                                  (UNAUDITED)

   Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
which are included in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.


(1)  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

   LincAm Properties Ltd. Series 85 (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership formed in August 1985 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act
of the State of Illinois.  The balance sheets at June 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by Management of
the Partnership and have not been audited by the Partnership's independent
auditors.

   Included in the statement of operations and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 are the operations of its consolidated joint
venture which was sold on April 12, 1995.

   For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
an investment in a money market account and other investments (having daily
availability) at cost which approximates market.

   The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting as adjusted for Federal income tax reporting purposes.  The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared from such records
after making appropriate adjustments to reflect the Partnership's accounts
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Such
adjustments are not recorded on the records of the Partnership.  The net
effect of these items is summarized below:

                        =========== ==========   ==========    ========== 

   The net income and cash distributions per limited partnership interest,
as presented for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
based upon the limited partnership interests outstanding at the end of the
periods (25,016).

   No provision for Federal income taxes has been made as any liability,
for such taxes, is that of the partners rather than the Partnership.

   Management of the Partnership has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   On January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", which
changes the Partnership's current method of accounting for its real estate
property investments when circumstances indicate that carrying amount of
the property may not be recoverable.  Properties held for sale will
continue to be reflected at the lower of historical cost or estimated fair
value less anticipated selling costs.  In addition, properties held for
sale will no longer be depreciated.

   Losses in carrying values of investment assets are provided by 
management when the losses become apparent and the investment asset is
considered impaired.  Management evaluates its investment properties at
least quarterly to assess whether any impairment indications are present,
comparing undiscounted future cash flows with the carrying amount of the
asset.  If any investment asset is considered impaired, a loss is provided
to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated value.

   During the three months ended June 30, 1996 a loss of $170,000 was
recorded relating to the pending sale of the 1880 Country Farm Drive
facility, so that this property held for sale is carried at its estimated
fair value at June 30, 1996.  Rental income of $182,500 net of $2,001
management fees has been treated as a partial recovery in the determination
of the estimated market value of this property.  Accordingly, such amounts
are excluded from the operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996.  Management believes that no other assets are impaired;
therefore, no other such losses have been required to be recognized or
provided for in the accompanying financial statements.


(2)  INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

   (A)  GENERAL

       The Partnership has acquired, either directly or through a joint
venture (Note 3), three apartment complexes, a distribution center, and a
warehouse/research facility.  One apartment complex was sold in 1993. 
Another apartment complex acquired through the joint venture was sold in
1995.

       Depreciation on the investment properties acquired has been provided
over the estimated useful lives of five to forty years using the straight-
line method.

       Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as
incurred.  Expenditures which materially add to the value or utility of the
property or appreciably prolong its useful life are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

   (B)  OAK VIEW APARTMENTS

       On September 30, 1986, the Partnership acquired the Oak View
Apartments, a recently constructed 124 unit apartment complex located in
the Augusta, Georgia metropolitan area, and title to the approximately
twenty acre parcel of land on which the complex is situated.

       The Partnership's purchase price was $3,604,460, excluding closing
costs, fees, reserves and prorations, and was determined by arm's-length
negotiations.

       An affiliate of the General Partners manages the apartment complex
for a fee equal to 5% of the gross revenue of the property.

   (C)  5521 MEADOWBROOK COURT DISTRIBUTION CENTER

       On January 12, 1987, the Partnership acquired for $2,492,500 an
approximately 50,000 square foot distribution center and the approximately
110,000 square foot parcel of land on which the building is situated.  The
property is located at 5521 Meadowbrook Court in Rolling Meadows, Illinois,
and has been leased to Komori America , Inc. since February 11, 1991. 
Komori America, Inc. entered into a thirty-two month lease agreement which
commenced August 16, 1993.  Under the terms of the lease the tenant
occupied approximately 41.67% of the distribution center and paid base rent
of $4.85 per square foot in year one.  The base rent increased to $4.90 on
August 1, 1994.  Komori America, Inc. amended their lease effective
February 1, 1994 to occupy an additional 4,167 square feet (8.33%) for
$2.75 per square foot.  Komori America, Inc.'s lease expired on May 31,
1996 at which time they vacated the 50% of the distribution center they had
occupied.  The Partnership has contracted with an outside broker to
actively market the property for lease and/or sale.

       On January 11, 1994, the Partnership leased the 25,000 square feet
of the distribution center to Samsung America, Inc.  The thirty-eight month
lease commenced March 6, 1994 and provides for an annual base rent of $3.75
per square foot in year one.  The terms of the lease provide for three
percent annual increases in the base rent.  The terms of the lease also
provide that the tenant be responsible for their proportionate share of all
operating expenses, including real estate taxes, during the term of the
lease. 

       An affiliate of the General Partners manages and provides leasing
services for the distribution center for a fee equal to 6% of the gross
revenue of the property.

   (D)  WALKER'S MARK APARTMENTS

       On July 29, 1987, the Partnership acquired for $5,950,000 the
Walker's Mark Apartments, a 164 unit apartment complex located in Dallas,
Texas, and title to the approximately seven acre parcel of land on which
the complex is situated.

       On August 19, 1993, the Partnership sold this apartment complex for
$6,585,000.  The Partnership received $911,617 in cash (after closing costs
and commissions) and a note receivable for $5,485,000 which is secured by a
first mortgage on the property.  Through June, 1996 the Partnership
received monthly payments of interest only, at an annual rate of 7.5% with
the note balance due October 1, 1997.  The note may be prepaid without
penalty at any time.  Pursuant to the note agreement the buyer is required
to deposit with the seller monthly payments for real estate taxes.  At June
30, 1996 and 1995, $64,788 and $75,000, respectively, are recorded as funds
held for others.

       On July 2, 1996, the buyer prepaid the note.  The Partnership
intends to distribute the proceeds from collection of this note in
September 1996.

   (E)  1880 COUNTRY FARM DRIVE FACILITY

       On July 1, 1988, the Partnership acquired a recently completed,
approximately 162,000 square foot office and warehouse/research facility
and title to the approximately 354,000 square foot parcel of land on which
the building is situated.  The property is located at 1880 Country Farm
Drive in Naperville, Illinois, and is leased to Babson Bros. for a ten-year
lease term commencing September, 1987.  Babson Bros. Co. has two 5-year
options to renew its lease at market rates.

       The Partnership's purchase price was $7,840,000 excluding closing
costs, fees, reserves and prorations, and was determined by arm's-length
negotiations.

       An affiliate of the General Partners manages the property for a fee
equal to 1% of the gross revenue of the property.

       The Partnership has contracted to sell this facility and the land on
which the building is located in an all cash transaction for $6,575,000. 
The sale is expected to close in September 1996.


(3)  VENTURE AGREEMENT - LINCAM BARTON VENTURE

   On May 21, 1986, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
with an affiliate of the General Partners of the Partnership to acquire a
60% interest in Barton Creek Landing Apartments, a 250 unit apartment
complex located in Austin, Texas, and title to the approximately nineteen
acre parcel of land on which the complex is situated.  The Partnership and
its venture partner made initial cash capital contributions of $2,496,000
and $1,664,000, respectively, to the joint venture partnership (the "Joint
Venture"), which also received a loan from the Partnership's venture
partner in the amount of $8,750,000.  These funds were used to pay the
property's purchase price of $12,500,000.  On December 22, 1986, the Joint
Venture replaced the loan with additional equity totalling $8,750,000
contributed to the Joint Venture by the Partnership and its venture partner
in proportion to their respective ownership percentages.

   On April 12, 1995, the Joint Venture sold this apartment complex for
$14,871,600 in an all cash transaction.  The Partnership received
approximately $8,950,000 in cash distributions from the joint venture which
was used to repay debt (see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements) and
make a special distribution of $3,537,616 or a $140 per limited partnership
interest.


(4)  NOTE PAYABLE

   The Partnership paid the $5,000,000 note which was owed to a bank in
full in April 1995 upon closing of the sale of the Barton Creek Landing
Apartments.

(6)  ADJUSTMENTS

   In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying
amounts as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On October 23, 1985, the Partnership commenced an offering of $25,000,000
(subject to increase by up to $15,000,000) of Limited Partnership Interests
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act
of 1933.  The offering of Limited Partnership Interests terminated April
15, 1986.  A total of 25,015 Interests were assigned to the public between
October 23, 1985 and May 16, 1986.

After deducting selling expenses and other offering costs, the Partnership
had approximately $22,500,000 with which to make investments  in income-
producing commercial and residential real property, to pay legal fees and
other costs (including acquisition fees) related to such investments and to
satisfy working capital requirements.  A portion of the proceeds was
utilized to acquire the properties owned by the Partnership at June 30,
1996.

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture had
cash of $125,153 and short-term investments in asset management accounts of
$353,868, which will be utilized for distributions to partners and for
working capital requirements.

At June 30, 1996 the Partnership has total current assets of $518,815 and
current liabilities of $282,895 and a current ratio of 1.83.  Including a
special distribution of the net proceeds from the sale of the Barton Creek
Landing Apartments equal to $140 per Limited Partnership Interest, cash
distributions were $206 per Limited Partnership Interest in 1995.  Cash
distributions from operations for 1996 are being made at the quarterly rate
of $15 per Limited Partnership Interest.

On April 12, 1995, the Joint Venture sold Barton Creek Landing Apartments
for $14,871,600 in an all cash transaction.  As described in Notes 3 and 4
of Notes to Financial Statements, the Partnership received approximately
$9,060,000 in cash of which $5,000,000 was used to retire the Partnership's
bank debt.  Of the remaining proceeds, $140 per Limited Partnership
Interest was distributed to the partners via a special distribution.  The
remaining cash of approximately $520,000 was used to pay expenses of the
sale or is being used for working capital needs.

In April 1995, the Partnership repaid in full its existing bank debt from
the proceeds of the sale of the Barton Creek Landing Apartments.

As described in Note 2(d) of Notes to Financial Statements the Partnership
sold Walker's Mark Apartments in Dallas, Texas for $6,585,000 on August 19,
1993.  The Partnership received $911,617 in cash (net of closing costs) at
closing and a note receivable for $5,485,000.  The note provided for
monthly payments of interest only in the amount of $34,281 for 50 months,
at which time the note balance is due.  The Partnership used the cash from
the sale, together with working capital reserves, to pay its note payable
down to $5,000,000.

On July 2, 1996 the note receivable was prepaid.  The Partnership intends
to distribute the proceeds from the collection of this note in September
1996.

The Corporate General Partner will continue to explore selling each of the
properties at a time when, from the standpoint of maximizing value, it
makes the most sense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership owned three investment properties,
consisting of an apartment complex, a distribution center and a
warehouse/research facility.

The decrease in rental income for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to 1995 of approximately $860,400 (59.4%) is primarily due to 1)
less rental income generated at Barton Creek Landing Apartments ($640,940)
due to its being sold in April 1995; 2) less rental income at Oak View
Apartments ($26,500) due to lower occupancy; 3) less rental income at
Meadowbrook Court Distribution Center ($10,500) due to lower occupancy; and
4) less rental income recognized at the 1880 Country Farm Drive Facility
($182,500) due to the adoption of SFAS No. 121.

The increase in charges to tenants for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to 1995 of approximately $4,100 (5.4%) is primarily due to an
increase in real estate taxes and maintenance expenses being paid by the
partnership and reimbursed by the tenants.

Interest income decreased approximately $34,700 (13.8%) for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995.  This decrease is primarily
attributable to 1) less interest income earned at the joint venture level
($12,500); and 2) less funds held in interest bearing short-term asset
management accounts ($22,200).

Other income decreased approximately $20,500 (65.2%) for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995.  This decrease is primarily due to
Barton Creek Landing Apartments being sold in April, 1995.

Property operating expenses decreased approximately $229,200 (46.9%) for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995.  This decrease of
approximately $277,700 is primarily attributable to Barton Creek Landing
Apartments being sold.  This decrease was partially offset by increases is
property operating expenses at Oak View Apartments (approximately $23,200)
and at Meadowbrook Court Distribution Center (approximately $27,000).

The decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $121,900 (49.1%) for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995 is primarily
attributable to 1) the sale of Barton Creek Landing Apartments (80,600);
and 2) less depreciation charged at the 1880 Country Farm Drive Facility
($40,000) due to the pending sale of this property and estimated fair value
accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 121. 

The decrease in interest expense of $128,434 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to 1995 is due to the note payable being repaid in
April, 1995.

Management fees paid to an affiliate of the General Partner decreased
approximately $35,300 (55.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to 1995.  This decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of
Barton Creek Landing Apartments. 

Professional services have decreased approximately $11,600 (29.5%) for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995.  This decrease is
primarily due to a decrease in tax and audit fees incurred by the
consolidated joint venture which is no longer in existence. 

Early repayment of the note payable caused amortization of deferred
expenses to decrease by approximately $14,700 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to June 30, 1995. 

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995
decreased by $541,947 to $246,355.
