Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Shelter Properties II (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of South Carolina on October 10, 1980. The general partner responsible for management of the Partnership's business is Shelter Realty II Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the "Corporate General Partner"). The Corporate General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The other general partner is AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner and AIMCO. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2020 unless terminated prior to such date.

Commencing February 2, 1981, the Partnership offered, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, up to 27,400 Units of Limited Partnership Interest (the "Units") at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit with a minimum purchase of 5 Units ($5,000), or 1.5 Units ($1,500) for an Individual Retirement Account. An additional 100 Units were purchased by the Corporate General Partner. Since its offering, the Partnership has not received, nor are limited partners required to make, additional capital contributions.

The offering terminated on April 30, 1981. Upon termination of the offering, the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for 27,500 Units, including 100 Units purchased by the Corporate General Partner, for an aggregate of $27,500,000. The Partnership is engaged in the business of operating and holding real estate properties for investment. The Partnership invested approximately $21,000,000 of such proceeds in five existing apartment properties. The Partnership continues to own and operate two of these properties. See "Item 2. Properties".

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

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.

(3) Interest-only payments until January 1, 2011. Beginning January 1, 2011, payments of principal and interest based on 30-year amortization period.

Rental Rates and Occupancy

Average annual rental rates per unit and occupancy for 2009 and 2008 for each property are as follows:

	Average Annual		Average
	Rental Rates		Occupancy
	(per unit)

Properties	2009	2008	2009	2008

Parktown Townhouses (1)	$ 10,968	$ 10,551	96%	91%
Signal Pointe Apartments	10,069	9,738	81%	81%

(1) The Corporate General Partner attributes the increase in occupancy at Parktown Townhouses to improved customer service and units being available for rent after completion of a construction project at the property.

The real estate industry is highly competitive. Both of the Partnership’s properties are subject to competition from other residential apartment complexes in the area. The Corporate General Partner believes that each of the properties is adequately insured. Each 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. Both of the properties are in good physical condition, subject to normal depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Real Estate Taxes and Rates

Real estate taxes and rates in 2009 for each property were as follows:

	2009	2009
	Billing	Rate (1)
	(in thousands)

Parktown Townhouses	$276	2.88%
Signal Pointe Apartments	190	1.50%

(1) The rates are based on the local authority's assessed value of the investment properties.

Capital Improvements

Parktown Townhouses

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership completed approximately $460,000 of capital improvements at Parktown Townhouses, consisting primarily of structural upgrades, floor covering replacement and construction related to the hurricane damage discussed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow, insurance proceeds and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. 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 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Signal Pointe Apartments

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership completed approximately $5,816,000 of capital improvements at Signal Pointe Apartments arising from the redevelopment of the property, which includes capitalization of construction period interest of approximately $110,000, construction period property tax expense of approximately $38,000, and construction period operating costs of approximately $13,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately $290,000 were also completed, which consisted primarily of floor covering replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. In August 2007, the Partnership began a redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments in order for the property to remain competitive in the Winter Park area. The redevelopment was completed in November 2009 at a total cost of approximately $15,433,000, of which approximately $9,617,000 was completed prior to 2009. The redevelopment consisted of major landscaping, interior, exterior and structural improvements, the addition of detached garages and storage units, upgrades to the leasing center and the conversion of two clubhouses to a fitness center and internet café. The project was funded from operations and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, Partnership reserves, or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. does not have an obligation to fund 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 Corporate 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 (“the Defendants”) 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 have been dismissed. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Partnership paid approximately $7,000 for settlement amounts for alleged unpaid overtime to employees who had worked at the Partnership’s investment property. At this time, the 88 remaining “on-call” claims and the attorneys’ fees claimed by plaintiffs’ counsel are not resolved. The parties have selected six “on-call” claims that will proceed forward through the arbitration process and have selected arbitrators. After those arbitrations have been completed, the parties will revisit settling the “on-call” claims. The first two arbitrations took place in December 2009, and the Defendants received a defense verdict against the first two claimants, and plaintiffs dismissed the claims of the next two claimants. The remaining two arbitrations will take place in April 2010. The Corporate 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.

PART II

The Partnership, a publicly-held limited partnership, offered and sold 27,400 limited partnership units (the “Units”) aggregating $27,400,000. An additional 100 Units were purchased by the Corporate General Partner. The Partnership had 580 holders of record owning an aggregate of 27,500 Units at December 31, 2009. Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner owned 21,868.50 Units or 79.52% at December 31, 2009. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future.

No distributions were made during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations and the timing of the debt maturities, property sales and/or refinancings. 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 Corporate General Partner at December 31, 2009, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after planned capital expenditures to permit any distributions to its partners in 2010 or subsequent periods. See “Item 2. Properties – Capital Improvements” for information relating to anticipated capital expenditures at the properties.

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 21,868.50 Units in the Partnership representing 79.52% of the outstanding Units at December 31, 2009. 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, Unit holders 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 Corporate General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 79.52% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to control all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. Although the Corporate General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Corporate General Partner, as corporate general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Corporate 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 properties, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment properties, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Corporate General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties 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 Corporate 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 Corporate General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Corporate 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’s net loss for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $2,152,000 and $1,227,000, respectively. The increase in net loss is due to an increase in total expenses, partially offset by an increase in total revenues and the recognition of a casualty gain in 2009.

Total expenses increased due to increases in depreciation and interest expenses, partially offset by decreases in operating and general and administrative expenses. Property tax expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods. Depreciation expense increased due to property improvements and replacements placed into service during 2009 at both investment properties, which are now being depreciated. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in interest on advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. as a result of a larger average advance balance and a decrease in interest capitalized related to the completion of a construction project at Parktown Townhouses and the redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to decreases in advertising expenses and the hazard insurance premiums and clean up costs incurred in 2008 related to the storm damage at Parktown Townhouses.

General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in management reimbursements to an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. Also included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 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 increases in both rental and other income. The increase in rental income is primarily due to increases in the average rental rate at both properties and occupancy at Parktown Townhouses. Other income increased primarily due to increases in application fees and tenant utility reimbursements at Parktown Townhouses.

In September 2008, Parktown Townhouses sustained damages from Hurricane Ike. The damages were approximately $2,011,000 including clean up costs of approximately $275,000. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership removed approximately $1,147,000 of undepreciated damaged assets and recorded a corresponding receivable for the estimated insurance proceeds. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the clean up costs were included in operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership received insurance proceeds of approximately $1,628,000 to cover the damages. The Partnership recorded a casualty gain of approximately $478,000 as a result of the receipt of insurance proceeds, net of the write off of additional undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $3,000.

In August 2008, Signal Pointe Apartments sustained damages from Tropical Storm Fay. The clean up costs were approximately $17,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the clean up costs are included in operating expenses.

In November 2009, the Partnership completed a redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments in order for the property to remain competitive in the Winter Park, Florida area. During the construction period, certain expenses were capitalized and are being depreciated over the remaining life of the property. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately $110,000 and $230,000, respectively, of construction period interest expense, approximately $38,000 and $40,000, respectively, of construction period property tax expense and approximately $13,000 and $15,000, respectively, of construction period operating costs were capitalized.

In December 2008, the Partnership completed a construction project at Parktown Townhouses related to foundation upgrades to the buildings. As a result of this project, construction period interest expense of approximately $95,000, construction period property tax expense of approximately $23,000, and construction period operating costs of approximately $10,000 were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $208,000, compared to approximately $111,000 at December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $97,000 due to approximately $4,031,000 and $1,636,000 of cash provided by financing and operating activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $5,570,000 of cash used in investing activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., partially offset by repayment of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. and principal payments made on the mortgage encumbering Parktown Townhouses. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by insurance proceeds received.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $5,810,000 and $11,457,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to fund capital improvements at Parktown Townhouses, real estate taxes at Signal Pointe Apartments and the redevelopment and construction projects at Parktown Townhouses and Signal Pointe Apartments. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rates charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership range from the prime rate plus 2% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans. Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. The interest rates on outstanding advances at December 31, 2009 ranged from 5.25% to 11.19%. Interest expense was approximately $1,095,000 and $395,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $1,660,000 of advances and accrued interest. No such payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the total advances and accrued interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. were approximately $17,097,000 and $11,852,000, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates on the balance sheets included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $154,000 to fund operations and capital improvements at Signal Pointe Apartments and operations at Parktown Townhouses. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $4,476,000 of advances and accrued interest from proceeds from the second mortgage obtained on Parktown Townhomes.

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 properties to adequately maintain the physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Corporate General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the properties. In August 2007, the Partnership began the redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments in order for the property to remain competitive in the Winter Park area. The redevelopment was completed in November 2009 at a total cost of approximately $15,433,000, of which approximately $9,617,000 was completed prior to 2009. The redevelopment consisted of major landscaping, interior, exterior and structural improvements, the addition of detached garages and storage units, upgrades to the leasing center and the conversion of two clubhouses to a fitness center and internet café. The project was funded from operations and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during 2010. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the properties as well as anticipated cash flow generated by the properties.

Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, 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.

The Partnership's assets are thought to be generally sufficient for any near term needs (exclusive of capital improvements and amounts due to affiliates) of the Partnership. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Parktown Townhouses of approximately $5,618,000 is amortized over 240 months with a maturity date of January 1, 2021, at which time the loan is scheduled to be fully amortized. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Signal Pointe Apartments of approximately $18,596,000 matures in January 2019 and January 2021, at which time balloon payments of approximately $9,993,000 and $6,121,000, respectively, will be due. The Corporate General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell Signal Pointe Apartments prior to such maturity dates. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

The Partnership Agreement provides for partners to receive distributions from the net proceeds of the sales of properties, the net proceeds from refinancing and net cash from operations as those terms are defined in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement requires that the limited partners be furnished with a statement of Net Cash from Operations as such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement. Net Cash from Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) should not be considered an alternative to net loss as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Below is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities as disclosed in the statements of cash flows included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” to Net Cash from Operations as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

	Years ended
	December 31,
	2009	2008
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$ 1,636	$ 1,035
Payments on mortgage note payable	(320)	(298)
Property improvements and replacements	(7,198)	(12,222)
Changes in reserves for net operating
liabilities	(949)	(537)

Net cash used in operations (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement)	$ (6,831)	$(12,022)

The Corporate General Partner may designate a portion of cash generated from operations as "other reserves" in determining net cash from operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The Corporate General Partner designated as other reserves an amount equal to the net liabilities related to the operations of the apartment property during the current fiscal year that are expected to require the use of cash during the next fiscal year. The decrease in other reserves during 2009 and 2008 was approximately $949,000 and $537,000, respectively. These amounts were determined by considering changes in the balance of receivables and deposits, other assets, accounts payable, tenant security deposit liabilities, accrued property taxes, due to affiliates and other liabilities. At this time, the Corporate General Partner expects to continue to adjust other reserves based on the net change in the aforementioned account balances.

Other

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 Corporate 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 Assets

Investment properties are 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 a 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 estimated 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 properties. 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; changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of the Partnership’s assets.

Capitalized Costs Related to Redevelopment & Construction Projects

The Partnership capitalizes costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects. Costs including interest, property taxes and operating costs associated with redevelopment and construction projects are capitalized during periods in which redevelopment and constructions projects are in progress. 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.

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

Shelter Properties II

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Shelter Properties II as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009. 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 Shelter Properties II at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization: Shelter Properties II (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of South Carolina on October 10, 1980. The general partner responsible for management of the Partnership's business is Shelter Realty II Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the "Corporate General Partner"). The Corporate General Partner is a subsidiary of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The other general partner is AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner and AIMCO. The Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership is to terminate on December 31, 2020 unless terminated prior to such date. The Partnership commenced operations on March 1, 1981, and completed its acquisition of apartment properties on June 30, 1981. The Partnership operates two apartment properties located in Florida and Texas.

Subsequent Events: The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed.

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.

Allocation of Cash Distributions: Cash distributions by the Partnership are allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement provides that net cash from operations means revenue received less operating expenses paid, adjusted for certain specified items which primarily include mortgage payments on debt, property improvements and replacements not previously reserved, and the effects of other adjustments to reserves including reserve amounts deemed necessary by the Corporate General Partner.

The Partnership Agreement provides that 99% of distributions of net cash from operations are allocated to the limited partners until they receive net cash from operations for such fiscal year equal to 7% of their adjusted capital values (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), at which point the general partners will be allocated all net cash from operations until they have received distributions equal to 10% of the aggregate net cash from operations distributed to partners for such fiscal year. Thereafter, the general partners will be allocated 10% of any distributions of remaining net cash from operations for such fiscal year.

All distributions of distributable net proceeds (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) from property dispositions and refinancings will be allocated to the limited partners until each limited partner has received an amount equal to a cumulative 7% per annum of the average of the limited partners' adjusted capital value, less any prior distributions of net cash from operations and distributable net proceeds, and has also received an amount equal to the limited partners' adjusted capital value. Thereafter, the general partners receive 1% of the selling prices of properties sold where they acted as a broker, and then the limited partners will be allocated 85% of any remaining distributions of distributable net proceeds and the general partners will receive 15%.

Allocation of Profits, Gains and Losses: Profits, gains, and losses of the Partnership are allocated between general and limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

Profits, not including gain from property dispositions, are allocated as if they were distributions of net cash from operations.

Any gain from property dispositions attributable to the excess, if any, of the indebtedness relating to a property immediately prior to the disposition of such property over the Partnership's adjusted basis in the property shall be allocated to each partner having a negative capital account balance, to the extent of such negative balance. The balance of any gain shall be treated on a cumulative basis as if it constituted an equivalent amount of distributable net proceeds and shall be allocated to the general partners to the extent that general partners would have received distributable net proceeds in connection therewith; the balance shall be allocated to the limited partners. However, the interest of the general partners will be equal to at least 1% of each gain at all times during the existence of the Partnership.

All losses, including losses attributable to property dispositions, are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Net loss as shown in the statements of operations and changes in partners' deficit for 2009 and 2008 was allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement: In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, or SFAS No. 168, which is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Upon the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or the FASB ASC, became the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB ASC superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the FASB ASC is now non-authoritative. Subsequent to the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates that serve to update the FASB ASC.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: FASB ASC Topic 825, “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 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. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $25,255,000.

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 include approximately $98,000 and less than $1,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, that are maintained by an affiliated management company on behalf of affiliated entities in cash concentration accounts.

Depreciation: Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the apartment properties and related personal property. For Federal income tax purposes, the accelerated cost recovery method is used for depreciation of (1) real property additions over 27 1/2 years and (2) personal property additions over 5 years.

Deferred Costs: Loan costs of approximately $781,000 at both December 31, 2009 and 2008, less accumulated amortization of approximately $269,000 and $218,000, respectively, are included in other assets. The loan costs are amortized over the terms of the related loan agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $51,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and is included in interest expense. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $51,000 for each of the years 2010 through 2014.

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.

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 unit and is current on rental payments.

Leases: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.

Investment Properties: Investment properties consist of two apartment complexes and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. 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. 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. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership capitalized interest of approximately $113,000 and $325,000, property taxes of approximately $38,000 and $63,000, and operating costs of approximately $14,000 and $25,000, respectively. Capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. Expenditures for ordinary repairs, maintenance and apartment turnover costs are expensed as incurred.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a 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 estimated 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. No adjustments for impairment of value were necessary for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Segment Reporting: FASB ASC Topic 280-10, “Segment Reporting”, 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. FASB ASC Topic 280-10 also established standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. As defined in FASB ASC Topic 280-10, the Partnership has only one reportable segment.

Advertising: The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense, included in operating expenses, was approximately $167,000 and $235,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note D - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

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

Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $340,000 and $318,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.

Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses of approximately $410,000 and $803,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses and investment properties. The portion of these reimbursements included in investment properties for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are construction management services provided by an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner of approximately $111,000 and $363,000, respectively. In connection with the redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments (as discussed in “Note E”), an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner received a redevelopment planning fee of approximately $25,000 and a redevelopment supervision fee of 4% of the actual redevelopment costs, or approximately $614,000 based on redevelopment costs. The Partnership was charged approximately $232,000 and $323,000 in redevelopment supervision fees during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership owed approximately $195,000 and $121,000 for accountable administrative expenses, which is included in due to affiliates.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, AIMCO Properties, L.P., an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner, advanced the Partnership approximately $5,810,000 and $11,457,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 to fund capital improvements at Parktown Townhouses, real estate taxes at Signal Pointe Apartments and the redevelopment and construction projects at Parktown Townhouses and Signal Pointe Apartments. AIMCO Properties, L.P. charges interest on advances under the terms permitted by the Partnership Agreement. The interest rates charged on the outstanding advances made to the Partnership range from the prime rate plus 2% to a variable rate based on the prime rate plus a market rate adjustment for similar type loans. Affiliates of the Corporate General Partner review the market rate adjustment quarterly. The interest rates on outstanding advances at December 31, 2009 ranged from 5.25% to 11.19%. Interest expense was approximately $1,095,000 and $395,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $1,660,000 of advances and accrued interest. No such payments were made during the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the total advances and accrued interest owed to AIMCO Properties, L.P. were approximately $17,097,000 and $11,852,000, respectively, and are included in due to affiliates. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $154,000 to fund operations and capital improvements at Signal Pointe Apartments and operations at Parktown Townhouses. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Partnership repaid approximately $4,476,000 of advances and accrued interest from proceeds from the second mortgage obtained on Parktown Townhomes.

During 1983, a payable to the general partners of approximately $58,000 was accrued for sales commissions earned. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership accrued a sales commission due to the Corporate General Partner of approximately $47,000 related to the sale of Raintree Apartments. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, these liabilities cannot be paid until certain levels of return are received by the limited partners. As of December 31, 2009, the level of return to the limited partners has not been met. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, these obligations were included in due to affiliates.

The Partnership insures its properties 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 properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Corporate General Partner. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $154,000 and $142,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.

In August 2007, the Partnership began a redevelopment project at Signal Pointe Apartments in order for the property to remain competitive in the Winter Park, Florida area. The redevelopment was completed in November 2009 at a total cost of approximately $15,433,000, of which approximately $9,617,000 was completed prior to 2009. The redevelopment consisted of major landscaping, interior, exterior and structural improvements, the addition of detached garages and storage units, upgrades to the leasing center and the conversion of two clubhouses to a fitness center and internet café. The project was funded from operations and advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P. During the construction period, certain expenses were capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the property.

Note F - Casualty Events

Note G – Contingencies

The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment properties 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 properties, the Partnership could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its properties.

Mold

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 Corporate General Partner have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training and the Corporate 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 Corporate 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.

Note H – Subsequent Event

On March 11, 2010, the Partnership obtained a second mortgage loan in the principal amount of $5,121,000 on Parktown Townhouses. The second mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.48% per annum, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $32,000 beginning on May 1, 2010, through the loan’s January 1, 2021 maturity date. The second mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $4,267,000 due at maturity. The Partnership may prepay the second mortgage at any time with 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.

In connection with the second mortgage loan, the Partnership also agreed to certain modifications to the existing mortgage loan encumbering Parktown Townhouses. The modifications include a fixed interest rate of 7.21% per annum and monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $37,000 beginning on May 1, 2010, through the January 1, 2021 maturity date. The existing mortgage loan has a balloon payment of approximately $4,675,000 due at maturity. The previous terms of the existing mortgage loan consisted of a fixed interest rate of 7.21% per annum and monthly payments of approximately $61,000 through the maturity date of January 1, 2021, at which date the mortgage was scheduled to be fully amortized. The Partnership may prepay the first mortgage loan by delivering 30 days written notice to the lender subject to a prepayment penalty.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

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 Corporate 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 Corporate 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 Corporate 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, 2009. 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, 2009, 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 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
