NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2013

(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared by the registrant, 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 registrant 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 registrant’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

(2) Organization –

AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership (“Partnership”) was formed to acquire and lease commercial 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 director of AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner. 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 Partnership.

The terms of the Partnership offering called 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 offering terminated when the maximum subscription limit of 24,000 Limited Partnership Units was reached. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of $24,000,000 and $1,000, respectively.

During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the General Partners 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

(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) Reclassification –

Certain items related to discontinued operations in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Partners’ capital, net income or cash flows.

(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.

(5) Discontinued Operations –

On February 3, 2012, the Partnership sold its remaining 2.6811% interest in the Arby’s restaurant in Montgomery, Alabama to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $16,200, which resulted in a net gain of $1,788. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interest sold was $23,049 and $8,637, respectively.

During 2012, the Partnership sold its remaining 8.8038% interest in the Winn-Dixie store in Panama City, Florida, in three separate transactions, to unrelated third parties. The Partnership received total net sale proceeds of $406,884, which resulted in a net gain of $68,108. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of the interests sold was $408,060 and $69,284, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net gain was $21,688.

On August 2, 2013, the Partnership sold the Scott & White Clinic in College Station, Texas to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,804,000, which resulted in a net gain of approximately $494,300. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,433,468 and $123,816, respectively. At June 30, 2013, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $1,309,652.

In June 2013, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Applebee’s restaurant in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to an unrelated third party. The sale is subject to contingencies and may not be completed. If the sale is completed, the Partnership expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $1,932,000, which will result in a net gain of approximately $589,000. At June 30, 2013, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $1,342,998.

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 Partnership's financial condition and results of operations, including the following:

—

Market and economic conditions which affect the value of the properties the Partnership 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 the Partners;

—

resolution by the General Partners of conflicts with which they may be confronted;

—

the success of the General Partners 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 Partnership operate.

Page 10 of 16

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

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the Partnership’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 Partnership as opposed to other funds they manage.

The Partnership purchases properties and records them in the financial statements at cost (not including acquisition expenses). The Partnership tests long-lived assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For properties the Partnership 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 Partnership reimburses these expenses subject to detailed limitations contained in the Partnership Agreement.

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

Results of Operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership recognized rental income from continuing operations of $551,378 and $538,479, respectively. In 2013, rental income increased due to additional rent received from rent increases on three properties. Based on the scheduled rent for the properties owned as of July 31, 2013, the Partnership expects to recognize rental income from continuing operations of approximately $1,107,000 in 2013.

Page 11 of 16

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

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership incurred Partnership administration expenses from affiliated parties of $101,479 and $110,257, respectively. These administration expenses include costs associated with the management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting requirements and communication with the Limited Partners. During the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership administration and property management expenses from unrelated parties of $25,217 and $27,646, 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership recognized interest income of $3,151 and $4,226, respectively.

Upon complete disposal of a property or classification of a property as Real Estate Held for Sale, the Partnership includes the operating results and sale of the property in discontinued operations. In addition, the Partnership reclassifies the prior periods’ operating results of the property to discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of $77,043, representing rental income less property management expenses and depreciation. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Partnership recognized income from discontinued operations of $116,650, representing rental income less property management expenses and depreciation of $93,174 and gain on disposal of real estate of $23,476.

Page 12 of 16

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

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 six months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership's cash balances decreased $46,669 as a result of distributions paid to the Partners in excess of cash generated from operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Partnership's cash balances increased $144,542 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially offset by distributions paid to the Partners in excess of cash generated from operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $586,491 in 2012 to $541,210 in 2013 as a result of a decrease in total rental and interest income in 2013 and net timing differences in the collection of payments from the tenants and the payment of expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in Partnership administration and property management expenses in 2013.

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, 2012, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $145,922.

The Partnership's primary use of cash flow, other than investment in real estate, 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership declared distributions of $587,878 and $587,871, respectively, which were distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners. The Limited Partners received distributions of $582,000 and $581,992 and the General Partners received distributions of $5,879 and $5,879 for the periods, respectively.

During the first six months of 2013 and 2012, the Partnership distributed net sale proceeds of $35,123 and $42,015 to the Limited and General Partners as part of their quarterly distributions, which represented a return of capital of $1.53 and $1.84 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The Partnership anticipates the remaining net sale proceeds will either be reinvested in additional property or distributed to the Partners in the future.

Page 13 of 16

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

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 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 Partnership Agreement), would exceed 5% of the total number of Units outstanding on January 1 of such 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 the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership did not redeem any Units from the Limited Partners.

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.

The Economy and Market Conditions

The impact of conditions in the economy over the last several years, including the turmoil in the credit markets, has adversely affected many real estate investment funds. However, the absence of mortgage financing on the Partnership'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 Partnership's tenants and their cash flows. If a tenant were to default on its lease obligations, the Partnership's income would decrease, its distributions would likely be reduced and the value of its properties might decline.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Partnership had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have current or future effects on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its President and Chief Financial Officer, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing General Partner concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing General Partner, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Page 14 of 16

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (Continued)

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the most recent period covered by this report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
