     by   the  LLC,  without  audit,  pursuant  to  the  rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of

     presented   not  misleading.   It  is  suggested  that   these
     condensed  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of properties which the Managing Members determine
     to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
     be  paid  in  the following manner: (i) first,  99%  to  the
     Limited  Members  and 1% to the Managing Members  until  the
     Limited  Members  receive  an amount  equal  to:  (a)  their
     Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 7%
     of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
     but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
     from  Net  Cash  Flow; (ii) any remaining  balance  will  be
     distributed  90%  to  the Limited Members  and  10%  to  the

     profits  attributable  to  the  sale,  exchange,  financing,
     refinancing  or  other  disposition  of  property,  will  be
     allocated  first  in the same ratio in  which,  and  to  the

     year.  Any additional profits will be allocated in the  same
     ratio  as  the  last dollar of Net Cash Flow is distributed.
     Net  losses  from operations will be allocated  99%  to  the
     Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,

     first,  to  those  Members with deficit  balances  in  their
     capital  accounts  in an amount equal to  the  sum  of  such
     deficit  balances; (ii) second, 99% to the  Limited  Members
     and  1%  to the Managing Members until the aggregate balance
     in  the Limited Members' capital accounts equals the sum  of
     the Limited Members' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus  an
     amount  equal  to 7% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  allocated;  (iii)  third,  the  balance  of  any
     remaining  gain  will then be allocated 90% to  the  Limited
     Members  and  10% to the Managing Members.  Losses  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Members and 2% to the  Managing
     Members.

     withdrawal  by a Managing Member, the Managing Members  will
     contribute to the LLC an amount equal to the lesser  of  the
     deficit balances in their capital accounts or 1.01%  of  the
     total capital contributions of the Limited Members over  the
     amount previously contributed by the Managing Members.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the  LLC
recognized  rental income of $403,349 and $49,093,  respectively.
During  the  same  periods, the LLC earned $95,780  and  $79,094,
respectively,  in  investment income from  subscription  proceeds
which were invested in a short-term money market account and from
development advances.  This investment income constituted 19% and
62%,  respectively,  of total income.  The  percentage  of  total
income  represented by investment income declines as subscription
proceeds are invested in properties.

        During  the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  the
LLC  paid  LLC administration expenses to affiliated  parties  of
$90,038 and $71,757, respectively.  These administration expenses
include  initial start-up costs and expenses associated with  the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements  and correspondence to the Limited Members.   During
the  same  periods,  the  LLC  incurred  LLC  administration  and
property  management expenses from unrelated parties  of  $35,198
and   $6,275,  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.

        The  LLC  distributes all of its net  income  during  the
offering  and  acquisition  phases,  and  if  net  income   after
deductions  for  depreciation  is  not  sufficient  to  fund  the
distributions, the LLC may distribute other available  cash  that
constitutes capital for accounting purposes.

        As of June 30, 2001, the LLC's cash distribution rate was
7.0%   on   an  annualized  basis.   Pursuant  to  the  Operating
Agreement, distributions of Net Cash Flow were allocated  97%  to
the Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members.

       Since the LLC has only recently purchased its real estate,
inflation  has  had a minimal effect on income  from  operations.
The Leases contain cost of living increases which will result  in
an  increase  in  rental  income over the  term  of  the  Leases.
Inflation  also may cause the LLC'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  LLC's  Net  Cash  Flow  available  for
distributions.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The  LLC's primary sources of cash are proceeds from  the
sale of Units, investment income, rental income and proceeds from
the sale of property.  Its primary uses of cash are investment in
real  properties, payment of expenses involved  in  the  sale  of
Units, the organization of the LLC, the management of properties,
the administration of the LLC, and the payment of distributions.

        The Operating Agreement requires that no more than 15% of
the  proceeds  from  the  sale of Units be  applied  to  expenses
involved  in the sale of Units (including Commissions)  and  that
such expenses, together with acquisition expenses, not exceed 20%
of   the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  Units.   To  the  extent
organization and offering expenses actually incurred  exceed  15%
of proceeds, they are borne by the Managing Members.

        Before the acquisition of all such properties, cash  flow
from  operating activities is not significant.  Net income, after
adjustment for depreciation, is lower during the first few  years
of  operations as administrative expenses remain high and a large
amount of the LLC's assets remain invested on a short-term  basis
in  lower-yielding cash equivalents.  Net income will become  the
largest component of cash flow from operating activities and  the
largest  component  of  cash flow after  the  completion  of  the
acquisition phase.

        The  Operating Agreement requires that all proceeds  from
the  sale  of  Units be invested or committed  to  investment  in
properties  by  the  later of two years after  the  date  of  the
Prospectus or six months after termination of the offer and  sale
of Units.  While the LLC is purchasing properties, cash flow from
investing  activities (investment in real property)  will  remain
negative  and  will constitute the principal  use  of  the  LLC's
available  cash  flow.  Until capital is invested in  properties,
the LLC will remain extremely liquid.

        On  February 25, 2000, the LLC purchased a parcel of land
in   Kettering,  Ohio  for  $459,500.   The  land  is  leased  to
Tumbleweed,  Inc. (TWI) under a Lease Agreement  with  a  primary
term   of  15  years  and  annual  rental  payments  of  $39,058.

$45,376.  Simultaneously with the purchase of the land,  the  LLC
entered  into a Development Financing Agreement under  which  the

Victoria,  Texas  for  $409,500.  The  land  is  leased  to  Kona

interests in the property are owned by AEI Real Estate Fund  85-A
Limited  Partnership,  AEI Net Lease  Income  &  Growth  Fund  XX
Limited  Partnership, and AEI Income & Growth  Fund  XXI  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the LLC.

        During the offering of Units, the LLC's primary source of
cash  flow is from the sale of LLC Units.  The LLC commenced  its
offering  of  LLC  Units  to the public  through  a  registration
statement which became effective March 23, 1999.  From March  23,
1999  to  September  30, 1999, the minimum number  of  LLC  Units
(1,500) needed to form the LLC were sold.  On September 30, 1999,
a total of 1,868.616 Units ($1,868,616) were transferred into the
LLC.   The  offering terminated March 22, 2001 when the  extended
offering  period  expired.   The LLC received  subscriptions  for
13,349.321   Limited   Membership  Units   ($13,349,321).    From
subscription proceeds, the LLC paid organization and  syndication
costs (which constitute a reduction of capital) of $2,002,125.

        After  completion  of the acquisition  phase,  the  LLC's
primary  use of cash flow is distribution and redemption payments
to Members.  The LLC 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 LLC attempts  to
maintain a stable distribution rate from quarter to quarter.

        Beginning in 2002, the LLC may acquire Units from Limited
Members who have tendered their Units to the LLC.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The LLC is not obligated to purchase
in  any  year more than 2% of the number of Units outstanding  at
the  beginning  of  the  year.  In no  event  shall  the  LLC  be
obligated  to  purchase Units if, in the sole discretion  of  the
Managing  Member,  such  purchase would  impair  the  capital  or
operation of the LLC.

        Until  capital is invested in properties,  the  LLC  will
remain   extremely   liquid.   After   completion   of   property
acquisitions, the LLC will attempt to maintain a cash reserve  of
only   approximately  1%  of  subscription   proceeds.    Because
properties  are  purchased for cash and leased  under  triple-net
leases,   this   is   considered   adequate   to   satisfy   most
contingencies.

    of the properties the LLC owns and the cash from rental
    income such properties generate;

    the  federal  income tax consequences of rental  income,
    deductions,  gain  on  sales and other  items  and  the
    affects of these consequences for investors;

    resolution  by  the Managing Members of  conflicts  with
    which they may be confronted;

    the   success   of  the  Managing  Member  of   locating

    properties owned by the LLC operate.
