     by  the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules  and
     regulations  of  the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and

     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

     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.

     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 6%
     of their Adjusted Capital Contribution per annum, cumulative
     but not compounded, to the extent not previously distributed
     from  Net  Cash Flow; (ii) next, 99% to the Limited Partners
     and  1%  to the General Partners until the Limited  Partners
     receive  an  amount equal to 14% of their  Adjusted  Capital
     Contribution  per annum, cumulative but not  compounded,  to
     the  extent not previously distributed; (iii) next,  to  the
     General  Partners  until  cumulative  distributions  to  the
     General  Partners under Items (ii) and (iii)  equal  15%  of
     cumulative  distributions to all Partners under  Items  (ii)
     and (iii).  Any remaining balance will be distributed 85% to
     the  Limited  Partners  and  15% 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 90%  to
     the  Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners.   In
     the  event  no Net Cash Flow is distributed to  the  Limited
     Partners,  90%  of each item of income, gain or  credit  for
     each  respective  year  shall be allocated  to  the  Limited
     Partners,  and 10% of each such item shall be  allocated  to
     the  General Partners.  Net losses from operations  will  be
     allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% 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 14% of their Adjusted Capital Contributions
     per  annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
     previously  allocated; (iii) third, to the General  Partners
     until  cumulative allocations to the General Partners  equal
     15%  of cumulative allocations.  Any remaining balance  will
     be  allocated  85% to the Limited Partners and  15%  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 -

     In November, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to  sell the Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia to  an
     unrelated third party.  On February 2, 2000, the sale closed
     with   the  Partnership  receiving  net  sale  proceeds   of
     $1,468,504,  which resulted in a net gain of  $273,747.   At
     the   time   of  sale,  the  cost  and  related  accumulated
     depreciation was $1,247,571 and $52,814, respectively.

     In  January, 2000, Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. (Texas), the
     lessee  of  the  Sports City Cafe, notified the  Partnership
     that they were discontinuing the restaurant operations.  The
     Partnership negotiated to sell the property for $900,000  to
     an   unrelated  third  party,  who  assumed  the  restaurant
     operations  from Texas.  On July 28, 2000, the  sale  closed
     with   the  Partnership  receiving  net  sale  proceeds   of
     $311,882, which resulted in a net gain of $628.  At the time
     of  sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation  was
     $450,109 and $138,855, respectively.

     In  December, 1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc. (GCR),  the
     lessee  of  the Applebee's restaurant in Slidell, Louisiana,
     filed  for reorganization.  GCR continued to make the  lease
     payments  to  the Partnership under the supervision  of  the
     bankruptcy court.  A reorganization plan was accepted by the
     Bankruptcy Court, which provided for the Lease to be assumed
     by  GCR  and assigned to another operator who purchased  the
     Partnership's  share  of the property.   The  reorganization
     plan  also provided for the Partnership to collect all rents
     outstanding  under the terms of the Lease.  On  October  25,
     2000,  the  sale closed with the Partnership  receiving  net
     sale  proceeds of $960,230, which resulted in a net gain  of
     $330,013.   At  the  time  of sale,  the  cost  and  related
     accumulated   depreciation  was   $746,464   and   $116,247,
     respectively.

     In November, 2000, the Partnership sold 9,576 square feet of
     land  from  the  Fuddruckers' property in  Omaha,  Nebraska,
     pursuant to a Right-Of-Way Agreement with the City of  Omaha
     Public  Works.   The Partnership received  net  proceeds  of
     $216,593,  which  resulted  in  a  gain  of  $168,838.   The
     original  cost  of  the  parcel of land  was  $47,755.   The
     Partnership  believes the City of Omaha has undervalued  the
     land  and  is  currently negotiating to  receive  additional
     proceeds.

     During  the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,  the
     Partnership  distributed $181,581 and $252,525 of  net  sale
     proceeds   to  the  Limited  and  General  Partners,   which
     represented  a  return of capital of $13.44 and  $18.56  per
     Limited  Partnership Unit, respectively.  The  remainder  of
     the sale proceeds will be distributed in future periods.

     In  August,  2000, Renaissant Development Corp.  (RDC),  the
     lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Victoria, Texas filed
     for reorganization.  RDC closed the restaurant, rejected the
     Lease  and  returned  possession  of  the  property  to  the
     Partnership.  As a result, the Partnership did  not  collect
     scheduled rent of $40,800 for the first three months of 2001
     and  $68,000  in 2000.  These amounts were not  accrued  for
     financial  reporting purposes.  The Partnership  has  listed
     the  property  for  sale or lease.  While  the  property  is
     vacant, the Partnership is responsible for real estate taxes
     and other costs required to maintain the property.

     As  of  December  31, 2000, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the  Victoria property was approximately $800,000.   In  the
     fourth  quarter  of  2000, a charge to operations  for  real
     estate  impairment of $353,062 was recognized, which is  the
     difference  between the book value at December 31,  2000  of
     $1,153,062  and the estimated fair value of  $800,000.   The
     charge  was  recorded against the cost of the  building  and
     equipment.

     In  January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
     Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The property will  not  be
     rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale.  As of
     December 31, 2000, based on an analysis of market conditions
     in  the  area,  it  was determined the  fair  value  of  the
     Partnership's   interest  in  the  land  was   approximately
     $50,000.   In  the  fourth quarter  of  2000,  a  charge  to
     operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $124,747  was
     recognized, which is the difference between the  book  value
     at  December  31,  2000 of $174,747 and the  estimated  fair
     value of $50,000.

(4)  Payable to AEI Fund Management -

     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)  Deferred Income -

     In  June,  1994, Fuddruckers, Inc., the restaurant concept's
     franchisor,  acquired  the  operations  of  the  Fuddruckers
     restaurant  in  Omaha,  Nebraska  and  assumed   the   lease
     obligations  from  the  original lessee.   As  part  of  the
     agreement,  the Partnership amended the Lease to reduce  the
     base  rent from $167,699 to $145,081.  The Partnership could
     receive  additional  rent in the  future  if  10%  of  gross
     receipts  from  the  property  exceed  the  base  rent.   In
     consideration  for the lease assumption and  amendment,  the
     Partnership  received a lump sum payment from  the  original
     lessee of $159,539.  The lump sum payment will be recognized
     as  income  over  the  remainder of the  Lease  term,  which
     expires  on  November  30,  2007, using  the  straight  line
     method.

     As  of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Partnership
     had recognized $80,271 and $77,298 of the payment as income.
     At  March 31, 2001, the remaining deferred income of $36,231
     was  prepaid  rent  related  to  certain  other  Partnership
     properties.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $116,097  and  $217,497,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment income of $34,905 and $17,416, respectively.  In 2001,
rental  income decreased mainly as a result of the loss  of  rent
from  the  Applebee's in Victoria, Texas and the  property  sales
discussed  below.   The decrease in rental income  was  partially
offset by additional investment income earned on the net proceeds
from the property sales.

       In December, 1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc. (GCR), the
lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Slidell, Louisiana,  filed
for reorganization.  GCR continued to make the lease payments  to
the Partnership under the supervision of the bankruptcy court.  A
reorganization plan was accepted by the Bankruptcy  Court,  which
provided  for  the  Lease to be assumed by GCR  and  assigned  to
another  operator who purchased the Partnership's  share  of  the
property.   The  reorganization  plan  also  provided   for   the
Partnership to collect all rents outstanding under the  terms  of
the  Lease.   On  October  25, 2000, the  sale  closed  with  the
Partnership  receiving  net  sale  proceeds  of  $960,230,  which
resulted  in  a net gain of $330,013.  At the time of  sale,  the
cost  and  related  accumulated  depreciation  was  $746,464  and
$116,247, respectively.

        In  August, 2000, Renaissant Development Corp. (RDC), the
lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in Victoria, Texas filed  for
reorganization.   RDC closed the restaurant, rejected  the  Lease
and returned possession of the property to the Partnership.  As a
result, the Partnership did not collect scheduled rent of $40,800
for  the  first three months of 2001 and $68,000 in 2000.   These
amounts  were not accrued for financial reporting purposes.   The
Partnership has listed the property for sale or lease.  While the
property  is  vacant,  the Partnership is  responsible  for  real
estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property.

        As  of  December 31, 2000, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Victoria  property  was approximately $800,000.   In  the  fourth
quarter  of  2000,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $353,062 was recognized, which is the  difference
between the book value at December 31, 2000 of $1,153,062 and the
estimated  fair  value  of  $800,000.  The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the building and equipment.

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The property will
not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale.   As
of  December 31, 2000, based on an analysis of market  conditions
in   the   area,  it  was  determined  the  fair  value  of   the
Partnership's interest in the land was approximately $50,000.  In
the  fourth  quarter  of 2000, a charge to  operations  for  real
estate  impairment  of  $124,747 was  recognized,  which  is  the
difference  between  the  book value  at  December  31,  2000  of
$174,747 and the estimated fair value of $50,000.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated  parties of $51,249 and $51,153, 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  $25,021 and $20,291, 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.

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

        As  of March 31, 2001, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution  rate  was  9.3%,  based  on  the  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.   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.   It is expected that increases in sales  volumes  of
the  tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, 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  three  months  ended  March  31,  2001,  the
Partnership's  cash balances decreased $178,659 as  a  result  of
distributions  made  in excess of cash generated  from  operating
activities.  Net Cash provided by operating activities  decreased
from  $154,722  in  2000 to $74,681 in 2001  as  a  result  of  a
decrease  in income and an increase in Partnership administration
expenses in 2001.

        In  the first three months of 2000, net cash provided  by
investing  activities was $1,473,999 which represented cash  flow
generated from the sale of real estate.

        In  November,  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement to sell the Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia to
an  unrelated third party.  On February 2, 2000, the sale  closed
with  the  Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $1,468,504,
which  resulted in a net gain of $273,747.  At the time of  sale,
the  cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,247,571 and
$52,814, respectively.

        In  January, 2000, Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd.  (Texas),
the lessee of the Sports City Cafe, notified the Partnership that
they   were   discontinuing  the  restaurant   operations.    The
Partnership  negotiated to sell the property for $900,000  to  an
unrelated third party, who assumed the restaurant operations from
Texas.   On  July 28, 2000, the sale closed with the  Partnership
receiving net sale proceeds of $311,882, which resulted in a  net
gain  of  $628.   At  the  time of sale,  the  cost  and  related
accumulated depreciation was $450,109 and $138,855, respectively.

        In November, 2000, the Partnership sold 9,576 square feet
of  land  from  the  Fuddruckers' property  in  Omaha,  Nebraska,
pursuant  to  a  Right-Of-Way Agreement with the  City  of  Omaha
Public Works.  The Partnership received net proceeds of $216,593,
which  resulted in a gain of $168,838.  The original cost of  the
parcel of land was $47,755.  The Partnership believes the City of
Omaha  has  undervalued the land and is currently negotiating  to
receive additional proceeds.

       During the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the
Partnership  distributed  $181,581  and  $252,525  of  net   sale
proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which represented a
return  of  capital of $13.44 and $18.56 per Limited  Partnership
Unit,  respectively.  The remainder of the sale proceeds will  be
distributed in future periods.

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

       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.

        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 2000, sixteen Limited Partners redeemed a total of
97.5  Partnership  Units  for  $37,740  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  Agreement.   The Partnership  acquired  these  Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
149  Limited  Partners  redeemed 1,531.85 Partnership  Units  for
$1,051,054.   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.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

         The   foregoing  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 the Partnership, must 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
    affects of these consequences for investors;

    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.
