See accompanying notes to financial statements. McNEIL REAL ESTATE FUND XXI, L.P. Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) September 30, 1996 NOTE 1. - ------- McNeil Real Estate Fund XXI, L.P. (the "Partnership"), formerly known as Southmark Realty Partners, Ltd., was organized on November 23, 1983 as a limited partnership under the provisions of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act to acquire and operate commercial and residential properties. 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, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 XXI, L.P. 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 previously relied on advances from affiliates to meet its debt obligations and to fund capital improvements. Additionally, the Partnership has had to defer payment of payables to affiliates in order to meet its working capital needs. Additionally, the Partnership is faced with mortgage note maturities of approximately $9.2 million in 1997 for which no extensions, modifications or refinancings have yet been negotiated. There is no guarantee that such negotiations can be completed. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. NOTE 4. - ------- Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. NOTE 5. - ------- The Partnership pays property management fees equal to 5% of gross rental receipts for its residential properties 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 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. 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 $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. The fee percentage decreases subsequent to 1999. Total accrued but unpaid asset management fees of $2,831,399 were outstanding at September 30, 1996. The Partnership pays a disposition fee to an affiliate of the General Partner equal to 3% of the gross sales price for brokerage services performed in connection with the sale of the Partnership's properties. The fee is due and payable at the time the sale closes. In connection with the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall, total accrued but unpaid disposition fees of $346,050 were outstanding at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Prior to the restructuring of the Partnership, affiliates of the Original General Partner advanced funds to enable the Partnership to meet its working capital requirements. These advances were purchased by, and are now payable to, the General Partner. The total advances from affiliates at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 1996 1995 ------------- ------------ Advances purchased by General Partner....... $ 630,574 $ 630,574 Accrued interest payable.................... 89,970 46,027 --------- --------- $ 720,544 $ 676,601 ========= ========= Compensation and reimbursements paid to or accrued for the benefit of the General Partner and its affiliates are as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, ------------------------ 1996 1995 ---------- ----------- Property management fees........................... $ 249,970 $ 271,870 Charged to gain on disposition of real estate: Disposition fee................................. - 346,050 Charged to interest -affiliates: Interest on advances from affiliates............ 43,943 70,908 Interest on mortgage note payable - affiliates.. 46,084 94,673 Charged to general and administrative -affiliates: Partnership administration...................... 230,765 301,077 Asset management fee............................ 300,863 300,145 ---------- ---------- $ 871,625 $ 1,384,723 ========== ========== Payable to affiliates at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consisted primarily of unpaid asset management fees, property management fees, disposition fees and partnership general and administrative expenses and are due and payable from current operations. NOTE 6. - ------- On July 12 and September 9, 1996, Governour's Square Apartments suffered damage from two separate hurricanes. Repairs are estimated to cost approximately $131,000, $81,000 of which is expected to be covered by the insurance carrier. The basis of the damaged property approximated the expected proceeds to be received from the insurance carrier. NOTE 7. - ------- 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 Fort Meigs Plaza is currently classified as an asset held for sale, no depreciation will be taken effective October 1, 1996. NOTE 8. - ------- On March 31, 1995, Suburban Plaza was sold to an unrelated third party for a cash price of $6,910,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- Net loss for the first nine months of 1996 was $847,645 as compared to net income of $146,752 for the same period in 1995. On March 31, 1995, Wyoming Mall was sold to an unrelated third party for a cash price of $9,250,000. The Partnership had a 50% undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and operations of Wyoming Mall, owned jointly with McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. The Partnership received net cash proceeds of $877,664 from the sale of the property and recorded a loss on disposition of real estate of $245,637. The Partnership recorded $256,873 of revenue and $268,760 of expense for the first nine months of 1995 for Wyoming Mall. Suburban Plaza was sold to an unrelated third party for a cash price of $6,910,000. The Partnership received net cash proceeds of $1,322,253 and recorded a gain on disposition of real estate of $1,861,448. The Partnership recorded $306,747 of revenue and $328,237 of expense for the first nine months of 1995 for Suburban Plaza. The Partnership's working capital needs have been supported by net proceeds from the December 1993 sale of Hickory Lake Apartments and the March 1995 sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall and by deferring certain affiliate payables. The Partnership has had little ready cash reserves since its inception. It has been largely dependent on affiliates to support its operations. Although no additional advances from affiliates were required during the first nine months of 1996, at September 30, 1996 the Partnership owed affiliate advances of $720,544 and payables to affiliates for property management fees, Partnership general and administrative expenses, asset management fees and disposition fees totaling $4,083,881. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Revenue: Rental revenue increased by $83,551 for the three months and decreased by $253,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The overall decrease was primarily due to the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall, which contributed rental revenue of approximately $306,000 and $255,000, respectively, in the first nine months of 1995. Increased occupancy at Bedford Green Apartments and Wise County Plaza, and increased rental rates at Governour's Square partially offset the loss in rental revenue from the sold properties. During the first nine months of 1995, the partnership recognized a gain on disposition of real estate on Suburban Plaza of $1,861,448 and a loss on the sale of Wyoming Mall of $245,637. Expenses: Total expenses decreased by $158,643 and $881,665 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The decreases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, property taxes, personnel costs and property management fees are primarily due to the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall in March 1995. Interest - affiliates decreased by $1,095 and $75,554 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The decrease was mainly due to the repayment of $973,000 of advances and $1,331,000 of mortgage notes payable from affiliates in the first half of 1995. Other property operating expenses decreased by $63,114 and $126,149 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The decreases were mainly due to the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall, which incurred approximately $46,000 of other property operating expenses in the first nine months of 1995. In addition, Wise County Plaza incurred $18,000 to settle litigation with a tenant in 1995. All of the properties experienced a decrease in employee training and marketing costs in 1996. General and administrative - affiliates decreased by $30,461 and $69,594 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The decrease was mainly due to a lower amount of overhead expenses being allocated to the Partnership by McREMI. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- At September 30, 1996, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of $1,629,136. Cash of $298,826 was provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 1996 as compared to $138,135 provided during the same period in 1995. Cash received from tenants, cash paid to suppliers, interest paid, and property taxes paid decreased due to the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall. No interest was received from affiliates during the first nine months of 1996 since the previous advances of $300,000 to McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. ("McNeil XXII") for Wyoming Mall were paid off in 1995. With the proceeds from the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall, the Partnership was able to repay $973,000 of advances and $1,331,000 of mortgage notes payable from affiliates in the first half of 1995, thereby reducing the interest paid to affiliates during the first half of 1996. The Partnership received $2,199,917 of proceeds from the sales of Suburban Plaza and Wyoming Mall during the first nine months of 1995. Additionally, the Partnership received $300,000 in 1995 from McNeil XXII for repayment of previous advances for Wyoming Mall. Short-term liquidity For the remainder of 1996, present cash balances and operations of the properties are expected to provide sufficient cash for normal operating expenses, debt service payments and budgeted capital improvements. The Partnership has no established lines of credit from outside sources. Although affiliates of the Partnership have previously funded cash deficits, there can be no assurance the Partnership will receive additional funds. Other possible actions to resolve cash deficiencies include refinancing, deferring major capital or repair expenditures on Partnership properties except where improvements are expected to enhance the competitiveness and marketability of the properties, deferring payables to or arranging financing from affiliates or the ultimate sale of other properties. 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 additional funds under the facility because no amounts have been reserved for any particular partnership. As of September 30, 1996, $4,082,159 remained available for borrowing under the facility; however, additional funds could be available as other partnerships repay existing borrowings. This commitment will terminate on March 26, 1997. Additionally, the General Partner has, in its discretion, advanced funds to the Partnership in addition to the revolving credit facility. The General Partner is not obligated to advance funds to the Partnership and there is no assurance that the Partnership will receive additional funds. Long-term liquidity Operations of the Partnership's properties are expected to provide sufficient cash flow for operating expenses, debt service payments and capital improvements in the foreseeable future. The Partnership has significant mortgage maturities during 1997, and management expects to refinance these mortgage notes as they mature. If management is unable to refinance the mortgage notes as they mature; the Partnership will require other sources of cash. No such sources have been identified. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Distributions To maintain adequate cash balances of the Partnership, distributions to Current Income Unit holders were suspended in 1989. There have been no distributions to Growth/Shelter Units holders. Distributions to Unit holders will remain suspended for the foreseeable future. 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 Unit holders. PART II.
