Item 1.  Business
- -----------------

Balcor Pension Investors-IV (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed
in 1982 under the laws of the State of Illinois.  The Registrant raised
$214,803,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests.  The Registrant's
operations have consisted of servicing wrap-around mortgage loans and, to a
lesser extent, servicing other junior mortgage loans and first mortgage loans. 
The Registrant also currently operates seven properties acquired through
foreclosure and holds a minority joint venture interest in one additional
property.  All financial information included in this report relates to this
industry segment.

The Registrant originally funded thirty-eight loans. A portion of Mortgage
Reductions generated by repayments was reinvested in four additional loans and
a portion was used to make special distributions to Limited Partners. The
remainder was added to working capital reserves. As a result of the repayments,
foreclosures and write-offs of forty loans, the Registrant has two loans in its
portfolio as of December 31, 1994. Fourteen properties were acquired through
foreclosure and one loan was reclassified to an investment in joint venture
with affiliates. The Registrant has since disposed of seven of these properties
and has seven properties and an investment in joint venture with affiliates in
its portfolio as of December 31, 1994. See Item 2. Properties for additional
information.

During 1994, the Registrant acquired two properties through foreclosure on
loans. These loans were classified as real estate held for sale at December 31,
1993. See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

During February 1994, the Registrant sold the Republic Park Office Building.
See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.

During January 1994, the Registrant repaid the mortgage note payable on Pelican
Pointe Apartments. See Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional
information.

The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate acquired through
foreclosure, is subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering
various environmental issues. Management of the Registrant utilizes the
services of environmental consultants to assess a wide range of environmental
issues and to conduct tests for environmental contamination as appropriate. The
General Partner is not aware of any potential liability due to environmental
issues or conditions that would be material to the Registrant.

The officers and employees of Balcor Mortgage Advisors-III, the General Partner
of the Registrant, and its affiliates, perform services for the Registrant. The
Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Item 2.  Properties

As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant owns the seven properties described
below:

See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding real property

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

Williams class action
- ---------------------

In February 1990, a proposed class-action complaint was filed, Paul Williams
and Beverly Kennedy, et al. vs. Balcor Pension Investors, et al., Case No.: 90-
C-0726 (U. S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois) against the
Registrant, the General Partner, The Balcor Company, Shearson Lehman Hutton,
Inc., American Express Company, other affiliates, and seven affiliated limited
partnerships (the "Related Partnerships") as defendants.  The complaint alleges
that the defendants violated Federal securities laws as to the adequacy and
accuracy of disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership
interests of the Registrant and the Related Partnerships and alleges breach of
fiduciary duty, fraud, negligence and violations under the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations Act.  The complaint seeks compensatory and punitive
damages. The defendants filed their answer, affirmative defenses and a
counterclaim to the complaint.  The defendants' counterclaim asserts claims of
fraud and breach of warranty against certain plaintiffs, as well as a request
for declaratory relief regarding the defendants' rights to be indemnified for
their expenses incurred in defending the litigation.  The defendants seek to
recover damages to their reputations and business as well as costs and
attorneys' fees in defending the claims.

In May 1993, the Court issued an order denying the plaintiffs' motion for class
certification based principally on the inadequacy of the individual plaintiffs
representing the proposed class.  However, the Court gave plaintiffs leave to
propose new individual class representatives.  Further, the Court granted the
defendants' motion for sanctions and ordered that plaintiffs' counsel pay
certain of the defendants' attorneys' fees incurred with the class
certification motion.  In January 1995, the Court ordered the plaintiffs'
counsel to pay $75,000 to the defendants and $25,000 to the Court.

The plaintiffs retained new co-counsel and proposed new class representatives. 
In July 1994, the Court granted plaintiffs' motion certifying a class relating
to the Federal securities fraud claims.  The class certified by the Court
includes only the original investors in the Registrant and the Related
Partnerships.  The defendants filed a motion for reconsideration in opposition
<PAGE>
to the class certification which was denied on December 21, 1994.  The Court
has ordered the parties to meet to discuss notice to the class and a schedule
for discovery.   

A motion filed by the plaintiffs seeking to dismiss the defendants'
counterclaim for fraud was denied by the Court in August 1994.  

The defendants intend to continue vigorously contesting this action. Management
of each of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest
the claims. 

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- ------------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Registrant
during 1994.

Results of Operations

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

Balcor Pension Investors - IV (the "Partnership") recognized a gain in 1994 on
the sale of the Republic Park Office Building which resulted in an increase in
net income during 1994 as compared to 1993. Participation income received in
connection with the 1993 repayment of the Lantana Cascades loan partially
offset this increase.

The Partnership recognized a provision for potential losses on loans and
accrued interest receivable during 1992 but did not do so during 1993. In
addition, during 1992, the Partnership recognized its share of the reduction in
the carrying value of the Perimeter 400 Center Office Building (in which it has
a minority joint venture interest).  The combined effect of these events was
the primary cause for the recognition of net income during 1993 as compared to
<PAGE>
a net loss for 1992. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

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

1994 Compared to 1993
- ---------------------

The foreclosures of the North Kent Mall and the Glendale Fashion Center in
January and March 1994, respectively, and the repayment of the Lantana Cascades
Mobile Home Park loan in October 1993 were the primary reasons for the decrease
in net interest income on loans receivable and mortgage servicing fees during
1994 as compared to 1993. Amounts received from the discounted repayment of a
residual note related to the Independence Green loan prepayment and from the
release of the Partnership's interest in the three remaining Oppenheimer hotels
were recognized as interest income during 1994 and partially offset the above
decrease.

The Partnership has one loan on non-accrual status at December 31, 1994, which
is collateralized by the Stonehaven South Apartments. The funds advanced by the
Partnership for this non-accrual loan are approximately $2,800,000. For
non-accrual loans, income is recorded only as cash payments are received from
the borrowers. During 1994, the Partnership received cash payments of interest
income of approximately $115,000 on this loan. Under the terms of the original
loan agreement, the Partnership would have received approximately $375,000 of
interest income.

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 did not
recognize a provision for potential losses on its loans and real estate held
for sale during 1994 and 1993.

Operations of real estate held for sale represent the net operations of those
properties acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure. At December 31,
1994, the Partnership was operating seven properties. Original funds advanced
by the Partnership totaled approximately $30,200,000 for these seven real
estate investments. The Partnership acquired the North Kent Mall in January
1994 and the Glendale Fashion Center in March 1994, which generated income.
Operations improved at the Palm View Apartments due to increased occupancy
resulting from the completion of exterior painting and other improvements at
the property during 1993. The Partnership completed a major repair program at
the Colony Apartments during 1993 which also resulted in improved occupancy and
overall operations for 1994. Rental income increased at the Pelican Pointe
Apartments due to increased rental rates. Interest expense decreased at the
Pelican Pointe and Del Lago apartment complexes due to the repayment of the
mortgage notes. The majority of the improvement in operations at the Pelican
Pointe Apartments, however, was offset by the completion of exterior painting
during the fourth quarter of 1994. Finally, the Shadows Apartments and the
Republic Park Office Building, which were generating income, and the 240 E.
Ontario Office Building, which operated at a loss, were sold in April 1993,
February 1994, and June 1993, respectively. The combined effect of these events
resulted in an increase in income from the operations of the Partnership's
properties during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Participation in income (loss) of joint venture with affiliates represents the
Partnership's 15.37% share of the operations of the Perimeter 400 Center Office
Building. The Partnership incurred significant leasing costs at the property
during 1993 which resulted in higher occupancy levels and improved operations
at the property during 1994. As a result, the Partnership recognized a
participation in income of joint venture with affiliates during 1994 as
<PAGE>
compared to a participation in loss during 1993.

The Partnership's loans generally bear interest at contractually-fixed interest
rates.  Some loans also provide for additional interest in the form of
participations, usually consisting of either a share in the capital
appreciation of the property collateralizing the Partnership's loan and/or a
share in the increase of the gross income of the property above a certain
level. Participation income was received during 1993 in connection with the
Lantana Cascades loan repayment. There was no participation income received in
1994.

As a result of higher average cash balances available for investment and higher
interest rates earned on short-term investments, interest income on short-term
investments increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Decreased legal fees incurred in connection with the loans on non-accrual
status and lower data processing costs caused administrative expenses to
decrease during 1994 as compared to 1993. This decrease was partially offset by
an increase in accounting and portfolio management fees during 1994 as compared
to 1993.

During 1994, the Partnership recognized a gain of $1,170,546 on the sale of the
Republic Park Office Building. During 1993, the Partnership recognized a net
gain of $124,039 on the sales of the Shadows Apartments, the 240 E. Ontario
Office Building and the land related to the University Office Building.

1993 Compared to 1992
- ---------------------

The prepayment of The Bluffs loan in May 1992 and the repayment of the Lantana
Cascades loan in October 1993 were the primary reasons for the decrease in net
interest income on loans receivable and mortgage servicing fees during 1993 as
compared to 1992.  Interest income received during 1993 from the borrower of
the Glendale Fashion Center due to a ruling by the Bankruptcy Court and
interest income on the residual notes received as part of The Bluffs and
Independence Green prepayments partially offset the decrease.

The Partnership had one non-accrual loan at December 31, 1993 which was
collateralized by the Stonehaven South Apartments.  The funds advanced by the
Partnership for this non-accrual loan totaled approximately $2,800,000. During
1993, the Partnership received cash payments of net interest income totaling
approximately $131,000 on this loan.  Under the terms of the original loan
agreement, the Partnership would have received approximately $375,000 of net
interest income.

Operations of real estate held for sale represent the net operations of those
properties acquired by the Partnership through foreclosure.  At December 31,
1993, the Partnership was operating six properties. Original funds advanced by
the Partnership totaled approximately $28,600,000 for these six real estate
investments.  Rental income increased and repair and maintenance expense
decreased at the Pelican Pointe Apartments due to increased occupancy resulting
from the completion of lease-up and stabilization programs during 1992.  Rental
income also increased at the Republic Park Office Building due to increased
occupancy.  Service income increased at the Palm View Apartments due to a
refund from a utility company for services that had been overcharged in prior
years.  In addition, due to the requirements of the refinancing agreement, the
Partnership began a major repair program during the second quarter of 1993 at
the Colony Apartments which caused the property to generate a loss in 1993. 
Finally, Haystack and Shadows apartment complexes, which were generating
income, were sold in August 1992 and April 1993, respectively, and the 240 E.
Ontario Office Building, acquired by the Partnership in April 1992 and sold in
June 1993, continued to operate at a loss during 1993.  The combined effect of
these events resulted in the recognition of income from the operations of the
Partnership's properties during 1993 as compared to a loss during 1992.

Participation in loss of joint venture with affiliates represents the
<PAGE>
Partnership's 15.37% share of the operations of the Perimeter 400 Center Office
Building.  During 1992, the Partnership also recognized a loss of $1,173,961 as
its share of a reduction in the carrying value of this property.  As a result,
participation in loss of joint venture with affiliates decreased during 1993 as
compared to 1992.

Lower interest rates earned on short-term investments caused a decrease in
interest income on short-term investments during 1993 as compared to 1992.

Participation income increased during 1993 as compared to 1992 primarily due to
significant participations totaling $849,169 received in connection with the
Lantana Cascades loan repayment in October 1993.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of December 31, 1994 when
compared to December 31, 1993. The Partnership received cash flow from its
operating activities. The operating cash flow generated from interest income
earned on its investment in loans receivable and short-term interest bearing
instruments and cash flow generated by the Partnership's properties held for
sale offset the payment of administrative expenses. The Partnership received
funds from investing activities relating primarily to the sale of the Republic
Park Office Building in February 1994. This receipt of cash was partially
offset by the payment of costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure of
the North Kent Mall. The Partnership used cash to fund its financing activities
which consisted primarily of the payment of distributions to the Limited
Partners and General Partner, the repayment of the Pelican Pointe mortgage note
payable and the payment of principal on the mortgage notes payable. This use of
cash was partially offset by a release of funds from the capital improvement
escrow on the Colony Apartments.

During 1994, all seven properties held for sale by the Partnership generated
positive cash flow. 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. A
deficit is considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20%
of the property's rental and service income. 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. The Del Lago, Pelican Pointe and Regency Club apartment complexes do
not have underlying debt. As of December 31, 1994, the occupancy rates of the
Partnership's residential properties ranged from 94% to 97% except for the Del
Lago and Regency Club apartment complexes which had occupancy rates of 87% and
88%, respectively. The Partnership acquired North Kent Mall through foreclosure
in January 1994. The Partnership is evaluating alternative strategies to
upgrade and reposition the property in its market. The current occupancy of the
Mall is 65%. In addition, the Partnership acquired Glendale Fashion Center
through foreclosure in March 1994. The Partnership is currently in the process
of signing letters of intent for new tenants at the Center in an effort to
prepare the property for redevelopment. The current occupancy is 25%. The
Partnership continues to evaluate its options with respect to the redevelopment
process for the Center which includes the potential of marketing the property
for sale.

During 1993, the Pelican Pointe and Regency Club apartment complexes generated
positive cash flow and the Del Lago and Palm View apartment complexes generated
marginal cash flow deficits. The Colony Apartments generated a significant cash
flow deficit. The Colony Apartments improved from a significant deficit to
positive cash flow during 1994 due to the completion during 1993 of a repair
program required under the terms of the refinancing agreement. The Del Lago
Apartments improved from a marginal deficit to positive cash flow during 1994
due to the repayment of its mortgage note payable in December 1993. Finally,
the improvement in cash flow during 1994 for the Palm View Apartments was due
to the completion of exterior painting and other improvements during 1993 and a
resultant increase in average occupancy levels and rental rates. The General
<PAGE>
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. 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.

During 1994, the Partnership used a portion of its cash reserves to repay the
$2,838,473 Pelican Pointe first mortgage loan.

In November 1990, the borrower of the Independence Green loan repaid the loan
except for a portion of the interest which was payable pursuant to the terms of
a subsequent note executed by the borrower. During 1994, the Partnership
accepted $414,000 as a discounted repayment of the note, which has been
recognized as interest income. In accordance with its accounting policies, the
Partnership had not reflected this note in its financial statements.

During 1994, the Partnership released its mortgage interest in the three
remaining Oppenheimer hotel investments. The Partnership received $100,000 in
consideration for the release and this amount has been recognized as interest
income during 1994. The Partnership had previously written off its investment
in the Oppenheimer hotels.

During 1994, the Partnership acquired the North Kent Mall and Glendale Fashion
Center through foreclosure on the loans. See Note 7 of Notes to Financial
Statements for additional information.

During 1994, the Partnership sold the Republic Park Office Building in an all
cash sale for $3,250,000. See Note 10 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.

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
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. 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 Partnership has taken title to properties through foreclosure or
otherwise, as a result of property operations.

In January 1995, the Partnership paid $644,409 to the holders of Limited
Partnership Interests representing a regular quarterly distribution of
available Cash Flow of $1.50 per Interest for the fourth quarter of 1994.  The
Partnership made four distributions totaling $5.50 in Cash Flow and $8.55 of
Mortgage Reductions in 1994, $1.75 in Cash Flow and $15.00 of Mortgage
Reductions in 1993 and $8.25 in Cash Flow in 1992. See Statement of Partners'
Capital. The distributions of Mortgage Reductions in 1994 resulted from the
repayment of the Lantana Cascades loan, the sale of the land related to the
University Office Building and the sale of the Republic Park Office Building.
The distributions of Mortgage Reductions in 1993 resulted from the prepayment
of The Bluffs loan, the sale of the Haystack Apartments and the refinancing of
the Colony Apartments. The distributions made from Cash Flow increased between
1994 and 1993 and decreased between 1993 and 1992 due to the cash flow
requirements of the Partnership. To date, the Partnership has distributed
$552.60 per $500 Interest, of which $317.60 represents Cash Flow from
operations and $235.00 represents a return of Original Capital.

The Partnership expects to continue making quarterly cash distributions;
however, the level of such future distributions will be dependent upon the cash
flow generated by the receipt of mortgage payments and improved operations of
the Partnership's properties held for sale, less mortgage servicing fees and
administrative expenses.  The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership,
<PAGE>
has retained what it believes to be an appropriate amount of working capital to
meet current cash or liquidity requirements which may occur.

During 1994, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, used amounts
placed in the Early Investment Incentive Fund to repurchase 3,206 Interests
from Limited Partners at a total cost of $439,439.

The General Partner has recently completed the outsourcing of the financial
reporting and accounting services, transfer agent and investor records
services, and computer operations and systems development functions that
provided services to the Partnership. All of these functions are now being
provided by independent third parties.  Additionally, Allegiance Realty Group,
Inc., which has provided property management services to some of the
Partnership's properties, was sold to a third party. Each of these transactions
occurred after extensive due diligence and competitive bidding processes. The
General Partner does not believe that the cost of providing these services to
the Partnership, in the aggregate, will be materially different to the
Partnership during 1995 when compared to 1994.

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.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Partners of
Balcor Pension Investors-IV:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Balcor Pension Investors-IV
(An Illinois Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related statements of partners' capital, income and expenses and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Pension Investors-IV at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          BALCOR PENSION INVESTORS-IV
                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. Accounting Policies:
 
(a) Income on loans is recorded as earned in accordance with the terms of the
related loan agreements. The accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan
becomes ninety days contractually delinquent or sooner when, in the opinion of
the Partnership's management, an impairment has occurred in the value of the
collateral property securing the loan. Income on non-accrual loans or loans
which are otherwise not performing in accordance with their terms is recorded
on a cash basis.

Various loan agreements provided for participation by the Partnership in
increases in value of the collateral property when the loan was repaid or
refinanced. In addition, certain loan agreements allowed the Partnership to
receive a percentage of rental income exceeding a base amount. Participation
income is reflected in the accompanying Statements of Income and Expenses when
received.

Income from operations of real estate owned is reflected in the accompanying
Statements of Income and Expenses net of related direct operating expenses.

(b) Allowances are recorded through charges 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
impairment are made periodically on the basis of performance under the terms of
the loan agreement and assessments of property operations.

When the General Partner believes the likelihood of foreclosure is more than
remote, a loss provision is recorded if the loan balance exceeds the estimated
fair value of the collateral property less costs of disposal. Upon foreclosure,
actual losses are charged to the allowance and the fair value of the property
is transferred to real estate held for sale. Determinations of fair value
represent estimations based on many variables which affect the value of real
estate, including economic and demographic conditions. An allowance for loss is
recorded when a decline in the value of a property owned is believed to be
temporary. Impairment in value considered to be permanent results in the direct
writedown of the property's carrying value to its estimated fair value.

(c) Under certain circumstances, the Partnership has accepted promissory notes
in satisfaction of a borrower's obligations for certain fees upon prepayment of
a loan as required by the loan agreement. These fees include, among other
things, prepayment premiums and participations in the borrower's equity in the
collateral property. The Partnership's policy is to record such income on a
cash basis as payments required under the terms of the promissory notes are
received.

(d) Deferred expenses consist of refinancing fees which are amortized over the
term of the respective loan.

(e) Investment in joint venture with affiliates represents the Partnership's
15.37% interest in a joint venture with affiliates. Under the equity method of
accounting, the Partnership records its initial investment at cost and adjusts
its investment account for additional capital contributions, distributions and
its share of joint venture income or loss.

(f) The Partnership records repurchases of Interests by the Early Investment
Incentive Fund as a reduction of Partners' Capital (see Note 2 of Notes to
Financial Statements).  Cash and cash equivalents not yet utilized to
repurchase Interests, but which are part of the Early Investment Incentive
Fund, are classified as restricted assets of the Partnership.

(g) Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
<PAGE>
three months or less when purchased.

(h) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax
return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial
statements of the Partnership.

(i) Several reclassifications have been made in the previously reported 1993
and 1992 financial statements to conform with the classification used in 1994
including the reclassification of "loans in substantive foreclosure" to loans
to conform with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.114 which was adopted as of January 1, 1994. These reclassifications have
not changed the 1993 or 1992 results.

2. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized on October 21, 1982; however, operations did not
commence until 1983.  The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Mortgage
Advisors-III to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited
Partners through the sale of up to 450,000 Limited Partnership Interests at
$500 per Interest, 429,606 of which were sold on or prior to June 2, 1983, the
termination date of the offering.  For financial statements purposes, profits
and losses are allocated 92.5% to the Limited Partners, of which 2.5% relates
to the Early Investment Incentive Fund, and 7.5% to the General Partner.

To the extent that Cash Flow is distributed, distributions will be made as
follows: (i) 90% of such Cash Flow will be distributed to the Limited Partners,
(ii) 7.5% of such Cash Flow will be distributed to the General Partner, and
(iii) 2.5% of such Cash Flow will be set aside in the Early Investment
Incentive Fund (the "Fund") for payment on dissolution of the Partnership to
those investors who subscribed prior to August 31, 1983 ("Early Investors") if
necessary for them to receive a return of their Original Capital plus a
specified Cumulative Return based on the date of investment.  Amounts, if any,
remaining in the Fund after Early Investors have received such returns will be
distributed 90% to all Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner.

Amounts placed in the Fund may, at the sole discretion of the General Partner
and subject to certain limitations, be used to repurchase Interests from
existing Limited Partners. During 1994, the Fund repurchased 3,206 Interests at
a cost of $439,439. Distributions of Cash Flow and Mortgage Reductions
pertaining to such repurchased Interests are paid to the Fund.  To the extent
that amounts in the Fund are not utilized to repurchase Interests, such amounts
are invested in short-term interest-bearing instruments with interest thereon
being earned by the Fund.

3. Investment in Loans Receivable:

The Stonehaven South Apartments loan receivable had a balance of $1,789,746 and
$1,896,953 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Current monthly
payments of $20,041 are due representing an interest rate of 11.25%. The loan
matures in 1997. This loan has been classified as non-accrual at December 31,
1994 and 1993 due to the borrower's noncompliance with the original terms of
the loan agreement.

The Colonial Coach Mobile Home Park loan receivable which was funded by the
Partnership and an affiliated partnership (together, the "Participants") had a
balance of $1,247,350 at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The Partnership
participates ratably in approximately 12% of the original loan amount and
interest income. In February 1993, the Participants and the borrower executed a
second modification agreement of this loan which resulted in a decrease in the
contract rate of the loan. In August 1993, a third modification agreement was
executed which resulted in a change in the contract rate to 10% per annum with
an 8% pay rate per annum, effective with the September 1993 payment through an
extended maturity date of July 1998. The difference between the 10% contract
rate and the 8% pay rate is deferred and payable at maturity.  The third
modification also eliminated all types of contingent additional interest.  None
<PAGE>
of these amounts were previously recognized since receipt was dependent on
various conditions.  

The Stonehaven South Apartments loan receivable, due to its non-accrual status,
and the Colonial Coach Mobile Home Park loan receivable, due to the
restructuring of its monetary terms, are hereinafter referred to as impaired
loans.

Interest income relating to impaired loans would have been approximately
$505,000 in 1994, $505,000 in 1993 and $3,439,000 in 1992. Net interest income
from impaired loans included in the accompanying Statements of Income and
Expenses amounted to approximately $203,000 (cash basis) in 1994, $227,000 in
1993 and $1,311,000 in 1992.

Included in the impaired loan balances of $3,037,096 at December 31, 1994 is an
allowance for losses of $250,000 related to the Colonial Coach Mobile Home Park
loan. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended
December 31, 1994 was approximately $3,090,700.

4. Allowances for Losses on Loans and Real Estate Held for Sale:

Activity recorded in the allowances for losses on loans and real estate held
for sale during the three years ended December 31, 1994 is described in the
table below.

Included in the 1992 charge-off of losses are amounts reflecting the
Partnership's adoption of Statement of Position 92-3, "Accounting for
Foreclosed Assets" which required the Partnership to adjust the carrying
amounts of its real estate held for sale and loans previously classified as in
substantive foreclosure to the lower of fair value of the asset less estimated
costs to sell, or the cost of the asset. This change had no effect on the
results of operations of the Partnership in 1992 since the Partnership had
previously recorded these allowances to reflect declines in the value of the
real estate and loans.

5. Mortgage Notes Payable:

The mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consisted of the

(A) In April 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from
11.00% to 7.50%, the maturity date was extended from February 1993 to May 2028,
and monthly payments increased from $18,734 to $23,363. A portion of the
proceeds from the new $3,465,000 first mortgage loan was used to repay the
existing first mortgage loan of $1,829,202.

(B) In May 1993, this loan was refinanced. The interest rate decreased from
9.00% to 8.54%, the maturity date changed from November 2003 to June 1998, and
monthly payments decreased from $29,785 to $22,118. A portion of the proceeds
from the new $2,866,013 first mortgage loan were used to repay the existing
first mortgage loan of $2,749,909.

(C) This loan was repaid in January 1994.

The Partnership's mortgage notes described above require current monthly
payments of principal and interest, except for the Glendale Fashion Center
mortgage notes which require interest only payments. Real estate held for sale
with an aggregate carrying value of $25,261,530 at December 31, 1994 was
pledged as collateral for repayment of mortgage notes.

Maturities of mortgage notes payable in each of the next five years are
approximately as follows:

                         1995          $   897,000
                         1996            2,228,000
                         1997               86,000

                         1999            1,303,000

During the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership
incurred interest expense on the mortgage notes payable of $1,038,164,
$1,157,238 and $1,337,831, respectively, and paid interest of $1,046,137,
$1,157,238 and $1,337,831, respectively.

6. Investment in Joint Venture with Affiliates:

In February 1991, the Partnership and three affiliates (the "Participants")
acquired title to the Perimeter 400 Center Office Building.  Profits and
losses, and all capital contributions and distributions are allocated in
accordance with the Participants' original funding percentages.  The
Partnership's sharing percentage is 15.37%.  During 1993 and 1992, the
Partnership recognized a loss of $102,211 and $1,173,961, respectively, as its
share of the reduction in the carrying value of the property.  These amounts
are included in the Partnership's participation in income (loss) of joint
venture with affiliates.  In addition, during 1994, 1993 and 1992, the
Partnership received distributions from this joint venture totaling $324,937,
<PAGE>
$24,271 and $314,195, respectively.  The Partnership also made contributions of
$19,473 and $127,990 to this joint venture during 1994 and 1993, respectively.

7. Real Estate Held For Sale:

The Partnership acquired the North Kent Mall and the Glendale Fashion Center
through foreclosure in 1994. These properties were classified as real estate
held for sale at December 31, 1993. The Partnership also acquired the 240 E.
Ontario Office Building in 1992. The Partnership recorded the costs of the
properties at $15,849,638 and $9,864,354 in 1993 and 1992, respectively. These
amounts represented the outstanding loan balances plus any accrued interest
receivable. In addition, the Partnership increased the bases of the properties
by $350,265 and $672,092 during 1994 and 1992, respectively, and decreased the
bases by $45,552 during 1993 for certain other receivables, liabilities,
escrows and costs recognized or incurred in connection with the foreclosure. At
the date of each foreclosure, the property was transferred to real estate held
for sale at its fair value, net of allowances previously recorded.

8. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

                            Year Ended       Year Ended       Year Ended

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed six
of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third party
in November 1994.

The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other
affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of
the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The
program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no
fee for administering the program. The Partnership's premiums to the deductible
insurance program were $115,474, $57,566 and $65,021 for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

9. Management Agreements:

As of December 31, 1994, all of the properties owned by the Partnership are
under management agreements with third-party management companies. These
management agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts
for residential properties and 3% to 6% of gross operating receipts for
commercial properties.

10. Real Estate Sales:

The Partnership sold the Republic Park Office Building during 1994, the Shadows
Apartments, 240 E. Ontario Office Building and the land related to the
University Office Building during 1993 and the Haystack Apartments during 1992,
<PAGE>
in separate all cash sales for $3,250,000, $5,870,000 and $3,300,000,
respectively. From the proceeds of the sales, the Partnership paid $976,572,
$1,247,224 and $2,023,049 in full satisfaction of the Shadows, 240 E. Ontario
and Haystack first mortgage loans, respectively. The Republic Park Office
Building did not have underlying debt. The bases of the properties sold during
1994, 1993 and 1992 totaled $1,835,094, $5,374,000 and $4,509,644,
respectively. For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized net
gains of $1,170,546 and $124,039 from the sale of real estate during 1994 and
1993, respectively. The Partnership incurred a loss on the sale of the Haystack
Apartments of $1,345,615 which was written off against the allowance for losses
previously established.

11. Contingencies:

The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership and
certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging certain federal
securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of
disclosures of information concerning the offering of the Limited Partnership
Interests of the Partnership. The defendants continue to vigorously contest
this action. While a plaintiff class has been certified, no determinations of
the merits have been made. Although the outcome of these matters is not
presently determinable, it is management's opinion that the ultimate outcome
should not have a material adverse affect on the financial position of the
Partnership. Management of the defendants believes they have meritorious
defenses to contest the claims.

12. Subsequent Event:

In January 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $644,409 to the holders
of Limited Partnership Interests representing a regular quarterly distribution
of available Cash Flow of $1.50 per Interest for the fourth quarter of 1994.
