                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  General

    The accompanying financial statements, footnotes and discussions should be
    read in conjunction with the financial statements, related footnotes and
    discussions contained in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year
    ended December 31, 1994. Certain accounts have been reclassified in order
    to conform to the current period.

    The financial information contained herein is unaudited.  In the opinion
    of management, however, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
    of such financial information have been included. All adjustments are of a
    normal recurring nature.

    The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995
    and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
    the full year.

2.  Transactions with Related Parties

    (a)  An affiliate of NPI, Inc. received reimbursements of administrative

         expenses amounting to $78,000 and $66,000 during the six months ended
         June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  These reimbursements are
         included in general and administrative expenses.

    (b)  An affiliate of NPI, Inc. is entitled to receive a management fee
         equal to 5% of gross receipts from certain properties it manages. 
         For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, affiliates of NPI,
         Inc. received $68,000 and $43,000, respectively.  These fees are
         included in operating expenses.

    (c)  In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the general partner is
         entitled to receive a partnership management fee based on cash
         available for distribution.  For the six month periods ended June 30,
         1995 and 1994, these fees totaled $36,000.  These fees are included
         in general and administrative expenses.  In addition, a $13,000
         distribution was made to the general partner during the six month
         periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

3.  Contingency

    On January 24, 1990, a settlement agreement was executed by and between
    the Partnership and certain defendants in connection with legal
    proceedings at Commonwealth Centre.  Lincoln Property Company ("Lincoln"),
    one of the defendants, provided the Partnership with a deficiency
    certificate totaling $1,250,000 pursuant to Lincoln's company wide debt
    restructuring plan.  Effective December 31, 1994, the obligors under this
    collateral pool agreement exercised their right to extend the maturity
    date of the deficiency certificates to December 31, 1997.  It is
    anticipated that any payments made to the Partnership on account of its
    $1,250,000 face amount deficiency certificate will not be made, if at all,
    until such time.  The amount the Partnership will ultimately receive under
    the certificate, which is subject to contingencies, is uncertain. 
    Accordingly, the certificate will be recorded in the financial statements
    when payment is received.

4.  Legal Proceedings

    Adrian Charles Pastori, on his own behalf and for all others similarly
    situated vs. Century Properties Fund XX et al., California Superior Court
    for County of San Diego, Case No. 673150.

    On January 20, 1995, the Court sustained the Partnership's motion that the
    plaintiff's case did not set forth the cause of action upon which relief
    could be granted and again granted the plaintiff leave to file an amended
    complaint.  On June 21, 1995, the demurrer previously granted by the Court
    was overruled.  Registrant has filed its answer in the case and intends to
    vigorously defend this action.  The ultimate outcome of the litigation
    cannot presently be determined, however, MGP does not believe that the

    litigation will have a material adverse effect to the Partnership.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


This item should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and
other items contained elsewhere in this Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant's real estate properties consist of three office buildings located
in North Carolina, Virginia, and Kansas, two business parks located in Texas
and North Carolina and two apartment complexes located in Florida and South
Carolina.  The properties are leased to tenants subject to leases with
original lease terms ranging from six months to one year for the residential
properties and with remaining lease terms of up to six years for the
commercial properties.  Registrant receives rental income from its properties
and is responsible for operating expenses, administrative expenses, capital
improvements and debt service payments.  All seven of Registrant's properties
generated positive cash flow from operations during the six months ended June
30, 1995.

Registrant uses working capital reserves from any undistributed cash flow from
operations and proceeds from cash investments as its primary source of
liquidity.  Excess cash from operations was not distributed for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.  Cash generated from operations will continue to be used
to make the required payments to the Promissory Note Holders and for working
capital reserves.  It is not currently anticipated that Registrant will make
any distributions from operations in the near future. 

Liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents improved by $458,000 at June 30,
1995, as compared to December 31, 1994.  Registrant's $820,000 of net cash
provided by operating activities was only partially offset by $349,000 of cash
used for improvements to real estate (investing activities) and $13,000 of
cash distributions to the general partner (financing activities).  Registrant
has no plans for major capital improvements during the next twelve months. 
All other increases (decreases) in certain assets and liabilities are the
result of the timing of the receipt and payment of various operating
activities. 

Working capital reserves are being invested in a money market account or
repurchase agreements secured by United States Treasury obligations.  The
Managing General Partner believes that, if market conditions remain relatively
stable, cash flow from operations, when combined with working capital
reserves, will be sufficient to fund capital improvements and required
interest payments to the Promissory Note Holders until November 30, 1998, the
maturity date of the notes.  At that time Registrant will have to extend the
due dates of these notes, find replacement financing, or sell properties.


With respect to Limited Partners, it appears that the investment objective of
capital growth will not be attained and that a significant portion of invested
capital will not be returned to investors and any portions that are returned
will come from cash flow.  The extent to which invested capital is returned 
to investors is dependent upon the success of the performance of Registrant's
properties and the markets in which such properties are located. It is
anticipated that many of the properties will continue to be held longer than
originally expected.  The ability to hold and operate theses properties is
dependent on Registrant's ability to obtain additional financing, refinancing,
or debt restructuring as required.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Real Estate Market

The national real estate market has suffered from the effects of the real
estate recession including, but not limited to, a downward trend in market
values of existing properties.  In addition, the bailout of the savings and
loan associations and sales of foreclosed properties by auction reduced market
values and caused a further restriction on the ability to obtain credit.  As a
result, Registrant's ability to refinance or sell its existing properties may
be restricted.  These factors caused a decline in market property values and
serve to reduce market rental rates and/or sales prices.  Compounding these
difficulties for residential properties have been relatively low interest
rates, which encourage existing and potential residential tenants to purchase
homes.  In addition, there has been a significant decline nationally in new
household formation. Management believes, however, that the emergence of new
institutional purchasers, including real estate investment trusts and
insurance companies should create a more favorable market value for
Registrant's properties in the future.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results improved by $645,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to June 30, 1994, as revenues increased by $518,000 and expenses
decreased by $127,000.

Revenues increased by $518,000 due to increases in rental income of $483,000
and interest income of $35,000.  Rental revenues increased due to an increase
in occupancy and rental rates during the period at Registrant's Crabtree
Office Center, Highland Park Commerce Center, and Metcalf 103 Office Park
properties, which was partially offset by decreased occupancy at Registrant's
Commonwealth Centre.  Interest income increased primarily due to an increase
in average working capital reserves available for investment, coupled with an
increase in interest rates.


Expenses decreased by $127,000 due to decreases in operating expenses of
$58,000, interest expense of $45,000 and general and administrative expenses
of $25,000, which were slightly offset by an increase in depreciation expense
of $1,000.  Operating expenses declined primarily due to a decrease in legal
expenses incurred at Commonwealth Centre in connection with a settlement with
a tenant in the prior year comparative period.  Interest expense declined due
to the satisfaction of the note payable encumbering Registrant's Corners
Apartments property in June 1994.  General and administrative expenses
declined primarily due to a decrease in asset management fees.  All other
expenses remained relatively constant.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results improved by $371,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to June 30, 1994, as revenues increased by $278,000 and
expenses decreased by $93,000.

Revenues increased by $278,000 due to increases in rental income of $264,000
and interest income of $14,000.  Rental revenues increased due to an increase
in occupancy and rental rates during the period at Registrant's Crabtree
Office Center, Highland Park Commerce Center, and the Corners Apartments,

which was partially offset by decreased occupancy at Registrant's Commonwealth
property.  Interest income increased primarily due to an increase in average
working capital reserves available for investment, coupled with an increase in
interest rates.

Expenses decreased by $93,000 due to decreases in operating expenses of
$57,000, general and administrative expenses of $15,000, and interest expense
of $22,000, which were slightly offset by an increase in depreciation expense
of $1,000.  Operating expenses declined primarily due to a decrease in legal
expenses incurred at Commonwealth Centre in connection with a settlement with
a tenant in the prior year comparative period.  Interest expense declined due
to the satisfaction of the note payable encumbering Registrant's Corners
Apartments property in June 1994.  General and administrative expenses
declined primarily due to a decrease in asset management fees.  All other
expenses remained relatively constant.
