Some of the statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly those included in Part I, Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), may be considered “forward-looking statements” because the statements relate to matters which have not yet occurred. For example, phrases such as “we anticipate,” “believe” or “expect” indicate that it is possible that the event anticipated, believed or expected may not occur. If these events do not occur, the result which we expected also may, or may not, occur in a different manner, which may be more or less favorable to us. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements included in MD&A, or elsewhere in this report, reflect our general partner’s best judgment based on known factors, but involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Any forward-looking information provided by us pursuant to the safe harbor established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

NTS-PROPERTIES VI,
A MARYLAND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with NTS-Properties VI’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2004. In the opinion of our general partner, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period. As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q the terms “we,” “us” or “our,” as the context requires, may refer to NTS-Properties VI or its interests in its properties and joint ventures.

Note 1 — Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned properties and majority-owned joint ventures. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Other assets include minority interest in our joint venture properties totaling approximately $732,000 and $713,000 as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. These amounts have been derived primarily from distributions of the joint ventures in excess of the respective minority partners’ historical investment in the joint ventures used for financial reporting purposes. This amount will be realized upon the sale of the respective joint venture property or dissolution of the respective joint venture. The underlying assets of the joint ventures are assessed for asset impairment on a periodic basis.

Minority Interest

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 was effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. On November 7, 2003, FASB Staff Position No. FAS 150-3 was issued, which deferred for an indefinite period the classification and measurement provisions, but not the disclosure provisions of SFAS 150.

7


We consolidate certain properties that are also owned by affiliated parties that have noncontrolling interests. In certain cases, the applicable joint venture agreement provides for a contractual termination date of the agreement based on certain specified events. SFAS 150 describes this type of arrangement as a “limited-life subsidiary”. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2004, the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests is approximately $552,000. This settlement value is based on estimated third party consideration paid to the joint venture upon disposition of each property and is net of all other assets and liabilities including any yield maintenance that would have been due on that date had the mortgage encumbering the properties been prepaid on June 30, 2004. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties related to the operations and sale of real estate assets, among other things, the amount of any potential distribution to the noncontrolling interests is likely to change.

Note 2 — Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 — Concentration of Credit Risk

We own and operate, either wholly or through a joint venture, five apartment communities — Park Place Apartments Phases I and III, in Lexington, Kentucky, Willow Lake Apartments, in Indianapolis, Indiana and Sabal Park and Golf Brook Apartments, in Orlando, Florida. We also own and operate, through a joint venture, a commercial rental property — Plainview Point Office Center Phase III, in Louisville, Kentucky. Substantially all of the commercial property’s tenants are local businesses or are businesses which have operations in the Louisville area.

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents. We maintain our cash accounts primarily with banks located in Kentucky. Cash balances are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000 per bank account. We may at times, in certain accounts, have deposits in excess of $100,000.

Note 4 — Cash and Equivalents

We have a cash management program which provides for the overnight investment of excess cash balances. Under an agreement with a bank, excess cash is invested in a repurchase agreement for U.S. government or agency securities each night. As of June 30, 2004, approximately $168,000 of our overnight investment was included in cash and equivalents.

8


Note 5 — Cash and Equivalents — Restricted

Cash and equivalents — restricted represents funds received for apartment community security deposits and funds which have been escrowed with mortgage companies for property taxes and insurance in accordance with the loan agreements.

Note 6 — Basis of Property and Depreciation

Land, buildings and amenities are stated at cost. Costs directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a project are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which are 5-30 years for land improvements, 5-30 years for buildings and improvements, 5-30 years for amenities and the applicable lease term for tenant improvements. The aggregate cost of our properties for federal tax purposes is approximately $76,553,000.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” specifies circumstances in which certain long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows, the asset’s carrying value must be written down to fair value. There were no impairment losses during any of the periods presented.

As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of long-term debt is approximately $31,861,000, based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for mortgages with similar terms and average maturities.

On May 24, 2004, we obtained a note payable from a finance company in the amount of $19,216. The note bears interest at 8.5% and the maturity date is July 15, 2006. The note was obtained to purchase four maintenance golf carts, two for Golf Brook Apartments and two for Sabal Park Apartments.

There can be no assurances that NTS Development Company will continue to defer amounts due them past March 31, 2005.

Note 9 — Related Party Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we were charged $14,013 and $14,822, respectively, for property maintenance fees from an affiliate of NTS Development Company.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies

As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Our compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on our current properties or on properties that we may acquire in the future.

On April 16, 2004, a tenant leased approximately 11,000 square feet of Plainview Point Office Center Phase III. The lease agreement calls for tenant finish, estimated to cost approximately $411,000. The tenant finish cost will be funded by loan proceeds from a note payable obtained October 1, 2003 (see Note 7 “Mortgages and Note Payable” for further discussion on our loans) and cash reserves. Through June 30, 2004, approximately $401,000 of the tenant finish cost has been incurred.

Litigation

On December 12, 2001, three individuals filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Contra Costa (the “Superior Court”) originally captioned Buchanan, et al. v. NTS-Properties Associates, et al. (Case No. C 01-05090) against the general partners (the “General Partners”) of NTS-Properties III, NTS-Properties IV, NTS-Properties V, NTS-Properties

12


VI and NTS-Properties VII, Ltd. (the “Partnerships”), as well as several individuals and entities affiliated with us. The action purported to bring claims on behalf of a class of limited partners. These claims were based on, among other things, tender offers made by the Partnerships and an affiliate of the General Partners, as well as the operation of the Partnerships by the General Partners. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the prices at which limited partnership interests were purchased in these tender offers were too low. The plaintiffs sought monetary damages and equitable relief, including an order directing the disposition of the properties owned by the Partnerships and the distribution of the proceeds. No amounts have been accrued as a liability for this action in our financial statements. Under an indemnification agreement with our general partner, we are responsible for the costs of defending any such action.

On February 27, 2003, two individuals filed a class and derivative action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Kentucky captioned Bohm, et al. v. J.D. Nichols, et al. (Case No. 03-CI-01740) against certain of the General Partners and several individuals and entities affiliated with us. The complaint was amended to include the general partner of NTS-Properties III and the general partner of NTS-Properties Plus Ltd., which is no longer in existence. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs purport to bring claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of us and the Partnerships based on alleged overpayment of fees, prohibited investments, improper failures to make distributions, purchases of limited partnerships interests at insufficient prices and other violations of the limited partnership agreements. The plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount, an accounting, the appointment of a receiver or liquidating trustee, the entry of an order of dissolution against the Partnerships, a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. No amounts have been accrued as a liability for this action in our financial statements. Our general partner and legal counsel believe that this action is without merit and are vigorously defending it.

On June 20, 2003, the General Partners reached an agreement in principle with the representatives of the class of plaintiffs to settle the Buchanan litigation. This agreed upon settlement includes releases for all of the parties for all of the claims asserted in the Buchanan litigation and the Bohm litigation. As part of the agreed upon settlement, the General Partners agreed to pursue a merger of the Partnerships and other real estate entities affiliated with the General Partners into a newly-formed entity named NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership (“NTS Realty”). NTS Development Company agreed to pay the Partnerships $1,500,000 on the closing date of the merger. We expect to receive $723,000 of this payment.

On December 5, 2003, the General Partners, certain of their affiliates and the class of plaintiffs in the Buchanan litigation jointly filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Superior Court. The Settlement Agreement sets forth in writing the terms of the agreed upon settlement the parties reached on June 20, 2003. On February 26, 2004, the Superior Court preliminarily approved the Settlement Agreement as within the range of reasonableness and that it is fair, just and adequate to the class of plaintiffs. The Superior Court scheduled a hearing to finally determine whether the Settlement Agreement is in the best interests of the class of plaintiffs and whether the Buchanan litigation should be dismissed with prejudice.

On March 2, 2004, we, along with all defendants, filed a Motion to Dismiss the Bohm litigation. After the Motion to Dismiss was fully briefed, the settlement agreement in the Buchanan litigation received final court approval. The Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Kentucky, instructed the plaintiffs in the Bohm litigation to file an amended complaint in light of the approved settlement of the Buchanan litigation. The plaintiffs in the Bohm litigation filed a corrected Second Amended Complaint on August 11, 2004. Our general partner believes that the claims asserted in the corrected Second Amended Complaint have no merit.

On May 6, 2004, the Superior Court granted its final approval of the Settlement Agreement. At the final hearing, any member of the class of plaintiffs was given the opportunity to object to the final approval of the Settlement Agreement, the entry of a final judgment dismissing with prejudice the Buchanan litigation, or an application of an award for attorneys’ fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel. The Superior Court’s order provides, among other things, that: (1) the Settlement Agreement, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the proposed merger of the Partnerships into NTS Realty, are fair, reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of the class of plaintiffs; (2) the plaintiffs’ complaint and each and every cause of action and claim set forth therein is dismissed with prejudice; (3) each class member is barred from (a) transferring, selling or otherwise disposing of (other than by operation of law) their interests until the earlier of the closing date of the merger, the termination of the settlement or June 30, 2004; and (4) each class member who requested to be excluded from the settlement released their claims in the Bohm litigation.

On June 11, 2004, Joseph Bohm and David Duval, class members who objected to the Settlement Agreement but were overruled by the Superior Court, filed an appeal in the Court of Appeals of the State of California, first Appellate District. Our general partner believes that this appeal has no merit and intends to defend it and the decision of the Superior Court.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, our share of the legal costs for the Buchanan and Bohm litigations was approximately $137,000 and $158,000, respectively, which was included in our professional and administrative expenses.

We do not believe there is any other litigation threatened against us other than routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, some of which is expected to be covered by insurance, none of which is expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, except as discussed herein.

Proposed Merger

As part of the Settlement Agreement, our general partner and the general partners of the four public partnerships affiliated with us, have agreed to pursue a merger of the partnerships and several other affiliated real estate entities into a newly formed limited partnership known as NTS Realty. The merger is subject to, among other things, approval by a majority of the limited partner interests in each partnership. We may not seek the approval of the limited partners until a filing made by NTS Realty with the Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective. For the six months

14


ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, our share of the legal and professional fees for the proposed merger was approximately $313,000 and $85,000, respectively.

On February 4, 2004, NTS Realty filed a joint consent solicitation statement/prospectus on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The solicitation statement/prospectus presents the merger of NTS-Properties III; NTS-Properties IV; NTS-Properties V; NTS-Properties VI; and NTS-Properties VII, Ltd. with NTS Realty. Concurrent with the merger, ORIG, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, which is affiliated with our general partner, will contribute substantially all its real estate assets and all of its liabilities to NTS Realty.

On June 24, 2004 and August 13, 2004, NTS Realty filed first and second amendments, respectively, to Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Both amendments are in response to comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 11 — Segment Reporting

Our reportable operating segments include Apartment Community and Commercial Real Estate Operations. The apartment community operations represent our ownership and operating results relative to the apartment complexes known as Willow Lake, Park Place Phase I, Park Place Phase III, Sabal Park and Golf Brook. The commercial operations represent our ownership and operating results relative to suburban commercial office space known as Plainview Point Office Center Phase III.

The financial information of the operating segments has been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which our management internally reports financial information for the purposes of assisting in making internal operating decisions. Our management evaluated performance based on stand-alone operating segment net income. Professional and administrative expenses, interest and other income, depreciation, interest expense and minority interest income recorded at the Partnership level have not been allocated to the segments.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 and the cautionary statements below.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances. These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. The following disclosure discusses judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties known which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions.

Impairment and Valuation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” specifies circumstances in which certain long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows, the asset’s carrying value must be written down to fair value. In determining the value of an investment property and whether the investment property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures and interest rates. The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on the market in which the investment property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age and physical condition among others. All of these factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular investment property. The value of any particular investment property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these factors, either individually or taken as a whole. If the actual results differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.

20


Recognition of Rental Income

Our apartment communities have operating leases with apartment residents with terms generally of twelve months or less. We recognize rental revenue related to these leases on an accrual basis when due from residents. In accordance with our standard lease terms, rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis.

Our commercial property leases are accounted for as operating leases. We accrue minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. We structure our leases to allow us to recover a significant portion of our property operating, real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance expenses from our commercial tenants. Property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance, security, janitorial, landscaping and other administrative expenses. We accrue reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. We also receive estimated payments for these reimbursements from substantially all our tenants throughout the year. We do this to reduce the risk of loss on uncollectible accounts once we perform the final year-end billings for recoverable expenditures. We recognize the difference between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year and we believe these differences were not material in any period presented.

Under GAAP, we are required to recognize rental income based on the effective monthly rent for each lease. The effective monthly rent is equal to the average monthly rent during the term of the lease, not the stated rent for any particular month. The process, known as “straight-lining” or “stepping” rent generally has the effect of increasing rental revenues during the early phases of a lease and decreasing rental revenues in the latter phases of a lease. Due to the impact of “straight- lining,” cash collected for rent exceeded rental income by approximately $8,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and rental income exceeded cash collected for rent by approximately $100 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. If rental income calculated on a straight-line basis exceeds the cash rent due under the lease, the difference is recorded as an increase in deferred rent receivable and included as a component of accounts receivable on the relevant balance sheet. If the cash rent due under the lease exceeds rental income calculated on a straight-line basis, the difference is recorded as a decrease in deferred rent receivable and is recorded as a decrease of accounts receivable on the relevant balance sheet. We defer recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage or excess rent, until the specified target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances are generally taken for tenants with outstanding balances due for a period greater than ninety days and for tenants with potentially uncollectible outstanding balances due for a period less than ninety days.

Recognition of Lease Termination Income

We recognize lease termination income upon receipt of the income. We accrue lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and the tenant is no longer occupying the property.

21


Cost Capitalization and Depreciation Policies

We review all expenditures and capitalize any item exceeding $1,000 deemed to be an upgrade or a tenant improvement with an expected useful life greater than one year. Land, buildings and amenities are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and improvements have estimated useful lives between 5-30 years, land improvements have estimated useful lives of between 5-30 years, and amenities have estimated useful lives between 5-30 years.

Minority Interest

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 was effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. On November 7, 2003, FASB Staff Position No. FAS 150-3 was issued, which deferred for an indefinite period the classification and measurement provisions, but not the disclosure provisions of SFAS 150.

We consolidate certain properties that are also owned by affiliated parties that have noncontrolling interests. In certain cases, the applicable joint venture agreement provides for a contractual termination date of the agreement based on certain specified events. SFAS 150 describes this type of arrangement as a “limited-life subsidiary”. SFAS 150 requires the disclosure of the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests. As of June 30, 2004, the estimated settlement value of these noncontrolling interests is approximately $552,000. This settlement value is based on estimated third party consideration paid to the joint venture upon disposition of each property and is net of all other assets and liabilities including any yield maintenance that would have been due on that date had the mortgage encumbering the properties been prepaid on June 30, 2004. Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties related to the operations and sale of real estate assets, among other things, the amount of any potential distribution to the noncontrolling interests is likely to change.

Results of Operations

The following tables include our selected summarized operating data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. This data is presented to provide assistance in identifying trends in our operating results and other factors affecting our business. This data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, our operating results have been negatively impacted by the expenses related to our proposed merger. Residential net revenues have decreased due to a decrease in average rent per unit. Commercial net revenues have increased slightly as a result of higher average occupancy. Operating expense and operating expenses — affiliated have not changed significantly. Real estate taxes have decreased due to decreased tax assessments at Willow Lake Apartments and Park Place Apartments Phase I, which were partially offset by an increased tax

assessment at Plainview Point Office Center Phase III and by additional Plainview Point Office Center Phase III property tax that was contested in 2003, but overruled in 2004. Depreciation and interest expense have remained fairly constant.

Rental income and tenant reimbursements generated by our properties and joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

In an effort to continue to improve occupancy at our apartment communities, we have an on-site leasing staff, who are employees of NTS Development Company, at each of the apartment communities. The staff handles all on-site visits from potential tenants, coordinates local advertising with NTS Development Company’s marketing staff, makes visits to local companies to promote fully furnished apartments, and negotiates lease renewals with current residents.

The leasing and renewal negotiations for our commercial property are handled by leasing agents, who are employees of NTS Development Company, located in Louisville, Kentucky. The leasing agents are located in the same city as the commercial property. All advertising for the commercial property is coordinated by NTS Development Company’s marketing staff located in Louisville, Kentucky.

The following discussion relating to changes in our results of operations includes only material line items within our Statements of Operations or line items for which there was a material change between the three and six months ending June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Rental Income and Tenant Reimbursements

Rental income and tenant reimbursements did not change significantly between the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There are no offsetting material changes.

25


Rental income and tenant reimbursements were approximately $5,272,000 and $5,459,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease of $187,000, or 3%, is primarily the result of a decrease in average income per unit at Willow Lake Apartments, Sabal Park Apartments and Golf Brook Apartments and decreased average occupancy at Park Place Apartments Phase I. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in average occupancy at Plainview Point Office Center Phase III.

Operating Expenses and Operating Expenses – Affiliated

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $749,000 and $820,000, respectively. The decrease of $71,000, or 9%, is primarily due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance costs at Sabal Park Apartments and Park Place Apartments Phase I, a decrease in bad debt expense at Sabal Park Apartments and a decrease in exterior landscaping costs at Park Place Apartments Phase I and III for ice storm cleanup. The decrease is partially offset by an increase in insurance expense at Sabal Park Apartments and Golf Brook Apartments.

Operating expenses did not change significantly between the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There are no offsetting material changes.

Our operating expenses – affiliated did not change significantly between the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There were no offsetting material changes.

Operating expenses – affiliated are for the services performed by employees of NTS Development Company, an affiliate of our General Partner. These employee services include property management, leasing, maintenance, security and other services necessary to manage and operate our business.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes were approximately $97,000 and $223,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to approximately $393,000 and $617,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease of $296,000, or 75%, and $394,000, or 64%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to decreased tax assessments at Willow Lake Apartments and Park Place Apartments Phase I. The decrease was partially offset by an increased tax assessment at Plainview Point Office Center Phase III. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 2003 was also partially offset by additional Plainview Point Office Center Phase III property tax that was contested in 2003, but overruled in 2004.

26


Professional and Administrative Expenses and Professional and Administrative Expenses –Affiliated

Professional and administrative expenses were approximately $191,000 and $530,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to approximately $219,000 and $430,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease of $28,000, or 13%, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily the result of decreased legal and professional fees related to litigation filed by limited partners. The decrease is partially offset by increased costs in relation to our proposed merger. The increase of $100,000, or 23%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily the result of increased costs in relation to our proposed merger. See Item 1 – Note 10 for information regarding our proposed merger.

Our professional and administrative expenses – affiliated did not change significantly between the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There were no offsetting material changes.

Professional and administrative expenses – affiliated are for the services performed by employees of NTS Development Company, an affiliate of our General Partner. These employee services include legal, financial and other services necessary to manage and operate our business.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Our depreciation and amortization expenses did not change significantly between the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There were no offsetting material changes.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense did not change significantly between the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. There were no offsetting material changes.

Loss on Disposal of Assets

Loss on disposal of assets was approximately $4,000 and $4,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to approximately $95,000 and $104,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease of $91,000, or 96%, and $100,000, or 96%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to retirements made in 2003 at Willow Lake Apartments and at Sabal Park Apartments before the assets were fully depreciated.

     Net increase (decrease) in cash and equivalents           $             246,355 $             (392,532)

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from approximately $1,035,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $1,811,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily driven by the change in accounts payable. The increased accounts payable includes amounts due for professional services related to our litigation filed by limited partners and our proposed merger.

Net cash used in investing activities increased from approximately $406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $499,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net cash used was primarily due to increased additions to land, buildings and amenities primarily at Plainview Point Office Center Phase III.

Net cash used in financing activities increased from approximately $1,021,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $1,066,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of increased principal payments made in 2004, partially offset by a note payable in the amount of $19,216 obtained during the second quarter of 2004 for the purchase of four golf carts. See Item 1 — Note 7 for information regarding our mortgages and notes payable.

Due to the fact that no distributions were made during the six months ended June 30, 2004 or 2003, the table which presents that portion of the distributions that represents a return of capital in accordance with GAAP has been omitted.

Future Liquidity

Our future liquidity depends significantly on our properties’ occupancy remaining at a level which provides for debt payments and adequate working capital, currently and in the future. If occupancy were to fall below that level and remain at or below that level for a significant period of time, our ability to make payments due under our debt agreements and to continue paying daily operational costs would be greatly impaired. In addition, we may be required to obtain financing in connection with the capital improvements and leasing costs described below.

28


NTS Development Company has agreed to defer, until March 31, 2005, amounts owed to them by us as of December 31, 2003 and those amounts accruing from January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, other than as permitted by our cash flows. There can be no assurances that NTS Development Company will continue to defer amounts due them past March 31, 2005. If these amounts are not deferred, such action could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. Payment of such deferred amounts would be dependent upon available operating cash flow or funding from potential third-party resources in the form of loans or advances.

The primary source of future liquidity is expected to be cash from operations. It is anticipated that the cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our day to day working capital needs. Cash reserves (which are unrestricted cash and equivalents as shown on our balance sheet) were $371,697 on June 30, 2004.

The demand on future liquidity is anticipated to increase as a result of the replacement of the roofs at both Willow Lake Apartments (26 buildings) and Park Place Apartments Phase I (23 buildings) all of which were installed using shingles produced by a single manufacturer. The shingles appear to contain defects which may cause roofs to fail. As the shingle manufacturer has declared bankruptcy, we do not expect to be able to recover any of the costs of the roof replacements in the event of any such failures. We do not have sufficient working capital to make all of the roof replacements at one time. As of June 30, 2004, eight buildings at Willow Lake Apartments have had roofs replaced while no roofs have been replaced at Park Place Apartments Phase I. The total cost of replacing all of the remaining roofs is estimated to be $820,000 ($20,000 per building).

The demand on future liquidity is also anticipated to increase as we continue our efforts in the leasing of Plainview Point Office Center Phase III. One tenant which occupied 16,895 square feet, or 27%, of the building, vacated its space on November 30, 2001. As a result of this vacancy, there will likely be a protracted period extending beyond 2004 for the property to become fully leased again. On April 16, 2004, a tenant leased approximately 11,000 square feet of Plainview Point Office Center Phase III. The lease agreement calls for tenant finish, estimated to cost approximately $411,000. The tenant finish cost will be funded by loan proceeds from a note payable obtained October 1, 2003 and cash reserves. Through June 30, 2004, approximately $401,000 of the tenant finish cost has been incurred. It is estimated that an additional $54,000 will be needed for tenant finish costs in order to return the building to full occupancy.

The demands on liquidity as discussed above will be managed by our general partner using cash provided by operations, cash reserves, deferral of amounts owed to NTS Development Company, and existing or additional financing secured by our properties. Typically, these capital improvements and leasing costs require use of existing financing or additional financing. There can be no guarantee that such funds will be available at which time our general partner will manage the demand on liquidity according to our best interest.

Leases at Plainview Point Office Center Phase III provide for tenants to contribute toward the payment of common area maintenance expenses, insurance, utilities and real estate taxes. These lease provisions, along with the fact that residential leases are generally for a period of one year, should protect our operations from the impact of inflation and changing prices.

We had no other material commitments for renovations or capital expenditures as of June 30, 2004.

Proposed Merger

As part of the Settlement Agreement, our general partner and the general partners of the four public partnerships affiliated with us, have agreed to pursue a merger of the partnerships and several other affiliated real estate entities into a newly formed limited partnership known as NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership (“NTS Realty”). The merger is subject to, among other things, approval by a majority of the limited partner interests in each partnership. We may not seek the approval of the limited partners until a filing made by NTS Realty with the Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, our share of the legal and professional fees for the proposed merger was approximately $313,000 and $85,000, respectively.

On February 4, 2004, NTS Realty filed a joint consent solicitation statement/prospectus on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The solicitation statement/prospectus presents the merger of NTS-Properties III; NTS-Properties IV; NTS-Properties V; NTS-Properties VI; and NTS-Properties VII, Ltd. with NTS Realty. Concurrent with the merger, ORIG, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, which is affiliated with our general partner, will contribute substantially all its real estate assets and all of its liabilities to NTS Realty.

On June 24, 2004 and August 13, 2004, NTS Realty filed first and second amendments, respectively, to Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Both amendments are in response to comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. All of our debt bears interest at a fixed rate with the exception of a note payable of $400,000 that bears interest at the Prime Rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not significantly increase annual interest expense on the variable rate note. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $1,337,000 decrease in the fair value of debt.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

Our General Partner, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004. There were no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

On May 6, 2004, the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Contra Costa granted its final approval of the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) jointly filed by the general partners (the “General Partners”) of NTS-Properties III, NTS-Properties IV, NTS-Properties V, NTS-Properties VI and NTS-Properties VII, Ltd. (the “Partnerships”), along with certain of their affiliates, with the class of plaintiffs in the action originally captioned Buchanan, et al. v. NTS-Properties Associates, et al. (Case No. C 01-05090) on December 5, 2003. At the final hearing, any member of the class of plaintiffs was given the opportunity to object to the final approval of the Settlement Agreement, the entry of a final judgment dismissing with prejudice the Buchanan litigation, or an application of an award for attorneys’ fees and expenses to plaintiffs’ counsel. The Superior Court’s order provides, among other things, that: (1) the Settlement Agreement, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including the proposed merger of the Partnerships into NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership, are fair, reasonable and adequate, and in the best interests of the class of plaintiffs; (2) the plaintiffs’ complaint and each and every cause of action and claim set forth therein is dismissed with prejudice; (3) each class member is barred from (a) transferring, selling or otherwise disposing of (other than by operation of law) their interests until the earlier of the closing date of the merger, the termination of the settlement or June 30, 2004; and (4) each class member who requested to be excluded from the settlement released their claims in the Bohm litigation.

On June 11, 2004, Joseph Bohm and David Duval, class members who objected to the Settlement Agreement but were overruled by the Superior Court, filed an appeal in the Court of Appeals of the State of California, first Appellate District.

Items 2 through 5 are omitted because these items are inapplicable or the answers to the items are negative.
