NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



Note A – Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements of VMS National Properties Joint Venture (the "Venture" or "Registrant") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 MAERIL, Inc. ("MAERIL" or 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, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the combined financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Venture's Annual Report on Form  10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Managing General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.


Recent Accounting Pronouncement


In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Venture adopted SFAS No. 154 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material effect on the Venture’s combined financial condition or results of operations.


Note B - Deferred Gain and Notes Payable


Deferred Gain on Extinguishment of Debt:


When the senior and junior loans refinanced in 1997, the senior loans were recorded at the agreed valuation amount of $110,000,000, which was less than the $152,225,000 face amount of the senior debt. If the Venture defaults on the mortgage notes payable or is unable to pay the outstanding agreed valuation amounts upon maturity, then the note face amounts become due. Accordingly, the Venture deferred recognition of a gain of $42,225,000, which is the difference between the note face amounts and the agreed valuation amounts.


Assignment Note:


The Venture executed a purchase money subordinated note (the "Assignment Note") payable to the VMS/Stout Venture, an affiliate of the former general partner, in exchange for the assignment by the VMS/Stout Venture of its interest in the contract of sale to the Venture. The Assignment Note is collateralized by the pledge from Portfolio I and Portfolio II of their respective interests in the Venture.


In November 1993, VMS Realty Partners assigned its 50% interest in the VMS/Stout Venture to the Partners Liquidating Trust which was established for the benefit of the former creditors of VMS Realty Partners and its affiliates.


At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the $38,810,000 Assignment Note is non-interest bearing and is payable only after payment of debt of higher priority, including the senior and junior mortgage notes payable.  Pursuant to Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code,” the Assignment Note, the Long-Term Loan Arrangement Fee Note (as defined below) and related accrued interest were adjusted to the present value of amounts to be paid using an estimated current interest rate of 11.5%. Interest expense was being recognized through the amortization of the discount which became fully amortized in January 2000.


Long-Term Loan Arrangement Fee Note:


The Venture executed an unsecured, nonrecourse promissory note (the "Long-Term Loan Arrangement Fee Note") payable to the VMS/Stout Venture as consideration for arranging long-term financing.


The note in the amount of $3,250,000 does not bear interest and is payable only after debt of a higher priority, including senior and junior mortgage loans, have been repaid.


Note C - Participating Mortgage Note


AIMCO Properties LP, which owns the Managing General Partner and which is a controlled affiliate of AIMCO, purchased (i) the junior debt on November 19, 1999; (ii) a significant interest in the residual value of the properties on November 16, 1999, and (iii) a significant interest in the Bankruptcy Claims (as defined below) effective September 2000. These transactions occurred between AIMCO Properties, L.P. and an unrelated third party and thus had no effect on the combined financial statements of the Venture. Residual value is defined as the amount remaining from a sale of the Venture’s investment properties or refinancing of the mortgages encumbering such investment properties after payment of selling or refinancing costs and repayment of the senior and junior debt, plus accrued interest on each. The agreement states that the Venture will retain an amount equal to $13,500,000 plus accrued interest at 10% compounded monthly (the "Partnership Advance Account") from the proceeds. Interest began accruing on the Partnership Advance Account in 1993 when the bankruptcy plan was finalized. Any proceeds remaining after the Partnership Advance Account is fully funded are split equally (the "50/50 Split") between the Venture and AIMCO Properties, L.P. The Venture must repay the Assignment Note, the Long-term Loan Arrangement Fee Note and other pre-petition claims (collectively the "Bankruptcy Claims") which collectively total approximately $42,139,000 from the Partnership Advance Account. Any amounts remaining in the Partnership Advance Account after payment of the Bankruptcy Claims are split 75% to the Venture and 25% to AIMCO Properties, L.P.


The Venture has recorded the estimated fair value of the participation feature as a mortgage participation liability of approximately $32,531,000 and $32,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Managing General Partner reevaluated the fair value of the participation feature during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 and concluded that the fair value of the participation feature should be increased by approximately $522,000 and reduced by approximately $4,509,000, respectively. There have not been any reevaluation adjustments required since June 30, 2005.  The fair value of the participation feature was calculated based upon information currently available to the Managing General Partner and depends largely upon the fair value of the collateral properties.  These fair values were determined using the net operating income of the properties capitalized at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of property adjusted for market conditions, the physical condition of the property and other factors.  The increase in the fair value of the participation feature for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is attributable to a modification of the calculation of the residual value with respect to whether the various liabilities are to be paid before or after the 50/50 split partially offset by a further increase in the estimated value of the junior loans and advances from the Managing General Partner that will be due at maturity. The reduction in the fair value of the participation feature as of December 31, 2004 is attributable to an increase in the estimated value of the junior loans and advances from the Managing General Partner that will be due at maturity partially offset by an increase in the estimated fair value of the collateral properties.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Venture amortized approximately $1,686,000 and $1,446,000, respectively, of the mortgage participation debt discount which is included in interest expense.  The related mortgage participation debt discount at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was approximately $5,340,000 and $7,026,000, respectively.


Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties


The Venture has no employees and depends on the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Venture activities. The Revised and Amended Asset Management Agreement provides for (i) certain payments to affiliates for real estate advisory services and asset management of the Venture's retained properties for an annual compensation of $300,000, adjusted annually by the consumer price index and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Venture up to $100,000 per annum.


Asset management fees of approximately $86,000 and $93,000 were charged by affiliates of the Managing General Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These fees are included in general and administrative expense.  At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $86,000 and $295,000, respectively, of such fees were owed and are included in due to affiliates.


Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive a percentage of the gross receipts from all of the Venture's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Venture paid or accrued to such affiliates approximately $338,000 and $308,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which are included in property management fee expense. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $65,000 and $11,000, respectively, of such fees were owed and are included in due to affiliates.


Affiliates of the Managing General Partner charged the Venture reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $25,000 for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. These expenses are included in general and administrative expense.


During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Venture was charged fees related to construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of approximately $29,000 and $130,000, respectively. The construction management service fees are calculated based on a percentage of additions to investment properties and are included in investment properties. During the third quarter of 2005, it was determined by the Managing General Partner that approximately $398,000 of such fees previously charged in 2005 and approximately $133,000 of such fees previously charged in 2004 should not have been charged and the total was refunded to the Venture during the first quarter of 2006.  At December 31, 2005, the amount to be refunded of approximately $292,000 was included in receivables and deposits.


An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received bookkeeping reimbursements in the amount of approximately $31,000 for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. These expenses are included in operating expense.


At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Venture owed loans of approximately $10,342,000 and $9,639,000 to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner plus accrued interest thereon of approximately $1,225,000 and $939,000, respectively, which are included in due to affiliates on the combined balance sheets. These loans were made in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement and accrue interest at the prime rate plus 3% (10.75% at March 31, 2006). The Venture recognized interest expense of approximately $289,000 and $155,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner loaned four of the properties approximately $1,104,000 to cover outstanding capital improvement payables and two properties approximately $311,000 to cover operating expense. There were no such loans during the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Venture paid approximately $712,000 of principal and approximately $4,000 of accrued interest on loans owed to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner.  No amounts were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2005.


Prepetition property management fees were approved by the Bankruptcy Court for payment to a former affiliate. This allowed claim may be paid only from available Venture cash. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the outstanding balance of $79,000 is included in other liabilities.


Certain affiliates of the former general partners and the VMS/Stout Venture may be entitled to receive various fees upon disposition of the properties. These fees will be paid from the disposition proceeds and are subordinated to the distributions required by the bankruptcy plan. There were no property dispositions for which proceeds were received during either of the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 or 2005.


The junior debt of approximately $22,820,000 and $22,674,000 at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, is held by an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. The monthly principal and interest payments are based on monthly excess cash flow for each property, as defined in the mortgage agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Venture recognized interest expense of approximately $599,000 and $586,000, respectively.


The Venture insures its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability.  The Venture insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Venture was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $671,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Additional charges will be incurred by the Venture during 2006 as other insurance policies renew later in the year. The Venture was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $457,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.


Note E – Casualty Gain


During the three months ended March 31, 2006, an additional net casualty gain of approximately $4,000 was recorded at Chapelle Le Grande Apartments. The casualty gain related to a plumbing pipe break, occurring on June 27, 2005, which caused damage to two units at the property. The gain was the result of the receipt of additional insurance proceeds of approximately $4,000 offset by less than $1,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Venture recognized a gain of approximately 60,000 from this same casualty. The 2005 gain was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $66,000 offset by approximately $6,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off.


Note F - Contingencies


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present.  Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Venture’s combined financial condition or results of operations.


The Venture is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.


Environmental


Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership and operation of its properties, the Venture could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.  


Mold


The Venture is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements.  The Venture has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure.  Affiliates of the Managing General Partner have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from its properties and the Managing General Partner believes that these measures will minimize the effects that mold could have on residents.  To date, the Venture has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions.  Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the Managing General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Venture’s combined financial condition or results of operations.

(1)

The increase in occupancy at North Park Apartments, Scotchollow, Pathfinder Village, Crosswood Park and Shadowood Apartments is primarily due to property improvements and replacements that made the properties more competitive in their respective market areas.


(2)

The increase in occupancy at Terrace Gardens and The Bluffs is due to property management focusing on increasing occupancy through resident retention and rental concessions.


(3)

The decrease in occupancy at Watergate Apartments is due to a casualty at the property in May of 2005 which resulted in 6 units not available for lease for the balance of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.


(4)

The increase in occupancy at Vista Village Apartments is due to previously deployed military personnel returning to the market area.


The Venture’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Venture, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Venture from increases in expenses. As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Venture from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors which are outside the control of the Venture such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Venture’s financial results.


Results of Operations


The Venture recorded a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of approximately $2,421,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $2,587,000 for the corresponding period in 2005.  The decrease in net loss for the three month period is due to an increase in total revenues offset by an increase in total expenses.  


The increase in total revenues is due to an increase in rental and other income and casualty gain. The increase in rental income is the result of the increase in occupancy at eleven of the Venture’s properties and increases in the average rental rate at eleven of the Venture’s properties.  These increases more than offset the occupancy decreases at four of the Venture’s properties and decreases in the average rental rate at four of the Venture’s properties. Other income increased primarily due to increases in cleaning and damage fees, application fees and utility reimbursements charged by the properties partially offset by decreases in late charges and lease cancellation fees.


During the three months ended March 31, 2006, a net casualty gain of approximately $4,000 was recorded at Chapelle Le Grande Apartments.  The casualty gain related to a plumbing pipe break, occurring on June 27, 2005, which caused damage to two units at the property.  The gain was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $4,000 offset by less than $1,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Venture recognized a gain of approximately $60,000 from this same casualty. The 2005 gain was the result of the receipt of insurance proceeds of approximately $66,000 offset by approximately $6,000 of undepreciated property improvements and replacements being written off.


Total expenses increased primarily due to increases in operating, property management fee, depreciation, property tax and interest expenses.  General and administrative expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods.  Operating expenses increased primarily due to an increase in property expense offset by decreases in administrative and maintenance expenses. Property expenses increased due to increases in salaries and related employee expenses at four of the Venture’s properties and utilities at eight of the Venture’s properties.  Administrative expenses decreased due to decreases in legal expenses at all of the Venture’s properties relating to the New Mezzanine Loan discussed below and training and travel at five of the Venture’s properties. Maintenance expenses decreased due to decreases in contract services at six of the Venture’s properties and snow removal at four of the Venture’s properties.  Property management fees increased as a result of the increase in rental income on which such fees are based.  Depreciation expense increased due to property improvements and replacements placed into service during the past twelve months which are now being depreciated.  Property tax expense increased primarily due to an increase in the tax rates at both Chapelle Le Grande and North Park Apartments and the assessed value for Scotchollow. Interest expense increased as a result of an increase in the amortization of the debt discount related to the mortgage participation liability, as a result of a change in estimate made in June 2005, as discussed below, and an increase in interest charged on advances from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner partially offset by a decrease in interest on the senior debt due to principal reduction payments. The increase in interest charged on advances is due to an increase in advances during 2005 and an increase in the variable interest rate charged on such advances.


Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are asset management fees and reimbursements to the Managing General Partner allowed under the Partnership Agreement associated with its management of the Venture. Costs associated with quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included in general and administrative expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At March 31, 2006, the Venture had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,639,000 as compared to approximately $1,749,000 at March 31, 2005.  Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $220,000 from December 31, 2005. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is a result of approximately $1,480,000 of cash provided by operating activities offset by approximately $982,000 and $278,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements partially offset by net withdrawals from restricted escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender and the receipt of net insurance proceeds related to the casualty at Chapelle le Grande Apartments. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments on the mortgages encumbering the Venture's investment properties and payments on advances received from an affiliate partially offset by advances received from an affiliate. The Venture invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing accounts.


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 Venture and to comply with Federal, state and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Venture expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. Capital improvements planned for each of the Venture's properties are detailed below.


The Venture is generally restricted to annual capital improvements of $300 per unit or approximately $888,000 for all of its properties.  Such amount is equal to the required replacement reserve funding of the senior debt.  As the Venture identifies properties which need additional capital improvements above $300 per unit, approval of the holders of the junior and senior debt is required due to the impact such expenditures have on the ability of the Venture to make required principal and interest payments out of the properties monthly cashflow on the junior debt.  As such the Venture had identified, during the third quarter of 2004, approximately $6,440,000 of capital improvements that need to be made to the properties as a result of life safety issues, compliance with ADA requirements and general updating of the properties.  Such improvements are required to be completed during 2006 and the remaining amounts left to be completed are included in the additional capital improvements expected to be completed for each property identified below.  On November 2, 2004, the Venture, the holder of the senior debt and AIMCO Properties, L.P., which is also the holder of the junior debt, agreed that AIMCO Properties, L.P. would loan up to approximately $6,440,000 to the Venture (the “New Mezzanine Loan”) to fund the above mentioned capital improvements that need to be made to the Venture’s properties.  The New Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of prime plus 3% with unpaid interest being compounded monthly.  The Venture, the holder of the senior debt and AIMCO Properties, L.P. also agreed that cash flow that would otherwise be used to repay the junior debt will instead be used to repay the New Mezzanine Loan, until such time as the New Mezzanine Loan and all accrued interest thereon is paid in full.  The Venture’s Managing General Partner believes that the payment of such amounts to reduce the New Mezzanine Loan instead of the junior debt will reduce the amount of the junior debt amortized prior to its maturity (therefore increasing the amount due) by an amount at least equal to the principal and interest on the New Mezzanine Loan, the effect of which will be to reduce the ultimate payment received by holders of outstanding Bankruptcy Claims (see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note C – Participating Mortgage Note) by a similar amount.

The Registrant's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Registrant. The senior debt encumbering all of the properties totals approximately $97,237,000 and is being amortized over 25 years, with a balloon payment of $93,243,000 due January 2008. Not including the debt discount relating to the mortgage participation liability, the junior debt, which also matures January 2008, totals approximately $22,820,000 and requires monthly payments based upon monthly excess cash flow for each property. The Assignment Note and Long-Term Arrangement Fee Notes totaling approximately $42,060,000 are non-interest bearing and are subordinate to the senior and junior debt and are only payable from the proceeds of the sale or refinancing of the properties.


AIMCO Properties LP, which owns the Managing General Partner and which is a controlled affiliate of AIMCO, purchased (i) the junior debt on November 19, 1999; (ii) a significant interest in the residual value of the properties on November 16, 1999, and (iii) a significant interest in the Bankruptcy Claims (as defined below) effective September 2000. These transactions occurred between AIMCO Properties, L.P. and an unrelated third party and thus had no effect on the combined financial statements of the Venture. Residual value is defined as the amount remaining from a sale of the Venture’s investment properties or refinancing of the mortgages encumbering such investment properties after payment of selling or refinancing costs and repayment of the senior and junior debt, plus accrued interest on each. The agreement states that the Venture will retain an amount equal to $13,500,000 plus accrued interest at 10% compounded monthly (the "Partnership Advance Account") from the proceeds. Interest began accruing on the Partnership Advance Account in 1993 when the bankruptcy plan was finalized. Any proceeds remaining after the Partnership Advance Account is fully funded are split equally (the "50/50 Split") between the Venture and AIMCO Properties, L.P. The Venture must repay the Assignment Note, the Long-term Loan Arrangement Fee Note and other pre-petition claims (collectively the "Bankruptcy Claims") which collectively total approximately $42,139,000 from the Partnership Advance Account. Any amounts remaining in the Partnership Advance Account after payment of the Bankruptcy Claims are split 75% to the Venture and 25% to AIMCO Properties, L.P.


The Venture has recorded the estimated fair value of the participation feature as a mortgage participation liability of approximately $32,531,000 and $32,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Managing General Partner reevaluated the fair value of the participation feature during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 and concluded that the fair value of the participation feature should be increased by approximately $522,000 and reduced by approximately $4,509,000, respectively. There have not been any reevaluation adjustments required since June 30, 2005.  The fair value of the participation feature was calculated based upon information currently available to the Managing General Partner and depends largely upon the fair value of the income of the collateral properties.  These fair values were determined using the net operating income of the properties capitalized at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of property adjusted for market conditions, the physical condition of the property and other factors.  The increase in the fair value of the participation feature for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is attributable to a modification of the calculation of the residual value with respect to whether the various liabilities are to be paid before or after the 50/50 split partially offset by a further increase in the estimated value of the junior loans and advances from the Managing General Partner that will be due at maturity. The reduction in the fair value of the participation feature as of December 31, 2004 is attributable to an increase in the estimated value of the junior loans and advances from the Managing General Partner that will be due at maturity partially offset by an increase in the estimated fair value of the collateral properties.  During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Venture amortized approximately $1,686,000 and $1,446,000, respectively, of the mortgage participation debt discount which is included in interest expense.  The related mortgage participation debt discount at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was approximately $5,340,000 and $7,026,000, respectively.


There were no cash distributions to the partners of either of the Ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. In accordance with the respective Agreements of Limited Partnership, there are no material restrictions on the Partnerships' ability to make cash distributions. Future cash distributions are subject to the order of distributions as stipulated by the Venture's Plan of Reorganization. The source of future distributions will depend upon the levels of net cash generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves, and timing of debt maturities, refinancings and/or property sales. The Ventures’ distribution policies are reviewed on a quarterly basis.  In light of the junior debt requiring payments based on cash flow and the additional capital expenditures required at the Venture’s properties as well as the payments due under the Venture’s Plan of Reorganization, it is not expected that there will be sufficient funds to be distributed to the Venture’s partners in the foreseeable future.


Other


As a result of tender offers, AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 119 units of limited partnership interest in Portfolio I representing 18.48% of the outstanding limited partnership interests, along with the 2% general partner interest for a combined ownership in Portfolio I of 20.48% at March 31, 2006.  AIMCO and its affiliates currently own 67.42 units of limited partnership interest in Portfolio II representing 25.25% of the outstanding limited partnership interests, along with the 2% general partner interest for a combined ownership in Portfolio II of 27.25% at March 31, 2006. The Venture is owned 70.69% by Portfolio I and 29.31% by Portfolio II which results in AIMCO and its affiliates currently owning 22.47% of the Venture at March 31, 2006. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will make one or more additional offers to acquire additional units of limited partnership interest in the Venture 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 Agreements, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, which would include without limitation, voting on certain amendments to the Venture Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Venture, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Venture and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


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


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Investment properties are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable.  If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, the Venture will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Venture’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Venture would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.


Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk.  Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Venture’s investment properties.  These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing.  Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Venture’s assets.


Revenue Recognition


The Venture generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Venture will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Venture evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.


Participating Mortgage Note


The Venture has a participating mortgage note which requires it to record the estimated fair value of the participation feature as a liability and a debt discount. The fair value of the participation feature is calculated based upon information currently available to the Managing General Partner and depends largely upon the fair value of the collateral properties. These fair values are determined using the net operating income of the properties capitalized at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of property adjusted for market conditions, physical condition of the property and other factors. The Managing General Partner evaluates the fair value of the participation feature on an annual basis or as circumstances dictate that it should be analyzed.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Venture is exposed to market risks from adverse changes in interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on the Venture's cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on its indebtedness. As a policy, the Venture does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does it hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Venture is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities used to maintain liquidity and fund business operations. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Venture maintains its debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis except for advances made from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner. These advances bear interest at the prime rate plus three basis points. Based on interest rates at March 31, 2006, an increase or decrease of 100 basis points in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the Venture.


The following table summarizes the Venture's debt obligations at March 31, 2006. The interest rates represent the weighted-average rates. The fair value of the Venture's first mortgages, after discounting the scheduled loan payments to maturity, is approximately $99,736,000 at March 31, 2006. However, the Venture is precluded from refinancing the first mortgage until January 2007. The Managing General Partner believes that it is not appropriate to use the Venture's incremental borrowing rate for the second mortgages, as there is currently no market in which the Venture could obtain similar financing. Therefore, the Managing General Partner considers estimation of fair value to be impracticable for this indebtedness.  The Managing General Partner does not believe that there have been any material changes in market risk exposure between the current year and the preceding year.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Venture’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Venture’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Venture’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Venture’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Venture’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.


(b)

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Venture’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Venture’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the Managing General Partner, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call". Additionally, the complaint alleges AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week.   In June 2005 the Court conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues, which allows the plaintiffs to provide notice of the collective action to all non-exempt maintenance workers from August 7, 2000 through the present.  Notices have been sent out to all current and former hourly maintenance workers. Although 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class the defendants will be challenging the eligibility and timeliness of some. Defendants will have the opportunity to move to decertify the collective action with briefing that commences in August.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California case has been stayed, while discovery in the Maryland case proceeds. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Similarly, the Managing General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Venture’s combined financial condition or results of operations.
