                      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 June 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
- - ---------------------

Interest income and equity in income or loss from investment in acquisition
loan ceased as a result of the October 1993 repayment of the Davidson
Officenter acquisition loan. Additional rental income related to early lease
terminations and an increase in interest income on short-term investments
significantly offset this cessation of interest income, resulting in a slight
decrease in net income during the six months ended June 30, 1994 when compared
to the same period in 1993. Since the additional income related to early lease
terminations was received during the second quarter of 1994, net income
increased during the quarter ended June 30, 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 received additional income during the second quarter of 1994
from several tenants at the 100 Ashford Center North and Westech 360 office
buildings due to early lease terminations. This additional income resulted in
an increase in rental income during the six months and quarter ended June 30,
1994 when compared to the same periods in 1993. In addition, a decrease in
rental income due to lower average occupancy at the 100 Ashford Center North
Office Building was offset by an increase in rental income due to higher
average occupancy at the Denver Centerpoint and the Ammendale Technology Park -
Phase I office buildings.

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. These
adjustments have resulted in a decrease in service income during the six months
ended June 30, 1994 and an increase in service income during the quarter ended
June 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods in 1993. In addition, a tenant
at the Denver Centerpoint Office Building reimbursed the Partnership in the
first quarter of 1993 for improvement costs paid by the Partnership in excess
of the stipulated amount per the lease agreement. This reimbursement
contributed to the decrease in service income during the six months ended June
30, 1994.

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 six months and quarter ended June 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 six
months and quarter ended June 30, 1994 when compared to the same periods in
1993.

Interest income and equity in income or loss from investment in acquisition
loan ceased as a result of the October 1993 repayment of the Davidson
Officenter acquisition loan. Equity in income or 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 six months
and quarter ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods 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 leasing and utility costs at this property in the
first half of 1994, a slight loss was generated, resulting in participation in
loss of joint venture with an affiliate during the six months ended June 30,
1994 as compared to participation in income during the same period in 1993.

Higher leasing costs and contracted services at the Ammendale Technology Park -
Phase I, 100 Ashford Center North, 1275 K Street and Westech 360 office
buildings resulted in an increase in property operating expense during the six
months and quarter ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 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 the additional income received at the
Westech 360 Office Building due to early lease terminations, the affiliates'
income participation increased during the six months and quarter ended June 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 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 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 six months ended June 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 July 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
second 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the General Partner, on behalf of
the Partnership, used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 1,079
Interests from Limited Partners at a total cost of $114,749.

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.
