ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On March 26, 2001, Apartment Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO"), completed the previously announced acquisition of Oxford Tax Exempt
Fund II Limited Partnership ("OTEF"). Pursuant to an agreement between AIMCO,
AIMCO's operating partnership, AIMCO/OTEF, LLC (a subsidiary of AIMCO's
operating partnership), and OTEF, AIMCO/OTEF, LLC merged into OTEF. OTEF was the
surviving entity in the merger and is now 100% owned by AIMCO and its
affiliates.

         At the effective time of the merger, each beneficial assignment of
limited partnership interest ("BAC"), other than any BAC held by an affiliate of
AIMCO or OTEF's associate general partner, converted into the right to receive
(i) 0.547 shares of AIMCO Class P 9% convertible cumulative preferred stock
("Class P Stock") (valued at $25 per share), or $13.675 of Class P Stock per
BAC, and (ii) 0.299 shares of AIMCO Class A common stock ("Class A Stock")
(valued at $48.509 per share), or $14.525 of Class A Stock per BAC. All
interests of OTEF's associate general partner converted into the right to
receive 19 shares of Class P Stock and 10.823 shares of Class A Stock. The value
of the Class A Stock was based upon the twenty-day average of the high and low
reported sale prices on the New York Stock Exchange beginning December 4, 2000.

         AIMCO previously acquired a 99% economic interest in OTEF's managing
general partner and slightly more than one-half of the general partner interests
in OTEF's associate general partner. In addition, on September 20, 2000, AIMCO
caused three of its executive officers to be appointed to the board of directors
of OTEF's managing general partner.

         Additional information with respect to the merger is contained in the
press release of Apartment Investment and Management Company, dated March 27,
2001, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
