                     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 1996, the Partnership sold one of its minority joint venture
interests and one property, and, in prior years, sold two properties and one of
its minority joint venture interests and relinquished an additional property
through foreclosure. The Partnership continues to operate the remaining six
real property investments and owns one minority joint venture interest.

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.

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

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

The Partnership recognized a gain related to the March 1996 sale of the
Willowbend Apartments which was the primary reason for the increase in net
income in 1996 as compared to 1995. The increase in net income was partially
offset by a decrease in participation in income of joint ventures with
affiliates in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the gain recognized in connection
with the 1995 sale of the Pinebrook Apartments, which was owned by a joint
venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. 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.

Due to lower average cash balances, resulting primarily from distributions to
Limited Partners in the third quarter of 1995, as well as lower interest rates,
interest income on short-term investments decreased in 1996 as compared to
1995.
<PAGE>
Pinebrook Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture
interest, was sold during February 1995. As a result of the gain recognized
during 1995 in connection with the sale, the Partnership recognized a decrease
in income from participation in joint ventures with affiliates in 1996 when
compared to 1995. The gain recognized in February 1996 from the sale of
Seabrook Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture
interest, partially offset this decrease.

In May 1995, the Boulder Springs Apartments mortgage loan was refinanced and
the interest rate decreased. As a result, interest expense on mortgage notes
payable decreased in 1996 when compared to 1995. 

In 1996, the Partnership incurred higher insurance costs and expenditures for
floor coverings at several of the Partnership's properties. As a result,
property operating expense increased in 1996 as compared to 1995.

In March 1996, the Partnership recognized a $4,627,131 gain related to the sale
of Willowbend Apartments. In addition, the Partnership recognized extraordinary
debt extinguishment expense of $251,004 comprised of a prepayment penalty and
the full amortization of deferred expenses related to the repayment of the
mortgage loan in connection with the sale. 

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

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $3,253,000 as
of March 31, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995 due primarily to the net
proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Willowbend Apartments. The
Partnership's cash flow provided by operating activities of approximately
$728,000, was generated primarily from the Partnership's properties, and was
partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses. The Partnership's
net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $9,842,000,
primarily consisted of the net proceeds received from the sale of the
Willowbend Apartments. Cash of approximately $7,318,000 was used in the
Partnership's financing activities primarily for the repayment of the
Willowbend Apartments mortgage loan, principal payments on mortgage notes
payable, and distributions to 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 unless otherwise indicated. 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 1996 and 1995, all six of the
Partnership's remaining properties generated positive cash flow. The Willowbend
Apartments was sold in March 1996 and generated positive cash flow in 1996 and
1995. For the remaining property in which the Partnership holds a minority
joint venture interest, North Hill Apartments generated positive cash flow
during 1996 and 1995. Seabrook Apartments, in which the Partnership held a
minority joint venture interest, was sold in February 1996 and generated  
marginal cash flow deficits in 1996 and 1995. Pinebrook Apartments, in which
the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, was sold in February
1995 and generated a significant cash flow deficit in 1995. As of March 31,
<PAGE>
1996, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's properties ranged from 93% to
99%. 

While the cash flow of certain of the Partnership's properties has improved,
the General Partner continues to pursue a number of actions aimed at improving
the cash flow of the Partnership's properties including improving operating
performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. 

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. During
February and March 1996, the Partnership sold Seabrook Apartments, in which it
held a minority joint venture interest, and Willowbend Apartments,
respectively. Currently, the Partnership has a contract to sell Forest Ridge
Apartments for a sales price of $11,600,000, is preparing to market three
properties for sale and is marketing two additional properties. In addition,
the General Partner has entered into negotiations for a contract to sell the
North Hill Apartments in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture
interest. If current market conditions remain favorable and the General Partner
can obtain appropriate sales prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy may
be accelerated.

During February 1996, Seabrook Apartments, which was owned by a joint venture  
consisting of the Partnership and two affiliates, was sold in an all cash sale
for $5,915,000. From the proceeds, $5,081,898 was paid in full satisfaction of
the first mortgage loan. Net proceeds received from this transaction were
$642,585, of which $103,770 was the Partnership's share. See Note 4 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.  

In March 1996, the Partnership sold the Willowbend Apartments in a cash sale
for $9,985,000. From the sales proceeds, the Partnership paid $5,790,869 to the
third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, as
well as other closing costs. The Partnership received $3,709,904 of net
proceeds. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
information.

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. As a result of the General
Partner's efforts to obtain loan refinancings, the Partnership has no
third-party financing which matures before 2001. 

In April 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $620,228 ($7.50 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing the
quarterly distribution for the first quarter of 1996. The quarterly
distribution remained constant compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.
Including the April 1996 distribution, Limited Partners have received
cumulative cash distributions of $97.50 per $1,000 Interest as well as certain
tax benefits. Of this amount, $68.50 has been from Net Cash Receipts and $29.00
has been from Net Cash Proceeds. 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 and proceeds from future property sales, as to both of
which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date and current
market conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will
recover all of their original investment. 
<PAGE>
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.
