                      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 March 31, 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 expenditures at several of the Partnership's properties during
the first three months of 1995 resulted in decreased property operating
expenses. This is the primary reason net income increased during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

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

A decrease in common area maintenance reimbursements from tenants at the 8280
Greensboro Drive Office Building resulted in lower service income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

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 $97,000 during each of the
quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. Of the amounts received, approximately
$54,000 was recorded as interest income and $43,000 as a principal reduction in
1995, and approximately $56,000 as interest income and $41,000 as a principal
reduction in 1994. Interest income is presented net of mortgage servicing fees
in the financial statements.

Due to higher interest rates earned on short-term investments during 1995,
interest income on short-term investments increased during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

Decreased tenant expenditures and utility expenses at the Pacific Center, GSB
and 8280 Greensboro Drive office buildings as well as decreased snow removal
and janitorial expenses at the GSB Office Building resulted in a decrease in
property operating expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994. The Pacific Center Office Buildings generated
income as a result of lower property operating expenses which resulted in
affiliate's participation in income from joint venture for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to a loss during the same period in 1994.

Due to decreases in portfolio management and other professional fees,
administrative expenses decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased at March 31, 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 Partnership used the cash flow provided by
operating activities to fund investing activities, which consisted of
improvements to the Park Center Office Building, which was partially offset by
the collection of principal payments received on the Fairview Plaza III loan,
and to fund financing activities which consisted of distributions to Limited
Partners and the General Partner. 

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 quarter of 1995, all six of the Partnership's properties
generated positive cash flow. During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, five of
the Partnership's six properties generated positive cash flow while the Pacific
Center Office Building generated a marginal cash flow deficit. The improvement
in cash flow at the Pacific Center Office Building was primarily due to
decreased tenant and utility costs. 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 March 31, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's
residential properties ranged from 88% to 93% and the commercial properties
ranged from 89% to 100%.

In April 1995, 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 first quarter of 1995. The level of this distribution was
consistent with the amount distributed for the fourth quarter of 1994. To date,
Limited Partners have received distributions aggregating approximately $224 per
$500 Taxable Interest and $316 per $500 Tax-exempt Interest, including the
April 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. Due to capital improvement programs planned for several of the
Partnership's properties and significant leasing costs expected to be incurred
at two of the Partnership's office buildings, the General Partner anticipates
temporarily decreasing the regular quarterly distribution level later this year
in order to meet the capital requirements of the Partnership's assets.

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.
