NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies:
(a) For financial statement purposes, the capital accounts of the General
Partner and the Limited Partners have been adjusted to appropriately reflect
their remaining economic interests as provided for in the Partnership
Agreement.
(b) In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the six months
and quarter ended June 30, 1998, and all such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.
2. Partnership Termination:
The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. During 1997, the Partnership sold its three remaining properties.
The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales to
satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as to establish a reserve for
contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final
distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and
contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal
and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 6 of Notes to
Financial Statements. In the absence of any such contingencies, the reserves
will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold. In the event
a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the
Partnership for a longer period of time.
3. Other Income:
The Partnership recognized other income during 1998 primarily due to refunds
received from vendors relating to certain of the properties sold in 1997.
4. Interest Expense:
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership incurred and paid
interest expense on mortgage notes payable to non-affiliates of $566,198.
5. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1998 are:

-------------------------
Six Months Quarter Payable
------------ --------- ---------
<PAGE>
Reimbursement of expenses to
the General Partner, at cost $ 18,745 $ 6,456 $ 73,143
6. Contingencies:
The Partnership is currently involved in two lawsuits whereby the Partnership
and certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging substantially
similar claims involving certain state securities and common law violations
with regard to the property acquisition process of the Partnership, and to the
adequacy and accuracy of disclosures of information concerning, as well as
marketing efforts related to, the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests
of the Partnership. The defendants continue to vigorously contest these
actions. A plaintiff class has not been certified in either action and, no
determinations of the merits have been made. It is not determinable at this
time whether or not an unfavorable decision in either action would have a
material adverse impact on the Partnership's financial position. The
Partnership believes that it has meritorious defenses to contest the claims.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Balcor Realty Investors-84 (the "Partnership") was formed in 1982 to invest in
and operate income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $140,000,000
from sales of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to
acquire twenty-three real property investments and a minority joint venture
interest in one additional property. As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership has
no properties remaining in its portfolio.
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 1997 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.
Operations
- ----------
Summary of Operations
- ---------------------
Administrative expenses were higher than interest income earned on short-term
investments during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1998. This was
the primary reason the Partnership recognized a net loss during the six months
and quarter ended June 30, 1998. During January and June 1997, the Partnership
sold the Somerset Pointe and Courtyards of Kendall apartment complexes,
respectively, and recognized gains in connection with these sales, which
resulted in the Partnership generating net income during the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 1997. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations
is summarized below.
1998 Compared to 1997
- ---------------------
Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1998 and 1997 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
In 1997, the Partnership sold its three remaining properties; the Somerset
Pointe, Courtyards of Kendall and Briarwood Place apartment complexes. As a
result, rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable,
depreciation, amortization, property operating expense, real estate taxes and
property management fees ceased during 1997.
Higher average cash balances were available for investment in 1997 due to
proceeds received in connection with the 1997 sales of the Partnership's
properties prior to distribution to the Limited Partners. This resulted in a
decrease in interest income on short-term investments during 1998 as compared
to 1997.
<PAGE>
The Partnership recognized other income during 1998 primarily due to refunds
received from vendors relating to certain of the properties sold in 1997. In
connection with the sale of Somerset Pointe Apartments in 1997, the Partnership
recognized other income of $252,462 representing the difference between the
contractual amount of the first mortgage loan and the carrying amount of the
loan.
The Partnership paid to the lender a participation fee of $225,000 in
connection with the sale of the Courtyards of Kendall Apartments during 1997.
The lender participation fee represents additional interest paid to the lender
calculated as a percentage of the sale price in excess of a certain amount
specified in the loan agreement.
Due to lower accounting, portfolio management and professional fees and bank
charges, administrative expense decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997.
In January and June 1997, the Partnership sold the Somerset Pointe and
Courtyards of Kendall apartment complexes, respectively, and recognized
aggregate gains on sale of $16,886,478.
During February 1997, the Partnership paid $234,721 in full satisfaction of the
junior mortgage loan outstanding from an affiliate of the General Partner
related to the Woodland Hills Apartments, representing a discount of $111,245.
The loan had an outstanding balance of $345,966, which included accrued
interest of $9,094. The discount was recognized as an extraordinary item and
classified as a gain on forgiveness of debt for financial statement purposes.
In connection with the sale of the Somerset Pointe Apartments in 1997, the
Partnership wrote-off the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees in the
amount of $51,536. This amount was recognized as an extraordinary item and
classified as debt extinguishment expense for financial statement purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $4,880,000 as
of June 30, 1998 when compared to December 31, 1997 primarily due to the
January 1998 distribution to Limited Partners of Net Cash Proceeds from the
sale of the Briarwood Place Apartments. The Partnership used cash of
approximately $70,000 in its operating activities to pay administrative
expenses which was partially offset by interest income earned on short-term
investments and refunds received from vendors related to properties sold in
1997. The Partnership used cash to fund its financing activities which
consisted of a distribution to Limited Partners of approximately $4,811,000.
The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. During 1997, the Partnership sold its three remaining properties.
The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales to
satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for
contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final
distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and
<PAGE>
contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal
and other fees and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership
including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in Note 6 of Notes to the
Financial Statements. In the absence of any such contingencies, the reserves
will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold. In the event
a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the
Partnership for a longer period of time.
To date, Limited Partners have received distributions totaling $319.36 per
$1,000 Interest. Of this amount, $4.00 represents Cash Flow from operations and
$315.36 represents a return of Original Capital. No additional distributions
are anticipated to be made prior to the termination of the Partnership.
However, after paying final partnership expenses, any remaining cash reserves
will be distributed. Limited Partners will not recover a substantial portion of
their original investment.
