The Non-Recourse Promissory Notes (the "Notes") of approximately $49,951,000 in principal and current and deferred interest at March 31, 1999, which matured on November 30, 1998 are in default. In an effort to cure this default, the Partnership is currently seeking to satisfy the Notes by purchasing the Notes pursuant to a tender offer which commenced on March 9, 1999 at $1,423.34 per $1,000 principal amount (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash. The Purchase Price represents 90% of the principal, current accrued interest and deferred interest at February 15, 1999, which equates to a total Purchase Price of approximately $44,672,000. In order to fund the tender offer, the Partnership will use its cash reserves and is seeking financing from a third party financial institution of at least $39,000,000. It is expected that any such financing will be secured by first mortgage loans on the Partnership properties. An affiliate of Fox Capital Management Corporation (the "Managing General Partner") purchased 7,678 Notes on January 4, 1999, and has agreed to tender the notes pursuant to this offer. The offer is conditional upon approximately $33,333,000 of Notes being tendered. The offer originally expired on April 6, 1999, but has been extended. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to obtain the necessary financing with which to consummate the tender offer or that a sufficient number of Noteholders will tender their Notes to enable the Partnership to satisfy the Notes. If the tender offer is not consummated, either because an insufficient number of Noteholders tender or if replacement financing cannot be obtained, it is possible that the Noteholders will exercise their rights and foreclose on the Partnership's properties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Partnership be unable to continue as a going concern. NOTE B - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 information to conform to the 1999 presentation. NOTE C - TRANSFER OF CONTROL Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust merged into Apartment Investment and Management Company, a publicly traded real estate investment trust ("AIMCO"), with AIMCO being the surviving corporation (the "Insignia Merger"). As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner does not believe that this transaction will have a material effect on the affairs and operations of the Partnership. NOTE D - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were incurred during the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 (in thousands) Property management fees (included in operating expenses) $ 39 $ 38 Reimbursement for services of affiliates 52 54 During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, affiliates of the Managing General Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from all of the Partnership's residential properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $39,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the Partnership's commercial properties, these services were provided by an unrelated party for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $52,000 and $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. On January 4, 1999, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner purchased 7,678 Notes from a noteholder for $450 per Note, or $3,455,100. On February 10, 1999, the Partnership purchased 2,844 Notes from a noteholder for $450 per Note, or $1,279,800. The Notes purchased by the Partnership will be cancelled. In addition, on March 9, 1999, the Partnership commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding Notes. The Partnership offered to purchase all of the 98,697 outstanding Notes at $1,423.34 per $1,000 principal amount (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash. The Purchase Price represents 90% of the principal, current accrued interest and deferred interest at February 15, 1999, which equates to a total Purchase Price of approximately $44,672,000. The offer, which originally expired on April 6, 1999, has been extended, is subject to, among other things, the Partnership obtaining at least $39,000,000 in financing with which to purchase the Notes. See "Note A - Going Concern". NOTE E - SEGMENT REPORTING Description of the types of products and services from which the reportable segment derives its revenues: The Partnership has two reportable segments: residential properties and commercial properties. The Partnership's residential property segment consists of two apartment complexes located in the Southeast United States. The Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less. The commercial property segment consists of five office complexes in Texas, North Carolina, Virginia and Kansas. The Partnership leases office space for terms that typically exceed one year. Measurement of segment profit or loss: The Partnership evaluates performance based on net income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998. Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segment: The Partnership's reportable segments consist of investment properties that offer different products and services. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they provide distinct services with different types of products and customers. Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 is shown in the tables below (in thousands). The "Other" Column includes partnership administration related items and income and expense not allocated to the reportable segments. 1999 Residential Commercial Other Totals Rental income $ 724 $ 1,213 $ -- $ 1,937 Other income 27 2 83 112 Income from settlement -- -- 147 147 Interest expense -- -- 628 628 Depreciation 115 310 -- 425 General and administrative expense -- -- 303 303 Segment profit (loss) 277 382 (701) (42) Total assets 10,658 21,541 9,840 42,039 Capital expenditures for investment properties 67 43 -- 110 1998 Residential Commercial Other Totals Rental income $ 709 $ 1,186 $ -- $ 1,895 Other income 40 4 91 135 Income from settlement -- -- 256 256 Interest expense -- -- 628 628 Depreciation 115 294 -- 409 Amortization of deferred expense -- -- 81 81 General and administrative expense -- -- 188 188 Segment profit (loss) 262 426 (550) 138 Total assets 10,833 22,057 8,214 41,104 Capital expenditures for investment properties 27 16 -- 43 NOTE F - CONTINGENCY On January 24, 1990, a settlement agreement was executed by and between the Partnership and certain defendants in connection with legal proceedings at Commonwealth Centre. Lincoln Property Company ("Lincoln"), one of the defendants, provided the Partnership with a deficiency certificate totaling $1,250,000 pursuant to Lincoln's company-wide debt restructuring plan. Effective December 31, 1994, the obligators under this collateral pool agreement exercised their right to extend the maturity date of the deficiency certificates to December 31, 1997. The senior obligators have accepted an offer to settle the outstanding amounts due from Lincoln at a discounted rate. The Managing General Partner was obligated to accept the initial settlement which equated to approximately $256,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Partnership has not recorded a receivable on the financial statements due to the uncertainty of receiving any funds. The initial settlement related to the cash available to distribute in the collateral pool. Additional assets were sold from this collateral pool, and the Partnership received further funds of approximately $45,000 during the remaining months of 1998 as well as approximately $147,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1999. It is anticipated this will be the final payment received by the Parntnership. With receipt of this settlement, the Partnership has recorded income from the settlement in the financial statements. The current settlement relates to the cash available to distribute in the collateral pool. NOTE G - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia and entities which were, at the time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates as well as a recently announced agreement between Insignia and AIMCO. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner has filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999. No ruling on such demurrers has been received. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Partnership from time to time. The discussion of the Partnership's business and results of operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Partnership's business and results of operation. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes, three office buildings, and two business parks. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998: Average Occupancy Property 1999 1998 Commonwealth Centre (1) 91% 97% Dallas, TX Crabtree Office Center (2) 90% 99% Raleigh, North Carolina Linpro Park I (3) 100% 89% Reston, Virginia Metcalf 103 Office Park 98% 97% Overland Park, Kansas Highland Park Commerce Center (4) 94% 99% Charlotte, North Carolina Harbor Club Downs 96% 96% Palm Harbor, Florida The Corners Apartments (5) 92% 86% Spartanburg, South Carolina (1) The decrease in occupancy at Commonwealth Center is due to the loss of one tenant occupying 8,029 square feet, which represents approximately 7% of the total space. (2) The decrease in occupancy at Crabtree Office Center is due to the loss of two tenants occupying 5,840 square feet, which represents approximately 10% of the total space. (3) The increase in occupancy at Linpro Park I is due to the addition of one tenant occupying the remaining available space. (4) The decrease in occupancy at Highland Park Commerce Center is due to the loss of one tenant occupying 4,657 square feet, which represents approximately 4% of the total space. (5) The increase in occupancy at The Corners Apartments is due to an increased marketing effort. Results of Operations The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately $42,000 as compared to net income of approximately $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in net loss attributable to a decrease in total revenues and an increase in total expenses. Total revenues decreased due to a decrease in income from a deficiency certificate settlement partially offset by an increase in rental income. Rental income increased as a result of an increase in occupancy Linpro Park I and the Corners and an increase in average rental rates at Highland Park Commerce Center, Metcalf 103 Office Park, Harbor Club Downs and The Corners Apartments. A lower deficiency certificate settlement receipt was received by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 1999 versus the three months ended March 31, 1998. Total expenses increased due to an increase in operating, general and administrative and depreciation expenses partially offset by a decrease in amortization of sales commissions and organizational costs. Operating expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in property expenses resulting from small increases in expenses at Harbor Club Downs and The Corners Apartments. General and administrative expenses increased primarily as a result of an increase in legal fees related to negotiations in connection with the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes (see further discussion below) and the timing of printing expense payments. Depreciation expenses increased due to the addition of depreciable assets placed in service. Amortization of sales commissions and organizational costs decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the corresponding period in 1998 as a result of the assets fully amortizing during the fourth quarter of 1998. Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are reimbursements to the Managing General Partner allowed under the Partnership Agreement associated with its management of the Partnership. In addition, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing 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 Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Capital Resources and Liquidity At March 31, 1999, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8,246,000 as compared to approximately $8,191,000 at March 31, 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $951,000 from the Partnership's year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to approximately $418,000 of cash used in operating activities, approximately $143,000 of cash used in investing activities and approximately $390,000 of cash used in financing activities. Cash used in investing activities consists of property improvements and replacements and lease commissions. Cash used in financing activities consists of loan costs. The Partnership invests its working capital in a money market account. In order to finance the purchase of its properties, the Partnership sold Nonrecourse Pension Investor Notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $49,348,500 (the "Notes"). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Partnership was required to pay interest at a rate of 4% per annum on the Notes, and accrue the additional 4% per annum due on the Notes. The Notes are secured by all of the Partnership's properties. The Notes, which had a balance of principal and current and deferred interest of approximately $49,951,000 at March 31, 1999, matured on November 30, 1998. As a result, the Partnership is currently in default under the Nonrecourse Promissory Notes. The Managing General Partner has contacted the indenture trustee for the Notes and certain holders of Notes regarding this default. In an effort to cure this default, the Partnership is currently seeking to satisfy the Notes by purchasing the Notes pursuant to a tender offer which commenced on March 9, 1999 at $1,423.34 per $1,000 principal amount (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash. The Purchase Price represents 90% of the principal, current accrued interest and deferred interest at February 15, 1999, which equates to a total Purchase Price of approximately $44,672,000. In order to fund the tender offer, the Partnership will use its cash reserves and is seeking financing of at least $39,000,000. It is expected that any such financing will be secured by first mortgage loans on Partnership properties. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner purchased 7,678 Notes on January 4, 1999, and has agreed to tender the notes pursuant to this offer. The offer is conditional upon approximately $33,333,000 of Notes being tendered. The offer originally expired on April 6, 1999, but has been extended. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to obtain the necessary financing with which to consummate the tender offer or that a sufficient number of noteholders will tender their Notes to enable the Partnership to satisfy the Notes. If the tender offer is not consummated, either because an insufficient number of noteholders tender or if replacement financing cannot be obtained, it is possible that the noteholders will exercise their rights and foreclose on the Partnership's properties. Assuming that the Partnership is successful in tendering for the Notes and consummating the loan as described above, 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 Registrant and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. Capital improvements planned for each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below. Commonwealth Center During the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Partnership completed approximately $31,000 of capital improvement projects at Commonwealth Center, consisting of building improvements. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $168,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $38,000. Crabtree Office Center During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed approximately $6,000 of capital improvement projects at Crabtree Office Center, consisting of tenant improvements. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $112,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvements planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $95,000. Highland Park Commerce Center During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership did not complete any capital improvement projects at Highland Park. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $141,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $100,000. Linpro Park I During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership did not complete any capital improvement projects at Linpro Office building. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $439,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, parking lot repairs. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $33,000. Metcalf 103 Office Park During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed approximately $6,000 of capital improvement projects at Metcalf 103 Office Park, consisting of tenant improvements. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $79,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $21,000. Harbor Club Downs During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed approximately $20,000 of capital improvement projects at Harbor Club Downs, consisting primarily of floor covering replacements, landscaping and HVAC upgrades. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $503,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, floor covering replacements, roof repairs, parking lot repairs and landscaping. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $439,000. The Corners Apartments During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership completed approximately $47,000 of capital improvement projects at The Corners consisting primarily of balconies, landscaping and floor coverings. Based on a report received from an independent third party consultant analyzing necessary exterior improvements and estimates made by the Managing General Partner on interior improvements, it is estimated that the property requires approximately $388,000 of capital improvements over the near term. Capital improvement projects planned for 1999 include, but are not limited to, floor covering replacements and landscaping. These improvements are expected to cost approximately $73,000. The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such budgeted capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term. No distributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 1999 or 1998. Future cash distributions will depend on the Partnership's ability to cure its current default on the notes and the terms of any financing obtained for the tender offer. If the Partnership is successful in curing its default, future distributions will also depend upon the levels of net cash generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves, and the timing of the debt maturity, refinancing, and/or property sales. The Partnership's distribution policy is reviewed on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance, however, that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital improvements to permit distributions to its partners in 1999 or subsequent periods.

The Partnership is dependent upon the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for management and administrative services ("Managing Agent"). Any of the computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. Over the past two years, the Managing Agent has determined that it will be required to modify or replace significant portions of its software and certain hardware so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Managing Agent presently believes that with modifications or replacements of existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated. However, if such modifications and replacements are not made, or not completed in time, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Partnership. The Managing Agent's plan to resolve Year 2000 issues involves four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date, the Managing Agent has fully completed its assessment of all the information systems that could be significantly affected by the Year 2000, and has begun the remediation, testing and implementation phases on both hardware and software systems. Assessments are continuing in regards to embedded systems. The status of each is detailed below. Status of Progress in Becoming Year 2000 Compliant, Including Timetable for Completion of Each Remaining Phase Computer Hardware: During 1997 and 1998, the Managing Agent identified all of the computer systems at risk and formulated a plan to repair or replace each of the affected systems. In August 1998, the mainframe system used by the Managing Agent became fully functional. In addition to the mainframe, PC-based network servers, routers and desktop PCs were analyzed for compliance. The Managing Agent has begun to replace each of the non-compliant network connections and desktop PCs and, as of March 31, 1999, had completed approximately 75% of this effort. The total cost to the Managing Agent to replace the PC-based network servers, routers and desktop PCs is expected to be approximately $1.5 million of which $1.3 million has been incurred to date. The remaining network connections and desktop PCs are expected to be upgraded to Year 2000 compliant systems by July 31, 1999. Computer Software: The Managing Agent utilizes a combination of off-the-shelf, commercially available software programs as well as custom-written programs that are designed to fit specific needs. Both of these types of programs were studied, and implementation plans written and executed with the intent of repairing or replacing any non-compliant software programs. During 1998, the Managing Agent began converting the existing property management and rent collection systems to its management properties Year 2000 compliant systems. The estimated additional costs to convert such systems at all properties, is $200,000, and the implementation and the testing process is expected to be completed by July 31, 1999. The final software area is the office software and server operating systems. The Managing Agent has upgraded all non-compliant office software systems on each PC and has upgraded 80% of the server operating systems. The remaining server operating systems are planned to be upgraded to be Year 2000 compliant by July 31, 1999. Operating Equipment: The Managing Agent has operating equipment, primarily at the property sites, which needed to be evaluated for Year 2000 compliance. In September 1997, the Managing Agent began taking a census and inventory of embedded systems (including those devices that use time to control systems and machines at specific properties, for example elevators, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, security and alarm systems, etc.). The Managing Agent has chosen to focus its attention mainly upon security systems, elevators, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, telephone systems and switches, and sprinkler systems. While this area is the most difficult to fully research adequately, management has not yet found any major non-compliance issues that put the Managing Agent at risk financially or operationally. The Managing Agent intends to have a third-party conduct an audit of these systems and report their findings by July 31, 1999. Any of the above operating equipment that has been found to be non-compliant to date has been replaced or repaired. To date, these have consisted only of security systems and phone systems. As of March 31, 1999 the Managing Agent has evaluated approximately 86% of the operating equipment for the Year 2000 compliance. The total cost incurred for all properties managed by the Managing Agent as of March 31, 1999 to replace or repair the operating equipment was approximately $400,000. The Managing Agent estimates the cost to replace or repair any remaining operating equipment is approximately $325,000, which is expected to be completed by August 30, 1999. The Managing Agent continues to have "awareness campaigns" throughout the organization designed to raise awareness and report any possible compliance issues regarding operating equipment within its enterprise. Nature and Level of Importance of Third Parties and Their Exposure to the Year 2000 The Managing Agent continues to conduct surveys of its banking and other vendor relationships to assess risks regarding their Year 2000 readiness. The Managing Agent has banking relationships with three major financial institutions, all of which have indicated their compliance efforts will be complete before May 1999. The Managing Agent has updated data transmission standards with two of the three financial institutions. The Managing Agent's contingency plan in this regard is to move accounts from any institution that cannot be certified Year 2000 compliant by June 1, 1999. The Partnership does not rely heavily on any single vendor for goods and services, and does not have significant suppliers and subcontractors who share information systems (external agent). To date the Partnership is not aware of any external agent with a Year 2000 compliance issue that would materially impact the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Partnership has no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant. The Managing Agent does not believe that the inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 remediation process in a timely manner will have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership. However, the effect of non-compliance by external agents is not readily determinable. Costs to Address Year 2000 The total cost of the Year 2000 project to the Managing Agent is estimated at $3.5 million and is being funded from operating cash flows. To date, the Managing Agent has incurred approximately $2.8 million ($0.6 million expensed and $2.2 million capitalized for new systems and equipment) related to all phases of the Year 2000 project. Of the total remaining project costs, approximately $0.5 million is attributable to the purchase of new software and operating equipment, which will be capitalized. The remaining $0.2 million relates to repair of hardware and software and will be expensed as incurred. The Partnership's portion of these costs are not material. Risks Associated with the Year 2000 The Managing Agent believes it has an effective program in place to resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. As noted above, the Managing Agent has not yet completed all necessary phases of the Year 2000 program. In the event that the Managing Agent does not complete any additional phases, certain worst case scenarios could occur. The worst case scenarios could include elevators, security and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems that read incorrect dates and operate with incorrect schedules (e.g., elevators will operate on Monday as if it were Sunday). Although such a change would be annoying to residents, it is not business critical. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 issues could also adversely affect the Partnership. The Partnership could be subject to litigation for, among other things, computer system failures, equipment shutdowns or failure to properly date business records. The amount of potential liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000 The Managing Agent has contingency plans for certain critical applications and is working on such plans for others. These contingency plans involve, among other actions, manual workarounds and selecting new relationships for such activities as banking relationships and elevator operating systems. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging the acquisition by Insignia and entities which were, at the time, affiliates of Insignia ("Insignia Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities, past tender offers by Insignia Affiliates as well as a recently announced agreement between Insignia and AIMCO. The complaint seeks monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner has filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard during February 1999. No ruling on such demurrers has been received. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated with this case, if any, will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. ITEM 6.
