                                   (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 1996

NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real  Estate Fund XXIII,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  formerly  known as
Southmark Realty Partners III, Ltd., was organized on March 4, 1985 as a limited
partnership under 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, 1996, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2.
- -------

The  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements  contained in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year  ended  December  31,  1995,  and the  notes  thereto,  as  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  which is available upon request by writing
to McNeil Real Estate  XXIII,  L.P.,  c/o McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.,
Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, LB70, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
- -------

Certain prior period amounts within the accompanying  financial  statements have
been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

NOTE 4.
- -------

On June 30,  1994,  the  Partnership  filed a voluntary  petition for Chapter 11
reorganization.  (The  petition  for  Chapter  11  reorganization  excluded  the
Partnership's  interest  in Beckley  Associates,  the owner of  Harbour  Club II
Apartments.)   The   Partnership   continued   to  conduct   its  affairs  as  a
debtor-in-possession,  subject  to  the  jurisdiction  and  supervision  of  the
Bankruptcy Court.

The  Partnership's  First Amended Plan of  Reorganization  (the  "Reorganization
Plan"), which contemplated a sale of Woodbridge Apartments, was submitted to the
Bankruptcy Court on February 13, 1995. The Partnership's Disclosure Statement of
Debtor-in-Possession (the "Disclosure Statement") was approved by the Bankruptcy
Court on February 14, 1995.


<PAGE>
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.  The
judgment lien creditors filed  objections to confirmation of the  Reorganization
Plan.  On April  18,  1995,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  did  grant an order to sell
Woodbridge  Apartments but denied  confirmation of the Reorganization  Plan. The
Partnership  filed an  appeal  of the  Bankruptcy  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 17, 1995.

Woodbridge  Apartments  was sold on May 25, 1995,  and, in  accordance  with the
Reorganization Plan, the first and second mortgage notes payable 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  September  11,  1995,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  entered  an  Order  Regarding
Objections  to  Claims  that  allowed  the   Partnership   to  pay   outstanding
pre-petition claims totaling approximately $124,000 in October 1995.

The  Reorganization  Plan specified that advances and fees owed to affiliates of
the General  Partner  were  limited to remaining  cash,  after the  pre-petition
liabilities and  reorganization  expenses were paid. The Partnership had $37,228
of cash available to distribute to affiliate  creditors.  The remaining  amounts
owed to affiliates of the General  Partner as of May 17, 1995,  were  discharged
resulting in an  extraordinary  gain of  $1,435,024  during the third quarter of
1995.

On August 15,  1995,  the  Partnership  sent an  election  form to each  limited
partner  which  allowed them to choose  whether to redeem their  interest in the
Partnership. The redemption price was 1/1000th of a dollar per Unit. The limited
partners were required to respond within 30 days, and at the close of the 30 day
period,  311  limited  partners  had  elected  to  redeem  4,485,345  Units.  In
connection with the redemption,  the partnership  obtained a "no-action"  letter
from the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") that provided that (1) the
redemption  could be  accomplished  without  compliance  with Rule  13e-3 of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  and (2) the SEC did not  intend to pursue an
enforcement action if the Reorganization Plan was consummated. Redemption of the
affected Units was completed in January 1996.

On November 18, 1995, the Partnership  submitted a request for an Application to
Close Case to the Bankruptcy Court,  which was entered on December 11, 1995, and
was approved on February 15, 1996.

Expenses  incurred by the  Partnership in connection  with its Chapter 11 filing
have been expensed as "reorganization  expenses" in the accompanying  Statements
of Operations.








<PAGE>
NOTE 5.
- -------

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts for its properties to McNeil Real Estate Management,  Inc.  ("McREMI"),
an affiliate of the General  Partner,  for  providing  property  management  and
leasing  services.  Due to  the  Partnership's  Chapter  11  Bankruptcy  filing,
property  management  fees for Woodbridge  Apartments  were reduced to 3% of the
property's gross rental receipts beginning December 1, 1994.

The  Partnership  reimburses  McREMI  for  its  costs,  including  overhead,  of
administering the Partnership's  affairs.  Reimbursable costs that were incurred
prior to the Partnership's  bankruptcy  filing, in the amount of $520,902,  were
discharged under terms of the Partnership's Reorganization Plan.

The  Partnership  incurs asset  management fees which are 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. As discussed in Note 4, asset  management fees totaling  $366,329  accrued
prior to the confirmation of the Reorganization Plan were discharged pursuant to
the Reorganization Plan. Total accrued but unpaid asset management fees incurred
subsequent to confirmation of the  Reorganization  Plan in the amount of $83,245
were outstanding at June 30, 1996.

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

NOTE 6.
- -------

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.

Operations  at Harbour Club II  Apartments,  the  Partnership's  sole  remaining
property,  are expected to be sufficient to provide cash for operating  expenses
and debt service for 1996.  However,  the  property is in need of major  capital
improvements  in  order  to  maintain  occupancy  and  rental  rates  at a level
sufficient  to fund  operating  expenses and debt service in future  years.  The
Partnership's   cash  reserves  are   inadequate  to  fund  the  needed  capital
improvements,  and it is unlikely that cash flow from operating  activities will
be sufficient to provide for the needed capital improvements. No outside sources
of financing have been identified.  Although  affiliates of the Partnership have
previously  provided  working  capital  for  the  Partnership,  there  can be no
assurance that the Partnership  will receive  additional  funds from the General
Partner  or  other  affiliates.   Management  is  currently  seeking  additional
financing to fund the needed capital  improvements;  however,  such financing is
not  assured.  If the property is unable to obtain  additional  funds and cannot
maintain  operations at a level to pay operating expenses and debt service,  the
property may ultimately be foreclosed on by the lender.

Harbour Club II Apartments 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") whose general partner is an
affiliate of Southmark Corporation,  the parent corporation of the Partnership's
former general partner.  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 its
mortgage loan to the United States  Department of Housing and Urban  Development
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. As of June 30,  1996,  no steps have been taken  towards
the foreclosure of Phase I.

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.

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

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

The  accompanying   financial   statements  have  been  prepared   assuming  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.

The Partnership's  operating  activities  provided $29,535 for the first half of
1996 as  compared  to  $19,480  provided  in the  first  half of 1995.  With the
disposition  of  Woodbridge  Apartments  on May 25,  1995,  cash  received  from
tenants,  cash paid to  suppliers,  interest  paid and  property  taxes paid and
escrowed decreased.  Cash paid to suppliers decreased further during 1996 due to
the decreased  reorganization expenses relating to the Partnership's  bankruptcy
proceeding.

Cash used for additions to real estate improvements totaled $102,003 for the six
months  ended June 30,  1996 as  compared  to $24,417 for the same period of the
prior  year.  The  Partnership's  capital  budget will  continue  only at a bare
minimum until  additional  financing can be arranged.  The Partnership  received
$319,672 of proceeds  from the sale of Woodbridge  Apartments.  The use of these
proceeds  was  restricted  by the  Bankruptcy  Court for  payment of  bankruptcy
claims.



<PAGE>
Scheduled  principal  payments  through  monthly debt service  payments  totaled
$22,696 for the six months ended June 30,  1996,  down from $36,752 for the same
period of 1995. The decrease is due to the sale of Woodbridge  Apartments in May
1995. In accordance  with terms of the  Partnership's  Reorganization  Plan, the
Partnership  redeemed  4,485,345  limited  partnership  units  from the  limited
partners for a total of $4,480 during the first half of 1996.

Short-term liquidity:

At June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  held $133,578 of cash and cash  equivalents,
down $99,644 from the balance at December 31, 1995. For the balance of 1996, the
General Partner anticipates rental operations at Harbour Club II Apartments will
provide  sufficient  rental  revenue to pay for the  operating  expenses  of the
property and debt service  payments on the property's  mortgage  note.  However,
rental  operations  at  Harbour  Club  II  Apartments  are  not  expected  to be
sufficient to fund necessary capital improvements to the property nor to pay the
Partnership's other expenses. To the extent available,  the Partnership will use
its cash reserves to fund limited  capital  improvements  and the  Partnership's
other expenses.

Although  the  sale of  Woodbridge  Apartments  provided  some  additional  cash
reserves for the  Partnership,  the Partnership  still faces liquidity  problems
because of urgently  needed capital  improvements at Harbour Club II Apartments,
for which no financing has been secured. Operating activities at Harbour Club II
Apartments  for 1996 are expected to provide  sufficient  positive cash flow for
normal operating expenses and debt service payments. However, the needed capital
improvements will require the use of other sources of cash. No such sources have
been identified. The Partnership has no established lines of credit from outside
sources.   Other  possible   actions  to  provide   financing  for  the  capital
improvements may include  refinancing or modifying the property's mortgage debt.
Should such refinancing or modification of Harbour Club II's mortgage debt prove
unfeasible,  the  Partnership  could be forced to either sell the property or to
relinquish control of the property to the mortgage note holder.

The General  Partner has  established a revolving  credit facility not to exceed
$5,000,000 in the aggregate  which is available on a "first-come,  first-served"
basis to the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships if certain conditions
are met. Borrowings under the facility may be used to fund deferred maintenance,
refinancing  obligations and working capital needs. The Partnership had received
advances  under  the  revolving   credit  facility  to  fund  additions  to  the
Partnership's  real estate investments and costs incurred in connection with the
refinancing  of the  Partnership's  mortgage  note  payable.  Such advances were
discharged as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings. There is no assurance that
the Partnership  will receive any additional funds under the facility because no
amounts will be reserved for any  particular  partnership.  As of June 30, 1996,
$4,082,159  remained  available  for  borrowing  under  the  facility;  however,
additional  funds could become  available as other  partnerships  repay existing
borrowings. This commitment expires on March 30, 1997.

Additionally, the General Partner has, at its discretion,  advanced funds to the
Partnership  in addition  to the  revolving  credit  facility.  The  Partnership
received  other  advances that were used to fund working  capital  requirements.
Such advances were  discharged  as a result of the Chapter 11  proceedings.  The
General  Partner is not obligated to advance funds to the  Partnership and there
is no assurance that the Partnership will receive additional funds.




<PAGE>
Long-term liquidity:

The  Partnership  has been in a distressed  cash  situation  for several  years.
Although  Harbour  Club II is able to operate in such a manner as 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  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.

Harbour Club II Apartments is part of a four-phase  apartment complex located in
Belleville,  Michigan. Phases I and III of the complex are owned by partnerships
affiliated with the General Partner;  while Phase IV is owned by University Real
Estate Fund 12,  Ltd.,  ("UREF 12") whose  general  partner is an  affiliate  of
Southmark  Corporation,  the  parent  corporation  of the  Partnership's  former
general  partner.  McREMI  managed 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 its United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development  mortgage note. 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  used by all three
phases are located on Phase I. As of June 30, 1996,  no steps have been taken to
foreclose on Phase I.

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,  the Partnership suspended  distributions to
Current  Income  Unit  holders  in 1988.  There  have been no  distributions  to
Growth/Shelter Unit holders. Distributions to Unit holders will remain suspended
for the  foreseeable  future.  The General  Partner will continue to monitor the
cash reserves and working  capital needs of the  Partnership  to determine  when
cash flows will support distributions to the Unit holders.

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

The occupancy  rate at Harbour Club II  Apartments  decreased to 90% at June 30,
1996.  Occupancy at December 31, 1995,  was 92%.  Harbour Club II Apartments was
able to provide  enough cash flow from  operations  to meet  ordinary  operating
expenses as well as the debt  service for its related  mortgage  note during the
first half of 1996;  however,  as  discussed  above,  the property is in need of
major  capital  improvements  in order  to  compete  in its  local  market.  The
Partnership is seeking alternatives to fund the necessary capital  improvements,
but at this time no sources have been found.

Until the  Partnership  is able to generate cash from  operations or sales,  the
Partnership  will be dependent on its present  cash  reserves,  operation of its
property,  or  financial  support  from  affiliates.  Distributions  will remain
suspended until cash reserves are judged adequate.




<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenue:

Total  Partnership  revenues were $327,777 and $648,787 for the three months and
six months  ended June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as compared  to  $987,607  and
$1,480,189  for the same periods of 1995.  Revenues for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1995 include a $554,047  gain from the sale of  Woodbridge
Apartments on May 25, 1995.

Rental  revenue  decreased  $103,362  and  $275,322 for the three months and six
months  ended June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods of
1995.  Most  of the  decrease  is  attributable  to the May  25,  1995,  sale of
Woodbridge  Apartments.  Rental revenue at Harbour Club II Apartments  increased
$1,516 or .2% for the first half of 1996 as compared to the same period of prior
year. The occupancy  rate at Harbour Club II Apartments  decreased to 90% at the
end of June  1996 from 96% at the end of June  1995.  Increases  in base  rental
rates were offset by increased vacancy loss.

Expenses:

Total Partnership  expenses decreased $343,994 and $586,140 for the three months
and six months  ended  June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as  compared  to the same
periods of 1995.  All line items  decreased  primarily  due to the May 25, 1995,
sale of Woodbridge Apartments.

Pursuant  to  the  Partnership's   Reorganization   Plan,  all  interest-bearing
liabilities due to affiliates were discharged  during 1995.  Thus, no interest -
affiliates  was  incurred  during the first half 1996 as  compared to $24,175 of
such interest in the first half of 1995.

General and  administrative  decreased  $43,865 and $42,604 for the three months
and six months  ended  June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as  compared  to the same
periods of 1995.  The  decrease  was due to the $41,000  legal fees paid in 1995
relating to the settlement of the judgment lien rendered in connection  with the
Illinois rescission suit.

General and  administrative  -  affiliates  decreased  $8,245 and 21,499 for the
three months and six months ended June 30,  1996,  respectively,  as compared to
the same  periods of 1995.  Such  expenses are  allocated  based on, among other
criteria,  the  number  of  properties  owned  by  the  Partnership.  Due to the
disposition  of  Woodbridge  Apartments  in  1995,  expenses  allocated  to  the
Partnership by McREMI have decreased.

The Partnership  incurred  $170,566 of  reorganization  expenses relating to the
Partnership's  bankruptcy  proceeding during the first half of 1995. Only $5,362
of such expenses were incurred during 1996.

Excluding  the effects of the  disposition  of Woodbridge  Apartments,  expenses
incurred  by the  Partnership  for  operating  at  Harbour  Club  II  Apartments
increased  $12,694 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the
same period of 1995.  The  increases  in  operating  expenses at Harbour Club II
Apartments were concentrated in depreciation.  Depreciation increased by $18,792
during the first half of 1996 as a result of  $102,003  of capital  improvements
placed in service during the first six months of 1996.

ITEM 2.   CHANGES IN SECURITIES
- -------   ---------------------

In accordance with the  Partnership's  Reorganization  Plan, on August 15, 1995,
the Partnership sent an election form to each limited partner which allowed them
to choose  whether to redeem their interest in the  Partnership.  The redemption
price was 1/1000th of a dollar per Unit.  The limited  partners were required to
respond  within 30 days,  and at the  close of the 30 day  period,  311  limited
partners  had  elected  to  redeem  4,485,345  Units.  In  connection  with  the
redemption,  the partnership  obtained a "no-action"  letter from the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") that provided that (1) the redemption could be
accomplished  without compliance with Rule 13e-3 of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, and (2) the SEC did not intend to pursue an  enforcement  action if the
Reorganization  Plan was  consummated.  Redemption  of the  affected  Units  was
completed on January 1, 1996.
