RE:   Century Properties Fund XIV
      Form 10-KSB
      File No. 0-9242


To Whom it May Concern:

The  accompanying  Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1999 describes a
change in the method of  accounting to  capitalize  exterior  painting and major
landscaping,   which  would  have  been  expensed  under  the  old  policy.  The
Partnership believes that this accounting principle change is preferable because
it  provides a better  matching  of  expenses  with the  related  benefit of the
expenditures and it is consistent with industry practice and the policies of the
Managing General Partner.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned with any questions or comments
that you might have.

Very truly yours,



Stephen Waters
Real Estate Controller

                                     PART I

Item 1.     Description of Business

Century Properties Fund XIV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized in
1978 as a California limited  partnership under the Uniform Limited  Partnership
Act of the California  Corporation Code. Fox Capital Management Corporation (the
"Managing General Partner" or "FCMC"), a California corporation,  and Fox Realty
Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership, are the general partners of
the Partnership.  The Managing General Partner,  as well as the managing general
partner of FRI, are subsidiaries of Apartment  Investment and Management Company
("AIMCO").  The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  that  the  Partnership  is to
terminate on December 31, 2012 unless terminated prior to such date.

From June 1979 through December 1979, the Partnership offered and sold, pursuant
to a Registration  statement filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
64,806 Limited  Partnership Units aggregating  $64,806,000.  The net proceeds of
this  offering  were used to  purchase  nineteen  income-producing  real  estate
properties, or interest therein. Since its initial offering, the Partnership has
not received,  nor are limited  partners  required to make,  additional  capital
contributions.  The  Partnership,  which is engaged in the business of operating
and  holding  real  estate  properties  for  investment,  presently  owns  three
residential  apartment  complexes,  two of which are  located  in Nevada and the
other is located in  Arizona.  See "Item 2.  Description  of  Properties"  for a
further description of the Partnership's properties.

The Partnership  has no employees.  Management and  administrative  services are
performed by the Managing General Partner and by agents retained by the Managing
General Partner. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has been providing
property management services for the Partnership's investment properties.

The  real  estate  business  in which  the  Partnership  is  engaged  is  highly
competitive.  There are other  residential  properties within the market area of
the Partnership's properties.  The number and quality of competitive properties,
including  those which may be managed by an affiliate  of the  Managing  General
Partner,  in such market area could have a material  effect on the rental market
for the  apartments at the  Partnership's  properties  and the rents that may be
charged  for  such  apartments.  While  the  Managing  General  Partner  and its
affiliates  own and/or  control a significant  number of apartment  units in the
United  States,  such  units  represent  an  insignificant  percentage  of total
apartment units in the United States and competition for apartments is local.

Both  the  income  and  expenses  of  operating  the  properties  owned  by  the
Partnership are subject to factors outside of the Partnership's control, such as
changes in the supply and demand for similar  properties  resulting from various
market  conditions,  increases/decreases  in unemployment or population  shifts,
changes in the availability of permanent mortgage  financing,  changes in zoning
laws,  or changes in patterns or needs of users.  In  addition,  there are risks
inherent in owning and operating residential  properties because such properties
are  susceptible to the impact of economic and other  conditions  outside of the
control of the Partnership.

There have been, and it is possible there may be other, Federal, state and local
legislation  and  regulations   enacted   relating  to  the  protection  of  the
environment.  The Partnership is unable to predict the extent,  if any, to which
such new  legislation  or  regulations  might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership  monitors its properties for evidence of pollutants,  toxins and
other dangerous substances, including the presence of asbestos. In certain cases
environmental testing has been performed,  which resulted in no material adverse
conditions or liabilities.  In no case has the Partnership  received notice that
it is a potentially  responsible party with respect to an environmental clean up
site.

A further description of the Partnership's business is included in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation"  included in "Item 6" of this Form
10-KSB.

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 AIMCO, a publicly traded real estate  investment  trust,  with AIMCO
being the surviving  corporation  (the "Insignia  Merger").  As a result,  AIMCO
ultimately 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.

Item 2.     Description of Properties

The  following  table  sets  forth  the   Partnership's   remaining   investment
properties:

</TABLE>

(1)   See "Item 7. Financial  Statements - Note D" for information  with respect
      to the  Partnership's  ability to prepay  these  loans and other  specific
      details about these loans.

(2)   On February 2, 2000, the Partnership  refinanced the mortgages encumbering
      Torrey Pines  Apartments and St.  Charleston  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
      $110,000 and $117,000.  The  Partnership  paid  approximately  $72,000 and
      $121,000 in prepayment  penalties and wrote off approximately  $22,000 and
      $32,000,   respectively,  in  unamortized  loan  costs,  resulting  in  an
      extraordinary  loss on  early  extinguishment  of debt  in the  amount  of
      approximately $247,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

Schedule of Rental Rates and Occupancy

Average annual rental rate and occupancy for 1999 and 1998 for each property:

                                      Average Annual             Average Annual

Torrey Pines                      $6,993          $6,887         95%         93%
St. Charleston                     7,117           7,014         95%         93%
Sun River                          7,535           7,395         88%         95%

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.

As noted under "Item 1.  Description of Business",  the real estate  industry is
highly  competitive.  All of the  properties of the  Partnership  are subject to
competition  from other  properties in the area.  The Managing  General  Partner
believes that all the  properties are  adequately  insured.  Each property is an
apartment  complex  which leases  units for lease terms of one year or less.  No
individual  residential  property  tenant  leases  10% or more of the  available
rental space. All of the properties are in good physical  condition,  subject to
depreciation and deterioration as is typical for assets of this type and age.

Schedule of Real Estate Taxes and Rates

Real estate taxes and rates in 1999 for each property were:

                                    1999             1999
                                   Billing           Rate

Torrey Pines                        $ 82             3.11%
St. Charleston                       140             3.11%
Sun River                            129             1.11%

Capital Improvements

Torrey Pines Village Apartments

The  Partnership  completed  approximately  $237,000 in capital  expenditures at
Torrey Pines Village Apartments as of December 31, 1999, consisting primarily of
roof  replacement,  carpet  and  vinyl  replacement,   structural  improvements,
recreational facilities upgrades, and appliances. These improvements were funded
from operating cash flow and Partnership reserves.  The Partnership is currently
evaluating the capital  improvement needs of the property for the upcoming year.
The  minimum  amount to be  budgeted is expected to be $300 per unit or $61,200.
Additional  improvements  may be  considered  and will  depend  on the  physical
condition of the property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated  cash
flow generated by the property.

St. Charleston Place Apartments

The Partnership completed  approximately $348,000 in capital expenditures at St.
Charleston  Place  Apartments as of December 31, 1999,  consisting  primarily of
roof  replacement,   carpet  and  vinyl  replacement,   appliance   replacement,
structural  upgrades,  roof replacement,  fencing,  and recreational  facilities
upgrades. These improvements were funded primarily from operating cash flow and,
to a lessor extent,  from  Partnership  reserves.  The  Partnership is currently
evaluating the capital  improvement needs of the property for the upcoming year.
The  minimum  amount to be  budgeted is expected to be $300 per unit or $93,600.
Additional  improvements  may be  considered  and will  depend  on the  physical
condition of the property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated  cash
flow generated by the property.

Sun River

The Partnership completed  approximately $529,000 in capital expenditures at Sun
River  Apartments  as of December 31, 1999,  consisting  primarily of carpet and
vinyl replacement, roof replacement, parking lot upgrades, air conditioning unit
replacements,  major landscaping,  sign additions, and land improvements.  These
improvements  were funded  primarily  from  operating cash flow and, to a lessor
extent, from Partnership  reserves.  The Partnership is currently evaluating the
capital  improvement  needs of the property for the upcoming  year.  The minimum
amount to be budgeted is  expected to be $300 per unit or  $100,200.  Additional
improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical  condition of the
property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by
the property.

The  capital  improvements  planned  for  the  year  2000  at the  Partnership's
properties will be made only to the extent of cash available from operations and
Partnership  reserves. To the extent that such budgeted capital improvements are
completed,  the Registrant's  distributable  cash flow, if any, may be adversely
affected at least in the short term.

Item 3.     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
"Item 7. 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.

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 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The unit  holders  of the  Partnership  did not vote on any  matter  during  the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.

Item 5.     Market for the Partnership's Equity and Related Partner Matters

The Partnership,  a publicly-held  limited  partnership,  originally sold 64,806
Limited  Partnership  Units.  As of December 31, 1999,  the number of holders of
Limited  Partnership  Units  was  2,458  owning an  aggregate  of 64,806  units.
Affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner owned  39,393.84 units or 60.79% at
December 31, 1999. There is no intention to sell additional Limited  Partnership
Units nor is there an established public trading market for these Units.

The following table sets forth the distributions made by the Partnership for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 (see "Item 6. Management's Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation" for further details):

       01/01/99 - 12/31/99              $  180 (2)            $ 2.72

(1)   Consists of $2,003,000 of cash from operations and $1,500,000 of cash from
      previously undistributed surplus cash from the collection of a note.

(2)   Distribution was made from cash from operations. Distribution was declared
      as of December 31, 1999 and paid in January 2000.

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. The Partnership's  distribution
policy is reviewed on a semi-annual basis.  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 in the
year 2000 or  subsequent  periods.  See "Item 2.  Description  of  Properties  -
Capital   Improvements"   for  information   relating  to  anticipated   capital
expenditures at the properties.

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
Managing General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. As
a result of these and prior tender offers,  AIMCO and its  affiliates  currently
own  39,393.84  limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership   representing
approximately  60.79% of the outstanding units. 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.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to
influence  all  voting  decisions  with  respect  to the  Registrant.  Under the
Partnership Agreement,  unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled
to take  action with  respect to a variety of  matters.  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.

Item 6.     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The  matters  discussed  in this Form  10-KSB  contain  certain  forward-looking
statements  and  involve  risks and  uncertainties  (including  changing  market
conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the disclosure
contained  in this Form 10-KSB and the other  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The discussion of
the Registrant'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 Registrant's business and results of operation.  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.

This  item  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial
statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  net  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999  was
approximately  $453,000 as compared to net income of approximately  $119,000 for
the year  ended  December  31,  1998.  The  increase  in net income for 1999 was
primarily  due to a decrease  in total  expenses  and,  to a lessor  extent,  an
increase in total revenues. Total revenues increased due to a slight increase in
rental income. Rental income increased as a result of the increased rental rates
at all the Partnership's  properties and increased occupancy at Torrey Pines and
St.  Charleston  which more than offset the  decrease in  occupancy at Sun River
Apartments.

Total expenses  decreased  primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses and
general and administrative expenses,  partially offset by increased property tax
expense and depreciation  expense.  Operating  expenses  decreased mainly due to
decreases  in  maintenance  expense and  insurance  expense and reduced  payroll
expenses at all the Partnership's  properties.  Maintenance  expenses  decreased
primarily due to reduced  contract labor expenses at St.  Charleston  Apartments
due  to use  of  in-house  employees,  and  decreases  in  repairs  at  all  the
Partnership's properties.  The decrease in insurance expense was due to a change
in insurance  carrier late in 1998 for all the Partnership's  properties.  These
decreases were partially offset by an increase in advertising expense at all the
Partnership's properties.  The decrease in general and administrative expense is
primarily due to the payment of  Partnership  management  fees  associated  with
distributions  from  operations.  Such  distributions  were  $180,000 in 1999 as
compared to $2,003,000 in 1998.  Therefore,  the fees were higher in 1998.  This
decrease was partially offset by increased legal fees due to the settlement of a
legal case as  disclosed  in the Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB at  December  31,
1998.  Included  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  for the year  ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, are  reimbursements  to the General  Partner allowed
under  the  Partnership   Agreement   associated  with  its  management  of  the
Partnership.  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.  Property  taxes
increased at all the Partnership's properties due to an increase in the assessed
values of all three  properties as well as a slight increase in the tax rate for
St. Charleston and Torrey Pines Apartments.  Depreciation  expense increased due
to capital  improvements  completed  during the past twelve months which are now
being depreciated.

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior  painting and major landscaping on a prospective
basis.  The  Partnership  believes  that  this  accounting  principle  change is
preferable  because it provides a better  matching of expenses  with the related
benefit of the expenditures and it is consistent with industry  practice and the
policies of the Managing General  Partner.  The effect of the change in 1999 was
not  material.  The  cumulative  effect,  had this change been  applied to prior
periods,  is not  material.  The  accounting  principle  change will not have an
effect on cash flow,  funds  available for  distribution  or fees payable to the
Managing General Partner and affiliates.

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  December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership  had  cash and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $829,000 compared to approximately $716,000 at December 31, 1998.
The net increase in cash and cash  equivalents  for the year ended  December 31,
1999 was  approximately  $113,000.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents is
due to approximately $1,431,000 of cash provided by operating activities,  which
was partially  offset by  approximately  $1,175,000 and $143,000 of cash used in
investing  and  financing  activities,  respectively.  Cash  used  in  investing
activities consisted of property  improvements and replacements and net deposits
to  restricted  escrows  held by the  mortgage  lender.  Cash used in  financing
activities  consisted  of  payments  made  on  the  mortgages   encumbering  the
Partnership's investment properties. The Partnership invests its working capital
reserves in money market accounts.

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. The Partnership is currently
evaluating the capital  improvement needs of the property for the upcoming year.
The minimum  amount to be budgeted is expected to be $300 per unit or  $255,000.
Additional  improvements  may be  considered  and will  depend  on the  physical
condition of the property as well as replacement  reserves and anticipated  cash
flow generated by the property.  The 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 effected at least in the short
term.

The Partnership's  current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term
needs  (exclusive of capital  improvements)  of the  Partnership.  The remaining
mortgage indebtedness of approximately  $15,794,000 matures in July 2001, with a
balloon  payment  totaling  approximately  $15,551,000  due at maturity.  As the
mortgages  at  Torrey  Pines  Apartments  and  St.  Charleston  Apartments  were
subsequently  refinanced (see discussion  below),  the Managing  General Partner
will attempt to refinance the mortgage at Sun River  Apartments  and/or sell the
property  prior to such maturity  date. If the property  cannot be refinanced or
sold for a sufficient  amount,  the  Partnership  will risk losing such property
through foreclosure.

On February 2, 2000, the Partnership refinanced the mortgages encumbering Torrey
Pines  Apartments  and  St.  Charleston  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  $110,000 and $117,000.  The Partnership paid  approximately
$72,000 and $121,000 in prepayment penalties and wrote off approximately $22,000
and  $32,000,   respectively,   in  unamortized  loan  costs,  resulting  in  an
extraordinary   loss  on  early   extinguishment   of  debt  in  the  amount  of
approximately $247,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership declared a distribution
of approximately $180,000 ($176,000 to the limited partners or $2.72 per limited
partnership unit) from operations. This distribution was accrued at December 31,
1999 and paid in January  2000.  During the year ended  December 31,  1998,  the
Partnership distributed  approximately $3,503,000  (approximately  $3,433,000 to
the limited  partners or $52.97 per limited  partnership  unit) to the partners,
consisting  of  approximately  $1,500,000 of sale  proceeds  ($1,470,000  to the
limited partners or $22.68 per limited  partnership unit) from the collection of
the Waverley  Apartments note and  approximately  $2,003,000  ($1,963,000 to the
limited partners or $30.29 per limited  partnership unit) from operations.  When
the  Partnership  sold the  Waverly  Apartments  in 1987 it  received a note for
$1,500,000  with a July 1997 maturity  date. The note was collected in September
1997 and the total proceeds were distributed in 1998.

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
Managing General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. As
a result of these and prior tender offers,  AIMCO and its  affiliates  currently
own  39,393.84  limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership   representing
approximately  60.79% of the outstanding units. 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.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to
influence  all  voting  decisions  with  respect  to the  Registrant.  Under the
Partnership Agreement,  unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled
to take  action with  respect to a variety of  matters.  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.

Year 2000 Compliance

General Description

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. The Partnership is
dependent  upon the Managing  General  Partner and its affiliates for management
and  administrative  services  ("Managing  Agent").  Any of the Managing Agent's
computer programs or hardware that had date-sensitive software or embedded chips
might have  recognized  a date using "00" as the year 1900  rather than the year
2000.  This could have resulted in a system failure or  miscalculations  causing
disruptions of operations,  including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process  transactions,  send invoices,  or engage in similar normal  business
activities.

Computer Hardware, Software and Operating Equipment

In 1999,  the Managing  Agent  completed  all phases of its Year 2000 program by
completing  the  replacement  and repair of any  hardware or software  system or
operating  equipment that was not yet Year 2000 compliant.  The Managing Agent's
hardware  and software  systems and its  operating  equipment  are now Year 2000
compliant.  No  material  failure or  erroneous  results  have  occurred  in the
Managing Agent's computer  applications  related to the failure to reference the
Year 2000 to date.

Third Parties

To  date,  the  Managing  Agent  is not  aware of any  significant  supplier  or
subcontractor  (external agent) or financial institution of the Partnership that
has a Year 2000 issue that  would  have a material  impact on the  Partnership's
results of operations,  liquidity or capital  resources.  However,  the Managing
Agent  has no means of  ensuring  or  determining  the Year 2000  compliance  of
external  agents.  At this time, the Managing Agent does not believe that a Year
2000 issue of any  non-compliant  external agent will have a material  impact on
the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Costs

The total cost of the Managing Agent's Year 2000 project was approximately  $3.2
million and was funded from operating cash flows.

Risks Associated with the Year 2000

The Managing  Agent  completed all necessary  phases of its Year 2000 program in
1999,  and did not  experience  system or  equipment  malfunctions  related to a
failure to reference the Year 2000. The Managing  Agent or Partnership  have not
been  materially  adversely  effected by  disruptions  in the economy  generally
resulting from the Year 2000 issue.

At this  time,  the  Managing  Agent  does not  believe  that the  Partnership's
businesses,  results of  operations  or financial  condition  will be materially
adversely effected by the Year 2000 issue.

Contingency Plans Associated with the Year 2000

The  Managing  Agent has not had to implement  contingency  plans such as manual
workarounds or selecting new relationships for its banking or elevator operation
activities in order to avoid the Year 2000 issue.

                 Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

The Partners
Century Properties Fund XIV

We  have  audited  the  accompanying   consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Century
Properties  Fund XIV as of  December  31,  1999,  and the  related  consolidated
statements of operations,  changes in partners' capital (deficit) and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership'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 the  Partnership's  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 consolidated financial position of Century Properties
Fund XIV at December 31, 1999,  and the  consolidated  results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period  ended  December  31,
1999, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States.

                           CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XIV

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1999

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization:   Century   Properties   Fund  XIV  (the   "Partnership"   or  the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of
California to hold for  investment  and ultimately  sell  income-producing  real
estate. The Partnership  currently owns three residential  apartment  complexes,
two of which are located in Nevada and the other located in Arizona. The general
partners are Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership, and
Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General Partner"), a
California  Corporation.  The  original  capital  contributions  of  $64,806,000
($1,000  per unit) were made by the  limited  partners,  including  100  limited
partnership  units  purchased  by FCMC.  The  Managing  General  Partner and the
managing  general partner of FRI are  subsidiaries  of Apartment  Investment and
Management Company ("AIMCO") (see "Note B - Transfer of Control"). The directors
and officers of the Managing General Partner also serve as executive officers of
AIMCO. The Partnership  Agreement  provides that the Partnership is to terminate
on December 31, 2012 unless terminated prior to such date.

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  owns a 99% interest in each of the partnerships and
has the ability to control the major  operating and financial  policies of these
partnerships. All interpartnership transactions have been eliminated.

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

Allocation  of  Income,  Loss,  and  Distribution:  Net  income,  net loss,  and
distributions  of cash of the  Partnership  are  allocated  between  general and
limited partners in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

The Net Income,  Net Loss, and  Distributions of Cash Available for Distribution
of the Partnership shall be allocated 98 percent to the Limited Partnership Unit
Holders and two percent to the general  partners.  However,  realized gains from
the sale or other  disposition  of  Partnership  properties  shall be allocated:
first,  to the general  partners  to the extent of any deficit in their  capital
accounts,  next to the Limited Partnership Unit Holders, pro rata, to the extent
of any  deficit in their  capital  accounts,  next to the general  partners  and
Limited  Partnership  Unit  Holders,  pro  rata,  to  the  extent  they  receive
distributions  of cash according to the  Partnership  Agreement from the sale or
disposition of Partnership  properties,  and lastly, to the general partners and
Limited  Partnership  Unit  Holders  in the ratio they are  entitled  to receive
distributions of cash, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 107,  "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments",  as
amended by SFAS No. 119, "Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair  Value  of  Financial  Instruments",  requires  disclosure  of  fair  value
information  about  financial  instruments,  whether  or not  recognized  in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is
defined in the SFAS as the amount at which the instrument  could be exchanged in
a  current  transaction  between  willing  parties,  other  than in a forced  or
liquidation  sale.  The  Partnership  believes  that the carrying  amount of its
financial  instruments (except for long term debt) approximates their fair value
due to the short  term  maturity  of these  instruments.  The fair  value of the
Partnership's  long term debt, after  discounting the scheduled loan payments to
maturity, approximates its carrying balance.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents:  Cash and cash equivalents  include cash on hand, in
banks and money market accounts.  At certain times, the amount of cash deposited
at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.

Security Deposits:  The Partnership  requires security deposits from lessees for
the  duration of the lease and such  deposits are  included in  receivables  and
deposits. Deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has
not damaged its space, and is current on its rental payments.

Investment Properties:  Investment properties,  which consist of three apartment
complexes,  are stated at cost.  Acquisition  fees are  capitalized as a cost of
real estate. In accordance with SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", the Partnership
records  impairment  losses on long-lived  assets used in operations when events
and   circumstances   indicate  that  the  assets  might  be  impaired  and  the
undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the carrying  amounts of these assets.  No  adjustments  for impairment of value
were recorded in the years ended December 31, 1999 or 1998.

Depreciation:  Depreciation  is  provided by the  straight-line  method over the
estimated lives of the investment properties and related personal property.  For
Federal income tax purposes,  the  accelerated  cost recovery method is used (1)
for real property over 18 years for additions  after March 15, 1984,  and before
May 9, 1985, and 19 years for additions  after May 8, 1985 and before January 1,
1987, and (2) for personal  property over 5 years for additions prior to January
1, 1987. As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, for additions after December
31, 1986, the alternative  depreciation  system is used for  depreciation of (1)
real property over 40 years and (2) personal property additions over 5-20 years.

Effective  January 1, 1999 the  Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the costs of exterior painting and major landscaping (Note J).

Leases: The Partnership  generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms
or less. The Partnership recognizes income as earned on its leases. In addition,
the Managing  General  Partner's  policy is to offer rental  concessions  during
particularly  slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar
complexes  in the  area.  Concessions  are  charged  against  rental  income  as
incurred.

Replacement Reserves - The Partnership  maintains a replacement reserve with the
holder of the mortgage notes payable on all the  Partnership  properties.  These
funds are  available  for the  maintenance  of the  properties.  The  balance at
December 31, 1999 was approximately $205,000.

Advertising  Costs:  Advertising  costs of  approximately  $131,000  in 1999 and
$86,000  in 1998 were  charged  to  expense  as  incurred  and are  included  in
operating expenses.

Loan Costs:  Loan costs are  amortized  using the straight  line method over the
lives of the related  mortgage loans.  At December 31, 1999, loan costs,  net of
accumulated  amortization,  totaled  approximately  $94,000 and are  included in
other assets. Amortization of loan costs is included in interest expense.

Segment Reporting:  SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related  Information  established  standards  for the way that  public  business
enterprises  report  information  about operating  segments in annual  financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports.  It also establishes  standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. See "Note H" for required disclosure.

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
("IPT") merged into AIMCO, a publicly traded real estate  investment trust, with
AIMCO being the surviving  corporation  (the  "Insignia  Merger").  As a result,
AIMCO  ultimately  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  Partnership  has no employees  and is  dependent  on the  Managing  General
Partners  and  its  affiliates  for the  management  and  administration  of all
partnership activities.  The Partnership Agreement provides for certain 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 years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

                                                           1999        1998
                                                            (in thousands)
Property management fees (included in operating
   expenses)                                               $305        $293
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
   (included in operating, general and
   administrative expenses, and investment
   properties)                                              131         135
Partnership management fee (included in general
   and administrative expense)                               20         222

During the years ended  December 31, 1999 and 1998,  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  $305,000 and
$293,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting to  approximately  $131,000 and
$135,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, 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  $20,000 and $222,000 in Partnership  management
fees are  included  in general  and  administrative  expense for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
Managing General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. As
a result of these and prior tender offers,  AIMCO and its  affiliates  currently
own  39,393.84  limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership   representing
approximately  60.79% of the outstanding units. 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.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to
influence  all  voting  decisions  with  respect  to the  Registrant.  Under the
Partnership Agreement,  unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled
to take  action with  respect to a variety of  matters.  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.

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.

Note D - Mortgage Notes Payable

The principle terms of mortgage notes payable are as follows:

</TABLE>

(1)   Loans were refinanced on February 2, 2000.  See discussion below.

The  mortgage  notes  payable  are  non-recourse  and  secured  by pledge of the
Partnership's  rental  properties  and by pledge of revenues from the respective
rental properties.  All mortgage notes payable include  prepayment  penalties if
repaid prior to maturity.  Further,  the  properties  may not be sold subject to
existing indebtedness.

Scheduled principal payments of mortgage note payable subsequent to December 31,
1999 are as follows (in thousands):

                             2000                $  158
                             2001                15,636
                             Total              $15,794

On February 2, 2000, the Partnership refinanced the mortgages encumbering Torrey
Pines  Apartments  and  St.  Charleston  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  $110,000 and $117,000.  The Partnership paid  approximately
$72,000 and $121,000 in prepayment penalties and wrote off approximately $22,000
and  $32,000,   respectively,   in  unamortized  loan  costs,  resulting  in  an
extraordinary   loss  on  early   extinguishment   of  debt  in  the  amount  of
approximately $247,000 during the first quarter of 2000.

Amortization of deferred loan costs totaled  approximately  $63,000 for both the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Note E - Income Taxes

The  Partnership is classified as a Partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the consolidated financial
statements of the  Partnership.  Taxable  income or loss of the  Partnership  is
reported in the income tax returns of its partners.

The  following  is a  reconciliation  between  net  income  as  reported  in the
consolidated  financial  statements and Federal taxable income  allocated to the
partners in the  Partnership's  information  return for the years ended December

Balance at end of year                          $15,894          $14,965

The  aggregate  cost of the real  estate  for  Federal  income tax  purposes  at
December  31,  1999 and 1998,  is  approximately  $27,781,000  and  $26,687,000,
respectively. The accumulated depreciation taken for Federal income tax purposes
at December 31, 1999 and 1998, is  approximately  $19,907,000  and  $19,321,000,
respectively.

Note G - Distributions

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership declared a distribution
of approximately $180,000 ($176,000 to the limited partners or $2.72 per limited
partnership unit) from operations. This distribution was accrued at December 31,
1999 and paid in January  2000.  During the year ended  December 31,  1998,  the
Partnership distributed  approximately $3,503,000  (approximately  $3,433,000 to
the limited  partners or $52.97 per limited  partnership  unit) to the partners,
consisting  of  approximately  $1,500,000 of sale  proceeds  ($1,470,000  to the
limited partners or $22.68 per limited  partnership unit) from the collection of
the Waverley  Apartments note and  approximately  $2,003,000  ($1,963,000 to the
limited partners or $30.29 per limited  partnership unit) from operations.  When
the  Partnership  sold the  Waverly  Apartments  in 1987 it  received a note for
$1,500,000  with a July 1997 maturity  date. The note was collected in September
1997 and the total proceeds were distributed in 1998.

Note H - 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 described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Factors management used to identify the Partnership's reportable segment:

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 years 1999 and 1998 is shown in the tables below (in
thousands). The "Other" column includes partnership administration related items
and income and expense not allocated to the reportable segment.

Note I - 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.

Note J - Change in Accounting Principle

Effective  January 1, 1999, the Partnership  changed its method of accounting to
capitalize the cost of exterior  painting and major landscaping on a prospective
basis.  The  Partnership  believes  that  this  accounting  principle  change is
preferable  because it provides a better  matching of expenses  with the related
benefit of the expenditures and it is consistent with industry  practice and the
policies of the Managing General  Partner.  The effect of the change in 1999 was
not  material.  The  cumulative  effect,  had this change been  applied to prior
periods,  is not  material.  The  accounting  principle  change will not have an
effect on cash flow,  funds  available for  distribution  or fees payable to the
Managing General Partner and affiliates.

Item  8.  Changes  in and  Disagreements  with  Accountants  on  Accounting  and
          Financial Disclosure

          None.

Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc. From June 1994 until January 1997, she was the
Controller for Insignia, and was promoted to Senior Vice President - Finance and
Controller in January 1997,  retaining that title until October 1998.  From 1988
to June 1994,  Ms. Long was Senior Vice  President and  Controller for The First

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments  thereto furnished to
the Registrant  under Rule 16a-3(e) during the  Registrant's  most recent fiscal
year and Form 5 and amendments  thereto furnished to the Registrant with respect
to its most recent  fiscal year,  the  Registrant  is not aware of any director,
officer,  beneficial  owner of more than ten  percent  of the  units of  limited
partnership interest in the Registrant that failed to file on a timely basis, as
disclosed in the above Forms,  reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange

AIMCO Properties,  L.P. and its joint filers failed to timely file a Form 3 with
respect to its  acquisition  of Units and AIMCO and its joint  filers  failed to
timely file a Form 4 with respect to its acquisition of Units.

Item 10.    Executive Compensation

Neither the director nor the officers of the Managing  General Partner  received
renumeration from the Registrant.

Item 11.    Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information regarding limited partnership
units of the  Partnership  owned by each person or entity  which is known by the
Partnership to own  beneficially or exercise voting of dispositive  control over
more than 5% of the  Partnership's  limited  partnership  units,  by each of the
Managing General Partner's directors and by all directors and executive officers
of the Managing General Partner as a group as of December 31, 1999.

(1)  Entity is indirectly  ultimately owned by AIMCO. Its business address is 55
     Beattie Place, Greenville, South Carolina 29602.

(2)  AIMCO Properties LP is ultimately controlled by AIMCO. Its business address
     is 2000 South Colorado Boulevard, Denver, Colorado 80222.

As a  result  of its  ownership  of  approximately  39,393.84  (60.79%)  limited
partnership  units  through  its  affiliates,  AIMCO  could be in a position  to
significantly  influence all voting  decisions with respect to the  Partnership.
Under the  Partnership  Agreement,  unit holders holding a majority of the Units
are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters. 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 its
affiliation with the Managing General Partner. However, Riverside 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.

Item 12.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

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.


<PAGE>


The following  transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were
incurred during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

                                                       1999        1998
                                                        (in thousands)
Property management fees                               $305        $293
Reimbursement for services of affiliates                131         135
Partnership management fee                               20         222

During the years ended  December 31, 1999 and 1998,  affiliates  of the Managing
General  Partner were  entitled to receive 5% of gross  receipts from all of the
Partnership's  properties  as  compensation  for providing  property  management
services.  The Partnership  paid to such affiliates  approximately  $305,000 and
$293,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

An  affiliate  of  the  Managing  General  Partner  received   reimbursement  of
accountable  administrative  expenses  amounting to  approximately  $131,000 and
$135,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, 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  $20,000 and $222,000 in partnership  management
fees are  included  in general  and  administrative  expense for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Several tender offers were made by various parties,  including affiliates of the
Managing General Partner,  during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. As
a result of these and prior tender offers,  AIMCO and its  affiliates  currently
own  39,393.84  limited  partnership  units  in  the  Partnership   representing
approximately  60.79% of the outstanding units. 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.  Consequently,  AIMCO is in a position to
influence  all  voting  decisions  with  respect  to the  Registrant.  Under the
Partnership Agreement,  unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled
to take  action with  respect to a variety of  matters.  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.

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.

February 7, 2000


Mr. Patrick J. Foye
Executive Vice President
Fox Capital Management Corporation
Managing General Partner of Century Properties Fund XIV
55 Beattie Place
P.O. Box 1089
Greenville, South Carolina 29602

Dear Mr. Foye:

Note J of Notes to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements of Century Properties
Fund XIV  included  in its Form  10-KSB for the year  ended  December  31,  1999
describes a change in the method of accounting to capitalize  exterior  painting
and major landscaping,  which would have been expensed under the old policy. You
have advised us that you believe  that the change is to a  preferable  method in
your  circumstances  because it provides a better  matching of expenses with the
related benefit of the  expenditures  and is consistent with policies  currently
being used by your industry and conforms to the policies of the Managing General
Partner.

There are no authoritative criteria for determining a preferable method based on
the particular circumstances; however, we conclude that the change in the method
of accounting  for exterior  painting and major  landscaping is to an acceptable
alternative  method which,  based on your business  judgment to make this change
for the reasons cited above, is preferable in your circumstances.

                                                               Very truly yours,
                                                            /s/Ernst & Young LLP


<PAGE>

                                                                    Exhibit 10.2

                                MULTIFAMILY NOTE
                                  (MULTISTATE)

                                                              FHLMC #  002643006
US $7,325,000.00                                                February 2, 2000


      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Borrower") jointly and severally (if
more than one)  promises to pay to the order of ARCS  Commercial  Mortgage  Co.,
L.P., a California limited partnership, the principal sum of Seven Million Three
Hundred  Twenty Five  Thousand  Dollars and  no/100's (US  $7,325,000.00),  with
interest  on the  unpaid  principal  balance  at the  annual  rate of Eight  and
34/100's percent (8.34%).

      1. Defined  Terms.  As used in this Note,  (i) the term "Lender" means the
holder of this Note,  and (ii) the term  "Indebtedness"  means the principal of,
interest on, or any other amounts due at any time under, this Note, the Security
Instrument  or any other Loan  Document,  including  prepayment  premiums,  late
charges,  default interest, and advances to protect the security of the Security
Instrument under Section 12 of the Security  Instrument.  "Event of Default" and
other  capitalized  terms  used but not  defined  in this  Note  shall  have the
meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument.

      2. Address for Payment.  All payments due under this Note shall be payable
at 26901 Agoura Road,  Suite 200,  Calabasas  Hills,  California  91301, or such
other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or on behalf
of Lender.

      3.    Payment of Principal and Interest.  Principal and interest shall
be paid as follows:

      (a) Unless  disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the
first  day of the  month,  interest  for the  period  beginning  on the  date of
disbursement and ending on and including the last day of the month in which such
disbursement is made shall be payable  simultaneously with the execution of this
Note.  Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.

      (b) Consecutive  monthly  installments of principal and interest,  each in
the amount of Sixty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty Eight Dollars and 23/100's
(US  $62,828.23),  shall be payable on the first day of each month  beginning on
April 1, 2000, until the entire unpaid principal  balance evidenced by this Note
is fully paid. Any accrued interest remaining past due for 30 days or more shall
be added to and  become  part of the  unpaid  principal  balance  and shall bear
interest at the rate or rates specified in this Note, and any reference below to
"accrued  interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has not become part of
the unpaid principal balance.  Any remaining principal and interest shall be due
and  payable  on March  1,  2020 or on any  earlier  date on  which  the  unpaid
principal  balance of this Note  becomes due and  payable,  by  acceleration  or
otherwise (the "Maturity Date").  The unpaid principal balance shall continue to
bear interest after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate set forth in this Note
until and including the date on which it is paid in full.

      (c) Any regularly  scheduled monthly installment of principal and interest
that is  received  by Lender  before  the date it is due shall be deemed to have
been  received on the due date solely for the  purpose of  calculating  interest
due.

      4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives,  from Borrower
or otherwise,  any amount applicable to the Indebtedness  which is less than all
amounts due and payable at such time,  Lender may apply that  payment to amounts
then due and  payable in any manner and in any order  determined  by Lender,  in
Lender's  discretion.  Borrower  agrees that neither  Lender's  acceptance  of a
payment  from  Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts  then due and
payable nor Lender's  application of such payment shall  constitute or be deemed
to  constitute  either  a  waiver  of  the  unpaid  amounts  or  an  accord  and
satisfaction.

      5.  Security.  The  Indebtedness  is  secured,  among other  things,  by a
multifamily mortgage,  deed to secure debt or deed of trust dated as of the date
of this Note (the "Security Instrument"),  and reference is made to the Security
Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

      6.  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,
the entire  unpaid  principal  balance,  any accrued  interest,  the  prepayment
premium  payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts payable under
this Note and any other Loan Document  shall at once become due and payable,  at
the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower.  Lender may exercise
this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.

      7. Late Charge. If any monthly amount payable under this Note or under the
Security  Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received by Lender within
Ten (10) days after the amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately
and without  demand by Lender,  a late charge  equal to Five (5) percent of such
amount.  Borrower  acknowledges  that its failure to make timely  payments  will
cause Lender to incur  additional  expenses in servicing and processing the loan
evidenced  by this Note (the  "Loan"),  and that it is extremely  difficult  and
impractical to determine  those  additional  expenses.  Borrower agrees that the
late charge payable pursuant to this Paragraph  represents a fair and reasonable
estimate,  taking into  account all  circumstances  existing on the date of this
Note,  of the  additional  expenses  Lender  will  incur by  reason of such late
payment.  The late  charge is  payable in  addition  to, and not in lieu of, any
interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Paragraph 8.

      8. Default  Rate. So long as (a) any monthly  installment  under this Note
remains  past due for 30 days or more,  or (b) any other  Event of  Default  has
occurred and is continuing,  interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid
principal  balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid  monthly
installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable,  at
a rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of 4 percentage points above the
rate stated in the first  paragraph  of this Note or the maximum  interest  rate
which may be  collected  from  Borrower  under  applicable  law.  If the  unpaid
principal  balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity
Date, the unpaid principal  balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest
from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate.  Borrower also acknowledges that its
failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur  additional  expenses
in servicing and  processing  the Loan,  that,  during the time that any monthly
installment  under this Note is  delinquent  for more than 30 days,  Lender will
incur  additional  costs and  expenses  arising  from its loss of the use of the
money due and from the  adverse  impact on  Lender's  ability  to meet its other
obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and that it
is extremely  difficult and impractical to determine those  additional costs and
expenses.  Borrower  also  acknowledges  that,  during the time that any monthly
installment  under  this Note is  delinquent  for more than 30 days or any other
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  Lender's risk of nonpayment of
this Note will be materially  increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated
for such  increased  risk.  Borrower  agrees  that the  increase  in the rate of
interest  payable  under this Note to the  Default  Rate  represents  a fair and
reasonable estimate,  taking into account all circumstances existing on the date
of this Note, of the additional  costs and expenses  Lender will incur by reason
of the Borrower's  delinquent payment and the additional  compensation Lender is
entitled to receive for the  increased  risks of  nonpayment  associated  with a
delinquent loan.

      9.    Limits on Personal Liability.

      (a) Except as otherwise  provided in this Paragraph 9, Borrower shall have
no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan
Document for the repayment of the  Indebtedness  or for the  performance  of any
other  obligations  of Borrower  under the Loan  Documents,  and  Lender's  only
recourse for the  satisfaction of the  Indebtedness  and the performance of such
obligations  shall be Lender's  exercise of its rights and remedies with respect
to the Mortgaged  Property and any other  collateral  held by Lender as security
for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower's liability shall not limit or
impair  Lender's  enforcement  of  its  rights  against  any  guarantor  of  the
Indebtedness or any guarantor of any obligations of Borrower.

      (b) Borrower  shall be personally  liable to Lender for the repayment of a
portion of the  Indebtedness  equal to Zero percent (0%) of the unpaid principal
balance of this Note,  plus any other  amounts for which  Borrower  has personal
liability under this Paragraph 9.

      (c) In addition to Borrower's  personal  liability  under  Paragraph 9(b),
Borrower  shall be  personally  liable to Lender for the  repayment of a further
portion of the Indebtedness  equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a
result of (1) failure of Borrower to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of
Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security
Instrument  and the amount of all security  deposits  collected by Borrower from
tenants  then in  residence;  (2)  failure of  Borrower  to apply all  insurance
proceeds and condemnation  proceeds as required by the Security  Instrument;  or
(3)  failure of Borrower to comply  with  Section  14(d) or (e) of the  Security
Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements,  schedules
and reports.

      (d) For  purposes  of  determining  Borrower's  personal  liability  under
Paragraph  9(b)  and  Paragraph  9(c),  all  payments  made by  Borrower  or any
guarantor of this Note with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received
by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument shall
be applied first to the portion of the  Indebtedness  for which  Borrower has no
personal liability.

      (e) Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the repayment of
all of the  Indebtedness  upon the occurrence of any of the following  Events of
Default: (1) Borrower's acquisition of any property or operation of any business
not  permitted  by  Section  33 of  the  Security  Instrument;  (2)  a  Transfer
(including,  but not  limited  to,  a lien or  encumbrance)  that is an Event of
Default  under  Section  21 of the  Security  Instrument,  other than a Transfer
consisting  solely of the  involuntary  removal or  involuntary  withdrawal of a
general  partner in a limited  partnership  or a manager in a limited  liability
company; or (3) fraud or written material  misrepresentation  by Borrower or any
officer,  director,  partner,  member or employee of Borrower in connection with
the  application  for or  creation  of the  Indebtedness  or any request for any
action or consent by Lender.

      (f) In addition to any personal  liability for the Indebtedness,  Borrower
shall  be  personally  liable  to  Lender  for  (1)  the  performance  of all of
Borrower's  obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to
environmental  matters);  (2) the costs of any audit under  Section 14(d) of the
Security  Instrument;  and (3) any  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by Lender in
connection  with the  collection of any amount for which  Borrower is personally
liable under this  Paragraph  9,  including  fees and out of pocket  expenses of
attorneys and expert witnesses and the costs of conducting any independent audit
of Borrower's  books and records to determine the amount for which  Borrower has
personal liability.

      (g)  To the  extent  that  Borrower  has  personal  liability  under  this
Paragraph 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower  personally without
regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property
or any other security,  or pursued any rights against any guarantor,  or pursued
any other rights  available to Lender under this Note, the Security  Instrument,
any other Loan Document or applicable law. For purposes of this Paragraph 9, the
term "Mortgaged Property" shall not include any funds that (1) have been applied
by Borrower as required or  permitted by the  Security  Instrument  prior to the
occurrence  of an  Event of  Default  or (2)  Borrower  was  unable  to apply as
required  or  permitted  by the  Security  Instrument  because of a  bankruptcy,
receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

      10.   Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

      (a)  A  prepayment  premium  shall  be  payable  in  connection  with  any
prepayment made under this Note as provided below:

            (1)  Borrower  may  voluntarily  prepay all of the unpaid  principal
balance of this Note on the last  Business  Day of a calendar  month if Borrower
has given  Lender at least 30 days prior  notice of its  intention  to make such
prepayment.  Such prepayment shall be made by paying (A) the amount of principal
being prepaid,  (B) all accrued  interest,  (C) all other sums due Lender at the
time of such prepayment,  and (D) the prepayment premium calculated  pursuant to
Schedule A. For all purposes  including the accrual of interest,  any prepayment
received  by  Lender on any day other  than the last  calendar  day of the month
shall be deemed to have been  received on the last  calendar  day of such month.
For purposes of this Note, a "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or any other day on which Lender is not open for business. Borrower shall
not have the option to voluntarily  prepay less than all of the unpaid principal
balance.

            (2) Upon Lender's  exercise of any right of acceleration  under this
Note,  Borrower shall pay to Lender,  in addition to the entire unpaid principal
balance  of this  Note  outstanding  at the  time of the  acceleration,  (A) all
accrued interest and all other sums due Lender,  and (B) the prepayment  premium
calculated pursuant to Schedule A.

            (3) Any application by Lender of any collateral or other security to
the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal  balance of this Note prior
to the Maturity Date and in the absence of acceleration  shall be deemed to be a
partial prepayment by Borrower, requiring the payment to Lender by Borrower of a
prepayment premium.  The amount of any such partial prepayment shall be computed
so as to provide to Lender a prepayment  premium computed pursuant to Schedule A
without Borrower having to pay out-of-pocket any additional amounts.

      (b)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of Paragraph  10(a),  no prepayment
premium  shall be payable with respect to (A) any  prepayment  made no more than
180 days before the Maturity Date, or (B) any  prepayment  occurring as a result
of the  application of any insurance  proceeds or  condemnation  award under the
Security Instrument.

      (c)   Schedule A is hereby incorporated by reference into this Note.

      (d) Any permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent
monthly  installments or change the amount of such  installments,  unless Lender
agrees otherwise in writing.

      (e)  Borrower  recognizes  that any  prepayment  of the  unpaid  principal
balance of this Note,  whether  voluntary or  involuntary  or  resulting  from a
default  by  Borrower,   will  result  in  Lender's  incurring  loss,  including
reinvestment loss,  additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's
ability to meet its  commitments  to third  parties.  Borrower  agrees to pay to
Lender  upon demand  damages for the  detriment  caused by any  prepayment,  and
agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
such damages.  Borrower  therefore  acknowledges and agrees that the formula for
calculating  prepayment premiums set forth on Schedule A represents a reasonable
estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment.

      (f) Borrower further  acknowledges that the prepayment  premium provisions
of this  Note  are a  material  part of the  consideration  for  the  Loan,  and
acknowledges that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to
Borrower as a result of the  Borrower's  voluntary  agreement to the  prepayment
premium provisions.

      11.  Costs and  Expenses.  Borrower  shall  pay all  expenses  and  costs,
including fees and out-of-pocket  expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and
costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this
Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or
to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan  Documents,  including  those
incurred in post-judgment  collection  efforts and in any bankruptcy  proceeding
(including  any action  for relief  from the  automatic  stay of any  bankruptcy
proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

      12.  Forbearance.  Any  forbearance  by Lender in exercising  any right or
remedy under this Note, the Security  Instrument,  or any other Loan Document or
otherwise  afforded by applicable  law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the
exercise of that or any other right or remedy.  The  acceptance by Lender of any
payment after the due date of such  payment,  or in an amount which is less than
the required payment,  shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt
payment  when due of all other  payments or to exercise any right or remedy with
respect to any  failure to make  prompt  payment.  Enforcement  by Lender of any
security for  Borrower's  obligations  under this Note shall not  constitute  an
election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right
or remedy available to Lender.

      13. Waivers.  Presentment,  demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of
acceleration,  notice of intent to demand or  accelerate  payment  or  maturity,
presentment  for  payment,  notice  of  nonpayment,   grace,  and  diligence  in
collecting  the  Indebtedness  are  waived by  Borrower  and all  endorsers  and
guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.

      14. Loan Charges. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or
other charges  permitted to be collected  from  Borrower in connection  with the
Loan is  interpreted  so that any interest or other  charge  provided for in any
Loan  Document,  whether  considered  separately  or together with other charges
provided  for in any other Loan  Document,  violates  that law,  and Borrower is
entitled to the benefit of that law, that  interest or charge is hereby  reduced
to the extent  necessary  to eliminate  that  violation.  The  amounts,  if any,
previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by
Lender to reduce the unpaid  principal  balance of this Note. For the purpose of
determining  whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other
charges  permitted  to  be  collected  from  Borrower  has  been  violated,  all
Indebtedness  that  constitutes  interest,  as well as all other charges made in

stated term of the Note.

                                   SCHEDULE A
                               PREPAYMENT PREMIUM

Any prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10 of this Note shall be computed
as follows:

      (a) If the  prepayment  is made between the date of this Note and the date
that is 180 months after the first day of the first calendar month following the
date of this Note (the "Yield Maintenance Period"), the prepayment premium shall
be the greater of:

      (i)   1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of this Note; or

      (ii)  the product obtained by multiplying:

            (A)   the amount of principal being prepaid,
                  by

            (B)   the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the
                  Assumed Reinvestment Rate,
                  by

            (C)   the Present Value Factor.

            For purposes of subparagraph  (ii), the following  definitions shall
            apply:

            Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual interest rate
            of the Note, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits.

            Prepayment Date:  in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date
            on which the prepayment is made; in any other case, the date on
            which Lender accelerates the unpaid principal balance of the Note.

            Assumed  Reinvestment Rate:  one-twelfth (1/12) of the yield rate as
            of the date 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the 9.25%
            U.S. Treasury  Security due February,  2016, as reported in The Wall
            Street Journal, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits. In
            the event that no yield is published on the applicable  date for the
            Treasury Security used to determine the Assumed  Reinvestment  Rate,
            Lender,  in its discretion,  shall select the non-callable  Treasury
            Security  maturing  in  the  same  year  as  the  Treasury  Security
            specified  above with the lowest yield  published in The Wall Street
            Journal as of the applicable  date. If the publication of such yield
            rates in The Wall  Street  Journal is  discontinued  for any reason,
            Lender  shall select a security  with a comparable  rate and term to
            the Treasury  Security  used to determine  the Assumed  Reinvestment
            Rate.  The  selection  of an  alternate  security  pursuant  to this
            Paragraph shall be made in Lender's discretion.

            Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the
            costs  resulting  to Lender from the  difference  in interest  rates
            during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance  Period,  using
            the Assumed  Reinvestment  Rate as the discount  rate,  with monthly
            compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

                                  [OBJECT OMITTED]

            n = number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period

            ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate

      (b)  If  the  prepayment  is  made  after  the  expiration  of  the  Yield
Maintenance  Period  but more  than 180  days  before  the  Maturity  Date,  the
prepayment premium shall be 1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

US $4,825,000.00                                                February 2, 2000


      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ("Borrower") jointly and severally (if
more than one)  promises to pay to the order of ARCS  Commercial  Mortgage  Co.,
L.P., a California limited partnership,  the principal sum of Four Million Eight
Hundred  Twenty Five  Thousand  Dollars and  no/100's (US  $4,825,000.00),  with
interest  on the  unpaid  principal  balance  at the  annual  rate of Eight  and
34/100's percent (8.34%).

      1. Defined  Terms.  As used in this Note,  (i) the term "Lender" means the
holder of this Note,  and (ii) the term  "Indebtedness"  means the principal of,
interest on, or any other amounts due at any time under, this Note, the Security
Instrument  or any other Loan  Document,  including  prepayment  premiums,  late
charges,  default interest, and advances to protect the security of the Security
Instrument under Section 12 of the Security  Instrument.  "Event of Default" and
other  capitalized  terms  used but not  defined  in this  Note  shall  have the
meanings given to such terms in the Security Instrument.

      2. Address for Payment.  All payments due under this Note shall be payable
at 26901 Agoura Road,  Suite 200,  Calabasas  Hills,  California  91301, or such
other place as may be designated by written notice to Borrower from or on behalf
of Lender.

      3.    Payment of Principal and Interest.  Principal and interest shall
be paid as follows:

      (a) Unless  disbursement of principal is made by Lender to Borrower on the
first  day of the  month,  interest  for the  period  beginning  on the  date of
disbursement and ending on and including the last day of the month in which such
disbursement is made shall be payable  simultaneously with the execution of this
Note.  Interest under this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.

      (b) Consecutive  monthly  installments of principal and interest,  each in
the amount of Forty One Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Five Thousand  Dollars and
15/100's  (US  $41,385.15),  shall be  payable  on the first  day of each  month
beginning on April 1, 2000, until the entire unpaid principal  balance evidenced
by this Note is fully paid. Any accrued interest  remaining past due for 30 days
or more shall be added to and become  part of the unpaid  principal  balance and
shall  bear  interest  at the  rate or rates  specified  in this  Note,  and any
reference below to "accrued  interest" shall refer to accrued interest which has
not become part of the unpaid  principal  balance.  Any remaining  principal and
interest  shall be due and  payable on March 1, 2020 or on any  earlier  date on
which the unpaid  principal  balance of this Note  becomes due and  payable,  by
acceleration or otherwise (the "Maturity  Date").  The unpaid principal  balance
shall  continue to bear interest after the Maturity Date at the Default Rate set
forth in this Note until and including the date on which it is paid in full.

      (c) Any regularly  scheduled monthly installment of principal and interest
that is  received  by Lender  before  the date it is due shall be deemed to have
been  received on the due date solely for the  purpose of  calculating  interest
due.

      4. Application of Payments. If at any time Lender receives,  from Borrower
or otherwise,  any amount applicable to the Indebtedness  which is less than all
amounts due and payable at such time,  Lender may apply that  payment to amounts
then due and  payable in any manner and in any order  determined  by Lender,  in
Lender's  discretion.  Borrower  agrees that neither  Lender's  acceptance  of a
payment  from  Borrower in an amount that is less than all amounts  then due and
payable nor Lender's  application of such payment shall  constitute or be deemed
to  constitute  either  a  waiver  of  the  unpaid  amounts  or  an  accord  and
satisfaction.

      5.  Security.  The  Indebtedness  is  secured,  among other  things,  by a
multifamily mortgage,  deed to secure debt or deed of trust dated as of the date
of this Note (the "Security Instrument"),  and reference is made to the Security
Instrument for other rights of Lender as to collateral for the Indebtedness.

      6.  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,
the entire  unpaid  principal  balance,  any accrued  interest,  the  prepayment
premium  payable under Paragraph 10, if any, and all other amounts payable under
this Note and any other Loan Document  shall at once become due and payable,  at
the option of Lender, without any prior notice to Borrower.  Lender may exercise
this option to accelerate regardless of any prior forbearance.

      7. Late Charge. If any monthly amount payable under this Note or under the
Security  Instrument or any other Loan Document is not received by Lender within
Ten (10) days after the amount is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, immediately
and without  demand by Lender,  a late charge  equal to Five (5) percent of such
amount.  Borrower  acknowledges  that its failure to make timely  payments  will
cause Lender to incur  additional  expenses in servicing and processing the loan
evidenced  by this Note (the  "Loan"),  and that it is extremely  difficult  and
impractical to determine  those  additional  expenses.  Borrower agrees that the
late charge payable pursuant to this Paragraph  represents a fair and reasonable
estimate,  taking into  account all  circumstances  existing on the date of this
Note,  of the  additional  expenses  Lender  will  incur by  reason of such late
payment.  The late  charge is  payable in  addition  to, and not in lieu of, any
interest payable at the Default Rate pursuant to Paragraph 8.

      8. Default  Rate. So long as (a) any monthly  installment  under this Note
remains  past due for 30 days or more,  or (b) any other  Event of  Default  has
occurred and is continuing,  interest under this Note shall accrue on the unpaid
principal  balance from the earlier of the due date of the first unpaid  monthly
installment or the occurrence of such other Event of Default, as applicable,  at
a rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of 4 percentage points above the
rate stated in the first  paragraph  of this Note or the maximum  interest  rate
which may be  collected  from  Borrower  under  applicable  law.  If the  unpaid
principal  balance and all accrued interest are not paid in full on the Maturity
Date, the unpaid principal  balance and all accrued interest shall bear interest
from the Maturity Date at the Default Rate.  Borrower also acknowledges that its
failure to make timely payments will cause Lender to incur  additional  expenses
in servicing and  processing  the Loan,  that,  during the time that any monthly
installment  under this Note is  delinquent  for more than 30 days,  Lender will
incur  additional  costs and  expenses  arising  from its loss of the use of the
money due and from the  adverse  impact on  Lender's  ability  to meet its other
obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities, and that it
is extremely  difficult and impractical to determine those  additional costs and
expenses.  Borrower  also  acknowledges  that,  during the time that any monthly
installment  under  this Note is  delinquent  for more than 30 days or any other
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  Lender's risk of nonpayment of
this Note will be materially  increased and Lender is entitled to be compensated
for such  increased  risk.  Borrower  agrees  that the  increase  in the rate of
interest  payable  under this Note to the  Default  Rate  represents  a fair and
reasonable estimate,  taking into account all circumstances existing on the date
of this Note, of the additional  costs and expenses  Lender will incur by reason
of the Borrower's  delinquent payment and the additional  compensation Lender is
entitled to receive for the  increased  risks of  nonpayment  associated  with a
delinquent loan.

      9.    Limits on Personal Liability.

      (a) Except as otherwise  provided in this Paragraph 9, Borrower shall have
no personal liability under this Note, the Security Instrument or any other Loan
Document for the repayment of the  Indebtedness  or for the  performance  of any
other  obligations  of Borrower  under the Loan  Documents,  and  Lender's  only
recourse for the  satisfaction of the  Indebtedness  and the performance of such
obligations  shall be Lender's  exercise of its rights and remedies with respect
to the Mortgaged  Property and any other  collateral  held by Lender as security
for the Indebtedness. This limitation on Borrower's liability shall not limit or
impair  Lender's  enforcement  of  its  rights  against  any  guarantor  of  the
Indebtedness or any guarantor of any obligations of Borrower.

      (b) Borrower  shall be personally  liable to Lender for the repayment of a
portion of the  Indebtedness  equal to Zero percent (0%) of the unpaid principal
balance of this Note,  plus any other  amounts for which  Borrower  has personal
liability under this Paragraph 9.

      (c) In addition to Borrower's  personal  liability  under  Paragraph 9(b),
Borrower  shall be  personally  liable to Lender for the  repayment of a further
portion of the Indebtedness  equal to any loss or damage suffered by Lender as a
result of (1) failure of Borrower to pay to Lender upon demand after an Event of
Default all Rents to which Lender is entitled under Section 3(a) of the Security
Instrument  and the amount of all security  deposits  collected by Borrower from
tenants  then in  residence;  (2)  failure of  Borrower  to apply all  insurance
proceeds and condemnation  proceeds as required by the Security  Instrument;  or
(3)  failure of Borrower to comply  with  Section  14(d) or (e) of the  Security
Instrument relating to the delivery of books and records, statements,  schedules
and reports.

      (d) For  purposes  of  determining  Borrower's  personal  liability  under
Paragraph  9(b)  and  Paragraph  9(c),  all  payments  made by  Borrower  or any
guarantor of this Note with respect to the Indebtedness and all amounts received
by Lender from the enforcement of its rights under the Security Instrument shall
be applied first to the portion of the  Indebtedness  for which  Borrower has no
personal liability.

      (e) Borrower shall become personally liable to Lender for the repayment of
all of the  Indebtedness  upon the occurrence of any of the following  Events of
Default: (1) Borrower's acquisition of any property or operation of any business
not  permitted  by  Section  33 of  the  Security  Instrument;  (2)  a  Transfer
(including,  but not  limited  to,  a lien or  encumbrance)  that is an Event of
Default  under  Section  21 of the  Security  Instrument,  other than a Transfer
consisting  solely of the  involuntary  removal or  involuntary  withdrawal of a
general  partner in a limited  partnership  or a manager in a limited  liability
company; or (3) fraud or written material  misrepresentation  by Borrower or any
officer,  director,  partner,  member or employee of Borrower in connection with
the  application  for or  creation  of the  Indebtedness  or any request for any
action or consent by Lender.

      (f) In addition to any personal  liability for the Indebtedness,  Borrower
shall  be  personally  liable  to  Lender  for  (1)  the  performance  of all of
Borrower's  obligations under Section 18 of the Security Instrument (relating to
environmental  matters);  (2) the costs of any audit under  Section 14(d) of the
Security  Instrument;  and (3) any  costs  and  expenses  incurred  by Lender in
connection  with the  collection of any amount for which  Borrower is personally
liable under this  Paragraph  9,  including  fees and out of pocket  expenses of
attorneys and expert witnesses and the costs of conducting any independent audit
of Borrower's  books and records to determine the amount for which  Borrower has
personal liability.

      (g)  To the  extent  that  Borrower  has  personal  liability  under  this
Paragraph 9, Lender may exercise its rights against Borrower  personally without
regard to whether Lender has exercised any rights against the Mortgaged Property
or any other security,  or pursued any rights against any guarantor,  or pursued
any other rights  available to Lender under this Note, the Security  Instrument,
any other Loan Document or applicable law. For purposes of this Paragraph 9, the
term "Mortgaged Property" shall not include any funds that (1) have been applied
by Borrower as required or  permitted by the  Security  Instrument  prior to the
occurrence  of an  Event of  Default  or (2)  Borrower  was  unable  to apply as
required  or  permitted  by the  Security  Instrument  because of a  bankruptcy,
receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.

      10.   Voluntary and Involuntary Prepayments.

      (a)  A  prepayment  premium  shall  be  payable  in  connection  with  any
prepayment made under this Note as provided below:

            (1)  Borrower  may  voluntarily  prepay all of the unpaid  principal
balance of this Note on the last  Business  Day of a calendar  month if Borrower
has given  Lender at least 30 days prior  notice of its  intention  to make such
prepayment.  Such prepayment shall be made by paying (A) the amount of principal
being prepaid,  (B) all accrued  interest,  (C) all other sums due Lender at the
time of such prepayment,  and (D) the prepayment premium calculated  pursuant to
Schedule A. For all purposes  including the accrual of interest,  any prepayment
received  by  Lender on any day other  than the last  calendar  day of the month
shall be deemed to have been  received on the last  calendar  day of such month.
For purposes of this Note, a "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or any other day on which Lender is not open for business. Borrower shall
not have the option to voluntarily  prepay less than all of the unpaid principal
balance.

            (2) Upon Lender's  exercise of any right of acceleration  under this
Note,  Borrower shall pay to Lender,  in addition to the entire unpaid principal
balance  of this  Note  outstanding  at the  time of the  acceleration,  (A) all
accrued interest and all other sums due Lender,  and (B) the prepayment  premium
calculated pursuant to Schedule A.

            (3) Any application by Lender of any collateral or other security to
the repayment of any portion of the unpaid principal  balance of this Note prior
to the Maturity Date and in the absence of acceleration  shall be deemed to be a
partial prepayment by Borrower, requiring the payment to Lender by Borrower of a
prepayment premium.  The amount of any such partial prepayment shall be computed
so as to provide to Lender a prepayment  premium computed pursuant to Schedule A
without Borrower having to pay out-of-pocket any additional amounts.

      (b)  Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of Paragraph  10(a),  no prepayment
premium  shall be payable with respect to (A) any  prepayment  made no more than
180 days before the Maturity Date, or (B) any  prepayment  occurring as a result
of the  application of any insurance  proceeds or  condemnation  award under the
Security Instrument.

      (c)   Schedule A is hereby incorporated by reference into this Note.

      (d) Any permitted or required prepayment of less than the unpaid principal
balance of this Note shall not extend or postpone the due date of any subsequent
monthly  installments or change the amount of such  installments,  unless Lender
agrees otherwise in writing.

      (e)  Borrower  recognizes  that any  prepayment  of the  unpaid  principal
balance of this Note,  whether  voluntary or  involuntary  or  resulting  from a
default  by  Borrower,   will  result  in  Lender's  incurring  loss,  including
reinvestment loss,  additional expense and frustration or impairment of Lender's
ability to meet its  commitments  to third  parties.  Borrower  agrees to pay to
Lender  upon demand  damages for the  detriment  caused by any  prepayment,  and
agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
such damages.  Borrower  therefore  acknowledges and agrees that the formula for
calculating  prepayment premiums set forth on Schedule A represents a reasonable
estimate of the damages Lender will incur because of a prepayment.

      (f) Borrower further  acknowledges that the prepayment  premium provisions
of this  Note  are a  material  part of the  consideration  for  the  Loan,  and
acknowledges that the terms of this Note are in other respects more favorable to
Borrower as a result of the  Borrower's  voluntary  agreement to the  prepayment
premium provisions.

      11.  Costs and  Expenses.  Borrower  shall  pay all  expenses  and  costs,
including fees and out-of-pocket  expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and
costs of investigation, incurred by Lender as a result of any default under this
Note or in connection with efforts to collect any amount due under this Note, or
to enforce the provisions of any of the other Loan  Documents,  including  those
incurred in post-judgment  collection  efforts and in any bankruptcy  proceeding
(including  any action  for relief  from the  automatic  stay of any  bankruptcy
proceeding) or judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding.

      12.  Forbearance.  Any  forbearance  by Lender in exercising  any right or
remedy under this Note, the Security  Instrument,  or any other Loan Document or
otherwise  afforded by applicable  law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the
exercise of that or any other right or remedy.  The  acceptance by Lender of any
payment after the due date of such  payment,  or in an amount which is less than
the required payment,  shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to require prompt
payment  when due of all other  payments or to exercise any right or remedy with
respect to any  failure to make  prompt  payment.  Enforcement  by Lender of any
security for  Borrower's  obligations  under this Note shall not  constitute  an
election by Lender of remedies so as to preclude the exercise of any other right
or remedy available to Lender.

      13. Waivers.  Presentment,  demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of
acceleration,  notice of intent to demand or  accelerate  payment  or  maturity,
presentment  for  payment,  notice  of  nonpayment,   grace,  and  diligence  in
collecting  the  Indebtedness  are  waived by  Borrower  and all  endorsers  and
guarantors of this Note and all other third party obligors.

      14. Loan Charges. If any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or
other charges  permitted to be collected  from  Borrower in connection  with the
Loan is  interpreted  so that any interest or other  charge  provided for in any
Loan  Document,  whether  considered  separately  or together with other charges
provided  for in any other Loan  Document,  violates  that law,  and Borrower is
entitled to the benefit of that law, that  interest or charge is hereby  reduced
to the extent  necessary  to eliminate  that  violation.  The  amounts,  if any,
previously paid to Lender in excess of the permitted amounts shall be applied by
Lender to reduce the unpaid  principal  balance of this Note. For the purpose of
determining  whether any applicable law limiting the amount of interest or other
charges  permitted  to  be  collected  from  Borrower  has  been  violated,  all
Indebtedness  that  constitutes  interest,  as well as all other charges made in
connection with the Indebtedness that constitute interest, shall be deemed to be
allocated and spread ratably over the stated term of the Note.  Unless otherwise
required by applicable  law, such  allocation and spreading shall be effected in
such a manner that the rate of interest  so computed is uniform  throughout  the
stated term of the Note.

      15.   Commercial Purpose.  Borrower represents that the Indebtedness is
being  incurred by Borrower solely for the purpose of carrying on a business
or commercial enterprise, and not for personal, family or household purposes.

      16.   Counting of Days.  Except where otherwise specifically provided,

                                   SCHEDULE A
                               PREPAYMENT PREMIUM

Any prepayment premium payable under Paragraph 10 of this Note shall be computed
as follows:

      (a) If the  prepayment  is made between the date of this Note and the date
that is 180 months after the first day of the first calendar month following the
date of this Note (the "Yield Maintenance Period"), the prepayment premium shall
be the greater of:

      (i)   1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of this Note; or

      (ii)  the product obtained by multiplying:

            (A)   the amount of principal being prepaid,
                  by

            (B)   the excess (if any) of the Monthly Note Rate over the
                  Assumed Reinvestment Rate,
                  by

            (C)   the Present Value Factor.

            For purposes of subparagraph  (ii), the following  definitions shall
            apply:

            Monthly Note Rate: one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual interest rate
            of the Note, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits.

            Prepayment Date:  in the case of a voluntary prepayment, the date
            on which the prepayment is made; in any other case, the date on
            which Lender accelerates the unpaid principal balance of the Note.

            Assumed  Reinvestment Rate:  one-twelfth (1/12) of the yield rate as
            of the date 5 Business Days before the Prepayment Date, on the 9.25%
            U.S. Treasury  Security due February,  2016, as reported in The Wall
            Street Journal, expressed as a decimal calculated to five digits. In
            the event that no yield is published on the applicable  date for the
            Treasury Security used to determine the Assumed  Reinvestment  Rate,
            Lender,  in its discretion,  shall select the non-callable  Treasury
            Security  maturing  in  the  same  year  as  the  Treasury  Security
            specified  above with the lowest yield  published in The Wall Street
            Journal as of the applicable  date. If the publication of such yield
            rates in The Wall  Street  Journal is  discontinued  for any reason,
            Lender  shall select a security  with a comparable  rate and term to
            the Treasury  Security  used to determine  the Assumed  Reinvestment
            Rate.  The  selection  of an  alternate  security  pursuant  to this
            Paragraph shall be made in Lender's discretion.

            Present Value Factor: the factor that discounts to present value the
            costs  resulting  to Lender from the  difference  in interest  rates
            during the months remaining in the Yield Maintenance  Period,  using
            the Assumed  Reinvestment  Rate as the discount  rate,  with monthly
            compounding, expressed numerically as follows:

                                  [OBJECT OMITTED]

            n = number of months remaining in Yield Maintenance Period

            ARR = Assumed Reinvestment Rate

      (b)  If  the  prepayment  is  made  after  the  expiration  of  the  Yield
Maintenance  Period  but more  than 180  days  before  the  Maturity  Date,  the
prepayment premium shall be 1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.
