                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          JUNE 30, 2000

                           (Unaudited)

(1)  The  condensed  statements included herein have been  prepared
     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and
     reflect   all  adjustments  which  are,  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  necessary to a fair statement of the  results  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
     adjustments.   Certain information, accounting  policies,  and
     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  Partnership
     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
     Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.

     properties   to   operating  tenants.    The   Partnership's
     operations  are  managed by AEI Fund  Management  XXI,  Inc.
     (AFM), the Managing General Partner.  Robert P. Johnson, the
     President  and  sole  shareholder  of  AFM,  serves  as  the
     Individual General Partner and an affiliate of AFM, AEI Fund
     Management,  Inc.  (AEI), performs  the  administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.

     The   terms   of  the  Partnership  offering  call   for   a
     subscription  price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership  Unit,
     payable   on  acceptance  of  the  offer.   The  Partnership
     commenced   operations  on  April  14,  1995  when   minimum
     subscriptions    of   1,500   Limited   Partnership    Units
     ($1,500,000)  were  accepted.   On  January  31,  1997,  the

     determine  to  distribute will be  distributed  90%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided,
     however,  that  such distributions to the  General  Partners
     will be subordinated to the Limited Partners first receiving
     an annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash Flow equal
     to  10%  of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as defined,
     and,  provided  further, that in no event will  the  General
     Partners  receive  less than 1% of such Net  Cash  Flow  per
     annum.   Distributions to Limited Partners will be made  pro
     rata by Units.

(2)  Organization - (Continued)

     Any  Net  Proceeds  of Sale, as defined, from  the  sale  or
     financing of properties which the General Partners determine
     to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves,
     be  paid  in  the following manner: (i) first,  99%  to  the
     Limited  Partners and 1% to the General Partners  until  the
     Limited  Partners  receive an amount  equal  to:  (a)  their
     Adjusted  Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount  equal  to
     10%  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 Partners and 10%  to
     the General Partners.  Distributions to the Limited Partners
     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  Partners  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 Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

     For  tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
     or  other  disposition  of property  will  be  allocated  in
     accordance  with the Partnership Agreement as  follows:  (i)
     first,  to  those  partners with deficit balances  in  their
     capital  accounts  in an amount equal to  the  sum  of  such
     deficit  balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited  Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the aggregate balance
     in  the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the sum of
     the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an
     amount  equal to 10% 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
     Partners  and 10% to the General Partners.  Losses  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to the  General
     Partners.

     The  General Partners are not required to currently  fund  a
     deficit   capital   balance.   Upon   liquidation   of   the
     Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the  General
     Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount  equal
     to  the  lesser  of  the deficit balances in  their  capital
     accounts  or  1%  of  total Limited  Partners'  and  General
     Partners' capital contributions.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate -

     On  August  2,  2000, the Media Play store was  sold  to  an
     unrelated  third party for $2,500,000.  The  sale  agreement
     required  $500,000  in  cash and a $2,000,000  contract  for
     deed,  which  bears interest at 9%.  The contract  for  deed
     assisted  the  buyer  in closing on the property,  prior  to
     obtaining  long-term financing, and is due  on  December  1,
     2000.  The Partnership's share of the net sales proceeds  is
     approximately  $817,000, which will  result  in  a  gain  of
     approximately $126,000.

     During   the  third  and  fourth  quarters  of   1999,   the
     Partnership  sold  85.0382% of its interest  in  the  Arby's
     restaurant in four separate transactions to unrelated  third
     parties.   The Partnership received total net sale  proceeds
     of  $881,682 which resulted in a total net gain of $220,469.
     The  total cost and related accumulated depreciation of  the
     interest sold was $731,056 and $69,843, respectively.

     On October 26, 1999, the Partnership sold the Caribou Coffee
     store to an unrelated third party.  The Partnership received
     net  sale  proceeds of $1,553,867, which resulted in  a  net
     gain of $301,764.  At the time of sale, the cost and related
     accumulated depreciation of the property was $1,310,597  and
     $58,494, respectively.

     During  the  first  six  months  of  2000,  the  Partnership
     distributed $55,577 of the net sale proceeds to the  Limited
     and  General  Partners  as part of their  regular  quarterly
     distributions which represented a return of capital of $2.34
     per  Limited  Partnership  Unit.   The  remaining  net  sale
     proceeds will either be reinvested in additional property or
     distributed to the Partners in the future.

     On August 28, 1998, the Partnership purchased a 25% interest
     in  a parcel of land in Centerville, Ohio for $462,747.  The
     land is leased to Americana Dining Corporation (ADC) under a
     Lease  Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and  annual
     rental  payments of $32,392.  Effective December  25,  1998,
     the  annual  rent was increased to $48,588.   Simultaneously
     with  the purchase of the land, the Partnership entered into
     a   Development   Financing  Agreement   under   which   the
     Partnership advanced funds to ADC for the construction of  a
     Champps  Americana restaurant on the site.   Initially,  the
     Partnership charged interest on the advances at  a  rate  of
     7%.   Effective  December 25, 1998, the  interest  rate  was
     increased  to  10.5%.   On  January  27,  1999,  after   the
     development  was completed, the Lease Agreement was  amended
     to   require  annual  rental  payments  of  $101,365.    The
     Partnership's   share  of  the  total   acquisition   costs,
     including the cost of the land, was $984,426.  The remaining
     interests in the Fund property are owned by AEI Real  Estate
     Fund  XVII  Limited Partnership, AEI Real Estate Fund  XVIII
     Limited  Partnership  and  AEI Income  &  Growth  Fund  XXII
     Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     On March 8, 2000, the Partnership purchased a parcel of land
     in  Fort Wayne, Indiana for $549,000.  The land is leased to
     Tumbleweed,  Inc.  (TWI)  under a  Lease  Agreement  with  a
     primary  term  of  15  years and annual rental  payments  of
     $48,038.  Simultaneously with the purchase of the land,  the
     Partnership  entered into a Development Financing  Agreement
     under  which the Partnership will advance funds to  TWI  for
     the  construction of a Tumbleweed restaurant  on  the  site.
     Through June 30, 2000, the Partnership had advanced $492,293
     for  the  construction  of  the  property  and  is  charging
     interest  on  the  advances at a rate of 8.75%.   The  total
     purchase  price,  including the cost of the  land,  will  be
     approximately   $1,460,000.   After  the   construction   is
     complete,  the  Lease Agreement will be amended  to  require
     annual rental payments of approximately $144,000.

     The Partnership has incurred net costs of $6,155 relating to
     the  review  of potential property acquisitions  which  have
     been   capitalized  and  will  be  allocated  to  properties
     acquired in future periods.

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

     AEI  Fund  Management, Inc. performs the administrative  and
     operating functions for the Partnership.  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.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the  six  months ended June 30, 2000 and  1999,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $854,427  and  $954,814,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $55,599 and $6,601, respectively.  In  2000,
rental  income decreased mainly as a result of property sales  in
1999.   This  decrease in rental income was partially  offset  by
additional rent received from one property acquisition  in  2000,
rent  increases  on  three  properties  and  by  an  increase  in
investment  income  earned  on the sale  proceeds  prior  to  the
purchase of additional property.

        On  August 2, 2000, the Media Play store was sold  to  an
unrelated   third  party  for  $2,500,000.   The  sale  agreement
required  $500,000  in cash and a $2,000,000 contract  for  deed,
which  bears interest at 9%.  The contract for deed assisted  the
buyer  in  closing on the property, prior to obtaining  long-term
financing,  and  is  due on December 1, 2000.  The  Partnership's
share  of the net sales proceeds is approximately $817,000, which
will result in a gain of approximately $126,000.


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

        During  the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated parties of $131,233 and $117,977, respectively.  These
administration  expenses  include  costs  associated   with   the
management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners.   During
the   same   periods,   the  Partnership   incurred   Partnership
administration  and property management expenses  from  unrelated
parties  of  $46,491 and $44,276, 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.

        As  of June 30, 2000, the Partnership's cash distribution
rate  was 6.5% on an annualized basis.  Distributions of Net Cash
Flow  to  the  General Partners were subordinated to the  Limited
Partners as required in the Partnership Agreement.  As a  result,
99%  of  distributions  and  income  were  allocated  to  Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

        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 Partnership'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 Partnership's Net Cash Flow available
for distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During   the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000,   the
Partnership's cash balances decreased $1,003,182 as a  result  of
cash  used  to purchase property.  Net cash provided by operating
activities  increased from $797,070 in 1999 to $817,842  in  2000
mainly as a result of net timing differences in the collection of
payments from the lessees and the payment of expenses, which were
partially  offset  by a decrease in income  and  an  increase  in
expenses in 2000.

        The  major components of the Partnership'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,  2000  and  1999,  the  Partnership expended  $1,033,144  and
$221,884,  respectively, to invest in real properties  (inclusive
of  acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested the  cash
generated from property sales.

        During  the  third  and  fourth  quarters  of  1999,  the
Partnership  sold  85.0382%  of  its  interest  in   the   Arby's
restaurant  in  four  separate transactions  to  unrelated  third
parties.   The  Partnership received total net sale  proceeds  of
$881,682  which  resulted in a total net gain of  $220,469.   The
total  cost and related accumulated depreciation of the  interest
sold was $731,056 and $69,843, respectively.

        On  October  26, 1999, the Partnership sold  the  Caribou
Coffee  store  to  an  unrelated third  party.   The  Partnership
received net sale proceeds of $1,553,867, which resulted in a net
gain  of  $301,764.  At the time of sale, the  cost  and  related
accumulated  depreciation  of  the property  was  $1,310,597  and
$58,494, respectively.

        During  the  first  six months of 2000,  the  Partnership
distributed  $55,577 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited  and
General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions
which  represented  a  return  of capital  of  2.34  per  Limited
Partnership Unit.


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

        On  August  28,  1998, the Partnership  purchased  a  25%
interest  in a parcel of land in Centerville, Ohio for  $462,747.
The land is leased to Americana Dining Corporation (ADC) under  a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments  of  $32,392.  Effective December 25, 1998,  the  annual
rent  was increased to $48,588.  Simultaneously with the purchase
of the land, the Partnership entered into a Development Financing
Agreement under which the Partnership advanced funds to  ADC  for
the  construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on the  site.
Initially, the Partnership charged interest on the advances at  a
rate  of 7%.  Effective December 25, 1998, the interest rate  was
increased  to 10.5%.  On January 27, 1999, after the  development
was  completed, the Lease Agreement was amended to require annual
rental  payments  of $101,365.  The Partnership's  share  of  the
total  acquisition costs, including the cost  of  the  land,  was
$984,426.  The remaining interests in the Fund property are owned
by AEI Real Estate Fund XVII Limited Partnership, AEI Real Estate
Fund  XVIII Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII
Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.

        On  March 8, 2000, the Partnership purchased a parcel  of
land in Fort Wayne, Indiana for $549,000.  The land is leased  to
Tumbleweed,  Inc. (TWI) under a Lease Agreement  with  a  primary
term   of  15  years  and  annual  rental  payments  of  $48,038.
Simultaneously  with  the purchase of the land,  the  Partnership
entered  into a Development Financing Agreement under  which  the
Partnership will advance funds to TWI for the construction  of  a
Tumbleweed  restaurant on the site.  Through June 30,  2000,  the
Partnership  had  advanced $492,293 for the construction  of  the
property  and is charging interest on the advances at a  rate  of
8.75%.  The total purchase price, including the cost of the land,
will  be  approximately $1,460,000.  After  the  construction  is
complete,  the Lease Agreement will be amended to require  annual
rental payments of approximately $144,000.

       The Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution
and  redemption  payments to Partners.  The Partnership  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 Partnership attempts to maintain a  stable
distribution  rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption  payments
are  paid  to  redeeming Partners in the fourth quarter  of  each
year.   Effective  April 1, 1999, the Partnership's  distribution
rate  was  reduced from 7.0% to 6.5%.  As a result, distributions
were higher during the first six months of 1999 when compared  to
the same period in 2000.

        The  Partnership may acquire Units from Limited  Partners
who have tendered their Units to the Partnership.  Such Units may
be  acquired at a discount.  The Partnership is not obligated  to
purchase  in  any  year  more than 5%  of  the  number  of  Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year.  In no event shall  the
Partnership  be  obligated to purchase  Units  if,  in  the  sole
discretion  of the Managing General Partner, such purchase  would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership.

        During  1999, ten Limited Partners redeemed  a  total  of
280.37  Partnership  Units for $239,479 in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using  Net  Cash  Flow from operations.  In  prior  years,  three
Limited Partners redeemed a total of 171.1 Partnership Units  for
$154,021.    The  redemptions  increase  the  remaining   Limited
Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.

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