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, 1999 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, 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 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. 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. 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 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:

NOTE 4. - ------- On June 24, 1999, the Partnership and 18 affiliated partnerships, collectively, (the "Partnerships"),the General Partner, McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), McNeil Summerhill, Inc. and Robert A. McNeil entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the "Master Agreement") with WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. ("Newco"), an affiliate of Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership XI, a real estate investment fund managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., whereby Newco and its subsidiaries will acquire the Partnerships. The Master Agreement provides that the Partnerships will be merged with subsidiaries of Newco. The Master Agreement also provides for the acquisition by Newco and its subsidiaries of the assets of McREMI. The aggregate consideration in the transaction, including the assumption or prepayment of all outstanding mortgage debt of the Partnerships, is approximately $644,440,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, the limited partners in the Partnership will receive cash on the closing date of the transaction (the "Closing Date") in exchange for their limited partnership interests. In addition, the Partnership will declare a special distribution to its limited partners on the Closing Date equal to its then positive net working capital balance, if any. The estimated aggregate consideration and net working capital distribution to be received per unit of limited partnership interest in the Partnership were estimated as $160. The above estimates of the Partnership per unit estimated merger consideration and working capital distribution and the interest of McNeil Partners, L.P. are based upon, among other things, the balance sheet of the Partnership as of March 31, 1999, adjusted for intangible assets, non-cash liabilities, transaction expenses and the McNeil Partners, L.P. interest in the Partnership. Actual amounts, including the estimate allocable to McNeil Partners, L.P., will vary with the performance of the Partnership and McNeil Partners, L.P. through the closing date. The above estimated merger consideration and special working capital distribution will be adjusted at closing to reflect the then working capital position of the Partnership. On the Closing Date, the General Partner of the Partnership, will receive an equity interest in Newco in exchange for its contribution to Newco of the general partnership interests in the Partnerships, the limited partnership interests in Fairfax Associates II L.P. and McNeil Summerhill Associates and the assets of McREMI. The Partnership's participation in the transaction is subject to, among other conditions, the approval by a majority of the limited partners of the Partnership. In some circumstances, as defined in the Master Agreement, the Partnerships may be subject to a break-up fee, up to an aggregate maximum of $18,000,000, if the Master Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more of the Partnerships. In the case of termination of the Master Agreement in these circumstances, each of the Partnerships with respect to which the Master Agreement has been terminated will be severally, but not jointly, liable for payment to Newco of its respective break-up fee. The break-up fee ratably calculated for the Partnership is $1,202,148. All previous costs associated with this transaction had been allocated among the Partnerships and McREMI based on the relative number of properties contained therein. On June 24, 1999, a fairness opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") was rendered by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., an independent financial advisor, to the effect that the aggregate consideration to be paid for the general partnership interests and limited partnership interests in all of the Partnerships and the assets of McREMI is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of each class of limited partnership. Based on the relative values as set forth in the Fairness Opinion, the Partnership recorded an adjustment to general and administrative expenses and accrued expenses during the second quarter of 1999 in the amount of $115,756 to reflect the reallocation of previously paid transaction costs among the Partnerships and McREMI. 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, 1999, the Partnership owned four apartment properties. Three of the Partnership's four properties are subject to mortgage notes. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - ------------------- On June 24, 1999, McNeil Partners, L.P. (the General Partner of the Partnership) and WXI/McN Realty L.L.C., an affiliate of Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership XI ("Whitehall"), a real estate investment fund managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co., announced that they have entered into a definitive acquisition agreement whereby the Whitehall affiliate will acquire by merger nineteen real estate limited partnerships operated by McNeil Partners, L.P. and Robert A. McNeil. The limited partnerships involved are the Partnership and McNeil Real Estate Funds IX, X, XI, XII, XIV, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI and XXVII, Hearth Hollow Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P., Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill (collectively, the "Partnerships"). The Partnerships (other than Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill which are wholly-owned by Robert A. McNeil and related parties) will be merged with subsidiaries of WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. The acquisition agreement also provides for the acquisition by WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. of the assets of McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"). The aggregate consideration in the transaction, including all outstanding mortgage debt of the Partnerships, is approximately $644,440,000. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the limited partners in each of the Partnerships (other than those wholly-owned by Robert A. McNeil) will receive cash on the closing date of the transaction in exchange for their limited partnership interests. In addition, each Partnership will make a special distribution to its limited partners on the closing date of the transaction equal to its then net positive working capital balance. McNeil Partners, L.P. will receive an equity interest in WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. in exchange for its contribution of its general partnership interests in the Partnerships, the limited partnership interests in its wholly-owned Partnerships and the assets of McREMI. The proposed transaction follows an extensive marketing effort by PaineWebber Incorporated, exclusive financial advisor to the Partnerships. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of McNeil Investors, Inc., the general partner of McNeil Partners, L.P., the general partner of each of the Partnerships other than Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill. The respective general partners of Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill also have approved the transaction. The Board of Directors of McNeil Investors based its approval upon, among other things, the recommendation of a Special Committee of the Board, appointed at the beginning of the discussions with Whitehall to represent the interests of holders of limited partnership interests in each of the Partnerships. In addition, the Special Committee and the Board relied upon fairness opinions given by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger & Co."), an independent financial advisor to the Partnerships, to the effect that the aggregate consideration is fair to the holders of each class of limited partnership interests in each of the Partnerships. The Special Committee's recommendation was also based upon the separate opinions of Eastdil Realty Company ("Eastdil"), the independent financial advisor to the Special Committee. Stanger & Co. and Eastdil have each also rendered an opinion that the aggregate consideration to be paid for the general partnership interests and limited partnership interests in all of the Partnerships and the assets of McREMI is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of each class of limited partnership interests in each of the Partnerships. Each of the Partnerships' participation in the transaction is subject to, among other conditions, the approval by a majority of the limited partners of the respective Partnerships. The approval of the limited partners of the Partnerships will be sought at meetings to be held in the coming months after the filing of proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the publicly traded Partnerships, and the subsequent mailing of proxy statements to the limited partners. Preliminary proxy statements were filed with the SEC on August 3, 1999 and amended proxy statements were filed September 30, 1999, October 21, 1999 and November 10, 1999. The aggregate consideration in the transaction has been allocated preliminarily among the general partnership interests and the limited partnership interests in each of the Partnerships and McREMI, based upon an allocation analysis prepared by Stanger & Co. and confirmed by Eastdil. Based upon this allocation analysis and the fairness opinions rendered by Stanger & Co. and Eastdil, the Special Committee, the Board of Directors of McNeil Investors, Inc., the respective general partners of Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill have each unanimously approved the allocation of the aggregate consideration. The estimated aggregate consideration and working capital distribution to be received per unit of limited partnership interest of the Partnership were estimated as $160. McNeil Partners, L.P. will contribute its real estate investment and management company business to a subsidiary of WXI/McN Realty, L.L.C., along with its general partnership interests in the Partnerships and its limited partnership interests in the wholly-owned Partnerships, having an aggregate allocated value, as determined by Stanger & Co., of approximately $58,640,000, of which approximately $29,400,000 reflects balances due to McNeil Partners, L.P. and McREMI as reflected on the Partnerships' financial statements as of March 31, 1999. The above estimates of the Partnership per unit estimated merger consideration and working capital distribution and the interest of McNeil Partners, L.P. are based upon, among other things, the balance sheet of the Partnership as of March 31, 1999, adjusted for intangible assets, non-cash liabilities, transaction expenses and the McNeil Partners, L.P. interest in the Partnership. Actual amounts, including the estimate allocable to McNeil Partners, L.P., will vary with the performance of the Partnership and McNeil Partners, L.P. through the closing date. The above estimated merger consideration and special working capital distribution will be adjusted at closing to reflect the then working capital position of the Partnership. Whitehall is a $2.26 billion equity fund and is the seventh in a series of funds sponsored and capitalized by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates, along with public and private investors, to acquire real estate worldwide. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Revenue: Partnership revenues increased by $36,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and increased $98,352 or 5% for the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same periods last year. Rental revenue increased by $40,265 and interest income decreased by $3,898 or 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental revenues can be attributed to a decrease in rental losses at Mountain Shadows Apartments. Expenses: Partnership expenses increased by $381,061 or 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and increased $99,757 or 5% for the three months ended September 30,1999, as compared to the same periods last year. Repair and maintenance expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $71,914 or 10% as compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is due to increases in grounds maintenance, make-ready, painting and supplies and floor covering. Most of these increased costs incurred at Mountain Shadows where the increased vacancy rate is forcing the Partnership to spend more to bring units to a market ready condition. General and administrative expenses increased $269,984 or 95% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is mainly due to increased costs incurred to explore alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership (see Recent Developments) and due to a $115,756 reallocation of previously paid transaction costs among the Partnerships and McREMI in the second quarter of 1999 (see Note 4). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership's primary source of cash flows is from operating activities which generated $1,327,130 of cash in the first nine months of 1999 as compared to $1,472,671 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $145,541 was mainly the result of an increase in cash paid to suppliers offset with an increase in cash received from tenants. The Partnership expended $336,665 and $418,732 for capital improvements to its properties in the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. Total principal payments on mortgage notes payable were $381,540 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $351,637 for the same period of 1998. The Partnership distributed $399,876 to the limited partners during 1999, while $749,797 was paid during 1998. The Partnership also paid MID in the amount of $42,350 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Short-term liquidity: At September 30, 1999, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $1,366,059, an increase of $166,699 from the balance at December 31, 1998. This balance provides a comfortable level of working capital for the Partnership's operations. During 1999, 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 1999, the Partnership has budgeted to spend approximately $408,000 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. See "Recent Developments" above. The Partnership placed Cedar Run Apartments on the market for sale on August 1, 1997. Income allocations and distributions: Terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement specify that income (loss) 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, 1999 and 1998, $27,901 and $(1,530), respectively, was allocated to the General Partner. The limited partners received allocations of $(525,587) and $(151,462) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During 1999, the limited partners received a cash distribution of $399,876. The distribution consisted of funds from operations. A distribution of $363,268 for the MID was accrued by the Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 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, 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 has assessed these risks and expects to have contingency plans in place by December 31, 1999 for any material potential failures. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ------- ----------------- 1) 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 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. ("McREMI") 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. 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. Because the settlement contemplated a transaction which included all of the Partnerships and plaintiffs claimed that an effort should be made to sell all of the Partnerships, in or around September 1998, plaintiffs filed a third consolidated and amended complaint which included allegations with respect to the Partnerships which had not been named in previously filed complaints. On September 15, 1998, the parties signed a Stipulation of Settlement. For purposes of settlement, the parties stipulated to a class comprised of all owners of limited partner units in the Partnerships during the period beginning June 21, 1991, the earliest date that proxy materials began to be issued in connection with the restructuring of the Partnerships, through September 15, 1998. As structured, the Stipulation of Settlement provided for the payment of over $35 million in distributions and the commitment to market the Partnerships for sale, together with McREMI, through a fair and impartial bidding process overseen by a national investment banking firm. To ensure the integrity of that process, defendants agreed, among other things, to involve plaintiffs' counsel in oversight of that process, and plaintiffs' counsel retained an independent advisor to represent the interests of limited partners of the Partnerships in the event of a transaction. The transaction described in Item 2 - Recent Developments is a result of that process. The settlement was not conditioned on the consummation of this transaction. On October 6, 1998, the court gave preliminary approval to the settlement. It granted final approval to the settlement on July 8, 1999 and entered a Final Order and Judgment dismissing the consolidated action with prejudice. As a condition of final approval, the court requested, and the parties agreed to, a slight modification of the release in the Stipulation of Settlement with respect to future claims. Plaintiffs' counsel intends to seek an order awarding attorneys' fees and reimbursing their out-of-pocket expenses in an amount which is as yet undetermined. 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. A Notice of Appeal was filed September 3, 1999 by High River Limited Partnership, Unicorn Associates Corporation and Longacre Corporation. 2) High River Limited Partnership, Unicorn Associates Corporation and Longacre Corporation, et al. v. McNeil Partners, L.P. ("MPLP"), McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. (McREMI"), Robert A. McNeil and Carole J. McNeil, - Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, - Index No. 99 603526. On July 23, 1999, High River and two other affiliates of Carl C. Icahn (Unicorn Associates Corporation and Longacre Corporation), filed a complaint for damages in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants improperly interfered with tender offers made by High River for limited partner units in the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in which MPLP serves as General Partner (the "McNeil Partnerships"), by, among other things, filing purportedly frivolous litigation to delay High River's offers, issuing purportedly false and misleading statements opposing the offers and purportedly forcing High River itself to file litigation to enforce its rights. High River also alleges that as a result the defendants caused High River to incur undue expense and that the defendants ultimately prevented High River from acquiring a greater number of limited partner units. Plaintiffs also allege that the defendants improperly excluded High River from participating in the auction process for the sale of the McNeil Partnerships, and otherwise took steps to prevent its participation in the auction. In addition, plaintiffs, who are limited partners in, among others, McNeil Funds IX, X, XI, XII, XIV, XV, XX, XXIV, XXV, XXVI and XXVII, have also sued the defendants based on their status as opt-outs from the Schofield settlement. Plaintiffs seek undisclosed damages and an accounting. On July 30, 1999, defendants filed an answer to the High River Complaint, denying each and every material allegation contained in the High River Complaint and asserting several affirmative defenses. Settlement negotiations are underway. ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K - ------ -------------------------------- (a) Exhibits.
