DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE 1. Portions of the Prospectus of Registrant dated March 22, 1984 (included in Registration Statement, No. 2-86995, of Registrant) are incorporated by reference into Parts I and III. PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ------------------------ Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is engaged in the business of acquiring, operating and holding real properties for investment. The Registrant acquired eight existing apartment properties during 1984 and 1985 and has been operating such properties since that time with the exception of Northridge Landing Apartments, which the Partnership permitted a lender to foreclose upon on February 6, 1990. Also, on September 29, 1995, the Registrant sold Marble Hills Apartments. Commencing March 22, 1984, the Registrant offered through E. F. Hutton & Company Inc. ("Hutton") up to 34,900 Units of Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units") at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit with a minimum purchase of 5 Units ($5,000), or 2 Units ($2,000) for an Individual Retirement Account. By means of Supplement No. 4 dated September 28, 1984, the Partnership offered for sale an additional 15,000 Units. Shelter Realty VI Corporation (the "Corporate General Partner") purchased 100 units as required by the Partnership Agreement. Limited partners are not required to make any additional capital contributions. The Units were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 via Registration Statement No. 2-86995 (the "Registration Statement"). Reference is made to the Prospectus of Registrant dated March 22, 1984 (the "Prospectus") contained in said Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. The offering terminated in October 1984. Upon termination of the offering, the Registrant had accepted subscriptions for 42,324 Units, including 100 Units purchased by the Corporate General Partner, for an aggregate of $42,324,000. Unsold Units (numbering 7,676) were deregistered pursuant to Post Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 2-93285 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 1984. The Registrant invested approximately $30,300,000 of such proceeds in eight existing apartment properties and thereby completed its acquisition program in March 1985 at approximately the expenditure level estimated in the Prospectus. A further description of the Partnership's business is included in Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation included in "Item 6" of this Form 10-KSB. The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services are performed by the Corporate General Partner and by Insignia Residential Group, L.P., an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), the ultimate parent company of the Corporate General Partner. Pursuant to a management agreement between them, Insignia Residential Group, L.P. provides property management services to the Registrant. The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive, and the Partnership is not a significant factor in this industry. The Registrant's properties are subject to competition from similar properties in the vicinity in which the properties are located. In addition, various limited partnerships have been formed by the General Partners and/or their affiliates to engage in business which may be competitive with the Registrant. ITEM 2.

The Partnership exercised interest rate buy-down options for each of the mortgage notes payable reducing the stated rate from 8.76% to 7.6% in 1992, the year these properties were refinanced. The fee for the interest rate reduction amounted to approximately $2,433,000 and is being amortized as a loan discount using the interest method over the life of the loans. The unamortized discount is reflected as a reduction of the mortgage notes payable and increases the effective rate of the debt to 8.76%. The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the respective apartment properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective apartment properties. The notes cannot be prepaid prior to November 15, 1997; thereafter, they require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity and prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing indebtedness. Average annual rental rates and occupancy for 1997 and 1996 for each property: Average Annual Average Annual Rental Rates Occupancy 1997 1996 1997 1996 Rocky Creek $ 6,755 $ 6,646 90% 86% Carriage House 7,230 6,828 92% 97% Nottingham Square 6,787 6,663 92% 93% Foxfire/Barcelona 6,896 6,495 95% 98% River Reach 7,693 7,421 97% 98% Village Garden 7,400 6,937 95% 95% The corporate General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Rocky Creek Apartments to an increase in corporate and tenant referrals. The decrease in occupancy at Carriage House Apartments is attributable to an overall softness in apartment rentals and an increase in new apartment construction in the Gastonia area. The decrease in occupancy at Foxfire/Barcelona Apartments is attributable to tenants moving out of certain units damaged by a fire in April 1997 and the subsequent construction at the property (See "Part II Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" for more detailed information). Rental rates were increased at all of the properties in 1997. As noted under "Item 1., Description of Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The Corporate General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured. The multi-family residential properties' lease terms are for one year or less. No individual tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. Real estate taxes and effective rates in 1997 for each property were: (dollar amounts in thousands) 1997 1997 Billing* Rate Rocky Creek $ 38 2.82% Carriage House 41 1.32% Nottingham Square 415 3.18% Foxfire/Barcelona 159 1.62% River Reach 220 2.06% Village Garden 39 8.97% *Due to these properties having a fiscal year different than the real estate tax year, tax expense does not agree to the 1997 billings. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ----------------- The Registrant is unaware of any pending outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature. The General Partner of the Registrant believes that all such pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material adverse effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS ---------------------------------------------------- During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, no matter was submitted to a vote of unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNER MATTERS ---------------------------------------------------------- As of October 31, 1997, there was minimal trading of the Units in the secondary market establishing a high and low value of $365 and $312, respectively, per unit as quoted in the September/October 1997 edition of The Partnership Spectrum. As of October 31, 1997, there were 3,069 holders of record owning an aggregate of 42,324 Units of which Insignia and affiliates owned 11,471 units. No public trading has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future. Distributions of the proceeds from the sale of Marble Hills of approximately $1,000,000 were paid in the first quarter of 1996. Distributions of approximately $983,000 were paid in September 1997. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, refinancings, property sales and cash reserves. As of October 31, 1997, the Reserve Account was fully funded, however if it becomes necessary to draw upon the reserves, distributions may also be restricted by the requirement to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) into the Reserve Account as disclosed in "Note A" of the financial statements. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION ---------------------------------------------------------- This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - - --------------------- The Partnership realized net income of approximately $395,000 for the year ended October 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of approximately $61,000 for the corresponding period of 1996. (See "Note C" of the financial statements for a reconciliation of these amounts to the Partnership's federal taxable income (loss). The increase in net income for the year ended October 31, 1997, is primarily attributable to the net casualty gains, as discussed below, and rental rate increases at all of the Partnership's investment properties. Partially offsetting this increase in net income was an increase in operating expenses due to an exterior painting project at the Carriage House Apartments, exterior building improvements and painting at the River Reach Apartments, and higher rental concessions at Nottingham Square in an effort to increase occupancy. The net increase in operating expenses was offset by decreases in operating expenses at Foxfire/Barcelona primarily due to the installation of water saving devices in the units, which decrease water and sewer expenses, and non-recurring exterior painting and gutter repairs which were completed in 1996. Also offsetting the increase in net income was an increase in depreciation expense due primarily to property improvements and replacements at Nottingham Square. During the year ended October 31, 1997, the Partnership recorded the following casualty gains and losses. A casualty gain of approximately $240,000 resulted from the insurance proceeds from hail and wind storm damage at Nottingham Square Apartments that occurred in the second quarter of 1996. In November 1996, a fire occurred at Carriage House Apartments which damaged one unit and caused smoke damage to two additional units and the common area. The estimated costs to repair the units exceeded the insurance proceeds received and thus resulted in a casualty loss of approximately $8,000. In March 1997, a fire occurred at Village Garden Apartments which destroyed one unit and caused smoke and water damage to additional units. The estimated costs to repair the units exceeded the insurance proceeds expected to be received and thus resulted in a casualty loss of approximately $10,000. In April 1997, a fire occurred at Foxfire/Barcelona Apartments which destroyed an entire building, consisting of eight units. A casualty gain of approximately $139,000 resulted from the expected insurance proceeds exceeding the basis of the units destroyed, plus the total estimated non-capitalized costs to replace the assets. In May 1997, a tornado caused damage to River Reach Apartments resulting in uprooted trees, minor damage to the parking lot and roofs of two units. A casualty loss of approximately $19,000 resulted. The combination of these casualty events resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $342,000 for the year ended October 31, 1997. During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss resulting from a fire which destroyed the interiors of three units at Nottingham Square Apartments. Although the damage was covered by insurance, the damage resulted in a loss of approximately $1,000. The loss resulted from gross proceeds received of approximately $43,000, which were less than the basis of the property plus expenses to replace the damaged interiors. Included in operating expense is approximately $509,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of exterior building improvements and painting, construction oversight costs and major landscaping for the year ended October 31, 1997. For the year ended October 31, 1996, approximately $332,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of gutter repairs, exterior building repairs and painting, major landscaping and swimming pool repairs is included in operating expense. Management relies on the annual appraisals performed by outside appraisers to assess the possible impairment of investment property values. There are three recognized approaches or techniques available to the appraiser. When applicable, these approaches are used to process the data considered significant to each to arrive at separate value indications. In all instances the experience of the appraiser, coupled with his objective judgment, plays a major role in arriving at the conclusions of the indicated value from which the final estimate of value is made. The three approaches commonly known are the cost approach, the sales comparison approach, and the income approach. The cost approach is often not considered to be reliable due to the lack of land sales and the significant amount of depreciation and, therefore, is often not presented. Upon receipt of the appraisals, any property which is stated on the books of the Partnership above the estimated value given in the appraisal, is written down to the estimated value provided by the appraiser. The appraiser assumes a stabilized occupancy at the time of the appraisal and, therefore, any impairment of value is considered to be permanent by the Partnership. For the year ended October 31, 1997, no adjustments for impairment of value were necessary. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense. As part of this plan, the Corporate General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Corporate General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - - ------------------------------- At October 31, 1997, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,632,000 compared to approximately $3,104,000 at October 31, 1996. For the year ended October 31, 1997, net cash decreased approximately $472,000. Net cash provided by operating activities increased as a result of increased rental income and decreased operating expenses, as discussed above. The increase is also attributable to the timing of payments of accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to increased property improvements and replacements at the investment properties and an increase in net deposits to restricted escrows, and was offset by an increase in net insurance proceeds from property damages slightly, as discussed above. Net cash used in financing activities increased due to an increase in principal payments on mortgage notes payable, which was offset by a decrease in distributions to partners for the year ended October 31, 1997. The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $26,790,000, net of discount, is being amortized over 257 months with balloon payments of approximately $23,008,000 due on November 15, 2002, at which time the properties are expected to either be refinanced or sold. Distributions of the proceeds from the sale of Marble Hills of approximately $1,000,000 were paid in the first quarter of 1996. Distributions of approximately $983,000 were paid in September 1997. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, refinancing, property sales and cash reserves. As of October 31, 1997, the Reserve Account was fully funded, however if it becomes necessary to draw upon these reserves, distributions may also be restricted by the requirement to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) into the Reserve Account as disclosed in "Note A" of the financial statements. YEAR 2000 - - --------- The Partnership is dependent upon the Corporate General Partner and Insignia for management and administrative services. Insignia has completed an assessment and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The project is estimated to be completed not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The Corporate General Partner believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership. OTHER - - ----- Certain items discussed in this annual report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act") and such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Partnership's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership at October 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ERNST & YOUNG LLP Greenville, South Carolina December 2, 1997 SHELTER PROPERTIES VI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP BALANCE SHEET October 31, 1997 (in thousands, except unit data) Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,632 Receivables and deposits 875 Restricted escrows 1,558 Other assets 659 Investment properties (Notes B & E): Land $ 4,950 Buildings and related personal property 47,259 52,209 Less accumulated depreciation (24,751) 27,458 $33,182 Liabilities and Partners' Capital (Deficit) Liabilities Accounts payable $ 516 Tenant security deposits 193 Accrued taxes 616 Other liabilities 229 Mortgage notes payable (Note B) 26,790 Partners' Capital (Deficit) General partners $ (310) Limited partners (42,324 units issued and outstanding) 5,148 4,838 $33,182 See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements SHELTER PROPERTIES VI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands, except unit data) Years Ended October 31, 1997 1996 Revenues: Rental income $ 9,685 $ 9,418 Other income 692 661 Casualty gain 342 -- Total revenues 10,719 10,079 Expenses: Operating 4,628 4,430 General and administrative 284 293 Depreciation 2,026 1,973 Interest 2,467 2,517 Property taxes 919 927 Total expenses 10,324 10,140 Net income (loss) (Note C) $ 395 $ (61) Net (loss) income allocated to general partner (1%) $ 4 $ (1) Net (loss) income allocated to limited partners (99%) 391 (60) $ 395 $ (61) Net (loss) income per limited partnership unit $ 9.24 $ (1.42) See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements SHELTER PROPERTIES VI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN PARTNERS' CAPITAL (DEFICIT) (in thousands, except unit data) Limited Partnership General Limited Units Partners Partners Total Original capital contributions 42,324 $ 2 $ 42,324 $ 42,326 Partners' (deficit) capital at October 31, 1995 42,324 $ (303) $ 5,790 $ 5,487 Net loss for the year ended October 31, 1996 -- (1) (60) (61) Partners' (deficit) capital at October 31, 1996 42,324 (304) 5,730 5,426 Distributions to partners -- (10) (973) (983) Net income for the year ended October 31, 1997 -- 4 391 395 Partners' (deficit) capital at October 31, 1997 42,324 $ (310) $ 5,148 $ 4,838 See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements SHELTER PROPERTIES VI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (in thousands) Years Ended October 31, 1997 1996 Cash flows from operating activities: Net income (loss) $ 395 $ (61) Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by operating activities: Depreciation 2,026 1,973 Amortization of discounts and loan costs 307 297 Net casualty (gain) loss (342) 1 Loss on disposal of property 24 4 Change in accounts: Receivables and deposits 9 (69) Other assets (57) (86) Accounts payable 118 (213) Tenant security deposit liabilities (4) 12 Accrued taxes 6 44 Other liabilities (213) 78 Net cash provided by operating activities 2,269 1,980 Cash flows from investing activities: Property improvements and replacements (1,104) (938) Net (increase) decrease in restricted escrows (49) 31 Net insurance proceeds from casualty loss 189 59 Net cash used in investing activities (964) (848) Cash flows from financing activities: Payments on mortgage notes payable (794) (736) Distributions to partners (983) (1,000) Net cash used in financing activities (1,777) (1,736) Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents (472) (604) Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 3,104 3,708 Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 2,632 $ 3,104 Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information: Cash paid for interest $ 2,163 $ 2,221 Supplemental disclosure of non-cash activity: At October 31, 1997, receivables and deposits were adjusted by approximately $225,000 for non-cash amounts in connection with the recording of casualty items (See "Note F").

The general partner responsible for management of the Partnership's business is Shelter Realty VI Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the "Corporate General Partner" or "General Partner"). The only other general partner of the Partnership, N. Barton Tuck, Jr. is effectively prohibited by the Partnership's partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") from participating in the management of the Partnership. The Corporate General Partner is an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). The directors and officers of the Corporate General Partner also serve as officers of Insignia. The Partnership Agreement terminates December 31, 2023. The Partnership commenced operations on June 29, 1984, and completed its acquisition of apartment properties on March 28, 1985. The Partnership operates six apartment properties located in the south, midwest and west. At October 31, 1997, affiliates of Insignia own 11,271 units of the Partnership. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Allocation of Cash Distributions: Cash distributions by the Partnership are allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement provides that net cash from operations means revenue received less operating expenses paid, adjusted for certain specified items which primarily include mortgage payments on debt, property improvements and replacements not previously reserved, and the effects of other adjustments to reserves. In the following notes to financial statements, whenever "net cash from (used by) operations" is used, it has the aforementioned meaning. The following is a reconciliation of the subtotal in the accompanying statements of cash flows captioned net cash provided by operating activities to net cash used by operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. However, "net cash used by operations" should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. 1997 1996 (in thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 2,269 $ 1,980 Property improvements and replacements (1,104) (938) Payments on mortgage notes payable (794) (736) Changes in reserves for net operating liabilities 141 234 Change in restricted escrows, net (49) 31 Additional operating reserves (463) (571) Net cash used by operations $ 0 $ 0 The General Partner believed it to be in the best interest of the Partnership to reserve net cash from operations of approximately $463,000 and $571,000 at October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, to fund continuing capital improvements at the six properties. Distributions made from reserves no longer considered necessary by the General Partner are considered to be additional net cash from operations for allocation purposes. During October 1997, the General partner declared and paid a distribution of approximately $983,000 from net cash from operations. The Partnership Agreement provides that 99% of distributions of net cash from operations are allocated to the limited partners until they receive net cash from operations for such fiscal year equal to 7% of their adjusted capital values (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), at which point the general partners will be allocated all net cash from operations until they have received distributions equal to 10% of the aggregate net cash from operations distributed to partners for such fiscal year. Thereafter, the general partners will be allocated 10% of any distributions of remaining net cash from operations for such fiscal year. All distributions of distributable net proceeds (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) from property dispositions and refinancings will be allocated to the limited partners until each limited partner has received an amount equal to a cumulative 7% per annum return based on the average of the limited partners' adjusted capital value, less any prior distributions of net cash from operations and distributable net proceeds, and has also received an amount equal to the limited partners' adjusted capital value. Thereafter, the general partners receive 1% of the selling prices of properties sold where they acted as a broker, and then the limited partners will be allocated 85% of any remaining distributions of distributable net proceeds and the general partners will receive 15%. Distributions may be restricted by the requirement to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) into the Reserve Account until $1,000 per apartment unit is funded for each respective property. Undistributed Net Proceeds from Disposition: Undistributed net proceeds from dispositions in prior years totaled $1,412,000 at October 31, 1997 and 1996. Allocation of Profits, Gains and Losses: Profits, gains and losses of the Partnership are allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. For any fiscal year, to the extent that profits, not including gains from property dispositions, do not exceed distributions of net cash from operations, such profits are allocated in the same manner as such distributions. In any fiscal year in which profits, not including gains from property dispositions, exceed distributions of net cash from operations, such excess is treated on a cumulative basis as if it constituted an equivalent amount of distributable net proceeds and is allocated together with, and in the same manner as, that portion of gain described in the second sentence of the following paragraph. Any gain from property dispositions attributable to the excess, if any, of the indebtedness relating to a property immediately prior to the disposition of such property over the Partnership's adjusted basis in the property shall be allocated to each partner having a negative capital account balance, to the extent of such negative balance. The balance of any gain shall be treated on a cumulative basis as if it constituted an equivalent amount of distributable net proceeds and shall be allocated to the general partners to the extent that general partners would have received distributable net proceeds in connection therewith; the balance shall be allocated to the limited partners. However, the interest of the general partners will be equal to at least 1% of each gain at all times during the existence of the Partnership. All losses, including losses attributable to property dispositions, are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Accordingly, net income (losses) as shown in the statements of operations and changes in partners' capital for 1997 and 1996 were allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Net income per limited partnership unit for each such year was computed as 99% of net income divided by 42,324 weighted average units outstanding. Other Reserves: The General Partner may also designate a portion of cash generated from operations as other reserves in determining net cash from operations. Per the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner designated as other reserves an amount equal to the net liabilities related to the operations of apartment properties during the current fiscal year that are expected to require the use of cash during the next fiscal year. The changes in other reserves during 1997 and 1996 were approximately $141,000 and $234,000, respectively, which amounts were determined by considering changes in the balances of receivables and deposits, other assets, accounts payable, tenant security deposit liabilities, accrued taxes and other liabilities. At this time, the General Partner expects to continue to adjust other reserves based on the net change in the aforementioned account balances. Restricted Escrows: Capital Improvement Account - In 1992, the Partnership mortgaged the real estate assets of its properties under the terms of a multiple-asset real estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC"). At the time of the REMIC refinancing, $1,429,000 of the proceeds were designated for a "capital improvement escrow" for certain capital improvements. At October 31, 1997, the scheduled property improvements have been completed and the escrow account has been eliminated. Reserve Account - In addition to the Capital Improvement Account, a general Reserve Account was established in 1992 with the refinancing proceeds for each mortgaged property. These funds were established to cover necessary repairs and replacements of existing improvements, debt service, out of pocket expenses incurred for ordinary and necessary administrative tasks, and payment of real property taxes and insurance premiums. The Partnership is required to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) from each property to the respective reserve account until the accounts equal $1,000 per apartment unit for each respective property. The minimum balance of $400 per apartment unit, as well as the requirement of $1,000 per apartment unit, has currently been attained. The current balance is approximately $1,558,000. Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery method is used (1) for real property over 15 years for the initial cost of Carriage House Apartments, 18 years for other additions acquired before May 9, 1985, and 19 years for additions after May 8, 1985, and before January 1, 1987, and (2) for personal property over 5 years for additions prior to January 1, 1987. As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for additions after December 31, 1986, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27.5 years and (2) personal property additions over 7 years. Loan Costs: Loan costs of approximately $943,000 less accumulated amortization of approximately $463,000 are included in other assets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loans. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, demand deposits, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with original maturities less than 90 days. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Tenant Security Deposits - The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is current on its rental payments. Leases: The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership recognizes income as earned on its leases. In addition, it is the Corporate General Partner's policy to offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Concessions are charged to expense as incurred. Investment Properties: Investment properties consist of six apartment complexes and are stated at cost. Costs of apartment properties that have been permanently impaired have been written down to the appraised value at the time of impairment. The Corporate General Partner relies on the annual appraisals performed by the outside appraisers for the estimated value of the Partnership's properties. There are three recognized approaches or techniques available to the appraiser. When applicable, these approaches are used to process the data considered significant to each to arrive at separate value indications. In all instances the experience of the appraiser, coupled with his objective judgment, plays a major role in arriving at the conclusions of the indicated value from which the final estimate of value is made. The three approaches commonly known are the cost approach, the sales comparison approach, and the income approach. The cost approach is often not considered to be reliable due to the lack of land sales and the significant amount of depreciation and, therefore, is often not presented. Upon receipt of the appraisals, any property which is stated on the books of the Partnership above the estimated value given in the appraisal, is written down to the estimated value given by the appraiser. The appraiser assumes a stabilized occupancy at the time of the appraisal and, therefore, any impairment of value is considered to be permanent by the Corporate General Partner. For the year ended October 31, 1997, no adjustments for impairment of value were necessary. Advertising: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense, which is included in operating expenses, was approximately $139,000 and $121,000 for the years ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by "SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt, after discounting the scheduled loan payments to maturity, approximates its carrying value. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to the 1997 presentation.

The Partnership exercised interest rate buy-down options for each of the mortgage notes payable reducing the stated rate from 8.76% to 7.6%. The fee for the interest rate reduction amounted to approximately $2,433,000 and is being amortized as a loan discount using the interest method over the life of the loans. The unamortized discount is reflected as a reduction of the mortgage notes payable and increases the effective rate of the debt to 8.76%. The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the respective apartment properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective apartment properties. The notes cannot be prepaid prior to November 15, 1997. Thereafter, the notes require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity and prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing indebtedness. Scheduled principal payments of mortgage notes payable subsequent to October 31, 1997, are as follows (in thousands): 1998 $ 857 1999 924 2000 997 2001 1,075 2002 1,160 Thereafter 23,008 $ 28,021 NOTE C - INCOME TAXES The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that it will be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. The following is a reconciliation of reported net income (loss) and Federal taxable (loss) income (in thousands, except unit data): 1997 1996 Net income (loss) as reported $ 395 $ (61) Add (deduct): Fixed asset write-offs and casualty gain (348) (2) Amortization of present value discounts (6) (16) Depreciation differences (280) (628) Change in prepaid rental income (11) (33) Accrued legal fees -- (76) Other 49 (6) Federal taxable (loss) income $ (201) $ (822) Federal taxable (loss) income per limited partnership unit $ (4.70) $ (19.23) The following is a reconciliation between the Partnership's reported amounts and Federal tax basis of net assets and liabilities (in thousands): Net assets as reported $ 4,838 Buildings and land 3,632 Accumulated depreciation (14,554) Syndication fees 5,286 Other 108 Net assets - tax basis $ (690) NOTE D - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Corporate General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following expenses were paid or accrued to an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner during the year ended October 31, 1997 and 1996: 1997 1996 (in thousands) Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 511 $ 497 Reimbursements for services of affiliates (included in general and administrative expenses) 220 184 Included in reimbursements for services of affiliates is approximately $34,000 and $9,000 of reimbursements for construction oversight costs in 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the period of November 1, 1995 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Corporate General Partner. An affiliate of the Corporate General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master policy. The agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, who received payments on these obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Corporate General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations was not significant.

NOTE F - CASUALTY GAINS AND LOSSES During the year ended October 31, 1997, the Partnership recorded the following casualty gains and losses. A casualty gain of approximately $240,000 resulted from the insurance proceeds from hail and wind storm damage at Nottingham Square Apartments that occurred in the second quarter of 1996. In November 1996, a fire occurred at Carriage House Apartments which damaged one unit and caused smoke damage to two additional units and the common area. The estimated costs to repair the units exceeded the insurance proceeds received and thus resulted in a casualty loss of approximately $8,000. In March 1997, a fire occurred at Village Garden Apartments which destroyed one unit and caused smoke and water damage to additional units. The estimated costs to repair the units exceeded the insurance proceeds expected to be received and thus resulted in a casualty loss of approximately $10,000. In April 1997, a fire occurred at Foxfire/Barcelona Apartments which destroyed an entire building, consisting of eight units. A casualty gain of approximately $139,000 resulted from the expected insurance proceeds exceeding the basis of the units destroyed, plus the total estimated non-capitalized costs to replace the assets. In May 1997, a tornado caused damage to River Reach Apartments resulting in uprooted trees, minor damage to the parking lot and roofs of two units. A casualty loss of approximately $19,000 resulted. The combination of these casualty events resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $342,000 for the year ended October 31, 1997. During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss resulting from a fire which destroyed the interiors of three units at Nottingham Square Apartments. Although the damage was covered by insurance, the damage resulted in a loss of approximately $1,000. The loss resulted from gross proceeds received of approximately $43,000, which were less than the basis of the property plus expenses to replace the damaged interiors. ITEM 8.
