                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Accounting Policy:

Mortgage servicing fees have been reclassified and are included in
administrative expenses during 1995. This reclassification has also been made
to the previously reported 1994 statements in order to conform with the
classification used in 1995. This reclassification has not changed the 1994
results. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the nine months
and quarter ended September 30, 1995, and all such adjustments are of a normal
and recurring nature.

2. Interest Expense:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership did not incur
or pay interest expense on mortgage notes payable on properties owned by the
Partnership. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership
incurred and paid interest expense on mortgage notes payable of $72,493.

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1995 are:

4. Subsequent Events:

(a) In October 1995, the Partnership paid a distribution of $358,375 ($5.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing the
quarterly distribution of available Cash Flow for the third quarter of 1995.

(b) In 1990, the Partnership commenced proceedings against the guarantors of
the loan collateralized by the Normandy Mall and Norwood Plaza shopping centers
after the loan was placed in default.  The Partnership obtained title to the
properties in 1991 pursuant to a foreclosure but continued the action against
the guarantors.  In October 1995, the Partnership received $600,000 from the
guarantors in settlement of the lawsuit.

                        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

   Balcor Pension Investors (the "Partnership") was formed in 1977 to invest
   in wrap-around mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, in other junior
   mortgage loans and first mortgage loans. The Partnership raised $71,675,000
   through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these
   proceeds to fund thirty-six loans. Currently, the Partnership has two loans
   and two properties in its portfolio. 

   Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates
   primarily to the time period since the end of the last fiscal year,
   investors are encouraged to review the financial statements and the
   management's discussion and analysis contained in the annual report for
   1994 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial
   position.

   Operations
   ----------

   Summary of Operations
   --------------------

   The Partnership recognized a net loss during the nine months and quarter
   ended September 30, 1995 as compared to net income during the same periods
   in 1994 due to the recognition of a provision for potential losses related
   to its loans.  Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
   summarized below.    

   1995 Compared to 1994
   ---------------------

   Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1994 and 1995
   refer to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

   Net interest income on loans receivable decreased during the nine months
   ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 primarily
   due to reduced payments received on the Waterford/Ferndale Centers loan
   which is on nonaccrual status.  For nonaccrual loans, income is recorded
   only as cash payments are received from borrowers.  The funds advanced by
   the Partnership for this loan are approximately $1,500,000.  The loan
   matured in November 1993 and the borrower did not make the payment due.
   See Liquidity and Capital Resources, below, for additional information. 

   Income from operations of real estate held for sale represents the net
   property operations of the properties acquired by the Partnership through
   foreclosure.  The Emerald Ridge Apartments, which were generating income,
   were sold in April 1994.  Operations at the Nob Hill Apartments - Phase I
   improved during 1995 due to increased rental income resulting from
   increased occupancy and decreased costs for structural repairs.  In
   addition, Huntington Plaza Shopping Center received from tenants prior
   years' real estate tax reimbursements in 1994 and prior years' common area
   maintenance reimbursements in 1994 and August 1995.  As a result, income
   from real estate held for sale increased during the quarter and decreased
   during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same
   periods in 1994.  
<PAGE>
   Allowances are charged to income when the General Partner believes an
   impairment has occurred, either in a borrower's ability to repay the loan
   or in the value of the collateral property. Determinations of fair value
   are made periodically on the basis of performance under the terms of the
   loan agreement and assessments of property operations. Determinations of
   fair value represent estimations based on many variables which affect the
   value of real estate, including economic and demographic conditions. The
   Partnership recognized a provision for potential losses of $1,726,547
   related to the North Capital Building loan during the quarter ended
   September 30, 1995.  While actual losses may vary from time to time because
   of changes in circumstances (such as occupancy rates, rental rates, and
   other economic factors), the General Partner believes that adequate
   recognition has been given to loss exposure in the portfolio at September
   30, 1995.

   Primarily as a result of higher interest rates, interest income on
   short-term investments increased during the nine months ended September 30,
   1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  However, as a result of less
   cash available for investment due to special distributions to the Limited
   Partners in July 1995, interest income on short-term investments decreased
   during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period
   in 1994.       

   General Partner management fees increased as a result of the special
   distribution of Cash Flow made in July 1995.

   Administrative expenses increased as a result of higher legal fees relating
   to litigation involving Normandy Mall.    

   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   -------------------------------

   The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of September 30, 1995
   when compared to December 31, 1994 primarily due to the payment of special
   distributions to Limited Partners in July 1995. 

   The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an
   amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related
   expenditures, which include debt service payments. During the nine months
   ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Nob Hill Apartments - Phase I and
   Huntington Plaza Shopping Center generated positive cash flow.  Emerald
   Ridge Apartments also generated positive cash flow prior to being sold in
   April 1994.  As of September 30, 1995, occupancy rates were 89% and 82% at
   the Nob Hill Apartments - Phase I and Huntington Plaza, respectively.  Many
   rental markets continue to remain extremely competitive; therefore, the
   General Partner's goals are to maintain high occupancy levels, while
   increasing rents where possible, and to monitor and control operating
   expenses and capital improvement requirements at the properties. 

   The Waterford/Ferndale Centers wrap-around loan matured in November 1993.
   The borrowers failed to make the payment due and one of the borrowers filed
   for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code which proceedings were
   dismissed in September 1995.  The Partnership continues to negotiate for a
   resolution of the outstanding matters. 

   In 1990, the Partnership commenced proceedings against the guarantors of
   the loan collateralized by the Normandy Mall and Norwood Plaza shopping
   centers after the loan was placed in default.  The Partnership obtained
   title to the properties in 1991 pursuant to a foreclosure but continued the
   action against the guarantors.  In October 1995, the Partnership received
   $600,000 from the guarantors in settlement of the lawsuit.
<PAGE>
   Because of the weak real estate markets in certain cities and regions of
   the country, attributable to local and regional market conditions such as
   overbuilding and recessions in local economies and specific industry
   segments, certain borrowers have requested that the Partnership allow
   prepayment of mortgage loans. The Partnership has allowed some of these
   borrowers to prepay such loans, in some cases without assessing prepayment
   penalties, under circumstances where the General Partner believed that
   refusing to allow such prepayment would ultimately prove detrimental to the
   Partnership because of the likelihood that the properties would not
   generate sufficient revenues to keep loan payments current.

   Distributions to Limited Partners can be expected to fluctuate for various
   reasons. Generally, distributions are made from Cash Flow generated by
   interest and other payments made by borrowers under the Partnership's
   mortgage loans and Cash Flow from property operations. Loan prepayments and
   repayments can initially cause Cash Flow to increase as prepayment premiums
   and participations are paid; however, thereafter prepayments and repayments
   will have the effect of reducing Cash Flow. When such proceeds and property
   sale proceeds are distributed, Limited Partners will receive a return of
   capital and the dollar amount of Cash Flow available for distribution
   thereafter can be expected to decrease. Distribution levels can also vary
   as loans are placed on nonaccrual status, modified or restructured.

   In October 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $358,375 ($5.00 per
   Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests and $18,862 to
   the General Partner representing the quarterly distribution for the third
   quarter of 1995.  The level of the regular quarterly distribution was
   consistent with the amount distributed for the first and second quarters of
   1995. To date, Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of
   $1,708.81 per $1,000 Interest, of which $1,161.41 represents Cash Flow from
   operations and $547.40 represents a return of original capital.

   The Partnership expects to continue making cash distributions from the Cash
   Flow generated by the receipt of mortgage payments and property operations
   less payments on the underlying loans and mortgage loans, fees to the
   General Partner and administrative expenses. The General Partner believes
   it has retained, on behalf of the Partnership, an appropriate amount of
   working capital to meet cash or liquidity requirements which may occur.  It
   is expected that the Partnership will complete the disposition of its
   remaining assets and be terminated by the end of 1996.

   Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real
   estate investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating
   costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or
   sales prices, depending on general or local economic conditions. In the
   long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and
   replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate
   values.
