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

General

Southwest Developmental Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P. (the Partnership) was
organized as a Delaware limited partnership on May 5, 1992.  The offering of
limited and general partner interests began August 11, 1992 as part of a
shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Developmental Drilling
Program 1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met
on December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited and general partner
interests concluding December 31, 1992, with total investor partner
contributions of $1,407,000, representing 1,407 interests ($1,000 per
interest).  The Managing General Partner made a contribution to the capital
of the Partnership at the conclusion of the offering period in an amount
equal to 1% of its net capital contributions.  The Managing General Partner
contribution was $12,030, for total capital contributions of $1,419,030.

The Partnership was formed to engage primarily in the business of drilling
developmental and exploratory wells, to produce and market crude oil and
natural gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net proceeds
from operations to the general and limited partners and to the extent
necessary, acquire leases which contain drilling prospects.  Net revenues
will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to the extent
that performance of remedial work is needed to improve a well's producing
capabilities.  The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically
recoverable.

The Partnership has expended its capital and acquired leasehold interests and
completed drilling operations.  Increases or decreases in Partnership
revenues and, therefore, distributions to partners will depend primarily on
changes in the prices received for production, changes in volumes of
production sold, increases and decreases in lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farm-out
arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells.  Since wells
deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year
to year.

Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1995 by 16%, or $3.02 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $16,000 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 75%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to 76% during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 12%, or $.30 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $3,500 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $19,500.  The market price for
    oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade, and
    management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
    foreseeable future.

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 1,400 barrels or 26% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $30,200 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 2,100 mcf or 18% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $6,000 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $36,200.  The decrease is primarily a result of an
    anticipated sharp decline on one well following a successful workover.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $70,733 from $80,768 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 12%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs, general and administrative
expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 6% lower, or
    approximately $2,600 less during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 11%
    or approximately $500 during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared
    to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $23,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1996 from $30,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 23%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  

    Two factors that attributed to the decline in depletion expense between
    the comparative periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas
    used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as
    compared to 1995 and the decrease in oil and gas revenue.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $219,746 from $262,226
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of
16%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1995 by 12%, or $2.20 per barrel, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $24,400 in revenues.  Oil sales represented
    75% of the total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June 30,
    1996 as compared to 77% during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 3%, or $.09 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $2,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $26,400.  The market price for
    oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade, and
    management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
    foreseeable future.

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 2,900 barrels or 26% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $58,800 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 3,100 mcf or 14% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,700 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $67,500.  The decrease is primarily a result of an
    anticipated sharp decline on one well following a successful workover.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $144,265 from $170,332 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 15%.  The
decrease is the result of a decline in lease operating costs and depletion
expense, offset by higher general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 10% lower, or
    approximately $9,100 less during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease is a result
    of workover costs incurred in 1995.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
    engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs increased 1%
    or approximately $100 during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $45,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1996 from $62,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents a
    decrease of 27%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
    of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
    total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
    Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.  

    Two factors that attributed to the decline in depletion expense between
    the comparative periods were the increase in the price of oil and gas
    used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1996 as
    compared to 1995 and the decrease in oil and gas revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $129,400 in
the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $150,500 in
the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The primary source of the 1996 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were none in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $10,600 in the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $120,500 in the
six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $133,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $120,500
of which $107,245 was distributed to the investor partners and $13,255 to the
Managing General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $76.22.  Total distributions
during the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $133,000 of which $118,370 was
distributed to the investor partners and $14,630 to the Managing General
Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during the six
months ended June 30, 1995 was $84.13.  

The source for the 1996 distributions of $120,500 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $129,400, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $133,000
were oil and gas operations of approximately $150,500 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of $1,500, offset by the addition to oil and gas properties of
approximately $12,500, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$640,715 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1996, $570,612 or
$405.55 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the investor
partners, representing a 41% return of the capital contributed.

As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $69,500 in working
capital.  The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations are adequate
to meet the needs of the Partnership.
