ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
          --------

     Capital Realty Investors-85 Limited Partnership (the Partnership) is a
limited partnership which was formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on December 26, 1984.  On November 11, 1985, the Partnership
commenced offering Beneficial Assignee Certificates (BACs) for 60,000 limited
partnership interests through a public offering which was managed by Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Incorporated.  The Partnership had an initial
closing on December 27, 1985 and closed the offering on July 19, 1986, with a
total of 21,200 BACs.

     The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which is
the Managing General Partner, and current and former shareholders of CRI.
Services for the Partnership are performed by CRI, as the Partnership has no
employees of its own.

     The Partnership was formed to invest in real estate, which is the
Partnership's principal business activity, by acquiring and holding a limited
partnership interest in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships).  As of
December 31, 1995, the Partnership has invested in eight Local Partnerships. 
The original objectives of such investments, not necessarily in order of
importance, were to:

     (1)  preserve and protect the Partnership's capital;
     (2)  provide, during the early years of the Partnership's operations,
          current tax benefits to the partners in the form of tax losses which
          the partners may use to offset income from other sources;
     (3)  provide capital appreciation through increases in the value of the
          Partnership's investments and increased equity through periodic
          payments on the indebtedness on the apartment complexes;
     (4)  provide cash distributions from rental operations; and
     (5)  provide cash distributions from sale or refinancing of the
          Partnership's investments.

     See Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of factors affecting the
original investment objectives.

     The Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested were organized
by private developers who acquired the sites, or options thereon, and applied
for applicable mortgage loans and mortgage insurance and/or entered into
construction contracts and remain as the local general partners in the Local
Partnerships.  The Partnership became the principal limited partner in six of
these Local Partnerships pursuant to negotiations with these developers who act
as the local general partners.  However, in the event of non-compliance with the
Local Partnerships' partnership agreements, the local general partner may be
removed and replaced with another local general partner or with an affiliate of
the Partnership's Managing General Partner.  As a limited partner, the
Partnership's legal liability for obligations of the Local Partnership is
limited to its investment.  In two Local Partnerships, the Partnership has
invested as a limited partner in intermediary partnerships which, in turn, have
invested as limited partners in the Local Partnerships.  An affiliate of the
Managing General Partner of the Partnership is also typically a general partner
of the six Local Partnerships and the two intermediary partnerships.  In most
cases, the local general partners of the Local Partnerships retain
responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing
the project. Additionally, the local general partners and affiliates of the
Managing General Partner may operate other apartment complexes which may be in
competition for eligible tenants with the Local Partnerships' apartment

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

     (a)  It is not anticipated that there will be any market for resale of
          interests in the Partnership.  As a result, investors may be unable to
          sell or otherwise dispose of their interest in the Partnership.

     (b)  As of  March 8, 1996, there were approximately 1,900 registered
          holders of BACs in the Partnership.

     (c)  No distributions were declared or paid by the Partnership during 1995
          or 1994.  The Partnership received distributions of $327,334 and
          $232,536 from Local Partnerships during 1995 and 1994, respectively.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          -------------------------------------------------
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               -----------------------------------

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

     As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had approximately 1,900 investors,
who subscribed to a total of 21,200 BACs in the original amount of $21,200,000. 
The Partnership has made investments in eight Local Partnerships.  The
Partnership's liquidity, with unrestricted cash resources of $1,151,683 as of
December 31, 1995, along with anticipated future cash distributions from the
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 Partnership's of $250,000, excluding purchase money notes
and accrued interest, is not in excess of its capital resources.  As of March 8,
1996, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.    Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.  The Partnership implemented SFAS 107 in 1995, and has determined
that the carrying amount of its cash and cash equivalents approximates fair
value.

     During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership received cash distributions of
$327,334, $232,536 and $125,175, respectively, from the Local Partnerships.

     The acquisition of interests in certain Local Partnerships resulted in
purchase money note obligations of the Partnership.  The purchase money notes
are nonrecourse obligations of the Partnership which typically mature ten to
fifteen years from the date of acquisition of the interests in particular Local
Partnerships.

     As of December 31,1995, the Partnership's obligations with respect to its
investments in Local Partnerships, in the form of purchase money notes of
$4,848,000 plus the accrued interest of $7,938,744, 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.  On December 27, 1995, purchase money notes in
an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, which were originally scheduled to
mature on December 31, 1995, were extended to February 1, 1997, as discussed
below.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $230,000
matured on January 30, 1996 but have not been paid, as discussed below.  The
remaining purchase money notes mature from 1997 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.

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

     As of December 31, 1995 and 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.  Outstanding purchase price
payable and related accrued interest of $318,300 and $56,700, respectively, were
paid to the local managing general partner of Sheridan West Limited Partnership
during 1995, as discussed below.

     Purchase money notes relating to River Place, Ltd. totaling $2,500,000 plus
accrued interest were originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 1995.  On
December 27, 1995, the Managing General Partner entered into a purchase option
agreement with the noteholders which grants the noteholders three options to
purchase the Partnership's 98.99% limited partner interest in River Place, Ltd.
over a two-year period.  Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase money
note maturity dates have been extended to February 1, 1997, with interest to
accrue from January 1, 1996 to February 1, 1997 at the Applicable Federal Rate
for short-term obligations (5.65% at January 1, 1996), compounded annually. 
Purchase money note interest of $821,528 which accrued during 1995 has been
forgiven by the noteholders as part of the agreement, and is classified as an
extraordinary gain on the consolidated statement of operations.  On December 28,
1995, the noteholders exercised the first option, which entitled the noteholders
to purchase a 9.9% interest in River Place, Ltd. from the Partnership in
exchange for the forgiveness of purchase money note principal and accrued
interest of $250,000 and $306,015, respectively, resulting in a net financial
statement gain and a net tax gain of $258,957 and $470,855, respectively, in
1995.  On January 2, 1996, the noteholders exercised the second option and
purchased an additional 39.6% interest in River Place, Ltd. from the Partnership
in exchange for the forgiveness of purchase money note principal and accrued
interest of $1,000,000 and $1,661,553, respectively, resulting in a net
financial statement gain and a net tax gain of $1,472,332 and $2,320,873,
respectively, in 1996.  The noteholders have one additional option remaining as
part of the agreement, pursuant to which they may purchase the Partnership's
remaining interest in River Place, Ltd. in exchange for the forgiveness of the
remaining purchase money note principal in the aggregate amount of $1,250,000,
plus the related accrued interest.  The remaining option must be exercised, if
at all, between January 3, 1997 and February 1, 1997.  If the noteholders
exercise their final option prior to its expiration, the Partnership would no
longer have an ownership interest in the Local Partnership, and in accordance
with the purchase option agreement, CRHC, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing
General Partner, would transfer its .01% general partner interest in River
Place, Ltd. to the noteholders and/or their assignees.  Also as part of the
agreement, any future cash flow distributions received by the Partnership from
River Place, Ltd. will be applied towards any unforgiven purchase money note
interest accrued prior to December 31, 1994.  On December 28, 1995, the
noteholders paid a fee in escrow to the Partnership of $35,000, which will be
released to the Partnership upon the execution or expiration of the final option
by the noteholders.  There is no assurance that the noteholders will exercise
the final option prior to its expiration date.  The investment in River Place,
Ltd. represented approximately 78% of the Partnership's investments in and
advances to Local Partnerships as of December 27, 1995.  In addition, for the
period ended December 31, 1995, distributions from River Place, Ltd. represented
approximately 51% of total distributions from Local Partnerships.  The
Partnership's share of income from River Place, Ltd. for the period ended
December 31, 1995 represented approximately 80% of the total share of income

recognized from Local Partnerships.

     The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to Paradise
Associates, L.P. (Paradise Foothills), when the notes matured on January 30,
1996 and were not paid.  The default amount included principal and accrued
interest of $230,000 and $371,288, respectively.  As of March 8, 1996, principal
and accrued interest totalling $230,000 and $377,319, respectively, were due. 
The Managing General Partner has made an offer to the noteholders to extend the
maturity dates to coincide with the completion of the property's nine-year
mortgage workout agreement on May 31, 2003, as discussed below.  As of March 8,
1996, the noteholders had not accepted nor rejected the offer, but had expressed
an interest in discussing the offer in more detail with the Managing General
Partner.  There is no assurance that the noteholders will reach an agreement of
any kind with the Managing General Partner.  Therefore, there can be no
assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the Local
Partnership.  The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the Partnership's
interest in the related Local Partnership does not impact the Partnership's
financial condition because the related purchase money note is nonrecourse and
secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the Local Partnership. 
Therefore, should the investment in Paradise Foothills not produce sufficient
value to satisfy the purchase money note related to Paradise Foothills, 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.

     As a result of recurring operating deficits and the discontinuance of the
funding of the deficits by the local general partner, Paradise Foothills
defaulted on its mortgage loan in August 1989. The local general partner failed
at previous attempts to negotiate a workout, and under the terms of the
co-insurance agreement, the loan was assigned to the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) on July 3, 1991.  From May 1992 through April 1994, the
local general partners submitted various workout proposals to HUD.  Effective
June 1, 1994, a nine-year workout proposal that was submitted to HUD on April
11, 1994 was approved.  

     Paradise Foothills was notified by HUD that HUD had sold Paradise
Foothills' mortgage loan in September 1995.  A new mortgagee now services the
loan and Paradise Foothills is no longer subject to HUD regulatory requirements.
Paradise Foothills continues to pay the mortgage based on the nine-year workout
approved by HUD.

     SFAS 107 requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. With the
exception of the purchase money note relating to Deerfield Apartments, the
Partnership has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value
of the purchase money notes, either individually or in the aggregate, due to: 
(1) the lack of an active market for this type of financial instrument, (2) the
variable nature of purchase money note interest payments as a result of
fluctuating cash flow distributions received from the related Local
Partnerships, and (3) the excessive costs associated with an independent
appraisal of the purchase money notes.  The purchase money note relating to
Deerfield Apartments is estimated to have no fair value as a result of the
anticipated foreclosure upon the property by the property's first mortgage

noteholder, as discussed below.

     The Partnership closely monitors its cash flow and liquidity position in an
effort to ensure that sufficient cash is available for operating requirements. 
In 1995, the receipt of distributions from partnerships was adequate to support
operating cash requirements.

     In 1994, the receipt of distributions from partnerships and the repayment
of advances to partnerships was adequate to support operating cash requirements.

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

     The Partnership's net loss decreased in 1995 from 1994 primarily due to the
extraordinary gain on disposition of a portion of the Partnership's investment
in River Place, Ltd., as discussed above.  Contributing to the decrease in net
loss was an increase in share of income from Local Partnerships as a result of
distributions received from one Local Partnership and a repayment of advances to
one Local Partnership which were in excess of the Partnership's basis in the
respective investments.  Partially offsetting the decrease in net loss was an
increase in purchase money note interest expense as a result of compounding
interest.  Also partially offsetting the decrease in net loss was an increase in
amortization expense due to the write-down of acquisition fees and property
purchase costs relating to Deerfield in order to record the investment at its
net realizable value, as discussed below.

     The Partnership's net loss increased in 1994 from 1993 primarily due to the
forgiveness of accrued interest on The Pointe's purchase money note in 1993. 
Contributing to the increase in net loss was an increase in purchase money note
interest expense as a result of compounding interest.  Partially offsetting the
increase in net loss was an increase in share of income from the Local
Partnerships principally due to a decrease in operating expenses at several
properties and an increase in rental revenues at two properties.  Also partially
offsetting the increase in net loss was a decrease in general and administrative
expenses primarily due to the payment of 1992 expenses in 1993 and a decrease in
annual report printing costs.

     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 years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 did not include losses of $610,490, $484,769 and $1,015,327,
respectively.   The Partnership's net loss recognized from the Local
Partnerships is generally expected to decrease in subsequent years as the
Partnership's investments in the Local Partnerships are reduced to zero. 
Accordingly, excludable losses are generally expected to increase. 
Distributions of $56,886 received from one Local Partnership during 1995 was
offset against the year's recorded losses because this amount was in excess of
the Partnership's investment.  During 1994 and 1993, no distributions were
received which were in excess of the Partnership's investment.  

     Deerfield Partners Limited Partnership (Deerfield) 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 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 that HUD had offered its mortgage loan for sale in September 1995.  A
new mortgagee purchased the loan from HUD on November 16, 1995.  On November 16,
1995, the Local Partnership received a notice of default, acceleration and
assignment of rents from the new mortgagee.  The new mortgagee was scheduled to
foreclose on the property on December 21, 1995.  In order to protect its assets,
the Local Partnership filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the
State of Maryland on December 20, 1995.  The new mortgagee filed motions with
the bankruptcy court for dismissal and for relief from stay.  A hearing on these
motions was originally scheduled for January 23, 1996, however, a continuance
was granted as the Local Partnership and the new mortgagee discussed settlement
options.  On February 27, 1996, Deerfield entered into a term sheet agreement
with the new mortgagee whereby Deerfield will transfer management and control of
the property to the new mortgagee on April 1, 1996, and, at the new mortgagee's
election, will voluntarily transfer ownership of the property to the new
mortgagee no earlier than January 6, 1997, without further consideration.  Any
and all future net cash flow generated by the property prior to the transfer of
ownership, as defined in the term sheet agreement, will be applied towards
outstanding accrued interest on the defaulted first mortgage loan.  There were
no cash distributions received by the Partnership from the property during 1995,
1994 or 1993.  During 1989 and 1988, the Partnership loaned a total of $196,746
to the Local Partnership to fund operating deficits.  The Partnership advanced
net funds of $2,341 and $3,659 in December 1995 and February 1996, respectively,
to fund operating deficits while the Local Partnership was seeking bankruptcy
protection.  The Partnership does not expect to advance any additional funds. 
The loans do not bear interest and repayment is due upon the disposition of the
property; however, there is no assurance that the Local Partnership will be able
to repay any loans in accordance with the terms.

     The reports of the auditors on the financial statements of Deerfield for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 indicate that substantial doubt
exists about the ability of this Local Partnership to continue as a going
concern due to the property's recurring operating deficits and the Local
Partnership's default on its mortgage.  The anticipated transfer of the Local
Partnership's ownership of the property does not impact the Partnership's
financial condition because the related purchase money note is nonrecourse and
secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership. 
The Partnership's investment in Deerfield had previously been reduced to zero as
a result of losses from the Local Partnership during prior years.  Acquisition
fees and property purchase costs relating to Deerfield were fully amortized as
of December 31, 1995 in order to record the investment at its net realizable
value.  Therefore, since the investment in Deerfield is not expected to produce
sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money note, 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, the complete loss of this investment will not have a
material impact on the operations of the Partnership.

     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 December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
accrued interest was $200,402 and $176,778, respectively.

     Effective July 1, 1993, the Springfield Apartments (Springfield) first
mortgage loan was extended to June 30, 1996.  As of December 31, 1995, the
Partnership had advanced the funds necessary to cover the lender's closing costs
of $4,022 and property painting costs required by the lender of $34,000. 
Further, debt service 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 December 31, 1995 and 1994, non-interest-bearing loans to
Springfield totalled $354,239 and $509,438, respectively.  The Local Partnership
is currently investigating its refinancing options in connection with the
expiration of the first mortgage loan extension.  There is no assurance that
Springfield will be able to repay any loans in accordance with the terms, or
that new financing will be obtained upon expiration of the first mortgage loan
extension.

     Effective August 1, 1993, the Devonshire Apartments (Devonshire) first
mortgage loan was extended to July 31, 1996.  As of December 31, 1995, the
Partnership had advanced the funds necessary to cover the lender's closing costs
of $2,293.  Further, debt service 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 Local Partnership is currently investigating its refinancing
options in connection with the expiration of the first mortgage loan extension. 
There is no assurance that Devonshire will be able to obtain new financing upon
expiration of the first mortgage loan extension.

     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

31, 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.

                                    Inflation
                                    ---------

     Inflation allows for increases in rental rates, usually offsetting any
higher operating and replacement costs.  Furthermore, inflation generally does
not impact the fixed rate long-term financing under which the real property
investments were purchased.  Future inflation could allow for appreciated values
of the Local Partnerships' properties over an extended period of time as rental
revenues and replacement values gradually increase.

To the Partners
Capital Realty Investors-85
  Limited Partnership

     We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Capital Realty
Investors-85 Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We did not audit the financial statements for six of the Local
Partnerships in 1995, 1994 and 1993, which are accounted for as described in
Note 1d.  The financial statements of these Local Partnerships were audited by
other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion
expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these Local
Partnerships, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of the other
auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Capital Realty
Investors-85 Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of its operations, changes in partners' deficit and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Organization
          ------------

          Capital Realty Investors-85 Limited Partnership (the Partnership) was
     formed under the Maryland Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act on
     December 26, 1984 and shall continue until December 31, 2039, unless sooner
     dissolved in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership was
     formed to invest in real estate by acquiring and holding a limited
     partnership interest in limited partnerships (Local Partnerships) which own
     and operate apartment complexes.

          The General Partners of the Partnership are C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), which
     is the Managing General Partner, and current and former shareholders of
     CRI.  The Initial Limited Partner is Rockville Pike Associates Limited
     Partnership-V, a limited partnership which includes certain officers and
     former employees of CRI.  The Special Limited Partner is Two Broadway
     Associates, a limited partnership which includes an affiliate and employees
     of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated.

          The Partnership sold 21,200 BACs at $1,000 per BAC through a public
     offering.  The offering period was terminated on July 19, 1986.

     b.   Method of accounting
          --------------------

          The financial statements of the Partnership are prepared on the
     accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles.

     c.   Principles of consolidation
          ---------------------------

          These financial statements include the accounts of two intermediary
     limited partnerships which have invested in two Local Partnerships which
     own and operate apartment complexes.

     d.   Investments in and advances to partnerships
          -------------------------------------------

          The investments in and advances to Local Partnerships (see Note 2) are
     accounted for by the equity method because the Partnership is a limited
     partner in the Local Partnerships.  Under this method, the carrying amount
     of the investments in and advances to Local Partnerships is (i) reduced by
     distributions received and (ii) increased or reduced by the Partnership's
     share of earnings or losses, respectively, of the Local Partnerships.  As
     of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership's share of the cumulative
     losses of six of the Local Partnerships exceeds the amount of the
     Partnership's investment in and advances to those Local Partnerships by
     $6,386,262 and $6,405,470, respectively.  Since the Partnership has no
     further obligation to advance funds or provide financing to these Local
     Partnerships, except as described herein, the excess losses have not been
     reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of
     December 31, 1995 and 1994, cumulative cash distributions of $79,315 and
     $22,429, respectively, have been received from the Local Partnerships for
     which the Partnership's carrying value is zero.  These distributions are
     recorded as  increases in the Partnership's share of income from
     partnerships.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

          Costs incurred in connection with acquiring these investments have
     been capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method
     over the estimated useful lives of the properties owned by the Local
     Partnerships, with exception to those costs relating to River Place, Ltd.
     which are no longer being amortized as a result of its classification as an
     asset held for sale as of December 31, 1995.  Those costs relating to
     Deerfield Partners Limited Partnership have been fully amortized as of
     December 31, 1995, as discussed below.

     e.   Fair value of financial instruments
          -----------------------------------

          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
     About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the
     disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which
     it is practicable to estimate that value.  The Partnership implemented SFAS
     107 in 1995.

     f.   Cash and cash equivalents
          -------------------------

          Cash and cash equivalents consist of all money market funds,time and
     demand deposits, repurchase agreements and commercial paper with original
     maturities of three months or less.  The Partnership has determined that
     the carrying amount of its cash and cash equivalents approximates fair
     value.

     g.   Offering costs
          --------------

          The Partnership incurred certain costs in connection with the offering
     and selling of BACs.  Such costs were recorded as a reduction of partners'
     capital when incurred.

     h.   Income taxes
          ------------

          For federal and state income tax purposes, each partner reports on his
     personal income tax return his share of the Partnership's income or loss as
     determined for tax purposes.  Accordingly, no provision (credit) has been
     made for income taxes in these consolidated financial statements.

     i.   Use of estimates
          ----------------

          In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles, the Partnership is required to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the
     reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     j.   Assets held for sale
          --------------------

          On December 27, 1995, the Managing General Partner entered into a
     purchase option agreement for the sale of the Partnership's 98.99% limited
     partnership interest in River Place, Ltd.  The sale is expected to be
     completed by February 1, 1997, as discussed below.  Accordingly, the
     investment in this Local Partnership was classified as an investment held
     for sale on the balance sheet as of December 31, 1995.  Assets held for
     sale are not recorded in excess of their estimated net realizable value.

     a.   Due on investment in partnerships
          ---------------------------------

          As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had acquired limited
     partnership interests in eight Local Partnerships, which were organized to
     develop, construct, own, maintain and operate multifamily apartment
     complexes. The remaining principal amounts due on investments in the Local
     Partnerships as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

     from 9% to 14%, compounded annually.  The purchase money notes 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.  On December 27, 1995,
     purchase money notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, which
     were originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 1995, were extended to
     February 1, 1997, as discussed below.  Purchase money notes in an aggregate
     principal amount of $230,000 matured on January 30, 1996 but have not been
     paid, as discussed below.  The remaining purchase money notes mature from
     1997 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 and unpaid
     purchase price for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was
     $1,668,558, $1,417,693 and $1,320,665, respectively.  The accrued interest
     on the purchase money notes of $7,938,744 and $7,416,795 as of December 31,
     1995 and 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 respective Local Partnership
     agreements.

          Purchase money notes relating to River Place, Ltd. totaling $2,500,000
     plus accrued interest were originally scheduled to mature on December 31,
     1995.  On December 27, 1995, the Managing General Partner entered into a
     purchase option agreement with the noteholders which grants the noteholders
     three options to purchase the Partnership's 98.99% limited partner interest
     in River Place, Ltd. over a two-year period.  Under the terms of the
     agreement, the purchase money note maturity dates have been extended to
     February 1, 1997, with interest to accrue from January 1, 1996 to February
     1, 1997 at the Applicable Federal Rate for short-term obligations (5.65% at
     January 1, 1996), compounded annually.  Purchase money note interest of
     $821,528 which accrued during 1995 has been forgiven by the noteholders as
     part of the agreement, and is classified as an extraordinary gain on the
     consolidated statement of operations.  On December 28, 1995, the
     noteholders exercised the first option, which entitled the noteholders to
     purchase a 9.9% interest in River Place, Ltd. from the Partnership in
     exchange for the forgiveness of purchase money note principal and accrued
     interest of $250,000 and $306,015, respectively, resulting in a net
     financial statement gain and a net tax gain of $258,957 and $470,855,
     respectively, in 1995.  On January 2, 1996, the noteholders exercised the
     second option and purchased an additional 39.6% interest in River Place,
     Ltd. from the Partnership in exchange for the forgiveness of purchase money
     note principal and accrued interest of $1,000,000 and $1,661,553,
     respectively, resulting in a net financial statement gain and a net tax

     gain of $1,472,332 and $2,320,873, respectively, in 1996.  The noteholders
     have one additional option remaining as part of the agreement, pursuant to
     which they may purchase the Partnership's remaining interest in River
     Place, Ltd. in exchange for the forgiveness of the remaining purchase money
     note principal in the aggregate amount of $1,250,000, plus the related
     accrued interest.  The remaining option must be exercised, if at all,
     between January 3, 1997 and February 1, 1997.  If the noteholders exercise
     their final option prior to its expiration, the Partnership would no longer
     have an ownership interest in the Local Partnership, and in accordance with
     the purchase option agreement, CRHC, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing
     General Partner, would transfer its .01% general partner interest in River
     Place, Ltd. to the noteholders and/or their assignees.  Also as part of the
     agreement, any future cash flow distributions received by the Partnership
     from River Place, Ltd. will be applied towards any unforgiven purchase
     money note interest accrued prior to December 31, 1994.  On December 28,
     1995, the noteholders paid a fee in escrow to the Partnership of $35,000,
     which will be released to the Partnership upon the execution or expiration
     of the final option by the noteholders.  There is no assurance that the
     noteholders will exercise the final option prior to its expiration date. 
     The investment in River Place, Ltd. represented approximately 78% of the
     Partnership's investments in and advances to Local Partnerships as of
     December 27, 1995.  In addition, for the period ended December 31, 1995,
     distributions from River Place, Ltd. represented approximately 51% of total
     distributions from Local Partnerships.  The Partnership's share of income
     from River Place, Ltd. for the period ended December 31, 1995 represented
     approximately 80% of the total share of income reorganized from Local
     Partnerships.

          The Partnership defaulted on its purchase money notes relating to
     Paradise Associates, L.P. (Paradise Foothills), when the notes matured on
     January 30, 1996 and were not paid.  The default amount included principal
     and accrued interest of $230,000 and $371,288, respectively.  As of March
     8, 1996, principal and accrued interest totalling $230,000 and $377,319,
     respectively, were due.  The Managing General Partner has made an offer to
     the noteholders to extend the maturity dates to coincide with the
     completion of the property's nine-year mortgage workout agreement on May
     31, 2003, as discussed below.  As of March 8, 1996, the noteholders had not
     accepted nor rejected the offer, but had expressed an interest in
     discussing the offer in more detail with the Managing General Partner. 
     There is no assurance that the noteholders will reach an agreement of any
     kind with the Managing General Partner.  Therefore, there can be no
     assurance that the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the
     Local Partnership.  The uncertainty about the continued ownership of the
     Partnership's interest in the related Local Partnership does not impact the
     Partnership's financial condition because the related purchase money note
     is nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's interest in the
     Local Partnership.  Therefore, should the investment in Paradise Foothills
     not produce sufficient value to satisfy the purchase money note related to
     Paradise Foothills, 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.

          As a result of recurring operating deficits and the discontinuance of
     the funding of the deficits by the local general partner, Paradise
     Foothills defaulted on its mortgage loan in August 1989. The local general

     partner failed at previous attempts to negotiate a workout, and under the
     terms of the co-insurance agreement, the loan was assigned to the
     Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on July 3, 1991.  From
     May 1992 through April 1994, the local general partners submitted various
     workout proposals to HUD.  Effective June 1, 1994, a nine-year workout
     proposal that was submitted to HUD on April 11, 1994 was approved.

          Paradise Foothills was notified by HUD that HUD had sold Paradise
     Foothills' mortgage loan in September 1995.  A new mortgagee now services
     the loan and Paradise Foothills is no longer subject to HUD regulatory
     requirements.  Paradise Foothills continues to pay the mortgage based on
     the nine-year workout approved by HUD.

          SFAS 107 requires the disclosure of fair value information about
     financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
     With the exception of the purchase money note relating to Deerfield
     Apartments, the Partnership has determined that it is not practicable to
     estimate the fair value of the purchase money notes, either individually or
     in the aggregate, due to:  (1) the lack of an active market for this type
     of financial instrument, (2) the variable nature of purchase money note
     interest payments as a result of fluctuating cash flow distributions
     received from the related Local Partnerships, and (3) the excessive costs
     associated with an independent appraisal of the purchase money notes.  The
     purchase money note relating to Deerfield Apartments is estimated to have
     no value as a result of the anticipated foreclosure upon the property by
     the property's first mortgage noteholder, as discussed below.

     b.   Interests in profits, losses and cash distributions
          ---------------------------------------------------

          With the exception of the Partnership's investment in River Place,
     Ltd., as discussed above, the Partnership has a 97.99% to 98.99% interest
     in profits, losses and cash distribution of each Local Partnership.  An
     affiliate of the General Partners of the Partnership is also a general
     partner of each Local Partnership or the intermediary partnership which
     invests in the Local Partnership.  As stipulated by the Local Partnerships'
     partnership agreements, six of the Local Partnerships are required to make
     annual cash distributions from surplus cash flow, if any.  As of December
     31, 1995, two of the Local Partnerships had surplus cash, as defined by the
     respective partnership agreement, in the amount of $351,845. During 1995,
     1994 and 1993, the Partnership received cash distributions from rental
     operations of the Local Partnerships of $327,334, $232,536 and $125,175,
     respectively. 

          Upon sale, refinancing or liquidation of each Local Partnership, the
     proceeds from the sale, refinancing or liquidation shall be distributed in
     accordance with the  provisions of each Local Partnership's partnership
     agreement.  In accordance with such provisions, the Partnership would
     receive from such proceeds its respective percentage interest of any
     remaining proceeds, after payment of: (1) all debts and liabilities of the
     Local Partnership and certain other items, (2) the Partnership's capital
     contributions plus certain specified preferred returns to the Partnership
     and (3) certain special distributions to general partners and related
     entities of the Local Partnership.

     c.   Property matters
          ----------------

          Deerfield Partners Limited Partnership (Deerfield) 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 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 that HUD had offered its mortgage loan for sale in September
     1995.  A new mortgagee purchased the loan from HUD on November 16, 1995. 
     On November 16, 1995, the Local Partnership received a notice of default,
     acceleration and assignment of rents from the new mortgagee.  The new
     mortgagee was scheduled to foreclose on the property on December 21, 1995. 
     In order to protect its assets, the Local Partnership filed for bankruptcy
     protection under Chapter 11 in the State of Maryland on December 20, 1995. 
     The new mortgagee filed motions with the bankruptcy court for dismissal and
     for relief from stay.  A hearing on these motions was originally scheduled
     for January 23, 1996, however, a continuance was granted as the Local
     Partnership and the new mortgagee discussed settlement options.  On
     February 27, 1996, Deerfield entered into a term sheet agreement with the
     new mortgagee whereby Deerfield will transfer management and control of the
     property to the new mortgagee on April 1, 1996, and, at the new mortgagee's
     election, will voluntarily transfer ownership of the property to the new
     mortgagee no earlier than January 6, 1997, without further consideration. 
     Any and all future net cash flow generated by the property prior to the
     transfer of ownership, as defined in the term sheet agreement, will be
     applied towards outstanding accrued interest on the defaulted first
     mortgage loan.  There were no cash distributions received by the
     Partnership from the property during 1995, 1994 or 1993.  During 1989 and
     1988, the Partnership loaned a total of $196,746 to the Local Partnership
     to fund operating deficits.  The Partnership advanced net funds of $2,341
     and $3,659 in December 1995 and February 1996, respectively, to fund
     operating deficits while the Local Partnership was seeking bankruptcy
     protection.  The Partnership does not expect to advance any additional
     funds.  The loans do not bear interest and repayment is due upon the
     disposition of the property; however, there is no assurance that the Local
     Partnership will be able to repay any loans in accordance with the terms.

          The reports of the auditors on the financial statements of Deerfield
     for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 indicate that
     substantial doubt exists about the ability of this Local Partnership to
     continue as a going concern due to the property's recurring operating
     deficits and the Local Partnership's default on its mortgage.  The
     anticipated transfer of the Local Partnership's ownership of the property
     does not impact the Partnership's financial condition because the related
     purchase money note is nonrecourse and secured solely by the Partnership's
     interest in the related Local Partnership.  The Partnership's investment in
     Deerfield had previously been reduced to zero as a result of losses from
     the Local Partnership during prior years.  Acquisition fees and property

     purchase costs relating to Deerfield were fully amortized as of December
     31, 1995 in order to record the investment at its net realizable value. 
     Therefore, since the investment in Deerfield is not expected to produce
     sufficient value to satisfy the related purchase money note, 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, the complete loss of this
     investment will not have a material impact on the operations of the
     Partnership.

          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 December
     31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, accrued interest was $200,402 and $176,778,
     respectively.

          Effective July 1, 1993, the Springfield Apartments (Springfield) first
     mortgage loan was extended to June 30, 1996.  As of December 31, 1995, the
     Partnership had advanced the funds necessary to cover the lender's closing
     costs of $4,022 and property painting costs required by the lender of
     $34,000.  Further, debt service 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 December 31, 1995 and 1994, non-interest-bearing loans
     to Springfield totalled $354,239 and $509,438, respectively.  The Local
     Partnership is currently investigating its refinancing options in
     connection with the expiration of the first mortgage loan extension.  There
     is no assurance that Springfield will be able to repay any loans in
     accordance with the terms, or that new financing will be obtained upon
     expiration of the first mortgage loan extension.

          Effective August 1, 1993, the Devonshire Apartments (Devonshire) first
     mortgage loan was extended to July 31, 1996.  As of December 31, 1995, the
     Partnership had advanced the funds necessary to cover the lender's closing
     costs of $2,293.  Further, debt service 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 Local Partnership is currently investigating its
     refinancing options in connection with the expiration of the first mortgage
     loan extension.  There is no assurance that Devonshire will be able to
     obtain new financing upon expiration of the first mortgage loan extension.

          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 31, 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.

          For federal income tax purposes, the Local Partnerships report on a
     basis whereby:  (1) certain revenue and the related assets are recorded
     when received rather than when earned; (2) certain costs are expensed when
     paid or incurred rather than capitalized and amortized over the period of
     benefit; and (3) a shorter life is used to compute depreciation of the
     property for tax purposes as permitted by Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
     Regulations.  These returns are subject to audit and, therefore, possible
     adjustment by the IRS.

          A reconciliation of the Local Partnerships' financial statement net

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership paid the
Managing General Partner a fee for services in connection with the review,
selection, evaluation, negotiation and acquisition of the interests in the Local
Partnerships and a fee for its services in connection with the initial
management of the Partnership through 1989. The Partnership paid $424,000 in
acquisition fees.  The acquisition fees were capitalized and are being amortized
over a thirty-year period using the straight-line method, with exceptions as
discussed in Note 1(d).

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing General Partner for its direct expenses
in managing the Partnership and to pay an annual incentive management fee (the
Management Fee), after all other expenses of the Partnership are paid.  For the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership paid $86,907,
$68,747 and $72,915, respectively, as direct reimbursement of expenses incurred
on behalf of the Partnership.  Such expenses are included in the consolidated
statements of operations as general and administrative expenses.

     The amount of the Management Fee shall be equal to .50% of equity payments,
as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and shall be payable from the
Partnership's cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, as of the end of each calendar year on a monthly basis as an
operating expense before any distributions to limited partners in the amount
computed as described in the Partnership Agreement, provided that such amount
shall not exceed $97,930. The Partnership paid the Managing General Partner a
Management Fee of $97,930 for each of the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993.

4.   PARTNERSHIP PROFITS AND LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     All profits and losses prior to the first date on which the first BAC
Holders were admitted were allocated to affiliates of the General Partners. 
Upon admission of the first BAC Holder, such interests were reduced.  The BAC
Holders own 96% of the Partnership.  The net proceeds resulting from the
liquidation of the Partnership or the Partnership's share of the net proceeds
from any sale or refinancing of the projects or their rental properties shall be
distributed and applied as follows:

        (i)    to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Partnership
               (including all expenses of the Partnership incident to the sale
               or refinancing) other than loans or other debts and liabilities
               of the Partnership to any partner or any affiliate, such debts
               and liabilities, in the case of a nonliquidating distribution, to
               be only those which are then required to be paid or, in the
               judgment of the Managing General Partner, required to be provided
               for;
       (ii)    to the establishment of any reserves which the Managing General
               Partner deems reasonably necessary for contingent, unmatured or
               unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership;
      (iii)    except in the case of a refinancing, to each partner in an amount
               equal to the positive balance in his capital account as of the
               date of the sale, adjusted for operations and distributions to
               that date, but before allocation of any profits for tax purposes
               realized from such sale or refinancing and allocated pursuant to
               the Partnership Agreement;
       (iv)    to the Assignees and BAC Holders an aggregate amount of proceeds
               from sale or refinancing and all prior sales or refinancings
               equal to their capital contributions, without reduction for prior
               cash distributions other than prior distributions of sale and
               refinancing proceeds;
        (v)    to the Special Limited Partner an amount equal to 1% of the sum
               of the sale and refinancing proceeds less the amounts set forth
               above;
       (vi)    to the Assignees and BAC Holders, an amount for each fiscal year
               after 1986, equal to a noncompounded cumulative return of 6% per
               annum of the capital contribution paid by each Assignee and each
               BAC Holder, which additional amount may be increased by a Tax
               Bracket Adjustment Factor, and reduced, but not below zero, by
               distributions of net cash flow to each Assignee and BAC Holder;
               and to the Special and Initial Limited Partners, in the amount of
               their capital contributions, respectively;

      (vii)    to the repayment of any unrepaid loans theretofore made by any
               partner or any affiliate to the Partnership for Partnership
               obligations and to the payment of any unpaid amounts owing to the
               General Partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement;
     (viii)    to the General Partners in the amount of their capital
               contributions;
       (ix)    thereafter, in equal shares to the General Partners for services
               to the Partnership and to the Special Limited Partner whether or
               not any is then a general partner or special limited partner (or
               their designees), an aggregate fee of 1% of the gross proceeds
               resulting from (A) such sale (if the proceeds are from a sale
               rather than a refinancing) and (B) any prior sales from which
               such 1% fee was not paid to the General Partners or the Special
               Limited Partner or their designees;
        (x)    to the General Partners, the Initial Limited Partner and the
               Special Limited Partner an amount equal to the total of all
               accrued but unpaid portions of the Deferred Cash Flow Return
               which were previously deferred; and
       (xi)    the remainder, 12% in the aggregate to the General Partners and
               the Initial Limited Partner (or their assignees) (11.51% to the
               General Partners and .49% to the Initial Limited Partner), 85% in
               the aggregate to the Assignees and BAC Holders, as a group (or
               their assignees) and 3% to the Special Limited Partner.

     Fees payable to the General Partners and the Special Limited Partner (or
their designees) under (ix) above, together with all other property disposition
fees and any other commissions or fees payable upon the sale of apartment
complexes, shall not in the aggregate exceed the lesser of the competitive rate
or 6% of the sales price of the apartment complexes.

     If there are insufficient funds to make payment in full of all amounts, the
funds then available for payment shall be allocated proportionately among the
persons entitled to payment pursuant to such subsection of the Partnership
Agreement.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, all cash available for
distribution, as defined, shall be accrued at 89% to the Assignees and to the
BAC Holders (other than the Initial Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner), 2.5% to the Special Limited Partner, .49% to the Initial Limited
Partner and 8.01% to the General Partners after payment of the Management Fee
(see Note 6a), as specified in the Partnership Agreement.  All cash available
for distribution, as defined, shall be distributed, not less frequently than
annually, as follows:


     a.   1% to the Special Limited Partner; and

     b.   89% to the Assignees and to the BAC Holders and 10% to the General
          Partners, Special Limited Partner,and Initial Limited Partner, except
          that the 10% to the General Partners, Special Limited Partner, and
          Initial Limited Partner shall be subordinated to the Preferred Cash
          Flow Return to the Assignees which is calculated to be 7.332% based on
          the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

     The Partnership had cash available for distribution, as defined in the
Partnership Agreement, prior to the establishment of any reserves deemed
necessary by the Managing General Partner and after payment of the Management
Fee, of approximately $100,000, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.  No distributions were declared or paid during the

5.   RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT NET LOSS TO
          INCOME TAX LOSS

     For federal income tax purposes, the Partnership reports on a basis
whereby:  (1) certain expenses are amortized rather than expensed when incurred;
(2) certain costs are amortized over a shorter period for tax purposes, as
permitted by IRS Regulations; and (3) certain costs are amortized over a longer
period for tax purposes.  The Partnership records its share of losses from its
investments in limited partnerships for federal income tax purposes as reported
on the Local Partnerships' federal income tax returns (see Note 2e), including
losses in excess of related investments amounts.  These returns are subject to
audit and, therefore, possible adjustment by the IRS.  

     A reconciliation of the Partnership's financial statement net loss to the
income tax loss for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is as
follows:

     Deposit held by escrow agent
     ----------------------------

          The Partnership established an escrow for Semper Village from the
     Partnership's outstanding capital contributions, purchase price and
     purchase price interest, with respect to its investment in the Local
     Partnership.  In connection to the refinancing of the property's first
     mortgage, as previously discussed, the balance of the escrow of $552,979
     was released to the Local Partnership on August 30, 1995. The deposit held
     by the escrow agent, including interest earned on the funds, amounted to
     $531,069 as of December 31, 1994.  No funds were released to the Local
     Partnership during 1994 and 1993.

To the Partners
Capital Realty Investors-85
  Limited Partnership

     In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of
Capital Realty Investors-85 Limited Partnership referred to in our report dated
March 8, 1996, which is included in this Form 10-K, we have also audited
Schedule III as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.  We did not audit the
financial statements for six of the Local Partnerships in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
which are accounted for as described in Note 1d.  In our opinion, this schedule
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be set
forth therein.
