                                    PART I

Item 1. Business
- ----------------

Balcor Realty Investors 84-Series II, A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1983 and governed by the laws
of the State of Maryland. The Registrant raised $87,037,000 from sales of
Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant has retained cash reserves from
the sale of its real estate investments for contingencies which exist or may
arise. The Registrant's operations currently consist of interest income earned
on short-term investments and the payment of administrative expenses.

The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire fourteen real
property investments and has since disposed of all of these investments. The
Partnership Agreement provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of
the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Registrant upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. The Registrant sold its final real estate investment in June 1997.
The Registrant has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales to
satisfy obligations of the Registrant as well as establish a reserve for
contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Registrant 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 Registrant
including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in "Item 3. Legal
Proceedings". Due to this litigation, the Registrant will not be dissolved and
reserves will be held by the Registrant until the conclusion of all
contingencies.  There can be no assurances as to the time frame for conclusion
of these contingencies. 

See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources" for information regarding the
Registrant's Year 2000 readiness.

The Registrant no longer has an ownership interest in any real estate
investment. The General Partner is not aware of any material potential
liability relating to environmental issues or conditions affecting real estate
formerly owned by the Registrant. 

The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-84 II, Inc., the General Partner
of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The
Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations.

Item 2. Properties
- ------------------
As of December 31, 1998, the Registrant did not own any properties.

In the opinion of the General Partner, the Registrant has obtained adequate
insurance coverage for property liability and property damage matters.
<PAGE>
See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding former real
property investments.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------

Klein, et al. vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al.
- -----------------------------------------------

On August 30, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Lenore Klein,
et al. vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al. (Superior Court of New Jersey, Law
Division, Union County, Docket No. Unn-L-5162-96). The complaint was amended on
each of October 18, 1996, December 5, 1997 and January 15, 1998. The
Registrant, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor
Company (together with the Registrant, the "Affiliated Partnerships"), The
Balcor Company, American Express Company, Lehman Brothers, Inc., Smith Barney,
Inc., American Express Financial Advisors, and other affiliated entities and
various individuals are named defendants in the action. The most recent amended
complaint, plaintiffs' Third 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 Affiliated Partnerships, the marketing of interests in the
Affiliated Partnerships and the acquisition of real properties for the
Affiliated Partnerships. The Third Amended Complaint seeks judgment for
compensatory damages equal to the amount invested in the Affiliated
Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest; general damages for injuries
arising from the defendants' alleged 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 alleged actions relating to the Affiliated Partnerships;
attorneys' fees and other costs.

In June 1998, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for
failure to state a cause of action. Oral arguments were heard by the court on
August 21, 1998. On September 24, 1998, the judge issued a letter opinion
granting the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 23, 1998,
the judge announced that he would enter an order dismissing the complaint
without prejudice, but stated that the plaintiffs would be required to file any
new pleading in a separate action and would not be allowed to amend the
existing complaint. The plaintiffs moved for a reconsideration of the judge's
ruling, which was denied on November 20, 1998. On December 28, 1998, plaintiffs
filed a notice of appeal from both the judge's October 23 and November 20, 1998
rulings.

On March 11, 1999, an order was entered by the Superior Court of New Jersey,
Appellate Division, dismissing the appeal in this action with prejudice. 
Therefore, this will be the final report to investors regarding this matter.
<PAGE>
Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al.
- ---------------------------------------

On February 29, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Raymond
Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Case No. 96/103727 (Supreme Court of
the State of New York, County of New York). The Registrant, additional limited
partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company, three limited
partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together
with the Registrant and the affiliated partnerships, the "Defendant
Partnerships"), Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Smith Barney, Inc. are defendants.
The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud and deceit,
negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty relating to the
disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership interests in
the Defendant Partnerships. The 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' alleged actions; recovery from the defendants of
all profits received by them as a result of their alleged actions relating to
the Defendant Partnerships; exemplary damages; attorneys' fees and other costs.

The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been
certified as of this date. The Registrant believes it has meritorious defenses
to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time how the outcome of
this action will impact the remaining cash reserves of the Registrant.

Plaintiffs' lead counsel also represents the plaintiffs in the Lenore Klein
matter discussed above. Plaintiffs' counsel has indicated an intent to withdraw
this complaint. Raymond Masri has joined as an additional plaintiff in the
Lenore Klein matter discussed above. 

Bruss et al. vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al.
- ----------------------------------------------

On January 25, 1999, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Dorothy
Bruss, et al. vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al. (Superior Court of New Jersey,
Law Division, Essex County, Docket No. L-000898-99).  The Registrant,
additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company
(together with the Registrant, the Affiliated Partnerships), The Balcor
Company, American Express Company, Lehman Brothers, Inc., Smith Barney, Inc.,
American Express Financial Corporation, and other affiliated entities and
various individuals are named defendants in the action.  Lead counsel
representing the plaintiffs in this case is the same counsel representing the
plaintiffs in each of the Lenore Klein and Raymond Masri cases discussed above.
The complaint relates largely to the same issues as those raised in the Lenore
Klein and the Raymond Masri cases.  The 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 and other similar
state statutes relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of
limited partnership interests in the Affiliated Partnerships, the marketing of
interests in the Affiliated Partnerships and the acquisition of real property
for the Affiliated Partnerships.  The complaint seeks judgment for compensatory
damages equal to the amount invested in the Affiliated Partnerships by the
<PAGE>
proposed class plus interest; general damages for injuries arising from the
defendants' alleged 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 alleged actions
relating to the Affiliated Partnerships; and attorneys' fees and other costs.

The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action.  No class has been
certified as of this date.  The Registrant believes that it has meritorious
defenses to contest the claims.  It is not determinable at this time how the
outcome of this action will impact the remaining cash reserves of the
Registrant.

Operations

<PAGE>
Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

Balcor Realty Investors 84 - Series II, A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") sold six properties during 1996 and its remaining two properties
during 1997. The Partnership recognized significant gains in 1996 and 1997 in
connection with the property sales. During 1998, administrative expenses were
higher than interest income earned on short-term investments. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a net loss for 1998 as compared to net income in 1997.
Primarily as a result of larger gains from the property sales in 1996 as
compared to 1997, net income decreased during 1997 as compared to 1996. Further
discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1998 Compared to 1997
- ---------------------

The Partnership sold the Spring Creek and Park Colony apartment complexes
during June 1997 and recognized gains totaling $12,350,293 in connection with
these sales. As a result of these sales, rental and service income, interest
expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization, property
operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees ceased
during 1997. 

The Partnership had higher average cash balances in 1997 resulting from the
investment of the available proceeds from the 1997 property sales prior to
distribution to Limited Partners in January 1998. As a result, interest income
on short-term investments decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997.

The Partnership recognized other income during 1997 primarily in connection
with a partial refund of prior years' insurance premiums relating to the
Partnership's properties.

Administrative expenses decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997 primarily due
to a decrease in accounting, portfolio management and bank fees, which were
partially offset by accrued legal fees in connection with the litigation
discussed in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings".

In connection with the sales of the Spring Creek and Park Colony apartment
complexes in 1997, the Partnership paid $752,818 in prepayment penalties and
wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses of $169,108.  These
amounts were recorded as extraordinary items and classified as debt
extinguishment expense for financial statement purposes.

1997 Compared to 1996
- ---------------------

In 1996 the Partnership sold the La Contenta, Meadow Creek, Ridgetree - Phase
II, Rosehill Pointe, Seabrook and Westwood Village apartment complexes and
recognized gains in connection with these sales totaling $27,237,296. The sales
of these properties resulted in decreases in rental and service income,
interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization,
property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees
during 1997 as compared to 1996.
<PAGE>
Due to higher average cash balances resulting from the investment of a portion
of the net proceeds received by the Partnership from the 1997 sales of the
Spring Creek and Park Colony apartment complexes prior to distribution to
Limited Partners in October 1997, interest income on short-term investments
increased during 1997 as compared to 1996.

Due to the repayment in full of the short-term loan from an affiliate during 
June 1996 with proceeds from the sales of the Seabrook, La Contenta and Meadow
Creek apartment complexes, interest expense on short-term loans from an
affiliate ceased during 1996. 

In connection with the 1996 sale of Meadow Creek Apartments, the Partnership
paid $176,685 in April 1997 for a state income tax liability related to the
gain on sale, which was recorded as other expense in 1997 for financial
statement purposes.

The Partnership incurred higher professional fees during 1996 in connection
with the valuation of the Partnership's assets. In addition, accounting and
portfolio management fees decreased during 1997 due to the sale of the
Partnership's properties. As a result, administrative expenses decreased during
1997 as compared to 1996.  

Due to the sales of the Rosehill Pointe and Seabrook apartment complexes in
1996, affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures, which included
the affiliates' share of the gains on the sales of these properties, ceased
during 1996. 

As a result of the sale of the Westwood Village Apartments, the Partnership
recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of $182,585 during
1996.

In connection with the sales of the La Contenta and Meadow Creek apartment
complexes during 1996, the Partnership paid $171,661 in prepayment penalties.
In addition, in connection with the sales of the La Contenta, Meadow Creek,
Ridgetree-Phase II, Rosehill Pointe and Westwood Village apartment complexes
during 1996, the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred
expenses of $232,868, the total of which includes $20,945 representing the
Rosehill Pointe Apartments affiliate's share. These amounts were recorded as
extraordinary items and classified as debt extinguishment expense for financial
statement purposes.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $892,000 as of
December 31, 1998 when compared to December 31, 1997 primarily due to the
payment of a distribution to Limited Partners in January 1998 of remaining
available Net Cash Proceeds. The Partnership used cash of approximately $88,000
to fund its operating activities, which consisted of the payment of
administrative expenses which were partially offset by the receipt of interest
<PAGE>
income earned on short-term investments. The Partnership used cash to fund its
financing activities which consisted of a distribution to Limited Partners of
approximately $804,000.

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. The Partnership sold its final real estate investment in June
1997. 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 "Item 3.
Legal Proceedings".  Due to this litigation, the Partnership will not be
dissolved and reserves will be held by the Partnership until the conclusion of
all contingencies. There can be no assurances as to the time frame for the
conclusion of these contingencies.

The Partnership made distributions from Net Cash Proceeds in 1998, 1997 and
1996 totaling $9.24, $63.00 and $58.00 per Interest, respectively. See
Statements of Partners' Capital for additional information. Limited Partners 
have received cumulative distributions of Net Cash Proceeds totaling $130.24 per
$1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. 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. Investors will not recover a substantial portion of their original
investment.

The Partnership sold all of its remaining real property investments and
distributed a majority of the proceeds from these sales to Limited Partners in
1996 and 1997. Since the Partnership no longer has any operating assets, the
number of computer systems and programs necessary to operate the Partnership
has been significantly reduced. The Partnership relies on third party vendors
to perform most of its functions and has implemented a plan to determine the
Year 2000 compliance status of these key vendors. The Partnership is within its
timeline for having these plans completed prior to the year 2000.

The Partnership's plan to determine the Year 2000 compliance status of its key
vendors involves the solicitation of information from these vendors through the
use of surveys, follow-up discussions and review of data where needed. The
Partnership has sent out surveys to these vendors and received back a majority
of these surveys. While the Partnership cannot guarantee Year 2000 compliance
by its key vendors, and in many cases will be relying on statements from these
vendors without independent verification, preliminary surveys indicate that the
key vendors performing services for the Partnership are aware of the issues and
are working on a solution to achieve compliance before the year 2000. The
Partnership is in the process of developing a contingency plan in the event any
of its key vendors are not Year 2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. As part
of its contingency plan, the Partnership will identify replacement vendors in
the event that current vendors are not substantially Year 2000 compliant by
<PAGE>
June 30, 1999. The Partnership does not believe that failure by any of its key
vendors to be Year 2000 compliant by the year 2000 would have a material effect
on the business, financial position or results of operations of the
Partnership.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
Balcor Realty Investors 84-Series II, A Real Estate Limited Partnership

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
partners' capital, of income and expenses and of cash flows present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Realty Investors 
84-Series II, A Real Estate Limited Partnership (A Maryland Limited 
Partnership, "the Partnership") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the 
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in 
the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of 
the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of 
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the partnership agreement
provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon the disposition of all its
real estate interests.  As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership no longer has
an ownership interest in any real estate investment.  Upon resolution of the
litigation described in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Partnership
intends to cease operations and dissolve.

                     BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 84-SERIES II,
                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (A Maryland Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:

Balcor Realty Investors 84-Series II, A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") has retained cash reserves from the sale of its real estate
investments for contingencies which exist or may arise. The Partnership's
operations currently consist of interest income earned on short-term
investments and the payment of administrative expenses.

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. The Partnership sold its final real estate investment in June
1997. 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 14 of
Notes to the Financial Statements. Due to this litigation, the Partnership will
not be dissolved and reserves will be held by the Partnership until the
conclusion of all contingencies. There can be no assurances as to the time
frame for conclusion of these contingencies.

3. Accounting Policies:

(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

(b) Depreciation expense was computed using the straight-line and accelerated
methods. Rates used in the determination of depreciation were based upon the
following estimated useful lives:

               Buildings and land improvements     30 years
               Furniture and fixtures              5 years

Maintenance and repairs were charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for
improvements were charged to the related asset account.
<PAGE>
As properties were sold, the related costs and accumulated depreciation were
removed from the respective accounts. Any gain or loss on disposition was
recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) The Partnership recorded its investments in real estate at the lower of
cost or fair value, and periodically assessed, but not less than on an annual
basis, possible impairment to the value of its properties. The General Partner
estimated the fair value of its properties based on the current sales price
less estimated closing costs. The General Partner determined that no impairment
in value had occurred prior to the sales of the properties. The General Partner
considered the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement
of a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value
indicated otherwise.

(d) Deferred expenses consisted of loan modification and financing fees which
were amortized over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Upon sale, any
remaining unamortized balance was recognized as debt extinguishment expense and
classified as an extraordinary item.

(e) The Partnership calculates the fair value of its financial instruments
based on estimates using present value techniques. The Partnership includes
this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the
fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.
When the fair value reasonably approximates the carrying value, no additional
disclosure is made.

(f) For financial statement purposes, prior to 1997, the partners were
allocated income and loss in accordance with the provisions in the Partnership
Agreement. In order for the capital account balances to more accurately
reflect the partners' remaining economic interests in the Partnership, the
income (loss) allocations have been adjusted. 

(g) Cash and cash equivalents include all unrestricted, highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash is held or
invested primarily in one financial institution.

(h) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax
return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial
statements of the Partnership.

(i) Revenue was recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

(j) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
was adopted by the Partnership effective for the year-ended December 31, 1997
and has been applied to the prior earnings period presented in the financial
statements. Since the Partnership has no dilutive securities, there is no
difference between basic and diluted net income (loss) per Limited Partnership
Interest.
<PAGE>
(k) Certain reclassifications of prior years information were made to conform
to the 1998 presentation.

4. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized in February 1983. The Partnership Agreement
provides for Balcor Partners-84 II, Inc. to be the General Partner and for the
admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 110,000 Limited
Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 87,037 of which were sold on or
prior to September 28, 1984, the termination date of the offering.

The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner will be allocated
1% of the profits and losses and the Limited Partners will be allocated 99% of
the profits and losses. For financial statement purposes, prior to 1997, the
partners were allocated income and loss in accordance with the provisions in
the Partnership Agreement. In order for the capital account balances to more
accurately reflect the partners' remaining economic interests in the
Partnership, the income (loss) allocations have been adjusted. 

One hundred percent of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution was to be
distributed to the holders of Interests in proportion to their participating
percentages as of the record date for such distributions. To date, Net Cash
Receipts have not been distributed to holders of Interests. Under certain
circumstances, the General Partner would have participated in the Net Cash
Proceeds of the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. The General
Partner's participation was limited to 15% of Net Cash Proceeds and was
subordinated to the return of Original Capital plus any deficiency in a
Cumulative Distribution of 6% on Adjusted Original Capital to the holders of
Interests. Since the required subordination levels were not met, the General
Partner has not received any distributions of Net Cash Receipts or Net Cash

taxable loss for the same period.

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
