balance of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments affiliated mortgage loans. 

The Partnership incurred interest expense on the BREHI loans of $74,376 and
$189,826 and paid interest expense of $10,477 and $536,486 during the quarters
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest expense of $94,395 was
payable as of March 31, 1995 and is included in accrued liabilities on the
balance sheet.

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership owes $12,320,605 to the General Partner
in connection with the funding of additional working capital and other
Partnership obligations, of which $25,000 was borrowed during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995. This amount included $480,000 which was borrowed to pledge as
collateral relating to the Country Oaks mortgage loan. The Partnership incurred
interest expense of $202,866 and $86,826, and paid interest expense of $7,682
and $92,853 during the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, in
connection with these loans. As of March 31, 1995, interest expense of $326,661
was payable. Interest expense was computed at the American Express Company cost
of funds rate plus a spread to cover administrative costs. As of March 31,
1995, this rate was 6.552%.

4. Restricted Investment:

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership had cash of $480,000 pledged as
collateral relating to the Country Oaks mortgage loan. The amount pledged was
invested in short-term instruments pursuant to the terms of the pledge
agreement with the lending institution with interest earned on the investment
accumulating to the benefit of the Partnership. The pledged collateral was
released in April 1995.

                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II (the "Partnership") was formed in 1984 to
invest in and operate real property. The Partnership raised $83,936,000 through
the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to
acquire thirteen real property investments and a minority joint venture
interest in one additional real property. The Partnership has since disposed of
five of these properties. The Partnership continues to own eight remaining
properties and a minority joint venture interest in one property.

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.

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

Improved property operations at several of the Partnership's properties caused
the net loss to decrease during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is
summarized below.

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

1995 Compared to 1994
- - ---------------------

In connection with the 1994 refinancings of the properties' mortgage loans, the
Partnership retired and replaced $4,215,546 of affiliated mortgage notes
payable related to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II
apartment complexes with proceeds from both third party mortgage loans and
loans from the General Partner. As a result, interest expense on mortgage notes
payable decreased and interest expense on short-term loans from affiliates
increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same
period in 1994.

Due to the refinancing of the mortgage loans collateralized by Chestnut Ridge -
Phase I during March 1994, deferred expenses related to the previous loan were
fully amortized. As a result, amortization of deferred expenses decreased
during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.

Rental income increased at the Rosehill Pointe Apartments due to higher rental
rates. As a result, participation in income of joint venture with an affiliate
increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same
period in 1994.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

The cash position of the Partnership remained relatively unchanged as of March
31, 1995 when compared to December 31, 1994. The Partnership's operating
activities consisted primarily of cash flow generated from property operations,
which was partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses and short-
term interest expense. The Partnership's investing activity consists of a
distribution from the joint venture with an affiliate, while its financing
activities included additional borrowings from the General Partner and the
payment of principal on mortgage notes payable.

The Partnership owes approximately $12,321,000 to the General Partner at March
31, 1995 in connection with the funding of operating deficits and other working
capital requirements. These loans are expected to be repaid from available cash
flow from future property operations, or from proceeds received from the
disposition of the Partnership's real estate investments prior to any
distributions to Limited Partners.

Although affiliates of the General Partner have, in certain circumstances,
provided mortgage loans for certain properties of the Partnership, there can be
no assurance that loans of this type will be available from either affiliates
or the General Partner in the future. The General Partner may continue to
provide additional short-term loans to the Partnership to fund working capital
needs or property operating deficits, although there is no assurance that such
loans will be available. Should such short-term loans from the General Partner
not be available, the General Partner will seek alternative third party sources
of financing working capital. However, the current economic environment and its
impact on the real estate industry make it unlikely that the Partnership would
be able to secure financing from third parties to fund working capital needs or
operating deficits. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available
through the General Partner, its affiliates or third parties, the Partnership
may be required to dispose of some of its properties in order to satisfy
Partnership obligations.

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. 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 quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, seven of the
Partnership's eight remaining properties generated positive cash flow. In
addition, the property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture
interest generated positive cash flow during these periods. The Country Oaks
Apartments generated positive cash flow during the quarter ended March 31, 1995
as compared to a marginal deficit during the same period in 1994 due to
decreased landscaping costs. The Marbrisa Apartments, which generated positive
cash flow during the quarter ended March 31, 1994, operated at a marginal
deficit during the same period in 1995 primarily due to higher repairs and
maintenance costs required by the terms of the 1993 mortgage loan refinancing. 
<PAGE>
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 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 89% to 97%. Despite 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 interests 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.

The Partnership's properties are owned through the use of third-party and
affiliate mortgage loan financings and therefore, the Partnership is subject to
the financial obligations required by such loans. During 1995, the Country Oaks
Apartments mortgage loan of approximately $5,462,000 matures. The General
Partner expects to refinance this loan prior to maturity. In certain instances
it may be difficult for the Partnership to refinance a property in an amount
sufficient to retire in full the current third-party 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.

Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Partnership has not
commenced distributions. Future distributions to investors will depend on
improved cash flow from the Partnership's remaining properties and proceeds
from future property sales, as to both 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.
