                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policy: 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying statements for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

2. Partnership Termination:

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. The Partnership sold its final real estate investment in December
1996. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property
sales to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve
for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final
distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and
contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal
and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership.
There can be no assurances as to the time frame for the conclusion of
contingencies which exist or may arise. 

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses, paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 were:
                                               
                                         Paid         Payable
                                      ------------    ---------
   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost       $9,328         $34,818        

4. Contingency:

The Partnership was involved in a lawsuit, Dee vs. Walton Street Capital
Acquisition II, LLC, whereby the Partnership, the General Partner and certain
third parties were named as defendants seeking damages relating to tender
offers to purchase interests in the Partnership and nine affiliated
partnerships initiated by the third party defendants in 1996.  The action has
been dismissed with prejudice, which dismissal was affirmed by the  Appellate
Court of Illinois. Plaintiffs filed a further appeal to the Illinois Supreme
Court. The Illinois Supreme Court has issued a ruling in which it has declined
to hear the appeal. As a result, the Appellate Court of Illinois dismissed the
case on April 22, 1999.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Pension Investors-II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed
in 1981 to invest in wrap-around mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, in
other junior mortgage loans and first mortgage loans. The Partnership raised
$85,010,000 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and used these
proceeds to originally fund thirty-three loans. Proceeds from the loan
repayments were used to fund three additional mortgage loans.  As of March 31,
1999, the Partnership has no loans outstanding or properties remaining 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 1998 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

Operations
- ----------

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

The operations of the Partnership in 1999 and 1998 consisted of interest income
earned on short-term investments which was partially offset by administrative
expenses. As a result of lower administrative expenses in 1999, the
Partnership's net income increased slightly in 1999 as compared to 1998. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest income earned on
short-term investments. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below. 

1999 Compared to 1998
- ---------------------

Discussions of fluctuations between 1999 and 1998 refer to the quarters ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998. 

Due to lower interest rates and lower average cash balances primarily due to a
distribution to Limited Partners in January 1998, interest income on short-term
investments decreased during 1999 as compared to 1998.

Primarily due to lower accounting and investor processing fees, administrative
expenses decreased during 1999 as compared to 1998. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $24,000 as of
March 31, 1999 as compared to December 31, 1998. The Partnership generated cash
flow from its operating activities of approximately $23,000 from interest 
<PAGE>
income earned on short-term investments net of the payment of administrative
expenses. Cash used in financing activities represents an increase in cash and
cash equivalents in the Early Investment Incentive Fund of approximately
$47,000 from interest income earned on the Fund.
 
The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. The Partnership sold its final real estate investment in December
1996. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property
sales to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve
for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final
distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and
contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal
and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership.
There can be no assurances as to the time frame for the conclusion of
contingencies which exist or may arise. See "Item 1. Legal Proceedings" for
additional information.

In 1997, the Partnership discontinued the repurchase of Interests from Limited
Partners. As of March 31, 1999, there were 8,136 Interests and cash of
$3,980,193 held in the Early Investment Incentive Fund.

Limited Partners have received distributions totaling $1,750.21 per $1,000
Interest. Of this amount, $1,101.08 represents Cash Flow from operations and
$649.13 represents a return of Original Capital. No additional distributions
are anticipated to be made prior to the termination of the Partnership.
However, after paying final partnership expenses, any remaining cash reserves
will be distributed. Amounts allocated to the Early Investment Incentive Fund
will also be distributed at that time.

The Partnership sold all of its remaining real property investments and
distributed a majority of the proceeds from these sales to Limited Partners in
1996 and 1997. Since the Partnership no longer has any operating assets, the
number of computer systems and programs necessary to operate the Partnership
has been significantly reduced. The Partnership relies on third party vendors
to perform most of its functions and has implemented a plan to determine the
Year 2000 compliance status of these key vendors. The Partnership is within its
timeline for having these plans completed prior to the year 2000.

The Partnership's plan to determine the Year 2000 compliance status of its key
vendors involves the solicitation of information from these vendors through the
use of surveys, follow-up discussions and review of data where needed. The
Partnership has sent out surveys to these vendors and received back a majority
of these surveys. While the Partnership cannot guarantee Year 2000 compliance
by its key vendors, and in many cases will be relying on statements from these
vendors without independent verification, preliminary surveys indicate that the
key vendors performing services for the Partnership are aware of the issues and
are working on a solution to achieve compliance before the year 2000. The
Partnership is in the process of developing a contingency plan in the event any
of its key vendors are not Year 2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. As part
of its contingency plan, the Partnership will identify replacement vendors in 
<PAGE>
the event that current vendors are not substantially Year 2000 compliant by
June 30, 1999. The Partnership does not believe that failure by any of its key
vendors to be Year 2000 compliant by the year 2000 would have a material effect
on the business, financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership.
