                                     PART I

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

Balcor Equity Pension Investors-II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1984 under the laws of the
State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $234,896,750 from sales of Limited
Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of
making first mortgage loans and investing in and operating income-producing
real property, and all financial information included in this report relates to
this industry segment.

The Registrant originally funded seven loans and acquired five real property
investments plus a minority joint venture interest in an additional real
property investment. Three loans were prepaid and the Registrant foreclosed on
three loans. The Registrant currently owns eight properties plus a minority
joint venture interest in one property as described under Item 2. "Properties,"
below, and has one loan outstanding.

The Partnership Agreement generally provides that the proceeds of any sale,
refinancing or other disposition of properties will not be reinvested, but will
be distributed to the Limited Partners to the extent not required to meet the
Registrant's cash requirements. The Partnership Agreement also provides that
proceeds from the repayment of mortgage loans (including any sale proceeds of
properties acquired through foreclosure) within 14 years of the termination of
the offering may be used to make new mortgage loans. Any such new mortgage loan
would generally provide for repayment in full within 15 years after the
termination of the offering. The General Partner currently has no plans to make
any such new mortgage loans on behalf of the Registrant.

The commercial real estate industry is beginning to emerge from several years
of decline and re-structuring. Office properties have begun to emerge from the
effects of overbuilding and corporate downsizing. Effective rents and occupancy
levels began to increase nationally in 1994 and some markets are experiencing a
shortage of large blocks of contiguous space. With new construction expected to
remain at a minimum for 1995, office market conditions are expected to continue
their upward performance for the next year. However, some 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. As discussed in Item 7. Liquidity and Capital
Resources, all of the Registrant's properties, including the minority joint
venture interest, generated positive cash flow during 1994.

The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate, is subject to
federal and state laws and regulations covering various environmental issues.
Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants
to assess a wide range of environmental issues and to conduct tests for
environmental contamination as appropriate.  The General Partner is not aware
of any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would
be material to the Registrant.

The officers and employees of Balcor Equity Partners-II, 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 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Summary of Operations
- ---------------------

During 1993 and 1992, Balcor Equity Pension Investors - II (the "Partnership")
recognized provisions for writedowns on several of its commercial properties
and loans due to impairments to the values of the assets. The Partnership
recognized net income in 1994 compared to the net losses in 1993 and 1992 which
resulted from the provisions. Further discussion of the Partnership's
operations is summarized below.

Operations
- ----------

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

A decrease in rental revenue during 1994 due to lower average occupancy at the
1275 K Street, 100 Ashford Center North and Bingham Farms - Phase V office
buildings was partially offset by higher average occupancy and/or increased
rental rates at the Denver Centerpoint Office Building and Ross Plaza Shopping
Center. In addition, the Partnership received additional income in 1993 from
tenants at the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building due to early lease
terminations. The combined effect of these events resulted in a decrease in
rental income during 1994 when compared to 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 these reimbursements based upon
the tenants' pro rata share of rentable space, the above-referenced overall
decrease in average occupancy caused a decrease in the total amount billable
for these items. Also, the terms of several new leases have lowered the amount
of reimbursements billed to tenants. 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 1994 when compared to 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 1994 when compared to 1993. 

In 1993, the Colonial Coach and Castlewood West loan was modified resulting in
a reduction of the interest rate. This caused a decrease in interest income on
loan receivable during 1994 when compared to 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 also decreased during 1994 when compared to 1993 due to
this repayment.

During 1993, capitalized leasing commissions related to the Bingham Farms -
Phase V and Westech 360 office buildings became fully amortized. Also, mortgage
brokerage fees related to the Davidson Officenter loan were fully amortized due
to the October 1993 repayment of the loan. As a result, amortization expense
decreased during 1994 when compared to 1993.

Higher leasing commission expenses at the 100 Ashford Center North, Ammendale
Technology Park - Phase I and Westech 360 office buildings and higher insurance
<PAGE>
costs at all of the Partnership's properties resulted in an increase in
property operating expense during 1994 when compared to 1993.

Increased leasing activity at the 100 Ashford Center North, Bingham Farms -
Phase V and Westech 360 office buildings and higher painting costs and floor
and wall covering upgrades at the Spalding Bridge Apartments resulted in an
increase in maintenance and repairs expense during 1994 when compared to 1993.
This was partially offset by a decrease in leasing activity at the 1275 K
Street Office Building.

A refund of 1992 taxes was received in 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 1994 when compared to 1993.

Lower consulting fees and data processing costs resulted in a decrease in
administrative expense during 1994 when compared to 1993. These decreases were
partially offset by higher accounting and portfolio management fees.

In 1993, the Partnership determined that impairments had occurred to the asset
values of the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building and the Ammendale
Technology Park - Phase I. These properties were written down by $7,510,000 and
$2,300,000, respectively.

In 1993, the Partnership wrote down the Colonial Coach and Castlewood West loan
receivable. The Partnership's share of the joint ventures $2,100,000 provision
for loan receivable writedown was $1,850,000.

The Westech 360 and 1275 K Street office buildings are owned through joint
ventures with affiliates. As a result of decreased average occupancy at the
1275 K Street Office Building and increased expenses relating to leasing
activity at the Westech 360 Office Building, the affiliates' income
participation decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993. 

1993 Compared to 1992
- ---------------------

Successful leasing efforts undertaken in 1992 resulted in higher occupancy
and/or increased rental rates at all of the Partnership's properties during
1993. In addition, the Partnership received additional income from tenants at
the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building due to early lease terminations.
These events resulted in an increase in rental income and property management
fees during 1993 when compared to 1992.

Adjustments to previous billings and an increase in occupancy during 1993 at
several of the commercial properties caused an increase in the total amount
billable for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other operating
expenses, resulting in an increase in service income during 1993 when compared
to 1992.

In October 1993, the Partnership received a discounted prepayment of the
Davidson Officenter acquisition loan. As a result, interest income from
investment in acquisition loan, as well as mortgage servicing fees, decreased
during 1993 when compared to 1992. Also, the Partnership had recognized a
provision for acquisition loan writedown of approximately $8,000,000 on this
loan in 1992.

The Partnership recognized a provision for investment property writedown
related to the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building in 1993 as a result of
an impairment to the asset value of this property. In addition, during 1992,
the Partnership wrote down the Denver Centerpoint, Bingham Farms - Phase V and
1275 K Street investments due to impairments to the asset values of the
respective properties. The combination of these writedowns resulted in a
decrease in depreciation expense during 1993 when compared to 1992. 

As a result of increased leasing activity at the 1275 K Street and 100 Ashford
<PAGE>
Center North office buildings, maintenance and repairs increased during 1993
when compared to 1992.

A further reduction in the assessed value of the 1275 K Street Office Building
resulted in a decrease in real estate tax expense during 1993 when compared to
1992.

During 1993, the Partnership incurred significant legal fees related to the
Davidson Officenter litigation. This resulted in an increase in administrative
expense during 1993 when compared to 1992.

Participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate reflects the
Partnership's share of property operations at the Pacific Center Office
Buildings. The Partnership recognized its $1,400,000 share of this property's
$6,100,000 provision for investment property writedown during 1992.
Additionally, higher average occupancy levels during 1993 resulted in improved
operations at this property. These events caused a significant decrease in the
participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate during 1993 when
compared to 1992.

In 1992, the Partnership determined that impairments had occurred to the asset
values of the 1275 K Street, Denver Centerpoint and Bingham Farms - Phase V
office buildings. The 1275 K Street Office Building is owned by a joint venture
with an affiliated partnership. This property was written down by $3,900,000,
and the Partnership's share of this writedown was $2,360,000. The Denver
Centerpoint and Bingham Farms - Phase V office buildings were written down by
$3,200,000 and $5,200,000, respectively.

The Westech 360 and 1275 K Street office buildings are owned through joint
ventures with affiliates. During 1992, the affiliate which owns a share of the
1275 K Street Office Building recognized its $1,540,000 share of the $3,900,000
provision for investment property writedown relating to this property. As a
result of this event in 1992 and improved operations at both properties in
1993, the affiliates' participated in income during 1993 as compared to a loss
in 1992.

Equity in loss from investment in acquisition loan represented the
Partnership's share of property operations at the Davidson Officenter, the
collateral property of the loan. The Partnership's share of operations had no
effect on the cash flow of the Partnership.

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, which were partially offset
by the payment of administrative expenses. Investing activities consisted
primarily of improvements and leasing commissions at certain of the
Partnership's properties. Financing activities consisted of 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.

During 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. The Partnership defines
cash flow generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's
revenue receipts less property related expenditures. As of December 31, 1994,
occupancy rates of the Partnership's commercial properties ranged from 95% to
100%, except for the Bingham Farms - Phase V Office Building which was 72%
occupied. The low occupancy at Bingham Farms - Phase V Office Building is a
result of the relocation  of a major tenant during the third quarter of 1994.
The Partnership is currently working to re-lease this space. The occupancy rate
of Spalding Bridge Apartments was 94%.  Many rental markets continue to remain
extremely competitive; therefore, the General Partner's goals are to maintain
<PAGE>
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 January 1995, the Partnership paid $1,577,085 ($1.30 per Taxable Interest
and $1.73 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners representing the
quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 1994.  In addition, during
January 1995, the Partnership paid $131,424 to the General Partner,
representing its quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 1994 and made
a contribution of $43,808 to the Repurchase Fund. During 1994, the Partnership
made distributions to Limited Partners totaling $5.20 per Taxable Interest and
$6.92 per Tax-exempt Interest as compared to $5.35 and $7.12 in 1993 and $5.80
and $7.72 in 1992, respectively. See Financial Statements, Statements of
Partners' Capital. To date, including the January 1995 distribution, Limited
Partners have received distributions aggregating approximately $100 per $250
Taxable Interest, of which $74 represents Net Cash Receipts and $26 represents
Net Cash Proceeds, and $124 per $250 Tax-exempt Interest, of which $98
represents Net Cash Receipts and $26 represents Net Cash Proceeds. The General
Partner expects that the cash flow from property operations and debt service
payments on the funded 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 1994, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, used amounts
placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 2,343 Interests from Limited
Partners at a cost of $277,845. See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.

The General Partner has recently completed the outsourcing of the financial
reporting and accounting services, transfer agent and investor records
services, and computer operations and systems development functions that
provided services to the Partnership. All of these functions are now being
provided by independent third parties. Additionally, Allegiance Realty Group,
Inc., which has provided property management services to all of the
Partnership's properties, was sold to a third party. Each of these transactions
occurred after extensive due diligence and competitive bidding processes. The
General Partner does not believe that the cost of providing these services to
the Partnership, in the aggregate, will be materially different to the
Partnership during 1995 when compared to 1994.

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.

To the Partners of
Balcor Equity Pension Investors-II
A Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule
of Balcor Equity Pension Investors-II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (An
Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed in the index of this Form 10-K. These
financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Balcor Equity Pension
Investors-II A Real Estate Limited Partnership at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policies:

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

                                                     Years
                                                     -----

               Buildings and improvements          20 to 35
               Furniture and fixtures                  5

Depreciation expense for tenant improvements is computed using a straight-line
method over the term of the lease. 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for
improvements are charged to the related asset account.

(b) Deferred expenses consist of mortgage brokerage fees which are amortized
over the average term of the loans, and leasing commissions which are amortized
over the term of each respective lease.

(c) Loan application and processing fees are amortized over the terms of the
loans.

(d) Income from operating leases with abatements and scheduled rent increases
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms.

(e) The income which represents reimbursements for operating costs such as
taxes, maintenance and insurance is recognized as revenue in the period the
applicable costs are incurred.

(f) Income on loans receivable is recorded as earned in accordance with the
terms of the related loan agreements. The accrual of interest is discontinued
when a loan becomes ninety days contractually delinquent or sooner when, in the
opinion of the General Partner, an impairment has occurred in the value of the
property collateralizing the loan. Income on nonaccrual loans or loans which
are otherwise not performing in accordance with their terms is recorded on a
cash basis.

(g) Investment in acquisition loan represented a first mortgage loan which had
certain participations in excess of 50% of the collateral property's cash flow
and sales price or appraised value at maturity over certain stated amounts.
Under generally accepted accounting principles this investment was required to
be accounted for as an investment in a real estate venture. As described in
Note 5, the Partnership received a discounted prepayment of this acquisition
loan in October 1993. The investment had been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under this method,
the Partnership classified its investment in loan receivable as an investment
in acquisition loan, at cost (representing total loan fundings) and
subsequently adjusted its investment for its share of collateral property
income or loss.

Amounts representing debt service were recorded in the accompanying statements
of income and expenses as interest income. Equity in income or loss from
investment in acquisition loan represented the Partnership's share of the
collateral property's operations, including depreciation and interest expense.
The Partnership's share of operations had no effect on the cash flow of the
Partnership.
<PAGE>
(h) The Partnership's investment objectives provide for investment in income
producing real property to be held for long-term appreciation. Consistent with
these objectives, properties acquired through foreclosure are recorded as
investments in real estate at the lower of fair value or cost at the date of
foreclosure. The Partnership makes periodic assessments concerning possible
permanent impairment to the value of all of its properties. In the event that
the Partnership determines that a permanent impairment in value has occurred,
the carrying basis of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value.

(i) Investment in joint venture with an affiliate represents the Partnership's
22.91% interest, under the equity method of accounting, in a joint venture with
an affiliated partnership. Under the equity method of accounting, the
Partnership records its initial investment at cost and adjusts its investment
account for additional capital contributions, distributions and its share of
joint venture income or loss.

(j) Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased.

(k) 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.

2. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized on May 29, 1984. The Partnership Agreement
provides for Balcor Equity Partners-II to be the General Partner and for the
admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 1,000,000 Limited
Partnership Interests at $250 per Interest, 939,587 of which were sold on or
prior to February 20, 1985, the termination date of the offering.

"Operating Income" of the Partnership is allocated 10% to the General Partner
and 90% to the Limited Partners; however, certain components are specially
allocated as described in the Partnership Agreement. "Operating Losses" and
certain other components are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Limited Partners.

The Partnership Agreement provides for different allocations of profits and
losses and cash distributions to Limited Partners depending on whether the
investor originally acquiring the Interest was a taxable or tax-exempt entity.

"Net Cash Receipts" available for distribution are distributed as follows: 90%
to Limited Partners, 7.5% to the General Partner as its distributive share from
Partnership operations and an additional 2.5% of such "Net Cash Receipts" are
paid to the General Partner for allocation to the Repurchase Fund which may be
utilized to repurchase Interests from Limited Partners.

At the sole discretion of the General Partner and subject to certain
limitations, amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund became available, beginning
October 15, 1987, to be used to repurchase Interests from Limited Partners.
During 1994, the General Partner used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to
repurchase 2,343 Interests from Limited Partners at a cost of $277,845.
Distributions of "Net Cash Receipts" and "Net Cash Proceeds" pertaining to such
repurchased Interests are paid to the Repurchase Fund and are available to
repurchase additional Interests.

An amount not to exceed the dollars originally allocated to the Repurchase Fund
will be returned by the Repurchase Fund to the Partnership at liquidation if
necessary to permit payment to the Limited Partners of their "Original Capital"
plus any deficiency in their "Liquidation Preference" as defined in the
Partnership Agreement.

When and as the Partnership sells or refinances its real properties, or obtains
repayments of its mortgage loans, the "Net Cash Proceeds" resulting therefrom
which are available for distribution will be distributed only to the Limited
<PAGE>
Partners until such time as they have received a return of their "Original
Capital" and their "Liquidation Preference"; thereafter, the remaining "Net
Cash Proceeds" will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the
General Partner. The General Partner's share shall be returned to the
Partnership if necessary to permit payment to the Limited Partners of any
deficiency in the return of their Original Capital and Preferential Cumulative
Distributions.

3. Investment in Loan Receivable:

The Partnership and an affiliated partnership (together, the "Participants")
funded a first mortgage loan collateralized by the Colonial Coach and
Castlewood West mobile home parks. The Partnership participates in
approximately 88% of the loan amount and interest income.

During 1993, the Participants determined that an impairment to the value of the
property had occurred. As a result, the Partnership wrote down the loan
receivable to its estimated fair value and recognized its $1,850,000 share of
the total $2,100,000 provision for loan receivable writedown. The carrying
value of the loan was $7,540,986 at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

The Participants and the borrower executed second and third modifications of
the loan terms during 1993. The second modification resulted in a decrease in
the contract rate of the loan from 10% per annum to 8% per annum commencing
March 1993 through February 1995. Thereafter, through maturity in January 1997,
the contract rate of the loan was to be 11% per annum. The third modification
resulted in a change in the contract rate to 9% per annum with a 7% pay rate
per annum, effective with the September 1993 payment through an extended
maturity date in July 1998. The difference between the 9% contract rate and the
7% pay rate is deferred and payable at maturity. The difference is not being
accrued by the Partnership since this loan is currently classified on non-
accrual status and is hereinafter referred to as an impaired loan. The third
modification also eliminated all types of contingent additional interest. None
of these amounts were previously accrued since receipt was dependent on various
conditions.  

Under the original loan terms, interest income relating to this impaired loan
would have been $1,003,000 in 1994, $912,000 in 1993 and $912,000 in 1992.
Interest income from this impaired loan included in the accompanying Statements
of Income and Expenses amounted to $638,000 in 1994, $735,000 in 1993 and
$685,000 in 1992. 

4. Investment Property Writedowns:

In 1993, the Partnership determined that impairments had occurred to the asset
values of the 100 Ashford Center North Office Building and the Ammendale
Technology Park - Phase I. The properties were written down to their estimated
fair value, and provisions for investment property writedowns of $7,510,000 and
$2,300,000, respectively, were recognized in 1993. 

In 1992, the Partnership determined that impairments had occurred to the asset
values of the 1275 K Street, Denver Centerpoint and Bingham Farms - Phase V
office buildings. The 1275 K Street Office Building is owned by a joint venture
with an affiliated partnership. The property was written down to its estimated
fair value and a $3,900,000 provision for investment property writedown was
recognized in 1992. The Partnership's share of this writedown was $2,360,000.
The Denver Centerpoint and Bingham Farms - Phase V office buildings were
written down to their estimated fair value and provisions for investment
property writedowns of $3,200,000 and $5,200,000, respectively, were recognized
in 1992.

5. Acquisition Loan Writedown:

The Partnership funded a $15,650,000 first mortgage loan collateralized by the
Davidson Officenter which was classified as an investment in an acquisition
loan as a result of a modification of the loan terms. In 1992, the Partnership
<PAGE>
determined that an impairment to the value of the property collateralizing the
loan had occurred. As a result, the acquisition loan and related net accrued
interest were written down to a carrying value equal to the property's
estimated fair value and a $8,071,364 provision for acquisition loan writedown
was recognized. In 1993, the Partnership received a discounted prepayment of
the loan in the amount of $6,000,000.

6. Management Agreements:

As of December 31, 1994, all of the properties owned by the Partnership are
under management agreements with a third-party management company. These
management agreements provide for annual fees of 3% to 6% of gross operating
receipts.

7. Affiliate's Participation in Joint Ventures:

The 1275 K Street Office Building and the Westech 360 Office Buildings are
owned by joint ventures between the Partnership and an affiliated partnership.
All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint ventures are included
in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment
of profit or loss for the affiliate's participation in the joint ventures. For
the 1275 K Street Office Building, profits and losses are allocated 60.52% to
the Partnership and 39.48% to the affiliate. The 1992 loss relating to the 1275
K Street Office Building includes the affiliate's $1,540,000 share of the
provision for investment property writedown relating to this property. For the
Westech 360 Office Buildings, profits and losses are allocated 56.7% to the
Partnership and 43.3% to the affiliate.

8. Investment in Joint Venture with an Affiliate:

The Partnership owns a 22.91% joint venture interest in the Pacific Center
Office Buildings. The joint venturer is an affiliate of the Partnership with
investment objectives similar to those of the Partnership. In 1992, it was
determined that an impairment to the fair value of the Pacific Center Office
Buildings had occurred. The Partnership's share of the 1992 provision for
investment property writedown was $1,400,000.

9. Tax Accounting:

The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code,
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and existing interpretations
thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from the
tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the
Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that
the net income for 1994 in the financial statements is $1,033,425 less than the
tax income of the Partnership for the same period.

10. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed all
of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third party
in November 1994.

The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other
affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of
the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The
program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no
fee for administering the program. The Partnership's premiums to the deductible
insurance program were $107,935, $72,615 and $68,987 for 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively.

11. Rentals under Operating Leases:

The Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of retail, office and
shopping center space under operating leases. The minimum future rentals
(excluding amounts representing costs such as taxes, maintenance and insurance)
based on operating leases held at December 31, 1994 are approximately as
follows:

                         1995         $ 14,064,000
                         1996           12,573,000
                         1997            9,395,000
                         1998            7,553,000
                         1999            5,105,000
                         Thereafter      4,563,000
                                       -----------
                                      $ 53,253,000
                                      ============

Minimum future rentals do not include amounts which may be received from
certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales in excess of
stipulated minimums. Percentage rentals were not significant during 1994, 1993
and 1992.

The Partnership is subject to the usual business risks regarding the collection
of the above-mentioned rentals.

12. Subsequent Event:

In January 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $1,577,085 ($1.30 per
Taxable Interest and $1.73 per Tax-exempt Interest) to holders of Limited
Partnership Interests for the fourth quarter of 1994.
