Item 1. Business - ----------------
Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I 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 $59,791,000 from sales of Limited Partnership Interests. The Registrant has retained cash reserves from the sale of its real estate investments for contingencies which exist or may arise. The Registrant's operations currently consist of interest income earned on short-term investments and the payment of administrative expenses.
The Registrant utilized the net offering proceeds to acquire eight real property investments and a minority joint venture interest in one additional real property and has since disposed of all of these investments. The Partnership Agreement provides that the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the Registrant's properties will not be reinvested in new acquisitions.
The Partnership Agreement provides for the dissolution of the Registrant upon the occurrence of certain events, including the disposition of all interests in real estate. During 1996, the Registrant sold five properties. During 1997, the Registrant sold its remaining property, the Lake Ridge Apartments. The Registrant has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales to satisfy obligations of the Registrant as well as establish a reserve for contingencies. The timing of the termination of the Registrant 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 Registrant including, but not limited to, the lawsuits discussed in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." In the absence of any such contingencies, 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 Registrant for a longer period of time.
During January 1997, the Registrant sold the Lake Ridge Apartments in an all cash sale for $5,400,000. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.
The Registrant no longer has an ownership interest in any real estate investment. The General Partner is not aware of any material potential liability relating to environmental issues or conditions affecting real estate formerly owned by the Registrant.
The officers and employees of Balcor Partners-XIX, 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 3. Legal Proceedings - -------------------------
Masri vs. Lehman Brothers, Inc., et al. - ---------------------------------------
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, 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' alleged actions; recovery from the defendants of all profits received by them as a result of their alleged 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. The Registrant believes it has 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.
Plaintiffs' counsel has indicated an intent to withdraw this complaint. Raymond Masri has joined as an additional plaintiff in the Lenore Klein matter discussed below.

The most recent amended complaint, plaintiffs' Third 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 Affiliated Partnerships, the marketing of interests in the Affiliated Partnerships and the acquisition of real properties for the Affiliated Partnerships.

Operations - ----------
Summary of Operations - ---------------------
Balcor Realty Investors 86 - Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") sold five properties during 1996 and its remaining property during 1997. The Partnership recognized gains in 1997 and 1996 in connection with the sales. The gain related to the 1997 property sale was significantly lower than the total gains related to the 1996 property sales. As a result, the Partnership recognized lower net income during 1997 as compared to 1996. The Partnership recognized net income during 1996 as a result of the gains on sales of properties as compared to a net loss during 1995. No material events occurred during 1995 which significantly impacted the net loss of the Partnership. Further discussion of the Partnership's operations is summarized below.
1997 Compared to 1996 - ---------------------
The Partnership sold the Lake Ridge Apartments during 1997 and sold the Pines of Cloverlane, Lakeside, Brighton Townhomes, Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes during 1996. As a result, rental and service income, interest expense on mortgage notes payable, depreciation, amortization of deferred expenses, property operating expense, real estate taxes and property management fees decreased during 1997 as compared to 1996. The Partnership recognized gains in connection with the 1997 and 1996 sales totaling $828,751 and $37,198,777, respectively.
Interest income on short-term investments decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996 due to higher average cash balances in 1996 resulting from the investment of sales proceeds prior to distribution to Limited Partners.
The Partnership recognized other income during 1997 primarily in connection with refunds of prior years' insurance premiums relating to the Partnership's properties.
The Partnership paid to the lenders participation fees of $467,557 and $1,377,156 in connection with the 1996 sales of the Lakeside and Brighton Townhomes apartment complexes, respectively. The lender participations represent additional interest paid to the lenders calculated as a percentage of the sales price in excess of amounts specified in the loan agreements.
Administrative expenses decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily due to lower legal and portfolio management fees. Additional consulting, printing and postage costs were incurred in 1996 in connection with a response to a tender offer also contributed to the decreases in 1997.
In connection with the sale of the Pines of Cloverlane Apartments in 1996, the Partnership established an escrow account to provide for certain costs the purchaser may incur at the property related to Pittsfield Township, Michigan
inspections and subsequent improvements at the property. The purchaser has been reimbursed $60,094 out of the escrow funds to cover such costs. The Partnership recognized these payments as other expenses in 1997.
The Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes were owned through joint ventures with affiliates. As a result of the sales, affiliates' participation in income from joint venture ceased in 1996. The Partnership's participation in 1996 includes its share of the gains on the sales.
In connection with the sale of the Lake Ridge Apartments in 1997, the Partnership paid $126,222 in prepayment penalties and wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees of $35,539. In connection with the sales of the Pines of Cloverlane, Cedar Crest and Lakeville Resort apartment complexes in 1996, the Partnership wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees of $531,135, of which $195,204 represents the affiliates' share from the Cedar Crest and Lakeville Resort apartment complexes. These amounts were recognized as debt extinguishment expenses and classified as extraordinary items for financial statement purposes.
1996 Compared to 1995 - ---------------------
The sales of five properties during 1996 resulted in decreases in 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 during 1996 as compared to 1995.
Higher average cash balances due to the investment of the proceeds from the property sales prior to distribution to Limited Partners in April and October 1996, resulted in an increase in interest income on short-term investments during 1996 as compared to 1995.
The Partnership incurred higher legal and consulting costs in connection with a response to a tender offer during the fourth quarter of 1995. During 1995 the Partnership also reimbursed the General Partner for legal fees previously advanced by the General Partner with respect to a lawsuit which was dismissed. As a result, administrative expenses decreased during 1996 as compared to 1995.
The Lakeville Resort and Cedar Crest apartment complexes were owned through joint ventures with affiliates. As a result of the affiliates' share of the gains recognized from the property sales during 1996, affiliates' participation in income from joint ventures increased during 1996 as compared to 1995. In connection with the 1995 Lakeville Resort Apartments refinancing, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary debt extinguishment expense of $145,393 relating to the write off of the remaining unamortized deferred expenses on the mortgage note, of which $58,521 represented the affiliate's share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - -------------------------------
The cash position of the Partnership as of December 31, 1997 decreased by approximately $10,885,000 as compared to December 31, 1996 primarily due to the January and April 1997 distributions of sale proceeds to Limited Partners which
were partially offset by the net proceeds received from the sale of the Lake Ridge Apartments in January 1997. Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $200,000 during 1997 consisted primarily of the loss generated from operations of the Lake Ridge Apartments prior to its sale, the payment of expenses related to properties sold in 1996 and the payment of administrative expenses which were partially offset by interest income earned on short-term investments. Cash provided by investing activities of approximately $5,203,000 consisted of the net proceeds received from the sale of the Lake Ridge Apartments. Cash used in financing activities consisted of distributions of approximately $10,613,000 to Limited Partners, the repayment of the Lake Ridge Apartments' mortgage note payable of approximately $4,210,000 and distributions to joint venture partners - affiliates of approximately $1,065,000. In addition, in January 1998 the Partnership made a distribution of $253,715 of remaining available Net Cash Proceeds to Limited Partners, as further discussed below.
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 five properties. During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining property, the Lake Ridge Apartments. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales 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 "Item 3. Legal Proceedings." In the absence of any such contingencies, 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 January 1997, the Partnership sold the Lake Ridge Apartments in an all cash sale for $5,400,000. From the proceeds of the sale, the Partnership paid $4,123,938 and $86,200 to the third party mortgage holders in full satisfaction of the first and second mortgage loans, paid $196,656 in selling costs and also paid $126,222 in prepayment penalties. The remaining available proceeds were distributed to Limited Partners in April 1997. See Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements for additional information.
In connection with the sale of the Pines of Cloverlane Apartments in 1996, the Partnership established an escrow account of $335,000 to provide for certain costs the purchaser may incur related to Pittsfield Township, Michigan inspections and subsequent improvements at the property. The purchaser has been reimbursed $60,094 out of the escrow funds to cover such costs. The term of the escrow is six years, although a settlement is expected to be negotiated by 1999. It is not determinable at this time if the Partnership will receive the remaining amounts in the escrow account.
The Lakeville Resort Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. During October 1996, the joint venture sold the property. Pursuant to the sale agreement for the property, $500,000 of the sale
proceeds was retained by the joint venture and was unavailable for distribution until February 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The Partnership's share of the proceeds was $298,750.
The Cedar Crest Apartments was owned by a joint venture consisting of the Partnership and an affiliate. During November 1996, the joint venture sold the property. Pursuant to the sale agreement for the property, $500,000 of the sale proceeds was retained by the joint venture and was unavailable for distribution until March 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The Partnership's share of the proceeds was $481,800.
The Partnership made distributions totaling $177.50, $119.00 and $2.50 per Interest in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. See Statement of Partners' Capital for additional information. Distributions were comprised of $5.00 per Interest of Net Cash Receipts and $172.50 per Interest of Net Cash Proceeds in 1997, $5.00 per Interest of Net Cash Receipts and $114.00 per Interest of Net Cash Proceeds in 1996 and $2.50 per Interest of Net Cash Receipts in 1995.
In January 1998, the Partnership made a distribution of $253,715 ($4.24 per Interest) to Limited Partners representing a distribution of remaining available Net Cash Proceeds. Including the January 1998 distribution, Limited Partners have received distributions of Net Cash Receipts of $12.50 and Net Cash Proceeds of $290.74, totaling $303.24 per $1,000 Interest, as well as certain tax benefits. No distributions are anticipated to be made prior to the termination of the Partnership. However, after paying final partnership expenses, any remaining cash reserves will be distributed. Limited Partners will not recover a substantial portion of their original investment.

BALCOR REALTY INVESTORS 86-SERIES I A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (An Illinois Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Nature of the Partnership's Business:
Balcor Realty Investors 86-Series I A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") has retained cash reserves from the sale of its real estate investments for contingencies which exist or may arise. The Partnership's operations currently consist of interest income earned on short-term investments and the payment of administrative expenses.
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 five properties. During 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining property, Lake Ridge Apartments. The Partnership has retained a portion of the cash from the property sales 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 13 of Notes to Financial Statements. In the absence of any such contingencies, 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. Accounting Policies:
(a) The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the General Partner to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
(b) Depreciation expense was computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods. Rates used in the determination of depreciation were based upon the following estimated useful lives: Years -----
Buildings and improvements 20 to 30 Furniture and fixtures 5
Maintenance and repairs were charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements were charged to the related asset account.
As properties were sold, the related costs and accumulated depreciation were removed from the respective accounts. Any gain or loss on disposition was recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(c) Effective January 1, 1995 the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Under SFAS 121, the Partnership recorded its investments in real estate at the lower of cost or fair value, and periodically assessed, but not less than on an annual basis, possible impairment to the value of its properties. The General Partner estimated the fair value of its properties based on the current sale price less estimated closing costs. Under SFAS 121, the General Partner determined that no impairment in value had occurred prior to the sales of the properties. The General Partner considered the method referred to above to result in a reasonable measurement of a property's fair value, unless other factors affecting the property's value indicated otherwise.
(d) Deferred expenses consisted of financing fees which were amortized over the terms of the respective loan agreements. Upon sale, any remaining balance was recognized as debt extinguishment expense and classified as an extraordinary item.
(e) The Financial Accounting Standard Board's Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Since quoted market prices are not available for the Partnership's financial instruments, fair values have been based on estimates using present value techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 does not apply to all balance sheet items and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments such as real estate and investment in joint ventures from its disclosure requirements.
(f) 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, income allocations between the partners have been adjusted for financial statement purposes in 1997.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents include all unrestricted, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash is invested or held primarily in one financial institution.
(h) The Partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes and each partner recognizes his proportionate share of the Partnership income or loss in his tax return; therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the Partnership.
(i) Revenue was recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(j) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 128, "Earnings per Share" was adopted by the Partnership for the year-ended December 31, 1997 and has been applied to all prior earnings periods presented in the financial statements. Since the Partnership has no dilutive securities, there is no difference between basic and diluted net income per Limited Partnership Interest.
4. Partnership Agreement:
The Partnership was organized on October 1, 1984. The Partnership Agreement provides for Balcor Partners-XIX to be the General Partner and for the admission of Limited Partners through the sale of up to 250,000 Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Interest, 59,791 of which were sold on or prior to July 31, 1986, the termination date of the offering.
The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner will be allocated 1% of the profits and losses and the Limited Partners will be allocated 99% of the profits and losses. 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, income allocations between the partners have been adjusted for financial statement purposes in 1997.
One hundred percent of Net Cash Receipts available for distribution have been distributed to the holders of Interests in proportion to their Participating Percentages as of the record date for such distributions. There was accrued for the benefit of the General Partner as its distributive share from operations, an amount equivalent to approximately 1% of the total Net Cash Receipts being distributed. The accrued amount would have been paid as part of the General Partner's share of distributed Net Cash Proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the General Partner would have participated in the Net Cash Proceeds of the sale or refinancing of Partnership properties. The General Partner's participation was limited to 15% of remaining Net Cash Proceeds after the return of Original Capital plus any deficiency in the Cumulative Distribution of 6% on Adjusted Original Capital to the holders of Interests. The General Partner will not receive any distributions of Net Cash Receipts or Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with these provisions.
5. Mortgage Note Payable:
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had a mortgage note payable outstanding of $4,210,138 related to the Lake Ridge Apartments. This mortgage note was repaid in connection with the sale of this property during 1997 as further described in Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements.
During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership incurred and paid interest expense on mortgage notes payable of $37,810, $3,512,383 and $6,558,223, respectively.
6. Management Agreements:
The Partnership's properties were under management agreements with a
third-party management company prior to the sales of the properties. These management agreements provided for annual fees of 5% of gross operating receipts.
7. Affiliates' Participation in Joint Venture:
The Cedar Crest and Lakeville Resort apartment complexes were each owned by the Partnership and an affiliate. Both properties were sold in 1996. Profits and losses were allocated 96.36% to the Partnership and 3.64% to the affiliate for Cedar Crest Apartments, and 59.75% to the Partnership and 40.25% to the affiliate for Lakeville Resort Apartments. All assets, liabilities, income and expense of the joint ventures were included in the financial statements of the Partnership with the appropriate adjustment to profit or loss for each affiliate's participation.
Pursuant to the terms of the sale for Lakeville Resort Apartments, the joint venture was required to retain $500,000 of the sale proceeds until February 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The affiliate's share of the proceeds was $201,250. The affiliate also received a distribution of $845,410, principally consisting of its share of repair escrows released during 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the sale for Cedar Crest Apartments, the joint venture was required to retain $500,000 of the sale proceeds until March 1997, at which time the funds were released in full. The affiliate's share of the proceeds was $18,200.
Net (distributions) contributions of $(1,064,860), $(2,670,607) and $46,281 were made to joint venture partners during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, joint venture partners were allocated their pro rata share of the gain on the sales of the Lakeville and Cedar Crest apartment complexes of $4,877,854 and $334,258, respectively, in 1996.
8. Tax Accounting:
The Partnership keeps its books in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and existing interpretations thereof. The accompanying financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will differ from the tax returns due to the different treatment of various items as specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The net effect of these accounting differences is that the net income for 1997 in the financial statements is $517,816 less than the tax income of the Partnership for the same period.
9. Transactions with Affiliates:
Fees and expenses paid and payable by the Partnership to affiliates are:

The Partnership participated in an insurance deductible program with other affiliated partnerships in which the program paid claims up to the amount of the deductible under the master insurance policies for its properties. The program was administered by an affiliate of the General Partner which received no fee for administering the program; however, the General Partner was reimbursed for program expenses. The Partnership paid premiums to the deductible insurance program of $12,750 and $97,161 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
10. Other Expenses:
In connection with the sale of the Pines of Cloverlane Apartments in 1996, the Partnership established an escrow account to provide for certain costs the purchaser may incur at the property related to Pittsfield Township, Michigan inspections and subsequent improvement at the property.
