FORT MEIGS PLAZA BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS, OWNER'S DEFICIT AND CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS BALANCE SHEET AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS, OWNER'S DEFICIT AND CASH FLOWS FOR EACH OF THE TWO YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 UNAUDITED REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Owner of Fort Meigs Plaza: We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Fort Meigs Plaza (a property wholly-owned by McNeil Real Estate Fund XXI, L.P., the "Owner") as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, changes in owner's deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fort Meigs Plaza as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Property will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Property's Owner is in default on approximately $3.7 million in mortgage note debt that is secured by the Property, and for which no extensions, modifications, or refinancings have yet been negotiated. There is no guarantee that such negotiations can be completed. The Owner's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Property's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Dallas, Texas March 20, 1998 FORT MEIGS PLAZA BALANCE SHEETS December 31, ----------------------------------------- 1997 1996 ----------------- ---------------- (Unaudited) ASSETS ------ Asset held for sale: Land $ 367,193 $ 367,193 Buildings and tenant improvements 4,594,690 4,530,376 ---------------- --------------- 4,961,883 4,897,569 Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization (2,165,895) (2,165,895) ----------------- ---------------- 2,795,988 2,731,674 Cash 18,953 10,291 Cash segregated for tenant security deposits 10,358 8,383 Accounts receivable 100,314 104,137 Prepaid expenses and other assets 11,654 6,478 ---------------- --------------- $ 2,937,267 $ 2,860,963 ================ =============== LIABILITIES AND OWNER'S DEFICIT ------------------------------- Mortgage note payable $ - $ 3,011,293 Mortgage notes payable - affiliate 3,730,076 733,900 Accrued interest payable 105,655 93,146 Accrued property taxes 75,992 74,880 Accounts payable and other accrued expenses 536 - Accounts payable - affiliate 3,200 3,004 Tenant security deposits and deferred rental revenue 8,850 7,980 --------------- --------------- 3,924,309 3,924,203 Commitments and contingencies Owner's deficit (987,042) (1,063,240) --------------- --------------- $ 2,937,267 $ 2,860,963 ================ =============== See accompanying notes to financial statements.

FORT MEIGS PLAZA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Organization ------------ Fort Meigs Plaza (the "Property") is wholly-owned by McNeil Real Estate XXI, L.P. (the "Owner"). The Property is a 104,990 square foot strip shopping center located in Perrysburg, Ohio, a city lying just outside of Toledo, Ohio. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the records of the Property and include its assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The accompanying financial statements do not include assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses pertaining to the operation of the Owner or of other properties in which the Owner has an ownership interest. Buildings and Tenant Improvements --------------------------------- The Property's buildings and tenant improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization through October 1, 1996. Depreciation and amortization were computed principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which ranged from 5 to 25 years. Tenant improvements were amortized over the life of the respective lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever was shorter. The Owner placed the Property on the market for sale October 1, 1996. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," depreciation and amortization ceased on that date. Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Property leases its units under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain leases provide concessions and/or periods of escalating or free rent. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases. The excess of the rental revenue recognized over the contractual rental payments is recorded as accrued rent receivable and is included in accounts receivable on the Balance Sheet. Future minimum rents to be received as of December 31, 1997 are as follows: 1998.............................. $ 573,846 1999.............................. 498,124 2000.............................. 375,223 2001.............................. 337,222 2002.............................. 60,201 Thereafter........................ 362,875 -------------- Total........................... $ 2,207,491 ============== Future minimum rents do not include contingent rentals based on sales volume of tenants. Contingent rents amounted to $50,026 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Future minimum rents also do not include expense reimbursements for common area maintenance, property taxes, and other expenses. These expense reimbursements amounted to $65,786 for the year ended December 31, 1997. These contingent rents and expense reimbursements are included in rental revenue on the Statements of Operations. Note 2 - Mortgage Notes Payable - Affiliate - ------------------------------------------- The following sets forth the mortgage notes payable - affiliate of the Owner of the Property at December 31, 1997. The mortgage notes are in the Owner's name and are secured by the Property. Mortgage Annual Monthly Lien Interest Payments/ Position(a) Rates % Maturity - ----------- -------- ---------- First 12.81 $33,333 03/98 $ 2,996,176 Second 8.25 $4,073(b) 09/97 733,900 -------------- $ 3,730,076 ============== (a) The debt is non-recourse to the Owner. (b) Payments are interest-only equal to an effective interest rate of 6.66%. All accrued interest is due at maturity. In December 1997, McNeil Real Estate Fund XX, L.P. ("Fund XX"), the affiliated partnership of the Owner that holds the second lien mortgage secured by the Property, purchased the first lien mortgage note from the unaffiliated lender. The Owner is in default on payment of both the first and second liens on the Property as the notes matured on March 1, 1998 and September 1, 1997, respectively. The Property is currently on the market for sale and the Owner has received an offer from a non-affiliate to purchase the property for $3.8 million. The Owner will continue to make regularly scheduled debt service payments on the first and second lien mortgage notes until the Property can be sold. If the pending sales transaction is not completed, the Owner will attempt to renegotiate the terms of the affiliate debt. However, such refinancing may be at an interest rate which is higher, or otherwise on terms which are less favorable than those provided by the current mortgage. Furthermore, if alternative financing cannot be obtained, the affiliate lender could foreclose on the Property which secures the mortgage. Management believes the possibility of this outcome is unlikely. Note 3 - Transactions with Affiliates - ------------------------------------- Property Management Fees ------------------------ The Owner pays property management fees of 6% of gross receipts of the Property to McNeil Real Estate Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Owner, for providing property management and leasing services to the Property. Accounts Payable - Affiliate ---------------------------- Accounts payable - affiliate at December 31, 1997 consists of property management fees which are due and payable from current operations. Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies - -------------------------------------- The Property is engaged in legal actions arising from the normal course of business. In management's opinion, the Property has adequate legal defenses with respect to these actions, and the resolution of these matters should have no material adverse effects upon the results of operations or financial condition of the Property.
