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

Since the sale of  Pacesetter  Apartments  on March 17,  1994,  the focus of the
Partnership's  efforts have been directed to the renovation  program at Palm Bay
Apartments (formerly known as Greentree Apartments).  From the beginning of 1994
through  the third  quarter  of 1995,  the  Partnership  has  completed  capital
renovation projects totaling $974,027. To date, occupancy at Palm Bay Apartments
has not recovered as much as was hoped. At September 30, 1995, occupancy at Palm
Bay  Apartments  stood at 78% up from 72% at June 30,  1995 and down from 82% at
December 31, 1994. As the capital  renovation  program winds down,  the focus of
the Partnership will turn to leasing the restored units and increasing operating
efficiencies at the property.

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

The  Partnership  reported a loss of $216,344  for the first nine months of 1995
compared  to net  income of  $445,773  for the first  nine  months of 1994.  The
results for the first nine months of 1994  included a one-time  gain of $574,701
from the sale of Pacesetter  Apartments.  Rental revenues and operating expenses
were both lower for the nine months  ending  September 30, 1995 because the 1995
figures do not include rental  revenues or expenses of Pacesetter  Apartments as
do the 1994 figures.


<PAGE>


Unlike the  year-to-date  figures,  the third quarter figures from both 1995 and
1994 contain only operating  results from Palm Bay Apartments.  The net loss for
the third  quarter of 1995  increased to $128,927  from the $93,097 loss for the
third quarter of 1994.

Revenues:

Rental  revenues  decreased  $83,010 or 7.4% for the first  nine  months of 1995
compared to the first nine months of 1994.  The decrease is  principally  due to
the sale of Pacesetter  Apartments in March 1994. The rental revenue of Palm Bay
Apartments  increased  $51,612 or 5.3% for the nine month period,  but decreased
$7,915 or 2.4% during the third quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of
1994.  Net rental  rates for Palm Bay's  apartment  units are  unchanged in 1995
compared to 1994. Changes in rental revenue achieved at Palm Bay Apartments from
1994 to 1995 are due to  changes  in  occupancy  rates.  The  occupancy  rate at
September 30, 1995 was 78%, down from 82% reported at December 31, 1994,  but up
from 73%  reported  at June 30,  1995.  A portion  of the  capital  improvements
completed this year related to restoring  approximately 70 out-of-service  units
to leasable condition.

The  Partnership  has not been able to increase  occupancy  rates or base rental
rates as quickly as was hoped.  Several  apartment  communities in the immediate
area have also  undergone  major  rehabilitation,  and several of the  competing
apartment  communities  are able to offer  their  units at rates  that have been
subsidized by various  government  programs.  The effect of the  competition has
restricted the increase in rental revenue that was otherwise  expected from Palm
Bay  Apartments.  Management is  implementing  various  marketing  strategies to
attempt to improve the revenue growth of the property.

Interest revenues increased $5,797 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
The  Partnership  had  substantially  more funds  invested  in  interest-bearing
accounts due to the sale of Pacesetter Apartments in the first quarter of 1994.

Revenues  for  1994  also  include  the  one-time  gain on  sale  of  Pacesetter
Apartments.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses  increased  $20,203  or 1.6%  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995.  However,  after excluding expenses pertaining to Pacesetter
Apartments,  expenses  increased  $126,274  or 12% for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1995.  Third quarter  results,  which do not include any expenses
related to  Pacesetter  Apartments,  show an  increase  in expenses of 27,358 or
6.2%.   Increased   expenses  were  concentrated  in  depreciation  and  general
administrative. Repair and maintenance decreased $47,320 or 35%.

The largest increase, on both an absolute and percentage basis, was the increase
in  depreciation  expense.  For the  nine  months  and the  three  months  ended
September  30,  1995  depreciation  expense  at Palm  Bay  Apartments  increased
$115,196 or 84% and $43,704 or 96%,  respectively.  The increase in depreciation
expense  is due to the  continuing  investment  of  Partnership  resources  into
capital improvements.  In the year since September 30, 1994, the Partnership has
invested  $409,298  in capital  improvements.  These  capital  improvements  are
generally being depreciated over lives ranging from five to ten years.

Repair and maintenance expenses at Palm Bay Apartments decreased $26,033 or 9.6%
and $47,320 or 35%,  respectively,  for the nine month and three  month  periods
ended  September  30,  1995.   Repair  and  maintenance   expense  decreased  as
expenditures  to  bring   out-of-service  units  into  leasable  condition  were
completed during the second quarter of 1995.

The  Partnership  incurred  reduced  interest  expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Again,
the reason was the elimination of interest charges  pertaining to the Pacesetter
mortgage note.

Property  management  fees for the nine months and three months ended  September
30, 1995 at Palm Bay Apartments  increased  $11,284 or 24% and $2,021 or 12%. An
increase in rental receipts,  upon which such fees are based, and an increase in
the management fee percentage to 6% from 5% (effective January 1, 1995) were the
reasons for the increase.


<PAGE>


Property tax expense decreased $35,091 for the nine month period ended September
30, 1995.  Most of the decrease was due to the  elimination of property taxes at
Pacesetter Apartments.  However, property taxes also decreased $15,003 or 15% at
Palm Bay  Apartments  due to tax  appeals  by the  Partnership  to local  taxing
jurisdictions that resulted in lower assessments.

General and administrative increased $44,234 and $38,714,  respectively, for the
nine and the three  months  ended  September  30,  1995 as  compared to the same
period in 1994.  The increase was due to $36,000 of costs relating to evaluation
and  dissemination of information  with regards to an unsolicited  tender offer.
See Item 5 - Other Information.

General and administrative - affiliates for the nine months and the three months
ended  September  30,  1995  increased  by  $12,632  or 27% and  $1,775  or 10%,
respectively,  due to an increase in  reimbursements  to  affiliates  because of
fewer partnerships over which overhead costs are allocated.

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

Cash flows generated by operating activities of the Partnership were $35,240 for
the first nine months of 1995,  compared to $73,766 for the first nine months of
1994. The Partnership  anticipates that the capital renovation  projects at Palm
Bay  Apartments  will begin to yield  improved cash flow from  operations as the
restored and  refurbished  units are leased to new tenants.  However,  cash flow
from Palm Bay Apartments will not be sufficient to fund both operating  expenses
and debt service  requirements  until the occupancy  rate of Palm Bay Apartments
improves. For the balance of 1995, the Partnership will use its cash reserves to
fund debt service requirements if cash flows from operations are insufficient.

Cash paid to affiliates  increased  $121,896 in 1995 compared to 1994 due to the
$81,000  brokerage  commission  on the sale of  Pacesetter  Apartments  that was
incurred in 1994 but not paid until 1995.

The sale of Pacesetter  Apartments in March 1994, provided the largest change in
the cash flows of the Partnership. Cash generated from the sale, after repayment
of the Pacesetter mortgage note, totaled $1,655,173.  The Partnership used these
proceeds to fund capital  improvements at Palm Bay Apartments and to improve the
Partnership's cash reserves.  Cash expended for capital improvements at Palm Bay
Apartments decreased to $326,258 for the first nine months of 1995 from $422,605
for the first nine months of 1994.

The  financing  activities  of  the  Partnership,  aside  from  the  March  1994
retirement of the Pacesetter mortgage note, consist of the repayment of the Palm
Bay mortgage  note through  monthly debt service  payments.  These  payments are
scheduled to gradually increase until June 1997, when the Palm Bay mortgage note
matures.

Short Term Liquidity:

Due to the sale of  Pacesetter  Apartments  on March 17, 1994,  the  Partnership
began 1995 with adequate cash  reserves.  A substantial  portion of the proceeds
from  the  sale  of  Pacesetter   Apartments   have  been  invested  in  capital
improvements  at Palm Bay Apartments.  The Partnership has budgeted  $339,000 of
capital   improvements   for  1995  in  addition  to  the  $678,720  of  capital
improvements  made during 1994 and 1993.  The capital  improvements  at Palm Bay
Apartments  are necessary to allow the property to increase its rental  revenues
and become competitive in the Orlando sub-market where the property is located.

At  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  held  $677,779  of  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  down $384,582 from the balance at the end of 1994. The Partnership
will use its cash  reserves,  if necessary  to complete  the capital  renovation
projects at Palm Bay Apartments. The General Partner considers the Partnership's
cash reserves adequate for such uses for the balance of 1995.


<PAGE>


Long Term Liquidity:

For the long term,  property operations will remain the primary source of funds.
While the present outlook for the Partnership's  liquidity is favorable,  market
conditions  may change and  property  operations  may  deteriorate.  The General
Partner expects that the capital  improvements at Palm Bay Apartments will yield
improved cash flow from  operations  in 1995.  The  Partnership  has budgeted an
additional  $53,000  of capital  improvements  for the  balance of 1995.  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 property.

The General  Partner has  established a revolving  credit facility not to exceed
$5,000,000 in the aggregate  which is available on a "first-come,  first-served"
basis to the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships if certain conditions
are met.  However,  there is no  assurance  that the  Partnership  will  receive
additional  funds under the facility because no amounts will be reserved for any
particular partnership.  As of September 30, 1995, $2,362,004 remained available
for  borrowing  under the  facility;  however,  additional  funds  could  become
available as other partnerships repay borrowings.

As a  additional  source of  liquidity,  the  General  Partner  may  attempt  to
refinance the Palm Bay mortgage note. The General Partner  estimates that such a
refinancing  could  yield  proceeds to the  Partnership  in excess of the amount
needed to retire the current mortgage note.  However,  there can be no guarantee
that the Partnership  will be able to obtain such mortgage  refinancing on terms
or in amounts favorable to the Partnership,  or that the cash proceeds from such
refinancing  could  be  timed  to  coincide  with  the  liquidity  needs  of the
Partnership.

Distributions:

Distributions  to partners have been suspended as part of the General  Partner's
policy of maintaining adequate cash reserves. Distributions to Unit holders will
remain suspended for the foreseeable  future.  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 Unit holders.

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

1)   High River Limited Partnership vs. McNeil Partners, L.P., McNeil Investors,
     Inc.,  McNeil Pacific  Investors   1972, Ltd.,  McNeil  Real Estate Fund V,

     Ltd., McNeil Real Estate  Fund XV,  Ltd.,  McNeil  Real  Estate  Fund   XX,
     L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIV,  L.P.,  McNeil Real Estate  Fund   XXV,
     L.P.,  Robert A.  McNeil and Carole J. McNeil  (L95012) - High River ("HR")
     filed this action in the United  States District  Court  for  the  Southern
     District of  New  York  against  McNeil  Partners,  McNeil  Investors   and
     Mr.  and  Mrs. McNeil requesting,  among other things, names and  addresses
     of  the Partnership's  limited partners.  The District   Court   issued   a
     preliminary  injunction   against   the   Partnerships  requiring  them  to
     commence  mailing  materials relating to High River tender offer  materials
     on August 14, 1995.

     On August 18, 1995,  McNeil Partners,  McNeil Investors, the  Partnerships,
     and Mr. and Mrs. McNeil filed an Answer and Counterclaim.  The Counterclaim
     principally  asserts  (1) the  HR tender  offers  have  been  undertaken in
     violation  of the  federal  securities  laws,  on the  basis  of  material,
     non-public,  and   confidential  information,  and (2) that  the  HR  offer
     documents omit and/or  misrepresent  certain  material  information   about
     the  HR   tender  offers.   The  counterclaim   seeks  a  preliminary   and
     permanent   injunction  against  the  continuation  of the HR tender offers
     and,   alternatively,  ordering  corrective  disclosure  with   respect  to
     allegedly false and misleading statements  contained in  the  tender  offer
     documents.

     The High River tender  offer  expired  on October 6, 1995.  The  Defendants
     believe that the action is moot and  expect the  matter  to   be  dismissed
     shortly.

2)   Robert Lewis vs. McNeil  Partners,  L.P.,  McNeil  Investors,  Inc., Robert
     A. McNeil et al - In the District  Court  of  Dallas County,  Texas, A-14th

     Plaintiff  alleges that McNeil  Partners,  L.P.,  McNeil  Investors,  Inc.,
     Robert A. McNeil and other senior officers (collectively, the "Defendants")
     breached  their  fiduciary  duties by , among other things, (1) failing  to
     attempt to sell the properties owned by the Partnerships ("Properties") and
     extending the lives   of  the  Partnerships  indefinitely,  contrary to the
     Partnerships'  business  plans, (2)  paying distributions to themselves and
     generating fees for their affiliates,  (3) refusing to   make   significant
     distributions  to    the    class    members,  despite   the  fact that the
     Partnerships  have positive cash flows and substantial  cash balances,  and
     (4) failing to take   steps to  create an  auction market   for Partnership
     equity  interests,  despite the fact that a third party bidder filed tender
     offers for approximately forty-five percent (45%)  of the outstanding units
     of each of the Partnerships.  Plaintiff   also  claims that Defendants have
     breached the Partnership  Agreements  by failing to take steps to liquidate
     the   Properties  and  by   their  alteration of the Partnerships'  primary
     purposes,   their  acts in  contravention  of  these agreements,  and their
     use   of   the Partnership  assets for their own benefit instead of for the

     consummation of the High River tender  offers,  (2)  failing to take  steps
     to  maximize     unitholders'  or   limited   partners'  values,  including
     failure to  liquidate   the   properties   owned   by    the  Partnerships,

     and  Carole J.  McNeil -  United  States  District  Court  for the Southern
     District of New York, (Case No. 95 Civ. 9488) (Second Action).  

     On November 7, 1995, High   River   commenced  a  second   complaint  which
     alleges,  inter  alia, that  McNeil's  Schedule  14D-9  filed in connection
     with the High River  tender  offers was  materially  false  and misleading,
     in  violation  of Sections  14(d) and 14(e) of  the   Securities   Exchange
     Act of 1934,  15  U.S.C.  Section 78n(d)  and (e), and  the SEC Regulations
     promulgated  thereunder;  and that High River further  alleges that  McNeil
     has  wrongfully  refused to admit  High  River  as  a  limited  partner  to
     the Funds.  Additionally, High River purports to assert claims derivatively
     on behalf of Funds IX, XI, XV, XXIV  and XXV, for  breach  of contract  and
     breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  asserting  that  McNeil   has  charged  these
     Partnerships  excessive fees.  High River's  complaint seeks,  inter  alia,
     preliminary  injunctive relief requiring McNeil to admit High  River  as  a
     limited  partner in each of the  ten  Partnerships  and  to   transfer  the
     tendered  units  of  interest  in the   Partnerships  to  High  River;   an
     unspecified  award of damages  payable to  High  River  and  an  additional
     unspecified  award of damages  payable to certain of the  Partnerships;  an
     order that  defendants  must  discharge  their  fiduciary  duties  and must
     account for all fees they have received from certain of  the  Partnerships;
     and attorneys' fees.

     The  Defendants  deny that there is any  merit  to  Plaintiff's allegations
     and intend to vigorously  defend this  action.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION
- -------  -----------------

As previously disclosed, on an unsolicited basis, High River Limited Partnership
("High River"),  a partnership  controlled by Carl Icahn,  announced that it had
commenced an offer to purchase  6,189 units of limited  partnership  interest in
the Partnership (approximately 45% of the Partnership's units) at $110 per unit.
The tender offer was  originally due to expire on August 31, 1995. In connection
therewith,  the  parties  entered  into  certain  negotiations  and  discussions
regarding,  among other things,  possible  transactions  between the parties and
their affiliates,  McNeil Partners,  McNeil Investors,  and McREMI. On September
19,  1995,  the parties  having not reached any  resolution  on the terms of the
proposed transactions,  McNeil Partners terminated the parties' discussion. High
River had extended its offer  several times until the final  expiration  date of
October  6,  1995.  On  October  11,  1995 High  River  announced  that based on
preliminary  information  furnished  by the  depositary  for the  tender  offer,
approximately 530 units of the Partnership were tendered and not withdrawn prior
to the  expiration of the tender  offer.  On October 12, 1995,  McNeil  Partners
announced  that it would  continue to explore  potential  avenues to enhance the
value of the Partnership  units,  which may include,  among other things,  asset
sales,  refinancings  of Partnership  properties  followed by  distributions  or
tender offers for units of limited  partnership.  There can be no assurance that
any such plans will develop or that any such transactions will be consummated.
