Documents Incorporated by Reference: See Item 14, Page 34 TOTAL OF 36 PAGES PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS - ------- -------- ORGANIZATION - ------------ McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as Southmark Income Investors, Ltd., was organized on July 19, 1984 as a limited partnership under the provisions of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act to invest in, hold, manage and dispose of mortgage loans, real estate and real estate-related investments. 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 General Partner was elected at a meeting of limited partners on March 30, 1992, at which time an amended and restated partnership agreement (the "Amended Partnership Agreement") was adopted. Prior to March 30, 1992, the general partner of the Partnership was Southmark Investment Group, Inc. (the "Original General Partner"), a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southmark Corporation ("Southmark"). The principal place of business for the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, LB70, Dallas, Texas, 75240. On September 28, 1984, the Partnership registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-92376) and commenced a public offering for the sale of $30,000,000 of limited partnership units ("Units"). The Units represent equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the holders thereof to participate in certain allocations and distributions of the Partnership. The sale of Units closed on September 27, 1985, with 49,528 Units sold at $500 each, or gross proceeds (net of discounts of $57,546) of $24,706,454 to the Partnership. In 1994 and 1993, 12 and 4 Units were relinquished, respectively, leaving 49,512 Units outstanding at December 31, 1996. SOUTHMARK BANKRUPTCY AND CHANGE IN GENERAL PARTNER - -------------------------------------------------- On July 14, 1989, Southmark filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Neither the Partnership, the General Partner nor the Original General Partner were included in the filing. Southmark's reorganization plan became effective August 10, 1990. Under the plan, most of Southmark's assets, which included Southmark's interests in the Original General Partner, were sold or liquidated for the benefit of creditors. In accordance with Southmark's reorganization plan, Southmark, McNeil and various of their affiliates entered into an asset purchase agreement on October 12, 1990, providing for, among other things, the transfer of control to McNeil or his affiliates of 34 limited partnerships (including the Partnership) in the Southmark portfolio. On February 14, 1991, pursuant to the asset purchase agreement as amended on that date, McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), an affiliate of McNeil, acquired the assets relating to the property management and partnership administrative business of Southmark and its affiliates and commenced management of the Partnership's properties pursuant to an assignment of the existing property management agreements from the Southmark affiliates. On March 30, 1992, the limited partners approved a restructuring proposal that provided for (i) the replacement of the Original General Partner with a new general partner, McNeil Partners, L.P.; (ii) the adoption of the Amended Partnership Agreement which substantially alters the provisions of the original partnership agreement relating to, among other things, compensation, reimbursement of expenses and voting rights; (iii) the approval of an amended property management agreement with McREMI, the Partnership's property manager; and (iv) the approval to change the Partnership's name to McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P. Under the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Partnership began accruing an asset management fee, retroactive to February 14, 1991, which is payable to the General Partner. For a discussion of the methodology for calculating the asset management fee, see Item 13 Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. The proposals approved at the March 30, 1992 meeting were implemented as of that date. Concurrent with the approval of the restructuring, the General Partner acquired from Southmark and its affiliates, for aggregate consideration of $5,441, the general partner interest of the Original General Partner. The General Partner and its affiliates own in the aggregate less than 1% of the Units. CURRENT OPERATIONS - ------------------ General: The Partnership is engaged in the servicing of mortgage loans, including equity and revenue participation loans, and the ownership, operation and management of income-producing properties acquired through foreclosure. In July 1990, the Partnership foreclosed on Park Spring Apartments (renamed Sterling Springs Apartments) in settlement of the related mortgage loan. In September 1991, the Partnership foreclosed on Holiday Inn - Jacksonville (renamed Cherokee Inn) in partial settlement of the related mortgage loan and later sold the property in January 1993. In May 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on 1130 Sacramento Condominiums in settlement of the related mortgage loan. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership operated two income-producing properties as described in Item 2 Properties, and serviced three mortgage loan investments. The Partnership does not directly employ any personnel. The General Partner conducts the business of the Partnership directly and through its affiliates. The Partnership reimburses affiliates of the General Partner for such services rendered in accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreement. See Item 8 - Note 2 - "Transactions With Affiliates." The business of the Partnership to date has involved only one industry segment. See Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Partnership has no foreign operations. The business of the Partnership is not seasonal. Business Plan: The Partnership determined to evaluate market and other economic conditions to establish the optimum time to commence an orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets in accordance with the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement. Taking such conditions as well as other pertinent information into account, the Partnership has determined to begin orderly liquidation of all its assets. Although there can be no assurance as to the timing of the liquidation due to real estate market conditions, the general difficulty of disposing of real estate, and other general economic factors, it is anticipated that such liquidation would result in the dissolution of the Partnership followed by a liquidating distribution to the limited partners by December 1998. Until such time as the Partnership's assets are liquidated, the Partnership's plan of operations is to preserve or increase the net operating income of its assets whenever possible, while at the same time making whatever capital expenditures are reasonable under the circumstances in order to preserve and enhance the value of the Partnership's assets. Competitive Conditions: Since the principal business of the Partnership is to own and operate real estate acquired through foreclosure and to service mortgage loans secured by real estate investments, the Partnership is subject to certain of the risks incidental to ownership of real estate and interests therein, many of which relate to the illiquidity of this type of investment. These risks include changes in general or local economic conditions, changes in supply or demand for competing properties in an area, changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds which may render the sale or refinancing of a property difficult or unattractive, changes in real estate and zoning laws, increases in real property tax rates and Federal or local economic or rent controls. The illiquidity of real estate investments generally impairs the ability of the Partnership and its borrowers to respond promptly to changed circumstances. The Partnership and its borrowers compete with numerous established companies, private investors (including foreign investors), real estate investment trusts, limited partnerships and other entities (many of which have greater resources than the Partnership and its borrowers) in connection with the sale, financing and leasing of properties. The impact of these risks on the Partnership, including losses from operations and foreclosures of the Partnership's properties, is described in Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. See Item 2 - Properties for a discussion of the competitive conditions at each of the Partnership's properties. 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 December 31, 1996. 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, collect payments on mortgage loan investments and respond to changing economic and competitive factors. Other Information: The environmental laws of the Federal government and of certain state and local governments impose liability on current property owners for the clean-up of hazardous and toxic substances discharged on the property. This liability may be imposed without regard to the timing, cause or person responsible for the release of such substances onto the property. The Partnership could be subject to such liability in the event that it owns properties having such environmental problems. The Partnership has no knowledge of any pending claims or proceedings regarding such environmental problems. In August 1995, High River Limited Partnership ("High River"), a Delaware limited partnership controlled by Carl C. Icahn, announced that it had commenced an unsolicited tender to purchase from holders of Units up to approximately 45% of the outstanding Units of the Partnership for a purchase price of $100 per Unit. In September 1996, High River made another unsolicited tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding Units of the Partnership for a purchase price of $170.38 per Unit. In addition, High River made unsolicited tender offers for certain other partnerships controlled by the General Partner. The Partnership recommended that the limited partners reject the tender offers made with respect to the Partnership and not tender their Units. The General Partner believes that as of January 31, 1997, High River has purchased approximately 13% of the outstanding Units pursuant to the tender offers. In addition, all litigation filed by High River, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates in connection with the tender offers has been dismissed without prejudice. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES - ------- ---------- The following table sets forth the real estate investment portfolio of the Partnership at December 31, 1996. All of the buildings and the land on which they are located are owned by the Partnership in fee. 1130 Sacramento Condominiums is unencumbered by mortgage indebtedness. Sterling Springs Apartments is subject to a first lien deed of trust as set forth more fully in Item 8 - Note 7 - "Mortgage Note Payable." See also Item 8 - Note 4 "Real Estate Investments" and Schedule III - Real Estate Investments and Accumulated Depreciation. In the opinion of management, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.
Net Basis 1996 Date Property Description of Property Debt Property Taxes Acquired - -------- ----------- -------------- ------------- -------------- -------- 1130 Sacramento Condominiums San Francisco, CA 4 units $ 2,402,198 $ - $ 38,396 5/93 Sterling Springs Apartments Austin, TX (1) 172 units 3,055,389 2,715,909 132,201 7/90 ----------- ----------- ---------- $ 5,457,587 $ 2,715,909 $ 170,597 ============ ============ ===========
- -------------------------------- Total: Condominiums - 4 units Apartments - 172 units (1) Sterling Springs Apartments is owned by Sterling Springs Fund XX Limited Partnership, which is wholly-owned by the Partnership. The following table sets forth the properties' occupancy rate and rent per square foot for the last five years:
1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 ------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- ---------- 1130 Sacramento (1) Occupancy Rate............ 100% 100% 75% N/A N/A Rent Per Square Foot...... $25.12 $25.96 $13.91 N/A N/A Sterling Springs Occupancy Rate............ 91% 99% 95% 98% 97% Rent Per Square Foot...... $9.28 $9.10 $ 8.37 $7.62 $6.76
(1) Construction on 1130 Sacramento Condominiums was completed in January 1994. Occupancy rate represents all units leased divided by the total number of units of the property as of December 31 of the given year. Rent per square foot represents all revenue, except interest, derived from the property's operations divided by the leasable square footage of the property. Competitive conditions: 1130 Sacramento - --------------- 1130 Sacramento is an eight-story residential condominium containing four units. The property is located in the prestigious Nob Hill area of San Francisco, California. As construction of the property was completed in January 1994 and the property is in excellent condition, no capital expenditures are anticipated in 1997. Due to the high rental rates, this property appeals to a very small market. However, all units were leased throughout 1996 and the Partnership will attempt to keep all units leased during 1997. Sterling Springs - ---------------- Sterling Springs is a garden-style apartment community located in the southwest area of Austin, Texas. A large number of competing apartment units were built in the past three years and additional development is projected for 1997. Occupancy decreased in 1996 and management expects to maintain occupancy in the low 90% range in 1997. Planned rental rate increases in 1997 should allow the property to slightly increase rental revenue. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ------- ----------------- The Partnership is not party to, nor are any of the Partnership's properties the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Partnership's business, except for the following: 1) HCW Pension Real Estate Fund, Ltd. et al. v. Ernst & Young, BDO Seidman et al. (Case #92-06560-A). This suit was filed on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships (as defined in this Section 1, the "Affiliated Partnerships") on May 26, 1992, in the 14th Judicial District Court of Dallas County. The petition sought recovery against the Partnership's former auditors, Ernst & Young, for negligence and fraud in failing to detect and/or report overcharges of fees/expenses by Southmark, the former general partner. The former auditors initially asserted counterclaims against the Affiliated Partnerships based on alleged fraudulent misrepresentations made to the auditors by the former management of the Affiliated Partnerships (Southmark) in the form of client representation letters executed and delivered to the auditors by Southmark management. The counterclaims sought recovery of attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending this action. The counterclaims were later dismissed on appeal, as discussed below. The trial court granted summary judgment against the Affiliated Partnerships based on the statute of limitations; however, on appeal, the Dallas Court of Appeals reversed the trial court and remanded for trial the Affiliated Partnerships' fraud claims against Ernst & Young. The Texas Supreme Court denied Ernst & Young's application for writ of error on January 11, 1996. Shortly before trial, the district court judge once again granted summary judgment against the Affiliated Partnerships on December 2, 1996. The Partnership is continuing to pursue vigorously its claims against Ernst & Young; however, the final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time. 2) Martha Hess, et al. v. Southmark Equity Partners II, Ltd., Southmark Income Investors, Ltd. (presently known as McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P.), Southmark Equity Partners, Ltd., Southmark Realty Partners III, Ltd., and Southmark Realty Partners II, Ltd., et al. ("Hess"); Kotowski v. Southmark Equity Partners, Ltd. and Donald Arceri v. Southmark Income Investors, Ltd. The Hess case was filed on May 20, 1988, by Martha Hess, individually and on behalf of a putative class of those similarly situated. The original, first, second and third amended complaints in Hess sought rescission, pursuant to the Illinois Securities Act, of over $2.7 million of principal invested in five Southmark (now McNeil) partnerships, and other relief including damages for breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. The original, first, second and third amended complaints in Hess were dismissed against the defendant-group because the Appellate Court held that they were not the proper subject of a class action complaint. Hess was, thereafter, amended a fourth time to state causes of action against unrelated partnership entities. Hess went to judgment against that entity and the judgment, along with the prior dismissals of the class action, was appealed. The claims against the Partnership were dismissed by the Appellate Court. 3) James F. Schofield, Gerald C. Gillett, Donna S. Gillett, Jeffrey Homburger, Elizabeth Jung, Robert Lewis, and Warren Heller et al. v. McNeil Partners L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. 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 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., et al. - 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 fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal defendants as listed above (as defined in this Section 3, the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of their senior officers and/or directors (as defined in this Section 3, collectively, the "Defendants") breached their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective amended partnership agreements. 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. On January 7, 1997, the Court ordered consolidation with three other similar actions listed below. The Partnerships filed a demurrer to the complaint and a motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the complaint in all respects. The demurrer is pending. The Partnerships deny that there is any merit to Plaintiff's allegations and intend to vigorously defend this action. 4) Alfred Napoletano v. McNeil Partners, L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. McNeil, McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund V, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XI, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV, L.P. - Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC133849 (Class Action Complaint).

See Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In September 1991, the Partnership foreclosed on Holiday Inn - Jacksonville (renamed Cherokee Inn) in Jacksonville, Texas, in partial settlement of the mortgage loan secured by the property and later sold the property in January 1993. In May 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on 1130 Sacramento Condominiums in settlement of the mortgage loan secured by the property. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------- ----------------------------------------------------------- AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- The Partnership was formed to engage in the business of making and servicing mortgage loans and acquiring, operating and ultimately disposing of income-producing real properties. In July 1990, the Partnership foreclosed on Park Springs Apartments (renamed Sterling Springs Apartments) in Austin, Texas, in settlement of the mortgage loan secured by the property. In September 1991, the Partnership foreclosed on Holiday Inn - Jacksonville (renamed Cherokee Inn) in Jacksonville, Texas, in partial settlement of the mortgage loan secured by the property and later sold the property in January 1993. In May 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on 1130 Sacramento Condominiums in settlement of the mortgage loan secured by the property. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership serviced three mortgage loan investments totaling $4,138,453 and operated two income-producing properties. Both properties were acquired through foreclosure. In June 1993, the Partnership acquired a mortgage note payable secured by Sterling Springs Apartments. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- 1996 compared to 1995 Revenue: Total revenue decreased by $19,412 in 1996 as compared to 1995. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in other interest income, partially offset by property tax refunds received in 1996, as discussed below. Other interest income decreased by $41,030 in 1996 in relation to 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of a lower average amount of cash available for short-term investment due to an increase in the amount of cash distributions paid to limited partners in the first and third quarters of 1996. In 1996, the Partnership received $17,063 in refunds of prior years' property taxes for 1130 Sacramento. The assessed taxable value of the property was reduced by taxing authorities as a result of an appeal filed on behalf of the property. Expenses: Total expenses decreased by $72,032 in 1996 as compared to 1995. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in property taxes, utilities and general and administrative-affiliates, partially offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance, as discussed below. Property taxes decreased by $9,464 in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to a reduction in the assessed taxable value of 1130 Sacramento Condominiums, as previously discussed. Repairs and maintenance expense increased by $18,895 in 1996 in relation to 1995. The increase was mainly due to increased cleaning and decorating costs incurred at Sterling Springs Apartments due to a higher rate of turnover of units in 1996. In addition, the Partnership expended approximately $4,000 to repair a water main break at the property in 1996. 1996 utilities expense decreased by $9,739 as compared to 1995. Water usage was higher at Sterling Springs Apartments in 1995 as a result of several minor water leaks at the property. General and administrative-affiliates decreased by $76,003 in 1996 as compared to 1995. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in overhead expenses allocated to the Partnership by McREMI. 1995 compared to 1994 Revenue: Total revenue increased by $210,292 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The increase was due to an increase in rental revenue and other interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on mortgage loan investments, as discussed below. Rental revenue for 1995 increased by $233,113 in relation to 1994. The increase was partially due to an increase in rental rates at Sterling Springs Apartments in February 1995. Also contributing to the increase in rental revenue was the increase in occupancy at 1130 Sacramento Condominiums. Although construction of the building was completed in January 1994, two of the four units were not leased until the third quarter of 1994. Interest income on mortgage loan investments decreased by $91,321 in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to the modification of the Idlewood Nursing Home mortgage loan investment in February 1995 (See Item 8 - Note 5 "Mortgage Loan Investments"). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), which the Partnership adopted in 1994, the Partnership has ceased accruing interest on the loan and all payments received are recorded as a reduction of principal. Other interest income earned on short-term investments of cash and cash equivalents increased by $68,500 in 1995, as compared to 1994. The increase was mainly due to an increase in interest rates earned on invested cash. Expenses: Total expenses for 1995 increased by $235,085 as compared to 1994. The increase was mainly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses, as discussed below. Property taxes in 1995 increased by $20,541 in relation to 1994, mainly due to an increase in the assessed taxable value of both of the Partnership's properties by taxing authorities. Repairs and maintenance expense decreased by $17,939 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The decrease was mainly due to a greater amount of costs incurred at 1130 Sacramento in 1994 for repairs resulting from damage caused by a broken water pipe. Property management fees - affiliates increased by $9,188 in 1995, in relation to 1994, due to an increase in gross rental receipts, on which the fees are based, at 1130 Sacramento Condominiums and Sterling Springs Apartments. Utilities expense increased in 1995 by $11,480 in relation to 1994. The increase was mainly due to an increase in water usage at Sterling Springs Apartments in 1995 as a result of several minor water leaks. General and administrative expenses increased by $177,742 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The increase was mainly due to the Partnership incurring approximately $190,000 of costs relating to evaluation and dissemination of information regarding an unsolicited tender offer as discussed in Item 1 - Business. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership generated $453,978 through operating activities in 1996 as compared to $437,492 in 1995 and $447,851 in 1994. The Partnership expended $73,183, $118,615 and $265,844 for capital improvements to its properties in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 1995 includes cost incurred for a retaining wall and a fence at Sterling Springs Apartments. 1994 includes improvements to 1130 Sacramento Condominiums for which construction was completed early in 1994. In 1996 and 1995, the Partnership collected $132,883 and $146,970, respectively, of principal on mortgage loan investments as compared to $35,718 collected in 1994. As previously discussed, in accordance with SFAS 114, all payments received from the borrower on the Idlewood Nursing Home mortgage loan investment were recorded as a reduction of principal in 1996 and 1995. The Partnership also collected a $25,941 fee in 1995 for extending the maturity of the Lakeland Nursing Home mortgage loan investment. The Partnership distributed $1,199,950, $250,001 and $249,933 to the limited partners in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, from cash from operations. Short-term liquidity: At December 31, 1996, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $3,188,257. This balance provides a reasonable level of working capital for the Partnership's immediate needs in operating its properties. In 1997, operations of Sterling Springs Apartments and 1130 Sacramento Condominiums are expected to provide sufficient positive cash flow for normal operations. Management will perform routine repairs and maintenance on the properties to preserve and enhance their value and competitiveness in the market. The Partnership has budgeted approximately $123,000 on capital improvements to its properties in 1997, which are expected to be funded from operations of the properties. For 1997, management expects that cash from operations of its properties and principal and interest collections on the mortgage loan investments, along with the present balance of cash and cash equivalents held, will allow the Partnership to meet its obligations as they come due. The Partnership distributed $749,994 to the limited partners in February 1997. Long-term liquidity: Only one property, Sterling Springs Apartments, is encumbered with mortgage debt. The mortgage on this property is not due until 2003. In the event that the Partnership acquires ownership of other properties through foreclosure, the cash and cash equivalent balances presently held will provide a source for the maintenance and improvement of the properties. Because the timing and number of properties which may be foreclosed is uncertain, there is no assurance that the balances presently held will be sufficient for needed capital improvements. At present, there are no commitments nor any known needs for improvements to the properties securing the Partnership's loans. The Partnership has no existing lines of credit from outside sources. Another possible source of funds is the sale of the Partnership's mortgage loan investments or properties securing the Partnership's mortgage loans. Such sales are possibilities only, and since the Partnership does not control the properties securing its loans, sales of those properties may occur only if initiated by the borrower or in the event of foreclosure by the Partnership. There is no assurance that any sales can be contracted or closed to coincide with the Partnership's future cash needs. For the long term, the Partnership will remain dependent on operations of the properties it owns or of the properties securing its loans as the primary source of debt repayment, until the properties can be sold. The Partnership determined to evaluate market and other economic conditions to establish the optimum time to commence an orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets in accordance with the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement. Taking such conditions as well as other pertinent information into account, the Partnership has determined to begin orderly liquidation of all its assets. Although there can be no assurance as to the timing of the liquidation due to real estate market conditions, the general difficulty of disposing of real estate, and other general economic factors, it is anticipated that such liquidation would result in the dissolution of the Partnership followed by a liquidating distribution to the limited partners by December 1998.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XX, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1996 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Organization - ------------ McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as Southmark Income Investors, Ltd., was organized on July 19, 1984 as a limited partnership under the provisions of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act to invest in, hold, manage and dispose of mortgage loans, real estate and real estate-related investments. 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 General Partner was elected at a meeting of limited partners on March 30, 1992, at which time an amended and restated partnership agreement (the "Amended Partnership Agreement") was adopted. The principal place of business for the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, LB70, Dallas, Texas, 75240. The Partnership is engaged in the servicing of mortgage loans, including equity and revenue participation loans, and the ownership, operation and management of income-producing properties acquired through foreclosure. In July 1990, the Partnership foreclosed on Park Spring Apartments (renamed Sterling Springs Apartments) in settlement of the related mortgage loan. In May 1993, the Partnership foreclosed on 1130 Sacramento Condominiums in settlement of the related mortgage loan. The Partnership determined to evaluate market and other economic conditions to establish the optimum time to commence an orderly liquidation of the Partnership's assets in accordance with the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership operated two income-producing properties as described in Note 4 - "Real Estate Investments," and serviced three mortgage loan investments as described in Note 5 - "Mortgage Loan Investments" and Note 6 - "Mortgage Loan Investment - Affiliate." Basis of Presentation - --------------------- The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Partnership's financial statements consolidate the accounts of Sterling Springs Fund XX Limited Partnership. This single asset tier partnership was formed to accommodate the refinancing of Sterling Springs Apartments. The Partnership is the limited partner and wholly-owns the corporation that is the general partner of the tier partnership. The Partnership retains effective control of the tier partnership. Real Estate Investments - ----------------------- Real estate investments are generally stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value. Real estate investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When the carrying value of a property exceeds the sum of all estimated future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized. At such time, a write-down is recorded to reduce the basis of the property to its estimated recoverable amount. The Partnership's method of accounting for real estate investments is in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), which the Partnership adopted effective January 1, 1996. The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements. Improvements and betterments are capitalized and expensed through depreciation charges. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation - ------------ Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 25 years. Mortgage Loan Investments - ------------------------- Mortgage loan investments are recorded at their original basis, net of any allowance for impairment. Interest income is recognized as it is earned. Interest accrual is ceased at such time as management determines collection is doubtful. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash on deposit in financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value. Escrow Deposits - --------------- The Partnership is required to maintain escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of its mortgage indebtedness agreement. These escrow accounts are controlled by the mortgagee and are used for payment of property taxes, hazard insurance, capital improvements and/or property replacements. Carrying amounts for escrow deposits approximate fair value. Deferred Borrowing Costs - ------------------------ Loan fees and other related costs incurred to obtain long-term financing on real property are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related mortgage note payable. Amortization of deferred borrowing costs is included in interest expense on the Statements of Operations. Discount on Mortgage Note Payable - --------------------------------- The discount on the mortgage note payable is being amortized over the remaining term of the related mortgage note using the effective interest method. Amortization of the discount on the mortgage note payable is included in interest expense on the Statements of Operations. Rental Revenues - --------------- The Partnership leases its properties under short-term operating leases. Lease terms generally are less than one year in duration. Rental revenue is recognized as earned. Income Taxes - ------------ No provision for Federal income taxes is necessary in the financial statements of the Partnership because, as a partnership, it is not subject to Federal income tax and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the partners. Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss - ------------------------------------- Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, net income and net losses (except from a terminating disposition) are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Federal income tax law provides that the allocation of loss to a partner will not be recognized unless the allocation is in accordance with a partner's interest in the partnership or the allocation has substantial economic effect. Internal Revenue Code Section 704(b) and accompanying Treasury Regulations establish criteria for allocation of Partnership deductions attributable to debt. The Partnership's tax allocations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 have been made in accordance with these provisions. Distributions - ------------- Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, operating cash flow and cash from sales or refinancings are distributed 100% to the limited partners as further defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement. Terminating dispositions are to be made in accordance with the partners' positive capital account balances. Distributions may be restricted or suspended in circumstances where the General Partner determines that such action is in the best interest of the Partnership. The Partnership distributed $1,199,950, $250,001 and $249,933 of cash from operations in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No distributions were paid to the General Partner in 1996, 1995 or 1994. The Partnership distributed $749,994 to the limited partners in February 1997 from cash from operations. Net Income Per Limited Partnership Unit - --------------------------------------- Net income per limited partnership unit ("Unit") is computed by dividing net income allocated to the limited partners by the weighted average number of Units outstanding. Per Unit information has been computed based on 49,512 average Units outstanding during 1996, 1995 and 1994. NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - ------------------------------------- The Partnership pays property management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental receipts for its properties to McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), an affiliate of the General Partner, for providing property management services and leasing services. The Partnership reimburses McREMI for its costs, including overhead, of administering the Partnership's affairs. Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is paying an asset management fee to the General Partner. Through 1999, the asset management fee is calculated as 1% of the Partnership's tangible asset value. Tangible asset value is determined by using the greater of (i) an amount calculated by applying a capitalization rate of 9 percent to the annualized net operating income of each property, (ii) a value of $10,000 per apartment unit or (iii) on 1130 Sacramento, the net book value of the property is used 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 fee percentage decreases subsequent to 1999. Compensation and reimbursements paid to or accrued for the benefit of the General Partner or its affiliates are as follows:

NOTE 3 - TAXABLE INCOME - ----------------------- McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P. is a partnership and is not subject to Federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial statements of the Partnership since the income or loss of the Partnership is to be included in the tax returns of the individual partners. The tax returns of the Partnership are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result in adjustments to distributive shares of taxable income or loss, the tax liability of the partners could be adjusted accordingly. The Partnership's net assets and liabilities for tax purposes exceeded the net assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes by $7,486,117 in 1996, $6,954,599 in 1995 and $6,434,406 in 1994. NOTE 4 - REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS - -------------------------------- The basis and accumulated depreciation of the Partnership's real estate investments at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are set forth in the following tables:

NOTE 5 - MORTGAGE LOAN INVESTMENTS - ---------------------------------- The following sets forth the Partnership's mortgage loan investments to unaffiliated borrowers at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The mortgage loan investments are secured by the related real estate.
Mortgage Annual Monthly Lien Interest Payments/ December 31, Property Position Rates % Maturity 1996 1995 - -------- -------- ------- ---------------- ------------ ------------ Idlewood Nursing Home (a) First 8.50 (a) 2/98 $ 1,904,260 $ 2,013,820 Allowance for impairment (792,013) (792,013) ---------- ---------- 1,112,247 1,221,807 ---------- ---------- Lakeland Nursing Home (b) First 12.00 $24,995 2/98 2,292,306 2,315,629 ---------- ---------- Total $ 3,404,553 $ 3,537,436 ========== ==========
(a) The Partnership owns an 83% participation interest in the Idlewood Nursing Home mortgage loan investment. In January 1991, the borrowing partnership became unable to make all payments required under the original mortgage loan agreement. Since that time, the mortgage loan agreement has been modified four times such that the maturity date was extended and the interest rate was decreased. On February 27, 1995, the loan was modified such that payments on the loan are due equal to the net cash flow from operations of the property, with a minimum amount due of $9,130 per month. As a result of the borrowing partnership's inability to make the required payments, the Partnership recorded a $792,013 provision for loss in 1992 to reduce the carrying value of the mortgage loan investment to the estimated recoverable amount of the collateral. The Partnership ceased accruing interest on the loan in 1994. The general partner of the borrowing partnership has personally guaranteed 10% of the total loan amount. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"), which the Partnership adopted in 1994, the loan is not recorded as an in-substance foreclosure at December 31, 1996 and 1995. In accordance with SFAS 114, a measure of the impairment of the Idlewood loan has been made based on the present value of expected future cash flows required under the February 1995 modification. This measure indicates an impairment less than the total allowance previously recorded. Due to the uncertainties surrounding this mortgage loan investment and its ultimate realizability given its history of numerous modifications, none of the previously recorded allowance will be reversed until the underlying property has demonstrated its ability to meet the required principal and interest payments. All payments received on the loan in 1996 and 1995 were recorded as a reduction of principal in accordance with SFAS 114. (b) The Partnership owns a 90% participation interest in the Lakeland Nursing Home mortgage loan. Monthly payments include principal and interest. The general partner of the borrowing partnership personally guaranteed 25% of the total loan amount. Based on market lending rates for mortgage loan investments with similar terms, risks and average maturities, the fair value of mortgage loan investments was approximately $4,514,000 at December 31, 1996 and $4,413,000 at December 31, 1995. A summary of activity for mortgage loan investments for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 is as follows:
For the Years Ended December 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 --------------- -------------- ---------------- Balance at beginning of year............... $ 3,537,436 $ 3,684,406 $ 3,637,557 Accrued interest added to principal........ - - 82,567 Collection of principal....................

NOTE 6 - MORTGAGE LOAN INVESTMENT - AFFILIATE - --------------------------------------------- The following sets forth the Partnership's mortgage loan investment to an affiliated borrower at December 31, 1996 and 1995:
Mortgage Annual Monthly Lien Interest Payments/ December 31, Property Position (a) Rates % Maturity 1994 1995 - -------- ------------ ---------- ---------------- ----------- ---------- Fort Meigs Shopping Center Second 8.25 (b) $4,074 (b) 4/97 $ 733,900 $ 733,900 ========== =========
(a) The mortgage loan is non-recourse to the borrower. (b) Although interest on the loan accrues at 8.25%, interest only payments at 6.66% are payable monthly. On August 24, 1992, pursuant to a lawsuit settlement, a mortgage loan investment, which was secured by a property owned by an affiliate of the General Partner, was transferred to the Partnership. In June 1993, a new loan agreement was executed; and the affiliate substituted a second lien on another of its properties, Fort Meigs Plaza Shopping Center, as the collateral on the loan. Related to the initial transfer, the Partnership recorded a deferred gain for the proportion of the non-cash assets received as compared to total assets received pursuant to the lawsuit settlement. This deferred gain is being amortized as principal payments are received on the mortgage loan investment. The deferred gain totaled $150,054 at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Based on market lending rates for mortgage loan investments with similar terms, risks and average maturities, the fair value of the mortgage loan investment-affiliate was approximately $690,000 at December 31, 1996 and $723,000 at December 31, 1995. NOTE 7 - MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE - ------------------------------ The following sets forth the mortgage note payable of the Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The mortgage note payable is secured by the related real estate investment.
Mortgage Annual Monthly Lien Interest Payments/ December 31, Property Position (a) Rate % Maturity 1996 1995 - -------- ------------ ------- ---------------- -------------- --------------- Sterling Springs Apartments (c) First 8.15 $23,443 7/03 $ 2,776,313 $ 2,829,007 Discount (b) (60,404) (68,046) ------------- ------------- $ 2,715,909 $ 2,760,961 ============= ==============
(a) The debt is non-recourse to the Partnership. (b) The mortgage loan was discounted to an effective rate of 8.62%. (c) Financing was obtained in June 1993 under the terms of a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit financing. The note may not be prepaid in whole or part before July 1998. Any prepayments made during the sixth or seventh loan years are subject to a Yield Maintenance Premium, as defined. Scheduled principal maturities of the mortgage note payable under existing terms, excluding a discount of $60,404, are as follows: 1997 $ 57,153 1998 61,989 1999 67,234 2000 72,923 2001 79,093 Thereafter 2,437,921 ------------ Total $ 2,776,313 ============ Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for a mortgage loan with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the mortgage note payable was approximately $2,674,000 at December 31, 1996 and $2,772,000 at December 31, 1995. NOTE 8 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - -------------------------- The Partnership is not party to, nor are any of the Partnership's properties the subject of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the Partnership's business, except for the following: 1) HCW Pension Real Estate Fund, Ltd. et al. v. Ernst & Young, BDO Seidman et al. (Case #92-06560-A). This suit was filed on behalf of the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships (as defined in this Section 1, the "Affiliated Partnerships") on May 26, 1992, in the 14th Judicial District Court of Dallas County. The petition sought recovery against the Partnership's former auditors, Ernst & Young, for negligence and fraud in failing to detect and/or report overcharges of fees/expenses by Southmark, the former general partner. The former auditors initially asserted counterclaims against the Affiliated Partnerships based on alleged fraudulent misrepresentations made to the auditors by the former management of the Affiliated Partnerships (Southmark) in the form of client representation letters executed and delivered to the auditors by Southmark management. The counterclaims sought recovery of attorneys' fees and costs incurred in defending this action. The counterclaims were later dismissed on appeal, as discussed below. The trial court granted summary judgment against the Affiliated Partnerships based on the statute of limitations; however, on appeal, the Dallas Court of Appeals reversed the trial court and remanded for trial the Affiliated Partnerships' fraud claims against Ernst & Young. The Texas Supreme Court denied Ernst & Young's application for writ of error on January 11, 1996. Shortly before trial, the district court judge once again granted summary judgment against the Affiliated Partnerships on December 2, 1996. The Partnership is continuing to pursue vigorously its claims against Ernst & Young; however, the final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time. 2) Martha Hess, et al. v. Southmark Equity Partners II, Ltd., Southmark Income Investors, Ltd. (presently known as McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P.), Southmark Equity Partners, Ltd., Southmark Realty Partners III, Ltd., and Southmark Realty Partners II, Ltd., et al. ("Hess"); Kotowski v. Southmark Equity Partners, Ltd. and Donald Arceri v. Southmark Income Investors, Ltd. The Hess case was filed on May 20, 1988, by Martha Hess, individually and on behalf of a putative class of those similarly situated. The original, first, second and third amended complaints in Hess sought rescission, pursuant to the Illinois Securities Act, of over $2.7 million of principal invested in five Southmark (now McNeil) partnerships, and other relief including damages for breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. The original, first, second and third amended complaints in Hess were dismissed against the defendant-group because the Appellate Court held that they were not the proper subject of a class action complaint. Hess was, thereafter, amended a fourth time to state causes of action against unrelated partnership entities. Hess went to judgment against that entity and the judgment, along with the prior dismissals of the class action, was appealed. The claims against the Partnership were dismissed by the Appellate Court. 3) James F. Schofield, Gerald C. Gillett, Donna S. Gillett, Jeffrey Homburger, Elizabeth Jung, Robert Lewis, and Warren Heller et al. v. McNeil Partners L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. 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 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., et al. - 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 fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal defendants as listed above (as defined in this Section 3, the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of their senior officers and/or directors (as defined in this Section 3, collectively, the "Defendants") breached their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective amended partnership agreements. 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. On January 7, 1997, the Court ordered consolidation with three other similar actions listed below. The Partnerships filed a demurrer to the complaint and a motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the complaint in all respects. The demurrer is pending. The Partnerships deny that there is any merit to Plaintiff's allegations and intend to vigorously defend this action. 4) Alfred Napoletano v. McNeil Partners, L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., Robert A. McNeil, Carole J. McNeil, McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund V, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XI, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV, L.P. - Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC133849 (Class Action Complaint).

On January 7, 1997, this action was consolidated by court order with Scholfield, et al., referenced above. 6) Robert Lewis v. McNeil Partners, L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., Robert A. McNeil et al. - In the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, A-14th Judicial District, Cause No. 95-08535 (Class Action) - Plaintiff, Robert Lewis, is a limited partner with McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd. and McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd. On April 11, 1996, the action was dismissed without prejudice in anticipation of consolidation with other class action complaints. On January 7, 1997, this action was consolidated by court order with Schofield, et al., referenced above. 7) McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund V, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund IX, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XI, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XIV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIV, L.P., and McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV, L.P. v. High River Limited Partnership, Riverdale Investors Corp., Carl C. Icahn, and Unicorn Associates Corporation - United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 96-5680SVW. On August 12, 1996, High River Limited Partnership ("High River"), a partnership controlled by Carl C. Icahn, sent a letter to the partnerships referenced above demanding lists of the names, current residences or business addresses and certain other information concerning the unitholders of such partnerships. On August 19, 1996, these partnerships commenced the above action seeking, among other things, to declare that such partnerships are not required to provide High River with a current list of unitholders on the grounds that the defendants commenced a tender offer in violation of the federal securities laws by filing certain Schedule 13D Amendments on August 5, 1996. On October 16, 1996, the presiding judge denied the partnerships' requests for a permanent and preliminary injunction to enjoin High River's tender offers and granted the defendants' request for an order directing the partnerships to turn over current lists of unitholders to High River forthwith. On October 24, 1996, the partnerships delivered the unitholder lists to High River. The judge's decision resolved all the issues in the action. McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XX, LTD.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership paid or accrued $164,245 of such asset management fees. The Partnership pays property management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental receipts of its properties to McREMI, an affiliate of the General Partner, for providing property management services.
