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:

5.  Sale of Real Estate: 

In January and August 1995, the Partnership sold the Crossings Shopping  Center
and the Candlewyck  Apartments in separate  all cash sales  for $2,650,000  and
$10,000,000, respectively. The purchaser of the Crossings Shopping Center  took
title to the property subject to the  existing first mortgage loan which had  a
balance of  $1,793,760.    From  the  proceeds  of  the  Candlewyck  sale,  the
Partnership repaid the  outstanding amounts  due under the  first, second,  and
third mortgage loans, which totaled $3,545,699.  The carrying value of the real
estate  sold  totaled  $9,647,560.    For  financial  statement  purposes,  the
Partnership recognized a gain  of $2,540,646 from sales  of real estate  during
1995.

6. Subsequent Event:

In  October  1995,  the  Partnership  paid  $15,003,737  to  Limited   Partners
representing the  regular  quarterly distribution  of  available Cash  Flow  of
$11.00 per  Interest for  the third  quarter of  1995 and  $52.18 per  Interest
representing Mortgage Reductions  received from the  Colony loan repayment  and

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Pension  Investors-III  (the  "Partnership") is  a  limited  partnership
formed in 1982 to invest in wrap-around mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent,
other junior mortgage loans  and first mortgage  loans. The Partnership  raised
$118,738,000 through the  sale of  Limited Partnership  Interests and  utilized
these proceeds to fund thirty-two loans. In addition, proceeds from prior  loan
repayments were used to fund five  additional loans. As of September 30,  1995,
six loans remain outstanding in  the Partnership's portfolio. In addition,  the
Partnership was operating two properties held for sale and holds minority joint
venture interests in two properties.

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
- ---------------------

During  1995  and  1994  the  Partnership  sold  two  properties  and  received
repayments on three loans.  The Partnership also acquired The Woods  Apartments
through foreclosure  in  July 1994.    The  combined effect  of  these  events,
especially the recognition of gains on the sales of the properties, resulted in
an increase in net income for the  nine months and quarter ended September  30,
1995 when compared to 1994.  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 both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

The repayment  of  the  Colony loan  in  August  1995, the  prepayment  of  the
Continental Park and North Morris  Estates loans in June  and November 1994,   
respectively, and the foreclosure of The Woods Apartments in July 1994 resulted
in a  decrease  in net  interest  income on  loans  receivable during  1995  as
compared to 1994. 

The Partnership  has two  nonaccrual  loans at  September  30, 1995  which  are
collateralized by  Carmel on  Providence Apartments  and Bannockburn  Executive
Plaza. The  funds  advanced  by  the Partnership  for  these  two  loans  total
approximately $6,200,000. For nonaccrual loans, income is recorded only as cash
payments are received from the borrower. During 1995, the Partnership  received
cash payments of  net interest  income totaling approximately  $258,000 on  the
Carmel on Providence loan.   The Partnership would have received  approximately
$221,000 of net interest income under the terms of the original loan agreement.
In addition, $416,000  was received  on the Bannockburn  Executive Plaza  loan.
<PAGE>
This loan originally matured in January  1994 and was subsequently extended  to
December 1997. 

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  on its  loans and  real estate  held for  sale
during the nine months ended September 30, 1994; however, no such provision was
recognized during  1995.   During  the third  quarter  of 1995,  allowances  of
$1,070,329 related to the Colony loan  were written-off in connection with  the
repayment of the loan.

Operations of real estate held for  sale represent the net operations of  those
properties acquired by  the Partnership through  foreclosure. At September  30,
1995, the  Partnership was  operating  The Woods  Apartments and  the  Orchards
Shopping Center. Original funds advanced by the Partnership total approximately
$6,678,000 for  these real  estate investments.  The Partnership  acquired  The
Woods Apartments in July 1994, and this property generated income during  1995.
In addition, operations improved  at the Orchards  Shopping Center during  1995
due to increased occupancy levels and decreased interest expense resulting from
the paydown of  the first  mortgage loan  in connection  with the  sale of  the
Orchards Office  Building in  September 1994.   The  combined effect  of  these
events resulted in an increase in income from real estate held for sale  during
1995 as compared to 1994.  The August 1995 sale of Candlewyck Apartments, which
was generating income, partially offset the above increase.

Participation in  income  of  joint ventures  with  affiliates  represents  the
Partnership's 27.5% and 12.68% shares  of income from the  Brookhollow/Stemmons
and Perimeter 400 Center office buildings, respectively.  Increased real estate
tax, common  area  maintenance  and  tenant  construction  reimbursements  from
tenants at the Brookhollow/Stemmons Office Building resulted in an increase  in
income for the nine  months ended September  30, 1995 as  compared to the  same
period in  1994.   Leasing and  tenant improvement  costs incurred  in 1995  at
Perimeter 400 Center Office Building resulted  in a decrease in income for  the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

Proceeds received in  connection with  the 1995  and 1994  loan repayments  and
property sales  were invested  when received  and resulted  in an  increase  in
interest income  on short-term  investments during  1995 as  compared to  1994.
Higher interest rates earned on short-term investments also contributed to  the
increase. Portions of these  proceeds were distributed  to Limited Partners  in
April, July, and October of 1995.

Decreases in legal expenses and mortgage servicing fees resulted in a  decrease
in administrative expenses during 1995 as compared to 1994.

During the nine  months ended  September 30, 1995,  the Partnership  recognized
gains of $717,900 and $1,822,746 in connection with the sales of the  Crossings
Shopping Center and  the Candlewyck Apartments,  respectively.  See  Note 6  of
Notes to  Financial Statements  for additional  information.   During the  nine
months ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership recognized a gain of  $119,842
on the sale of the Orchards Office Building.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of  the Partnership increased as  of September 30, 1995  when
compared to December 31, 1994 due to the loan repayment and two property  sales
during 1995.   Special distributions to the Limited Partners were made in April
and July 1995.  An additional special distribution was made in October 1995  as
further described  below.   The  Partnership  has retained  cash  reserves  for
anticipated capital requirements at the Partnership's properties.

The Partnership  classifies the  cash  flow performance  of its  properties  as
either positive,  a  marginal deficit  or  a significant  deficit,  each  after
consideration of  debt  service  payments  unless  otherwise  indicated.    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 Orchards  Shopping  Center and  The Woods  Apartments  generated
positive cash flow. The  Crossings Shopping Center, which  was sold in  January
1995, generated positive cash flow during 1994  and prior to its sale in  1995.
However, the  Candlewyck Apartments  which was  sold in  August 1995  generated
positive cash flow in 1994  and a marginal deficit prior  to its sale in  1995.
The Brookhollow/Stemmons and Perimeter 400 Center office complexes,  properties
in which  the Partnership  holds minority  joint venture  interests,  generated
positive cash flow during  the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 and  1994.
Significant leasing  costs were  incurred  at the  Brookhollow/Stemmons  Office
Building during 1994  to lease vacant  space and renew  existing tenant  leases
which were scheduled to expire.   These costs were not included in  classifying
the  cash  flow  performance  of  the  property  since  they  are  nonrecurring
expenditures. Had these costs been  included, the Brookhollow/ Stemmons  Office
Building would have operated  at a marginal deficit  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1994. 

As of September 30, 1995 The Woods Apartments and the Orchards Shopping  Center
have occupancy rates of 97% and 82%, 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 General Partner will also examine the terms of any mortgage
loans collateralized  by  its properties,  and  may refinance  or,  in  certain
instances, use Partnership reserves to repay such loans.

Certain borrowers have failed to make payments when due to the Partnership  for
more than  ninety  days and,  accordingly,  these  loans have  been  placed  on
non-accrual status (income is recorded only as cash payments are received). The
General  Partner  has  negotiated  with  some  of  these  borrowers   regarding
modifications of  the loan  terms and  has instituted  foreclosure  proceedings
under certain circumstances.  Such foreclosure  proceedings may  be delayed  by
factors beyond  the General  Partner's control  such as  bankruptcy filings  by
borrowers and  state law  procedures regarding  foreclosures. Further,  certain
loans made by  the Partnership have  been restructured to  defer and/or  reduce
interest  payments  where  the   properties  collateralizing  the  loans   were
generating insufficient  cash  flow to  support  property operations  and  debt
service.

Because of the current 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,
<PAGE>
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  premiums,  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. In other  cases, borrowers have requested prepayment  in
order to take advantage of lower available interest rates. In these cases,  the
Partnership has collected substantial prepayment premiums.

During February  1995, a  plan  of reorganization  related to  the  Bannockburn
Executive Plaza  loan was  confirmed by  the Bankruptcy  Court effective  March
1995. Pursuant to  the plan,  the maturity  date of  the loan  was extended  to
December 1, 1997 and the loan will continue to bear interest at 14.5% per annum
with a pay rate of 9% per annum.  The maturity of the underlying loan was  also
extended to December  1, 1997, and  the borrower was  required to pay  $232,031
directly to the holder of the  underlying loan to reduce the principal  balance
of the loan.  In  addition, the borrower is required  to remit all excess  cash
flow from property operations on a monthly basis directly to the holder of  the
underlying loan to further  reduce the principal balance  of the loan.   Excess
cash flow of  $189,628 was  remitted during the  second and  third quarters  of
1995.

In January and August 1995, the Partnership sold the Crossings Shopping  Center
and the Candlewyck Apartments in all cash sales for $2,650,000 and $10,000,000,
respectively.  The purchaser of the Crossings Shopping Center took title to the
property subject to  the existing  $1,793,760 first  mortgage loan.   From  the
proceeds of the Candlewyck sale, the Partnership repaid the outstanding amounts
due  under  the  first,  second,  and  third  mortgage  loans,  which   totaled
$3,545,699.   See  Note 5  of  Notes  to Financial  Statements  for  additional
information.

In August 1995, the borrower  of the $16,750,000 Colony Apartments  wrap-around
loan repaid  the loan.    The Partnership  received proceeds  of  approximately
$8,301,516 which is comprised  of the funds advanced  on the loan  ($6,501,516)
and the amount representing  the difference between the  funds advanced by  the
Partnership and the  outstanding principal  balance on the  underlying loan  in
accordance with the original loan terms.  In addition, the borrower repaid  the
underlying mortgage note payable which had a balance of $7,378,155.  Allowances
in the amount of $1,070,329 were  written off in connection with the  repayment
of the loan.

In October 1995, the Rivergate Apartments loan matured.  The borrower is in the
process of obtaining new  financing and the  loan is expected  to be repaid  by
year-end 1995.

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.
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. If  such
proceeds are  distributed, Limited  Partners  will have  received 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 and, if  the
<PAGE>
Partnership has taken title to properties through foreclosure or otherwise,  as
a result of property operations.

In  October  1995,  the  Partnership  paid  $15,003,737  to  Limited   Partners
representing the quarterly distribution for the third quarter of 1995 of $11.00
of Cash Flow  per Interest and  a special distribution  of $52.18 per  Interest
representing mortgage reductions  received from the  Colony loan repayment  and
the sale of the Candlewyck Apartments.   The Partnership also paid $217,686  to
the General Partner as its distributive share of the Cash Flow distributed  for
the third  quarter  of  1995 and  $72,562  as  its contribution  to  the  Early
Investment Incentive Fund. To date, the Partnership has distributed $640.92 per
$500 Interest,  of  which $446.80  represents  Cash Flow  from  operations  and
$194.12 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 Cash Flow from  property
operations, less payments on the underlying loans and administrative  expenses.
The General Partner believes the Partnership has retained an appropriate amount
of working capital to meet cash or liquidity requirements which may occur.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the General Partner on  behalf
of the Partnership used amounts placed  in the Early Investment Incentive  Fund
to repurchase  2,482  Interests  from  Limited Partners  at  a  total  cost  of
$697,714.

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.
