                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

                           (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.

     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.  (AEI),  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 -

     On  February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the  am/pm  Mini
     Market  in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third  party.
     The  Partnership  received net sale  proceeds  of  $955,401,
     which  resulted in a net gain of $554,742.  At the  time  of
     sale,  the cost and related accumulated depreciation of  the
     property was $779,896 and $379,237, respectively.

     In  April,  1998, the Partnership distributed $1,141,414  of
     net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which
     represented  a  return  of capital of  $159.06  per  Limited
     Partnership Unit.

     The  Partnership  owned  a 6.7522%  interest  in  a  Sizzler
     restaurant  in  Springboro, Ohio.  On  July  21,  1998,  the
     Partnership  sold the property to an unrelated third  party.
     The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $25,385, which
     resulted in a net loss of $1,618.  At the time of sale,  the
     cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property
     was $43,597 and $16,594, respectively.

(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.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

       For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $301,878  and  $315,741,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $7,809 and $18,927, respectively.  In  1999,
rental  income decreased mainly as a result of the  sale  of  the
am/pm  property discussed below.  In 1998, investment income  was
higher   as   the  sale  proceeds  were  invested  in  short-term
investments until they were distributed to the Partners in April,
1998.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the  Partnership  paid  Partnership  administration  expenses  to
affiliated  parties of $76,763 and $81,422, 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  $10,586 and $20,775, 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  September 30, 1999, the Partnership's  annualized
cash  distribution rate was 6.55%, 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.

       The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems that
use  two  digits rather than four to define the applicable  year,
which  may prevent such systems from accurately processing  dates
ending  in  the  Year  2000 and beyond.   This  could  result  in
computer  system failures or disruption of operations, including,
but not limited to, an inability to process transactions, to send
or  receive  electronic data, or to engage  in  routine  business
activities.

        AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services  for  the  Partnership.   In  1998,  AEI  completed   an
assessment of its computer hardware and software systems and  has
replaced or upgraded certain computer hardware and software using
the  assistance  of  outside vendors.  AEI has  received  written
assurance  from  the equipment and software manufacturers  as  to
Year  2000  compliance.   The  costs associated  with  Year  2000
compliance have not been, and are not expected to be, material.

        The  Partnership intends to monitor and communicate  with
tenants regarding Year 2000 compliance, although there can be  no
assurance  that the systems of the various tenants will  be  Year
2000 compliant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  nine months ended September  30,  1999,  the
Partnership's cash balances increased $52,031 as the  Partnership
distributed  less  cash  to the Partners than  it  generated  for
operating  activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities
decreased from $259,459 in 1998 to $257,135 in 1999 mainly  as  a
result of a decrease in total income in 1999, which was partially
offset by a decrease in expenses in 1999.

        Net cash provided by investing activities was $980,786 in
1998,  which  represented cash generated from the  sale  of  real
estate.

        On February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the am/pm Mini
Market  in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third party.   The
Partnership  received  net  sale  proceeds  of  $955,401,   which
resulted  in  a net gain of $554,742.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related accumulated depreciation of the  property  was
$779,896 and $379,237, respectively.

        On  July  21,  1998,  the Partnership  sold  the  Sizzler
property  to an unrelated third party.  The Partnership  received
net  sale  proceeds of $25,385, which resulted in a net  loss  of
$1,618.   At  the time of sale, the cost and related  accumulated
depreciation   of   the   property  was  $43,597   and   $16,594,
respectively.


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.

        In April, 1998, the Partnership distributed $1,141,414 of
net  sale  proceeds  to  the Limited and General  Partners  as  a
special  distribution, which represented a return of  capital  of
$159.06  per  Limited Partnership Unit.  In 1999  and  1998,  the
Partnership paid regular distributions at the same rate based  on
the Limited Partner's Adjusted Capital Contribution.  The special
distribution  of  sale  proceeds  reduced  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution,  which resulted in a reduction in distributions  in
the first nine months of 1999.

        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.

        On October 1, 1999, two Limited Partners redeemed a total
of   4  Partnership  Units  for  $504  in  accordance  with   the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
sixty-two Limited Partners redeemed 459.75 Partnership Units  for
$287,332.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.

       The continuing rent payments from the properties should be
adequate   to  fund  continuing  distributions  and  meet   other
Partnership obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
