                                   (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1997

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
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 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 X, Ltd., 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 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:

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with
a $2,336,029  mortgage  note from an affiliate of the General  Partner.  The new
mortgage  note  bears  interest  at a  variable  rate equal to 1% plus the prime
lending rate of Bank of America and requires monthly  interest-only debt service
payments  until the  February  28, 2000  maturity  date.  Cash used to close the
refinancing transaction is as follows:

    New loan proceeds......................        $   2,336,029
    Existing debt retired..................           (2,373,955)

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 and the
lienholder  agreed  to 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:

The  Partnership  incurred  $166,403 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.

NOTE 6.
- -------

On October 1, 1996, the Partnership  placed Cave Spring Corners and Iberia Plaza
on the market for sale. Consequently,  these properties are shown as assets held
for  sale on the  accompanying  financial  statements.  In  accordance  with 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,"  the  Partnership   ceased  recording
depreciation charges on these properties effective October 1, 1996.

NOTE 7.
- -------

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.  The excess of cash
to be received over the basis of the property  destroyed in the fire resulted in
a $350,927 gain on involuntary conversion.

Because  only a part of the  insurance  proceeds  were  received by December 31,
1996, only $285,127 of the gain on involuntary  conversion was recognized on the
Partnership's  Statement of Operations  for the year ended December 31, 1996. As
of March 31,  1997,  the  remainder of the  insurance  proceeds had not yet been
received from the Partnership's  insurance carrier. The remainder of the gain is
shown as a $65,800  deferred gain on involuntary  conversion on the accompanying
financial  statements,  and will be recognized when the Partnership receives the
remainder of the insurance proceeds.


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  March  31,  1997,  the
Partnership  owned seven  apartment  properties,  one office  building and three
strip  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.

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

The Partnership  reported net income of $34,788 for the three month period ended
March 31,  1997,  down from net income of $285,334  reported for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996.  Included in net income for the 1996 first  quarter
was a $269,596  extraordinary  gain relating to the  refinancing  of the Spanish
Oaks mortgage note.  Excluding the extraordinary  gain, net income for the first
quarter of 1997 increased $19,050.

Revenues:

Rental revenue  decreased $51,282 or 1.3% for the first quarter of 1997 compared
to the first  quarter of 1996.  However,  the decrease was  attributable  to the
September 18, 1996 sale of Parkway Plaza to an unaffiliated purchaser. Excluding
the effects of the sale of Parkway Plaza, net rental revenue increased  $135,895
or 3.6% for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996.





<PAGE>
Considered as a group,  the  Partnership's  residential  properties  reported no
increase in rental  revenue for the quarter  ended March 31, 1997.  For the most
part,  increases in base rental rates were offset by increased  vacancy  losses.
Vacancy  losses  increased at all of the  Partnership's  residential  properties
except for Sandpiper  Apartments.  Soft markets  contributed to decreased rental
revenue at Briarwood  Apartments,  and Orchard Apartments,  while rental revenue
was unchanged at Coppermill Apartments. Rental revenue decreased 5.1% at Regency
Park  Apartments  due to  continuing  effects  of the  fire  that  destroyed  16
apartment  units at the property.  Rental  revenue  increased  modestly at Quail
Meadows Apartments and Spanish Oaks Apartments. Sandpiper Apartments continued a
pattern of strong performance with a 5.6% increase in rental revenue.

The Partnership's  commercial  properties  accounted for most of the increase in
rental revenue.  Rental rates improved  modestly at Cave Spring Corners,  Iberia
Plaza and Lakeview  Plaza,  while  occupancy rates improved to near 100% levels.
The largest  increase in rental  revenue,  however,  occurred at La Plaza Office
Building.  Rental revenue at the Las Vegas  property  increased 20% in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the year earlier quarter.  Rental rates increased at
La Plaza,  but most of the increase came from improving  occupancy.  The average
occupancy  rate  at La  Plaza  improved  to 85% for the  first  quarter  of 1997
compared to 75% for the first quarter of 1996.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses  decreased  $72,034 or 1.8% for the first  quarter of 1997
compared to the same quarter of 1996. As with rental revenues,  though,  most of
the  decrease  is  attributable  to the sale of Parkway  Plaza  during the third
quarter of 1996. Expenses for the Partnership's  remaining  properties increased
$42,642 or 1.1% in the first  quarter of 1997  compared to the first  quarter of
1996.  Increased  expenses were  concentrated  in interest  paid to  affiliates,
utilities,  and  general  and  administrative  expenses.  These  increases  were
partially  offset by  decreased  general  and  administrative  expenses  paid to
affiliates.

Interest paid to affiliates  nearly  doubled to $36,988 for the first quarter of
1997. The increase reflects the refinancing of the La Plaza mortgage note with a
$2,336,029 mortgage due to an affiliate of the General Partner.  The refinancing
occurred on February 28,  1997.  Because the  refinancing  paid-off the La Plaza
mortgage note, due to a  non-affiliated  entity,  the  refinancing  had the dual
effect of increasing  mortgage  interest due to affiliates  and  decreasing  the
interest expense on non-affiliated mortgage indebtedness.

Excluding the effects of Parkway Plaza,  utility expenses  increased  $62,914 or
21% to $367,696 for the first  quarter of 1997  compared to the first quarter of
1996. The increases were  concentrated  in gas and oil expenses,  especially for
Sandpiper  Apartments and Spanish Oaks Apartments,  and an increase in water and
sewer expenses, particularly at Coppermill Apartments.

General and  administrative  expenses increased $36,627 to $85,297 for the first
quarter of 1997. The Partnership  incurred  approximately  $20,000 of legal fees
relating to the payoff of the Spanish Oaks mortgage note.  Also during the first
quarter of 1997, the Partnership began incurring charges for investor  services,
which,  beginning in 1997,  are  provided by a third party vendor  instead of by
affiliates of the General Partner.





<PAGE>
The  increase in payments for  investor  services in general and  administrative
above also explains some of the $26,625  decrease in general and  administrative
expenses paid to affiliates. The Partnership is no longer reimbursing affiliates
for such charges. Payments to affiliates for general and administrative expenses
also decreased due to the sale of Parkway Plaza during 1996.

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

Cash flow  provided by operating  activities  decreased to $44,159 for the first
quarter of 1997 from  $766,685 for the first  quarter of 1996.  During the first
quarter  of  1997,  the  Partnership  repaid  all of  the  $779,993  balance  of
partnership administrative reimbursements outstanding at December 31, 1996. Such
expenses were deferred  beginning in 1995 to enable the  Partnership  to restore
its balance of cash reserves.  Decreased cash flow from operating  activities is
also attributable to the sale of Parkway Plaza during the third quarter of 1996.

The  Partnership  expended  $171,499 for capital  improvements  during the first
quarter of 1997, down  significantly from the $412,093 expended during the first
quarter of 1996.  However,  the Partnership has budgeted a total of $1.6 million
of capital  improvements  for 1997.  These  additions are needed to maintain the
competitiveness of the Partnership's  properties in their respective markets and
allow  the   Partnership  to  reduce  the  amount  of  repair  and   maintenance
expenditures that would otherwise be incurred.

On February  28,  1997,  the  Partnership  resolved the maturity of the La Plaza
mortgage note by refinancing  the La Plaza note with a three-year  mortgage note
from an affiliate of the General  Partner.  The new mortgage note bears interest
at a variable  rate equal to 1% plus the prime  lending rate of Bank of America.
Monthly  interest-only  debt service payments are required until the maturity of
the new mortgage note.

The  Partnership's  next  maturing  mortgage  notes are the Cave Spring  Corners
mortgage note and the Iberia Plaza mortgage note,  both of which mature in 1998.
The Partnership has placed both of these  properties on the market for sale, and
intends to use proceeds  from the sale of the  properties to retire the mortgage
notes.

Short-term liquidity:

At March 31, 1997, the  Partnership  held cash reserves of $2,241,325 a decrease
of  $419,354  from  the  balance  at  the  end of  1996.  Cash  reserves  of the
Partnership  have increased  significantly  from depressed  levels at the end of
1994.  The  increased  cash  reserves  of  the  Partnership   have  allowed  the
Partnership to resume payment of Partnership  administrative  reimbursements due
to affiliates of the General Partner.

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 1997 are expected to decrease
from the average amount expended in each of the past three fiscal years. For the
balance  of 1997,  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>
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the General Partner deferred  collection of the MID.
As of March 31, 1997,  approximately $2.98 million of deferred MID payments were
due to the General Partner.  The General Partner anticipates resuming payment of
MID if the Partnership's properties continue to perform as anticipated.

Long-term liquidity:

For the long-term,  property operations will remain the primary source of funds.
In this  regard,  the  General  Partner  expects  that the $7 million of capital
improvements  made by the  Partnership  during the past  three  years will yield
improved cash flow from  property  operations  in the future.  Furthermore,  the
General Partner has budgeted an additional $1.6 million of capital  improvements
for 1997. If the Partnership's cash position  deteriorates,  the General Partner
may elect to defer  certain  of the  capital  improvements,  except  where  such
improvements  are expected to increase the  competitiveness  or marketability of
the Partnership's properties.

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,  Cave
Spring Corners and Iberia Plaza on the market for sale.

On March 27, 1997, the  Partnership  entered into a contract to sell Cave Spring
Corners to an unaffiliated purchaser.  The sale is scheduled to close during the
third  quarter.  However,  the sale is  subject to  various  contingencies.  The
resolution of these  contingencies could affect the terms of the sales contract,
or could make  consummation  of the contract not in the best  interest of either
the Partnership or the prospective purchaser.

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 three month period ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, $1,739 and $14,267, respectively, were allocated to the
General  Partner.  The limited  partners  received  allocations of net income of
$33,049  and  $271,067  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 and 1996,
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.

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 (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.
