                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), the Managing General Partner, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position of Capital Realty Investors-85 Limited Partnership (the
Partnership) as of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994 and its consolidated
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,1995 and
1994 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30,1995
and 1994.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. While the Managing General Partner believes that
the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading,
it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in
the Partnership's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS

     As of September 30,1995, the Partnership's obligations with respect to its
investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes of
$5,098,000 plus the accrued interest of $8,579,640, are payable upon the
earliest of: (1) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's
rental property; (2) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's
permanent loan; or (3) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal
amount of $2,500,000 mature in December 1995, as discussed below.  Purchase
money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $230,000 mature in 1996.  The
remaining purchase money notes mature from 1999 to 2003.  The purchase money
notes are generally secured by the Partnership's interest in the respective
Local Partnership.  There is no assurance that the underlying properties will
have sufficient appreciation and equity to enable the Partnership to pay the
purchase money notes' principal and accrued interest when due.  If a purchase
money note is not paid in accordance with its terms, the Partnership will either
have to renegotiate the terms of repayment or risk losing its partnership
interest in the Local Partnership.  The Managing General Partner is continuing
to investigate possible alternatives to reduce the Partnership's long-term debt
obligations.  These alternatives include, among others, retaining the cash
available for distribution to meet the purchase money note requirements, buying
out certain purchase money notes at a discounted price, extending the due dates
of certain purchase money notes, or refinancing the respective properties'
underlying debt and using the Partnership's share of the proceeds to pay off or
buy down certain purchase money note obligations.

     Interest expense on the Partnership's purchase money notes for the three
and nine months ended September 30,1995 was $396,791 and $1,181,911,
respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30,1994 was
$354,423 and $1,063,270, respectively.  The accrued interest on the purchase
money notes of $8,579,640 and $7,416,795 as of September 30,1995 and December
31, 1994, respectively, is due on the respective maturity dates of the purchase
money notes or earlier if the Local Partnerships have distributable net cash
flow, as defined in the relevant Local Partnership agreements.

2.   INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO PARTNERSHIPS - Continued

     As of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, the Partnership's
obligations with respect to its investments in Local Partnerships included
$174,600 and $492,900, respectively, due to local general partners, plus accrued
interest on these obligations of $75,400 and $132,100, respectively.

     Deerfield Partners Limited Partnership (Deerfield Apartments) was unable to
generate sufficient cash flow to pay its debt service and therefore was unable
to meet its obligations under the terms of the loan documents.  The Local
Partnership defaulted on its mortgage loan in 1990, and after negotiations with
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), submitted a one-year
workout proposal to the local HUD office, effective May 1, 1991, to which HUD
did not respond.  On July 1, 1992, a second one-year workout proposal was
submitted, effective September 1, 1992, to which HUD did not respond. On
September 17, 1993, a six-year workout proposal, effective October 1, 1993, was
submitted in accordance with HUD's new workout guidelines.  At HUD's request, a
nine-year workout proposal was submitted to HUD on April 15, 1994.  This
proposal was rejected by HUD.  A new nine-year workout proposal was submitted to
HUD on May 31, 1995.  HUD rejected this proposal and notified Deerfield
Apartments that HUD had offered its mortgage loan for sale in September 1995.  A
new mortgagee is scheduled to purchase the loan from HUD on November 10, 1995,
and if the sale is completed as scheduled, could foreclose on the property.  As
of October 10, 1995, Deerfield Apartments had not been notified as to the
intentions of the potential new mortgagee.  The uncertainty about the Local
Partnership's continued ownership of the property does not impact the
Partnership's financial condition because the related purchase money note is
nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the Partnership's interest in the Local
Partnership.  Therefore, should the investment in Deerfield Apartments not
produce sufficient value to satisfy the purchase money note related to Deerfield
Apartments, the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited since the amount of
the nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in
and advances to the Local Partnership.  Thus, even a complete loss of this
investment would not have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.  Currently, debt service payments are being made from available
cash flow in accordance with the latest proposed workout.   During 1989 and
1988, the Partnership loaned a total of $196,746 to the Local Partnership to
fund operating deficits.  The Partnership does not expect to advance any
additional funds. The loans do not bear interest and repayment is due upon sale
or refinancing of the property; however, there is no assurance that the Local
Partnership will be able to repay any loans in accordance with the terms.

     Mesa Partners Limited Partnership (The Pointe), located in El Paso, Texas,
modified its mortgage loan in 1987.  In connection with the loan modification,
the Partnership loaned $262,500 to the Local Partnership in 1987.  Repayment of
this loan, with simple interest at 9% per annum, is expected to occur upon sale
or refinancing of the property.  As of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994,
accrued interest was $194,497 and $176,778, respectively.

     Paradise Associates Limited Partnership (Paradise) was notified by HUD that
HUD planned to offer Paradise's mortgage loan for sale in the Fall of 1995.  If
the mortgage was sold by HUD, a new mortgagee would service the loan and
Paradise would no longer be subject to HUD regulatory requirements.  As of
October 10, 1995, Paradise had not been notified by HUD as to the status of the
loan sale.

     Debt service on Springfield Apartments (Springfield) is due to the lender
on the first day of each month with no "grace period" and substantial late
payment penalties.  Therefore, prior to February 1994, the Partnership had
advanced approximately $65,000 per month to Springfield in the form of a bridge
loan which was to be repaid by the fifteenth of the following month.  The
February 1994 advance to Springfield was held by the Local Partnership to
establish a one-month debt service reserve to eliminate the need for a monthly
bridge loan from the Partnership.  Springfield began repaying a portion of the
non-interest-bearing advances made by the Partnership in April 1994.  As of
September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, non-interest-bearing loans to
Springfield totalled $381,239 and $509,438, respectively.

     Debt service on Devonshire Apartments (Devonshire) is due to the lender on
the first day of each month with no "grace period" and substantial late payment
penalties.  Therefore, prior to February 1994, the Partnership had advanced
approximately $10,000 per month to Devonshire in the form of a bridge loan which
was to be repaid by the fifteenth of the following month.  The February 1994
advance to Devonshire was held by the Local Partnership to establish a one-month
debt service reserve to eliminate the need for a monthly bridge loan from the
Partnership.  Devonshire began repaying a portion of the non-interest-bearing
advances made by the Partnership in July 1994.  As of December 31, 1994, non-
interest-bearing loans to Devonshire totalled $30,500.  Devonshire paid off the
balance of its loans in January 1995.

     The letter of credit and mortgage loan on Sheridan West Limited Partnership
(Semper Village) originally matured on December 20, 1994.  Pursuant to an
agreement dated January 1, 1995, the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), acting
as receiver for the original mortgagee, assumed the note in lieu of mandatory
redemption by drawing on the letter of credit.  The RTC extended the maturity
date of the letter of credit and mortgage loan to September 1, 1995.  On August
30, 1995, the local general partners refinanced the existing mortgage loan with
SRS Insurance Services, Inc.  In connection with the refinancing, the local
general partners executed a settlement agreement with the RTC to pay off the
existing $10,230,000 loan for $7,855,000 plus the release of the $980,000 Bond
Reserve Fund.  The breakeven reserve and the operating deficit reserve, which
had been held in escrow, were released at closing to the local managing general
partner (who was replaced at closing, as discussed below), who in turn loaned
the reserves to Semper Village to pay the refinancing closing costs.  The
remaining operating funds at the property were used to repay previous operating
deficit loans from the local managing general partner pursuant to the local
partnership agreement.  The Partnership's release of the $552,979 balance in the
breakeven reserve represents payment of the outstanding purchase price payable
of $318,300 and related interest of $56,700.  The remaining $177,979 represents
an additional investment in the Local Partnership.  In addition, at closing the
local managing general partner was replaced with an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner.

     Purchase money notes relating to River Place totaling $2,500,000 plus
accrued interest mature December 31, 1995.  The Managing General Partner has
commenced discussions with the noteholders regarding an extension and
modification of purchase money note due dates.  There is no assurance that any
such agreement will be reached with the noteholders.  Should the noteholders
begin foreclosure proceedings on the Partnership's interest in the related Local
Partnership, the Partnership intends to vigorously defend any action by the

noteholders.  However, there is no assurance that the Partnership will be able
to retain its interest in the Local Partnership.  The purchase money note is
nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the Partnership's interest in the Local
Partnership.  The amount of nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount
of the investments in and advances to the Local Partnership; however, the
investment in River Place represents approximately 78% of the Partnership's
investments in and advances to Local Partnerships as of September 30,1995.  In
addition, for the nine months ended September 30,1995, distributions from River
Place represented approximately 53% of total distributions from Local
Partnerships.  The Partnership's share of income from River Place for the nine
months ended September 30,1995 was approximately $147,000, and the Partnership's
recognized share of income from partnerships for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 was $129,595.

     The following are combined statements of operations for the Local
Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  The statements are compiled
from information supplied by the management agents of the projects and are
unaudited.

     As of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, the Partnership's share of
cumulative losses to date for five and six, respectively, of the eight Local
Partnerships exceeds the amount of the Partnership's investments in and advances
to those Local Partnerships by $7,246,666 and $6,405,470, respectively. As the
Partnership has no further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to
these Local Partnerships, the excess losses have not been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Partnership paid $28,655 and $64,979 for the three and nine months ended
September 30,1995, respectively, and $15,476 and $50,265 for the three and nine
months ended September 30,1994, respectively, as direct reimbursement of

                          -----------------------------

     Capital Realty Investors-85 Limited Partnership's (the Partnership)
liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $1,177,768 and $876,995 as of
September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, along with future cash
distributions from Local Partnerships, is expected to meet its current and
anticipated operating cash needs.  The Partnership's remaining obligations with
respect to its investment in Local Partnerships of $250,000, excluding purchase
money notes and accrued interest, is not in excess of its capital resources.  As
of October 10, 1995, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.

     As of September 30,1995, the Partnership's obligations with respect to its
investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes of
$5,098,000 plus the accrued interest of $8,579,640, are payable upon the
earliest of: (1) sale or refinancing of the respective Local Partnership's
rental property; (2) payment in full of the respective Local Partnership's
permanent loan; or (3) maturity.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal
amount of $2,500,000 mature in December 1995, as discussed below.  Purchase
money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $230,000 mature in 1996.  The
remaining purchase money notes mature from 1999 to 2003.  The purchase money
notes are generally secured by the Partnership's interest in the respective
Local Partnership.  There is no assurance that the underlying properties will
have sufficient appreciation and equity to enable the Partnership to pay the
purchase money notes' principal and accrued interest when due.  If a purchase
money note is not paid in accordance with its terms, the Partnership will either
have to renegotiate the terms of repayment or risk losing its partnership
interest in the Local Partnership.  The Managing General Partner is continuing
to investigate possible alternatives to reduce the Partnership's long-term debt
obligations.  These alternatives include, among others, retaining the cash
available for distribution to meet the purchase money note requirements, buying
out certain purchase money notes at a discounted price, extending the due dates
of certain purchase money notes, or refinancing the respective properties'
underlying debt and using the Partnership's share of the proceeds to pay off or
buy down certain purchase money note obligations.

     Purchase money notes relating to River Place totaling $2,500,000 plus
accrued interest mature December 31, 1995.  The Managing General Partner has
commenced discussions with the noteholders regarding an extension and
modification of purchase money note due dates.  There is no assurance that any
such agreement will be reached with the noteholders.  Should the noteholders
begin foreclosure proceedings on the Partnership's interest in the related Local
Partnership, the Partnership intends to vigorously defend any action by the
noteholders.  However, there is no assurance that the Partnership will be able
to retain its interest in the Local Partnership.  The purchase money note is
nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the Partnership's interest in the Local
Partnership.  The amount of nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount
of the investments in and advances to the Local Partnership; however, the
investment in River Place represents approximately 78% of the Partnership's
investments in and advances to Local Partnerships as of September 30,1995.  In
addition, for the nine months ended September 30,1995, distributions from River
Place represented approximately 53% of total distributions from Local
Partnerships.  The Partnership's share of income from River Place for the nine
months ended September 30,1995 was approximately $147,000, and the Partnership's
recognized share of income from partnerships for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 was $129,595.

          -------------------------------------------------
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
               -----------------------------------

     As of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, the Partnership's
obligations with respect to its investments in Local Partnerships included
$174,600 and $492,900, respectively, due to local general partners, plus accrued
interest on these obligations of $75,400 and $132,100, respectively.

     The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements. 
For the nine months ended September 30,1995, the receipt of distributions from
Local Partnerships was adequate to support operating cash requirements.


                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1995
did not change significantly from the corresponding period in 1994.  However,
the Partnership's share of loss from Local Partnerships decreased for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period in 1994
primarily due to decreased interest expense at two properties as well as
increased rental income and decreased operating expense at one property, which
was partially offset by an increase in interest expense at another property. 
Interest income for the Partnership increased as a result of higher yields on
investments and higher cash balances as compared to the same three-month period
in 1994.  Professional fees incurred by the Partnership decreased due to lower
legal expenses.  Offsetting these decreases in the Partnership's net loss was an
increase in purchase money note interest expense as a result of compounding
interest, as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses
primarily due to the recognition in the third quarter of 1994 of decreased
annual report printing costs.

     The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased from the corresponding period in 1994 primarily due to an increase in
purchase money note interest expense and an increase in general and
administrative expenses, as discussed above.  Partially offsetting the increase
in net loss was an increase in share of income from Local Partnerships, an
increase in interest income and a decrease in professional fees, as discussed
above.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership, as a limited partner in
the Local Partnerships, does not record losses from the Local Partnerships in
excess of its investment to the extent that the Partnership has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships.  As
a result, the Partnership's recognized losses for the three and nine months
ended September 30,1995 did not include losses of $320,030 and $841,196,
respectively, compared to excluded losses of $281,120 and $843,356 for the three
and nine months ended September 30,1994, respectively.

     Deerfield Partners Limited Partnership (Deerfield Apartments) was unable to
generate sufficient cash flow to pay its debt service and therefore was unable
to meet its obligations under the terms of the loan documents.  The Local
Partnership defaulted on its mortgage loan in 1990, and after negotiations with
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), submitted a one-year
workout proposal to the local HUD office, effective May 1, 1991, to which HUD
did not respond.  On July 1, 1992, a second one-year workout proposal was
submitted, effective September 1, 1992, to which HUD did not respond. On
September 17, 1993, a six-year workout proposal, effective October 1, 1993, was

               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
               -----------------------------------

submitted in accordance with HUD's new workout guidelines.  At HUD's request, a
nine-year workout proposal was submitted to HUD on April 15, 1994.  This
proposal was rejected by HUD.  A new nine-year workout proposal was submitted to
HUD on May 31, 1995.  HUD rejected this proposal and notified Deerfield
Apartments that HUD had offered its mortgage loan for sale in September 1995.  A
new mortgagee is scheduled to purchase the loan from HUD on November 10, 1995,
and if the sale is completed as scheduled, could foreclose on the property.  As
of October 10, 1995, Deerfield Apartments had not been notified as to the
intentions of the potential new mortgagee.  The uncertainty about the Local
Partnership's continued ownership of the property does not impact the
Partnership's financial condition because the related purchase money note is
nonrecourse and collateralized solely by the Partnership's interest in the Local
Partnership.  Therefore, should the investment in Deerfield Apartments not
produce sufficient value to satisfy the purchase money note related to Deerfield
Apartments, the Partnership's exposure to loss is limited since the amount of
the nonrecourse indebtedness exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in
and advances to the Local Partnership.  Thus, even a complete loss of this
investment would not have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.  Currently, debt service payments are being made from available
cash flow in accordance with the latest proposed workout.   During 1989 and
1988, the Partnership loaned a total of $196,746 to the Local Partnership to
fund operating deficits.  The Partnership does not expect to advance any
additional funds. The loans do not bear interest and repayment is due upon sale
or refinancing of the property; however, there is no assurance that the Local
Partnership will be able to repay any loans in accordance with the terms.

     Mesa Partners Limited Partnership (The Pointe), located in El Paso, Texas,
modified its mortgage loan in 1987.  In connection with the loan modification,
the Partnership loaned $262,500 to the Local Partnership in 1987.  Repayment of
this loan, with simple interest at 9% per annum, is expected to occur upon sale
or refinancing of the property.  As of September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994,
accrued interest was $194,497 and $176,778, respectively.

     Paradise Associates Limited Partnership (Paradise) was notified by HUD that
HUD planned to offer Paradise's mortgage loan for sale in the Fall of 1995.  If
the mortgage was sold by HUD, a new mortgagee would service the loan and
Paradise would no longer be subject to HUD regulatory requirements.  As of
October 10, 1995, Paradise had not been notified by HUD as to the status of the
loan sale.

     Debt service on Springfield Apartments (Springfield) is due to the lender
on the first day of each month with no "grace period" and substantial late
payment penalties.  Therefore, prior to February 1994, the Partnership had
advanced approximately $65,000 per month to Springfield in the form of a bridge
loan which was to be repaid by the fifteenth of the following month.  The
February 1994 advance to Springfield was held by the Local Partnership to
establish a one-month debt service reserve to eliminate the need for a monthly
bridge loan from the Partnership.  Springfield began repaying a portion of the
non-interest-bearing advances made by the Partnership in April 1994.  As of
September 30,1995 and December 31, 1994, non-interest-bearing loans to
Springfield totalled $381,239 and $509,438, respectively.

     Debt service on Devonshire Apartments (Devonshire) is due to the lender on
the first day of each month with no "grace period" and substantial late payment
penalties.  Therefore, prior to February 1994, the Partnership had advanced
approximately $10,000 per month to Devonshire in the form of a bridge loan which

was to be repaid by the fifteenth of the following month.  The February 1994
advance to Devonshire was held by the Local Partnership to establish a one-month
debt service reserve to eliminate the need for a monthly bridge loan from the
Partnership.  Devonshire began repaying a portion of the non-interest-bearing
advances made by the Partnership in July 1994.  As of December 31, 1994, non-
interest-bearing loans to Devonshire totalled $30,500.  Devonshire paid off the
balance of its loans in January 1995.

     The letter of credit and mortgage loan on Sheridan West Limited Partnership
(Semper Village) originally matured on December 20, 1994.  Pursuant to an
agreement dated January 1, 1995, the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), acting
as receiver for the original mortgagee, assumed the note in lieu of mandatory
redemption by drawing on the letter of credit.  The RTC extended the maturity
date of the letter of credit and mortgage loan to September 1, 1995.  On August
30, 1995, the local general partners refinanced the existing mortgage loan with
SRS Insurance Services, Inc.  In connection with the refinancing, the local
general partners executed a settlement agreement with the RTC to pay off the
existing $10,230,000 loan for $7,855,000 plus the release of the $980,000 Bond
Reserve Fund.  The breakeven reserve and the operating deficit reserve, which
had been held in escrow, were released at closing to the local managing general
partner (who was replaced at closing, as discussed below), who in turn loaned
the reserves to Semper Village to pay the refinancing closing costs.  The
remaining operating funds at the property were used to repay previous operating
deficit loans from the local managing general partner pursuant to the local
partnership agreement.  The Partnership's release of the $552,979 balance in the
breakeven reserve represents payment of the outstanding purchase price payable
of $318,300 and related interest of $56,700.  The remaining $177,979 represents
an additional investment in the Local Partnership.  In addition, at closing the
local managing general partner was replaced with an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner.

     No other significant changes in the Partnership's operations have taken
place during this period.
