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 nine months and quarter
ended September 30, 2000, and all such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.
2. Partnership Termination:
As previously reported, class action litigation involving the Partnership was
originally filed in February 1996. This litigation has existed over the past
four and 1/2 years in three separate but related cases and continues to exist
today. Since inception of this litigation, the general partner has stated that
the Partnership would not be dissolved until the conclusion of this litigation
and that the general partner has a contingent right to seek recovery from the
Partnership of the legal fees it expends in defending against this litigation.
The general partner believed that this litigation would have been completed and
resolved before now. Despite the fact that the general partner has prevailed
twice on motions to dismiss the litigation for failure to state a cause of
action, the plaintiffs have continued to re-file the litigation and assert
claims and, in so doing, have protracted the litigation. There is presently
pending the general partner's and remaining defendants' third motion to dismiss
the litigation for failure to state a cause of action, on which the court heard
argument in April 2000. Defendants believe this motion to be meritorious. Given
the actions of plaintiffs' counsel to date, at this point in time the general
partner does not believe that the litigation will be concluded in the near
future. As a result, the general partner has decided that it will dissolve the
Partnership in December 2000 and distribute all remaining cash reserves to the
limited partners.
The Partnership has accrued on its financial statements the legal fees expended
to date by the general partner in defending against this litigation. The
general partner would be entitled to place such amounts, along with an amount
representing anticipated future legal fees, in a trust account to be held until
the conclusion of this litigation. Because the general partner believes such an
action would not be in the best interests of the limited partners, it has
decided not to do so and will distribute to limited partners such amounts
accrued for legal fees. The general partner does not in any way waive its claim
for indemnification under the partnership agreement; however, the general
partner will not seek to recover from the limited partners any amounts
distributed to them in attempting to satisfy the general partner's
indemnification rights.
3. Transactions with Affiliates:

nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2000 are:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Balcor Realty Investors-83 (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed
in 1981 to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The
Partnership raised $75,005,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests and
utilized these proceeds to acquire eleven real property investments and a
minority joint venture interest in one additional real property. The
Partnership sold its final real estate investment in August 1997.
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 1999 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.
Operations
----------
2000 Compared to 1999
---------------------
The operations of the Partnership in 2000 and 1999 consisted of administrative
expenses which were partially offset by interest income earned on short-term
investments.
As a result of higher interest rates in 2000, interest income on short-term
investments increased during the nine months and quarter ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999.
Primarily as a result of lower accounting and accrued legal fees,
administrative expenses decreased during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999. This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in printing costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $57,000 as of
September 30, 2000 as compared to December 31, 1999 due to cash used in
operating activities for the payment of administrative expenses, which was
partially offset by interest income earned on short-term investments.
As previously reported, class action litigation involving the Partnership was
originally filed in February 1996. This litigation has existed over the past
four and 1/2 years in three separate but related cases and continues to exist
today. Since inception of this litigation, the general partner has stated that
the Partnership would not be dissolved until the conclusion of this litigation
and that the general partner has a contingent right to seek recovery from the
Partnership of the legal fees it expends in defending against this litigation.
The general partner believed that this litigation would have been completed and
resolved before now. Despite the fact that the general partner has prevailed
twice on motions to dismiss the litigation for failure to state a cause of
action, the plaintiffs have continued to re-file the litigation and assert
claims and, in so doing, have protracted the litigation. There is presently
pending the general partner's and remaining defendants' third motion to dismiss
the litigation for failure to state a cause of action, on which the court heard
argument in April 2000. Defendants believe this motion to be meritorious. Given
the actions of plaintiffs' counsel to date, at this point in time the general
partner does not believe that the litigation will be concluded in the near
future. As a result, the general partner has decided that it will dissolve the
Partnership in December 2000 and distribute all remaining cash reserves to the
limited partners.
The Partnership has accrued on its financial statements the legal fees expended
to date by the general partner in defending against this litigation. The
general partner would be entitled to place such amounts, along with an amount
representing anticipated future legal fees, in a trust account to be held until
the conclusion of this litigation. Because the general partner believes such an
action would not be in the best interests of the limited partners, it has
decided not to do so and will distribute to limited partners such amounts
accrued for legal fees. The general partner does not in any way waive its claim
for indemnification under the partnership agreement; however, the general
partner will not seek to recover from the limited partners any amounts
distributed to them in attempting to satisfy the general partner's
indemnification rights.
Limited Partners have received distributions totaling $649.97 per $1,000
Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. Of this amount, $105.50 represents
Net Cash Receipts and $544.47 represents Net Cash Proceeds. 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. Limited Partners will not recover all of
their original investment.
