The NAV is greater than the Purchase Price. When determining the value of Units and deciding whether to tender Units pursuant to the Offer, a Limited Partner should consider both the NAV and the Cash Position (which, due to its method of valuation of the Units, the Purchaser did not include in such NAV).

Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See "Introduction" and Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase. INTRODUCTION The first paragraph of the Introduction to the Offers to Purchase is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows: High River Limited Partnership hereby offers to purchase Units in the amount set forth above and at the Purchase Price set forth above, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, made by the Partnership from the date of the commencement of the Offer, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time, until the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer. Limited Partners who tender their Units in response to the Offer will not be obligated to pay any commissions or partnership transfer fees. The Purchaser has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as Information Agent (the "Information Agent") and IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company to act as Depositary (the "Depositary") in connection with the Offer. The Purchaser will pay all charges and expenses in connection with the services of the Information Agent and the Depositary. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Units being tendered. Subject to the Minimum Units Requirements, a Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Offer to Purchase or any related document, under no circumstances will the Purchaser be required to accept any Units the transfer of which to the Purchaser would be prohibited by the Partnership Agreement or any regulation or procedure adopted thereunder. Beginning on August 22, 1995, the Purchaser and the Partnership's general partner had been engaged in discussions concerning the possible acquisition by the Purchaser of substantially all of the interest in the Partnership's general partner and the manager of the Partnership's properties, McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI") (which is an affiliate of the Partnership's general partner), the Offer and the settlement of litigation between the Purchaser and the Partnership's general partner and the Partnership, among others. Such discussions have terminated. See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. The third bullet of the Introduction to the Offers to Purchase for McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972 and McNeil Real Estate Fund V, Ltd., and the fourth bullet of the Introduction to each of the other Offers to Purchase, contained in the Supplements to the Offers to Purchase dated 21, 1995, are hereby amended to provide in their entirety as follows: o Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes, it may, depending on the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence control of the Partnership and to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership and may seek to remove the Partnership's general partner. Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase. The fourth bullet of the Introduction to the Offers to Purchase for McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972 and McNeil Real Estate Fund V, Ltd., and the fifth bullet of the Introduction to each of the other Offers to Purchase, contained in the Supplements to the Offers to Purchase dated 21, 1995, are hereby amended in their entirety to provide as follows: o Based primarily on financial and other information relating to the Partnership that is publicly available in its Form 10-K filed with the Commission and the Due Diligence Information (as defined in the portion of Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase entitled "Valuation Analysis"), the Purchaser, solely for consideration with other information in connection with preparing and evaluating the bid set forth in the Offer, calculated the NAV (exclusive of the Cash Position), as set forth in the table contained in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. When 3 determining the value of Units and deciding whether to tender Units pursuant to the Offer, a Limited Partner should consider both the NAV and the Cash Position (which, due to its method of valuation of the Units, the Purchaser did not include in such NAV). The Purchaser has not conducted any appraisal of the Partnership's properties and has no independent basis whatsoever for determining the accuracy or completeness of the Partnership's publicly filed financial information and the Due Diligence Information or for determining to what extent, if any, the NAV represents the true net asset value of each Unit. See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase. The paragraph in the Introduction to the Offers to Purchase, entitled "Reasons for the Offer" is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows: Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes and with a view to making a profit, it may, depending on the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence control of the Partnership and to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership and may seek to remove the Partnership's general partner. Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase. The last paragraph in the Introduction to the Offers to Purchase is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows: All of the Information with respect to the Partnership contained in the Offer to Purchase has been derived from documents and reports publicly filed by the Partnership or the Due Diligence Information (as defined in the portion of Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase entitled "Valuation Analysis"). Although the Purchaser has no information that any statements or information contained in the Offer to Purchase based upon such documents, reports and Due Diligence Information are untrue, the Purchaser cannot take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Partnership contained in such documents, reports and Due Diligence Information or for any failure by the Partnership to disclose events which may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of any such information but which are unknown to the Purchaser. THE OFFER Section 8. Future Plans of the Purchaser. Section 8 of the Offers to Purchase is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows: Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes and with a view to making a profit, it may, depending on the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence control of the Partnership and to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership. The Purchaser is currently assessing the feasibility of removing the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI. Removal of the Partnership's general partner requires the vote of Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units. Removal of the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI may, under certain circumstances, require the Partnership to make certain payments to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates (including McREMI) (collectively, the "Termination Payments") and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See "Introduction" of the Offer to Purchase. If the Purchaser concludes that it is feasible to remove the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI or otherwise take action which would result in the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI ceasing to act in their current capacities (such removal or cessation, a "Termination") without the imposition of Termination Payments, it will seek to do so. Absent the feasibility of the foregoing, the Purchaser will consider whether or not to seek Termination of the Partnership's general partner and/or McREMI. In connection with any such determination, the Purchaser will consider the overall costs associated with such Termination. In connection with any attempted Termination of the Partnership's general partner or McREMI, the Purchaser will seek its appointment or the appointment of another party as the successor general partner of the Partnership or the property manager of the Partnership, as the case may be. The Purchaser has not previously acted as the general partner or property manager of a limited partnership which is engaged in the business of owning real estate such as the Partnership and has not, at this time, sought to negotiate any arrangements with other parties to act in such capacities. Following the completion 4 of the Offer, the Purchaser and/or persons related to or affiliated with it may acquire additional Units or may sell Units. Any acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more future tender or exchange offers or by any other means deemed advisable. Any acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, and may be for cash or other consideration. The Purchaser also may consider selling some or all of the Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer to persons not yet determined, which may include the Partnership's general partner and/or an affiliate of the Partnership's general partner. Section 10. Voting by the Purchaser. The first paragraph of Section 10 of the Offers to Purchase is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows (Limited Partners are advised to consult the table immediately following this paragraph to determine the figures applicable to their respective Partnerships): Depending on the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser may be in a position to influence control of the Partnership and to influence voting decisions with respect to the Partnership and the Purchaser may seek to remove the Partnership's general partner. Under the Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units are entitled to remove the Partnership's general partner at any time for cause and, beginning on the date set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph, without cause. Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee and other payments to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations and/or the Partnership's incurrence of expenses pursuant to provisions of such debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on the Partnership. See Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase. In addition, Limited Partners holding a majority of the Units, with the concurrence of the Partnership's general partner, are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of matters, including dissolution of the Partnership and most types of amendments to the Partnership Agreement, but the Purchaser has no present intention of doing so.

Background of the Offer. The portion of Section 13 of each of the Offers to Purchase entitled "Prior Contacts with the Partnership" is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of such portion: On the evening of August 22, 1995 and the morning of August 23, 1995, Mr. Icahn and a representative met with Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. McNeil (the Chairman and Co-Chairman of the corporate general partner of the Partnership's general partner) and their representatives regarding possible settlement of the pending litigation respecting the Offers. Those discussions involved, among other things, the possibility of a transaction pursuant to which Mr. Icahn or his affiliates would acquire substantially all of the interest in the Partnership's general partner and would acquire McREMI. In connection with those settlement discussions, the Partnership's general partner and the Purchaser entered into an agreement on August 24, 1995 (the "August 24th Agreement"), pursuant to which they agreed that until September 7, 1995 (which date was ultimately extended to September 18, 1995 pursuant to various extension agreements dated September 7, 1995, September 12, 1995, and September 15, 1995 (the "Extension Agreements" and, together with the August 24th Agreement, the "Standstill Agreement")): (i) the Partnership's general partner and its affiliates would not seek to acquire any securities of the Partnerships or their affiliates or otherwise propose or engage in discussions regarding the transactions involving the Partnerships or their 5 affiliates; (ii) they would each cause their respective information agents to respond to limited partner inquiries only by indicating that settlement discussions were ongoing; (iii) the Purchaser and its affiliates would be permitted to conduct reasonable due diligence (the "Due Diligence") with respect to the Partnership's general partner and the Partnerships and their affiliates (subject to certain confidentiality obligations); and (iv) except as required by law, they would not mail any information to the limited partners of the Partnerships and would hold in abeyance all of their litigation proceedings and the demands made by the Purchaser for lists of limited partners and information and/or transfers of units of the Partnerships. The Standstill Agreement (as modified by a letter agreement dated September 19, 1995) provides that the Purchaser, Carl C. Icahn and their affiliates would not, prior to August 24, 1996, attempt to acquire any securities of partnerships (other than the Partnerships) controlled by Robert A. McNeil, or propose to enter into business combinations with them or make proxy solicitations with respect thereto (other than purchase at auction or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, of a block of approximately 2,995,000 units of limited partnership interest in McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVI, L.P. and blocks of approximately 399,500 and 100,000 units of limited partnership interest in McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P.). Pursuant to the August 24th Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to extend the Expiration Dates of the Offers until September 12, 1995 with the Partnership's general partner having the ability to require the Purchaser to extend the Expiration Dates of the Offers to September 20, 1995 (such Expiration Dates ultimately were extended pursuant to various Extension Agreements through October 2, 1995). On August 25, 1995, representatives of Mr. Icahn traveled to Dallas, Texas to engage in "due diligence" activities at the headquarters of McREMI. As part of its diligence activities at McREMI, representatives of Mr. Icahn reviewed and gathered non-public information regarding McREMI, the Partnership's general partner, the Partnerships and their affiliates. Those activities at the McREMI headquarters, which continued through August 30, 1995, involved meeting with senior management and others. Thereafter, the process of gathering information and conducting diligence continued by telephone and through the exchange of documents, through September 19, 1995. During the period from August 24, 1995 through September 19, 1995, Carl C. Icahn and representatives of Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (including the Purchaser) and Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. McNeil, the Partnership's general partner and their representatives engaged in ongoing negotiations involving various different members of their respective negotiating teams. Those meetings were conducted by telephone and at the offices of counsel to the respective parties and included the exchange of numerous drafts of various agreements. The negotiations involved, among other things, discussion of: (i) a transaction in which an affiliate of Mr. Icahn would acquire substantially all of the interests in the Partnership's general partner and would acquire McREMI; (ii) potential modifications to the outstanding Offers; (iii) cooperation to be provided by the Partnership's general partner to facilitate the Offers; and (iv) agreements with respect to settlement of outstanding litigation, both among the parties and against the Partnership's general partner, McREMI and Mr. and Mrs. McNeil, among others, instituted following the commencement of the Offers. The negotiations and due diligence review involved extensive discussion of and negotiation concerning many facets of the financial condition, tax aspects, operations, and business of McREMI, the Partnership's general partner, the Partnerships and their affiliates. On September 19, 1995, in a meeting conducted at the offices of counsel to Mr. and Mrs. McNeil, negotiations reached an impasse and were discontinued. Additional conversations after that date failed to result in a resumption of negotiations. The portion of Section 13 of each of the Offers to Purchase entitled "Valuation Analysis" is hereby amended to provide in its entirety as follows (Limited Partners are advised to consult the table contained in this Section to determine the figures applicable to their respective Partnerships): Valuation Analysis. While conducting the Due Diligence, the Purchaser reviewed certain non-public documents and information prepared by or on behalf of the Partnership to which it did not previously have access. Among such documents and information were the Cash Position and net operating income figures of the Partnership for a portion of its current fiscal year (which the Purchaser reduced to reflect normal capital expenditures) (the "Due Diligence Information"). The Purchaser utilized such net operating income figures (as so reduced) in the preparation of an annualized net operating income figure for the Partnership (the "NOI"). Due primarily to the NOI and the Cap Rate (as defined below), the Purchaser has revised its estimate of the net asset value per Unit of the Partnership (the "NAV") (exclusive of the Cash Position). In order to calculate the NAV, the Purchaser divided: (i) the difference between (x) the quotient of the NOI and a capitalization rate deemed appropriate by the Purchaser (the "Cap Rate") and (y) the sum of "Mortgage Notes Payable" (with estimated discounts, if applicable, added back) and "Payable to Affiliates--General Partner" as such items are 6 set forth in the Partnership's most recent Form 10-Q filed with the Commission; by (ii) the number of outstanding Units. The NOI, the NAV, the Cap Rate and the Cash Position for the Partnership are set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph. The Purchaser's prior estimate of the net asset value per Unit (which was calculated prior to the Purchaser's calculation of the NOI) (the "Prior NAV") as well as the capitalization rate utilized by the Purchaser to calculate such estimate (the "Prior Cap Rate") and the amount of cash and cash equivalents per Unit for the Partnership as of March 31, 1995 (which is contained in the Offer to Purchase prior to this Supplement) (the "Prior Cash Position") are also set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph. Limited Partners should note that the calculations resulting in the NAV are based on rough estimates and that the values resulting therefrom may not be indicative of actual values to any extent. It should also be noted that investors may disagree as to the appropriate capitalization rate to be applied, and Limited Partners are advised that the utilization of a lower capitalization rate results in a higher estimate of aggregate value. When determining the value of Units and deciding whether to tender Units pursuant to the Offer, a Limited Partner should consider both the NAV and the Cash Position (which, due to its method of valuation of the Units, the Purchaser did not include in such NAV).

("Fund XXIV"), the Purchaser utilized net operating income figures for the first seven months of such Partnerships' current fiscal years. For the purposes of determining the NOI for Pacific and Fund XXIV, the Purchaser utilized net operating income figures for the first three months and six months, respectively, of such Partnership's current fiscal years. The Purchaser utilized such shorter time periods because, in its judgment, such periods were more reflective of the value of Pacific and Fund XXIV. Utilization of the seven month time period for Pacific and Fund XXIV would yield lower NOIs and NAVs than those reflected in the above table. For the purpose of determining both of Pacific's NOI and Prior NOI, the Purchaser utilized net operating income figures for the first three months of Pacific's current fiscal year. Accordingly, such NOI and Prior NOI are the same. Upon reconsideration of the age of these Partnerships' properties, the Purchaser determined to raise the Cap Rate.

This letter is being sent to you by the Purchaser to inform you of certain recent events relating to the Offers and to clarify the procedures for tendering your Units to the Purchaser. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Offers to Purchase. Prior Events Relating to the Offer On September 28, 1995, the Purchaser announced the extension of the Expiration Dates of the Offers to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 6, 1995. The Purchaser and McNeil Partners, L.P., the general partner of each of the Partnerships ("McNeil Partners"), had been engaged in settlement discussions which, among other things, related to: (i) settlement of litigation with respect to the Tender Offers for the Partnerships; and (ii) the acquisition of substantially all of the interest in the Partnerships' general partner and the property manager of the Partnerships by affiliates of Carl C. Icahn. Those discussions broke off. Further, neither McNeil Partners, nor its affiliates, has commenced a tender offer for the Partnerships, despite various statements by McNeil Partners suggesting that they might do so. In light of this state of affairs, the Purchaser determined that the extension of the Expiration Dates of the Tender Offers will be the final extension. Limited Partners may wish to consider that: (i) there is no active trading market for the Units; (ii) the Purchaser's Offer provides liquidity for Limited Partners who would like to sell their Units; and (iii) the Purchaser's Offer is currently the only Offer for the Units. Limited Partners are urged to review the Offers to Purchase in their entirety in determining whether to tender their Units. Procedures for Tender of Units In order to complete the tender of your Units to the Purchaser, you must deliver to the Depositary for the Offer, IBJ Schroder Bank & Trust Company, at its address set forth on the back cover of the Offers to Purchase, the following: (i) a properly completed and duly executed Assignment of Partnership Interest, any other documents required by the Assignment of Partnership Interest (or facsimiles thereof) and the associated Certificates; and (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Confirmation Letter (or a facsimile thereof).
