                    Report of Independent Public Accountants



Pension Plan Committee
Apartment Investment and Management Company
401(k) Retirement Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of Apartment Investment and Management Company (formerly National Corporation
for Housing Partnerships Amended and Restated) 401(k) Retirement Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is
presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits
for each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements of the Apartment Investment and Management
Company 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") are presented on the accrual basis
of accounting.

INVESTMENTS

Investments other than participant loans are valued at fair value as determined
by reference to quoted market values. The fair value of participant loans is
estimated.

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 reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated October 31, 1989, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan was amended and
restated, effective January 1, 1995. The administrator believes that the Plan,
as amended and restated, continues to maintain its qualified status.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.

             (Formerly National Corporation for Housing Partnerships
                              Amended and Restated)
                             401(k) Retirement Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established for all eligible
employees of the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships (NHP). As a
result of the 1997 merger with AIMCO/NHP Acquisition Corp., NHP is now a wholly
owned subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIMCO).
Consequently, effective January 1, 1998, AIMCO assumed sponsorship of the Plan
and the Plan was renamed Apartment Investment and Management Company 401(k)
Retirement Plan.

Employees become eligible to participate when they have reached the age of 18
and have worked for the Company (AIMCO) for a six-month period. Participants
may elect to contribute to the Plan from 1% to 20% of their compensation on a
pretax basis, subject to certain statutory limitations. The Company, at its
discretion, may match 50% of the participants' contribution, up to 6% of
compensation deferral.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions,
allocations of the Company's contributions, and Plan earnings. The benefit to
which a participant is entitled is the account balance at the time of
distribution.

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions. The
Company's matching contributions are fully vested after three years of service.
Upon withdrawal, the nonvested portion of a participant's account will be used
by the Company to reduce the next employer contribution or pay expenses of the
Plan. During 1998 and 1997, forfeited balances of terminated participants'
nonvested accounts were $187,413 and $360,105, respectively.

Participants may borrow funds from their own account. Loans are permitted in
amounts not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding
loan balance for the preceding year or 50% of the value of the vested interest
in the participant's account. Only one loan is permitted during any twelve month
period.



                                                                               7

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the
Plan, each participant will become fully vested and will receive a total
distribution of their account.

3. INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are held in trust by Fidelity Management Trust, the
Trustee of the Plan. The Plan's investments in the various funds (including
investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in
fair value as presented in the following table.

4. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps
in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The first
phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function
properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or
modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for
the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates substantially
completing this phase of the project by Third Quarter 1999. Costs associated
with modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be significant and
will be paid by the Plan Sponsor.



                                                                               9

4. YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

For the second phase of the project, Plan management established formal
communications with its third party service providers to determine that they
have developed plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate to
the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have indicated that
they will be year 2000 compliant during 1999. If modification of data processing
systems of either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not
completed timely, the year 2000 problem could have a material impact on the
operations of the Plan. Plan management has not developed a contingency plan,
because they are confident that all systems will be year 2000 ready.

5. PLAN MERGERS

On April 1, 1998, AIMCO merged its plan, the Property Asset Management Employee
Savings Plan, into the AIMCO 401(k) Retirement Plan and the assets and loans,
totaling approximately $2 million, were transferred into the Plan on August 2,
1998. Pursuant to a 1997 merger agreement between Ambassador Apartments, L.P.
and AIMCO, the Ambassador Retirement Plan was merged into the AIMCO 401(k) Plan
and the assets and loans of the Ambassador Plan, totaling approximately $.5
million, were transferred into the AIMCO 401(k) Plan on August 4, 1998.
Subsequent to the 1998 merger of AIMCO with Insignia, assets and loans totaling
approximately $19 million were transferred from the Insignia Retirement Plan to
the AIMCO 401(k) Retirement Plan on November 30, 1998.
