                     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, accepted prepayments on the three remaining
loans, and sold one property in August 1996.  As of September 30, 1996, the
Partnership operated five 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 1995 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of property related to the August
1996 sale of the Oxford Square Apartments as well as an increase in income on
short-term investments during 1996. These amounts were partially offset by
increased tenant related expenditures at two of the Partnership's office
buildings. The net result was an increase in net income during the nine months
and quarters ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995.
Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1996 Compared to 1995 
- ---------------------

Discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer to both the nine months
and quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, unless otherwise noted.

Improved occupancy and higher rental rates at the 8280 Greensboro Drive and the
Pacific Center office buildings resulted in increased rental income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.
This increase was partially offset for the nine months and fully offset for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 by a decrease in rental income resulting from
the sale of the Oxford Square Apartments. As a result, rental income decreased
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in
1996.
 
An increase in lease escalations and common area maintenance reimbursements
from tenants at the 8280 Greensboro Drive and the Park Center office buildings
resulted in higher service income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in lease escalations at the GSB office building for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. 
<PAGE>
Increased cash available for short-term investment due primarily to the Oxford
Square Apartments sale during August 1996, and the Fairview III loan prepayment
in December 1995, was the primary reason for an increase in interest income on
short-term investments during 1996 as compared to 1995.

As a result of the Fairview Plaza III loan prepayment in 1995, interest income
on loan receivable ceased during 1995.

Increased leasing costs and repairs to common areas at the GSB Office Building,
in addition to increased common area repairs, tax consultant expense and tenant
related expenditures at the 8280 Greensboro Drive Office Building, resulted in
higher property operating expenses for 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995. This increase for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
1995 was partially offset by lower suite rental expenses and apartment repairs
at the Oxford Hills Apartments. The increase in property operating expense for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 was
partially offset by a decrease in property operating expenses due to the sale
of Oxford Square Apartments in August 1996 and due to lower tenant related
expenditures at the Park Center Office Building in 1996.

A lower assessed value and tax rate in 1996 at the Oxford Hills Apartments and
lower expense due to the sale of Oxford Square Apartments during August 1996
resulted in a decrease in real estate tax expense in 1996 as compared to 1995.

The Partnership incurred additional legal, consulting, postage and printing
costs in connection with its response to a tender offer and certain related
litigation. As a result, administrative expense increased during 1996 as
compared to 1995.
 
In August 1996, the Partnership sold the Oxford Square Apartments and
recognized a gain on sale of $2,214,430. 

The Pacific Center Office Building generated increased income in 1996 due to
higher rental income, which increased affiliate's minority interest in income
from the joint venture for 1996 as compared to 1995.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $12,051,000 as
of September 30, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995 resulting primarily from
the proceeds received from the August 1996 sale of Oxford Square Apartments.
Cash flow of approximately $4,749,000 was provided by operating activities
during 1996 consisting primarily of cash generated from the operation of the
Partnership's properties and interest income from short-term investments which
was partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. Cash provided
by investing activities of approximately $10,018,000 consisted primarily of net
proceeds from the sale of Oxford Square Apartments. Cash used in financing
activities of approximately $2,716,000 consisted primarily of distributions to
Partners. Proceeds from the sale of Oxford Square Apartments were distributed
to Tax-exempt Limited Partners in October 1996 as discussed below.
<PAGE>
The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount
equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, all five of the
properties owned by the Partnership generated positive cash flow. The Oxford
Square Apartments which was sold in August 1996, generated positive cash flow
in 1995 and in 1996, prior to the sale.

As of September 30, 1996, the occupancy rate at the Oxford Hills Apartment was
93%, while rates for the commercial properties ranged from 90% to 98%. 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. 

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing and office
properties is favorable to sellers of these properties. During August 1996, the
Partnership sold the Oxford Square Apartments. Currently, the Partnership has
entered into contracts to sell the Oxford Hills Apartments and the Pacific
Center Office Buildings in which the Partnership holds a majority joint venture
interest, for sales prices of $22,278,500 and $16,750,000, respectively. The
Partnership is actively marketing its remaining properties. The General Partner
examines each property individually by property type and market in determining
the optimal time to sell each property. 

In August 1996 the Partnership sold the Oxford Square Apartments in an all cash
sale for $10,500,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid
$387,578 in selling costs. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, the Partnership
was required to holdback $250,000 of the proceeds until September 1996. The
full amount of the holdback was released in September 1996.  The proceeds were
distributed as part of a special distribution to the Tax-exempt Limited
Partners in October 1996, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. See
Note 3 of Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

In October 1996, the Partnership paid $14,241,661 ($1.75 per Taxable Interest
and $45.33 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners, representing the
regular quarterly distribution of available cash flow of $1.75 per Taxable
Interest and $2.33 per Tax-exempt Interest, and a special Net Cash Proceeds
distribution to Tax-exempt Limited Partners of $43.00 per Interest from  
proceeds from the 1996 sale of the Oxford Square Apartments and the December
1995 repayment of the Fairview Plaza III Office Building loan receivable. In
addition, during October 1996, the Partnership paid $67,485 to the General
Partner as its distributive share of the Net Cash Receipts distributed for the
third quarter of 1996 and made a contribution of $22,495 to the Repurchase
Fund. The level of the quarterly Net Cash Receipts distribution was consistent
with that of the prior quarter. Including the October 1996 distribution,
Limited Partners have received distributions totaling $234.35 per $500.00
Taxable Interest, of which $221.36 represents Net Cash Receipts and $12.99
represents Net Cash Proceeds and $373.47 per $500.00 Tax-exempt Interest, of
which $294.48 represents Net Cash Receipts and $78.99 represents Net Cash
Proceeds. The General Partner expects that the cash flow from property
operations should enable the Partnership to continue making quarterly
distributions to Limited Partners.
<PAGE>
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the General Partner used
amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 323 Interests from Limited
Partners at a cost of $71,765. 

Changing interest rates can impact real estate values in several ways.
Generally, declining interest rates may lower the cost of capital allowing
buyers to pay more for a property whereas rising interest rates may increase
the cost of capital and lower the price of real estate.

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.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

Proposed Class and Derivative Action Lawsuits
- ---------------------------------------------

On June 14, 1996, a proposed class and derivative action complaint was filed,
Dee vs. Walton Street Capital Acquisition II, LLC (Circuit Court of Cook
County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division ("Chancery Court"), Case
No. 96 CH 06283) (the "Dee Case"), naming the General Partner and the general
partners (the "Balcor Defendants") of nine other limited partnerships sponsored
by The Balcor Company (together with the Partnership, the "Affiliated
Partnerships"), as well as the Affiliated Partnerships, as defendants.
Additional defendants were Insignia Management Group ("Insignia") and Walton
Street Capital Acquisition II, LLC ("Walton") and certain of their affiliates
and principals (collectively, the "Walton and Insignia Defendants"). The
complaint alleged, among other things, that the tender offers for the purchase
of limited partnership interests in the Affiliated Partnerships made by a joint
venture consisting of affiliates of Insignia and Walton were coercive and
unfair.  

On July 1, 1996, another proposed class action complaint was filed in the same
court, Anderson vs. Balcor Mortgage Advisors (Case No. 96 CH 06884) (the
"Anderson Case").  An amended complaint consolidating the Dee and Anderson
Cases (the "Dee/Anderson Case") was filed on July 25, 1996.  

The complaint seeks to assert class and derivative claims again the Walton and
Insignia Defendants and alleges that, in connection with the tender offers, the
Walton and Insignia Defendants misused the Balcor Defendants' and Insignia's
fiduciary positions and knowledge in breach of the Walton and Insignia
Defendants' fiduciary duty and in violation of the Illinois Securities and
Consumer Fraud Acts. The plaintiffs amended their complaint on October 8, 1996,
adding additional claims. The plaintiffs request certification as a class and
derivative action, unspecified compensatory damages and rescission of the
tender offers. Each of the defendants have filed motions to dismiss the
complaint. The court has not yet ruled on these motions.

The Balcor Defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has
been certified as of this date. Management of each of the Balcor Defendants
believes they have meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not
determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action
would have a material adverse impact on the Partnership.
<PAGE>
Proposed class action
- ---------------------

On August 30, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Lenore Klein
vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al. (Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division,
Union County, Docket No. Unn-L-5162-96). The Partnership, additional limited
partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company (together with the
Partnership, the "Affiliated Partnerships"), American Express Company, Lehman
Brothers, Inc., additional limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of
Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Partnership and the Affiliated
Partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships") and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are
the named defendants in the action. The complaint was amended on October 18,
1996 to add additional plaintiffs. The amended complaint alleges, among other
things, common law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach of
contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of certain New Jersey statutes
relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of limited
partnership interests in the Defendant Partnerships. The amended complaint
seeks judgment for compensatory damages equal to the amount invested in the
Defendant Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest accrued thereon;
general damages for injuries arising from the defendants' actions; equitable
relief, including rescission, on certain counts; punitive damages; treble
damages on certain counts; recovery from the defendants of all profits received
by them as a result of their actions relating to the Defendant Partnerships;
attorneys' fees and other costs.

The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been
certified as of this date. Management of each of the defendants believes they
have meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this
time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a
material adverse impact on the Partnership.
