ITEM 1.      BUSINESS
- ------       --------  

ORGANIZATION
- ------------

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 General Partner was elected at
a meeting of limited  partners on March 30,  1992,  at which time an amended and
restated  partnership  agreement  (the  "Amended  Partnership   Agreement")  was
adopted.  Prior to March 30, 1992, the general  partner of the  Partnership  was
Prime Plus Corp. (the "Original General Partner"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
McNeil.  The Original  General Partner was purchased from Southmark by McNeil on
March 13, 1991, as discussed  further below. The principal place of business for
the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road,  Suite 700,  Dallas,
Texas 75240.

The sole limited partner of the Partnership was initially  Southmark  Depositary
Corp. (the "Depositary"),  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southmark. On August 14,
1987, the  Partnership  registered  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
("SEC")  under the  Securities  Act of 1933 (File No.  33-11824) and commenced a
public  offering  for sale of  $100,000,000  of  Depositary  units.  The sale of
Depositary  units closed on August 14, 1988,  with  5,548,888  units sold at $10
each, or gross  proceeds of  $55,488,880  to the  Partnership.  The  Partnership
subsequently filed a Form 8-A Registration Statement with the SEC and registered
its  Depositary  units  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (File No.
0-17173).  The  Depositary  assigned the  principal  attributes of its aggregate
limited partner  interest in the Partnership to the Depositary unit holders.  As
further discussed,  the Depositary units were subsequently  converted to limited
partnership units. The Depositary, Depositary units or limited partnership units
are referred to herein as "Units" and the holders thereof as "Unitholders."  The
Units represent  equity interests in the Partnership and entitle the Unitholders
to participate in certain  allocations and distributions of the Partnership.  As
of December 31, 1995, 275,003 of the Units have been repurchased pursuant to the
terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement.

SOUTHMARK BANKRUPTCY AND CHANGE IN GENERAL PARTNER
- --------------------------------------------------

On July 14, 1989,  Southmark filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  Neither the  Partnership,  the General
Partner  nor  the  Original   General  Partner  were  included  in  the  filing.
Southmark's  reorganization  plan became  effective  August 10, 1990.  Under the
plan, most of Southmark's assets,  which included  Southmark's  interests in the
Original  General  Partner,  are being  sold or  liquidated  for the  benefit of
creditors.

In  accordance  with  Southmark's  reorganization  plan,  Southmark,  McNeil and
various of their affiliates  entered into an asset purchase agreement on October
12, 1990,  providing for, among other things,  the transfer of control to McNeil
or his affiliates of 34 limited partnerships  (including the Partnership) in the
Southmark portfolio.

On February 14,  1991,  pursuant to the asset  purchase  agreement as amended on
that date,  McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.  ("McREMI"),  an  affiliate of
McNeil,  acquired the assets relating to the property management and partnership
administrative  business of  Southmark  and its  affiliates.  On March 13, 1991,
McREMI  commenced  management  of the  Partnership's  properties  pursuant to an
assignment of the existing  property  management  agreements  from the Southmark
affiliates.

On March 30,  1992,  the  Unitholders  approved a  restructuring  proposal  that
provided  for (i) the  replacement  of the  Original  General  Partner  with the
General Partner;  (ii) the adoption of the Amended  Partnership  Agreement which
(a) substantially  alters the provisions of the original  Partnership  Agreement
relating to, among other things,  compensation,  reimbursements of expenses, and
voting rights and (b) makes  Depositary unit holders direct limited  partners of
the Partnership;  (iii) the approval of an amended property management agreement
with McREMI, the Partnership's property manager; and (iv) the approval to change
the Partnership's  name to McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. Under the Amended
Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership began accruing an asset management fee,
<PAGE>
retroactive to March 13, 1991,  which is payable to the General  Partner.  For a
discussion of the methodology for calculating the asset management fee, see Item
13 - Certain Relationships and Related  Transactions.  The proposals approved at
the March 30, 1992 meeting were implemented as of that date.

Settlement of Claims:

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,  which
totaled  approximately  $17,024,326,  for  the  full  amount  claimed  and  such
settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Partnership released Southmark and its
affiliates  and the  Original  General  Partner  from any further  liability  in
connection  with the  claims  made with the  Bankruptcy  Court.  In  return,  an
affiliate of McNeil  agreed to waive  payment on a dollar for dollar basis in an
amount equal to the settled  claims  against  Partnership  advances owed at that
time. In addition,  the Partnership received Southmark bankruptcy plan assets in
respect to its claims which were not offset  against the  Partnership  advances.
Because the Partnership's claims against Southmark were settled for $17,024,326,
the  Partnership  advances of $223,800  owed at that time were  reduced in their
entirety  and the claims had a remaining  balance of  $16,800,526.  Although the
Partnership  settled the claims against  Southmark for the full amount  claimed,
the settlement agreement provided that the Partnership receive a distribution of
Southmark  bankruptcy  plan  assets  based on a claim  amount  of  approximately
$9,157,000.

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 which was
subsequently  sold for  $317,675.  These  amounts  represent  the  Partnership's
pro-rata share of Southmark assets available for Class 8 Claimants.

CURRENT OPERATIONS
- ------------------

General:

Under the original partnership agreement, the Partnership's primary business was
to make short-term  nonrecourse mortgage or deed of trust loans to affiliates of
the  Original  General  Partner and to  partnerships  or real estate  investment
trusts  sponsored by affiliates of the Original  General  Partner formed for the
purpose of acquiring  income-producing real properties. Due to borrower defaults
and foreclosures on the properties securing all but one of these mortgages,  the
Partnership's  business  also  includes  ownership and operation of real estate.
Since  the  beginning  of  operations  and  prior  to  the  restructuring,   the
Partnership  funded twelve mortgage loans, seven in 1987 and five in 1988, which
completed the Partnership's investment of the proceeds from the sale of Units.

The borrowers on the mortgage loan  investments held by the Partnership were all
affiliates of Southmark. During the early part of the terms of the loans, to the
extent that property  operations  were  insufficient  to pay required  interest,
Southmark  supported the borrowers  with cash and the  Partnership's  loans were
kept current. On July 14, 1989, Southmark filed for bankruptcy  protection,  and
such support ceased and all loans went into default.

In  1994,  the  remaining  mortgage  loan  investment,  which  is  secured  by a
mini-storage  warehouse  in  Stone  Mountain,   Georgia  that  was  sold  to  an
unaffiliated borrower,  was modified.  Principal and interest payments under the
modified  terms have been  received  by the  Partnership.  See Item 8 - Note 5 -
"Mortgage Loan Investment."

In 1992, the Partnership  received the proceeds from a $7,000,000  mortgage note
payable secured by five of the Partnership's  mini-storage warehouses located in
Florida.  A portion of the proceeds  from the loan was used to make  nonrecourse
mortgage  loans to  affiliates  of the General  Partner in  accordance  with the
Amended Partnership  Agreement.  The loans were secured by income-producing real
estate  and were  either  junior or senior to other  indebtedness  as more fully
described in Item 8 - Note 6 - "Mortgage  Loan  Investments -  Affiliates."  The
mortgage  note  payable was repaid by the  Partnership  in 1995 and a $5 million
line of credit was  obtained  that will be used to fund any future loans made to
affiliates of the General Partner. See Item 8 - Note 7 - "Long-Term Debt."

The  Partnership  is engaged  in the  ownership,  operation  and  management  of
commercial  real estate and other real estate  related  assets.  At December 31,
1995,  the  Partnership  owned one mortgage loan  investment to an  unaffiliated
borrower,  three mortgage loan investments to affiliates of the General Partner,
and ten income-producing properties as described in Item 2 - Properties.

The  Partnership  does not directly  employ any personnel.  The General  Partner
conducts the business of the  Partnership  directly and through its  affiliates.
The Partnership  reimburses  affiliates of the General Partner for such services
rendered in accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreement. See Item 8 - Note
2 "Transactions With Affiliates."

The business of the Partnership to date has involved only one industry  segment.
See Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Partnership has no
foreign operations. The Partnership's business is not seasonal.

Business Plan:

The  Partnership's  anticipated  plan of  operations  for 1996 is to preserve or
increase the net operating income of its properties whenever possible,  while at
the same time making  whatever  capital  expenditures  are reasonable  under the
circumstances  in order to preserve  and enhance the value of the  Partnership's
properties.  The  General  Partner  is  evaluating  market  and  other  economic
conditions to determine the optimum time to commence an orderly  liquidation  of
the  Partnership's  properties  in  accordance  with the  terms  of the  Amended
Partnership  Agreement.  The Partnership will continue to collect  principal and
interest  payments on its mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated  borrower.
Further,  the Partnership may continue to make loans to affiliates in accordance
with the terms of the Amended Partnership  Agreement.  In conjunction therewith,
the General  Partner will continue to explore  potential  avenues to enhance the
value of the Units in the  Partnership,  which may include,  among other things,
asset sales or refinancings of the Partnership's  properties which may result in
distributions to the limited partners. See Item 7 - Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Competitive Conditions:

Since the  principal  business of the  Partnership  is to own and  operate  real
estate and to service notes receivable  secured by real estate,  the Partnership
is  subject  to all of the risks  incidental  to  ownership  of real  estate and
interests  therein,  many of which  relate  to the  illiquidity  of this type of
investment. These risks include changes in general or local economic conditions,
changes  in supply or demand for  competing  properties  in an area,  changes in
interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds which may render the
sale or refinancing  of a property  difficult or  unattractive,  changes in real
estate and zoning  laws,  increases  in real  property  tax rates and Federal or
local economic controls.  The illiquidity of real estate  investments  generally
impairs  the  ability  of  the  Partnership  to  respond   promptly  to  changed
circumstances.  The Partnership  competes with numerous  established  companies,
private investors (including foreign investors),  real estate investment trusts,
limited  partnerships  and other entities (many of which have greater  resources
than the Partnership  and the borrowers) in connection with the sale,  financing
and  leasing  of  properties.  The  impact  of these  risks on the  Partnership,
including  losses  from  operations  and   foreclosures  of  the   Partnership's
properties,  is  described  in Item 7  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations.  See Item 2 - Properties  for a
discussion  of  the  competitive   conditions  at  each  of  the   Partnership's
properties.

Other Information:

The environmental  laws of the Federal government and of certain state and local
governments  impose  liability  on current  property  owners for the clean-up of
hazardous and toxic substances discharged on the property. This liability may be
imposed  without  regard  to the  timing,  cause or person  responsible  for the
release of such substances onto the property.  The Partnership  could be subject
to such liability in the event that it owns properties having such environmental
problems.  The Partnership has no knowledge of any pending claims or proceedings
regarding such environmental problems.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES
- ------     ----------

The  following  table sets forth the real  estate  investment  portfolio  of the
Partnership  at December 31, 1995.  All of the  buildings  and the land on which
they are located are owned in fee. The two office  buildings and Kendall  Sunset
Mini-Storage  secure a $5 million line of credit as described more fully in Item
8 - Note 7 - "Long-Term  Debt." No borrowings were outstanding under the line of
credit as of December 31, 1995.  The remaining  properties are  unencumbered  by
mortgage indebtedness.  See also Item 8 - Note 4 - "Real Estate Investments" and
Schedule  III  -  Real  Estate  Investments  and  Accumulated  Depreciation  and
Amortization.  In the  opinion of  management,  the  properties  are  adequately
covered by insurance.

Occupancy rate  represents all units leased divided by the total number of units
for  mini-storage  properties  and square footage leased divided by total square
footage for other  properties  as of  December  31 of the given  year.  Rent per
square foot represents all revenue, except interest, derived from the property's
operations divided by the leasable square footage of the property.

Competitive conditions:
- ----------------------

AAA Century Airport
- -------------------

AAA  Century  Airport  Self-Storage  consists of three,  two-story  self-storage
warehouse  buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office.  The rentable  space is
divided into 567 units,  including 10 recreational  vehicle parking spaces. Each
unit is  individually  alarmed for  additional  security.  The property does not
offer climate-controlled units.

The  property  is  located   approximately   two  miles  from  the  Los  Angeles
International Airport in Inglewood, California. Inglewood is a relatively mature
area with growth to the west generated by development around the airport.  There
is little  competition  which represents a threat to the property.  The property
raised rental rates in 1995 and plans to increase rental rates slightly in 1996.
The Partnership  expects to maintain occupancy in the low to middle 90% range in
1996.

AAA Sentry
- ----------

AAA Sentry  Mini-Storage  consists  of five,  two-story  self-storage  warehouse
buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office. The rentable space is divided into
803 units, with 85% of these units air conditioned.

The property is located in a  predominately  commercial  area, with a mixture of
single and multi-family residential properties.  The property's rental rates and
occupancy are currently  higher than the  competition  in the immediate  area. A
rental  rate  increase  is not  planned  until late 1996  since a new  competing
facility was recently built that may affect  occupancy.  Management  anticipates
maintaining occupancy in the middle 90% range in 1996.

Burbank
- -------

Burbank   Mini-Storage   consists  of  two,   two-story  and  one,   three-story
self-storage warehouse buildings and one apartment/leasing  office. The rentable
space is  divided  into 986 units,  with 10 of these  units  being  recreational

<PAGE>

vehicle parking spaces.  All of the buildings have fire  sprinklers,  but do not
offer climate-controlled environments.

The  property is located in the eastern  quadrant of Burbank,  California,  just
west of  Interstate  5 and  approximately  twenty  miles north of  downtown  Los
Angeles and seven miles south of the Burbank  Airport.  There are two  competing
self-storage  properties with superior  visibility and highway  access.  Another
competing property has recently been built closer to the airport that may have a
negative  effect  on  Burbank's  occupancy.  Due to the  property's  lack of air
conditioning  and  third  floor  units  that are far  away  from  stairwells  or
elevators,  an increase in occupancy is not likely.  The Partnership  expects to
maintain occupancy in the low 80% range in 1996.

Forest Hill
- -----------

Forest Hill  Mini-Storage  consists of nine,  one-story  self-storage  warehouse
buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office. The rentable space is divided into
679 units, with 20 of these units being recreational vehicle parking spaces. 35%
of the units are air conditioned.

The property is located in a predominately residential neighborhood in West Palm
Beach,  Florida  consisting of single  family homes and small  businesses to the
east  and  multi-family  apartment  communities  to  the  south  and  west.  The
property's  rental rates and occupancy are currently higher than the competition
in the immediate area.

Construction  of two  competing  facilities  within  one mile of Forest  Hill is
currently being considered,  which could have a negative impact on the property.
The  Partnership  expects to  maintain  occupancy  in the  middle 90% range.  An
increase in rental rates is anticipated in 1996.

Fountainbleau
- -------------

Fountainbleau  Mini-Storage consists of three,  two-story self-storage warehouse
buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office. The rentable space is divided into
769 units. 56% of the units are air conditioned.

The property is located in the central  western  quadrant of the Miami metroplex
and is in close  proximity to the Miami  International  Airport.  The  immediate
neighborhood  is  predominately  industrial  with single family  residential and
multi-family  communities  further  to the south and north.  The tenant  profile
consists of local  businesses  and a major  international  moving  company  that
leases more than 90 of the units and  receives a 5%  discount.  The  Partnership
expects to maintain occupancy in the high 90% range in 1996.  Surrounding vacant
property is currently  being marketed for future  mini-storage  development.  If
facilities are built, it could have an impact on the property's performance.

Kendall Sunset 
- --------------

Kendall Sunset Mini-Storage  consists of ten, one-story  self-storage  warehouse
buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office. The rentable space is divided into
940 units. 35% of the units are air conditioned.

The property is located in a residential  neighborhood at the southwestern  edge
of the Miami metroplex. The area is tropical in nature and is in close proximity
to the Everglades  and Key West.  The property's  rental rates and occupancy are
currently  higher than the  competition in the immediate  area. The  Partnership
expects to maintain occupancy in the middle 90% range in 1996. Margate

Margate   Mini-Storage   consists  of  four,   one-story  and  one,  three-story
self-storage warehouse buildings and one apartment/leasing  office. The rentable
space is divided into 642 units, with 11 of the units being recreational vehicle
parking spaces. 52% of the units are air conditioned.
<PAGE>

The property is located in a predominately  commercial/retail  neighborhood with
single family homes and multi-family  communities  along the secondary  streets.
The  property's  rental  rates  and  occupancy  are  currently  higher  than the
competition  in  the  immediate  area.  The  development  of a new  self-storage
facility near the property had an adverse effect on the property's  occupancy at
the end of 1995. However, the Partnership expects to increase occupancy slightly
in 1996.

Military Trail
- --------------

Military Trail Mini-Storage consists of eight,  one-story self-storage warehouse
buildings and one  apartment/leasing  office. The rentable space is divided into
688 units, with 16 of the units being  recreational  vehicle parking spaces. 35%
of the units are air conditioned.

The property is located in a predominately  commercial/retail  neighborhood. The
majority  of the  apartment  complexes  in the area are to the north with single
family  residences to the west.  The location is the most positive  feature with
direct access on Military Trail, a major thoroughfare. There are two competitors
in  the  immediate   area  with  similar  access  and  appearance  but  inferior
management.  The Partnership  expects to maintain occupancy in the low 90% range
throughout 1996.

One Corporate Center I and One Corporate Center III
- ---------------------------------------------------

One Corporate Center I and III are six-story class "B" office buildings  located
in the southwest suburban Minneapolis/St.  Paul metropolitan area. The buildings
are  two  of  four  identical  buildings  located  in a  commercial  development
identified as One Corporate Center.

There has been no new  office  development  in the past  three  years and no new
speculative  construction is currently  underway,  so there has been a continued
demand for a  decreasing  supply of space.  Developers  are  currently  actively
seeking   tenants  for  potential   competing   construction.   Management  will
concentrate on retaining  existing tenants in 1996. The properties will continue
to  perform  capital  improvements  in 1996 in order to replace  aging  building
systems and to upgrade common areas to remain  competitive  in the  marketplace.
The  Partnership  will continue to lease up vacancies with few  concessions  and
higher rental rates. The Partnership expects to maintain occupancy in the middle
90% range.

The following  schedule shows lease  expirations  for each of the  Partnership's
commercial properties for 1996 through 2005:

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ------       -----------------

The Partnership is not party to, nor are any of the Partnership's properties the
subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine
litigation incidental to the Partnership's business, except for the following:

1)   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  initially  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 counterclaims were later dismissed on appeal, as discussed below.

     The trial court granted summary judgment  against the Partnership  based on
     the statute of limitations; however, on appeal, the Dallas Court of Appeals
     reversed   the  trial  court  and   remanded   for  trial  the   Affiliated
     Partnerships'  fraud claims against Ernst & Young.  The Texas Supreme Court
     denied Ernst & Young's  application  for writ of error on January 11, 1996.
     The Partnership is continuing to pursue vigorously its claims against Ernst
     & Young; however, the final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined
     at this time.
<PAGE>
2)   Robert Lewis v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.  and McNeil  Partners,
     L.P.,  Civil Action No. 13287 (Del.  Ch.).  This complaint  alleged,  among
     other things, that the General Partner caused the Partnership to loan money
     to affiliated  partnerships at rates lower than the  Partnership's  cost of
     borrowing,  which the plaintiff alleged constituted a breach of the General
     Partner's  fiduciary duties. The complaint alleged that the affiliate loans
     were designed to enable the affiliated partnerships to continue in business
     so as to enable the General Partner to continue  collecting fees from them.
     An answer to the  complaint  was filed on  February  3, 1994,  denying  the
     material  averments of wrongdoing and asserting  affirmative  defenses.  In
     1995, the plaintiff and the Partnership executed a Stipulation and Order of
     Dismissal, which dismissed the action without prejudice.

3)   Helen Pasco v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.,  Southmark  Prime Plus
     Corp., et al. and Does 1-50 Inclusive.  This complaint alleges that several
     limited  partnerships  and funds,  including  the  Partnership,  along with
     McMachen,  Prudential Securities,  Inc. and other unidentified  defendants,
     transmitted  false and misleading  information  to the plaintiff  which was
     used to entice the plaintiff into investing her money with the  defendants.
     The complaint also alleges that the defendants misrepresented  speculative,
     illiquid  limited  partnerships  as  safe,   income-producing   investments
     suitable for  safety-conscious  and  conservative  investors.  Although the
     Partnership is included as a defendant,  the plaintiff's allegations do not
     specify in what way the Partnership was involved in improper  conduct.  The
     complaint  does  not  state,  other  than by  broad  allegations,  that the
     Partnership  acted in an improper  manner with regard to the  operation  or
     management of the limited partnership. An answer was filed on behalf of the
     Partnership  in February 1994, and there has been no further action in this
     matter.  The  ultimate  outcome of this case cannot be  determined  at this
     time.

ITEM 7.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------       -----------------------------------------------------------
             AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             -------------------------

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

Under the original partnership  agreement,  the Partnership was formed to engage
in the business of making short-term nonrecourse mortgage or deed of trust loans
to affiliates of the Original General Partner and to partnerships or real estate
investment trusts sponsored by affiliates of the Original General Partner formed
for the purpose of acquiring  income-producing  real  properties and reinvesting
the proceeds from  repayment of such loans in  additional  affiliate  loans.  In
1989,  the  Partnership  initiated  foreclosure  proceedings  on the  collateral
securing each of its mortgage loan  investments.  The  Partnership  acquired two
office buildings in 1989 and eight  mini-storage  warehouses in 1990 as a result
of the  foreclosures.  Also in 1990,  one loan was  collected  in full  when the
borrower  sold the  mini-storage  warehouse  securing  the loan.  The  remaining
mortgage  loan  investment,  secured  by a  mini-storage  warehouse  owned by an
unaffiliated limited partnership, was modified in 1994.

In October 1992,  the  Partnership  received  approximately  $6.5 million of net
proceeds  from  a  $7  million  loan  secured  by  five  of  the   Partnership's
mini-storage  warehouses located in Florida. A portion of the proceeds were used
for working capital and for general partnership purposes. The loan proceeds were
also  used to make such  loans to  affiliates  in  accordance  with the  Amended

<PAGE>

Partnership  Agreement  as more fully  described  in Item 8 - Note 6 - "Mortgage
Loan Investments - Affiliates" and Item 13 - Certain  Relationships  and Related
Transactions.  The  mortgage  note  payable  was  paid in full in 1995  and a $5
million line of credit was  obtained  that will be used to fund any future loans
made to  affiliates  of the General  Partner.  See Item 8 - Note 7 -  "Long-Term
Debt."

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

1995 compared to 1994

Revenue:

Total  revenue  increased by  $1,676,557  in 1995 as compared to the prior year,
primarily due to a gain on legal  settlement  and an increase in rental  revenue
and other interest income, as discussed below.

Rental revenue in 1995 increased by $283,334 as compared to 1994. Rental revenue
increased by approximately $65,000 and $16,000 at One Corporate Center I and III
office buildings,  respectively,  due to an increase in rental rates in 1995. In
addition,  rental revenue increased at a majority of the mini-storage properties
as a result  of an  increase  in rental  rates in 1995.  The  largest  increases
occurred at AAA Century  Airport,  AAA Sentry and  Military  Trail where  rental
revenue increased by approximately $68,000,  $52,000 and $41,000,  respectively.
See Item 2 - Properties for a more detailed  analysis of occupancy and rents per
square foot.

Other  interest  income  increased  by $115,445 in 1995 as compared to the prior
year.  The increase was  primarily  the result of an increase in interest  rates
earned on invested cash in 1995.

In 1995,  the  Partnership  received a $30,515  refund of prior years'  property
taxes for AAA Century  Airport  Mini-Storage  as a result of an appeal  filed on
behalf of the property.  In 1994, the  Partnership  received a $43,878 refund of
prior years' property taxes for Burbank Mini-Storage.

As discussed  in Item 1, 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.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  decreased  by  $235,990  in 1995 as compared to the prior year,
mainly due to a decrease in interest expense, as discussed below.

Interest expense decreased by $380,381 in 1995 as compared to 1994. The decrease
was due to the  repayment  of the  Partnership's  mortgage  note  payable in the
second half of 1995, as further discussed in Item 8 - Note 7 - "Long-Term Debt."

General and administrative  expenses decreased by $44,076 in 1995 as compared to
1994.  The decrease  was due to a decrease in legal  expenses in 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.

In 1995, the Partnership  recognized a $252,402  extraordinary  loss incurred in
connection  with the repayment of its mortgage note payable as discussed in Item
8 - Note 7 -  "Long-Term  Debt." The loss  consisted  of  $66,949 in  prepayment
penalties and a $185,453 write off of deferred borrowing costs.


1994 compared to 1993

Revenue:

Total Partnership revenues increased by $77,457 in 1994 as compared to 1993. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in rental revenue, partially offset by
the  recognition  of a gain on  involuntary  conversion  and an unusually  large
property tax refund received in 1993, as discussed below.

Rental  revenue  increased by $687,134 in 1994 as compared to the previous year.
The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $406,000
at One  Corporate  Center III Office  Building due to an increase in  occupancy.
Rental revenue increased at all of the mini-storage properties as a result of an
increase in rental rates in 1994. The largest increases occurred at Burbank, AAA
Sentry and AAA Century Airport,  where rental revenue increased by approximately
$122,000, $61,000 and $50,000,  respectively. See Item 2 - Properties for a more
detailed analysis of occupancy and rents per square foot.

Interest income on the Partnership's mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated
borrower  (the  A-Quality  Mini-Storage  loan)  decreased  by $22,648 in 1994 as
compared to 1993.  As discussed in Item 8 - Note 5 "Mortgage  Loan  Investment,"
this loan was modified  effective  January 1, 1994.  Prior to the  modification,
interest  on the note was  received  to the extent of excess  cash flow from the
property securing the loan. At that time, interest was recorded as earned by the
Partnership when it was received. Under the modification,  the principal balance
of the loan was reduced  and  principal  and  interest  are paid  monthly by the
borrower.  One half of any excess cash flow from the property was used to reduce
the principal balance of the second lien loan.

Interest income on mortgage loan investments - affiliates  decreased by $199,629
in 1994 as  compared  to the prior year.  The  decrease  was the result of lower
average loan balances  outstanding  in 1994 than in 1993 due to the repayment of
loans at the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994.  Outstanding  loans amounted
to  approximately  $3.2  million and $4.1 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Other  interest  income  increased by $156,043 in 1994 as compared to 1993.  The
increase was primarily the result of higher average cash balances  available for
short-term  investment  in  1994,  mainly  due  to the  repayment  of  loans  by
affiliates.  The Partnership  held  approximately  $7.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents  at December  31, 1994 as compared to $4.6  million at December  31,
1993.  In addition,  there was an increase in interest  rates earned on invested
cash in 1994.

In 1993, the  Partnership  received a $358,174  refund of prior years'  property
taxes  for One  Corporate  Center  I and III  office  buildings.  In  1994,  the
Partnership received a $43,878 refund of prior years' property taxes for Burbank
Mini-Storage.

In 1993, the Partnership recognized a gain on involuntary conversion of $229,147
relating to hurricane  damage suffered at two of the  mini-storages  warehouses.
(See  Item 8 - Note 8 - "Gain  on  Involuntary  Conversion").  No such  gain was
recorded in 1994.

Expenses:

Total expenses increased by $28,639 in 1994 as compared to 1993.

Depreciation and amortization  expense increased by $146,311 in 1994 as compared
to  1993.  The  increase  was  due  to  the  addition  of  depreciable   capital
improvements, primarily at One Corporate Center III Office Building, in 1994 and
1993.

Property  taxes  decreased by $153,800 in 1994 as compared to 1993. The decrease
was the result of a decrease  in the  assessed  taxable  value of One  Corporate
Center I and III Office Buildings by taxing authorities as a result of an appeal
filed on behalf of the properties.

Property  management fees - affiliates  increased by $58,385 in 1994 as compared
to 1993.  The increase was due to an increase in gross rental  receipts in 1994,
on which the fees are based.

Electricity  usage,  resulting  from an increase in occupancy  at One  Corporate
Center III Office  Building,  caused an increase in  utilities  expense in 1994.
Utilities increased by $28,209 in 1994 as compared to 1993.

Other property  operating  expenses increased by $43,880 as compared to the same
period in 1993.  Approximately  $24,000  of the  increase  was the result of One
Corporate Center III amortizing a greater amount of leasing commissions in 1994,
which were paid in an effort to  increase  the  occupancy  of the  building.  In
addition,  there was an increase in the cost of property insurance at all of the
properties in 1994.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $144,298 in 1994 as compared to
1993, mainly due to an increase in legal expenses in 1993. The majority of these
expenses were  attributable  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  $5,157,580 of cash through  operating  activities in
1995 as compared to $2,730,364 in 1994 and  $1,664,105 in 1993.  The increase in
1995 was mainly due to cash  received in 1995 from the  settlement of bankruptcy
claims  against  Southmark  as discussed  in Item 1 - Southmark  Bankruptcy  and
Change in General Partner.  In addition,  there was an increase in cash received
from tenants and a decrease in interest  paid.  The increase in 1994 as compared
to 1993 was  mainly  due to an  increase  in cash  received  from  tenants.  See
discussion  of the  increase  in rental  revenue  and the  decrease  in interest
expense above.

In 1993,  the  Partnership  received  $398,034 in net  insurance  proceeds  from
hurricane  damage  suffered at two of the  mini-storage  properties in 1992. The
Partnership expended $563,333,  $688,492 and $1,335,020 for capital improvements
to the properties in 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The  Partnership  made
substantial  improvements to its properties in 1993 in an effort to increase the
properties' occupancy.

In 1995 and 1994, the Partnership received $282,420 and $278,337,  respectively,
in payments on its mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated borrower. As more
fully  discussed in Item 8 - Note 5 - "Mortgage Loan  Investment,"  the loan was
modified in 1994. Prior to the modification,  interest only from the excess cash
flow of the  property  was paid on the loan.  The second lien loan was repaid in
full in the third quarter of 1995.

The Partnership collected (net of loans made) $972,000 and $843,135 of principal
on loans to  affiliates in 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The  Partnership  made
loans to affiliates (net of collections) of $1,033,037 in 1993.

In 1995,  the  Partnership  expended a total of  $6,726,266 to repay in full its
mortgage note payable and paid $66,949 in prepayment  penalties  associated with
such repayment.  The Partnership also paid $195,059 in deferred  borrowing costs
to secure a $5 million line of credit.

Short-term liquidity:

At  December  31,  1995,  the  Partnership  held  cash and cash  equivalents  of
$5,718,657.  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 1996. The Partnership has budgeted  $586,000 for necessary capital
improvements  for all  properties in 1996,  which are expected to be funded from
available cash reserves or from operations of the properties.

One of the  Partnership's  mortgage  loan  investments  to  affiliates  totaling
$952,538  was repaid  subsequent  to  December  31,  1995 (see Item 8 - Note 6 -
"Mortgage Loan Investments - Affiliates").

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.

In March 1996, the Partnership distributed $3,000,000 to the limited partners.

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.
The  Partnership  acquired a $5 million  line of credit in 1995 that may be used
for property  operations.  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.  Sales and refinancings are possibilities only,
and there are at present no plans for any such sales or refinancings.

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 funds under the facility because
no amounts are reserved for any particular partnership. As of December 31, 1995,
$2,662,819  remained  available  for  borrowing  under  the  facility;  however,
additional  funds could become  available as other  partnerships  repay existing
borrowings. This commitment will terminate on March 30, 1997.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners of McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P.:

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of McNeil  Real Estate Fund
XXVII,  L.P. (a Delaware limited  partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the related  statements of operations,  partners'  equity (deficit) and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995.  These
financial  statements and the schedule referred to below are the  responsibility
of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII,
L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The  schedule  listed  in the index to
financial  statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission's  rules  and  is not  part  of  the  basic  financial

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1995

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------   -----------------------------------------------------------

Organization
- ------------

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 General Partner was elected at
a meeting of limited  partners on March 30,  1992,  at which time an amended and
restated  partnership  agreement  (the  "Amended  Partnership   Agreement")  was
adopted.  Prior to March 30, 1992, the general  partner of the  Partnership  was
Prime Plus Corp. (the "Original General Partner"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
McNeil.  The Original  General Partner was purchased from Southmark by McNeil on
March 13, 1991.  The  principal  place of business for the  Partnership  and the
General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75240.

The sole limited partner of the Partnership was initially  Southmark  Depositary
Corp. (the "Depositary"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southmark. The Depositary
assigned the principal  attributes of its aggregate  limited partner interest in
the  Partnership  to the  Depositary  unit holders.  The  Depositary  units were
subsequently converted to limited partnership units. The Depositary,  Depositary
units or limited  partnership  units are  referred  to herein as "Units" and the
holders thereof as "Unitholders."

Under the original partnership agreement, the Partnership's primary business was
to make short-term  nonrecourse mortgage or deed of trust loans to affiliates of
the  Original  General  Partner and to  partnerships  or real estate  investment
trusts  sponsored by affiliates of the Original  General  Partner formed for the
purpose of acquiring  income-producing real properties. Due to borrower defaults
and foreclosures on the properties securing all but one of these mortgages,  the
Partnership's business also includes ownership and operation of real estate.

In 1992, the Partnership  received the proceeds from a $7 million  mortgage note
payable secured by five of the Partnership's  mini-storage warehouses located in
Florida.  A portion of the proceeds  from the loan was used to make  nonrecourse
mortgage  loans to  affiliates  of the General  Partner in  accordance  with the
Amended Partnership  Agreement.  The loans were secured by income-producing real
estate  and were  either  junior or senior to other  indebtedness  as more fully
described in Note 6 - "Mortgage  Loan  Investments -  Affiliates."  The mortgage
note  payable  was repaid by the  Partnership  in 1995 and a $5 million  line of
credit  was  obtained  that  will  be  used to fund  any  future  loans  made to
affiliates of the General Partner. See Note 7 - "Long-Term Debt."

The  Partnership  is engaged  in the  ownership,  operation  and  management  of
commercial  real estate and other real estate  related  assets.  At December 31,
1995,  the  Partnership  owned one mortgage loan  investment to an  unaffiliated
borrower,  three mortgage loan investments to affiliates of the General Partner,
and ten  income-producing  properties  as  described  in  Note 4 - "Real  Estate
Investments."

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  The preparation of financial
statements in conformity  with GAAP  requires  management to make  estimates and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Investments
- -----------------------

Real  estate  investments  are  generally  stated  at the  lower  of cost or net
realizable value.  Real estate  investments are monitored on an ongoing basis to
determine if the property has sustained a permanent impairment in value. At such
time,  a  write-down  is recorded to reduce the basis of the property to its net
realizable  value. A permanent  impairment is determined to have occurred when a
decline in property  value is considered to be other than  temporary  based upon
management's  expectations  with respect to projected  cash flows and prevailing
economic conditions.

Improvements and betterments are capitalized and expensed  through  depreciation
charges. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

In March 1995,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  This  statement is effective for financial  statements  for fiscal
years  beginning  after December 15, 1995. The  Partnership  has not adopted the
principles  of this  statement  within the  accompanying  financial  statements;
however,  it is not anticipated that adoption will have a material effect on the
carrying value of the Partnership's long-lived assets.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

Buildings and improvements are depreciated using the  straight-line  method over
the  estimated  useful lives of the assets,  ranging from 5 to 25 years.  Tenant
improvements  are  capitalized  and are amortized  over the terms of the related
tenant lease, using the straight-line method.

Mortgage Loan Investments
- -------------------------

Mortgage  loan  investments  are recorded at their  original  basis,  net of any
allowance  for  uncollectible  amounts.  Interest  income is recognized as it is
earned.  Interest  accrual  is  ceased  at such  time as  management  determines
collection is doubtful.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents  include cash on hand and cash on deposit in financial
institutions with original  maturities of three months or less. Carrying amounts
for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Deferred Borrowing Costs
- ------------------------

Loan fees and other related costs incurred to obtain long-term financing on real
property are  capitalized  and amortized  using a method that  approximates  the
effective  interest method over the term of the related mortgage note payable or
line of credit agreement.  Amortization of deferred  borrowing costs is included
in interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

Rental Revenue
- --------------

The Partnership  leases its mini-storage  warehouses under short-term  operating
leases. Lease terms generally are less than one year in duration. Rental revenue
is recognized as earned.

The Partnership leases its commercial properties under non-cancelable  operating
leases.  Certain leases provide concessions and/or periods of escalating or free
rent. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
related leases. The excess of the rental revenue recognized over the contractual
rental  payments  is  recorded  as accrued  rent  receivable  and is included in
accounts receivable on the Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes
- ------------

No provision for Federal  income taxes is necessary in the financial  statements
of the  Partnership  because,  as a  partnership,  it is not  subject to Federal
income tax and the tax effect of its activities accrues to the partners.

Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss
- -------------------------------------

The Amended Partnership  Agreement provides for net income and net losses of the
Partnership  to be  allocated  99% to  the  Unitholders  and  1% to the  General
Partner.

Federal  income tax law provides  that the  allocation of loss to a partner will
not be  recognized  unless the  allocation  is in  accordance  with a  partner's
interest in the partnership or the allocation has substantial  economic  effect.
Internal  Revenue  Code Section  704(b) and  accompanying  Treasury  Regulations
establish  criteria for allocation of  Partnership  deductions  attributable  to
debt. The  Partnership's tax allocations for 1995, 1994, and 1993 have been made
in accordance with these provisions.

Distributions
- -------------

At the discretion of the General Partner, distributions to the partners are paid
from cash from  operations  available  after payment of affiliate  compensation.
Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is not
entitled to distributions from operations.

Cash from operations  available for  distribution is determined by provisions of
the Amended Partnership  Agreement,  and differs from the amount reported as net
cash  provided by operating  activities in the  accompanying  Statements of Cash
Flows. Cash from operations available for distribution consists of cash received
from  operations  of the  Partnership  during a given  period  of time  less (1)
operational cash disbursements  during the same period of time including capital
improvements,   unscheduled  mortgage  principal  reductions  and  repayment  of
Partnership  advances from affiliates,  (2) a reasonable allowance for reserves,
contingencies and anticipated obligations as determined at the discretion of the
General  Partner,  (3) proceeds held pending  investment in affiliate loans, and
(4) any monies reserved for repurchase of Units.

Liquidation  proceeds will be distributed  when the Partnership is dissolved and
wound up after taking into account all items of income, gain, loss or deduction.
Distribution  of  liquidation  proceeds  will then be made to the partners  with
positive capital account balances.

No distributions were paid to the partners in 1995, 1994 or 1993. In March 1996,
the Partnership distributed $3,000,000 to the limited partners.


Net Income Per Hundred Limited Partnership Units
- ------------------------------------------------

Net income per one hundred Units is computed by dividing net income allocated to
the  limited  partners  by the  weighted  average  number  of Units  outstanding
expressed in hundreds.  Per unit  information has been computed based on 53,109,
53,483  and 53,914  (in  hundreds)  Units  outstanding  in 1995,  1994 and 1993,
respectively.

NOTE 2 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
- ------   ----------------------------

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.

Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement,  the Partnership is paying
an  asset  management  fee 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 percent 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  assets  excluding
intangible items. The fee percentage decreases subsequent to 1999.

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

Until March 13, 1991, the Original General Partner was entitled to receive,  out
of cash from operations,  a performance incentive fee equal to 20% of all points
received  by the  Partnership  on  mortgage  loans if the  Unitholders  received
distributions of cash from operations  equal to a 10% cumulative  noncompounding
annual return on their original capital  investment.  Such fees were cumulative,
were  accrued in the years earned and are to be paid when  conditions  were met.
Conditions for payment have not yet been met and, at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
$141,647 of amounts accrued in prior years are included in payable to affiliates
on the Balance Sheets.

Under  the  terms of the  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. See Note 6 - "Mortgage Loan Investments -
Affiliates" for a discussion of these transactions.

Payable to affiliates at December 31, 1995 and 1994  consisted  primarily of the
performance   incentive  fee  of  $141,647  accrued  in  prior  years,  property
management  fees,  Partnership  general  and  administrative   expenses,   asset
management fees and prepaid interest as further  discussed in Note 6 - "Mortgage
Loan  Investments - Affiliates."  Except for the  performance  incentive fee and
prepaid interest, all accrued fees are due and payable from current operations.

NOTE 3 - TAXABLE INCOME
- ------   --------------

McNeil  Real Estate Fund  XXVII,  L.P.  is a  partnership  and is not subject to
Federal and state income taxes.  Accordingly,  no recognition  has been given to
income taxes in the accompanying  financial  statements of the Partnership since
the income or loss of the  Partnership  is to be  included in the tax returns of
the  individual  partners.  The tax  returns of the  Partnership  are subject to
examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. If such examinations result
in  adjustments  to  distributive  shares of  taxable  income  or loss,  the tax
liability of the partners could be adjusted accordingly.

The  Partnership's net assets and liabilities for financial  reporting  purposes
exceeded the net assets and liabilities for tax purposes by $11,258,459 in 1995,
$10,569,292 in 1994 and $10,682,379 in 1993.

Future  minimum  rents do not  include  expense  reimbursements  for common area
maintenance,  property taxes and other  expenses.  These expense  reimbursements
amounted to  $130,560,  $127,069  and $74,999 for the years ended  December  31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 5 - MORTGAGE LOAN INVESTMENT
- ------   ------------------------

In 1987,  the  Partnership  made a nonrecourse  mortgage loan to an affiliate of
Southmark secured by A-Quality Mini-Storage.  The property was subsequently sold
to an unaffiliated borrower subject to the Partnership's first priority mortgage
loan. On August 6, 1990,  the  Partnership  was advised that  Southmark  Storage
Associates,  the borrower on the A-Quality  mortgage  loan, had filed a petition
for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court of Connecticut. This action
served to automatically stay foreclosure proceedings.

In April 1994, the borrower and the Partnership 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  the  original
$2,100,000  principal balance less all post bankruptcy petition payments made by
the borrower)  effective  January 1, 1994.  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.

Effective  January 1, 1994,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
("SFAS  114").   The  impact  of  adopting  SFAS  114  was   immaterial  to  the
Partnership's financial statements.  In accordance with SFAS 114, the measure of
impairment for a loan restructured in a troubled debt  restructuring is based on
the present  value of  expected  future cash flows  discounted  at the  original
contractual rate. Accordingly, upon the April 1994 modification, the Partnership
measured the impairment of the mortgage loan  investment and determined  that an
allowance for  impairment  was still  required.  For the year ended December 31,
1993, there were no changes in the balance of the allowance for impairment.  For
the years  ended  December  31,  1995 and 1994,  the  allowance  for  impairment
decreased  by  $172,164  and  $83,257,  respectively.  The 1995  decrease in the
allowance  was due to the passage of time (the  allowance  is measured  based on
discounted cash flows) and the 1994 decrease was primarily due to the April 1994
modification which changed the expected future cash flows.

Since the April  1994  modification,  interest  income has been  recorded  at an
interest  rate that equates the expected  future cash flows to the mortgage loan
investment  balance.  The expected cash flows change slightly from year to year.
Additionally,  any  changes in the  allowance  for  impairment  that result from
changes in the  discount  rate or passage of time are also  recorded as interest
income.  This accounting  treatment  resulted in the recognition of $149,334 and
$159,337 of  interest  income for the years  ended  December  31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The effective interest rate of this interest income was 10.4% and
10.3% for 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Interest income of $154,909 and $136,417
would have been recognized under the terms of the modification agreement for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, if the Partnership had not
adopted SFAS 114.

The  following  sets forth the  Partnership's  mortgage  loan  investment  to an
unaffiliated borrower at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

(a)  Under the modification  terms,  interest accrues on the first mortgage loan
     at a rate equal to the prime  lending  rate of Bank of America in effect as
     of the first day of each calendar  month plus 2%. The prime lending rate at
     December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 8.5%. The monthly  payment is based on a 240
     month amortization, which changes as the interest rate changes.

(b)  One half of the net cash flow of the property  (after payments on the first
     lien loan) was  payable  monthly on the second  lien loan.  The second lien
     loan was paid in full in the third quarter of 1995.

Based on market lending rates for mortgage loan  investments with similar terms,
risks and average maturities, the fair value of the mortgage loan investment was
approximately $1,407,000 at December 31, 1995.

The cost of the mortgage  loan  investment  for Federal  income tax purposes was
$1,416,547 at December 31, 1995.

On March 21, 1996, the mortgage loan investment  plus accrued  interest was paid
in full by the borrower.

NOTE 6 - MORTGAGE LOAN INVESTMENTS - AFFILIATES
- ------   --------------------------------------

Under  the  terms of the  Amended  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  is
expressly  permitted to make  nonrecourse  mortgage  loans to  affiliates of the
General  Partner so long as such loans meet certain  conditions,  including that
such loans bear  interest at a rate equal to the prime  lending  rate of Bank of
America  plus  2.5%,  or 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.  At December 31, 1995,
the  Partnership  had  outstanding  loans  receivable  of  $2,235,902,  of which
$1,435,902  were first priority loans and $800,000 were junior  priority  loans.
For the year ended December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  recognized  $291,324 of
interest   income  related  to  these  loans.   The  following  sets  forth  the
Partnership's  mortgage loan investments to affiliates of the General Partner at
December 31, 1995 and 1994.  Loans were funded by the proceeds from the mortgage
note payable  entered  into in October  1992 (see Note 7 - "Long-Term  Debt") or
other available funds.  Interest only is due monthly. The monthly payment varies
according to the prime lending rate.

(a)  The loans bear  interest at the prime  lending rate of Bank of America plus
     2.5% for senior  priority  loans and prime  plus 3.5% for  junior  priority
     loans. The prime lending rate was 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

On May 1, 1992, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of $1.115 million to
McNeil Pension  Investment  Fund,  Ltd.  ("McPIF"),  an affiliate of the General
Partner,  at an  interest  rate of prime  plus 1% per annum  (the  maximum  rate
allowed to be incurred by McPIF in connection  with  borrowings  from affiliates
pursuant to McPIF's  partnership  agreement).  In 1994, 1993 and 1992,  $88,000,
$330,364  and  $65,000,  respectively,  was  borrowed by McPIF  pursuant to this
commitment.  This loan is secured by a first lien on Brice Road Office  Building
located in  Reynoldsburg,  Ohio. The original loan matured in May 1995, at which
time a new loan under substantially the same terms was executed. Interest on the
loan is payable monthly.  Principal is payable on the third  anniversary date of
issuance.

On August 15, 1994, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of $1 million to
McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd. ("Fund X"), at an interest rate of prime plus 1%
per annum (the maximum rate allowed to be incurred by Fund X in connection  with
borrowings from affiliates pursuant to Fund X's partnership agreement). In 1994,
$800,000  was  borrowed  by Fund X  pursuant  to this  commitment.  This loan is
secured by a second lien on Lakeview Plaza Shopping Center located in Lexington,
Kentucky. Interest on the loan is payable monthly, with principal payable on the
third anniversary date of issuance.

On May 1, 1992,  the  Partnership  agreed to loan an aggregate of $972,000 at an
interest  rate of prime plus 3.5% to McNeil Real Estate  Fund XXI,  L.P.  ("Fund
XXI"). In 1992,  $972,000 was borrowed by Fund XXI pursuant to this  commitment.
This loan was secured by a third lien on Suburban Plaza Shopping  Center located
in Knoxville,  Tennessee. Interest on the loan was payable monthly. The loan was
repaid in full in 1995.

On March 1, 1993, the Partnership  agreed to loan an aggregate of $1.536 million
at an interest  rate of prime plus 2.5% to McNeil  Real  Estate Fund XXVI,  L.P.
("Fund  XXVI").  In 1993,  $952,538 was  borrowed by Fund XXVI  pursuant to this
commitment.  This loan was secured by a first lien on  Continental  Plaza Office
Building  located  in  Scottsdale,  Arizona.  Interest  on the loan was  payable
monthly,  with principal payable on the third anniversary date of issuance.  The
loan was paid in full in January 1996.

In order to induce the Partnership to lend funds to the foregoing  affiliates of
the General  Partner,  the General  Partner  entered  into  agreements  with the
Partnership  whereby  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  (either  prime plus 2.5% or prime plus
3.5%) and the interest rate actually paid by Fund X and McPIF to the Partnership
(prime plus 1%),  and (ii) all points (1.5% of the  principal  amount if a first
priority  security  interest is  obtained  and 2% of the  principal  amount if a
junior  priority  security  interest is  obtained),  closing  costs and expenses
required to be received by the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership's Amended
Partnership Agreement in connection with such affiliated financing arrangements.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the General  Partner had paid, net of repayments,
$27,250 and $88,509, respectively, representing the aggregate amount of interest
which would be owed for one year pursuant to this arrangement.  No such interest
was prepaid in 1995 since no funds were  borrowed by Fund X or McPIF in 1995. In
addition,  the General  Partner paid $27,193,  $28,249 and $114,889 of interest,
points, closing costs and expenses required to be received by the Partnership on
all  affiliate  loans  during  1995,  1994 and  1993,  respectively.  All  other
requirements  for affiliated  loans, as specified in the  Partnership's  Amended
Partnership  Agreement,  were  met at  December  31,  1995,  1994 and  1993,  in
connection with these loans.

A summary of activity for the mortgage loan  investments  from  affiliates is as

</TABLE>


 (a) In October 1992, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement to borrow an
     aggregate of $7 million.  Principal on this loan was due and payable  seven
     years following issuance, with interest payable annually at a rate of 10.5%
     per annum for the first three years and prime plus 2% thereafter.  The loan
     was secured by certain  mini-storage  warehouses  owned by the Partnership.
     McNeil  personally  guaranteed up to $1.75  million of the  aggregate  loan
     amount. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $6.5 million
     from the loan,  the balance of the loan amount being used to defray certain
     closing costs and to establish an escrow account for real estate taxes. The
     net loan  proceeds  were used to make  loans to various  affiliates  of the
     General  Partner  and to fund  working  capital  needs.  The balance of the
     proceeds  was  invested,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the  Amended
     Partnership Agreement, in short-term interest-bearing accounts.

In May 1995, the Partnership  paid down its mortgage note payable by $4,628,250.
In June 1995,  the  Partnership  secured a $5 million line of credit that may be
used to fund any loans made to affiliates of the General  Partner as well as for
working capital and general partnership  purposes.  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.

No amounts had been  received by the  Partnership  under the $5 million  line of
credit  agreement  as of December  31, 1995.  Any  borrowings  under the line of
credit  would  bear  interest  at  prime  plus  one  half  of one  percent  or a
LIBOR-based rate, if so elected by the Partnership.  The Partnership is required
to pay a  commitment  fee equal to one  quarter of one  percent per annum on any
unused  portion of the line of credit.  Total  commitment  fees paid during 1995
were $3,542. The Partnership incurred loan costs of $195,059 related to the line
of  credit.  The line of  credit  expires  in July  1997 and is  secured  by One
Corporate Center I and III office buildings and Kendall Sunset Mini-Storage.

NOTE 8 - GAIN ON INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION
- ------   ------------------------------

In September 1992,  extensive  hurricane  damage occurred at  Fountainbleau  and
Kendall Sunset  Mini-Storage  warehouses.  Although  repairs were  substantially
complete at the end of the year,  reimbursements  from the insurance company had
not yet been fully received. In 1993, the Partnership received $398,034 from the
insurance  company and  recognized a $229,147  gain on  involuntary  conversion,
which  represents the amount of insurance  reimbursements  received in excess of
the basis of the properties damaged.

NOTE 9 - REPURCHASE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS
- ------   ---------------------------------------

Under the provisions of both the original partnership  agreement and the Amended
Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership  is  required to  repurchase  Units in
amounts totaling up to .6% of gross proceeds per year. The repurchase  amount is
equal  to the  lesser  of 90% of  adjusted  invested  capital,  or $9 per  Unit.
Repurchase  is based on written  requests  from  Unitholders  submitted  between
October 1 and October 20 of each year. The  requirement  was first  effective in
1989. In January 1996, $332,928 was used to repurchase 36,992 Units for requests
submitted in 1995. In January 1995, $332,931 was used to repurchase 37,408 Units
for requests submitted in 1994. In January 1994, $332,933 was used to repurchase
43,126 Units for requests submitted in 1993.

NOTE 10 - GAIN ON LEGAL SETTLEMENT
- -------   ------------------------

The  Partnership  filed claims with the United States  Bankruptcy  Court for the
Northern  District of Texas,  Dallas Division (the  "Bankruptcy  Court") against
Southmark   Corporation   ("Southmark")   for   damages   relating  to  improper
overcharges,  breach of contract and breach of fiduciary  duty. The  Partnership
settled these claims in 1991, which totaled approximately  $17,024,326,  for the
full amount claimed and such settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Partnership released Southmark and its
affiliates  and the  Original  General  Partner  from any further  liability  in
connection  with the  claims  made with the  Bankruptcy  Court.  In  return,  an
affiliate of McNeil  agreed to waive  payment on a dollar for dollar basis in an
amount equal to the settled  claims  against  Partnership  advances owed at that
time. In addition,  the Partnership received Southmark bankruptcy plan assets in
respect to its claims which were not offset  against the  Partnership  advances.
Because the Partnership's claims against Southmark were settled for $17,024,326,
the  Partnership  advances of $223,800  owed at that time were  reduced in their
entirety  and the claims had a remaining  balance of  $16,800,526.  Although the
Partnership  settled the claims against  Southmark for the full amount  claimed,
the settlement agreement provided that the Partnership receive a distribution of
Southmark  bankruptcy  plan  assets  based on a claim  amount  of  approximately
$9,157,000.

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 which was
subsequently  sold for  $317,675.  These  amounts  represent  the  Partnership's
pro-rata  share of Southmark  assets  available  for Class 8 Claimants  and were
recorded as a gain on legal settlement on the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 11 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -------   -----------------

The Partnership is not party to, nor are any of the Partnership's properties the
subject of, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine
litigation incidental to the Partnership's business, except for the following:

1)   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  initially  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 counterclaims were later dismissed on appeal, as discussed below.

     The trial court granted summary judgment  against the Partnership  based on
     the statute of limitations; however, on appeal, the Dallas Court of Appeals
     reversed   the  trial  court  and   remanded   for  trial  the   Affiliated
     Partnerships'  fraud claims against Ernst & Young.  The Texas Supreme Court
     denied Ernst & Young's  application  for writ of error on January 11, 1996.
     The Partnership is continuing to pursue vigorously its claims against Ernst
     & Young; however, the final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined
     at this time.

2)   Robert Lewis v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.  and McNeil  Partners,
     L.P.,  Civil Action No. 13287 (Del.  Ch.).  This complaint  alleges,  among
     other things, that the General Partner caused the Partnership to loan money
     to affiliated  partnerships at rates lower than the  Partnership's  cost of
     borrowing,  which the plaintiff alleges constitutes a breach of the General
     Partner's  fiduciary duties. The complaint alleges that the affiliate loans
     are designed to enable the affiliated  partnerships to continue in business
     so as to enable the General Partner to continue  collecting fees from them.
     An answer to the  complaint  was filed on  February  3, 1994,  denying  the
     material  averments of wrongdoing and asserting  affirmative  defenses.  In
     1995, the plaintiff and the Partnership executed a Stipulation and Order of
     Dismissal, which dismissed the action without prejudice.

3)   Helen Pasco v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.,  Southmark  Prime Plus
     Corp., et al. and Does 1-50 Inclusive.  This complaint alleges that several
     limited  partnerships  and funds,  including  the  Partnership,  along with
     McMachen,  Prudential Securities,  Inc. and other unidentified  defendants,
     transmitted  false and misleading  information  to the plaintiff  which was
     used to entice the plaintiff into investing her money with the  defendants.
     The complaint also alleges that the defendants misrepresented  speculative,
     illiquid  limited  partnerships  as  safe,   income-producing   investments
     suitable for  safety-conscious  and  conservative  investors.  Although the
     Partnership is included as a defendant,  the plaintiff's allegations do not
     specify in what way the Partnership was involved in improper  conduct.  The
     complaint  does  not  state,  other  than by  broad  allegations,  that the
     Partnership  acted in an improper  manner with regard to the  operation  or
     management of the limited partnership. An answer was filed on behalf of the
     Partnership  in February 1994, and there has been no further action in this
     matter.  The  ultimate  outcome of this case cannot be  determined  at this
     time.

Each director  shall serve until his successor  shall have been duly elected and
qualified.

Section 16 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Partnership's
General  Partner and the directors and executive  offers of the General  Partner
(Including McNeil Investors,  Inc. as the general partner of the General Partner
and the officers  and  directors of McNeil  Investors,  Inc.) to file,  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  reports  of  ownership  and  changes  in
ownership of the  Partnership's  Units.  The Partnership is required to identify
any of those persons who failed to file such reports on a timely basis.

During  1995,  Mrs.  McNeil  inadvertently  failed to file on a timely basis one
report relating to one transaction.  In making this disclosure,  the Partnership
has relied solely on written  representations of these and other individuals and
on copies of the reports that they have filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.

ITEM 11.     EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
- -------      ----------------------

No direct  compensation  was paid or payable by the  Partnership to directors or
officers  (since it does not have any  directors or officers) for the year ended
December  31,  1995,  nor was any  direct  compensation  paid or  payable by the
Partnership  to  directors  or officers  of the  general  partner of the General
Partner for the year ended  December 31, 1995. The  Partnership  has no plans to
pay any such remuneration to any directors or officers of the general partner of
the General Partner in the future.

See Item 13 - Certain  Relationships  and  Related  Transactions  for amounts of
compensation and  reimbursements  paid by the Partnership to the General Partner
and its affiliates.


ITEM 12.     SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
- -------      --------------------------------------------------------------

     (A) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.

           No  individual  or group,  as  defined  by  Section  13(d)(3)  of the
           Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, was known by the Partnership to own
           more than 5% of the Units,  other than the General Partner,  as noted
           in (B) below.

     (B) Security ownership of management.

           The General  Partner and the  officers  and  directors of its general
           partner,  collectively own 410,300 limited  partnership  units, which
           represents approximately 7.78% of the outstanding limited partnership
           units as of February 29, 1996.

     (C) Change in control.

           None


ITEM 13.     CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- -------      ----------------------------------------------

The amendments to the Partnership compensation structure included in the Amended
Partnership  Agreement  provide for an asset management fee to replace all other
forms of general partner  compensation  other than property  management fees and
reimbursements  of certain  costs.  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 percent 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 assets excluding  intangible items. The fee
percentage  decreases  subsequent to 1999. For the year ended December 31, 1995,
the Partnership paid or accrued $572,631 of such asset management fees.

Until March 13, 1991, the Original General Partner was entitled to receive,  out
of cash from operations,  a performance incentive fee equal to 20% of all points
received  by the  Partnership  on  mortgage  loans if the Unit  holders  receive
distributions of cash from operations  equal to a 10% cumulative  noncompounding
annual return on their original  capital  investment.  Such fees were cumulative
and were accrued in the years earned and are to be paid when conditions are met.
Conditions for payment have not yet been met and, at December 31, 1995, $141,647
of amounts  accrued in prior years are included in payable to  affiliates on the
Balance Sheets.

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts of mini-storage  properties (6% for commercial) to McREMI, an affiliate
of  the  General   Partner,   for  providing   property   management   services.
Additionally,  the  Partnership  reimburses  McREMI  for  its  costs,  including
overhead,  of  administering  the  Partnership's  affairs.  For the  year  ended
December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  paid or accrued  $859,201 of such property
management  fees and  reimbursements.  See Item 7 - Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations and Item 8 - Note 2 -
"Transactions With Affiliates."

Under  the  terms of the  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  either  prime of Bank of  America  plus 2.5% or prime  plus  3.5%,
depending  on whether the  security  for such loans is first  priority or junior
priority.

On May 1, 1992, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of $1.115 million to
McNeil Pension  Investment  Fund,  Ltd.  ("McPIF"),  an affiliate of the General
Partner,  at an  interest  rate of prime  plus 1% per annum  (the  maximum  rate
allowed to be incurred by McPIF in connection  with  borrowings  from affiliates
pursuant to McPIF's  partnership  agreement).  In 1994, 1993 and 1992,  $88,000,
$330,364  and  $65,000,  respectively,  was  borrowed by McPIF  pursuant to this
commitment.  This loan is secured by a first lien on Brice Road Office  Building
located in  Reynoldsburg,  Ohio. The original loan matured in May 1995, at which
time a new loan under substantially the same terms was executed. Interest on the
loan is payable monthly.  Principal is payable on the third  anniversary date of
issuance.

On August 15, 1994, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of $1 million to
McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd. ("Fund X"), at an interest rate of prime plus 1%
per annum (the maximum rate allowed to be incurred by Fund X in connection  with
borrowings from affiliates pursuant to Fund X's partnership agreement). In 1994,
$800,000  was  borrowed  by Fund X  pursuant  to this  commitment.  This loan is
secured by a second lien on Lakeview Plaza Shopping Center located in Lexington,
Kentucky. Interest on the loan is payable monthly, with principal payable on the
third anniversary date of issuance.

On May 1, 1992,  the  Partnership  agreed to loan an aggregate of $972,000 at an
interest  rate of prime plus 3.5% to McNeil Real Estate  Fund XXI,  L.P.  ("Fund
XXI"). In 1992,  $972,000 was borrowed by Fund XXI pursuant to this  commitment.
This loan was secured by a third lien on Suburban Plaza Shopping  Center located
in Knoxville,  Tennessee. Interest on the loan was payable monthly. The loan was
repaid in full in 1995.

On March 1, 1993, the Partnership  agreed to loan an aggregate of $1.536 million
at an interest  rate of prime plus 2.5% to McNeil  Real  Estate Fund XXVI,  L.P.
("Fund  XXVI").  In 1993,  $952,538 was  borrowed by Fund XXVI  pursuant to this
commitment.  This loan was secured by a first lien on  Continental  Plaza Office
Building  located  in  Scottsdale,  Arizona.  Interest  on the loan was  payable
monthly,  with principal payable on the third anniversary date of issuance.  The
loan was paid in full in January 1996.

In order to induce the  Partnership  to lend funds to  affiliates of the General
Partner,  the General  Partner  entered  into  agreements  with the  Partnership
whereby  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  (either  prime of Bank of America plus 2.5% or 3.5%) and
the interest rate actually  paid by Fund X and McPIF to the  Partnership  (prime
plus 1%), and (ii) all points (1.5% of the principal  amount if a first priority
security  interest  is  obtained  and 2% of the  principal  amount  if a  junior
priority security interest is obtained),  closing costs and expenses required to
be received by the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership's Amended Partnership
Agreement in connection with such affiliated  financing  arrangements.  In 1995,
the General Partner paid $27,193 of interest, points, closing costs and expenses
required to be received by the  Partnership on all affiliate  loans during 1995.
In connection with these loans, all other  requirements for affiliated loans, as
specified in the Partnership's Amended Partnership Agreement, were met.

not more than the maximum amount  available for advances of the Revolving Credit
Loan to which the Prime Rate Option applies;  (iii) whether the LIBO-Rate Option
or Prime Rate Option  shall  apply to the  proposed  advances  of the  Revolving
Credit Loan comprising the Borrowing  Tranche;  and (iv) in the case of advances
of the  Revolving  Credit  Loan  to  which  the  LIBO-Rate  Option  applies,  an
appropriate  Interest  Period for the proposed  advance of the Revolving  Credit
Loan comprising the Borrowing Tranche.

                   2.04 Making Advances of the Revolving Credit Loan. The Lender
shall,  after  approval by it of a Loan Request  pursuant to Section 2.03,  fund
such advances of the Revolving  Credit Loan to the Borrower in U.S.  Dollars and
immediately  available  funds  at  the  Principal  Office  prior  to  2:00  P.M.
Pittsburgh time on the Borrowing Date.

                   2.05 Revolving Credit Note. The obligation of the Borrower to
repay the  aggregate  unpaid  principal  amount of all advances of the Revolving
Credit Loan made to it by the Lender,  together with interest thereon,  shall be
evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note.

                   2.06 Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the  Revolving  Credit
Loan shall be used for the purposes of providing  funds and Letters of Credit to
the Borrower for (i) making capital improvements to the Properties,  (ii) making

partnership  agreement,  and (iii) Borrower's repayment of that certain mortgage
loan made by the Community Bank, N.A., now known as Bank Midwest, to Borrower in
the original  principal amount of $7,000,000,  and (iv) other general  corporate
purposes not to include the payment of distributions.

                   2.07   Letter   of   Credit   Subfacility.

                        (a) Issuance of Letters of Credit.  Borrower may request
the issuance of a letter of credit (a "Letter of Credit") on behalf of itself by
delivering  to the Lender a completed  application  and agreement for letters of
credit in such form as the Lender may specify from time to time by no later than
10:00 A.M.  Pittsburgh time at least five(5)  Pittsburgh  Business Days, or such
shorter  period as may be agreed to by the  Lender,  in advance of the  proposed
date of issuance.  Subject to the terms and conditions  hereof,  the Lender will
issue a Letter of Credit  provided  that each Letter of Credit  shall (A) have a
maximum  maturity of  twelve(12)  months  from the date of issuance  and(B)in no
event expire later than one Pittsburgh  Business Day prior to the Maturity Date.
In no event  shall the Letter of Credit  Outstandings  exceed,  at any one time,
$1,000,000,  or the  Revolving  Facility  Usage  exceed,  at any one  time,  the
Revolving Credit Commitment.

                        (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the
Lender a fee (the  "Letter of Credit  Fee") equal to two percent (2%) per annum,
which fee shall be computed on the daily average  Letter of Credit  Outstandings
and shall be payable  quarterly in arrears  commencing with the first Pittsburgh

<PAGE>

Business Day of each April, July, October and January following issuance of each
Letter of Credit and on the Maturity Date.

                        (c) Disbursements, Reimbursement.

                             (i) Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Lender
for all amounts  which Lender is required to advance  pursuant to the Letters of
Credit (the  "Reimbursement  Obligation")  in accordance  with the terms hereof.
Such  amounts  advanced  shall  become,  at the time the amounts  are  advanced,
Revolving  Credit Loans from the Lender.  Such Revolving Credit Loans shall bear
interest at the rate applicable  under the Prime Rate Option unless the Borrower
elects to have a different  Interest Rate Option apply to such Revolving  Credit
Loans pursuant to and in accordance  with the  provisions  contained in, Section
3.01.

                             (ii) The Lender  will  notify the  Borrower of each
demand or presentment for payment or other drawing under each Letter of Credit.

                        (d)  Documentation.  Borrower  agrees to be bound by the
terms of the Lender's  application  and  agreement for Letters of Credit and the
Lender's  written  regulations  and customary  practices  relating to Letters of
Credit,  each of which gave been  provided to  Borrower  in writing  though such
interpretation  may be  different  from the  Borrower's  own.  In the event of a
conflict  between  such  application  or  agreement  and  this  Agreement,  this
Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross negligence or willful  misconduct,  the Lender shall not be liable for any
error,  negligence  and/or  mistakes,  whether of  omission  or  commission,  in
following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or
any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

                        (e)   Determinations  to  Honor  Drawing  Requests.   In
determining  whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit
by the beneficiary  thereof,  the Lender shall be responsible  only to determine
that the documents and  certificates  required to be delivered under such Letter

<PAGE>

of  Credit  have been  delivered  and that  they  comply on their  face with the
requirements of such Letter of Credit.

                        (f) Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  The obligation
of the  Borrower  to  reimburse  the Lender  upon a draw under  Letter of Credit
pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be absolute  unconditional,  and irrevocable
and shall be  performed  strictly in  accordance  with the terms of this Section
under all circumstances.

                        (g)  Indemnity.   In  addition  to  amounts  payable  as
provided in Section 9.02, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect,  indemnify, pay
and save  harmless  the Lender from and  against  any and all  claims,  demands,
liabilities,  damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
fees,  expenses and  disbursements  of counsel and  allocated  costs of internal
counsel) which the Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of
the gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct  of the Lender as  determined by a
final judgment of a court of competent  jurisdiction  or (ii) the failure by the
Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act
or omission,  whether rightful or wrongful,  of any present or future de jure or
de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein
called "Governmental Acts").

                   2.08  Extension  by  Lender  of the  Maturity  Date.  Upon or
promptly after delivery by the Borrower of the annual financial statements to be
provided  under Section 7.04,  the Borrower may request a one-year  extension of
the  Maturity  Date by written  notice to the Lender,  and the Lender  agrees to
respond to the  Borrower's  request  for an  extension  within  ninety (90) days
following receipt of the request; provided, however, that (i) the failure of the
Lender to respond within such time period shall not in any manner  constitute an
extension of the Maturity Date, (ii) together with its request for extension for
any year,  Borrower  shall deliver to Lender a  non-refundable  extension fee of
$6,250,  and  (iii)  at the  time  Lender  receives  Borrower's  request  for an
extension, Lender may at its discretion order Appraisals of the Collateral Pool,
which  Appraisals  shall be  satisfactory to Lender in all respects and shall be

<PAGE>

performed  at  Borrower's  sole cost and expense.  Lender  shall use  reasonable
efforts to  request or obtain  updates  of  existing  Appraisals  in lieu of new
Appraisals whenever practical.

                                 INTEREST RATES
                                 --------------

                   3.01 General Interest Provisions.

                        (a) The  Borrower  shall pay  interest in respect of the
outstanding  unpaid  principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan from the date
hereof  until the  Maturity  Date on  outstanding  balances  of  principal  at a
fluctuating  rate per  annum  (computed  on the  basis of a year of 360 days and
actual days elapsed) equal to the Prime Based Rate, such interest rate to change
automatically  from time-to-time  effective as of the effective date of a change
in the Prime Based Rate (the "Prime Rate Option"), except as Borrower shall have
elected  the  LIBO-Rate  pursuant  to  Paragraph  3.02  hereof  (the  "LIBO-Rate
Option").  During any period in which Lender is no longer obligated to accept or
implement Loan Requests in accordance with Section (g) of Paragraph 3.02 hereof,
or in which any Borrowing Tranche to which the LIBO-Rate Option applies would be
terminable  in  accordance  with  Section (h) or Section (i) of  Paragraph  3.02
hereof, the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest
at the Prime Based  Rate.  In the  absence of an  election  in  accordance  with
Section (a) of paragraph  3.02 hereof for a new  Borrowing  Tranche to which the
LIBO-Rate  Option  applies at the end of each  Interest  Period  applicable to a
Borrowing Tranche to which the LIBO-Rate Option applies, the amount allocated to
such Borrowing Tranche shall become subject to the Prime Based Rate.

                        (b) Upon the  occurrence  of an  Event of  Default,  any
principal,  interest,  fee or other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest
for each day thereafter until paid in full (before and after judgment) at a rate
per annum  which shall be equal to four  percent  (4%) above the Prime Rate (the
"Default Rate").  The Borrower  acknowledges  that such increased  interest rate
reflects,  among other  things,  the fact that such Loans or other  amounts have

<PAGE>

become a  substantially  greater  risk given their  default  status and that the
Lender is entitled to additional compensation for such risk.

                        (c) If any interest,  principal,  Consequential  Loss or
other charge payable  hereunder shall become overdue in excess of ten (10) days,
a "late charge" by way of damages shall be due and payable upon demand. Borrower
recognizes  that default by Borrower in making the payments  herein agreed to be
paid when due will result in Lender  incurring  additional  expense in servicing
the Revolving  Credit Loan and such delinquent  payment and in loss to Lender of
the use of money due.  Borrower  agrees  that such  damages  for such  detriment
caused shall be difficult to  ascertain.  Borrower  therefore  agrees that a sum
equal to five percent (5%) of each payment more than ten (10) days in arrears is
a  reasonable  estimate of and a  liquidated  amount of such  damages to Lender,
which sum Borrower agrees to pay on demand. This charge shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, any other remedy Lender may have and any reasonable fees and
charges of any agents or attorneys Lender may employ on any default hereunder.

                        (d) Each Interest  Rate Option  referred to herein shall
be calculated on the principal  balance  hereof to which such rate is applicable
from time to time,  based on a year of 360 days and actual days  elapsed in each
calendar year.

                        (e) Interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance
of the Revolving Credit Loan at the respective interest rates applicable thereto
shall be due and payable on the first (1st) day of each calendar month following
the first full month after the Closing Date and on the Maturity  Date or earlier
payment in full hereof.

                   3.02 LIBO-Based Rate Interest.

                        (a) LIBO-Based Rate Elections.  At any time prior to the
Maturity  Date,  Borrower may elect to have the LIBO-Rate  apply to a portion of
the  outstanding  unpaid  principal  amount of the  Revolving  Credit Loan for a
specified  Interest  Period by delivering  to Lender a Loan Request  pursuant to

<PAGE>

paragraph 2.03 hereof;  provided that in no event may Borrower elect an Interest
Period which extends beyond the Maturity Date pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 hereof.

                        (b)  Rates,  Quotes  and  Business  Days  List.  If  the
Borrower  requests quotes of the LIBO-Based Rate for different  Interest Periods
being  considered by the  Borrower,  the Lender will use  reasonable  efforts to
promptly provide such quotes to the Borrower and if the Borrower requests a list
of the LIBO Business Days in any calendar month,  the Lender will use reasonable
efforts to promptly provide such list.  However,  any such quotes provided shall
be representative only and shall not be binding on the Lender, nor shall they be
determinative,  directly or indirectly,  of any LIBO-Based Rate or any component
of any such rate,  nor will the  Borrower's  failure to receive or the  Lender's
failure to provide any requested quote or quotes either (i) excuse or extend the
time for performance of any of the Borrower's obligations or for exercise of any
of the  Borrower's  rights,  options or  elections,  or (ii)  impose any duty or
liability  on the Lender;  and any such list  provided  shall be  understood  to
identify only those calendar days which the Lender believes in good faith at the
time such list is prepared  will be the Business Days for the month in question.
The  Lender  shall  have no  liability  for any  failure  to  provide,  delay in
providing, error or mistake in omission from, any such quote or list.

                        (c)  Interest  on  Borrowing   Tranches   Subject  to  a
LIBO-Rate Option.  Each Borrowing Tranche subject to LIBO-Rate Option shall bear
interest on its unpaid principal  balance during the Interest Period  applicable
to it at the LIBO-Rate in effect on the date two (2) LIBO Business Days prior to
the first day of the applicable Interest Period for such Borrowing Tranche. Each
determination  of a  LIBO-Based  Rate by the Lender,  in the absence of manifest
error, shall be conclusive and binding.

                        (d)   Limitation   on   Option   to   Elect   LIBO-Rate.
Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  hereof,   Borrower  may  not  elect  the
LIBO-Based Rate when an Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and
is continuing.

                        (e)   Limitation  on  Number  and  Amount  of  Borrowing
Tranches  Subject  to  a  LIBO-Rate  Option.   The  Borrower  may  allocate  the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to separate Borrowing

<PAGE>

Tranches with each  Borrowing  Tranche  being subject to a different  LIBO-Based
Rate or the Prime  Based  Rate,  provided,  however,  that (i) no more than four
(4)such  Borrowing  Tranches  subject to a  LIBO-Based  Rate Option  shall be in
existence  at any one  time,  and  (ii) the  minimum  amount  allocated  to each
Borrowing Tranche subject to a LIBO-Rate Option shall be $100,000.

                        (f)  Computation  of  Interest.  Interest  payable  with
respect  to each  Borrowing  Tranche  subject  to a  LIBO-Rate  Option  shall be
calculated  on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year  consisting of 360
days.

                        (g)  Inadequacy of Borrowing  Tranche  Pricing.  If with
respect to an Interest Period for any prospective Borrowing Tranche subject to a
LIBO-Rate Option, the Lender determines (which determination,  in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding) that:

                             (i) for any reason,  the Lender is unable,  through
its  customary  general  practices,  to quote  an  offer  to prime  banks in the
Interbank  Eurodollar market in London,  England for U.S. dollar deposits in the
appropriate amounts for the appropriate period; or

                             (ii)  by  reason  of  circumstances  affecting  the
Interbank Eurodollar market in London, England,  generally,  the offer of Lender
to accept  deposits in U.S.  dollars  (in the  applicable  amounts)  will not be
accepted in the Interbank Eurodollar market for such Interest Period; or

                             (iii) the LIBO-Rate  will not adequately and fairly
reflect  the cost to the  Lender of the  establishment  or  maintenance  of that
Borrowing  Tranche subject to a LIBO-Rate Option for such Interest  Period,  and
the Lender gives notice thereof to the Borrower;

then the  obligation  of the Lender to accept or  implement  Loan  Requests  for
Borrowing  Tranches subject to a LIBO-Rate Option shall be suspended,  until the
Lender  notifies  the  Borrower  that  the  circumstances  giving  rise  to such
suspension no longer exist.
<PAGE>

                        (h)  Borrowing  Tranches  Subject to a LIBO-Rate  Option
Unlawful. If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law, rule or
regulation  or any  change  in  applicable  Law,  rule or  regulation  or in the
interpretation or administration  thereof by any Governmental  Authority charged
with the  interpretation or  administration  thereof or compliance by the Lender
with any  request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender
to establish any Borrowing  Tranche  Subject to a LIBO-Rate  Option or to comply
with its obligations in connection with the maintenance of any Borrowing Tranche
Subject  to a  LIBO-Rate  Option,  the  commitment  of the  Lender  to accept or
implement any Loan Request  intended to establish any Borrowing  Tranche subject
to a LIBO-Rate Option shall be  automatically  canceled and terminated and if it
shall then be  unlawful  or  impossible  as a result  thereof  for the Lender to
permit  or  participate  in  the  continuation  of any  then-existing  Borrowing
Tranches  subject to a LIBO-Rate  Option,  all Borrowing  Tranches  subject to a
LIBO-Rate  Option then outstanding  shall forthwith  terminate upon notice being
given by the Lender to the  Borrower  and the  Borrower  shall pay to the Lender
promptly upon demand a cash amount equal to (a) all interest due with respect to
such  Borrowing   Tranches  as  of  the  date  of  such  termination,   (b)  all
Consequential  Loss,  plus (c) the amount  required to compensate the Lender for
all  reasonable  additional  costs and  expenses,  if any,  which it incurred in
connection with the Borrowing Tranches subject to a LIBO-Rate Option as a result
of such change in applicable Law or regulations or in the interpretation thereof
or as a result of the Lender's  compliance with any such request or directive of
any such Governmental Authority. The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of
any event of which it has knowledge which will make it unlawful or impossible to
establish or maintain Borrowing Tranches subject to a LIBO-Rate Option.

                        (i) Increased  Cost of Borrowing  Tranches  Subject to a
LIBO-Rate  Option.  If the adoption of any applicable Law, rule or regulation or
any change after the date hereof,  in any applicable  Law, rule or regulation or
in the  interpretation or administration  thereof by any Governmental  Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration  thereof, or compliance by the

<PAGE>

Lender  with any request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law)
from any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall:

                             (i) subject the Lender (or make it apparent that it
is  subject)  to  any  tax  (including  without  limitation  any  U.S.  interest
equalization or other tax,  however named),  levy,  impost,  duty,  charge,  fee
(collectively "Taxes"), or any deduction or withholding for any Taxes on or from
any payment due from the Borrower with respect to any Borrowing  Tranche subject
to a  LIBO-Rate  Option,  other than  income and  franchise  taxes of the United
States and its political subdivisions imposed on the Lender;

                             (ii) change the basis of  taxation of payments  due
from the  Borrower  to the  Lender  under any  Borrowing  Tranche  subject  to a
LIBO-Rate  Option (other than by a change in the rate of taxation of the overall
net income of Lender);


                             (iii) impose,  modify,  increase or deem applicable
any reserve  requirement (but excluding that portion of any reserve  requirement
included in the calculation of the LIBO Reserve Requirement as the case may be),
special deposit requirement or similar requirement  (including,  but not limited
to, state Law  requirements,  Regulation D and  Regulation  K) imposed or deemed
applicable by any  Governmental  Authority  charged with the  interpretation  or
administration of such requirements or deemed applicable  against foreign assets
held by or  against  loans  made by the  Lender  or  against  any  other  funds,
obligations or other property owned or held by the Lender;

                             (iv)  affect the amount of capital  required  to be
maintained  by the  Lender or any  corporation  controlling  the  Lender and the
Lender  determines the amount of capital  required is increased by or based upon
the existence of the indebtedness evidenced hereby; or

                             (v)  impose  on  the  Lender  any  other  condition
regarding any Borrowing Tranche subject to a LIBO-Rate Option;

and the result of any of the  foregoing is to increase  (by an amount  deemed by
the Lender to be material) the cost to the Lender of  establishing,  maintaining

<PAGE>

or renewing any such Borrowing  Tranche  subject to a LIBO-Rate  Option,  as the
case may be, or to reduce  the  amount of  principal  or  interest  or other sum
received or  receivable  by the Lender (by an amount  deemed by the Lender to be
material),  then  upon ten (10)  days  written  notice  from the  Lender  to the
Borrower,  the Borrower shall pay to the Lender,  from time to time as specified
by the Lender,  such additional  amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender
for such  increased  cost or  reduced  receipts  or  receivables.  The  Lender's
determination of the amount of any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts
received or receivable,  in the absence of manifest  error,  shall be conclusive
and binding.  The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which
it has knowledge which will entitle the Lender to compensation  pursuant to this
subsection.  If the Lender demands compensation under this Section (i), Borrower
may at any  time,  upon at least two (2) LIBO  Business  Days'  prior  notice to
Lender,  (a) give  notice to the  Lender  that it is  canceling  such  Borrowing
Tranches  subject to a LIBO-Rate  Option,  whereupon each  Borrowing  Tranche so
canceled  shall  terminate and the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Lender
upon  demand  an  amount  equal to all  Consequential  Loss,  if any,  resulting
therefrom, and (b) convert such Borrowing Tranches subject to a LIBO-Rate Option
to the Prime Based Rate. Any certificate of the Lender delivered to the Borrower
setting forth the  determination  of any additional  amounts payable pursuant to
this Section (i) shall be conclusive and binding,  absent  manifest error, as to
such determination and amount.
<PAGE>

                   3.03 Maturity.  The entire outstanding  principal balance due
under the  Revolving  Credit  Loan,  together  with all unpaid  interest  at the
aforesaid rate or rates,  shall be payable on the date that is twenty-four  (24)
months following the Closing Date,  unless  accelerated upon an Event of Default
or sooner  terminated  under the terms  hereof or  terminated  by Borrower  upon
payment of the outstanding  principal  balance of the Revolving  Credit Loan and
payment of all  Reimbursement  Obligations  and  termination  of all  Letters of
Credit,  together with all unpaid interest and fees which are due and payable as
of the date of  termination  (including  but not limited to the  Commitment  Fee
accruing through and including the termination  date) and upon written notice to
Lender,  or extended as provided in Section 2.08 hereof (the date  determined in
accordance herewith shall be called the "Maturity Date").

                   3.04 Interest  Periods.  At any time when the Borrower  shall
select,  convert to or renew a LIBO-Rate  Option,  the Borrower shall notify the
Lender thereof at least two (2) Pittsburgh  Business Days prior to the effective
date of LIBO-Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request.  The notice shall specify
an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply, provided,
that:

                        (a) any Interest  Period which would  otherwise end on a
date which is not a LIBO  Business Day shall be extended to the next  succeeding
LIBO  Business  Day unless  such LIBO  Business  Day falls in the next  calendar
month,  in which case such Interest  Period shall end on the next preceding LIBO
Business Day;

                        (b) any Interest  Period which begins on the last day of
calendar  month  for  which  there is no  numerically  corresponding  day in the
subsequent  calendar month during which such Interest Period is to end shall end
on the last LIBO Business Day of such subsequent month;

                        (c) advances of the  Revolving  Credit Loan to which the
LIBO-Rate  Option  applies,  for each  Interest  Period  shall  not be less than
$100,000;
<PAGE>

                        (d) the Borrower  shall not select,  convert to or renew
an Interest  Period for any portion of the Revolving  Credit Loan that would end
after the Maturity Date; and

                        (e) in the case of the renewal of a LIBO-Rate  Option at
the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be
the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of
interest for such day.

                   3.05  Selection  of Interest  Rate  Options.  If the Borrower
fails to select an Interest  Period in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.02 in the case of renewal of a portion of the Revolving Credit Loan to which a
LIBO-Rate  Option  applies,  the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such
portion  of the  Revolving  Credit  Loan  to the  Prime  Rate  Option  otherwise
available with respect to the Revolving  Credit Loan,  commencing  upon the last
day of  that  Interest  Period.  If an  Event  of  Default  shall  occur  and be
continuing,  the Lender may in its  discretion  limit the  Borrower to the Prime
Rate Option hereunder.

respect of principal, interest, the Commitment Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee, or
other fees or amounts due from the Borrower  hereunder shall be payable prior to

                   4.02  Repayments.  The  Borrower  may repay  portions  of the

                                    ARTICLE V
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                         ------------------------------

                   5.01 Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents
and warrants to the Lender as follows:

                        (a)  Organization and  Qualification.  The Borrower is a
limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization;  the Borrower has the lawful power
to own or lease  its  properties  and to  engage in the  business  it  presently
conducts or proposes to conduct;  and the Borrower is duly licensed or qualified
and in good standing in each jurisdiction  where the property owned or leased by
it or the  nature of the  business  transacted  by it makes  such  licensing  or
qualification necessary.

                        (b) Power and Authority.  The Borrower has full power to
enter into,  execute,  deliver and carry out this  Agreement  and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party, to incur the Indebtedness  contemplated by the
Loan Documents and to perform its obligations  under the Loan Documents to which
it is a party and all such actions have been duly  authorized  by all  necessary
proceedings on its part.

                        (c) Validity and Binding Effect. This Agreement has been
and each  other  Loan  Document  will have been duly and  validly  executed  and
delivered by the Borrower.  This Agreement delivered by the Borrower pursuant to
the provisions hereof will constitute,  legal, valid and binding  obligations of
the  Borrower,  enforceable  against  the  Borrower  in  accordance  with  their

<PAGE>

respective  terms,  except  to  the  extent  that  enforceability  of any of the
foregoing   Loan   Documents   may  be   limited  by   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting the enforceability of
creditors' rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance.

                        (d) No Conflict.  Neither the  execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by the Borrower nor the  consummation
of the transactions herein or therein  contemplated or compliance with the terms
and  provisions  hereof or  thereof by them will  conflict  with,  constitute  a
default  under or result in any  breach of (i) the terms and  conditions  of the
other  organizational  documents  of the  Borrower  or (ii) of any Law or of any
material agreement or instrument or order, writ, judgment,  injunction or decree
to  which  the  Borrower  is a party  or by  which it is bound or to which it is
subject,  or result  in the  creation  or  enforcement  of any  Lien,  charge or
encumbrance  whatsoever  upon any property  (now or  hereafter  acquired) of the
Borrower (other than Liens granted under the Loan Documents).

                        (e) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings
or  investigations  pending or, to the  knowledge  of the  Borrower,  threatened
against  the  Borrower  at  law  or  equity   before  any  Official  Body  which
individually or in the aggregate may result in any Material Adverse Change.  The
Borrower is not in violation of any order, writ, injunction or any decree of any
Official Body which may result in any Material Adverse Change.

                        (f)  Title  to  Properties.  The  Borrower  has good and
marketable fee simple title to all the Properties, assets and other rights which
it purports  to own or which are  reflected  as owned on its books and  records,
free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances except Permitted Liens, and subject
to the terms and conditions of the applicable leases. All leases of property are
in full force and effect  without the  necessity  for any consent  which has not
previously  been obtained upon  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated
hereby.

                        (g) Financial Statements.
<PAGE>

                             (A)   Historical   Statements.   The  Borrower  has
delivered to the Lender copies of its audited  consolidated  year-end  financial
statements for and as of the end of the three fiscal years ended December,  1993
(the "Annual Statements"). In addition, the Borrower has delivered to the Lender
copies of its unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the fiscal
year to date and as of the end of the fiscal  quarter  ended  September 30, 1994
(the "Interim Statements") (the Annual and Interim Statements being collectively
referred to as the  "Historical  Statements").  The Historical  Statements  were
compiled from the books and records maintained by the Borrower's management, are
correct and complete and fairly represent the consolidated  financial  condition
of the Borrower as of their dates and the results of  operations  for the fiscal
periods  then ended  subject (in the case of the Interim  Statements)  to normal
year-end audit adjustments.

                             (B) Accuracy of Financial Statements.  The Borrower
has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments
that are not disclosed in the Historical Statements or in the notes thereto, and
except as disclosed  therein there are no unrealized or anticipated  losses from
any commitments of the Borrower which may cause a Material Adverse Change.

                        (h) Intentionally omitted.

                        (i)  Margin  Stock.  The  Borrower  does not  engage  or
intends to engage  principally,  or as one of its important  activities,  in the
business of  extending  credit for the  purpose,  immediately,  incidentally  or
ultimately,  of  purchasing  or  carrying  margin  stock  (within the meaning of
Regulation U). No part of the proceeds of the Revolving  Credit Loan has been or
will be used, immediately,  incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any
margin  stock or to extend  credit to others for the  purpose of  purchasing  or
carrying any margin stock or to refund Indebtedness originally incurred for such
purpose,  or  for  any  purpose  which  entails  a  violation  of  or  which  is
inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System.  The Borrower does not hold or intend to hold margin

<PAGE>

stock in such amounts that more than 25% of the  reasonable  value of the assets
of the Borrower is or will be represented by margin stock.

                        (j) Full  Disclosure.  Neither  this  Agreement  nor any
other  Loan  Document,  nor  any  certificate,  statement,  agreement  or  other
documents furnished to the Lender in connection herewith or therewith,  contains
any  untrue  statement  of a  material  fact or omits to state a  material  fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light
of the  circumstances  under which they were made, not  misleading.  There is no
fact  known to the  Borrower  which is likely to  result in a  Material  Adverse
Change with respect to the  business,  property,  assets,  financial  condition,
results of operations or prospects of the Borrower, which has not been set forth
in the  Agreement  or in  the  certificates,  statements,  agreements  or  other
documents  furnished  in writing to the Lender prior to or at the date hereof in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

                        (k)  Taxes.  All  federal,  state,  local  and other tax
returns required to have been filed with respect to the Borrower have been filed
and  payment or adequate  provision  has been made for the payment of all taxes,
fees,  assessments and other  governmental  charges which have or may become due
pursuant to said returns or to  assessments  received  except to the extent that
such taxes,  fees,  assessments  and other  charges are being  contested in good
faith  by  appropriate  proceedings  diligently  conducted  and for  which  such
reserves or other appropriate  provisions,  if any, as shall be required by GAAP
shall have been made. There are no agreements or waivers extending the statutory
period  of  limitations  applicable  to any  federal  income  tax  return of the
Borrower for any period.

                        (l) Consents and Approvals. Except for the filing of the
Financing  Statements,  the Mortgages,  the Lease  Assignments  and the Negative
Pledge Agreements in the state and county filing offices, no consent,  approval,
exemption,  order or  authorization  of, or a  registration  or filing  with any
Official  Body or any other  person is required by any Law or any  agreement  in
connection  with the execution,  delivery and carrying out of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents by the Borrower.
<PAGE>

                        (m) No Event of Default; Compliance with Instruments. No
event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists or will exist after
giving  effect to the  borrowings  to be made on the Closing Date under the Loan
Documents  which  constitutes  an Event of Default  or  Potential  Default.  The
Borrower is not in violation of (i) any term of its organizational  documents or
(ii) any material  agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it
or any of its  properties  may be subject or bound  where such  violation  would
constitute a Material Adverse Change.

                        (n) Patents, Trademarks,  Copyrights, Licenses, Etc. The
Borrower owns or possesses all the material patents, trademarks,  service marks,
trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises, permits and rights
necessary  to own and operate  its  properties  and to carry on its  business as
presently  conducted and planned to be conducted by the Borrower,  without known
conflict with the rights of others.

                        (o)  Mortgage  Liens.  The  Liens to be  granted  to the
Lender  pursuant to the Mortgages,  constitute  valid first priority Liens under
applicable  Law.  All such action as will be necessary or advisable to establish
each such Lien of the Lender and its  priority  as  described  in the  preceding
sentence will be taken at or prior to the time  required for such  purpose,  and
there  will be as of the  date  of  execution,  delivery  and  recording  of the
Mortgages no necessity for any further action in order to protect,  preserve and
continue such Liens and such priority.

                        (p) Insurance. All insurance policies and other bonds to
which the Borrower is a party, are valid and in full force and effect. No notice
has been given or claim made and no grounds exist to cancel or avoid any of such
policies or bonds or to reduce the coverage provided thereby.  Such policies and
bonds provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in
amounts  sufficient to insure the assets and risks of the Borrower in accordance
with prudent business practice in the industry of the Borrower.

                        (q) Compliance  with Laws. The Borrower in compliance in
all material  respects with all applicable Laws (other than  Environmental  Laws
which are  specifically  addressed in subsection  (t)) in all  jurisdictions  in

<PAGE>

which the  Borrower is  presently  or will be doing  business  except  where the
failure to do so would not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

                        (r)  Investment  Companies.   The  Borrower  is  not  an
"investment   company"  registered  or  required  to  be  registered  under  the
Investment Company Act of 1940 or under the "control" of an "investment company"
as such terms are  defined in the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 and shall not
become such an "investment company" or under such "control."

                        (s)  Employee  Benefit  Plans.  The  Borrower  is not an
"employer" with respect to, nor does it maintain or contribute to, any "employee
benefit  plan",  as such  terms  are  defined  in ERISA  ss.ss.  3(5) and  3(3),
respectively

                        (t) Environmental Matters.

                             (i) The Borrower has not received any Environmental
Complaint from any Official Body or private person alleging, with respect to the
Properties,  that the Borrower,  or any prior or subsequent  owner of any of the
Properties  is  a  potentially   responsible   party  under  the   Comprehensive
Environmental Response,  Cleanup and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 9601, et seq.,
and the Borrower has no reason to believe that such an  Environmental  Complaint
might be  received.  There  are no  pending  or,  to the  Borrower's  knowledge,
threatened  Environmental  Complaints  with  respect  to any  of the  Properties
relating  to the  Borrower  or,  to  the  Borrower's  knowledge,  any  prior  or
subsequent owner of any of the Properties  pertaining to, or arising out of, any
Environmental Conditions.

                             (ii) Except for conditions,  violations or failures
which individually and in the aggregate are not reasonably likely to result in a
Material  Adverse  Change,  to the best of  Borrower's  knowledge,  there are no
circumstances  at, on or under any of the Properties that constitute a breach of
or non-compliance  with any of the Environmental  Laws, and there are no past or
present  Environmental  Conditions  at, on or under any of the Properties or, to
the  Borrower's  knowledge,  at, on or under  adjacent  property,  that  prevent
compliance with the Environmental Laws at any of the Properties.
<PAGE>

                             (iii)  To the  best of  Borrower's  knowledge,  the
Properties and any structures, improvements,  equipment, fixtures, activities or
facilities  thereon or  thereunder  do not contain or use  Regulated  Substances
except  in  compliance  with   Environmental   Laws.  There  are  no  processes,
facilities, operations, equipment or any other activities at, on or under any of
the  Properties,  or, to the  Borrower's  knowledge,  at,  on or under  adjacent
property,  that  currently  result  in the  release  or  threatened  release  of
Regulated Substances on to any of the Properties, except to the extent that such
releases or threatened releases are not a breach of or otherwise not a violation
of the  Environmental  Laws,  or are not likely to result in a Material  Adverse
Change.

                             (iv) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are
no underground  storage tanks, or underground piping associated with such tanks,
used for the  management  of  Regulated  Substances  at,  on or under any of the
Properties that do not have a full operational  secondary  containment system in
place and are not in compliance  with all  Environmental  Laws, and there are no
abandoned  underground  storage tanks or underground piping associated with such
tanks,  previously  used for the  management of Regulated  Substances  at, on or
under any of the  Properties  that have not been either  abandoned in place,  or
removed, in accordance with the Environmental Laws.

                             (v)  The  Borrower   has  all   material   permits,
licenses,  authorizations  and approvals  necessary under the Environmental Laws
for the conduct of the  business of the  Borrower as  presently  conducted.  The
Borrower has submitted all material notices,  reports and other filings required
by the  Environmental  Laws to be submitted to an Official Body which pertain to
past and current operations on any of the Properties.

                             (vi) Except for violations  which  individually and
in the aggregate are not likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, all past
(from the date of Borrower's ownership) and present on-site generation, storage,
processing, treatment, recycling, reclamation or disposal of Solid Waste at, on,
or  under  any of the  Properties  and  all  off-site  transportation,  storage,

<PAGE>

processing,  treatment,  recycling,  reclamation  or disposal of Solid Waste has
been done in accordance with the Environmental Laws.

                   5.02  Updates  to   ExhibitsSchedules.   Should  any  of  the
information  or  disclosures  provided on any of the  exhibits  attached  hereto
become  outdated or  incorrect  in any  material  respect,  the  Borrower  shall
promptly  provide the Lender in writing  with such  revisions or updates to such

superseded by any such correction or update, nor shall any breach of warranty or
representation  resulting  from the  inaccuracy  or  incompleteness  of any such
schedule be deemed to have been cured thereby,  unless and until the Lender,  in
its sole and absolute discretion,  shall have accepted in writing such revisions
or updates to such exhibit.

which are  asserted  against it,  promptly as and when the same shall become due
and payable,  including all Taxes,  assessments and governmental charges upon it
or any of its properties,  assets, income or profits, prior to the date on which
penalties attach thereto, except to the extent that such liabilities,  including
Taxes,  assessments  or  charges,  are  being  contested  in good  faith  and by
appropriate  and  lawful  proceedings  diligently  conducted  and for which such
reserve or other  appropriate  provisions,  if any, as shall be required by GAAP
shall have been made,  but only to the extent that failure to discharge any such
liabilities  would not result in any additional  liability which would adversely
affect to a material extent the financial  condition of the Borrower which would

<PAGE>

affect the Properties, provided that, the Borrower will pay all such liabilities
forthwith upon the  commencement  of proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may
have attached as security therefor.

                        (c) Maintenance of Insurance. The Borrower shall, insure
its properties and assets,  including the Properties,  against loss or damage by
fire and such other  insurable  hazards  as such  assets  are  commonly  insured

public  liability and business  interruption  insurance) and against other risks
(including  errors and  omissions)  in such  amounts as similar  properties  and
assets are insured by prudent  companies  in similar  circumstances  carrying on
similar  businesses,  and with reputable and  financially  sound insurers all as
reasonably  determined by Lender. The Borrower shall deliver (x) the evidence of
insurance as set forth in Section (f) of Exhibit A attached  hereto with respect
to the Properties on or before the Closing Date and  periodically  thereafter at
the request of Lender an original Accord Form 27 Evidence of Insurance signed by

existence of the insurance on the  Properties  required to be maintained by this
Agreement  and the  other  Loan  Documents  and (y) from  time to time a summary
schedule  indicating  all insurance  then in force with respect to the Borrower.
Such evidence or insurance  shall provide that no  cancellation or change in the
insurance  policies  applicable to the  Properties  shall be effective  until at
least  thirty  (30) days  after  receipt  by Lender  of  written  notice of such
cancellation or change from the insurer.  In the event that the Mortgages on any
of the Other Properties shall be recorded, the insurance provisions contained in
such Mortgages shall be deemed to supersede the insurance covenants contained in
this Agreement with respect to the Other  Properties.  The Borrower shall notify
the Lender  promptly  of any  occurrence  causing a material  loss or decline in
value of the  Properties and the estimated (or actual,  if available)  amount of

names,  copyrights,  licenses,  franchises,  permits  and  other  authorizations
necessary  for the  ownership and  operation of the  Properties  and  Borrower's
business  if the  failure so to maintain  the same would  constitute  a Material
Adverse Change.

                        (f) Visitation  Rights. The Borrower shall permit any of
the officers or authorized  employees or  representatives of the Lender to visit

reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection.

                        (g)  Keeping  of  Records  and  Books  of  Account.  The
Borrower  shall  maintain  and keep proper  books of record and  accounts  which
enable the Borrower to issue  financial  statements in accordance  with the GAAP
and as  otherwise  required  by  applicable  Laws of any  Official  Body  having
jurisdiction  over the  Borrower,  and in which full,  true and correct  entries
shall be made in all  material  respects of all its  dealings  and  business and
financial affairs.

                        (h) Intentionally omitted.

                        (i) Compliance with Laws. The Borrower shall comply with
all applicable Laws,  including all Environmental Laws, in all respects provided
that it shall not be deemed to be a  violation  of this  Section  7.01(i) if any

costs other  similar  liabilities  or  injunctive  relief which in the aggregate
would constitute a Material Adverse Change.
<PAGE>

                        (j) Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower will use the proceeds
of the  Revolving  Credit  Loan only for  lawful  purposes  in  accordance  with
Sections  2.06  hereof as  applicable  and such uses  shall not  contravene  any

<PAGE>

                        (e) From and  after  the date on which  the  Lender  has
taken any action  pursuant to this Section 8.02 and until all Obligations of the
Borrower  have been paid in full,  any and all  proceeds  received by the Lender
from any sale or other  disposition of the Properties,  or any part thereof,  or
the exercise of any other remedy by the Lender, shall be applied as follows:

                             (i) first,  to reimburse the Lender for  reasonable
out-of-pocket  costs,  expenses and disbursements,  including without limitation
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  legal  expenses,  incurred  by the  Lender  in
connection  with realizing on the Properties or collection of any obligations of
the Borrower  under any of the Loan  Documents,  including  advances made by the
Lender for the reasonable maintenance,  preservation,  protection or enforcement
of, or realization upon, the Properties,  including without limitation, advances
for taxes,  insurance,  repairs and the like and reasonable expenses incurred to
sell or otherwise  realize on, or prepare for sale or other  realization on, the
Properties;

                             (ii) second,  to the repayment of all  Indebtedness
then due and unpaid of the Borrower to the Lender  incurred under this Agreement
or any of the Loan Documents, whether of principal,  interest, fees, expenses or
otherwise, in such manner as the Lender may determine in its discretion; and

                             (iii) the balance, if any, as required by Law.

                        (f)  In  addition  to all of  the  rights  and  remedies
contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents (including the
Mortgages),  the Lender  shall have all of the rights and  remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform  Commercial  Code or other  applicable Law, all of which
rights  and  remedies  shall be  cumulative  and  non-exclusive,  to the  extent
permitted by Law. The Lender may,  exercise all  post-default  rights granted to
the Lender under the Loan Documents or applicable Law.

                   8.03 Notice of Sale.  Subject to the provisions of applicable
Law, any notice  required to be given by the Lender of a sale,  lease,  or other

<PAGE>

disposition of the Properties or any other intended action by the Properties, if
given ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute commercially
reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Borrower.

                   8.04 Sale of Properties.  In the  exercise  of the rights and
remedies  granted  to Lender  pursuant  to this  Agreement  and the  other  Loan
Documents with respect to the Properties  comprising the Collateral Pool and the
Other Properties,  Lender agrees that should it be entitled to sell or otherwise
dispose of any of the  Properties,  by foreclosure or otherwise,  it shall first
proceed against OCC I, OCC III and the Kendall Property,  either  simultaneously
or in any such order Lender shall deem appropriate,  provided, however, that, in
the event an Appraisal of OCC I, OCC III, and the Kendall Property(as  performed
pursuant  to the  direction  of Lender  at  Borrower's  sole  cost and  expense)
indicates a  collective  appraised  value  (less the amount of any Liens  having
priority over the  Mortgages on OCC I, OCC III or the Kendall  Property) of less
that  $6,000,000  Lender  shall  have  the  right  to  proceed  against  all the
Properties in any order without  limitation.  To the extent that such  Appraisal
indicates  a  collective  value in  excess of  $6,000,000  and any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral Pool  Properties  described above is inadequate to
fully  compensate  Lender for amounts  owing under this  Agreement and the other
Loan  Documents,  Lender  shall then be  entitled  to proceed  against the Other
Properties and exercise all rights and remedies available to it pursuant to this
Agreement  and the  other  Loan  Documents,  provided  that (I)  nothing  herein
contained  with respect to the order in which Lender may exercise  remedies with
respect to the Properties,  shall be construed to prohibit Lender from obtaining
a judgment lien on any of the Other Properties  (should Borrower fail to execute
and deliver to Lender the Loan Documents with respect to the Other Properties as
required by Section 7.01(m) of this  Agreement)  provided  further that,  Lender
shall not  execute  on any  judgment  lien  obtained  with  respect to the Other
Properties  until it has first proceeded  against OCC I, OCC III and the Kendall
Property as set forth above and (ii) in the  exercise of its rights and remedies
with respect to the  Properties  pursuant to this  Agreement  and the other Loan
Documents,  Lender shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any two or more of the
Properties as an integrated unit.

abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or
privilege  preclude any further exercise  thereof or of any other right,  power,
remedy or privilege.  The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement
and any other Loan  Documents are  cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies which it would otherwise have. Any waiver,  permit, consent or approval

penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any

against  Lender,  in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out
of this  Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by
Lender hereunder or thereunder,  [provided that the Borrower shall not be liable
for any portion of such liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages,  penalties,

Periods),  and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest or
fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

which directly or indirectly controls Lender) of Lender to have made, maintained
or funded any Loan to which a  LIBO-Rate  Option  applies at any time,  provided
that immediately  following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from
the  Borrower to such other  office) and as a result of such change the Borrower

offices may be selected by Lender without  regard to Lender's  actual methods of
making,  maintaining  or funding  advances of the  Revolving  Credit Loan or any
sources of funding actually used by or available to such Bank.

maintain  any  part of the  Revolving  Credit  Loan  hereunder,  all  terms  and
conditions of this Agreement  shall,  except where the context clearly  requires
otherwise,  be applicable to such part of the Revolving  Credit Loan to the same
extent as if advances of the  Revolving  Credit Loan were made or  maintained by
Lender  but in no event  shall  Lender's  use of such a  branch,  subsidiary  or
affiliate to make advances of the Revolving  Credit Loan or maintain any part of
the Revolving  Credit Loan hereunder cause Lender or such branch,  subsidiary or
affiliate  to incur any cost or expenses  payable by the  Borrower  hereunder or
require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to Lender (including, without
limitation, any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 3.02(i) hereof)
which would otherwise not be incurred.

enforceability  thereof in any other  jurisdiction  or the remaining  provisions
hereof in any jurisdiction.
