                                    PART I
Item 1. Business
- ----------------

Balcor Current Income Fund-87 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1986 under the laws of the
State of Delaware. The Registrant raised $14,942,190 from sales of Limited
Partnership Depositary Units. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively
of investment in and operation of one existing real property, and all financial
information included in this report relates to this industry segment.

As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owns Autumn Woods Apartments, as
described under "Properties" (Item 2). The Partnership Agreement provides that
the proceeds of any sale, financing or refinancing will not be reinvested in
new acquisitions. 

Autumn Woods Apartments is subject to certain competitive conditions in the
market in which it is located. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources"
for additional information.

Overall, the investment real estate market saw gradual improvement over the
last year. This improvement has taken place in an environment of generally low
interest rates and little or no new supply, parameters which may not exist in
the next few years. Demand for real estate space, while projected to improve in
line with the overall economy, is also vulnerable to external forces. The major
challenges facing the real estate industry today include increased
international competition, corporate restructurings, new computer and
communications technologies, an aging  population and potential revisions of
the tax code. In addition, the increased flow of capital to real estate through
new vehicles such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and REITs could spur
new construction at unsupportable levels, as well as impact existing property
values.

Operationally, existing apartment properties continued to register occupancy
percentages in the 90s, with average rents rising at an annual rate of between
3 and 4 percent. Apartments are still considered one of the top real estate
asset classes in terms of performance. However, some markets are experiencing
new construction of rental units which, if unrestrained, could impact the
performance of existing properties. Most of the new construction is aimed at
the two segments of the rental market which are growing the fastest: low-income
households and upper-income households who prefer to rent rather than own.  Of
all the major asset classes, apartments typically display the least volatility
in terms of property values.

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. As a result,
the General Partner is exploring an acceleration of its strategy to sell the
Registrant's property.

Activity for the purchase of limited partnership interests ("tender offers")
has increased in real estate limited partnerships generally. Many of these
tender offers have been made by investors seeking to make a profit from the
purchase of the interests. In the event a tender offer is made for interests in
the Registrant, the General Partner will issue a response to limited partners
expressing the General Partner's opinion regarding the offer. Certain
administrative costs will be incurred to respond to a tender offer. The General
<PAGE>
Partner cannot predict with any certainty what impact a tender offer will have
on the operations or management of the Registrant.

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
of any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would
be material to the Registrant.

The officers and employees of Balcor CIF Partners, 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, 1995, the Registrant has a 99.7291% interest in the joint
venture that owns Autumn Woods Apartments, a 424-unit apartment complex located
on approximately 37 acres in Indianapolis, Indiana. See Note 6 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.

The property is held subject to a mortgage loan.

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

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

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

The Registrant is not subject to any material pending legal proceedings, nor
were any such proceedings terminated during the fourth quarter of 1995.

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

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

The exterior of the Autumn Woods Apartments was painted during 1995 which was
the primary reason for the increase in the net loss during 1995 as compared to
1994. The decrease in operations in 1994 was due primarily to increased
property operating expenses which resulted in an increase in the net loss
during 1994 as compared to 1993.  Further discussion of Balcor Current Income
Fund-87 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") operations is
summarized below.

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

Rental rates increased at Autumn Woods Apartments, resulting in an increase in
rental and service income during 1995 as compared to 1994.

Due to lower average cash balances, interest income on short-term investments
decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994.

The General Partner advanced funds as required by the Prospectus to pay the
monthly debt service payments due on the property's mortgage loan through
December 1994, which increased the balance of the loan payable - affiliate.
This increase, combined with higher average interest rates in 1995, resulted in
an increase in interest expense on the short-term loan payable - affiliate
during 1995 as compared to 1994.

Due to the exterior painting during 1995 of the Autumn Woods Apartments,
property operating expenses increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.
<PAGE>
Due to a decrease in the distribution level to Unitholders, incentive
partnership management fees payable to the General Partner decreased during
1995 as compared to 1994.

Higher accounting fees resulted in an increase in administrative expenses
during 1995 as compared to 1994.

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 -
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 expenditures for roof repairs, floor covering replacement,
insurance premiums, payroll expenses and contract services, property operating
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.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased as of December 31, 1995 when
compared to December 31, 1994, which was primarily due to the payment of
distributions to Unitholders and the General Partner exceeding the cash flow
generated by the operation of the Autumn Woods Apartments. The Partnership's
cash flow provided by operating activities during 1995 was generated primarily
by the 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 and the payment of principal on the mortgage note payable and the loan
from the General Partner.
<PAGE>
During 1995 and 1994, Autumn Woods Apartments generated positive cash flow,
which the Partnership defines 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.

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. As a result,
the General Partner is exploring an acceleration of its strategy to sell the
Partnership's property.

In conjunction with the May 1993 financing of Autumn Woods Apartments, the
monthly debt service payments due on the first mortgage loan were required by
the Prospectus to be funded by advances from the General Partner on a zero
coupon basis until December 1994, at which time the General Partner loan
matured. The General Partner loan is now a demand loan and is expected to be
repaid from the available cash flow from operations of the property and/or
property sale proceeds. Additionally, all debt service payments required under
the first mortgage loan, which matures in 1998, will now be paid from the cash
flow of the property. As of December 31, 1995, the loan payable to the General
Partner was $1,010,262.

In January 1996, the Partnership paid $74,711 ($.075 per Unit) of Net Cash
Receipts to the Unitholders representing the distribution for the fourth
quarter of 1995. The level of this distribution remained unchanged from the
amount distributed to Unitholders during the third quarter of 1995. During 1995
the Partnership made four quarterly distributions to Unitholders totaling $.30
per unit. During each of 1994 and 1993 the Partnership made four quarterly
distributions to Unitholders totaling $.90 per Unit. See Financial Statements,
Statement of Partners' Capital. The decrease in the distribution level was
primarily due to the funding of debt service payments from cash flow, which,
until December 1994, was funded by General Partner loans. See Note 8 of Notes
to Financial Statements for additional information. Including the January 1996
distribution, Unitholders have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts
totaling $6.54 per Unit. The General Partner 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 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
$133,724 of incentive partnership management fees and $19,480 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.
<PAGE>
In 1995 the Financial Accounting and Standards Board issued Statement No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of". This statement has been adopted by the Partnership as of January
1, 1995 and did not have a material impact on the financial position or results
of operations of the Partnership.

Autumn Woods is located in Northeast Indianapolis. This sub-market currently
has an overall occupancy rate of 93%. There are five primary competitors to
Autumn Woods which have an average occupancy of 93%. The direct competition is
generally newer communities with higher rents. Autumn Woods has a younger
profile due to its age/lower rents which differentiates itself from the
competition.  Autumn Woods' occupancy was 93% as of December 31, 1995. New
construction in Indianapolis should not affect Autumn Woods due to the rent
difference.

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.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Disclosure
- --------------------

On September 14, 1995 the Partnership approved the engagement of Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December
<PAGE>
31, 1995 to replace the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, who were dismissed as
auditors of the Partnership effective September 14, 1995. The General Partner
of the Partnership approved the change in auditors.

The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Partnership's financial statements for
the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.

In connection with the audits of the Partnership's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, and in the subsequent
interim period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the
matter in their report.

To the Partners of
Balcor Current Income Fund-87
A Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet and the financial statement  
schedule of Balcor Current Income Fund-87 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (A
Delaware Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and the related
statements of partners' (deficit) capital, income and expenses, and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
financial statement schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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, 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

                         BALCOR CURRENT INCOME FUND-87
                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Operations:

Balcor Current Income Fund-87 A Real Estate Limited Partnership is engaged in
the operation of residential real estate located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

2.  Accounting Policies:

(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could vary from those estimates.

(b) 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.

(c) Effective January 1, 1995 the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". Under SFAS 121, the
Partnership records its investment in real estate at the lower of cost or fair
value, and periodically assesses, but not less than on an annual basis,
possible impairment to the value of its property. The General Partner estimates
the fair value of its property by dividing the property's expected net
operating income by a risk adjusted rate of return which considers economic and
demographic conditions in the market. In the event the General Partner
determines an impairment in value has occurred, and the carrying amount of the
real estate asset will not be recovered, a provision is recorded to reduce the
carrying basis of the property to its estimated fair value. The General Partner
considers the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of
a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value
indicate otherwise.

(d) Deferred expenses consist of financing fees which are amortized over the
term of the loan.

(e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, _Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments_, requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.  Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's
financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present
value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
<PAGE>
flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does
not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments
and all non-financial instruments such as real estate from its disclosure
requirements. 

(f) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.

(h) 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.

(i) A reclassification has been made to the previously reported 1994 and 1993
statements in order to provide comparability with the 1995 statements. This
reclassification has not changed the 1994 or 1993 results.

3. 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
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. 

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 $22,412, $67,240 and $67,240 of
<PAGE>
Incentive Partnership Management Fees and $2,492, $7,471 and $7,471 as its
unsubordinated distributive share during 1995, 1994 and 1993, 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.

4. 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 1995, 1994 and 1993 the Partnership incurred and
paid interest expense of $836,418, $843,120 and $520,648, respectively. 

Real estate with an aggregate carrying value of $9,547,402 at December 31, 1995
was pledged as collateral for repayment of the mortgage note payable.

Future approximate maturities of the Autumn Woods mortgage note payable during
each of the next three years are summarized below:

                        1996              $   88,000
                        1997                  95,000
                        1998               9,343,000
                        
5. Management Agreement:

As of December 31, 1995, 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.

6. Affiliate's Participation in Joint Venture:

The Autumn Woods Apartments is owned by the Partnership and an affiliated
partnership. Profits and losses are allocated 99.7291% to the Partnership
and .2709% to the affiliate. All assets, liabilities, income and expenses
of the joint venture are included in the financial statements of the
Partnership with the appropriate adjustment for profit or loss for the
affiliate's participation. Distributions of $1,222, $3,706 and $3,278 were
made to the joint venture partner during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The joint venture partner made a contribution of $157 during
1993.
<PAGE>
7. 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 loss for 1995 in the financial statements is $128,074 more than the tax
loss of the Partnership for the same period.

8. 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 new General Partner loan to prepay the General Partner's zero coupon
loan and accrued interest thereon. During 1993, the Partnership incurred
interest expense of $356,633 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 1994. The remainder of the General Partner loan is a
demand loan and is expected to be repaid from the available cash flow from
operations of the property. In 1995, $100,000 of the General Partner loan was

compensation for administering the program; however, the General Partner is
reimbursed for expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible
insurance program of $18,387, $27,289 and $18,640 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
