Item 1.   BUSINESS

     In December 1995, the Registrant completed the liquidation of its
lease portfolio and ceased its business operations.  Cash from operations
and sales of equipment have been or will be distributed to the Partners to
liquidate the Partnership's business activity. The final distribution is
scheduled to occurred by April 15 1996.  The Partnership was formed in 1985
with a capitalization of $7,500,00.00.  Limited Partner distributions from
the inception of the Partnership to date are as follows;

                                        ==========
</TABLE>
     Distributions noted herein are on an accrual basis of accounting as shown
on the Statement of Partners' Capital. The Registrant has accrued a liquidation
distribution of $243,102 to the limited partners for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 due to be distributed by February 29 1996.   The Registrant's
operating assets were fully liquidated by December 31, 1995, the final year of
operation.  Receivables of $26,143 as of December 31, 1995 were collected by
January 10, 1996.

     Prior to 1992, the Registrant's primary business was to acquire a
diversified portfolio of capital equipment for lease subject to operating
and direct finance leases with terms of 36 to 60 months. The equipment leased
was selected by the lessees and was purchased directly from the manufacturer,
independent third parties and the lessees (via sale lease back transactions).
Operating leases, primarily of data processing equipment, are those in which
the Registrant maintains ownership of the equipment at the end of the lease.
Direct finance leases are those in which the lessee is contractually obligated
to purchase the equipment at a predetermined amount at the end of the lease.
Since the Operating leases did not transfer ownership through a purchase
obligation, the Registrant was actively independent on re-lease or sale of the
equipment to realize a profitable return on its investment in the leased
equipment.

     Prior to 1992, the Registrant reinvested cash in excess of partners
distributions into new lease transactions.  Starting in 1992, the Registrant
began to wind down its leasing operations by returning all cash proceeds from
operations to the partners through quarterly distributions.  During the wind
down or liquidation phase, cash proceeds from the rents, equipment sold and
all available cash from operations have been distributed to the limited
partners in proportion to their respective tax basis capital accounts.

<PAGE>

Competition

     While the Registrant has ceased operations, it has competed in the past
with manufacturer leasing companies, independent leasing companies, affiliates
of banks, commercial credit companies and other leasing partnerships.
Competition with these entities was based primarily on lease rates and terms as
well as the type and amount of equipment. In addition the condition and
relative obsolescence of equipment were major factors in the Partnership's
ability to re-lease or sell its equipment from operating leases and to
realize income for distribution to partners.  Other factors include the demand
for a type of equipment, the cost of maintenance, the availability of
financing, trends in the economy, interest rates, tax laws as well as many other
factors over which neither the Registrant or its competitors had control.

Working Capital
      
      The Partnership maintained cash reserves for normal operating expenses,
working capital and certain leasing costs such as payment of personal property
taxes, refurbishment cost, and repossession costs. The Registrant has no
statistical information to compare its reserves with those of its competitors.
      The Registrant has no employees. Leastec Corporation is performing all
management duties for the Fund. In 1995 the General Partner of the Registrant,
Leastec Corporation, received management fees of six percent (6%) of the
Registrant's gross receipts, or $62,783, for managing the Registrant's
operations.
      The Registrant's revenues, income, and assets for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, are as follows:

      The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the
      audited financial statements and related notes to the financial
      statements appearing in Item 8 of the Form 10-K.
      
      
Item  7.  MANAGEMENT  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
      
      The Partnership has presented its 1995 financial statements to reflect
      its leasing activities on a basis consistent with prior periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
      
1995 Versus 1994

      The Registrant completed ten (10) full years of operations and has
liquidated its operating assets. During the liquidation phase of the
Partnership, all cash flows in excess of partnership expenses were
distributed to the limited partners in proportion to their respective tax
basis capital accounts.
      Operating lease income declined from $431,747 in 1994 to $175,303 in
1995 as a result of the leasing portfolio wind down.
      As operating leases terminated during the year, the equipment returned
from lease was sold. Equipment on lease (subject to operating leases), net of
depreciation decreased from $78,984 at December 31, 1994 to $-0- at
December 31,1995.
      The original cost of the equipment on operating leases declined from
$1,338,858 in 1994 to $-0-in 1995, and consequently, depreciation expense
decreased from $177,462 in 1994 to $78,186 in 1995.
      Rental income from operating leases comprised 73% and 36% of total
revenue in 1994 and 1995, respectively, with interest and other, direct
financing lease income and gain on disposition of equipment and on direct
financing leases making up the remainder. The decline in the percentage of
income derived from operating leases reflects the Registrant's effort to invest
in finance leases, the decrease in the investment inequipment subject to
operating leases and termination of partnership operations.
     The Registrant recorded a net gain on disposition of equipment and
direct financing leases of $259,430 in 1995 and $45,452 in 1994.
      Management fees increased slightly from $61,163 in 1994 to $62,783 in
1995, primarily due to the increase in gain on sale offsetting the declining
rental revenues. Management fees are dependent on both operating and direct
financing lease income. As previously mentioned, income derived from operating
leases has decreased due to a decrease in the size of the lease portfolio.
      Direct services from general partners increased from $73,510 in 1994 to
$101,478 in 1995.  Direct services are the administrative and personnel costs
(payroll) incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The increase in this final
year is attributed to the accrual of additional expenses associated with the
closing and dissolution of the Partnership. Included in these expenses are the
costs of the final audit, tax reporting, financial reporting, withdrawal as a
business entity from the various states, as well as the cost of preparing the
final investor reporting and cash distribution
      General and administrative expenses decreased from $133.080 in 1994 to
$98,456 in 1995. This decrease reflected the decrease in the cost related to
the sales and disposition of equipment and leases.
      Total operating expenses decreased from $474,438 in 1994 to $342,698 in
1995.  A substantial portion of the decrease relates to the reduction of
depreciation expense on the operating lease portfolio. Depreciation expense
comprised 37% of total expenses in 1994 compared to 23% in 1995.
      The foregoing factors resulted in the Registrant reporting a net income
of $147,440 for 1995 ($4.94 per weighted average Limited Partner Unit) compared
to $120,041 for 1994 ($4.02 per weighted average Limited Partner Unit).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Operating activities provided the Registrant with cash flows of $196,258
in 1994 compared to cash used in operating activities of  $53,649 in 1995. The
decrease from year to year is a result of the decline in operating lease income
due to the planned liquidation of the Partnership.
      During 1995, investing activities provided cash from the collections of
moneys from direct financing leases. The sale of equipment related to direct
financing leases provided cash in the amount of $6,000 in 1994 and $210,810 in
1995. Cash proceeds from the disposition of equipment from operating leases
were $256,442 in 1995 and $60,594 in 1994.  The  net assets of the
Partnership were fully liquidated at December 31, 1995.
      During 1994, financing activities used cash to repay notes payable, which
amounted to $210,338, and to make distributions to Limited Partners, which
amounted to $479,993.  In 1995, financing activities used cash to repay notes
payable in the amount of $115,580 and to make distributions to the Limited
Partners totaling $445,000.
      Operating lease income declined from $431,747in 1994 to $175,303 in 1995
due to the cessation of leasing activities.
      The cash position as of December 31, 1995 was $339,506.  This remaining
cash will be used to pay closing expenses and an accrued distribution to the
limited partners of $243,102.  At December 31, 1995 the Registrant held no
equipment.

1994 versus 1993
      
      Operating lease income declined from $571,796 in 1993 to $431,747 in
1994 as the investment in leases has decreased as a result of the leasing
portfolio wind down. 
      The Registrant entered into direct financing leases with equipment
totaling $167,288 in 1993 and  $0 in 1994. The Registrant did not enter into
any operating leases in 1993 or 1994. As operating leases terminated during
the year, the equipment returning from lease was sold.  Equipment on lease
(subject to operating leases), net of depreciation decreased from $271,588 at
December 31, 1993 to $78,984 at December 31, 1994.
      The original cost of the equipment on operating leases declined from
$1,764,399 in 1993 to $1,338,858 in 1994, and consequently, depreciatiom
expense decreased from $396,765 in 1993 to $177,462 in 1994.
      Rental income from operating leases comprised 75% and 73% of total
revenue in 1993 and 1994, respectively, with interest and other, direct
financing lease income and gain on disposition of equipment or on direct
financing leases making up the remainder. The decline in the percentage of
income derived from operating leases reflects the Registrant's effort to invest
in finance leases and the decrease in the investment in equipment subject to
operating leases.
      There was no provision for decline in market value of equipment held for
sale during the years ending 1993 or 1994.  Most of the assets held for sale
at that time were fully depreciated or in line with their current market value.
The Registrant recorded a net gain on disposition of equipment and direct
financing leases of $40,080 in 1994 and a net loss of $14,703 in 1993.
      Management fees decreased from $89,820 in 1993 to $61,163 in 1994.
Management fees are dependent on both operating and direct financing lease
income. As previously mentioned, income derived from operating leases has
decreased due to a decrease in the size of the lease portfolio.
      Direct services from general partners decreased from $77,463 in 1993 to
$73,510 in 1994. Direct services are the administrative and personnel costs
(payroll) incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The decrease from year to year
is attributed to the decrease in the cost related to the sales of operating
lease equipment as well as reducing the staffing requirements needed to
manage the leasing activities.
      General and administrative expenses increased  slightly from $116,800 in
1993 to $133,080 in 1994. This increase reflected a one time marketing cost for
re-leasing equipment subject to operating leases.
     Total operating expenses decreased from $747,462 in 1993 to $474,438 in
1994. The majority of the decrease relates to the reduction of depreciation
expense on the operating lease portfolio. Depreciation expense comprised 53%
of total expenses in 1993 compared to 37% in 1994.
      The foregoing factors resulted in the Registrant reporting a net income
of $120,041 for 1994 ($4.02 per weighted average Limited Partner Unit) compared
to $18,039 for 1993 ($.60 per weighted average Limited Partner Unit).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Operating activities provided the Registrant with cash flows of $412,375
in 1993 and $196,258 in 1994. The decrease from year to year is a result of the
decline in operating lease income due to the planned liquidation of the
Partnership.
      During 1993 and 1994, investing activities provided cash from the
collections of moneys from direct financing leases.  The net investment in
direct financing leases decreased by $576,648 during 1993 and by $422,912
during 1994. The sale of equipment related to direct financing leases provided
cash in the amount of $126,017 in 1993 and $6,000  in 1994. Cash used
in investing activities of $167,288 in 1993 consisted of direct finance leases
committed to during 1993 but not completed until 1993 compared to no cash used
in investing activities in 1994. Cash proceeds from the disposition of
equipment from operating leases were $60,594 in 1994 and $45,206 in 1993.  The
Registrant intends to liquidate the net assets of the Partnership by the end of
1996.
      During 1993, financing activities used cash to repay notes payable, which
amounted to $185,857, and to make distributions to Limited Partners, which
amounted to $1,100,000. In 1994, financing activities used cash to repay notes
payable in the amount of $210,338 and to make distributions to the Limited
Partners totaling $479,993.

The Partners
Leastec Income Fund 1985-I:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Leastec Income Fund
1985-I (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Partnership
discontinued operations on December 31, 1995 and intends to make the
final liquidating cash distribution to the partners in 1996.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Leastec
Income Fund 1985-I (a California limited partnership) as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     -----------------------------------------------------------

    (a)  Organization
         ------------
         Leastec Income Fund 1985-1 (the Partnership) was formed on
         November 1, 1984 and commenced operations on March 6, 1985 as a
         California limited partnership.  The Partnership was formed
         primarily for the purpose of purchasing, holding, leasing and
         selling peripheral computer equipment.

         The Partnership leases to various companies in a variety of industries
         throughout the United States.  The Partnership's operations consisted
         of direct financing leases and operating leases.

         The Partnership's general partner is Leastec Corporation (Leastec).  
         Leastec manages the Partnership, including investment of funds,
         purchase and sale of equipment, lease negotiation and other
         administrative duties.

         The Partnership ceased operations and prepared for a final liquidating
         cash distribution as of December 31, 1995.  In accordance with the
         Partnership agreement, the general partner will distribute the net
         assets of the Partnership based on the limited partners' tax basis
         capital accounts.  Provision has been made in the financial
         statements for expenses necessary to complete the liquidation of the
         Partnership.
  
    (b)  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
         -------------------------------
         The Partnership provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for
         receivables deemed uncollectible.  Allowance for doubtful accounts
         of $0 and $5,736 was recorded at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.
  
    (c)  Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases
         -----------------------------------------
         Net investment in direct financing leases is the total of the future
         minimum lease payments and the guaranteed residual value accruing to
         the benefit of the lessor at the end of the lease term less the
         unearned income in the lease.
  
         Generally, the leases are secured by the equipment on lease.  In the
         event of a default on a lease, the Partnership has the right to
         foreclose on the assets leased.  Assets acquired in the foreclosure
         are recorded at the lesser of the net investment in the direct
         financing lease or their estimated fair value as of the date of the
         foreclosure.  Gains or losses from subsequent disposition of the
         assets are recorded at the date of sale.
  
                                                                  (Continued)
                                                                         F-8

                        Notes to Financial Statements
                                      
                Years ended December 31,  1995, 1994 and 1993


(1)  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------  

    (d)  Equipment on Operating Leases
         ----------------------------  
         Equipment on operating leases is recorded at cost less accumulated
         depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated on  the straight-line method
         over the estimated useful lives of the equipment ranging from two to
         seven years.  The estimated useful lives of equipment on operating
         leases and depreciation rates are adjusted to reflect changes in the
         estimated salvage value of the equipment at the end of the related
         leases caused by technological advances or other market change
         during the lease term.
  
    (e)  Recognition of Lease Income
         ---------------------------  
         Operating leases income is recognized ratably over the lease term.
  
         Unearned income on direct financing leases is recognized as revenue
         over the lease term at a constant rate of return on the net
         investment in the lease.
  
    (f)  Income Taxes
         ------------
         No provision is made for income taxes since the Partnership is not a
         taxable entity.  Individual partners report their allocable share of
         partnership taxable income or loss.
  
    (g)  Cash Equivalents
         ----------------   
         For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership
         considers all investments with an initial maturity at date of
         purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
  
    (h)  Net Income Per Weighted Average Limited Partner Unit
         ----------------------------------------------------
         Net income per weighted average limited partner unit is computed by
         dividing net income allocated to the limited partners ($147,440 in
         1995, $120,041 in 1994 and $18,039 in 1993) by the weighted average
         number of limited partner units outstanding during the year (29,856
         in 1995, 1994 and 1993).

    (i)  Estimates
         --------- 
         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the
         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
         revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
         could differ from those estimates.

                                                                 (Continued)

                Years ended December 31,  1995, 1994 and 1993
                                      

(5)  Cash Distributions and Allocations of Profits and Losses
     --------------------------------------------------------

    (a)  Cash Distributions
         ------------------
         Cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership
         agreement, is distributed first to the general partner in an amount
         sufficient to restore their capital account to equal their initial
         capital contribution.   Second, to the general partner equal to 15%
         of cumulative net income less cumulative distributions as of the
         beginning of each fiscal year.  To the extent cumulative distributions
         to the general partner exceed cumulative net income allocated to the
         general partner, no distribution is made.  The remaining cash
         available for distribution is allocated to the limited partners.

         Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, limited partners
         may elect to reinvest their share of cash distributions in their
         capital accounts.

         Upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, in the event the
         general partner's  capital account is less than zero, the general
         partner shall contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the
         deficit balance in its capital account.

         Cash distributions of $325,000 relating to the 1995 financial year of
         operations of the Partnership were made to the limited partners.  In
         accordance with the Partnership agreement, a liquidating distribution
         of $243,102 was declared and accrued to bring the limited partners
         capital account to zero.  Under the Partnership agreement, the general
         partner's capital account was reduced to zero as the general partner
         was not entitled to any liquidating distributions.
 
    (b)  Profit and Loss Allocations
         ---------------------------
         The general partner is allocated profits equal to their cash
         distributions, or to the extent of prior allocated losses.  Remaining
         profits, if any, are allocated to the limited partners.

         Net losses are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
         general partner.

                                                                (Continued)

          for administrative and personnel costs incurred by the General
          Partner on behalf of the Registrant. Such expenses totaled $101,478
          in 1995 Profits are allocated first to the General Partner to restore
