                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Equity Pension Investors-I (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
formed in 1983 to make first mortgage loans and to invest in and operate
income-producing real property.  The Partnership raised $179,614,500 from sales
of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to fund six loans
and acquire three real property investments.  From 1986 to 1990, the
Partnership accepted deeds in lieu of foreclosure on two of the loans, acquired
one of its collateral properties at a foreclosure sale, and accepted
prepayments on two additional loans.  As of June 30, 1994, the Partnership has
one loan and operates six 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 1993 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

Summary of Net Income
- - ---------------------

Higher tenant and upgrade expenditures at several of the Partnership's
properties during the first six months of 1994 resulted in an increase in
property operating expenses. This is the primary reason net income decreased
during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the same
periods in 1993. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

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

The Fairview Plaza III Office Building loan is on non-accrual status, whereby
income is recorded only as cash payments are received from the borrower.
Pursuant to the terms of the January 1992 modification of the loan, the
Partnership received payments totaling approximately $194,000 during each of
the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. Of the amounts received,
approximately $111,000 was recorded as interest income and $83,000 as a
principal reduction in 1994, and approximately $116,000 as interest income and
$78,000 as a principal reduction in 1993. Interest income is presented net of
mortgage servicing fees in the financial statements. 

During the first half of 1994, expenditures for interior upgrades at the Oxford
Hills Apartments, increased tenant expenditures at the Pacific Center Office
Buildings and expenditures for common area upgrades at the 8280 Greensboro
Drive and Park Center office buildings resulted in an increase in property
operating expenses during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1994 as
compared to the same periods in 1993. The Pacific Center Office Buildings
operated at a loss as a result of the higher property operating expenses, and
correspondingly, the affiliated joint venture partner recognized its
participation in the loss of the joint venture during the first six months of
1994 as compared to income during the same period in 1993.

Due to higher accounting and portfolio management fees, administrative expenses
increased during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1994 as compared to
the same periods in 1993.

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

The Partnership's cash flow provided by operating activities during the six
months ended June 30, 1994 was generated from the operation of the
Partnership's properties and from interest income received on the Fairview
Plaza III loan and short-term investments, which was partially offset by the
payment of administrative expenses. The Partnership used the cash flow provided
by operating activities and a portion of cash reserves to fund investing
activities, which consisted primarily of improvements to the GSB Office
Building, and to fund financing activities which consisted primarily of
distributions to Limited Partners and the General Partner. The cash or near
cash position of the Partnership decreased at June 30, 1994 when compared to
December 31, 1993. The Partnership's cash or near cash position fluctuates
during each quarter, initially decreasing with the payment of Partnership
distributions for the previous quarter, and then gradually increasing each
month as mortgage payments and property operating income are received. 

During the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, all six of the
Partnership's properties generated positive cash flow. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the General Partner, on behalf of
the Partnership, used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 311
Interests from Limited Partners at a total cost of $83,380.

In July 1994, the Partnership paid $1,157,338 ($2.50 per Taxable Interest and
$3.33 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners, representing the quarterly
distribution for the second quarter of 1994. The level of this distribution was
consistent with the amount distributed for the first quarter of 1994. The
General Partner expects that cash flow from property operations and debt
service payments on the mortgage loan should enable the Partnership to continue
making quarterly distributions to Limited Partners. However, the level of
future distributions will be dependent on the amount of cash flow generated
from property operations and the receipts from the mortgage loan, as to which
there can be no assurances.

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.
