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 three months ended March 31, 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 $1,012,465  and $876,844 were  outstanding at March 31, 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:

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
$349,565  for the first three  months of 1999 as  compared  to $143,536  for the
first three months of 1998.  Revenue in the first  quarter of 1999  increased to
$2,547,423  from  $2,443,908 in the first quarter of 1998,  and expenses for the
first  quarter of 1999  decreased to  $2,197,858  from  $2,300,372  for the same
period in 1998.

Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  was  $910,596 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The Partnership expended $93,729 for capital improvements,
$16,432 for  principal  payments on its  mortgage  note  payable and $15,700 for
payments  on the  capitalized  land lease  obligation.  After  distributions  of
$995,324 to the limited partners,  cash and cash equivalents  totaled $3,443,780
at March 31, 1999,  a net decrease of $210,589  from the balance at December 31,
1998.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenue:

Total Partnership revenue increased by $103,515 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 as  compared  to the same period in 1998,  mainly due to an increase in
rental revenue, as discussed below.

Rental  revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999  increased by $100,459
in relation to the comparable period in 1998. Rental revenue increased at all of
the Partnership's  properties in 1999. The largest  increases,  of approximately
$51,000, $18,000 and $15,000,  occurred at the Kellogg Building,  Harbour Club I
Apartments  and Century  Park Office  Building,  respectively,  mainly due to an
increase in rental rates charged to tenants.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  decreased by $102,514  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to the same period in 1998.

General and  administrative  expenses in the first quarter of 1999  decreased by
$37,873,  as compared to the same period in 1998. The decrease was mainly due to
a greater amount of costs incurred in 1998 to explore  alternatives  to maximize
the value of the Partnership (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).

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

Cash flow provided by operating  activities totaled $910,596 for the first three
months of 1999 as compared to $827,014  provided during the same period in 1998.
The increase in cash from  operations  was  partially due to an increase in cash
received  from  tenants  and a  decrease  in cash paid to  suppliers  (see above
discussion   of  increase  in  rental   revenue  and  decrease  in  general  and
administrative  expenses).   These  increases  in  cash  provided  by  operating
activities  during the first three  months of 1999 were  partially  offset by an
increase in cash paid to affiliates during the first three months of 1999.

The  Partnership  expended  $93,729 and $62,109 for additions to its real estate
investments during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
A greater amount was spent in the first quarter of 1999 for tenant  improvements
at Northwest Plaza and for exterior painting at Fidelity Plaza.

The Partnership  distributed  $995,324 and $2,249,990 to the limited partners in
the first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Short-term liquidity:

At March 31, 1999, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $3,443,780.
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.

<PAGE>
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.

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.

As previously announced, the Partnership has retained PaineWebber,  Incorporated
as its exclusive financial advisor to explore alternatives to maximize the value
of the  Partnership,  including,  without  limitation,  a  transaction  in which
limited partnership interests in the Partnership are converted into cash. During
the last full week of March,  the Partnership  entered into a 45 day exclusivity
agreement  with a  well-financed  bidder with whom it had commenced  discussions
with respect to a sale  transaction.  The  Partnership  and such party have made
significant  progress in negotiating the terms of a proposed transaction and are
continuing to have intensive discussions with respect to a transaction. In light
on these continuing  negotiations,  the exclusivity  agreement has been extended
for an  additional  21 days until June 4, 1999.  It is possible that the General
Partner  and its  affiliates  will  receive  non-cash  consideration  for  their
ownership  interests in connection  with any such  transaction.  There can be no
assurance  regarding  whether any such  agreement  will be reached nor the terms
thereof.

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 March 31,  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.


<PAGE>
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.

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  will assess these risks and develop  plans to mitigate
possible failures by July 1999.

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,
Carole J. McNeil,  McNeil Pacific  Investors Fund 1972, Ltd., McNeil Real Estate

XXVII,  L.P., Hearth Hollow  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).

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. 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.

<PAGE>

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 for Final Approval of
Settlement,  initially  scheduled for December 17, 1998,  has been  continued to
July 2, 1999.

Because McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII,  L.P., Hearth Hollow  Associates,  McNeil
Midwest  Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates,  L.P. would be part of
the  transaction  contemplated  in the settlement  and Plaintiffs  claim that an
effort should be made to sell the McNeil Partnerships,  Plaintiffs have included
allegations with respect to McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII,  L.P.,  Hearth Hollow
Associates, McNeil Midwest Properties I, L.P. and Regency North Associates, L.P.
in the third consolidated and amended complaint.

Plaintiff's  counsel  intends  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.
