4. Investment in Joint Venture With Affiliate:

Pinebrook Apartments was acquired by a joint venture consisting of the
Partnership and an affiliate. The Partnership and the affiliate hold
participating percentages in the joint venture of 48.43% and 51.57%,
respectively. In February 1995, the joint venture sold the property for a sale
price of $6,140,000. From the proceeds of the sale, $5,058,226 was paid to the
third party mortgage holders in satisfaction of the first, second and fourth
mortgage loans, as well as a brokerage commission and other closing costs. The
joint venture recognized a gain of $1,814,970 from the sale of this property,
of which $780,279 was the Partnership's share. Total proceeds received from the
sale of this property were $871,599, of which $422,115 was the Partnership's
share. This amount, net of its share of the first quarter operating deficit, is
included in accounts receivable in the financial statements at March 31, 1995.
The Partnership's share of the gain is included in "Participation in income of
joint ventures with affiliates" and is partially offset by the Partnership's
share of operating losses through the sale date.

5. Subsequent Event:

In April 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $413,485 ($5.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the first quarter
of 1995.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Balcor Realty Investors 85 - Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") was formed in 1983 to invest in and operate income-producing
real property. The Partnership raised $82,697,000 through the sale of Limited
Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire ten real property
investments and minority joint venture interests in three additional
properties. During 1995, the Partnership sold one of its minority joint venture
interests, and in prior years, sold two of the properties and relinquished one
of the properties through foreclosure. The Partnership continues to operate the
remaining seven real property investments and two minority joint venture
interests.

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
- - ---------------------

The Pinebrook Apartments, which is owned by a joint venture consisting of the
Partnership and an affiliate, was sold in February 1995. The Partnership
recognized its share of the gain on sale which is the primary reason the
Partnership generated higher net income in 1995 as compared to 1994. In
addition, the Partnership had improved operations at certain of the
Partnership's properties. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------
 
Increased rental and/or occupancy rates at five of the Partnership's seven
remaining properties and cable access fees received at two properties caused an
increase in rental and service income for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.

The increase in cash flow from the Partnership's properties and the net
proceeds received in connection with the refinancing of the underlying mortgage
loan on Heather Ridge Apartments in 1994 caused the Partnership's cash balances
to increase. This, together with higher interest rates, resulted in an increase
in interest income on short-term investments during the quarter ended March 31,
1995 when compared to the same period in 1994.
<PAGE>
Property operating expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as a result of a decrease in
carpet replacement expenses at six of the Partnership's seven properties.

Pinebrook Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture
interest, was sold during February 1995. As a result of the gain recognized in
connection with the sale, the Partnership recognized income from participation
in joint ventures with affiliates during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to a loss during the same period in 1994.

During 1995, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of
debt of $41,798 in connection with the settlement reached with the seller of
Templeton Park Apartments.

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

The cash position of the Partnership remained relatively unchanged as of March
31, 1995 as compared to December 31, 1994. The Partnership's cash flow provided
by operating activities was generated primarily from the Partnership's
properties, and was partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses.
The Partnership received cash flow from investing activities which consisted of
a net distribution from its joint ventures with affiliates. Cash provided by
operating and investing activities was used to fund financing activities, which
consisted of principal payments on mortgage notes payable and distributions to
the Limited 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. 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 its properties
as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related
expenditures, which include debt service payments. During the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, all seven of the Partnership's properties generated
positive cash flow. Of the remaining two properties in which the Partnership
holds minority joint venture interests, the North Hill Apartments generated
positive cash flow during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1994. The
Seabrook Apartments generated a marginal cash flow deficit during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to positive cash flow for the same period in
1994 primarily due to an increase in the interest rate on its mortgage note
payable.

While the cash flow of certain of the Partnership's remaining properties has
improved, the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at
further improving the cash flow of the Partnership's properties including
refinancing of mortgage loans, improving property operating performance, and
seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. As of March 31, 1995, the
occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 91% to 97%. Despite
recent improvements in the local economies and rental markets where certain of
the Partnership's properties are located, the General Partner believes that
continued ownership of many of the properties is in the best interest of the
Partnership in order to maximize potential returns to Limited Partners. As a
result, the Partnership will continue to own these properties for longer than
the holding period for the assets originally described in the prospectus.
<PAGE>
Each of the Partnership's properties is owned through the use of third-party
mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the
financial obligations required by such loans. The $7,787,000 Boulder Springs
mortgage loan matures in June 1995 and the Partnership is currently pursuing a
refinancing of this loan. In certain instances it may be difficult for the
Partnership to refinance a loan secured by a property in an amount sufficient
to retire in full the current mortgage financing with respect to the property.
In the event negotiations with the existing lender for a loan modification or
with new lenders for a refinancing are unsuccessful, the Partnership may sell
the collateral property or other properties to satisfy an obligation or may
relinquish title to the collateral property in satisfaction of the outstanding
mortgage loan balance.

The Pinebrook Apartments was owned by Pinebrook Investors, a joint venture
consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In February 1995, Pinebrook
Investors sold the property in a cash sale for $6,140,000. From the proceeds,
Pinebrook investors paid $5,058,226 to the third party mortgage holders in
satisfaction of the first, second and fourth mortgage loans. Additionally,
Pinebrook Investors paid $716,729 in satisfaction of the third mortgage note
payable to Pinebrook Limited Partnership, a separate joint venture consisting
of the Partnership and the affiliate. Total proceeds received from this
transaction were $871,599, of which $422,115 was the Partnership's share. See
Note 4 of Notes of Financial Statements for additional information.

In April 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $413,485 ($5.00 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests for the first quarter
of 1995. To date, investors have received Net Cash Receipt distributions of
$15.00 per $1,000 Interest as well as certain tax benefits. The General Partner
expects to continue quarterly distributions to Limited Partners. However, the
level of future distributions, if available, will depend on cash flow from the
Partnership's remaining properties, the successful refinancing of certain
mortgage loans and proceeds from future property sales, as to all of which
there can be no assurances.

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.
