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 XIV, LTD. Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) March 31, 1999 NOTE 1. - ------- McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, 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. The Partnership is governed by an agreement of limited partnership ("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 three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. 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, 1998, and the notes thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available upon request by writing to McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, Ltd., c/o McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240. 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 services for the Partnership's residential and commercial properties and leasing services for its residential properties. McREMI may also choose to provide leasing services for the Partnership's commercial property, in which case McREMI will receive property management fees from the commercial property equal to 3% of the property's gross rental receipts plus leasing commissions based on the prevailing market rate for such services where the property is located. 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. 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 for residential property and $50 per gross square foot for commercial property 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. The maximum MID percentage decreases to .75% in 2000, .50% in 2001 and .25% thereafter. 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, 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 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:

NOTE 4. - ------- On July 18, 1997, a fire caused $49,498 of damage to two units of Embarcadero Club Apartments. In February 1998, the Partnership received $39,498 of insurance reimbursements to cover the repair and restorations costs to Embarcadero Club Apartments. The excess of the insurance proceeds received over the basis of the property damaged was recorded as a $17,998 gain on involuntary conversion. The gain on involuntary conversion was recognized in the first quarter of 1998 when the Partnership received the insurance proceeds. On November 14, 1997, a fire caused $544,716 of damage to eight units of Thunder Hollow Apartments. The Partnership received $503,062 and $31,600 of insurance reimbursements to cover the repair and restoration costs at Thunder Hollow Apartments during 1998 and in the first quarter of 1999, respectively. The excess of the insurance reimbursements received over the basis of the property damaged was recorded as a $375,797 gain on involuntary conversion. The gain was recognized during 1998 as insurance proceeds were received from the Partnership's insurance carrier. $171,277 of the total $375,797 gain was recognized in the first quarter of 1998. ITEM 2. 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 March 31, 1999, the Partnership owned four apartment properties and one retail shopping center. All of the Partnership's properties are subject to mortgage notes. The Partnership placed Redwood Plaza, the Partnership's sole remaining commercial property, on the market for sale on October 1, 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The Partnership's net income amounted to $139,092 for the first quarter of 1999. For the first quarter of 1998, the Partnership reported net income of $264,666. Net income for the first quarter of 1998 included $189,275 of gain on involuntary conversions related to fires at Embarcadero Club Apartments and Thunder Hollow Apartments. The Partnership incurred no such gains during the first quarter of 1999. Revenues: The Partnership's rental revenue increased $55,116 or 2.6% for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to the first quarter of 1998. Tanglewood Village Apartments reported a 9.7% increase in rental revenue due to an increase in base rental rates and an increase in the property's occupancy rate. Rental revenue increased 2.7% and 1.8% at Embarcadero Club Apartments and Thunder Hollow Apartments, respectively. Both properties increased base rental rates, but the increases were partially offset by decreased occupancy. Rental revenue decreased 5.4% at Windrock Apartments because of increases in vacancy, concessions and other rental losses. Rental revenue decreased 1.4% at Redwood Plaza. Base rental rates increased at Redwood Plaza, but the increase was entirely offset by increased vacancy losses. The Partnership expects occupancy to increase later in 1999 as newly reconfigured space at Redwood Plaza is leased to new tenants. The Partnership recognized $189,275 of involuntary conversion gains during the first quarter of 1998 relating to fires at Embarcadero Club Apartments and Thunder Hollow Apartments. An additional $204,520 of gain was recognized in subsequent quarters of 1998. The gains equal insurance proceeds received in excess of the basis of the property damaged by the fires. No such gains were recognized during the first quarter of 1999. Expenses: Partnership expenses decreased $6,300 or 0.3% for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to the first quarter of 1998. Expenses in all categories were comparable to the year-earlier figures. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership generated $706,720 of cash from operating activities for the first quarter of 1999, a 23% increase over cash generated from operating activities for the first quarter of 1998. Most of the increased funds from operating activities was the result of an increase in cash received from tenants combined with a decrease in cash paid to suppliers. The Partnership expended $34,003 and $321,168 in capital improvements during first quarters of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Most of the capital improvements from 1998 related to restoration work at Embarcadero Club Apartments and Thunder Hollow Apartments resulting from fire damage at the two properties. Insurance proceeds of $31,600 and $293,680 were received during the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively, to compensate the Partnership for the fire restoration costs. The Partnership has budgeted a total of $740,000 of capital improvements for 1999. Budgeted capital improvements will be funded from property operations. The Partnership paid $45,120 of MID to the General Partner during the first quarter of 1999. No payments of MID were made during 1998. The Partnership distributed $500,169 and $499,996 to the limited partners during the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. The distribution was funded from cash reserves of the Partnership. Short-term liquidity: The Partnership expended considerable resources over the past several years to restore its properties to good operating condition. These expenditures were necessary to maintain the competitive position of the Partnership's aging properties in each of their markets. The capital improvements enabled the Partnership to increase its rental revenues and reduce certain of its repairs and maintenance expenses. For 1999, the Partnership has budgeted $740,000 of capital improvements to its real estate investments. Budgeted capital improvements for 1999 will be funded from property operations. At March 31, 1999, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $1,944,604. The General Partner considers this level of cash reserves to be adequate to meet the Partnership's operating needs. The General Partner believes that anticipated operating results for 1999 will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's budgeted capital improvements for 1999, repay the current portion of the Partnership's mortgage notes, and provide funds for any required environmental remediation (see Item 5 - Other Information). The Partnership placed Redwood Plaza on the market for sale on October 1, 1996. Long-term liquidity: For the long-term, property operations will remain the primary source of funds. In this regard, the General Partner expects that the capital improvements made by the Partnership over the past few years will yield improved cash flow from property operations in the future. If the Partnership's cash position deteriorates, the General Partner may elect to defer certain of the capital improvements, except where improvements are expected to increase the competitiveness or marketability of the Partnership's properties. As previously announced, the Partnership has retained PaineWebber, Incorporated as its exclusive financial advisor to explore alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership, including, without limitation, a transaction in which limited partnership interests in the Partnership are converted into cash. During the last full week of March, the Partnership entered into a 45 day exclusivity agreement with a well-financed bidder with whom it had commenced discussions with respect to a sale transaction. The Partnership and such party have made significant progress in negotiating the terms of a proposed transaction and are continuing to have intensive discussions with respect to a transaction. In light on these continuing negotiations, the exclusivity agreement has been extended for an additional 21 days until June 4, 1999. It is possible that the General Partner and its affiliates will receive non-cash consideration for their ownership interests in connection with any such transaction. There can be no assurance regarding whether any such agreement will be reached nor the terms thereof. None of the Partnership's remaining mortgage notes mature before 2002. Income Allocations and Distributions: Terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement specify that net losses for financial reporting purposes are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Net income for financial reporting purposes is allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to the greater of (a) 1% of net income or (b) the cumulative amount of the MID paid for which no income allocation has previously been made; any remaining net income is allocated to the limited partners. Therefore, for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, net income of $45,120 and $2,647, respectively, was allocated to the General Partner. Net income of $93,972 and $262,019 was allocated to the limited partners for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership distributed $500,169 and $499,996 to the limited partners in the first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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. The Partnership paid $45,120 of MID to the General Partner during the first quarter of 1999. No MID payments were made to the General Partner during 1998. Forward-Looking Information: Within this document, certain statements are made as to the expected occupancy trends, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Partnership for periods after March 31, 1999. All of these statements are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical and involve risks and uncertainties. The Partnership's actual occupancy trends, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for future periods may differ materially due to several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the Partnership's ability to control costs, make necessary capital improvements, negotiate sales or refinancings of its properties, and respond to changing economic and competitive factors. YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE - -------------------- State of readiness - ------------------ The year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in major systems failure or miscalculations. Management has assessed its information technology ("IT") infrastructure to identify any systems that could be affected by the year 2000 problem. The IT used by the Partnership for financial reporting and significant accounting functions was made year 2000 compliant during recent systems conversions. The software utilized for these functions is licensed by third party vendors who have warranted that their systems are year 2000 compliant. Management is in the process of evaluating the mechanical and embedded technological systems at the various properties. Management has inventoried all such systems and queried suppliers, vendors and manufacturers to determine year 2000 compliance. Based on this review, management believes these systems are substantially compliant. In circumstances of non-compliance management will work with the vendor to remedy the problem or seek alternative suppliers who will be in compliance. Management believes that the remediation of any outstanding year 2000 conversion issues will not have a material or adverse effect on the Partnership's operations. However, no estimates can be made as to the potential adverse impact resulting from the failure of third party service providers and vendors to be year 2000 compliant. Cost - ---- The cost of IT and embedded technology systems testing and upgrades is not expected to be material to the Partnership. Because all the IT systems have been upgraded over the last three years, all such systems were compliant, or made compliant at no additional cost by third party vendors. Management anticipates the costs of assessing, testing, and if necessary replacing embedded technology components will be less than $50,000. Such costs will be funded from operations of the Partnership. Risks - ----- Ultimately, the potential impact of the year 2000 issue will depend not only on the corrective measures the Partnership undertakes, but also on the way in which the year 2000 issue is addressed by government agencies and entities that provide services or supplies to the Partnership. Management has not determined the most likely worst case scenario to the Partnership. As management studies the findings of its property systems assessment and testing, management will develop a better understanding of what would be the worst case scenario. Management believes that progress on all areas is proceeding and that the Partnership will experience no adverse effect as a result of the year 2000 issue. However, there is no assurance that this will be the case. Contingency plans - ----------------- Management is developing contingency plans to address potential year 2000 non-compliance of IT and embedded technology systems. Management believes that failure of any IT system could have an adverse impact on operations. However, management believes that alternative systems are available that could be utilized to minimize such impact. Management believes that any failure in the embedded technology systems could have an adverse impact on that property's performance. Management will assess these risks and develop plans to mitigate possible failures by July 1999. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ------- ----------------- James F.

McNeil, McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XI, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XII, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXI, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVI, L.P., and McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P., Hearth Hollow Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates, L.P., - Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC133799 (Class and Derivative Action Complaint). The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by limited partners of each of the 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. On October 31, 1997, the Plaintiffs filed a second consolidated and amended complaint. The case was stayed pending settlement discussions. A Stipulation of Settlement dated September 15, 1998 has been signed by the parties. Preliminary Court approval was received on October 6, 1998. A hearing for Final Approval of Settlement, initially scheduled for December 17, 1998, has been continued to July 2, 1999. Because McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII, L.P., Hearth Hollow Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates, L.P. would be part of the transaction contemplated in the settlement and Plaintiffs claim that an effort should be made to sell the McNeil Partnerships, Plaintiffs have included allegations with respect to McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII, L.P., Hearth Hollow Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates, L.P. in the third consolidated and amended complaint. Plaintiff's counsel intends to seek an order awarding attorney's fees and reimbursements of their out-of-pocket expenses. The amount of such award is undeterminable until final approval is received from the court. Fees and expenses shall be allocated amongst the Partnerships on a pro rata basis, based upon tangible asset value of each such partnership, less total liabilities, calculated in accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreements for the quarter most recently ended. ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION - ------- ----------------- Environmental Matters: Environmental laws create potential liabilities that may affect property owners. The environmental laws of the federal and certain state governments, for example, impose liability on current and certain past owners of property from which there is a release or threat of release of hazardous substances. This liability includes costs of investigation and remediation of the hazardous substances and natural resource damages. Liability for costs of investigation and remediation is strict, and may be imposed irrespective of whether the property owner was at fault, although there are a number of defenses. Third parties, as well as governments, may recover under these laws. Third parties, such as adjacent property owners, also may seek to recover under the common law, for damages to their property or health. The presence of contamination also may affect the ability of the property owner to sell, lease, or borrow money against the property. To date, environmental concerns, including those related to the presence of hazardous substances, have not generally had a material effect on the Partnership's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. In connection with the proposed sale transaction as more fully described above, in fiscal 1998, an independent environmental consultant engaged by the Partnership completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment of each property owned by the Partnership. Such environmental assessments performed on the properties have not revealed any environmental liability that the Partnership believes would have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business, assets or results of operations, except for the Redwood Plaza property in Utah (the "Property"). The Phase I report recommended additional investigation at the Property because of the presence of a dry cleaning plant that had been there for approximately twenty years, and because the plant reportedly had used and stored the chemical tetrachloroethene (PCE). Pursuant to the Partnership's request, the consultant then conducted a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the Property, and found that some of the soil and groundwater contained PCE and its degradation products. Pursuant to the Partnership's request, the consultant then conducted a Phase III investigation, and found the presence of contamination in soil and groundwater samples taken at the property line. Because the Partnership has not undertaken any groundwater or soil sampling off-site, the extent of the contamination from the Property has not been established. To deal with this situation, the Partnership has applied to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality to enter the Property into the State's Voluntary Cleanup Program, to obtain a release from the State for cleanup liabilities. The Partnership is also investigating whether prior owners or tenants of the Property may be responsible for the remediation of the contaminants and is also reviewing whether the cost of remediation may be covered by insurance. Following the 1998 Phase III Environmental Site Assessment, the Partnership asked its consultant to prepare a preliminary estimate of likely remediation costs for the Property based on all of the information known at that time. These estimated costs ranged from $600,000 to $1,170,000 over a period of five years. These estimates are based on preliminary information and may change as additional data is gathered. There also exists the potential for third party actions, the likelihood and extent of which cannot be predicted at this time. Accordingly, the Partnership recorded a liability for remediation costs at the Property of $600,000 in fiscal year 1998. This estimate may be affected by, among other things, new data and by any modifications to any remediation plan that may be proposed by the Utah regulatory authorities. The effect of the resolution of these matters on the results of operations of the Partnership cannot be predicted because of the uncertainty concerning both the amount and timing of future expenditures and future results of operations. It is possible that these assessments with respect to the Property do not reveal all potential environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental liabilities of which the Partnership is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the Property has not been or will not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Property, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Property, or by third parties unrelated to the Partnership.
