                       A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                       (An Illinois Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting Policy:

(a) In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring
nature.

(b) For financial statement purposes, in previous years partners were allocated
income and loss in accordance with the profit and loss percentages in the
Partnership Agreement. In order for the capital accounts of the General Partner
and Limited Partners to appropriately reflect their respective remaining
economic interests as provided for in the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner was allocated additional income in 1997 for financial statement
purposes.

2. Partnership Termination:

The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon
the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in
real estate. During 1996, the Partnership sold two properties. During 1997, the
Partnership sold its remaining properties, the American Way Mall, Providence
Square Apartments, and Storage USA of Norcross Self-Storage Facility. The
timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash
will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which
exist or may arise. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the
property sales to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a
reserve for contingencies. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees
stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited
to, the lawsuit discussed below in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements. In
the absence of any such contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve
months of the last property sale. In the event a contingency arises, reserves
may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time.

3. Interest Expense:

During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership incurred
and paid interest expense on mortgage notes payable of $176,932 and $636,266,
respectively.

4. Transactions with Affiliates:

Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 are:
                                       Paid        Payable      
                                    ------------  ---------         
   Reimbursement of expenses to
     the General Partner, at cost      $17,757     $94,979
<PAGE>
5.  Property Sales:

(a) In January 1997, the Partnership sold the American Way Mall in an all cash
sale for $5,500,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid
$204,082 in selling costs. The basis of the property was $3,718,717, which is
net of accumulated depreciation of $4,361,314. For financial statement
purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $1,577,201 from the sale of this
property. 

(b) In February 1997, the Partnership sold the Providence Square Apartments for
a sales price of $25,510,000 less a credit of $500,000 related to the personal
property for a net sales price of $25,010,000. The purchaser of the property
took title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of
$16,789,620, which represents a noncash transaction to the Partnership.
Accordingly, the noncash aspect of this transaction is not presented in the
Partnership's Statements of Cash Flows. From the proceeds of the sale, the
Partnership paid $751,659 in selling costs. The basis of the property was
$13,623,514, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $8,450,525. For
financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $10,634,827
from the sale of this property.

(c) In February 1997, the Partnership sold the Storage USA of Norcross
Self-Storage Facility in an all cash sale for $3,250,000. From the proceeds of
the sale, the Partnership paid $24,803 in selling costs. The basis of the
property was $1,985,199, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $838,628.
For financial statement purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of
$1,239,998 from the sale of this property.

6.  Extraordinary Item:

In February 1997, the Partnership sold the Providence Square Apartments. In
connection with the sale, the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized
deferred financing fees in the amount of $255,492. This amount was recognized
as an extraordinary item and classified as debt extinguishment expense.

7. Contingency:

The Partnership is currently involved in a lawsuit whereby the Partnership and
certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging certain federal
securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of
disclosures of information concerning, as well as the marketing efforts related
to the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership. The
defendants continue to vigorously contest this action. A plaintiff class has
not yet been certified, and no determination of the merits have been made. It
is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this
action would have a material adverse impact on the financial position,
operations and liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership believes that it
has meritorious defenses to contest the claims.

8. Subsequent Event:

In April 1997, the Partnership paid a special distribution of $16,821,420
($294.73 per Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests
representing proceeds received in connection with the sales of the American Way
Mall, Providence Square Apartments and Storage USA of Norcross Self-Storage
Facility.

                       (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 sold two properties during 1996
and the remaining three properties were sold in 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 1996 for a more complete understanding of
the Partnership's financial position.

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

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

During 1997, the Partnership sold three properties and recognized significant
gains on these sales which resulted in net income during the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to a net loss during the same period in 1996.
Further discussion of the Partnership's operations are summarized below.

1997 Compared to 1996
- ---------------------

Discussions of fluctuations between 1997 and 1996 refer to the quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996.

The Partnership sold two properties during the latter part of 1996 and sold the
American Way Mall, Providence Square Apartments and Storage USA of Norcross
Self-Storage Facility during the quarter ended March 31, 1997. As a result, the
Partnership recognized gains totaling $13,452,026 during 1997. These sales also
resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on
mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization, property operating expense
and property management fees during 1997 as compared to 1996.

Due to higher cash balances as a result of proceeds received in connection with
the 1997 property sales prior to their distribution to Limited Partners in
April 1997, interest income on short-term investments increased during 1997 as
compared to 1996.    

Other income was recognized in 1997 in connection with the sale of the American
Way Mall. The agreement of sale provided that, if the purchaser transferred any
portion of the property to a specified third party prior to February 25, 1997,
the Partnership was entitled to a portion of the net proceeds from the
transfer. The Partnership received $421,774 pursuant to this provision.
<PAGE>
Real estate tax expense decreased during 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily as
a result of the sales of all of the Partnership's properties. The Partnership
also recognized income in connection with a real estate tax refund received in
1997 for a portion of the 1995 real estate taxes for the American Way Mall.
 
In connection with the sale of Providence Square Apartments, the Partnership
wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of
$255,492. This amount was recognized as an extraordinary item and is classified
as debt extinguishment expense in 1997. 

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

The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $16,358,000 as
of March 31, 1997 when compared to December 31, 1996 primarily due to the
proceeds from the three properties sold in 1997. The Partnership generated cash
totaling approximately $495,000 from its operating activities which consisted
primarily of cash flow generated from property operations, interest income on
short-term investments and other income, which was partially offset by the
payment of administrative expenses. The Partnership received cash of
approximately $15,990,000 from investing activities consisting of net proceeds
received from the sales of the American Way Mall, Providence Square Apartments
and Storage USA of Norcross Self-Storage Facility. The Partnership used cash of
approximately $127,000 to fund its financing activities which consisted
primarily of the payment of distributions to the Limited Partners offset by
release of improvement escrows. In addition, in April 1997 the Partnership made
a special distribution of $16,821,420 to the Limited Partners.  

In January 1997, the Partnership sold the American Way Mall in an all cash sale
for $5,500,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $204,082 in
selling costs. The remainder of the available proceeds were distributed to the
Limited Partners in April 1997. In addition, the Partnership received $421,774
pursuant to the sale agreement which provided that if the purchaser transferred
any portion of the property to a specified third party prior to February 25,
1997, the Partnership was entitled to a portion of the net proceeds from the
transfer. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional
information.

In February 1997, the Partnership sold the Providence Square Apartments for a
sales price of $25,510,000 less a credit of $500,000 related to the personal
property for a net sales price of $25,010,000. The purchaser of the property
took title subject to the existing first mortgage loan in the amount of
$16,789,620. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $751,659 in
selling costs. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $250,000 of the proceeds were
retained by the Partnership until May 1997 at which time the funds were
released to the Partnership. The remainder of the available proceeds were
distributed to the Limited Partners in April 1997. See Note 5 of Notes to
Financial Statements for additional information.

In February 1997, the Partnership sold the Storage USA of Norcross Self-Storage
Facility in an all cash sale for $3,250,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the
Partnership paid $24,803 in selling costs. The remainder of the available
proceeds were distributed to the Limited Partners in April 1997. See Note 5 of
Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
<PAGE>
In April 1997, the Partnership made a distribution of $16,821,420 ($294.73 per
Interest) to the holders of Limited Partnership Interests representing a
distribution of Net Cash Proceeds from the 1997 property sales. Including the
April 1997 distribution, Limited Partners have received distributions of Net
Cash Receipts of $173.34 and Net Cash Proceeds of $677.54, totaling $850.88 per
$1,000 Interest. Since all of the Partnership's properties have been sold, no
additional quarterly distributions are expected. Limited Partners will not
recover all of their original investment.

The Partnership sold two properties in 1996. The Partnership sold its three
remaining properties during 1997, as described above. The timing of the
termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash will depend upon
the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which exist or may
arise. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from property sales
to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for
contingencies. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees stemming
from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited to, the
lawsuit discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of
any such contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the
last property sale. In the event a contingency arises, reserves may be held by
the Partnership for a longer period of time.
