ITEM 1. SECURITY AND SUBJECT COMPANY.
The name of the subject company is Angeles Partners XII, a
California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and the address of the
principal executive offices of the Partnership is One Insignia Financial Plaza,
Greenville, South Carolina 29602. The title of the class of equity securities
to which this statement relates is the units of limited partnership interest
("Units") of the Partnership.
ITEM 2. TENDER OFFER OF THE BIDDER.
This statement relates to an offer by Broad River Properties,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), to purchase up
to 18,500 of the outstanding Units at a purchase price of $500 per Unit, net to
the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase dated April 14, 1998 (the "Offer
to Purchase") and related Assignment of Partnership Interest (which
collectively constitute the "Offer"). A Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
14D-1 with respect to the Offer has been filed by the Purchaser, Insignia
Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), Insignia Properties
Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("IPT") and Insignia Financial
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia") (collectively, the "Bidders").
The address of the Purchaser's principal executive offices is One
Insignia Financial Plaza, Greenville, South Carolina 29602.
ITEM 3. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a) The name and business address of the Partnership, which is the
person filing this statement, are set forth in Item 1 above.
(b)(1) Angeles Realty Corporation II, which is the managing general
partner of the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner"), is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Angeles Securitization Corporation ("ASC"), and IAP
GP Corporation ("IAP") owns all of the equity interests in ASC. IAP in turn is
a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of IPT. The other general partners of the
Partnership, Elliot Accommodation Trust and Elliot Family Partnership, are
prohibited by the Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement (the "Limited
Partnership Agreement") from participating in the activities of the
Partnership.
ASC acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Managing General
Partner (which is the general partner in ten other affiliated public limited
partnerships) in November 1992 from Angeles Real Estate Corporation, which in
turn was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angeles Corporation. At the time of such
acquisition, IAP and ASC were (and thus the Managing General Partner became)
wholly-owned subsidiaries of MAE GP Corporation ("MAE GP"). Effective March 7,
1998, MAE GP was merged with an into IPT, with IPT being the surviving entity
(the "MAE GP Merger"). As a result of the MAE GP Merger, IAP, ASC and the
Managing General Partner are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of IPT and the
Partnership is controlled by IPT. In connection with the MAE GP Merger,
effective February 17, 1998, Insignia contributed 1,769 Units owned by it and
its subsidiaries (representing all Units then owned by such entities) to IPLP
in exchange for additional units of partnership interest in IPLP. The Purchaser
is a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of IPLP, which is the operating
partnership of IPT. IPT is the sole general partner of IPLP (owning
approximately 66% of the total equity interests in IPLP), and Insignia, is the
sole limited partner of IPLP (owning
2
<PAGE>
approximately 34% of the total equity interests in IPLP). Insignia and its
affiliates also own approximately 68% of the outstanding common shares of IPT.
For more than the past three years, Insignia Residential Group, L.P.
("IRG") and Insignia Commercial Group, Inc. ("ICG"), which are affiliates of
Insignia and the Purchaser, have provided property management services to the
Partnership, and Insignia (directly or through affiliates) has performed asset
management, partnership administration and investor relations services for the
Partnership.
By reason of the relationships described in the three preceding
paragraphs, the Managing General Partner has conflicts of interest in
considering the Offer.
The Partnership paid IRG and ICG property management fees for
property management services in the amounts of approximately $1,029,000,
$1,033,000 and $1,032,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and has paid IRG and ICG property management fees equal to
$255,080 during the first three months of 1998. The Partnership reimbursed the
Managing General Partner and its affiliates (including Insignia) for expenses
incurred in connection with asset management and partnership administration
services performed by them for the Partnership for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 in the amounts of $431,000, $453,000 and $443,000
respectively, and has reimbursed them for such services in the amount of
$104,119 through March 31, 1998. The reimbursement amounts for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, include $70,000 and
$33,000, which were paid to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for
costs incurred in connection with construction oversight services. For the
period January 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its
properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the
current year's master policy. That agent assumed the financial obligations to
the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent. Insignia and the Managing General Partner believe
that the aggregate financial benefit derived by Insignia and its affiliates
from such arrangement was immaterial.
As described above, the Purchaser and the Managing General Partner
are affiliates of and controlled by IPT, which is controlled by Insignia. The
Managing General Partner has conflicts of interest with respect to the Offer,
including conflicts resulting from its affiliation with IPT and the Purchaser.
The Managing General Partner also would have a conflict of interest (i) as a
result of the fact that a sale or liquidation of the Partnership's assets would
result in a decrease or elimination of the fees paid to the Managing General
Partner and/or its affiliates and (ii) as a consequence of the Purchaser's
ownership of Units, because the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) may have incentives to seek to maximize the value of
its ownership of Units, which in turn may result in a conflict for the Managing
General Partner in attempting to reconcile the interests of the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) with the interests of
the other Limited Partners. In addition, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate
of the Managing General Partner) is making the Offer with a view to making a
profit. Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser
(which is an affiliate of the Managing General Partner) to purchase Units at a
low price and the desire of the Limited Partners to sell their Units at a high
price.
As described in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser (which is an
affiliate of the Managing General Partner) expects to pay for the Units it
purchases pursuant to the Offer with
3
<PAGE>
funds provided by IPLP as capital contributions. IPLP in turn intends to use
its cash on hand to make such contributions. See Section 12. It is possible,
however, that in connection with its future financing activities, IPT or IPLP
may cause or request the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner) to pledge the Units as collateral for loans, or otherwise
agree to terms which provide IPT, IPLP and the Purchaser with incentives to
generate substantial near-term cash flow from the Purchaser's investment in the
Units. This could be the case, for example, if a loan has a "balloon" maturity
after a relatively short time or bears a high or increasing interest rate. In
such a situation, the Managing General Partner may experience a conflict of
interest in seeking to reconcile the best interests of the Partnership with the
need of its affiliates for cash flow from the Partnership's activities.
If the Purchaser is successful in acquiring a significant number of
Units pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) will have the right to vote those Units and thereby
significantly influence all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership,
including decisions concerning liquidation, amendments to the Limited
Partnership Agreement and removal and replacement of the Managing General
Partner. This means that (i) non-tendering Limited Partners could be prevented
from taking action they desire but that IPT (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) opposes and (ii) IPT (which is an affiliate of the
Managing General Partner) may be able to take action desired by IPT but opposed
by the non-tendering Limited Partners.
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a
majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of
matters including: removal of the Managing General Partner or the other
non-managing general partners and in certain circumstances election of a new or
successor managing general partner or non-managing general partners;
dissolution of the Partnership; and most types of amendments to the Limited
Partnership Agreement. In general, IPLP and the Purchaser (which are affiliates
of the Managing General Partner) will vote the Units owned by them in whatever
manner they deem to be in IPT's best interests, which, because of their
relationship with the Managing General Partner, also may be in the interest of
the Managing General Partner, but may not be in the interest of other Limited
Partners. This could (i) prevent non-tendering Limited Partners from taking
action they desire but that IPT opposes and (ii) enable IPT to take action
desired by IPT but opposed by non-tendering Limited Partners.
To the best knowledge of the Managing General Partner, except as
described in this Schedule 14D-9, there are no other material agreements,
arrangements, understandings or any actual or potential conflicts of interest
between the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and their affiliates and
the Bidders, their executive officers, directors or affiliates.
ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION.
Because of the existing and potential future conflicts of interest
described in Item 3 above, the Partnership and the Managing General Partner are
remaining neutral and making no recommendation as to whether Limited Partners
should tender their Units in response to the Offer.

ITEM 5. PERSONS RETAINED, EMPLOYED OR TO BE COMPENSATED.
Neither the Partnership nor any person acting on its behalf has
employed, retained or compensated, or intends to employ, retain or compensate,
any person or class of person to make solicitations or recommendation to
Limited Partners on its behalf concerning the Offer.
ITEM 6. RECENT TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES.
(a) Except as described in Schedule I attached hereto, no
transactions in the Units have been effected during the past 60 days by the
Partnership or the Managing General Partner or, to the knowledge of the
Managing General Partner, by any of its current executive officers, directors
or affiliates.
(b) To the knowledge of the Partnership, neither the Managing
General Partner nor any of its current or former executive officers, directors
or affiliates intends to tender pursuant to the Offer any Units beneficially
owned by them.

Exhibit (a)
Angeles Partners XII
April 14, 1998
Dear Limited Partner:
Enclosed is the Schedule 14D-9 which was filed by Angeles Partners
XII (the "Partnership") with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
connection with an offer (the "Offer") by Broad River Properties, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), Insignia Properties,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), Insignia Properties Trust, a
Maryland real estate investment trust ("IPT"), and Insignia Financial Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Insignia," and together with IPLP, IPT and the
Purchaser, the "Bidders"), to purchase units of limited partnership interest
("Units") in the Partnership.
The Partnership's managing general partner (the "Managing General
Partner") is Angeles Realty Corporation II, which is an affiliate of the
Bidders. Due to the affiliation between the Managing General Partner of the
Partnership and the Bidders, the Managing General Partner is subject to certain
conflicts of interest in connection with the response to the Offer.
AS A RESULT OF THE EXISTING AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST,
NEITHER THE PARTNERSHIP NOR THE MANAGING GENERAL PARTNER EXPRESSES ANY OPINION
AS TO THE OFFER AND EACH IS REMAINING NEUTRAL AND MAKING NO RECOMMENDATION AS
TO WHETHER LIMITED PARTNERS SHOULD TENDER THEIR UNITS IN RESPONSE TO THE OFFER.
Limited Partners are advised to carefully read the enclosed Schedule
14D-9.
Angeles Partners XII
