                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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.

On August 1, 1994,  the  Partnership  obtained a mortgage  loan from McNeil Real
Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. ("Fund XXVII"), an affiliate of the General Partner, for
$800,000. The mortgage loan is secured by a second lien on Lakeview Plaza. Terms
of the mortgage loan require monthly  interest-only  payments equal to the prime
lending rate of Bank of America plus 1% with the principal balance due August 1,
1997.  Effective  August 1,  1997,  Fund XXVII  reconveyed  the lien back to the
Partnership  in  consideration  of the  additional  borrowing  discussed  in the
following paragraph.

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with
a $2,336,029  mortgage  loan from Fund XXVII.  See Note 5.  Effective  August 1,
1997,  the  Partnership  borrowed an additional  $800,000  from Fund XXVII.  The
refinancing and the additional borrowing are jointly secured by a single lien on
La Plaza Office Building. Payment terms for the mortgage note and the additional
borrowing  require  monthly  interest-only  payments  equal to 1% plus the prime
lending  rate of Bank of  America.  The new  mortgage  note,  together  with the
additional borrowing, is due February 28, 2000.

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 Fund XXVII, 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:

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
prior lienholder  agreed to a discounted  payoff of the prior mortgage note that
resulted in a $803,360 extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt. $269,596 of
the  extraordinary  gain was  recognized  during the first quarter of 1996.  The
remaining  $533,764 of the  extraordinary  gain was recognized during the second
quarter  of 1997 after  negotiations  concerning  the amount of the payoff  were
completed. Cash proceeds from the refinancing transaction are as follows:

  New loan proceeds............................         $   4,000,000

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 7.
- -------

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. Cave Spring
Corners was sold June 5, 1997 (see Note 4).

NOTE 8.
- -------

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. The
remainder of the insurance  proceeds were received  during the second quarter of
1997, at which time the remaining gain of $65,800 was recognized.


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 June 30, 1997, the Partnership
owned seven  apartment  properties,  one office  building and two 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 proceeds to the Partnership amounted to $283,585.  On June 5,
1997, the Partnership sold Cave Springs Plaza to an unaffiliated purchaser.  The
Partnership recognized a $2,912,440 gain on the disposition.  Cash proceeds from
the  sale  amounted  to $2,175,892 from  the sale. Currently, the Partnership is
marketing Iberia Plaza for sale.





<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The  Partnership  reported net income of $3,725,993  for the first six months of
1997, an increase of $3,395,844 from the net income of $330,149 reported for the
first six months of 1996. Net income for the second quarter increased $3,646,390
to $3,691,205.  Included in net income for the quarter and six months ended June
30,  1997 is a  $2,912,440  gain  from the  sale of Cave  Spring  Corners.  Also
included  in net  income for both 1997 and 1996 are  extraordinary  gains on the
extinguishment  of debt relating to the refinancing of the Spanish Oaks mortgage
debt.  These gains  amounted to $533,764  and  $269,596 for the six months ended
June  30,  1997  and  1996,  respectively.  Excluding  the  gain on sale and the
extraordinary  gains,  Partnership income increased $219,236 to $279,789 for the
first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996.

Revenues:

Rental  revenue  decreased  $156,573 or 2.0% for the first six months of 1997 as
compared  to the same  period  of 1996.  The  decrease  is  attributable  to the
September 18, 1996 sale of Parkway  Plaza.  Excluding the effects of the sale of
Parkway  Plaza,  rental  revenues  increased  $209,790 or 2.7% for the first six
months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996.

Considered as a group,  the  Partnership's  residential  properties  reported no
significant increase in rental revenue for the first six months of 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, Orchard Apartments and Spanish
Oaks Apartments,  while rental revenue was unchanged at Regency Park Apartments.
Rental  revenue  increased  modestly at Coppermill  Apartments and Quail Meadows
Apartments and Spanish Oaks Apartments. Sandpiper Apartments continued a pattern
of strong performance with a 4.9% increase in rental revenue.

The Partnership's  commercial properties reported the most improvement in rental
revenue.  Rental rates  improved  modestly at 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  14.5%  for the  first six  months of 1997 as
compared to the same period of 1996.  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% at June 30, 1997,  up from 77% at the  beginning of
1996.

Expenses:

Partnership expenses decreased $282,484 or 3.5% for the first six months of 1997
as  compared to the same period of 1996.  As with rental  revenues,  most of the
decrease is  attributable  to the sale of Parkway Plaza during the third quarter
of 1996.  However,  the  Partnership's  expenses  decreased  $56,420  even after
excluding  expenses  attributable  to  Parkway  Plaza.  Decreased  expenses  for
depreciation  and general and  administrative  expenses paid to affiliates  were
mostly offset by increased  utilities,  interest paid to affiliates  and general
and administrative expenses.





<PAGE>

Interest  paid to  affiliates  increased  $73,954 to $111,575  for the first six
months of 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996. 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 by a total of $132,039.

Excluding the effects of Parkway Plaza,  utility expenses  increased  $49,791 or
8.3% to $367,696 for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period
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 $42,368 to $148,670 for the first
six months of 1997. The Partnership incurred  approximately  $30,000 of fees and
costs to settle a legal dispute (see Item 1 - Legal  Proceedings).  In addition,
beginning  in 1997,  the  Partnership  incurred  $15,599 of charges for investor
services provided by a third party vendor which, prior to 1997, were provided by
affiliates  of the General  Partner.  The change from  affiliate  to third party
vendor  for  investor  relation  services  also  accounts  for part of the 19.9%
decrease in general and administrative expenses paid by affiliates.  Payments to
affiliates  for general and  administrative  expenses also  decreased due to the
sale of Parkway Plaza during 1996 and due to decreased  charges from  affiliates
generally.

Depreciation  expense decreased $98,028 or 6.0% for the first six months of 1997
as  compared  to  the  same  period  of  1996.  In  accordance  with  accounting
principles,  the Partnership  ceased  depreciating its investment in Cave Spring
Corners  and Iberia  Plaza after the  October 1, 1996  decision to market  those
properties for sale.

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

Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased to $1,153,415 for the first
six months of 1997 from  $1,719,031 for the same period of 1996. For the current
year, payments to affiliates have increased to $1,326,555 from $561,680 in 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 $505,246 for capital improvements during the first six
months of 1997, down  significantly  from the $844,397  expended during the same
period of 1996. 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.





<PAGE>
On February  28,  1997,  the  Partnership  resolved the maturity of the La Plaza
mortgage note by refinancing  the La Plaza note with a $2,336,029  mortgage note
obtained 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 on February 28,  2000.  Effective  August 1,
1997,  the  Partnership  modified  the  mortgage  note to include an  additional
$800,000 of borrowings.  The $800,000 additional borrowing was used to repay the
$800,000 second mortgage note on Lakeview Plaza which matured on August 1, 1997.
All other terms of the La Plaza mortgage note remain the same.

The Partnership's  next maturing mortgage note is the Iberia Plaza mortgage note
which matures in 1998. The Partnership has placed Iberia Plaza on the market for
sale,  and intends to use  proceeds  from the sale of the property to retire the
mortgage note.

Short-term liquidity:

At June 30, 1997, the  Partnership  held cash reserves of $5,503,492 an increase
of  $2,842,813  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.

During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the General Partner deferred  collection of the MID.
As of June 30, 1997,  approximately  $3.18 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,  sold Cave Spring  Corners on June 5, 1997, and has
placed Iberia Plaza on the market for sale.
<PAGE>

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 six month period ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996,  $186,300 and $16,507,  respectively,  were allocated to
the General Partner.  The limited partners received allocations of net income of
$3,539,693  and  $313,642  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  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.

1.     James F. Schofield,  Gerald   C.  Gillett,   Donna  S.   Gillett, Jeffrey

       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.



<PAGE>
       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.

2.     The First National Bank of  Chicago,  as  Trustee   Under   That  Certain
       Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement  Dated as of  December  1,  1995,  for
       Resolution   Trust   Corporation    Commercial   Mortgage    Pass-Through
       Certificates,  Series 1995-C2 v. McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd.,  McNeil
       Partners, L.P. and McNeil Investors, Inc. - U.S. District Court, Northern
       District of Dallas, Dallas Division; Civil Action No. 33-96CV3198-D;  and
       District Court,  Dallas County,  Texas, F-116 th Judicial District;  Case
       No.: 96-13066(P96014).

       The  Plaintiffs  are the  holder  of a  certain  Second  Lien  Wraparound
       Promissory  Note   ("Wraparound   Note")  secured  by  the  Spanish  Oaks
       Apartments. This action involves a dispute of the principal payoff amount
       on the Wraparound Note. The Plaintiffs contend that the payoff balance is
       $3,399,592; however, the Partnership has calculated the payoff balance to
       be  significantly  less. On January 26, 1996, the Partnership  refinanced
       the Spanish Oaks  Apartments.  At that time,  the $3,399,592 was escrowed
       with the American  Title Company.  The Plaintiffs  claim that pursuant to
       the  terms of the  Wraparound  Note,  the  Partnership  owes  the  entire
       escrowed balance.  The parties have been ordered to mediation before July
       28, 1997. However,  settlement was reached in this matter with $3,046,000
       being paid to the Plaintiffs.  A Compromise and Settlement  Agreement and
       Release  dated June 26, 1997 has been signed by all parties.  An Order of
       Dismissal with prejudice is to be entered by the Judge.

       d/b/a Briarwood Apartments; ABC Corporations,  XYZ Partnerships (Employee
       Discrimination-EEOC (Sex) - Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and
       for the County of Pima; Case No. C 314017 (L96009).

       The Plaintiff, a former property  manager  for   the Partnership, filed a
       complaint  alleging that she was wrongfully  terminated from her position
       in violation of the Arizona Civil Rights Act. The Partnership claims that
       Plaintiff's  termination  was a proper business  decision  resulting from
       serious  concerns  about  the  property's   management.   After  numerous
       discussions,  the parties agreed to a monetary  settlement.  A Settlement
       Agreement and Release of All Claims was signed on May 22, 1997. The Judge
       entered an Order on May 22, 1997, dismissing the case with prejudice.
