Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

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

An overall decrease in operations at Autumn Woods Apartments due primarily to
increased property operating and maintenance and repair expenses resulted in an
increase in the net loss during 1994 as compared to 1993. 

Overall interest expense on long term financing was higher in 1993 than in 1992
and resulted in an increase in the net loss during 1993. Further discussion of
Balcor Current Income Fund-87 (the "Partnership") operations is summarized
below.

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

Rental rates increased at Autumn Woods Apartments, resulting in an increase in
rental and service income during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Balcor Real Estate Holdings, Inc. ("BREHI"), an affiliate of the General
Partner, previously funded a zero coupon loan to the Partnership on which
interest expense compounded semi-annually. During May 1993, this loan was
prepaid with proceeds received from the financing with a third party of the
Autumn Woods mortgage loan and funds advanced from the General Partner. This
resulted in the cessation of interest expense on the promissory note payable -
<PAGE>
affiliate. This new mortgage loan resulted in an increase in interest expense
on the mortgage note payable and amortization of deferred expenses during 1994
as compared to 1993.

The General Partner advanced funds to prepay the remainder of the zero coupon
loan in May 1993, and advanced funds as required by the Limited Partnership
Agreement to pay the monthly debt service payments due on the property's
mortgage loan through December 1994. As a result, interest expense on the
short-term loan payable - affiliate increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Due to higher insurance premiums, payroll expenses and contract services,
property operating expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

Due to higher expenditures for roof repairs and floor covering replacement,
maintenance and repair expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993.

During 1994, the Partnership received a refund of prior years' taxes from
taxing authorities due to a decrease in the assessed value of Autumn Woods
Apartments. This resulted in a decrease in real estate tax expense during 1994
as compared to 1993.

Due to a decrease in the distribution level to Unitholders for the fourth
quarter of 1994, incentive partnership management fees decreased during 1994 as
compared to 1993.

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

Rental rates increased at Autumn Woods Apartments in 1993, resulting in an
increase in rental and service income in 1993 as compared to 1992.

Due to lower average cash balances and lower interest rates on short-term
interest-bearing instruments, interest income on short-term investments
decreased during 1993 as compared to 1992.

During May 1993, the BREHI note was prepaid with proceeds received from the
financing of the Autumn Woods mortgage loan and funds advanced from the General
Partner. This resulted in a decrease in interest expense on the promissory note
payable-affiliate during 1993 as compared to 1992.

As a result of the financing of the Autumn Woods mortgage loan, interest
expense on the mortgage note payable and amortization of deferred expenses were
incurred during 1993.

Due to higher expenditures for roof and pavement repairs, maintenance and
repair expense increased during 1993 when compared to 1992.

Higher accounting and portfolio management costs resulted in an increase in
administrative expenses during 1993 as compared to 1992.

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

The Partnership's cash flow provided by operating activities during 1994 was
generated primarily from the operation of Autumn Woods Apartments, which was
partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses and incentive
partnership management fees. Financing activities included the payment of
distributions to Unitholders and the General Partner, the receipt of loan
proceeds from the General Partner to fund debt service payments on the Autumn
Woods mortgage loan, and the payment of principal on the mortgage note payable.
A portion of the loan from the General Partner was also repaid during December
1994 from Partnership cash reserves, causing the cash position of the
Partnership at December 31, 1994 to decrease in comparison to December 31,
1993.

Autumn Woods Apartments is located on the northeast side of Indianapolis in the
<PAGE>
city submarket of Castleton/Nora. There are approximately 11,000 rental units
in this submarket, most of which are newer and have slightly higher rental
rates than Autumn Woods Apartments. Autumn Woods Apartments competes most
directly with approximately 3,000 rental units located within a 2 mile radius
of the property, many of which have been renovated within the last 3 years. The
average property in this market is 12-15 years old, consists of 300 units and
has an occupancy rate of 92%. Autumn Woods Apartments, a 424-unit property
built in 1977, has a current occupancy rate of 93%. There are currently 300 new
rental units under construction in this market. The average rental rate for
these units are $100-$200 a month per unit higher than Autumn Woods Apartments.

As of December 31, 1994, Autumn Woods Apartments was generating positive cash
flow. The Partnership defines cash flow as an amount equal to the property's
revenue receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service
payments. Autumn Woods Apartments is encumbered by a first mortgage loan which
matures in 1998.

In conjunction with the May 1993 financing of the Autumn Woods loan, the
monthly debt service payments due on the first mortgage loan were required by
the Limited Partnership Agreement to be funded by advances from the General
Partner on a zero coupon basis until December 1994 when the General Partner
loan matured. The Partnership repaid a portion of the loan in December and the
remainder of the loan is expected to be repaid from the available cash flow
from operations of the property. Additionally, all debt service payments
required under the first mortgage loan will now be paid from the cash flow of
the property. As of December 31, 1994, the loan payable to the General Partner
is $1,041,594, including accrued interest thereon. See Note 7 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.

In January 1995, the Partnership paid $74,711 ($.075 per Unit) of Net Cash
Receipts to the Unitholders representing the distribution for the fourth
quarter of 1994. The level of this distribution decreased from the amount
distributed to Unitholders for the third quarter of 1994 due to the maturity
and partial repayment of the General Partner loan in December 1994. During
1994, 1993 and 1992, the Partnership made four quarterly distributions of Net
Cash Receipts to Unitholders totaling  $.90 per Unit for each year. See
Financial Statements, Statements of Partners' Capital. The distributions paid
to Unitholders in 1994, 1993 and 1992 represent annual returns of 6.00% on
Adjusted Original Capital. The General Partner presently expects that cash flow
from property operations will allow the Partnership to continue making
quarterly distributions to Unitholders. However, the level of future
distributions will be dependent on the repayment of the General Partner loan
and the cash flow generated by the Autumn Woods Apartments. In light of results
to date and current market conditions, there can be no assurance that investors
will recover all of their original investment.

Since the Preferred Distribution levels to Unitholders specified in the
Partnership Agreement have not been attained in any year, the General Partner
subordinated 25% of its share of Net Cash Receipts, in the cumulative amount of
$127,915 of incentive partnership management fees and $16,998 as its
distributive share, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The General
Partner anticipates that future distribution levels will continue to result in
further subordinations of its incentive management fee and distributive share
from operations. During 1988 and 1989, the General Partner also voluntarily
agreed to subordinate $82,953 of incentive partnership management fees and
$15,130 as its distributive share, to the prior receipt of the specified
returns by Unitholders. These amounts may be paid to the General Partner from
Net Cash Proceeds received by the Partnership prior to any other payments out
of Net Cash Proceeds. 

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 the Partnership's
<PAGE>
property, 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 Current Income Fund-87
A Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Balcor Current Income
Fund-87 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (A Delaware 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 included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and
schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Current Income Fund-87
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. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

                         BALCOR CURRENT INCOME FUND-87
                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                        (A Delaware 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             20
               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 loan commitment fees and other loan closing
costs which are amortized over the term of the loan.

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

(d) 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.

(e) Reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 1993 and 1992
statements in order to provide comparability with the 1994 statements. These
reclassifications have not changed the 1993 or 1992 results.

2. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized in July 1986. The Partnership Agreement provides
for Balcor CIF Partners to be the General Partner and for the sale of up to
5,000,000 Limited Partnership Depositary Units at $15 per Unit, 996,146 of
which were sold through December 1987, when the offering terminated.

The Partnership Agreement provides that, except for profit or loss from the
sale or other disposition of Partnership property, each item of profit or loss
will be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to Unitholders. Net Cash
Receipts available for distribution will be distributed to Unitholders on a
quarterly basis as follows: 94% to Unitholders and 6% to the General Partner
for the 12-month period commencing on the first day of the first full calendar
quarter following the termination of the offering, 93% to Unitholders and 7% to
the General Partner for the next 12-month period, 92% to Unitholders and 8% to
the General Partner for the next 12-month period, 91% to Unitholders and 9% to
the General Partner for the next 12-month period and 90% to Unitholders and 10%
to the General Partner for each 12-month period thereafter. For such periods,
1% of such Net Cash Receipts shall be the General Partner's distributive share
from operations and 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% and 9%, respectively, shall be its Incentive
Partnership Management Fee. To the extent of any deficiency in the Unitholders'
receipt of Preferred Distributions for any year, up to 25% of the General
Partner's share of Net Cash Receipts (including Incentive Partnership
<PAGE>
Management Fees) for that year shall be subordinated to the Unitholders'
receipt of such Preferred Distributions. Preferred Distributions are those
amounts equal to 8% per annum for the three-year period commencing on the first
day of the full calendar quarter following the termination of the offering,
8.5% per annum for the next three-year period, 9% per annum for the next
two-year period and 10% per annum for each 12-month period thereafter on
Adjusted Original Capital, to be satisfied from Net Cash Receipts and Net Cash
Proceeds. 

The distributions paid to Unitholders in 1994, 1993 and 1992 represent average
annual returns of 6.00% on Adjusted Original Capital. Since the Preferred
Distribution levels to the Unitholders have not been attained in any year, the
General Partner subordinated 25% of its share of Net Cash Receipts. The General
Partner received $67,240, $67,240 and $65,208 of incentive partnership
management fees and $7,471, $7,471 and $7,451 as its unsubordinated
distributive share during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The remaining 75%
of Net Cash Receipts distributions which the General Partner was entitled to
receive in 1988 and 1989 was voluntarily subordinated to the prior receipt of
certain returns to the Unitholders.

When the Partnership sells or refinances its property, the Net Cash Proceeds
resulting therefrom which are available for distribution will be distributed
first to the General Partner to the extent of its share of Net Cash Receipts
voluntarily subordinated in 1988 and 1989 which totals $98,083; then to
Unitholders until such time as Unitholders have received an amount equal to
their Original Capital plus any deficiency in a 6% per annum Cumulative
Distribution on Adjusted Original Capital. Thereafter, remaining Net Cash
Proceeds will be paid to the General Partner to pay any subordinated real
estate commissions on property sales; next, to pay to Unitholders an amount
equal to any deficiency in their receipt of Preferred Distributions; next, to
the General Partner in an amount equal to any deficiencies in its required
subordinated share of Net Cash Receipts and Incentive Partnership Management
Fees; and finally 85% to Unitholders and 15% to the General Partner.

3. Mortgage Note Payable:

In May 1993, the Partnership obtained a $9,720,000 first mortgage loan
collateralized by Autumn Woods Apartments. The loan matures in June 1998, bears
interest at a rate of 8.74%, and requires monthly payments of principal and
interest of $76,398. During 1994 the Partnership incurred and paid interest
expense of $843,120.

Approximate maturities of the Autumn Woods mortgage note payable during each of
the next four years are summarized below.

                        1995              $   80,000
                        1996                  88,000
                        1997                  96,000
                        1998               9,343,000

4. Management Agreement:

As of December 31, 1994, Autumn Woods Apartments is under a management
agreement with a third-party management company. This management agreement
provides for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.

5. Affiliate's Participation in Joint Venture:

Autumn Woods Apartments is owned by a joint venture between the Partnership and
an affiliated partnership. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the
joint venture 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 venture. Profits and losses are allocated 99.7291% to the
Partnership and .2709% to the affiliate.

6. Tax Accounting:
<PAGE>
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 loss for 1994 in the financial statements is $66,909 more than the tax
loss of the Partnership for the same period.

7. 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 the
Partnership's property until the affiliate was sold to a third party in
November 1994.

In May 1993, the Partnership used proceeds from the Autumn Woods first mortgage
loan and a General Partner loan to prepay the zero coupon loan and accrued
interest thereon. During 1993 and 1992, the Partnership incurred interest
expense of $356,633 and $825,203 respectively, in connection with the zero
coupon financing, all of which was paid in 1993.

In conjunction with the May 1993 financing of the Autumn Woods loan, the
monthly debt service payments due on the first mortgage loan were required to
be funded by advances from the General Partner through December 16, 1994, at
which time the General Partner loan became due. The Partnership repaid $500,000
of the loan in December and the remainder of the General Partner loan has been
extended and is expected to be repaid from the available cash flow from
operations of the property. As of December 31, 1994, this loan had a balance of
$1,041,594. During 1994 and 1993, the Partnership incurred interest expense of
$55,442 and $4,613, respectively. Interest expense was computed at the American
Express Company cost of funds rate plus a spread to cover administrative costs.
As of December 31, 1994, this rate was 6.562%.

The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other
affiliated partnerships which 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
compensation for administering the program. The Partnership's premiums to the
deductible insurance program were $27,289, $18,640 and $17,526 for 1994, 1993
and 1992, respectively.

8. Subsequent Event:

In January 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $74,711 ($.075 per
Unit) to the Unitholders for the fourth quarter of 1994.
