                  Notes to Financial Statements

                           (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 March 31, 1996 and December
31, 1995 and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months 
ended March 31, 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 three 
months ended March 31, 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:

</TABLE>
     The net income and cash distributions per limited partnership interest, 
as presented for the three month period ended March 31, 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.

                             (continued)
                        March 31, 1996 and 1995
                             
                              (Unaudited)


     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.

     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.  
Management believes that no assets are impaired; therefore, no such losses 
have been required to be recognized or provided in the accompanying financial 
statements.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" was issued in March 1995 
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The
Statement does not have a material effect on the financial position or 
results of operations of the Company.

(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.  
All three properties owned at March 31, 1996 were completed and in operation.

          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

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.

occupy approximately 41.67% of the distribution center and pay a
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 current lease will expire on May 31, 1996 at which 
time they will vacate 50% of the distribution center.  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 remaining 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.

          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.  The Partnership is receiving 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 March 31, 1996 and

(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.

(5)  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Fees, commissions and other expenses required to be paid by the

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 
March 31, 1996.

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture had 
cash of $103,739 and short-term investments in asset management accounts of 
$348,060, which will be utilized for distributions to partners and for working 
capital requirements.

At March 31, 1996 the Partnership has total current assets of $457,984 and 
current liabilities of $208,756 and a current ratio of 2.19.  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 for 1996 are being made at the annual rate of $60 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 provides 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.

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.









                                 - 9 -

Results of Operations

At March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to 1995 of approximately $586,000 (59.9%) is primarily due to 1) 
less rental income generated at Barton Creek Landing Apartments ($574,500) 
due to its being sold in April 1995; and 2) less rental income at Oak View 
Apartments ($12,100) due to lower occupancy.  The increase in
charges to tenant for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 1995 
of approximately $15,500 (45.3%) is primarily due to an increase in real 
estate taxes and maintenance expenses which are passed through to the 
tenants.  Interest income decreased approximately $2,400 (2.2%) for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 1995.  This decrease is primarily 
attributable to less interest income earned at the joint venture which was 
terminated as of September 30, 1995.  Other income decreased approximately 
$17,700 (78.7%) for the months ended March 31, 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 $174,400 (56.3%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to 1995.  This decrease of approximately $208,300 is primarily 
attributable to Barton Creek Landing Apartments being sold.  This decrease
was partially offset by increases in property operating expenses at Oak View 
Apartments (approximately $20,900) and at Meadowbrook Court Distribution 
Center (approximately $13,800).  The decrease in depreciation expense of 
approximately $73,000 (46.8%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
compared to 1995 is primarily attributable to the sale of Barton
Creek Landing Apartments.  The decrease in interest expense of $113,201 for 
the three months ended March 31, 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 $28,900 (64.1%) for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 1995.  This decrease is primarily 
attributable to the sale of Barton Creek Landing Apartments.  Professional 
services have decreased approximately $5,100 (25.9%) for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 1995.  This decrease in primarily
due to a decrease in tax and audit fees generated at the joint venture which 
is no longer in existence.  Early repayment of the note payable caused 
amortization of deferred expenses to decrease by approximately $13,000 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995.  General 
and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $5,300 (22%) for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995.  This 
decrease is primarily due to Barton Creek Landing Apartments being sold. 
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 
1995 decreased by $195,795 to $286,257 (38.3%) and net income decreased by 
$65,499 to $286,257 (18.6%) over the same period.
