Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Properties Fund XX
(the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on NPI Equity Investments II,
Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner") and its affiliates for the
management and administration of all partnership activities.  The Partnership
Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement
of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
  
The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"), National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"), and affiliates of NPI
were charged to expense in 1996 and 1995:

For the period from January 19, 1996, to March 31, 1996, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current
year's master policy.  The current agent assumed the financial obligations to
the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.


Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties - continued

The general partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners III, a California general
partnership whose general partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation
("FCMC"), a California corporation, Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California
general partnership, and Fox Partners 84, a California general partnership.

On December 6, 1993, the shareholders of FCMC entered into a Voting Trust
Agreement with NPI Equity pursuant to which NPI Equity was granted the right to
vote 100 percent of the outstanding stock of FCMC and NPI Equity became the
managing general partner of FRI.  As a result, NPI Equity became responsible for
the operation and management of the business and affairs of the Partnership and
the other investment partnerships originally sponsored by FCMC and/or FRI.  NPI
Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NPI.  The shareholders of FCMC and the
partners in FRI retained indirect economic interests in the Partnership and such
other investment limited partnerships, but have ceased to be responsible for the
operation and management of the Partnership and such other partnerships.

On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI entered into an agreement to sell to
IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Insignia, a Delaware
corporation, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI, for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The closing of the transactions
contemplated by the above mentioned agreement (the "Closing") occurred on
January 19, 1996.

Upon the Closing, the officers and directors of NPI and the Managing General
Partner resigned and IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each
of those entities to be elected.  

Note C - 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 obligators 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.

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

three office buildings, and two business parks.  The following table sets forth

1996 and 1995:

The Managing General Partner attributes the decreases in occupancy at
Commonwealth Centre and Crabtree Office Center to significant tenants vacating
in 1995.  Management at both properties has been able to execute leases with
additional tenants to partially offset these declines in occupancy.  Occupancy
increased at Metcalf 103 Office Park due to the addition of a tenant occupying
23% of the total building space in the fourth quarter of 1995. The increase in
occupancy at Highland Park Commerce Center is a result of two existing tenants
leasing additional space and additional new tenants moving to the property in
1995.

The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
approximately $327,000 versus a net loss of approximately $338,000 for the same
period of 1995.  In general, operations remained consistent from 1995 to 1996. 
The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to increased rental income as
a result of increases in occupancy at three of the Partnership's properties as
noted above and rental rate increases at the two apartment complexes.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expense.  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.

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $5,902,000, as
compared to $4,804,000 at March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating
activities increased primarily as a result of an increase in prepayments of
rent. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is due to a reduction in
property improvements and replacements.

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 various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. 
The mortgage indebtedness consists of Non-Recourse Promissory Notes totalling
$45,556,000 in principal and accrued interest.  These notes mature on November
30, 1998 at which time the Partnership will have to extend the due dates of
these notes, find replacement financing, or sell properties.  Future cash
distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations,
property sales and the availability of cash reserves.  No cash distributions to
the limited partners were made in 1995 or during the three months ended March
31, 1996.  At this time, it appears that the original investment objective of
capital growth from inception of the Partnership will not be attained and that
investors will not receive a return of all of their invested capital.
