[ X ] PART I Item 1. Business - ---------------- Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership formed in 1984 under the laws of the State of Illinois. The Registrant raised $83,936,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant's operations consist exclusively of investment in and operation of real property, and all information included in this report relates to this industry segment. The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire thirteen real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional property. The Registrant has since disposed of five of these properties. As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owned the eight properties and the minority joint venture interest described under "Item 2. Properties". The Partnership Agreement provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions. Overall, the investment real estate market saw gradual improvement over the last year. This improvement has taken place in an environment of generally low interest rates and little or no new supply, parameters which may not exist in the next few years. Demand for real estate space, while projected to improve in line with the overall economy, is also vulnerable to external forces. The major challenges facing the real estate industry today include increased international competition, corporate restructurings, new computer and communications technologies, an aging population and potential revisions of the tax code. In addition, the increased flow of capital to real estate through new vehicles such as commercial mortgage-backed securities and REITs could spur new construction at unsupportable levels, as well as impact existing property values. Operationally, existing apartment properties continued to register occupancy percentages in the 90s, with average rents rising at an annual rate of between 3 and 4 percent. Apartments are still considered one of the top real estate asset classes in terms of performance. However, some markets are experiencing new construction of rental units which, if unrestrained, could impact the performance of existing properties. Most of the new construction is aimed at the two segments of the rental market which are growing the fastest: low-income households and upper-income households who prefer to rent rather than own. Of all the major asset classes, apartments typically display the least volatility in terms of property values. The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. As a result, the General Partner is exploring an acceleration of its strategy to sell the Registrant's properties. Activity for the purchase of limited partnership interests ("tender offer") has increased in real estate limited partnerships generally. Many of these tender offers have been made by investors seeking to make a profit from the purchase of the interests. In the event a tender offer is made for interests in the Registrant, the General Partner will issue a response to limited partners expressing the General Partner's opinion regarding the offer. Certain administrative costs will be incurred to respond to a tender offer. The General Partner cannot predict with any certainty what impact a tender offer will have on the operations or management of the Registrant. During 1995, the Registrant completed the refinancing of the Country Oaks Apartments mortgage note payable. See "Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information. The Registrant, by virtue of its ownership of real estate, is subject to federal and state laws and regulations covering various environmental issues. Management of the Registrant utilizes the services of environmental consultants to assess a wide range of environmental issues and to conduct tests for environmental contamination as appropriate. The General Partner is not aware of any potential liability due to environmental issues or conditions that would be material to the Registrant. The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XVII, the General Partner of the Registrant, and its affiliates perform services for the Registrant. The Registrant currently has no employees engaged in its operations. Item 2. Properties - ------------------ As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owns the eight properties described below: Location Description of Property - -------- ----------------------- Fort Worth, Texas Chestnut Ridge Apartments - Phase I (formerly Cottonwood Apartments - Phase I): a 192-unit apartment complex located on approximately 7 acres. Memphis, Tennessee Country Oaks Apartments: a 200-unit apartment complex located on approximately 10 acres. Arlington, Texas Forest Ridge Apartments - Phase II: a 328-unit apartment complex located on approximately 15 acres. St. Louis County, Missouri Hunter's Glen Apartments: a 192-unit apartment complex located on approximately 10 acres. Hillsborough County, Florida Marbrisa Apartments: a 224-unit apartment complex located on approximately 37 acres. Gwinnett County, Georgia Park Crossing Apartments: a 280-unit apartment complex located on approximately 21 acres. Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky Steeplechase Apartments: a 296-unit apartment complex located on approximately 16 acres. East Baton Rouge Parish, Willow Bend Lake Apartments: a 360-unit Louisiana apartment complex located on approximately 22 acres. Each of the above properties is held subject to various forms of financing. The Registrant also holds a 38.38% minority joint venture interest in Rosehill Pointe Apartments located in Lenexa, Kansas. See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In the opinion of the General Partner, the Registrant has provided for adequate insurance coverage for its real estate investment properties. See Notes to Financial Statements for other information regarding real property investments. Item 3. Legal Proceedings - ------------------------- On February 29, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Raymond Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al., Case No. 96/103727 (Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York). The Registrant, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company, three limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Registrant and the affiliated partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships"), Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership interests in the Defendant Partnerships. The complaint seeks judgment for compensatory damages equal to the amount invested in the Defendant Partnerships by the proposed class plus interest accrued thereon; general damages for injuries arising from the defendants' actions; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as a result of their actions relating to the Defendant Partnerships; exemplary damages; attorneys' fees and other costs. The defendants intend to vigorously contest this action. No class has been certified as of this date. Management of each of the defendants believes they have meritorious defenses to contest the claims. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in this action would have a material adverse impact on the Registrant. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders - ----------------------------------------------------------- No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners of the Registrant during 1995. PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matters - ------- There has not been an established public market for Limited Partnership Interests and it is not anticipated that one will develop; therefore, the market value of the Limited Partnership Interests cannot reasonably be determined. The Registrant has not made distributions to date to investors. For additional information, see Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources. As of December 31, 1995, the number of record holders of Limited Partnership Interests of the Registrant was 7,384. Item 6. Selected Financial Data - ------------------------------- Year ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ Total income $13,107,902 $12,877,418 $13,143,237 $14,216,484 $13,083,391 Loss before gain on sale of property (1,479,430) (2,019,363) (2,299,675) (2,647,166) (3,666,743) Net (loss) income (1,479,430) (2,019,363) 1,348,884 (2,647,166) (3,666,743) Net (loss) income per Limited Partnership Interest (17.45) (23.82) 15.91 (31.22) (43.25) Total assets 51,038,768 52,186,795 54,690,993 65,783,386 70,528,914 Mortgage notes payable 53,469,385 53,346,903 57,225,506 65,457,125 66,975,920 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- Operations - ---------- Summary of Operations - --------------------- Improved property operations at several of the properties owned by Balcor Realty Investors 85 - Series II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was the primary reason the net loss decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994. During 1993, the Partnership recognized a gain in connection with the sale of Playa Palms Apartments. This caused the Partnership to recognize net income during 1993 as compared to a net loss during 1994. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1995 Compared to 1994 - --------------------- The Partnership was able to achieve higher rental rates at most of the Partnership's properties in 1995. As a result, rental and service income increased at these properties during 1995 as compared to 1994. In connection with the 1994 refinancings of certain of the properties' mortgage loans, the Partnership retired $2,274,269, including deferred interest, and replaced $4,215,546 of affiliate mortgage notes payable related to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes with proceeds from both third party mortgage loans and short-term loans from the General Partner. As a result, interest expense on mortgage notes payable decreased and interest expense on short-term loans from affiliates increased during 1995 as compared to 1994. The Partnership paid a prepayment penalty in connection with the Country Oaks Apartments refinancing in June 1995 which partially offset the decrease in interest expense on mortgage notes payable. Due to the refinancing of the mortgage loans collateralized by Chestnut Ridge - Phase I in 1994, deferred expenses related to the previous loan were fully amortized. As a result, amortization of deferred expenses decreased during 1995 as compared to 1994. Professional fees incurred in 1994 related to refinancings and legal fees relating to the Park Crossing Apartments settlement incurred in 1994 resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses during 1995 as compared to 1994. Rental income increased at the Rosehill Pointe Apartments due to higher rental rates, resulting in participation in income of joint venture with an affiliate during 1995 as compared to participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate in 1994. 1994 Compared to 1993 - --------------------- The July 1993 sale of Playa Palms Apartments caused decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation expense, amortization expense, property operating expense, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1994 as compared to 1993. These decreases were offset by, or were in addition to, other activity as described below. The Partnership was able to achieve higher rental rates at most of the Partnership's eight remaining properties. As a result, rental and service income, as well as the related property management fees, increased at these properties during 1994, which partially offset the decreases due to the sale of Playa Palms Apartments. During the latter half of 1993, restricted investments of $1,995,000 were released and the proceeds were used to repay the respective loans from the General Partner relating to these cash collateral pledges. As a result of these funds no longer being available for short-term investments, interest income on short-term investments decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993. During 1993, the Partnership reached a settlement with one of the defendants in the litigation related to the Park Crossing Apartments and recognized settlement income of $113,870 in connection with this transaction. The Partnership reached a settlement with the remaining defendants during 1994 and received $300,000 in settlement of all claims due to the Partnership. In connection with the 1994 refinancings of the properties' mortgage loans, the Partnership retired and replaced $4,215,546 of affiliated mortgage notes payable related to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II apartment complexes with General Partner loans. As a result, interest expense on mortgage notes payable decreased and interest expense on short-term loans from affiliates increased during 1994 as compared to 1993. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense on mortgage notes payable were lower interest rates due to the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I refinancing in 1994 and the Hunter's Glen, Marbrisa, Park Crossing and Steeplechase refinancings in 1993. Due to the 1994 refinancings of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Forest Ridge - Phase II mortgage loans, deferred expenses related to the previous loans were fully amortized. As a result, amortization of deferred expenses increased during 1994 as compared to 1993. Increased insurance premiums at all of the Partnership's properties during 1994, as well as significantly higher maintenance and repairs expenses at the Marbrisa Apartments as required by the 1993 mortgage refinancing, offset the decrease in property operating expense due to the sale of Playa Palms Apartments and exterior painting and parking lot repairs during 1993 at the Hunter's Glen Apartments. Real estate tax rates increased during 1994 at Park Crossing and Willow Bend Lake apartment complexes and the assessed value of Park Crossing Apartments also increased during 1994. This resulted in an increase in real estate tax expense at these properties, during 1994 as compared to 1993, which partially offset the decrease in real estate tax expense due to the Playa Palms sale. Higher legal fees incurred due to the Park Crossing Apartments settlement along with higher accounting, data processing and portfolio management expenses during 1994 resulted in an increase in administrative expenses during 1994 as compared to 1993. The Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest in the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, which realized a decrease in interest expense during 1994 due to a reduction of the interest rate on the property's first mortgage loan during the third quarter of 1993. This decrease was partially offset by increased expenditures for insurance, utilities, payroll and advertising during 1994 as compared to 1993. As a result of the combined effect of these events, participation in loss of joint venture with an affiliate decreased during 1994 as compared to 1993. The Partnership recognized a gain on sale of property of $3,648,559 during 1993 in connection with the sale of Playa Palms Apartments. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The cash position of the Partnership increased as of December 31, 1995 when compared to December 31, 1994. The Partnership's operating activities consisted primarily of cash flow generated from property operations, which was partially offset by the payment of administrative expenses, short-term interest expense and deferred interest expense. The Partnership's investing activities consisted of the release of the Country Oaks Apartments restricted investment and distributions from the joint venture with an affiliate. The Partnership's financing activities included the refinancing of the Country Oaks Apartments mortgage loan. The proceeds from the new first mortgage loan were used to repay the previous first mortgage loan and to fund required repair escrows and related financing costs. Additional financing activities included payment of principal on mortgage notes payable and a net repayment of a portion of the loans from the General Partner. The Partnership owes approximately $11,901,000 to the General Partner at December 31, 1995 in connection with the funding of operating deficits and other working capital requirements. These loans are expected to be repaid from available cash flow from future property operations, or from proceeds received from the disposition of the Partnership's real estate investments, prior to any distributions to Limited Partners. The Partnership made a net repayment of $395,000 to the General Partner during 1995. Although affiliates of the General Partner have, in certain circumstances, provided mortgage loans for certain properties of the Partnership, there can be no assurance that loans of this type will be available from either affiliates or the General Partner in the future. The General Partner may continue to provide additional short-term loans to the Partnership to fund working capital needs or property operating deficits, although there is no assurance that such loans will be available. Should additional borrowings be needed and not be available through the General Partner, its affiliates or third parties, the Partnership may be required to dispose of some of its properties in order to satisfy Partnership obligations. The Partnership classifies the cash flow performance of its properties as either positive, a marginal deficit or a significant deficit, each after consideration of debt service payments unless otherwise indicated. A deficit is considered to be significant if it exceeds $250,000 annually or 20% of the property's rental and service income. The Partnership defines cash flow generated from its properties as an amount equal to the property's revenue receipts less property related expenditures, which include debt service payments. During 1995 and 1994, six of the Partnership's eight remaining properties generated positive cash flow. The Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments generated a marginal cash flow deficit in both 1995 and 1994. The Marbrisa Apartments generated positive cash flow during 1995 as compared to a marginal deficit during 1994 due to lower repair and maintenance costs. The Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments generated a marginal deficit during 1995 as compared to positive cash flow during 1994 due to increased expenditures for structural repairs. In addition, the property in which the Partnership holds a minority joint venture interest generated positive cash flow in both 1995 and 1994. As of December 31, 1995, the occupancy rates ranged from 95% to 99%. The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties has become increasingly favorable to sellers of these properties. As a result, the General Partner is exploring an acceleration of its strategy to sell the Partnership's properties. The Partnership's properties are owned through the use of third-party and affiliate mortgage loans and therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial obligations required by such loans. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for information concerning outstanding balances, maturity dates, interest rates, and other terms related to each of these mortgage loans. As a result of the General Partner's efforts to obtain loan refinancings, the Partnership has no third party financing which matures prior to 1998. In June 1995, the Country Oaks Apartments first mortgage loan was refinanced. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. In April 1995, a restricted deposit in the amount of $480,000 pledged as additional collateral related to the mortgage loan on the Country Oaks Apartments was released. See Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Partnership has not commenced distributions. Future distributions to investors will depend on improved cash flow from the Partnership's remaining properties, the repayment of loans to the General Partner and proceeds from future property sales, as to which there can be no assurances. In light of results to date and current market conditions, the General Partner does not anticipate that investors will recover a substantial portion of their original investment. In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which establishes accounting standards for impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of. This statement has been adopted by the Partnership as of January 1, 1995, and did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership. Inflation has several types of potentially conflicting impacts on real estate investments. Short-term inflation can increase real estate operating costs which may or may not be recovered through increased rents and/or sales prices depending on general or local economic conditions. In the long-term, inflation can be expected to increase operating costs and replacement costs and may lead to increased rental revenues and real estate values. Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Partners of Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II A Real Estate Limited Partnership: We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedule of Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II A Real Estate Limited Partnership (An Illinois Limited Partnership) as listed in the index of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. 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.
