                    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 three of the Partnership's properties, as well as
 the receipt in 1995 of a refund of a portion of the 1993 real estate taxes
 relating to the 101 Marietta Tower office complex, resulted in an increase
 in net income for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as
 compared to the same periods in 1994.  Further discussion of the
 Partnership's operations is summarized below.

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

 Higher rental and occupancy rates at the Knollwood Village Apartments
 resulted in an increase in rental income for the six months and quarter
 ended June 30, 1995 as compared to same periods in 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. This reduction in real estate taxes has resulted in a
 decrease in service income during the six months ended June 30, 1995  when
 compared to the same period in 1994. The lower property assessment resulted
 in a refund of 1993 real estate taxes which was received in two
 installments during the first and second quarters of 1995, and was
 recognized as other income in the six months and quarter ended June 30,
 1995.

 Due to higher cash balances and interest rates, interest income on
 short-term investments increased during the six months and quarter ended
 June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.

 During June 1994 the Knollwood Village mortgage loan was refinanced.  The
 Partnership incurred a prepayment penalty in connection with retiring the
 prior mortgage loan which was recorded as interest expense.  As a result,
<PAGE>
 interest on mortgage notes payable decreased for the six months and quarter
 ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.

 As a result of lower tenant-related repairs and maintenance expenses and
 leasing costs at the 101 Marietta Tower office complex in 1995, and due to
 an exterior painting project at Canyon Point Apartments completed in 1994,
 property operating expense decreased for the six months and quarter ended
 June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods 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 quarter of 1994, resulting in
 additional management fees.  This caused a decrease in property management
 fees during the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 when compared to
 the same periods in 1994.

 Due to lower portfolio management fees, administrative expenses decreased
 during the six months ended June 30, 1995 when compared to the same period
 in 1994.  Due to increased legal fees, administrative expenses increased
 during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 when compared to the same period in
 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 for the six months
 and quarter ended June 30, 1994 with regard to this property.

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

 The cash position of the Partnership increased as of June 30, 1995 when
 compared to December 31, 1994. The cash flow provided by operating
 activities was generated primarily from the Partnership's properties and
 interest earned on short-term investments, and was partially offset by the
 payment of administrative expenses. Cash provided by investing activities
 consisted of the final distribution from a joint venture with an affiliate
 representing the Partnership's share of sales proceeds and property
 operations at the Belmere Apartments. Cash used in financing activities
 consisted of principal payments on the Partnership's mortgage notes payable
 and distributions to Limited Partners.

 During the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, all four of the
 Partnership's properties generated positive cash flow. 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 seeks rent increases where market conditions allow. As of
 June 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 99%. Despite recent 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 its remaining properties is in the best interest of the
 Partnership in order to maximize potential returns to Limited Partners.
 Therefore, the Partnership will continue to own its remaining properties
 for longer than the holding period for the assets originally described in
 the prospectus.
<PAGE>
 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 58% of the Partnership's total rental and service income
 recognized during the first six months of 1995 relates to GSA. At the
 current time, the Partnership has commenced discussion with prospective
 buyers for the sale of the 101 Marietta Tower.  The sale is subject to many
 factors and therefore may not be completed.  However, if the sale is
 completed, the Partnership expects to distribute the net proceeds from the
 sale to the Limited Partners in late 1995 or early 1996.  

 In July 1995, the Partnership paid $264,055 ($5.00 per Interest)
 representing the quarterly distribution to Limited Partners for the second
 quarter of 1995. The level of this distribution is consistent with that of
 the prior quarter. Including the July 1995 distribution, investors have
 received distributions of Net Cash Receipts totaling $110.50 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.

 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.
