                           (Unaudited)

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the  Company,  without audit, pursuant to  the  rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of

     operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent  with
     the  annual audited statements.  The adjustments made to these
     condensed   statements  consist  only  of   normal   recurring

     footnote    disclosures   normally   included   in   financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally  accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted  pursuant
     to  such  rules and regulations, although the Company believes
     that  the  disclosures  are adequate to make  the  information
     presented   not  misleading.   It  is  suggested  that   these
     condensed  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with
     the  financial  statements  and  the  summary  of  significant
     accounting  policies  and  notes  thereto  included   in   the

     minimum  subscriptions of 1,500 LLC Units ($1,500,000)  were
     accepted.  The offering terminated March 22, 2001  when  the
     extended  offering  period expired.   The  Company  received
     subscriptions for 13,349.321 LLC Units.  Under the terms  of
     the  Operating Agreement, the Limited Members  and  Managing

     respectively.  The Company shall continue until December 31,
     2048,  unless dissolved, terminated and liquidated prior  to
     that date.

     During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which  the
     Managing Members determine to distribute will be distributed
     97%  to  the Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members.
     Distributions to Limited Members will be made  pro  rata  by

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     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
     Managing Members.  Distributions to the Limited Members will
     be made pro rata by Units.

     For  tax  purposes,  profits  from  operations,  other  than
     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
     extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed to the Members for such
     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,
     or  other  disposition  of property  will  be  allocated  in
     accordance  with  the Operating Agreement  as  follows:  (i)
     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.

     The  Managing Members are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit capital balance.  Upon liquidation of the Company or
     withdrawal  by a Managing Member, the Managing Members  will
     contribute to the Company 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.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     On February 6, 2004, the Company purchased a 48% interest in
     a  Jared  Jewelry  store  in Madison Heights,  Michigan  for
     $1,948,038.   The  property is leased to  Sterling  Jewelers
     Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years
     and  annual rental payments of $149,808.  The purchase price
     and  annual rental payments shown are approximately 10% less
     than amounts reported prior to June 30, 2004.  As part of an
     agreement between the lessee and the property developer, the
     monthly  rent was reduced by approximately 10%  based  on  a
     final  accounting of the development costs.  As part of  the
     purchase  agreement between the property developer  and  the
     Company, the purchase price paid by the Company was  reduced
     by the same percentage so the rate of return realized by the
     Company  remains the same.  The remaining interests  in  the
     property were purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund  25  LLC
     and  AEI  Accredited Investor Fund 2002 Limited Partnership,
     affiliates of the Company.

(4)  Lease Acquisition Costs -

     The  Company paid a lease commission of $82,500 to the  real
     estate  broker who assisted the Company in locating the  new
     lessee  for  the former Razzoo's restaurant in San  Antonio,
     Texas.   The Company will amortize the commission using  the
     straight-line  method over the 10-year  term  of  the  Lease
     starting July 1, 2005.

(5)  Payable to AEI Fund Management, Inc. -

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating  functions for the Company.  The  payable  to  AEI
     Fund   Management  represents  the  balance  due  for  those
     services.    This  balance  is  non-interest   bearing   and
     unsecured  and  is  to  be  paid in  the  normal  course  of
     business.

(6)  Discontinued Operations -

     In  July 2003, the lessee of the Razzoo's restaurants in San
     Antonio, Texas and Alpharetta, Georgia notified the  Company
     that  it was experiencing financial difficulty stemming from
     lower  than expected sales and that it might not be able  to
     pay  future  rents.  During the summer of 2003,  the  lessee
     closed  the  restaurant in San Antonio.  In late  2003,  the
     lessee closed the restaurant in Alpharetta and said that  it
     no  longer intended to operate restaurants at the sites.  On
     December 5, 2003, the Company terminated the lease  for  the
     property  in San Antonio, effective December 31,  2003,  and
     was  prepared to commence a legal action against the  lessee
     and  the  majority shareholder of the lessee, who guaranteed
     the lease until December 19, 2003.  Before the Company filed
     its  legal action, the lessee filed suit against the Company
     with respect to the Company's lease termination.  The lessee
     paid  the  rent due for the property in San Antonio  through
     December 31, 2003.  Due to the lease termination, the lessee
     did not pay any rent for 2004.

                           (Continued)

(6)  Discontinued Operations - (Continued)

     The  parties  reached  an agreement, effective  November  1,
     2004,  to terminate their legal actions, terminate the lease
     for  the property in Alpharetta and return possession of the
     property  to  the Company.  Rents were current  through  the
     date of termination for the property in Alpharetta.  As part
     of  the  agreement the Company received a settlement payment
     of  $610,142,  of  which $288,040 were allocated  to  rental
     income,  representing rent for the property in  San  Antonio
     for  the  period from January 1, 2004 through the settlement
     date and $322,102 were allocated as reimbursement of certain
     property  management and legal expenses it incurred  related
     to  the two properties.  The Company listed the property for
     sale with a real estate broker in the Alpharetta area.   The
     Company  previously listed the property in San  Antonio  for
     sale  or  lease with a real estate broker in the San Antonio
     area.   While  the properties were vacant, the  Company  was
     responsible  for real estate taxes and other costs  required
     to maintain the properties.

     As  of  December  31, 2003, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions   in   the  area,  the  Company  determined   the
     properties were impaired in accordance with the requirements
     of  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  No.  144,
     Accounting  for  the  Impairment or Disposal  of  Long-Lived
     Assets.   As  a  result, in the fourth quarter  of  2003,  a
     charge to discontinued operations for real estate impairment
     of  $1,148,880  was  recognized  for  the  property  in  San
     Antonio, which was the difference between the book value  at
     December 31, 2003 of $3,198,880 and the estimated fair value
     of $2,050,000.  A charge to discontinued operations for real
     estate  impairment  of  $451,513  was  recognized  for   the
     property in Alpharetta, which was the difference between the
     book  value  at  December 31, 2003  of  $1,551,513  and  the
     estimated  fair  value  of  $1,100,000.   The  charges  were
     recorded  against  the  cost  of  the  land,  buildings  and
     equipment.   At  December  31,  2004,  the  properties  were
     classified as Real Estate Held for Sale.

     In  October 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with
     a  subsidiary of Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI) to lease the
     property in San Antonio.  The Lease Agreement has a  primary
     term  of  ten  years, which may be renewed for  up  to  four
     consecutive  terms of five years.  The annual rent  for  the
     primary  term  is  $165,000.  Under the  Lease,  DRI  had  a
     feasibility  period  of  a maximum of  150  days  to  pursue
     licenses,  permits  and  governmental  approvals   for   the
     contemplated  use of the property and to perform  other  due
     diligence  on the site.  On February 16, 2005, DRI completed
     its  feasibility work and the Lease became effective.  After
     the  effective  date, DRI is responsible  for  all  property
     expenses, except real estate taxes.  Pursuant to the  Lease,
     DRI  commenced paying rent and real estate taxes on June 16,
     2005,  which  was 120 days after the end of the  feasibility
     period.   During  this  120-day period,  DRI  remodeled  the
     building   and  converted  it  into  a  Smokey   Bones   BBQ
     restaurant.

     In  December 2004, the Company entered into an agreement  to
     sell the property in Alpharetta to an unrelated third party.
     On  March  29,  2005,  the  sale  closed  with  the  Company
     receiving net sale proceeds of $1,188,442, which resulted in
     a net gain of $88,442.

(6)  Discontinued Operations - (Continued)

     During  the  six  months ended June 30,  2004,  the  Company
     distributed  $323,232 of net sale proceeds,  generated  from
     property sales in 2003, to the Limited and Managing  Members
     as  part of their quarterly distributions, which represented
     a  return  of  capital of $24.06 per LLC Unit.  The  Company
     anticipates the remaining net sale proceeds will  either  be
     reinvested  in  additional property or  distributed  to  the
     Members in the future.

     The financial results for these properties are reflected  as
     Discontinued   Operations  in  the  accompanying   financial
     statements.   The following are the results of  discontinued
     operations for the periods ended June 30:

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various
"forward  looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of  federal
securities  laws  which  represent management's  expectations  or
beliefs  concerning future events, including statements regarding
anticipated  application of cash, expected  returns  from  rental
income,  growth  in revenue, taxation levels, the sufficiency  of
cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other
matters.  These, and other forward looking statements made by our
managers, must be evaluated in the context of a number of factors
that   may   affect  our  financial  condition  and  results   of
operations, including the following:

    Market and economic conditions which affect the value
    of the properties we own 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 members;

    resolution by our managers of conflicts with which they
    may be confronted;

    the success of our managers of locating properties with
    favorable risk return characteristics;


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

    the effect of tenant defaults; and

    the condition of the industries in which the tenants of
    properties owned by the Company operate.

The Application of Critical Accounting Policies

        The  preparation  of  the Company's financial  statements
requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that  may
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues  and
expenses,  and  related  disclosure  of  contingent  assets   and
liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on  an  ongoing
basis,  including  those related to the carrying  value  of  real
estate  and  the  allocation  by AEI  Fund  Management,  Inc.  of
expenses to the Company as opposed to other funds they manage.

        The Company purchases properties and records them in  the
financial statements at the lower of cost or estimated realizable
value.   The  Company  initially records the properties  at  cost
(including  capitalized acquisition expenses).   The  Company  is
required   to  periodically  evaluate  the  carrying   value   of
properties  to  determine  whether  their  realizable  value  has
declined.   For  properties the Company will  hold  and  operate,
management   determines  whether  impairment  has   occurred   by
comparing the property's probability-weighted cash flows  to  its
current carrying value.  For properties held for sale, management
determines  whether  impairment has  occurred  by  comparing  the
property's estimated fair value less cost to sell to its  current
carrying  value.   If  the carrying value  is  greater  than  the
realizable  value, an impairment loss is recorded to  reduce  the
carrying value of the property to its realizable value.  A change
in  these assumptions or analysis could cause material changes in
the carrying value of the properties.

       AEI Fund Management Inc. allocates expenses to each of the
funds  they manage primarily on the basis of the number of  hours
devoted  by  their employees to each fund's affairs.   They  also
allocate  expenses at the end of each month that are not directly
related to a fund's operations based upon the number of investors
in the fund and the fund's capitalization relative to other funds
they  manage.  The Company reimburses these expenses  subject  to
detailed limitations contained in the Operating Agreement.

        Management  of the Company has discussed the  development
and   selection  of  the  above  accounting  estimates  and   the
management  discussion  and analysis disclosures  regarding  them
with the managing member of the Company.

Results of Operations

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2005 and  2004,  the
Company  recognized rental income from continuing  operations  of
$260,702  and  $243,701, respectively.  In  2005,  rental  income
increased  due  to  additional rent received  from  one  property
acquisition in 2004 and rent increases on two properties.

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

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2005 and  2004,  the
Company  incurred  LLC  administration expenses  from  affiliated
parties   of   $70,488   and   $63,643,   respectively.     These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements  and correspondence to the Limited Members.   During
the  same  periods,  the Company incurred LLC administration  and
property  management expenses from unrelated parties  of  $12,586
and  $46,679,  respectively.   These  expenses  represent  direct
payments  to  third  parties for legal and  filing  fees,  direct
administrative costs, outside audit costs, taxes,  insurance  and
other  property costs.  These expenses were higher in 2004,  when
compared to 2005, as a result of state taxes paid by the  Company
in  2004  related  to  the  2003  sale  of  the  Johnny  Carino's
restaurant in Victoria, Texas.

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2005 and  2004,  the
Company   recognized  interest  income  of  $23,249  and  $7,196,
respectively.   In  2005, interest income increased  due  to  the
Company having more money invested in a money market account  due
to  property sales and money market interest rates were higher in
2005.

        In  accordance  with  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal  of
Long-Lived  Assets,  upon  complete disposal  of  a  property  or
classification of a property as Real Estate Held  for  Sale,  the
Company  includes the operating results and sale of the  property
in   discontinued   operations.    In   addition,   the   Company
reclassifies the prior periods operating results and any  partial
sales  of the property to discontinued operations.  For  the  six
months  ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized  income  from
discontinued operations of $41,178, representing gain on disposal
of  real estate of $88,442, which was partially offset by  rental
income less property management expenses of $47,264.  For the six
months  ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized a  loss  from
discontinued  operations of $155,582, representing rental  income
less property management expenses.

        In  July 2003, the lessee of the Razzoo's restaurants  in
San  Antonio, Texas and Alpharetta, Georgia notified the  Company
that it was experiencing financial difficulty stemming from lower
than  expected sales and that it might not be able to pay  future
rents.   During  the  summer  of  2003,  the  lessee  closed  the
restaurant  in San Antonio.  In late 2003, the lessee closed  the
restaurant  in Alpharetta and said that it no longer intended  to
operate  restaurants  at the sites.  On  December  5,  2003,  the
Company  terminated the lease for the property  in  San  Antonio,
effective December 31, 2003, and was prepared to commence a legal
action  against  the lessee and the majority shareholder  of  the
lessee, who guaranteed the lease until December 19, 2003.  Before
the Company filed its legal action, the lessee filed suit against
the Company with respect to the Company's lease termination.  The
lessee  paid the rent due for the property in San Antonio through
December 31, 2003.  Due to the lease termination, the lessee  did
not pay any rent for 2004.

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

        The  parties reached an agreement, effective November  1,
2004,  to terminate their legal actions, terminate the lease  for
the  property in Alpharetta and return possession of the property
to   the  Company.   Rents  were  current  through  the  date  of
termination  for  the property in Alpharetta.   As  part  of  the
agreement  the Company received a settlement payment of $610,142,
of  which  $288,040 were allocated to rental income, representing
rent  for the property in San Antonio for the period from January
1,  2004  through the settlement date and $322,102 were allocated
as   reimbursement  of  certain  property  management  and  legal
expenses it incurred related to the two properties.  Following an
analysis  of  the  lessee's business at these locations  and  its
financial condition, and its intent to no longer operate at these
sites,  the Company determined the best course of action  was  to
negotiate a settlement with the lessee and take possession of the
property  in  Alpharetta.  With possession of the  property,  the
Company  could  move  forward  with  selling  the  property   and
reinvesting  the  proceeds from the sale in  replacement  income-
producing  property.  The Company listed the  property  for  sale
with  a  real estate broker in the Alpharetta area.  The  Company
previously listed the property in San Antonio for sale  or  lease
with  a  real estate broker in the San Antonio area.   While  the
properties  were  vacant, the Company was  responsible  for  real
estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the properties.

        As  of  December 31, 2003, based on an analysis of market
conditions  in  the area, the Company determined  the  properties
were impaired in accordance with the requirements of Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  144,  Accounting  for  the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  As a result, in the
fourth  quarter of 2003, a charge to discontinued operations  for
real  estate  impairment  of $1,148,880 was  recognized  for  the
property  in  San Antonio, which was the difference  between  the
book  value at December 31, 2003 of $3,198,880 and the  estimated
fair  value  of $2,050,000.  A charge to discontinued  operations
for  real  estate impairment of $451,513 was recognized  for  the
property in Alpharetta, which was the difference between the book
value  at December 31, 2003 of $1,551,513 and the estimated  fair
value of $1,100,000.  The charges were recorded against the  cost
of  the land, buildings and equipment.  At December 31, 2004, the
properties were classified as Real Estate Held for Sale.

        In  October  2004, the Company entered into an  agreement
with a subsidiary of Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI) to lease  the
property in San Antonio.  The Lease Agreement has a primary  term
of  ten  years,  which may be renewed for up to four  consecutive
terms  of  five years.  The annual rent for the primary  term  is
$165,000.   Under the Lease, DRI had a feasibility  period  of  a
maximum  of 150 days to pursue licenses, permits and governmental
approvals for the contemplated use of the property and to perform
other  due  diligence  on the site.  On February  16,  2005,  DRI
completed  its  feasibility work and the Lease became  effective.
After  the  effective date, DRI is responsible for  all  property
expenses,  except real estate taxes.  Pursuant to the Lease,  DRI
commenced  paying rent and real estate taxes on  June  16,  2005,
which  was  120  days  after the end of the  feasibility  period.
During  this  120-day  period, DRI  remodeled  the  building  and
converted it into a Smokey Bones BBQ restaurant.  Now that DRI is
paying  rent, the Company intends to sell the property and invest
the  proceeds  from  the  sale  in  replacement  income-producing
property.

       In December 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to
sell the property in Alpharetta to an unrelated third party.   On
March  29,  2005, the sale closed with the Company receiving  net
sale  proceeds  of $1,188,442, which resulted in a  net  gain  of
$88,442.

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

        In  2003, the Company received $342,225 of rental  income
from  the  Razzoo's  restaurant  in  San  Antonio,  Texas,  which
represented  a  significant percentage  of  the  Company's  total
rental  income for the year.  During 2004, the loss of rent  from
the  property and the real estate taxes and other costs  required
to  maintain the property resulted in a significant reduction  in
the  Company's  Net Cash Flow available for distribution.   As  a
result,  effective  April  1,  2004,  the  Company  reduced   its
distribution rate from 7% to 6% of the Limited Members'  Adjusted
Capital  Contributions.  Effective July 1, 2004, the distribution
rate  was reduced further to 5%.  Until the Razzoo's transactions
discussed  above  are completed, the loss of  rent  and  property
expenses  will result in a significant reduction in the Company's
Net  Cash Flow available for distribution.  The Company plans  to
use  the  settlement proceeds and a portion of its cash  reserve,
which consists of profits generated from the sale of property  in
2003, to maintain the current level of distributions.

        Inflation  has  had  a  minimal  effect  on  income  from
operations.   Leases  may contain rent increases,  based  on  the
increase  in  the  Consumer Price Index over a specified  period,
which  will result in an increase in rental income over the  term
of  the  leases.   In addition, leases may contain  rent  clauses
which  entitle the Company to receive additional rent  in  future
years if gross receipts for the property exceed certain specified
amounts.   Increases  in sales volumes of  the  tenants,  due  to
inflation  and  real sales growth, may result in an  increase  in
rental  income over the term of the leases.  Inflation  also  may
cause the real estate to appreciate in value.  However, inflation
and  changing prices may have an adverse impact on the  operating
margins  of  the  properties' tenants, which could  impair  their
ability  to  pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net  Cash  Flow
available for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company's
cash  balances  increased $959,613 as a result of cash  generated
from  the  sale  of  property,  which  was  partially  offset  by
distributions  paid to the Members in excess  of  cash  generated
from operating activities.  During the six months ended June  30,
2004,  the  Company's  cash balances decreased  $2,582,623  as  a
result of cash used to purchase property, cash used for operating
activities and distributions paid to the Members.

        Net  cash provided by operating activities increased from
($170,308)  in 2004 to $202,599 provided by operating  activities
in  2005  as  a  result of a decrease in LLC  administration  and
property  management expenses in 2005 and net timing  differences
in the collection of payments from the lessees and the payment of
expenses,  which  were partially offset by a  decrease  in  total
rental and interest income in 2005.

        The  major  components of the Company's  cash  flow  from
investing activities are investments in real estate and  proceeds
from  the sale of real estate.  During the six months ended  June
30,  2004,  the  Company expended $1,942,782 to  invest  in  real
properties  (inclusive of acquisition expenses)  as  the  Company
reinvested  cash generated from property sales in  2003.   During
the  six  months ended June 30, 2005, the Company generated  cash
flow  from  the sale of real estate of $1,188,442.  In  addition,
the Company paid a lease commission of $82,500 to the real estate
broker  who  assisted the Company in locating the new lessee  for
the  former  Razzoo's  restaurant in San  Antonio,  Texas.   This
commission  reduced cash flow from investing activities  for  the
six months ended June 30, 2005.

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

        On February 6, 2004, the Company purchased a 48% interest
in  a  Jared  Jewelry  store  in Madison  Heights,  Michigan  for
$1,948,038.   The  property is leased to Sterling  Jewelers  Inc.
under  a  Lease  Agreement with a primary term of  20  years  and
annual  rental  payments  of $149,808.  The  purchase  price  and
annual  rental  payments shown are approximately  10%  less  than
amounts reported prior to June 30, 2004.  As part of an agreement
between  the lessee and the property developer, the monthly  rent
was  reduced by approximately 10% based on a final accounting  of
the development costs.  As part of the purchase agreement between
the  property developer and the Company, the purchase price  paid
by  the Company was reduced by the same percentage so the rate of
return  realized by the Company remains the same.  The  remaining
interests in the property were purchased by AEI Income  &  Growth
Fund  25  LLC  and  AEI  Accredited Investor  Fund  2002  Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Company.

        The  Company's  primary  use of  cash  flow,  other  than
investment   in  real  estate,  is  distribution  and  redemption
payments  to Members.  The Company declares its regular quarterly
distributions  before  the  end of  each  quarter  and  pays  the
distribution in the first ten days after the end of each quarter.
The  Company attempts to maintain a stable distribution rate from
quarter  to  quarter.  Redemption payments are paid to  redeeming
Members on a semi-annual basis.

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2005 and  2004,  the
Company   declared  distributions  of  $344,054   and   $425,020,
respectively.  Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, distributions
of Net Cash Flow were allocated 97% to the Limited Members and 3%
to  the Managing Members.  Distributions of Net Proceeds of  Sale
were  allocated 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing
Members.   The Limited Members received distributions of $333,732
and  $418,734 and the Managing Members received distributions  of
$10,322 and $6,286 for the periods, respectively.

        During  the  six months ended June 30, 2004, the  Company
distributed  $323,232  of  net  sale  proceeds,  generated   from
property  sales in 2003, to the Limited and Managing  Members  as
part of their quarterly distributions, which represented a return
of  capital of $24.06 per LLC Unit.  The Company anticipates  the
remaining  net  sale  proceeds  will  either  be  reinvested   in
additional property or distributed to the Members in the future.

        The  Company may acquire Units from Limited  Members  who
have  tendered  their Units to the Company.  Such  Units  may  be
acquired  at  a discount.  The Company will not be  obligated  to
purchase  in  any year any number of Units that, when  aggregated
with  all  other transfers of Units that have occurred since  the
beginning   of  the  same  calendar  year  (excluding   Permitted
Transfers as defined in the Operating Agreement), would exceed 2%
of  the  total number of Units outstanding on January 1  of  such
year.   In  no  event shall the Company be obligated to  purchase
Units  if,  in  the sole discretion of the Managing Member,  such
purchase would impair the capital or operation of the Company.

        On April 1, 2005, one Limited Member redeemed a total  of
7.12 Units for $4,650 in accordance with the Operating Agreement.
The  Company  acquired  these Units  using  Net  Cash  Flow  from
operations.   In  prior  years, a total of  six  Limited  Members
redeemed  51.25 Units for $35,623.  The redemptions increase  the
remaining Limited Member's ownership interest in the Company.  As
a  result  of  these  redemption payments  and  pursuant  to  the
Operating  Agreement, the Managing Members received distributions
of $143 in 2005.


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

       The continuing rent payments from the properties, together
with  cash  generated from property sales, should be adequate  to
fund  continuing distributions and meet other Company obligations
on both a short-term and long-term basis.

ITEM 3.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

       (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

        Under  the  supervision  and with  the  participation  of

materially affect, the Company's internal control over  financial
reporting.
