                               September 30, 1998


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 nine months ended September 30, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

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,  1997,  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 600, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240.

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,  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  an $800,000  mortgage  loan from
McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. ("Fund XXVII"),  an affiliate of the General
Partner. The mortgage note was secured by a second lien on Lakeview Plaza. Terms
of the mortgage note required  monthly  interest-only  payments equal to 1% plus
the prime lending rate of Bank of America 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 4.  Effective  August 1,
1997,  the new La Plaza  mortgage  note was  amended to increase  the  principal
amount by $800,000.  The Partnership used the $800,000  additional  borrowing to
repay the Lakeview  second  mortgage  note that was also due to Fund XXVII.  The
refinancing and the additional borrowing were both secured by a lien on La Plaza
Office  Building.  Payment  terms  for the  mortgage  note  and  the  additional
borrowing  required  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, was to mature on February 28, 2000.

On June 18, 1998, the  Partnership  refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note due to
Fund XXVII with a $3,785,000 mortgage note from an unaffiliated lender. See Note

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with
a $2,336,029 mortgage note from Fund XXVII. The mortgage note carried a variable
interest  rate equal to 1% plus the prime  lending  rate of Bank of America  and
required monthly interest-only debt service payments until the February 28, 2000
maturity date.
Cash used to close the refinancing transaction is shown below.

On August 1, 1997,  the new La Plaza  mortgage  note was amended to increase the
principal  amount by $800,000.  The  Partnership  used the  $800,000  additional

On June 18, 1998, the  Partnership  refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with a
$3,785,000 mortgage note from an unaffiliated lender.  However,  only $3,185,000
of the mortgage note has been funded by the lender.  The  remaining  $600,000 of
loan proceeds will be funded to the  Partnership  as required for the completion
of tenant improvements at La Plaza Office Building,  if such tenant improvements
are needed to induce prospective or current tenants to lease or release space at
the  property.  Proceeds  from the new  mortgage  note were  used to retire  the
mortgage note and  additional  borrowing  due to Fund XXVII  discussed in Note 4
above.  The  outstanding  balance of the new mortgage  note bears  interest at a
variable rate equal to 1.75% plus the London  Interbank  Offered Rate per annum.
The new mortgage  note  requires  monthly  interest-only  payments and quarterly
principal payments in an amount necessary to reduce the principal balance of the
note by 5% annually.  The  maturity of the new  mortgage  note is June 18, 2001.
Cash proceeds from the refinancing transaction are as follows:

On January 26, 1996, the Partnership  refinanced the Spanish Oaks mortgage note.
In connection with the  refinancing,  the  Partnership and the prior  lienholder
agreed to a discounted  payoff of the prior  mortgage  note that  resulted in an
$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

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  reimbursed the Partnership for all costs
incurred as a result of the fire less a standard deductible.  The excess of cash
received  over the basis of the  property  destroyed  in the fire  resulted in a
$350,927 gain on involuntary conversion.

Because only 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  gain was  shown as a  $65,800  deferred  gain on  involuntary
conversion on the  Partnership's  December 31, 1996 Balance  Sheet.  The $65,800
deferred  gain was  recognized  during the  second  quarter of 1997 as a gain on
involuntary  conversion when the Partnership  received the remaining proceeds of
$96,303 from its insurance carrier.

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.  On
October  31,  1997,  the  Plaintiffs  filed a second  consolidated  and  amended
complaint. The case was stayed pending settlement discussions.  A Stipulation of
Settlement dated September 15, 1998 has been signed by the parties.  Preliminary
Court  approval  was  received  on  October 6,  1998.  A hearing on final  Court
approval is scheduled for December 17, 1998.

Plaintiff's  counsel  intend  to seek an  order  awarding  attorney's  fees  and
reimbursements  of their  out-of-pocket  expenses.  The  amount of such award is
undeterminable  until  final  approval  is  received  from the  court.  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.

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.  As of September 30, 1998, the
Partnership owned seven apartment buildings,  one retail shopping center and one
office  building.  All of the  Partnership's  properties are subject to mortgage
indebtedness.

The  Partnership  sold two retail  shopping  centers  during  1997.  Cave Spring
Corners,  located in  Roanoke,  Virginia,  was sold on June 5, 1997,  and Iberia
Plaza,  located in New Iberia,  Louisiana,  was sold on December 12,  1997.  The
decision to sell the properties was influenced by the General  Partner's  belief
that the appreciation potential of the two properties was limited, the impending
maturities  of the  mortgage  notes  secured by the two  properties,  and by the
Partnership's  announced plan to liquidate its real estate by December 2001. The
net  proceeds  from the sales,  in the amount of  $3,679,598,  were added to the
Partnership's balance of cash reserves.

On June 18, 1998,  the  Partnership  refinanced  the La Plaza mortgage note. The
Partnership  obtained a 3-year,  $3,785,000  mortgage note from an  unaffiliated
lender,  of which  $3,185,000  has been  funded by the lender.  The  outstanding
balance of the new  mortgage  note bears  interest  at a variable  rate equal to
1.75% plus the London  Interbank  Offered Rate per annum.  The new note requires
monthly  interest-only  payments and quarterly  principal  payments in an amount
necessary  to reduce  the  principal  balance  of the note by 5%  annually.  The
maturity of the new mortgage note is June 18, 2001.

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

The Partnership reported net losses of $22,990 and $4,796, respectively, for the
three month and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1998, as compared to net
income of $50,630 and  $3,776,623  for the same  periods of 1997.  However,  net
income for the 1997  periods  includes the  $2,912,440  gain on the sale of Cave
Spring  Corners,  a $533,764  extraordinary  gain on  extinguishment  of debt, a
$65,800 gain on involuntary  conversion,  as well as results of operations  from
Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia  Plaza,  properties  that the  Partnership  sold
during 1997.  After  adjusting for these items,  and removing  certain  residual
expenses  pertaining  to Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia  Plaza from  results of
operations for 1998, the Partnership recorded net income of $8,244 for the first
nine  months of 1998 as  compared  to a net loss of  $30,225  for the first nine
months of 1997.











<PAGE>
Revenues:

Rental  revenue  decreased  3.2% and 5.3% for the  three  month  and nine  month
periods ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of 1997.  The
decrease is  attributable  to the loss of revenues from Cave Spring  Corners and
Iberia Plaza.  The  Partnership's  remaining  properties  increased their rental
revenues  $207,018 or 1.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the same period of 1997.  Rental  revenues  increased  at six of the
Partnership's seven residential  properties.  Briarwood  Apartments,  Coppermill
Apartments,  Quail Meadows  Apartments,  Sandpiper  Apartments  and Spanish Oaks
Apartments  reported  increases in net rental revenue ranging from 3.5% to 8.9%.
These  five  properties  reported  both  increased  rental  rates and  improving
occupancy  rates.  Regency Park  Apartments  increased  rental  revenue 2.3%. An
increase in base rental rates at Regency Park Apartments was partially offset by
increased vacancy loss. Rental revenue at Orchard Apartments decreased 4.4% as a
small  increase  in  rental  rates was more than  offset by  increased  vacancy,
discounts and other rental losses.

The Partnership's two remaining commercial properties,  La Plaza Office Building
and Lakeview Plaza, both recorded decreased rental revenue.  Decreased occupancy
at La Plaza Office Building  resulted in a 7.7% decrease in total revenue at the
Las Vegas property.  Lakeview Plaza  encountered both decreased rental rates and
occupancy  rates as the Lexington  property  reported a 13.9% decrease in rental
revenue.

Interest  revenue of the  Partnership  decreased 59% and 31% for the three month
and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods
of 1997.  Interest revenue decreased as the Partnership had decreased amounts of
cash invested in interest-bearing accounts.

Revenues for 1997 also  included a  $2,912,440  gain on the June 5, 1997 sale of
Cave Spring  Corners and a $65,800 gain on involuntary  conversion  related to a
1996 fire at Regency Park  Apartments.  No such events occurred during the first
nine months of 1998.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses decreased 2.1% and 3.5% for the three month and nine month
periods  ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to the same periods of 1997.  As
with rental  revenues,  the decrease was  primarily due to the 1997 sale of Cave
Spring Corners and Iberia Plaza.  Expenses at the remainder of the Partnership's
properties  increased $119,946 or 1.1% for the nine month period. The discussion
of expenses in the following paragraphs excludes expenses related to Cave Spring
Corners  and  Iberia  Plaza.  Significant  changes in  expense  items  include a
decrease in interest paid to affiliates, decreased other operating expenses, and
increased general and administrative expenses.

Although  total  interest  expense  at the  Partnership's  remaining  properties
decreased  7.1% and 2.4% for the  three  month  and  nine  month  periods  ended
September 30, 1998, the allocation of interest  expense  between  non-affiliates
and  affiliates  changed  due to the June 18, 1998  refinancing  of the La Plaza
mortgage  note.  With the La Plaza  refinancing,  the  Partnership  paid off all
affiliate mortgage notes.  Interest paid to affiliates  therefore  decreased 26%
for the  nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  1998,  and  was  completely
eliminated for the three month period ended September 30, 1998.




<PAGE>
Other operating  expenses at the Partnership's  remaining  properties  decreased
$103,058  or 14.7% for the first  nine  months of 1998 as  compared  to the same
period of 1997.  Included in other  operating  expenses for the third quarter of
1997 were certain legal fees and other costs  incurred at Briarwood  Apartments.
These fees and costs  were  incurred  to settle  litigation  involving  a former
employee of the property.

General and  administrative  expenses increased $37,983 to $122,130 and $268,387
to $501,204 for the three month and nine month periods ended  September 30, 1998
as compared to the same periods of 1997.  The increase was due to costs incurred
to explore  alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership (see Liquidity
and Capital Resources).

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

For the first nine months of 1998,  cash flow  provided by operating  activities
increased 11.2% to $2,382,409.  The increased cash flow is principally due to an
$928,256 decrease in cash paid to affiliates and a $323,143 decrease in interest
paid to non-affiliates. The Partnership paid $1,031,472 of reimbursable costs to
affiliates of the General Partner during the first nine months of 1997, but paid
only $148,732 of such reimbursements for the same period of 1998.

Short-term liquidity:

At September  30, 1998,  the  Partnership  held cash reserves of  $2,455,467,  a
decrease of  $3,300,509  from the balance at the end of 1997. On March 30, 1998,
the  Partnership  distributed  $4,499,998  to the limited  partners  ($33.34 per
limited  partnership unit). No payments of MID have yet been made to the General
Partner  in 1998.  Considering  the  current  performance  of the  Partnership's
properties  and budgeted  capital  improvements  for 1998,  the General  Partner
considers  the current  balance of cash and cash  reserves  adequate to meet the
Partnership's  cash needs for the rest of 1998. The next balloon  payment on the
Partnership's mortgage notes is not scheduled to occur until June 2001.

The Partnership  continues to invest in capital improvements for its properties.
For the first nine months of 1998, the Partnership  invested $591,636 in capital
improvements.  A total of $1.6 million of capital  improvements are budgeted for
1998. The largest capital improvement project will be tenant improvements at the
La Plaza Office Building,  if the Partnership  executes a new lease with a major
tenant that requires substantial tenant improvements.  The new La Plaza mortgage
note contains a commitment by the lender to lend up to $3,785,000. The amount of
the loan funded to date is only  $3,185,000.  The lender will fund the remaining
$600,000  to  provide  for tenant  improvements  necessary  at La Plaza,  if the
Partnership  signs a lease with a major tenant that requires the  Partnership to
make such tenant improvements.

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 capital  improvements made
by the  Partnership  during the past several years will yield improved cash flow
from  property  operations  in the future.  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.



<PAGE>
As previously announced, the Partnership has retained PaineWebber,  Incorporated
("PaineWebber")  as its exclusive  financial advisor to explore  alternatives to
maximize  the  value  of  the  Partnership  including,   without  limitation,  a
transaction  in which  limited  partnership  interests  in the  Partnership  are
converted  into  cash.  The  Partnership,   through  PaineWebber,  has  provided
financial  and  other  information  to  interested   parties  and  is  currently
conducting  discussions  with one such party in an attempt to reach a definitive
agreement  with respect to a sale  transaction.  It is possible that the General
Partner  and its  affiliates  will  receive  non-cash  consideration  for  their
ownership  interests in connection  with any such  transaction.  There can be no
assurance that any such agreement will be reached nor the terms thereof.

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, 1998 and 1997, the General  Partner was allocated net loss of $240
and net income of $1,883,750,  respectively. The limited partners were allocated
net loss of $4,556 and net income of $1,892,873 for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

No payments of MID to the General  Partner  have yet been paid during  1998.  On
March 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  distributed  $4,499,998  ($33.34 per limited
partnership unit) to the limited partners.  The General Partner will continue to
monitor  the cash  reserves  and working  capital  needs of the  Partnership  to
determine when cash flows will support distributions to the limited partners and
payments of MID to 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, 1998. 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.

Other Information:

Management has reviewed its information  technology  infrastructure  to identify
any  systems  that could be  affected  by the year 2000  problem.  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.  The
information  systems  used  by  the  Partnership  for  financial  reporting  and
significant  accounting  functions were made year 2000  compliant  during recent
systems conversions.




<PAGE>
Management  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the  mechanical  and  embedded
technological systems at the various properties. Management intends to inventory
all such systems and query  suppliers,  vendors and  manufacturers  to determine
year 2000 compliance.  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.  Management is in the process of identifying
those risks as well as  developing  a  contingency  plan to  mitigate  potential
adverse effects from non-compliance.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------  -----------------
  
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

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., 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.


<PAGE>
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.  On
October  31,  1997,  the  Plaintiffs  filed a second  consolidated  and  amended
complaint. The case was stayed pending settlement discussions.  A Stipulation of
Settlement dated September 15, 1998 has been signed by the parties.  Preliminary
Court  approval  was  received  on  October 6,  1998.  A hearing on final  Court
approval is scheduled for December 17, 1998.

Plaintiff's  counsel  intend  to seek an  order  awarding  attorney's  fees  and
reimbursements  of their  out-of-pocket  expenses.  The  amount of such award is
undeterminable  until  final  approval  is  received  from the  court.  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.
