                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor/Colonial Storage Income Fund - 85 (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed in September 1983.  The principal purpose of the Partnership
was to acquire, own, maintain, operate, lease, and hold for capital
appreciation and current income existing mini-warehouse facilities offering
storage space for business and personal use.  The Partnership raised
$69,229,500 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized
these proceeds to acquire 69 mini-warehouse facilities from affiliates in 1985
and 4 mini-warehouse facilities from non-affiliated entities in 1986.  The
Partnership sold one  mini-warehouse facility in 1989, one facility in 1990,
two facilities in 1993 and the remaining 69 facilities in December 1997.

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 1997 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

Administrative expenses were higher than interest income earned on short-term
investments which resulted in a net loss during the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1998. On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the remaining
69 mini-warehouse facilities, which were generating income prior to their
sales, which resulted in net income during the six months and quarter ended
June 30, 1997. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized
below.

1998 Compared to 1997
- ---------------------

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1998 and 1997 refer
to both the six months and quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Rental income, property operating expenses, depreciation and property
management fees ceased during 1997 due to the above-mentioned property sales.

Interest income on short-term investments increased during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 as a result of an increase
in amounts available for investment.  The amounts available for investment
increased due to the proceeds received from the sale of the 69 mini-warehouse
facilities on December 22, 1997, prior to distribution to the Limited Partners
in January 1998.  Interest income on short-term investments decreased during
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997 due to
lower average cash balances in 1998.

General and administrative expenses decreased during 1998 as compared to 1997
primarily due to a reduction in employees involved in the Partnership's
operations.

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

The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $57,035,000
from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998 primarily due to the distribution of
proceeds in January 1998 from the sale of the Partnership's 69 remaining
properties.  The Partnership used cash in its operating activities of
approximately $238,000, primarily to pay administrative expenses and incentive
management fees to one of the General Partners in excess of interest income
earned on the Partnership's investments.  Cash of approximately $56,797,000 was
used in financing activities to pay distributions to the Limited Partners and
one of the General Partners.

Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners are entitled to 8%
of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution, which is subordinated to the
receipt by Limited Partners of specified distribution levels.  Colonial
Storage-85, Inc., a General Partner, received $227,110 in January, 1998
($198,721 as its incentive management fee and $28,389 as its distributive share
of Net Cash Receipts).  Balcor Storage Partners-85 elected to forego its share
of the January 1998 distribution.  The General Partners are not entitled to
receive any further amounts pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.

Accounts receivable net of the related allowance for doubtful accounts
decreased from December 31, 1997 to June 30, 1998 due to the collection in 1998
of prorations related to the sale of the Partnership's remaining properties in
December 1997 to Value Storage, Ltd., the purchaser of the Partnership's
properties.

To date, Limited Partners have received $437.57 per $250 Interest, of which
$231.75 represents Net Cash Receipts and $205.82 represents Net Cash Proceeds.

The General Partners' current strategy is to liquidate the Partnership in the
latter part of 1998.  No further distributions are anticipated to be made prior
to the termination of the Partnership.  After paying final partnership
expenses, remaining cash reserves will be distributed to Limited Partners.
