Report of Independent Auditors

Pension Plan Committee
Apartment Investment and Management Company
401(k) Retirement Plan

        We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Apartment Investment and Management Company 401(k) Retirement Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at year end) as of December 31, 2002 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2002

1. Description of the Plan

        The following description of the Apartment Investment and Management Company 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

        The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Apartment Investment and Management Company (the "Company") who have at least 1/2 year of service and are age 18 or older. The Plan is administered by Fidelity Investments Retirement Services Company and trusteed by the Fidelity Management Trust Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

        Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from 1% to 20% of their compensation on a pretax basis, subject to certain statutory limitations. The Company, at its discretion, may make a matching contribution based on the first 6% of a participant's contribution, on behalf of each participant in the following manner: (1) for participants with six months to five years of service, a 50% match of the participant's contribution; (2) for participants with six to ten years of service, a 75% match of the participant's contribution; or (3) for participants with ten or more years of service, a 100% match of the participant's contribution.

        Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the account balance at the time of distribution.

        Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions. The Company's matching contributions are fully vested after three years of service. Upon withdrawal, the nonvested portion of a participant's account will be used by the Company to reduce the next employer contribution or pay expenses of the Plan. During 2002 and 2001, forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts were $149,873 and $140,461, respectively.

        Participants may borrow funds from their own account. Loans are permitted in amounts not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance for the preceding year or 50% of the value of the vested interest in the participant's account. Only one loan is permitted during any twelve month period.

        Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, each participant will become fully vested and will receive a total distribution of their account.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

        The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investments

        Investments other than participant loans are valued at fair value as determined by reference to quoted market values. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Use of Estimates

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

Income Tax Status

        The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated February 7, 2001, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor has indicated that it will take the necessary steps to maintain the Plan's qualified status.

3. Investments

        The Plan's investments are held in trust by Fidelity Management Trust, the trustee of the Plan. The Plan's investments in the various funds (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2002 as presented in the following table:
