                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1998

NOTE 1.
- -------

McNeil Real Estate  Fund XXII,  L.P.,  (the  "Partnership"),  formerly  known as
Southmark  Realty  Partners  II, Ltd.,  was  organized on November 30, 1984 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 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 three months 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 XXII, 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  residential  property to McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.
("McREMI"),  an affiliate  of McNeil,  for  providing  property  management  and
leasing services.

The  Partnership  reimburses  McREMI  for  its  costs,  including  overhead,  of
administering the Partnership's affairs.

The  Partnership  is incurring 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 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
$1,337,207 were outstanding at March 31, 1998.



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



                                                                            Three Months Ended

Dick and Aloma Anderson v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. , McNeil Partners,
L.P., Wayne T. Shipp, the Wayne Shipp Agency,  Inc., Southmark Investment Group,
Inc. and  Southmark  Realty  Partners,  Ltd.  This lawsuit was filed in November
1993, in  Washington  State in the Clark County  Superior  Court.  In 1985,  the
plaintiffs apparently spent $22,000 to purchase limited partnership interests in
Southmark  Realty  Partners  Ltd. II , (not named by them as a defendant ) whose
name is now McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. (the  "Partnership").  Plaintiffs
allege that in connection with the transactions by which McNeil  Partners,  L.P.
became general  partner of the  Partnership,  and by which certain  changes were
made in the Partnership, the McNeil entities engaged in the offer and/or sale of
unregistered  securities in violation of  Washington  law. The  plaintiffs  have
alleged that certain of the other  defendants -- specifically  Mr. Shipp and the
Shipp  Insurance  Agency  --  engaged  in fraud in  connection  with the sale of
limited partnership  interests in the Partnership to plaintiffs.  The plaintiffs
have not made fraud allegations against any of the McNeil or Southmark entities.
The  majority  of  plaintiffs'  claims  against  the  Partnership  are  based on
allegations  that the  securities are not registered in the State of Washington.
Although it is the  Partnership's  position  that it did not violate  Washington
law, in order to avoid any claims of successor  liability  and to avoid  further
legal costs, the Partnership and the Shipp defendants  agreed to settle with the
plaintiffs by each paying $15,000 to plaintiffs in exchange for a release of all
claims.  This  amount  was  paid by the  Partnership  on April  27,  1998 and is
included in general and administrative  expenses on the Statement of Operations.
Settlement  documents  have been executed.  An Order of Dismissal  issued by the
Court is expected by May 15, 1998.











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

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

The occupancy rate at Harbour Club III Apartments was 95% at March 31, 1998. The
occupancy rate at March 31, 1997, was 94%.  Harbour Club III Apartments was able
to provide enough cash flow from operations to meet ordinary  operating expenses
as well as the debt  service for its related  mortgage  note for the first three
months of 1998. The property is in need of major capital  improvements  in order
to  compete  in its local  market,  and the  Partnership  has begun a program to
complete such capital  improvements  to be funded from  existing cash  reserves.
However,  there can be no  assurances  that such  reserves will be sufficient to
complete all needed improvements.

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

Revenue:

Total Partnership revenues increased by $46,798 or 8% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period of 1997.  Rental revenue increased
$43,441 or 8% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared the same period
in 1997.  Interest income for the first three months of 1998 increased by $3,357
as compared to prior period.

Expenses:

Total  expenses  increased by $52,197 or 9% for the three months ended March 31,
1998.

Depreciation  expense  increased $30,806 or 29% for the three months ended March
31,  1998 as  compared  to the same  period of last year.  The  increase  can be
attributed to  depreciation  of the more than  $511,000 of capital  improvements
added during 1997,  being  amortized  over useful lives ranging from five to ten
years.

Property tax expense is based on estimates  during the year. When the actual tax
bill is received,  the expense is adjusted accordingly.  During the last quarter
of 1997,  an  approximately  $42,000  adjustment  to  decrease  the first  three
quarters  estimate was made.  After taking this  adjustment  into  account,  the
expense is comparable for the first three months of 1998 and 1997.

Repair and maintenance expenses were decreased by $9,237 or 14% during the three
months  ended  March 31,  1998 as  compared  to the same  period for 1997.  This
decrease is mainly  attributable  to lower snow  removal  expenses due to milder
winter  conditions during the first three months of 1998 as compared to the same
period for 1997.  Additionally,  Harbour Club III replaced  less  carpeting  and
flooring  during the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same
period for 1997.

Other property  operating  expenses decreased $8,445 or 31% for the period ended
March  31,  1998 as  compared  to the  same  period  for  1997.  This is  mainly
attributable to bad debt  collections of more than $8,700 during the first three
months of 1998.


General and  administrative  expenses  increased by $44,144 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period of 1997.  The  increase  was
mainly due to costs  incurred to explore  alternatives  to maximize the value of
the Partnership (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).

General and  administrative  - affiliates  increased $7,541 for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998 as compared to the same period of 1997 due to an increase
in the asset  management fee. This increase was primarily due to the increase of
the net operating  income on Harbour Club III on which the asset  management fee
is based.

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

The Partnership was provided $164,165 of cash by operating activities during the
first three  months of 1998 as compared to $104,012 for the same period in 1997.
Cash  received  from tenants  increased by $68,791  mainly due to rental  income
increases of more than $43,000 at Harbour Club III Apartments.

Cash used for additions to real estate was $73,293 during the first three months
of 1998 as compared to $1,310  during the same period of 1997. A greater  amount
was spent in 1998 at Harbour Club III for landscape and signage improvements, as
well as electrical upgrades.  In addition,  hallway renovations were capitalized
during the first three months of 1998.

Cash used for principal payments on the mortgage note payable was $23,582 during
the first  three  months of 1998 as  compared  to $21,993 for the same period of
1997.

Short-term liquidity:

At March 31, 1998, the Partnership  held $861,920 of cash and cash  equivalents.
The General Partner considers this level of cash reserves to be adequate to meet
the Partnership's operating needs. The General Partner believes that anticipated
operating results for 1998 will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's budgeted
capital  improvements  for  1998  and  to  repay  the  current  portion  of  the
Partnership's  mortgage  note.  Effective  January 23, 1997,  the mortgage  note
payable was sold by HUD to an unaffiliated buyer.

Long-term liquidity:

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.






Distributions:

To maintain adequate cash balances of the Partnership,  distributions to Current
Income Unit holders were suspended in 1988.  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.

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Dick and Aloma Anderson v. McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. , McNeil Partners,
L.P., Wayne T. Shipp, the Wayne Shipp Agency,  Inc., Southmark Investment Group,
Inc. and  Southmark  Realty  Partners,  Ltd.  This lawsuit was filed in November
1993, in  Washington  State in the Clark County  Superior  Court.  In 1985,  the
plaintiffs apparently spent $22,000 to purchase limited partnership interests in
Southmark  Realty  Partners  Ltd. II , (not named by them as a defendant ) whose
name is now McNeil Real Estate Fund XXII, L.P. (the  "Partnership").  Plaintiffs
allege that in connection with the transactions by which McNeil  Partners,  L.P.
became general  partner of the  Partnership,  and by which certain  changes were
made in the Partnership, the McNeil entities engaged in the offer and/or sale of
unregistered  securities in violation of  Washington  law. The  plaintiffs  have
alleged that certain of the other  defendants -- specifically  Mr. Shipp and the
Shipp  Insurance  Agency  --  engaged  in fraud in  connection  with the sale of
limited partnership  interests in the Partnership to plaintiffs.  The plaintiffs
have not made fraud allegations against any of the McNeil or Southmark entities.
The  majority  of  plaintiffs'  claims  against  the  Partnership  are  based on
allegations  that the  securities are not registered in the State of Washington.
Although it is the  Partnership's  position  that it did not violate  Washington
law, in order to avoid any claims of successor  liability  and to avoid  further
legal costs, the Partnership and the Shipp defendants  agreed to settle with the
plaintiffs by each paying $15,000 to plaintiffs in exchange for a release of all
claims.  Settlement documents have been executed.  An Order of Dismissal  issued
by the Court is expected by May 15, 1998.
