                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial  statements  of  Century
Properties Fund XIV (the  "Partnership" or the "Registrant")  have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of Fox Capital Management  Corporation,  a
California   corporation  ("FCMC"  or  the  "Managing  General  Partner"),   all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating  results for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
may be expected  for the fiscal  year  ending  December  31,  2000.  For further
information,  refer  to the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes
thereto  included  in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

Principles of Consolidation

The  Partnership's  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of Century St.
Charleston,  LP,  Century  Sun River LP,  and  Century  Torrey  Pines,  LP.  The
Partnership  ultimately owns 100% of these  partnerships  and has the ability to
control the major operating and financial  policies of these  partnerships.  All
interpartnership transactions have been eliminated.

Note B - Transfer of Control

Pursuant  to a series  of  transactions  which  closed  on  October  1, 1998 and
February 26, 1999,  Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Insignia Properties Trust
merged into Apartment  Investment and Management Company  ("AIMCO"),  a publicly
traded real estate investment trust, with AIMCO being the surviving  corporation
(the "Insignia Merger").  As a result, AIMCO acquired 100% ownership interest in
the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner does not believe that
this  transaction  has had or will have a  material  effect on the  affairs  and
operations of the Partnership.

Note C - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The  general  partners  of the  Partnership  are FCMC and Fox  Realty  Investors
("FRI"),  a California general  partnership.  NPI Equity Investments II, Inc., a
Florida  corporation  and a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of AIMCO,  is the general
partner of FRI.

The  Partnership  has no employees  and is  dependent  on the  Managing  General
Partner  and  its  affiliates  for  the  management  and  administration  of all
partnership  activities.  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for payments to
affiliates for services and as  reimbursement  of certain  expenses  incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

The following  transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were
incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                                                  2000      1999
                                                                  (in thousands)

 Property management fees (included in operating expenses)        $ 73      $ 74
 Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
   general and administrative expenses)                             29        33

During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 and  1999,  affiliates  of the
Managing  General Partner were entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from all
the Partnership's  properties as compensation for providing property  management
services.  The  Partnership  paid to such affiliates  approximately  $73,000 and
$74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting  to  approximately  $29,000 and
$33,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Pursuant  to  the  Partnership  Agreement,  for  managing  the  affairs  of  the
Partnership,  the Managing  General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership
management fee equal to 10% of the  Partnership's  adjusted cash from operations
as  distributed.  Approximately  $40,000  in  Partnership  management  fees  are
included in general and administrative  expense for the three months ended March
31, 2000.  There were no fees  incurred  during the three months ended March 31,
1999.

In connection  with the  refinancing of Torrey Pines Village  Apartments and St.
Charleston Village Apartments,  the Partnership paid approximately $85,000 to an
affiliate  of the  Managing  General  Partner  as  allowed  per the  Partnership
Agreement.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  has  made  available  to the
Partnership  a  credit  line  of  up to  $150,000  per  property  owned  by  the
Partnership.  The Partnership has no outstanding  amounts due under this line of
credit. Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate
the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents, the
line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity.

AIMCO and its affiliates  currently own 39,564.84  limited  partnership units in
the Partnership  representing  approximately  61.05% of the outstanding units. A
number of these units were  acquired  pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or
its  affiliates.  It is possible that AIMCO or its  affiliates  will make one or
more additional offers to acquire  additional limited  partnership  interests in
the Partnership  for cash or in exchange for units in the operating  partnership
of AIMCO. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the
Units are  entitled to take action  with  respect to a variety of matters.  As a
result  of its  ownership  of  61.05% of the  outstanding  units,  AIMCO is in a
position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant.  When
voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired in a
manner  favorable  to the interest of the Managing  General  Partner  because of
their  affiliation with the Managing General Partner.  However,  Riverside Drive
LLC, an affiliate  which owns  26,610.05 of the limited  partnership  units,  is
required to vote its Units:  (i) against any  proposal to increase  the fees and
other  compensation  payable by the Partnership to the Managing  General Partner
and any of its  affiliates;  and (ii) with respect to any  proposal  made by the
Managing  General Partner or any of its affiliates,  in proportion to votes cast
by other  unit  holders.  Except for the  foregoing,  no other  limitations  are
imposed on Riverside's right to vote each Unit acquired.

Note D - Distributions

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  paid a cash
distribution  from operations of  approximately  $180,000 which was declared and
accrued at December 31, 1999 of which approximately  $176,000 ($2.72 per limited
partnership unit) was paid to the limited partners. In addition, the Partnership
declared a distribution of approximately  $2,260,000  ($2,215,000 to the limited
partners or $34.18 per limited  partnership  unit) in the first quarter of 2000,
consisting of approximately $1,903,000  (approximately $1,865,000 to the limited
partners or $28.78 per limited  partnership  unit) of  refinance  proceeds  from
Torrey  Pines  Village and St.  Charleston  Village and  approximately  $357,000
(approximately $350,000 to the limited partners or $5.40 per limited partnership
unit) from operations. Approximately $1,149,000 of this distribution was paid to
affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner  during the quarter ended March 31,
2000. The remaining $1,111,000 was paid subsequent to March 31, 2000. There were
no distributions paid or declared during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Note E - Extraordinary Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

On February 4, 2000, the Partnership refinanced the mortgages encumbering Torrey
Pines Village Apartments and St. Charleston Village Apartments.  The refinancing
replaced indebtedness of approximately $3,604,000 and $6,056,000,  respectively,
with new mortgages of $4,825,000  and  $7,325,000,  respectively.  The mortgages
were  refinanced  at a rate equal to 8.34%  compared to the prior rate of 9.88%,
and mature on March 1, 2020. Capitalized loan costs incurred for the refinancing
were  approximately  $114,000 and $118,000,  respectively.  The Partnership paid
approximately  $105,000  and  $177,000  in  prepayment  penalties  and wrote off
approximately  $21,000 and $32,000,  respectively,  in  unamortized  loan costs,
resulting in an extraordinary  loss on the early  extinguishment  of debt in the
amount of approximately $335,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

Note F - Segment Reporting

Description  of the types of products  and  services  from which the  reportable
segment derives its revenues:

The  Partnership  has  one  reportable  segment:   residential  properties.  The
Partnership's   residential   property   segment  consists  of  three  apartment
complexes,  two of which are  located  in Nevada and the other in  Arizona.  The
Partnership rents apartment units to tenants for terms that are typically twelve
months or less.

Measurement of segment profit or loss:

The  Partnership  evaluates  performance  based on segment  profit (loss) before
depreciation.  The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as
those of the Partnership as described in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Factors management used to identify the enterprise's reportable segments:

The  Partnership's  reportable  segment  consists of investment  properties that
offer similar products and services.  Although each of the investment properties
is  managed  separately,  they have been  aggregated  into one  segment  as they
provide services with similar types of products and customers.

Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, is shown
in the tables below. The "Other" column  represents  partnership  administration
related items and income and expense not allocated to the reportable segments.

Note G - Legal Proceedings

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial  Group,  Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs  named as defendants,  among others,
the  Partnership,  the Managing  General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging  the  acquisition  by Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia")  and  entities  which  were,  at one time,  affiliates  of Insignia
("Insignia  Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities,  past
tender offers by Insignia  Affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units, the
management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Note B - Transfer  of  Control").  The  plaintiffs  seek  monetary  damages and
equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25,
1998,  the Managing  General  Partner  filed a motion  seeking  dismissal of the
action.  In lieu of  responding  to the  motion,  the  plaintiffs  have filed an
amended  complaint.  The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended
complaint which were heard February 1999.  Pending the ruling on such demurrers,
settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and
filed a  Stipulation  of  Settlement,  settling  claims,  subject to final court
approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who own units as
of November 3, 1999.  Preliminary  approval of the  settlement  was  obtained on
November 3, 1999 from the Superior Court of the State of  California,  County of
San Mateo, at which time the Court set a final approval hearing for December 10,
1999.  Prior to the  December  10,  1999  hearing  the  Court  received  various
objections to the settlement,  including a challenge to the Court's  preliminary
approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of class  plaintiffs'  counsel
to enter the settlement.  On December 14, 1999, the Managing General Partner and
its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. Certain plaintiffs have filed
a motion to  disqualify  some of the  plaintiffs'  counsel  in the  action.  The
Managing  General  Partner does not anticipate  that costs  associated with this
case will be material to the Partnership's overall operations.

The  Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding  litigation that
is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The  matters  discussed  in this Form  10-QSB  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions,   competitive  and  regulatory   matters,   etc.)  detailed  in  the
disclosures  contained  in this  Form  10-QSB  and the  other  filings  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission made by the  Partnership  from time to time.
The  discussion  of  the  Partnership's  business  and  results  of  operations,
including  forward-looking  statements pertaining to such matters, does not take
into  account  the  effects of any  changes to the  Partnership's  business  and
results of operations.  Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from
those  projected in the  forward-looking  statements  as a result of a number of
factors, including those identified herein.

The Partnership's  investment  properties consist of three residential apartment
complexes.  The  following  table  sets  forth  the  average  occupancy  of  the
properties for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

                                                   Average Occupancy

      Property                                      2000       1999

      St. Charleston Village Apartments             93%        95%
        Las Vegas, Nevada
      Sun River Apartments                          82%        93%
        Tempe, Arizona
      Torrey Pines Village Apartments               94%        95%
        Las Vegas, Nevada

The Managing  General Partner  attributes the decrease in occupancy at Sun River
Apartments to a change in demographics in the area. The Managing General Partner
has increased its marketing efforts and has increased  concessions to tenants in
an attempt to increase occupancy.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net loss for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  was
approximately  $391,000 compared to net income of approximately $193,000 for the
corresponding  period in 1999.  The increase in net loss is partially due to the
extraordinary  loss on early  extinguishment of debt incurred on the refinancing
of Torrey  Pines  Village and St.  Charleston  Village  Apartments  as discussed
below. The Partnership  recorded a loss before the  extraordinary  loss on early
extinguishment  of debt of  approximately  $56,000.  The increase in loss before
early  extinguishment  of debt for the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 as
compared  to the  comparable  period  in 1999  is due to an  increase  in  total
expenses and a decrease in total  revenues.  The  increase in total  expenses is
primarily attributable to an increase in operating, depreciation,  property tax,
and general and  administrative  expenses.  Operating  expense  increased due to
increases in maintenance costs, primarily at Sun River Apartments, and increased
utility charges,  primarily at St.  Charleston  Village and Torrey Pines Village
Apartments.  Depreciation expense increased due to property additions during the
previous twelve months.  Property tax expense  increased at Sun River due to the
timing of receipt of the tax bills which impacted the accruals at March 31, 2000
and 1999 and an  increase in the  assessed  value of the  property.  General and
administrative expense increased primarily due to the Partnership management fee
associated with  distributions  from operations.  There was a distribution  from
operations  declared  during the first  quarter of 2000 but not during the first
quarter of 1999.  Included in general and administrative  expenses at both March
31, 2000 and 1999 are  reimbursements  to the Managing  General  Partner allowed
under  the  Partnership  Agreement.  In  addition,  costs  associated  with  the
quarterly and annual  communications  with investors and regulatory agencies and
the annual audit required by the  Partnership  Agreement are also included.

The decrease in total revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease in rental
income.  Rental  income  decreased  due to  decreases  in  occupancy  at all the
Partnership's  properties  and  increased  concession  costs  at St.  Charleston
Village  Apartments  and Sun River  Apartments.  These  decreases were partially
offset by an  increase  in the  average  rental  rates at all the  Partnership's
properties.

As part of the ongoing  business plan of the  Partnership,  the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market  environment of its investment  properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents,  maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting  the  Partnership  from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from
the burden of  inflation-related  increases in expenses by increasing  rents and
maintaining a high overall  occupancy  level.  However,  due to changing  market
conditions,  which  can  result  in the use of  rental  concessions  and  rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At  March  31,  2000,  the  Partnership   had  cash  and  cash   equivalents  of
approximately  $1,637,000 compared to approximately  $762,000 at March 31, 1999.
The increase in cash and cash  equivalents  for the three months ended March 31,
2000 from the  Partnership's  year ended  December  31,  1999 was  approximately
$808,000.  This  increase is due to  approximately  $624,000 of cash provided by
financing  activities and  approximately  $279,000 of cash provided by operating
activities  partially offset by approximately  $95,000 of cash used in investing
activities. Cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the
refinancing  of St.  Charleston  Village  and Torrey  Pines  Village  Apartments
partially  offset by  prepayment  penalties  paid,  loan costs  paid,  principal
payments made on mortgages encumbering the Partnership's  investment properties,
the payoff of  mortgages  encumbering  St.  Charleston  Village and Torrey Pines
Village Apartments,  and distributions paid to partners.  Cash used in investing
activities consisted of property improvements and replacements  partially offset
by net withdrawals from restricted escrows maintained by the mortgage lender.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  has  made  available  to the
Partnership  a  credit  line  of  up to  $150,000  per  property  owned  by  the
Partnership.  The Partnership has no outstanding  amounts due under this line of
credit. Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate
the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents, the
line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity.

The sufficiency of existing  liquid assets to meet future  liquidity and capital
expenditure   requirements   is  directly   related  to  the  level  of  capital
expenditures  required at the  properties  to  adequately  maintain the physical
assets and other  operating needs of the Partnership and to comply with Federal,
state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. Capital improvements planned
for the Partnership's properties are detailed below.

St. Charleston Village

The Partnership budgeted  approximately $180,000 of capital improvements for the
year 2000 at St.  Charleston  Village  consisting  primarily of carpet and vinyl
replacement,  water  meter  upgrades,  light  fixture  upgrades,  and  appliance
replacements.  During the three  months ended March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership
completed  approximately  $69,000  of  capital  improvements  at St.  Charleston
Village,  consisting  primarily  of carpet and vinyl  replacement,  water  meter
upgrades, and apartment baseboard  replacements.  These improvements were funded
from operating cash flow.

Sun River

The Partnership budgeted  approximately $121,000 of capital improvements for the
year 2000 at Sun River Apartments  consisting  primarily of carpet  replacement,
plumbing upgrades, air conditioning unit replacement, and appliance replacement.
During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  completed
approximately $49,000 of capital improvements at Sun River, consisting primarily
of floor covering  replacement,  plumbing  upgrades,  and air conditioning  unit
replacement. These improvements were funded from operating cash flow.

Torrey Pines Village

The Partnership budgeted  approximately $110,000 of capital improvements for the
year 2000 at Torrey Pines Village Apartments  consisting primarily of carpet and
vinyl  replacement,  light fixture upgrades,  appliance  replacement,  and other
building  improvements.  During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the
Partnership  completed  approximately  $35,000 of capital improvements at Torrey
Pines Village, consisting primarily of apartment baseboard replacements,  carpet
replacement,  and appliance  replacements.  These  improvements were funded from
operating cash flow and replacement reserves.

The additional  capital  expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available
from operations or from Partnership  reserves.  To the extent that such budgeted
capital improvements are completed,  the Partnership's  distributable cash flow,
if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

On February 4, 2000, the Partnership refinanced the mortgages encumbering Torrey
Pines Village Apartments and St. Charleston Village Apartments.  The refinancing
replaced indebtedness of approximately $3,604,000 and $6,056,000,  respectively,
with new mortgages of $4,825,000  and  $7,325,000,  respectively.  The mortgages
were  refinanced  at a rate equal to 8.34%  compared to the prior rate of 9.88%,
and mature on March 1, 2020. Capitalized loan costs incurred for the refinancing
were  approximately  $114,000 and $118,000,  respectively.  The Partnership paid
approximately  $105,000  and  $177,000  in  prepayment  penalties  and wrote off
approximately  $21,000 and $32,000,  respectively,  in  unamortized  loan costs,
resulting in an extraordinary  loss on the early  extinguishment  of debt in the
amount of approximately $335,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

The  Partnership's  assets  are  currently  thought  to be  sufficient  for  any
near-term needs  (exclusive of capital  improvements)  of the  Partnership.  The
remaining  mortgage  indebtedness  of  approximately  $6,111,000  at  Sun  River
Apartments,  which bears interest at 9.88% per annum, matures in July 2001, with
balloon payments totaling approximately $6,032,000 due at maturity. The Managing
General  Partner will attempt to refinance  and/or sell the properties  prior to
such  maturity  dates.  If the  properties  cannot be  refinanced  or sold for a
sufficient  amount  prior to  maturity,  the  Partnership  will risk losing such
properties through foreclosure.

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  paid a cash
distribution  from operations of  approximately  $180,000 which was declared and
accrued at December 31, 1999 of which approximately  $176,000 ($2.72 per limited
partnership unit) was paid to the limited partners. In addition, the Partnership
declared a distribution of approximately  $2,260,000  ($2,215,000 to the limited
partners or $34.18 per limited  partnership  unit) in the first quarter of 2000,
consisting of approximately $1,903,000  (approximately $1,865,000 to the limited
partners or $28.78 per limited  partnership  unit) of  refinance  proceeds  from
Torrey  Pines  Village and St.  Charleston  Village and  approximately  $357,000
(approximately $350,000 to the limited partners or $5.40 per limited partnership
unit) from operations. Approximately $1,149,000 of this distribution was paid to
affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner  during the quarter ended March 31,
2000. The remaining $1,111,000 was paid subsequent to March 31, 2000. There were
no distributions  paid or declared during the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Future cash  distributions  will depend on the levels of net cash generated from
operations, the availability of cash reserves and the timing of debt maturities,
refinancings and/or property sales. There can be no assurance, however, that the
Partnership  will generate  sufficient  funds from  operations,  after  required
capital  expenditures,  to  permit  distributions  to its  partners  during  the
remainder of 2000 or subsequent periods.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 1998, several putative unit holders of limited partnership units of the
Partnership  commenced an action  entitled  Rosalie  Nuanes,  et al. v. Insignia
Financial  Group,  Inc., et al. in the Superior Court of the State of California
for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs  named as defendants,  among others,
the  Partnership,  the Managing  General Partner and several of their affiliated
partnerships  and corporate  entities.  The action  purports to assert claims on
behalf of a class of limited  partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of
limited  partnerships  (including  the  Partnership)  which are named as nominal
defendants,  challenging  the  acquisition  by Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia")  and  entities  which  were,  at one time,  affiliates  of Insignia
("Insignia  Affiliates") of interests in certain general partner entities,  past
tender offers by Insignia  Affiliates to acquire limited  partnership units, the
management of partnerships  by Insignia  Affiliates and the Insignia Merger (see
"Part 1 - Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note B - Transfer
of  Control").  The  plaintiffs  seek  monetary  damages and  equitable  relief,
including  judicial  dissolution  of the  Partnership.  On June  25,  1998,  the
Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu
of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint. The
Managing  General  Partner filed  demurrers to the amended  complaint which were
heard  February  1999.   Pending  the  ruling  on  such  demurrers,   settlement
negotiations  commenced.  On November 2, 1999, the parties  executed and filed a
Stipulation of Settlement,  settling claims, subject to final court approval, on
behalf of the Partnership and all limited  partners who own units as of November
3, 1999. Preliminary approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999
from the  Superior  Court of the State of  California,  County of San Mateo,  at
which time the Court set a final approval  hearing for December 10, 1999.  Prior
to the December 10, 1999 hearing the Court  received  various  objections to the
settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon
the  alleged  lack of  authority  of class  plaintiffs'  counsel  to  enter  the
settlement.  On  December  14,  1999,  the  Managing  General  Partner  and  its
affiliates  terminated the proposed settlement.  Certain plaintiffs have filed a
motion to disqualify some of the plaintiffs' counsel in the action. The Managing
General Partner does not anticipate that costs associated with this case will be
material to the Partnership's overall operations.
