                  Notes to Financial Statements
                           (Unaudited)
                                
                          June 30, 1994
                                
NOTE 1.
- - ------

McNeil  Real  Estate  Fund  XII,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  was
organized  February  2,  1981 as a limited partnership  organized
under   the   provisions  of  the  California   Uniform   Limited
Partnership  Act.   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
Partnership  is  governed  by  an amended  and  restated  limited
partnership  agreement, dated September  6,  1991  (the  "Amended
Partnership Agreement").  The principal place of business for the
Partnership  and  the General Partner is 13760 Noel  Road,  Suite
700, 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 six months ended June 30, 1994  are
not  necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1994.

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, 1993, and the notes
thereto,  as  filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
which  is available upon request by writing to McNeil Real Estate
Fund  XII, Ltd. c/o McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., Investor
Services, 13760 Noel Road, Suite 700, LB70, Dallas, Texas  75240.

NOTE 3.
- - ------

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that  the  Partnership  will continue as a  going  concern.   The
Partnership has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
a  net  Partners' deficit that raise substantial doubt about  its
ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4.
- - ------

Certain  reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts
to conform with current period presentation.

NOTE 5.
- - ------

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
choose   to   provide  leasing  services  for  the  Partnership's
commercial  properties,  in  which case  McREMI  will  receive  a
property management fee from such commercial properties equal  to
3% of the property's gross rental receipts plus 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.

Affiliates  of  the General Partner have advanced  funds  to  the
Partnership to meet working capital requirements.  These advances
and  mortgage loans accrue interest at a rate equal to the  prime
lending rate plus 1%.



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.  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.
Prior  to July 1, 1993, the MID consists of two components:   (i)
the  fixed  portion which is payable without respect to  the  net
income of the Partnership and is equal to 25% of the maximum  MID
(the  "Fixed MID") and (ii) a contingent portion which is payable
only to the extent of the lesser of the Partnership's excess cash
flow,  as  defined,  or  net operating income  (the  "Entitlement
Amount")  and  is  equal to up to 75% of  the  maximum  MID  (the
"Contingent   MID").    The  maximum  MID  percentage   decreases
subsequent to 1999.

The General Partner amended the Amended Partnership Agreement  as
a  settlement  to  a  class  action  complaint.   This  amendment
eliminates the Fixed MID portion and makes the entire MID payable
to  the  extent of the Entitlement Amount.  In all other respects
the  calculation  and payment of the MID will  remain  the  same.
This modified MID became effective July 1, 1993.

Fixed  MID  was  payable in limited partnership  units  ("Units")
unless  the  Entitlement Amount exceeded the amount necessary  to
pay  the  Contingent MID in which case, at the General  Partner's
option, the Fixed MID could have been paid in cash to the  extent
of such excess.

Contingent  MID  will be paid to the extent  of  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  Fixed  MID is treated as a  fee  payable  to  the
General  Partner by the Partnership for services  rendered.   The
Contingent  MID  is  treated  as a distribution  to  the  General
Partner  in  compliance  with  terms  of the  Amended Partnership 
Agreement.

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

NOTE 6.
- - ------

The  mortgages  encumbering two of the Partnership's  properties,
Channingway and Village East, contain  provisions which may  give
the lenders the right to accelerate the mortgage debt as a result
of the approved restructuring.  The General Partner has requested
that  the  lenders waive their right to accelerate  the  mortgage
debt.   The lenders may require the payment of fees or additional
interest  as a condition to granting such waiver.  In  the  event
the  waiver is not obtained as to any mortgage, and the  mortgage
debt  is accelerated, the Partnership will be required to satisfy
the  outstanding mortgage debt, which approximated $15.9  million
at June 30, 1994.  In such event, the Partnership will attempt to
arrange alternative sources of mortgage financing.  However,  any
such refinancing may be at an interest rate which is higher or is
otherwise  on terms which are less favorable than those  provided
by  the  current mortgage. Furthermore, if alternative  financing
cannot  be obtained, each lender could foreclose on the  property
securing its mortgage amount.

NOTE 7.
- - ------

On  June 1, 1994, the Partnership stopped making the debt service
payments  on Fox Run's mortgage notes due to recurring  operating
deficits  at the property.  This constitutes an event of  default
under  terms  of Fox Run's mortgage notes and the  lenders  could
foreclose on Fox Run.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- - ------  ----------------------------------------------------------------
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        ---------------------

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

The  Partnership  was formed to acquire, operate  and  ultimately
dispose  of a portfolio of income-producing properties.  At  June
30, 1994, the Partnership owned nine apartment properties and two
shopping  centers.   All  of  the  Partnership's  properties  are
subject to mortgage notes.

There  has  been no significant change in financial condition  of
the   Partnership  since  December  31,  1993.   The  Partnership
reported  a  net loss of $1,380,669 for the first six  months  of
1994  as compared to a net loss of $2,620,944 for the same period
in 1993.  Revenues declined in 1994 to $10,843,656 as compared to
$11,875,657  in  1993,  at the same time  expenses  decreased  to
$12,224,325 from $14,496,601.

Net  cash  provided by operating activities was $96,470  for  the
period.  After expenditures of $586,829 for capital improvements,
$825,405 in principal payments on mortgage notes, and $32,757  in
deferred  borrowing  costs plus payment  of  mortgage  loans  and
advances from affiliates of $2,803,799, the net decrease in  cash
of $4,152,320 was deducted from cash and cash equivalents, giving
a  balance of $1,113,695 at June 30, 1994 as compared to $867,423
at June 30, 1993.

The  balances of cash and cash equivalents held at June 30,  1994
include  $219,761 for tenant security deposits held  in  interest
bearing  accounts,  whereas at December 31,  1993,  $347,986  was
segregated.

There  has  been no significant change in the operations  of  the
Partnership's properties since December  31,  1993. See "Revenue"
and "Expenses" below for additional information regarding changes
between years.



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

Revenue:

Rental  revenue  for  the six months of 1994 was  $10,814,456  as
compared  to  $11,854,058  for the same  period  in  1993.   This
decrease  of $1,039,602 or 8.8% is primarily due to the  loss  of
$1,743,180 in rental revenue generated from Cedar Mill  Crossing,
which  was  sold in December 1993.  This decrease was  offset  by
rental increases at ten of the remaining eleven properties.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses decreased by $2,272,276 for the  first  six
months of 1994 as compared to the same period last year primarily
due  to  the sale of Cedar Mill Crossing.  The effects from  this
transaction were declines of $654,900 for interest, $214,452  for
depreciation, $164,820 for property taxes, $155,636 for personnel
expenses,  $156,177  for  utilities,  $204,860  for  repair   and
maintenance,  $86,956 for property management fees -  affiliates,
and $98,501 other property operating expenses.

In  addition  to the sale of Cedar Mill Crossing,  other  factors
affected   the  level  of  expenses  reported  by  the  remaining
properties.  Interest expense decreased $327,505 or 8% due to the
refinancing of the mortgage note payable at Brendon Way, and  the
reduction of the mortgage principal balance through the sale of a
parcel  of  land at Plaza Westlake in 1993.  Interest  expense  -
affiliates decreased by  $101,928 or  61.4%  for  the  first  six
months of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 due to  the
repayment of $2,803,799 of affiliate loans and advances.

Depreciation expense increased by $157,219 or 7.4%  for  the  six
months ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993
due   to  the  increase  in  capital  improvements  made  at  the
properties.

Personnel expenses increased by $67,032 or 5.3% for the first six
months  of  1994 as compared to the same period in  1993  due  to
additional  part-time staff, an increase in maintenance  employee
hours,  and  an  increase  in incentive bonus'  paid.   Personnel
expenses, excluding the sale of Cedar Mill Crossing, decreased by
$42,936  for the three month period ending June 1994 as  compared
to the same period in 1993 due to replacement of on-site staff at
lower salaries.

Utilities increased by $96,121 or 10.3% for the first six  months
of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 due to an increase
in the cost and usage of gas and oil during the winter months.

Repairs  and maintenance decreased by $156,692 or 10.5%  for  the
first  six months of 1994 as compared to the same period in  1993
because  the increased expenditures for capital improvements  the
Partnership incurred have reduced certain repairs and maintenance
expenditures.

Other  property operating expenses increased by $67,135 or  11.3%
for  the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same  period
in  1993 primarily due to increases in professional services, bad
debt and hazard insurance.

General  and administrative decreased by $140,336 or 66% for  the
first  six months of 1994 as compared to the same period in  1993
primarily  due to a reduction in tax preparation and legal  costs
incurred by the partnership in 1994.

General  and  administrative - affiliates decreased  $204,555  or
44.8%  for  the  first six months of 1994 as  compared  to  1993,
primarily   due  to  an  amendment  to  the  Amended  Partnership
Agreement which eliminated the Fixed MID effective July 1993  and
also  due  to  a  reduction  in  the  Partnership's  portion   of
reimbursable costs.



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

At  June 30, 1994, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents
of  $1,133,695  (of  which  $219,761 was  segregated  for  tenant
security  deposits), down $4,152,320 from the balance at December
31,  1993.   In January, the Partnership paid $2,400,000  to  the
General  Partner for repayment of advances, accrued interest  and
fees.   Also, the Partnership repaid all mortgage loans to McNeil
Real Estate Fund XXVII, L.P. ("Fund XXVII") totaling $1,603,135.

The  Partnership's working capital needs have been  supported  by
advances from affiliates during the past several years.  Some  of
that  support was provided on a short-term basis to meet  monthly
operating requirements, with repayment occurring as funds  became
available; other advances were longer term in nature due to  lack
of funds for repayment.  The General Partner has also allowed the
Partnership to defer payment of Contingent MID and reimbursements
until   such  time  as  the  Partnership's  cash  reserves  allow
payments.   Finally, the Partnership operations  have  also  been
supported  by  affiliate funding in the form  of  mortgage  notes
payable.   As previously discussed, $2,809,799 of these  advances
and  loans  were  repaid in January 1994.  The  Partnership  also
repaid  $1,193,336 in accrued interest and Fixed MID  in  January
1994.

Operations of the Partnership's properties in 1994, however,  are
not  expected to provide significant levels of cash necessary  to
complete  routine repairs, maintenance, and capital  improvements
and  replacements  to  preserve and  enhance  the  value  of  the
properties.   The  Partnership holds $390,207 in escrow  accounts
for  property improvements at specific properties. Because of the
low  level of cash reserves after the January 1994 payments  made
to affiliates, capital expenditures other than those which can be
recovered  from  the  escrow accounts will  be  closely  reviewed
before any funds are committed.  No expenditures are expected  to
exceed the revenues that the properties earn from operations.

During  1994,  the  Partnership is faced with mortgage  principal
payments  and mortgage maturities on Fox Run, Millwood  Park  and
Village   East,  totalling  approximately  $7,938,000.    It   is
management's  policy to negotiate extensions of  such  maturities
when possible.  Management has negotiated a one year extension on
Millwood  Park  and  is  currently  negotiating  refinancing  for
Village  East.   Management has also ceased making  debt  service
payments on Fox Run.  Additionally, the Partnership is faced with
approximately  $27,275,000  of mortgage  principal  payments  and
mortgage  maturities in 1995.  In the event  the  Partnership  is
unable  to arrange refinancing or other arrangements for  payment
or extensions of the remaining loans, the properties securing the
mortgages may be lost through foreclosure.

McNeil  has established a revolving credit facility not to exceed
$5,000,000 in the aggregate which will be 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 additional  funds  under  the
facility  because no amounts will be reserved for any  particular
partnership.  As of June 30, 1994, $1,664,971  remained available
for borrowing under the facility, however, additional funds could
become  available  as  other  partnerships  repay borrowings. The
General Partner is not obligated to advance funds to the Partner-
ship and there is no assurance that  the Partnership will receive
additional funds.

Should  market  conditions  change  and  operations  deteriorate,
present cash resources may be insufficient to meet current needs.
Other  than available portions of the $5,000,000 revolving credit
facility and any additional financing from Fund XXVII, which  may
not   be   available  when  required  by  the  Partnership,   the
Partnership has no existing lines of credit from outside sources.
Other  sources  of working capital may be required  and  no  such
other sources have been identified.



Possible actions to resolve operating deficiencies include  sales
of  properties,  refinancing or renegotiating terms  of  existing
loans,   deferring  major  capital  expenditures,  except   where
improvements  are  expected  to enhance  the  competitiveness  or
marketability of the properties, or arranging additional  support
from  affiliates.  Additional affiliate support is  not  assured,
since  neither  the  General  Partner  nor  any  affiliates  have
obligations to make advances in excess of any unused  portion  of
the   revolving   credit  facility.   Sales  of  properties   are
possibilities, and Fox Run, Village East, Lamar Plaza  and  Plaza
Westlake are currently held for sale.  There is no assurance that
a  sale  can be completed, nor that a closing could be  timed  to
coincide with the Partnership's cash needs.

The  mortgages  encumbering two of the Partnership's  properties,
Channingway and Village East, contain  provisions which may  give
the lenders the right to accelerate the mortgage debt as a result
of the approved restructuring.  The General Partner has requested
that  the  lenders waive their right to accelerate  the  mortgage
debt.   The lenders may require the payment of fees or additional
interest  as a condition to granting such waiver.  In  the  event
the  waiver is not obtained as to any mortgage, and the  mortgage
debt  is accelerated, the Partnership will be required to satisfy
the  outstanding mortgage debt, which approximated $15.9  million
at June 30, 1994.  In such event, the Partnership will attempt to
arrange alternative sources of mortgage financing.  However,  any
such refinancing may be at an interest rate which is higher or is
otherwise  on terms which are less favorable than those  provided
by  the  current mortgage. Furthermore, if alternative  financing
cannot  be obtained, each lender could foreclose on the  property
securing its mortgage amount.

Distributions to limited partners, last paid in 1984, will remain
suspended  until  Partnership cash reserves  are  rebuilt  to  an
adequate  level,  and  will resume only if clearly  supported  by
property  operations.   A  distribution  of  $597,772   for   the
Contingent  MID has been accrued by the Partnership at  June  30,
1994 for the General Partner.


                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
- - ------   -------------------------------

The  Partnership  is  in default on certain terms  of  Fox  Run's
mortgage  notes.  Fox Run's mortgage notes requires monthly  debt
service  payments  of $35,328.  In addition, the  Partnership  is
required  to  pay certain escrow amounts on a monthly  basis  for
property  taxes. These additional payments total $8,293  for  Fox
Run.   Due to recurring operating deficits at Fox Run Apartments,
the  real  estate securing these mortgage notes, the  Partnership
stopped making debt service payments with the payment due June 1,
1994.  As of August 12, 1994 the amount of the arrearage  on  Fox
Run's mortgage notes is $130,863.
