                                   (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1998


NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real Estate Fund X, Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a limited  partnership
organized  under the laws of the State of California to invest in real property.
The general  partner of the Partnership is McNeil  Partners,  L.P. (the "General
Partner"), a Delaware limited partnership, an affiliate of Robert A. McNeil. The
Partnership  is governed by an agreement of limited  partnership  (the  "Amended
Partnership Agreement") that was adopted October 9, 1991. The principal place of
business for the Partnership  and the General Partner is 13760 Noel Road,  Suite
600, LB70, 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 quarter ended March 31, 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 X, Ltd.,  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 of the Partnership's properties to McNeil Real Estate Management,  Inc.
("McREMI"),  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner,  for  providing  property
management services for the Partnership's  residential and commercial properties
and leasing services for its residential  properties.  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 terms of the Amended  Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership is paying a
Management  Incentive  Distribution  ("MID") to the General Partner. The maximum
MID is  calculated  as 1% of the tangible  asset value of the  Partnership.  The
maximum MID  percentage  decreases  subsequent to 1999.  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 $10,000 per apartment unit for residential  property
and $50 per gross square foot for commercial  property 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.

MID will be paid to the extent of the lesser of the  Partnership's  excess  cash
flow,  as  defined,  or net  operating  income,  as  defined  (the  "Entitlement
Amount"),  and may be paid (i) in cash, unless there is insufficient cash to pay
the  distribution  in which event any unpaid  portion not taken in Units will be
deferred and is payable,  without interest, from the first available cash and/or
(ii) in Units.  A maximum of 50% of the MID may be paid in Units.  The number of
Units  issued in payment  of the MID is based on the  greater of $50 per Unit or
the net tangible asset value, as defined, per Unit.

Any  amount  of the MID that is paid to the  General  Partner  in Units  will be
treated as if cash is distributed to the General Partner and is then contributed
to the Partnership by the General Partner. The MID represents a return of equity
to the General Partner for increasing cash flow, as defined,  and accordingly is
treated as a distribution.

On August 1, 1994,  the  Partnership  obtained  an $800,000  mortgage  loan from
McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. ("Fund XXVII"),  an affiliate of the General
Partner.  The mortgage loan is secured by a second lien on Lakeview Plaza. Terms
of the mortgage loan require monthly  interest-only  payments equal to the prime
lending rate of Bank of America plus 1% with the principal balance due August 1,
1997.  Effective  August 1,  1997,  Fund XXVII  reconveyed  the lien back to the
Partnership  in  consideration  of the  additional  borrowing  discussed  in the
following paragraph.

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with
a $2,336,029  mortgage  loan from Fund XXVII.  See Note 4.  Effective  August 1,
1997,  the  Partnership  borrowed an additional  $800,000  from Fund XXVII.  The
refinancing and the additional borrowing are jointly secured by a single lien on
La Plaza Office Building. Payment terms for the mortgage note and the additional
borrowing  require  monthly  interest-only  payments  equal to 1% plus the prime
lending  rate of Bank of  America.  The new  mortgage  note,  together  with the
additional borrowing, is due February 28, 2000.




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



                                                                               Three Months Ended

NOTE 4.

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with
a $2,336,029 mortgage note from Fund XXVII. The new mortgage note bears interest
at a variable  rate equal to 1% plus the prime  lending  rate of Bank of America
and requires monthly  interest-only debt service payments until the February 28,
2000  maturity  date. Cash used to  close  the  refinancing  transaction  is  as

The  Partnership  sold two retail  shopping  centers  during  1997.  Cave Spring
Corners,  located in  Roanoke,  Virginia,  was sold on June 5, 1997,  and Iberia
Plaza,  located in New Iberia,  Louisiana,  was sold on December 12,  1997.  The
decision to sell the properties was influenced by the General  Partner's  belief
that the appreciation potential of the two properties was limited, the impending
maturities  of the  mortgage  notes  secured by the two  properties,  and by the
Partnership's  announced plan to liquidate its real estate by December 2001. The
net  proceeds  from the sales,  in the amount of  $3,679,598,  were added to the
Partnership's balance of cash reserves.

On February 28, 1997, the Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note. The
Partnership obtained a 3-year,  $2,336,029 mortgage note from McNeil Real Estate
Fund XXVII,  L.P.  ("Fund  XXVII").  Fund XXVII is an  affiliate  of the General
Partner.  The new mortgage  note bears  interest at a variable  rate equal to 1%
plus  the  prime  lending  rate of Bank of  America.  On  August  1,  1997,  the
Partnership  and Fund XXVII agreed to amend the new mortgage  note by increasing
the principal amount by $800,000.  The additional $800,000 was used to repay the
Lakeview Plaza second mortgage note, which was also due to Fund XXVII.

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

The  Partnership  reported  a loss of $2,752 for the first  quarter of 1998,  as
compared to net income of $34,788 for the first  quarter of 1997.  However,  the
Partnership  would have  reported a net loss of  approximately  $111,055 for the
first  quarter of 1997 if revenues and expenses  related to Cave Spring  Corners
and Iberia Plaza were excluded.

Revenues:

Rental revenue decreased 6.4% for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to first
quarter of 1997. The decrease is  attributable to the loss of revenues from Cave
Spring  Corners  and  Iberia  Plaza.  The  Partnership's   remaining  properties
increased their revenues  $96,765 or 2.7%.  Rental revenue  increased at five of
the Partnership's properties, led by a 12.9% and 12.2% increase at Quail Meadows
Apartments  and Briarwood  Apartments,  respectively.  Quail Meadows  Apartments
reported  increased  rental and  occupancy  rates,  while  Briarwood  Apartments
achieved  its  increase   primarily  through  improved   occupancy.   Coppermill
Apartments,  Sandpiper Apartments and Spanish Oaks Apartments reported increases
ranging  from 3.9% to 7.5% by  improving  both rental and  occupancy  rates.  An
increase in rental  rates at Regency  Park  Apartments  was offset by  increased
vacancy losses, leading to no change for the property's rental revenue.



Rental  revenue  decreased at Orchard  Apartments,  Lakeview  Plaza and La Plaza
Office  Building.  Although Orchard  Apartments  increased its rental rates 1.5%
during 1997, increased vacancy and other rental losses led to a 6.0% decrease in
net rental revenue. Lakeview Plaza's rental revenue decreased 15% as both rental
and occupancy rates decreased.  La Plaza Office  Building's  occupancy rate also
fell, but part of the increase in vacancy was offset by increased  rental rates.
La  Plaza's  rental  revenue  decreased  6.1% for the first  quarter  of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997.

Expenses:

Partnership expenses decreased $201,934 or 5.1% for the first quarter of 1998 as
compared to the first quarter of 1997. As with rental revenues, the decrease was
primarily due to the sale of Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia Plaza.  Expenses at
the remainder of the  Partnership's  properties  decreased  $3,587 or 0.1%.  The
discussion of expenses in the following  paragraphs excludes expenses related to
Cave Spring Corners and Iberia Plaza.

Interest paid to affiliates  increased  $36,472 to $73,460 for the first quarter
of 1998 as compared to the first  quarter of 1997.  On February  28,  1997,  the
Partnership refinanced the La Plaza mortgage note with a new mortgage payable to
McNeil Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. ("Fund XXVII"),  an affiliate of the General
Partner.  On August 1, 1997, the principal  balance of the new La Plaza mortgage
note was increased by $800,000.  Interest on the new La Plaza  mortgage note due
to an  affiliate  of the General  Partner  accounts for the increase in interest
paid to  affiliates  as well as most of the  decrease  in  interest  expense for
non-affiliated mortgage notes.

Excluding  expense  related to Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia Plaza,  utilities
decreased $37,218 or 10.2% for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same
quarter of 1997. Costs for gas and oil decreased at Coppermill Apartments, Quail
Meadows  Apartments and Spanish Oaks Apartments.  The most  significant  factor,
however,  is a  $20,441  or 56%  decrease  in the  cost of  water  at  Sandpiper
Apartments.  Beginning  in the  fourth  quarter of 1997,  new leases  written at
Sandpiper Apartments require tenants to pay for water consumption instead of the
Partnership.

Other  operating  expenses  decreased  $26,686 or 11.4%  after  eliminating  the
effects of Cave Spring  Corners and Iberia  Plaza.  Included in other  operating
expenses for the first  quarter of 1997 were certain  legal fees and other costs
incurred at Briarwood  Apartments.  These fees and costs were incurred to settle
litigation involving a former employee of the property.

General and administrative expenses increased $106,563 to $191,859 for the first
quarter of 1998 as  compared  to the first  quarter of 1997.  The  increase  was
principally due to costs incurred to explore  alternatives to maximize the value
of  the  Partnership  (see  Liquidity  and  Capital   Resources).   General  and
administrative  expenses paid to affiliates  decreased  12.3% to $82,778 for the
first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first quarter of 1997. This decrease is
primarily due to decreased charges for reimbursable costs from affiliates.  Such
costs  are  based,  in  part,  on the  number  of  properties  managed  for  the
Partnership  by  affiliates.  The  sale of two of the  Partnership's  properties
during 1997 accounts for the decrease.







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

For the first  quarter  of 1998,  cash flow  provided  by  operating  activities
increased to $633,545 from $44,159.  The increased cash flow is principally  due
to an $835,779  decrease in cash paid to affiliates in the first quarter of 1998
as compared  to the first  quarter of 1997.  The  Partnership  paid  $806,902 of
reimbursable costs to affiliates of the General Partner during the first quarter
of 1997. No such payments were made during the first quarter of 1998.

The Partnership  continues to invest in capital improvements for its properties.
For the first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Partnership  invested  $81,163 in capital
improvements.  A total of $1.6 million of capital  improvements are budgeted for
1998.

Short-term liquidity:

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership held cash reserves of $1,622,344,  a decrease
of  $4,133,632  from the  balance  at the end of 1997.  On March 30,  1998,  the
Partnership  distributed  $4,499,998 to the limited partners. No payments of MID
have yet been made to the  General  Partner  in 1998.  Considering  the  current
performance of the  Partnership's  properties and budgeted capital  improvements
for 1998,  the General  Partner  considers the current  balance of cash and cash
reserves adequate to meet the Partnership's cash needs for the rest of 1998. The
Partnership's next balloon payment is not scheduled to occur until January 2002.

Over the past three years,  the  Partnership has invested large amounts of funds
in capital  improvements at the Partnership's  properties.  Although significant
challenges remain,  total capital expenditures for 1998 are expected to decrease
from the average amount expended in each of the past three fiscal years. For the
balance  of 1998,  the  largest  capital  projects  of the  Partnership  will be
concentrated at La Plaza Office Building as the property undergoes refurbishment
to allow it to take advantage of a strong Las Vegas market.

Long-term liquidity:

For the long-term,  property operations will remain the primary source of funds.
In this regard,  the General Partner expects that the capital  improvements made
by the  Partnership  during the past several years will yield improved cash flow
from property  operations in the future.  Furthermore,  the General  Partner has
budgeted an  additional  $1.6 million of capital  improvements  for 1998. If the
Partnership's cash position deteriorates, the General Partner may elect to defer
certain of the capital improvements, except where such improvements are expected
to  increase  the   competitiveness   or  marketability  of  the   Partnership's
properties.

Pursuant  to the  Partnership's  previously  announced  liquidation  plans,  the
Partnership  has recently  retained  PaineWebber,  Incorporated as its exclusive
financial  advisor  to  explore  alternatives  to  maximize  the  value  of  the
Partnership.  The  alternatives  being  considered by the  Partnership  include,
without limitation,  a transaction in which limited partnership interests in the
Partnership  are converted into cash. The General  Partner of the Partnership or
entities or persons  affiliated with the General Partner will not be involved as
a purchaser in any of the transactions  contemplated above. Any transaction will
be subject to certain conditions  including (i) approval by the limited partners
of the Partnership, and (ii) receipt of an opinion from an independent financial
advisory  firm  as  to  the  fairness  of  the  consideration  received  by  the
Partnership  pursuant to such  transaction.  Finally,  there can be no assurance
that any transaction will be consummated, or as to the terms thereof.

Income Allocations and Distributions:

Terms  of  the  Amended   Partnership   Agreement  specify  that  income  before
depreciation  is allocated  to the General  Partner to the extent of MID paid in
cash. Depreciation is allocated in the ratio of 95:5 to the limited partners and
the General Partner,  respectively.  Therefore, for the three month period ended
March  31,  1998  and  1997,  net  loss  of  $138  and  net  income  of  $1,739,
respectively,  were  allocated  to the General  Partner.  The  limited  partners
received  allocations  of net loss of $2,614 and net  income of $33,049  for the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

No payments of MID to the General  Partner  have yet been paid during  1998.  On
March 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  distributed  $4,499,998  ($33.34 per limited
partnership unit) to the limited partners.  The General Partner will continue to
monitor  the cash  reserves  and working  capital  needs of the  Partnership  to
determine when cash flows will support distributions to the limited partners and
payments of MID to the General Partner.
