(1)The   condensed  statements  included  herein  have  been
   prepared  by the Partnership, without audit, and  reflect
   all  adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
   necessary   to  a  fair  statement  of  the  results   of
   operations  for the interim period, on a basis consistent
   with  the  annual  audited statements.   The  adjustments
   made  to  these  condensed  statements  consist  only  of
   normal   recurring  adjustments.   Certain   information,
   accounting  policies,  and footnote disclosures  normally
   included  in financial statements prepared in  accordance
   with  generally accepted accounting principles have  been
   condensed   or  omitted  pursuant  to  such   rules   and
   regulations, although the Partnership believes  that  the
   disclosures   are   adequate  to  make  the   information
   presented  not  misleading.  It is suggested  that  these
   condensed  financial  statements be read  in  conjunction
   with   the  financial  statements  and  the  summary   of
   significant   accounting  policies  and   notes   thereto
   included  in  the Partnership's latest annual  report  on
   Form 10-KSB.

(2)Organization -
  
    AEI   Real   Estate   Fund   85-A  Limited   Partnership
     (Partnership)   was   formed  to  acquire   and   lease
     commercial   properties  to  operating  tenants.    The
     Partnership's  operations  are  managed  by  Net  Lease
     Management  85-A,  Inc.  (NLM),  the  Managing  General
     Partner  of  the Partnership.  Robert P.  Johnson,  the
     President  and sole shareholder of NLM, serves  as  the
     Individual  General  Partner of  the  Partnership.   An
     affiliate  of NLM, AEI Fund Management, Inc.,  performs
     the  administrative  and operating  functions  for  the
     Partnership.
  
    The  terms  of  the  Partnership  offering  call  for  a
     subscription  price  of $1,000 per Limited  Partnership
     Unit,   payable  on  acceptance  of  the  offer.    The
     Partnership commenced operations on April 15, 1985 when
     minimum  subscriptions  of  1,300  Limited  Partnership
     Units  ($1,300,000) were accepted.   The  Partnership's
     offering  terminated on June 20, 1985 when the  maximum
     subscription  limit of 7,500 Limited Partnership  Units
     ($7,500,000) was reached.
  
    Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership  Agreement,
     the  Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed
     funds  of $7,500,000 and $1,000, respectively.   During
     the operation of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow, as
     defined,  which  the  General  Partners  determine   to
     distribute  will  be  distributed 90%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and  10%  to the General Partners;  provided,
     however,   that  such  distributions  to  the   General
     Partners  will be subordinated to the Limited  Partners
     first  receiving an annual, noncumulative  distribution
     of Net Cash Flow equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital
     Contribution,  as defined, and, provided further,  that
     in no event will the General Partners receive less than
     1%  of such Net Cash Flow per annum.  Distributions  to
     Limited Partners will be made pro rata by Units.

(2)Organization - (Continued)
  
     Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale  or
     financing  of  the Partnership's properties  which  the
     General  Partners determine to distribute  will,  after
     provisions  for  debts and reserves,  be  paid  in  the
     following  manner:  (i)  first,  99%  to  the   Limited
     Partners  and  1%  to  the General Partners  until  the
     Limited Partners receive an amount equal to: (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount  equal
     to 6% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum,
     cumulative  but  not  compounded,  to  the  extent  not
     previously  distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii)  next,
     99%  to  the  Limited Partners and 1%  to  the  General
     Partners  until the Limited Partners receive an  amount
     equal to 14% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per
     annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  distributed; (iii)  next,  to  the  General
     Partners until cumulative distributions to the  General
     Partners  under  Items  (ii) and  (iii)  equal  15%  of
     cumulative  distributions to all Partners  under  Items
     (ii)   and  (iii).   Any  remaining  balance  will   be
     distributed 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to  the
     General   Partners.   Distributions  to   the   Limited
     Partners will be made pro rata by Units.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits from operations, other  than
     profits  attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
     refinancing  or other disposition of the  Partnership's
     property, will be allocated first in the same ratio  in
     which,  and to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed
     to  the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits
     will  be allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and  10%
     to the General Partners.  In the event no Net Cash Flow
     is  distributed to the Limited Partners,  90%  of  each
     item  of  Partnership income, gain or credit  for  each
     respective  year  shall  be allocated  to  the  Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be allocated
     to  the  General Partners.  Net losses from  operations
     will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to
     the General Partners.
     
     For  tax  purposes,  profits  arising  from  the  sale,
     financing,  or  other disposition of the  Partnership's
     property  will  be  allocated in  accordance  with  the
     Partnership Agreement as follows: (i) first,  to  those
     Partners   with  deficit  balances  in  their   capital
     accounts in an amount equal to the sum of such  deficit
     balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Partners  and
     1%  to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
     in  the  Limited Partners' capital accounts equals  the
     sum   of   the   Limited  Partners'  Adjusted   Capital
     Contributions  plus an amount equal  to  14%  of  their
     Adjusted  Capital  Contributions per annum,  cumulative
     but  not  compounded,  to  the  extent  not  previously
     allocated;  (iii) third, to the General Partners  until
     cumulative  allocations to the General  Partners  equal
     15%  of  cumulative allocations.  Any remaining balance
     will  be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners and  15%
     to  the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated 98%
     to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners.
     
     The General Partners are not required to currently fund
     a  deficit  capital  balance. Upon liquidation  of  the
     Partnership  or  withdrawal by a General  Partner,  the
     General Partners will contribute to the Partnership  an
     amount  equal to the lesser of the deficit balances  in
     their capital accounts or 1% of total Limited Partners'
     and General Partners' capital contributions.

(3)Investments in Real Estate -

     In  February,  1994, the Partnership sold 4,899  square
     feet  of  land from the Perkins' property  in  Bozeman,
     Montana  pursuant to a Right of Way Agreement with  the
     State  of  Montana  Department of Transportation.   The
     Partnership received net sale proceeds of $36,605 which
     resulted in a net gain of $5,641.  The original cost of
     the parcel of land was $30,964.
     
     On   September  19,  1994,  the  Partnership  sold  the
     remainder of the Perkins' property to the lessee.   The
     Partnership  received net sale proceeds  of  $1,227,101
     which resulted in a net gain of $632,338.  At the  time
     of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of    the   property   was   $796,901   and   $202,138,
     respectively.  In February, 1995, the Managing  General
     Partner filed a proxy statement to propose an Amendment
     to  the Limited Partnership Agreement that would  allow
     the  Partnership  to  reinvest  the  net  proceeds   in
     additional  properties.  The Amendment  passed  with  a
     majority of Units voting in favor of the Amendment.
     
     On  March  20, 1995, the Partnership sold the  Hardee's
     restaurant  in  Sierra Vista, Arizona to  an  unrelated
     third   party.   The  Partnership  received  net   sale
     proceeds of $296,020, which resulted in a net  loss  of
     $166,000, which was recognized in the fourth quarter of
     1994.
     
     On July 19, 1995, the Partnership sold the Fair Muffler
     in   Ashwaubenon,   Wisconsin  to  the   lessee.    The
     Partnership  received  net sale proceeds  of  $299,874,
     which resulted in a net gain of $130,181.  At the  time
     of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of the property was $230,134 and $60,441, respectively.
     
     On  August 28, 1995, the Partnership sold the  Hardee's
     restaurant  in  Wayne, Nebraska  to  the  lessee.   The
     Partnership  received  net sales proceeds  of  $474,530
     which resulted in a net gain of $150,989.  At the  time
     of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of    the   property   was   $447,944   and   $124,403,
     respectively.
     
     During 1995, the Partnership distributed $61,880 of the
     net  sale  proceeds to the Partners as  part  of  their
     regular  quarterly distributions, which  represented  a
     return  of  capital  of $8.60 per  Limited  Partnership
     Unit.  The majority of the remaining net proceeds  will
     be reinvested in additional properties.
     
     In   July,  1995,  the  Partnership  entered   into   a
     commitment  to  purchase  an Applebee's  restaurant  in
     Harlingen,   Texas.   The  purchase   price   will   be
     approximately $1,260,000.  The property will be  leased
     to  Renaissant  Development Corporation under  a  Lease
     Agreement  with a primary term of 20 years  and  annual
     rental payments of approximately $145,000.
     
     In  October,  1995,  the Partnership  entered  into  an
     agreement to purchase a Tractor Supply Company Store in
     Maryville,  Tennessee.   The  purchase  price  will  be
     approximately $1,050,000.  The property will be  leased
     to  Tractor Supply Company under a Lease Agreement with
     a  primary term of 14 years and annual rental  payments
     of approximately $113,000.

(4)Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative
     and  operating  functions  for  the  Partnership.   The
     payable  to AEI Fund Management represents the  balance
     due  for  those services.  This balance is non-interest
     bearing  and unsecured and is to be paid in the  normal
     course of business.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

       The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-
term  Lease Agreements on the Partnership's properties.   In
March,  1995,  the Partnership recognized  $7,981  from  the
lessee of the Fair Muffler in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin,  as  a
result  of  an  increase in sales for the lease  year  ended
December  31, 1994.  Rental income decreased in  1995,  when
compared  to  the same periods in 1994, due to the  property
sales  discussed below.  The decrease in rental  income  was
partially  offset by additional investment income earned  on
the net proceeds from the property sales.

        In February, 1994, the Partnership sold 4,899 square
feet  of  land from the Perkins property in Bozeman, Montana
pursuant  to  a  Right of Way Agreement with  the  State  of
Montana   Department  of  Transportation.   The  Partnership
received  net sale proceeds of $36,605 which resulted  in  a
net gain of $5,641.  The original cost of the parcel of land
was $30,964.

        On  September  19,  1994, the Partnership  sold  the
remainder  of  the  Perkins' property to  the  lessee.   The
Partnership  received net sale proceeds of $1,227,101  which
resulted  in a net gain of $632,338.  At the time  of  sale,
the   cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the
property  was  $796,901  and  $202,138,  respectively.    In
February, 1995, the Managing General Partner filed  a  proxy
statement to propose an Amendment to the Limited Partnership
Agreement  that would allow the Partnership to reinvest  the
net proceeds in additional properties.  The Amendment passed
with a majority of Units voting in favor of the Amendment.

        On March 20, 1995, the Partnership sold the Hardee's
restaurant  in  Sierra Vista, Arizona to an unrelated  third
party.   The  Partnership  received  net  sale  proceeds  of
$296,020,  which  resulted in a net loss of $166,000,  which
was recognized in the fourth quarter of 1994.

        On  July  19,  1995, the Partnership sold  the  Fair
Muffler  in  Ashwaubenon,  Wisconsin  to  the  lessee.   The
Partnership  received net sale proceeds of  $299,874,  which
resulted  in a net gain of $130,181.  At the time  of  sale,
the   cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the
property was $230,134 and $60,441, respectively.

       On August 28, 1995, the Partnership sold the Hardee's
restaurant   in   Wayne,  Nebraska  to  the   lessee.    The
Partnership  received net sales proceeds of  $474,530  which
resulted  in a net gain of $150,989.  At the time  of  sale,
the   cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  of  the
property was $447,944 and $124,403, respectively.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        During 1995, the Partnership distributed $61,880  of
the  net  sale  proceeds to the Partners as  part  of  their
regular quarterly distributions, which represented a  return
of  capital  of  $8.60  per Limited Partnership  Unit.   The
majority of the remaining net proceeds will be reinvested in
additional properties.

        In  July,  1995,  the  Partnership  entered  into  a
commitment   to   purchase  an  Applebee's   restaurant   in
Harlingen,  Texas.  The purchase price will be approximately
$1,260,000.   The  property will  be  leased  to  Renaissant
Development  Corporation  under a  Lease  Agreement  with  a
primary  term  of  20  years and annual rental  payments  of
approximately $145,000.

        In  October, 1995, the Partnership entered  into  an
agreement  to  purchase a Tractor Supply  Company  Store  in
Maryville,   Tennessee.    The  purchase   price   will   be
approximately $1,050,000.  The property will  be  leased  to
Tractor  Supply  Company  under a  Lease  Agreement  with  a
primary  term  of  14  years and annual rental  payments  of
approximately $113,000.

        During  the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,  the
Partnership incurred Partnership administration and property
management  expenses from unrelated parties of  $57,415  and
$27,119,  respectively.   These  expenses  represent  direct
payments to third parties for legal and filing fees,  direct
administrative  costs, outside audit and  accounting  costs,
taxes, insurance and other property costs.  The increase  in
these expenses in 1995, when compared to the same period  in
1994,  is  due  to  a $45,000 payment made to  the  original
lessee  of  the  Sierra Vista property.  The payment  was  a
reimbursement  for a portion of the legal  fees  the  lessee
incurred in obtaining a judgment of $390,000 against Western
in favor of the  Partnership in 1992.  The reimbursement was
contingent upon the sale of the property which was completed
in March, 1995.

       The Partnership administration expenses incurred from
affiliates  include costs associated with the management  of
the    properties   processing   distributions,    reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.

         As   of   September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership's
annualized  cash distribution rate was 5.76%, based  on  the
Adjusted  Capital Contribution.  Distributions of  Net  Cash
Flow  to  the  General  Partners were  subordinated  to  the
Limited  Partners as required in the Partnership  Agreement.
As  a result, 99% of distributions and income were allocated
to Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

        The  Partnership  may purchase  Units  from  Limited
Partners  who  have tendered their Units to the Partnership.
Such  Units  may be acquired at a discount.  The Partnership
is not obligated to purchase in any year more than 5% of the
total  number  of  Units originally sold and  in  no  event,
obligated  to  purchase Units if such purchase would  impair
the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        On October 1, 1995, five Limited Partners redeemed a
total of 18 Partnership Units for $9,104 in accordance  with
the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired  these
Units  using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years,
a  total  of  forty-one  Limited  Partners  redeemed  375.37
Partnership  Units  for $293,724.  The redemptions  increase
the  remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest  in  the
Partnership.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        Inflation  has had a minimal effect on  income  from
operations.  It is expected that increases in sales  volumes
of the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will
result in an increase in rental income over the term of  the
leases.   Inflation  also may cause the  Partnership's  real
