Explanatory Note

Real Estate Associates Limited VI (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is filing this Amendment on Form 10-Q (the "Amendment") for the sole purpose of amending the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 (the "Original Filing"). This Amendment adjusts the Partnership’s management fee expense for 2008 and 2007. Because of the errors noted above, the Partnership's financial statements showed an understatement of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and an understatement of liabilities and overstatement of partners' capital as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. These errors have been corrected in the restated financial statements.

Please note that this Amendment restates only those items of the Original Filing that were affected by the above-described corrections. Furthermore, the information contained in this Amendment is as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect any subsequent information or events occurring after the date of the Original Filing. Therefore, you should read this Amendment together with other documents that the Partnership has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Information in such reports and documents updates and supersedes certain information contained in this Amendment.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The information contained in the following notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the audited annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 prepared by Real Estate Associates Limited VI (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"). Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

In the opinion of the Partnership’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership at March 31, 2008 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

The general partners collectively have a one percent interest in profits and losses of the Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent interest which is allocated in proportion to their respective individual investments. The general partners of the Partnership are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO” or the "Corporate General Partner") and National Partnership Investment Associates. The Corporate General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company (“AIMCO”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

Correction of an Error

As disclosed in “Note 4 – Transactions with Affiliated Parties”, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management fee. In previous years, the Partnership did not properly recognize the correct amount of management fee expense in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership incorrectly recognized management fee expense of 0.4 percent of the Partnership’s original remaining invested assets of the Local Limited Partnerships. The correct fee is 0.5 percent of the Partnership’s original remaining invested assets of the Local Limited Partnerships. This resulted in the cumulative understatement of management fee expense and a cumulative overstatement of partners’ capital of approximately $350,000 prior to January 1, 2007 and an understatement of management fee expense of approximately $9,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accordingly, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, was understated by approximately $9,000 and $10,000, respectively. The consolidated statements of cash flows reflect an adjustment to net income and due to affiliates of approximately $9,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The following tables set forth the adjustments to the balance sheets as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The only financial statement line items included below are those that have been restated from the originally reported amounts.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Real Estate Associates Limited VI and its majority-owned general partnership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Losses in excess of the minority interest in equity that would otherwise be attributed to the minority interest are being allocated to the Partnership.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The investments in unconsolidated local limited partnerships (the “Local Limited Partnerships”) are accounted for using the equity method. Acquisition, selection fees and other costs related to the acquisition of the Local Limited Partnerships have been capitalized as part of the investment account and are being amortized by the straight line method over the estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.

Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Interest

Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the limited partners’ share of net loss by the number of limited partnership interests outstanding at the beginning of the year. The number of limited partnership interests was 16,702 and 16,714 as of January 1, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

FASB Interpretation No. 46

As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (or “FIN 46”), and applied its requirements to all Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership held a variable interest. FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Partnership holds variable interests in 15 VIEs for which the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary. The 15 VIEs consist of Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership acquired an interest prior to the adoption of FIN 46 that are directly engaged in the ownership and management of 15 apartment properties with a total of 750 units. The Partnership is involved with those VIEs as a non-controlling limited partner equity holder. The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs is limited to the Partnership’s recorded investments in and receivables from these VIEs, which was approximately $364,000 at both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 during the three months ended March 31, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 13 Local Limited Partnerships. In addition, the Partnership holds a majority-owned general partner interest in Real Estate Associates III (“REA III”) which, in turn, holds limited partnership interests in two additional Local Limited Partnerships. In total, therefore, the Partnership holds interests, either directly or indirectly through REA III, in 15 Local Limited Partnerships which owned, as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, residential low income rental projects consisting of 750 apartment units. Certain of the Local Limited Partnerships are encumbered by mortgage notes payable to or insured by agencies of the federal or local government.

The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not have a contractual relationship with the Local Limited Partnerships or exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions, of the Local Limited Partnerships that would require or allow for consolidation. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses of the Local Limited Partnerships based upon its respective ownership percentages between 90% and 99%. The Partnership is also entitled to 99.9% of the profits and losses of REA III. REA III is entitled to a 99% interest in each of the Local Limited Partnerships in which it has invested. Distributions of surplus cash from operations from most of the Local Limited Partnerships are restricted by the Local Limited Partnerships’ Regulatory Agreements with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). These restrictions limit the distribution to a portion, generally less than 10% of the initial invested capital. The excess surplus cash is deposited into a residual receipts reserve, of which the ultimate realization by the Partnership is uncertain as HUD frequently retains it upon sale or dissolution of the Local Limited Partnership. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses and receives distributions from refinancings and sales in accordance with the Local Limited Partnerships’ partnership agreements. These agreements usually limit the Partnership’s distributions to an amount substantially less than its ownership percentage in the Local Limited Partnership.

The individual investments are carried at cost plus the Partnership’s share of the Local Limited Partnership’s profits less the Partnership’s share of the Local Limited Partnership’s losses, distributions and impairment charges. The Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local Limited Partnerships and is not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them. Therefore, it does not recognize losses once its investment in each of the Local Limited Partnerships reaches zero. Distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

For those investments where the Partnership has determined that the carrying value of its investments approximates the estimated fair value of those investments, the Partnership’s policy is to recognize equity in income of the Local Limited Partnerships only to the extent of distributions received and amortization of acquisition costs from those Local Limited Partnerships. Therefore, the Partnership limits its recognition of equity earnings to the amount it expects to ultimately realize.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the investment balance in 13 of the 15 Local Limited Partnerships had been reduced to zero. The Partnership still has an investment balance in Cassady Village Apartments, Ltd. (“Cassady Village”) and Park Place Limited Partnership.

At times, advances are made to the Local Limited Partnerships. Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Limited Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership’s investment in the Local Limited Partnership. Advances made to Local Limited Partnerships for which the investment has been reduced to zero are charged to expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $26,000 and $30,000, respectively, was recognized as expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for advances to the Local Limited Partnerships.

On August 6, 2007 a Local Limited Partnership, SOL 413, sold its investment property, consisting of 12 units, for a sales price of approximately $732,000. After payment of closing costs, repayment of the mortgage encumbering SOL 413’s investment property, and payment of other liabilities associated with SOL 413’s investment property, including advances of approximately $22,000 from the Partnership, the total proceeds to the Partnership were approximately $328,000, which was included in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships recognized as income for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Partnership agreed to advance SOL 413 approximately $25,000 for costs associated with the Local Limited Partnership’s Puerto Rico tax liability. This amount is included in advances to Local Limited Partnerships recognized as expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The advance was not made until April 2008, therefore a liability was recorded as of March 31, 2008. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in SOL 413 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

During 2006, the Local Operating General Partner of one of the Local Limited Partnerships, Cady Brook Apartments, entered into a purchase and sale contract with a third party to sell the investment property for a sales price of approximately $970,000. The sale is subject to due diligence, and there can be no certainty regarding the timing of such sale or if a sale will even occur. The Local Operating General Partner of Cady Brook Apartments and the purchaser are currently negotiating items identified during the due diligence process, including potential adjustments to the sales price. The Corporate General Partner currently estimates the sale, if it occurs, will result in proceeds to the Partnership, however the amount of proceeds is not determinable at this time. The Partnership has no remaining investment balance in Cady Brook Apartments at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The following is a summary of the investments in Local Limited Partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 2008(in thousands):

Balance, beginning of period	$ 364
Equity in income of Local Limited Partnerships	3
Advances to Local Limited Partnerships	26
Advances to Local Limited Partnerships
recognized as expense	(26)
Amortization of acquisition costs	(3)

Balance, end of period	$ 364

The following are unaudited combined estimated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 of Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested (in thousands):

The combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 have been restated to exclude the operations of Cady Brook Apartments, which is held for sale at March 31, 2008, Eastridge Apartments and SOL 413 due to their sales in 2007, and Valley Oaks, for which no financial information is available. In addition, the combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 exclude the operations of Kentucky Manor, for which no financial information is available.

In addition to being the Corporate General Partner, NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner for five Local Limited Partnerships.

The current policy of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) is to not renew the Housing Assistance Payment (“HAP”) Contracts on a long term basis on the existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under current law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market rentals, which may not be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD (“FHA”) unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of current policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (“MAHRAA”) provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest rate second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy.

When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance that the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has an investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness under MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is uncertain.

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE AND AMOUNTS DUE FOR PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

The Partnership is obligated on non-recourse notes payable of $520,000 which bear interest at 9.5 percent per annum and have principal maturities of December 1999. The notes and related interest are payable from cash flow generated from operations of the related rental properties as defined in the notes. These obligations are collateralized by the Partnership’s investments in the Local Limited Partnerships. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes. The notes payable and related accrued interest aggregating approximately $1,698,000 and $1,686,000 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, relating to Cassady Village became payable prior to March 31, 2008 and are currently in default. During 2005, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the non-recourse note holder for Cassady Village to permit the holder to purchase a series of projects including the properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships Cassady Village and Marshall Plaza I & II Apartments. Pending the decision to purchase one of the above properties and enter into a purchase agreement, the note holder agreed to forebear taking any action under the note for such period. The Partnership’s investment balance in Cassady Village at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was approximately $80,000. The Partnership’s investment balance in Marshall Plaza I & II at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was zero.

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management fee equal to 0.5 percent of the original invested assets of the Local Limited Partnerships at the beginning of the year. Invested assets are defined as the costs of acquiring project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of the respective Local Limited Partnerships. The fee was approximately $35,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In addition to being the Corporate General Partner, NAPICO, or one of its affiliates, is the general partner for five Local Limited Partnerships.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES

The Corporate General Partner is involved in various lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and the Corporate General Partner, the claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Partnership’s future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership and its investment in limited partnerships and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; financing risks, including the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the limited partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Corporate General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The properties in which the Partnership has invested, through its investments in the Local Limited Partnerships, receive one or more forms of assistance from the Federal Government. As a result, the Local Limited Partnerships’ ability to transfer funds either to the Partnership or among themselves in the form of cash distributions, loans or advances is generally restricted by these government assistance programs. These restrictions, however, are not expected to impact the Partnership’s ability to meet its cash obligations.

The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income earned from investing available cash and distributions from Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. It is not expected that any of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to the Partnership's limited partners in any material amount. An infrequent source of funds is from the sale of a Local Limited Partnership property or the sale of the Partnership’s interest in a Local Limited Partnership. No distributions to partners were made during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships are recognized as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance has been reduced to zero. Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income. No distributions were received during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,680,000 and $1,989,000, respectively. All of this cash is on deposit primarily with a financial institution, earning interest at market rates. This resulted in the Partnership earning approximately $24,000 and $26,000 in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The amount of interest income varies with market rates available on deposits and with the amount of funds available for investment. Cash equivalents can be converted to cash to meet obligations of the Partnership as they arise. The Partnership intends to continue investing available funds in this manner.

The Partnership is obligated on non-recourse notes payable of $520,000, which bear interest at 9.5 percent per annum and have principal maturities of December 1999. The notes and related interest are payable from cash flow generated from operations of the related rental property as defined in the notes. These obligations are collateralized by the Partnership’s investment in the Local Limited Partnership. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes. The notes payable and related accrued interest aggregating approximately $1,698,000, relating to Cassady Village Apartments, Ltd. (“Cassady Village”), became payable prior to March 31, 2008 and are currently in default. During 2005, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the non-recourse note holder for Cassady Village to permit the holder to purchase a series of projects including the properties owned by the Local Limited Partnerships Cassady Village and Marshall Plaza I & II Apartments. Pending the decision to purchase one of the above properties and enter into a purchase agreement, the note holder agreed to forebear taking any action under the note for such period. The Partnership’s investment balance in Cassady Village at March 31, 2008 was approximately $80,000. The Partnership’s investment balance in Marshall Plaza I & II Apartments at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was zero.

Results of Operations

At March 31, 2008, the Partnership had investments in 13 Local Limited Partnerships and a general partner interest in REA III which, in turn, holds limited partnership interests in two additional Local Limited Partnerships, all of which own housing projects, most of which were substantially rented. The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not have a contractual relationship with the Local Limited Partnerships or exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions, of the Local Limited Partnerships that would require or allow for consolidation. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investment in the Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method. Thus the individual investments are carried at cost plus the Partnership’s share of the Local Limited Partnership’s profits less the Partnership’s share of the Local Limited Partnership’s losses, distributions and any impairment charges. However, since the Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local Limited Partnerships, or is not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them, it does not recognize losses once its investment in each of the Local Limited Partnerships reaches zero. Distributions from the Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the consolidated statements of operations. For those investments where the Partnership has determined that the carrying value of its investments approximates the estimated fair value of those investments, the Partnership’s policy is to recognize equity in income of the Local Limited Partnerships only to the extent of distributions received and amortization of acquisition costs from those Local Limited Partnerships.

The investments in all but two of the Local Limited Partnerships have been reduced to zero as of March 31, 2008. The Partnership still has an investment balance in Cassady Village and Park Place Limited Partnerships.

A recurring partnership expense is the annual management fee. The fee is payable to the Corporate General Partner of the Partnership and is calculated at 0.5 percent of the Partnership's original remaining invested assets at the beginning of the year. The management fee is paid to the Corporate General Partner for its continuing management of the Partnership affairs. Management fees were approximately $35,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Operating expenses, other than management fees, consist of legal and accounting fees for services rendered to the Partnership and general and administrative expenses. Legal and accounting fees were approximately $14,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $5,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies.

The Partnership incurs expense for certain New Jersey state tax returns. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the expense was approximately $33,000 and $22,000, respectively.

Interest expense on non-recourse notes payable was approximately $12,000 and $16,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The decrease in interest expense is due to the extinguishment of debt associated with Eastridge Apartments due to its sale during the fourth quarter of 2007.

At times, advances are made to the Local Limited Partnerships. Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Limited Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership’s investment in the Local Limited Partnership. Advances made to Local Limited Partnerships for which the investment has been reduced to zero are charged to expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately $26,000 and $30,000, respectively, was recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for advances to the Local Limited Partnerships.

The Partnership, as a limited partner in the Local Limited Partnerships in which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the management and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership investments are also subject to adverse general economic conditions, and, accordingly, the status of the national legislation which could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses, which in turn could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the projects.

The current policy of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) is to not renew the Housing Assistance Payment (“HAP”) Contracts on a long term basis on the existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under current law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD (“FHA”) unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of current policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (“MAHRAA”) provides for the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest rate second mortgage loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Partnership owns limited partnership interests in unconsolidated Local Limited Partnerships, in which the Partnership’s ownership percentage ranges from 90% to 99%. However, based on the provisions of the relevant partnership agreements, the Partnership, as a limited partner, does not have control or a contractual relationship with the Local Limited Partnerships that would require or allow for consolidation under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (see “Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the consolidated financial statements in “Item 1. Financial Statements”). There are no lines of credit, side agreements or any other derivative financial instruments between the Local Limited Partnerships and the Partnership. Accordingly the Partnership’s maximum risk of loss related to these unconsolidated Local Limited Partnerships is limited to the recorded investments in and receivables from the Local Limited Partnerships. See “Note 2 – Investments In and Advances to Local Limited Partnerships” of the consolidated financial statements in “Item 1. Financial Statements” for additional information about the Partnership’s investments in unconsolidated Local Limited Partnerships.

Other

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partnership interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 879.5 limited partnership units (the "Units") (or 1,759 limited partnership interests) in the Partnership representing 10.53% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2008. A Unit consists of two limited partnership interests. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Corporate General Partner. Although the Corporate General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Corporate General Partner, as corporate general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Corporate General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

FASB Interpretation No. 46

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its critical accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not have a contractual relationship with the Local Limited Partnerships or exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions, of the Local Limited Partnerships that would require or allow for consolidation. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses of the Local Limited Partnerships based upon its respective ownership percentages between 90% and 99%. The Partnership is also entitled to 99.9% of the profits and losses of REA III. REA III is entitled to a 99% interest in each of the Local Limited Partnerships in which it has invested. Distributions of surplus cash from operations from most of the Local Limited Partnerships are restricted by the Local Limited Partnerships’ Regulatory Agreements with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). These restrictions limit the distribution to a portion, generally less than 10%, of the initial invested capital. The excess surplus cash is deposited into a residual receipts reserve, of which the ultimate realization by the Partnership is uncertain as HUD frequently retains it upon sale or dissolution of the Local Limited Partnership. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses and receives distributions from refinancings and sales in accordance with the Local Limited Partnerships’ partnership agreements. These agreements usually limit the Partnership’s distributions to an amount substantially less than its ownership percentage in the Local Limited Partnership.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Corporate General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In connection with the restatement of the Partnership’s financial statements due to the failure to properly record management fee expense, the Partnership’s management reevaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this reevaluation, the Partnership’s management has concluded that a material weakness in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting existed and the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2008. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership’s management remediated the material weakness in its internal control by restating the Partnership’s financial statements and improving the education of accounting personnel to ensure the understanding and application of appropriate accounting treatment, as well as improving the Partnership's accounting review procedures. Accordingly, the Partnership's management has concluded that, as of the date of this filing, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Partnership’s management remediated the material weakness in its internal control by restating the Partnership’s financial statements and improving the education of accounting personnel to ensure the understanding and application of appropriate accounting treatment, as well as improving the Partnership's accounting review procedures. Accordingly, the Partnership's management has concluded that, as of the date of this filing, the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

There have been no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
