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

(1) The principal balance is being amortized over 257 months with a balloon
payment due November 15, 2002.
The Partnership exercised interest rate buy-down options for each of the
mortgage notes payable reducing the stated rate from 8.76% to 7.6% in 1992, the
year these properties were refinanced. The fee for the interest rate reduction
amounted to approximately $2,433,000 and is being amortized as a loan discount
using the interest method over the life of the loans. The unamortized discount
is reflected as a reduction of the mortgage notes payable and increases the
effective rate of the debt to 8.76%.
The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the
respective apartment properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective
apartment properties. The notes cannot be prepaid prior to November 15, 1997;
thereafter, they require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity and
prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing indebtedness.
Average annual rental rates and occupancy for 1997 and 1996 for each property:
Average Annual Average Annual
Rental Rates Occupancy
1997 1996 1997 1996
Rocky Creek $ 6,755 $ 6,646 90% 86%
Carriage House 7,230 6,828 92% 97%

River Reach 7,693 7,421 97% 98%
Village Garden 7,400 6,937 95% 95%
The corporate General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Rocky
Creek Apartments to an increase in corporate and tenant referrals. The decrease
in occupancy at Carriage House Apartments is attributable to an overall softness
in apartment rentals and an increase in new apartment construction in the
Gastonia area. The decrease in occupancy at Foxfire/Barcelona Apartments is
attributable to tenants moving out of certain units damaged by a fire in April
1997 and the subsequent construction at the property (See "Part II Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" for more detailed
information). Rental rates were increased at all of the properties in 1997.
As noted under "Item 1., Description of Business", the real estate industry is
highly competitive. All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to
competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The
Corporate General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately
insured. The multi-family residential properties' lease terms are for one year
or less. No individual tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space.
Real estate taxes and effective rates in 1997 for each property were:

Nottingham Square 415 3.18%

Village Garden 39 8.97%
*Due to these properties having a fiscal year different than the real estate tax
year, tax expense does not agree to the 1997 billings.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
The Registrant is unaware of any pending outstanding litigation that is not of a
routine nature. The General Partner of the Registrant believes that all such
pending or outstanding litigation will be resolved without a material adverse
effect upon the business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
----------------------------------------------------
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1997, no matter was submitted to a vote
of unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNER MATTERS
----------------------------------------------------------
As of October 31, 1997, there was minimal trading of the Units in the secondary
market establishing a high and low value of $365 and $312, respectively, per
unit as quoted in the September/October 1997 edition of The Partnership
Spectrum. As of October 31, 1997, there were 3,069 holders of record owning an
aggregate of 42,324 Units of which Insignia and affiliates owned 11,471 units.
No public trading has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that
such a market will develop in the future. Distributions of the proceeds from the
sale of Marble Hills of approximately $1,000,000 were paid in the first quarter
of 1996. Distributions of approximately $983,000 were paid in September 1997.
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, refinancings, property sales and cash reserves. As of October 31,
1997, the Reserve Account was fully funded, however if it becomes necessary to
draw upon the reserves, distributions may also be restricted by the requirement
to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note) into the
Reserve Account as disclosed in "Note A" of the financial statements.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
----------------------------------------------------------
This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
items contained elsewhere in this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
The Partnership realized net income of approximately $395,000 for the year ended
October 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of approximately $61,000 for the
corresponding period of 1996. (See "Note C" of the financial statements for a
reconciliation of these amounts to the Partnership's federal taxable income
(loss). The increase in net income for the year ended October 31, 1997, is
primarily attributable to the net casualty gains, as discussed below, and rental
rate increases at all of the Partnership's investment properties.
Partially offsetting this increase in net income was an increase in operating
expenses due to an exterior painting project at the Carriage House Apartments,
exterior building improvements and painting at the River Reach Apartments, and
higher rental concessions at Nottingham Square in an effort to increase
occupancy. The net increase in operating expenses was offset by decreases in
operating expenses at Foxfire/Barcelona primarily due to the installation of
water saving devices in the units, which decrease water and sewer expenses, and
non-recurring exterior painting and gutter repairs which were completed in 1996.
Also offsetting the increase in net income was an increase in depreciation
expense due primarily to property improvements and replacements at Nottingham
Square.
During the year ended October 31, 1997, the Partnership recorded the following
casualty gains and losses. A casualty gain of approximately $240,000 resulted
from the insurance proceeds from hail and wind storm damage at Nottingham Square
Apartments that occurred in the second quarter of 1996. In November 1996, a
fire occurred at Carriage House Apartments which damaged one unit and caused
smoke damage to two additional units and the common area. The estimated costs to
repair the units exceeded the insurance proceeds received and thus resulted in a
casualty loss of approximately $8,000. In March 1997, a fire occurred at
Village Garden Apartments which destroyed one unit and caused smoke and water
damage to additional units. The estimated costs to repair the units exceeded
the insurance proceeds expected to be received and thus resulted in a casualty
loss of approximately $10,000. In April 1997, a fire occurred at
Foxfire/Barcelona Apartments which destroyed an entire building, consisting of
eight units. A casualty gain of approximately $139,000 resulted from the
expected insurance proceeds exceeding the basis of the units destroyed, plus the
total estimated non-capitalized costs to replace the assets. In May 1997, a
tornado caused damage to River Reach Apartments resulting in uprooted trees,
minor damage to the parking lot and roofs of two units. A casualty loss of
approximately $19,000 resulted. The combination of these casualty events
resulted in a casualty gain of approximately $342,000 for the year ended October
31, 1997.
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss
resulting from a fire which destroyed the interiors of three units at Nottingham
Square Apartments. Although the damage was covered by insurance, the damage
resulted in a loss of approximately $1,000. The loss resulted from gross
proceeds received of approximately $43,000, which were less than the basis of
the property plus expenses to replace the damaged interiors.
Included in operating expense is approximately $509,000 of major repairs and
maintenance comprised of exterior building improvements and painting,
construction oversight costs and major landscaping for the year ended October
31, 1997. For the year ended October 31, 1996, approximately $332,000 of major
repairs and maintenance comprised of gutter repairs, exterior building repairs
and painting, major landscaping and swimming pool repairs is included in
operating expense.
Management relies on the annual appraisals performed by outside appraisers to
assess the possible impairment of investment property values. There are three
recognized approaches or techniques available to the appraiser. When
applicable, these approaches are used to process the data considered significant
to each to arrive at separate value indications. In all instances the
experience of the appraiser, coupled with his objective judgment, plays a major
role in arriving at the conclusions of the indicated value from which the final
estimate of value is made. The three approaches commonly known are the cost
approach, the sales comparison approach, and the income approach. The cost
approach is often not considered to be reliable due to the lack of land sales
and the significant amount of depreciation and, therefore, is often not
presented. Upon receipt of the appraisals, any property which is stated on the
books of the Partnership above the estimated value given in the appraisal, is
written down to the estimated value provided by the appraiser. The appraiser
assumes a stabilized occupancy at the time of the appraisal and, therefore, any
impairment of value is considered to be permanent by the Partnership. For the
year ended October 31, 1997, no adjustments for impairment of value were
necessary.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expense. As part of this plan, the Corporate General Partner attempts to
protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in
expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.
However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of
rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions,
there is no guarantee that the Corporate General Partner will be able to sustain
such a plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
At October 31, 1997, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $2,632,000 compared to approximately $3,104,000 at October 31,
1996. For the year ended October 31, 1997, net cash decreased approximately
$472,000. Net cash provided by operating activities increased as a result of
increased rental income and decreased operating expenses, as discussed above.
The increase is also attributable to the timing of payments of accounts payable,
partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities. Net cash used in investing
activities increased primarily due to increased property improvements and
replacements at the investment properties and an increase in net deposits to
restricted escrows, and was offset by an increase in net insurance proceeds from
property damages slightly, as discussed above. Net cash used in financing
activities increased due to an increase in principal payments on mortgage notes
payable, which was offset by a decrease in distributions to partners for the
year ended October 31, 1997.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical
assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently
thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The
mortgage indebtedness of approximately $26,790,000, net of discount, is being
amortized over 257 months with balloon payments of approximately $23,008,000 due
on November 15, 2002, at which time the properties are expected to either be
refinanced or sold. Distributions of the proceeds from the sale of Marble Hills
of approximately $1,000,000 were paid in the first quarter of 1996.
Distributions of approximately $983,000 were paid in September 1997. Future
cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, refinancing, property sales and cash reserves. As of October 31,
1997, the Reserve Account was fully funded, however if it becomes necessary to
draw upon these reserves, distributions may also be restricted by the
requirement to deposit net operating income (as defined in the mortgage note)
into the Reserve Account as disclosed in "Note A" of the financial statements.
YEAR 2000
- - ---------
The Partnership is dependent upon the Corporate General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services. Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. The project is estimated to be completed not later than December
31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems.
The Corporate General Partner believes that with modifications to existing
software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose
significant operational problems for its computer systems. However, if such
modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.

SHELTER PROPERTIES VI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 1997
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization: Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State
of South Carolina pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership
filed August 3, 1983. The general partner responsible for management of the
Partnership's business is Shelter Realty VI Corporation, a South Carolina
corporation (the "Corporate General Partner" or "General Partner"). The only
other general partner of the Partnership, N. Barton Tuck, Jr. is effectively
prohibited by the Partnership's partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement") from participating in the management of the Partnership. The
Corporate General Partner is an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"). The directors and officers of the Corporate General Partner also
serve as officers of Insignia. The Partnership Agreement terminates December
31, 2023. The Partnership commenced operations on June 29, 1984, and completed
its acquisition of apartment properties on March 28, 1985. The Partnership
operates six apartment properties located in the south, midwest and west. At
October 31, 1997, affiliates of Insignia own 11,271 units of the Partnership.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allocation of Cash Distributions: Cash distributions by the Partnership are
allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions
of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement provides that net cash
from operations means revenue received less operating expenses paid, adjusted
for certain specified items which primarily include mortgage payments on debt,
property improvements and replacements not previously reserved, and the effects
of other adjustments to reserves. In the following notes to financial
statements, whenever "net cash from (used by) operations" is used, it has the
aforementioned meaning. The following is a reconciliation of the subtotal in
the accompanying statements of cash flows captioned net cash provided by
operating activities to net cash used by operations, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement. However, "net cash used by operations" should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's
operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

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

The Partnership exercised interest rate buy-down options for each of the
mortgage notes payable reducing the stated rate from 8.76% to 7.6%. The fee for
the interest rate reduction amounted to approximately $2,433,000 and is being
amortized as a loan discount using the interest method over the life of the
loans. The unamortized discount is reflected as a reduction of the mortgage
notes payable and increases the effective rate of the debt to 8.76%.
The mortgage notes payable are nonrecourse and are secured by pledge of the
respective apartment properties and by pledge of revenues from the respective
apartment properties. The notes cannot be prepaid prior to November 15, 1997.
Thereafter, the notes require prepayment penalties if repaid prior to maturity
and prohibit resale of the properties subject to existing indebtedness.
Scheduled principal payments of mortgage notes payable subsequent to October 31,
1997, are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE C - INCOME TAXES
The Partnership has received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that it
will be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements
of the Partnership. Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in

NOTE D - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES
The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Corporate General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
Partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to
affiliates for services and the reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. The following expenses were paid or
accrued to an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner during the year ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996:
1997 1996

expenses) 220 184
Included in reimbursements for services of affiliates is approximately $34,000
and $9,000 of reimbursements for construction oversight costs in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
For the period of November 1, 1995 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Corporate General Partner. An affiliate of the Corporate General
Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial
obligations from an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who
placed the master policy. The agent assumed the financial obligations to the
affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, who received payments on these
obligations from the agent. The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Corporate General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations was not significant.

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