                                 March 31, 1996

NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real  Estate Fund XXVII,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"),  formerly  known as
Southmark Prime Plus, L.P., was organized by affiliates of Southmark Corporation
("Southmark") on January 16, 1987, as a limited partnership under the provisions
of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to make short-term loans
to affiliates of the general partner.  The general partner of the Partnership is
McNeil Partners,  L.P. (the "General Partner"),  a Delaware limited partnership,
an affiliate of Robert A. McNeil ("McNeil"). The principal place of business for
the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road,  Suite 700,  Dallas,
Texas 75240.

In the opinion of management,  the financial  statements reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair  presentation of the Partnership's  financial  position and
results  of  operations.  All  adjustments  were of a normal  recurring  nature.
However, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2.
- -------

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

NOTE 3.
- -------

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 5% of the gross rental
receipts for its mini-storage warehouses and 6% of gross rental receipts for its
commercial  properties to McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.  ("McREMI"),  an
affiliate of the General Partner, for providing property management services for
the Partnership's  mini-storage warehouses and commercial properties and leasing
services  for its  mini-storage  warehouses.  McREMI may also  choose to provide
leasing  services for the  Partnership's  commercial  properties,  in which case
McREMI will receive  property  management fees from such  commercial  properties
equal to 3% of the  property's  gross rental  receipts plus leasing  commissions
based on the  prevailing  market rate for such  services  where the  property is
located.

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

The  Partnership  is paying an asset  management  fee,  which is  payable to the
General  Partner.  Through 1999, the asset management fee is calculated as 1% of
the  Partnership's  tangible asset value.  Tangible asset value is determined by
using the greater of (i) an amount calculated by applying a capitalization  rate
of 9% to the annualized net operating income of each property or (ii) a value of
$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.   Total  accrued  but  unpaid  asset  management  fees  of  $143,884  were
outstanding at March 31, 1996.

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

</TABLE>

Under  the  terms of its  amended  partnership  agreement,  the  Partnership  is
expressly  permitted to make loans to affiliates of the General Partner, so long
as such loans meet certain  conditions,  including that such loans bear interest
at a rate of prime plus 2.5%,  or prime plus 3.5% if the loan is junior to other
indebtedness. These loans are secured by income-producing real estate and may be
either  junior or senior to other  indebtedness  secured by such  property.  The
Partnership  received repayments from affiliates of $952,538 and $972,000 during
the first three months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

In order to induce the  Partnership  to lend funds to  affiliates of the General
Partner,  the  General  Partner  agreed to pay (i) the  difference  between  the
interest rate required by the Partnership's  amended partnership agreement to be
charged to  affiliates  and the interest  rate actually paid by certain of those
affiliates,  and (ii) all  points  (1.5%  or 2% if the loan is  junior  to other
indebtedness),  closing costs and expenses.  The Partnership  recorded  interest
income on  affiliate  loans of $38,959 and $93,971  for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, of which $6,794 and $6,719, respectively,
was paid or payable by the General Partner.

Payable  to  affiliates  at March  31,  1996 and  December  31,  1995  consisted
primarily of a  performance  incentive  fee of $141,647  accrued in prior years,
Partnership  general and  administrative  expenses,  asset  management  fees and
prepaid interest. Except for the performance incentive fee and prepaid interest,
all accrued fees are due and payable from current operations.

On March 21, 1996, the mortgage loan investment plus accrued interest secured by
A-Quality Mini-Storage, was paid off in full by the borrower.

in 1996 as compared to $1,740,187 in 1995.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  was  $1,315,500 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  comparable  to the  $1,118,787  provided  during the same
three  month  period in 1995.  The  Partnership  expended  $101,335  for capital
improvements,  $1,520 for the repurchase of limited  partnership units (net of a
decrease in cash segregated for the repurchase of limited partnership units) and
distributed  $2,999,997  to  the  limited  partners.  The  Partnership  received
$952,538 for repayment of affiliate loans and collected  $1,361,771 of principal
on its mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated borrower,  resulting in a net
increase in cash and cash  equivalents  of $526,957 for the quarter  ended March

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

Revenue:

Total revenue decreased by $56,643 the first three months of 1996 as compared to
the same period in the prior year, as discussed below.

Rental revenue remained  substantially the same for the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the first quarter of 1995. Rental revenue decreased  slightly at One
Corporate  Center III office building due to a decrease in occupancy from 96% in
the first quarter of 1995 down to 91% in the same period in 1996. Rental revenue
also decreased at AAA Sentry and Margate  mini-storages  due to slight decreases
in  occupancy  in  1996.  Rental  revenue  increased  at  the  remainder  of the
properties, mainly due to increases in rental rates.

Interest income on the Partnership's mortgage loan investment to an unaffiliated
borrower (the A-Quality  Mini-Storage  loan)  increased by $31,513 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1996 in relation to the  comparable  period in the prior
year.

Interest income on mortgage loans investments - affiliates  decreased by $55,012
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The decrease was mainly the result of lower total loans outstanding in the
first quarter of 1996. The Partnership had $1.3 million of loans  outstanding at
March 31, 1996 as compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 1995.

In the first quarter of 1995, the Partnership received a $30,515 refund of prior
years'  property  taxes for AAA  Century  Mini  Storage as a result of an appeal
filed on behalf of the property. No such tax refund was received in 1996.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  decreased  by $178,985  for the first  three  months of 1996 as
compared  to the same  period in the prior  year,  mainly due to a  decrease  in
interest expense, as discussed below.

Interest expense decreased by $162,496 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
in relation to the respective  period in the prior year. The decrease was due to
the repayment of the Partnership's mortgage note payable in the third quarter of
1995. The interest expense recorded in 1996 represents  amortization of deferred
borrowing  costs  incurred in  connection  with  obtaining a $5 million  line of
credit.

Repairs and  maintenance  increased  by $16,648 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was mainly due to
a greater amount of snow removal costs being incurred at One Corporate  Center I
and One Corporate  Center III office buildings due to heavy snowfall in the area
in 1996.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased  by $5,530 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as  compared  to the same period in 1995.  The  increase is
mainly due to an increase in audit expense.

General  and  administrative  -  affiliates  decreased  by $33,501 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease
is due to a lower amount of overhead expenses being allocated to the Partnership
by McREMI.

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

The Partnership generated $1,315,500 of cash through operating activities in the
first  three  months of 1996 as compared  to  $1,118,787  for the same period in
1995.

The Partnership received $1,361,771 of principal on its mortgage loan investment
to an unaffiliated borrower in 1996 as compared to $64,099 in 1995. The increase
was due to the balance of the mortgage loan  investment  being repaid in full by
the borrower in the first quarter of 1996.

The Partnership paid $36,393 in principal  payments on its mortgage note payable
in the three  months ended March 31, 1995.  No principal  payments  were made in
1996 since the loan was repaid in full in the third quarter of 1995.

The  Partnership  distributed  $2,999,997  to the limited  partners in the first
quarter of 1996. No distributions were paid to the limited partners in 1995.

Short-term liquidity:

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $6,245,614.
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 is  expected  to be funded from
available cash reserves or from operations of the properties.


<PAGE>

The  Partnership  distributed  $2,999,997  to the limited  partners in the first
quarter  of 1996.  At the  present  time,  the  Partnership  anticipates  making
additional  distributions  to  the  limited  partners  in  1996.  Management  is
currently reviewing cash requirements to determine the amount and timing of such
distributions.
