                            CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

================================================================================
Transaction Valuation*:  $1,741,350                Amount of Filing Fee: $348.27
================================================================================

* For purposes of calculating  the fee only. This amount assumes the purchase of
305,500  depositary  unit  certificates   representing  assignments  of  limited
partnership interest ("Units") of the subject partnership for $5.70 per Unit. In
connection with the initial Schedule 14D-1 filed by the Bidders, a filing fee of
$336.05  was  submitted.  Accordingly,  an  additional  filing  fee of $12.22 is
payable  with this  amendment.  The  amount of the  filing  fee,  calculated  in
accordance with Section 14(g)(3) and Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  as amended,  equals  1/50th of one percent of the aggregate of the
cash offered by the bidders.

purchase up to 305,500  outstanding  depositary unit  certificates  representing
assignments of limited  partnership  interest  ("Units") of U.S. Realty Partners
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"),  at a purchase price of $5.50 per Unit,
net to the  seller in cash,  upon the terms and  subject to the  conditions  set
forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April 9, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase") and
the related  Letter of  Transmittal  (which,  together with any  supplements  or
amendments,  collectively  constitute the "Offer"), to (i) increase the per Unit
purchase  price to $5.70 per Unit,  net to the seller in cash and (ii) to extend
the Expiration  Date to May 20, 1999.  Terms not otherwise  defined herein shall

                         DEPOSITARY UNIT CERTIFICATES OF
                    U.S. REALTY PARTNERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         OFFER EXTENDED TO MAY 20, 1999


     AIMCO PROPERTIES,  L.P. has increased its offer to purchase depositary unit
certificates  representing  assignments  of limited  partnership  interest  (the
"Units") in U.S. Realty Partners  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  to
$5.70,  net to seller in cash.  Our price is HIGHER than the price being offered
by Cal Kan and its  affiliates,  Everest and  Madison  and,  unlike  Everest and
Madison,  we will not deduct any transfer fees from the Purchase Price. IF IT IS
LIQUIDITY YOU DESIRE,  OUR OFFER  PROVIDES YOU WITH THE GREATEST  PURCHASE PRICE
CURRENTLY BEING OFFERED.  Limited Partners who have already tendered their Units
to AIMCO will automatically  receive the benefit of the increased purchase price
and need not take any further action.

     Our offer has been  extended  and will now expire at 11:59  p.m.,  New York
City time on May 20, 1999 (unless extended by us).

     The general  partner of the  Partnership is our  affiliate.  As a result of
this affiliation, the Partnership has indicated in a Statement on Schedule 14D-9
(the "Schedule 14D-9") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it
is  remaining  neutral  and making no  recommendation  as to whether its limited
partners  should  tender their Units in response to our Offer.  The  Partnership
further  states,  however,  that if a limited partner desires to obtain cash for
its Units presently, it believes that those limited partners should tender their
Units for the greatest  purchase price.  Limited  Partners are urged to read our
Offer to Purchase and the related materials and the Schedule 14D-9 carefully and
in their entirety before deciding whether to tender their Units.

     You  should  be  aware,  however,  that,  as with any  rational  investment
decision, we are making our Offer with a view to making a profit. No independent
person has been  retained to evaluate or render any opinion  with respect to the
fairness  of  our  Offer,  and no  representation  is  made  by us or any of our
affiliates as to such fairness.

     IF YOU TENDERED YOUR UNITS IN THE CAL KAN OFFER,  YOU MAY STILL TENDER YOUR
UNITS TO US BY COMPLETING THE NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
PREVIOUSLY  FORWARDED TO YOU. THE NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL  MUST BE DELIVERED TO CAL
KAN (with a copy to our  Information  Agent) BY NO LATER THAN MAY 3,  1999,  THE
EXPIRATION DATE OF THE CAL KAN OFFER.
