                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Equity Pension Investors-IV A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1986 to make first mortgage
loans and to invest in and operate income-producing real property. The
Partnership raised $46,371,500 through the sale of Limited Partnership
Interests and utilized these proceeds to fund one acquisition loan and acquire
two real property investments. As of September 30, 1995, the Partnership owns
two properties and a minority interest in a joint venture with affiliates.

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

The Partnership recognized its share of the decline in the fair value of the 45
West 45th Street Office Building during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
This was partially offset by increased real estate tax reimbursements at the
Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.  The combined effect of these events resulted
in decreased net income during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 and recognition of a net loss during the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to income during the same period
in 1994. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized
below.

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

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

Increased real estate tax reimbursements from tenants at the Evanston Plaza
Shopping Center resulted in increased service income. 

Interest income on short-term investments increased as a result of higher
interest rates earned on short-term investments and higher average cash
balances available for investment.

Property operating expenses increased as a result of increased tenant
improvement expenditures at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.  This increase
was partially offset by a decrease in snow removal costs incurred during the
first quarter and plumbing repairs at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.

Property management fees, which are earned as a percentage of rental and
service income collected, decreased due to the timing of the collection of real
estate tax reimbursements at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.
<PAGE>
The Partnership recognized its share of the decline in the fair value of the 45
West 45th Street Office Building during the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
This resulted in the participation in loss of joint venture with affiliates
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to income during
the same period in 1994 and an increase in net loss 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 at September 30, 1995 increased when
compared to December 31, 1994 primarily due to cash flow from the operation of
the Partnership's properties which was partially offset by the payment of
distributions to the Limited and General Partners.

The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as
either positive, a marginal deficit, or a significant deficit, each after
consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is
considered significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's
rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its
properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property
related expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
the Gleneagles Apartments and Evanston Plaza Shopping Center generated positive
cash flow. The property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture
interest with affiliates, the 45 West 45th Street Office Building, generated
positive cash flow during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.
Significant leasing costs were incurred in 1995 at the property. These
non-recurring expenditures were not included in classifying the cash flow
performance of the property. Had the costs been included, the property would
have been classified as generating a significant cash flow deficit for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  

As of September 30, 1995, the Gleneagles Apartments and Evanston Plaza Shopping
Center both had occupancy rates of 96%, while the 45 West 45th Street Office
Building had an occupancy rate of 98%. 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. 

The Partnership and three affiliates previously funded a $23,000,000 loan on
the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. In February 1995, the participants
received title to the property through foreclosure. The Partnership owns a
15.22% joint venture interest in the property.

In October 1995, the Partnership made a cash distribution of $419,733 ($2.29
per Taxable Interest and $2.26 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners,
representing the quarterly distribution for the third quarter of 1995. In
addition, during October 1995, the Partnership paid $34,991 to the General
Partner as its share of the third quarter of 1995 distribution, and made a  
$11,664 contribution to the Repurchase Fund. Including the October 1995
distribution, Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of $81.93
per $250 Taxable Interest, of which $81.68 represents cash flow from operations
and $.25 represents a return of original capital, and $79.96 per $250
Tax-exempt Interest, of which $79.71 represents cash flow from operations and
$.25 represents a return of original capital.
<PAGE>
The General Partner expects that the cash flow from property operations 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 as to which there can be
no assurances.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the General Partner on behalf
of the Partnership used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 226
Interests from Limited Partners at a total cost of $38,499.

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.
