As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership owes $7,907,605 to the General Partner in
connection with the funding of additional working capital and other Partnership
obligations. The Partnership repaid $3,993,000 to the General Partner during

respectively.  In June 1996, the joint venture sold the property in an all cash
sale for $20,700,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the joint venture paid
$15,537,677 to the third party mortgage holders in full satisfaction of the
first and second mortgage loans, and paid $170,250 in selling costs. The joint

$4,265,862.  For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a
gain of $3,062,696 from the sale of this property.

                       (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. Prior to 1996, the Partnership
disposed of five of these properties. During 1996, the Partnership sold an
additional property and the property in which it owned a minority joint venture
interest. The Partnership continues to own the seven remaining properties.

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
- ---------------------

The Partnership recognized a gain related to the June 1996 sale of the Forest
Ridge - Phase II Apartments. The Partnership also recognized its share of the
gain from the June 1996 sale of the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, which was owned
by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate.  These were
the primary reasons for the recognition of net income during the six months and
quarters ended June 30, 1996 as compared to a net loss during the same periods
in 1995.  Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized
below.

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

As a result of lower average interest rates, interest income on short-term
investments decreased during 1996 when compared to 1995.

Rosehill Pointe Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint
venture interest, was sold during June 1996.  As a result of the Partnership's
share of the gain recognized during 1996 in connection with the sale, income
from participation in joint venture with an affiliate increased during 1996
when compared to 1995.  In connection with the sale, the Partnership also
recognized its share of a gain on forgiveness of debt of $41,897 and debt
extinguishment expense of $20,945, which are classified as extraordinary items.

The June 1996 sale of the Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments and the Country
Oaks Apartment's refinancing in June 1995 caused interest expense on mortgage
notes payable to decrease during 1996 when compared to 1995.
<PAGE>
The repayment of a portion of the General Partner loans during the second
quarter of 1996 along with lower interest rates resulted in a decrease in
interest on short-term loans from affiliate during 1996 when compared to 1995.

Real estate tax expense decreased during the six months ended June 30, 1996
when compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of a decrease in the tax
rate at the Hunter's Glen Apartments and the receipt of a refund for the
Marbrisa Apartments.

Higher professional fees caused an increase in administrative expenses during
1996 when compared to 1995.

In June 1996, the Partnership sold the Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments and
recognized a gain on sale of $3,062,696. In connection with the sale, the
Partnership fully amortized the remaining deferred expenses in the amount of
$161,427.  This amount was recognized as an extraordinary item and classified
as debt extinguishment expense.


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

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $165,000 as of
June 30, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995. The Partnership used cash of
approximately $781,000 in its operating activities which primarily represented
the cash flow from the operations of its properties, which was offset by
administrative expenses and the payment of accrued interest on short-term loans
from an affiliate.  Cash provided by investing activities of approximately
$12,780,000 consisted of net proceeds from the sale of Forest Ridge - Phase II
Apartments, and distributions received from the joint venture with an
affiliate, which primarily represent the Partnership's share of the proceeds
from the sale of Rosehill Pointe Apartments. Cash used in financing activities
of approximately $11,834,000 consisted primarily of the repayment of $3,993,000
of loans payable - affiliate and the repayment of the Forest Ridge- Phase II
mortgage note payable of approximately $7,870,000.

The Partnership owes approximately $7,908,000 to the General Partner at June
30, 1996 in connection with the funding of operating deficits and other working
capital requirements. These loans are expected to be repaid from proceeds
received from the disposition of the Partnership's real estate investments,  
and available cash flow from future property operations, prior to any
distributions to Limited Partners. 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.

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, all of the
Partnership's seven remaining properties generated positive cash flow. The
Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments was sold in June 1996, and generated
positive cash flow in 1995 and prior to its sale in 1996.  The Rosehill Pointe
Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest,
was sold in June 1996 and generated positive cash flow in 1995 and prior to its
sale in 1996. As of June 30, 1996, the occupancy rates at the Partnership's
properties ranged from 92% to 98%.   
<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
is favorable to sellers of these properties. During June 1996, the General
Partner sold the Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments, and Rosehill Pointe
Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest.
Currently, the Partnership has entered into contracts to sell the Country Oaks,
Hunter's Glen, Steeplechase, Willow Bend Lake and Marbrisa apartment complexes
for sales prices of $8,250,000, $9,100,000, $11,500,000, $14,853,000, and
$8,100,000 respectively. The Partnership is marketing its remaining two
properties. If current market conditions remain favorable, and the General
Partner can obtain appropriate sales prices, the Partnership's liquidation
strategy will be accelerated.

In June 1996, the Partnership sold the Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments
complex in an all cash sale for $11,100,000.  From the proceeds of the sale,
the Partnership paid $7,870,116 to the third party mortgage holder in full
satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, and paid $126,000 in selling costs.
Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $500,000 of the proceeds will be retained by
the Partnership until October 1996. The remaining proceeds were used to repay a
portion of the General Partner loan. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial
Statements for additional information.

The Rosehill Pointe Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the
Partnership and an affiliate.  In June 1996, the joint venture sold the
property in an all cash sale for $20,700,000.  From the proceeds of the sale,
the joint venture paid $15,537,677 to the third party mortgage holder in full
satisifaction of the first mortgage loan, and paid $170,250 in selling costs.
The net proceeds of the sale were $4,992,073, of which $1,915,958 was the
Partnership's share.  Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $500,000 of the
proceeds will be retained by the joint venture until October 1996. The
Partnership's share of the remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of
the General Partner loan.  See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.

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 the
repayment of loans to the General Partner and proceeds from property sales, as
to both of 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
