Item 1. Business
Century Pension Income Fund XXIV (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") was organized in June 1984 as a California limited partnership under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the California Corporations Code. Fox Partners VI, a California general partnership, is the general partner of the Registrant. Fox Capital Management Corporation (the "Managing General Partner") and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI") are the general partners of Fox Partners VI.
The Registrant's Registration Statement, filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (No. 33-1261), was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 1986. The Registrant marketed its securities pursuant to its Prospectus dated June 9, 1986, which was thereafter supplemented (hereinafter the "Prospectus"). This Prospectus was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The principal business of the Registrant is to acquire, manage and ultimately sell income-producing real properties. The Registrant is a "closed" limited partnership real estate syndicate of the unspecified asset type.
Beginning in July 1986, the Registrant offered $50,000,000 in Limited Partnership Assignee Units. The offering was completed on March 31, 1988, with Limited Partnership Assignee Units having an initial price of $36,670,500 being sold. The net proceeds of this offering were used to acquire three properties and interests in four other properties through two joint ventures with an affiliated partnership. The Registrant's property portfolio is geographically diversified with properties acquired in five states. See "Item 2, Properties" below for a description of the Registrant's properties.
The Registrant is involved in only one industry segment as described above. The Registrant does not engage in any foreign operations or derive revenues from foreign services.
Both the income and expenses of operating the properties which are owned by the Registrant are subject to factors beyond the Registrant's control, such as oversupply of similar rental facilities as a result of overbuilding, increases in unemployment or population shifts, changes in zoning laws or changes in patterns of needs of the users. Expenses, such as local real estate taxes and management expenses, are subject to change and cannot always be reflected in rental increases due to market conditions or existing leases. The profitability and marketability of developed real property may be adversely affected by changes in general and local economic conditions and in prevailing interest rates, and favorable changes in such factors will not necessarily enhance the profitability or marketability of such property. Even under the most favorable market conditions there is no guarantee that any property owned by the Registrant can be sold by it or, if sold, that such sale can be made upon favorable terms.
It is possible that legislation on the state or local level may be enacted in states where the Registrant's properties are located which may include some form of rent control. 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 Managing General Partner is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which such existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties owned by the Registrant.
The Registrant 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 Registrant 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 "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this Form 10-K.
The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services are performed by the Managing General Partner, Insignia Commercial Group, L.P., an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"), the ultimate parent company of the Managing General Partner, and a third party management company. Pursuant to a management agreement between them, Insignia Commercial Group, L.P., and a third party management company provide property management services to the Registrant.
The real estate business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive, and the Partnership is not a significant factor in this industry. The Registrant's properties are subject to competition from similar properties in the vicinity in which the properties are located. In addition, various limited partnerships have been formed by the General Partners and/or their affiliates to engage in business which may be competitive with the Registrant.
In January 1995, the Registrant's Coral Palm Plaza joint venture in which the Registrant has a one-third interest received an $800,000 payment from a former significant tenant that had occupied 27,000 square feet at Coral Palm Plaza. During June 1995, management re-leased 20,000 square feet of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized a portion of the lease buy-out in the amount of $517,000. During September 1995, management re-leased the remaining 7,000 square feet of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized the remaining portion of the lease buy-out fee as rental income in 1995, which represents the amortization of the fee prior to the new tenants' lease commencement dates.
In addition, in October 1995, the Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture accepted a lease buy-out from a tenant that occupied 11,300 square feet of space for $300,000. Management is currently attempting to release the vacated space.
From March 1988 through December 1993, the Registrant's affairs were managed by Metric Management, Inc. ("MMI") or a predecessor. On December 16, 1993, the services agreement with MMI was modified and, as a result thereof, the Managing General Partner began directly providing real estate advisory and asset management services to the Registrant. As advisor, such affiliate provides all partnership accounting and administrative services, investment management, and supervisory services over property management and leasing.
On December 6, 1993, the shareholders of the Managing General Partner entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("NPI Equity II") pursuant to which NPI Equity II was granted the right to vote 100% of the outstanding stock of the Managing General Partner. In addition, NPI Equity II became the managing partner of FRI. As a result, NPI Equity II indirectly became responsible for the operation and management of the business and affairs of the Registrant and the other investment partnerships originally sponsored by the Managing General Partner and/or FRI. The individuals who had served previously as partners of FRI and as officers and directors of the Managing General Partner contributed their general partnership interests in FRI to a newly formed limited partnership, Portfolio Realty Associates, L.P. ("PRA"), in exchange for limited partnership interests in PRA. The shareholders of the Managing General Partner and the prior partners of FRI, in their capacity as limited partners of PRA, continue to hold, indirectly, certain economic interests in the Registrant and such other investment limited partnerships, but have ceased to be responsible for the operation and management of the Registrant and such other partnerships.
On January 19, 1996, IFGP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia, acquired for $1,000,000 all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"). NPI is the sole shareholder of NPI Equity II, the Managing General Partner of FRI, and the entity which controlled the Managing General Partner. In addition, on June 1996, an affiliate of Insignia purchased all of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Managing General Partner. As a result of the foregoing transactions, IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of NPI Equity II and the Managing General Partner to be elected. See "Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant."

The Managing General Partner attributes the increased occupancy at Butler Square Shopping Center primarily to the growing local economy which has been strongly influenced by the introduction of two major employers into the market.
As noted under "Item 1. Business," the real estate industry is highly competitive. All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to competition from other commercial buildings in the area. The Managing General Partner believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This item should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other items contained elsewhere in this report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant's real estate properties consist of three shopping center properties and investments in two unconsolidated joint ventures. The three shopping centers are located in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The unconsolidated joint venture properties include one shopping center in Florida and three business parks in Minnesota. The properties are leased to tenants subject to leases with remaining lease terms of up to twelve years. The Registrant receives rental income from its properties and is responsible for operating expenses, administrative expenses and capital improvements. All of the Registrant's properties generated positive cash flow for the year ended December 31, 1996.
At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately $1,929,000 as compared to $2,190,000 at December 31, 1995. Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities due to timing of payments to vendors. Net cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to a distribution from unconsolidated joint ventures in 1995, as opposed to a Partnership contribution to Coral Palm in 1996. Partially offsetting this increase in cash used in investing activities was a decrease in property improvements and replacements due to 1995 tenant improvements at the Partnership's Butler Square Center. Net cash used in financing activities remained constant representing distributions to the partners for both years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The Registrant uses working capital reserves provided from any undistributed cash flow from operations and distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures as its primary source of liquidity. For the long term, cash from operations and distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures will remain the Registrant's primary source of liquidity.
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 or is received from the capital reserve account.
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 property 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 a total of $1,111,000 to the partners during each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994. These distributions included $11,000 to the general partner, and $1,100,000 ($15.00 per unit) to the limited partners. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, property sales, and the availability of cash reserves, however, quarterly distributions are expected to continue throughout 1997. The level of such distributions will be contingent upon successful future operations.
The business in which the Registrant is engaged is highly competitive, and the Registrant is not a significant factor in its industry. Each investment property is located in or near a major urban area and, accordingly, competes for rentals not only with similar properties in its immediate area but with hundreds of similar properties throughout the urban area. Such competition is primarily on the basis of location, rents, services and amenities. In addition, the Registrant competes with significant numbers of individuals and organizations (including similar partnerships, real estate investment trusts and financial institutions) with respect to the sale of improved real properties, primarily on the basis of the prices and terms of such transactions.
Results of Operations
1996 Compared to 1995
The Partnership's net income for the year ended December 31, 1996, was approximately $986,000 versus approximately $1,017,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The decline in net income is attributable to a decrease in equity in income of the unconsolidated 33.3% owned joint venture, and increases in operating and general and administrative expenses. The decrease in equity in joint venture operations is the result of the recognition of income in 1995 relating to a lease buy-out at the Partnership's unconsolidated joint venture property, Coral Palm Plaza. In December 1994, Coral Palm Plaza accepted a lease buy-out of $800,000 from a significant tenant that had occupied 27,000 square feet. The payment was received in 1995. During 1995, Coral Palm Plaza re- leased all of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized the remaining portion of the lease buy-out in the amount of $699,000 as other income.
Operating expense increased due to parking lot repairs and increased management fees at Butler Square. Included in operating expense is approximately $21,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of exterior building, exterior painting and parking lot for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase in general and administrative expenses is partially due to an increase in expense reimbursements. The increase in expense reimbursements during the year ended December 31, 1996, is directly attributable to the combined transition efforts of the Greenville, South Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia administrative offices during the year-end close, preparation of the 10-K and tax returns (including the limited partner K-1's), filing for the first two quarterly reports and transition of asset management responsibilities to the new administration. These increases were partially offset by increased rental revenue at Butler Square due to increased occupancy.
1995 Compared to 1994
Operating results improved by $1,888,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to an increase in revenues of $1,997,000, which was only slightly offset by an increase in expenses of $109,000.
Revenues increased by $1,997,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to increases in equity in unconsolidated joint venture operations of $1,752,000, rental income of $206,000 and interest income of $19,000. Equity in unconsolidated joint ventures' operations increased due to the Registrant's $1,500,000 allocated portion of the provision for impairment of value recorded in 1994 on the Coral Palm Plaza joint venture property and the recognition of the termination payment accepted from a major tenant at Coral Palm Plaza in 1995. Rental income increased primarily due to increased rental rates and occupancy at the Registrant's Butler Square Center property. Interest income increased primarily due to an increase in average working capital reserves available for investment.
Expenses increased by $109,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to increases in operating expenses of $76,000, general and administrative expenses of $10,000 and depreciation expense of $23,000. Operating expense increased primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance and an increase in amortization of leasing commissions at the Registrant's Butler Square Center property. Depreciation expense increased due to significant tenant improvements at the Registrant's Butler Square Center property. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant.
During 1996, 1995, and 1994, the Registrant was allocated its equity income (loss) in the operations of, and in 1995 and 1994, received cash distributions from, the unconsolidated joint ventures. The financial statements for the unconsolidated joint ventures are presented in Exhibit 99.1. The 1996 Results of Operations compared to the 1995 Results of Operations was discussed above. A discussion of their 1995 Results of Operations compared to their 1994 Results of Operations follows:
Equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures' operations increased $1,752,000 in 1995, as compared to 1994, primarily due to the recognition of the termination payment accepted from a major tenant at the Registrant's Coral Palm Plaza property and the provision for impairment recognized in 1994. Revenues at Minneapolis Business Parks Joint Venture properties increased due to an increase in occupancy at the joint venture's Alpha Business Center and Westpoint Business Center properties and an increase in rental rates at all of the Registrant's Minneapolis Business Park Joint Venture properties, which was only slightly offset by a decrease in occupancy at the Registrant's Plymouth Service Center property. Expenses increased at all of the Registrant's Minneapolis Business Park Joint Venture properties due to an increase in repairs and maintenance.
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.

Century Pension Income Fund XXIV Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1996
Note A - Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Century Pension Income Fund XXIV (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1984 under the laws of the State of California to acquire, manage and ultimately sell income-producing real estate. The Partnership currently owns three shopping centers located in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The Partnership also holds joint venture interests in a shopping center in Florida and in three business parks in Minnesota. The general partner is Fox Partners VI, a California general partnership, whose general partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC"), a California corporation and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership. The capital contributions of $36,670,500 ($500 per assignee unit) were made by Limited Partnership Assignee Unit Holders.
On December 6, 1993, the shareholders of FCMC entered into a Voting Trust Agreement with NPI Equity Investments II, Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner") 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 National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI, Inc."). The shareholders of FCMC and the partners in FRI retain 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 January 19, 1996, the stockholders of NPI, Inc. sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of NPI, Inc. to an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"). In addition, on June 1996, an affiliate of Insignia purchased all of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Managing General Partner. As a result of the foregoing transactions, IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of NPI Equity II and the Managing General Partner to be elected. See "Item 10, Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant."
Basis of Presentation:
The Partnership's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Distributions:
Cash distributions from operations were made at annualized rates of 3.0 percent of original capital contributions for each of the years 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Use 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Leases:
The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with "Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13."
Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease. This straight-line basis recognized $39,000 more in rental income than was collected in 1996. This amount will be collected in future years as cash collections under the terms of the leases exceed the straight-line basis of revenue recognition.
For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Partnership maintains cash balances at institutions insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances in excess of $100,000 are usually invested in money market accounts and repurchase agreements, which are collateralized by United States Treasury obligations. At certain times, the cash balances may exceed these insured levels.
Fair Value
In 1995, the Partnership implemented "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," which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amount of the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.
Real Estate:
Real estate is stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. In 1995, the Partnership adopted "SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. The adoption of the SFAS had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
Depreciation:
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 30 to 39 years for buildings and improvements and three to six years for furnishings.
Deferred Leasing Commissions:
Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related leases. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $71,000 and $72,000, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Assignee Unit:
Net income (loss) per limited partnership assignee unit is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to the unit holders by 73,341 units outstanding.
Income Taxes:
Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership.
Net Income Allocation:
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the general partner was allocated its one percent continuing interest in the Partnership's net loss and taxable loss and cash distributions. Net income and taxable income have been allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the amount of cash distributions received by the general partner.
Reclassification:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 balances to conform to the 1996 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 following transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were charged to expense in 1996, 1995 and 1994 (in thousands):
For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 1995 1994
Partnership management fee (included in general and administrative expenses) (i) $123 $123 $123 Real estate tax reduction fees -- 16 10 Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in general and administrative expenses) 126 97 88
(i) The Partnership Agreement provides for the payment of a partnership management fee to the general partner equal to ten percent of cash available for distribution. This management fee is intended to defray some of the expenses related to services provided by the general partner, or an affiliate, but not reimbursed by the Partnership.
For the period from January 19, 1996, to December 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.
The general partner received cash distributions of $11,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. 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 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 financial position of Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes To Financial Statements
Note A - Organization And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization:
Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture (the "Partnership") is a general partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of California to acquire Coral Palm Plaza, a shopping center located in Coral Springs, Florida. The general partners are Century Pension Income Fund XXIII ("XXIII") and Century Pension Income Fund XXIV ("XXIV"), California limited partnerships affiliated through their general partners.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.
Leases:
The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with "Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13."
Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease. This straight-line basis recognized $119,000 more in rental income than was collected in 1996. This amount will be collected in future years as cash collections under the terms of the leases exceed the straight-line basis of revenue recognition.
For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases.
Investment Properties:
Real estate is stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. In 1995, the Partnership adopted "SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Asset to be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. The adoption of the SFAS had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
Depreciation:
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 39 years for buildings and improvements.
Deferred Leasing Commission:
Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related leases, which range from one to eleven years. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $85,000 and $90,000, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Allocation:
Net income (loss) is allocated based on the ratio of each partner's capital contribution to the joint venture.
Income Taxes:
Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership.
Reclassification:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 balances to conform to the 1996 presentation.
Note B - Related Party Transactions
During 1996 and 1995, the Partnership paid an affiliate of the general partner a $18,000 and $16,000 fee, respectively, relating to a successful real estate tax appeal for the joint venture. These fees were allocated 66.67% to XXIII and 33.33% to XXIV, in accordance with the partnership agreement.
Note C - Allowance for impairment of Value
During 1994, based upon current economic conditions and projected future operational cash flows, the Partnership determined that the decline in value of the Coral Palm Plaza Shopping Center was other then temporary and that recovery of its carrying value was not likely. Accordingly, the property's carrying value was reduced by $4,500,000 to an amount equal to its estimated fair value. Due to the current real estate market it is reasonably possible that the Partnership's estimate of fair value will change within the next year.
Note D - Termination Agreement with Former Tenant
In December 1994, the Partnership accepted a lease buy-out of $800,000 from a significant tenant that had occupied 27,000 square feet. The payment was received in 1995. During 1995, management re-leased all of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized the remaining portion of the lease buy- out in the amount of $699,000 as other income.
In October 1995, the Partnership accepted a lease buy-out and termination agreement with a former tenant at the Partnership's property. The $300,000 termination payment, has been deferred and is being amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the remaining three years of the former tenant's lease.
Note E - Minimum Future Rental Revenues
Minimum future rental revenues from operating leases having non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1996 are as follows:
1997 $ 790 1998 772 1999 678 2000 652 2001 516 Thereafter 1,602 Total $5,010
Rental revenue from one tenant was 12 percent, 20 percent and 22 percent of total rental revenues in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Rental revenue from another tenant was 12 percent, 19 percent and 13 percent of total rental revenues in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.
Rental revenues included percentage and other contingent rentals of $33,000, $59,000 and $40,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $37,000, $32,000 and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

Note A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Minneapolis Business Parks Joint Venture (the "Partnership") is a general partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of California to acquire three business parks in Minnesota. The general partners are Century Pension Income Fund XXIII ("XXIII") and Century Pension Income Fund XXIV ("XXIV"), both are California limited partnerships which are affiliated through their general partners.
Use 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank may exceed the limit on insured deposits.
Leases:
The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under various lease terms. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with "Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13."
Some of the leases contain stated rental increases during their term. For leases with fixed rental increases, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease. This straight-line basis recognized $96,000 more in rental income than was collected in 1996. This amount will be collected in future years as cash collections under the terms of the leases exceed the straight-line basis of revenue recognition.
For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the terms of the leases.
Investment Properties:
Real estate is stated at cost. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real estate. In 1995, the Partnership adopted "SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Asset to be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. The adoption of the SFAS had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements.
Depreciation:
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 30 to 39 years for buildings and improvements.
Deferred Leasing Commission:
Leasing commissions are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related leases, which range from one to eleven years. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $221,000 and $205,000, respectively.
Net Income Allocation:
Net income is allocated based on the ratio of each partner's capital contribution to the joint venture.
Income Taxes:
Taxable income or loss of the Partnership is reported in the income tax returns of its partners. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership.
Reclassification:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 balances to conform to the 1996 presentation.
Note B - Related Party Transactions
During 1995, the Partnership paid an affiliate of the general partner a $33,000 fee relating to a successful real estate tax appeal on Alpha and Westpoint Business Center joint venture properties. These fees were allocated 68% to XXIII and 32% to XXIV, in accordance with the partnership agreement.
Note C - Minimum Future Rental Revenues
