                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Partners
Minneapolis Business Parks Joint Venture
Greenville, South Carolina



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Minneapolis Business Parks
Joint Venture (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998.  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 audits 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 Minneapolis Business Parks
Joint Venture as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1998


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization:  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"), 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:  Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
in banks, money market funds and certificates of deposit with original
maturities of less than 90 days.  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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases."

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.  Cash collections exceeded the straight-line
basis of revenue recognition by approximately $43,000 in 1998.  The straight-
line basis recognized approximately $23,000 more in rental income than was
collected in 1997.  For all other leases, minimum rents are recognized over the
terms of the leases.

Investment Properties:  Investment properties include three commercial
properties and are stated at cost.  Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost
of real estate.  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 those assets.

Depreciation:  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives ranging from five to thirty-nine years for buildings and
improvements and related personal property.

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, 1998 and 1997, deferred leasing commissions totaled approximately
$422,000 and $452,000 and accumulated amortization totaled approximately
$236,000 and $221,000, 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 1997 and 1996
balances to conform to the 1998 presentation.

NOTE B - MINIMUM FUTURE RENTAL REVENUES

Minimum future rental revenues from operating leases having non-cancelable lease
terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1998, are as follows (in thousands):

      1999        $1,891
      2000         1,286
      2001           712
      2002           294
      2003           167
   Thereafter          7
      Total       $4,357

Amortization of deferred leasing commissions totaled $80,000, $62,000 and
$84,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
