4. Loan Refinancings:

In September 1995, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage loan secured by the
El Dorado Hills Apartments and the mortgage loan secured by Providence Square
Apartments, Storage USA of Norcross and Willow Lawn Storage Facilities.  The
Partnership obtained two new mortgage loans of $16,900,000 and $17,000,000
which are secured by El Dorado Hills and Providence Square Apartments,
respectively.  The interest rates decreased from 10.02% to 7.53%, the maturity
dates were extended from December 1995 to October 2002 and the total monthly
payments decreased from $311,038 to $237,731.  A portion of the proceeds from
the new El Dorado Hills and Providence Square loans were used to repay the
existing mortgage loans of $16,039,332 and $13,387,900, as well as prepayment
penalties of $490,747.

5. Subsequent Event:

In October 1995, the Partnership resumed quarterly distributions and paid
$702,581 ($12.31 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests
for the third quarter of 1995.

                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                     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 1994 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

As a result of debt extinguishment expenses incurred in conjunction with the
refinancing of the Partnership's loans and lower rental income due to lower
occupancy at American Way Mall, the Partnership recognized a larger net loss
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994, and a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 as compared to
net income during the same period in 1994.  Further discussion of the
Partnership's operations is summarized below.  

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

Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1995 and 1994 refer
to both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Rental and service income decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994 as a result
of a decrease in occupancy at American Way Mall. The decrease in rental and
service income was partially offset by increases in rental income at El Dorado
Hills and Providence Square Apartments due to increased average rental rates
and/or occupancy.

Increased cash available for short-term investment and higher average interest
rates were the primary reasons for an increase in interest income on short-term
investments during 1995 as compared to 1994.

During the latter part of 1994, the Partnership determined that the value of
the American Way Mall had been impaired. Accordingly, the Partnership
recognized a provision for investment property write-down in 1994 which
resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense for 1995 as compared to 1994.

Due to decreases in payroll costs, snow removal, and advertising programs at
the American Way Mall, decreases in real estate tax consultant and insurance
costs at El Dorado Hills Apartments, and the completion of the repair and
renovation program at the Providence Square Apartments, property operating
expense decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994.
<PAGE>
Real estate tax expense increased during 1995 as compared to 1994 due to
refunds of 1992 and 1993 real estate taxes received in the third quarter of
1994 which resulted from a reduction in the assessed value of the El Dorado
Hills apartment complex.

Administrative expense increased during 1995 as compared to 1994 due to
increases in accounting, legal and other third-party professional fees.

In September 1995, the first mortgages collateralized by El Dorado Hills and
Providence Square apartment complexes and Storage USA at Norcross and Willow
Lawn self-storage facilities were refinanced, and prepayment penalties of
$490,747 were incurred.  In conjunction with the refinancing of the
Partnership's mortgage loans the remaining deferred expenses of $48,724
relating to the previous loans were recognized.  For financial statement
purposes, these two amounts have been classified as debt extinguishment
expenses.

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased as of September 30, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994.  The increase resulted primarily from proceeds
received in connection with the refinancing of the Partnership's mortgage loans
which were partially used to repay the previous mortgage loans, pay the costs
of the refinancing, and fund improvement escrows.

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. 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 where applicable. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, the Storage USA of Norcross and Willow Lawn self-storage facilities
generated positive cash flow after applicable debt service payments.  The El
Dorado Hills and Providence Square Apartments generated positive cash flow
during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to marginal cash
flow deficits in 1994 due to an increase in rental income and a decrease in
real estate consultant and insurance costs at the El Dorado Hills Apartments
and an increase in rental income and a decrease in expenditures incurred in
connection with the repair and renovation program at the Providence Square
Apartments.  The American Way Mall, which does not have underlying debt,
operated at a marginal deficit during the nine months ended September 30, 1995
as compared to positive cash flow in 1994 due to lower rental income due to
lower occupancy.

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.
As of September 30, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's apartment
complexes and storage facilities ranged from 92% to 97%. The American Way Mall
had an occupancy rate of 55% at September 30, 1995. The Partnership is
evaluating alternative strategies to sell or redevelop this property. Despite
improvements in the local economies and rental markets where certain of the
Partnership's properties are located, the General Partner believes that
<PAGE>
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.

In September 1995, the Partnership refinanced both of its mortgage loans.
Proceeds from the new loans of $33,900,000 were used to repay the existing
loans of $29,427,232.  See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for
additional information.

Two 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.  As a result of the General
Partner's successful efforts to obtain loan refinancings, the Partnership has
no third-party financing which matures before 2002.

In October 1991, quarterly distributions to Limited Partners were suspended in
order to resolve financing issues and complete a repair and renovation program
at Providence Square Apartments.  With the completion of the repair and
renovation program and the refinancing of the Partnership's mortgage loans in
September 1995, the Partnership resumed quarterly distributions in October 1995
and paid $702,581 ($12.31 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership
Interests representing a distribution of Net Cash Receipts for the third
quarter of 1995.  To date, including the October 1995 distribution, Limited
Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $147.31 and Net
Cash Proceeds of $15.00, totaling $162.31 per $1,000 Interest.  The General
Partner expects to continue quarterly distributions to Limited Partners.
However, the level of future distributions, if available, will depend on cash
flow from the Partnership's properties, the situation at American Way Mall and
proceeds from future property sales, as to all 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.
