                     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, which was sold in 1994. The Partnership continues to
operate four 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 Operations
- ---------------------

Improved operations at two of the Partnership's properties resulted in an
increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994.  An increase in service income at the 101 Marietta
Tower office complex resulted in net income for the quarter ended September 30,
1995 as compared to a net loss for the same period in 1994.  Further discussion
of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

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

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1995 and 1994 refer
to both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Service income increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 due to an increase in reimbursements for
tenants' expenditures at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex.

Due to higher cash balances and interest rates, interest income on short-term
investments increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.

A lower property assessment at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex,
retroactive to the 1993 tax year, has reduced real estate tax expense and
recoverable expenses.  The lower property assessment resulted in a refund of
1993 real estate taxes which was received and recognized as other income in the
nine months ended September 30, 1995.  In addition, due to the timing of the
reassessment in the third quarter of 1994, the Partnership recognized higher
real estate taxes during the third quarter of 1995 as compared to 1994.

The refinancing of the Knollwood Village mortgage note payable in 1994 required
the payment of deferred expenses which are now being amortized over the term of
<PAGE>
the mortgage note payable.  As a result, amortization expense increased for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

A recalculation of the recoverable expenses as required by the terms of the
General Service Administration ("GSA") lease at the 101 Marietta Tower office
complex was made in late 1993.  Additional income related to this recalculation
was received in the second and third quarters of 1994, resulting in additional
management fees.  This caused a decrease in property management fees during
1995 as compared to 1994.

Due to lower portfolio management fees, administrative expenses decreased
during 1995 as compared to 1994.  

Belmere Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture
interest, was sold during December 1994. The Partnership recognized a
participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate during 1994 with
regard to this property.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased as of September 30, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994. The increase resulted primarily from increased
cash flow from operations of the Partnership's properties, a portion of which
was used for distributions to Limited Partners.

The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount
equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures,
which include debt service payments.  During the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1994, all four of the Partnership's properties generated positive
cash flow.  Belmere Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint
venture interest, was sold in December 1994 and was generating a marginal cash
flow deficit during 1994 prior to its sale.  While the cash flow of certain of
the Partnership's properties has improved, the General Partner continues to
pursue actions aimed at improving property operating performance and to seek
rent increases where market conditions allow. 

As of September 30, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's residential
properties ranged from 93% to 100%, while the occupancy rate at the 101
Marietta Tower office complex was 98%. 
 
Approximately 83% of the space at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex is
leased to the General Service Administration ("GSA"), which will expire in
December 1997, and 57% of the Partnership's total rental and service income
recognized for the nine months of 1995 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 office building in Atlanta.  This project is
under construction and is scheduled to be completed in late 1996.  Current
plans call for various 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 all or most of its space by the end of its lease term in
1997.  At the current time, the Partnership has commenced discussions with
prospective buyers for the sale of the 101 Marietta Tower.  However, a sale is
subject to many factors and therefore may not be completed.  
<PAGE>
In October 1995, the Partnership paid $264,055 ($5.00 per Interest)
representing the quarterly distribution to Limited Partners for the third
quarter of 1995. The level of this distribution is consistent with that of the
prior quarter. Assuming property operations meet current projections, the
Partnership anticipates making regular quarterly distributions from the
Partnership's continuing property operations and from any cash reserves above
an amount necessary to protect against unforeseen events.  To date, Limited
Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts totaling $115.50 and
Net Cash Proceeds totaling $14.50 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax
benefits.  It is expected that the remaining properties will be sold over the
next two to three years and the Partnership will be liquidated at that time.
However, the timetable for the liquidation is largely dependent upon the sale
of the 101 Marietta Tower.  

In December 1994, the joint venture in which the Partnership owned a 25.6%
interest sold the Belmere Apartments for a sale price of $8,500,000. From the
sale proceeds, the joint venture repaid the first mortgage loan and other costs
and received approximately $1,755,000. In February 1995, the Partnership
received a distribution of $482,229 which represents its share of sales
proceeds and fourth quarter property operations. This amount was included in
accounts receivable in the financial statements at December 31, 1994.

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. As a result of the General
Partner's efforts to modify and refinance these loans, the Partnership has no
third party financing which matures prior to 1998.

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.
