                      MCNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XXVII, L.P.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                 June 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 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 Fund XXVII, L.P., c/o McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc.,
Investor Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75240.

NOTE 3.
------

Certain prior period  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the current
period presentation.

NOTE 4.
------

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
$30 per gross square foot for  mini-storage  warehouses 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

</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 six
months of 1995. The  Partnership  loaned  $174,830 and received  repayments from
affiliates of $1,603,135 during the first six 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 $160,071 and $129,107 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, of which $13,513 and $5,452, 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 six months ended June 30, 1994.  The
Partnership  repaid $42,500 of such prepaid  interest to the General  Partner in
connection  with  loans  repaid  during  the first six  months of 1994.  No such
payments were  received or  repayments  were made during the first six months of
1995.

Payable to affiliates at June 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 5.
------

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 6.
------

On May 9,  1995,  the  Partnership  paid  down  its  mortgage  note  payable  by
$4,628,250. In connection with this repayment, the Partnership paid a prepayment
penalty of $46,750 and wrote off $103,542 of deferred  borrowing  costs relating
to the  portion  of the  loan  repaid,  resulting  in an  extraordinary  loss of
$150,292 in the second quarter of 1995.

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 or  credit,  the  Partnership  paid off the  remaining
$2,019,844  balance of its mortgage  note payable and paid a $20,198  prepayment
penalty.

NOTE 7.
------

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.  Principal and interest at a rate of
prime plus 2% is payable monthly. An additional second lien loan was executed in
the amount of $134,397 at an  interest  rate of 6%.  Payments on the second lien
are paid from one-half of the net cash flow from the property  after payments on
the first lien loan.  Both loans  mature in January  1997. A gain of $70,484 was
recorded in connection with this transaction.

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
is currently being negotiated.


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 six months of 1995 of $2,100,155 as compared to $562,063 for the first six
months of 1994.  Revenues were  $5,607,819  for the first six months of 1995, up
from $3,928,969 for the same period in 1994. Expenses were $3,357,372 in 1995 as
compared to  $3,366,906  in 1994.  The  Partnership  also  recognized a $150,292
extraordinary loss in 1995, as discussed below.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was  $3,280,516  for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, an increase from the  $1,209,392  provided  during the same
six  month  period  in 1994.  The  Partnership  expended  $365,303  for  capital
improvements, $4,706,422 for principal payments on the mortgage note payable and
$83,911 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 $131,981 in
collections  of  principal  on  mortgage  loan  investments  to an  unaffiliated
borrower, resulting in a net decrease in cash of $771,139 at June 30, 1995.

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

Revenue:

Total revenue  increased by $1,418,119  and  $1,678,850  the first three and six
months of 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The increase was primarily due to a gain on a legal  settlement  and an increase
in rental revenue, as discussed below.

Rental  revenue for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1995  increased  by
$107,278 and  $227,173,  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 June 30, 1995 as compared to 94% at June 30, 1994,  resulting in
an increase in rental revenue of approximately $80,000. Rental revenue increased
by approximately $49,000 at AAA Century as occupancy increased to 97% at the end
of the first  quarter of 1995 from 79% for the same period in 1994. In addition,
increases in rental rates resulted in rental revenue  increases of approximately
$26,000,  $20,000 and  $19,000 at AAA  Century,  Forest  Hill and  Fountainbleau
mini-storages.

Interest  income  on  the   Partnership's   mortgage  loan   investments  to  an
unaffiliated borrower (the A-Quality Mini-Storage loan) increased by $18,670 and
$41,840  for the three and six months  ended  June 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 which is
based on the prime lending rate of Bank of America.

Interest income on mortgage loans  investments - affiliates  increased by $2,405
and $30,964 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,  respectively,  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 June 30, 1995 as compared to $2.6 million
at June 30, 1994.

Other interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 increased
by $57,926 and  $116,518,  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 5, 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 May 1995, the Partnership  recognized a $150,292  extraordinary loss incurred
in  connection  with the pay down of its  mortgage  note payable as discussed in
Item 1 - Note 6. The loss consisted of a $46,750 prepayment penalty and $103,542
write off of  deferred  borrowing  costs  relating  to the  portion  of the loan
repaid.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  decreased  by $80,950  and  $9,534 for the first  three and six
months of 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year,
as discussed below.

Interest  expense  decreased by $66,455 and $69,831 for the three and six months
ended June 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
6.

Personnel costs for the first three and six months of 1995 decreased by $995 and
$30,966, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1994. The increase was
due to an  increase  in  compensation  paid to on-site  personnel  at all of the
properties in the first quarter of 1995.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by $15,995 and $42,557 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively,  as compared to the same
periods  in 1994.  The  decrease  was  mainly  due to a greater  amount of legal
expenses  incurred in the first six months of 1994 which were  attributable to a
law suit  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 $3,280,516 of cash through operating activities in the
first six months of 1995 as compared to $1,209,392  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 cash paid to suppliers
and cash paid to affiliates  due to the timing of the payment of invoices at the
end of the period.

The Partnership  expended $365,303 and $228,734 for capital  improvements to its
properties in 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The increase in 1995 was mainly due
to  expenditures  made at One Corporate  Center I Office  Building to replace an
aging air conditioning system.

In the first six months of 1995 and 1994, the Partnership  received $131,981 and
$176,349,  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  $1,428,305  in  the  first  six  months  of  1995  and  1994,
respectively.

The  Partnership  paid  $4,706,422  and  $62,960 in  principal  payments  on its
mortgage  note  payable  in the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.  As further discussed in Item 1 - Note 6, the Partnership  prepaid
$4,628,250 of the loan in May 1995.

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

At June 30, 1995, the Partnership  held cash and cash equivalents of $6,425,271.
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 1995 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.
