  <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The general partners of NTS-Properties  III,  NTS-Properties  IV,  NTS-Properties V,  NTS-Properties VI and NTS-Properties VII
  have reached an agreement in principle with  representatives  of the class of plaintiffs to settle the action captioned <I>Buchanan et al.
  v.  NTS-Properties  Associates  et al.</I> (Case No. C 01-05090).  The action was  originally  filed in the Superior  Court of the State of
  California  for the County of Contra Costa against the general  partners and several  affiliated  individuals  and entities in December
  2001.  The  settlement is subject to, among other things,  preparing and executing a settlement  agreement to be presented to the court
  for  preliminary  and final  approval.  The proposed  settlement  would  include  releases for all of the parties for any of the claims
  asserted in the Buchanan  litigation and the class action and  derivative  litigation  filed in the Circuit Court for Jefferson  County
  Kentucky and captioned <I>Bohm et al. v. J.D. Nichols et al.</I> (Case No. 03-CI-01740).</P>
  
  <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As part of the proposed  settlement,  the general partners have agreed to pursue a merger of the partnerships along with other
  real estate entities  affiliated with the general  partners into a newly-formed  partnership.  The general  partners would seek to list
  the limited partnership  interests to be issued in the merger on a national securities  exchange.  The merger will be subject to, among
  other things,  approval by a majority of the limited partner  interests in each  partnership,  final approval of the court in which the
  <I>Buchanan</I> litigation is pending and receipt by the general  partners of an opinion  regarding the fairness of the merger to the limited
  partners from a financial  point of view. An  independent  appraiser has been retained to appraise all of the  properties  owned by the
  existing  partnerships and affiliated  entities and that would be owned after the merger by the new partnership.  The appraisal will be
  used in establishing  exchange values which will determine the number of interests that will be issued to each existing  partnership in
  the merger.  The interests in the  newly-formed  partnership  will be subsequently  distributed to the limited and general  partners in
  each existing partnership as though each partnership had been liquidated.</P>
  
  <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>The merger will also be subject to the  effectiveness of a joint  prospectus/consent  solicitation  statement to be filed with
  the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  This  announcement is neither an offer to purchase,  a solicitation of an offer to sell nor the
  solicitation  of a proxy to vote,  any of the  limited  partner  interests  of the  partnerships.  Each  limited  partner  is  strongly
  encouraged to read the  prospectus/consent  statement and any other  relevant  documents  when filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
  Commission.  These  documents  will  contain  important  information  and may be  obtained  free of  charge  on the  SEC's  website  at
  <U>www.sec.gov</U>, or on the partnerships' website at <U>www.ntsdevelopment.com.</U></B></P>
