                       (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 1995 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

Increased rental income at seven of the eight remaining properties due to
higher rental rates resulted in a decrease in the net loss for the Partnership
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.
This improvement was partially offset by higher property operating expenses
during 1996. 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.

As a result of higher rental rates at all of the Partnership's properties
except Willow Bend Lake Apartments, rental income and property management fees
increased for 1996 when compared to 1995.

As a result of higher average cash balances, interest income on short-term
investments increased for 1996 when compared to 1995.

Property operating expense increased during 1996 when compared to 1995 due to
higher consulting, utilities, payroll and repair and maintenance expenditures
at seven of the Partnership's properties. This increase was partially offset by
lower repair and maintenance expenditures at Marbrisa Apartments.

Real estate tax expense decreased during 1996 when compared to 1995 as a result
of a decrease in the tax rate at the Hunter's Glen Apartments and the receipt
of a refund of a portion of a prior year's real estate taxes for the Marbrisa
Apartments.
<PAGE>
Primarily as a result of decreased accounting fees, administrative expenses
decreased during 1996 when compared to 1995.

Real estate taxes increased at the Rosehill Pointe Apartments due to an
increase in the property's assessed value. As a result, participation in income
of joint venture with an affiliate decreased during 1996 when compared to 1995.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $375,000 as of
March 31, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995. The Partnership generated
cash flow totaling approximately $423,000 from its operating activities which
primarily represented the operations of its properties, net of administrative
expenses and payment of interest on short-term loans from an affiliate. The
Partnership's investing activity consisted of a distribution from the joint
venture with an affiliate of approximately $19,000. The Partnership's financing
activities consisted of principal payments on mortgage notes payable of
approximately $108,000 and proceeds from the release of repair escrows of
approximately $41,000.

The Partnership owes approximately $11,900,000 to the General Partner at March
31, 1996 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 can be no assurances that
such loans will be available. 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 1996 and 1995, seven of the Partnership's eight remaining
properties generated positive cash flow. The Chestnut Ridge - Phase I
Apartments generated a marginal deficit during 1996 as compared to positive
cash flow during 1995 due to plumbing repairs. The Marbrisa Apartments, which
generated positive cash flow during 1996, operated at a marginal deficit in
1995 primarily due to repairs and maintenance required by the terms of the
mortgage loan. In addition, the property in which the Partnership holds a
minority joint venture interest generated positive cash flow in both 1996 and
1995. As of March 31, 1996, the occupancy rates at the Partnership's properties
ranged from 93% to 97%.   
<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 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. The
Partnership has entered into negotiations for a contract to sell Park Crossing
Apartments and has entered into a contract to sell the Forest Ridge Apartments
- - Phase II for a sales price of $11,100,000. Also, the Partnership and the
affiliated partnership which own the Rosehill Pointe Apartments through a joint
venture have entered into a contract to sell the property for a sales price of
$20,700,000. The Partnership is preparing to market one property for sale and
is actively marketing five additional properties. If current market conditions
remain favorable, and the General Partner can obtain appropriate sales prices,
the Partnership's liquidation strategy may be accelerated.

The Partnership's properties are owned through the use of third-party and
affiliate mortgage loans 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 prior to 1998.  

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, the repayment
of loans to the General Partner and proceeds from future property sales, as to
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 a substantial portion of their original investment.

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.
