1. Basis of Condensed Financial Statement Preparation
   --------------------------------------------------
   In the opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited
   condensed    financial   statements   contain   all   adjustments
   (consisting principally of normal, recurring accruals)  necessary
   to present fairly the financial position of Leastec Income  Fund
   1985-1 (the Partnership) as of September 30, 1995, September  30,
   1994 and December 31, 1994.

   As  provided  for  in  the  Partnership  agreement  and  offering
   document,  the  Partnership engaged in leasing  activities  which
   intended  to be completed in approximately eleven years from  its
   inception  at  which time all remaining partnership  assets  will
   have  been  liquidated  and  cash  proceeds  distributed  to  the
   registrant's  partners. The Partnership has  presented  its  1995
   financial statements to reflect its leasing activities on a basis
   consistent with prior periods.

2. Wind Down Phase
   ---------------
   The  Registrant  has ceased acquisition of new capital  equipment
   and  is in the process of liquidating its lease portfolio. It  is
   intended that the Registrant will be fully liquidated at the  end
   of its tenth full year of operation, December 1995.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operation
- --------------------
   The  Registrant has been winding down operations since  1993  by
discontinuing  new leasing activities and returning cash  available
from  operations  to  the  Registrant's  Partners.   Although   the
Registrant  has  until December 1997 to liquidate  operations,  the
Registrant  intends to be fully liquidated by  December  1995.   In
order to complete the liquidation of all assets by the end of 1995,
it  is  the General Partner's policy to allow the early termination
of  leases  when  requested as well as to seek the sale  of  leased
assets  in  which the lease may extend beyond December  1995.   The
General  Partner  does not anticipate that the cash  proceeds  from
liquidation  will  return  100% of the investors  original  capital
contribution.

   All  the Registrant's operating leases have terminated  and  the
underlying equipment has been sold.  The remaining balance  of  the
lease   portfolio  is  invested  in  Direct  Finance  leases  which
terminate  with  the  lessee's contractually required  purchase  of
equipment.  The income and expenses of the Registrant are  steadily
declining as the lease portfolio size declines.  The cash  balances
and  the  related interest income fluctuates according to the  cash
flow  from rents  and equipment and finance lease sales during each
quarter.   Cash is distributed to the Partners according  to  their
respective  tax  basis  capital accounts.   The  final  liquidating
distribution will be paid by the Registrant in April of 1996  after
the final audit is completed.

  The  Registrant reported a net income of $237,339 or $  7.95  per
Limited  Partnership Unit for the nine months ended  September  30,
1995  as  compared  to net income of $73,979 or $2.48  per  Limited
Partnership Unit for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The
increase  in  net  income  reflects  a  decrease  in  general   and
administrative  expense from $150,797 for  the  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1994 to $95,406 for the same period in 1995  and  an
increase  in gain on sale of equipment from $40,792 for first  nine
months  of 1994, compared to $257,823 for the same period in  1995.
The  majority of the increase in the gain on sale of equipment  was
the  sale  of  equipment  from a terminated operating  lease  which
accounted for a gain on sale of $222,944.  Total revenues  for  the
nine  months  ended  September 30, 1995 were $467,754  compared  to
$465,681  for  the same period in the prior year.  Revenue  derived
from  the Fund's equipment management activities comprised  99%  of
the  total  income  for  the period, with the  remaining  1%  being
interest income.

  Direct financing lease income decreased  from September 30,  1994
to  September 30, 1995 ($61,833 to $26,631 respectively).  The  net
investment  in direct financing leases decreased from  $493,924  at
September 30, 1994 to $233,460 at September 30, 1995.

  Interest  income  decreased because the Registrant  held  smaller
cash  balances during the first nine months of 1995 as compared  to
the same period in the prior year. All available cash is being paid
out  in  distributions to the Fund's partners on a quarterly basis.
As  stated  above  the Registrant's final liquidating  distribution
will  be  paid  in  April  of 1996 after the  final  audit  of  the
Registrant is completed.





   Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were
$230,415  compared  to $391,702 for the same period  in  the  prior
year.  Depreciation,  management fees, interest,  and  general  and
administrative costs comprised 95% of the total expenses.  Interest
expense  decreased  from September 30, 1994 to September  30,  1995
($49,154  to  $5,835  respectively). The note payable  balance  was
$192,271  in  the  first nine months of 1994  compared  to  a  note
payable balance of $-0- for the same period in 1995.

      Equipment on operating leases, net of depreciation  decreased
from  $78,984 at December 31,1994 to $ 0 at September 30, 1995.   A
prior  period  adjustment to depreciation was  made  in  the  first
quarter  1994  causing depreciation to decrease less than  expected
from  $128,886  for  the nine months ended September  30,  1994  to
$78,186 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

     The  gain  on  sale  of equipment for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995,  was  $257,823 a  substantial  increase  from
$40,792  for the same period in 1994.  This was primarily from  the
sale of a large terminated lease and certain leased assets.

      General and administrative costs decreased from $150,797  for
the  first  nine months of 1994 to $95,406 for the same  period  in
1995.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
  Cash  provided by operating activities for the nine months  ended
September  30, 1995, was $14,676 compared to $51,245 for  the  same
period in the prior year.
  
  Cash provided by investing activities increased from $396,511  in
the  third  quarter of 1994 to $425,213 for the  third  quarter  of
1995, reflecting the increase in sales of equipment and leases.
  
  As  rental payments on finance leases are received, the  cash  is
broken up into income and return of principal.  As a finance  lease
ages  the  income portion of the rental receipts decrease  and  the
return of principal portion increases.

  Sales  proceeds of equipment for the nine months ended  September
30, 1994, totaled approximately $56,100 resulting in a $40,792 gain
after depreciation expense was taken compared to $263,222 resulting
in a gain of $257,823 for the same period this year.

      Cash  provided  by  investing activities was  used  to  repay
$115,580  of debt during the nine months ended September 30,  1995,
as compared to $133,647 for the same period in the prior year.

  As  of September 30,1995, the Fund's partners were allocated cash
distributions of $125,000 payable on October 13, 1995. The size  of
investor distributions depend on the timing of equipment sales  and
collections of rents.  As a result, this amount can be expected  to
decrease  during 1995 and to be variable in amount from quarter  to
quarter  depending  on  the timing of rental  receipts  and  direct
finance lease equipment sales.




  
     The cash balance decreased from $188,987 at December 31, 1993,
to  $173,105  at  September 30, 1994 and increased to  $293,456  at
December 31, 1994, and decreased to $292,765 at September 30, 1995.
  
  The  cash  position as of September 30, 1995, was  $292,765.  The
General  Partner  anticipates that funds from  operations  will  be
adequate  to cover all operating expenses and future needs  of  the
Partnership during 1995.
