4. Loan Refinancing:

In June 1994, the Partnership completed the refinancing of the Knollwood
Village Apartments mortgage loan, which was scheduled to mature in December
1994. The principal balance on the prior loan was $11,700,000 and bore interest
at a rate of 9.00%. The Partnership incurred a prepayment penalty of $155,839
in connection with retiring the loan, which has been recorded as interest
expense. The terms of the new loan provide for a $13,000,000 mortgage balance
with a 9.55% interest rate, monthly principal and interest payments of
$109,786, and a maturity date of July 2004. Fees of $401,372 were paid in
connection with the refinancing and $302,060 and $903,512 were deposited into
real estate tax and capital improvement escrow accounts, respectively.


5. Subsequent Event:

In October 1994, the Partnership made a distribution of $264,055 ($5.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing the
quarterly distribution of available Net Cash Receipts for the third quarter of
1994.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Equity Properties-XVIII A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1984 to invest in and operate
income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $52,811,000 through the
sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire
four real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one
additional real property. The Partnership continues to operate these
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 Operations
- ---------------------

Increased service income at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex resulted in
net income for the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 1994
as compared to a net loss during the same period in 1993. Further discussion of
the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

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

Higher rental rates at the Canyon Point, Hidden Lake and Knollwood Village
apartment complexes resulted in an increase in rental income for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to some periods in
1993.

As required by the terms of the General Service Administration ("GSA") lease at
the 101 Marietta Tower office complex, a recalculation of the recoverable
expenses was made in late 1993. This calculation has resulted in an increase in
service income and property management fees during the nine months and quarter
ended September 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods in 1993. 

Due to higher cash balances and interest rates, interest income on short-term
investments increased during the nine months and quarter ended September 30,
1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993.

As a result of a prepayment penalty, which has been recorded as interest
expense, and a higher mortgage loan balance associated with the Knollwood
Village Apartments refinancing in June 1994, interest expense on purchase
price, promissory and mortgage notes payable increased for the nine months and
quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to same periods in 1993. This
increase was partially offset by the 1993 refinancings of the Hidden Lakes and
Canyon Point apartment complexes' mortgage notes at lower rates.

The refinancings of the Hidden Lakes, Canyon Point and Knollwood Village
apartment complexes' mortgage notes required the payment of deferred expenses
which are now being amortized over the terms of the mortgage notes payable. As
a result, amortization expense increased for the nine months ended September
30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993. 

As a result of higher insurance and janitorial expenses in the third quarter of
1994 at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex, property operating expense
increased for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same
period in 1993.

A lower property assessment at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex caused
real estate tax expense to decrease for the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to same periods in 1993.

Due to higher portfolio management, data processing, legal and accounting fees,
administrative expenses increased during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods in 1993.


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

The cash or near cash position of the Partnership increased as of September 30,
1994 when compared to December 31, 1993. The Partnership's cash flow provided
by operating activities was generated by cash flow from the properties which
included the collection of approximately $1,500,000 of recoverable expenses
from GSA at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex. The operating activities
also include receipt of short-term interest income and payment of
administrative expenses. Cash used in investing activities consisted of tenant
improvements at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex and a capital
contribution to the joint venture for the Partnership's share of operating
deficits at the Belmere Apartments. Cash used in financing activities consisted
of principal payments on the Partnership's purchase price, promissory and
mortgage notes payable, distributions to Limited Partners, a release of a
capital improvement escrow at Hidden Lakes Apartments and activity associated
with the refinancing of the Knollwood Village Apartments mortgage note payable.

The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the
property's rental and service income. During the nine months ended September
30, 1994 and 1993, the Hidden Lakes, Canyon Point, Knollwood Village apartment
complexes and the 101 Marietta Tower office complex generated positive cash
flow. The Belmere apartment complex, in which the Partnership holds a minority
joint venture interest, operated at a marginal cash flow deficit during both
periods.

While the cash flow of the Partnership's properties has improved, the General
Partner continues to pursue actions aimed at improving property operating
performance and seek rent increases where market conditions allow. Despite
improvements in the local economies and rental markets where certain of the
Partnership's properties are located, the General Partner believes that
continued ownership of many of the properties is in the best interests of the
Partnership in order to maximize potential returns to Limited Partners. The
Belmere apartment complex is currently being marketed for sale; however, the
Partnership expects to continue to own the remaining properties for longer than
the holding period originally described in the prospectus.

Approximately 83% of the space at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex is
leased to GSA and 48% of the Partnership's total rental and service income
recognized during the first nine months of 1994 relates to GSA. In August 1992,
GSA exercised an option under the existing lease to extend its lease for an
additional five years through December 1997. The Federal government has
approved construction of a new 1.2 million square foot office building in
Atlanta. This project is scheduled to be completed in 1997 and current plans
call for twelve Federal agencies (including GSA) to be relocated from their
current offices into the new project. If completed on time, it is likely that
GSA would vacate the property at the end of its lease term in 1997 and the
Partnership would have the responsibility to lease this space. 

In October 1994, the Partnership paid $264,055 ($5.00 per Interest)
representing the quarterly distribution to Limited Partners for the third
quarter of 1994. The level of this distribution is consistent with that of the
prior quarter. To date, investors have received distributions of Net Cash
Receipts totaling $95.50 and Net Cash Proceeds totaling $14.50 per $1,000
Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. Continued distributions will depend
on the level of cash flow generated by the Partnership's properties and
proceeds from future property sales, as to all of which there can be no
assurances.

Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party
mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the
financial obligations required by such loans. The $11,700,000 mortgage loan
collateralized by the Knollwood Village apartment complex, which had a maturity
date of December 1994, was refinanced in June 1994. See Note 4 of Notes to the
Financial Statements for additional information. As a result of the General
Partner's successful efforts to obtain loan modifications as well as
refinancings of many existing loans with new lenders, the Partnership has no
third party financing which matures prior to 1998.

On November 4, 1994, The Balcor Company completed the sale of the assets of
Allegiance Realty Group, Inc. to an unaffiliated company, Insignia Allegiance
Management, Inc. ("Insignia"), which is based in Greenville, South Carolina. As
a result of this transaction, Insignia has assumed the management of the
Partnership's properties. This transaction is not expected to result in any
material change to the property management fees paid by the Partnership.

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.
