                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


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

We have audited the accompanying statements 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 (Plan) as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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, 1999 and 1998 and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999 is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements but is 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. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1999

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 participant loans are valued at their
outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

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, 1999. The Plan administrator believes that the
Plan, as amended and restated, continues to operate in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan continues
to be qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.

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.

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").



                                       6
<PAGE>   7


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 1999 and 1998, forfeited balances of terminated participants'
nonvested accounts were $136,230 and $187,413, 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.

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.
