                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial  statements  of  Angeles
Opportunity  Properties,  Ltd. (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  In the  opinion of Angeles  Realty  Corporation  II (the
"General  Partner"),  all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating
results for the three and nine month  periods  ended  September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending  December 31, 2000. For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include its 99% limited
partnership  interests in New Lake Meadows LP and Lakewood AOPL Ltd. The general
partner  of  these  consolidated   partnerships  is  the  General  Partner.  The
Partnership  may  remove  the  general  partner  of  both  of  these  99%  owned
partnerships; therefore, the partnerships are controlled and consolidated by the
Partnership. All significant interpartnership balances have been eliminated.

Note B - Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment  Investment and Management Company  ("AIMCO"),  a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving  corporation
(the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the General Partner.  The General Partner does not believe that this transaction
has had or will have a material  effect on the  affairs  and  operations  of the
Partnership.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

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

The following transactions with the General Partner and its affiliates were paid
or accrued during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                                              2000       1999
                                                              (in thousands)
   Property management fees (included in
     operating expenses)                                      $ 93       $ 94
   Reimbursement for services of affiliates
     (included in general and administrative expenses
     and investment properties)                                 69         40
   Due to affiliates (included in other liabilities)             7         --

During the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  affiliates  of the
General  Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from both of the
Partnership's  properties  as  compensation  for providing  property  management
services.  The  Partnership  paid to such affiliates  approximately  $93,000 and
$94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

An affiliate  of the General  Partner  received  reimbursements  of  accountable
administrative  expense  amounting to approximately  $69,000 and $40,000 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Approximately
$7,000 of which was accrued and is included in other  liabilities  at  September
30, 2000.

In addition to its  indirect  ownership of the general  partner  interest in the
Partnership,  AIMCO and its affiliates  currently own 5,472 limited  partnership
units in the Partnership  representing 44.04% of the outstanding units. 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 make one or more
additional offers to acquire  additional  limited  partnership  interests in the
Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership  of
AIMCO. Under the Partnership  Agreement,  unitholders  holding a majority of the
Units are  entitled to take action with  respect to a variety of matters,  which
would  include  without   limitation,   voting  on  certain  amendments  to  the
Partnership  Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner.  As a result of
its  ownership  of 44.04% of the  outstanding  units,  AIMCO is in a position to
significantly  influence all voting  decisions  with respect to the  Registrant.
When voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired
in a manner  favorable to the interest of the General  Partner  because of their
affiliation with the General Partner.

Note D - Distributions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  distributions of approximately
$898,000  (approximately  $889,000 to the limited partners or $71.55 per limited
partnership  unit)  were paid to the  partners  from cash  from  operations.  In
conjunction  with the  transfer of funds from  certain  majority-owned  sub-tier
limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $9,000 was distributed to
the general partner of the majority-owned sub-tier limited partnerships.  During
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a distribution  of $500,000  ($495,000
to the limited partners or $39.84 per limited  partnership unit) was paid to the
partners from  operations.  Subsequent to September  30, 2000,  the  Partnership
declared  and  paid a  distribution  of  approximately  $123,000  (approximately
$122,000  paid to the limited  partners or $9.82 per limited  partnership  unit)
from operations.

Note E - Segment Reporting

Description  of the types of products  and  services  from which the  reportable
segment  derives its  revenues:  The  Partnership  has one  reportable  segment:
residential properties.  The Partnership's residential property segment consists
of two  apartment  complexes  in the  state  of  Texas.  The  Partnership  rents
apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve months or less.

Measurement  of segment profit or loss: The  Partnership  evaluates  performance
based on segment profit (loss) before  depreciation.  The accounting policies of
the reportable  segment are the same as those of the Partnership as described in
the  Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1999.

Factors management used to identify the enterprise's  reportable  segments:  The
Partnership's  reportable  segment consists of investment  properties that offer
similar  products and services.  Although each of the  investment  properties is
managed  separately,  they have been aggregated into one segment as they provide
services with similar types of products and customers.

Segment  information  for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30,
2000 and  1999,  is shown in the  tables  below.  The  "Other"  column  includes
Partnership administration related items and income and expense not allocated to
the reportable segments.

Note F - 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. 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  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging the acquisition of interests in certain general partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units; the management of partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the  Insignia  Merger.  The  plaintiffs  seek
monetary damages and equitable  relief,  including  judicial  dissolution of the
Partnership.  On June 25,  1998,  the  General  Partner  filed a motion  seeking
dismissal of the action.  In lieu of  responding to the motion,  the  plaintiffs
have filed an amended  complaint.  The General  Partner  filed  demurrers to the
amended complaint which were heard February 1999.

Pending the ruling on such  demurrers,  settlement  negotiations  commenced.  On
November 2, 1999,  the parties  executed and filed a Stipulation  of Settlement,
settling claims,  subject to final court approval,  on behalf of the Partnership
and all limited  partners  who owned  units as of November 3, 1999.  Preliminary
approval of the settlement  was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court,  at
which time the Court set a final approval  hearing for December 10, 1999.  Prior
to the December 10, 1999 hearing,  the Court received various  objections to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement.  On
December  14,  1999,  the General  Partner  and its  affiliates  terminated  the
proposed settlement.  In February 2000, counsel for some of the named plaintiffs
filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who negotiated
the settlement.  On June 27, 2000, the Court entered an order disqualifying them
from the case.  The Court is considering  applications  for lead counsel and has
currently  scheduled a hearing on the matter for November 20, 2000.  The General
Partner  does not  anticipate  that  costs  associated  with  this  case will be
material to the Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The  matters  discussed  in this Form  10-QSB  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions,   competitive  and  regulatory   matters,   etc.)  detailed  in  the
disclosures  contained  in this  Form  10-QSB  and the  other  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission made by the  Partnership  from time to time.
The  discussions  of the  Partnership's  business  and  results  of  operations,
including  forward-looking  statements pertaining to such matters, does not take
into  account  the  effects of any  changes to the  Partnership's  business  and
results of operation.  Accordingly,  actual results could differ materially from
those  projected in the  forward-looking  statements  as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.

The Partnership's  investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The
following table sets forth the average  occupancy for each of the properties for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:

                                                Average Occupancy

      Property                                  2000          1999

      Lake Meadows Apartments                    98%          96%
         Garland, Texas
      Lakewood Apartments                        92%          94%
         Tomball, Texas

Results of Operations

The  Partnership  had net income of  approximately  $222,000 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to net income of  approximately  $313,000
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999. The Partnership had net income of
approximately $88,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared
to net income of approximately $104,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999.  The decrease in net income for the three and nine months ended  September
30,  2000  was due to an  increase  in total  expenses,  offset  slightly  by an
increase  in total  revenues.  Total  revenues  increased  due to an increase in
average  annual rental rates at both  properties and an increase in occupancy at
Lake  Meadows  Apartments,  offset  by  a  decrease  in  occupancy  at  Lakewood
Apartments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, total expenses increased
due to increases in general and  administrative,  depreciation  and property tax
expense.  Depreciation  increased due to an increase in  depreciable  assets put
into  service over the past twelve  months at both  investment  properties.  The
increase in property tax expense  during the third  quarter of 2000 is due to an
increase in the real estate taxes at Lake Meadows Apartments.  In addition,  for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  operating  expenses  increased due to
increases in administrative  salaries,  commissions and bonuses, and advertising
expenses at both investment properties.

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 due to an increase in the cost of services  included in
the  management  reimbursements  to the  General  Partner as  allowed  under the
Partnership  Agreement,  partially  offset by reduced  legal fees.  In addition,
costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and
regulatory  agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership  Agreement
are also included.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the General  Partner
monitors the rental market  environment of its  investment  properties to assess
the feasibility of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing occupancy levels
and protecting the 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, 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 General Partner will
be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  September  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  had cash and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $289,000 compared to approximately $785,000 for the corresponding
period in 1999. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was  approximately
$596,000  from the year ended  December  31, 1999,  and is due to  approximately
$927,000  and  $147,000  of cash used in  financing  and  investing  activities,
respectively,  partially  offset by  approximately  $478,000 of cash provided by
operating  activities.  Cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of
distributions  to the partners  and, to a lesser  extent,  payments of principal
made on the mortgage encumbering Lake Meadows Apartments. Cash used in investing
activities consisted primarily of property improvements and replacements and, to
a lesser extent,  net deposits to restricted  escrows maintained by the mortgage
lenders.  The Partnership  invests its working capital  reserves in money market
accounts.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the  properties  to  adequately  maintain the physical
assets and other  operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal,
state,  and local legal and regulatory  requirements.  Capital  improvements for
each of the Partnership's properties are detailed below.

Lake Meadows Apartments

Approximately  $80,000 has been budgeted for capital  improvements  for the year
2000 at Lake  Meadows  Apartments  consisting  primarily  of  carpet  and  vinyl
replacement,   interior   decorations,   parking  lot   improvements,   plumbing
enhancements and structural improvements. During the nine months ended September
30, 2000,  the  Partnership  completed  approximately  $52,000 of such  budgeted
capital improvements at Lake Meadows Apartments,  consisting primarily of carpet
and vinyl replacement,  plumbing  enhancements,  and structural upgrades.  These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow and replacement reserves.

Lakewood Apartments

Approximately  $79,000 has been budgeted for capital  improvements  for the year
2000 at Lakewood Apartments consisting primarily of carpet and tile replacement,
air  conditioning  unit   replacement,   structural   upgrades,   and  appliance
replacements.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, the Partnership
completed  approximately  $59,000 of such budgeted  capital  improvements at the
property,  consisting  primarily  of  carpet  and tile  replacements,  appliance
replacements,  air conditioning unit replacements,  and office equipment.  These
improvements were funded from operating cash flow and replacement reserves.

The additional capital  expenditures will be incurred only to the extent of cash
available from  operations and from the  Partnership's  reserves.  To the extent
that  such  budgeted  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  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs  (exclusive  of capital  improvements)  of the  Partnership.  The mortgage
indebtedness is approximately  $5,378,000,  net of discount. Of this, $3,750,000
is interest only and  $1,628,000  is being  amortized  over 343 months.  In both
instances,  balloon  payments  are due at the  maturity  dates  of  October  and
November 2003. The General  Partner will attempt to refinance such  indebtedness
and/or sell the  properties  prior to such  maturity  dates.  If the  properties
cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient  amount, the Partnership will risk
losing such properties through foreclosure.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  distributions of approximately
$898,000  (approximately  $889,000 to the limited partners or $71.55 per limited
partnership  unit)  were paid to the  partners  from cash  from  operations.  In
conjunction  with the  transfer of funds from  certain  majority-owned  sub-tier
limited partnerships to the Partnership, approximately $9,000 was distributed to
the general partner of the majority-owned sub-tier limited partnerships.  During
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, a distribution  of $500,000  ($495,000
to the limited partners or $39.84 per limited  partnership unit) was paid to the
partners from  operations.  Subsequent to September  30, 2000,  the  Partnership
declared  and  paid a  distribution  of  approximately  $123,000  (approximately
$122,000  paid to the limited  partners or $9.82 per limited  partnership  unit)
from  operations.  The  Partnership's  distribution  policy  is  reviewed  on  a
semi-annual  basis.  Future cash  distributions will depend on the levels of net
cash generated  from  operations,  the  availability  of cash reserves,  and the
timing of debt maturities,  refinancings, and/or property sales. There can be no
assurance,  however,  that the Partnership  will generate  sufficient funds from
operations after required capital  expenditures to permit further  distributions
to its partners for the  remainder of 2000 or subsequent  periods.  In addition,
the  Partnership is restricted  from making  distributions  if the amount in the
reserve account for Lake Meadows Apartments is less than $400 per apartment unit
or $38,400. The reserve account is currently fully funded.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEDINGS

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. 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  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging the acquisition of interests in certain general partner
entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were,
at one  time,  affiliates  of  Insignia;  past  tender  offers  by the  Insignia
affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units; the management of partnerships
by the  Insignia  affiliates;  and the  Insignia  Merger.  The  plaintiffs  seek
monetary damages and equitable  relief,  including  judicial  dissolution of the
Partnership.  On June 25,  1998,  the  General  Partner  filed a motion  seeking
dismissal of the action.  In lieu of  responding to the motion,  the  plaintiffs
have filed an amended  complaint.  The General  Partner  filed  demurrers to the
amended complaint which were heard February 1999.

Pending the ruling on such  demurrers,  settlement  negotiations  commenced.  On
November 2, 1999,  the parties  executed and filed a Stipulation  of Settlement,
