The financial information included herein has been prepared by management without audit by independent public accountants. See accompanying notes to financial statements. McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND IX, LTD. Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 30, 1997 NOTE 1. - ------- McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California to invest in real property. The general partner of the Partnership is McNeil Partners, L.P. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership, an affiliate of Robert A. McNeil ("McNeil"). The Partnership is governed by an amended and restated limited partnership agreement ("Amended Partnership Agreement") that was adopted September 20, 1991. The principal place of business for the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. However, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. NOTE 2. - ------- The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the notes thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available upon request by writing to McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd., c/o The Herman Group, 2121 San Jacinto St., 26th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201. NOTE 3. - ------- The Partnership pays property management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental receipts of the Partnership's properties to McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), an affiliate of the General Partner, for providing property management and leasing services for the Partnership's properties. The Partnership reimburses McREMI for its costs, including overhead, of administering the Partnership's affairs. Under terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is paying a Management Incentive Distribution ("MID") to the General Partner. The maximum MID is calculated as 1% of the tangible asset value of the Partnership. The maximum MID percentage decreases subsequent to 1999. Tangible asset value is determined by using the greater of (i) an amount calculated by applying a capitalization rate of 9% to the annualized net operating income of each property or (ii) a value of $10,000 per apartment unit to arrive at the property tangible asset value. The property tangible asset value is then added to the book value of all other assets excluding intangible items. MID will be paid to the extent of the lesser of the Partnership's excess cash flow, as defined, or net operating income, as defined ("the Entitlement Amount"), and may be paid (i) in cash, unless there is insufficient cash to pay the distribution in which event any unpaid portion not taken in Units will be deferred and is payable, without interest, from the first available cash and/or (ii) in Units. A maximum of 50% of the MID may be paid in Units. The number of Units issued in payment of the MID is based on the greater of $50 per Unit or the net tangible asset value, as defined, per Unit. Any amount of the MID that is paid to the General Partner in Units will be treated as if cash is distributed to the General Partner and is then contributed to the Partnership by the General Partner. The Contingent MID represents a return of equity to the General Partner for increasing cash flow, as defined, and accordingly is treated as a distribution. Compensation, reimbursements and distributions paid to or accrued for the benefit of the General Partner and its affiliates are as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------ 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Property management fees - affiliates........... $ 490,757 $ 487,835 Charged to general and administrative - affiliates: Partnership administration................... 226,628 301,133 --------- --------- $ 717,385 $ 788,968 ========= ========= Charged to General Partner's deficit: Management Incentive Distribution............ $ 546,307 $ 533,387 ========= ========= NOTE 4. - ------- On April 24, 1996, a fire destroyed or damaged 12 units at Sheraton Hills Apartments. The estimated cost to repair the fire damage is $562,560. Insurance proceeds will reimburse the Partnership for all costs incurred as a result of the fire. As a result of the fire damage and the expected insurance reimbursements, the Partnership recorded a $474,376 deferred gain on involuntary conversion on the Partnership's December 31, 1996 balance sheet. The deferred gain on involuntary conversion equals the insurance proceeds receivable less the adjusted basis of the property destroyed or damaged by the fire. The gain on involuntary conversion is deferred pending receipt of the insurance proceeds. As insurance proceeds are received, the Partnership will recognize the deferred gain. In July 1997, the Partnership received $494,547 of insurance reimbursements. Consequently, $417,024 of the deferred gain was recognized for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 in the accompanying financial statements. The remaining $57,352 of deferred gain will be recognized when the remainder of the insurance proceeds are received. Reconstruction of the destroyed or damaged units was completed during the third quarter of 1996. NOTE 5. - ------- On August 1, 1997, the Partnership placed Sheraton Hills Apartments on the market for sale. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Partnership will cease recording depreciation charges effective August 1, 1997. NOTE 6. - ------- On July 30, 1996, the Partnership sold Westridge Apartments to an unaffiliated purchaser for a cash sales price of $2,110,500. The Partnership agreed to finance a portion of the sales price by accepting from the purchaser a short-term, $1,550,000 mortgage note. The mortgage note accrued interest at 10.0% per annum and required monthly interest-only payments. On February 5, 1997, the purchaser repaid the $1,550,000 mortgage note to the Partnership together with all accrued interest thereon. Cash proceeds from the sale, as well as the loss on sale of Westridge Apartments are detailed below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------- ----------------------------------------------------------- AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- The Partnership was formed to acquire, operate and ultimately dispose of a portfolio of income-producing real properties. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership owned 13 apartment properties. All of the Partnership's properties are subject to mortgage notes. On July 30, 1996, the Partnership sold Westridge Apartments. On February 28, 1997, the Partnership paid a $2,250,000 distribution ($20.42 per limited partnership unit) to the limited partners. The distribution was funded by cash proceeds from the sale of Westridge Apartments, collection of the $1,550,000 mortgage note obtained by the Partnership in connection with the sale of Westridge Apartments, and from cash reserves of the Partnership. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The Partnership's net income for the first six months of 1997 was $353,190, an increase of $818,656 over the $465,466 loss recorded by the Partnership for the first six months of 1996. For the second quarter, net income improved $807,068 to $510,271. Most of the improvement in net income for both the quarter and year-to-date figures was the result of a $417,024 gain on involuntary conversion recognized during the second quarter of 1997. Revenue: Rental revenue increased $8,747 or .1% for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996. However, 1996 rental revenue includes rental revenue from Westridge Apartments. The Partnership sold Westridge Apartments on July 30, 1996. After excluding the rental revenues from Westridge Apartments from the 1996 figures, rental revenue at the remainder of the Partnership's properties increased $350,505 or 3.7% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. Rental revenues increased at eleven of the Partnership's thirteen properties. The properties reporting the largest increases in rental revenue, Cherry Hills Apartments, Meridian West Apartments, Sheraton Hills Apartments and Westgate Apartments, achieved increases ranging from 6% to 10% primarily by improving their occupancy rates. Two properties, Lantern Tree Apartments and Rolling Hills Apartments, reported unchanged rental revenue. Increased rental rates at these two properties was offset by decreased occupancy rates. The remainder of the Partnership's properties reported small increases in rental revenue due to increased rental rates that were partially offset by decreased occupancy rates. None of the partnership's properties reported decreases in rental revenue. Interest income increased $22,309 or 32.4% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. Interest income for 1997 includes $15,500 of interest on the $1,550,000 Westridge mortgage note obtained in connection with the sale of Westridge Apartments. The Westridge mortgage note was collected in full on February 5, 1997. No comparable interest was earned by the Partnership for the same period during 1996. Expenses: Partnership expenses decreased $377,985 or 7.2% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. However, the 1996 figures include expenses related to Westridge Apartments as well as a $220,157 loss on impairment of value related to Westridge Apartments. Excluding expenses related to Westridge Apartments, Partnership expenses increased $168,125 or 1.7% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. The Partnership incurred increased repair and maintenance and general and administrative expenses that were generally offset by decreased other property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses paid to affiliates Excluding the effects of the sale of Westridge, repair and maintenance expense increased $178,540 or 15% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. The increase is attributable to the replacement of carpeting and appliances, which met the Partnership's criteria for capitalization based on the magnitude of replacements in 1996, but were expensed in 1997. General and administrative expenses increased 14.3% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. Charges for investor services, beginning in 1997, are provided by a third party vendor instead of by affiliates of the General Partner. This change accounts for both the increase in general and administrative expenses and also for a portion of the 25% decrease in general and administrative expenses paid to affiliates. In addition to the change in investor service expenses, the Partnership incurred decreased charges for other services provided by affiliates of the General Partner. Other property operating expenses, excluding expenses related to Westridge Apartments, decreased 75,448 or 13.1% for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. Improved collection procedures reduced the level of bad debt expenses at the Partnership's properties. Also, marketing expenses and costs for office supplies were reduced. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership reported net income of $510,271 for the second quarter of 1997, an improvement over the $296,797 loss reported by the Partnership for the second quarter of 1996. Year to date, net income has increased to $353,190 from a loss of $465,466 for the first six months of 1996. Cash provided by operating activities increased 13.6% to $1,949,827. Decreased cash paid to suppliers, partially offset by increased property taxes paid and escrowed, accounted for most of the increase in cash provided by operating activities. Although the Partnership continues to invest significant resources into capital improvements at its properties, the scope of such investments decreased beginning in 1996. The Partnership has, on average, expended approximately $3 million annually for capital improvements over the last few years. The budgeted capital improvements for 1997 total only $1.7 million. For the first six months of 1997, the Partnership has expended $891,126 for capital improvements. The Partnership paid $630,662 of Management Incentive Distributions ("MID") to the General Partner for the first six months of 1997. The Partnership accrued MID of $547,307 for the first six months of 1997. The Partnership paid MID accrued but unpaid from 1996 as well as MID from 1997. Principal payments on the Partnership's mortgage notes account for the balance of the Partnership's financing activities. Such payments will increase modestly from year to year as the Partnership continues to pay down its mortgage notes. Short-term liquidity: The Partnership has budgeted $1.7 million for capital improvements in 1997. The General Partner believes these capital improvements are necessary to allow the Partnership to increase its rental revenues in the competitive markets in which the Partnership's properties operate. These expenditures also allow the Partnership to reduce future repair and maintenance expenses from amounts that would otherwise be incurred. At June 30, 1997, the Partnership held $2,287,850 of cash and cash equivalents, down $713,671 from the balance at the beginning of 1997. The General Partner anticipates that cash generated from operations for the remainder of 1997 will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's budgeted capital improvements and to repay the current portion of the Partnership's mortgage notes. The General Partner considers the Partnership's cash reserves adequate for anticipated operations for the remainder of 1997. On July 30, 1996, the Partnership sold its investment in Westridge Apartments. Proceeds from the sale amounted to approximately $492,000 of cash received in 1996, and $1,550,000 in proceeds from collection of the short-term mortgage note that was repaid on February 5, 1997. On February 28, 1997, the Partnership used the funds from the sale of Westridge, collection of the $1,550,000 mortgage note, and the Partnership's cash reserves to pay a $2,250,000 distribution ($20.42 per limited partnership unit) to the limited partners. See Income Allocations and Distributions below. Long-term liquidity: While the present outlook for the Partnership's liquidity is favorable, market conditions may change and property operations can deteriorate. In that event, the Partnership would require other sources of working capital. No such other sources have been identified, and the Partnership has no established lines of credit. Other possible actions to resolve working capital deficiencies include refinancing or renegotiating terms of existing loans, deferring major capital expenditures on Partnership properties except where improvements are expected to enhance the competitiveness or marketability of the properties, or arranging working capital support from affiliates. No affiliate support has been required in the past, and there is no assurance that support from affiliates would be provided in the future, since neither the General Partner nor any affiliates have any obligation in this regard. The Partnership has determined to begin an orderly liquidation of all the Partnership's assets. Although there can be no assurance as to the timing of any liquidation, it is anticipated that such liquidation would result in distributions to the limited partners of the cash proceeds from the sale of the Partnership's properties, subject to cash reserve requirements, as they are sold with the last property disposition before December 2001, followed by a dissolution of the Partnership. On August 1, 1997, the Partnership placed Sheraton Hills Apartments on the market for sale. Income Allocations and Distributions: Terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement specify that income before depreciation is allocated to the General Partner to the extent of MID paid in cash. Depreciation is allocated in the ratio of 95:5 to the limited partners and the General Partner, respectively. Therefore, for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner received allocations of net income of $524,155, and $781,074 respectively. The limited partners received allocations of net loss of $170,965 and $1,246,540 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. On February 28, 1997, the Partnership paid its first distribution to the limited partners since 1986. The $2,250,000 distribution was in large measure funded by proceeds from the 1996 sale of Westridge Apartments. For the foreseeable future, distributions to limited partners will likely be limited to proceeds from the sale of Partnership properties and cash reserves. The Partnership will distribute $500,000 to the limited partners in September 1997. The General Partner will continue to monitor the cash reserves and working capital needs of the Partnership to determine when cash flows will support additional distributions to the limited partners. Currently, one Partnership property, Sheraton Hills Apartments, is being marketed for sale. However, there can be no assurance regarding either the timing of any sale of Sheraton Hills Apartments or whether such a sale would generate funds in excess of the balance of the Sheraton Hills mortgage note that would be available for distribution to the limited partners. During the second quarter, the Partnership recorded MID of $546,307. MID payments totaling $630,662 were paid to the General Partner during the second quarter. MID payments to the General Partner are expected to continue in 1997. To the extent that cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund payments of MID along with other Partnership obligations, the Partnership will use its cash reserves to make such payments.

The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by limited partners of each of the fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal defendants as listed above (the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of their senior officers and/or directors (collectively, the "Defendants") breached their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective Amended Partnership Agreement. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants have rendered such Units highly illiquid and artificially depressed the prices that are available for Units on the resale market. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants engaged in a course of conduct to prevent the acquisition of Units by an affiliate of Carl Icahn by disseminating purportedly false, misleading and inadequate information. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants acted to advance their own personal interests at the expense of the Partnerships' public unit holders by failing to sell Partnership properties and failing to make distributions to unitholders. On December 16, 1996, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint. Plaintiffs are suing for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and an accounting, alleging, among other things, that the management fees paid to the McNeil affiliates over the last six years are excessive, that these fees should be reduced retroactively and that the respective Amended Partnership Agreements governing the Partnerships are invalid. Defendants filed a demurrer to the consolidated and amended complaint and a motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the consolidated and amended complaint in all respects. A hearing on Defendant's demurrer and motion to strike was held on May 5, 1997. The Court granted Defendants' demurrer, dismissing the consolidated and amended complaint with leave to amend. ITEM 6.
