ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

         On June 28, 2000, Apartment Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO"), AIMCO Properties, L.P. ("AIMCO OP"), the operating partnership of
AIMCO, and the principals of Oxford Realty Financial Group, Inc. ("ORFG")
entered into definitive agreements pursuant to which AIMCO acquired, on
September 20, 2000, all of the stock and other interests held by officers and
directors in the entities which own and control the Oxford properties (as
described below), for $328 million.

         As part of such acquisition, AIMCO OP acquired:

         o        the entity which owns the managing general partner of Oxford
                  Tax Exempt Fund II Limited Partnership ("OTEF") and
                  approximately 40% of the non-managing general partner of OTEF;
                  and

         o        options to purchase, from the principals of ORFG, 32,580
                  Beneficial Assignee Interests in OTEF ("BACs") owned by them
                  and existing employee stock options that had been held by the
                  principals of ORFG to purchase from OTEF 652,125 BACs.

                  The options for 32,580 BACs were granted by the principals of
ORFG who were the sellers of the assets in the Oxford acquisition and, in
general, are exercisable at the price offered in any acquisition transaction (as
discussed below) or at a price equal to 90% of the fully diluted book value per
BAC as reported by OTEF for the last calendar quarter prior to the exercise of
the option, subject in both cases to possible upward adjustments if certain
events occur after the exercise of the option, but in no case will the exercise
price be less than the price the seller paid for the BACs. The 652,125 options
granted by OTEF under its option plan are exercisable at $23.88 per BAC and were
purchased for $8.00 per BAC, subject to possible upward adjustment if certain
events occur in the future.

         AIMCO OP now owns the managing general partner of OTEF, Oxford Tax
Exempt Fund II Corporation, and thereby controls the management of OTEF.
Effective as of the closing of the acquisition agreement, the board of directors
and executive officers of Oxford Tax Exempt Fund II Corporation are those set
forth on Annex I to AIMCO's Schedule 13D for OTEF, dated September 20, 2000,
which information is incorporated herein by reference.

         AIMCO has no current plans to change OTEF's current distribution
policy. AIMCO has agreed with the sellers of the assets in the Oxford
acquisition that if AIMCO enters into an acquisition transaction involving OTEF
before September 20, 2003, AIMCO will pay consideration in such acquisition
transaction of no less than 90% of the fully diluted book value per BAC as
reported by OTEF for the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of the
acquisition transaction. An acquisition transaction includes, but is not limited
to, a merger, reorganization or other business combinations, tenders and
exchange offers, purchases and the liquidation of OTEF.

         The Oxford properties are 167 apartment communities including 36,949
units, located in 18 states. The properties are owned by 166 separate
partnerships, subject to mortgage loans totaling $1.4 billion (Oxford's pro rata
share of the indebtedness is $555 million). AIMCO, through an affiliate,
previously managed 165 of the 167 Oxford properties pursuant to long-term
contracts and was previously a stockholder in certain of such entities.

         AIMCO paid $266 million in cash and $62 million in AIMCO OP partnership
common units valued at $45 per unit. In addition, transaction costs are
estimated to be $19 million.

         AIMCO OP borrowed $279 million to pay the cash portion of the purchase
price for the Oxford acquisition from Bank of America, N.A., Lehman Commercial
Paper Inc. and several other lenders, pursuant to a term loan with a total
availability of $302 million. The borrowers under the secured term loan are
AIMCO Properties, L.P., NHP Management Company, and AIMCO/Bethesda Holdings,
Inc., and all obligations thereunder are guaranteed by AIMCO and certain of its
subsidiaries. The annual interest rate under the term loan is based on either
LIBOR or a base rate which is the higher of Bank of America's reference rate or
0.5% over the federal funds rate, plus, in either case, an applicable margin.
The margin ranges between 4.0% and 5.00% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and
between 1.0% and 2.0% in the case of base rate loans, based upon the number of
months the loan is outstanding.

The term loan expires on July 31, 2000. In addition, the term loan limits AIMCO
from distributing more than 80% of its Funds From Operations (as defined) (or
such amounts as may be necessary for AIMCO to maintain its status as a REIT),
imposes minimum net worth requirements and provides financial covenants related
to certain of AIMCO's assets and obligations. NHP Management Company and
AIMCO/Bethesda Holdings, Inc. are subsidiaries of AIMCO.
