Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
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. 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, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1999.
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, 1998, 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 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 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 to .75% in 2000,
.50% in 2001 and .25% thereafter. Total accrued but unpaid asset management fees
of $1,379,803 and $876,844 were outstanding at September 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively.
Compensation and reimbursements paid to or accrued for the benefit of the
General Partner or its affiliates are as follows:

NOTE 4.
- -------
On July 30, 1999, the Partnership refinanced Harbour Club I's mortgage note. The
new mortgage note, in the amount of $7,200,000 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 annual principal
payments in an amount necessary to reduce the principal balance of the note by
5% annually. The maturity date of the new mortgage note is August 1, 2002. Cash
proceeds from the refinancing transaction are as follows:
New mortgage note proceeds........................... $ 7,200,000
Amount required to payoff existing debt.............. 7,055,218
-------------
Cash proceeds from refinancing....................... $ 144,782
=============
The Partnership incurred $75,583 of deferred borrowing costs related to the
refinancing of Harbour Club I's mortgage note.
<PAGE>
In connection with the refinancing of the Harbour Club I mortgage note, the
Partnership wrote off the balance of unamortized deferred borrowing costs
associated with the prior mortgage note. The write-off, in the amount of
$218,404, is reported as an extraordinary item on the Partnership's Statement of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
NOTE 5.
- -------
On June 24, 1999, the Partnership and 18 affiliated partnerships, collectively
(the "Partnerships"), the General Partner, McNeil Investors, Inc., McNeil Real
Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"), McNeil Summerhill, Inc. and Robert A. McNeil
entered into a definitive acquisition agreement (the "Master Agreement") with
WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. ("Newco"), an affiliate of Whitehall Street Real Estate
Limited Partnership XI, a real estate investment fund managed by Goldman, Sachs
& Co., whereby Newco and its subsidiaries will acquire the Partnerships. The
Master Agreement provides that the Partnerships will be merged with subsidiaries
of Newco. The Master Agreement also provides for the acquisition by Newco and
its subsidiaries of the assets of McREMI. The aggregate consideration in the
transaction, including the assumption or prepayment of all outstanding mortgage
debt of the Partnerships, is approximately $644,440,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, the limited partners in the
Partnership will receive cash on the closing date of the transaction (the
"Closing Date") in exchange for their limited partnership interests. In
addition, the Partnership will declare a special distribution to its limited
partners on the Closing Date equal to its then positive net working capital
balance, if any. The estimated aggregate consideration and net working capital
distribution to be received per unit of limited partnership interest in the
Partnership were estimated as $0.50.
The above estimates of the Partnership per unit estimated merger consideration
and working capital distribution and the interest of McNeil Partners, L.P. are
based upon, among other things, the balance sheet of the Partnership as of March
31, 1999, adjusted for intangible assets, non-cash liabilities, transaction
expenses and the McNeil Partners, L.P. interest in the Partnership. Actual
amounts, including the estimate allocable to McNeil Partners, L.P., will vary
with the performance of the Partnership and McNeil Partners, L.P. through the
closing date. The above estimated merger consideration and special working
capital distribution will be adjusted at closing to reflect the then working
capital position of the Partnership.
On the Closing Date, the General Partner of the Partnership, will receive an
equity interest in Newco in exchange for its contribution to Newco of the
general partnership interests in the Partnerships, the limited partnership
interests in Fairfax Associates II L.P. and McNeil Summerhill Associates and the
assets of McREMI.
The Partnership's participation in the transaction is subject to, among other
conditions, the approval by a majority of the limited partners of the
Partnership.
In some circumstances, as defined in the Master Agreement, the Partnerships may
be subject to a break-up fee, up to an aggregate maximum of $18,000,000, if the
Master Agreement is terminated with respect to one or more of the Partnerships.
In the case of termination of the Master Agreement in these circumstances, each
of the Partnerships with respect to which the Master Agreement has been
terminated will be severally, but not jointly, liable for payment to Newco of
its respective break-up fee. The break-up fee ratably calculated for the
Partnership is $1,400,540.
<PAGE>
All previous costs associated with this transaction had been allocated among the
Partnerships and McREMI based on the relative number of properties contained
therein. On June 24, 1999, a fairness opinion (the "Fairness Opinion") was
rendered by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., an independent financial advisor, to
the effect that the aggregate consideration to be paid for the general
partnership interests and limited partnership interests in all of the
Partnerships and the assets of McREMI is fair from a financial point of view to
the holders of each class of limited partnership interests. Based on the
relative values as set forth in the Fairness Opinion, the Partnership recorded
an adjustment to general and administrative expenses and accounts payable and
accrued expenses during the second quarter of 1999 in the amount of $110,931 to
reflect the reallocation of previously paid transaction costs among the
Partnerships and McREMI.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------- -----------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
There has been no significant change in the operations of the Partnership's
properties since December 31, 1998. The Partnership reported net income of
$382,543 for the first nine months of 1999 as compared to $776,142 for the first
nine months of 1998. Revenue for the first nine months of 1999 was $7,699,873 as
compared to $7,667,522 for the first nine months of 1998, and expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased to $7,098,926 from $6,891,380 for
the same period in 1998.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,842,850 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The Partnership expended $690,620 for capital
improvements, $75,583 for deferred borrowing costs, $38,892 for principal
payments on its mortgage note payable and $50,503 for payments on the
capitalized land lease obligation. The Partnership received $144,782 in proceeds
from the refinancing of the Harbour Club I mortgage note payable. After
distributions of $995,324 to the limited partners, cash and cash equivalents
totaled $4,791,079 at September 30, 1999, a net increase of $1,136,710 from the
balance at December 31, 1998.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------
On June 24, 1999, McNeil Partners, L.P. (the General Partner of the Partnership)
and WXI/McN Realty L.L.C., an affiliate of Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited
Partnership XI ("Whitehall"), a real estate investment fund managed by Goldman,
Sachs & Co., announced that they have entered into a definitive acquisition
agreement whereby the Whitehall affiliate will acquire by merger nineteen real
estate limited partnerships operated by McNeil Partners, L.P. and Robert A.
McNeil. The limited partnerships involved are the Partnership and McNeil Real
Estate Funds IX, X, XI, XII, XIV, XV, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXVI and
XXVII, Hearth Hollow Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P., Regency
North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill (collectively, the
"Partnerships"). The Partnerships (other than Fairfax Associates and McNeil
Summerhill which are wholly-owned by Robert A. McNeil and related parties) will
<PAGE>
be merged with subsidiaries of WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. The acquisition agreement
also provides for the acquisition by WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. of the assets of
McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. ("McREMI"). The aggregate consideration in
the transaction, including all outstanding mortgage debt of the Partnerships, is
approximately $644,440,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the limited partners in each
of the Partnerships (other than those wholly-owned by Robert A. McNeil) will
receive cash on the closing date of the transaction in exchange for their
limited partnership interests. In addition, each Partnership will make a special
distribution to its limited partners on the closing date of the transaction
equal to its then net positive working capital balance. McNeil Partners, L.P.
will receive an equity interest in WXI/McN Realty L.L.C. in exchange for its
contribution of its general partnership interests in the Partnerships, the
limited partnership interests in its wholly-owned Partnerships and the assets of
McREMI.
The proposed transaction follows an extensive marketing effort by PaineWebber
Incorporated, exclusive financial advisor to the Partnerships.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of
McNeil Investors, Inc., the general partner of McNeil Partners, L.P., the
general partner of each of the Partnerships other than Regency North Associates,
Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill. The respective general partners of
Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil Summerhill also have
approved the transaction. The Board of Directors of McNeil Investors, Inc. based
its approval upon, among other things, the recommendation of a Special Committee
of the Board, appointed at the beginning of the discussions with Whitehall to
represent the interests of holders of limited partnership interests in each of
the Partnerships. In addition, the Special Committee and the Board relied upon
fairness opinions given by Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger & Co."), an
independent financial advisor to the Partnerships, to the effect that the
aggregate consideration is fair to the holders of each class of limited
partnership interests in each of the Partnerships. The Special Committee's
recommendation was also based upon the separate opinions of Eastdil Realty
Company ("Eastdil"), the independent financial advisor to the Special Committee.
Stanger & Co. and Eastdil have each also rendered an opinion that the aggregate
consideration to be paid for the general partnership interests and limited
partnership interests in all of the Partnerships and the assets of McREMI is
fair from a financial point of view to the holders of each class of limited
partnership interests in each of the Partnerships.
Each of the Partnerships' participation in the transaction is subject to, among
other conditions, the approval by a majority of the limited partners of the
respective Partnerships. The approval of the limited partners of the
Partnerships will be sought at meetings to be held in the coming months after
the filing of proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to the publicly traded Partnerships, and the subsequent mailing of proxy
statements to the limited partners. Preliminary proxy statements were filed with
the SEC on August 3, 1999 and amended proxy statements were filed September 30,
1999, October 21, 1999 and November 10, 1999.
The aggregate consideration in the transaction has been allocated preliminarily
among the general partnership interests and the limited partnership interests in
each of the Partnerships and McREMI, based upon an allocation analysis prepared
by Stanger & Co. and confirmed by Eastdil. Based upon this allocation analysis
and the fairness opinions rendered by Stanger & Co. and Eastdil, the Special
Committee, the Board of Directors of McNeil Investors, Inc., the respective
<PAGE>
general partners of Regency North Associates, Fairfax Associates and McNeil
Summerhill have each unanimously approved the allocation of the aggregate
consideration. The estimated aggregate consideration and working capital
distribution to be received per unit of limited partnership interest of the
Partnership were estimated as $0.50.
McNeil Partners, L.P. will contribute its real estate investment and management
company business to a subsidiary of WXI/McN Realty, L.L.C., along with its
general partnership interests in the Partnerships and its limited partnership
interests in the wholly-owned Partnerships, having an aggregate allocated value,
as determined by Stanger & Co., of approximately $58,640,000, of which
approximately $29,400,000 reflects balances due to McNeil Partners, L.P. and
McREMI as reflected on the Partnerships' financial statements as of March 31,
1999.
The above estimates of the Partnership per unit estimated merger consideration
and working capital distribution and the interest of McNeil Partners, L.P. are
based upon, among other things, the balance sheet of the Partnership as of March
31, 1999, adjusted for intangible assets, non-cash liabilities, transaction
expenses and the McNeil Partners, L.P. interest in the Partnership. Actual
amounts, including the estimate allocable to McNeil Partners, L.P., will vary
with the performance of the Partnership and McNeil Partners, L.P. through the
closing date. The above estimated merger consideration and special working
capital distribution will be adjusted at closing to reflect the then working
capital position of the Partnership.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenue:
Total Partnership revenue decreased by $3,742 for the three month period and
increased by $32,351 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to the same periods in 1998, as discussed below.
Interest income increased by $14,967 and $36,570 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1998,
due to an increase in cash available for short-term investment. The Partnership
held approximately $4.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30,
1999 as compared to approximately $2.9 million at September 30, 1998.
In the second quarter of 1998, the Partnership recognized $126,035 of other
revenue consisting of the collection of tenant accounts receivable that had
previously been written off. No such other revenue was recognized in the first
nine months of 1999.
Expenses:
Total expenses increased by $75,269 for the three month period and by $207,546
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same
periods in 1998. The increase was mainly due to an increase in general and
administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1999, as discussed below.
<PAGE>
General and administrative expenses increased by $73,870 and $206,682 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively, as compared to the
same periods in 1998. The increase was mainly due to a $110,931 reallocation of
previously paid transaction costs among the Partnerships and McREMI in the
second quarter of 1999, as discussed in Item 1, Note 5. In addition, there was
an increase in costs related to this transaction in the first nine months of
1999.
In connection with the refinancing of the Harbour Club I mortgage note, the
Partnership wrote off the balance of unamortized deferred borrowing costs
associated with the prior mortgage note. The write-off, in the amount of
$218,404, is reported as an extraordinary item on the Partnership's Statement of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. No such extraordinary
loss was recognized in the first nine months of 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $2,842,850 for the first nine
months of 1999, comparable to the $3,065,638 provided during the same period in
1998.
The Partnership expended $690,620 and $335,796 for additions to its real estate
investments and asset held for sale during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. A greater amount was spent in the first nine months
of 1999 for tenant improvements at Northwest Plaza, Century Park, Kellogg Office
Building and Fidelity Plaza and for lobby renovations at Fidelity Plaza.
In the first nine months of 1999, the Partnership incurred costs of $75,583 and
received net proceeds of $144,782 related to the refinancing of the Harbour Club
I mortgage note payable.
The Partnership distributed $995,324 and $2,747,653 to the limited partners in
the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Short-term liquidity:
At September 30, 1999, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of
$4,791,079. This balance provides a reasonable level of working capital for the
Partnership's immediate needs in operating its properties.
For the Partnership as a whole, management projects positive cash flow from
operations for the remainder of 1999. Only one property, Harbour Club I
Apartments, is encumbered with mortgage debt and another property, Fidelity
Plaza, is encumbered with lease obligations. Capital improvements for all
properties in 1999 are 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. See "Recent Developments"
above.
The Partnership placed Northwest Plaza on the market for sale effective August
1, 1997.
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, 1999. 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.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
- --------------------
State of readiness
- ------------------
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.
Management has assessed its information technology ("IT") infrastructure to
identify any systems that could be affected by the year 2000 problem. The IT
used by the Partnership for financial reporting and significant accounting
functions was made year 2000 compliant during recent systems conversions. The
software utilized for these functions is licensed by third party vendors who
have warranted that their systems are year 2000 compliant.
Management is in the process of evaluating the mechanical and embedded
technological systems at the various properties. Management has inventoried all
such systems and queried suppliers, vendors and manufacturers to determine year
2000 compliance. Based on this review, management believes these systems are
substantially compliant. 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.
<PAGE>
Cost
- ----
The cost of IT and embedded technology systems testing and upgrades is not
expected to be material to the Partnership. Because all the IT systems have been
upgraded over the last three years, all such systems were compliant, or made
compliant at no additional cost by third party vendors. Management anticipates
the costs of assessing, testing, and if necessary replacing embedded technology
components will be less than $50,000. Such costs will be funded from operations
of the Partnership.
Risks
- -----
Ultimately, the potential impact of the year 2000 issue will depend not only on
the corrective measures the Partnership undertakes, but also on the way in which
the year 2000 issue is addressed by government agencies and entities that
provide services or supplies to the Partnership. Management has not determined
the most likely worst case scenario to the Partnership. As management studies
the findings of its property systems assessment and testing, management will
develop a better understanding of what would be the worst case scenario.
Management believes that progress on all areas is proceeding and that the
Partnership will experience no adverse effect as a result of the year 2000
issue. However, there is no assurance that this will be the case.
Contingency plans
- -----------------
Management is developing contingency plans to address potential year 2000
non-compliance of IT and embedded technology systems. Management believes that
failure of any IT system could have an adverse impact on operations. However,
management believes that alternative systems are available that could be
utilized to minimize such impact. Management believes that any failure in the
embedded technology systems could have an adverse impact on that property's
performance. Management has assessed these risks and expects to have contingency
plans in place by December 31, 1999 for any material potential failures.

Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates,
L.P., - Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los
Angeles, Case No. BC133799 (Class and Derivative Action Complaint).
<PAGE>
The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by
limited partners of each of the 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. ("McREMI") 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. 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.
Because the settlement contemplated a transaction which included all of the
Partnerships and plaintiffs claimed that an effort should be made to sell
all of the Partnerships, in or around September 1998, plaintiffs filed a
third consolidated and amended complaint which included allegations with
respect to the Partnerships which had not been named in previously filed
complaints.
On September 15, 1998, the parties signed a Stipulation of Settlement. For
purposes of settlement, the parties stipulated to a class comprised of all
owners of limited partner units in the Partnerships during the period
beginning June 21, 1991, the earliest date that proxy materials began to be
issued in connection with the restructuring of the Partnerships, through
September 15, 1998. As structured, the Stipulation of Settlement provided
for the payment of over $35 million in distributions and the commitment to
market the Partnerships for sale, together with McREMI, through a fair and
impartial bidding process overseen by a national investment banking firm.
To ensure the integrity of that process, defendants agreed, among other
things, to involve plaintiffs' counsel in oversight of that process, and
plaintiffs' counsel retained an independent advisor to represent the
interests of limited partners of the Partnerships in the event of a
transaction. The transaction described in Item 2 - Recent Developments is a
result of that process. The settlement was not conditioned on the
consummation of this transaction.
<PAGE>
On October 6, 1998, the court gave preliminary approval to the settlement.
It granted final approval to the settlement on July 8, 1999 and entered a
Final Order and Judgment dismissing the consolidated action with prejudice.
As a condition of final approval, the court requested, and the parties
agreed to, a slight modification of the release in the Stipulation of
Settlement with respect to future claims. Plaintiffs' counsel intends to
seek an order awarding attorneys' fees and reimbursing their out-of-pocket
expenses in an amount which is as yet undetermined. 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. A Notice of Appeal was filed September 3, 1999
by High River Limited Partnership, Unicorn Associates Corporation and
Longacre Corporation.
2) High River Limited Partnership, Unicorn Associates Corporation and
Longacre Corporation, et al. v. McNeil Partners, L.P. ("MPLP"), McNeil
Investors, Inc., McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. (McREMI"), Robert A.
McNeil and Carole J. McNeil, - Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York, - Index No. 99 603526.
On July 23, 1999, High River and two other affiliates of Carl C. Icahn
(Unicorn Associates Corporation and Longacre Corporation), filed a
complaint for damages in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County
of New York. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants improperly interfered
with tender offers made by High River for limited partner units in the
Partnership and other affiliated partnerships in which MPLP serves as
General Partner (the "McNeil Partnerships"), by, among other things, filing
purportedly frivolous litigation to delay High River's offers, issuing
purportedly false and misleading statements opposing the offers and
purportedly forcing High River itself to file litigation to enforce its
rights. High River also alleges that as a result the defendants caused High
River to incur undue expense and that the defendants ultimately prevented
High River from acquiring a greater number of limited partner units.
Plaintiffs also allege that the defendants improperly excluded High River
from participating in the auction process for the sale of the McNeil
Partnerships, and otherwise took steps to prevent its participation in the
auction. In addition, plaintiffs, who are limited partners in, among
others, McNeil Funds IX, X, XI, XII, XIV, XV, XX, XXIV, XXV, XXVI and
XXVII, have also sued the defendants based on their status as opt-outs from
the Schofield settlement. Plaintiffs seek undisclosed damages and an
accounting.
On July 30, 1999, defendants filed an answer to the High River Complaint,
denying each and every material allegation contained in the High River
Complaint and asserting several affirmative defenses. Settlement
negotiations are underway.
<PAGE>
3) HCW Pension Real Estate Fund, Ltd. et al. v. Ernst & Young, BDO Seidman et
al. (Case #92-06560-A). This suit was filed on behalf of the Partnership
and other affiliated partnerships (as defined in this Section 3, the
"Affiliated Partnerships") on May 26, 1992, in the 14th Judicial District
Court of Dallas County. The petition sought recovery against the
Partnership's former auditors, Ernst & Young, for negligence and fraud in
failing to detect and/or report overcharges of fees/expenses by Southmark,
the former general partner. The former auditors initially asserted
counterclaims against the Affiliated Partnerships based on alleged
fraudulent misrepresentations made to the auditors by the former management
of the Affiliated Partnerships (Southmark) in the form of client
representation letters executed and delivered to the auditors by Southmark
management. The counterclaims sought recovery of attorneys' fees and costs
incurred in defending this action. The counterclaims were later dismissed
on appeal, as discussed below.
The trial court granted summary judgment against the Affiliated
Partnerships based on the statute of limitations; however, on appeal, the
Dallas Court of Appeals reversed the trial court and remanded for trial the
Affiliated Partnerships' fraud claims against Ernst & Young. The Texas
Supreme Court denied Ernst & Young's application for writ of error on
January 11, 1996. Shortly before trial, the district court judge once again
granted summary judgment against the Affiliated Partnerships on December 2,
1996. Hearing and oral argument before the Court of Appeals was heard on
January 26, 1999. Judgment was entered in favor of the partnerships on June
25, 1999 and the case was once again remanded to the Trial Court. The
General Partner is investigating whether it is in the limited partners'
best interest to continue to pursue this case.
