                         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 six  months
and quarter ended June 30, 1995, and  all such adjustments are of a normal  and
recurring nature.

2. Interest Expense:

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership did not incur or pay
interest  expense  on  mortgage  notes  payable  on  properties  owned  by  the
Partnership. During  the  six  months  ended June  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
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 are:

4. Subsequent Event:

In July 1995,  the Partnership paid  a distribution of  $1,713,033 ($23.90  per
Interest) to the holders of  Limited Partnership Interests.  This  distribution
includes a regular quarterly distribution of $5.00 per Interest from Cash Flow,
and special distributions  of $12.40 per  Interest from Mortgage  Reductions   
related to the Emerald Ridge Apartments  sale and $6.50 per Interest from  Cash
Flow reserves.

                   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
- ----------

Net income decreased during the six months and quarter ended June 30,  1995
as compared to  the same periods  in 1994  primarily due to  a decrease  in
income from operations  of real  estate held  for sale  resulting from  the
April 1994 sale  of Emerald Ridge  Apartments, and legal  fees relating  to
litigation for the Normandy Mall.  Further discussion of the  Partnership's
operations is summarized below.

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

Net interest income  on loans  receivable decreased during  the six  months
ended June 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 non-accrual status.  For non-accrual  loans, income is recorded only  as
cash payments are received from borrowers. Due to the timing of  collection
of these  payments,  however,  net  interest  income  on  loans  receivable
increased during the quarter  ended June 30, 1995  as compared to the  same
period in 1994.  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.  Income from operations of real estate held for sale decreased
during the six months and  quarter ended June 30,  1995 as compared to  the
same periods in 1994 due to sale of Emerald Ridge Apartments in April 1994,
and the receipt in  1994 of prior  years' real estate  tax and common  area
maintenance reimbursements  from certain  tenants at  the Huntington  Plaza
Shopping Center.  Higher rental  income resulting from increased  occupancy
at the Nob Hill Apartments - Phase I partially offset the decrease.

Primarily as  a  result  of  higher  interest  rates,  interest  income  on
short-term investments increased  during the six  months and quarter  ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.
<PAGE>
As a result of  the special distribution  of Cash Flow  made in July  1995,
General Partner management fees increased during the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.

As a result of  higher legal fees relating  to litigation for the  Normandy
Mall, administrative expense  increased during the  six months and  quarter
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.  

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 or 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 no  provision for  potential losses  during the  six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. 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 June 30, 1995.

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

The cash position  of the Partnership  decreased as of  June 30, 1995  when
compared to December 31, 1994. Operating activities included cash flow from
the operations  of the  Partnership's real  estate held  for sale  and  net
interest income earned on its loans receivable and short-term  investments,
which were  partially offset  by the  payment of  administrative  expenses.
Financing  activities   included   the   payment   of   regular   quarterly
distributions to  the Limited  Partners and  the General  Partner, and  the
payment of principal on the underlying loan.

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 six  months
ended June  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. The General Partner is continuing its efforts to maintain  high
occupancy levels, while increasing rents where possible, and to monitor and
control operating  expenses and  capital  improvement requirements  at  the
properties. As of June 30,  1995, occupancy rates were  96% and 82% at  the
Nob Hill Apartments - Phase I and Huntington Plaza, respectively.

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. The Partnership continues to
negotiate for a resolution of the outstanding matters, which may include  a
sale of the loan to a third party.

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
<PAGE>
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 non-accrual status, modified or restructured.

In July 1995, the Partnership paid a distribution of $1,713,033 ($23.90 per
Interest)  to  the  holders  of   Limited  Partnership  Interests.     This
distribution  includes  a  regular  quarterly  distribution  of  $5.00  per
Interest from Cash Flow  and special distributions  of $12.40 per  Interest
from Mortgage Reductions related to  the Emerald Ridge Apartments sale  and
$6.50 per Interest from Cash Flow reserves. In addition, during July  1995,
the Partnership paid  $8,676 to the  General Partner as  its share of  Cash
Flow distributed for the second quarter  of 1995. The level of the  regular
quarterly distribution was consistent with  the amount distributed for  the
first quarter of 1995. To  date, Limited Partners have received  cumulative
distributions  of  $1,703.81  per  $1,000  Interest,  of  which   $1,156.41
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 anticipated  that the  Partnership will  be terminated  within the  next
twelve to eighteen months.

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.
