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 XXVII, L.P. Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 1997 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. - ------- McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as Southmark Prime Plus, L.P., was organized by affiliates of Southmark Corporation ("Southmark") on January 16, 1987, as a limited partnership under the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to make short-term loans to affiliates of the general partner. 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 principal place of business for the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75240. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. However, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996, and the notes thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available upon request by writing to McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P., c/o The Herman Group, 2121 San Jacinto St., 26th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201. NOTE 3. - ------- The Partnership pays property management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental receipts for its mini-storage warehouses and 6% of gross rental receipts for its commercial properties to McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), an affiliate of the General Partner, for providing property management services for the Partnership's mini-storage warehouses and commercial properties and leasing services for its mini-storage warehouses. McREMI may also choose to provide leasing services for the Partnership's commercial properties, in which case McREMI will receive property management fees from such commercial properties equal to 3% of the property's gross rental receipts plus leasing commissions based on the prevailing market rate for such services where the property is located. The Partnership reimburses McREMI for its costs, including overhead, of administering the Partnership's affairs. The Partnership is paying an asset management fee, which is payable 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% to the annualized net operating income of each property or (ii) a value of $30 per gross square foot for mini-storage warehouses and $50 per gross square foot for commercial properties 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: Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------------ 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Property management fees..................... $ 113,922 $ 106,043 Charged to general and administrative - affiliates: Partnership administration................ 63,254 88,747 Asset management fee...................... 144,929 137,205 --------- --------- $ 322,105 $ 331,995 ========= ========= Under the terms of its amended partnership agreement, the Partnership is expressly permitted to make loans to affiliates of the General Partner, so long as such loans meet certain conditions, including that such loans bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2.5%, or prime plus 3.5% if the loan is junior to other indebtedness. These loans are secured by income-producing real estate and may be either junior or senior to other indebtedness secured by such property. The Partnership made loans to affiliates of $2,336,029 during the first three months of 1997 and received repayments from affiliates of $952,538 during the first three months of 1996. In order to induce the Partnership to lend funds to affiliates of the General Partner, the General Partner agreed to pay (i) the difference between the interest rate required by the Partnership's amended partnership agreement to be charged to affiliates and the interest rate actually paid by certain of those affiliates, and (ii) all points (1.5% or 2% if the loan is junior to other indebtedness), closing costs and expenses. The Partnership recorded interest income on affiliate loans of $183,323 and $38,959 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of which $57,442 and $6,794, respectively, was paid or payable by the General Partner. Payable to affiliates at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 consisted primarily of a performance incentive fee of $141,647 accrued in prior years, Partnership general and administrative expenses, asset management fees and prepaid interest. Except for the performance incentive fee and prepaid interest, all accrued fees are due and payable from current operations. NOTE 4. - ------- On February 28, 1997, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of approximately $2.336 million to McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd. ("Fund X"), at an interest rate of prime plus 1% per annum (the maximum rate allowed to be incurred by Fund X in connection with borrowings from affiliates pursuant to Fund X's partnership agreement). In 1997, $2,336,029 was borrowed by Fund X pursuant to this commitment, which was drawn by the Partnership from its revolving line of credit. This loan is secured by a first lien on La Plaza Business Center located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Interest on the loan is payable monthly, with principal payable in February 2000. NOTE 5. - ------- On March 21, 1996, the mortgage loan investment, plus accrued interest, secured by A-Quality Mini-Storage, was repaid in full by the borrower. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- There has been no significant change in the operations of the Partnership's properties since December 31, 1996. The Partnership reported net income for the first three months of 1997 of $622,546 as compared to $581,618 for the first three months of 1996. Revenues were $2,310,902 for the first three months of 1997, up from $2,142,820 for the same period in 1996. Expenses were $1,688,356 in 1997 as compared to $1,561,202 in 1996. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,263,557 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Partnership received $2,336,029 from its line of credit agreement, which it loaned to an affiliate of the General Partner. In addition, the Partnership expended $112,614 for capital improvements, $85,197 for the repurchase of limited partnership units (net of a decrease in cash segregated for the repurchase of limited partnership units) and distributed $1,999,970 to the limited partners, resulting in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $934,224 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Revenue: Total revenue increased by $168,082 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior year, as discussed below. Rental revenue increased by $153,262 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to decreased discounts and concessions given to tenants at One Corporate Center I and III office buildings and increased occupancy from 96% and 91%, respectively, at March 31, 1996 to 98% and 97%, respectively, at March 31, 1997. Interest income on the Partnership's mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated borrower (the A-Quality Mini-Storage loan) totaled $85,285 for the first three months of 1996. No such interest income was recorded in 1997 as the loan was repaid in 1996. Interest income on mortgage loans investments - affiliates increased by $144,364 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was the result of higher total loans outstanding in 1997. The Partnership had $7.0 million of loans outstanding at March 31, 1997 as compared to $1.3 million at March 31, 1996. Other interest income decreased by $44,259 for the first three months of 1997, due to the Partnership holding a lower amount of cash available for short-term investment in the first quarter of 1997. The Partnership held $2.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997 as compared to $6.2 million at March 31, 1996. Expenses: Total expenses increased by $127,154 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior year, as discussed below. Interest expense increased by $36,615 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 in relation to the respective period in the prior year. The interest expense recorded in the first quarter of 1996 represents amortization of deferred borrowing costs incurred in connection with obtaining a $5 million line of credit. The interest expense recorded in 1997 includes amortization of deferred borrowing costs as well as interest expense incurred on borrowings under the line of credit agreement. The Partnership had borrowed $3.4 million under the agreement at March 31, 1997. Property tax expense for the first three months of 1997 increased by $35,670 as compared to the first three months of 1996. The increase was due to an increase in the assessed taxable value of One Corporate Center I and III office buildings by taxing authorities. Repairs and maintenance expense increased by $35,546 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the respective quarter in 1996. The increase was mainly due to increased costs of snow removal at One Corporate Center I and III as a result of a greater amount of snowfall in Minnesota where the office buildings are located. Other property operating expenses for the first three months of 1997 increased by $16,948 as compared to the first three months of the prior year. The increase was partially due to $9,500 of expenses incurred in 1997 to settle minor legal issues at Burbank and Margate mini-storages. In addition, there was an increase in the write-off of uncollectible rents at several of the mini-storage warehouses in 1997. General and administrative expenses increased by $8,414 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Costs incurred for investor services were paid to an unrelated third party in 1997. In the first quarter of 1996, such costs were paid to an affiliate of the General Partner and were included in general and administrative - affiliates on the Statements of Operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Partnership generated $1,263,557 of cash through operating activities in the first three months of 1997 as compared to $1,315,500 for the same period in 1996. The Partnership received $1,361,771 of principal on its mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated borrower in the first quarter of 1996. The balance of the mortgage loan investment was repaid in full by the borrower in 1996. In the first three months of 1997, the Partnership received $2,336,029 from its line of credit agreement, which it loaned to an affiliate of the General Partner. The Partnership received $952,538 in repayments of loans to affiliates in the first three months of 1996. The Partnership distributed $1,999,970 and $2,999,997 to the limited partners in the first three months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Short-term liquidity: At March 31, 1997, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $2,088,627. This balance provides a reasonable level of working capital for the Partnership's immediate needs in operating its properties. For the Partnership as a whole, management projects positive cash flow from operations in 1997. The Partnership has budgeted approximately $800,000 for necessary capital improvements for all properties in 1997 which is expected to be funded from available cash reserves or from operations of the properties. The $5 million revolving credit agreement expires in June 1997. The lender has verbally indicated a willingness to extend the loan for one year upon the written request by the Partnership in accordance with the line of credit agreement. Long-term liquidity: 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. The Partnership acquired a $5 million line of credit in 1995 that may be used for property operations. Other possible actions to resolve cash deficiencies include 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. 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. 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 the limited partners by December 1999.

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. Plaintiffs have until May 27, 1997 to file a second amended complaint, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. ITEM 6.
