Item 1.  Business.

         Participating   Income   Properties  1986,  L.P.,  a  Delaware  limited
partnership  (the  "Partnership"),  was  organized  on June 23,  1986  under the
Delaware Revised Uniform Limited  Partnership  Act. The Partnership  serves as a
co-general  partner of  FFCA/PIP  1986  Property  Company,  a  Delaware  general
partnership  (the  "Company"),  which was  organized to acquire new and existing
travel plazas, including land, buildings and equipment, to be leased to Flying J
Inc. and to franchisees of Flying J Franchise Inc. The other co-general  partner
of the Company is Perimeter Center Management Company ("PCMC").  The Partnership
invests in the travel  plazas  through  the  Company to avoid  burdensome  state
filing requirements. The Partnership is entitled to 99.9% of all of the profits,
losses  and  disbursable  cash  of  the  Company.  The  general  partner  of the
Partnership is FFCA Management Company Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware limited
partnership  (the  "General  Partner").  Under the  terms of the First  Restated
Agreement of Partnership of the Company,  the General Partner is entitled to the
remaining 0.1% of the profits, losses and disbursable cash of the Company.

         FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation  86-B, a Delaware  corporation and
wholly-owned  subsidiary of PCMC, which is the corporate  general partner of the
General Partner, was incorporated on June 23, 1986, to serve as the assignor and
initial  limited  partner  of the  Partnership  and the  owner of  record of the
limited  partnership  interests  in the  Partnership.  The  limited  partnership
interests are assigned by FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation 86-B to investors
in the Partnership.  FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation 86-B conducts no other
business activity.  The Partnership and FFCA Investor Services  Corporation 86-B
are referred to collectively as the "Co-Registrants."

         The  statements  contained  in  this  report,  if not  historical,  are
forward-looking  statements and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the results, financial or otherwise, or
other  expectations   described  in  such  forward-looking   statements.   These
statements are identified with the words "anticipated" or "expected". Therefore,
forward-looking  statements  should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual
future results or occurrences.

         On October 10, 1986, the Co-Registrants  commenced a public offering of
$75,000,000  in  limited  partnership  depository  units  (the  "Units")  in the
Partnership  pursuant  to a  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-11  under  the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The  Co-Registrants  sold a total of 51,687
Units to investors at $1,000 per Unit for a total of $51,687,000.  Purchasers of
the Units  (the  "Holders")  acquired  the  following  number of Units from FFCA
Investor Services  Corporation 86-B on each of the following dates: 19,865 Units
on January 15,  1987;  and 31,822 Units on April 16,  1987.  Subsequent  to that
date, no Holder has made any additional capital contribution.  The Holders share
in the benefits of ownership of the Partnership's assets, including its interest
in the Company's real and personal property investments, according to the number
of Units  held,  in  substantially  the same  manner as limited  partners of the
Partnership.

         After deducting  organizational and offering expenses,  including sales
commissions,  the net proceeds of the offering of the Units,  $45,613,778,  were
fully invested by the Partnership,  through its investment in the Company, as of
September 1988, in eleven "Flying J Travel
                                       1
<PAGE>
Plazas"  located in nine  states.  "Flying J Travel  Plaza"  facilities  offer a
full-service  operation,  generally  including  fuel  facilities,  a restaurant,
convenience  store and other  amenities  for use by the  trucking  industry  and
traveling  public in general.  As of March 14, 1997,  eight of the travel plazas
owned by the Partnership  were leased to CFJ Properties  ("CFJ  Properties"),  a
general  partnership  formed  pursuant to a joint venture between Flying J Inc.,
through its  subsidiary,  Big West Oil  Company  ("Big  West"),  and Douglas Oil
Company of California,  a subsidiary of Conoco Inc.  ("Douglas Oil"), one of the
travel  plazas was leased to Flying J Inc. and the  remaining two were leased to
franchisees of Flying J Franchise Inc.  ("FJFI"),  a subsidiary of Flying J Inc.
and the franchisor of Flying J Travel Plazas.  The  Partnership  and the Company
are not affiliated with CFJ Properties, Flying J Inc. or FJFI.

         The Partnership's  principal  objectives  through its investment in the
Company  are to (i)  preserve,  protect and enhance  Partnership  capital,  (ii)
provide partially  tax-sheltered cash distributions to investors,  (iii) provide
the potential for increased  income and  protection  against  inflation  through
participation in the gross revenues of Flying J Travel Plaza facilities and (iv)
obtain long-term appreciation in the value of its properties through real estate
ownership.

         Real estate owned by the Company is  generally  leased for a term of 20
years.  Equipment  is  generally  leased for a term of eight  years.  Of the two
equipment leases remaining at December 31, 1996, one will expire and the related
equipment is  anticipated to be sold to the lessee in January 1998 and the other
lease is not  subject to a  purchase  option.  Lessees  must  generally  pay the
Company  annual rental  payments (in monthly  installments)  equal to 10% of the
Company's total investment in properties.  As additional rent under the terms of
the lease,  the  Company  is  entitled  to  receive a portion  of the  operating
revenues of the lessees  equal to (i) 4% of annual gross  receipts  derived from
the travel plaza facility, excluding fuel sales, (ii) 3/10 of $.01 per gallon of
fuel sold and (iii) 4% of all amounts  received by the lessee for any lease year
pursuant  to any  sublease  by the  lessee of any part of its  leased  premises.
Reference  is made to Note (3) of the Notes to Financial  Statements  filed with
this Report for a schedule of the minimum  future lease  payments to be received
by the Company on its properties.

         The Partnership is dependent upon CFJ Properties, its principal lessee,
since an adverse  change in the  financial  condition  of CFJ  Properties  could
materially  affect  their  ability  to make lease  payments.  During  1996,  CFJ
Properties  and  Flying J Inc.  together  contributed  approximately  88% of the
Company's  total rental and  participating  rental  revenue for the year and are
expected to contribute a similar percentage of revenue in 1997.

         On February 1, 1991,  Flying J Inc.,  through its  subsidiary Big West,
entered into a joint venture with Douglas Oil to form CFJ  Properties.  Flying J
Inc.  (and  subsidiaries)  is a fully  integrated  oil and gas  company  that is
engaged in the  production,  refining,  transportation,  wholesaling  and retail
marketing of petroleum products and other services through its travel plazas and
gasoline stations. CFJ Properties is the franchisor and operator of the Flying J
Inc.  network of interstate  travel  plazas,  which included 66 properties as of
January 31, 1996. The Company owns eight of these properties. Under the terms of
the joint venture,  Big West sold to Douglas Oil certain Flying J Travel Plazas,
which  Douglas  Oil  contributed  back to CFJ  Properties.  In  addition to this
initial  contribution,  Douglas Oil also made  additional  contributions  to CFJ
Properties. As its initial contribution,  Big West transferred to CFJ Properties
certain  leasehold  interests  and  Flying J  Travel  Plazas,  and  subsequently
contributed to CFJ Properties
                                       2
<PAGE>
various assets  including  working capital,  inventories and future  development
sites.  With the exception of the Butte,  Montana  travel  plaza,  Flying J Inc.
assigned its  leasehold  interests in the travel  plazas owned by the Company to
CFJ Properties  and was released by the Company with respect to its  obligations
under those leases.

         The Partnership's  leases with CFJ Properties are with full recourse to
the assets of CFJ Properties, but without recourse to Big West or Douglas Oil. A
default  on one  lease  constitutes  a default  on all other  leases to the same
lessee by the Partnership and two other partnerships  sponsored by affiliates of
the General Partner, all of whose travel plazas are leased to Flying J Inc., CFJ
Properties or franchisees of FJFI.

         For the fiscal year ended  January 31, 1996,  CFJ  Properties  reported
earnings of $17.2  million on revenues of $937.4  million.  Revenues  rose 33.3%
from $703.4  million  the prior  year.  The higher  revenues  resulted  from the
opening of twelve new units and increases in average unit  volumes.  As a result
of higher revenues,  net income increased to $17.2 million from $16.1 million in
the fiscal year ended January 31, 1995.

         During the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, CFJ Properties  reported
$35.8 million in net cash  provided by operating  activities.  This cash,  along
with  the cash  provided  by  financing  activities,  was  used to make  capital
expenditures.  As of January 31, 1996, CFJ Properties  reported cash balances of
approximately  $2.3 million,  with  liquidity  supported by net cash provided by
operating  activities and a $70 million revolving line of credit with a bank. As
of January 31, 1996, CFJ Properties reported partners' capital of $137.7 million
and total assets of $369.4 million.

         CFJ Properties leases travel plazas and equipment under  non-cancelable
operating  leases,  which expire at various  dates over the next 15 to 20 years.
Payments  under these  leases were $13.3  million in both 1996 and 1995.  Future
minimum  annual rent  obligations  under  non-cancelable  leases,  as  projected
through 2001, remain comparable to 1996 expense amounts.

         The  nine  properties  operated  by CFJ  Properties  and  Flying J Inc.
generated a combined fuel and non-fuel gross profit  (including other income) of
approximately  $26.8  million  during the fiscal year ended  January 31, 1996 as
compared to $28 million in 1995. Total travel plaza unit-level  income for these
nine properties (before  depreciation and allocated  corporate overhead) totaled
approximately  $2.8 million in 1996 with five of the nine  properties  reporting
positive  unit-level income.  The remaining four properties  reported net losses
due to intense fuel price  competition  in their  geographic  area. The combined
result of the travel plaza unit-level  income before  depreciation and allocated
corporate  overhead  was down from  $4.1  million  in the  prior  year due to an
overall decrease in fuel gross profit margins while the total volume of fuel and
non-fuel sales remained  relatively  constant between years. For CFJ Properties'
fiscal  year  ended  January  31,  1996,   the  average   unit-level   base  and
participating rents approximated 14.4% of the original cost of these properties.

         Those  properties  that each  represent  over 10% of the  Partnership's
total assets are located in Amarillo, Texas; Clive, Iowa and Cheyenne, Wyoming.

         The travel  plaza/truckstop  industry,  although highly fragmented,  is
highly  competitive. 
                                       3
<PAGE>
The   Company's   lessees   are   competing   with,   among   others,   National
Auto/Truckstops,  Petro  and  Pilot  Corporation,  as  well as  other  national,
regional and local  truckstop  operators,  some of which may have  substantially
greater financial resources than the lessees. The Company's lessees also compete
with other entities which provide hospitality goods and services to the trucking
industry and traveling public in general. The major competitive factors include,
among others,  location, ease of access, brand identification,  pricing, product
and service  selections,  customer service,  store  appearance,  cleanliness and
safety.  The  Flying J Travel  Plaza  facilities  owned by the  Company  offer a
full-service  operation,  generally including fuel facilities,  a restaurant,  a
convenience  store and other  amenities  for use by the  trucking  industry  and
traveling  public in general.  Flying J Franchise Inc. reports that the Flying J
Travel  Plaza  network  consists  of more than 100  facilities  across  the U.S.
interstate  highway  system.  The travel plaza sites have been selected based on
traffic  patterns and volumes,  and access to interstate  highways,  among other
criteria.

         According to the American Trucking  Association,  the trucking industry
grosses  more than  $340  billion  annually,  representing  78% of the  nation's
freight bill. The 20 million  commercial  trucks registered in the United States
consume  approximately  39 billion  gallons of fuel  annually.  The  Partnership
believes  that the  trucking  industry is  sensitive  to certain  aspects of the
general economic  environment,  such as retail sales;  the level,  direction and
rate of change in inventories; international trade; vendor performance; the cost
and availability of fuel; labor issues; and technology. The trucking industry is
also affected by various government  policies,  including economic  regulations;
vehicle  size and weight  regulations;  and  health,  safety  and  environmental
protection regulations. These factors also may influence the competitive posture
of one mode of transportation compared to others; however, the trucking industry
has presented itself as an affordable and timely alternative to other methods of
transportation such as air freight and rail, particularly for short hauls.

         Through ownership of the travel plazas, the Partnership and the Company
are subject to the risks  associated with the  underground  storage of petroleum
products such as gasoline. In this regard, the Partnership's lessees are subject
to various federal,  state and local regulations and  environmental  laws. These
laws and regulations  affect the storing,  dispensing and discharge of petroleum
and other  wastes and affect the  lessees  both in the  securing  of permits for
fueling operations and in the ongoing conduct of such operations.

         Federal,  state and local regulatory  agencies have adopted regulations
governing  underground  storage tanks  ("UST's") that require the  Partnership's
lessees to make certain  expenditures  for  compliance.  In  particular,  at the
federal  level,  the  Resource   Conservation  and  Recovery  Act  requires  the
Environmental  Protection Agency ("EPA") to establish a comprehensive regulatory
program for the detection,  prevention and cleanup of leaking UST's. Regulations
enacted  by the EPA in 1988  established  requirements  for (i)  installing  UST
systems; (ii) upgrading UST systems;  (iii) taking corrective action in response
to releases; (iv) closing UST systems; (v) keeping appropriate records; and (vi)
maintaining  evidence of financial  responsibility  for taking corrective action
and  compensating  third parties for bodily injury and property damage resulting
from  releases.  These  regulations  permit  states to develop,  administer  and
enforce their own regulatory programs,  incorporating  requirements which are at
least as  stringent  as the  federal  standards.  By  1998,  all  UST's  must be
corrosion  protected,  overfill/spill  protected and have leak detection.  These
environmental laws impose strict liability for owners
                                       4
<PAGE>
and  operators of faulty and leaking  storage  tanks  resulting in damage to the
environment or third parties.

         The  Partnership  has taken steps to (i) ensure that the lessees comply
with applicable rules and regulations;  (ii) mitigate any potential liabilities,
including the  establishment  of storage tank monitoring  procedures;  and (iii)
require that lessees  indemnify the  Partnership  for all such  liabilities  and
obtain liability insurance,  if reasonably  available.  The Partnership requires
each  lessee  to  obtain  an  annual  environmental   audit,   performed  by  an
environmental  consulting  and  engineering  firm,  which includes the following
procedures, among others: month-end cumulative fuel inventory variance analysis;
tank tightness tests; automatic tank gauging and leak detection system operation
and  calibration  tests;  UST  excavation  zone  groundwater  and/or  soil vapor
monitoring well analysis;  piping system tightness tests; piping excavation zone
ground water and/or soil vapor  monitoring  well  analysis;  pipe leak  detector
inspection and calibration  tests;  corrosion  protection system tests;  on-site
sanitary  sewer  treatment  plant  effluent  analysis;  and oil/water  separator
inspections.   The  consulting  and   engineering   firm  also  reviews  on-site
environmental correspondence;  visually inspects the UST system, tank and piping
excavation zone monitoring wells,  areas adjacent to all petroleum  above-ground
tanks,  the  stormwater  and wastewater  control  systems,  and the travel plaza
facility;  and  discusses  employee  training  procedures,   recent  significant
environmental events (if any), repair and maintenance activities, and regulatory
compliance with travel plaza personnel.

         The  Partnership  believes that its lessees are in compliance  with all
applicable  regulatory  requirements  and that its lessees have all governmental
licenses and permits required for their business operations. Management knows of
no pending or threatened  proceedings or  investigations  under federal or state
environmental  laws;  however,  management  cannot  predict  the  impact  on the
Partnership's lessees of new governmental regulations and requirements. Although
the Partnership has taken necessary  steps, as discussed above, to ensure lessee
compliance  with  environmental  regulations,  there  can be no  assurance  that
significant cleanup or compliance costs may not be incurred which may affect the
lessees' ability to make their scheduled lease payments to the Partnership.

         The Partnership, through its investment in the Company, has invested in
real estate  located in nine  states in the western and central  portions of the
United States,  and no real estate investments are located outside of the United
States.  A  presentation  of  revenues  or  assets by  geographic  region is not
applicable and would not be material to an  understanding  of the  Partnership's
business taken as a whole.

         The  Partnership  does not believe  that any aspect of its  business is
significantly seasonal in nature.

         No portion of the Partnership's business is subject to renegotiation of
profits or  termination  of  contracts  or  subcontracts  at the election of the
United States Government.  The Partnership does not manufacture any products and
therefore does not require any raw materials in order to conduct its business.

         The  Partnership is managed by the General Partner and therefore has no
employees of its own. FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation 86-B has no employees
because it does not conduct 
                                       5

any business operations.

Item 2.  Properties.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership, through its investment in the
Company, had acquired 11 travel plaza properties located in nine states, without
borrowings by the Company or the  Partnership.  The properties  were acquired by
the  Company  during  1987  and  1988  with  the net  proceeds  received  by the
Partnership from the public offering of the Units.

         The Partnership's travel plazas, divided into sections which serve both
the  commercial  and  non-commercial  traveler,  generally  offer  a  multi-use,
full-service  operation  including  fuel  facilities for the storage and sale of
automotive and diesel fuels, a 24-hour restaurant, a convenience store, restroom
facilities with private showers,  and other amenities designed to meet the needs
of the  trucking  industry  and the  traveling  public in general.  Three of the
Company's  properties  represent over 10% of the Partnership's  total assets, as
follows:

                                                 Approximate % of
            Location                               Total Assets

        Clive, Iowa                                    15.0%
        Cheyenne, Wyoming                              10.2%
        Amarillo, Texas                                11.4%

         The  following  is a  description  of the  properties  acquired  by the
Company.

         Boise,  Idaho.  The  Boise  travel  plaza  is  a  completely  renovated
full-service  travel plaza,  built on a parcel  consisting of  approximately  21

</TABLE>

         Cash from  operations,  defined as disbursable cash in the agreement of
limited  partnership  which  governs  the  Partnership,  is  distributed  to the
Holders.  Any variations in the amount of distributions  from quarter to quarter
are due to fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities.  Reference
is made to Item 7 below for a discussion and analysis of such fluctuations. Cash
proceeds from the sale of property, when distributed, represent a partial return
of the limited  partners'  initial  $1,000 per unit  capital  contribution.  The
Adjusted  Capital  Contribution  
                                       8
<PAGE>
of a Holder is generally the Holder's  initial capital  contribution  reduced by
the cash  distributions  to the Holders of proceeds from the sale of Partnership
properties  and  reduced  by  any  other  cash  distributions  other  than  from
operations.  The  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution  per Unit of the  Holders,  as
defined in the agreement of limited  partnership  which governs the Partnership,
was $960.34 as of December 31,  1996.  At December  31,  1995,  the  Partnership
declared a return of capital of $2,050,000 ($39.66 per Unit) related to the 1994
sale of the Boise,  Idaho lodging premises and equipment,  which was distributed
in January 1996.

         Any differences in the amounts of distributions  set forth in the above
tables from the  information  contained  in Item 6 below are due to rounding the
amount of  distributions  payable  per Unit down to the  nearest  whole cent and
carrying  any  fractional  cents  forward  from  one  period  to the  next.  The
Partnership  expects  to  continue  making  cash  distributions  to the  Holders
pursuant to the provisions of the agreement of limited partnership which governs
the  Partnership.  The General  Partner knows of no material  restrictions  that
would limit the Partnership's ability to pay distributions to the Holders in the
future.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership  received $51,687,000 in gross proceeds from its public
offering of the Units.  After deducting  organizational  and offering  expenses,
including sales commissions, the Partnership,  through the Company, invested the
net  offering  proceeds  of  $45,613,778  in eleven  travel  plazas.  The rental
payments from lessees of the properties are the Partnership's  primary source of
income.

         As of  December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  had cash and  marketable
securities with a maturity of three months or less generally  collateralized  by
United States government obligations  aggregating $2,346,371 of which $1,321,120
was paid out to the Holders in January 1997 as their fourth quarter distribution
for  1996,  and the  remainder  of  which  will be held by the  Partnership  for
reserves. The Partnership uses the rental revenues from the Company's properties
to meet its cash needs and those of the Company, and it is anticipated that such
revenues  will be  sufficient  to meet  all of the  Partnership's  expenses  and
provide cash for distribution to the Holders.

         On October 6, 1994, CFJ Properties (the lessee) exercised its option to
purchase the lodging premises and equipment  located at the Boise,  Idaho travel
plaza.  Proceeds  from the  sale of the  lodging  premises  of  $2,050,000  were
distributed by the  Partnership in January 1996 as a return of capital.  The net
decrease  in cash  and cash  equivalents  of  $1,303,606  during  1996  resulted
primarily from the return of the 1994 sale proceeds. This decrease was partially
offset by the proceeds from a partial land sale and the sale of equipment to the
lessees of seven travel plazas upon exercise of their purchase option at the end
of the equipment lease term.

         The General  Partner  knows of no other trends,  demands,  commitments,
events or  uncertainties  that will result in or that are  reasonably  likely to
result in the Partnership's  liquidity  increasing or decreasing in any material
way.

         FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation 86-B serves as the initial limited
partner  of the  Partnership  and the  owner of record  of the  limited  partner
interests in the  Partnership,  the rights and benefits of which are assigned by
FFCA Investor  Services  Corporation 86-B to investors in the Partnership.  FFCA
Investor  Services  Corporation  86-B has no other business  activity and has no
capital resources.

Results of Operations

         The  Partnership,  through the Company,  began  acquiring  travel plaza
properties  using the net  proceeds  of the  offering in 1987 and  continued  to
purchase properties until becoming fully invested in September 1988. The Company
received or accrued 100% of the lease  payments due it from its lessees in 1996,
1995 and 1994.

<PAGE>
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to
  Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1995

         The Partnership's  total revenues  decreased to $6,289,831 for the year
ended December 31, 1996 from $6,563,996 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Of
this decrease,  $81,328 was  attributable to lower gains on the sale of property
in 1996 and $97,407 in lower interest  income resulted from a lower average cash
balance  invested  since the  proceeds  from the sale of the Boise  travel plaza
lodging  facility  (which were  invested in temporary  investment  securities in
1995) were  returned  to the  limited  partners in January  1996.  In  addition,
participating  rental revenue  decreased $76,279 due to decreased overall travel
plaza  sales.  In June  1996,  a credit  card  issuer to  Flying J Travel  Plaza
customers  terminated  its  relationship  with the travel  plazas.  As a result,
volumes and margins at many Flying J Travel Plaza locations decreased during the
latter part of 1996.  CFJ  Properties  expects the  situation to  stabilize  and
volumes to be restored by early 1997.  Also  contributing  to the decrease was a
decrease in rental  revenue of $19,151  relating  to a partial  land sale in the
first quarter of 1996 which resulted in a monthly  reduction of $2,128 in rental
revenue.

         Total  Partnership  expenses for 1996 were  $2,271,611,  representing a
decrease of  approximately  13.1% from $2,614,608 in 1995,  primarily  resulting
from a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense of  $303,569  related to the sale of
travel plaza  equipment in 1996 and 1995.  Also  contributing to the decrease in
total  expenses is a general  decrease in  operating  expenses of  approximately
$24,000.  Net income for 1996 was $4,013,518 as compared to $3,944,780 for 1995,
representing a difference of less than 2%.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to
  Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1994

         The Partnership's total revenues decreased from $7,179,846 for the year
ended  December  31, 1994 to  $6,563,996  for the year ended  December 31, 1995,
primarily  due to gains during 1994  totaling  $653,477 on the sale of the Boise
travel plaza lodging  facility and on the sale of a one-half acre parcel of land
on this  travel  plaza.  In  addition,  as a result  of the sale of the  lodging
facility  in 1994,  there was a decrease in 1995 base  rentals of  approximately
$160,000  and a decrease  in  participating  rentals of  approximately  $65,000.
Offsetting  these  decreases  were gains on the sale of equipment in 1995 and an
increase in interest  income over 1994 of $114,805 due to a higher  average cash
balance.

         Total  Partnership  expenses for 1995 were  $2,614,608,  representing a
decrease of approximately 6.6% from $2,799,476 in 1994, primarily resulting from
a decrease in depreciation  expense of $148,025 related to the sale of the Boise
travel plaza  lodging  facility in 1994.  Also  contributing  to the decrease in
total expenses is the decrease in operating  expenses due to lower legal fees in
1995 than in 1994.  Net income for 1995 was $3,944,780 as compared to $4,375,249
for 1994, representing a decrease of approximately 9.8%.

Inflation

         Inflation may cause an increase in each travel  plaza's gross  revenues
due to price  increases.  This may cause an increase in rental income  because a
portion of the lessees'  lease  
                                       11
<PAGE>
payments are computed as a percentage of the lessees' gross  revenues.  Thus, as
gross sales increase the lease  payments will also increase.  Inflation may also
tend to increase the rate of capital  appreciation  of the Company's  properties
over a period of time as gross rental  income from the  properties  continues to
increase. Inflation may, however, have an adverse impact on the profitability of
the lessees because of increases in operating expenses.  Inflation has no impact
on FFCA Investor Services Corporation 86-B's activities.

Report of Independent Public Accountants



To Participating Income Properties 1986, L.P.:

         We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of
PARTICIPATING  INCOME PROPERTIES 1986, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and
affiliate  as of  December  31,  1996 and  1995,  and the  related  consolidated
statements  of income,  changes in partners'  capital and cash flows for each of
the  three  years  in the  period  ended  December  31,  1996.  These  financial
statements  and the  schedule  referred to below are the  responsibility  of the
partnership's  general partner.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred to above  present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Participating Income
Properties  1986,  L.P. and affiliate as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the
results of their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period  ended  December  31,  1996 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

         Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole.  The  schedule  of  Real  Estate  and
Accumulated  Depreciation  is  presented  for  purposes  of  complying  with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission's  rules and is not a required  part of the
basic  financial  statements.  This schedule has been  subjected to the auditing
procedures  applied in our audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our
opinion,  fairly states in all material  respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                   ------------------------------------------

                           December 31, 1996 and 1995
                           --------------------------

1)  ORGANIZATION:
    -------------

         Participating Income Properties 1986, L.P. (the Partnership) was formed
on June 23, 1986 under the Delaware  Revised Uniform Limited  Partnership Act to
invest as a co-general  partner with Franchise Finance  Corporation of America I
(FFCA I) in FFCA/PIP 1986 Property Company, a Delaware general  partnership (the
Company).  FFCA I sold its  interest in the Company on May 31, 1994 to Perimeter
Center Management Company (PCMC). The general partner of the Partnership is FFCA
Management Company Limited  Partnership (the General Partner) of which PCMC is a
general partner.  The Company was organized to purchase new and existing "Flying
J Travel Plaza" facilities, including land, buildings and equipment to be leased
on a net basis to Flying J Inc.  and certain  franchisees  of Flying J Franchise
Inc. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,  eight of the eleven  travel plazas owned by
the  Partnership  were leased to CFJ Properties  (CFJ), an affiliate of Flying J
Inc., one of the travel plazas was leased to Flying J Inc. and the remaining two
were leased to franchisees that operate Flying J Travel Plazas. "Flying J Travel
Plaza"  facilities  offer a  full-service  operation,  generally  including fuel
facilities,  a restaurant,  convenience store and other amenities for use by the
trucking  industry and  traveling  public in general.  The  Partnership  and the
Company will expire  December  31, 2029 and 2028,  respectively,  or sooner,  in
accordance with the terms of their respective agreements.

         Investors acquired units of assigned limited partnership  interest (the
limited  partnership  units)  in the  Partnership  from FFCA  Investor  Services
Corporation  86-B  (the  Initial  Limited  Partner),   a  Delaware   corporation
wholly-owned by PCMC. Holders of the units have all of the economic benefits and
substantially  the same rights and powers of limited partners;  therefore,  they
are referred to herein as "limited partners."

         The Partnership agreement provides for allocation of profits and losses
and cash distributions among its partners as follows:

         Profits and Losses: Allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
         General Partner.

         Cash Distributions: All cash from operations, as defined, after payment
         of fees to the General Partner is allocated 99% to the limited partners
         and 1% to the General Partner.  Cash proceeds from the sale of property
         are  not  considered  cash  from  operations  but,  when   distributed,
         represent a partial return of the limited  partners' initial $1,000 per
         unit  capital  contribution.  There  has been  one  such  distribution,
         therefore,  the  limited  partner  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution,  as
         defined in the Partnership  agreement,  at December 31, 1996 is $960.34
         per unit.

         The following is a reconciliation  of net income to cash  distributions
from operations as defined in the Partnership agreement:

which the Partnership holds a substantial  interest,  as discussed in Note 1. In
addition,  the  Partnership has the right to remove the other general partner of
the  Company  with  the  consent  of  more  than  50% of the  limited  partners'
interests.  All significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements are prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting.  The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Although management believes
its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Cash and Cash  Equivalents  -  Investment  securities  that are  highly
liquid and have  maturities  of three months or less at the date of purchase are
classified as cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents include United States Treasury
securities  of  $2,210,317  and  $3,335,997  at  December  31,  1996  and  1995,
respectively, and bank repurchase agreements (which are collateralized by United
States  Treasury and Government  obligations)  of $125,074 at December 31, 1995.
Short-term  investments  are  recorded  at cost  plus  accrued  interest,  which
approximates market value.

         Leases - The Partnership leases its property under long-term net leases
which are classified as operating  leases.  Rental revenue from operating leases
is recognized as it is earned.

         Depreciation  -  Depreciation   on  buildings  is  provided  using  the
straight-line method based upon an estimated useful life of 24 years.  Equipment
is  depreciated  over an estimated  useful life of eight  years,  assuming a 10%
salvage  value at the end of its useful life.  The cost of  properties  includes
miscellaneous acquisition and closing costs.

3)  PROPERTY SUBJECT TO OPERATING LEASES:
    -------------------------------------

         The following is an analysis of the Partnership's  investment, at cost,
in property  subject to operating leases by major class at December 31, 1996 and
1995:

         Lease agreements provide for monthly base rentals equal to a percentage
of the property's  cost. As additional  rent, the Company  receives a portion of
the  operating  revenues of the lessee equal to a percentage  of gross  receipts
(participating  rentals)  from travel  plaza  facilities,  fuel sales and travel
plaza lodging  facilities (one of the travel plazas operated a lodging  facility
which was sold in October  1994).  The terms of the  leases are eight  years for
equipment  and 20 years for land and  buildings.  Generally,  the lessee has the
option to purchase equipment (at fair market value) at the end of the lease term
and land and buildings (at the greater of fair market 
<PAGE>
value or cost) at any time  after the first ten years of the  lease.  Of the two
equipment leases remaining at December 31, 1996, one will expire and the related
equipment  will be sold to the lessee in January 1998 and the other lease is not
subject to a purchase  option.  During the year ended December 31, 1996, CFJ and
Flying J Inc.,  accounting  for 88% of total  rental  and  participating  rental
revenue,  operated a total of nine  Partnership  properties  in Idaho,  Montana,
California,  Arizona, Iowa, Missouri,  Texas and Wyoming. The Partnership is the
beneficiary  of a letter of credit from CFJ in the amount of $634,300 to be used
as security for CFJ's lease payments.

         Minimum  future  rentals   (excluding   participating   rentals)  under
noncancellable operating leases as of December 31, 1996, are as follows:

                                                              ===========

         The General Partner, the Company,  Flying J Inc. and Flying J Franchise
Inc. have entered into an operating agreement.  In the event of a default in the
payment of any amount due and payable under the lease  agreements,  and upon the
General  Partner's  written  request  and  delivery of the  defaulting  lessee's
property to Flying J Inc.,  Flying J Inc. has agreed to operate  such  defaulted
lessee's property for the maximum potential lease term.

4)  INCOME TAXES:
    -------------

         The Partnership is not directly subject to income taxes;  rather,  each
partner is subject to income taxes on his distributable share of taxable income.
The Partnership tax returns and the amount of distributable  partnership profits
or losses are subject to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities. If
examinations  by  taxing   authorities   result  in  changes  to   distributable
partnership  profits or losses,  the tax  liabilities  of the partners  could be
changed accordingly.

         The following is a reconciliation of net income for financial reporting
purposes to income  reported for Federal income tax purposes for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

         At December 31,  1996,  the tax bases of the  Partnership's  assets and
liabilities  exceed the amounts  recorded for  financial  reporting  purposes by
$4,133,476.  This  difference  results  primarily  from  the  use  of  different
depreciation methods for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.

5)  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:
    ----------------------------------

         Under the terms of the  Partnership  agreement,  the General Partner is
entitled to  compensation  for certain  services  performed in  connection  with
managing the affairs of the  Partnership.  During 1996, 1995 and 1994, fees paid
to the General Partner were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                                   1996                  1995                  1994
                                                                 --------              --------              --------
         <S>                                                     <C>                   <C>                   <C>     
         Disbursable cash fee                                    $543,553              $558,712              $566,887
                                                                 ========              ========              ========
</TABLE>
         The  disbursable  cash  fee  equals  9% of  all  cash  received  by the
Partnership (excluding sale proceeds) less Partnership operating expenses,  only
to the  extent  the  limited  partners  have  received  an  annual  return of 9%
(calculated  quarterly) on their Adjusted Capital  Contribution,  as defined.  A
subordinated  real estate  disposition fee equal to three percent of the selling
price on the disposition of any real property  (subject to certain  limitations)
is payable  only after the limited  partners  have  received an amount  equal to
their Adjusted Capital Contribution and a cumulative,  non-compounded  return of
10% per annum on their Adjusted Capital Contribution.

         An affiliate of the General  Partner  incurs  expenses on behalf of the
Partnership for maintenance of the books and records and for computer,  investor
and  legal  services   performed  for  the   Partnership.   These  expenses  are
reimbursable in accordance with the Partnership  agreement and are less than the
amount  which  the  Partnership  would  have  paid to  independent  parties  for
comparable services.  The Partnership  reimbursed the affiliate $30,001 in 1996,
$29,301 in 1995 and $32,316 in 1994 for such expenses.

                                     Re:      Annual Portfolio Valuation
                                              FFCA/PIP 1986 Property Company

Gentleman:

         Pursuant to your request,  we have completed our analysis of properties
contained  in FFCA/PIP  1986  Property  Company.  The purpose of our analysis is
twofold:  to report on the physical  condition of the premises and determine the
lessee's compliance with the terms of the net leases agreement;  and to estimate
the market value of the various  properties  on a going concern basis subject to
existing  leases  encumbrances  for the purpose of determining  the value of the
leased fee interest.  The valuation  includes equipment lease income for most of
the  properties.  Our  opinion  of value  for the real  properties  will then be
adjusted for cash on hand,  notes  receivable,  net  receivables,  distributions
payable  and other  liabilities,  which  information  is provided by the General
Partner.  It should be noted that Cushman & Wakefield's opinion is restricted to
the market value of the  Partnership's  interest in the real properties;  we are
not  opining  as to  the  value  of  the  other  assets  or  liabilities  of the
Partnership.  Furthermore,  our opinion is subject to the attached Certification
and Assumptions and Limiting  Conditions  which have been retained in our files.
The date of value was December 31, 1996.

         According to the  Dictionary of Real Estate  Appraisal,  Third Edition,
published by the Appraisal Institute, market value may be defined as:

         "The most probable  price, as of a specified date, in cash, or in terms
equivalent to cash, or in other precisely revealed terms for which the specified
property rights should sell after  reasonable  exposure in a competitive  market
under all  conditions  requisite to a fair sale,  with the buyer and seller each
acting  prudently,  knowledgeably,  and for  self-interest,  and  assuming  that
neither is under undue duress."

         The real  properties  that are the subject of this  valuation have been
inspected by members of Cushman & Wakefield's  Valuation Advisory Services Group
operating under the supervision of the undersigned. Overall, the properties were
viewed to be in good physical condition and generally in compliance with the net
lease requirements.  Individual property data relating to our reinspections will
be delivered to you under separate cover and is part of our valuation.

         Our valuation  addresses the market value of the leased fee interest in
these  properties  as a going  concern and  considers  the various net leases in
effect.  The vast  majority of the data used for this analysis has been supplied
to us by FFCA  Management  Company,  LP., and we have relied upon their database
input , various reports and financial statements.  We have visited their offices
in  Scottsdale,  Arizona and have had  complete and  unrestricted  access to all
pertinent information,  and have assumed all such information to be accurate and
complete.  We have  verified  certain  data and resolved  any  discrepancies  by
reconciling    to   Cushman   &    Wakefield's    database.    The    individual
property-by-property  database  and cash flow  projections  have been  delivered
under separate cover and are a part of our valuation.

         For the purposes of our valuation,  we have determined that the highest
and best use of the real properties is their continued use as travel plazas. The
Income Approach to the value is relied upon as the primary  appraisal  technique
based upon the properties'  capabilities to generate net income and to be bought
and sold in the investment marketplace.  Neither the Cost Approach nor the Sales
Comparison Approach were considered directly

Mr. Morton H. Fleischer
General Partner                        -2-                      February 6, 1997

relevant  in the  analysis of a travel  plaza under long term lease.  Within the
Income  Approach,  the  discounted  cash  flow  method  was  employed,   whereby
anticipated  future  income  streams  over  a  10  year  holding  period  and  a
reversionary  value  (sale at the end of the tenth  year) are  discounted  via a
market derived rate to a net present value estimate utilizing a proprietary cash
flow model.  Anticipated rental income as well as deductions for management fees
and administrative expenses are analyzed over the holding period.  Consideration
has also been given to direct capitalization of estimated 1997 net income.

         FFCA/PIP 1986 Propery Company  contains 11 travel plaza properties that
are net leased to CFJ  Properties,  Flying J. Inc., or franchisees  that operate
Flying J Travel Plazas.  Gross proceeds  originally  raised by this  Partnership
amounted to  $51,687,000  (51,687  units @ $1,000 per unit).  As of December 31,
1996,  $2,050,000  of capital was  returned  to the  partners,  maintaining  the
adjusted  gross  proceeds  raised at  $49,637,000  or $960.34 per unit.  Of this
amount,  adjusted  net  proceeds  invested in the  properties  contained in this
Partnership  amounted to $37,069,375 after adjusting for organization  costs and
sales commissions. The Partnership was fully invested as of September 1988.

         Considering all of the above factors, it is our opinion that the market
value of the leased fee interest in the 11  properties  an a going concern basis
subject to existing lease encumbrances, as of December 31, 1996 was:

             FIFTY ONE MILLION NINE HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
                                   $51,920,000

         The  aggregate  market  value  of the  leased  fee  interest  in the 11
properties is $51,920,000 as adjusted by cash on hand, net receivables and notes
receivable  of $2,627,497 less  distributions  payable and other  liabilities of
$1,495,834  as  provided  by  the  General  Partner  resulting  in  a  total  of
$53,051,663.  This total as of December  31, 1996  represents  an 43.11  percent
increase above the adjusted net proceeds. Dividing the total value by the 51,687
outstanding units results in an indicated value per unit investment of $1,026.40
which  represents an increase of 6.88 percent from the adjusted unit  investment
of $960.34.

         The continued favorable performance of the Partnership, in our opinion,
is  directly  attributable  to  the  quality  of  management  and  the  numerous
safeguards built into the acquisition and management program.  Our due diligence
has  revealed  that when  problems  arise,  management  has acted  prudently  in
avoiding  defaults  and  delinquent  rent  payments,  working  effectively  with
franchisees and franchisors.

         We certify that neither  Cushman & Wakefield,  Inc. nor the undersigned
have any present or prospective interest in the Partnership's properties, and we
have no personal interest or bias with respect to the parties  involved.  To the
best of our  knowledge  and  belief,  the  facts  upon  which the  analysis  and
conclusions  were based are materially  true and correct.  No one other than the
undersigned  assisted by members of our staff who performed  inspections  of the
properties,  performed the analyses and reached the conclusions resulting in the
opinion expressed in this letter. Our fee for this assignment was not contingent
on any action or event resulting from the analysis,  opinions or conclusions in,
or the use of, this  analysis.  Our  analysis has been  prepared  subject to the
Departure  Provision of the Uniform  Standards of  Professional  Practice of the
Appraisal  Foundation and the Code of  Professional  Ethics and the Standards of
Professional  Appraisal  Practice of the  Appraisal  Institute.  The use of this
report is subject to the  requirements  of the Appraisal  Institute  relating to
review by its duly  authorized  representatives.  As of the date of this report,
the  undersigned  have completed the  requirements  of the continuing  education
program of the Appraisal Institute.

Respectfully submitted;
