The  Partnership is organized  under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Section
10-801(1)  of the  Maryland  Limited  Partnership  Act  provides  that a limited
partnership  is dissolved  and its affairs wound up upon the happening of events
specified in the Partnership  Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii) of the
Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership will dissolve 90 days after the sale or
other disposition of all Local Partnership Interests and substantially all other
tangible assets of the Partnership.

     The  Partnership  disposed  of its  last  remaining  investments  in  Local
Partnerships  in 2005.  The  Partnership  was  dissolved  under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement on March 20, 2006, but the winding up of the Partnership's
business may take several months more. In any event,  the  Partnership  will not
conduct  any active  business  operations  and will only take  actions  that are
required to further its own liquidation.

     The  Partnership's  final liquidation is anticipated to occur no later than
the end of its  December 31, 2006 fiscal year and may occur as early as June 30,
2006. In April 2006,  the  Partnership  distributed  all of the net  liquidation
proceeds to its Limited Partners.  These liquidation  proceeds  represent all of
the proceeds which the Partnership expects to distribute to Limited Partners.

     The carrying value of the remaining assets and liabilities reflected in the
accompanying  March  31,  2006  and  December  31,  2005  financial   statements
approximates fair value.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Certain information
and accounting policies and footnote  disclosures normally included in financial
statements  prepared in conformity  with US GAAP have been  condensed or omitted
pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed  financial  statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB at December 31, 2005.

     The  Partnership  defaulted on its purchase money note relating to Paradise
Foothills when the note matured on January 30, 1996, and was not paid. Effective
March  31,  2003,  the  Managing  General  Partner  successfully  negotiated  an
agreement  to extend the maturity  date of the purchase  money note to March 31,
2008,  and to reduce the interest  rate.  The purchase  money note  consisted of
principal and accrued interest of $230,000 and $1,130,275,  respectively,  as of
December  20,  2005.  On  December  20,  2005,  the  property  owned by Paradise
Foothills was sold. The sale resulted in net gain from extinguishment of debt of
$1,610,275 and in gain on disposition of investment in  partnerships of $773,834
for  financial  statement  purposes and a total gain of  $7,772,582  for federal
income  tax  purposes  in 2005.  The  Partnership  accrued  $140,400,  which was
included in gain on  disposition  of investment  in  partnerships  in 2005,  for
additional  proceeds  related to the sale which were  received in March 2006. In
accordance  with the terms of the Partnership  Agreement,  in December 2005, the
Managing General Partner was paid a disposition fee of $576,000  relating to the
sale. The fee was netted against the related gain from extinguishment of debt.

     On December 19, 2003, the Local Partnership entered into a contract to sell
the property owned by Sheridan West Limited  Partnership  (Semper  Village).  On

including a $14,923 Local  Partnership  reserve  received by the Partnership and

The sale resulted in net gain on  disposition of investment in  partnerships  of
$6,291,867 for financial statement purposes and in total gain of $10,793,171 for
federal  income  tax  purposes  in 2004.  In  accordance  with the  terms of the
Partnership  Agreement,  in July 2004 the  Managing  General  Partner was paid a
disposition fee of $706,250  related to the sale. The fee was netted against the
related gain on  disposition of investment in  partnerships.  During the year of
2005, the  Partnership  received  additional  proceeds of $11,100 related to the
sale,  which is included in gain on disposition of investment in partnerships in
2005. In 2006, the Partnership  received  additional proceeds of $797 related to
the sale which is included in gain on disposition of investment in  partnerships
at March 31, 2006.

     On October 13, 2005,  the property  owned by Willow Creek II was sold.  The
sale  resulted in net gain on  disposition  of  investment  in  partnerships  of
$2,483,770 for financial  statement  purposes and a total gain of $4,000,139 for
federal income tax purposes in 2005. The Partnership accrued $269,439, which was
included in gain on sale of investment in  partnerships  in 2005, for additional
proceeds  related to the sale which were  received in March 2006.  In accordance
with the terms of the  Partnership  Agreement,  in October  2005,  the  Managing
General Partner was paid a disposition fee of $275,000  related to the sale. The
fee was  netted  against  the  related  gain on  disposition  of  investment  in
partnerships.

     Combined  statements of operations for the two Local  Partnerships in which
the Partnership was invested as of March 31, 2005,  follow (the  Partnership had
no investments in Local Partnerships by March 31, 2006). The combined statements

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,  the Partnership
is obligated to reimburse the Managing  General  Partner for its direct expenses
in connection with managing the  Partnership.  The Partnership  paid $38,203 and
$24,804 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively,
to the Managing General Partner as direct  reimbursement of expenses incurred on
behalf of the Partnership.  Such reimbursed expenses are included in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,  the Partnership
is obligated to pay the Managing General Partner an annual incentive  management
fee  (Management  Fee) after all other expenses of the Partnership are paid. The
Partnership  paid the Managing  General  Partner a Management Fee of $16,320 and
$24,480 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     In  accordance  with the  terms of a  Definitive  Proxy  Statement  for the
Liquidation  and Dissolution of the Partnership  (Definitive  Proxy  Statement),
which has been  approved by a majority of the  outstanding  Beneficial  Assignee
Certificates  representing  units of  Limited  Partner  Interest,  the  Managing
General  Partner may receive an incentive  disposition fee of up to five percent
of the sales prices of the  properties if it markets and sells the properties in
which the Partnership  holds interests instead of having a third party do so. In
October  2005,  the  Managing  General  Partner  was paid a  disposition  fee of
$275,000  related to the sale of Willow Creek on October 13,  2005.  The fee was
netted against the related gain on disposition of investment in partnerships. In
December  2005,  the  Managing  General  Partner was paid a  disposition  fee of
$576,000 related to the sale of Paradise Foothills on December 20, 2005. The fee

($249.46  per BAC  unit) to BAC  holders  of  record  as of April 7,  2006.  The
distribution  consists of  proceeds  received  from the sales of the  properties
related  to  Willow  Creek  and  Paradise   Foothills  in  2005  and   remaining
undistributed cash.

          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


     Capital  Realty  Investors-85   Limited   Partnership's  (the  Partnership)
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations  section  is  based  on  the  financial   statements,   and  contains
information that may be considered forward looking

     The  Partnership is currently in the process of dissolving its  operations.
The  Partnership is organized  under the laws of the State of Maryland.  Section
10-801(1)  of the  Maryland  Limited  Partnership  Act  provides  that a limited
partnership  is dissolved  and its affairs wound up upon the happening of events
specified in the Partnership  Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(ii) of the
Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership will dissolve 90 days after the sale or
other disposition of all Local Partnership Interests and substantially all other
tangible assets of the Partnership.

     The  Partnership  disposed  of its  last  remaining  investments  in  Local
Partnerships  in 2005.  The  Partnership  was  dissolved  under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement on March 20, 2006, but the winding up of the Partnership's
business may take several months more. In any event,  the  Partnership  will not
conduct  any active  business  operations  and will only take  actions  that are
required to further its own liquidation.

     The  Partnership's  final liquidation is anticipated to occur no later than
the end of its  December 31, 2006 fiscal year and may occur as early as June 30,
2006. In April 2006,  the  Partnership  distributed  all of the net  liquidation
proceeds to its Limited Partners.  These liquidation  proceeds  represent all of
the proceeds which the Partnership expects to distribute to Limited Partners.

     The carrying value of the remaining assets and liabilities reflected in the
accompanying  March  31,  2006  and  December  31,  2005  financial   statements
approximates fair value.

                          Critical Accounting Policies
                          ----------------------------

     The  Partnership has disclosed its selection and application of significant
accounting  policies in Note 1 of the notes to financial  statements included in
the  Partnership's  annual  report on Form  10-KSB at  December  31,  2005.  The
Partnership  accounted for its investments in partnerships (Local  Partnerships)
using the equity method  because the  Partnership  was a limited  partner in the
Local Partnerships.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

     The Partnership originally made investments in eight Local Partnerships, of
which none remain at March 31, 2006.

     The  Partnership's  obligation  with respect to its  investment in Paradise
Associates  Limited  Partnership  (Paradise   Foothills),   in  the  form  of  a
nonrecourse  purchase  money note,  which had a principal  and accrued  interest
balance of $230,000 and $1,130,275,  respectively,  as of December 20, 2005, was
paid in full directly by the title company to the noteholder out of the proceeds
due to the Partnership upon the sale of the property owned by Paradise Foothills
in December 2005.  The amount due to the local general  partner of $174,600 plus
accrued  interest of $75,400 was written off upon the sale of the property owned
by Paradise Foothills.

     The Managing  General  Partner has received  consent from a majority of BAC
Holders for the liquidation of the Partnership.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued


     On April 12, 2006, the Partnership made a final  distribution of $5,278,075
($249.46  per BAC  unit) to BAC  holders  of  record  as of April 7,  2006.  The
distribution  consists of  proceeds  received  from the sales of the  properties
related  to  Willow  Creek  and  Paradise   Foothills  in  2005  and   remaining
undistributed cash.

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net loss decreased for the three month period ended March
31, 2006, compared to the corresponding  period in 2005, primarily due to higher
interest  revenue  and  decreases  in  interest  expense,  management  fees  and
professional  fees,  partially  offset  by  decreases  in share of  income  from
partnerships  and gain on  disposition  of  investment  in  partnerships  and an
increase in general and administrative  expenses.  Interest revenue increased in
2006 due to higher rates.  Professional  fees  decreased  primarily due to lower
audit costs. Share of income from partnerships and interest expense decreased as
no investments remain in 2006. General and administrative  fees increased due to
liquidation  costs.  The gains on  disposition  of  investment  in  partnerships
consists of rent collection relating to Semper Village sold in 2004.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership,  as a limited partner in
the Local  Partnerships,  does not record losses from the Local  Partnerships in
excess of its  investment  to the  extent  that the  Partnership  has no further
obligation to advance funds or provide financing to the Local Partnerships. As a
result, the Partnership's  share of income from partnerships for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, did not include losses of $0 and $28,924,
respectively.

     No other  significant  changes in the  Partnership's  operations have taken
place during the three month period ended March 31, 2006.


Item 3. Controls and Procedures
        -----------------------

     In April  2006,  representatives  of the  Managing  General  Partner of the
Partnership  carried out an  evaluation of the  effectiveness  of the design and
operation of the Partnership's  disclosure controls and procedures,  pursuant to
Exchange Act Rules  13a-15 and 15d-15.  The  Managing  General  Partner does not
expect that the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures will prevent
all error and all fraud.  A control  system,  no matter how well  conceived  and
operated,  can provide only  reasonable  assurance  that the  objectives  of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource  constraints,  and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent  limitations in all
control systems,  no evaluation of controls can provide absolute  assurance that
all control issues have been detected.  These inherent  limitations  include the
realities that judgments in  decision-making  can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur  because  of simple  error or  mistake.  The  design of any  system of
controls also is based in part upon certain  assumptions about the likelihood of
future  events,  and there can be no  assurance  that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all  potential  future  conditions.  Over time,
controls may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions,  or the degree
of compliance  with the policies or procedures may  deteriorate.  Because of the
inherent  limitations in a cost-effective  control system,  misstatements due to
error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not be  detected.  Based  on the  April  2006
evaluation,  and subject to the foregoing,  the Principal  Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls
and  procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report
to alert them in a timely  manner to any  material  information  relating to the
Partnership that must be included in the Partnership's periodic SEC filings, and

particularly  during  the  period in which  this  report is being  prepared.  In
addition,  there have been no significant changes in the Partnership's  internal
control over financial  reporting that occurred  during the  Partnership's  most
recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.


Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information

     There has not been any information  required to be disclosed in a report on
Form 8-K during the quarter ended March 31, 2006,  but not reported,  whether or
not otherwise required by this Form10-QSB at March 31, 2006.

     There is no  established  market for the  purchase  and sale of  Beneficial
Assignee  Certificates  (BACs),   although  various  informal  secondary  market
services exist. Due to the limited markets, however,  investors may be unable to
sell or otherwise dispose of their BACs.

                               Cash Distributions
                               ------------------

distribution  consists of  proceeds  received  from the sales of the  properties
related  to  Willow  Creek  and  Paradise   Foothills  in  2005  and   remaining
