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" or
"Registrant") 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.  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.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates the Partnership could
possibly experience a normal decline of 5% to 7% a year.  There are no
current plans to perform any workovers in the future.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $89,119 from $107,885 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 17%. 
The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 26%, or $4.94 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $21,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 84%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to 76% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 28%, or $ .75 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $7,300 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $13,900.  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 1,200 barrels or 28% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $28,900 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 2,300 mcf or 24% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,500 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $33,400.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $61,776 from $73,533 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 16%.  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 11% lower, or
    approximately $4,500 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

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 3%
    or approximately $300 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $15,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1997 from $22,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 32%.  Depletion is calculated using the units of 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.  Contributing factors to
    the decline in depletion expense between the comparative periods were the
    decline in oil and gas revenue and the increase in the price of oil used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared
    to 1996.

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 $63,300 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $60,300 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from
operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $71,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to $60,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 
The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $71,000 of
which $63,190 was distributed to the investor partners and $7,810 to the
Managing General Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners
during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $44.91.  Total distributions
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $60,000 of which $53,400 was
distributed to the investor partners and $6,600 to the Managing General
Partner.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 was $37.95.  

The source for the 1997 distributions of $71,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $63,300, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The source for the 1996 distributions of $60,000
was oil and gas operations of approximately $60,300, resulting in excess cash
for contingencies or subsequent distributions.  

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$841,215 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1997, $749,057 or
$532.38 per investor partner unit has been distributed to the investor
partners, representing a 53% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $44,900 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.
