                      MCNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XXIII, L.P.
                             (Debtor-in-Possession)

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

                                 June 30, 1995

NOTE 1.
------

McNeil Real Estate Partners XXIII, L.P., (the "Partnership"),  formerly known as
Southmark  Realty Partners III, Ltd. was organized on March 4, 1985 as a limited
partnership under the provisions of the California  Revised Limited  Partnership
Act to acquire and operate  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
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, 1995 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the year ending
December 31, 1995.

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,  1994,  and the  notes  thereto,  as  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  which is available upon request by writing
to McNeil Real Estate  XXIII,  L.P.,  c/o McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.,
Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
------

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Partnership  will  continue as a going  concern.  The  Partnership  has suffered
recurring  losses from  operations and has relied on advances from affiliates to
meet  its  debt  obligations  and to  fund  capital  improvements.  There  is no
guarantee that such advances will continue to be available. As discussed in Note
6, the  Partnership  has filed a Voluntary  Petition  for  reorganization  under
Chapter  11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court.  The  Partnership's  First
Amended Plan of Reorganization  (the  "Reorganization  Plan") was filed with the
Bankruptcy  Court  on  February  13,  1995,  and  the  Partnership's  Disclosure
Statement of  Debtor-in-Possession  (the "Disclosure Statement") was approved by
the Bankruptcy  Court on February 14, 1995. The Partnership is operating in this
Chapter  11  proceeding  as a  debtor-in-possession.  Accordingly,  the  General
Partner has  continued  to manage the  business  and affairs of the  Partnership
subject to the  jurisdiction  and  supervision  of the United States  Bankruptcy
Court - Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court").

Additionally,  the Partnership is involved in certain  litigation,  the ultimate
outcome of which could result in a significant  loss to the  Partnership.  These
conditions raise substantial  doubt about the Partnership's  ability to continue
as a going concern. The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared on
the basis of  accounting  principles  applicable to a going concern that presume
the  realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary  course
of business, rather than through a process of forced liquidations.  Accordingly,
the statements do not include any adjustments  relating to the realizable values
of all assets or the settlement amounts of all liabilities.

Under the  bankruptcy  proceedings,  certain  liabilities  have priority and the
payment  of certain  other  liabilities  existing  at June 30,  1994,  have been
deferred.  Such  liabilities  have been set forth  separately  in the  financial
statements.

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

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts for its residential  properties to McNeil Real Estate Management,  Inc.
("McREMI"),  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner,  for  providing  property
management and leasing services. Due to the bankruptcy proceedings, the property
management  fees paid by  Woodbridge  Apartments  were  reduced to 3%  beginning
December 1, 1994.

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

The  Partnership  is incurring 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 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.   Total  accrued  but  unpaid  asset  management  fees  of  $371,177  were
outstanding at June 30, 1995.

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.  There is no assurance that
the Partnership  will receive any additional funds under the facility because no
amounts have been reserved for any particular partnership.  As of June 30, 1995,
$2,362,004  remained  available  for  borrowing  under  the  facility;  however,
additional  funds could become  available as other  partnerships  repay existing
borrowings.

The General Partner has, in its discretion, advanced funds to the Partnership to
meet its working capital requirements.  These advances,  which are unsecured and
due on demand,  accrue  interest at a rate equal to the prime  lending rate plus
1%.

McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV,  L.P.,  an affiliate  which owns a phase of Harbour
Club  Apartments,  has advanced  funds to the  Partnership  for working  capital
requirements.  The  advance,  which  is  unsecured  and due on  demand,  accrues
interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate plus 1%.

The total  advances  from  affiliates  at June 30,  1995 and  December  31, 1994
consist of the following:

</TABLE>

The payable to  affiliates  - General  Partner at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994 consisted  primarily of unpaid asset management fees,  property  management
fees and partnership general and administrative expenses.

As  discussed  in Note 6,  Advances  from  affiliates  - General  Partners and a
portion of Payable to  affiliates  - General  Partner  have been  classified  as
unsecured  claims and are deferred under the Chapter 11 proceedings,  therefore,
the amounts due have been reclassified as "Liabilities subject to compromise" on
the financial statements for the Partnership.

NOTE 6.
------

One of the Partnership's  properties,  Woodbridge Apartments,  was encumbered by
two mortgage notes payable.  The first lien mortgage note payable was co-insured
by the Federal  Housing  Administration  and was,  therefore,  regulated  by the
Department of Housing and Urban  Development  ("HUD").  The second lien mortgage
note payable, in the amount of $982,260,  was payable in monthly installments of
interest  only and payments were limited to "surplus  cash",  as defined by HUD,
and as calculated at June 30 and December 31 of each year. No "surplus cash" had
been  available to make the interest  payments on the second lien and therefore,
the  Partnership  ceased making such payments in April 1994. The Partnership was
unsuccessful in attempting to negotiate a restructuring  of the mortgage and the
second lienholder was expected to initiate foreclosure proceedings. In an effort
to prevent the loss of the property,  the Partnership filed a Voluntary Petition
for  reorganization  under  Chapter 11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court,
Northern District of Texas on June 30, 1994.

As a result  of its  Chapter  11  proceeding,  the  realization  of  assets  and
liquidation  of  liabilities  attributable  to the  Partnership  are  subject to
significant  uncertainties.   The  Partnership's  financial  statements  include
adjustments  and  reclassifications  to reflect the  liabilities  that have been
deferred under the Chapter 11 proceeding as "Liabilities subject to compromise."

The  Partnership's  First Amended Plan of  Reorganization  (the  "Reorganization
Plan")  was filed  with the  Bankruptcy  Court on  February  13,  1995,  and the
Partnership's  Disclosure  Statement of  Debtor-in-Possession  (the  "Disclosure
Statement") was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on February 14, 1995.

The Partnership's  Reorganization  Plan and Disclosure  Statement were submitted
February 20, 1995 to a vote of the impaired creditors,  as defined. The impaired
creditors  included a class of creditors  who had filed a judgment  lien against
Woodbridge  Apartments in connection with the Illinois rescission suit (See Note
7).  The  judgment  lien  creditors  filed  objections  to  confirmation  of the
Reorganization Plan. On


<PAGE>


April 12,  1995,  the  Bankruptcy  Court did grant the order to sell  Woodbridge
Apartments but denied  confirmation of the Reorganization  Plan. The Partnership
filed an appeal of the Court's ruling and, in the meantime,  attempted to settle
the matter with the judgment lien creditors,  which would allow for confirmation
of the Reorganization Plan. On May 10, 1995, the Reorganization Plan was amended
to provide for full payment to the judgment lien creditors.  The  Reorganization
Plan, as amended, was subsequently  confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 23,
1995.

Woodbridge  Apartments  was sold on May 23,  1995 and,  in  accordance  with the
Reorganization  Plan,  the  first and  second  mortgage  notes  and the  related
outstanding  accrued interest were paid. The Partnership also utilized  $156,566
of the  proceeds  from  the sale to pay the  settlement  and  legal  fees to the
judgment lien creditors, as discussed above.

On or before 120 days after the date the Reorganization  Plan is confirmed,  the
Partnership  will  send an  election  form for each  limited  partner  to choose
whether to redeem their interest in the Partnership.  The election to redeem the
limited  partner  interests  must be returned to the  Partnership  within thirty
days. The redemption price would be 1/1000th of a cent per Unit. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the  Reorganization  Plan, if the Partnership is not able
to secure a  "no-action"  letter from the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC")  in a form  satisfactory  to the  Partnership  in its sole and  absolute
discretion,  then this  election  shall be void and the  limited  partners  will
retain their interests.  The "no-action" letter shall, at a minimum, provide (1)
that  the  purchase  of  partnership   interests  can  be  accomplished  without
compliance  with Rule 13e-3 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and (2) that
the SEC has not been  advised by the  Division  of the SEC issuing the letter to
pursue an enforcement action if the Reorganization  Plan is consummated.  In the
event that a "no-action" letter satisfactory to the Partnership is not issued by
the SEC,  the limited  partners  shall retain  their  interests.  If one hundred
percent  (100%) of the limited  partners  elect to redeem their  interest or the
General Partner of the Partnership determines that the level of redemption could
potentially  result in the treatment of the Partnership as a corporation for tax
purposes, then this provision shall be void and the limited partners will retain
their interests.

The  Partnership's   financial   statements  include  the  accounts  of  Beckley
Associates Limited Partnership.  Beckley Associates,  which owns Harbour Club II
Apartments,  is wholly-owned by the Partnership and the General Partner. Beckley
Associates  was not included in the  bankruptcy  filing.  Summarized  below is a
statement  of assets,  liabilities  and  partners'  equity of the portion of the
Partnership  included in the Chapter 11  reorganization as of June 30, 1995, and
the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995,  prepared on a
going  concern  basis.  The  assets,  liabilities  and  transactions  of Beckley
Associates have been excluded.

NOTE 7.
------

Robert and Jeanette  Kotowski,  et al, v.  Southmark  Realty  Partners III, Ltd.
(presently  known  as  McNeil  Real  Estate  Fund  XXIII,  L.P.)  and  Southmark
Investment  Group 85, Inc. The  plaintiffs  sought  rescission,  pursuant to the
Illinois Securities Act, of principal invested in McNeil Real Estate Fund XXIII,
L.P.  and other  relief  including  damages  for  breach of  fiduciary  duty and
violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive  Business  Practices Act.
The defendants  filed an answer denying all of the  allegations set forth in the
plaintiff's  complaint.  The defendants  filed a motion to dismiss the case, and
two out of the three counts were  dismissed.  The remaining count was limited to
the plaintiffs  who purchased the securities  within three years of the date the
suit was filed. In this regard,  the Partnership  agreed to rescind 76,000 Units
and  settled  claims  totaling  $116,374.  The claims  consisted  of the $76,000
original purchase price of the units plus $51,395 interest less distributions of
$11,021   previously   paid.  The  $64,979   original   purchase  price  net  of
distributions  paid was charged to limited partners' deficit in 1991 and accrued
interest was charged to interest  expense in 1993,  1992 and 1991.  On September
15, 1992, the Partnership  entered into an agreement with the plaintiffs whereby
the  Partnership  agreed to pay the settled claims over 60 months at an interest
rate of 8%, and pursuant to terms and  conditions as outlined in the  agreement.
The  Partnership  made the first two payments due under the agreement;  however,
the October 1993 installment and both installments due during 1994 were not made
due to the lack of funds available to the Partnership.  An appeal had been filed
by the  plaintiffs who lost on the two dismissed  counts.  On November 30, 1992,
the Court  dismissed all but $116,374 of claims that had previously  been agreed
to by the  Partnership.  The plaintiffs  presented,  on February 3, 1995,  their
motion to file an amended  consolidated  class action complaint and, on February
15, 1995, their motion to certify a class. The Partnership's Reorganization Plan
and  Disclosure  Statement  were  submitted  February  20, 1995 to a vote of the
impaired creditors,  as defined. The plaintiffs filed objections to confirmation
of the Partnership's  First Amended Plan of  Reorganization.  On April 12, 1995,
the  Bankruptcy  Court did grant the  order to sell  Woodbridge  Apartments  but
denied confirmation of the Reorganization  Plan. The Partnership filed an appeal
of the Court's ruling and, in the meantime,  attempted to settle the matter with
the plaintiffs,  which would allow for confirmation of the Reorganization  Plan.
On May 10, 1995, the Reorganization Plan was amended to provide for full payment
to the plaintiffs,  including legal costs. The Reorganization  Plan, as amended,
was  subsequently  confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 23, 1995 and on June
2, 1995 the Partnership paid $156,566 to the plaintiffs.


ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
------        ----------------------------------------------------------------
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              ---------------------

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

Net income for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1995 was  $243,837  and
$101,107, respectively, as compared to a net loss of $246,144 and $1,176,731 for
the same periods of 1994.

The  Partnership  ceased making the interest only payments on the second lien on
the  Woodbridge  Apartments in April 1994 which  constituted a default under the
mortgage agreement.  The Partnership was unsuccessful in attempting to negotiate
a  restructuring  of the  mortgage,  and the second  lienholder  was expected to
initiate  foreclosure  proceedings.  Accordingly,  the  Partnership  recorded  a
write-down  for  permanent  impairment  of real estate of $661,921 on Woodbridge
Apartments  during the first  quarter of 1994, to write down the property to its
estimated  net  realizable  value.  In an  effort  to  prevent  the  loss of the
property,  the Partnership filed a Voluntary Petition for  reorganization  under
Chapter 11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court,  Northern District of Texas on
June 30, 1994. In January  1995,  the  Partnership  received an offer to buy the
property from an  unaffiliated  third party for a purchase price that was higher
than its book value, after the write-down.  The sale closed on May 23, 1995, and
the  Partnership  recorded  a gain on the  sale  of  $554,047.  The  Partnership
recorded  $837,024 of revenue  and  $343,083  of expense  related to  Woodbridge
Apartments during the first six months of 1995.

Harbour Club II is part of a four-phase apartment complex located in Belleville,
Michigan.  Phases I and III of the  complex are owned by  partnerships  in which
McNeil  Partners,  L.P.  is the  general  partner;  while  Phase  IV is owned by
University Real Estate Fund 12, Ltd.,  ("UREF 12"). McREMI had been managing all
four phases of the complex until  December  1992,  when the property  management
agreement  between  McREMI and UREF 12 was  canceled.  Additionally,  in January
1993,  Phase I defaulted  on the mortgage  loan to HUD and unless a  refinancing
agreement  can  be  reached  with  the  lender,   the  property  is  subject  to
foreclosure.  If Phase I is lost to foreclosure, it would be extremely difficult
to operate Phases II and III because the pool and clubhouse are located in Phase
I.

Harbour  Club II had an  improved  average  occupancy  of 91% for the  first six
months of 1995 as compared to an average occupancy of 87% for the same period of
1994.  Harbour Club II was able to provide  enough cash flow from  operations to
meet  ordinary  operating  expenses as well as the debt  service for its related
mortgage during the first six months of 1995;  however,  the property is in need
of major  capital  repairs  and  improvements  in order to  compete in its local
market.   The  Partnership  is  seeking   alternatives  to  fund  the  necessary
improvements, but at this time no sources have been found.

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

Revenue:

Total  Partnership  revenues were $987,607 and  $1,480,189 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995,  respectively,  as compared to $476,901 and $920,771
for the same  periods of 1994.  The revenue  for the three and six months  ended
June 30, 1995 includes  $554,047 gain from the sale of Woodbridge  Apartments on
May 23, 1995.

Expenses:

Total  expenses were $743,770 and  $1,379,082 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to $723,045 and $2,097,502 for the same
periods of 1994. The 1994 expenses  include a $661,921  write-down for permanent
impairment  of real  estate  related to  Woodbridge  Apartments.  As  previously
discussed,  Woodbridge  Apartments was sold on May 23, 1995,  therefore the 1995
expenses include only five months of activity related to Woodbridge.

Interest -  affiliates  decreased  $85,414  and  $156,213  for the three and six
months  ended June 30,  1995,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods of
1994. The decrease was due to the decrease in the balance of advances  purchased
by the General Partner which were contributed to the Partnership in June 1994.

Property taxes decreased  $16,299 and $26,814 for the three and six months ended
June 30,  1995,  respectively,  primarily  due to reduced tax expense at Harbour
Club II  Apartments.  The  remaining  decrease is due to the sale of  Woodbridge
Apartments.

Repairs and maintenance  expense  decreased $7,812 and increased $13,127 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively,  as compared to the same
periods of 1994. Carpet and appliance replacements at Harbour Club II Apartments
increased due to increased  occupancy as well as a renovation of vacant units to
improve  marketability.  This increase was offset  during the second  quarter of
1995 by the sale of Woodbridge Apartments.

Other property operating expense decreased $38,165 and $34,988 for the three and
six  months  ended  June 30,  1995,  as  compared  to the same  periods  of 1994
primarily  due to a decrease  in legal and bad debt  expense at Harbour  Club II
Apartments  that  has  resulted  from  the  improved   economic   conditions  in
Belleville, Michigan, where the property is located.



<PAGE>


General and  administrative  expense increased $53,676 and $50,050 for the three
and six months  ended June 30,  1995,  as  compared  to the same period of 1994.
During the second quarter of 1995, the  Partnership  incurred  $41,136 for legal
fees related to the settlement of the judgment lien rendered in connection  with
the Illinois rescission suit (see Item 1 - Note 2 and Note 7). No such fees were
incurred  during 1994.  The remaining  increase is primarily due to higher audit
fees.

During  the  second  quarter  of 1995,  the  Partnership  incurred  $170,566  of
reorganization   expense  for  legal  and  professional   fees  related  to  the
Partnership's bankruptcy proceeding. No such expenses were incurred in 1994.

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

The  Partnership  was provided with $19,480 of cash flow from operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to $72,167 of cash used in operations
for the same period of 1994. Cash received from tenants increased  primarily due
to the improved occupancy at Harbour Club II Apartments.  Cash paid to suppliers
decreased due to the sale of Woodbridge Apartments. During 1994, the Partnership
paid approximately $13,000 of property management fees accrued in the prior year
for  Harbour  Club  II  Apartments.  The  remaining  decrease  in  cash  paid to
affiliates is due to the reduced management fee rate for Woodbridge Apartments.

The minimal cash  balances of the  Partnership  have  continued to limit capital
improvements.  Additions to real estate totaled $24,417 for the first six months
of 1995 as  compared to $18,446  for the same  period of 1994.  The  Partnership
received $319,672 of proceeds from the sale of Woodbridge Apartments. The use of
these proceeds is restricted by the Bankruptcy Court.

During  the first six  months  of 1994,  the  Partnership  received  $54,604  of
advances  from  affiliates  of  the  General  Partner  to  fund  operating  cash
shortfalls.  The  Partnership has received no such advances during the first six
months of 1995.

At June 30, 1995, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $385,798, of
which  $323,716 was in  segregated  accounts  which have been  restricted by the
Bankruptcy  Court,  and  accordingly  was not  available  for general use by the
Partnership.

Short-term liquidity
--------------------

As previously  discussed in Item 1 - Note 6, the  Partnership is operating under
Chapter 11 proceedings as a debtor-in-possession. On May 23, 1995, in accordance
with the  Reorganization  Plan, the Partnership  sold Woodbridge  Apartments.  A
portion of the net proceeds  from the sale of the property  were used to pay the
settlement  and  related  legal  fees  of  the  judgment  lien  creditors.   The
Partnership  is currently  awaiting the Final  Resolution  of Fees & Expenses in
order  to  distribute  funds  to the  remaining  creditors  as  outlined  in the
Reorganization Plan.

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.  There is no assurance that
the Partnership  will receive any additional funds under the facility because no
amounts have been reserved for any particular partnership.  As of June 30, 1995,
$2,362,004  remained  available  for  borrowing  under  the  facility;  however,
additional  funds could become  available as other  partnerships  repay existing
borrowings.  Additionally, the General Partner has, at its discretion,  advanced
funds to the  Partnership  in addition to the  revolving  credit  facility.  The
General  Partner is not obligated to advance funds to the  Partnership and there
is no assurance that the Partnership will receive additional funds.

The  balance  of cash and cash  equivalents  can be  considered  no more  than a
minimum level of cash reserves for the  properties  operations.  For the rest of
1995, operations of Harbour Club II Apartments is expected to provide sufficient
positive cash flow for normal operating expenses and debt service

<PAGE>


payments.  However,  any needed  capital  improvements  will  require the use of
existing  cash  reserves or other  sources of cash.  No such  sources  have been
identified.  The  Partnership  has no  established  lines of credit from outside
sources. Although affiliates of the Partnership have previously funded such cash
deficits, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will receive additional
funds Other possible actions to resolve cash deficiencies include  refinancings,
deferring  capital   expenditures  on  the  Partnership  property  except  where
improvements are expected to enhance the  competitiveness  and  marketability of
the property,  or property sale. A sale or refinancing of the property is only a
possibility.

Long-term liquidity
-------------------

The Partnership has been in a distressed cash situation for several years. After
the sale of Woodbridge  Apartments,  the Partnership has one remaining property,
Harbour Club II Apartments.  Although Harbour Club II is able to operate in such
a manner to provide  for  operating  expenses  and debt  service  payments,  the
property has not proven the  capability  to produce the cash flow  necessary for
capital  improvements  nor to support  Partnership  general  and  administrative
operations.  The inability to make  necessary  capital  improvements  has led to
deteriorating  conditions  at the  property.  In the opinion of  management,  if
capital improvements are not made to make the property more marketable,  the net
realizable value of the property may be further impaired.

These  conditions raise  substantial  doubt about the  Partnership's  ability to
continue  as a going  concern.  The  financial  statements  do not  include  any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Distributions

To maintain adequate cash balances of the Partnership,  distributions to Current
Income Unit holders were suspended in 1988.  There have been no  distribution to
Growth/Shelter  Units  holders.   Distributions  to  Unit  holders  will  remain
suspended for the foreseeable future.
