                                    (Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Century Pension Income Fund
XXIV (the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of Fox Capital Management Corporation, a California corporation (the
"Managing General Partner" or "FCMC"), all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.  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, 1996.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to
the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

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

The General Partner of the Partnership is Fox Partners VI, a California general
partnership, whose general partners are FCMC and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a
California general partnership.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during the first half of 1996,
affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired all of the
issued and outstanding shares of stock of FCMC, NPI Equity Investments II, Inc.
("NPI Equity"), the managing general partner of FRI, and National Property
Investors, Inc. ("NPI").  In connection with these transactions, affiliates of
Insignia appointed new officers and directors of NPI Equity and FCMC.

The following transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were
charged to expense in 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):


                                                      For the Nine Months Ended
                                                            September 30,
                                                        1997            1996
Partnership management fee (included in general
  and administrative expenses)                         $ 93             $ 93
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
  in general and administrative expenses)                71              128


For the period of January 19, 1996 to August 31, 1997, 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 master
policy.  The 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.

The general partner received cash distributions of approximately $8,000 during
both the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Partnership did not receive a distribution from the Joint Venture during the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 or 1996.

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

The Partnership's investment properties consist of three wholly-owned shopping
centers, as well as three business parks and one shopping center owned by two
unconsolidated joint ventures between the Partnership and an affiliated
partnership.  The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the
properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:


                                                      Average

The Partnership's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was
approximately $639,000 versus approximately $621,000 for the same period of
1996.  The net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997, was
approximately $202,000 compared to net income of approximately $144,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996.

The increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 is
primarily attributable to the decrease in operating and general and
administrative expenses.  The decrease in operating expense is attributable to
an increase in worker's compensation expense in 1996 due to the settlement of
1992 and 1993 audits.  The decrease in general and administrative expense is
attributable to a decrease in reimbursements for services of affiliates.  The
decrease in these reimbursements is directly attributable to the combined
transition efforts of the Greenville, South Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia
administrative offices during the 1995 year end close, preparation of the 1995
10-K and the tax return (including the limited partner K-1's) and transition of
asset management responsibilities to the new administration during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.  Included in operating expense is approximately
$50,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of major
landscaping, parking lot repairs, exterior building repairs and painting for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Included in operating expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, is approximately $39,000 comprised primarily of
major landscaping and parking lot repairs.

Partially offsetting the above decreases in expenses is a decrease in rental
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and a decrease in income
from unconsolidated joint ventures for both the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997.  The decrease in rental income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 is attributable to the excess tenant reimbursements received
in 1996 at Plantation Pointe related to 1995 expense recoveries.  The decrease
in income of unconsolidated joint ventures is attributable to increased
maintenance expenses consisting of exterior painting and roof repairs at Coral
Palm Plaza, in addition to an increase in property taxes for 1997. Also
contributing to the decrease is a decrease in tenant reimbursements at Coral
Palm Plaza.

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 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 September 30, 1997, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately
$1,938,000 as compared to approximately $1,875,000 at September 30, 1996.  Net
cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the decrease in
receivables and other assets. The decrease in receivables and other assets is
primarily attributable to the decrease in common area maintenance receivables
due to the timing of receipts.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased
due to a contribution by the Partnership to the Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture
in 1996.  The contribution was necessary to help fund tenant improvements at
Coral Palm.  Also contributing to the decrease in cash used in investing
activities is a decrease in purchases of property improvements and replacements.
Net cash used in financing activities remained constant for the nine month
periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in
1997, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses
have been budgeted.  These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be
incurred only if cash is available from operations.

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.  Such assets are currently
thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The
Partnership distributed approximately $833,000 to the partners (including
approximately $8,000 to the general partner) during both the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996.  A distribution of approximately $278,000 to the
partners is to occur in Novemer 1997.  The limited partners will receive
approximately $275,000 ($3.75 per limited partner unit) and the general partner
will receive approximately $3,000.
