NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(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) 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
Results of Operations
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership recognized rental income of $269,217 and $266,767,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned
investment income of $3,980 and $3,377, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $49,957 and $47,871, respectively. These
administration expenses include costs associated with the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $9,229 and $11,921, 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.
As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution rate was 6.50%, 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.
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 estate to
appreciate in value. However, inflation and changing prices may
also have an adverse impact on the operating margins of the
properties' tenants which could impair their ability to pay rent
and subsequently reduce the Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services for the Partnership. AEI is currently analyzing its
computer hardware and software systems to determine what, if any,
resources need to be dedicated regarding Year 2000 issues. The
Partnership does not anticipate any significant operational
impact or incurring material costs as a result of AEI becoming
Year 2000 compliant.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the
Partnership's cash balances increased $14,200 as the Partnership
distributed less cash to the Partners than it generated from
operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities
increased from $209,788 in 1997 to $224,021 in 1998.
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and redemption payments to Partners. The Partnership declares
its regular quarterly distributions before the end of each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of each quarter. The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter. Redemption payments
are paid to redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter of each
year. Effective July 1, 1997, the Partnership's distribution
rate was increased from 5.85% to 6.50%. As a result,
distributions during the first six months of 1998 were higher
when compared to the same period in 1997.
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. In no event shall the Partnership be obligated
to purchase Units if, in the sole discretion of the Managing
General Partner, such purchase would impair the capital or
operation of the Partnership.
During 1997, one Limited Partner redeemed a total of 5
Partnership Units for $2,199 in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash
Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of fifty-two
Limited Partners redeemed 415.37 Partnership Units for $313,122.
The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners'
ownership interest in the Partnership.
The continuing rent payments from the properties should be
adequate to fund continuing distributions and meet other
Partnership obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
