(“AFM”), the Managing Member.  Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole director of AFM, serves as the Special Managing Member.  AFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation of which Mr. Johnson is the majority shareholder.  AEI Fund Management, Inc. (“AEI”), an affiliate of AFM, performs the administrative and operating functions for the Company.

The terms of the offering called for a subscription price of $1,000 per LLC Unit, payable on acceptance of the offer.  The Company commenced operations on September 11, 2003 when minimum subscriptions of 1,500 LLC Units ($1,500,000) were accepted.  The offering terminated May 12, 2005, when the extended offering period expired.  The Company received subscriptions for 42,434.763 Units.  Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, the Limited Members and Managing Members contributed funds of $42,434,763 and $1,000, respectively.  The Company shall continue until December 31, 2053, unless dissolved, terminated and liquidated prior to that date.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This section contains "forward-looking statements" 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, the sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other matters.  These, and other forward-looking statements, should be evaluated in the context of a number of factors that may affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, including the following:

 
Market and economic conditions which affect the value of the properties the Company 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 effects of these consequences for Members;
 
resolution by the Managing Members of conflicts with which they may be confronted;
 
the success of the Managing Members of locating properties with favorable risk return characteristics;
 
the effect of tenant defaults; and
 
the condition of the industries in which the tenants of properties owned by the Company operate.

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 investments in 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 cost (not including acquisition expenses).  The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  For properties the Company will hold and operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property’s probability-weighted future undiscounted 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 net realizable value, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its net realizable value.  Changes in these assumptions or analysis may 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.

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

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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized rental income from continuing operations of $1,949,649 and $1,869,575, respectively.  In 2011, rental income increased due to additional rent received from one property acquisition in 2010 and rent increases on five properties.  Based on the scheduled rent for the properties owned as of October 31, 2011, the Company expects to recognize rental income from continuing operations of approximately $2,635,000 and $2,815,000 in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred LLC administration expenses from affiliated parties of $269,801 and $270,522, respectively.  These administration expenses include costs associated with the management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting requirements and communicating with the Limited Members.  During the same periods, the Company incurred LLC administration and property management expenses from unrelated parties of $52,400 and $41,976, 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized interest income of $12,655 and $10,916, respectively.  In 2011, interest income increased due to the Company having more money invested in a money market account due to property sales.

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 of the property to discontinued operations.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $179,446, representing rental income less property management expenses of $44,177 and gain on disposal of real estate of $135,269.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $225,758 representing rental income less property management expenses of $134,847 and gain on disposal of real estate of $90,911.

During 2010, the Company sold 47.0843% of the Applebee’s restaurant in Macedonia, Ohio, in six separate transactions, to unrelated third parties.  The Company received total net sale proceeds of $1,571,988, which resulted in a net gain of $218,688.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $1,475,997 and $122,697, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the net gain was $90,911.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold an additional 27.2553% of the Applebee’s restaurant in Macedonia, Ohio, in four separate transactions, to unrelated third parties.  The Company received net sale proceeds of $918,644, which resulted in a net gain of $135,269.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $854,398 and $71,023, respectively.

On October 19, 2011, the Company sold its remaining 5.3036% interest in the Applebee’s restaurant in Macedonia, Ohio to an unrelated third party.  The Company received net sale proceeds of approximately $177,400, which resulted in a net gain of approximately $25,000.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interest sold was $166,259 and $13,819, respectively.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $152,440 and $935,815, respectively.

Management believes inflation has not significantly affected 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.  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 nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company's cash balances increased $830,741 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially offset by distributions and redemption payments paid to the Members in excess of cash generated from operating activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company's cash balances increased $573,112 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially offset by distributions and redemption payments paid to the Members in excess of cash generated from operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $1,607,625 in 2010 to $1,682,015 in 2011 as a result of net timing differences in the collection of payments from the tenants and the payment of expenses, which was partially offset by a decrease in total rental and interest income in 2011 and an increase in LLC administration and property management expenses in 2011.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $918,644 and $630,957, respectively.

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

On October 20, 2010, the Company purchased a 21% interest in a Scott & White Clinic in College Station, Texas for $771,868.  The property is leased to Scott & White Healthcare under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 9.7 years (as of the date of purchase) and initial annual rent of $64,680 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interests in the property were purchased by AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership and AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership, affiliates of the Company.

On October 21, 2011, the Company purchased a 72% interest in a Staples store in Clermont, Florida for $2,307,312.  The property is leased to Staples the Office Superstore East, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 8.4 years and initial annual rent of $187,795 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership, an affiliate 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 week 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company declared distributions of $1,634,847 and $1,634,849, 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 $1,585,802 and $1,585,803 and the Managing Members received distributions of $49,045 and $49,046 for the periods, respectively.  In December 2010, the Company declared a special distribution of net sale proceeds of $106,768, which resulted in a higher distribution payable at December 31, 2010.

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 more than 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, 2011, two Limited Members redeemed a total of 42.99 Units for $27,454 in accordance with the Operating Agreement.  On April 1, 2010, two Limited Members redeemed a total of 46.92 Units for $29,702 in accordance with the Operating Agreement.  The Company acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, eight Limited Members redeemed a total of 415.48 Units for $305,680.  The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Members’ ownership interest in the Company.  As a result of these redemption payments and pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Managing Members received distributions of $849 and $918 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

The Economy and Market Conditions

The impact of conditions in the current economy, including the turmoil in the credit markets, has adversely affected many real estate investment funds.  However, the absence of mortgage financing on the Company’s properties eliminates the risks of foreclosure and debt-refinancing that can negatively impact the value and distributions of leveraged real estate investment funds.  Nevertheless, a prolonged economic downturn may adversely affect the operations of the Company’s tenants and their cash flows.  If a tenant were to default on its lease obligations, the Company’s income would decrease, its distributions would likely be reduced and the value of its properties might decline.
