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

IDS/Balcor Income Partners A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Registrant")
is a limited partnership formed in 1987 under the laws of the State of
Delaware.  The Registrant raised $18,498,500 through the sale of 73,994 Limited
Partnership Interests to the public during 1987, 1988 and 1989. The
Registrant's operations consist exclusively of investment in and operation of
income producing real property, and all financial information included in this
report relates to this industry segment.

The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire the two real
property investments described under "Properties" (Item 2). The Partnership
Agreement generally provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of
the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.

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 had previously advised limited partners that its strategy
was to sell the Registrant's properties over the next two year period. The
General Partner also stated that the timing of the liquidation could be
lengthened or shortened due to changes in market conditions, economic factors,
interest rates and unforeseen events. The General Partner now believes that the
market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to
sellers of these properties.  If current market conditions for sales remain
favorable, the liquidation of the Registrant's properties may be accelerated.  
The Registrant received notice of an unsolicited offer for the purchase of
limited partnership interests ("tender offer") in November 1995.  The tender
offer was made by Walton Street Capital Acquisition Co. L.L.C. ("Walton
Street"). Walton Street stated that their primary motive in making the offer
was to make a profit from the purchase of the interests. Walton Street acquired
3.14% of the total interests outstanding in the Registrant and assigned the
interests to its affiliate, WIG I/B Partners. The Registrant incurred
<PAGE>
administrative costs in responding to the tender offer and may incur additional
costs if additional tender offers are made in the future. The General Partner
cannot predict with any certainty what the impact of any future tender offers
will have on the operations or management of the Registrant.

The Registrant's properties are subject to certain competitive conditions in
the markets in which they are located. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for
additional information.

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 Affiliated Partners-87, Inc., the
Registrant's Managing General Partner, and IDS Realty Corporation, the
Registrant's Supervising General Partner, and their affiliates perform services
for the Registrant. The Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its
operations.

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

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

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

Primarily due to administrative expenses incurred during 1995 in connection
with a tender offer, net income decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994. Net
income increased in 1994 as compared to 1993 primarily due to improved
operations at the Post Place and Salem Courthouse apartment complexes, as well
as a decrease in depreciation expense at Salem Courthouse Apartments. Further
discussion of the operations of IDS/Balcor Income Partners A Real Estate
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is summarized below.
<PAGE>
1995 Compared to 1994
- ---------------------

Rental income increased during 1995 as compared to 1994 due to increased rental
rates at Post Place and Salem Courthouse apartments complexes. 

Interest income on short-term investments increased during 1995 as compared to
1994 as a result of higher average interest rates.

Property operating expense increased in 1995 as compared to 1994 as a result of
exterior painting at Post Place and Salem Courthouse apartments complexes.  

Real estate tax expense decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to a decrease
in the tax rate from the taxing authorities of the Salem Courthouse Apartments.
This decrease was partially offset by a refund of 1992 real estate taxes
received in 1994, due to a reduction in the assessed value of the Post Place
Apartments.

The Partnership incurred legal, consulting, printing and postage costs in
connection with a tender offer during the fourth quarter of 1995. As a result,
administrative expenses increased during 1995 as compared to 1994.

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

Net income from Post Place Apartments increased during 1994 as compared to 1993
primarily due to increased rental income as a result of increased rental rates
and occupancy at the complex.

Net income from Salem Courthouse Apartments increased in 1994 as compared to
1993 primarily due to increased rental income as a result of increased rental
rates and occupancy at the complex.  In addition, depreciation expense
decreased since personal property became fully depreciated in 1993.  Repair and
maintenance expense also decreased due to exterior wood trim and asphalt
driveway repair work which had been substantially completed in 1993.  These
decreases were partially offset by higher property operating expenses including
insurance and payroll costs.

Administrative expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993 primarily as
a result of higher accounting, portfolio management and data processing fees. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership decreased from December 31, 1994 to
December 31, 1995. The Partnership's operating activities consisted of cash
flow generated from property operations, net of administrative expenses. Cash
flow from operating activities along with Partnership reserves were used to
fund financing activities which consisted of quarterly distributions to Limited
Partners.

The Salem Courthouse and Post Place apartment complexes generated positive cash
flow during 1995 and 1994. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its
properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property
related expenditures.

The Salem Courthouse Apartments are located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The
property is in the submarket characterized as the west section of West
<PAGE>
Lafayette. The property contains 240 units, while the direct competition in the
submarket consists of five properties with approximately 1,500 total units. The
average occupancy for this submarket at comparable properties is 95%, while
Salem Courthouse Apartments had an occupancy of 94% at December 31, 1995. The
rental rates at the property are slightly higher than the average for
comparable properties in the submarket. There is currently no new construction
in the submarket.

The Post Place Apartments are located in Atlanta, Georgia. The property is in
the submarket characterized as northeast Atlanta (DeKalb County). The property
contains 122 units, while the direct competition in the submarket consists of
six properties with approximately 1,750 total units. The average occupancy for
this submarket at comparable properties is 96%, while Post Place Apartments had
an occupancy of 98% at December 31, 1995. The rental rates at the property are
consistent with the average for comparable properties in the submarket. The
construction of one new apartment complex containing 104 units was completed in
1995. This new property is considered to be in direct competition with Post
Place Apartments. While no new construction is anticipated for 1996 in this
submarket, Atlanta is the most active metro market in the country relative to
multi-family permits. Approximately 20,000 new units will be added to inventory
in a two year time period which began in 1995. The Atlanta market and this
submarket generally have high rental and occupancy rates.

The General Partner had previously advised limited partners that its strategy
was to sell the Partnership's properties over the next two year period. The
General Partner also stated that the timing of the liquidation could be
lengthened or shortened due to changes in market conditions, economic factors,
interest rates and unforeseen events. The General Partner now believes that the
market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to
sellers of these properties. If current market conditions for sales remain
favorable, the liquidation of the Partnership's properties may be accelerated.

In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $314,475 ($4.25 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the fourth
quarter of 1995. The Partnership made four distributions totaling $15.875 per
Interest in 1995 and four distributions to Limited Partners totaling $15.50 per
Interest in 1994 and 1993. See Financial Statements-Statements of Partners'
Capital. Including the January 1996 distribution, investors have received
distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $111.995 per $250 Interest, as well as
certain tax benefits. The General Partners anticipate that the cash flow from
property operations should enable the Partnership to continue making quarterly
distributions to Limited Partners at the current level during 1996 although
there can be no assurances in this regard.

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121  
which establishes accounting standards for 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.

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.

To the Partners of
IDS/Balcor Income Partners
A Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule
of IDS/Balcor Income Partners A Real Estate Limited Partnership (A Delaware
Limited Partnership) as listed in the index of this Form 10-K. 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 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 IDS/Balcor Income Partners A
Real Estate Limited Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995, 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.

                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:

IDS/Balcor Income Partners A Real Estate Limited Partnership is engaged
principally in the operation of residential real estate located in Atlanta,
Georgia and West Lafayette, Indiana markets.

2. Accounting Policies:

(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management 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 revenue 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 to 22
               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 investments 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 properties. The General Partners
estimate the fair value of their properties 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 Partners
determine 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
Partners consider 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) 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. 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.
<PAGE>
(e) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

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

(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) A reclassification has been made to the previously reported 1994 and 1993
financial statements to conform with the classifications used in 1995.  These
reclassifications have not changed the 1994 and 1993 results.

3. Partnership Agreement:

The Partnership was organized in March 1987. The Partnership Agreement provides
for Balcor Affiliated Partners-87, Inc. to be the Managing General Partner, for
IDS Realty Corporation to be the Supervising General Partner and for the
admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 400,000 Limited
Partnership Interests at $250 per Interest. The Partnership sold 73,994
Interests to the public.

The Partnership Agreement provides that, except for profit or loss from the
sale or other disposition of Partnership property, the General Partners
together shall be allocated from each item of Partnership income from
operations the greater of (i) 1% of such item or (ii) the amount of the General
Partners' distributions of Net Cash Receipts (in excess of accrued Net Cash
Receipts) from the Partnership. The remaining income from operations shall be
allocated to the Limited Partners. Of each item of Partnership deduction, loss
and credit from operations, 1% shall be allocated to the General Partners and
99% to the Limited Partners.

Net Cash Receipts available for distribution will be distributed 93% to the
Limited Partners and 7% to the General Partners, provided that the General
Partners' share of Net Cash Receipts will be subordinated on a year-by-year
basis to the Limited Partners' receipt of a 7% Preferred Distribution. Net Cash
Receipts available for distribution will be applied first toward the current
year, and then on a year-by-year basis, commencing with the earliest year in
which a deficiency exists or a subordinated amount remains outstanding and
continuing for each year thereafter, to pay any deficiencies in the Limited
Partners' receipt of their Preferred Distribution for such year and/or any
unpaid portion of the General Partners' 7% share of Net Cash Receipts for such
year, provided that the Limited Partners have received their Preferred
Distribution for such year before the General Partners shall receive any
portion of their share of Net Cash Receipts for such year.

When the Partnership sells or refinances its properties, the Net Cash Proceeds
resulting therefrom which are available for distribution shall be distributed
(i) first, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners until the
Limited Partners have received an amount equal to their Original Capital plus
any deficiency in a Cumulative Distribution of 11% per annum for Interests
purchased prior to January 1, 1988, and 9% per annum for Interests purchased on
or after January 1, 1988, provided, however, that the General Partners' 15%
share of Net Cash Proceeds as described below is subordinated to the receipt by
Limited Partners who purchased Interests on or after January 1, 1988, of an
<PAGE>
additional 1% Cumulative Distribution; (ii) next, to pay to the General
Partners an amount equal to their share of Net Cash Receipts which has been
subordinated and is then unpaid; and (iii) then, 85% to the Limited Partners
and 15% to the General Partners.

For Interests purchased prior to June 8, 1988, the commencement date for
computing the Cumulative Distribution and the Preferred Distribution is July 1,
1988. For Interests purchased on or after August 1, 1988, the commencement date
for computing the Cumulative Distribution and the Preferred Distribution is the
first day of the first full calendar quarter after the purchasers of the
Interests became Limited Partners.

4. Management Agreements:

As of December 31, 1995, Post Place Apartments is under a management agreement
with an affiliate of the seller and Salem Courthouse Apartments is under a
management agreement with a third party management company. These management
agreements provide for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.

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 1995 in the financial statements is $188,944 less than the
tax income of the Partnership for the same period.

6. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

                            Year Ended       Year Ended       Year Ended

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, however, the General Partner is reimbursed
<PAGE>
for expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance program
of $15,556, $23,937 and $16,371 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed one
of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third party
in November 1994.

7. Fair Values of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial instruments
at December 31, 1995 are as follows:

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and accrued interest
receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value.

In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $314,475 ($4.25 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the fourth
quarter of 1995.
