NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil  Real  Estate  Fund XXV,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  formerly  known as
Southmark  Equity  Partners  II, Ltd.,  was  organized on February 15, 1985 as a
limited  partnership  under the  provisions of the  California  Revised  Limited
Partnership Act to acquire and operate  commercial and  residential  properties.
The general  partner of the Partnership is McNeil  Partners,  L.P. (the "General
Partner"),  a Delaware  limited  partnership,  an  affiliate of Robert A. McNeil
("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, 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 XXV,  L.P.,  c/o The Herman  Group,  2121 San Jacinto
St., 26th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201.

NOTE 3.
- -------

Certain prior period amounts have been  reclassified to conform with the current
period presentation.

NOTE 4.
- -------

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts for its  residential  property and 6% of gross rental  receipts for its
commercial  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>
The  Partnership  is paying an asset  management  fee  which is  payable  to the
General  Partner.  Through 1999, the asset management fee is calculated as 1% of
the  Partnership's  tangible asset value.  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  properties 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. The fee percentage  decreases  subsequent to
1999.

Compensation  and  reimbursements  paid to or  accrued  for the  benefit  of the
General Partner or its affiliates are as follows:

primarily  of  unpaid  property   management  fees,   Partnership   general  and
administrative  expenses and asset  management fees and are due and payable from
current operations.

NOTE 5.
- -------

In October 1992, the Partnership restructured a lease with a major tenant of the
Kellogg  Building.  In connection  with the  restructuring,  the tenant signed a
promissory  note in the  amount  of  $500,000  and the  Partnership  recorded  a
deferred gain as a result of this  transaction.  The deferred gain was amortized
as payments on the note were received.  The tenant  defaulted on the note and no
payments  were  received  in 1996 or  1995.  The  balance  of the  note  and the
corresponding  deferred  gain were  $344,225 at December 31, 1996. In July 1997,
the  Partnership  received  $60,000 in full  settlement of the promissory  note,
which was recognized as rental revenue on the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 6.
- -------

Effective  January 1, 1993, the Partnership  ceased making  regularly  scheduled
debt service and escrow payments on the mortgage note payable secured by Harbour
Club I Apartments.  In lieu of the aforementioned  payments, the Partnership was
funding debt service with the excess cash flow of the property.  The Partnership
had been  notified  that the  mortgage  note  payable was in default.  Effective
January 23,  1997,  the  mortgage  note  payable  was sold by the United  States
Department of Housing and Urban  Development to an unaffiliated  lender. In July
1997,  the mortgage  note was brought  current  after the  Partnership  made all
delinquent  payments  and  late charges.  Regular monthly mortgage payments were
resumed in July 1997.

NOTE 7.
- -------

In 1996, the  Partnership  adopted 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."
This statement  requires the cessation of  depreciation on assets held for sale.
Since  Northwest  Plaza was placed on the market for sale, no  depreciation  was
taken effective August 1, 1997.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

There has been no  significant  change in the  operations  of the  Partnership's
properties  since  December 31,  1996.  The  Partnership  reported a net loss of
$139,898 for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to a net loss of $391,044
for the first  nine  months  of 1996.  Revenue  in 1997  decreased  slightly  to
$7,116,355  from  $7,145,555 in 1996,  and expenses  dropped to $7,256,253  from
$7,536,599.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  was  $1,176,213  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997.  The  Partnership  expended  $774,521  for  capital
improvements,  $211,459 for principal  payments on its mortgage note payable and
$29,266  for  payments  on  the  capitalized   land  lease   obligation.   After
distributions  of $999,995 to the limited  partners,  cash and cash  equivalents
totaled  $2,417,718  at September  30, 1997, a net decrease of $839,028 from the
balance at December 31, 1996.

Effective  January 1, 1993, the Partnership  ceased making  regularly  scheduled
debt service and escrow payments on the mortgage note payable secured by Harbour
Club I Apartments.  In lieu of the aforementioned  payments, the Partnership was
funding debt service with the excess cash flow of the property.  The Partnership

Department of Housing and Urban  Development to an unaffiliated  lender. In July
1997,  the mortgage  note was brought  current  after the  Partnership  made all
delinquent  payments and late charges.  Regular monthly  mortgage  payments were
resumed in July 1997.

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

Revenue:

Total  Partnership  revenue  increased  by $65,694  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997 and decreased by $29,200 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997, as compared to the same periods in 1996. The overall  decrease was due
to a decrease in interest  income.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by an
increase in rental  revenue,  mainly in the third  quarter of 1997, as discussed
below.

Rental revenue  increased by $86,229 for the three months and by $35,961 for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1997, as compared to the same periods in 1996.
In the  third  quarter  of  1997,  the  Partnership  received  $60,000  in  full
settlement of a note receivable from a tenant of the Kellogg Building as further
discussed in Item 1, Note 5. Collections on the note receivable were recorded as
rental revenue since the note  represented  rental payments due to the property.
In addition, increases in rental revenue of approximately $64,000 and $43,000 at
Kellogg  Building  and Harbour Club I  Apartments  were due to increased  rental
rates  in  1997.   These  increases  were  partially   offset  by  decreases  of
approximately $88,000 and $25,000 at Northwest Plaza Office Building and Century
Park Office  Building,  respectively  due to decreases  in average  occupancy in
1997.

Interest  income  decreased by $20,535 and $65,161 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, respectively,  as compared to the same periods in 1996
due to a lower amount of cash available for  short-term  investment in 1997. The
Partnership held $2.4 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997
as compared to $4.8 million at September 30, 1996.

Expenses:

Total expenses  decreased by $227,999 and $280,346 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1996.
The decrease was primarily due to decreases in depreciation and amortization and
general and administrative expenses, as discussed below.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  for the  three and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 decreased by $157,005 and $128,685, respectively, in relation
to the prior  year.  The  decrease  was  mainly  due to  Northwest  Plaza  being
classified  as an asset  held for sale by the  Partnership  effective  August 1,
1997. 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  on the  asset at the time it was  placed on the
market for sale.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased by $59,081 for the three months
and by $52,721 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, as compared to the
same  periods in 1996.  The  decrease  was  mainly  due to a  decrease  in costs
incurred  relating to evaluation and  dissemination of information  regarding an
unsolicited  tender offer.  This decrease was partially  offset by approximately
$30,000 of costs incurred for investor  services which were paid to an unrelated
third  party in 1997.  In 1996,  such  costs  were paid to an  affiliate  of the
General Partner and were included in general and  administrative - affiliates on
the Statements of Operations.

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

Cash flow provided by operating  activities  was  $1,176,213  for the first nine
months of 1997 as  compared  to  $2,075,035  provided  during the same period in
1996.  The decrease in cash provided by operating  activities in 1997 was mainly
due to an increase in cash paid to  suppliers  and  interest  paid.  In February
1997, the Partnership was required to pay the plaintiffs' attorneys $690,000 for
legal expenses for a lawsuit  relating to the rescission of limited  partnership
units.  In 1997,  defaulted  interest  of  $184,000  was paid in addition to the
required monthly cash flow payment on the mortgage secured by Harbour Club I.

The  Partnership  expended  $774,521 and  $1,034,558  for  additions to its real
estate  investments  during the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  A greater  amount was spent in 1996 at Harbour Club I for paving,
roofing and hallway upgrades,  and at Northwest Plaza for asbestos  remediation.
In 1997, a greater amount was expended for tenant improvements at Century Park.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the  Partnership  made $211,459
in principal  payments on its mortgage note payable secured by Harbour Club I to
cure the default. No such principal payments were made in 1996.

The Partnership distributed $999,995 and $250,006 to the limited partners in the
first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Short-term liquidity:

At  September  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  held cash and cash  equivalents  of
$2,417,718.  This balance provides a reasonable level of working capital for the
Partnership's immediate needs in operating its properties.

For the  remainder  of 1997,  Partnership  properties  are  expected  to provide
positive  cash flow from  operations  after  payment of debt service and capital
improvements.  Only one property,  Harbour Club I Apartments, is encumbered with
mortgage debt and another  property,  Fidelity  Plaza,  is encumbered with lease
obligations.  In July 1997,  the  mortgage  note of Harbour  Club I was  brought
current  after  making all the  delinquent  payments and late  charges.  Regular
monthly  mortgage  payments  were  resumed in July  1997.  The  Partnership  has
budgeted  approximately  $1,416,000 for necessary  capital  improvements for all
properties in 1997 which is expected to be funded from  available  cash reserves
or from operations of the properties.

Additional efforts to maintain and improve  Partnership  liquidity have included
continued attention to property management activities. The objective has been to
obtain maximum  occupancy  rates while holding  expenses to levels  necessary to
maximize  cash flows.  The  Partnership  has made  capital  expenditures  on its
properties where improvements were expected to increase the  competitiveness and
marketability of the properties.


<PAGE>
Long-term liquidity:

While the outlook for  maintenance of adequate levels of liquidity is favorable,
should  operations  deteriorate and present cash resources be  insufficient  for
current needs,  the Partnership  would require other sources of working capital.
No such sources have been identified.  The Partnership has no established  lines
of  credit  from  outside  sources.  Other  possible  actions  to  resolve  cash
deficiencies   include   refinancings,   deferral  of  capital  expenditures  on
Partnership  properties  except where  improvements are expected to increase the
competitiveness  and marketability of the properties,  arranging  financing from
affiliates or the ultimate sale of the properties.

The Partnership  has determined to begin orderly  liquidation of all its assets.
Although  there can be no assurance as to the timing of the  liquidation  due to
real estate  market  conditions,  the general  difficulty  of  disposing of real
estate,  and  other  general  economic  factors,  it is  anticipated  that  such
liquidation  would result in the  dissolution of the  Partnership  followed by a
liquidating  distribution  to the limited  partners by  December  1999.  In this
regard,  the Partnership placed Northwest Plaza on the market for sale effective
August 1, 1997.

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,

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.


<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.  On
October  31,  1997,  the  Plaintiffs  filed a second  consolidated  and  amended
complaint.  Defendants intend to file a demurrer to the second  consolidated and
amended complaint on or before December 1, 1997.
