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 XV, LTD. Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) September 30, 1998 NOTE 1. - ------- McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized June 26, 1984 as a limited partnership organized under the provisions of the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act. 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 amended and restated limited partnership agreement, dated October 11, 1991 (the "Amended Partnership Agreement"). 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 nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. 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, 1997, and the notes thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available upon request by writing to McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, 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 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 and leasing services. The Partnership reimburses McREMI for its costs, including overhead, of administering the Partnership's affairs. Under terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is paying a Management Incentive Distribution ("MID") to the General Partner. The maximum MID is calculated as 1% of the tangible asset value of the Partnership. The maximum MID percentage decreases subsequent to 1999. Tangible asset value is determined by using the greater of (i) an amount calculated by applying a capitalization rate of 9% to the annualized net operating income of each property or (ii) a value of $10,000 per apartment unit to arrive at the property tangible asset value. The property tangible asset value is then added to the book value of all other assets excluding intangible items. MID will be paid to the extent of the lesser of the Partnership's excess cash flow, as defined, or net operating income, as defined, 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 limited partnership units ("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: Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------------ 1998 1997 -------- -------- Property management fees - affiliates ....... $298,069 $303,694 Charged to general and administrative - affiliates: Partnership administration ............... 141,091 113,136 -------- -------- $439,160 $416,830 ======== ======== Charged to General Partner's deficit: MID ...................................... $367,893 $365,247 ======== ======== NOTE 4. - ------- James F.

McNeil Partners L.P., McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., Robert A. McNeil, Carole J.

The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by limited partners of each of the fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal defendants as listed above (the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of their senior officers and/or directors (collectively, the "Defendants") breached their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective Amended Partnership Agreement. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants have rendered such Units highly illiquid and artificially depressed the prices that are available for Units on the resale market. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants engaged in a course of conduct to prevent the acquisition of Units by an affiliate of Carl Icahn by disseminating purportedly false, misleading and inadequate information. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants acted to advance their own personal interests at the expense of the Partnerships' public unit holders by failing to sell Partnership properties and failing to make distributions to unitholders. On December 16, 1996, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint. Plaintiffs are suing for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and an accounting, alleging, among other things, that the management fees paid to the McNeil affiliates over the last six years are excessive, that these fees should be reduced retroactively and that the respective Amended Partnership Agreements governing the Partnerships are invalid. Defendants filed a demurrer to the consolidated and amended complaint and a motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the consolidated and amended complaint in all respects. A hearing on Defendant's demurrer and motion to strike was held on May 5, 1997. The Court granted Defendants' demurrer, dismissing the consolidated and amended complaint with leave to amend. 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 on final Court approval is scheduled for December 17, 1998. Plaintiff's counsel intend 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 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- The Partnership is engaged in real estate activities, including the ownership, operation and management of residential and other real estate related assets. At September 30, 1998, the Partnership owned four apartment properties. Three of the four Partnership's properties are subject to mortgage notes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Revenue: Partnership revenues decreased by $69,224 and $7,478 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same period last year. Rental revenue decreased by $21,616 and interest income increased by $14,138 or 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period last year. Rental revenues decreased $69,234 and $21,616 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to last year. The decrease in rental revenues is due to a decrease in the occupancy rates at Mountain Shadows offset by increases in rental rates at Arrowhead and Cedar Run. Mountain Shadows, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has experience a decline in market occupancy rates as a result of over building in the apartment market. Management believes this condition is short-term and anticipates improvement performance for 1999. Expenses: Partnership expenses increased by $31,696 and $17,923 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997. An increase in general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance and depreciation expense. Depreciation decreased by $84,176 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease is due to Cedar Run, which is currently classified as an asset held for sale, for which no depreciation has been recognized since August 1, 1997. Repairs and maintenance expense increased for the three months and decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 by $15,165 and $100,207, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period last year is due to increases in cleaning and decorating. The decrease is due to the reduction in appliance and carpet replacement expenses at the properties, which did not meet the criteria for capitalization. This decrease is also due to a reduction in carpet cleaning, carpet repair and equipment and furniture rental. General and administrative expenses increased $25,219 and $177,978 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. The increase was mainly due to costs incurred to explore alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership (see Liquidity and Capital Resources). The increase was partially offset by decreases attributable to investor services. During 1997, charges for investor services were provided by a third party vendor. Beginning with 1998, these services are provided by affiliates of the General Partner. General and administrative-affiliate expenses increased by $6,977 and $27,955 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 1997. The increase is due to the change in investor services charges as discussed above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership's primary source of cash flows is from operating activities which generated $1,472,671 of cash in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to $1,383,220 for the same period in 1997. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $89,451 was mainly the result of an increase in cash received from tenants and decrease in the cash paid to affiliates offset by an increase in property taxes. The Partnership expended $418,732 and $365,838 for capital improvements to its properties in the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. During the first nine months of 1998, the Partnership paid $351,637 in principal payments on the mortgage notes and made distributions of $749,797 to the limited partners. Short-term liquidity: At September 30, 1998, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $1,070,884, a decrease of $47,495 from the balance at December 31, 1997. This balance provides a comfortable level of working capital for the Partnership's operations. During 1998, operations of the Partnership's properties are expected to provide positive cash flow from operations. Management will perform routine repairs and maintenance on the properties to preserve and enhance their value in the market. In 1998, the Partnership has budgeted to spend approximately $616,000 on capital improvements, which are expected to be funded from operations of the properties. Long-term liquidity: For the long-term, property operations will remain the primary source of funds. While the present outlook for the Partnership's liquidity is favorable, market conditions may change and property operations can deteriorate. In that event, the Partnership would require other sources of working capital. No such other sources have been identified, and the Partnership has no established lines of credit. Other possible actions to resolve working capital deficiencies include refinancing or renegotiating terms of existing loans, deferring major capital expenditures on Partnership properties except where improvements are expected to enhance the competitiveness or marketability of the properties, or arranging working capital support from affiliates. All or a combination of these steps may be inadequate or unfeasible in resolving such potential working capital deficiencies. No affiliate support has been required in the past, and there is no assurance that support would be provided in the future, since neither the General Partner nor any affiliates have any obligation in this regard. As previously announced, the Partnership has retained PaineWebber, Incorporated ("PaineWebber") 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. The Partnership, through PaineWebber, has provided financial and other information to interested parties and is currently conducting discussions with one such party in an attempt to reach a definitive agreement with respect to a sale transaction. 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 that any such agreement will be reached nor the terms thereof. Income allocations and distributions: Terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement specify that income before depreciation is allocated to the General Partner to the extent of MID paid in cash. Depreciation is allocated in the ratio of 99:1 to the limited partners and the General Partner, respectively. Therefore, for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, net loss of $(1,530) and net income of $369,293, respectively, was allocated to the General Partner. The limited partners received net loss allocations of $(151,462) and $(497,514) for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During 1998, the limited partners received a cash distribution of $749,797. The distribution consisted of funds from operations. A distribution of $367,893 for the MID was accrued by the Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 for the General Partner. 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 September 30, 1998. 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. Other Information: Management has reviewed its information technology infrastructure to identify any systems that could be affected by the year 2000 problem. 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. The information systems used by the Partnership for financial reporting and significant accounting functions were made year 2000 compliant during recent systems conversions. Management is in the process of evaluating the mechanical and embedded technological systems at the various properties. Management intends to inventory all such systems and query suppliers, vendors and manufacturers to determine year 2000 compliance. 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. Management is in the process of identifying those risks as well as developing a contingency plan to mitigate potential adverse effects from non-compliance. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.

The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by limited partners of each of the fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal defendants as listed above (the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of their senior officers and/or directors (collectively, the "Defendants") breached their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective Amended Partnership Agreement. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants have rendered such Units highly illiquid and artificially depressed the prices that are available for Units on the resale market. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants engaged in a course of conduct to prevent the acquisition of Units by an affiliate of Carl Icahn by disseminating purportedly false, misleading and inadequate information. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants acted to advance their own personal interests at the expense of the Partnerships' public unit holders by failing to sell Partnership properties and failing to make distributions to unitholders. On December 16, 1996, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint. Plaintiffs are suing for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and an accounting, alleging, among other things, that the management fees paid to the McNeil affiliates over the last six years are excessive, that these fees should be reduced retroactively and that the respective Amended Partnership Agreements governing the Partnerships are invalid. Defendants filed a demurrer to the consolidated and amended complaint and a motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the consolidated and amended complaint in all respects. A hearing on Defendant's demurrer and motion to strike was held on May 5, 1997. The Court granted Defendants' demurrer, dismissing the consolidated and amended complaint with leave to amend. 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 on final Court approval is scheduled for December 17, 1998. Plaintiff's counsel intend 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.
