BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 85-SERIES II A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership) MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Balcor Realty Investors 85-Series II (the "Partnership") was formed in 1984 to invest in and operate real property. The Partnership raised $83,936,000 through the sale of Limited Partnership Interests and utilized these proceeds to acquire thirteen real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional real property. Prior to 1996, the Partnership disposed of five of these properties. During 1996, the Partnership sold seven properties and the property in which it held a minority joint venture interest. The Partnership continues to own and operate the Steeplechase Apartments; however, the property is actively being marketed for sale. Inasmuch as the management's discussion and analysis below relates primarily to the time period since the end of the last fiscal year, investors are encouraged to review the financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis contained in the annual report for 1995 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial position. Operations - ---------- Summary of Operations - --------------------- The Partnership sold four properties during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and recognized significant gains. The Partnership also recognized its share of the gain from the June 1996 sale of the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, which was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. In addition, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt in connection with the sale of the Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments. These events resulted in the recognition of net income during the nine months and quarters ended September 30, 1996 as compared to a net loss during the same periods in 1995. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1996 Compared to 1995 - --------------------- Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1996 and 1995 refer to the nine months and quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The Partnership sold Forest Ridge - Phase II, Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes during the first nine months of 1996. As a result, the Partnership recognized gains totaling $12,625,131 during 1996. These sales also resulted in decreases in rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization, property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees during 1996 as compared to 1995. Rosehill Pointe Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, was sold during June 1996. As a result of the Partnership's share of the gain recognized during 1996 in connection with the sale, income from participation in joint venture with an affiliate increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. In connection with the sale, the Partnership also recognized its share of a gain on forgiveness of debt of $41,897 and debt extinguishment expense of $20,945, both of which are classified as extraordinary items. The repayment of a portion of the General Partner loans during 1996 along with lower interest rates resulted in a decrease in interest expense on short-term loans from affiliate during 1996 as compared to 1995. Higher repair and maintenance expenditures in 1996 at the Hunters Glen, Steeplechase, and Willow Bend Lake apartment complexes resulted in increased property operating expense at these properties and partially offset the decrease from the property sales. As a result, property operating expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Higher professional fees caused an increase in administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. In connection with the sale of Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of $1,858,027 in 1996. As a result of the 1996 property sales, the Partnership fully amortized remaining deferred expenses in the amount of $441,740. In addition, in connection with the sales of Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes, the Partnership paid $272,290 in prepayment penalties. These amounts were recognized as an extraordinary item and classified as debt extinguishment expense during 1996. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The cash position of the Partnership increased by approximately $5,204,000 as of September 30, 1996 when compared to December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of the proceeds received in connection with the property sales in 1996. The Partnership used cash of approximately $224,000 in its operating activities which primarily represented the cash flow from the operations of its properties, which was offset by administrative expenses and the payment of accrued interest on short-term loans from an affiliate. Cash provided by investing activities of approximately $28,924,000 consisted of proceeds received in connection with the sales of the Forest Ridge - Phase II, Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes, net of selling costs, and net distributions received from the joint venture with an affiliate, which primarily represent the Partnership's share of the proceeds from the sale of Rosehill Pointe Apartments. Cash used in financing activities of approximately $23,496,000 consisted primarily of the repayment of $7,864,000 of loans payable to an affiliate and the repayment of mortgage note payables of approximately $16,041,000 on Forest Ridge - Phase II, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes. In addition, the Partnership received proceeds in connection with the sales of the Marbrisa and Willowbend Lake apartment complexes in October 1996 and Park Crossing Apartments in November 1996. The Partnership owed approximately $4,037,000 to the General Partner at September 30, 1996 in connection with the funding of operating deficits and other working capital requirements. These loans were repaid in October 1996 from proceeds received from the sales of the Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes. 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 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 the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, each of the Partnership's four properties owned at September 30, 1996 generated positive cash flow. As of September 30, 1996, the occupancy rates at the Partnership's remaining properties ranged from 93% to 98%. The Forest Ridge - Phase II Apartments, which was sold in June 1996, generated positive cash flow prior to its sale in 1996 and generated a marginal deficit during 1995. The Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments, which was sold in September 1996, generated positive cash flow prior to its sale in 1996 and generated a marginal deficit during 1995. The Hunters Glen and Country Oaks apartment complexes, which were sold in September 1996, both generated positive cash flow prior to their sales in 1996 and during 1995. The Rosehill Pointe Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, was sold in June 1996 and generated positive cash flow prior to its sale in 1996 and during 1995. The General Partner believes that the market for multifamily housing properties is favorable to sellers of these properties and has accelerated the Partnership's liquidation strategy. During 1996, the Partnership sold the Forest Ridge - Phase II, Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I, Hunters Glen, Marbrisa, Willow Bend Lake and Park Crossing apartment complexes. During 1996, the General Partner also sold the Rosehill Pointe Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest. The Partnership is actively marketing the remaining property in its portfolio. The timing of the termination of the Partnership and final distribution of cash will depend upon the nature and extent of liabilities and contingencies which exist or may arise. Such contingencies may include legal and other fees stemming from litigation involving the Partnership. In the absence of any such contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold.

From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $3,629,161 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, paid $192,709 in selling costs and $181,458 in prepayment penalties, resulting in the Partnership receiving net proceeds of $1,510,072 from the sale. However, the terms of the 1994 refinancing of this property provided that minimum net proceeds of $1,646,000 were to be received from the sale of this property. As a result, $135,928 was contributed to the Partnership through an increase to the balance of the junior loan outstanding from TBC. Pursuant to the terms of the sale, $250,000 of the proceeds will be retained by the Partnership until December 1996. The remaining proceeds were used to repay a portion of the General Partner loan in October 1996. See Notes 5 and 6 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.

The Partnership's remaining property is owned through the use of a third-party mortgage loan and therefore, the Partnership is subject to the financial obligations required by this loan. This loan matures in 2001. Although investors have received certain tax benefits, the Partnership has not commenced distributions. The Partnership used proceeds from the September 1996 property sales to repay the General Partner loan in full in October 1996. The General Partner intends to distribute the remaining proceeds from the September property sales, together with the proceeds received from the sales of the Marbrisa, Willow Bend Lake and Park Crossing apartment complexes to the Limited Partners in January 1997. 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. 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. BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 85 - SERIES II A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership) PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - -------------------------- Proposed class action - --------------------- On August 30, 1996, a proposed class action complaint was filed, Lenore Klein vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al. (Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Union County, Docket No. Unn-L-5162-96). The Partnership, additional limited partnerships which were sponsored by The Balcor Company (together with the Partnership, the "Affiliated Partnerships"), American Express Company, Lehman Brothers, Inc., additional limited partnerships sponsored by the predecessor of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (together with the Partnership and the Affiliated Partnerships, the "Defendant Partnerships") and Smith Barney Holdings, Inc. are the named defendants in the action. The complaint was amended on October 18, 1996 to add additional plaintiffs. The amended complaint alleges, among other things, common law fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of certain New Jersey statutes relating to the disclosure of information in the offering of limited partnership interests in the Defendant Partnerships. The amended 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; equitable relief, including rescission, on certain counts; treble damages on certain counts; punitive damages; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as a result of their actions relating to the Defendant Partnerships; 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 Partnership. Item 5.
