                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Equity Pension Investors-II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1984 to make first mortgage
loans and to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The
Partnership raised $234,896,750 through the sale of Limited Partnership
Interests and utilized these proceeds to fund seven loans and acquire five real
property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional
real property. From 1987 through 1993, the Partnership acquired three
properties through foreclosure on the loans and accepted prepayments on three
additional loans. As of March 31, 1994, the Partnership has one loan
outstanding and operates eight properties and its minority joint venture
interest.

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

The Ammendale Technology Park - Phase I and 100 Ashford Center North and
Westech 360 office buildings experienced declines in property operations during
the first quarter of 1994. Also, interest income and equity in loss from
investment in acquisition loan ceased as a result of the October 1993 repayment
of the Davidson Officenter acquisition loan. These events caused a decrease in
net income during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 when compared to the same
period in 1993. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

1994 Compared to 1993

The Partnership bills most tenants at the commercial properties periodically
for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses of
the properties based on estimates. Adjustments are periodically made to these
billings once the Partnership has determined the actual amounts due. Since the
Partnership receives reimbursements based upon the tenants' pro rata share of
rentable space, a decrease in occupancy at the 100 Ashford Center North Office
Building has caused a decrease in the total amount billable for these items. In
addition, a tenant at the Denver Centerpoint Office Building reimbursed the
Partnership in 1993 for improvement costs paid by the Partnership in excess of
the stipulated amount per the lease agreement. The combined effect of these
events has resulted in a decrease in service income during the quarter ended
March 31, 1994 when compared to the same period in 1993.

The proceeds received from the October 1993 repayment of the Davidson
Officenter acquisition loan and improved operations during 1993 at the
Partnership's properties resulted in an increase in funds available for short-
term investments. As a result, interest income on short-term investments
increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 when compared to the same
period in 1993. 

In February and August 1993, the loan collateralized by the Colonial Coach and
Castlewood West mobile home parks was modified, reducing the interest rate.
This caused a decrease in interest income on loan receivable during the quarter
ended March 31, 1994 when compared to the same period in 1993.

Interest income and equity in loss from investment in acquisition loan ceased
as a result of the October 1993 repayment of the Davidson Officenter
acquisition loan. Equity in loss represented the Partnership's share of
property operations and had no effect on the cash flow of the Partnership.
Mortgage servicing fees  decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 as
compared to the same period in 1993 due to this repayment.

Participation in loss/income of joint venture with an affiliate reflects the
Partnership's share of property operations at the Pacific Center Office
Buildings. Due to higher tenant and utility costs at this property in the first
quarter of 1994, a loss was generated, resulting in participation in loss of
joint venture with an affiliate during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 as
compared to participation in income during the same period in 1993.

Higher tenant costs and contracted services at the Ammendale Technology Park -
Phase I, and 1275 K Street and Westech 360 office buildings resulted in an
increase in property operating expense during the quarter ended March 31, 1994
when compared to the same period in 1993.

A refund of 1992 taxes was received in 1994 from the local taxing authority for
the 1275 K Street Office Building due to a further decrease in the assessed
value of this property. This refund caused a decrease in real estate tax
expense during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 as compared to the same period
in 1993.

The Westech 360 and 1275 K Street office buildings are owned through joint
ventures with affiliates. As a result of increased tenant costs and contracted
services at both properties, the affiliates' income participation decreased
during the quarter ended March 31, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.
The real estate tax refund received at the 1275 K Street Office Building
partially offset this decrease.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash flow provided by the Partnership's operating activities includes cash
flow from the operations of the properties, mortgage payments received on the
loan and short-term interest income. Cash received from these sources was
partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. The net cash flow
provided by operating activities was partially used in financing activities to
make quarterly distributions to the Partners and to the affiliated joint
venture partners. The Partnership is retaining substantial cash reserves in
anticipation of future leasing costs at several of the Partnership's commercial
properties. The Partnership's cash or near cash position fluctuates during each
quarter, initially decreasing with the payment of the Partnership distributions
for the previous quarter, and then gradually increasing each month as mortgage
payments on loans and cash flow from property operations are received.

During the quarters ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, all of the Partnership's
properties, except the Pacific Center Office Buildings (minority joint
venture), generated positive cash flow. The Pacific Center Office Buildings,
which generated positive cash flow during the quarter ended March 31, 1993,
generated a marginal cash flow deficit for the same period in 1994 due to an
increase in tenant and utility costs. Many rental markets continue to remain
extremely competitive; therefore, the General Partner's goals are to maintain
high occupancy levels while increasing rents where possible and to monitor and
control operating expenses and capital improvement requirements at the
properties.

Distributions to Limited Partners can be expected to fluctuate for various
reasons. Generally, distributions are made from cash flow generated by interest
payments and property operations. Distribution levels can also vary as loans
are placed on non-accrual status, modified or restructured and, as a result of
property operations. 

In April 1994, the Partnership paid $1,577,085 ($1.30 per Taxable Interest and
$1.73 per Tax-exempt Interest) representing the quarterly distribution for the
first quarter of 1994. The level of this distribution was consistent with the
amount distributed to Limited Partners for the previous quarter. The General
Partner expects that the cash flow from property operations and debt service
payments on the mortgage loan should enable the Partnership to continue making
quarterly distributions to Limited Partners. However, the level of future
distributions will be dependent on the amount of cash flow generated from
property operations and the receipts from the mortgage loan, as to which there
can be no assurances.

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.
