                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 1996

NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized June 26, 1984
as a limited  partnership  organized  under  the  provisions  of the  California
Uniform  Limited  Partnership  Act. 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 amended and
restated  limited  partnership  agreement,  dated October 11, 1991 (the "Amended
Partnership Agreement"). The principal place of business for the Partnership and
the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, 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, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

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,  1995,  and the  notes  thereto,  as  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  which is available upon request by writing
to McNeil Real Estate Fund XV, Ltd.,  c/o McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.,
Investor Relations, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
- -------

The  Partnership  pays  property  management  fees  equal to 5% of 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 and leasing services.

The  Partnership  reimburses  McREMI  for  its  costs,  including  overhead,  of
administering the Partnership's affairs.

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 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.



<PAGE>
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:

NOTE 4.
- -------

The  Partnership  filed claims with the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Northern  District of Texas,  Dallas Division (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") against
Southmark Corporation ("Southmark"),  an affiliate of a previous general partner
for damages relating to improper  overcharges,  breach of contract and breach of
fiduciary  duty.  The  Partnership  settled  these  claims  in  1991,  and  such
settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

An Order Granting  Motion to Distribute  Funds to Class 8 Claimants  dated April
14, 1995 was issued by the Bankruptcy  Court.  In accordance  with the Order, in
May 1995 the Partnership received in full satisfaction of its claims, $26,655 in
cash,  and  common  and  preferred  stock  in the  reorganized  Southmark  which
represents the  Partnership's  pro-rata share of Southmark  assets available for
Class 8 Claimants. The Partnership sold the Southmark common and preferred stock
in May for  $8,608  which,  combined  with the  cash  proceeds  from  Southmark,
resulted in a gain on legal settlement of $35,263.

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, 1996, the Partnership
owned four apartment properties.  Three of the four Partnership's properties are
subject to mortgage notes.

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

Revenue:

Partnership revenues increased by $58,779 or 2% and $16,356 or 1%, respectively,
for the six and three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  as  compared  to the same
periods last year.  Rental  revenue  increased by $142,935 or 4%, while interest
income decreased by $48,893 or 48%.

Rental  revenue for the first six months of 1996 was  $3,974,553  as compared to
$3,831,618 for the same period in 1995. The increase in rental revenue is due to
increases in market rental rates at all of the Partnership's properties.

Interest  income  for the six  months  decreased  due to  smaller  average  cash
balances invested in interest-bearing accounts.

The  Partnership  also  recognized  a gain on legal  settlement  of $35,263 as a
result of the  settlement  with  Southmark  received in 1995. No such gains have
been recognized in 1996.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses  increased  by $77,401  and  $34,808 or 2% for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1996,  respectively.  Decreases in mortgage interest
and general and  administrative - affiliates expense were offset by increases in
depreciation,   property  taxes,   repair  and  maintenance,   and  general  and
administrative expenses.

Mortgage interest expense decreased for the period ended June 30, 1996, compared
to the same period in 1995, by $105,773 or 9%. The decrease is due to the payoff
of the Cedar Run mortgage note payable in December 1995.

Depreciation  expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 1996 increased
by $58,715 or 6% and $31,451 or 7%,  respectively,  compared to the same periods
in 1995. This increase is due to capital  improvements made at the property.  As
of June 30, 1996, the Partnership made $366,862 in capital  improvements for the
year.

Property tax expense for the period ended June 30, 1996 was $228,226 as compared
to $200,910 in 1995.  The  increase of $27,316 or 14% is a result of an increase
in the assessed property value at Arrowhead and Mountain Shadows.



<PAGE>
Repairs and maintenance expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 1996
increased  by $76,990 or 21% and $36,560 or 17%,  respectively,  compared to the
same periods in 1995.  The increase is due to the  replacement  of carpeting and
appliances, which met the Partnership's criteria for capitalization based on the
magnitude  of  replacements  in 1995,  but were  expensed in 1996.  In addition,
furniture  rental  increased at Mountain Shadows due to an increase in corporate
unit leases where furniture is provided by the lease.

General and  administrative  expenses increased $20,944 or 63% and $4,919 or 29%
for the six and three  months,  respectively,  of 1996 as  compared  to the same
periods last year. The increase is due to costs incurred in the first quarter of
1996, by the Partnership, to defend class action litigation.

General and  administrative - affiliates expense decreased by $13,517 or 11% for
the first six months of 1996 as compared to the same period last year due to the
reduction of overhead expenses allocable to the Partnership.

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

The  Partnership's  primary  source of cash flows is from  operating  activities
which  generated  $1,104,648 of cash in the first six months of 1996 as compared
to $1,148,445  for the same period in 1995.  The decrease in cash of $43,807 was
mainly the result of an increase in cash paid to suppliers offset by an increase
in cash  received  from tenants and a decrease in mortgage  interest paid due to
the payoff of the Cedar Run mortgage.

The Partnership  expended $366,862 and $429,496 for capital  improvements to its
properties in the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

During the first six  months of 1996,  the  Partnership  paid  distributions  of
$499,991 to the limited  partners and MID payments of  $251,074.  The  principle
payments on the mortgage notes payable declined  slightly in 1996 as a result of
the pay off of the mortgage notes on Cedar Run in December 1995.

Short-term liquidity:

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership  held cash and cash equivalents of $1,868,991,
down  $210,361  from the balance at December 31, 1995.  This balance  provides a
comfortable level of working capital for the Partnership's operations.

During 1996, operations of the Partnership's  properties are expected to provide
positive cash flow from operations.  Management will perform routine repairs and
maintenance on the properties to preserve and enhance their value in the market.
In 1996, the Partnership has budgeted to spend approximately $510,000 on capital
improvements, which are expected to be funded from operations of the properties.

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. Borrowings under the facility may be used to fund deferred maintenance,
refinancing  obligations  and working  capital needs.  The  Partnership  has not
received,  nor is there any assurance  that the  Partnership  will receive,  any
funds under the facility  because no amounts will be reserved for any particular
partnership.  As of June 30, 1996,  $4,082,159  remained available for borrowing
under the facility;  however,  additional  funds could become available as other
partnerships  repay  borrowings.  This  commitment  by the General  Partner will
terminate on October 11, 1996.

<PAGE>

Long-term liquidity:

For the long term,  property operations will remain the primary source of funds.
While the present  outlook for  Partnership's  liquidity  is  favorable,  market
conditions may change and property  operations can  deteriorate.  In that event,
the Partnership  would require other sources of working  capital.  No such other
sources have been  identified,  and the Partnership has no established  lines of
credit.  Other possible actions to resolve working capital  deficiencies include
refinancing or  renegotiating  terms of existing loans,  deferring major capital
expenditures on Partnership properties except where improvements are expected to
enhance the  competitiveness  or marketability  of the properties,  or arranging
working capital support from affiliates. All or a combination of these steps may
be  inadequate  or  unfeasible  in  resolving  such  potential  working  capital
deficiencies.  No affiliate  support has been required in the past, and there is
no assurance  that support  would be provided in the future,  since  neither the
General  Partner nor any affiliates have any obligation in this regard in excess
of the $5,000,000 revolving credit facility discussed above.

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 99:1 to the limited partners and
the General Partner, respectively.  Therefore, for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, $240,930 and $258,273, respectively, was allocated to the General
Partner.  The limited partners received allocations of $(249,369) and $(199,346)
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

During  the  first  quarter  of  1996,  the  limited  partners  received  a cash
distribution of $499,991. The distribution consisted of funds from operations. A
distribution  of  $257,848  for the MID was accrued by the  Partnership  for the
period ended June 30, 1996 for the General Partner.  During the third quarter of
1996, the Partnership anticipates making a distribution totaling $500,000 to the
limited partners of record as of August 1, 1996.
