                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

                               September 30, 1996

NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a limited  partnership
organized  under the laws of the State of California to invest in real property.
The general  partner of the Partnership is McNeil  Partners,  L.P. (the "General
Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership, an affiliate of Robert A. McNeil. The
Partnership  is governed by an agreement of limited  partnership  (the  "Amended
Partnership Agreement") that was adopted October 9, 1991. The principal place of
business for the Partnership  and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road,  Suite
700, 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, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

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,  1995,  and the  notes  thereto,  as  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  which is available upon request by writing
to McNeil  Real Estate Fund X, Ltd.,  c/o McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.,
Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
- -------

Certain prior period amounts within the accompanying  financial  statements have
been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

NOTE 4.
- -------

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts of the Partnership's properties to McNeil Real Estate Management,  Inc.
("McREMI"),  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner,  for  providing  property
management services for the Partnership's  residential and commercial properties
and leasing services for its residential  properties.  McREMI may also choose to
provide leasing services for the Partnership's  commercial 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.

<PAGE>

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 for residential  property
and $50 per gross square foot for commercial  property to arrive at the property
tangible  asset value.  The property  tangible  asset value is then added to the
book value of all other assets excluding intangible items.

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  (the  "Entitlement
Amount"),  and may be paid (i) in cash, unless there is insufficient cash to pay
the  distribution  in which event any unpaid  portion not taken in Units will be
deferred and is payable,  without interest, from the first available cash and/or
(ii) in Units.  A maximum of 50% of the MID may be paid in Units.  The number of
Units  issued in payment  of the MID is based on the  greater of $50 per Unit or
the net tangible asset value, as defined, per Unit.

Any  amount  of the MID that is paid to the  General  Partner  in Units  will be
treated as if cash is distributed to the General Partner and is then contributed
to the Partnership by the General Partner. The MID represents a return of equity
to the General Partner for increasing cash flow, as defined,  and accordingly is
treated as a distribution.

Compensation,  reimbursements  and  distributions  paid  to or  accrued  for the
benefit of the General Partner and its affiliates are as follows:

NOTE 5.

On January 26, 1996, the Partnership  refinanced the Spanish Oaks mortgage note.
The new mortgage  note, in the amount of  $4,000,000,  bears  interest at 7.71%,
requires  monthly  principal  and interest  payments of $28,546,  and matures on
January 26, 2003. In connection with the refinancing, the Partnership negotiated
a  discounted  payoff of the prior  mortgage  note that  resulted  in a $269,596
extraordinary  gain on  extinguishment  of  debt.  The  remainder  of the  prior
mortgage note balance has been placed in escrow pending negotiations  concerning
the amount of the payoff of the prior  mortgage  note.  Cash  proceeds  from the
refinancing transaction are as follows:

       New loan proceeds...............           $  4,000,000
       Existing debt retired...........             (3,524,225)

                                                   ===========

The  Partnership  incurred  $154,007 of deferred  borrowing costs related to the
refinancing of the Spanish Oaks mortgage note. The Partnership was also required
to fund $165,291 into various escrows for property taxes,  hazard  insurance and
deferred maintenance.

On March 31, 1996, a fire  destroyed or damaged 16 units and 2 laundry  rooms at
Regency Park Apartments.  The total cost to repair the fire damage was $530,148.
The Partnership's insurance carrier will reimburse the Partnership for all costs
incurred  as a  result  of the  fire  less a  standard  deductible.  A  deferred
involuntary  conversion gain of $350,927 has been recorded on the  Partnership's
September  30, 1996 Balance  Sheet.  The deferred  involuntary  conversion  gain
equals the insurance proceeds receivable less the adjusted basis of the property
destroyed or damaged by the fire. The deferred involuntary  conversion gain will
be  recognized as the insurance  proceeds are  received.  Reconstruction  of the
destroyed or damaged units was completed during the third quarter of 1996.

In 1996, the  Partnership  adopted the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board's
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of."
This statement  requires the cessation of  depreciation on assets held for sale.
Parkway Plaza was placed on the market for sale in 1995. No depreciation charges
on Parkway Plaza have been incurred in 1996.

The  Partnership  placed Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia Plaza on the market for
sale effective October 1, 1996. Consequently,  the Partnership's  investments in
Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia Plaza are  classified as assets held for sale on
the Partnership's September 30, 1996 Balance Sheet. No further depreciation will
be charged on Cave Spring Corners or Iberia Plaza effective October 1, 1996.

The  Partnership  filed claims with the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Northern  District of Texas,  Dallas Division (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") against
Southmark for damages relating to improper  overcharges,  breach of contract and
breach of fiduciary duty. The Partnership settled these claims in 1991, and such
settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

An Order Granting  Motion to Distribute  Funds to Class 8 Claimants  dated April
14, 1995 was issued by the Bankruptcy  Court.  In accordance  with the Order, in
May 1995, the Partnership  received in full satisfaction of its claims,  $69,234
in cash, and common and preferred stock in the reorganized  Southmark.  The cash
and  stock  represent  the  Partnership's  pro-rata  share of  Southmark  assets
available for Class 8 Claimants.  The Partnership  sold the Southmark common and
preferred  stock in May 1995 for  $22,283  which,  when  combined  with the cash
proceeds  from  Southmark,  resulted in a gain on  settlement  of  litigation of
$91,517.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- -------  ---------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The  Partnership  was formed to  acquire,  operate and  ultimately  dispose of a
portfolio  of  income-producing  real  properties.  At September  30, 1996,  the
Partnership  owned seven  apartment  properties,  one office  building and three
shopping centers.  All of the  Partnership's  properties are subject to mortgage
notes. On September 18, 1996, the Partnership sold Parkway Plaza Shopping Center
to an unaffiliated purchaser.  The Partnership recognized a $275,424 gain on the
disposition.  Cash proceed to the Partnership amounted to $283,585. On September
14,  1995,  the  Partnership  sold  The  Courts  Apartments  to an  unaffiliated
purchaser. The Partnership recognized a $3,183,698 gain on the disposition. Cash
proceeds to the Partnership amounted to $1,289,573.




<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The Partnership reported net income of $335,152 and $685,301 for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996.  Included in net income for the
quarters ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995 are gains on the disposition of real
estate of totaling $275,424 and $3,183,698,  respectively. The 1996 gain relates
to the sale of Parkway  Plaza.  The 1995 gain  relates to the sale of The Courts
Apartments.  Also  included in the net income for the current year is a $269,596
extraordinary  gain  relating to the  refinancing  of the Spanish Oaks  mortgage
note.  Excluding the gains on disposition  of real estate and the  extraordinary
gain, net income for the three month and nine month periods  increased  $690,605
and $1,129,925 over net income reported for the comparable year-earlier periods.

Revenues:

Although  rental  revenue  decreased in 1996 compared to 1995,  the decrease was
attributable to the sale of The Courts  Apartments on September 14, 1995.  After
excluding  rental  revenue  attributable  to The Courts  Apartments  and Parkway
Plaza, the Partnership  reported increases in rental revenue of $110,239 or 2.8%
and $350,420 or 3.0% for the three month and nine month periods ended  September
30, 1996 compared to the same periods of 1995.

Rental  revenue  increased  at seven  of the  Partnership's  eleven  properties:
Particularly  noteworthy  were the 13.6%  increase in rental revenue at La Plaza
Office  Building  and the 8.6%  increase  in  rental  revenue  at Quail  Meadows
Apartments. The increased rental revenue at these two properties is attributable
to  increased  occupancy  rates at the  properties.  The other  properties  that
increased  rental  revenue  did  so  increasing  rental  rates  charged  at  the
properties  while  maintaining  or  improving  their  occupancy  rates.  Of  the
remaining four Partnership properties,  rental revenue was unchanged Cave Spring
Corners in 1996  compared  to 1995,  rental  losses at Regency  Park  Apartments
doubled in 1996 due to the March 31, 1996 fire that destroyed 16 apartment units
at the  property,  and  rental  revenue  decreased  3.5% and  3.8% at  Briarwood
Apartments and Lakeview Plaza, respectively, due to decreased occupancy rates.

Expenses:

Excluding  those expenses  attributable  to The Courts  Apartments,  Partnership
expenses decreased $548,770 or 4.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to the same period of 1995.  Every expense  category  decreased in 1996
except for  property  management  fees,  which  increase  in tandem  with rental
revenues,  and other property operating  expenses,  which increased 0.4%. All of
the  decreases  were small with the  exception  of  general  and  administrative
expenses, and general and administrative expenses paid to affiliates.  These two
items decreased 41% and 33%, respectively.

General and administrative expenses decreased $125,910 in 1996 compared to 1995.
The Partnership or 40.7% over general and  administrative  expenses  incurred in
1995. In 1995,  the  Partnership  incurred  $197,349 of expenses  related to the
evaluation  and  dissemination  of  information  with regards to an  unsolicited
tender offer.  Only $49,621 of such expenses have been incurred to date in 1996.
However, the Partnership expects to incur significant additional expenses during
the fourth quarter related to an additional unsolicited tender offer. See Item 5
- - Other Information.



<PAGE>

General and  administrative  expenses paid to affiliates  decreased  $162,243 in
1996  compared  to  1995.  The  decrease  represents  both  a  reduction  in the
Partnership's share of such expenses,  due to the sale of The Courts Apartments,
and a reduction  in the level of such  expenses  charged to the  Partnership  by
affiliates of the General Partner.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Cash  flow  provided  by  operating  activities  decreased  to  $2,122,340  from
$3,206,072  for the  first  nine  months of 1996.  Cash  received  from  tenants
decreased  $927,055  or 7.2%  due to the  sale  of The  Courts  Apartments.  The
refinancing  of the Spanish Oaks mortgage note accounts for much of the $237,399
increase in property taxes paid and escrowed.  The  Partnership  was required to
fund an escrow  account  for the  payment of  property  taxes for  Spanish  Oaks
Apartments;  no such escrow  account was  required  under terms of the  previous
mortgage note.

Additions to real estate investments increased $152,000 in the first nine months
of  1996  compared  to  the  same  period  of  1995.  However,  $530,148  of the
improvements  relate to unbudgeted  expenditures to repair and refurbish  damage
related to the March 31, 1996 fire at Regency Park  Apartments.  The Partnership
expects to receive a refund of approximately $526,000 from its insurance carrier
related  to  the  fire  damage.   In  addition  to  cash  expended  for  capital
improvements,  the Partnership  received $2,828,051 in proceeds from the sale of
Parkway Plaza, before repayment of the related mortgage debt.

Financing  activities  include the  $2,544,466  retirement  of the Parkway Plaza
mortgage note due to the sale of the property.  In addition to the retirement of
the Parkway Plaza mortgage note, the  Partnership  repaid  $667,669  against its
other mortgage notes through regularly  scheduled monthly debt service payments.
The Partnership  also received  $475,775 of net proceeds from the refinancing of
the Spanish Oaks  mortgage  note in January,  1996.  Related to the Spanish Oaks
mortgage  refinancing,  in  1996  the  Partnership  paid  $112,241  of  deferred
borrowing costs to obtain the new Spanish Oaks mortgage note.

Short-term liquidity:

At September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  held cash reserves of  $2,058,796,  an
increase of $245,202  from the balance at the end of 1995.  Cash reserves of the
Partnership  have increased  significantly  from depressed  levels at the end of
1994.  The  General  Partner  is  continuing  to  take  steps  to  increase  the
Partnership's  liquidity.  Some of these steps are  discussed  in the  following
paragraphs.

Over the past three years,  the  Partnership has invested large amounts of funds
in capital  improvements at the Partnership's  properties.  Although significant
challenges remain,  total capital expenditures for 1996 are expected to decrease
from the average amount expended in each of the past three fiscal years. For the
balance  of 1996,  the  largest  capital  projects  of the  Partnership  will be
concentrated at La Plaza Office Building as the property undergoes refurbishment
to allow it to take advantage of a strong Las Vegas market.






<PAGE>

As a further source of funds,  the  Partnership  may obtain  secondary  mortgage
financing from an affiliated  partnership  secured by La Plaza Office  Building.
Placing a second  lien on La Plaza  would  require  the  approval of the current
first lien  holder,  and must also comply with loan  criteria of the  affiliated
partnership.  Proceeds  from such a mortgage loan could range from $1 million to
$1.5  million,  if  approvals  are  obtained  from the first lien holder and the
affiliated partnership.

Beginning  in  March,   the   Partnership   resumed   payment  of   reimbursable
administrative  expenses to affiliates of the General Partner. Such payments had
been  suspended  since the  beginning of 1994.  The General  Partner  expects to
resume  MID  payments  in 1996,  if the  Partnership  continues  to  perform  as
anticipated. MID incurred but not paid for the first nine months of 1996 totaled
$785,526.

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.  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. There is no assurance that support from
affiliates  would be provided in the future,  since neither the General  Partner
nor any affiliates have any obligation in this regard.

The  Partnership  has  determined  to begin an  orderly  liquidation  of all the
Partnership's assets. Although there can be no assurance as to the timing of any
liquidation,   it  is  anticipated  that  such   liquidation   would  result  in
distributions  to the limited partners of the cash proceeds from the sale of the
Partnership's properties, subject to cash reserve requirements, as they are sold
with  the  last  property  disposition  before  December  2001,  followed  by  a
dissolution of the  Partnership.  In this regard,  the Partnership  sold Parkway
Plaza on September  18, 1996,  and has placed two  additional  properties on the
market for sale.

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 95:5 to the limited partners and
the General Partner,  respectively.  Therefore, for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, $34,265 and 109,703,  respectively,  were allocated
to the General Partner.  The limited partners received allocations of net income
of $651,036  and  $2,084,351  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

With the exception of the MID,  distributions  to partners  have been  suspended
since 1986 as part of the General Partner's policy of maintaining  adequate cash
reserves.   Distributions   to  Unit  holders  will  remain  suspended  for  the
foreseeable  future.  Payments of MID have been suspended since the beginning of
1994. The General Partner will continue to monitor the cash reserves and working
capital  needs of the  Partnership  to  determine  when cash flows will  support
payments of MID and distributions to the Unit holders.
