                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of HCW Pension Real
Estate Fund Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 310(b) of
Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  The General Partner of the Partnership is HCW General
Partners Ltd., whose sole general partner is IH, Inc. (the "Managing General
Partner").  In the opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.  For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1997.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 information to conform to
the 1998 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
partnership activities. The Managing General Partner is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Insignia Properties Trust ("IPT"), an affiliate of Insignia
Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia").  The Partnership paid property management
fees for property management services as noted below for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The Partnership Agreement ("Agreement")
provides that the Managing General Partner and its affiliates be paid asset
management fees based on "tangible asset value" as defined in the Agreement.
The Agreement also provides for reimbursement to the Managing General Partner
and its affiliates for costs incurred in connection with the administration of
Partnership activities.  The Managing General Partner and its affiliates
received reimbursements and fees as reflected in the following table:


                                                      Six Months Ended
                                                          June 30,
                                                     1998           1997
                                                       (in thousands)
 
Property management fees (included in
  operating expense)                                 $ 79          $ 82
Asset management fees (included in general
   and administrative expense)                         67            68
Reimbursement for services of affiliates
  (included in operating, general and
  administrative and investment properties) (1)        44            51

(1)  Included in "reimbursements for services of affiliates" for the six months
     ended June 30, 1998, is approximately $3,000 in reimbursements for
     construction oversight costs.

For the period January 1, 1997 to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured its
properties under a master policy through an agency affiliated with the Managing
General Partner with an insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General Partner.
An affiliate of the Managing General Partner acquired, in the acquisition of a
business, certain financial obligations from an insurance agency which was later
acquired by the agent who placed the master policy.  The agent assumed the
financial obligations to the affiliate of the Managing General Partner, which
receives payments on these obligations from the agent.  The amount of the
Partnership's insurance premiums accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the
General Partner by virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

On March 17, 1998, Insignia entered into an agreement to merge its national
residential property management operations, and its controlling interest in IPT
with Apartment Investment and Management Company ("AIMCO"), a publicly traded
real estate investment trust.  The closing, which is anticipated to happen in
September or October of 1998, is subject to customary conditions, including
government approvals and the approval of Insignia's shareholders.  If the
closing occurs, AIMCO will then control both the General Partner and the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership.

NOTE C - CASUALTY

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership recorded a casualty loss
resulting from a storm that damaged the roofs at Lewis Park Apartments during
1997. The damage resulted in a loss of approximately $22,000 arising from the
write-off of the basis of the property which was replaced.


ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The Partnership's investment properties consist of one apartment complex and one
office building.  The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the
properties for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997:



                                            Average
                                           Occupancy
Property                                1998       1997

Lewis Park Apartments
 Carbondale, Illinois                    82%       80%

Highland Professional Tower
 Kansas City, Missouri                   66%       76%

The Managing General Partner attributes the decrease in occupancy at Highland
Professional Tower throughout 1997 to the loss of a major tenant during the
fourth quarter of 1997 and to deferred maintenance that needed to be performed
at the property.  The Managing General Partner renovated and repaired Highland
Professional Tower's common areas during the year ending December 31, 1997 in an
effort to attract additional tenants.  Although all renovations were
substantially complete at the beginning of 1998, the property has not seen any
resulting increase in its tenant base as of June 30, 1998.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was
approximately $46,000 versus approximately $59,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The Partnership's net (loss) income for the six months ended June
30, 1998, was approximately ($42,000) versus approximately $118,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease in net income for the six month period
is primarily attributable to a decrease in rental income, and increases in
operating and depreciation expense and the casualty loss recognized in 1998.
Rental income decreased due to the decrease in occupancy at Highland
Professional Tower as discussed above.  Operating expenses increased due to an
increase in maintenance expense as a result of parking lot repairs and heating
and air conditioning repairs at Highland Professional Tower and gutter repairs
at Lewis Park. Depreciation expense increased due to fixed asset additions
related to the renovation project at Highland Professional Park as discussed
above.  The casualty loss resulted from a storm that damaged the roofs at Lewis
Park Apartments during 1997. The damage resulted in a loss arising from the
write-off of the basis of the property which was replaced during 1998.

The decrease in net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 is
primarily attributable to an increase in rental income.  Rental income increased
due to rental rate increases at Lewis Park Apartments.  The increase in rental
income was partially offset by the casualty loss as described above.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment property to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses.  As part of
this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from
the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due to changing market
conditions which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

Included in operating expense at June 30, 1998 is approximately $91,000 of major
repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of parking lot repairs at Highland
Professional Tower and gutter repairs at Lewis Park.  Included in operating
expense at June 30, 1997 is approximately $8,000 of major repairs and
maintenance comprised primarily of major landscaping and construction services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$1,138,000 compared to approximately $1,402,000 at June 30, 1997.  The net
(decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 is ($201,000) and $10,000, respectively.  Net cash provided by
operating activities decreased due to the decrease in net income as discussed
above and an increase in receivables and deposits as a result of an increase in
required tax escrow accounts. Net cash used in investing activities decreased
due to a decrease in property improvements and replacements in 1998 as compared
to 1997 as a result of the renovation project at Highlands Professional Tower.
Net cash used in financing activities increased due to the payment in January
1998 of distributions to partners declared and accrued December 1997.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The Partnership
paid accrued cash distributions of $6,000 to the General Partner and $294,000 to
the limited partners during the six months ended June 30, 1998.  No cash
distributions were made during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Future cash
distributions will depend on the levels of net cash generated from operations,
capital expenditure requirements, property sales, financing, and the
availability of cash reserves.

Year 2000

The Partnership is dependent upon the Managing General Partner and Insignia for
management and administrative services.  Insignia has completed an assessment
and will have to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter (the "Year 2000 Issue").  The project is estimated to be completed
not later than December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on
its operating systems.  The Managing General Partner believes that with
modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year
2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer
systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Partnership.
