                      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 September 30, 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
- ---------------------

During the third quarter of 1993, the Partnership recognized a provision for
investment property writedown related to the 100 Ashford Center North Office
Building, which resulted in a net loss during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1993 as compared to net income during the same periods in 1994.
Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1994 Compared to 1993
- ---------------------

Higher average occupancy and/or increased rental rates in 1994 at the Denver
Centerpoint, Ammendale Technology Park - Phase I and Ross Plaza office
buildings were offset by a decrease in average occupancy during the second and
third quarters of 1994 at the 1275 K Street, 100 Ashford Center North, Westech
360 and Bingham Farms - Phase V office buildings. These events resulted in an
increase in rental income during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and a
decrease in rental income during the quarter ended September 30, 1994 when
compared to the same periods in 1993.

The Partnership bills most tenants at its commercial properties periodically
for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses of
the properties. Since the Partnership receives reimbursements based upon the
tenants' pro rata share of rentable space, the above referenced decreases in
average occupancy caused a decrease in the total amount billable for these
items. In addition, the billings are based on estimates, and adjustments are
periodically made once the Partnership has determined the actual amounts due.
The periodic adjustment of billings, combined with the decrease in the total
amount billable, have resulted in a decrease in service income during the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods
in 1993. 

The proceeds received from the October 1993 repayment of the Davidson
Officenter acquisition loan resulted in an increase in funds available for
short-term investments. As a result, interest income on short-term investments
increased during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 when
compared to the same periods 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 nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods
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 nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993 due to this
repayment.

Higher leasing costs at the 100 Ashford Center North, 1275 K Street and Westech
360 office buildings and painting costs and floor and wall covering upgrades at
the Spaulding Bridge Apartments resulted in an increase in property operating
expense during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 when
compared to the same periods in 1993.

A refund of 1992 taxes was received in the first quarter of 1994 from the local
taxing authority for the 1275 K Street Office Building due to a decrease in the
assessed tax value of this property. This refund caused a decrease in real
estate tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared
to the same period in 1993.

The Partnership recognized a provision for investment property writedown
related to the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building in September 1993 as a
result of an impairment to the asset value of this property.

During the first nine months of 1993, the Partnership incurred significant
legal fees related to the Davidson Officenter litigation. As a result,
administrative expense decreased during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods in 1993.

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 leasing and utility costs at this property during
1994, a slight loss was generated, resulting in participation in loss of joint
venture with an affiliate during the nine months and quarter ended September
30, 1994 as compared to participation in income during the same periods in
1993.

The Westech 360 and 1275 K Street office buildings are owned through joint
ventures with affiliates. As a result of decreased average occupancy and
increased leasing costs at both properties, the affiliates' income
participation decreased during the nine months and quarter ended September 30,
1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993. 


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 interest income on short-term investments. 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 investing
activities for capital improvements and leasing commissions at certain of the
Partnership's properties and in financing activities to make quarterly
distributions to the Partners and to the affiliated joint venture partners. The
Partnership is retaining 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 the loan and cash flow
from property operations are received.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, all of the
Partnership's properties, including the Pacific Center Office Buildings (in
which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest), generated
positive cash flow. 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 October 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 third quarter of 1994. The level of this distribution was consistent with
the amount distributed to Limited Partners for the previous quarter. In
addition, during October 1994, the Partnership paid $131,424 to the General
Partner, representing its quarterly distribution for the third quarter of 1994
and made a contribution of $43,808 to the Repurchase Fund. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the General Partner, on behalf
of the Partnership, used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase
1,638 Interests from Limited Partners at a total cost of $188,744.

On November 4, 1994, The Balcor Company completed the sale of the assets of
Allegiance Realty Group, Inc. to an unaffiliated company, Insignia Allegiance
Management, Inc. ("Insignia"), which is based in Greenville, South Carolina. As
a result of this transaction, Insignia has assumed the management of the
Partnership's properties. This transaction is not expected to result in any
material change to the property management fees paid by the Partnership.

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.
