BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 85-SERIES II A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Accounting Policies: (a) For financial statement purposes, in previous years partners were allocated income and loss in accordance with the provisions in the Partnership Agreement. In order for the capital accounts of the General Partner and Limited Partners to appropriately reflect their remaining economic interests as provided for in the Partnership Agreement, the income (loss) allocations between the partners have been adjusted for financial statement purposes during 1997. (b) Several reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 1996 financial statements. These reclassifications have not changed the 1996 results. (c) In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying statements for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1997, and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. 2. Partnership Termination: The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in real estate. During 1996, the Partnership sold seven properties and its minority joint venture interest in one additional property. The available proceeds from the 1996 property sales were distributed to Limited Partners in January and April 1997. During March 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining property, the Steeplechase Apartments. The available proceeds were distributed to Limited Partners in July 1997. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. 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 and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited to the lawsuits discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of any such contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold. In the event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time. 3. Interest Expense: During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership incurred and paid interest expense on non-affiliated mortgage notes payable of $167,177 and $3,156,874, respectively. 4.

The loan of $1,816,035 along with accrued interest of $48,884 was forgiven in connection with the sale of the property in September 1996. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership incurred interest expense on the mortgage note payable-affiliate of $129,105 and paid interest expense of $141,197. During 1996, the Partnership repaid the General Partner loan with proceeds received from the sales of properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $474,632 and paid interest expense of $1,178,632 on this loan. Interest expense on the General Partner loan was computed at the American Express Company cost of funds rate plus a spread to cover administrative costs. As of September 30, 1996, this rate was 5.931%. 5. Property Sale: In March 1997, the Partnership sold the Steeplechase Apartments in an all cash sale for $10,400,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $7,238,418 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, and paid $184,415 in selling costs and $289,537 in prepayment penalties. The basis of the property was $5,223,505, which is net of accumulated depreciation of $3,489,894. For financial statements purposes, the Partnership recognized a gain of $4,992,080 from the sale of this property. 6. Extraordinary Item: In connection with the sale of the Steeplechase Apartments in March 1997, the Partnership paid $289,537 in prepayment penalties and wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses related to the property of $132,371. These amounts were recognized as an extraordinary item and classified as debt extinguishment expense. 7. Contingencies: The Partnership is currently involved in two lawsuits whereby the Partnership and certain affiliates have been named as defendants alleging substantially similar claims involving certain federal securities law violations with regard to the adequacy and accuracy of disclosures of information concerning, as well as marketing efforts related to the offering of the Limited Partnership Interests of the Partnership. The defendants continue to vigorously contest these actions. A plaintiff class has not been certified in either action and, no determinations of the merits have been made. It is not determinable at this time whether or not an unfavorable decision in either action would have a material adverse impact on the financial position, operations and liquidity of the Partnership. The Partnership believes that it has meritorious defenses to contest the claims. 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 sold its remaining property, the Steeplechase Apartments, in March 1997. 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 1996 for a more complete understanding of the Partnership's financial position. Operations - ---------- Summary of Operations - --------------------- During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership recognized gains from the sales of the Forest Ridge - Phase II, Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes and recognized its share of the gain from the sale of the Rosehill Pointe apartment complex, which was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. During March 1997, the Partnership recognized a gain in connection with the sale of the Steeplechase apartment complex. These events resulted in a decrease in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 and a net loss during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to net income during the same period in 1996. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below. 1997 Compared to 1996 - --------------------- Unless otherwise noted, discussions of fluctuations between 1997 and 1996 refer to both the nine months and quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership sold eight properties. As a result, rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization of deferred expenses, property operating expenses, real estate taxes and property management fees decreased significantly during 1997 as compared to 1996. Due to higher average cash balances resulting from the investment of net proceeds received in connection with the sales of the Partnership's properties during the latter part of 1996 and in early 1997 prior to distribution to Limited Partners, interest income on short-term investments increased during 1997 as compared to 1996. The Partnership recognized other income during 1997 in connection with a refund of a prior year insurance premium relating to the Partnership's properties. Rosehill Pointe Apartments, in which the Partnership held a minority joint venture interest, was sold during June 1996. As a result, income from participation in joint venture with an affiliate ceased during 1996. The Partnership's share of the gain on the sale is included in participation in joint venture with an affiliate for 1996. In connection with the sale, the Partnership also recognized its share of debt extinguishment expense of $20,945, which was classified as an extraordinary item. During 1996, the Partnership repaid its General Partner loans. As a result, interest expense on short-term loans from affiliate ceased during 1996. As a result of the sales of the Partnership's properties, real estate tax expense decreased in 1997. In addition, the estimate of 1996 real estate taxes at the Steeplechase Apartments was higher than the actual expense, resulting in the Partnership recognizing income during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to expense during the same period in 1996. The Partnership incurred higher professional fees in 1996 in connection with the valuation of the Partnership's assets, which was the primary reason for the decrease in administrative expenses during 1997 as compared to 1996. The Partnership also incurred higher legal and portfolio management fees during 1996 which contributed to the decrease. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold the Forest Ridge - Phase II, Country Oaks, Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes and recognized gains totaling $12,618,239. During March 1997, the Partnership sold the Steeplechase apartment complex and recognized a gain of $4,992,080. In connection with the 1996 sale of Chestnut Ridge - Phase I Apartments, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary gain on forgiveness of debt of $1,864,919. In connection with the March 1997 sale of the Steeplechase Apartments, the Partnership paid $289,537 in prepayment penalties and wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses related to the property of $132,371. In connection with the 1996 property sales, the Partnership wrote-off the remaining unamortized deferred expenses in the amount of $441,740. In addition, in connection with the 1996 sales of Chestnut Ridge - Phase I and Hunters Glen apartment complexes, the Partnership paid $272,290 in prepayment penalties. These amounts were recognized as extraordinary items and classified as debt extinguishment expense. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The cash position of the Partnership decreased by approximately $10,030,000 as of September 30, 1997 when compared to December 31, 1996 primarily due to the payments of special distributions to Limited Partners in 1997 with proceeds from the sales of the Partnership's properties during 1997 and the latter part of 1996. Cash of approximately $405,000 was used in operating activities which consisted of the payment of administrative expenses and operating expenses related to sold properties, which were partially offset by cash flow from operations of the Steeplechase Apartments prior to its sale and interest income on short-term investments. Cash provided by investing activities of approximately $10,216,000 consisted of net proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Steeplechase Apartments. Cash used in financing activities of approximately $19,840,000 consisted primarily of the payment of distributions to Limited Partners of approximately $12,590,000 and the repayment of a mortgage note payable of approximately $7,238,000 with proceeds from the Steeplechase Apartments sale. The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Partnership upon the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in real estate. During 1996, the Partnership sold seven properties and its minority joint venture interest in one additional property. The available proceeds from the 1996 property sales were distributed to Limited Partners in January and April 1997. During March 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining property, the Steeplechase Apartments. The available proceeds were distributed to Limited Partners in July 1997. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash to satisfy obligations of the Partnership as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. 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 and costs stemming from litigation involving the Partnership including, but not limited to the lawsuits discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of any such contingency, the reserves will be paid within twelve months of the last property being sold. In the event a contingency continues to exist or arises, reserves may be held by the Partnership for a longer period of time. In March 1997, the Partnership sold the Steeplechase Apartments in an all cash sale for $10,400,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $7,238,418 to the third party mortgage holder in full satisfaction of the first mortgage loan, and paid $184,415 in selling costs and $289,537 in prepayment penalties. Available proceeds were distributed to the Limited Partners in July 1997. See Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information. Pursuant to the sale agreement for the Hunters Glen Apartments, $500,000 of the sale proceeds was retained by the Partnership and was unavailable for distribution until January 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. Pursuant to the sale agreement for the Marbrisa Apartments, $500,000 of the sale proceeds was retained by the Partnership and was unavailable for distribution until February 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. Pursuant to the sale agreement for the Willow Bend Lake Apartments, $250,000 of the sale proceeds was retained by the Partnership and was unavailable for distribution until February 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. Since all of the Partnership's properties have been sold, no additional distributions are expected. To date, Limited Partners have received cash distributions of Net Cash Proceeds of $150 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. Investors will not recover a substantial portion of their original investment.
