PART I
Item 1. Business
- ----------------
Balcor Current Income Fund-85 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1985 under the laws of the
State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $57,074,000 from sales of Limited
Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of
investment in and operation of income producing real property, and all
financial information included in this report relates to this industry segment.
The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire the five real
property investments described under "Item 2. Properties". The Partnership
Agreement generally provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing will
not be reinvested in new acquisitions, except that proceeds may be used to
purchase or finance improvements or additions to any of the Registrant's
properties.
Overall, the investment real estate market saw gradual improvement over the
last year. This improvement has taken place in an environment of generally low
interest rates and little or no new supply, parameters which may not exist in
the next few years. Demand for real estate space, while projected to improve in
line with the overall economy, is also vulnerable to external forces. The major
challenges facing the real estate industry today include increased
international competition, corporate restructurings, new computer and
communications technologies, an aging population and potential revisions of
the tax code. In addition, the increased flow of capital to real estate through
new vehicles such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and REITs could spur
new construction at unsupportable levels, as well as impact existing property
values.
Operationally, existing apartment properties continued to register occupancy
percentages in the 90s, with average rents rising at an annual rate of between
3 and 4 percent. Apartments are still considered one of the top real estate
asset classes in terms of performance. However, some markets are experiencing
new construction of rental units which, if unrestrained, could impact the
performance of existing properties. Most of the new construction is aimed at
the two segments of the rental market which are growing the fastest: low-income
households and upper-income households who prefer to rent rather than own. Of
all the major asset classes, apartments typically display the least volatility
in terms of property values.
Shopping centers are the most troubled asset class in real estate currently.
Unlike other asset classes, construction of power shopping centers, those with
a preponderance of "big box" retailers, occurred at a brisk pace during the
early 1990s, and now a shake-out of retailers is taking place. Retailers
posted lackluster sales in 1995, particularly in the latter half of the year,
<PAGE>
and similar results are expected for 1996. The slight rise in interest rates in
1995 also contributed to low sales growth in interest rate sensitive sectors
such as automobiles and home furnishings. Nevertheless, retail properties are
particularly unique, and those with strong tenant alignments should better
weather the current slowdown. In the long-term, however, retail real estate is
also vulnerable to technological changes (e.g. home shopping) which could
drastically alter the retail distribution system.
The General Partner had previously advised Limited Partners that its strategy
was to sell the Registrant's remaining properties over the next two to three
year period. The General Partner also stated that the timing of the
liquidation could be lengthened or shortened due to changes in market
conditions, economic factors, interest rates and unforeseen events. The
General Partner now believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. If current
market conditions for sales remain favorable, the liquidation of the
Registrant's properties may be accelerated.
The Registrant received notice of an unsolicited offer for the purchase of
limited partnership interests ("tender offer") in February 1996, which tender
offer expired on March 5, 1996. The tender offer was made by Equity Resource
Fund-XVII ("Equity Resources"). Equity Resources stated that their primary
motive in making the offer was to make a profit from the purchase of the
interests. Equity Resources acquired 2.0% of the total interests outstanding in
the Registrant. The Registrant incurred administrative costs in responding to
the tender offer and may incur additional costs if additional tender offers are
made in the future. The General Partner cannot predict with any certainty what
the impact of any future tender offers will have on the operations or
management of the Registrant.
During 1995, the Registrant completed the refinancing of the mortgage loans
secured by the El Dorado Hills and Providence Square apartment complexes and
Storage USA of Norcross and Willow Lawn storage facilities. See Item 7.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information.
The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate is subject to federal
and state laws and regulations covering various environmental issues.
Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants
to assess a wide range of environmental issues and to conduct tests for
environmental contamination as appropriate. The General Partner is not aware of
any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would be
material to the Registrant.
The officers and employees of Balcor Current Income Partners-85, the General
Partner of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the
Registrant. The Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its
operations.

There has not been an established public market for Limited Partnership
Interests and it is not anticipated that one will develop; therefore, the
market value of the Limited Partnership Interests cannot reasonably be
determined. For information regarding previous distributions see Financial

of Operations

Operations
- ----------
Summary of Operations
- ---------------------
During 1994, Balcor Current Income Fund-85 A Real Estate Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership") determined that the asset value of the American Way Mall
had been impaired. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized a provision for
investment property writedown in 1994 which resulted in a greater net loss
generated by the Partnership during 1994 as compared to 1995 and 1993. Further
discussion of the Partnership's operations are summarized below.
1995 Compared to 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 an increase in rental income at
Providence Square Apartments due to increased average rental rates and
occupancy.
Increased cash available for short-term investment, primarily from the net
proceeds received in connection with the Partnership's mortgage loan
refinancings, 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. As a result, the property was written
down to the Partnership's best estimate of the property's fair value, and a
$6,700,000 provision for investment property writedown was recognized in 1994.
This also resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense for 1995 as compared
to 1994.
The Partnership refinanced its mortgage loans during 1995 and the fees
associated with the refinancing are being amortized over the term of the new
mortgage loans. Since the term of the new mortgage loans is longer than the
term of the prior mortgage loans, amortization of deferred expenses decreased
during 1995 as compared to 1994.
<PAGE>
Due to the completion of the repair and renovation program at the Providence
Square Apartments, property operating expense decreased in 1995 as compared to
1994.
Real estate tax expense increased during 1995 as compared to 1994 due to an
increase in the tax rates at the American Way Mall and refunds of 1992 and 1993
real estate taxes received in 1994 resulting 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 fees and additionally, legal and professional fees
relating primarily to the potential sale of American Way Mall.
In September 1995, the first mortgages collateralized by the 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.
1994 Compared to 1993
- ---------------------
Due to increased occupancy levels and rental at Storage USA of Norcross and
Willow Lawn self-storage facilities and most significantly, the Providence
Square Apartments, rental and service income increased during 1994 as compared
to 1993. This increase was partially offset by decreased occupancy and rental
income during the second half of 1994 at the American Way Mall.
Increased cash available for investment and higher interest rates were the
primary reasons for an increase in interest income on short-term investments
during 1994 as compared to 1993.
Due to increased sewer and water expenses and insurance expenses at the El
Dorado Hills Apartments and Providence Square Apartments, the Partnership
recognized an increase in property operating expenses during 1994. This
increase was partially offset by decreased advertising and payroll expenses at
the American Way Mall.
Due to a reduction in the assessed value of American Way Mall and a refund of
prior years' taxes received in 1994 due to a reduction in the assessed value of
El Dorado Hills apartment complex, real estate tax expense decreased for the
year ended 1994 as compared to 1993.
<PAGE>
The Partnership incurred higher accounting, portfolio management and data
processing fees which resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during
1994 as compared to 1993.
The northern New Jersey retail market where the American Way Mall is located is
very competitive. During 1994, the Partnership determined that the property
needed to be reconfigured and retenanted with strong anchor tenants to compete
in the local retail market. The property was written down to the Partnership's
best estimate of the property's fair value, and a $6,700,000 provision for
investment property write-down was recognized in 1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership increased as of December 31, 1995 as
compared to December 31, 1994. The operating activities of the Partnership
include the cash flow from operations of the Partnership's properties and
interest income received on short-term investments, which was partially offset
by administrative costs. The Partnership's cash flow provided by financing
activities consisted of proceeds received in connection with the refinancing of
the Partnership's mortgage loans which were partially used to repay the
previous mortgage loans and pay the costs of the refinancing, as well as to
fund improvement escrows. Financing activities also consisted of principal
payments on mortgage notes payable and distributions to Limited Partners.
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. Effective September 1995, El Dorado Hills and
Providence Square Apartments are the only properties that have underlying debt.
During 1995 and 1994, the El Dorado Hills Apartments and the Storage USA at
Norcross and Willow Lawn self-storage facilities generated positive cash flow
after applicable debt service payments. Providence Square Apartments generated
positive cash flow during 1995 as compared to a marginal cash flow deficit
during 1994 due to the completion of the repair and renovation program and an
increase in rental income. The American Way Mall, which does not have
underlying debt, operated at a marginal deficit during 1995 as compared to
positive cash flow in 1994 due to lower rental income resulting from lower
occupancy. As of December 31, 1995, the occupancy rates of the Partnership's
apartment complexes and storage facilities ranged from 86% to 95%. The American
Way Mall had an occupancy rate of 47% at December 31, 1995. The Partnership had
evaluated alternative strategies to sell or redevelop this property and has
decided to market this property for sale.
<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 property
operating performance and seeking rent increases where market conditions allow.
The General Partner had previously advised Limited Partners that its strategy
was to sell the Partnership's remaining properties over the next two to three
year period. The General Partner also stated that the timing of the liquidation
could be lengthened or shortened due to changes in market conditions, economic
factors, interest rates and unforeseen events. The General Partner now believes
that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly
favorable to sellers of these properties. If current market conditions for
sales remain favorable, the liquidation of the Partnership's properties may be
accelerated.
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. In January 1996, the Partnership made a distribution of $2,700,171
($47.31 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests
representing a quarterly distribution of Net Cash Receipts of $12.31 per
Interest for the fourth quarter of 1995 and a special distribution of Net Cash
Proceeds of $35.00 per Interest from the mortgage loan refinancings. To date,
including the January 1996 distribution, Limited Partners have received
distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $159.62 and Net Cash Proceeds of $50.00,
totaling $209.62 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.
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting standards for impairment of
<PAGE>
long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of. This statement has
been adopted by the Partnership as of January 1, 1995, and did not have a
material impact on the financial position or results of operations of 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.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and

Financial Disclosure
- --------------------
On September 14, 1995 the Registrant approved the engagement of Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December
31, 1995 to replace the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, who were dismissed as
auditors of the Registrant effective September 14, 1995. The General Partner
of the Registrant approved the change in auditors.
The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Registrant's financial statements for
the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Registrant's financial statements for each
of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994, and in the subsequent interim
period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst &
Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter
in their report.

SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange

BALCOR CURRENT INCOME FUND-85
A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(An Illinois Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:
Balcor Current Income Fund-85 A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is engaged in the operation of residential, retail and
mini-storage real estate located in various markets within the United States.
2. Accounting Policies:
(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
(b) Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Rates used
in the determination of depreciation are based upon the following estimated
useful lives:
Years
-----
Buildings and improvements 27 to 30
Furniture and fixtures 5
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for
improvements are charged to the related asset account.
(c) Effective January 1, 1995 the partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards, No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Under SFAS 121, the
Partnership records its investments in real estate at the lower of cost or fair
value, and periodically assesses, but not less than on an annual basis,
possible impairment to the value of its properties. The General Partner
estimates the fair value of its properties by dividing the property's expected
net operating income by a risk adjusted rate of return which considers economic
and demographic conditions in the market. In the event the General Partner
determines an impairment in value has occurred, and the carrying amount of the
real estate asset will not be recovered, a provision is recorded to reduce the
carrying basis of the property to its estimated fair value. The General Partner
considers the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of
a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value
indicate otherwise.
<PAGE>
(d) Deferred expenses consist of refinancing fees which are amortized over the
terms of the respective agreements.
(e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's
financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present
value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does
not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments
and all non-financial instruments such as real estate from its disclosure
requirements.
(f) Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents are
held or invested in two types of commercial paper.
(g) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner
recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax
return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial
statements of the Partnership.
(h) Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Income from operating leases with significant
abatements and/or scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight line
basis over the respective lease term. Service income includes reimbursements
from operating costs such as real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance and
is recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred.
(i) A reclassification has been made to the previously reported 1994 and 1993
financial statements to conform with the classification used in 1995. This
reclassification has not changed the 1994 and 1993 results.
3. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized in February 1985. The Partnership Agreement
provides for Balcor Current Income Partners-85 to be the General Partner and
for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 125,000 Limited
Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 57,074 of which were sold on or
prior to August 19, 1986, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement provides that profits and losses will be allocated 1%
to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.
<PAGE>
To the extent that Net Cash Receipts are available, distributions will be made
90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner, 9% as its
Partnership management fee and 1% as its distributive share. The General
Partner's share of distributed Net Cash Receipts is subordinated to receipt by
the Limited Partners of a Cumulative Distribution of 6% through March 1988,
6.5% thereafter through March 1989 and 7% thereafter through March 1990. No
subordination of the General Partner's share of distributed Net Cash Receipts
is required after March 1990. Since Cumulative Distribution levels to the
Limited Partners specified in the Partnership Agreement were not attained, the
General Partner was required to subordinate its receipt of its share of Net
Cash Receipts of approximately $650,000 through March 1990. This amount has
been deferred and will be paid only from Net Cash Proceeds as described below.
When and as the Partnership sells or refinances its properties, the Net Cash
Proceeds resulting therefrom which are available for distribution will be
distributed only to holders of Interests until such time as holders of
Interests have received an amount equal to their Original Capital plus a 7% per
annum non-compounded Cumulative Distribution. Thereafter, if any portion of the
General Partner's share of Net Cash Receipts has been deferred as a result of
the subordination to the Cumulative Distribution, available Net Cash Proceeds
shall be distributed to the General Partner to the extent of the deferred
amount. Any remaining Net Cash Proceeds available for distribution will be
distributed 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partner.
4. Mortgage Notes Payable:
Mortgage notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the
following:
Carrying Carrying Current Final

Total $33,824,504 $29,854,081
=========== ===========
(A) 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 self-storage
<PAGE>
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 was used to
repay the existing mortgage loans of $16,039,332 and $13,387,900, as well as
prepayment penalties of $490,747.
The Partnership's loans described above require current monthly payments of
principal and interest.
Real estate with an aggregate carrying value of $45,433,408 at December 31,
1995 was pledged as collateral for repayment of mortgage loans.
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership incurred interest expense on
mortgage notes payable of $2,893,638, $3,018,612 and $2,993,397, and paid
interest expense of $2,893,638, $3,018,612 and $3,085,388, respectively.
Future annual maturities of the above mortgage notes payable during each of the
next five years are approximately as follows:
1996 $317,000
1997 341,000
1998 368,000
1999 397,000
2000 427,000
5. Management Agreements:
The El Dorado Hills and Providence Square apartment complexes are managed by a
third-party management company. These management agreements provide for annual
fees of 5% of gross operating revenues.
American Way Mall is also managed by a third-party management company for fees
that range from 3% to 6% of adjusted gross operating revenues.
Willow Lawn Security Storage is managed by a third-party management company for
annual fees equal to the greater of 5% of gross operating revenues or $12,000.
The Storage USA of Norcross Mini-Warehouse is managed by a third-party
management company for annual fees of 6% of gross operating revenues.
6. Provision for Investment Property Writedown:
The northern New Jersey retail market where the American Way Mall is located is
very competitive. During 1994 the Partnership determined that the property
needed to be reconfigured and retenanted with strong anchor tenants to compete
<PAGE>
in the local retail market. The property was written down to the Partnership's
best estimate of the property's fair value, and a $6,700,000 provision for
investment property writedown was recognized in 1994.
7. Tax Accounting:
The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code,
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and existing interpretations
thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from the
tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the
Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that
the net loss for 1995 in the financial statements is $543,972 less than the tax
loss of the Partnership for the same period.
8. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

The Partnership participates in an insurance deductible program with other
affiliated partnerships in which the program pays claims up to the amount of
the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The
program is administered by an affiliate of the General Partner who receives no
fee for administering the program; however, the General Partner is reimbursed
for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance
program of $55,606, $86,566 and $57,213 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Allegiance Realty Group, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, managed
three of the Partnership's properties until the affiliate was sold to a third
party in November 1994.
<PAGE>
9. Rentals under Operating Leases:
The Partnership receives rental income from the leasing of shopping center
space under operating leases. The minimum future rentals (excluding amounts
representing executory costs such as taxes, maintenance and insurance) to be
received by the Partnership for American Way Mall based on operating leases
held at December 31, 1995 are approximately as follows:
1996 $382,000
1997 183,000
1998 136,000
1999 121,000
2000 121,000
Minimum future rentals do not include amounts which may be received from
certain tenants based upon a percentage of their gross sales in excess of
stipulated minimums. Percentage rentals were not significant during 1995, 1994
or 1993. The Partnership is subject to the usual business risks regarding the
collection of the above-mentioned rentals.
10. Extraordinary Item:
As discussed in Note 4, during 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 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.
