NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



Note 1 - Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies


General


The information contained in the following notes to the unaudited financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed by National Tax Credit Investors II (the “Partnership” or “NTCI-II”). Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end.  The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.


In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2006 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.


Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 information to conform to the 2006 presentation.


Organization


NTCI II is a limited partnership formed under the California Revised Local Partnership Act as of January 12, 1990. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships (“Local Partnerships”) which own and operate multifamily housing complexes that are eligible for low income housing federal income tax credits (the “Tax Credits). The general partner of the Partnership is National Partnership Investments Corp. (the “General Partner” or “NAPICO”), a California corporation. The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2030 unless terminated earlier pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or law.


The General Partner has a one percent interest in the operating profits and losses of the Partnership. The limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99 percent interest in proportion to their respective investments. The General Partner is an affiliate of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.


Upon total or partial liquidation of the Partnership or the disposition or partial disposition of a project or project interest and distribution of the proceeds, the General Partner will be entitled to a property disposition fee as mentioned in the partnership agreement.  The limited partners will have a priority item equal to their invested capital plus 6 percent priority return as defined in the partnership agreement.  This property disposition fee may accrue but shall not be paid until the limited partners have received distributions equal to 100 percent of their capital contributions plus the 6 percent priority return.


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.








Method of Accounting for Investment in Local Partnerships


The investment in local partnerships is accounted for on the equity method. Acquisition fees, selection fees and other costs related to the acquisition of the projects have been capitalized as part of the investment account and are being amortized by the straight line method over the estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss. No impairment loss was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.


Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Interest


Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the limited partners’ share of net loss by the number of limited partnership interests outstanding during the period. The number of limited partner interests was 72,404 for both of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.


FASB Interpretation No. 46


As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (or “FIN 46”) and applied its requirements to all Local Partnerships in which the Partnership held a variable interest.  FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  


Upon adoption of FIN 46, the Partnership determined it held variable interests in 17 VIEs for which the Partnership was not the primary beneficiary.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership identified three additional VIEs in which it held a variable interest and was not the primary beneficiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, one Local Partnership previously determined to be a VIE sold its investment property, consisting of 41 units. The remaining 19 VIEs consist of Local Partnerships in which the Partnership acquired an interest prior to the adoption of FIN 46 that are directly engaged in the ownership or management of nineteen apartment properties with a total of 2,086 units.  The Partnership is involved with those VIEs as a non-controlling limited partner equity holder and in one instance also as a second mortgage note holder (see “Note 3”).  The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs is limited to the Partnership’s recorded investments in and receivables from those VIEs, which was approximately $8,861,000 at June 30, 2006.  The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in the future.








Note 2 - Investments In and Advances to Local Partnerships


As of June 30, 2006 the Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 27 Local Partnerships, located in 17 states and Puerto Rico. At June 30, 2006, the Local Partnerships own residential projects consisting of 2,839 apartment units.  As a limited partner of the Local Partnerships, the Partnership does not have authority over day-to-day management of the Local Partnerships or their properties (the "Apartment Complexes").  The general partners responsible for management of the Local Partnerships (the "Local Operating General Partners") are not affiliated with the General Partner of the Partnership, except as discussed below.


The projects owned by the Local Partnerships in which NTCI-II has invested were developed by the Local Operating General Partners who acquired the sites and applied for applicable mortgages and subsidies, if any. NTCI-II became the principal limited partner in these Local Partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with the Local Operating General Partners.  As a limited partner, NTCI-II's liability for obligations of the Local Partnerships is limited to its investment. The Local Operating General Partner of the Local Partnerships retains responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Projects.  Under certain circumstances, an affiliate of NAPICO or NTCI-II may act as the Local Operating General Partner.  An affiliate, National Tax Credit Inc. II ("NTC-II") is acting either as a special limited partner or non-managing administrative general partner (the “Administrative General Partner”) of each Local Partnership.


The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions, of the Local Partnerships. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Partnerships using the equity method. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses of the Local Partnerships based upon its respective ownership percentage (between 5% and 99%). The Partnership is allocated profits and losses and receives distributions from refinancings and sales in accordance with the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements. These agreements usually limit the Partnership’s distributions to an amount substantially less than its ownership percentage in the Local Partnership.  


The individual investments are carried at cost plus the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s profits less the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s losses, distributions and impairment charges. The Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local Partnerships and is not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them. Therefore, it does not recognize losses once its investment in each of the Local Partnerships reaches zero. Distributions from the Local Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying statements of operations.  


For those investments where the Partnership has determined that the carrying value of its investments approximates the estimated fair value of those investments, the Partnership’s policy is to recognize equity in income of the Local Partnerships only to the extent of distributions received and amortization of acquisition costs from those Local Partnerships.  Therefore, the Partnership limits its recognition of equity earnings to the amount it expects to ultimately realize.


As of June 30, 2006, the investment balance in 19 of the 27 Local Partnerships had been reduced to zero.


At times, advances are made to Local Partnerships in order to preserve the ability to receive applicable Tax Credits.  Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership’s investment in limited partnerships.  Advances made to Local Partnerships in which the investment balance has been reduced to zero are charged to expense.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Partnership advanced to several Local Partnerships approximately $300,000 and $403,000, respectively. Two Local Partnerships repaid advances, one of which was previously reserved, of approximately $79,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and another Local Partnership repaid advances of approximately $7,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, an impairment loss of $790,000 was recognized with respect to the Partnership's investment in a Local Partnership, Michigan Beach.









The Local Partnership reached a settlement with the City of Chicago during 2002 to complete necessary repairs to the exterior façade of the building.  Since the Partnership has no remaining investment balance in Michigan Beach, and recovery of the advance is uncertain, the entire amount of the estimated cost was recognized as an impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, an additional impairment loss of approximately $368,000 was recognized with respect to the Partnership's investment in Michigan Beach due to revised estimates of the cost to complete the repairs required by the City of Chicago. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the estimate was further revised and an additional impairment loss of approximately $189,000 was recognized.  As of June 30, 2006, the Partnership had advanced Michigan Beach approximately $1,347,000 to complete these repairs and an additional approximately $890,000 for other operational items. These advances bear interest at prime plus 2% (10.25% at June 30, 2006) and interest income was approximately $112,000 and $60,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The receivable for the interest income has been fully reserved due to uncertainty of recovery from Michigan Beach. The local general partner, an affiliate of the General Partner of the Partnership, has negotiated a purchase and sale contract for the sale of Michigan Beach to a third party in June 2006. The sale is anticipated to close during the fourth quarter of 2006.  Such sale will be subject to due diligence, and there can be no certainty regarding the timing of such sale or if a sale will even occur.


During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the local general partner exercised its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in Sheboygen Regency House Limited Partnership for $5,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment.


In December 2005, the local operating general partner of Jefferson Meadows Apartments entered into a purchase and sale contract with a third party to sell the investment property.  The contract was contingent on receipt of consent from the Partnership.  On April 14, 2006, the Partnership provided its consent to the sale, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006.  The Partnership expects to receive approximately $38,000 in proceeds.  The Partnership has no investment balance remaining at June 30, 2006 in Jefferson Meadows Apartments.

 

In December 2005, the local operating general partner of Virginia Park Meadows Apartments entered into a purchase and sale contract with a third party to sell the investment property.  The purchaser terminated the contract in June 2006. The Partnership has no investment balance remaining at June 30, 2006 in Virginia Park Meadows Apartments.


In June 2006, the local operating general partner of Oakview Apartments entered into a purchase and sale contract with a third party to sell the investment property. The purchaser terminated the contract in July 2006. The Partnership had an investment balance of approximately $1,412,000 at June 30, 2006 in Oakview Apartments


On September 19, 2005, a Local Partnership, Pen-Hill-Co Limited Partnership, granted an option to sell its property, Westbridge Apartments, on or after January 2, 2006 to an affiliate of the lender for the outstanding indebtedness. Westbridge Apartments was sold to a third party on March 29, 2006 and the transaction was recorded as a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership at June 30, 2006.








On February 28, 2006, a Local Partnership, Ashville Equity, sold its investment property to a third party.  The Partnership received a partial repayment of approximately $75,000 of fully reserved advances due from Ashville Equity during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Partnership had no investment balance in this Local Partnership at June 30, 2006.


On June 30, 2006, the local operating general partner of Nickel River elected to exercise its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in the Partnership for $10,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership at June 30, 2006 and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.


An affiliate of the General Partner is currently the Local Operating General Partner in nine of the Partnership’s 27 Local Partnerships included above, and another affiliate receives property management fees of approximately 5 percent of gross revenues from two of the Local Partnerships (See “Note 3 – Related Party Transactions").


Note 3 – Mortgage Note Receivable


On May 30, 2006, the Partnership purchased the second mortgage for a Local Partnership, Michigan Beach, from the second mortgage holder, PAMI Midatlantic, LLC (“PAMI”) for a purchase price of $4,320,000. PAMI had filed an action for foreclosure and the appointment of a receivor for the alleged failure to make surplus cash payments and provide required financial reporting. As a result of the purchase, the Partnership was substituted in place of PAMI in the foreclosure action and then the Partnership dismissed the foreclosure action with prejudice on June 9, 2006.   The Partnership is the sole limited partner in Michigan Beach.  The Partnership borrowed $4,320,000 from an affiliate of NAPICO in order to purchase the second mortgage at Michigan Beach.  


The second mortgage had a principal balance of approximately $3,596,000 at the time of purchase and accrues interest at a fixed rate of 6.11%.  Semiannual payments from 50% of surplus cash are required and the note matures in July of 2031.  There is an option to the noteholder to accelerate maturity of the second mortgage after October of 2008. There have been no payments made on the loan and Michigan Beach did not generate any surplus cash for the year ended December 31, 2005.  The accrued interest at the time the Partnership purchased the second mortgage was approximately $1,605,000.  On June 9, 2006, Michigan Beach entered into a purchase and sale contract with a third party to sell the property owned by Michigan Beach for a total sales price of $13,700,000.  The sale is expected to close in November 2006.  The Partnership currently expects to receive payment in full on the second mortgage from Michigan Beach sales proceeds and accordingly no reserve has been established for the mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2006.








Note 4 - Related Party Transactions


Under the terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to the General Partner for the following fees:


(a)

An annual Partnership management fee in an amount equal to 0.5 percent of invested assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) at the beginning of the year is payable to the General Partner. For the six months ended June 30, 2006

and 2005, partnership management fees in the amount of approximately $269,000 and $276,000, respectively, were recorded as an expense.  At June 30, 2006, approximately $915,000 of these fees remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet.


(b)

A property disposition fee is payable to the General Partner in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of the competitive real estate commission that would have been charged by unaffiliated third parties providing comparable services in the area where the apartment complex is located, or (ii) 3 percent of the sale price received in connection with the sale or disposition of the apartment complex or local partnership interest, but in no event will the property disposition fee and all amounts payable to unaffiliated real estate brokers in connection with any such sale exceed in the aggregate, the lesser of the competitive rate (as described above) or 6 percent of such sale price. Receipt of the property disposition fee will be subordinated to the distribution of sale or refinancing proceeds by the Partnership until the limited partners have received distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds in an aggregate amount equal to (i) their 6 percent priority return for any year not theretofore satisfied (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate adjusted investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of the limited partners.  No disposition fees have been paid or accrued.


(c)

The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement to NAPICO was approximately $30,000 for both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and is included in general and administrative expenses. At June 30, 2006 approximately $83,000 of the reimbursements remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet.


NTC-II or another affiliate of the General Partner is the Local Operating General Partner in nine of the Partnership's 27 Local Partnerships. In addition, NTC-II is typically either a special limited partner or an administrative general partner in each Local Partnership.


An affiliate of the General Partner managed two properties owned by Local Partnerships for both of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The Local Partnerships pay the affiliate property management fees in the amount of five percent of their gross rental revenues and data processing fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 one of the properties managed by an affiliate of the General Partner was sold. The amounts paid were approximately $47,000 and $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


During the six months ended June 30, 2006 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $281,000 for advances to several Local Partnerships for operations and approximately $4,320,000 for the Partnership’s purchase of the second mortgage at Michigan Beach. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $497,000 to the Partnership for payment of the 2002, 2003, and 2004 New Jersey Partnership tax and advances to Michigan Beach. These advances bear interest at prime plus 2.0% (10.25% at June 30, 2006). Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $117,000 and $35,000, respectively. At June 30, 2006 approximately $6,265,000 of advances and accrued interest remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates.








As of June 30, 2006, the fees and advances due the General Partner exceeded the Partnership’s cash. The General Partner has indicated that, during the forthcoming year, it will not demand payment of amounts due in excess of such cash, however, the Partnership still remains liable for all such amounts.


Note 5 – Gain on Legal Settlement


During 2001, the Partnership and an affiliated partnership filed a suit against several parties for breach of fiduciary duties and breach of the partnership agreements of Quivira Limited Partnership, in which the Partnership has invested, and another Limited Partnership in which the affiliated partnership is invested.  The property in each respective Limited Partnership had been refinanced during 2001; however, the proceeds from the refinancing were being held within the Quivira Limited Partnership instead of being distributed.


During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership received approximately $108,000 from one of the parties involved in this legal action as part of a settlement agreement. Approximately $1,492,000 of its share of the refinancing proceeds of Quivira Limited Partnership were received during August 2002. The Partnership obtained judgments totaling approximately $4,800,000 against certain defendants in 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership received approximately $1,682,000 from the parties involved in this legal action as part of a global settlement agreement with the local general partner. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership received approximately $80,000 and $193,000, respectively, in additional settlement payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership received approximately $102,000 in additional settlement payments.  As part of the settlement agreement, the Partnership expects to receive additional payments from the defendants over the next four years.


Note 6 - Contingencies


The General Partner is involved in various lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and the General Partner, the claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.







Item 2.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation


The matters discussed in this report contain certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Registrant and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Registrant operates; financing risks, including the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting and defending claims and any adverse outcomes, and possible environmental liabilities. Readers should carefully review the Registrant's financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the documents the Registrant files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


The General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates or suggests additional compliance measures with regard to governance, disclosure, audit and other areas. In light of these changes, the Partnership expects that it will incur higher expenses related to compliance.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Some of the properties in which the Partnership has invested, through its investment in other limited partnerships (“Local Partnerships”), receive one or more forms of assistance from the Federal Government.  As a result, the Local Partnership’s ability to transfer funds either to the Partnership or among themselves in the form of cash distributions, loans or advances may be restricted by these government assistance programs.  These restrictions, however, are not expected to impact the Partnership’s ability to meet its cash obligations.


It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership invests will generate cash from operations sufficient to provide distributions to the Limited Partners in any material amount.  Such cash from operations, if any, would first be used to meet operating expenses of the Partnership.  The Partnership's investments are not readily marketable and may be affected by adverse general economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the projects, the Local Partnerships and the Partnership.  These problems may result from a number of factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General Partner.


An infrequent source of funds for the Partnership would be from proceeds received as a result of a sale of a Local Partnership’s investment property or from the sale of the Partnership’s interest in a Local Partnership.  


On June 30, 2006, the local operating general partner of Nickel River elected to exercise its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in the Partnership for $10,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership at June 30, 2006 and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.


During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the local general partner exercised its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in Sheboygen Regency House Limited Partnership for $5,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment.


As of June 30, 2006, the Partnership has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $125,000 on deposit with a financial institution, earning interest at market rates. Interest for both of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $2,000. The amount of interest income varies with the market rates available on deposits and with the amount of funds available for investment. Cash equivalents can be converted to cash to meet obligations of the Partnership as they arise.  The Partnership intends to continue investing available funds in this manner.


During the six months ended June 30, 2006 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $281,000 for advances to several Local Partnerships for operations and approximately $4,320,000 for the Partnership’s purchase of the second mortgage at Michigan Beach. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 an affiliate of the General Partner advanced approximately $497,000 to the Partnership for payment of the 2002, 2003, and 2004 New Jersey Partnership tax and advances to Michigan Beach. These advances bear interest at prime plus 2.0% (10.25% at June 30, 2006). Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $117,000 and $35,000, respectively. At June 30, 2006 approximately $6,265,000 of advances and accrued interest remain unpaid and are included in due to affiliates.


As of June 30, 2006, the fees and advances due the General Partner exceeded the Partnership’s cash. The General Partner has indicated that, during the forthcoming year, it will not demand payment of amounts due in excess of such cash, however, the Partnership still remains liable for all such amounts.


The General Partner has the right to cause distributions received by the Partnership from the Local Partnerships (that would otherwise be available for distributions as cash flow) to be dedicated to the increase or replenishment of reserves at the Partnership level.  The reserves will generally be available to satisfy working capital or operating expense needs of the Partnership (including payment of partnership management fees) and will also be available to pay any excess third-party costs or expenses incurred by the Partnership in connection with the administration of the Partnership, the preparation of reports to the Limited Partners and other investor servicing obligations of the Partnership.  At the discretion of the General Partner, reserves may be available for advances to the Local Partnerships.


The Partnership does not have the ability to assess Limited Partners for additional capital contributions to provide capital if needed by the Partnership or Local Partnerships.  Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause the Local Partnerships to require capital in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity of the local general partners, the only sources from which such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited reserves available at the Partnership level) will be (i) third-party debt financing (which may not be available if, as expected, the projects owned by the Local Partnerships are already substantially leveraged), (ii) other equity sources (which could adversely affect the Partnership's interest in operating cash flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the projects which would result in adverse tax consequences to the Limited Partners), or (iii) the sale or disposition of projects.  There can be no assurance that any of such sources would be readily available in sufficient proportions to fund the capital requirements of the Local Partnerships.  If such sources are not available, the Local Partnerships would risk foreclosure on their projects if they were unable to renegotiate the terms of their first mortgages and any other debt secured by the projects, which would have significant adverse tax consequences to the Limited Partners.


Results of Operations


The Partnership was formed to provide various benefits to its limited partners. It is not expected that any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to the limited partners in any material amount. The Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the Local Partnerships. The investments in 19 of the 27 Local Partnerships have been reduced to zero as of June 30, 2006.


Because of (i) the nature of the projects, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income housing in the future, and (iii) the inability of the Partnership to directly cause the sale of projects by local general partners, but generally only to require such local general partners to use their respective best efforts to find a purchaser for the projects, it is not possible at this time to predict whether the liquidation of substantially all of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds, if any, in accordance with the partnership agreement will be able to be accomplished promptly at the end of the 15-year tax credit compliance period.  If a Local Partnership is unable to sell a project, it is anticipated that the local general partner will either continue to operate such projects or take such other actions as the local general partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local Partnership.  In addition, circumstances beyond the control of the General Partner may occur during the compliance period which would require the Partnership to approve the disposition of a project prior to the end of the compliance period.


The Partnership, as a Limited Partner in the Local Partnerships in which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the management and ownership of improved real estate.  The Partnership investments are also subject to adverse general economic conditions, and accordingly, the status of the national economy, including substantial unemployment and concurrent inflation, could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses, which in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the projects.


The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions of the Local Partnerships. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investment in the Local Partnerships using the equity method.  Thus the individual investments are carried at cost plus the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s profits less the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s losses, distributions and impairment charges.  However, since the Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local Partnerships, or is not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them, it does not recognize losses once its investment in each of the Local Partnerships reaches zero.  Distributions from the Local Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero.  Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying statements of operations.  For those investments where the Partnership has determined that the carrying value of its investments approximates the estimated fair value of those investments, the Partnership’s policy is to recognize equity in income of the Local Partnerships only to the extent of distributions received, and amortization of acquisition costs from those Local Partnerships.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership recognized equity in loss and amortization of acquisition costs of approximately $130,000 and $113,000, respectively, from Local Partnerships.  The increase in equity in losses was primarily due to increased losses at the Local Partnerships.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Partnership received approximately $68,000 and $11,000, respectively, in distributions from Local Partnerships that were recognized as income in the statements of operations, included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” since the Partnership’s investment in those Local Partnerships had been reduced to zero.   


At times, advances are made to Local Partnerships in order to preserve the ability to receive applicable Tax Credits.  Advances made by the Partnership to the individual Local Partnerships are considered part of the Partnership’s investment in limited partnerships.  Advances made to Local Partnerships in which the investment balance has been reduced to zero are charged to expense.  During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 the Partnership advanced to several Local Partnerships approximately $300,000 and $403,000, respectively. Two Local Partnerships repaid advances, one of which was previously reserved, of approximately $79,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and one Local Partnership repaid advances of approximately $7,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.


A recurring Partnership expense is the annual partnership management fee.  The fee, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, is payable to the General Partner and is calculated at 0.5% of the Partnership’s invested assets as of the beginning of the year.  The management fee represents the annual recurring fee which will be paid to the General Partner for its continuing management of Partnership affairs. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, management fees were approximately $269,000 and $276,000, respectively.


Operating expenses, exclusive of the management fee, consist of legal and accounting fees for services rendered to the Partnership, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. Legal and accounting fees were approximately $53,000 for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. General and administrative expenses were approximately $76,000 and $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest expense was approximately $117,000 and $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to an increase in advances from an affiliate of the General Partner and an increase in the interest rate charged on such advances.


During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the local general partner exercised its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in Sheboygen Regency House Limited Partnership for $5,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment.


On June 30, 2006, the local operating general partner of Nickel River elected to exercise its option to buy the Partnership’s remaining interest in the Partnership for $10,000. The Partnership had no remaining investment balance in this Local Partnership at June 30, 2006 and the proceeds were recorded as gain on sale of investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.


Other


AIMCO and its affiliates owned 397.0 limited partnership interests (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 0.55% of the outstanding Units at June 30, 2006. 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. 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. 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 its sole stockholder.


FASB Interpretation No. 46


As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (or “FIN 46”) and applied its requirements to all Local Partnerships in which the Partnership held a variable interest.  FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.  Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.  FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.  


Upon adoption of FIN 46, the Partnership determined it held variable interests in 17 VIEs for which the Partnership was not the primary beneficiary.  During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership identified three additional VIEs in which it held a variable interest and was not the primary beneficiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, one Local Partnership previously determined to be a VIE sold its investment property, consisting of 41 units. The remaining 19 VIEs consist of Local Partnerships in which the Partnership acquired an interest prior to the adoption of FIN 46 that are directly engaged in the ownership or management of nineteen apartment properties with a total of 2,086 units.  The Partnership is involved with those VIEs as a non-controlling limited partner equity holder and in one instance as a second mortgage note holder (see “Item 1 – Financial Statements”).  The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with unconsolidated VIEs is limited to the Partnership’s recorded investments in and receivables from those VIEs, which was approximately $8,861,000 at June 30, 2006.  The Partnership may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Partnership voluntarily provides in the future.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.


Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships


The Partnership, as a limited partner, does not exercise control over the activities and operations, including refinancing or selling decisions, of the Local Partnerships. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investments in the Local Partnerships using the equity method. The Partnership is allocated profits and losses of the Local Partnerships based upon its respective ownership percentage of 5% to 99%. Distributions of surplus cash from operations from eleven of the Local Partnerships are restricted by the Local Partnerships’ Regulatory Agreements with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). These restrictions limit the distribution to a percentage, generally less than 10%, of the initial invested capital. The excess surplus cash is deposited into a residual receipts reserve, of which the ultimate realization by the Partnership is uncertain as HUD frequently retains it upon sale or dissolution of the Local Partnership. For the other sixteen Local Partnerships distributions of surplus cash are not restricted. The Partnerships are allocated profits and losses and receive distributions from refinancings and sales in accordance with the Local Partnerships’ partnership agreements. These agreements usually limit the Partnerships' distributions to an amount substantially less than its ownership percentage in the Local Partnership.


The individual investments are carried at cost plus the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s profits less the Partnership’s share of the Local Partnership’s losses, distributions and impairment charges. The Partnership is not legally liable for the obligations of the Local Partnerships and is not otherwise committed to provide additional support to them. Therefore, it does not recognize losses once its investment in each of the Local Partnerships reaches zero.  Distributions from the Local Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance until the investment balance is reduced to zero. When the investment balance has been reduced to zero, subsequent distributions received are recognized as income in the accompanying statements of operations.  


For those investments where the Partnership has determined that the carrying value of its investments approximates the estimated fair value of those investments, the Partnership’s policy is to recognize equity in income of the Local Partnerships only to the extent of distributions received and amortization of acquisition costs from those Local Partnerships. Therefore, the Partnership limits its recognition of equity earnings to the amount it expects to ultimately realize.


Item 3.

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 such term is 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.


(b)
