                     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 1995 for  a more complete understanding  of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

Lower interest  expense resulting  from the  1995 mortgage  loan  refinancings,
which was  partially  offset by  declining  operations at  American  Way  Mall,
resulted in the Partnership recognizing decreased  net loss for the six  months
and quarter  ended June  30, 1996  as compared  to 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.

Rental and service income decreased during  1996 as compared to 1995  primarily
as a result  of a  decrease in  occupancy at  American Way  Mall. However,  the
decrease was partially offset by increases in rental and service income at  the
El Dorado Hills and Providence Square Apartments due to increased rental  rates
and Willow Lawn self-storage facility due to increased occupancy.

The January and April 1996 special  distributions to Limited Partners caused  a
decrease in  cash  available  for  short-term investments  and  resulted  in  a
decrease in interest income on  short-term investments during 1996 as  compared
to 1995.

In September 1995, the Partnership refinanced the mortgage loan secured by  the
El Dorado Hills  Apartments and  the mortgage  loan secured  by the  Providence
Square Apartments,  Storage  USA  of  Norcross  and  Willow  Lawn  self-storage
facilities. The  Partnership obtained  two  new mortgage  loans secured  by  El
Dorado Hills and Providence Square Apartments, respectively, which carry  lower
interest rates than the prior financing. In addition, fees associated with  the
new mortgage  loans are  being amortized  over  a longer  term than  the  prior
mortgage loans. As  a result, interest  expense on mortgage  notes payable  and
amortization of deferred expenses decreased for 1996 as compared to 1995.
<PAGE>
Real estate  tax expense  decreased for  the  quarter ended  June 30,  1996  as
compared to 1995 due to a reduction in the assessed value of American Way  Mall
received from the taxing authority in the second quarter of 1996. This decrease
was partially offset by increased tax rates at Providence Square Apartments.
 
The Partnership  incurred consulting  fees and  postage and  printing costs  in
connection with its response  to a tender offer  during 1996. In addition,  the
Partnership incurred legal and professional  fees in connection with  marketing
American Way  Mall for  sale. As  a result,  administrative expenses  increased
during 1996 as compared to 1995.

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

The cash position of the  Partnership decreased by approximately $3,576,000  as
of June 30,  1996 as compared  to December  31, 1995 due  primarily to  special
distributions to Limited Partners  in January and  April 1996. The  Partnership
generated cash flow  of approximately  $849,000 from  its operating  activities
which includes 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  financing   activities
consisted primarily of the payment of distributions of approximately $4,270,000
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. El Dorado Hills and Providence Square Apartments are
the only properties that have underlying debt. During the six months ended June
30, 1996  and  1995,  the  Providence Square  and  El  Dorado  Hills  apartment
complexes and  the  Storage  USA  of  Norcross  and  Willow  Lawn  self-storage
facilities all  generated  positive cash  flow  after applicable  debt  service
payments. The American Way Mall, which does not have underlying debt, generated
a significant cash flow deficit  during the six months  ended June 30, 1996  as
compared to positive  cash flow during  the same  period in 1995  due to  lower
rental and service income resulting from lower occupancy. As of June 30,  1996,
the occupancy  rates  of  the Partnership's  apartment  complexes  and  storage
facilities ranged from 86% to 98%. The American Way Mall had an occupancy  rate
of 32% at June  30, 1996. The Partnership  evaluated alternative strategies  to
sell or redevelop this  property and has currently  entered into a contract  to
sell this 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.

The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties
is favorable to  sellers of  these properties. Currently,  the Partnership  has
entered into a contract to sell the El Dorado Hills Apartments for $29,350,000.
The Partnership is also actively  marketing its other residential property  and
its two storage facilities.  Additionally, the Partnership  has entered into  a
contract to sell the American Way Mall for $5,200,000. If current market
<PAGE>
conditions remain  favorable and  the General  Partner can  obtain  appropriate
sales prices, the Partnership's liquidation strategy will be accelerated.

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  efforts  to  obtain  loan  refinancings,  the  Partnership  has   no
third-party financing which matures before 2002.

In July  1996, the  Partnership  made a  distribution  of $285,370  ($5.00  per
Interest) to  the  holders  of Limited  Partnership  Interests  representing  a
regular quarterly distribution of Net Cash  Receipts of $3.00 per Interest  for
the second quarter of 1996 and a  special distribution of Net Cash Proceeds  of
$2.00 per  Interest from  the  remaining proceeds  of  the 1995  mortgage  loan
refinancings.  The  level  of  the  second  quarter  1996  Net  Cash   Receipts
distribution  increased  from  the  prior  quarter's  level  due  to   improved
operations at  El  Dorado Hills  Apartments  and the  two  storage  facilities.
Including  the  July   1996  distribution,  Limited   Partners  have   received
distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $165.12 and Net Cash Proceeds of  $77.00,
totaling $242.12 per $1,000 Interest.  The General Partner expects to  continue
quarterly distributions  to  Limited Partners.  However,  the level  of  future
distributions will depend on  cash flow from  the Partnership's properties  and
proceeds from property sales, as to all of which there can be no assurances. In
light of results to date and  current conditions, the General Partner does  not
anticipate that investors will recover all 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
to increased rental revenues and real estate values.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:

1.   All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
each in the Agreement.

2.   Paragraph 1 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with
the following:

     "1.  PURCHASE AND SALE.  Purchaser agrees to purchase and Seller agrees to
sell at the price of Twenty-Nine Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand And
No/100 Dollars ($29,350,000.00) (the "Purchase Price"), that certain property

complex legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all

3.   The dollar amount reflected in Paragraph 2.3 of the Agreement shall be,
and hereby is, reduced from $29,600,000.00 to $29,350,000.00.
<PAGE>
4.   The first grammatical sentence of Paragraph 8.1 of the Agreement is
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     "The closing of this transaction (the "Closing") shall be on August 8,
1996 (the "Closing Date"), at the office of Title Insurer, San Diego,
California, at which time Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to
Purchaser; provided, however, that if Purchaser has submitted to Lender a final
and executed application to assume the Loan, together with all required
financial statements and the $3000.00 processing fee, with a copy of the
transmittal letter to Seller, on or before July 9, 1996, the Closing Date shall
be August 30, 1996."

5.   Paragraph 18.3 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

     "    18.3.     In the event any of the Conditions Precedent are not
satisfied on or before five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, then
this Agreement shall be terminated, and the Earnest Money shall be immediately
paid to Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, and neither
Seller nor Purchaser shall have any right, obligation or liability under this
Agreement, except for the indemnities set forth in Paragraphs 7 and 15 of this
Agreement."

6.   On or before the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to
execute the City of San Diego Transfer of Responsibility to Retrofit
Certificate, whereby pursuant to San Diego Municipal Code Section 93.0208 (the

Property as required under the Water Code upon any transfer of the Property.
As compensation for Purchaser accepting this additional responsibility, the

mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser in their reasonable discretion, to
install the plumbing fixtures required under the Water Code, less the rebate to
be received from the City of San Diego for each ultra-low-flushing-toilet to be
installed by Purchaser pursuant to the Water Code.  If, despite good faith
efforts, Purchaser and Seller are unable to mutually agree upon the reduction
to the Purchase Price to be received by Purchaser at Closing, a third-party
experienced in the installation of plumbing fixtures shall be employed (with
Purchaser and Seller sharing such expense) to determine the appropriate
reduction to the Purchase Price.

7.   Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall be and remain unchanged and
in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

8.   This Amendment may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.  To facilitate the execution of this Amendment, Seller
