                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policies:

(a) The loss allocation between the Limited Partners and the General Partner
has been adjusted for financial statement purposes during 1998 in order that
the capital account balances more accurately reflect their remaining economic
interests as provided for in the Partnership Agreement.

(b) 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, 1998, 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 all of its remaining properties in 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 the 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,
including but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 4 of Notes to the
Financial Statements. Due to this litigation, the Partnership will not be
dissolved and the reserves will be held by the Partnership until the conclusion
of all contingencies.  There can be no assurances as to the time frame for
conclusion of these contingencies.

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 were:

                                          Paid      Payable
                                       ----------  ---------

   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost      $ 4,003     $ 27,462

4. Contingencies: 

The Partnership is currently involved in two lawsuits whereby the Partnership
and certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging substantially
similar claims involving certain state securities and common law violations
with regard to the property acquisition process of the Partnership, and to the
adequacy and accuracy of disclosures of information concerning, as well as 
<PAGE>
marketing efforts related to, the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests
of the Partnership. The defendants continue to vigorously contest these
actions. A plaintiff class has not been certified in either action and, no
determinations of the merits have been made. It is not determinable at this
time whether or not an unfavorable decision in either action would have a
material adverse impact on the financial position, operations and liquidity of
the Partnership. The Partnership believes it has meritorious defenses to
contest the claims.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Equity Properties-XII (the "Partnership") was formed in 1981 to invest
in and operate income-producing real property. The Partnership raised
$37,447,000 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized
these proceeds to acquire seven real property investments and a minority joint
venture interest in one additional real property. As of March 31, 1998, the
Partnership has no 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 1997 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

The Partnership recognized a net loss during the quarter ended March 31, 1998
as compared to income during the same period in 1997 primarily due to a large
decrease in interest income earned on short-term investments during 1998 and
the payment of operating expenditures and real estate tax expense related to
properties sold during 1997.  Further discussion of the Partnership's
operations is summarized below.

1998 Compared to 1997
- ---------------------

Discussion of fluctuations between 1998 and 1997 refer to the quarters ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997.

During 1997, the Partnership paid additional expenditures related to certain of
the properties sold during 1996. As a result, the Partnership recognized
property operating expense during 1997.

During 1997, the Partnership paid additional real estate taxes as a result of
an increase in the assessed value of the DeFoors Creek Apartments, which was
sold in 1996. As a result, the Partnership recognized real estate tax expense
during 1997.

Administrative expenses decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997 primarily due
to a decrease in accounting fees which was partially offset by higher legal
fees in 1998.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $309,500 as of 
<PAGE>
March 31, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997 primarily due to a distribution
to the Limited Partners from remaining available Net Cash Proceeds. Cash of
approximately $400 was provided by operating activities consisting of interest
income on short-term investments which was substantially offset by the payment
of administrative expenses. Cash used in financing activities consisted of the
payment of a distribution to the Limited Partners of approximately $309,900.

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 all of its remaining properties in 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 include legal and
other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 4 of Notes to
Financial Statements. Due to this litigation, the Partnership will not be
dissolved and the reserves will be held by the Partnership until the conclusion
of all contingencies.  There can be no assurances as to the time frame for
conclusion of these contingencies.

To date, Limited Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of
$70 and Net Cash Proceeds of $566.63, totaling $636.63 per $1,000 Interest, as
well as certain tax benefits. No 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. Limited Partners
will not recover all of their original investment.
