units, you must report the transaction by filing a statement with your United States federal income tax return for the year of the tender which provides certain required information to the IRS. To prevent the possible application of back-up United States federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to the payment of the offer consideration, you are generally required to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II. Gain realized by a foreign person on the sale of a unit pursuant to the offer will be subject to federal income tax under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980. Under these provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in a partnership which owns United States real property generally is required to deduct and withhold 10% of the amount realized on the disposition. Amounts withheld would be creditable against a foreign person's United States federal income tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund could be claimed from the Internal Revenue Service by filing a United States income tax return. See the instructions to the acknowledgment and agreement set forth in the letter of transmittal attached as Annex II. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-TENDERING AND PARTIALLY-TENDERING LIMITED PARTNERS. Section 708 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in capital and profits of a partnership within any 12-month period, such partnership terminates for United States federal income tax purposes. It is possible that our acquisition of units pursuant to the offer alone or in combination with other transfers of interests in your partnership could result in such a termination of your partnership. If your partnership is deemed to terminate for tax purposes, the following federal income tax events will be deemed to occur: the terminated partnership will be deemed to have contributed all of its assets (subject to its liabilities) to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership and, immediately thereafter, the old partnership will be deemed to have distributed interests in the new partnership to the remaining limited partners in proportion to their respective interests in the old partnership in liquidation of the old partnership. You will not recognize any gain or loss upon such deemed contribution of your partnership's assets to the new partnership or upon such deemed distribution of interests in the new partnership, and your capital account in your partnership will carry over to the new partnership. A termination of your partnership for federal income tax purposes may change (and possibly shorten) your holding period with respect to interests in your partnership that you choose to retain. Gain recognized by you on the disposition of retained units with a holding period of 12 months or less may be classified as short-term capital gain and subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates. A termination of your partnership for federal income tax purposes may also subject the assets of your partnership to longer depreciable lives than those currently applicable to the assets of your partnership. This would generally decrease the annual average depreciation deductions allocable to you for certain years following our offer if you do not tender all of your interests in your partnership (thereby increasing the taxable income allocable to your interests in your partnership each such year), but would have no effect on the total depreciation deductions available over the useful lives of the assets of your partnership. Additionally, upon a termination of your partnership, the taxable year of your partnership will close for federal income tax purposes. 7. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER. Because the general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, we have control over the management of your partnership. We also own the company that currently manages the residential property owned by your partnership. In addition, we and our affiliates own 56,336, or 55.89%, of the outstanding units of your partnership. Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units and control your partnership's general partner, we control the outcome of all voting decisions with respect to your partnership. In general, we will vote the units owned by us in whatever manner we deem to be in our best interests, which may not be in the interest of other limited partners. This could (1) prevent non-tendering limited partners from taking action that they desire but that -12- 16 we oppose and (2) enable us to take action desired by us but opposed by non-tendering limited partners. We are also affiliated with the company that currently manages, and has managed for some time, the property owned by your partnership. In the event that we acquire a substantial number of units pursuant to this offer, removal of the property manager may become more difficult or impossible. DISTRIBUTIONS TO US. If we acquire units in the offer, we will participate in any subsequent distributions to limited partners to the extent of the units purchased. PARTNERSHIP STATUS. We believe our purchase of units should not adversely affect the issue of whether your partnership is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. BUSINESS. Our offer will not affect the operation of the property owned by your partnership. We will continue to control the general partner of your partnership and the residential property manager, both of which will remain the same. Consummation of the offer will not affect your agreement of limited partnership, the operations of your partnership, the business and properties owned by your partnership or any other matter relating to your partnership, except it would result in us increasing our ownership of units. We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the manager of your partnership's residential property. EFFECT ON TRADING MARKET; REGISTRATION UNDER 12(g) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. If a substantial number of units are purchased pursuant to the offer, the result will be a reduction in the number of limited partners in your partnership. In the case of certain kinds of equity securities, a reduction in the number of securityholders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume of activity in the trading market for the security. In the case of your partnership, however, there is no established public trading market for the units and, therefore, we do not believe a reduction in the number of limited partners will materially further restrict your ability to find purchasers for your units through secondary market transactions. The units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which means, among other things, that your partnership is required to file periodic reports with the SEC and to comply with the SEC's proxy rules. We do not expect or intend that consummation of the offer will cause the units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. If the units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, your partnership could apply to de-register the units under the Exchange Act. Your partnership had 1814 limited partners as of January 19, 2001. If units are tendered which would result in less than 320 limited partners, we will purchase no more than 99% of the units tendered by each limited partner to assure that there are more than 300 limited partners after the offer. See "The Offer--Section 1. Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date." ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. Upon consummation of the offer, we will account for our investment in any acquired units under the purchase method of accounting. There will be no effect on the accounting treatment of your partnership as a result of the offer. 8. INFORMATION CONCERNING US AND CERTAIN OF OUR AFFILIATES. GENERAL.

(c) AIMCO Properties, L.P.'s management believes that the presentation of funds from operations or "FFO", when considered with the financial data determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, provides a useful measure of performance. However, FFO does not represent cash flow and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow or liquidity available to AIMCO Properties, L.P., nor should it be considered as an alternative to net income or as an indicator of operating performance. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains and losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. AIMCO Properties, L.P. calculates FFO based on the NAREIT definition, as adjusted for the amortization of goodwill, the non-cash deferred portion of the income tax provision for unconsolidated subsidiaries and less the payments of distributions on preferred limited partnership interests. AIMCO Properties, L.P.'s management believes that presentation of FFO provides investors with industry-accepted measurements which help facilitate an understanding of its ability to make required dividend payments, capital expenditures and principal payments on its debt. There can be no assurance that AIMCO Properties, L.P.'s basis of computing FFO is comparable with that of other REITs. -16- 20 The following is a reconciliation of net income to funds from operations:

As of September 30, 2000, AIMCO Properties, L.P. had a net tangible book value of $69.45 per common unit. 9. BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE OFFER. GENERAL. We are in the business of acquiring direct and indirect interests in apartment properties such as the properties owned by your partnership. Our offer provides us with an opportunity to increase our ownership interest in your partnership's property while providing you and other investors with an opportunity to liquidate your current investment. BACKGROUND. On October 1, 1998, AIMCO merged (the "Insignia Merger") with Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). As a result of the Insignia Merger, AIMCO acquired approximately 51% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"). Through the Insignia Merger, AIMCO also acquired a majority ownership interest in the entity that manages the residential properties owned by your partnership. On October 31, 1998, IPT and AIMCO entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 1, 1998, pursuant to which IPT merged with AIMCO on February 26, 1999. AIMCO then contributed IPT's interest in Insignia Properties L.P., IPT's operating partnership, to AIMCO's wholly owned subsidiary, AIMCO/IPT, Inc. AIMCO also replaced IPT as the sole general partner of Insignia Properties L.P. As a result, the general partner of your partnership is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO/IPT and the property manager is our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Together with its affiliates and subsidiaries, AIMCO currently owns, in the aggregate, approximately 55.89% of your partnership's outstanding limited partnership units. During our negotiations with Insignia in early 1998, we decided that if the merger with Insignia were consummated, we could also benefit from making offers for limited partnership interests of some of the limited partnerships formerly controlled or managed by Insignia (the "Insignia Partnerships"). Such offers would provide liquidity for the limited partners of the Insignia Partnerships and would provide us with a larger asset and capital base and increased diversification. While some of the Insignia Partnerships are public partnerships and information is publicly available on such partnerships for weighing the benefits of making a tender offer, many of the partnerships are private partnerships and information about such partnerships comes principally from the general partner. Our control of the general partner makes it possible for us to obtain access to such information. Further, such control also means that we control the operations of the partnerships and their properties. Insignia did not propose that we conduct such tender offers; rather, we initiated the offers on our own. As of the date of this offering, AIMCO Properties, L.P. has made offers to several of the Insignia Partnerships, including your partnership. -17- 21 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED BY YOUR GENERAL PARTNER. Before we commenced this offer, your general partner (which is our subsidiary) considered a number of alternative transactions. The following is a brief discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives considered by your general partner. LIQUIDATION One alternative would be for the partnership to sell its assets, distribute the net liquidation proceeds to its partners in accordance with the agreement of limited partnership, and thereafter dissolve. Partners would be at liberty to use the net liquidation proceeds after taxes for investment, business, personal or other purposes, at their option. If your partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate, you would not need to rely upon capitalization of income or other valuation methods to estimate the fair market value of partnership assets. Instead, such assets would be valued through negotiations with prospective purchasers (in many cases unrelated third parties). However, in the opinion of your general partner, which is our subsidiary, the present time may not be the most desirable time to sell the residential real estate assets of your partnership in a private transaction, and the proceeds realized from any such sale would be uncertain. Your general partner believes it currently is in the best interest of your partnership to continue holding its real estate assets. See "The Offer--Section 13. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership--Investment Objectives and Policies; Sale or Financing of Investments." CONTINUATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT THE OFFER A second alternative would be for your partnership to continue as a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities and continue to be governed by its existing agreement of limited partnership, without our offer. A number of advantages could result from the continued operation of your partnership. Given improving rental market conditions or improved operating performance, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties could improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's property at some point in the future a more attractive option than it is currently. The continuation of your partnership will allow you to continue to participate in the net income and any increases in revenue of your partnership and any net proceeds from the sale of the property owned by your partnership. However, no assurance can be given as to future operating results or as to the results of any future attempts to sell the property owned by your partnership. The primary disadvantage of continuing the operations of your partnership is that you would be limited in your ability to sell your units. Although you could sell your units to a third party, any such sale would likely be at a discount from your pro rata share of the fair market value of the property owned by your partnership. ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS CONSIDERED BY US. Before we decided to make our offer, we considered a number of alternative transactions, including purchasing your partnership's property or merging your partnership with us. However, both of these alternatives would require a vote of all the limited partners. If the transaction were approved, all of the limited partners, including those who wish to continue to participate in the ownership of your partnership's properties, would be forced to participate in the transaction. If the transaction were not approved, all of the limited partners, including those who would like to dispose of their investment in your partnership's property, would be forced to retain their investment. We also considered an offer to exchange units in your partnership for units of AIMCO Properties, L.P. However, because of the expense and delay associated with making such an exchange offer, we decided to make an offer for cash only. In addition, our historical experience has been that most holders of limited partnership units, when given a choice, prefer cash. DETERMINATION OF OFFER PRICE. In establishing the offer price, we principally considered: o The partnership's 2000 property income, as capitalized using the direct capitalization method; o Prices at which the units have recently sold, to the extent such information is available to us; and o The absence of a liquid trading market for the units. Our determination of the offer price was based on our review and analysis of the foregoing information, the other financial information and the analyses concerning the partnership summarized below. -18- 22 VALUATION OF UNITS. We determined our offer price by: (i) applying a capitalization rate to your partnership's 2000 property income; (ii) adjusting this value for liabilities, non-real estate assets, and certain other costs; and (iii) determining the proceeds that would be paid to limited partners in the event of a liquidation of your partnership. First, we estimated the gross property value of your partnership's property by applying a capitalization rate to the partnership's 2000 property income to obtain its estimated gross property value. We then calculated the value of the equity of your partnership by adding to the aggregate gross property value the value of the non-real estate assets of your partnership and deducting its liabilities and certain other costs, including required capital expenditures, deferred maintenance and closing costs, to derive its net equity value. Finally, using this net equity value, we determined the proceeds that would be paid to limited partners in the event of a liquidation of your partnership. Of the estimated liquidation proceeds, 99% are assumed to be distributed to limited partners. Our offer price represents the per unit liquidation proceeds determined in this manner. Gross valuation of partnership properties $34,600,000.00 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 1,042,581.59 Plus: Other partnership assets, net of security deposits 533,238.25 Less: Mortgage debt, including accrued interest (17,701,055.00) Less: Accounts payable and accrued expenses 0.00 Less: Other liabilities (1,088,779.00) -------------- Partnership valuation before taxes and certain costs 17,385,986.00 Less: Estimated State Entity Taxes and State Nonresident Withholding -- Less: Disposition fees 0.00 Less: Extraordinary capital expenditures and deferred maintenance (390,000.00) Less: Closing costs (517,620.00) -------------- Estimates net valuation of your partnership 16,476,986.00 Percentage of estimated net valuation allocated to holders of units 99.00% -------------- Estimated net valuation of units 16,312,216.00 Total number of units 99,784.00 -------------- Estimated valuation per unit 163.00 ============== Cash consideration per unit 163.00 ==============
COMPARISON OF OFFER PRICE TO ALTERNATIVE CONSIDERATION. To assist holders of units in evaluating the offer, your general partner, which is our subsidiary, has attempted to compare the offer price against: (a) prices at which the units have sold on the secondary market and (b) estimates of the value of the units on a liquidation basis. The general partner of your partnership believes that analyzing the alternatives in terms of estimated value, based upon currently available data and, where appropriate, reasonable assumptions made in good faith, establishes a reasonable framework for comparing alternatives. Since the value of the consideration for alternatives to the offer is dependent upon varying market conditions, no assurance can be given that the estimated values reflect the range of possible values. The results of these comparative analyses are summarized in the chart below. You should bear in mind that some of the alternative values are based on a variety of assumptions that have been made by us. These assumptions relate to, among other things, the operating results, if any, since September 30, 2000 as to income and expenses of the property, other projected amounts and the capitalization rates that may be used by prospective buyers if your partnership assets were to be liquidated. In addition, these estimates are based upon certain information available to your general partner, which is our subsidiary, or an affiliate at the time the estimates were computed, and no assurance can be given that the same conditions analyzed by it in arriving at the estimates of value would exist at the time of the offer. The assumptions used have been determined by the general partner of your partnership or an affiliate in good faith, and, where appropriate, are based upon current and historical information regarding your partnership and current real estate markets, and have been highlighted below to the extent critical to the conclusions of the general partner of your partnership. Actual results may vary from those set forth below based on numerous factors, including interest rate fluctuations, tax law changes, supply and demand for similar apartment properties, the manner in which your partnership's property is sold and changes in availability of capital to finance acquisitions of apartment properties. -19- 23 Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of the partnership will continue until December 31, 2037, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement or by law.

PRIOR TENDER OFFERS. On August 8, 2000, we commenced a tender offer at the price of $165 per unit. In that case, we determined the offer price using the same basic method with respect to the partnership's residential property as we used for the offer, except that we applied a capitalization rate to the annualized 2000 property income for that property. We acquired 2,992 units in that offer. In November 2000, we acquired 218 units at a price of $165 per unit and in December 2000, we acquired 40 units at a price of $165 per unit. We also acquired 16 additional units in December 2000 as part of a bulk purchase involving several different partnerships for which no per unit price was allocated. In November 1999, we commenced a tender offer at the price of $227.02 per unit, which price was determined principally based upon our calculation of the liquidation value of your partnership pursuant to a method set forth in a proposed settlement of litigation, which proposed settlement has been terminated. The method of determining the liquidation value was similar to that used in the August 2000 offer. We ultimately increased our offer price to $228.96 per unit. We acquired 18,817 units pursuant to this offer. See "The Offer - Section 13. Certain Information Concerning Your Partnership - Legal Proceedings." In our May 13, 1999 tender offer, the offer price of $191 per unit was determined based upon our calculation of the liquidation value of your partnership. Such offer price was based on (i) your partnership's property income for each property for the year ended December 31, 1998, (ii) our estimate of an appropriate capitalization rate (10.00% to 10.50%) for your partnership's properties, (iii) the then current assets of your partnership, (iv) estimated costs and fees (including applicable state sales taxes) for a sale of the property, and winding up of your partnership, (v) estimated cost of deferred maintenance, (vi) the mortgages for the properties, (vii) your partnership's other liabilities, and (viii) the percentage ownership interests of the limited partners in your partnership. Pursuant to such offer and thereafter, we purchased 5,379 units at $191 per unit. We are aware that other tender offers may have been made by unaffiliated third parties to acquire units in your partnership in exchange for cash. We are unaware of the amounts offered, terms, tendering parties or number of units involved in any pending tender offers. We are not aware of any merger, consolidation or other combination involving any of the Insignia Partnerships, or any acquisitions of any of such partnerships or a material amount of the assets of such partnerships. PRICES ON SECONDARY MARKET. Secondary market sales information is not a reliable measure of value because of the limited amount of any known trades. Except for offers made by use and unaffiliated third parties, privately negotiated sales and sales through intermediaries are the only means which may be available to a limited partner to liquidate an investment in units (other than our offer) because the units are not listed or traded on any exchange or quoted on Nasdaq, on the Electronic Bulletin Board, or in "pink sheets." Secondary sales activity for the units, including privately negotiated sales, has been limited and sporadic. Set forth below are the high and low sale prices of units for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the ten months ended October 31, 2000, as reported by The Partnership Spectrum, which is an independent, third-party source. The gross sales prices reported by The Partnership Spectrum do not necessarily reflect the net sales proceeds received by sellers of units, which typically are reduced by commissions and other secondary market transaction costs to amounts less than the reported price. The Partnership Spectrum represents only one source of secondary sales information, and other services may contain prices for the units that equal or exceed the sales prices reported in The Partnership Spectrum. We do not know whether the information compiled by The Partnership Spectrum is accurate or complete. -20- 24 SALES PRICES OF PARTNERSHIP UNITS, AS REPORTED BY THE PARTNERSHIP SPECTRUM

ESTIMATED LIQUIDATION PROCEEDS. Liquidation value is a measure of the price at which the assets of your partnership would sell if disposed of by your partnership in an arms-length transaction to a willing buyer that has access to relevant information regarding the historical revenues and expenses of the business. Your general partner, which is our subsidiary, estimated the liquidation value of the units using the same direct capitalization method and assumptions as we did in valuing the units for the offer price. The liquidation analysis assumes that your partnership's property is sold to an independent third party at the current property value, that other balance sheet assets (excluding amortizing assets) and liabilities of your partnership are sold at their book value, and that the net proceeds of sale are allocated to your partners and limited partners in accordance with your partnership's agreement of limited partnership. The liquidation analysis assumes that the assets of your partnership are sold in a single transaction. Should the assets be liquidated over time, even at prices equal to those projected, distributions to limited partners from cash flow from operations might be reduced because your partnership's fixed costs, such as general and administrative expenses, are not proportionately reduced with the liquidation of assets. However, for simplification purposes, the sales of the assets are assumed to occur concurrently. The liquidation analysis assumes that the assets are disposed of in an orderly manner and are not sold in forced or distressed in which assets might be sold at substantial discounts to their actual fair market value. ALLOCATION OF CONSIDERATION. We have allocated to the limited partners the amount of the estimated net valuation of your partnership based on your partnership's agreement of limited partnership as if your partnership were being liquidated at the current time. 10. POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. The partnership and the general partner of your partnership (which is our subsidiary) have provided the following information for inclusion in this Offer to Purchase: The general partner of your partnership believes the offer price and the structure of the transaction are fair to the limited partners. In making such determination, the general partner considered all of the factors and information set forth below, but did not quantify or otherwise attach particular weight to any such factors or information: o the offer gives you an opportunity to make an individual decision on whether to tender your units or to continue to hold them; o the offer price and the method used to determine the offer price; -21- 25 o the offer price is based on an estimated value of your partnership's property that has been determined using a method believed to reflect the valuation by buyers in the market for similar assets; o prices at which the units have recently sold, to the extent such information is available; o the absence of an established trading market for your units; o an analysis of possible alternative transactions, including a property sale or a liquidation of the partnership; and o an evaluation of the financial condition and results of operations of your partnership. The general partner of your partnership is remaining neutral and makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units in the offer. Although the general partner believes our offer is fair, the general partner also believes that you must make your own decision whether or not to participate in any offer, based upon a number of factors, including several factors that may be personal to you, such as your financial position, your need or desire for liquidity, your preferences regarding the timing of when you might wish to sell your units, other financial opportunities available to you, and your tax position and the tax consequences to you of selling your units. Neither the general partner of your partnership or its affiliates have any plans or arrangements to tender any units. Except as otherwise provided in "The Offer--Section 12. Future Plans of the Purchaser," the general partner does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a purchase or sale or transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets; or any changes in your partnership's present capitalization, indebtedness or distribution policies. For information relating to certain relationships between your partnership and its general partner, on one hand, and AIMCO and its affiliates, on the other and conflicts of interests with respect to the tender offer, see "The Offer--Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer" and "The Offer--Section 11. Conflicts of Interests and Transactions with Affiliates." See also "The Offer--Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer--Comparison to Alternative Consideration--Prior Tender Offers" for certain information regarding transactions in units of your partnership. 11. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. The general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary. Accordingly, the general partner of your partnership has substantial conflicts of interest with respect to the offer. The general partner of your partnership has a fiduciary obligation to obtain a fair offer price for you, even as a subsidiary of AIMCO. As a consequence of our ownership of units, we may have incentives to seek to maximize the value of our ownership of units, which in turn may result in a conflict for your general partner in attempting to reconcile our interests with the interests of the other limited partners. We desire to purchase units at a low price and you desire to sell units at a high price. Although the general partner believes our offer is fair, it makes no recommendation as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your units. Such conflicts of interest in connection with the offer differ from those conflicts of interest that currently exist for your partnership. YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER TO TENDER YOUR UNITS. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT CURRENTLY EXIST FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP. We own both the general partner of your partnership and the property manager of your partnership's residential property. The general partner of your partnership received total fees and reimbursements of $309,000 in 1998, $490,000 in 1999, and $204,000 (annualized) in 2000. The property manager is entitled to receive five percent of gross receipts from the partnership's residential property for providing property management services. It received management fees of $350,000 in 1998, $339,000 in 1999, and $340,000 (annualized) in 2000. We have no current intention of changing the fee structure for your general partner or the manager of your partnership's residential property. COMPETITION AMONG PROPERTIES. Because AIMCO and your partnership both invest in apartment properties, these properties may compete with one another for tenants. Furthermore, you should bear in mind that AIMCO may acquire properties in general market areas where your partnership's property is located. We believe that this concentration of properties in a general market area will facilitate overall operations through collective -22- 26 advertising efforts and other operational efficiencies. In managing AIMCO's properties, we will attempt to reduce conflicts between competing properties by referring prospective customers to the property considered to be most conveniently located for the customer's needs. FUTURE OFFERS. Although we have no current plans to conduct future tender offers for your units, our plans may change based on future circumstances, including tender offers made by third parties. Any such future offers that we might make could be for consideration that is more or less than the consideration we are currently offering. 12. FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER. As described above under "The Offer--Section 9. Background and Reasons for the Offer," we own the general partner and thereby control the management of your partnership. In addition, we own the manager of your partnership's residential property. We currently intend that, upon consummation of the offer, we will hold the units acquired and your partnership will continue its business and operations substantially as they are currently being conducted. The offer is not expected to have any effect on partnership operations. Although we have no present intention to do so, we may acquire additional units or sell units after completion or termination of the offer. Any acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future tender or exchange offers, by merger, consolidation or by any other means deemed advisable. Any acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the units purchased pursuant to this offer, and may be for cash, limited partnership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P. or other consideration. We also may consider selling some or all of the units we acquire pursuant to this offer to persons not yet determined, which may include our affiliates. We may also buy your partnership's property, although we have no present intention to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that we will initiate or complete, or will cause your partnership to initiate or complete, any subsequent transaction during any specific time period following the expiration of the offer or at all. Except as set forth herein, we do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving your partnership; a purchase or sale or transfer of a material amount of your partnership's assets; any changes in composition of your partnership's senior management or personnel or their compensation; any changes in your partnership's present capitalization, indebtedness or distribution policy; or any other material changes in your partnership's structure or business. We or our affiliates may loan funds to your partnership which may be secured by your partnership's property. If any such loans are made, upon default of such loans, we or our affiliates could seek to foreclose on the loan and related mortgage or security interest. However, we expect that, consistent with your general partner's fiduciary obligations, the general partner will seek and review opportunities, including opportunities identified by us, to engage in transactions which could benefit your partnership, such as sales or refinancings of assets or a combination of the partnership with one or more other entities, with the objective of seeking to maximize returns to limited partners. We have been advised that the possible future transactions the general partner expects to consider on behalf of your partnership include: (i) payment of extraordinary distributions; (ii) refinancing, reducing or increasing existing indebtedness of the partnership; (iii) sales of assets, individually or as part of a complete liquidation; and (iv) mergers or other consolidation transactions involving the partnership. Any such merger or consolidation transaction could involve other limited partnerships in which your general partner or its affiliates serve as general partners, or a combination of the partnership with one or more existing, publicly traded entities (including, possibly, affiliates of AIMCO), in any of which limited partners might receive cash, common stock or other securities or consideration. There is no assurance, however, as to when or whether any of the transactions referred to above might occur. If any such transaction is effected by the partnership and financial benefits accrue to its limited partners, we will participate in those benefits to the extent of our ownership of units. The agreement of limited partnership prohibits limited partners from voting on actions taken by the partnership, unless otherwise specifically permitted therein. Limited partners may vote on a liquidation, and we and our affiliates will be able to control the outcome of any such vote. Our primary objective in seeking to acquire the units pursuant to the offer is not, however, to influence the vote on any particular transaction, but rather to generate a profit on the investment represented by those units. -23- 27 13. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP. GENERAL. Angeles Income Properties, Ltd. II was organized on October 12, 1982 under the laws of the State of California. Its primary business is real estate ownership and related operations. Your partnership was formed for the purpose of making investments in income-producing commercial and residential real estate. Your partnership's investment portfolio currently consists of three (3) residential apartment complexes: Deer Creek Apartments, a 288-unit complex in Plainsboro, New Jersey; Georgetown Apartments, a 200-unit complex in South Bend, Indiana; and Landmark Apartments, a 292-unit complex in Raleigh, North Carolina. Georgetown Apartments is held by a limited partnership in which your partnership owns a 99% interest. The general partner of your partnership is Angeles Realty Corporation II, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO. A wholly owned subsidiary of AIMCO also serves as the manager of the residential property owned by your partnership. As of January 23, 2001, there were 99,784 units issued and outstanding, which were held of record by 1,814 limited partners. Your partnership's and the general partner's principal executive offices are located at Colorado Center, Tower Two, 2000 South Colorado Boulevard, Suite 2-1000, Denver, Colorado 80222, telephone (303) 757-8101. For additional information about your partnership, please refer to the annual report prepared by your partnership which was sent to you prior to this offer to purchase, particularly Item 2 of Form 10-KSB, which contains detailed information regarding the properties owned, including mortgages, rental rates and taxes. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES; SALE OR FINANCING OF INVESTMENTS. In general, your general partner (which is our subsidiary) regularly evaluates the partnership's property by considering various factors, such as the partnership's financial position and real estate and capital markets conditions. The general partner monitors the property's specific locale and sub-market conditions (including stability of the surrounding neighborhood), evaluating current trends, competition, new construction and economic changes. It oversees the property's operating performance and continuously evaluates the physical improvement requirements. In addition, the financing structure for the property (including any prepayment penalties), tax implications, availability of attractive mortgage financing to a purchaser, and the investment climate are all considered. Any of these factors, and possibly others, could potentially contribute to any decision by the general partner to sell, refinance, upgrade with capital improvements or hold the partnership property. If rental market conditions improve, the level of distributions might increase over time. It is possible that the private resale market for properties could improve over time, making a sale of the partnership's property in a private transaction at some point in the future a more viable option than it is currently. After taking into account the foregoing considerations, your general partner is not currently seeking a sale of your partnership's property primarily because it expects the property's operating performance to improve in the long term. In making this assessment, your general partner noted the occupancy and rental rates at the residential property. In particular, the general partner noted that it expects to spend approximately $390,000 for capital improvements at the residential property in 2001 to repair and update the property. Although there can be no assurance as to future performance, however, these expenditures are expected to improve the desirability of the property to tenants. The general partner does not believe that a sale of the property at the present time would adequately reflect the property's future prospects. Another significant factor considered by your general partner is the likely tax consequences of a sale of the property for cash. Such a transaction would likely result in tax liabilities for many limited partners. TERM OF YOUR PARTNERSHIP. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, the term of the partnership will continue until December 31, 2037 unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement or by law. Limited partners could, as an alternative to tendering their units, take a variety of possible actions, including voting to liquidate the partnership or amending the agreement of limited partnership to authorize limited partners to cause the partnership to merge with another entity or engage in a "roll-up" or similar transaction. CAPITAL REPLACEMENTS. Your partnership has an ongoing program of capital improvements, replacements and renovations, including floor covering and appliance replacements, plumbing improvements, swimming pool enhancements, exterior painting, structural and other building improvements, and other replacements and renovations in the ordinary course of business. All capital improvements and renovation costs, which are budgeted at $390,000 for 2001, are expected to be paid from operating cash flows or cash reserves, or from short-term or long-term borrowings. -24- 28 COMPETITION. There are other residential properties within the market area of your partnership's property. The number and quality of competitive properties in such an area could have a material effect on the rental market for the apartments at your partnership's property and the rents that may be charged for such apartments. While AIMCO is a significant factor in the United States in the apartment industry, competition for apartments is local. According to data published by the National Multi-Housing Council, as of January 1, 1999, AIMCO's then portfolio of 373,409 owned or managed apartment units represented approximately 2.2% of the national stock of rental apartments in structures with at least five apartments.

During the third quarter of 2000, we advanced your partnership approximately $265,000. This advance was repaid subsequent to September 30, 2000. Additionally. Angeles Mortgage Investment Trust ("AMIT"), a real estate investment trust, provided financing (the "AMIT Loan") to a joint venture involving your partnership. Pursuant to a series of transactions, affiliates of the managing general partner acquired ownership interests in AMIT. On September 17, 1998, AMIT was merged with and into IPT, the entity which controlled the managing general partner. Effective February 26, 1999, IPT was merged into AIMCO. As a result, AIMCO became the holder of the AMIT Loan. On February 26, 1999, the asset owned by such joint venture was sold to an unaffiliated third party. Upon closing, the AMIT principal balance of $1,567,000 plus accrued interest of approximately $17,000 was repaid. In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, your partnership, its 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 your partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain general partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; tender offers by affiliates of the general partner to acquire limited partnership units; the management of partnerships; and the Insignia Merger. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of your partnership. On June 25, 1998, the general partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The 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 final court approval, on behalf of your 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 lead counsel at that time to enter the settlement. On December 14, 1999, the general partner and its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify 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 and defendants are scheduled to respond to the complaint by March 2, 2001. The general partner does not anticipate that costs associated with the case will be material to your partnership's overall operations. Your partnership may be a party to a variety of legal proceedings related to its ownership of the partnership's properties, arising in the ordinary course of the business, which are not expected to have a material adverse effect on your partnership. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING YOUR PARTNERSHIP. Your partnership files annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any document your partnership files at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New York, and Chicago, Illinois. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. Your partnership's SEC filings are also available to the public at the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov. -28- 32 14. VOTING POWER. Decisions with respect to the day-to-day management of your partnership are the responsibility of the general partner. Because the general partner of your partnership is our subsidiary, we control the management of your partnership. Under your partnership's agreement of limited partnership, limited partners holding a majority of the outstanding units must approve certain extraordinary transactions, including the removal of the general partner, most amendments to the partnership agreement and the sale of all or substantially all of your partnership's assets. If AIMCO already owns a majority of the units: Because we and our affiliates own a majority of the outstanding units, we control the voting decisions made by the limited partners. 15. SOURCE OF FUNDS. We expect that approximately $7,082,024 will be required to purchase all of the limited partnership units that we are seeking in this offer (exclusive of fees and expenses estimated to be $15,000). For more information regarding fees and expenses, see "The Offer--Section 19. Fees and Expenses." We have a secured $350 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, Fleet National Bank (successor in interest to BankBoston, N.A.) and First Union National Bank with a syndicate comprised of a total of nine lender participants. AIMCO Properties, L.P. is the borrower and all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by AIMCO and certain of its subsidiaries. The obligations under the credit facility are secured, among other things, by our pledge of our stock ownership in certain subsidiaries of AIMCO, a pledge of certain options to purchase beneficial assignment interests in one entity, and a pledge of certain of our non-real estate assets. The annual interest rate under the credit facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin. The margin ranges between 2.05% and 2.55% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and between 0.55% and 1.05% in the case of base rate loans, based upon a fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit facility expires in July 2002. We are concurrently making offers to acquire interests in other limited partnerships. We believe that we will have sufficient cash on hand and available sources of financing to acquire all units tendered pursuant to the offer. As of January 25, 2001, we had $12.8 million of cash on hand and $244.7 million available for borrowing under existing lines of credit. We intend to repay any amounts borrowed to finance the offer out of future working capital. 16. DISSENTERS' RIGHTS. Neither the agreement of limited partnership of your partnership nor applicable law provides any right for you to have your units appraised or redeemed in connection with, or as a result of, our offer. You have the opportunity to make an individual decision on whether or not to tender your units in the offer. 17. CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER. Notwithstanding any other provisions of our offer, we will not be required to accept for payment and pay for any units tendered pursuant to our offer, may postpone the purchase of, and payment for, units tendered, and may terminate or amend our offer if at any time on or after the date of this offer to purchase and at or before the expiration of our offer (including any extension thereof), any of the following shall occur or may be reasonably expected to occur: o any change (or any condition, event or development involving a prospective change) shall have occurred or been threatened in the business, properties, assets, liabilities, indebtedness, capitalization, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, licenses or franchises, management contract, or results of operations or prospects of your partnership or local markets in which your partnership owns property, including any fire, flood, natural disaster, casualty loss, or act of God that, in our reasonable judgment, are or may be materially adverse to your partnership or the value of the units to us, or we shall have become aware of any facts relating to your partnership, its indebtedness or its operations which, in our reasonable judgment, has or may have material significance with respect to the value of your partnership or the value of the units to us;

The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to any particular facts or circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts or circumstances and each right shall be deemed a continuing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. 18. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS. GENERAL. Except as set forth in this Section 18, we are not, based on information provided by your general partner (which is our subsidiary), aware of any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the business of your partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely affected by our acquisition of units as contemplated herein, or any filings, approvals or other actions by or with any domestic or foreign governmental authority or administrative or regulatory agency that would be required prior to the acquisition of units by us pursuant to the offer, other than the filing of a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with the SEC (which has already been filed) and any required amendments thereto. While there is no present intent to delay the purchase of units tendered pursuant to the offer pending receipt of any such additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to your partnership or its business, or that certain parts of its business might not have to be disposed of or other substantial conditions complied with in order to obtain such approval or action, any of which could cause us to elect to terminate the offer without purchasing units thereunder. Our obligation to purchase and pay for units is subject to certain conditions, including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 18. ANTITRUST. We do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition of units contemplated by our offer. MARGIN REQUIREMENTS. The units are not "margin securities" under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to our offer. STATE LAWS. We are not aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of our offer is not in compliance with applicable law. If we become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the offer would not be in -31- 35 compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law. If, after such good faith effort, we cannot comply with any such law, the offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) limited partners residing in such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions with securities or blue sky laws that require the offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the offer shall be made on behalf of us, if at all, only by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction. 19. FEES AND EXPENSES. Except as set forth herein, we will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of units pursuant to the offer. We have retained River Oaks Partnership Services, Inc. to act as Information Agent in connection with our offer. The Information Agent may contact holders of units by mail, e-mail, telephone, telex, telegraph and personal interview and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee limited partners to forward materials relating to the offer to beneficial owners of the units. We will pay the Information Agent reasonable and customary compensation for its services in connection with the offer, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify it against certain liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities under the Federal securities laws.

See attached Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for guidance in determining the proper TIN to give the Purchaser. U.S. PERSONS. A limited partner that is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a domestic partnership, a domestic trust or a domestic estate (collectively, "U.S. Persons"), as those terms are defined in the Code, should follow the instructions below with respect to certifying Box 6 and Box 7 of the Acknowledgment and Agreement. BOX 6 - SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9. Part (i), Taxpayer Identification Number -- Tendering limited partners must certify to the Purchaser that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on the Acknowledgment and Agreement in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered" is correct. If a correct TIN is not provided, penalties may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in addition to the limited partner being subject to backup withholding. Part (ii), Backup Withholding -- In order to avoid 31% Federal income tax backup withholding, the tendering limited partner must certify, under penalty of perjury, that such limited partner is not subject to backup withholding. Certain limited partners (including, among others, all corporations and certain exempt non-profit organizations) are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS. When determining the TIN to be furnished, please refer to the following as a guide: Individual accounts - should reflect owner's TIN. Joint accounts - should reflect the TIN of the owner whose name appears first. Trust accounts - should reflect the TIN assigned to the trust. IRA custodial accounts - should reflect the TIN of the custodian (not necessary to provide). Custodial accounts for the benefit of minors - should reflect the TIN of the minor. Corporations, partnership or other business entities - should reflect the TIN assigned to that entity. By signing the Signature Box, the limited partner(s) certifies that the TIN as printed (or corrected) on the front of the Acknowledgment and Agreement is correct. -41- 45 BOX 7 - FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT -- Section 1445 of the Code requires that each limited partner transferring interests in a partnership with real estate assets meeting certain criteria certify under penalty of perjury the representations made in Box 7, or be subject to withholding of tax equal to 10% of the consideration for interests purchased. Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the Code is not an additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be claimed from the IRS. FOREIGN PERSONS -- In order for a tendering limited partner who is a Foreign Person (i.e., not a U.S. Person, as defined above) to qualify as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign limited partner must submit a statement, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that individual's exempt status. Forms for such statements can be obtained from the Information Agent. 5. VALIDITY OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of an Acknowledgment and Agreement and other required documents will be determined by the Purchaser and such determination will be final and binding. The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including these Instructions for the Acknowledgment and Agreement) will be final and binding. The Purchaser will have the right to waive any irregularities or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any irregularities in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be cured within such time as the Purchaser shall determine. The Acknowledgment and Agreement will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor the Information Agent are under any duty to give notification of defects in an Acknowledgment and Agreement and will incur no liability for failure to give such notification. 6. ASSIGNEE STATUS. Assignees must provide documentation to the Information Agent which demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, such person's status as an assignee. 7. TRANSFER TAXES. The amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or such person) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be deducted from the consideration unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted. 8. SPECIAL PAYMENT AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If consideration is to be issued in the name of a person other than the person signing the Signature Box of the Acknowledgment and Agreement or if consideration is to be sent to someone other than such signer or to an address other than that set forth on the Acknowledgment and Agreement in the box entitled "Description of Units Tendered," the appropriate boxes on the Acknowledgment and Agreement must be completed. -42- 46 GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER TO GIVE THE PAYER -- Social Security numbers have nine digits separated by two hyphens: i.e., 000-00-0000.
