NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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.
AEI REAL ESTATE FUND 86-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(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 -
In 1995, the Partnership elected early adoption of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This standard requires the
Partnership to compare the carrying amount of its properties
to the estimated future cash flows expected to result from
the property and its eventual disposition. If the sum of
the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the property, the Statement requires the
Partnership to recognize an impairment loss by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair
value of the property. Adoption of this Statement is not
expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's
financial statements.
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. Since March, 1994,
the Partnership has received no rent from the property. The
total amount of rent not collected in the first six months
of 1996 and 1995 was $19,464 and $31,004, respectively.
These amounts were not accrued for financial reporting
purposes. On April 24, 1996, the Partnership sold the
property to an unrelated third party. The Partnership
received net sale proceeds of $329,785, which resulted in a
net gain of $17,684. At the time of sale, the cost and
related accumulated depreciaiton of the property was
$434,623 and $122,522, respectively.
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.
During 1995 and the first six months of 1996, the
Partnership distributed $223,865 and $39,118 of the net sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of
their regular quarterly distributions, which represented a
return of capital of $30.55 and $5.36 per Limited
Partnership Unit, 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.

(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. In the first six months of 1995, total interest
expense was $3,913.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-term,
triple net lease agreements on the Partnership's properties. For
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
recognized rental income of $242,233 and $350,647, respectively.
During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income
of $52,485 and $234, respectively. In 1996, rental income
decreased as a result of the sale of the Applebee's and Cheddar's
properties 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. Since March 1994, the Partnership
has received no rent from the property. The total amount of rent
not collected in the first six months of 1996 and 1995 was
$19,464 and $31,004, respectively. These amounts were not
accrued for financial reporting purposes. On April 24, 1996, the
Partnership sold the property to an unrelated third party.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $68,470 and $62,293, respectively. These
administration expenses include costs associated with the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $22,615 and $26,318, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit and accounting
costs, taxes, insurance and other property costs.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution rate was 6.6%, 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.
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 term 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first six months ended June 30, 1996, the
Partnership's cash balances increased $350,036, mainly as a
result of the sale of the Kearney Office Building. Net cash
provided by operating activities decreased from $259,114 in 1995
to $223,453 in 1996. The decrease was due to a reduction in
rental income, as a result of property sales, which was partially
offset by additional investment income earned on the net sale
proceeds.
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.
On April 24, 1996, the Partnership sold the office
building in Kearney, Nebraska to an unrelated third party. The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of $329,785, which
resulted in a net gain of $17,684. At the time of sale, the cost
and related accumulated depreciaiton of the property was $434,623
and $122,522, respectively.
During 1995 and the first six months of 1996, the
Partnership distributed $223,865 and $39,118 of the net sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of their
regular quarterly distributions, which represented a return of
capital of $30.55 and $5.36 per Limited Partnership Unit,
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.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and redemption payments to Partners. The Partnership declares
its regular quarterly distributions before the end of each
quarter and pays the distribution in the first week after the end
of each quarter. The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter. Redemption payments
are paid to redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter of each
year. The redemption payments generally are funded with cash
that would normally be paid as part of the regular quarterly
distributions. As a result, total distributions and the
distribution payable have fluctuated from year to year due to
cash used to fund redemption payments. In addition, in the first
six months of 1995, the Partnership made distributions at a 7.66%
rate which resulted in distributions to the Partners of
approximately $284,000. Effective January 1, 1996, the
distribution rate was reduced to 6.6% which resulted in
distributions to the Partners of approximately $236,000.
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. In no event shall the
Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole
discretion of the Managing General Partner, such purchase would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.
During 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.
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. In the first six months of 1995, total interest
expense was $3,913.
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with cash generated from the property sales, should be adequate
to fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership
obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
