                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Balcor Growth Fund A Real Estate Investment for Capital Appreciation (the
"Partnership") was formed in 1985 to invest in and operate income-producing
real property. The Partnership raised $7,084,000 from sales of Limited
Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire joint venture
interests in two real properties. The Partnership is currently involved in the
operation of these joint ventures.

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 1994 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

Summary of Net Loss
- -------------------

The operations of the Partnership are primarily comprised of the Partnership's
participation in the operations of the Post Lake and Redwood Shores apartment
complexes. As a result of improved operations at both properties, the
Partnership's net loss decreased during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994. Further discussion
of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.

1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1995 and 1994 refer
to both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Post Lake Apartments generated net income during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to a net loss during the same period in 1994 and
generated a smaller net loss during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of higher rental
income due to higher rental rates and occupancy. These improvements resulted in
affiliate's participation in income from joint venture during the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to a participation in loss during the same
period in 1994.

The net loss from Redwood Shores Apartments decreased during 1995 as compared
to 1994 as a result of higher rental income due to increased occupancy and a
higher seller's participation in loss of joint venture, as discussed below.
These items were partially offset by higher property operating expenses as a
result of higher repairs and maintenance costs.

The seller's participation in the loss of Redwood Shores is equal to the lesser
of the seller's capital contributions during the year or the seller's 30% share
<PAGE>
of the property operating loss.  Due to higher capital contributions in 1995
than 1994, the seller participation was higher during 1995 as compared to 1994.

As a result of higher interest rates and outstanding balances during 1995,
interest expense on the Partnership's short-term loan with an affiliate
increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.

Primarily as a result of lower accounting fees, administrative expenses
decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same
period in 1994. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The cash position of the Partnership increased as of September 30, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994, due primarily to borrowings from an affiliate
which were partially used to fund capital contributions to Redwood Partners, as
described below, for its share of certain costs associated with the
re-marketing of the Redwood Shores bonds.

The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of the properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments. A deficit is considered to be
significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's rental and
service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from the properties
as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related
expenditures, which include debt service payments. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, Post Lake Apartments generated positive cash flow
and Redwood Shores Apartments generated a marginal cash flow deficit.  During
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the mortgage financing on
the Redwood Shores Apartments required principal payments of $287,500 and
$260,000, respectively, which caused the deficits. The joint venture partners
of Redwood Shores (Redwood Partners and the seller) are required to fund their
share of any cash flow deficit the property generates.

While the cash flow of the properties in which the Partnership holds joint
venture interests has improved, the General Partner continues to pursue a
number of actions aimed at improving the cash flow of these properties
including refinancing of mortgage loans, improving property operating
performance, and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow.  As of
September 30, 1995, both Redwood Shores Apartments and Post Lake Apartments had
an occupancy rate of 99%. 

Each of the properties is owned through the use of third-party mortgage loan
financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial
obligations required by such loans. In October 1995, the Redwood Shores joint
venture completed the re-marketing of the $25,630,000 bonds collateralized by
the Redwood Shores Apartments.  The principal and bond reserve were unchanged
and the interest rate was reduced from 8.75% to 5.20%.  The principal will
initially be amortized by $200,000 semi-annually.  The semi-annual amortization
will subsequently increase by $10,000 or $15,000 for each six-month period
thereafter through the next tender/re-marketing date, October 2000.  The
maturity date of the bonds is September 2008.  The joint venture paid
refinancing fees of $320,000 and Redwood Partners paid legal fees of $11,005 in
connection with the re-marketing.
<PAGE>
As of September 30, 1995, $1,035,645 is owed to the General Partner. The
General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the
Partnership for working capital or liquidity purposes, although there is no
assurance that such loans will be available. Should such short-term loans not
be available, the General Partner will seek alternative third party sources of
financing working capital. However, the current economic environment and its
impact on the real estate industry make it unlikely that the Partnership would
be able to secure financing from third parties to fund working capital needs or
operating deficits. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available
either through the General Partner or third parties, the Partnership may be
required to dispose of one or both of its joint venture interests to satisfy
these obligations.  It is not expected that the Partnership will generate
substantial Net Cash Receipts, and any cash flow that is generated is expected
to be used to finance the Partnership's share of improvements that are intended
to enhance the value of the properties and to repay General Partner advances.
The Redwood Shores and Post Lake apartment complexes may not currently be sold
on terms which are advantageous to the Partnership and it may be necessary for
the joint ventures to retain ownership of the properties for longer than the
holding period originally projected in the Prospectus.

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.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policy:

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying statements for the nine months and quarter
ended September 30, 1995, and all such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.

2. Interest Expense:

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
incurred and paid interest expense on the mortgage note payable of $1,698,813
and $1,721,675, respectively.

3. Subsequent Event:

In October 1995, the Redwood Shores joint venture completed the re-marketing of
the $25,630,000 bonds collateralized by the Redwood Shores Apartments.  The
principal and bond reserve were unchanged and the interest rate was reduced
from 8.75% to 5.20%.  The principal will initially be amortized by $200,000
semi-annually.  The semi-annual amortization will subsequently increase by
$10,000 or $15,000 for each six-month period thereafter through the next
tender/re-marketing date in October 2000.  The joint venture paid refinancing
fees of $320,000 and Redwood Partners paid legal fees of $11,005 in connection
with the re-marketing.

The bonds are subject to various redemption options and tender provisions
pursuant to the terms of the trust indenture.  The joint venture is obligated
to make principal payments to the extent the bonds are redeemed or mature under
these provisions.  Unless there is a prior redemption of all or a part of the
bonds, principal of approximately $16,820,000 will be due in September 2008,
which will require the sale or refinancing of the property.
