(1)The   condensed  statements  included  herein  have  been
   prepared  by the Partnership, without audit, and  reflect
   all  adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
   necessary   to  a  fair  statement  of  the  results   of
   operations  for the interim period, on a basis consistent
   with  the  annual  audited statements.   The  adjustments
   made  to  these  condensed  statements  consist  only  of
   normal   recurring  adjustments.   Certain   information,
   accounting  policies,  and footnote disclosures  normally
   included  in financial statements prepared in  accordance
   with  generally accepted accounting principles have  been
   condensed   or  omitted  pursuant  to  such   rules   and
   regulations, although the Partnership believes  that  the
   disclosures   are   adequate  to  make  the   information
   presented  not  misleading.  It is suggested  that  these
   condensed  financial  statements be read  in  conjunction
   with   the  financial  statements  and  the  summary   of
   significant   accounting  policies  and   notes   thereto
   included  in  the Partnership's latest annual  report  on
   Form 10-KSB.

(2)Organization -
  
     AEI   Real   Estate   Fund  86-A  Limited   Partnership
     (Partnership)   was   formed  to  acquire   and   lease
     commercial   properties  to  operating  tenants.    The
     Partnership's  operations  are  managed  by  AEI   Fund
     Management  86-A,  Inc.  (AFM),  the  Managing  General
     Partner  of  the Partnership.  Robert P.  Johnson,  the
     President  and sole shareholder of AFM, serves  as  the
     Individual  General  Partner of  the  Partnership.   An
     affiliate  of AFM, AEI Fund Management, Inc.,  performs
     the  administrative  and operating  functions  for  the
     Partnership.
  
     The  terms  of  the  Partnership offering  call  for  a
     subscription  price  of $1,000 per Limited  Partnership
     Unit,   payable  on  acceptance  of  the  offer.    The
     Partnership commenced operations on April 2, 1986  when
     minimum  subscriptions  of  1,300  Limited  Partnership
     Units  ($1,300,000) were accepted.   The  Partnership's
     offering  terminated on July 9, 1986 when  the  maximum
     subscription  limit of 7,500 Limited Partnership  Units
     ($7,500,000) was reached.
  
     Under  the  terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement,
     the  Limited  Partners and General Partners contributed
     funds  of $7,500,000 and $1,000, respectively.   During
     the  operation of the Partnership, any Net  Cash  Flow,
     as  defined,  which the General Partners  determine  to
     distribute  will  be  distributed 90%  to  the  Limited
     Partners  and  10%  to the General Partners;  provided,
     however,   that  such  distributions  to  the   General
     Partners  will be subordinated to the Limited  Partners
     first  receiving an annual, noncumulative  distribution
     of  Net  Cash  Flow  equal to  10%  of  their  Adjusted
     Capital   Contribution,  as  defined,   and,   provided
     further,  that  in  no event will the General  Partners
     receive  less than 1% of such Net Cash Flow per  annum.
     Distributions  to  Limited Partners will  be  made  pro
     rata by Units.

(2)Organization - (Continued)
  
     Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale  or
     financing  of  the Partnership's properties  which  the
     General  Partners determine to distribute  will,  after
     provisions  for  debts and reserves,  be  paid  in  the
     following  manner:  (i)  first,  99%  to  the   Limited
     Partners  and  1%  to  the General Partners  until  the
     Limited Partners receive an amount equal to: (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount  equal
     to  6%  of  their  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution  per
     annum,  cumulative but not compounded,  to  the  extent
     not  previously  distributed from Net Cash  Flow;  (ii)
     next,  99%  to  the  Limited Partners  and  1%  to  the
     General Partners until the Limited Partners receive  an
     amount   equal   to  14%  of  their  Adjusted   Capital
     Contribution per annum, cumulative but not  compounded,
     to  the extent not previously distributed; (iii)  next,
     to  the General Partners until cumulative distributions
     to  the  General  Partners under Items (ii)  and  (iii)
     equal  15% of cumulative distributions to all  Partners
     under  Items  (ii)  and (iii).  Any  remaining  balance
     will  be  distributed 85% to the Limited  Partners  and
     15%  to  the  General Partners.  Distributions  to  the
     Limited Partners will be made pro rata by Units.
     
     For  tax purposes, profits from operations, other  than
     profits  attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
     refinancing  or other disposition of the  Partnership's
     property, will be allocated first in the same ratio  in
     which,  and to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed
     to  the Partners for such year.  Any additional profits
     will  be allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and  10%
     to  the  General Partners.  In the event  no  Net  Cash
     Flow  is  distributed to the Limited Partners,  90%  of
     each  item  of Partnership income, gain or  credit  for
     each  respective year shall be allocated to the Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be allocated
     to  the  General Partners.  Net losses from  operations
     will  be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners  and  2%
     to the General Partners.
     
     For  tax  purposes,  profits  arising  from  the  sale,
     financing,  or  other disposition of the  Partnership's
     property  will  be  allocated in  accordance  with  the
     Partnership Agreement as follows: (i) first,  to  those
     Partners   with  deficit  balances  in  their   capital
     accounts in an amount equal to the sum of such  deficit
     balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Partners  and
     1%  to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
     in  the  Limited Partners' capital accounts equals  the
     sum   of   the   Limited  Partners'  Adjusted   Capital
     Contributions  plus an amount equal  to  14%  of  their
     Adjusted  Capital  Contributions per annum,  cumulative
     but  not  compounded,  to  the  extent  not  previously
     allocated;  (iii) third, to the General Partners  until
     cumulative  allocations to the General  Partners  equal
     15%  of  cumulative allocations.  Any remaining balance
     will  be allocated 85% to the Limited Partners and  15%
     to  the General Partners.  Losses will be allocated 98%
     to   the   Limited  Partners  and  2%  to  the  General
     Partners.
     
     The  General  Partners  are not required  to  currently
     fund  a  deficit  capital balance. Upon liquidation  of
     the  Partnership  or withdrawal by a  General  Partner,
     the   General   Partners   will   contribute   to   the
     Partnership  an  amount equal  to  the  lesser  of  the
     deficit  balances in their capital accounts  or  1%  of
     total  Limited Partners' and General Partners'  capital
     contributions.

(3)Investments in Real Estate -

     Effective  May  1, 1992, the Partnership  replaced  the
     original  tenant  in  the office building  in  Kearney,
     Nebraska, with a new tenant who, in March, 1993,  filed
     for    reorganization.    The   Partnership    obtained
     possession of the property and listed the property  for
     sale  or lease.  The Partnership received rent of  $975
     per  month through March, 1994, from a tenant  who  was
     sub-leasing part of the building.  The total amount  of
     rent not collected in the first nine months of 1995 and
     1994  was  $46,506  and $43,580,  respectively.   These
     amounts   were  not  accrued  for  financial  reporting
     purposes.
     
     On  July  6,  1995, the Partnership sold the  Cheddar's
     restaurant  in  Columbus, Ohio,  to  the  lessee.   The
     Partnership  received  net sale proceeds  of  $314,826,
     which  resulted in a net gain of $44,137.  At the  time
     of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
     of the property was $306,711 and $36,022, respectively.
     
     In March, 1995, the lessee of the Applebee's restaurant
     in  Fort  Myers, Florida, exercised an  option  in  the
     Lease Agreement to purchase the property.  On July  28,
     1995,  the  sale closed with the Partnership  receiving
     net sale proceeds of $1,646,608 which resulted in a net
     gain  of  $686,548.  At the time of sale, the cost  and
     related  accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
     $1,179,405  and $219,345, respectively.   The  Managing
     General Partner is in the process of preparing a  proxy
     statement  to  propose  an  amendment  to  the  Limited
     Partnership  Agreement that would allow the Partnership
     to  reinvest  the  majority  of  the  net  proceeds  in
     additional properties.
     
     During  the  third  quarter of  1995,  the  Partnership
     distributed  $142,049 of the net sale proceeds  to  the
     Partners   as   part   of   their   regular   quarterly
     distributions, which represented a return of capital of
     $19.33 per Limited Partnership Unit.
     
(4)Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative
     and  operating  functions  for  the  Partnership.   The
     payable  to AEI Fund Management represents the  balance
     due  for  those services.  This balance is non-interest
     bearing  and unsecured and is to be paid in the  normal
     course of business.
     
(5)Line of Credit -

     In   January,  1994,  the  Partnership  established   a
     $100,000 unsecured line of credit at Fidelity  Bank  of
     Edina,  Minnesota.   On January 5,  1995  the  line  of
     credit  was increased to $150,000.  The line of  credit
     bears  interest at the prime rate plus one  percent  on
     the  outstanding balance, which was due on demand,  but
     in  any event no later than January 5, 1996.  The  line
     of   credit   was  established  to  provide  short-term
     financing  to  cover any temporary cash  deficits.   In
     September, 1995, the line of credit was cancelled.   As
     of  December  31, 1994, the amount due on the  line  of
     credit  was $35,000.  In the first nine months of  1995
     and 1994, total interest expense was $4,061 and $1,048,
     respectively.

(6)Pro Forma Financial Information Due to Significant Disposition -

     On  July  28, 1995, the Partnership sold the Applebee's
     restaurant in Fort Myers, Florida, as discussed in Note
     3.   The  pro forma information is presented as if  the
     property  was  sold on January 1, 1995,  for  the  nine
     months  ended  September 30, 1995, and  on  January  1,
     1994, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
     
     As  a  result of assuming the property was sold  at  an
     earlier   date  than  the  actual  sale  date,  certain
     adjustments  were  made  to arrive  at  the  pro  forma
     information.   Rental  income and depreciation  expense
     were  decreased because the property was  owned  for  a
     shorter period of time.  The gain on sale was decreased
     due   to  the  decrease  in  accumulated  depreciation.
     Investment   income  was  increased  to   reflect   the
     investment  of  the  sale proceeds in  a  money  market
     account during the periods presented.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

      The  Partnership's rental income is derived from long-
term  Lease Agreements on the Partnership's properties.   In
March,  1995, the Partnership received $11,247 of additional
rent  from  the  lessee of the Applebee's  restaurant  as  a
result  of  an  increase in sales for the lease  year  ended
January  31,  1995.   In addition, the Partnership  received
$5,484  of additional rent from the lessee of the Applebee's
restaurant for the period prior to the sale of the property.
Pursuant  to  the  Lease Agreement,  the  monthly  rent  was
increased  3.5%  on  August 1, 1995,  for  the  Taco  Cabana
property.  Rental income decreased in 1995, when compared to
the  same  periods  in  1994,  due  to  the  property  sales
discussed   below.   The  decrease  in  rental  income   was
partially  offset by additional investment income earned  on
the net proceeds from the property sales.

        Effective May 1, 1992, the Partnership replaced  the
original tenant in the office building in Kearney, Nebraska,
with   a   new  tenant  who,  in  March,  1993,  filed   for
reorganization.  The Partnership obtained possession of  the
property  and  listed the property for sale or  lease.   The
Partnership  received rent of $975 per month through  March,
1994, from a tenant who was sub-leasing part of the building
from the new tenant.  The total amount of rent not collected
in  the  first nine months of 1995 and 1994 was $46,506  and
$43,580,  respectively.  These amounts were not accrued  for
financial reporting purposes.

        On  July 6, 1995, the Partnership sold the Cheddar's
restaurant   in   Columbus,  Ohio,  to  the   lessee.    The
Partnership  received net sale proceeds of  $314,826,  which
resulted in a net gain of $44,137.  At the time of sale, the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property
was $306,711 and $36,022, respectively.

         In  March,  1995,  the  lessee  of  the  Applebee's
restaurant  in Fort Myers, Florida, exercised an  option  in
the  Lease Agreement to purchase the property.  On July  28,
1995,  the  sale closed with the Partnership  receiving  net
sale proceeds of $1,646,608 which resulted in a net gain  of
$686,548.   At  the  time  of sale,  the  cost  and  related
accumulated depreciation of the property was $1,179,405  and
$219,345, respectively.  The Managing General Partner is  in
the  process  of preparing a proxy statement to  propose  an
amendment  to the Limited Partnership Agreement  that  would
allow  the Partnership to reinvest the majority of  the  net
proceeds in additional properties.

        During  the  third quarter of 1995, the  Partnership
distributed  $142,049  of  the  net  sale  proceeds  to  the
Partners  as  part of their regular quarterly distributions,
which  represented a return of capital of $19.33 per Limited
Partnership Unit.

        During  the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,  the
Partnership incurred Partnership administration and property
management  expenses  of $45,345 and $55,232,  respectively.
These  expenses represent direct payments to  third  parties
for  legal  and  filing  fees, direct administrative  costs,
outside   audit  and  accounting  costs,  interest,   taxes,
insurance   and  other  property  costs.   The   Partnership
administration  expenses  incurred from  affiliates  include
costs  associated  with the management  of  the  properties,
processing   distributions,   reporting   requirements   and
correspondence to the Limited Partners.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        In  January,  1994,  the Partnership  established  a
$100,000 unsecured line of credit at Fidelity Bank of Edina,
Minnesota.   On  January  5, 1995 the  line  of  credit  was
increased to $150,000.  The line of credit bears interest at
the  prime rate plus one percent on the outstanding balance,
which  was  due  on demand, but in any event no  later  than
January  5,  1996.   The line of credit was  established  to
provide  short-term  financing to cover any  temporary  cash
deficits.   The  line of credit was cancelled in  September,
1995.   As of December 31, 1994, the amount due on the  line
of credit was $35,000.  In the first nine months of 1995 and
1994,   total  interest  expense  was  $4,061  and   $1,048,
respectively.

         As   of   September  30,  1995,  the  Partnership's
annualized  cash distribution rate was 7.66%, based  on  the
Adjusted  Capital Contribution.  Distributions of  Net  Cash
Flow  to  the  General  Partners were  subordinated  to  the
Limited  Partners as required in the Partnership  Agreement.
As  a result, 99% of distributions and income were allocated
to Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

        The  Partnership  may purchase  Units  from  Limited
Partners  who  have tendered their Units to the Partnership.
Such  Units  may be acquired at a discount.  The Partnership
is not obligated to purchase in any year more than 5% of the
total  number of Units outstanding at the beginning  of  the
year  and in no event, obligated to purchase Units  if  such
purchase  would  impair the capital  or  operations  of  the
Partnership.

        On  October  1,  1995,  seventeen  Limited  Partners
redeemed  a  total of 55 Partnership Units  for  $34,815  in
accordance  with the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership
acquired  these  Units using Net Cash Flow from  operations.
In  prior  years,  a total of twenty-nine  Limited  Partners
redeemed   223.75  Partnership  Units  for  $177,047.    The
redemptions   increase  the  remaining   Limited   Partners'
ownership interest in the Partnership.

        Inflation  has had a minimal effect on  income  from
operations.  It is expected that increases in sales  volumes
of the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, will
result in an increase in rental income over the terms of the
leases.   Inflation  also may cause the  Partnership's  real
estate  to  appreciate  in value.   However,  inflation  and
changing  prices  may  also have an adverse  impact  on  the
operating  margins  of the properties' tenants  which  could
impair their ability to pay rent and subsequently reduce the
Partnership's Net Cash Flow available for distributions.
