Note A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Century Properties Fund XV (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-Q and Article 8-03 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. The Partnership's general partners are Fox Capital Management Corporation ("FCMC" or the "Managing General Partner"), a California corporation, and Fox Realty Investors ("FRI"), a California general partnership. In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Managing General Partner, as well as the managing general partner of FRI, are affiliates of Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded real estate investment trust.

The Partnership’s management evaluated subsequent events through the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed.

The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflects the operations of Preston Creek Apartments as income from discontinued operations due to its sale on August 5, 2009. The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Note B – Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and depends 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.

Affiliates of the Managing General Partner receive 5% of gross receipts from the Partnership's properties as compensation for providing property management services. The Partnership paid to such affiliates approximately $80,000 and $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in operating expenses.

An affiliate of the Managing General Partner charged the Partnership for reimbursement of accountable administrative expenses amounting to approximately $22,000 and $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses. At March 31, 2011, approximately $22,000 of reimbursements for accountable administrative expenses was owed by the Partnership and was included in due to affiliates. No reimbursements were owed at December 31, 2010.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, for managing the affairs of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership management fee equal to 10% of the Partnership's adjusted cash from operations as distributed. No partnership management fees were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as there were no operating distributions during the respective periods.

AIMCO Properties, L.P., has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., agreed to advance funds in excess of the credit line. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $143,000 to fund real estate taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $1,100,000 to fund property taxes, operating expenses and capital improvements at Lakeside Place Apartments.  Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% per annum (5.25% at March 31, 2011). Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $100,000 and $89,000, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., including accrued interest, was approximately $7,853,000 and $7,610,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates.  The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced $1,150,000 to fund operations, capital improvements and casualty repairs at Lakeside Apartments.

The Partnership insures 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, general liability 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, 2011, the Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $326,000 for hazard insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration.  Additional charges will be incurred by the Partnership during 2011 as other insurance policies renew later in the year.  The Partnership was charged by AIMCO and its affiliates approximately $421,000 for insurance coverage and fees associated with policy claims administration during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note C – Casualty Events

In January 2010, Lakeside Place Apartments suffered fire damage to twenty four rental units. The cost to reconstruct the damaged units was approximately $2,044,000 including approximately $309,000 of clean up and other non-capitalizable costs. The Partnership expects to receive approximately $87,000 of insurance proceeds for lost rents, which is included in receivables and deposits at March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership incurred approximately $70,000 and $133,000, respectively, of clean up and other non-capitalized costs, which were included in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has received total insurance proceeds of approximately $1,533,000, which included approximately $133,000 related to clean up costs. Insurance proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 were received during the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included approximately $133,000 for clean up costs. The $133,000 received for clean up costs was reflected as a reduction to operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $838,000 as a result of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $29,000. The insurance proceeds received were being held in escrow with the mortgage lender and were being released to the Partnership as repairs were completed. The balance in the lender held escrow was approximately $225,000 at December 31, 2010. These funds were released to the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Partnership anticipates receiving additional insurance proceeds and recognizing additional gain related to this casualty during 2011.

In June 2009, Preston Creek Apartments suffered storm damage to the roofing on its buildings.  The roofs were repaired in July 2009 at a cost of approximately $110,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership received approximately $110,000 of insurance proceeds related to this event, which is included in income from discontinued operations.  Preston Creek Apartments was sold to a third party on August 5, 2009.

In April 2009, Lakeside Place Apartments suffered storm damage to twelve of its rental units of approximately $26,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership received approximately $19,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain during the three months ended March 31, 2010 of approximately $19,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of less than $1,000.

Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial instruments (except for mortgage notes payable) approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable by discounting future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with that currently believed to be available to the Partnership for similar term, mortgage notes payable. At March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable at the Partnership's incremental borrowing rate was approximately $30,197,000.

Note E – Contingencies

The Partnership is unaware of any pending or outstanding litigation matters involving it or its investment property that are not of a routine nature arising in the ordinary course of business.

Environmental

Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials  present on a property, including lead-based paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, and other miscellaneous materials. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, and potential fines or penalties imposed by such agencies in connection therewith, the improper management of these materials on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of these materials through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of these materials is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of its property, the Partnership could potentially be responsible for environmental liabilities or costs associated with its property.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Partnership’s ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rates and property operating results and the effect of redevelopments. Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control, including, without limitation: financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing and the risk that the Partnership’s cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local economic conditions, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; energy costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership’s property and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for residents in such markets; insurance risk, including the cost of insurance; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by the Partnership. Readers should carefully review the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the other documents the Partnership files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Partnership's investment property consists of one residential apartment complex.  The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the property for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

The Partnership’s financial results depend upon a number of factors including the ability to attract and maintain tenants at the investment property, interest rates on mortgage loans, costs incurred to operate the investment property, general economic conditions and weather. As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property 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, the Managing General Partner may use rental concessions and rental rate reductions to offset softening market conditions; accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan. Further, a number of factors that are outside the control of the Partnership such as the local economic climate and weather, can adversely or positively affect the Partnership’s financial results.

Results of Operations

The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $500,000, compared with net income of approximately $311,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflects the operations of Preston Creek Apartments as income from discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the property in August 2009. The following table presents summarized results of operations related to the Partnership’s discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

In June 2009, Preston Creek Apartments suffered storm damage to the roofing on its buildings.  The roofs were repaired in July 2009 at a cost of approximately $110,000.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership received approximately $110,000 of insurance proceeds related to this event, which is included in income from discontinued operations.  Preston Creek Apartments was sold to a third party on August 5, 2009.

The Partnership recognized a loss from continuing operations of approximately $500,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with income from continuing operations of approximately $201,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease in income from continuing operations was due to a decrease in casualty gains, partially offset by a decrease in total expenses and an increase in total revenues.

In January 2010, Lakeside Place Apartments suffered fire damage to twenty four rental units. The cost to reconstruct the damaged units was approximately $2,044,000 including approximately $309,000 of clean up and other non-capitalizable costs. The Partnership expects to receive approximately $87,000 of insurance proceeds for lost rents, which is included in receivables and deposits at March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership incurred approximately $70,000 and $133,000, respectively, of clean up and other non-capitalized costs, which were included in operating expenses. As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has received total insurance proceeds of approximately $1,533,000, which included approximately $133,000 related to clean up costs. Insurance proceeds of approximately $1,000,000 were received during the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included approximately $133,000 for clean up costs. The $133,000 received for clean up costs was reflected as a reduction to operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership recognized a casualty gain of approximately $838,000 as a result of the write-off of undepreciated damaged assets of approximately $29,000. The insurance proceeds received were being held in escrow with the mortgage lender and were being released to the Partnership as repairs were completed. The balance in the lender held escrow was approximately $225,000 at December 31, 2010. These funds were released to the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Partnership anticipates receiving additional insurance proceeds and recognizing additional gain related to this casualty during 2011.

In April 2009, Lakeside Place Apartments suffered storm damage to twelve of its rental units of approximately $26,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership received approximately $19,000 in insurance proceeds and recognized a casualty gain during the three months ended March 31, 2010 of approximately $19,000 as a result of the write off of undepreciated damaged assets of less than $1,000.

Total expenses decreased due to decreases in depreciation and property tax expenses, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. General and administrative expense and interest expense remained relatively constant for the comparable periods.  Depreciation expense decreased primarily due to assets placed into service at Lakeside Place Apartments in previous years becoming fully depreciated during 2010.  Property tax expense decreased due to a decrease in the assessed value of Lakeside Place Apartments. Operating expenses increased due to an increase in insurance expense as a result of an increase in hazard insurance premiums and repair costs incurred in 2011 related to the January 2010 casualty discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and related benefits at Lakeside Apartments.

Included in general and administrative expenses are reimbursements to the Managing General Partner as allowed under the Partnership Agreement, costs associated with the quarterly and annual communications with investors and regulatory agencies and the annual audit required by the Partnership Agreement.

Total revenues increased due to increases in rental income and other income.  Rental income increased due to an increase in occupancy and the average rental rate at Lakeside Place Apartments.  Other income increased due to increases in resident utility reimbursements, cleaning and damage fees and parking income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2011, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $174,000 compared with approximately $488,000 at December 31, 2010.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $314,000 due to approximately $210,000 and $172,000 of cash used in operating and investing activities, respectively, partially offset by approximately $68,000 of cash provided by financing activities.  Cash used in investing activities consisted of property improvements and replacements, partially offset by insurance proceeds and net withdrawals from restricted escrows.  Cash provided by financing activities consisted of advances received from an affiliate of the Managing General Partner, partially offset by principal payments made on the mortgage notes encumbering the Partnership’s investment property.

AIMCO Properties, L.P., has made available to the Partnership a credit line of up to $150,000 per property owned by the Partnership. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P., agreed to advance funds in excess of the credit line. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $143,000 to fund real estate taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced the Partnership approximately $1,100,000 to fund property taxes, operating expenses and capital improvements at Lakeside Place Apartments. Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 2% per annum (5.25% at March 31, 2011). Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $100,000 and $89,000, respectively. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., including accrued interest, was approximately $7,853,000 and $7,610,000, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates.  The Partnership may receive additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances.  For more information on AIMCO Properties, L.P., including copies of its audited balance sheet, please see its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, AIMCO Properties, L.P. advanced $1,150,000 to fund operations, capital improvements and casualty repairs at Lakeside Apartments.

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 and to comply with Federal, state, and local legal and regulatory requirements. The Managing General Partner monitors developments in the area of legal and regulatory compliance.  Capital improvements planned for the Partnership’s property are detailed below.

The Partnership completed approximately $537,000 of capital improvements at Lakeside Place Apartments during the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisting primarily of kitchen and bath resurfacing, floor covering replacement and construction related to the 2010 casualty discussed above. These improvements were funded from operations and insurance proceeds. The Partnership regularly evaluates the capital improvement needs of the property. While the Partnership has no material commitments for property improvements and replacements, certain routine capital expenditures are anticipated during the remainder of 2011. Such capital expenditures will depend on the physical condition of the property as well as insurance proceeds, replacement reserves and anticipated cash flow generated by the property.

Capital improvements will be incurred only if cash is available from operations, insurance proceeds, Partnership reserves, or advances from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. To the extent that capital improvements are completed the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.

The Partnership anticipates that exclusive of capital improvements and repayment of amounts due to affiliates, operating cash flows will be generally sufficient for the Partnership to meet its current obligations. If cash flows are insufficient for the Partnership to meet its obligations, the Partnership may request additional advances of funds from AIMCO Properties, L.P., although AIMCO Properties, L.P. is not obligated to provide such advances. The mortgage indebtedness encumbering Lakeside Place Apartments of approximately $26,595,000 matures in March 2020 at which time balloon payments of approximately $22,790,000 are required. The Managing General Partner will attempt to refinance such indebtedness and/or sell the property prior to such maturity date. If the property cannot be refinanced or sold for a sufficient amount, the Partnership will risk losing such property through foreclosure.

The Partnership made no distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations and the timing of debt maturity, property sale and/or refinancings. The Partnership’s cash available for distribution is reviewed on a monthly basis. In light of the amounts accrued and payable to affiliates of the Managing General Partner at March 31, 2011, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will generate sufficient funds from operations, after planned capital improvement expenditures, to permit distributions to its partners in 2011 or subsequent periods.

Other

In addition to its indirect ownership of the general partner interest in the Partnership, AIMCO and its affiliates owned 65,841.34 limited partnership units (the "Units") in the Partnership representing 73.18% of the outstanding Units at March 31, 2011. A number of these Units were acquired pursuant to tender offers made by AIMCO or its affiliates. It is possible that AIMCO or its affiliates will acquire additional Units in exchange for cash or a combination of cash and units in AIMCO Properties, L.P., the operating partnership of AIMCO, either through private purchases or tender offers. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, unitholders holding a majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, that include, but are not limited to, voting on certain amendments to the Partnership Agreement and voting to remove the Managing General Partner. As a result of its ownership of 73.18% of the outstanding Units, AIMCO and its affiliates are in a position to influence all such voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. However, AIMCO IPLP, L.P., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner and AIMCO, which owns 35,473.17 (39.43%) of the Units, is required to vote its Units: (i) against any proposal to increase the fees and other compensation payable by the Partnership to the Managing General Partner and any of its affiliates; and (ii) with respect to any proposal made by the Managing General Partner or any of its affiliates, in proportion to votes cast by other unitholders. Except for the foregoing, no other limitations are imposed on AIMCO or its affiliates' right to vote each Unit acquired. Although the Managing General Partner owes fiduciary duties to the limited partners of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner also owes fiduciary duties to AIMCO as its sole stockholder. As a result, the duties of the Managing General Partner, as managing general partner, to the Partnership and its limited partners may come into conflict with the duties of the Managing General Partner to AIMCO as its sole stockholder.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions. The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Investment property is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable, the Partnership will make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to the Partnership’s estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property.  If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

Real property investment is subject to varying degrees of risk.  Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of the Partnership’s investment property. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic climate; competition from other apartment communities and other housing options; local conditions, such as loss of jobs or an increase in the supply of apartments that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates; changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance; increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents; and changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multi-family housing; and changes in interest rates and the availability of financing.  Any adverse changes in these and other factors could cause an impairment of the Partnership’s asset.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership generally leases apartment units for twelve-month terms or less.  The Partnership will offer rental concessions during particularly slow months or in response to heavy competition from other similar complexes in the area.  Rental income attributable to leases, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  The Partnership evaluates all accounts receivable from residents and establishes an allowance, after the application of security deposits, for accounts greater than 30 days past due on current tenants and all receivables due from former tenants.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)   Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Managing General Partner, who are the equivalent of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)            Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There has been no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
