Notes To Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1998
NOTE 1.
- -------
McNeil Pacific Investors Fund 1972 (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
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.
At a meeting of the limited partners on August 12, 1997, the limited partners
approved the sale of Palm Bay Apartments and the dissolution of the Partnership.
After the September 30, 1997 sale of Palm Bay Apartments, the General Partner
commenced the dissolution and termination of the Partnership. The assets and
liabilities in the accompanying statements of net assets in liquidation at
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 are valued at their estimated
realizable values and estimated settlement amounts, respectively. The
Partnership is in the process of liquidating its assets, satisfying all
creditors and claims against the Partnership, distributing its remaining assets
to its partners, and terminating its existence.
NOTE 2.

administering the Partnership's affairs.

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.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
On September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold its last real estate asset, Palm Bay
Apartments. Proceeds from the sale were distributed to the partners in December
1997. The Partnership's sole remaining asset consists of its $401,171 balance of
cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 1998, the Partnership's liabilities
consist of $19,696 of accrued expenses, $12,362 of which are due to affiliates
of the General Partner.
The Partnership remains subject to litigation as discussed in Part II, Item 1,
Legal Proceedings. The General Partner intends to use the Partnership's
remaining funds for the payment of costs associated with the litigation. After
the litigation is either adjudicated or otherwise settled, and all legal and
other costs have been provided for, remaining Partnership funds, if any, will be
distributed to the partners.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Results of operations for the first three quarters of 1998 are not comparable to
results reported for the first three quarters of 1997 due to the sale of Palm
Bay Apartments, and the subsequent distribution of sales proceeds to the
partners.
Revenues:
Revenues for the first nine months of 1998 consist solely of $14,561 of interest
earned on the Partnership's funds invested in money market accounts.
Expenses:
Partnership expenses include $10,159 of expenses related to operations at Palm
Bay Apartments, all of which were incurred during the first quarter of 1998. The
Partnership believes that all expenses arising from operations at Palm Bay
Apartments are accrued or have been paid.
General and administrative expenses decreased $22,382 or 35% over general and
administrative expenses incurred during 1997. The Partnership continues to incur
costs related to the litigation discussed below. However, the amount of
litigation-related costs decreased for both the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods of 1997.
General and administrative expenses paid to affiliates for the first nine months
of 1998 reflects a $3,550 credit or refund from affiliates. General and
administrative expenses for 1997 exceeded the limit equal to 2% of the
Partnership's assets established by the Amended Partnership Agreement.
Consequently, in the first quarter of 1998 the Partnership received a refund
from an affiliate.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 1998, the Partnership held $401,171 of cash and cash
equivalents. The Partnership owns no other assets. The Partnership intends to
use its remaining funds to pay the accrued expenses owed by the Partnership, in
the amount of $19,696 as of September 30, 1998, to pay all remaining expenses
connected with the termination of the Partnership, and to provide a contingency
reserve to pay all costs associated with ongoing litigation involving the
Partnership as a defendant. After all expenses have been provided for, and the
litigation is resolved through either adjudication or settlement, all remaining
Partnership funds will be distributed to the partners in accordance with terms
of the Partnership Agreement. The General Partner considers the current balance
of cash and cash equivalents adequate for all of these purposes.
Distributions:
In December 1997, the Partnership distributed $4,772,400 to its partners. This
distribution includes $4,549,786 of net cash proceeds from the sale of Palm Bay
Apartments, as well as $222,614 of cash reserves of the Partnership.
Distribution of the remaining cash reserves of the Partnership will be made from
any remaining funds of the Partnership after all liabilities of the Partnership
have been paid, including costs associated with terminating the Partnership's
affairs, and costs associated with adjudicating or settling litigation in which
the Partnership is involved.
Forward-Looking Information:
Within this document, certain statements are made as to expected Partnership
developments, including the ultimate termination of the Partnership's business,
satisfaction of the Partnership's creditors, and distributions to limited
partners. 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 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 outcome of litigation in which the
Partnership is a defendant.
