Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
- -------
McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as
Southmark Prime Plus, L.P., was organized by affiliates of Southmark Corporation
("Southmark") on January 16, 1987, as a limited partnership under the provisions
of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act to make short-term loans
to affiliates of the general partner. The general partner of the Partnership is
McNeil Partners, L.P. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership,
an affiliate of Robert A. McNeil ("McNeil"). The principal place of business for
the Partnership and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road, Suite 600, Dallas,
Texas 75240.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial position and
results of operations. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
However, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.
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, 1997, 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 600, LB70, 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.
<PAGE>
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.
Compensation and reimbursements paid to or accrued for the benefit of the
General Partner or its affiliates are as follows:

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 made loans to affiliates of $75,000 during the first six months of
1998 and $2,336,029 during the first six months of 1997. The Partnership
received repayments from affiliates of $5,724,999 during the first six months of
1998. No repayments were received during the first six months of the prior year.
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 $337,919 and $378,080 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, of which $49,179 and $50,682, respectively, was
paid or payable by the General Partner.
Payable to affiliates at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 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.

pursuant to McPIF's partnership agreement). A total of $483,364 was borrowed by
McPIF pursuant to this commitment, $72,302 of which was repaid in September
1997. This loan was secured by a first lien on Brice Road Office Building
located in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Interest on the loan was payable monthly, with
principal payable in May 1998. In May 1998, McPIF repaid the $411,062 balance of
the loan with proceeds received from a new loan from the Partnership secured by
Verre Center Office Building, as discussed below.
On October 25, 1996, the Partnership agreed to loan an aggregate of $1.68
million to McPIF at an interest rate of prime plus 1% per annum (the maximum

affiliates pursuant to McPIF's partnership agreement). In 1996, $820,426 was
borrowed by McPIF pursuant to this commitment and an additional $75,000 was
borrowed in January 1998. In May 1998, the principal balance of the loan was
increased by $411,062, for total borrowings from the Partnership of $1,306,488.
McPIF used the $411,062 additional proceeds to repay the balance of the mortgage
loan investment secured by Brice Road Office Building, as discussed above. This
loan is secured by a first lien on Verre Center Office Building located in
Chamblee, Georgia. Interest on the loan is payable monthly. Principal is payable
in November 1999.
On February 28, 1997, the Partnership loaned $2,336,029 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). On August 1, 1997, the
mortgage note was amended and the principal balance was increased by $800,000,
for total borrowings from the Partnership of $3,136,029. Fund X used the
$800,000 additional proceeds to repay the $800,000 mortgage loan investment
secured by Lakeview Plaza Shopping Center. This loan was secured by a first lien
on La Plaza Business Center located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Interest on the loan
was payable monthly, with principal payable in February 2000. The loan was
repaid in full in June 1998.
On October 25, 1996, the Partnership loaned $2,588,970 to McNeil Real Estate

secured by a first lien on The Village Apartments located in Gresham, Oregon.
Interest on the loan was payable monthly, with principal payable in November

<PAGE>
NOTE 6.
- -------
In 1996, the Partnership adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
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 the cessation of depreciation on assets held for sale.
Since AAA Century Airport Self-Storage and Burbank Mini-Storage were placed on
the market for sale, no depreciation was taken effective August 1, 1997.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
There has been no significant change in the operations of the Partnership's
properties since December 31, 1997. The Partnership reported net income for the
first six months of 1998 of $1,370,415, comparable to the $1,366,177 reported
for the first six months of 1997. Revenues were $4,934,436 for the first six
months of 1998, up from $4,651,497 for the same period in 1997. Expenses were
$3,564,021 in 1998 as compared to $3,285,320 in 1997.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,738,911 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The Partnership expended $592,425 for capital improvements,
paid $85,003 for the repurchase of limited partnership units (net of a decrease
in cash segregated for the repurchase of limited partnership units) and
distributed $2,247,060 to the limited partners. The Partnership received
$5,649,999 in proceeds from collection of mortgage loan investments affiliates,
net of loans made, and used $3,437,648 to pay off the balance of its revolving
credit agreement. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4,466,858 at June 30, 1998,
a net increase of $2,206,774 from the balance at December 31, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenue:
Total revenue increased by $161,288 and $282,939 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in rental revenue, partially
offset by a decrease in interest income on mortgage loan investments -
affiliates, as discussed below.
Rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 increased by
$202,991 and $317,023, respectively, in relation to the comparable periods in
1997. Rental revenue increased approximately $200,000 and $58,000 at One
Corporate Center I and III office buildings, respectively, mainly due to
increased rental rates.
Interest income on mortgage loan investments - affiliates decreased by $47,126
for the three months and by $40,161 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997. The decrease was mainly due to the
collection of approximately $5.7 million of affiliate loans in the second
quarter of 1998.
<PAGE>
Expenses:
Total expenses increased by $159,775 and $278,701 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year, as discussed below.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 increased by
$12,671 and $47,709, respectively, in relation to the respective periods in the
prior year, due to a greater average amount of borrowings under the
Partnership's line of credit agreement in 1998. The Partnership had borrowed
$1,101,619 as of December 31, 1996. The Partnership borrowed an additional
$2,336,029 at the end of February 1997, resulting in total borrowing under the
line of credit agreement of $3,437,648 as of June 30, 1997. The line of credit
agreement was repaid in full in June 1998.
Property taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 increased
by $33,545 and $68,135, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997.
The increase was mainly due to an increase in the assessed taxable value of One
Corporate Center I and III office buildings by taxing authorities.
Personnel costs increased by $5,619 and $35,284 for the three and six months
ending June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year. The increase was mainly due to an overall increase in office and
maintenance salaries at all the properties in 1998. In addition, there was an
increase in bonuses paid to employees at One Corporate Center I and III office
buildings for renewing tenant leases in the first quarter of 1998.
Utilities expense decreased by $12,531 and $22,928 for the three and six months
ending June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997. The
decrease was mainly due to a decline in electricity usage at One Corporate
Center I and III office buildings as a result of energy-efficient lighting
installed in the last quarter of 1997.
Repairs and maintenance expense increased by $10,933 and decreased by $32,217
for the three and six months ending June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to
the same periods in 1997. The overall decrease was mainly due to lower snow
removal expenses at One Corporate Center I and III office buildings in the first
quarter of 1998 due to a milder winter in Minnesota, where the properties are
located. This decrease was partially offset by parking lot repair expenses at
One Corporate Center I and II in the second quarter of 1998.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, property management fees -
affiliates increased by $17,150 and $24,723, respectively, in relation to the
same periods in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in
gross rental receipts at One Corporate Center I and III office buildings, on
which the fees are based.
Other property operating expenses decreased by $22,784 and $42,780 for the three
and six months ending June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the periods in
the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in bad debts at all
of the properties in 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased by $135,562 and $242,253 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1997. The increase was mainly due to costs incurred to explore
alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership (see Liquidity and Capital
Resources).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnership generated $2,738,911 of cash through operating activities in the
first six months of 1998 as compared to $2,252,220 for the same period in 1997.
Cash received from tenants increased in 1998 partially due to an increase in
rental revenue, as discussed above. In addition, a tenant reimbursed One
Corporate Center I approximately $183,000 in 1998 for tenant improvements
completed on its behalf. There was also a decrease in cash paid to affiliates in
1998. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were partially
offset by an increase in cash paid to suppliers, mainly due to an increase in
general and administrative costs, as discussed above.
The Partnership expended $592,425 and $226,114 for capital improvements to its
properties for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase
in 1998 was mainly the result of the replacement of the roofs at AAA Sentry and
Fountainbleau mini-storages.
The Partnership loaned $75,000 to an affiliate of the General Partner and
received $5,724,999 in repayments on loans to affiliates in the first six months
of 1998. In June 1998, the Partnership repaid the $3,437,648 balance of its
revolving credit agreement. In the first six months of 1997, the Partnership
received $2,336,029 from its line of credit agreement, which it loaned to an
affiliate of the General Partner.
The Partnership distributed $2,247,060 and $1,999,970 to the limited partners in
the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively. In light of the discussions
relating to the sale transaction as disclosed, the Partnership is presently
deferring any decision with respect to the amount or timing of distributions to
limited partners.
Short-term liquidity:
At June 30, 1998, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $4,466,858.
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 1998. The Partnership has budgeted approximately $1.2 million for
necessary capital improvements for all properties in 1998 which is expected to
be funded from available cash reserves or from operations of the properties.
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.
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.
<PAGE>
As previously announced, the Partnership has retained PaineWebber
("PaineWebber"), Incorporated as its exclusive financial advisor to explore
alternatives to maximize the value of the Partnership including, without
limitation, a transaction in which limited partnership interests in the
Partnership are converted into cash. The Partnership, through PaineWebber, has
provided financial and other information to interested parties and is currently
conducting discussions with one such party in an attempt to reach a definitive
agreement with respect to a sale transaction. It is possible that the General
Partner and its affiliates will receive non-cash consideration for their
ownership interests in connection with any such transaction. There can be no
assurance that any such agreement will be reached nor the terms thereof.
The Partnership has placed AAA Century Airport Self-Storage and Burbank
Mini-Storage on the market for sale effective August 1, 1997.
Forward-Looking Information:
Within this document, certain statements are made as to the expected occupancy
trends, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the
Partnership for periods after June 30, 1998. All of these statements are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not
historical and involve risks and uncertainties. The Partnership's actual
occupancy trends, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for
future periods may differ materially due to several factors. These factors
include, but are not limited to, the Partnership's ability to control costs,
make necessary capital improvements, negotiate sales or refinancings of its
properties, and respond to changing economic and competitive factors.
Other Information:
Management has begun to review its information technology infrastructure to
identify any systems that could be affected by the year 2000 problem. The year
2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Any programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in major systems failure or
miscalculations. The information systems used by the Partnership for financial
reporting and significant accounting functions were made year 2000 compliant
during recent systems conversions. The Partnership is in the process of
evaluating the computer systems at the various properties. The Partnership also
intends to communicate with suppliers, financial institutions and others to
coordinate year 2000 issues. Management believes that the remediation of any
outstanding year 2000 conversion issues will not have a material or adverse
effect on the Partnership's operations.

Fund XXIV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund XXV, L.P., McNeil Real Estate Fund
XXVI, L.P., and McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P., et al. - Superior Court of
the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC133799 (Class
and Derivative Action Complaint).
The action involves purported class and derivative actions brought by limited
partners of each of the fourteen limited partnerships that were named as nominal
defendants as listed above (the "Partnerships"). Plaintiffs allege that McNeil
Investors, Inc., its affiliate McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc. and three of
their senior officers and/or directors (collectively, the "Defendants") breached
their fiduciary duties and certain obligations under the respective Amended
Partnership Agreement. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants have rendered such
Units highly illiquid and artificially depressed the prices that are available
for Units on the resale market. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants engaged
in a course of conduct to prevent the acquisition of Units by an affiliate of
Carl Icahn by disseminating purportedly false, misleading and inadequate
information. Plaintiffs further allege that Defendants acted to advance their
own personal interests at the expense of the Partnerships' public unit holders
by failing to sell Partnership properties and failing to make distributions to
unitholders.
On December 16, 1996, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated and amended complaint.
Plaintiffs are suing for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and an
accounting, alleging, among other things, that the management fees paid to the
McNeil affiliates over the last six years are excessive, that these fees should
be reduced retroactively and that the respective Amended Partnership Agreements
governing the Partnerships are invalid.
Defendants filed a demurrer to the consolidated and amended complaint and a
motion to strike on February 14, 1997, seeking to dismiss the consolidated and
amended complaint in all respects. A hearing on Defendant's demurrer and motion
to strike was held on May 5, 1997. The Court granted Defendants' demurrer,
dismissing the consolidated and amended complaint with leave to amend. On
October 31, 1997, the Plaintiffs filed a second consolidated and amended
complaint. The case has been stayed pending settlement discussions. While
actively working toward a final resolution, there can be no assurances regarding
settlement.
