e) CENTURY PROPERTIES FUND XVI NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Century Properties Fund XVI (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant") 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. The Partnership's general partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation (the "Managing General Partner" or "FCMC") and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"). The Managing General Partner and the managing general partner of FRI are subsidiaries of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. 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, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. 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 (i) payments to affiliates for services and (ii) reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership. Affiliates of the Managing General Partner are entitled to receive 5% of gross receipts from both of the Registrant's properties for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $43,000 and $41,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which is included in operating expenses. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner received reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $36,000 and $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. The Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of credit. Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents, the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity. Beginning in 2001, the Partnership began insuring its properties up to certain limits through coverage provided by AIMCO which is generally self-insured for a portion of losses and liabilities related to workers compensation, property casualty and vehicle liability. The Partnership insures its properties above the AIMCO limits through insurance policies obtained by AIMCO from insurers unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner. During the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $43,000 and $42,000, respectively, for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration. Note C - Legal Proceedings In March 1998, several putative unitholders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard February 1999. Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a Stipulation of Settlement, settling claims, subject to court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who owned units as of November 3, 1999. Preliminary approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court, at which time the Court set a final approval hearing for December 10, 1999. Prior to the December 10, 1999 hearing, the Court received various objections to the settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement. On December 14, 1999, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who negotiated the settlement. On June 27, 2000, the Court entered an order disqualifying them from the case and an appeal was taken from the order on October 5, 2000. On December 4, 2000, the Court appointed the law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP as new lead counsel for plaintiffs and the putative class. Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on January 19, 2001. On March 2, 2001, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a demurrer to the third amended complaint. On May 14, 2001, the Court heard the demurrer to the third amended complaint. On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an order sustaining defendants' demurrer on certain grounds. On July 20, 2001, Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's July 10, 2001 order granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer. On September 7, 2001, Plaintiffs filed a fourth amended class and derivative action complaint. On September 12, 2001, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. On October 5, 2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants filed a demurrer to the fourth amended complaint, which was heard on December 11, 2001. On February 2, 2002, the Court served its order granting in part the demurrer. The Court has dismissed without leave to amend certain of the plaintiffs' claims. On February 11, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a putative class comprised of all non-affiliated persons who own or have owned units in the partnerships. The Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants oppose the motion. On April 29, 2002, the Court heard argument on the motion and ordered further briefing after which time the matter will be taken under submission. The Court has set the matter for trial in January 2003. During the third quarter of 2001, a complaint (the "Heller action") was filed against the same defendants that are named in the Nuanes action, captioned Heller v. Insignia Financial Group. On or about August 6, 2001, plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint. The first amended complaint in the Heller action is brought as a purported derivative action, and asserts claims for among other things breach of fiduciary duty; unfair competition; conversion, unjust enrichment; and judicial dissolution. Plaintiffs in the Nuanes action filed a motion to consolidate the Heller action with the Nuanes action and stated that the Heller action was filed in order to preserve the derivative claims that were dismissed without leave to amend in the Nuanes action by the Court order dated July 10, 2001. On October 5, 2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants moved to strike the first amended complaint in its entirety for violating the Court's July 10, 2001 order granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer in the Nuanes action, or alternatively, to strike certain portions of the complaint based on the statute of limitations. Other defendants in the action demurred to the fourth amended complaint, and, alternatively, moved to strike the complaint. On December 11, 2001, the court heard argument on the motions and took the matters under submission. On February 4, 2002, the Court served notice of its order granting defendants' motion to strike the Heller complaint as a violation of its July 10, 2001 order in the Nuanes action. On March 27, 2002, the plaintiffs filed a notice appealing the order striking the complaint. The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any costs, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. The Partnership is unaware of any other pending or outstanding litigation that is not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The matters discussed in this Form 10-QSB contain certain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties (including changing market conditions, competitive and regulatory matters, etc.) detailed in the disclosures contained in this Form 10-QSB and the other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Registrant from time to time. The discussion of the Registrant's business and results of operations, including forward-looking statements pertaining to such matters, does not take into account the effects of any changes to the Registrant's business and results of operation. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those identified herein. The Partnership's investment properties consist of two apartment complexes. The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001: Average Occupancy Property 2002 2001 Ralston Place 96% 95% Tampa, Florida Woods of Inverness Apartments 93% 94% Houston, Texas Results of Operations The Registrant's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was approximately $20,000 compared to approximately $7,000 for the corresponding period in 2001. Net income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 as a result of an increase in total revenues partially offset by an increase in total expenses. Total revenues increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 due to an increase in other income. Other income increased primarily due to increased utility reimbursements at both of the Partnership's properties and late charge fees at Woods of Inverness Apartments. Total expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2002 primarily due to an increase in operating and depreciation expenses partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses increased due to increases in insurance expense and maintenance expenses. Insurance expenses increased primarily due to an increase in insurance premiums at both of the investment properties. Maintenance expenses increased due to an increase in contract work at Woods of Inverness Apartments. Depreciation expense increased due to an increase in depreciable assets put into service in the last twelve months which are now being depreciated. General and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2002 due to a decrease in the cost of services included in the management reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement. In addition to the management reimbursements, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement are also included in general and administrative expenses. 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources At March 31, 2002, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $459,000 compared to approximately $188,000 at March 31, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $187,000 since December 31, 2001 due to approximately $288,000 of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by approximately $76,000 and $25,000 of cash used in investing and financing activities, respectively. Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements partially offset by net withdrawals from restricted escrow accounts maintained by the mortgage lender. Cash used in financing activities consisted of principal payments made on the mortgages encumbering the Registrant's properties. The Registrant invests its working capital reserves in interest-bearing accounts. An affiliate of the Managing General Partner has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. The Partnership has no outstanding amounts due under this line of credit. Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate the need to borrow in the near future. Other than cash and cash equivalents, the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of liquidity. 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 Registrant and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. Capital improvements planned for the Partnership's properties are detailed below. Ralston Place: For 2002, the Partnership has budgeted $110,000 for capital improvements at Ralston Place consisting primarily of appliance, plumbing, air conditioning and flooring replacements, structural improvements and laundry room and maintenance building enhancements. As of March 31, 2002, the property has spent approximately $43,000 in capital expenditures consisting primarily of plumbing fixture replacements, structural improvements and appliance and floor covering replacements. These improvements were funded primarily from replacement reserves and operations. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. Woods of Inverness: For 2002, the Partnership has budgeted approximately $96,000 for capital improvements at Woods of Inverness consisting primarily of appliance and flooring replacements and structural improvements. As of March 31, 2002 the property has spent approximately $58,000 in capital expenditures consisting primarily of appliance and floor covering replacements and structural improvements. These improvements were funded primarily from replacement reserves and operations. Additional improvements may be considered and will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property. The additional capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations or from Partnership reserves. To the extent that such budgeted capital improvements are completed, the Registrant's distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term. The Registrant's current assets are thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs (exclusive of capital improvements) of the Registrant. The mortgage indebtedness of approximately $7,057,000 is amortized over 360 months with a balloon payment of approximately $6,618,000 due January 1, 2006. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the properties prior to such maturity date. If the properties cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Registrant will risk losing such properties through foreclosure. The Partnership distributed the following amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands, except per unit data):
Three Months Per Limited Three Months Per Limited Ended Partnership Ended Partnership March 31, 2002 Unit March 31, 2001 Unit Operations $ -- $ -- $ 73 $ 0.54
Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations, the availability of cash reserves and the timing of debt maturities, refinancings and/or property sales. The Partnership's cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. There can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations after required capital expenditures, to permit distributions to its partners during the remainder of 2002 or subsequent periods. In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 76,921.69 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing approximately 59.17% of the outstanding units at March 31, 2002. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO, its affiliates or affiliates of the Managing General Partner. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional limited partnership interests in the Partnership for cash or in exchange for units in the operating partnership of AIMCO either through private purchases or tender offers. Under the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, which would include voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of approximately 59.17% of the outstanding units, AIMCO is in a position to influence all voting decisions with respect to the Registrant. When voting on matters, AIMCO would in all likelihood vote the Units it acquired in a manner favorable to the interest of the Managing General Partner because of its affiliation with the Managing General Partner. However, with respect to 47,326.68 units, owned by Insignia Properties LP, an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, such affiliate is required to vote such Units: (i) against any increase in compensation payable to the Managing General Partner or to affiliates; and (ii) on all other matters submitted by it or its affiliates, in proportion to the votes cast by non-tendering unitholders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on AIMCO and its affiliates' ability to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In March 1998, several putative unitholders of limited partnership units of the Partnership commenced an action entitled Rosalie Nuanes, et al. v. Insignia Financial Group, Inc., et al. (the "Nuanes action") in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Mateo. The plaintiffs named as defendants, among others, the Partnership, its Managing General Partner and several of their affiliated partnerships and corporate entities. The action purports to assert claims on behalf of a class of limited partners and derivatively on behalf of a number of limited partnerships (including the Partnership) which are named as nominal defendants, challenging, among other things, the acquisition of interests in certain Managing General Partner entities by Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") and entities which were, at one time, affiliates of Insignia; past tender offers by the Insignia affiliates to acquire limited partnership units; management of the partnerships by the Insignia affiliates; and the series of transactions which closed on October 1, 1998 and February 26, 1999 whereby Insignia and Insignia Properties Trust, respectively, were merged into AIMCO. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages and equitable relief, including judicial dissolution of the Partnership. On June 25, 1998, the Managing General Partner filed a motion seeking dismissal of the action. In lieu of responding to the motion, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The Managing General Partner filed demurrers to the amended complaint which were heard February 1999. Pending the ruling on such demurrers, settlement negotiations commenced. On November 2, 1999, the parties executed and filed a Stipulation of Settlement, settling claims, subject to court approval, on behalf of the Partnership and all limited partners who owned units as of November 3, 1999. Preliminary approval of the settlement was obtained on November 3, 1999 from the Court, at which time the Court set a final approval hearing for December 10, 1999. Prior to the December 10, 1999 hearing, the Court received various objections to the settlement, including a challenge to the Court's preliminary approval based upon the alleged lack of authority of prior lead counsel to enter the settlement. On December 14, 1999, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates terminated the proposed settlement. In February 2000, counsel for some of the named plaintiffs filed a motion to disqualify plaintiff's lead and liaison counsel who negotiated the settlement. On June 27, 2000, the Court entered an order disqualifying them from the case and an appeal was taken from the order on October 5, 2000. On December 4, 2000, the Court appointed the law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP as new lead counsel for plaintiffs and the putative class. Plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint on January 19, 2001. On March 2, 2001, the Managing General Partner and its affiliates filed a demurrer to the third amended complaint. On May 14, 2001, the Court heard the demurrer to the third amended complaint. On July 10, 2001, the Court issued an order sustaining defendants' demurrer on certain grounds. On July 20, 2001, Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's July 10, 2001 order granting in part and denying in part defendants' demurrer. On September 7, 2001, Plaintiffs filed a fourth amended class and derivative action complaint. On September 12, 2001, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration. On October 5, 2001, the Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants filed a demurrer to the fourth amended complaint, which was heard on December 11, 2001. On February 2, 2002, the Court served its order granting in part the demurrer. The Court has dismissed without leave to amend certain of the plaintiffs' claims. On February 11, 2002, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a putative class comprised of all non-affiliated persons who own or have owned units in the partnerships. The Managing General Partner and affiliated defendants oppose the motion. On April 29, 2002, the Court heard argument on the motion and ordered further briefing after which time the matter will be taken under submission.

The Managing General Partner does not anticipate that any costs, whether legal or settlement costs, associated with these cases will be material to the Partnership's overall operations. ITEM 6.
