FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Annual Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of redevelopments, the Partnership’s future financial performance, including the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy and rent levels, and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s property and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; insurance risk; development risks; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of this Annual Report and the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized on November 2, 1983 as a New York limited partnership pursuant to the Limited Partnership Laws of the State of New York. The general partner of the Partnership is DBL Properties Corporation ("DBL" or the "General Partner"), an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2032, unless terminated prior to such date.

The Partnership's primary business is to operate and hold existing real estate properties for investment. The Partnership acquired interests in five properties during 1984 and 1985. The Partnership continues to own and operate one residential property, Presidential House Apartments.

Commencing in February 1984 pursuant to the Prospectus, the Partnership offered 20,000 Limited Partnership Units (the "Units"). A total of 37,273 Units were sold to the public at $500 per Unit aggregating to approximately $18,637,000. In addition, the General Partner contributed $1,000 for its 1% interest in the Partnership. The offering closed on October 10, 1984. No Limited Partner has made any additional capital contribution after that date. The Limited Partners of the Partnership share in the benefits of ownership of the Partnership's real estate property investment according to the number of Units held.

The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are provided by the General Partner and by agents retained by the General Partner. An affiliate of the General Partner has been providing such property management services.

1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Partnership’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

The Partnership’s existing and future debt financing could render it unable to operate, result in foreclosure on its property, prevent it from making distributions on its equity or otherwise adversely affect its liquidity.

The Partnership is subject to the risk that its cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If the Partnership fails to make required payments of principal and interest on secured debt, its lender could foreclose on the property securing such debt, which would result in loss of income and asset value to the Partnership. Payments of principal and interest may leave the Partnership with insufficient cash resources to operate its property or pay distributions.

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect the Partnership’s liquidity.

The Partnership’s ability to obtain financing and the cost of such financing depends on the overall condition of the United States credit markets and the level of involvement of certain government sponsored entities, specifically, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, and Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, in secondary credit markets. Recently the United States credit markets have experienced significant liquidity disruptions, which have caused the spreads on debt financings to widen considerably and have made obtaining financing more difficult. Further or prolonged disruptions in the credit markets could result in Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae reducing their level of involvement in secondary credit markets which would adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to obtain non-recourse property debt financing.

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may limit the Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures or the Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates.

The Partnership’s ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on its property depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments. If the Partnership is unable to fund capital expenditures on its property, the Partnership may not be able to preserve the competitiveness of its property, which could adversely affect the Partnership’s net operating income.

The Partnership’s ability to repay advances from affiliates depends on its ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and capital expenditure requirements. Net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond the Partnership’s control, including:

the general economic climate;
competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;
local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates;
changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;
increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents;
changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and
changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.

Competition could limit the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rents.

The Partnership’s apartment property competes for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments, condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent, as well as new and existing condominiums and single-family homes for sale. Competitive residential housing in a particular area could adversely affect the Partnership’s ability to lease apartments and to increase or maintain rental rates. The current challenges in the credit and housing markets have increased housing inventory that competes with the Partnership’s property.

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Partnership’s incurrence of unanticipated expenses.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties first occupied after March 13, 1990, to be accessible to the handicapped. These and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the Partnership’s property, or affect renovations of the property. Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although the Partnership believes that its property is substantially in compliance with present requirements, the Partnership may incur unanticipated expenses to comply with the ADA and the FHAA in connection with the ongoing operation of its property.

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly.

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property, including lead-based paint. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. As discussed in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note H – Environmental Spill”, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses of approximately $688,000 related to a diesel fuel spill at Presidential House Apartments which are included in operating expenses. The total cost of the clean up is approximately $688,000. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 and the Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds related to this loss as of December 31, 2008, which are included as a reduction of operating expenses. The Partnership is continuing to work with its third party insurance carrier with respect to obtaining additional insurance proceeds with respect to this loss.

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.

The Partnership is aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. The Partnership has only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. Affiliates of the General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the General Partner believes that these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure and will minimize the effects that mold may have on residents. To date, the Partnership has not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change the General Partner can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Form 10-K.

(2) See "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note C – Mortgage Notes Payable" for specific details about the loans and information with respect to the Partnership’s ability to prepay these loans.

On August 31, 2007 the Partnership obtained an additional mortgage loan in the principal amount of $5,650,000 on its sole investment property, Presidential House Apartments, located in North Miami Beach, Florida. The second mortgage bears interest at 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $34,000 beginning October 1, 2007, through the July 1, 2018 maturity date. The additional mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $4,625,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2019, during which period the additional mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Partnership may prepay the additional mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. In connection with the addition of the new loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $114,000 which were capitalized and included in other assets.

In connection with the additional mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications on the existing first and second mortgage loans encumbering Presidential House Apartments. The modification included consolidating the existing loans, an interest rate of 7.342% per annum, monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $31,000, commencing October 1, 2007, through the maturity of July 1, 2020, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $3,661,000 is due. The previous terms for the first mortgage were an interest rate of 7.96% per annum through the maturity date of July 1, 2020 and monthly payments of approximately $35,000 through the maturity date, at which date the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized. The previous terms for the second mortgage were an interest rate of 5.55% per annum through the maturity date of July 1, 2020 and monthly payments of approximately $11,000 through the maturity date, at which date the loan was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the modified mortgage loan at any time subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the modified loan.

Schedule of Rental Rates and Occupancy

Average annual rental rates and occupancy for 2008 and 2007 for the property were:

	Average Annual		Average Annual
	Rental Rates		Occupancy
	(per unit)
Property	2008	2007	2008	2007

Presidential House Apartments	$11,193	$10,905	94%	95%

As noted under "Item 1. Business", the real estate industry is highly competitive. The Partnership's property is subject to competition from other properties in the area. The General Partner believes that the property is adequately insured. The property is an apartment complex which leases units for lease terms of one year or less. No residential tenant leases 10% or more of the available rental space. The property is in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Real Estate Taxes and Rate

Real estate tax and rate in 2008 for the property were:

	2008	2008
	Billing	Rate
	(in thousands)

Presidential House Apartments	$256	1.79%

Capital Improvements

Presidential House Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership completed approximately $1,938,000 of capital improvements at Presidential House Apartments consisting primarily of elevator improvement costs, roof replacement, floor covering replacements, exterior building renovations, electrical breaker and air conditioner replacements, kitchen and bath upgrades and clubhouse renovations. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2009. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, from Partnership reserves or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. To the extent that capital improvements are completed, the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed, AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company, both affiliates of the General Partner, were defendants in a lawsuit, filed as a collective action in August 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for time worked in excess of 40 hours per week (“overtime claims”). The plaintiffs also contended that AIMCO Properties, L.P. and NHP Management Company failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be "on-call" (“on-call claims”). In March 2007, the court in the District of Columbia decertified the collective action. In July 2007, plaintiffs’ counsel filed individual cases in Federal court in 22 jurisdictions. In the second quarter of 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P. settled the overtime cases involving 652 plaintiffs and established a framework for resolving the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel. As a result, the lawsuits asserted in the 22 Federal courts will be dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees were paid by those partnerships where the respective employees had worked. The Partnership was not required to pay any settlement amounts. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The General Partner is uncertain as to the amount of any additional loss that may be allocable to the Partnership. Therefore, the Partnership cannot estimate whether any additional loss will occur or a potential range of loss.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, no matter was submitted to a vote of unit holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Security Holder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, offered and sold 37,273 Limited Partnership Units (the “Units”) during its offering period through October 1984. The Partnership currently has 748 holders of record owning an aggregate of 37,273 Units. Affiliates of the General Partner owned 18,739 Units or 50.28% at December 31, 2008. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):

	Year Ended	Per Limited	Year Ended	Per Limited
	December 31,	Partnership	December 31,	Partnership
	2008	Unit	2007	Unit

Financing (1)	$ --	$ --	$4,835	$129.72

(1) Distribution consists of financing proceeds from the additional mortgage obtained on Presidential House Apartments during August 2007.

Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the timing of the debt maturity, refinancing, and/or property sale. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the General Partner at December 31, 2008, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after capital expenditures to permit any distributions to its partners in 2009 or subsequent periods.

In accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners are entitled to receive an 8% cumulative preferred return on their unrecovered invested capital. No distributions have been made or accrued to the General Partner, since the limited partners must receive their original invested capital plus any preferred return arrearage before payment to the General Partner. As of December 31, 2008, the unpaid preferred return arrearage totaled approximately $8,497,000 or approximately $228 per Unit.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 18,739 Units in the Partnership representing 50.28% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008. 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 acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 50.28% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property 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, the General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions, accordingly, there is no guarantee that the General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

Results of Operations

The Partnership recognized a net loss of approximately $652,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to net income of approximately $504,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was due to an increase in total expenses and a decrease in the recognition of a casualty gain partially offset by a slight increase in total revenues.

Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to increases in operating, interest, depreciation and property tax expenses partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense. Operating expense increased due to cleanup costs incurred in 2008 related to a diesel fuel spill at Presidential House Apartments, resulting from an underground storage tank leak, as discussed below, along with cleanup costs related to hurricane and storm damages and an increase in insurance expense, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense. Insurance expense increased due to an increase in hazard insurance and general liability insurance premiums. Advertising expense decreased due to decreases in referral fees, national web and print advertising partially offset by an increase in leasing promotions. Interest expense increased due to an additional mortgage loan obtained during August 2007. Depreciation expense increased due to assets placed into service during the past twelve months which are being depreciated. Property tax expense increased due to an increase in the 2008 assessed value of Presidential House Apartments and the receipt during 2007 of refunds related to prior years taxes due to a successful appeal.

In August 2008, Presidential House Apartments sustained damage from Tropical Storm Fay. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership incurred approximately $8,000 of clean up costs. The clean up costs are included in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008.

In October 2005, Presidential House Apartments sustained damage from Hurricane Wilma. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Partnership received initial insurance proceeds of approximately $250,000 related to this casualty event. The Partnership received additional insurance proceeds of approximately $363,000 for this casualty event during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $250,000 and $363,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, as the damaged assets were fully depreciated. The Partnership does not anticipate that it will receive any further insurance proceeds related to this loss.

In March 2008, Presidential House Apartments sustained damage from a diesel fuel spill resulting from an underground storage tank leak. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership incurred costs of approximately $688,000, which are included in operating expenses. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 and the Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds during 2008 related to this loss which is included as a reduction of operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Partnership is continuing to work with its third party insurance carrier with respect to obtaining additional insurance proceeds with respect to this loss. The Partnership also incurred approximately $41,000 of capitalizable costs associated with this event. There was no recognition of a casualty gain or loss as the damaged assets were fully depreciated.

General and administrative expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to a decrease in legal costs associated with normal partnership operations and 2007 including expenses incurred as a result of the debt modification in the third quarter of 2007. Included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are management reimbursements to the General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for both periods are costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

The increase in total revenues is due to an increase in rental income partially offset by a decrease in other income. The increase in rental income is due to an increase in the average rental rate and a decrease in bad debt expense partially offset by a decrease in occupancy. The decrease in other income is due to decreases in interest income, late charges, lease cancellation fees and administration and application fees partially offset by increases in cleaning and damage fees, legal reimbursements received from tenants and ancillary income.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

At December 31, 2008, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $32,000 compared to approximately $33,000 at December 31, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $1,000. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to approximately $1,720,000 and $237,000 of cash used in investing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $1,956,000 of cash provided by financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the General Partner, partially offset by payments on the mortgages encumbering the investment property. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements. The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in interest bearing 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 property to adequately maintain the physical asset and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. The Partnership evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2009. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from advances from affiliates of the General Partner, although such affiliates are not obligated to fund such advances. To the extent that such capital improvements are completed, the Partnership's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $2,071,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to cover capital expenditures and operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $52,000 to cover operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership made no payments on the outstanding advances or on related accrued interest. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership made payments of approximately $904,000 on the outstanding advances and approximately $112,000 on related accrued interest, from operations and proceeds of the 2007 additional financing of Presidential House Apartments. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 the balance of the advances including accrued interest was approximately $2,183,000 and $53,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at December 31, 2008). Interest expense of approximately $59,000 and $63,000 was incurred during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $391,000 to pay operating expenses.

The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and repayment of advances from affiliates) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Partnership’s investment property of approximately $10,044,000 is amortized over varying periods. The first and second mortgages encumbering Presidential House Apartments mature in July 2020 and July 2018, respectively, at which time balloon payments totaling approximately $3,661,000 and $4,625,000, respectively, will be due. The General Partner will attempt to refinance the indebtedness encumbering Presidential House Apartments and/or sell the property prior to its maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (in thousands, except per unit data):

	Year Ended	Per Limited	Year Ended	Per Limited
	December 31,	Partnership	December 31,	Partnership
	2008	Unit	2007	Unit

Financing (1)	$ --	$ --	$4,835	$129.72

(1) Distribution consists of financing proceeds from the additional mortgage obtained on Presidential House Apartments during August 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in "Note A – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" which is included in the financial statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. The General Partner believes that the consistent application of these policies enables the Partnership to provide readers of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Partnership’s operating results and financial condition. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Judgments and assessments of uncertainties are required in applying the Partnership’s accounting policies in many areas. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Asset

Investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing. Any adverse changes in these factors could cause impairment of the Partnership’s asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less. The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area. Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

The Partners

Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 financial position of Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization:

Drexel Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Certificate of Limited Partnership dated November 2, 1983. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2032, unless terminated prior to such date. The general partner of the Partnership is DBL Properties Corporation ("DBL" or the "General Partner"), an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owns and operates Presidential House Apartments, a residential apartment complex located in North Miami Beach, Florida.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Property:

Investment property consists of one apartment complex and is stated at cost. The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements and replacements of existing property components. Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Costs” and SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Properties.” Costs incurred in connection with capital projects are capitalized where the costs of the project exceed $250. Included in these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all capital expenditure activities at the property level. The property did not capitalize any material costs related to interest, property taxes or operating costs during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. No adjustments for impairment of value were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", as amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for long-term debt) approximates their fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long-term debt by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, long-term debt. The fair value of the Partnership's long term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate is approximately $10,418,000.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits. Cash balances included approximately $23,000 and $24,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.

Tenant Security Deposits:

The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease and such deposits are included in receivables and deposits. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.

Depreciation:

Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the investment property and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the modified accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27.5 years, and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

Deferred Costs:

Loan costs of approximately $323,000 for both December 31, 2008 and 2007, less accumulated amortization of approximately $98,000 and $77,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in other assets. The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $21,000 and $14,000, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $21,000 for each of the years 2009 through 2013.

Leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases. Amortization of these costs is included in operating expenses.

Leases:

Advertising Costs:

The Partnership expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs of approximately $60,000 and $86,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were charged to operating expense.

Segment Reporting:

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in SFAS No. 131, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. SFAS No. 157 requires fair value measurements to be disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”, which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applicable to recurring fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Partnership is generally limited to annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 107. The Partnership adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, and at that time determined no transition adjustment was required.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

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

Affiliates of the General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership’s property as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $111,000 and $108,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in operating expenses. As of December 31, 2007, the Partnership owed approximately $1,000 to affiliates of the General Partner, which is included in due to affiliates. No such amounts were owed at December 31, 2008.

An affiliate of the General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $263,000 and $103,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses and investment property. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment property are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the General Partner of approximately $212,000 and $51,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership owed an affiliate of the General Partner approximately $59,000 and $7,000 of accrued accountable administrative expenses, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $2,071,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to cover capital expenditures and operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $52,000 to cover operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership made no payments on the outstanding advances or on related accrued interest. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership made payments of approximately $904,000 on the outstanding advances and approximately $112,000 on related accrued interest, from operations and proceeds of the 2007 additional financing of Presidential House Apartments. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 the balance of the advances including accrued interest was approximately $2,183,000 and $53,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at December 31, 2008). Interest expense of approximately $59,000 and $63,000 was incurred during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $391,000 to pay operating expenses.

The Partnership insures its property up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty, general liability and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its property above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $45,000 and $50,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 18,739 Units in the Partnership representing 50.28% of the outstanding units at December 31, 2008. 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 acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 50.28% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Note C - Mortgage Notes Payable

The terms of the mortgage notes payable are as follows:

	Principal		Monthly
	Balance At		Payment			Principal
	December 31,		Including	Interest	Maturity	Balance Due
Property	2008	2007	Interest	Rate	Date	At Maturity
	(in thousands)		(in thousands)			(in thousands)
Presidential House Apartments
1^st mortgage	$ 4,483	$ 4,526	$ 31	7.34%	07/01/20	$ 3,661

Total	$10,044	$10,159	$ 65			$ 8,286

On August 31, 2007 the Partnership obtained an additional mortgage loan in the principal amount of $5,650,000 on its sole investment property Presidential House Apartments, located in North Miami Beach, Florida. The second mortgage bears interest at 5.93% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $34,000 beginning October 1, 2007, through the July 1, 2018 maturity date. The additional mortgage has a balloon payment of approximately $4,625,000 due at maturity. If no event of default exists at maturity, the maturity date will automatically be extended for one additional year, to July 1, 2019, during which period the additional mortgage would bear interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 250 basis points and would require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Partnership may prepay the additional mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty. As a condition of the loan, the lender required AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Partnership, to guarantee certain obligations and liabilities of the Partnership with respect to the new mortgage financing. In connection with the addition of the new loan, the Partnership incurred loan costs of approximately $114,000 which were capitalized and included in other assets.

The mortgage notes payable are fixed rate mortgages that are non-recourse and are secured by a pledge of the Partnership’s rental property and by a pledge of revenues from the respective rental property. The mortgage notes payable include a prepayment penalty if repaid prior to maturity. Further, the property may not be sold subject to existing indebtedness.

Scheduled principal payments of the mortgage notes payable subsequent to December 31, 2008, are as follows (in thousands):

2009	$ 123
2010	131
2011	140
2012	149

Thereafter	9,342
	$10,044

Note D - Partners' Capital (Deficiency)

Pursuant to a public offering, 37,273 limited partnership units were sold at $500 per unit. The calculation of net (loss) income per limited partner unit is based on 37,273 units outstanding.

Operating losses are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Operating profits are allocated as follows: first, to partners with negative capital accounts until such capital accounts are zero; and second to the partners as a class in the same order as cumulative operating distributions have been allocated and if no cumulative operating distributions then 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Sale or refinancing losses are allocated as follows: first, to partners with positive capital accounts until such capital accounts are zero; and second, any excess 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Sale or refinancing profits are allocated as follows: first, to partners with negative capital accounts until such capital accounts are zero; and second to the partners as a class in the same order as the sale or refinancing distribution made in connection with the transaction was allocated and if no sale or refinancing distribution was made then 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner, however in no event shall the General Partner be allocated less than 1% of the profits from a sale or refinancing transaction.

Cash distributions from operations shall be made to the partners to the extent available and, as more fully described in the partnership agreement, as follows: first, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner (subordinated as defined in the partnership agreement) until the limited partners have received an amount equal to any unpaid preferred return arrearage for such year and second, any excess 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the General Partner.

Cash distributions from sales or refinancings, if any, shall be made to the partners to the extent available and, as more fully described in the partnership agreement, as follows: first, to each partner in an amount equivalent to the positive amount of such partner's capital account on the date of distribution after adjustment; second, to the limited partners, until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their original invested capital; third, 99% to the limited partners equal to any unpaid preferred return arrearage; and fourth, as to any excess, 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partner.

Note G – Casualty Gain

Note H – Environmental Spill

Note I – Contingencies

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Environmental

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property, including lead-based paint. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property. As discussed in “Note H”, the Partnership incurred clean up expenses of approximately $688,000 related to a diesel fuel spill at Presidential House Apartments which are included in operating expenses. The total cost of the clean up is approximately $688,000. The cleanup was completed as of December 31, 2008 and the Partnership does not expect to incur any additional costs. The Partnership received approximately $251,000 of insurance proceeds related to this loss as of December 31, 2008, which are included as a reduction of operating expenses. The Partnership is continuing to work with its third party insurance carrier with respect to obtaining additional insurance proceeds with respect to this loss.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Partnership’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officers of the General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, and effected by the Partnership’s management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

· pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

· provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Partnership’s management; and

· provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Partnership’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, the Partnership’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on their assessment, the Partnership’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

No director or officer of the General Partner owns any Units.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of the General Partner, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $2,071,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 to cover capital expenditures and operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2007, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $52,000 to cover operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership made no payments on the outstanding advances or on related accrued interest. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership made payments of approximately $904,000 on the outstanding advances and approximately $112,000 on related accrued interest, from operations and proceeds of the 2007 additional financing of Presidential House Apartments. At December 31, 2008 and 2007 the balance of the advances including accrued interest was approximately $2,183,000 and $53,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates. Interest is charged at the prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at December 31, 2008). Interest expense of approximately $59,000 and $63,000 was incurred during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, AIMCO Properties, L.P., advanced the Partnership approximately $391,000 to pay operating expenses.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 18,739 Units in the Partnership representing 50.28% of the outstanding units at December 31, 2008. 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 acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 50.28% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2008, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the General Partner, as general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Neither of the General Partner’s directors is independent under the independence standards established for New York Stock Exchange listed companies as both directors are employed by the parent of the General Partner.
