                     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.  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, 1995, 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 1994 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

Operations
----------

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

Reduced tenant related expenditures at several of the Partnership's commercial
properties during the first six months of 1995 resulted in decreased property
operating expenses. This is the primary reason net income increased during the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in
1994.

1995 Compared to 1994 
---------------------

A decrease in common area maintenance reimbursements from tenants at Park
Center and Pacific Center office buildings resulted in lower service income for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
However, for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 service income increased as
compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of higher common area
maintenance reimbursements from tenants at the GSB and 8280 Greensboro Drive
office buildings.

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, 1995 and 1994. Of the amounts received,
approximately $107,000 was recorded as interest income and $87,000 as a
principal reduction in 1995, and approximately $111,000 as interest income and
$83,000 as a principal reduction in 1994. Interest income is presented net of
mortgage servicing fees in the financial statements.

Increased cash available for short-term investment and higher average interest
rates were the primary reasons for an increase in interest income on short-term
<PAGE>
investments during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared
to the same periods in 1994.

Decreased tenant related expenditures at the Pacific Center and GSB office
buildings and lower exterior painting costs at the Oxford Square Apartments
along with reduced common area repairs at the Park Center Office Building
resulted in lower property operating expenses for the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.

Primarily due to a decrease in portfolio management fees, administrative
expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
same period in 1994.

The Pacific Center Office Building generated income in 1995 due to lower tenant
related expenditures which resulted in affiliated participation in income from
joint venture for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to a loss
during the same period in 1994.  For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the
Pacific Center Office Building generated increased income due to lower tenant
related expenditures which resulted in an increase in affiliate participation
in income from joint venture for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased at June 30, 1995 when compared
to December 31, 1994. The Partnership's cash flow provided by operating
activities during 1995 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 were partially offset by the payment of
administrative expenses.  The cash provided by investing activities consisted
of the collection of principal payments on the Partnership's note receivable
which was partially offset by improvements to the Park Center Office Building.
Financing activities consisted of distributions to Limited Partners and the
General Partner and distributions to a joint venture with an affiliate. 

The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount
equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures.
During the first six months of 1995 and 1994, 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. As of June 30, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's
residential properties ranged from 90% to 95% and the commercial properties
ranged from 89% to 100%.

In July 1995, the Partnership paid $809,824 ($1.75 per Taxable Interest and
$2.33 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners, representing the quarterly
distribution for the second quarter of 1995. In addition, during July 1995, the
Partnership paid $67,485 to the General Partner as its distributive share of
the cash flow distributed for the second quarter of 1995 and made a
contribution of $22,495 to the Repurchase Fund.  The level of this distribution
decreased as compared to the first quarter of 1995.  Capital improvement
programs are planned for several of the Partnership's properties and
significant leasing costs are expected to be incurred at two of the
Partnership's office buildings,  which resulted in the General Partner
<PAGE>
temporarily decreasing the regular quarterly distribution level in order to
meet the capital requirements of the Partnership's assets.  To date, Limited
Partners have received distibutions aggregating approximately $226 per $500
Taxable Interest and $318 per $500 Tax-exempt Interest, including the July 1995
distribution. The General Partner expects that the 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the General Partner used amounts
placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 245 Interests from Limited Partners
at a cost of $68,029.

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.
