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

Balcor Equity Pension Investors-IV A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1986 under the laws of the
State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $46,371,500 from sales of Limited
Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of the
operation of income-producing real property, and all financial information
included in this report relates to this industry segment.

The Registrant originally funded one acquisition loan and acquired two real
property investments. The Registrant has two properties and an investment in
joint venture with affiliates in its portfolio as of December 31, 1994. See
Item 2. Properties for additional information. 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 extent not required to meet the Registrant's cash requirements. 

In February 1995, the Registrant and three affiliates acquired title to the 45
West 45th Street Office Building through foreclosure. See Item 3. Legal
Proceedings for additional information.

Retail property performance was buoyed by increasing sales in 1994, reversing
the trend from the early 1990s. Interest rate sensitive sectors - automotive,
home improvement, and home furnishing related goods - have led the retail
industry recovery while other sectors, such as apparel, continue to languish.
The outlook for 1995 will depend on the reaction of consumers to rising
interest rates. With consumers financing the bulk of their purchases, retail
sales levels are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which may
increase again in 1995 if economic growth continues at its current pace. The
emergence of different retailing strategies, such as discount stores, power
centers, superstores, catalogs and other forms of home shopping, will continue
to challenge the retail property sector.

During 1994, institutionally owned and managed multi-family residential
properties in many markets continued to experience favorable operating
conditions combined with relatively low levels of new construction. These
favorable operating conditions were supported by the strong pattern of national
economic growth which contributed to job growth and rising income levels in
most local economies. 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. Both of the Registrant's properties generated positive cash flow
during 1994. 

Historically, real estate investments have experienced the same cyclical
characteristics affecting most other types of long-term investments. While real
estate values have generally risen over time, the cyclical character of real
estate investments, together with local, regional and national market
conditions, has resulted in periodic devaluations of real estate in particular
markets, as has been experienced in the last few years. As a result of these
factors, it has become necessary for the Registrant to retain ownership of its
properties for longer than the holding period for the assets originally
described in the Prospectus. The General Partner examines the operations of
each property and each local market in conjunction with the Registrant's long-
term dissolution strategy when determining the optimal time to sell each of the
Registrant's properties.

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
<PAGE>
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-IV, 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 2. Properties
------------------

As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant owns the two properties described
below:

Location                      Description of Property
--------                      -----------------------

Evanston, Illinois            Evanston Plaza Shopping Center: a neighborhood
                              shopping center containing approximately 170,000
                              square feet located on approximately 13 acres.

Dade County, Florida          Gleneagles Apartments: a 292-unit apartment
                              complex located on approximately 14 acres.

The Registrant also holds a minority joint venture interest with affiliates in
the 45 West 45th Street Office Building in New York, New York.

See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding real property
investments.

In the opinion of the General Partner, the Registrant has provided for adequate
insurance coverage for its real estate investment properties.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-------------------------

45 West 45th Street Office Building
-----------------------------------

In 1988 and 1989, the Registrant and three affiliates (together, the
"Participants"), funded a $23,000,000 loan to 45 West 45th Street Associates
collateralized by a first priority lien on the 45 West 45th Street Office
Building, New York City, New York.  The Registrant's share of the loan is
$3,500,000, for a participating percentage of approximately 15%.

In 1991, the loan was placed in default due to the failure of the borrower to
make payments due under the loan.  After modification negotiations were
unsuccessful, the borrower agreed to an uncontested foreclosure (Balcor
Mortgage Advisors, Inc. vs. 45 W. 45th Street Associates, Supreme Court of the
State of New York, City of New York Case No.:  128631/94). The Participants
were the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale and, on February 2, 1995, a
limited partnership in which each of the Participants holds an interest equal
to its participating percentage in the loan obtained title to the property.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
-----------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Registrant
during 1994.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations

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

During 1993, Balcor Equity Pension Investors - IV A Real Estate Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") recognized a provision for a writedown on its
investment in the 45 West 45th Street Office Building due to a determination
that an impairment in the value of the property had occurred. As a result, net
income increased during 1994 as compared to 1993, and decreased during 1993 as
compared to 1992. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

Operations
----------

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

Due to increased rental rates at the Gleneagles Apartments and Evanston Plaza
Shopping Center, rental income increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Increased real estate tax and common area maintenance reimbursements from
tenants at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center resulted in higher service income
during 1994 as compared to 1993. Property management fees, which are earned as
a percentage of rental and service income collected, also increased for this
<PAGE>
period.

As a result of higher interest rates earned on short-term investments and
higher average cash balances available for investment, interest income on
short-term investments increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.  

Due to increased insurance and payroll costs at both the Gleneagles Apartments
and Evanston Plaza Shopping Center, property operating expenses increased
during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Increased expenditures for roof repairs, painting and appliances at the
Gleneagles Apartments resulted in an increase in maintenance and repairs
expenses during 1994 as compared to 1993.

As a result of higher accounting, legal and portfolio management fees,
administrative expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

The Partnership recognized a provision for a writedown of $900,000 during 1993
due to a determination that an impairment in the value of the 45 West 45th
Street Office Building had occurred. No provision was recognized in 1994. As a
result, the Partnership recognized participation in income of joint venture
with affiliates during 1994 as compared to participation in loss during 1993.

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

Rental rates increased at the Gleneagles Apartments due to improved market
conditions where the property is located. As a result, rental income increased
during 1993 as compared to 1992. 

Lower interest rates earned on short-term investments and lower average funds
available for investment resulted in a decrease in interest income on short-
term investments during 1993 as compared to 1992.

Personal property at the Gleneagles Apartments became fully depreciated during
the second quarter of 1992. As a result, depreciation expense decreased during
1993 as compared to 1992.

Increased expenditures for grounds maintenance were incurred at the Evanston
Plaza Shopping Center during 1993. This was the primary reason for the increase
in maintenance and repair expenses during 1993 as compared to 1992.

The property valuation assessment received from taxing authorities increased on
the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center resulting in an increase in real estate
taxes during 1993 as compared to 1992.

During 1993, the Partnership incurred higher accounting and portfolio
management fees which resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during
1993 as compared to 1992.

The Partnership reclassified its investment in the 45 West 45th Street Office
Building loan to an investment in joint venture with affiliates and recognized
a participation in loss of joint venture with affiliates in 1993. This
represents the Partnership's share of the property's operations as well as the
amortization of loan application and processing fees which related to the loan.
In addition, the Partnership recognized a provision for a writedown of $900,000
and $438,100 in 1993 and 1992, respectively, due to the determination that an
impairment of the value of the property had occurred. 

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

The cash position of the Partnership at December 31, 1994 increased when
compared to December 31, 1993. Operating activities included cash flow from the
operations of the Partnership's properties and short-term investments, which
were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. Financing
<PAGE>
activities consisted of distributions to the Partners and leasing commissions
at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center. 

During 1994 and 1993, all of the Partnership's properties, including the
property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest with
affiliates, 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, the
Gleneagles Apartments and Evanston Plaza Shopping Center had occupancy rates of
99% and 94%, respectively. 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 both of the
properties.

In September 1992, Phar Mor, a major tenant at the Evanston Plaza Shopping
Center, filed for reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy
Court assigned Phar Mor's lease, with all the same terms, to Office Depot, a
national office supply and equipment retailer, effective December 1994.
Revenues related to this lease accounted for 11% of the Partnership's rental
income in 1994.

The Partnership and three affiliates (the "Participants") funded a $23,000,000
first mortgage loan on the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. The Partnership
funded $3,500,000 of the loan for a participating percentage of approximately
15%. In February 1995, the Participants received title to the property through
foreclosure. The Partnership's investment in this loan was reclassified from
loan in substantive foreclosure to an investment in joint venture with
affiliates effective January 1993. It is the General Partner's opinion that the
borrower had effectively  surrendered control of the property. See Item 3.
Legal Proceedings for additional information.

The Partnership made four distributions totaling $11.28 per Taxable Interest
and $10.09 per Tax-exempt Interest during 1994 as compared to $10.08 per
Taxable Interest and $10.53 per Tax-exempt Interest during 1993 and $10.83 per
Taxable Interest and $10.00 per Tax-exempt Interest in 1992.  See Statements of
Partners' Capital for additional information. Average quarterly distributions
to Limited Partners remained relatively unchanged during 1994 as compared to
1993 and during 1993 as compared to 1992. Including the January 1995
distribution, Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of $73.80
per $250 Taxable Interest and $72.70 per $250 Tax-exempt Interest. It should be
noted that distributions to Taxable Limited Partners and Tax-exempt Limited
Partners are computed by different formulas as set forth in the Prospectus;
therefore, the amount of distributions to Taxable Limited Partners when
compared to the amount of distributions to Tax-exempt Limited Partners will
fluctuate from quarter to quarter. 

During 1994, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, used amounts
placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 327 Interests from Limited Partners
at a total cost of $59,561.

In February 1995, the Partnership made a cash distribution of $476,897 ($3.24
per Taxable Interest and $2.50 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners,
representing the quarterly distribution for the fourth quarter of 1994. In
addition, during February 1995, the Partnership paid $39,740 to the General
Partner as its share of the fourth quarter of 1994 distribution, and made a
$13,247 contribution to the Repurchase Fund.

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. 

The General Partner has recently completed the outsourcing of the financial
reporting and accounting services, transfer agent and investor records
<PAGE>
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.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Balcor Equity Pension
Investors-IV A Real Estate Limited Partnership (An Illinois Limited
Partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
partners' capital, income and expenses and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994. Our audits also include the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). The financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and
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-IV A Real Estate Limited Partnership (An Illinois 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. Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all
material respects the information set forth therein.

                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. Accounting Policies:

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

                                                     Years
                                                     -----

               Buildings and improvements          25 to 30
               Furniture and fixtures                  5

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

The Partnership records its investments in real estate at cost, and
periodically assesses possible impairment to the value of its properties. In
the event that the General Partner determines that a permanent impairment in
value has occurred, the carrying basis of the property is reduced to its
estimated fair value.

(b) Deferred expenses consist of leasing commissions paid to unaffiliated
brokers which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective
lease terms.

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

(d) 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.

(e) Investment in joint venture with affiliates represents the Partnership's
15.22% interest, under the equity method of accounting, in a joint venture with
affiliated partnerships. 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.

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

(g) 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.

(h) Several reclassifications have been made in the previously reported 1993
financial statements to conform with the classification used in 1994, including
the reclassification of "loan in substantive foreclosure" to real estate to
conform with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114 which was adopted as of January 1, 1994. These reclassifications have not
changed the 1993 results.

2. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized on June 20, 1986; however, operations did not
commence until 1987. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Equity
Partners-IV 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
<PAGE>
Interest, 185,486 of which were sold through December 14, 1987, the termination
date of the offering.

Pursuant to the terms set forth in the Partnership Agreement, "Operating Income
from Real Properties" of the Partnership will be allocated 10% to the General
Partner and 90% to the Limited Partners; and "Operating Losses from Real
Properties" and other certain components will be allocated 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners; and "Other 'Operating Income' or
'Operating Losses'" will be allocated 10% to the General Partner and 90% 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 Limited Partnership interest was a taxable or
tax-exempt entity.

Ninety percent of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution will be
distributed to Limited Partners. To the extent possible, Taxable Limited
Partners will receive an allocation of such available Net Cash Receipts
generated by the operation of the Partnership's two properties in the same
manner as if their investment in the Partnership had been attributable solely
to the properties. Taxable Limited Partners will commence sharing in such
available Net Cash Receipts generated by the Partnership's investment in the 45
West 45th Street office building at such time as the Taxable Limited Partners'
investment in the Partnership is not then solely attributable to the two
properties (which time is anticipated to be upon the sale of both properties).
The Tax-exempt Limited Partners will be allocated all other Net Cash Receipts
to be allocated to the Limited Partners, consisting of (i) 100% of such
available Net Cash Receipts generated by the investment in the 45 West 45th
Street Office Building (until such time as both of the properties are sold, as
described above) plus (ii) the Net Cash Receipts generated by the operation of
the two properties, to the extent not allocated to the Taxable Limited Partners
as described above. Of the remaining 10% of Net Cash Receipts, 7 1/2% will be
paid to the General Partner as its distributive share from Partnership
operations and an additional 2 1/2% will be paid to the General Partner for
allocation to the Repurchase Fund, which may be utilized to repurchase
Interests from Limited Partners pursuant to the terms set forth in the
Partnership Agreement.

At the sole discretion of the General Partner and subject to certain
limitations, amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund have become available to be
used to repurchase Interests from existing Limited Partners. During 1994, the
General Partner used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 327
Interests from Limited Partners at a cost of $59,561. An amount not to exceed
that originally allocated to the Repurchase Fund will be returned 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.

Subject to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, "Net Cash Proceeds"
which are available for distribution will be distributed only to the Limited
Partners until such time as the Limited Partners 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 their Preferential
Cumulative Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital of 10% per annum.

3. Management Agreements:

As of December 31, 1994, both of the properties owned by the Partnership are
under management agreements with a third-party management company. These
management agreements provide for annual fees ranging from 3% to 6% of gross
operating receipts on the commercial property and of 5% on the residential
property.
<PAGE>
4. Investment in Joint Venture with Affiliates:

The Partnership and three affiliates (the "Participants"), 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, and the
Partnership owns a 15.22% joint venture interest in the property. The
Partnership's investment was reclassified from loan in substantive foreclosure
to an investment in joint venture with affiliates effective January 1993. It is
the General Partner's opinion that the borrower had effectively surrendered
control of the property. During 1993, the Partnership received distributions of
$275,720 from the joint venture. In 1993, the joint venture recognized a loss
relating to the decline in the fair value of the property. The Partnership's
participation in joint venture with affiliates for 1993 includes the
Partnership's share of the loss of $900,000.

5. 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 $186,048 less than the
net taxable income for the same period. The Partnership's aggregate cost of
land and buildings and improvements for Federal income tax purposes is
$33,778,659 at December 31, 1994.

6. Transactions with Affiliates:

Commissions, fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to
affiliates are:
                            Year Ended       Year Ended       Year Ended

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed
both 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 $26,864, $17,378 and $16,221 for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

7. Rentals under Operating Leases:
<PAGE>
The Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of space at the
Evanston Plaza Shopping Center under operating leases. The minimum future
rentals (excluding amounts representing executory costs such as taxes,
maintenance and insurance) based on operating leases held at December 31, 1994
are approximately as follows:

                         1995          $ 1,542,000
                         1996            1,523,000
                         1997            1,436,000
                         1998            1,369,000
                         1999            1,376,000
                         Thereafter      8,765,000
                                       -----------
                                       $16,011,000
                                       ===========

These rentals include amounts relating to land leases which the Partnership
entered into with certain tenants of the shopping center.

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 rentals.

8. Subsequent Event:

In February 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $476,897 ($3.24 per
Taxable Interest and $2.50 per Tax-exempt Interest) to the holders of Limited
Partnership Interests, representing the quarterly distribution for the fourth
quarter of 1994.
