                      MCNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XXVII, L.P.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1995
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.
- ------

McNeil Real  Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  formerly  known as
Southmark Prime Plus, L.P., was organized by affiliates of Southmark Corporation
("Southmark") on January 16, 1987, as a limited partnership under the provisions
of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to make short-term loans
to affiliates of the general partner.  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,  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, 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 Fund XXVII, L.P., c/o McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc.,
Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
- ------

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts for its mini-storage warehouses 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  mini-storage warehouses and commercial properties and leasing
services  for its  mini-storage  warehouses.  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.

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

</TABLE>


Under  the  terms of its  amended  partnership  agreement,  the  Partnership  is
expressly  permitted to make loans to affiliates of the General Partner, so long
as such loans meet certain  conditions,  including that such loans bear interest
at a rate of prime plus 2.5%,  or prime plus 3.5% if the loan is junior to other
indebtedness. These loans are secured by income-producing real estate and may be
either  junior or senior to other  indebtedness  secured by such  property.  The
Partnership  received  repayments  from  affiliates of $972,000 during the first
nine months of 1995. The  Partnership  loaned  $208,000 and received  repayments
from affiliates of $1,603,135 during the first nine months of 1994.

In order to induce the  Partnership  to lend funds to  affiliates of the General
Partner,  the  General  Partner  agreed to pay (i) the  difference  between  the
interest rate required by the Partnership's  amended partnership agreement to be
charged to  affiliates  and the interest  rate actually paid by certain of those
affiliates,  and (ii) all  points  (1.5%  or 2% if the loan is  junior  to other
indebtedness),  closing costs and expenses.  The Partnership  recorded  interest
income on  affiliate  loans of $ 225,906 and  $198,769 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1995 and  1994,  respectively,  of which $  20,324  and  $8,749,
respectively,  was paid or payable by the  General  Partner.  In  addition,  the
General  Partner paid in advance the  interest  which would be owed for one year
pursuant to this  arrangement  which  totaled  $1,320 for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1994. The Partnership  repaid $82,578 of such prepaid  interest to
the General Partner in connection with loans repaid during the first nine months
of 1994. No such payments were received or repayments were made during the first
nine months of 1995.

Payable to  affiliates  at September  30, 1995 and  December 31, 1994  consisted
primarily of a  performance  incentive  fee of $141,647  accrued in prior years,
Partnership  general and  administrative  expenses,  asset  management  fees and
prepaid interest. Except for the performance incentive fee and prepaid interest,
all accrued fees are due and payable from current operations.

NOTE 4.
- ------

The  Partnership  filed claims with the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Northern  District of Texas,  Dallas Division (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") against
Southmark for damages relating to improper  overcharges,  breach of contract and
breach of fiduciary duty. The Partnership settled these claims in 1991, and such
settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

An Order Granting  Motion to Distribute  Funds to Class 8 Claimants  dated April
14, 1995 was issued by the Bankruptcy  Court.  In accordance  with the Order, in
May 1995 the Partnership  received in full satisfaction of its claims,  $984,649
in  cash,  and  common  and  preferred  stock  in  the   reorganized   Southmark
subsequently  sold for  $317,675,  which  amounts  represent  the  Partnership's
pro-rata share of Southmark assets available for Class 8 Claimants.

NOTE 5.
- ------

On May 9,  1995,  the  Partnership  paid  down  its  mortgage  note  payable  by
$4,628,250.  In July 1995, the  Partnership  secured a $5 million line of credit
that will be used to fund any loans made to affiliates  of the General  Partner.
In connection with obtaining the line of credit,  the  Partnership  paid off the
remaining  $2,019,844  balance of its mortgage note payable.  In connection with
the repayments,  the Partnership paid prepayment  penalties of $66,949 and wrote
off $185,453 of deferred borrowing costs,  resulting in an extraordinary loss of
$252,402 in 1995.

NOTE 6.
- ------

In April 1994, the  Partnership and the borrower on the  Partnership's  mortgage
loan  investment  secured  by  A-Quality   Mini-Storage   reached  a  settlement
concerning the loan.  Under the  settlement,  the borrower paid the  Partnership
$150,000  in  cash  and  the  loan  was  renewed  for  $1,453,194  (representing
$2,100,000 principal balance less all post-bankruptcy  petition payments made by
the  borrower)  effective  January 1, 1994.  A gain of $70,484  was  recorded in
connection with this transaction. An additional second lien loan was executed in
the amount of $134,397 at an interest  rate of 6%, which was paid in full in the
third  quarter of 1995.  Principal  and  interest at a rate of prime plus 2% are
payable monthly on the first lien loan which matures in January 1997.

NOTE 7.
- ------

A mortgage loan  investment to an affiliate of the General Partner in the amount
of $483,364 matured in May 1995. A new loan under  substantially the same terms,
effective as of the prior loan's maturity date, was made in the third quarter of
1995.


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, 1994. The Partnership  reported net income for the
first nine months of 1995 of  $2,549,067  as compared to $862,414  for the first
nine months of 1994. Revenues were $7,765,084 for the first nine months of 1995,
up from $5,908,107 for the same period in 1994. Expenses were $4,963,615 in 1995
as compared to $5,045,693 in 1994. The  Partnership  also  recognized a $252,402
extraordinary loss in 1995, as discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  was  $4,126,835  for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995, an increase from the $2,089,749  provided  during the
same nine month period in 1994. The  Partnership  expended  $499,967 for capital
improvements, $6,726,266 for principal payments on the mortgage note payable and
$168,702 for the repurchase of limited  partnership  units (net of a decrease in
cash  segregated  for  the  repurchase  of  limited   partnership   units).  The
Partnership  received  $972,000 for repayment of affiliate loans and $241,922 in
collections  of  principal  on  mortgage  loan  investments  to an  unaffiliated
borrower,  resulting in a net decrease in cash of  $2,054,178  at September  30,
1995.

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

Revenue:

Total  revenue  increased  by $178,127 and  $1,856,977  the first three and nine
months of 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The increase was primarily due to a gain on legal  settlement and an increase in
rental revenue, as discussed below.

Rental revenue for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995 increased
by $165,012 and $392,185, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1994.
The increase was mainly due to  increases in occupancy at One  Corporate  Center
III Office Building and AAA Century  Mini-Storage.  One Corporate Center III was
98%  occupied at September  30, 1995 as compared to 92% at  September  30, 1994,
resulting in an increase in rental  revenue of  approximately  $170,000.  Rental
revenue increased by approximately $43,000 at AAA Century as occupancy increased
to 97% at the end of the third  quarter of 1995 from 89% for the same  period in
1994.  In  addition,  increases  in rental  rates  resulted  in  rental  revenue
increases of approximately $55,000, $58,000, $31,000, $24,000 and $28,000 at One
Corporate Center I Office Building,  AAA Sentry, Forest Hill,  Fountainbleau and
Military Trail mini-storages, respectively.

Interest  income  on  the   Partnership's   mortgage  loan   investments  to  an
unaffiliated borrower (the A-Quality  Mini-Storage loan) increased by $4,800 and
$46,640 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, in
relation to the  comparable  periods in the prior year.  The increase was mainly
due to an increase in the interest rate earned on the first lien loan during the
first half of 1995, which is based on the prime lending rate of Bank of America.

Interest income on mortgage loans  investments - affiliates  decreased by $3,827
for the  quarter  ended  September  30, 1995 and  increased  by $27,137 for nine
months ended  September  30, 1995,  as compared to the same periods in the prior
year.  The  increase  was mainly the result of higher  interest  rates earned on
outstanding loans, which are based on the prime lending rate of Bank of America.
This  increase  was  partially  offset by lower total loans  outstanding  in the
second quarter of 1995. The Partnership had $2.2 million of loans outstanding at
September 30, 1995 as compared to $2.7 million at September 30, 1994.

Other  interest  income for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995
increased by $12,142 and $128,660, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in the prior year.  The increase was primarily the result of higher average cash
balances available for short-term  investment in 1995. In addition,  there was a
slight increase in interest rates earned on invested cash in 1995.

In the first quarter of 1995, the  Partnership  received a $30,515  property tax
refund for AAA Century Self- Storage as a result of an appeal filed on behalf of
the property. No such tax refund was received in 1994.

As  discussed  in Item 1 - Note 4, in 1995  the  Partnership  received  cash and
common and  preferred  stock in the  reorganized  Southmark in settlement of its
bankruptcy  claims against  Southmark.  The Partnership  recognized a $1,302,324
gain as a result of this settlement. No such gain was recognized in 1994.

In 1994, the Partnership  recognized a gain on mortgage  modification of $70,484
relating to the settlement for the A-Quality mini-storage loan. No such gain was
recognized in 1995.

In 1995, the Partnership  recognized a $252,402  extraordinary  loss incurred in
connection with the pay down of its mortgage note payable as discussed in Item 1
- - Note 5. The loss  consisted of $66,949 in prepayment  penalties and a $185,453
write off of deferred borrowing costs.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  decreased  by $72,544  and $82,078 for the first three and nine
months of 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year,
mainly due to a decrease in interest expense, as discussed below.

Interest  expense  decreased  by $148,955  and  $218,786  for the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 1995,  respectively,  in relation to the  respective
periods  in  the  prior  year.  The  decrease  was  due to  the  paydown  of the
Partnership's  mortgage  note  payable in the second  quarter of 1995 as further
discussed in Item 1 - Note 5.

General and administrative expenses increased by $7,971 and decreased by $34,586
for the three  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  respectively,  as
compared to the same periods in 1994. The overall decrease was due to a decrease
in legal  expenses in the first half of 1995. A greater amount of legal expenses
were  incurred  in 1994  relating  to a  lawsuit  against  the  borrower  on the
A-Quality Mini-Storage loan and a suit against the officers and directors of the
original general partner and the Partnership's former auditors.

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

The Partnership generated $4,126,835 of cash through operating activities in the
first nine months of 1995 as compared to $2,089,749 for the same period in 1994.
The increase in 1995 was mainly due to  $1,302,324 of cash received in 1995 from
the settlement of the  Partnership's  bankruptcy  claims against  Southmark.  In
addition, there was an increase in cash received from tenants (see discussion of
the  increase in rental  revenue  above),  and a decrease in interest  paid as a
result of the repayment of the partnership's mortgage loan payable.

The Partnership  expended $499,967 and $319,273 for capital  improvements to its
properties  in 1995 and  1994,  respectively.  The  increase  in 1995 was due to
expenditures  made at One Corporate Center I Office Building to replace an aging
air conditioning system, roof replacement and remodel of the hallways.

In the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, the Partnership received $241,922 and
$212,037,  respectively,  in  payments on its  mortgage  loan  investment  to an
unaffiliated borrower. The loan was modified effective January 1994; however, no
principal  payments  were  received on the loan until  April 1994.  Prior to the
modification,  interest  only from the excess cash flow of the property was paid
on the loan.

The Partnership  collected  principal on loans to affiliates (net of loans made)
of  $972,000  and  $1,395,135  in the  first  nine  months  of  1995  and  1994,
respectively.

The  Partnership  paid  $6,726,266  and  $93,736 in  principal  payments  on its
mortgage  note  payable in the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  As further  discussed in Item 1 - Note 5, the Partnership  repaid
the loan in 1995.

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

At  September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  held cash and cash  equivalents  of
$5,142,232.  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 in 1995. The Partnership has budgeted  $641,000 for necessary capital
improvements  for all  properties  in 1995 which is  expected  to be funded from
available cash reserves or from operations of the properties.

At the present time, the Partnership  anticipates resuming  distributions to the
limited partners in the foreseeable future and is reviewing cash requirements to
determine the amount and timing of such distributions.

In July 1995, the Partnership  secured a $5 million line of credit. This line of
credit will be used to fund any loans to affiliates of the General Partner.

ITEM 1.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ------       -----------------

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 (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   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 original petition also alleged causes of action against certain
former officers and directors of the Partnership's  original general partner for
breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  fraud  and  conspiracy  relating  to the  improper
assessment and payment of certain administrative  fees/expenses.  On January 11,
1994 the allegations against the former officers and directors were dismissed.

The  trial  court  granted  summary  judgment  in favor of Ernst & Young and BDO
Seidman on the fraud and negligence  claims based on the statute of limitations.
The Affiliated Partnerships appealed the summary judgment to the Dallas Court of
Appeals.  In August 1995, the appeals court upheld all of the summary  judgments
in favor of the defendants,  except it overturned the summary judgment as to the
fraud claim against Ernst & Young.  Therefore,  the  plaintiffs  will proceed to
trial unless a reasonable  settlement can be effected  between the parties.  The
ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

ITEM 5.       OTHER EVENTS
- ------        ------------

On May 9,  1995,  the  Partnership  paid  down  its  mortgage  note  payable  by
$4,628,250.  In July 1995, the  Partnership  secured a $5 million line of credit
that will be used to fund any loans made to affiliates  of the General  Partner.
In connection with obtaining the line of credit,  the  Partnership  paid off the
remaining  $2,019,844  balance of its mortgage note payable.  In connection with
the repayments,  the Partnership paid prepayment  penalties of $66,949 and wrote
off $185,453 of deferred borrowing costs,  resulting in an extraordinary loss of
$252,402 in 1995.
