                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker &  Parsley  86-A,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a  limited  partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership  engages
primarily in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved
in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

Note 2.     Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of March 31,
1997 of the Partnership  include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of
normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim  period.  However,  these interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements and the notes thereto contained in the  Partnership's  Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1996,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is  available  upon request by writing to
Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice President,  303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas
79701.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                   and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 20% to $172,398 from $216,043
for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1996. The decrease in revenues  resulted from a 28% decline in barrels
of oil  produced  and sold and a 44%  decline in mcf of gas  produced  and sold,
offset by a 16% increase in the average  price  received per barrel of oil and a
31% increase in the average price  received per mcf of gas. For the three months
ended March 31, 1997,  5,543  barrels of oil were sold compared to 7,728 for the
same  period in 1996,  a  decrease  of 2,185  barrels.  Of the  decrease,  1,832
barrels,  or 24%, was  attributable to the sale of four oil and gas wells during
1996.  The  additional  decrease of 4%, or 353  barrels,  was due to the decline
characteristics  of the  Partnership's  oil and gas  properties.  For the  three
months ended March 31, 1997,  18,961 mcf of gas were sold compared to 33,905 for
the same period in 1996, a decrease of 14,944 mcf. Of the decrease, 7,954 mcf,

                                        7

or 23%, was  attributable to the sale of four oil and gas wells during 1996. The
additional decrease of 6,990, or 21%, was due to the decline  characteristics of
the Partnership's oil and gas properties.  Due to these decline characteristics,
management  expects a certain amount of decline in production to continue in the
future  until the  Partnership's  economically  recoverable  reserves  are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $2.93 from $18.87 for the
three months  ended March 31, 1996 to $21.80 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average price  received per mcf of gas increased from $2.07 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $2.72 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The market price for oil and gas has been  extremely  volatile in the
past decade,  and management  expects a certain amount of volatility to continue
in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and
gas production at average  prices lower or higher than that received  during the
three months ended March 31, 1997.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $152,735 for the three months ended March
31,  1997 as compared  to  $167,535  for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
$14,800,  or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs,  general
and administrative expense ("G&A") and depletion.

Production  costs were  $104,951  for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and
$116,875 for the same period in 1996  resulting in a $11,924  decrease,  or 10%.
This  decrease  was the result of a  reduction  in well  repair and  maintenance
costs,  offset by an  increase  in  workover  expenses  incurred in an effort to
stimulate well production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
decreased,  in  aggregate,  20% from $6,481 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 to $5,172 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A
to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was $42,612  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997  compared to
$44,179 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$1,567, or 4%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's  investing  activities during the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 were related to the addition or disposal of oil and gas  equipment
on active properties.

Proceeds from salvage  income of $14,605 were  received  during the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  resulting  from equipment  credits  received on one fully
depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $119,535 of which $118,340 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $1,195 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $76,891 of which $76,122 was distributed to the limited partners and
$769 to the managing general partner.

It is expected  that future net cash  provided by operating  activities  will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
