PART I


Item 1.

Description of Business


Angeles Opportunity Properties, Ltd. (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a publicly held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate of Agreement of Limited Partnership (hereinafter referred to as the "Partnership Agreement") dated June 29, 1984, as amended.  The Partnership's general partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II, (the "General Partner"), a California corporation. The General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2035 unless terminated prior to such date.


The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment. In 1988 and 1989, during its acquisition phase, the Partnership acquired one apartment complex, three warehouses, and a 70% interest in a joint venture project which ultimately acquired an apartment complex. In 1992, the Partnership acquired the remaining 30% interest of the joint venture. The Partnership continues to own and operate one apartment property. See "Item 2. Description of Property".


The Partnership, through its public offering of Limited Partnership units, sold 12,425 units aggregating $12,425,000.  The General Partner contributed capital in the amount of $1,000 for a 1% interest in the Partnership.  Since its initial offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are the limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions. The General Partner of the Partnership intends to maximize the operating results and, ultimately, the net realizable value of the Partnership's property in order to achieve the best possible return for the investors. Such results may best be achieved by holding and operating the property or through a property sale or exchange, refinancing, debt restructuring or relinquishment of the asset. The Partnership evaluates its holding periodically to determine the most appropriate strategy for the asset.


The Partnership has no employees. Property management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents retained by the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner has been providing such property management services.






Risk Factors


The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive.  There are other residential properties within the market area of the Partnership's property. The number and quality of competitive properties, including those which may be managed by an affiliate of the General Partner, in such market area could have a material effect on the rental market for the apartments at the Partnership's property and the rents that may be charged for such apartments. While the General Partner and its affiliates own and/or control a significant number of apartment units in the United States, such units represent an insignificant percentage of total apartment units in the United States and competition for apartments is local.


Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership's incurrence of unanticipated expenses.  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped.  These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership's property, or restrict renovations of the property.  Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the General Partner believes that the Partnership’s property is substantially in compliance with the present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA.


Both the income and expenses of operating the property owned by the Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as changes in the supply and demand for similar properties resulting from various market conditions, increases/decreases in unemployment or population shifts, changes in the availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning laws, or changes in patterns or needs of users.  In addition, there are risks inherent in owning and operating residential properties because such properties are susceptible to the impact of economic and other conditions outside of the control of the Partnership.


From time to time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, and the United States Department of Homeland Security issue alerts regarding potential terrorist threats involving apartment buildings. Threats of future terrorist attacks, such as those announced by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, could have a negative effect on rent and occupancy levels at the Partnership’s property. The effect that future terrorist activities or threats of such activities could have on the Partnership’s operations is uncertain and unpredictable. If the Partnership were to incur a loss at the property as a result of an act of terrorism, the Partnership could lose all or a portion of the capital invested in the property, as well as the future revenue from the property.


There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the property owned by the Partnership.


The Partnership monitors its property for evidence of pollutants, toxins and other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos.  In certain cases environmental testing has been performed which resulted in no material adverse conditions or liabilities.  In no case has the Partnership received notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up site.





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 General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Lakewood Apartments to increased marketing and resident retention efforts.


As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. The property is subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The General Partner believes that the property is adequately insured. The residential property is an apartment complex which leases its units for lease terms of one year or less. No tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. The property is in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Capital Improvements


Lakewood Apartments


During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership completed approximately $330,000 of capital improvements at Lakewood Apartments, consisting primarily of electrical breakers, recreational facility improvements, interior decoration, glass replacement, kitchen and bath counter resurfacing, major landscaping, office computers and appliance, air conditioning unit, and floor covering replacements.  These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from an affiliate of the General Partner.  The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property.  While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.


Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, or from Partnership reserves.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.


Item 3.

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. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector ("Objector") filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.






On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”.  The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005.  With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings.  The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged.  The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction.  Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006. On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders. On December 14, 2006, Objector filed his Appellant’s Brief.  The Partnership and its affiliates, as well as counsel of the Settlement Class, have not yet filed their briefs in response.


The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the 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.  Approximately 1,049 individuals opted in to the class. The defendants moved to decertify the collective action on both issues and that issue is now fully briefed.  The defendants anticipate that the Court will soon set oral argument on the defendants’ decertification motion.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, in September 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and in November 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California and Maryland cases have been stayed pending the outcome of the decertification motion in the District of Columbia case.  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 General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


Item 4.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders


The unit holders of the Partnership did not vote on any matters through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.





PART II


Item 5.

Market for the Partnership's Equity and Related Partner Matters


The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, offered and sold 12,425 limited partnership units (the "Units") during its offering period through June 25, 1988.  As of December 31, 2006, there are 12,425 Units issued and outstanding held by 878 Limited Partners of record. Affiliates of the General Partner owned 6,426 units or 51.72% at December 31, 2006. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.


No distributions were made during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations and the timing of debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the significant amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner at December 31, 2006, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2007 or subsequent periods. See “Item 2. Description of Property – Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the property.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 6,426 Units in the Partnership representing 51.72% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2006. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 51.72% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.





Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


This item should be read with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.


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


Results of Operations


The Partnership's net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $313,000 compared to net loss of approximately $407,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net loss decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses.  Total revenues increased due to an increase in rental income and other income. Rental income increased due to an increase in occupancy and the average rental rate and a decrease in bad debt expense. Other income increased primarily due to an increase in tenant utility reimbursements.


Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 due to increases in operating, depreciation, and interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in property tax expense.  Operating expense increased due to increases in advertising, insurance, and property management fees at Lakewood Apartments. Advertising expense increased due to increases in web advertising and leasing promotions.  Insurance expense increased due to an increase in the hazard insurance premium. Property management fees increased at Lakewood Apartments due to an increase in rental income. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in interest on advances from an affiliate of the General Partner as a result of higher average balances outstanding and an increase in the interest rate charged on such advances. Depreciation expense increased due to capital improvements placed in service during the past twelve months, which are now being depreciated. Property tax expense decreased due to a successful appeal of the assessed value for a prior year and the resulting adjustment to the current year assessed value and property tax rate.


Included in general and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2006, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $87,000 compared to approximately $42,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $45,000 is due to approximately $375,000 and $142,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $472,000 of cash used in investing activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances received from an affiliate of the General Partner partially offset by principal payments on the mortgage encumbering the investment property. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements.  The Partnership 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 property to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The 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 Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property.  While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2007.  Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.  Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, advances from an affiliate of the General Partner, or from Partnership reserves.  To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.


The Partnership’s assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Lakewood Apartments of approximately $4,607,000 matures in January 2022, at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized.


No distributions were made during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations and the timing of the debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancing. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the significant amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner at December 31, 2006, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital expenditures, to permit any distributions to its partners in 2007 or subsequent periods.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 6,426 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 51.72% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2006. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 51.72% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the consolidated financial statements in "Item 7. Financial Statements". The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership’s operating results and consolidated financial condition. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership’s accounting policies in many areas.  The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.


Impairment of Long-Lived Asset


Investment property is 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 the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s investment property.  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 Partnership’s asset.


Revenue Recognition


The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership 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 Partnership 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.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 consolidated financial position of Angeles Opportunity Properties, Ltd. at December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


December 31, 2006



Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization: Angeles Opportunity Properties, Ltd. (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a California limited partnership organized in June 1984 to operate and hold residential and commercial real estate properties. The Partnership's general partner is Angeles Realty Corporation II ("ARC II" or the "General Partner"), which is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2035, unless terminated prior to such date. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership operates one residential property located in Texas.  


Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include its 99% limited partnership interest in Lakewood AOPL Ltd. The general partner of the consolidated partnership may be removed by the Partnership, therefore, the partnership is controlled and consolidated by the Partnership. All significant interentity balances have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.


Allocations to Partners:


Allocations of Profits, Gains and Losses - In accordance with the Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"), any gain from the sale or other disposition of Partnership assets will be allocated first to the General Partner to the extent of the amount of any Incentive Interest (as defined below) to which the General Partner is entitled.  Any gain remaining after said allocation will be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their interests in the Partnership; provided that the gain shall first be allocated to Partners with negative account balances, in proportion to such balances, in an amount equal to the sum of such negative capital account balances.  The Partnership will allocate other profits and losses 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.


Distributions - Except as discussed below, the Partnership will allocate distributions 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.


Upon the sale or other disposition, or refinancing, of any asset of the Partnership, the Distributable Net Proceeds shall be distributed as follows: (i) First, to the Partners in proportion to their interests until the Limited Partners have received proceeds equal to their Original Capital Investment applicable to the property; (ii) Second, to the Partners until the Limited Partners have received distributions from all sources equal to their 6% Cumulative Distribution, (iii) Third, to the General Partner until it has received its cumulative distributions in an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate disposition prices of all real properties, mortgages or other investments sold (Initial Incentive Interest); (iv) Fourth, to the Partners until the Limited Partners have received distributions equal to their 4% (not compounded) Cumulative Distribution, with certain Limited Partners receiving priority distributions ranging from 2% to 6% per annum (not compounded); and (v) Fifth, thereafter, 76% to the Limited Partners in proportion to their interests and 24% to the General Partner (Final Incentive Interest).


Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the investment property and related personal property.  For Federal income tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery method is used for real property over 19 years for additions after May 8, 1985 and before 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 over 27½ years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.  


Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances include approximately $72,000 at December 31, 2006 that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.


Investment Property:  Investment property consists of one apartment complex and is stated at cost.  The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components.  Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.”  Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250.  Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level. The Partnership did not capitalize any costs related to interest, property taxes or operating costs during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset.  Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.


In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.  No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005.


Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $199,000, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $49,000, are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The loan costs are amortized over the term of the related loan agreement. Amortization expense was approximately $10,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $10,000 for the years 2007 through 2011.


Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases.  Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses.









Security Deposits:  The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease.  The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.


Leases:  The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership 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 Partnership 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.


Segment Reporting:  SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.


Advertising Costs:  Advertising costs of approximately $87,000 and $57,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are charged to expense as incurred and are included in operating expenses.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments:  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 amounts of its financial instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair values due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long-term debt by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, fully amortizing long-term debt. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt, at the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate, approximates its carrying balance.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements:  In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (“FASB”) 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 Partnership adopted SFAS 154 effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS no. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Partnership has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

Note D – Transactions with Affiliated Parties


The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.


Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership’s property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $93,000 and $77,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $83,000 and $187,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $30,000 and $130,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2006, approximately $130,000 in reimbursements was due to the General Partner and is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.


Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $540,000 and $934,000, respectively, to fund capital improvements and operating expenses at the investment property. Interest on advances is charged at the prime rate plus 2% or 10.25% at December 31, 2006. Interest of approximately $151,000 and $33,000 was charged during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2006, the Partnership owed approximately $1,658,000 of principal and accrued interest, which is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  Subsequent to December 31, 2006, an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $117,000 to fund real estate taxes and operating expenses at the investment property.


The Partnership insures its property 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 Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $44,000 and $27,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 6,426 limited partnership units (the “Units”) in the Partnership representing 51.72% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2006. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 51.72% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Note F – Contingencies


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. (the “Nuanes action”) in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purported to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) that are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. (“Insignia”) and entities that were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. In addition, during the third quarter of 2001, a complaint captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group (the “Heller action”) was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The Heller action was brought as a purported derivative action, and asserted claims for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, conversion, unjust enrichment, and judicial dissolution. On January 28, 2002, the trial court granted defendants motion to strike the complaint.  Plaintiffs took an appeal from this order.


On January 8, 2003, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement in proposed settlement of the Nuanes action and the Heller action. On June 13, 2003, the court granted final approval of the settlement and entered judgment in both the Nuanes and Heller actions. On August 12, 2003, an objector (“Objector”) filed an appeal (the “Appeal”) seeking to vacate and/or reverse the order approving the settlement and entering judgment thereto. On May 4, 2004, the Objector filed a second appeal challenging the court’s use of a referee and its order requiring Objector to pay those fees.


On March 21, 2005, the Court of Appeals issued opinions in both pending appeals.  With regard to the settlement and judgment entered thereto, the Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s order and remanded to the trial court for further findings on the basis that the “state of the record is insufficient to permit meaningful appellate review”.  The matter was transferred back to the trial court on June 21, 2005.  With regard to the second appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the order requiring the Objector to pay referee fees. With respect to the related Heller appeal, on July 28, 2005, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s order striking the first amended complaint.


On August 18, 2005, Objector and his counsel filed a motion to disqualify the trial court based on a peremptory challenge and filed a motion to disqualify for cause on October 17, 2005, both of which were ultimately denied and/or struck by the trial court.  On or about October 13, 2005 Objector filed a motion to intervene and on or about October 19, 2005 filed both a motion to take discovery relating to the adequacy of plaintiffs as derivative representatives and a motion to dissolve the anti-suit injunction in connection with settlement.  On November 14, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Motion For Further Findings pursuant to the remand ordered by the Court of Appeals. Defendants joined in that motion.  On February 3, 2006, the Court held a hearing on the various matters pending before it and ordered additional briefing from the parties and Objector. On June 30, 2006, the trial court entered an order confirming its approval of the class action settlement and entering judgment thereto after the Court of Appeals had remanded the matter for further findings.  The substantive terms of the settlement agreement remain unchanged.  The trial court also entered supplemental orders on July 1, 2006, denying Objector’s Motion to File a Complaint in Intervention, Objector’s Motion for Leave of Discovery and Objector’s Motion to Dissolve the Anti-Suit Injunction.  Notice of Entry of Judgment was served on July 10, 2006. On August 31, 2006, the Objector filed a Notice of Appeal to the Court’s June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2006 orders. On December 14, 2006, Objector filed his Appellant’s Brief.  The Partnership and its affiliates, as well as counsel of the Settlement Class, have not yet filed their briefs in response.


The General Partner does not anticipate that any costs to the Partnership, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership’s overall operations.


AIMCO Properties L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the 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.  Approximately 1,049 individuals opted in to the class. The defendants moved to decertify the collective action on both issues and that issue is now fully briefed.  The defendants anticipate that the Court will soon set oral argument on the defendants’ decertification motion.  Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, in September 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and in November 2005 in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court.  The California and Maryland cases have been stayed pending the outcome of the decertification motion in the District of Columbia case.  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 General Partner does not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property 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, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.


Mold


The Partnership 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 Partnership 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 General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may have on residents.  To date, the Partnership 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 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 Partnership’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

No director or officer of the General Partner owns any Units.


Item 12.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence


The Partnership has no employees and depends on the General Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for certain payments to affiliates for services and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.


Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $93,000 and $77,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations included in “Item 7. Financial Statements”.


Affiliates of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $83,000 and $187,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment property.  The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $30,000 and $130,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2006, approximately $130,000 in reimbursements was due to the General Partner and is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 7. Financial Statements”.


Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced the Partnership approximately $540,000 and $934,000, respectively, to fund capital improvements and operating expenses at the investment property. Interest on advances is charged at the prime rate plus 2% or 10.25% at December 31, 2006. Interest of approximately $151,000 and $33,000 was charged during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. At December 31, 2006, the Partnership owed approximately $1,658,000 of principal and accrued interest, which is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included in “Item 7. Financial Statements”. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $117,000 to fund real estate taxes and operating expenses at the investment property.


The Partnership insures its property 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 Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $44,000 and $27,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.


In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 6,426 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 51.72% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2006. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unit holders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 51.72% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.


Neither of the General Partner's directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the General Partner.
