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

Improved operations at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center resulting primarily
from increased real estate tax reimbursements was the primary reason for the
increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

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

Increased real estate tax reimbursements from tenants at the Evanston Plaza
Shopping Center resulted in increased service income for the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994. 

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 the six months and quarter ended June
30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994.

As a result of increased tenant improvement expenditures at the Evanston Plaza
Shopping Center, property operating expenses increased during the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in carpet replacement costs at the Gleneagles
Apartments.

Property management fees, which are earned as a percentage of rental and
service income collected, decreased during the six months ended June 30, 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994 due to the timing of the collection of
real estate tax reimbursements at the Evanston Plaza Shopping Center.

Increased accounting costs resulted in an increase in administrative expenses
during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
<PAGE>
As a result of lower revenues at the 45 West 45th Street Office Building, the
Partnership recognized participation in loss of joint venture with affiliates
for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1995 as compared to participation
in income of joint venture with affiliates for the same periods in 1994.

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

The cash position of the Partnership at June 30, 1995 decreased when compared
to December 31, 1994. Operating activities included cash flow from the
operation of the Partnership's properties and short-term investments, which
were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. The investing
activity consisted of net capital contributed to the joint venture with
affiliates, while financing activities consisted 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 six months ended June 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 a
significant cash flow deficit during the six months ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to positive cash flow during the same period in 1994 due to lower
rental rates in 1995. In addition, 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. As of June 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 88%. 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 August 1995, the Partnership made a cash distribution of $470,128 ($2.86 per
Taxable Interest and $2.50 per Tax-exempt Interest) to Limited Partners,
representing the quarterly distribution for the second quarter of 1995. In
addition, during August 1995, the Partnership paid $39,176 to the General
Partner as its share of the second quarter of 1995 distribution, and made a
$13,059 contribution to the Repurchase Fund. Including the August 1995
distribution, Limited Partners have received cumulative distributions of $79.64
per $250 Taxable Interest, of which $79.39 represents cash flow from operations
and $.25 represents a return of original capital, and $77.70 per $250
Tax-exempt Interest, of which $77.45 represents cash flow from operations and
$.25 represents a return of 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 six months ended June 30, 1995, the General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership used amounts placed in the Repurchase Fund to repurchase 125
Interests from Limited Partners at a total cost of $21,175.

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.
