NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization

     Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. As of June 30, 2006, we owned or managed a real estate portfolio of 1,320 apartment properties containing 230,438 apartment units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Based on apartment unit data compiled by the National Multi Housing Council, as of January 1, 2006, we were the largest owner of apartment properties in the United States.

     As of June 30, 2006, we:

	•		owned an equity interest in and consolidated 169,267 units in 731 properties (which we refer to as “consolidated”), of which 169,217 units were also managed by us;
	•		owned an equity interest in and did not consolidate 14,834 units in 110 properties (which we refer to as “unconsolidated”), of which 8,706 units were also managed by us; and
	•		provided services or managed, for third-party owners, 46,337 units in 479 properties, primarily pursuant to long-term agreements (including 39,751 units in 425 properties for which we provide asset management services only, and not also property management services), although in certain cases we may indirectly own generally less than one percent of the operations of such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund.

     Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2006, we held approximately a 90% interest in the common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all of our assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as “OP Units.” OP Units include common OP Units, partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units, and high performance partnership units, or High Performance Units. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of common OP Units based on the weighted average number of common OP Units outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership records the issuance of common OP Units and the assets acquired in purchase transactions based on the market price of Aimco Class A Common Stock at the date of execution of the purchase contract. The holders of the common OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of Aimco Class A Common Stock. Holders of common OP Units may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Aimco Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock. Preferred OP Units entitle the holders thereof to a preference with respect to distributions or upon liquidation. At June 30, 2006, 97,171,242 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 10,253,082 common OP Units and equivalents outstanding for a combined total of 107,424,324 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding preferred OP Units).

     Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and their consolidated entities, collectively.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

     The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain 2005 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated entities. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company. Interests held in consolidated real estate partnerships by limited partners other than us are reflected as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets of consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership.

     As a result of the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, as of March 31, 2004, we consolidate all variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, we consolidate real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities when we own, directly or indirectly, a majority voting interest in the entity or are otherwise able to control the entity. As a result of adopting EITF 04-5 as discussed further below, we are applying new criteria for determining whether we control certain partnerships.

Adoption of EITF 04-5

     In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, or EITF 04-5. EITF 04-5 provides an accounting model to be used by a general partner, or group of general partners, to determine whether the general partner(s) controls a limited partnership or similar entity in light of substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights held by the limited partners, and provides additional guidance on what constitutes those rights. EITF 04-5 was effective after June 29, 2005 for general partners of (a) all newly formed limited partnerships and (b) existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreements have been modified. We consolidated four partnerships in the fourth quarter of 2005 based on EITF 04-5 requirements. The consolidation of those partnerships had an immaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements. EITF 04-5 was effective on January 1, 2006, for general partners of all limited partnerships and similar entities. We applied EITF 04-5 as of January 1, 2006, using a transition method that does not involve retrospective application to our financial statements for prior periods.

     We consolidated 156 previously unconsolidated partnerships as a result of the application of EITF 04-5 in 2006. Those partnerships own, or control other entities that own, 149 apartment properties. Our direct and indirect interests in the profits and losses of those partnerships range from less than one percent to 50 percent, and average approximately 22 percent. The initial consolidation of those partnerships resulted in increases (decreases), net of intercompany eliminations, in amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2006, as follows (in thousands):

		Increase
		(decrease)
Real estate, net		$	665,793
Accounts and notes receivable from affiliates			(150,057	)
Investment in unconsolidated real estate partnerships			(64,419	)
All other assets			122,545
Total assets		$	573,862
Total indebtedness		$	521,711
All other liabilities			81,950
Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships			53,258
Minority interest in Aimco Operating Partnership			(9,552	)
Stockholders’ equity			(73,505	)
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity		$	573,862

     Our income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, include the following amounts for the partnerships consolidated as of January 1, 2006, in accordance with EITF 04-5 (in thousands):

		Three Months				Six Months
		Ended				Ended
		June 30, 2006				June 30, 2006
Revenues		$	40,546			$	81,506
Operating expenses			29,135				58,367
Operating income			11,411				23,139
Interest expense			(10,693	)			(24,896	)
Interest income			870				1,737
Income (loss) before minority interests		$	1,588			$	(20	)

     In prior periods, we used the equity method to account for our investments in the partnerships that we consolidated in 2006 in accordance with EITF 04-5. Under the equity method, we recognized partnership income or losses based generally on our percentage interest in the partnership. Consolidation of a partnership does not ordinarily result in a change to the net amount of partnership income or loss that is recognized using the equity method. However, when a partnership has a deficit in equity, generally accepted accounting principles may require the controlling partner that consolidates the partnership to recognize any losses that would otherwise be allocated to noncontrolling partners, in addition to the controlling partner’s share of losses. Certain of the partnerships that we consolidated in accordance with EITF 04-5 had deficits in equity that resulted from losses or deficit distributions during prior periods when we accounted for our investment using the equity method. We would have been required to recognize the noncontrolling partners’ share of those losses had we applied EITF 04-5 in those prior periods. In accordance with our transition method for the adoption of EITF 04-5, we recorded a $73.5 million charge to retained earnings as of January 1, 2006, for the cumulative amount of additional losses that we would have recognized had we applied EITF 04-5 in prior periods. Substantially all of those losses were attributable to real estate depreciation expense. As a result of applying EITF 04-5 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, our income from continuing operations includes partnership losses in addition to losses that would have resulted from continued application of the equity method of $4.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

     We adopted the Apartment Investment and Management Company 1997 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, or the 1997 Plan to attract and retain officers, key employees and independent directors. The 1997 Plan reserves for issuance a maximum of 20 million shares, which may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, or other types of awards as authorized under the 1997 Plan. At June 30, 2006, there were approximately 3.5 million shares available to be granted. The 1997 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors. In the case of incentive stock options, the exercise price of the options granted may

not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. The term of the incentive and non-qualified options is generally ten years from the date of grant. The options typically vest over a period of one to five years from the date of grant. We generally issue new shares upon exercise of options. Restricted stock awards typically vest over a period of three to five years.

     Prior to 2006, we applied the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation–Transition and Disclosure–an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, or SFAS 148, to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003, which resulted in recognition of compensation expense related to stock options based on the fair value of the stock options. For stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003, we applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense related to such options was recognized. We recognized compensation expense for stock options accounted for under SFAS 123 and restricted stock awards ratably over the period the awards vested. Compensation cost was reversed as forfeitures occurred.

     Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123R, which superseded SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires all share-based employee compensation, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value and provides for a modified prospective application method of adoption. Under this method, we are applying the provisions of SFAS 123R prospectively to new and modified awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, and are recognizing compensation cost over the remaining vesting period for the unvested portion of all outstanding awards granted prior to 2006. The measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS 123R that apply to our stock compensation arrangements are similar to those that we applied under SFAS 123 to awards granted on or after January 1, 2003. Under SFAS 123R, we continue to recognize the cost of stock-based compensation ratably over the vesting period. The primary change in our method of recognizing compensation cost relates to the treatment of forfeitures. Under SFAS 123R, expected forfeitures are required to be estimated in determining periodic compensation cost, whereas under SFAS 123 we recognized forfeitures as they occurred.

     In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006, we estimated that forfeitures of unvested awards of stock options and restricted stock for which compensation expense was recognized prior to 2006 will total approximately $154,000. SFAS 123R provides that a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle be recognized for such estimated forfeitures as of the date of adoption. We believe the estimated forfeitures upon adoption of SFAS 123R are immaterial and have reported the cumulative effect adjustment in our general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in decreases in our net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, of $346,000 and $601,000, respectively, including the cumulative effect adjustment. We estimate that the adoption of SFAS 123R will result in a decrease in our net income for the year ending December 31, 2006, of approximately $1.0 million due to the recognition of compensation expense related to stock options granted prior to 2003. After 2006, SFAS 123R is not expected to have any significant effect on our financial statements other than the timing of recognition of forfeitures.

     We estimated the fair value of our options granted in 2006 and 2005 using a Black-Scholes closed-form valuation model using the assumptions set forth in the table below. For options granted in 2006, the expected term of the options reflects the average of the vesting period and the contractual term for the options. Expected volatility reflects the historical volatility of our Common Stock during the historical period commensurate with the expected term of the options that ended on the date of grant. The expected dividend yield reflects the actual amount per share paid on our Common Stock after 2003 and the risk-free interest rate reflects the annualized yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a term equal to the expected term of the option. For options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted average fair value of options and our valuation assumptions were as follows:

		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2006				2005
Weighted average fair value of options granted during the period		$	5.23			$	3.57
Assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate			4.58	%			4.10	%
Expected dividend yield			5.58	%			6.31	%
Expected volatility			20.15	%			19.00	%
Weighted average expected life of options		6.5 years				5.0 years

     The following table summarizes activity for our outstanding stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

						Weighted				Weighted				Aggregate
						Average				Average				Intrinsic
		Options				Exercise				Contractual				Value
		(thousands)				Price				Term				(thousands)
Outstanding at January 1, 2006			11,054			$	38.78
Granted			647				43.01
Exercised			(1,068	)			36.92
Forfeited			(294	)			37.39
Outstanding at June 30, 2006			10,339			$	39.23			4.7 years				$	47,840
Exercisable at June 30, 2006			8,184			$	39.32			3.8 years				$	37,685

     The intrinsic value of a stock option represents the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $7.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Tax benefits may be realized in connection with the exercise of options by employees of our taxable subsidiaries. We did not realize material tax benefits in connection with the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     The following table summarizes activity for restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30, 2006
						Weighted
						Average
		Shares				Grant-Date
		(thousands)				Fair Value
Unvested at January 1, 2006			882			$	35.07
Granted			452				43.20
Vested			(229	)			34.26
Forfeited			(141	)			33.15
Unvested at June 30, 2006			964			$	39.11

     The aggregate fair value of shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $10.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

     Total compensation cost recognized for restricted stock and stock option awards was $6.7 million and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Of these amounts, $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, were capitalized. At June 30, 2006, total unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $35.3 million. We expect to recognize this compensation over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. Certain awards of restricted stock and options granted after 2004 are subject to immediate vesting based on achievement of a specified annual financial performance target during the scheduled vesting period. Recognition of related compensation cost may be accelerated based on our ongoing assessment of whether the performance target is probable of being achieved. At this time, we do not believe that achievement of the performance target is probable.

     The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method under SFAS 123 had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

		Three Months				Six Months
		Ended				Ended
		June 30, 2005				June 30, 2005
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as reported		$	5,873			$	(14,964	)

Use of Estimates

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

     We test for the recoverability of real estate assets that do not currently meet all conditions to be classified as held for sale, but are expected to be disposed of prior to the end of their estimated useful lives. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of the property, excluding interest charges. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. If an impairment charge is not required to be recorded under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, or SFAS 144, the recognition of depreciation is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying value of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the real estate is expected to be held and used. These depreciation adjustments decreased net income by $3.8 million and $9.3 million, and resulted in a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 and $0.10, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, these depreciation adjustments decreased net income by $8.7 million and $17.6 million, and resulted in a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.09 and $0.19, respectively.

Note 3 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

     In connection with the March 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc., we committed to invest up to $50 million for an interest in Casden Properties LLC. As of June 30, 2006, we had invested $45.8 million. Casden Properties LLC is pursuing development opportunities in Southern California and other markets. We have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase at completion all multifamily rental projects developed by Casden Properties LLC. We also committed to pay an aggregate amount of $50 million to Casden Properties LLC as a retainer on account for redevelopment services. As of June 30, 2006, $42.5 million has been paid.

     In connection with our redevelopment and capital improvement activities, we have commitments of approximately $82.3 million related to construction projects that are due to be substantially completed during 2006. Additionally, we enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Tax Credit Syndication

     We are required to manage certain consolidated real estate partnerships in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to our syndication of historic and low-income housing tax credits. In some instances, noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and require a refund or reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as minority interests in our consolidated balance sheet. The remaining compliance periods for our tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to 15 years. At June 30, 2006, we do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.

Legal Matters

     In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Limited Partnerships

     In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     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. 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 properties, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.

     We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate hazardous substances may be conditional asset retirement obligations as defined in FASB Interpretation No. 47, Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. Except in

limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or property casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of June 30, 2006, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

     Mold

     We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits that have alleged personal injury and property damage as a result of the presence of mold. In addition, we are 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. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We have implemented policies, procedures, third-party audits and training, and include a detailed moisture intrusion and mold assessment during acquisition due diligence. We believe these measures will prevent or eliminate mold exposure from our properties and will minimize the effects that mold may have on our residents. To date, we have 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 we can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Unclaimed Property and Use Taxes

     Based on inquiries from several states, we are reviewing our historic forfeiture of unclaimed property pursuant to applicable state and local laws. We are also reviewing our historic filing of use tax returns in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose such taxes. Although the outcome is uncertain, we do not expect the effect of any non-compliance to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Insurance Litigation

     We settled previously disclosed litigation involving National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, First Capital Group, a New York based insurance wholesaler, and other agents involved in the issuance of property insurance. Pursuant to the agreements, we received $7 million in settlement payments in July 2006. We have also settled our litigation with Cananwill, Inc. (“Cananwill”), Combined Specialty Insurance Company, formerly known as Virginia Surety Company, Inc., and others. Pursuant to the agreements, we recovered from Cananwill $1.6 million of unearned premium and contributed $1.65 million to a settlement pool payable to Cananwill. We recorded a loss of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of adjustments to our accounts receivable affected by these settlements.

     The previously disclosed litigation brought by WestRM — West Risk Markets, Ltd. (“WestRM”) against XL Reinsurance America, Inc. (“XL”), Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”) and Lumbermens in which we have been made a third party defendant continues. Summary judgment has been entered against defendants XL and Greenwich. The court issued an opinion on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment on July 19, 2006, rejecting Greenwich/XL’s motions in their entirety and granting partial summary judgment in favor of us, dismissing the claims for fraud, civil conspiracy, negligent supervision, and aiding and abetting fraud. The court left intact Greenwich/XL’s claims for contractual indemnification, contractual subrogation, and unjust enrichment. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to assert, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against the claims brought against us. In addition, we will vigorously prosecute our own claims. Although the outcome of any claim or matter in litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that we will incur any material loss or that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     FLSA Litigation

     The Aimco Operating Partnership and NHP Management Company (“NHPMN”), our subsidiary, are defendants in a lawsuit 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. The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be “on-call.” Additionally, the complaint alleges the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. In June 2005, the court

conditionally certified the collective action on both the on-call and overtime issues. Approximately 1,049 individuals opted-in to the class. The Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN are moving to decertify the collective action on both issues in briefs expected to be filed by August 15, 2006. Because the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify state subclasses, on September 26, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a class action with the same allegations in the Superior Court of California (Contra Costa County), and on November 5, 2005, in Montgomery County Maryland Circuit Court. The California case has been stayed, and the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN have moved to stay the Maryland case as well. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 4 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

     On June 29, 2006, we sold 200 shares of our Series A Community Reinvestment Act Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“CRA Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference of $500,000 per share, for proceeds of approximately $98 million. Holders of the CRA Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative cash dividends payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, when and as declared, beginning on September 30, 2006. For the period from June 29, 2006, the date of original issuance, through March 31, 2015, the dividend rate is a variable rate per annum equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Articles Supplementary designating the CRA Preferred Stock) plus 1.25%, calculated as of the beginning of each quarterly dividend period. The initial dividend rate is 6.75% per annum.

     Upon liquidation, holders of the CRA Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of $500,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared. The CRA Preferred Stock ranks prior to our Common Stock and on the same level as our outstanding shares of preferred stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

     The CRA Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to June 30, 2011, except in limited circumstances related to REIT qualification. On and after June 30, 2011, the CRA Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash, in whole or from time to time in part, at our option, at a price per share equal to the liquidation preference, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date.

     On March 19, 2006, we redeemed all 2.53 million outstanding shares of our 10.1% Class Q Cumulative Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share was $25.00 plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date of $0.035, for a total redemption price of $25.035 per share. The aggregate redemption price of $63.3 million was paid in cash.

     On March 31, 2006, we redeemed all 2.0 million outstanding shares of our privately held 8.5% Class X Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The redemption price per share was $25.00 plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date of $0.53125, for a total redemption price of $25.53125 per share. The aggregate redemption price of $51.1 million was paid in cash.

     Net income attributable to preferred stockholders includes preferred stock dividend requirements of $19.0 million and $40.5 million, and issuance costs related to redemptions of preferred stock of zero and $2.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Common Stock

     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately 6,000 and 35,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, approximately 98,000 and 131,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we issued approximately 50,000 and 452,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, respectively, to certain officers and employees compared to zero and 347,000 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. See Stock-Based Compensation in Note 2 for additional information about our stock-based compensation arrangements.

     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we issued approximately 12,000 shares and 19,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock to certain non-executive officers at fair value, compared to approximately 8,000 shares and 12,000 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. In exchange for common shares purchased, those non-executive officers executed notes payable totaling $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30,

2006, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, which are 25% recourse to the borrowers, have a 10-year maturity and bear interest either at a fixed rate of 6% annually or a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR plus 3.85%, which is subject to an annual interest rate cap of 7.25%. Total payments on such notes from all officers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.2 million and $18.6 million, respectively. Total payments on such notes from all officers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $4.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Note 5 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

     At June 30, 2006, we had four properties with an aggregate of 966 units classified as held for sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 38 properties with an aggregate of 8,692 units. Additionally, on February 17, 2006, we closed the sale of a portion of the Flamingo South Beach property known as the South Tower with an aggregate of 562 units. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we sold 83 properties with an aggregate of 16,835 units and our interest in one partnership. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, discontinued operations included the results of operations of all of the above properties prior to the date of sale.

     The following is a summary of the components of income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,

Income from discontinued operations		$	38,126			$	28,320			$	116,112			$	31,315

     We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. We expect that all properties classified as held for sale will sell within one year from the date classified as held for sale. At June 30, 2006, assets classified as held for sale of $33.0 million included real estate net book value of $32.5 million and liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $18.1 million included mortgage debt of $18.0 million. At December 31, 2005, assets classified as held for sale of $369.8 million included real estate net book value of $364.7 million and liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $228.9 million included mortgage debt of $221.8 million, represented by 36 properties and the South Tower with 10,220 units that were classified as held for sale during 2006 and 2005. The estimated proceeds, less anticipated costs to sell, for certain of these assets were less than the related net book value, and therefore we recorded net impairment losses of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, offset by $0.6 million in recoveries of estimated impairments from prior periods. Impairment losses recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $0.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. We are also marketing for sale certain other properties that do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Note 6 — Earnings per Share

     We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands, except per share data):

     All of our convertible preferred stock is anti-dilutive on an “if converted” basis, therefore, we deduct all of the dividends payable on the convertible preferred stock to arrive at the numerator and no additional shares are included in the denominator when calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share. We have excluded from diluted earnings per share the common share equivalents related to approximately 11.5 million and 11.5 million of vested and unvested stock options, shares issued for the portions of notes receivable that are non-recourse, and restricted stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and approximately 12.8 million and 12.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 7 — Business Segments

     We have two reportable segments: real estate (owning and operating apartments) and investment management business (providing property management and other services relating to the apartment business, primarily to affiliates). We own and operate properties throughout the United States and Puerto Rico that generate rental and other property-related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of residents. We separately evaluate the performance of each of our properties. However, because each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, the properties have been aggregated into a single real estate segment. All real estate revenues are from external customers and no real estate revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. No single resident or related group of residents contributed 10% or

more of total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005. Portions of the gross revenues earned in the investment management business are from transactions with affiliates in the real estate segment.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, or SFAS 131, requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. Our chief operating decision maker is comprised of several members of our executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business including net operating income, free cash flow, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations. The chief operating decision maker emphasizes net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. Accordingly, below we disclose net operating income for each of our segments. Net operating income is defined as segment revenues (after the elimination of intersegment revenues) less direct segment operating expenses.

     The following table presents revenues and net operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, from these segments, and reconciles net operating income of reportable segments to operating income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, total assets for our reportable segments is reconciled to total consolidated assets as reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

Note 8 — Recent Accounting Developments

     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48. FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step involves evaluation of a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step involves measuring the benefit to recognize in the financial statements for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have not yet determined the effects that FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.

Note 9 — Subsequent Events

     On July 20, 2006, we redeemed all 6,940,000 outstanding shares of our 10% Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price per share of $25.00 plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date for a total of $25.243 per share. The aggregate redemption price of $175.2 million was paid in cash. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of our 10% Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock of approximately $4 million will be reported in net income attributable to preferred stockholders in the period of redemption.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of acquisitions, our 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 that are beyond our control including, without limitation: natural disasters such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; financing risks, including the risk that our 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; acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; the timing of acquisitions and dispositions; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us. In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein and except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, AIMCO Properties, L.P. (which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership) and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.

Executive Overview

     We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the ownership, acquisition, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. Our property operations are characterized by diversification of product, location and price point. As of June 30, 2006, we owned or managed 1,320 apartment properties containing 230,438 units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our primary sources of income and cash are rents associated with apartment leases.

     The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Funds From Operations, or FFO; FFO less spending for Capital Replacements, or AFFO; same store property operating results; net operating income; net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements, or Free Cash Flow; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. These terms are defined and described in the sections captioned “Funds From Operations” and “Capital Expenditures” below. The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that affect our financial condition and operating performance are: rates of job growth; single-family and multifamily housing starts; and interest rates.

     Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our properties, the supply and demand for apartments influences our operating results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our properties, the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment properties, and the volume and timing of fee transactions affect our operating results. Our cost of capital is affected by the conditions in the capital and credit markets and the terms that we negotiate for our equity and debt financings.

     For 2006, our focus includes the following: continue to improve operations so that customer satisfaction and occupancy increase to bring improved profitability; upgrade the quality of our portfolio through portfolio management and redevelopment; increase efficiency through improved business processes and automation; improve balance sheet flexibility; minimize our cost of capital in the face of rising interest rates; and monetize a portion of the value inherent in our properties with increased entitlements.

     The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.

Results of Operations

Overview

     Three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to three months ended June 30, 2005

     We reported net income of $35.1 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net income of $27.6 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, which were increases of $7.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively. These increases were principally due to the following items:

	•		an increase in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to larger net gains on sales of real estate;
	•		an increase in net operating income from property operations, which is primarily attributable to operations of newly consolidated properties and improved operating results of same store properties; and
	•		an increase in net operating income from activity fees and asset management.

These increases were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

     Six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to six months ended June 30, 2005

     We reported net income of $119.2 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $76.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net income of $29.6 million and net loss attributable to common stockholders of $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which were increases of $89.6 million and $91.1 million, respectively. These increases were principally due to the following items:

	•		an increase in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to larger net gains on sales of real estate;
	•		an increase in net operating income from property operations, which is primarily attributable to operations of newly consolidated properties and improved operating results of same store properties; and
	•		an increase in net gain on sale of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, primarily related to first quarter 2006 gains on sale of land and other non-depreciable assets.

These increases were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting the results of our operations in more detail.

Rental Property Operations

     Our operating income is primarily generated from the operations of our consolidated properties. The principal components within our total consolidated property operations are: consolidated same store properties, which consist of all conventional properties that were owned (and not classified as held for sale) and managed by us, stabilized and consolidated for all comparable periods presented, and other consolidated properties, which primarily include newly consolidated, acquisition, affordable and redevelopment properties.

     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our consolidated properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Rental and other property revenues		$	419,234			$	344,659			$	830,126			$	677,223
Property operating expenses			190,485				160,707				388,540				321,552
Net operating income		$	228,749			$	183,952			$	441,586			$	355,671

     Newly consolidated properties had a significant effect on our reported consolidated property operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Newly consolidated properties are properties that: (i) are consolidated for all or

part of the current year reporting period, (ii) were unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method for all or part of the corresponding prior year reporting period, and (iii) were not sold or classified as held for sale during the current year reporting period. The consolidation of properties upon adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-5, or EITF 04-5, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1, contributed to an unusually large number of newly consolidated properties in 2006.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income for our consolidated property operations increased by $44.8 million, or 24.4%. This increase was primarily attributable to $21.2 million in net operating income from newly consolidated properties (141 properties first consolidated in 2006 and 10 properties first consolidated in 2005) and a $17.3 million increase in consolidated same store net operating income, which is discussed further below under “Consolidated Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results.” Increases in net operating income from affordable, redevelopment and acquisition properties also contributed to the overall increase.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income for our consolidated property operations increased by $85.9 million, or 24.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to $41.4 million in net operating income from newly consolidated properties (141 properties first consolidated in 2006 and 13 properties first consolidated in 2005) and a $30.4 million increase in consolidated same store net operating income, which is discussed further below under “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results.” The operations of acquisition properties, consisting of six properties purchased in 2005 and two properties purchased in 2006, resulted in a $3.8 million increase in net operating income. The increase in net operating income also reflects improved results of affordable properties, favorable changes in estimates of casualty losses and certain 2005 expenses that did not recur in 2006.

Conventional Consolidated Same Store Property Operating Results

     Same store operating results is a key indicator we use to assess the performance of our property operations and to understand the period over period operations of a consistent portfolio of properties. We define “consolidated same store” properties as conventional properties (i) that we manage, (ii) in which our ownership interest exceeds 10%, (iii) the operations of which have been stabilized and consolidated for all periods presented and (iv) that have not been classified as held for sale. The rental property operations of our consolidated same store properties are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Consolidated same store revenues		$	289,354			$	267,757			$	572,171			$	528,461
Consolidated same store property operating expenses			122,892				118,616				248,975				235,666
Consolidated same store net operating income			166,462				149,141				323,196				292,795
Adjustments to reconcile same store net operating income to real estate segment net operating income (1)			62,287				34,811				118,390				62,876
Real estate segment net operating income		$	228,749			$	183,952			$	441,586			$	355,671
Consolidated Same Store Statistics
Properties			400				400				398				398
Apartment units			117,517				117,517				117,171				117,171
Average physical occupancy			94.3	%			91.1	%			94.5	%			91.1	%
Average rent/unit/month		$	797			$	771			$	791			$	768

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, consolidated same store net operating income increased by $17.3 million, or 11.6%. Revenues increased by $21.6 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to

higher occupancy (up 3.2%), higher average rent (up $26 per unit) and higher utility reimbursements. Property operating expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in utilities reflecting higher natural gas rates and a $2.4 million increase in real estate taxes. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in insurance expense and certain self-insured claims.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, our share of consolidated same store net operating income increased by $30.4 million, or 10.4%. Revenues increased by $43.7 million, or 8.3%, primarily due to higher occupancy (up 3.4%), higher average rent (up $23 per unit), higher utility reimbursements and lower bad debt expense. Expenses increased by $13.3 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to: a $6.3 million increase in utilities, reflecting higher rates for natural gas; a $3.7 million increase in real estate taxes; and a $2.0 million increase in insurance expense, reflecting higher premiums and claims experience prior to the annual renewal of policies in March 2006.

Property Management

     We earn income from property management primarily from certain unconsolidated real estate partnerships for which we are the general partner. The income is primarily in the form of fees generated through property management and other associated activities. Reported revenue from property management decreases as we consolidate real estate partnerships because it is eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, our revenue decreases as properties within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships are sold. Offsetting the revenue earned in property management are the direct expenses associated with property management.

     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our property management business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Property management revenues, primarily from affiliates		$	3,592			$	5,926			$	6,622			$	12,590
Property management expenses			2,151				1,829				2,643				3,745
Net operating income from property management		$	1,441			$	4,097			$	3,979			$	8,845

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income from property management decreased by $2.7 million, or 64.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income from property management decreased by $4.9 million, or 55.0%. These decreases were principally due to the consolidation of real estate partnerships upon adoption of EITF 04-5 and otherwise, which resulted in the elimination of fee income and reclassification of related expenses to property operating expenses. Property management revenues that were eliminated in consolidation for our newly consolidated properties totaled $2.8 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Sales of properties by unconsolidated partnerships that had previously generated property management revenues also contributed to decreases in property management revenues and expenses.

Activity Fees and Asset Management

     Activity fees are generated from transactions, including tax credit syndications and redevelopments, dispositions, and refinancings. These transactions occur on varying timetables, thus the income varies from period to period. The majority of these fees are realized in connection with transactions related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio. We have a large number of affiliated real estate partnerships for which we have identified a pipeline of transactional opportunities. As a result, we view activity fees as a predictable part of our core business strategy. Asset management revenue is from the financial management of partnerships, rather than management of day-to-day property operations. Asset management revenue includes certain fees that were earned in a prior period, but not recognized at that time because collectibility was not reasonably assured. Those fees may be recognized in a subsequent period upon occurrence of a transaction or improvement in operations that generates sufficient cash to pay the fees. Activity and asset management expenses are the direct expenses associated with transactional activities and asset management. These activities are conducted primarily by our taxable subsidiaries and the related operating income is generally subject to income taxes.

     The following table summarizes the operating results of our transactional and asset management activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Activity fees and asset management revenues, primarily from affiliates		$	12,133			$	6,680			$	21,673			$	14,697
Activity and asset management expenses			3,239				2,305				5,671				4,913
Net operating income from activity fees and asset management		$	8,894			$	4,375			$	16,002			$	9,784

     Activity fees and asset management revenues related to affordable properties within the Aimco Capital portfolio totaled $11.4 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $18.8 million and $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $4.5 million, or 103.3%. This increase reflects increases totaling $2.4 million in disposition fees and promote income earned in connection with property disposition transactions. Proceeds from certain disposition transactions also facilitated the collection and recognition in 2006 of $2.4 million in fees that were earned but not recognized in prior periods. The increases in revenues were partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in expenses associated with these activities.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $6.2 million, or 63.6%. The higher level of income in 2006 was primarily due to increases totaling $3.8 million in disposition fees and promote income earned in connection with property disposition transactions. In addition, developer fees increased $2.2 million as a result of higher tax credit redevelopment activity. The increases in revenues were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in expenses associated with these activities.

Depreciation and Amortization

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, depreciation and amortization increased $20.5 million, or 21.4%. This increase was principally due to $10.1 million in depreciation related to newly consolidated properties, especially properties consolidated in 2006 as a result of adopting EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1). The increase also reflects $10.5 million in depreciation of capital projects placed in service after June 30, 2005 and $2.7 million related to a prospective change as of July 1, 2005 in the estimated useful lives that apply to capitalized payroll and certain indirect costs. These increases were partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in depreciation adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value of real estate to its estimated disposition value (see Use of Estimates in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, depreciation and amortization increased $40.6 million, or 21.7%. This increase was principally due to $20.6 million in depreciation related to newly consolidated properties, especially properties consolidated in 2006 as a result of adopting EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1). The increase also reflects: $16.5 million in depreciation of capital projects placed in service after June 30, 2005; $4.0 million for acquisition properties; and $5.3 million related to a prospective change as of July 1, 2005 in the estimated useful lives that apply to capitalized payroll and certain indirect costs. These increases were partially offset by a $6.7 million decrease in depreciation adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value of real estate to its estimated disposition value (see Use of Estimates in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1).

General and Administrative Expenses

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or 14.2%. This increase was principally due to higher accrued bonus compensation reflecting improved performance in relation to established targets.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 11.6%. This increase was principally due to $5.9 million in higher compensation related expenses, including higher accrued bonus compensation reflecting improved performance in relation to established targets. The increase was partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in fees for certain professional services.

Other Expenses (Income), Net

     Other expenses (income), net includes income tax provision/benefit, franchise taxes, risk management activities related to our unconsolidated partnerships, partnership administration expenses and certain non-recurring items.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, other expenses (income), net changed unfavorably by $3.3 million. The net change is primarily attributable a $2.6 million decrease in income tax benefits attributable to continuing operations of our taxable subsidiaries.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, other expenses (income), net changed unfavorably by $4.6 million. The net change is primarily attributable a $2.3 million increase in various partnership expenses, including expenses of newly consolidated partnerships, and $1.7 million in separation costs for terminated employees in 2006.

Interest Income

     Interest income consists primarily of interest on notes receivable from unconsolidated entities and interest earned on restricted and unrestricted cash balances. Reported interest income on notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships has declined in 2006 due to the elimination of interest income on notes receivable from newly consolidated properties, especially properties consolidated a result of adopting EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1). The economic benefit for the minority partners’ share of interest on the eliminated notes is reflected in minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 23.7%. The net decrease reflects a $3.5 million decrease due to the elimination of interest income on notes receivable from newly consolidated properties. This decrease was partially offset by interest income on cash balances maintained by the newly consolidated properties, increased interest on higher balances of notes receivable from non-affiliates, and higher interest rates on cash balances.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, interest income decreased $2.1 million, or 14.0%. The net decrease reflects a $6.2 million decrease due to the elimination of interest income on notes receivable from newly consolidated properties. This decrease was partially offset by interest income on cash balances maintained by the newly consolidated properties, increased interest on higher balances of notes receivable from non-affiliates, and higher interest rates on cash balances.

Interest Expense

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $17.2 million, or 19.9%. This increase was principally due to $14.6 million in interest on loans payable for newly consolidated properties, especially properties consolidated in 2006 as a result of adopting EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1). Interest on property loans payable also increased $5.0 million primarily due to higher rates on variable rate loans. The effects of higher variable interest rates and lower outstanding borrowings had largely offsetting effects on corporate interest expense. The overall increase in interest expense was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in capitalized interest, reflecting higher levels of accumulated expenditures on redevelopment projects.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $34.9 million, or 20.6%. This increase was principally due to $26.1 million in interest on loans payable for newly consolidated properties. Property interest expense also increased due to $2.7 million for acquisition properties and $8.0 million for other properties, reflecting higher balances and higher variable rates. Corporate interest expense increased by approximately $2.9 million, reflecting higher variable rates offset in part by lower balances. The overall increase interest expense was partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in capitalized interest, reflecting higher levels of accumulated expenditures on redevelopment projects.

Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Related to Unconsolidated Entities and Other

     Gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other includes our share of gain related to dispositions of real estate within unconsolidated real estate partnerships, gain on dispositions of land and other non-depreciable assets and costs related to asset disposal activities. Changes in the level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our disposition activity from period to period. Additionally, gains on properties sold are determined on an individual property basis or in the aggregate for a group of properties that are sold in a single transaction, and are not comparable period to period.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other increased $8.6 million. This increase is primarily attributable to $5.7 million in gains on sale of land and other non-depreciable assets in 2006.

Minority Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

     Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships reflects minority partners’ share of operating results of consolidated real estate partnerships. This includes the minority partners’ share of property management fees, interest on notes and other amounts eliminated in consolidation that we charge to such partnerships. As a result of adopting EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1), minority interests in our consolidated real estate partnerships have increased in 2006. However, we generally do not recognize a benefit for the minority interest share of partnership losses, which are typically attributable to real estate depreciation, for partnerships that have deficits in partners’ equity.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, the net effect of minority interests changed unfavorably by $1.3 million. This change is primarily attributable to a $3.6 million increase in the minority interest share of partnership net losses, reduced by our recognition of $4.9 million for minority partners’ share of losses of partnerships with deficits in equity as a result of adopting EITF 04-5 in 2006.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, the net favorable effect of minority interests increased $2.2 million. This increase is primarily attributable to an $11.3 million increase in the minority interest share of partnership net losses, reduced by our recognition of $9.1 million for minority partners’ share of losses of partnerships with deficits in equity as a result of adopting EITF 04-5 in 2006.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net

     The results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are generally required to be classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include all property-related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, property-specific interest expense to the extent there is secured debt on the property and the associated minority interest. In addition, any impairment losses on assets held for sale, and the net gain on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported as discontinued operations.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, income from discontinued operations, net totaled $38.1 million and $28.3 million, respectively, which include losses from operations after interest income, interest expense and minority interest of $1.3 million and $0.9 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, income from discontinued operations, net totaled $116.1 million and $31.3 million, respectively, which include losses from operations after interest income, interest expense and minority interest of $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For 2006, income from discontinued operations included the operating results of 36 properties and one tower of the Flamingo South Beach property (the South Tower) that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2006. For 2005, income from discontinued operations included the operating results of 120 properties and the South Tower that were sold or classified as held for sale in 2005 or 2006. Due to the varying number of properties and the timing of sales, the income from operations is not comparable from year to year.

     During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 19 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $41.6 million, net of $1.0 million of related income taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we sold 11 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $28.5 million, net of $1.2 million of related income taxes. Additionally, we recognized recoveries of deficit distributions to minority partners of $2.1 million and $4.1 million in connection with the sale of properties in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 38 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $114.6 million, net of $28.0 million of related income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we sold 17 properties and our interest in one consolidated partnership, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $35.5 million, net of $1.2 million of related taxes. Additionally, we recognized recoveries of deficit distributions to minority partners of $16.4 million and $3.5 million in connection with the sale of properties in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We also recognized a $2.2 million impairment loss in connection with the sale of properties in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

     Changes in gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our disposition activity from period to period. Additionally, gains on properties sold are determined on an individual property basis or in the aggregate for a group of properties that are sold in a single transaction, and are not comparable period to period. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for more information on discontinued operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Real estate and other long-lived assets to be held and used are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, 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, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows of the property, excluding interest charges. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

     Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our real estate investments. These factors include:

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

     Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment in our long-lived assets, including real estate and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, we determined that the carrying amount for our properties to be held and used was recoverable and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses related to such properties during the three or six months ended June 30, 2006 or 2005.

Notes Receivable and Interest Income Recognition

     Notes receivable from unconsolidated real estate partnerships consist primarily of notes receivable from partnerships in which we are the general partner. The ultimate repayment of these notes is subject to a number of variables, including the performance and value of the underlying real estate property and the claims of unaffiliated mortgage lenders. Our notes receivable include loans extended by us that we carry at the face amount plus accrued interest, which we refer to as “par value notes,” and loans extended by predecessors whose positions we generally acquired at a discount, which we refer to as “discounted notes.”

     We record interest income on par value notes as earned in accordance with the terms of the related loan agreements. We discontinue the accrual of interest on such notes when the notes are impaired, as discussed below, or when there is

otherwise significant uncertainty as to the collection of interest. We record income on such nonaccrual loans using the cost recovery method, under which we apply cash receipts first to the recorded amount of the loan; thereafter, any additional receipts are recognized as income.

     We recognize interest income on discounted notes receivable based upon whether the amount and timing of collections are both probable and reasonably estimable. We consider collections to be probable and reasonably estimable when the borrower has entered into certain closed or pending transactions (which include real estate sales, refinancings, foreclosures and rights offerings) that provide a reliable source of repayment. In such instances, we recognize accretion income, on a prospective basis using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the loans, equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the discounted notes and the estimated collectible value. We record income on all other discounted notes using the cost recovery method. Accretion income recognized in any given period is based on our ability to complete transactions to monetize the notes receivable and the difference between the carrying value and the estimated collectible value of the notes; therefore, accretion income varies on a period-by-period basis and could be lower or higher than in prior periods.

Allowance for Losses on Notes Receivable

     We assess the collectibility of notes receivable on a periodic basis, which assessment consists primarily of an evaluation of cash flow projections of the borrower to determine whether estimated cash flows are sufficient to repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. We recognize impairments on notes receivable when it is probable that principal and interest will not be received in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The amount of the impairment to be recognized generally is based on the fair value of the partnership’s real estate that represents the primary source of loan repayment. In certain instances where other sources of cash flow are available to repay the loan, the impairment is measured by discounting the estimated cash flows at the loan’s original effective interest rate.

     We recorded provisions for impairment losses on notes receivable of $0.5million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. We recorded $1.6 million in net recovery of impairment losses on notes receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2005. We will continue to evaluate the collectibility of these notes, and we will adjust related allowances in the future due to changes in market conditions and other factors.

Capitalized Costs

     We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital expenditure activities, including redevelopment and construction projects, other tangible property improvements, and replacements of existing property components. 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. Capitalized “indirect costs” represent an allocation of certain regional operating center and corporate level department costs, including payroll costs, that clearly relate to capital expenditure activities. We capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment and construction projects are in progress. Costs incurred in connection with capital expenditure activities are capitalized where the costs of the improvements or replacements exceed $250. We charge to expense as incurred costs that do not relate to capital expenditure activities, including ordinary repairs, maintenance, resident turnover costs and general and administrative expenses.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $5.8 million and $4.9 million of interest costs, respectively, and $16.7 million and $11.7 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, for continuing and discontinued operations, we capitalized $12.0 million and $7.4 million of interest costs, respectively, and $32.1 million and $23.9 million of site payroll and indirect costs, respectively.

Funds From Operations

     Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the guidance set forth by NAREIT’s April 1, 2002 White Paper, which we refer to as the White Paper. We calculate FFO (diluted) by subtracting redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock and adding back dividends/distributions on dilutive preferred securities. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts.

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, our FFO is calculated as follows (in thousands):

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of additional funds through working capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective working capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from property sales and proceeds from refinancings of existing mortgage loans and borrowings under new mortgage loans.

     Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to partners, and acquisitions of, and investments in, properties. We use our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that the cash provided by operating activities is not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity demands, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from property sales and refinancings, to help us meet our short-term liquidity demands. We use our revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations.

     At June 30, 2006, we had $323.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $161.7 million from December 31, 2005. This cash reflects $98.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of our CRA Preferred Stock on June 29, 2006 (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1) and proceeds from sales and refinancing transactions that had not been distributed or reinvested. On July 20, 2006, we paid $175.2 million to redeem all outstanding shares of our Class R Cumulative Preferred Stock (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1). At June 30, 2006, we had $341.3 million of restricted cash primarily consisting of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by unconsolidated partnerships. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our net cash provided by operating activities of $264.9 million was primarily from operating income from our consolidated properties, which is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of properties. Cash provided by operating activities increased $82.6 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in operating cash flow is primarily attributable improved property operations and the consolidation of properties in connection with the adoption of EITF 04-5 (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1) Deferred income taxes related to taxable gains on 2006 property sales and larger net releases of operating reserves from restricted cash also contributed to the increase.

Investing Activities

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net cash provided by our investing activities of $265.9 million primarily relates to proceeds received from the sale of properties, partially offset by capital expenditures.

     Although we hold all of our properties for investment, we may sell properties when they do not meet our investment criteria or are located in areas that we believe do not justify our continued investment when compared to alternative uses for our capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we sold 38 consolidated properties and the South Tower of the Flamingo South Beach property. These properties and the South Tower were sold for an aggregate sales price of $601.2 million and generated proceeds totaling $544.8 million, after the payment of transaction costs and the assumption of debt. Sales proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for other corporate purposes.

     We are currently marketing for sale certain properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, from time to time, we may market certain properties that are consistent with our long-term investment strategy but offer attractive returns, such as sales to buyers who intend to convert the properties to condominiums. Gross sales proceeds from 2006 dispositions are expected to be $850 million to $1,050 million, and we plan to use our share of the net proceeds from such dispositions to reduce debt, fund capital expenditures on existing assets, fund property and partnership acquisitions and for other operating needs and corporate purposes.

     Capital Expenditures

     We classify all capital spending as Capital Replacements (which we refer to as CR), Capital Improvements (which we refer to as CI), casualties or redevelopment. Non-redevelopment and non-casualty capitalizable expenditures are apportioned between CR and CI based on the useful life of the capital item under consideration and the period we have owned the property (i.e., the portion that was consumed during our ownership of the item represents CR; the portion of the item that was consumed prior to our ownership represents CI).

     For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we spent a total of $37.5 million on CR, which represents the share of expenditures that are deemed to replace the portion of acquired capital assets that was consumed during the period we have owned the asset. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we spent a total of $51.3 million, $20.2 million and $68.5 million, respectively, on CI, casualties and redevelopment. CI expenditures represent all non-redevelopment and non-casualty capital expenditures that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset as compared to its original purchase condition. Casualty expenditures represent capitalized costs incurred in connection with casualty losses and are associated with the restoration of the asset. A portion of the restoration costs may be reimbursed by insurance carriers subject to deductibles associated with each loss. Redevelopment expenditures represent expenditures that substantially upgrade the property.

     The table below details our share of actual spending, on both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, for CR, CI, casualties and redevelopment for the six months ended June 30, 2006 on a per unit and total dollar basis. Per unit numbers are based on approximately 137,767 average units in the quarter including 122,738 conventional and 15,029 affordable units. Average units are weighted for the portion of the period that we owned the property and represent effective units excluding non-managed units. Total capital expenditures are reconciled to our consolidated statement of cash flows for the same period (in thousands, except per unit amounts).
