                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Balcor Current Income Fund-85 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership formed in 1985 to invest in and operate
income-producing real property. The Partnership raised $57,074,000 through the
sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire
five real property investments. The Partnership continues to operate these five
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 1993 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

As a result of increased rental and service income at four of the five
Partnership's properties, the Partnership recognized a decreased loss for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993 and
net income during the quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to a net
loss during the same period in 1993. Further discussion of the Partnership's
operations are summarized below.

1994 Compared to 1993
- - ---------------------

Increases in occupancy and rental rates at the Providence Square Apartments,
Storage USA of Norcross and Willow Lawn self-storage facilities and American
Way Mall resulted in an increase in rental and service income during the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods in
1993.

Increased cash available for short-term investment and higher interest rates
were the primary reasons for an increase in interest income on short-term
investments during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1994 as
compared to the same periods in 1993.

Due to increased roof repair, carpet replacement and insurance expenses at the
El Dorado Hills Apartments, the Partnership recognized an increase in property
operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 1994. This
increase was partially offset by decreased advertising expenses at the American
Way Mall and decreased repair and maintenance expense at Storage USA of
Norcross self storage facility.

Decreased repair and renovation expenses incurred in connection with the repair
and renovation program at Providence Square Apartments combined with decreased
advertising expenses at the American Way Mall and decreased repair and
maintenance expenses at Storage USA of Norcross self storage facility resulted
in a decrease in property operating expenses during the quarter ended September
30, 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993. This decrease was partially
offset by increased expenditures for roof repairs, carpet replacement and
insurance expense at the El Dorado Hills Apartments.

Real estate tax expense decreased during the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993, as the Partnership
received a refund in the third quarter of 1994 relating to 1992 and 1993 due to
a reduction in the assessed value of El Dorado Hills apartment complex. This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in real estate tax expense at
Providence Square Apartments due to a 1992 real estate tax refund received
during the second quarter of 1993. 

The Partnership incurred higher accounting and portfolio management fees which
resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during the nine months and
quarter ended September 30, 1994 as compared to the same periods in 1993. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal and other professional
fees.

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

The cash or near cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately
$1,777,000 as of September 30, 1994 as compared to December 31, 1993, which is
being retained by the Partnership for working capital reserves. The
Partnership's cash flow provided by operating activities was generated
primarily from the Partnership's properties, and was partially offset by the
payment of administrative costs. The Partnership's cash flow provided by
financing activities consisted of additional proceeds received from the lender
of the Providence Square Apartments loan to fund repair and renovation costs in
accordance with the terms of the December 1992 refinancing, and the payment of
principal on its mortgage notes payable.

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 significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's
rental and service income. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, the American Way Mall and the Storage USA of Norcross and Willow Lawn
self-storage facilities generated positive cash flow. The American Way Mall
does not have underlying debt. The Eldorado Hills Apartments operated at a
marginal deficit during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared to
positive cash flow for the same period in 1993 due to increased costs for roof
repairs, carpet replacement, and insurance expenses. The Providence Square
Apartments operated at a marginal deficit during the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 due to expenditures incurred in connection with the
ongoing repair and renovation program at the property.

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 property
operating performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow. 
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 interest of the
Partnership in order to maximize potential returns to Limited Partners.
Consequently, the Partnership will continue to own these properties for longer
than the holding period for the assets originally described in the Prospectus.

Four of the Partnership's properties are owned through the use of third-party
mortgage loan financing and, therefore, the Partnership is subject to the
financial obligations required by such loans. The Partnership's third-party
mortgage loan financing doesn't mature until December 1995, and may be extended
for two successive one year periods.

Pursuant to the terms of the 1992 refinancing agreement, the Partnership may
receive additional proceeds of up to $1,342,777 to fund approved improvements
and repairs at the properties. Cumulatively through September 30, 1994, the
Partnership has received $1,025,775 of such proceeds from the lender for
improvements and repairs made at the Providence Square Apartments. The
Partnership began a major repair and renovation program in 1991 at the property
aimed at increasing rental rates and occupancy levels, which is expected to be
completed in 1995.

The Partnership suspended quarterly distributions to Limited Partners during
the third quarter of 1991 primarily due to the financing issue regarding the
Providence Square Apartments. Pursuant to the terms of the 1992 financing and
refinancing agreements on four of the Partnership's properties, distributions
of Net Cash Receipts will not be made to the General Partner or Limited
Partners until certain conditions in the loan agreements are met, including
achievement of specified working capital levels by the Partnership and required
ratios between total net income at all the collateral properties to total debt
service. All of these conditions have now been met. Future distributions will
depend upon 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.

On November 4, 1994, The Balcor Company completed the sale of the assets of
Allegiance Realty Group, Inc. to an unaffiliated company, Insignia Allegiance
Management, Inc. ("Insignia"), which is based in Greenville, South Carolina. As
a result of this transaction, Insignia has assumed the management of the
Partnership's properties. This transaction is not expected to result in any
material change to the property management fees paid by the Partnership.

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.
