BALCOR PREFERRED PENSION-12 A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Balcor Preferred Pension - 12 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed in 1987 to invest in first mortgage loans, wrap-around mortgage loans and other junior mortgage loans. The Partnership raised $29,270,800 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to invest in four loans. The Partnership subsequently reclassified its investment in two of these loans in which it held minority participations to investment in joint ventures with affiliates. In addition, one of the loans was repaid. As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had an investment in one participating first mortgage loan and two joint venture investments in real estate in its portfolio. 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 1995 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial position. Summary of Operations - --------------------- The Partnership's net income increased slightly during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1996 Compared to 1995 - --------------------- Discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer to the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. As a result of lower interest rates and lower average cash balances due to the special distribution to Limited Partners in July 1995, interest income on short-term investments decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. Primarily as a result of lower accounting and professional fees, administrative expenses decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995. Provisions are charged to income when the General Partner believes an impairment has occurred to the value of its joint venture properties or in the borrower's ability to repay the loan or in the value of the collateral property. Determinations of fair value are made periodically on the basis of performance under the terms of the loan agreement and assessments of property operations. Determinations of fair value represent estimations based on many variables which affect the value of real estate, including economic and demographic conditions. The Partnership recognized no provisions during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 related to its loan. Participation in joint ventures with affiliates represents the Partnership's share of the income or loss for the Sun Lake Apartments and the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. Primarily as a result of lower interior maintenance and repairs and legal expenses at the 45 West 45th Street Office Building, participation in income of joint ventures with affiliates increased during 1996 as compared to 1995. Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------- The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $293,000 as of March 31, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, cash flow of approximately $42,000 was provided by the Partnership's operating activities, which included mortgage payments on the loan receivable and interest income on short-term investments, which were partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. Investing activities included a capital contribution made to the Sun Lake Apartments joint venture of approximately $243,000, related primarily to the Partnership's share of the costs of the property's 1995 bond refunding. Investing activities also included a distribution received from the 45 West 45th Street Office Building joint venture of approximately $87,000. Financing activities consisted of the quarterly distribution to the Partners of approximately $180,000. The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of the properties in which it has a joint venture interest as either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit. A deficit is considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from the properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures, which include any debt service payments. The 45 West 45th Street Office Building, which does not have any underlying debt, generated positive cash flow during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to a marginal cash flow deficit during the same period in 1995 due to lower interior maintenance and repairs and legal expenses at the property. In addition, significant leasing costs were incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 at the property. These items were not included in classifying the cash flow performance of the property since they are nonrecurring expenditures. Had these costs been included, the property would have generated a significant cash flow deficit for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The occupancy rate of this property was 86% at March 31, 1996. The Sun Lake Apartments, which has an underlying first mortgage loan, generated positive cash flow during the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The occupancy rate of the property was 98% at March 31, 1996. 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. As previously reported, the General Partner believes that the market for multi- family housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. Currently, the General Partner is actively marketing the Sun Lake Apartments, in which the Partnership has a joint venture interest. Additionally, the General Partner is currently marketing the 45 West 45th Street Office Building for sale. The Partnership also holds a joint venture interest in this property. The General Partner examines each property individually by property type and market in determining the optimal time to sell each property. In addition, the General Partner considers capital factors and Partnership administrative costs as it pertains to Partnership performance. The Noland Fashion Square loan has been recorded by the Partnership as an investment in acquisition loan. The Partnership has recorded its share of the collateral property's operations as equity in loss from investment in acquisition loan. The Partnership's share of operations has no effect on the cash flow of the Partnership. Amounts representing contractually required debt service are recorded as interest income on loans. In April 1996, the Partnership paid $234,166 ($.80 per Interest) to Limited Partners, representing the distribution for the first quarter of 1996 from Cash Flow, as well as $1,340,603 ($4.58 per Interest), representing a special distribution of a portion of the Mortgage Reductions received in connection with the repayment of the Skyline Village Mobile Home Park loan. The level of the regular quarterly distribution increased from $.60 per Interest to $.80 per Interest as compared to the prior quarter as a result of improved cash flow from the operations of the 45 West 45th Street Office Building. The Partnership also paid $6,004 to the General Partner as its unsubordinated distributive share of Cash Flow for the first quarter of 1996. To date, including the April 1996 distribution, the Partnership has distributed $55.87 per $100 Limited Partnership Interest, of which $37.92 represents Cash Flow from operations and $17.95 represents Original Capital. The Partnership expects to continue making quarterly cash distributions from available Cash Flow. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, ninety-five percent of such Cash Flow will be distributed to Limited Partners, and five percent will be distributed to the General Partner as its share from Partnership operations, subject to certain subordinations. Cash available for distribution will be determined by the General Partner after it creates any reserves or makes expenditures appropriate for the operation of the Partnership. There is no assurance that the Partnership will generate Cash Flow or that, if generated, it will be available for distribution or be sufficient to provide a return of Original Capital, the Warranty Distribution or the Cumulative Return. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, $6,004, which represents one-half of the General Partner's share of distributed Cash Flow, was subordinated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Changing interest rates can impact real estate values in several ways. Generally, declining interest rates may lower the cost of capital allowing buyers to pay more for a property whereas rising interest rates may increase the cost of capital and lower the price of real estate. Lower interest rates may increase the probability that the borrower may seek prepayment of the Partnership's loan whereas rising interest rates decrease the yields on the loan and make prepayment less likely. 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.

Legal Proceedings - --------------------------- Paul Williams, et al. vs. Balcor Pension Investors, et al. - ---------------------------------------------------------- In February 1990, a proposed class-action complaint was filed, Paul Williams and Beverly Kennedy, et al. vs. Balcor Pension Investors, et al., Case No.: 90-C-0726 (U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois).

The Court approved the Notice of Class Action in August 1995 which was sent to potential members of the class in September 1995. Settlement discussions among the parties are currently on-going but no final settlement has been reached. There can be no assurance, however, that such settlement discussions will ultimately be successful. Item 6.
