AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (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. (2) Organization - AEI Real Estate Fund XVI Limited Partnership (Partnership) was formed to acquire and lease commercial properties to operating tenants. The Partnership's operations are managed by AEI Fund Management XVI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole shareholder of AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner of the Partnership. 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 February 6, 1987 when minimum subscriptions of 2,000 Limited Partnership Units ($2,000,000) were accepted. The Partnership's offering terminated on November 6, 1987 when the maximum subscription limit of 15,000 Limited Partnership Units ($15,000,000) was reached. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of $15,000,000 and $1,000, respectively. During the operation of the Partnership, 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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (2) Organization - (Continued) Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or financing of the Partnership's 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 the Partnership's 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 Partnership 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 the Partnership's 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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - The Partnership owns a 35% interest in a J.T. McCord's restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and a 100% interest in a J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. In December, 1995, the Partnership took possession of the properties after the lessee was unable to perform under the terms of the Leases. In July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an unrelated third party. In September, 1996, the Agreement was terminated by the purchaser. The property was listed for sale or lease until March, 1997 when it was re-leased to Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. under a triple net lease agreement with a primary term of 12 years which may be renewed for up to two consecutive five-year periods. The Partnership's share of the annual base rent is $17,500 for the first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year, with rent increases in each subsequent lease year of either three percent of the prior year's rent or three percent of gross receipts in years two and three and six percent of gross receipts thereafter, to the extent they exceed the base rent. On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sales proceeds of $741,635 which resulted in a net loss of $109,144. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was $1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively. While the properties were being re-leased or sold, the Partnership was responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the properties. The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant in Waco, Texas, which was previously closed. In June 1995, the Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina of Waco, L.C. The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen months with an annual rental payment of $29,752. The Partnership could also receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property exceeded certain specified amounts. In December, 1997, the lessee elected not to exercise the renewal option in the lease. The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease. While the property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. As of December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest in the Waco property was approximately $385,600. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $100,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $485,600 and the estimated fair value of $385,600. The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued) In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company which calls for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. The Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of $406,892 which resulted in a net gain of $88,207. At the time of disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $496,967 and $178,282, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, 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 $200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $54,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $253,747 and the estimated fair value of $200,000. The Partnership owned a 30.8078% interest in a Sizzler restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati, Ohio. In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant and listed it for sale or lease. On January 23, 1997, the Partnership sold its interest in the property to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $149,201, which resulted in a net loss of $216,300, which was recognized as a real estate impairment in the fourth quarter of 1996. Prior to the sale, the Partnership was responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. In November, 1997, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Fuddruckers restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri to an unrelated third party. In March, 1998, the agreement was terminated by the purchaser. In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia. The property was acquired on August 15, 1997 for $1,247,571. The property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 18 years and annual rental payments of $142,025. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, net sale proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until a date ten years after the date on which the offer and sale of Units is terminated. This period expired on November 6, 1997. In February, 1998, the Managing General Partner proposed an Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement that would allow the Partnership to reinvest the majority of the sale proceeds from the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas and subsequent property sales in additional properties. The proposed Amendment did not receive a majority vote for adoption. During the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, the Partnership distributed $720,416 and $71,631 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners which represented a return of capital of $51.24 and $5.07 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (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 restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri and Omaha, Nebraska, and assumed the lease obligations from the original lessee. As part of the agreement, the Partnership amended the Leases to reduce the annual base rent from $109,033 to $92,164 for the St. Louis property and $167,699 to $145,081 for the Omaha property. The Partnership could receive additional rent in the future if 10% of gross receipts from the properties exceed the base rent. In consideration for the lease assumption and amendment, the Partnership received a lump sum payment from the original lessee of $299,723. The lump sum payment will be recognized as income over the remainder of the Lease terms which expire January 31, 2008 and November 30, 2007, using the straight line method. As of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Partnership has recognized $94,401 and $77,742 of this payment as income. At September 30, 1998, the remaining deferred income of $22,574 was prepaid rent related to certain other Partnership properties. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Results of Operations For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership recognized rental income of $765,927 and $698,703, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $16,608 and $59,007, respectively. In 1998, rental income increased as the result of rental income received from the Caribou Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia, rental income received from re-leasing the restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and rent increases on four properties. This increase was offset by a reduction in rental income due to the vacancy of the restaurant in Waco, Texas, the expiration of lease guarantee insurance policies on two properties in 1997, and the reduction of percentage rent on one property in 1998. The increase in rental income was offset by a decrease in investment income earned on the net proceeds prior to the purchase of the additional property. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) The Partnership owns a 35% interest in a J.T. McCord's restaurant in Mesquite, Texas and a 100% interest in a J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. In December, 1995, the Partnership took possession of the properties after the lessee was unable to perform under the terms of the Leases. In July, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the J.T. McCord's in Mesquite, Texas to an unrelated third party. In September, 1996, the Agreement was terminated by the purchaser. The property was listed for sale or lease until March, 1997 when it was re-leased to Texas Sports City Cafe, Ltd. under a triple net lease agreement with a primary term of 12 years which may be renewed for up to two consecutive five-year periods. The Partnership's share of the annual base rent is $17,500 for the first lease year and $31,500 for the second lease year, with rent increases in each subsequent lease year of either three percent of the prior year's rent or three percent of gross receipts in years two and three and six percent of gross receipts thereafter, to the extent they exceed the base rent. In December, 1997, the Irving property was sold as discussed below. While the properties were being re-leased or sold, the Partnership was responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the properties. The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant in Waco, Texas, which was previously closed. In June 1995, the Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina of Waco, L.C. The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen months with an annual rental payment of $29,752. The Partnership could also receive additional rent if gross receipts from the property exceeded certain specified amounts. In December, 1997, the lessee elected not to exercise the renewal option in the lease. The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease. While the property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. As of December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest in the Waco property was approximately $385,600. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $100,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $485,600 and the estimated fair value of $385,600. The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building. The Partnership owned a 30.8078% interest in a Sizzler restaurant at the King's Island Theme Park near Cincinnati, Ohio. In January, 1994, the Partnership closed the restaurant and listed it for sale or lease. On January 23, 1997, the Partnership sold its interest in the property to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of $149,201, which resulted in a net loss of $216,300, which was recognized as a real estate impairment in the fourth quarter of 1996. Prior to the sale, the Partnership was responsible for the real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to affiliated parties of $158,220 and $152,813, respectively. These administration expenses include costs associated with the management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. The increase in expenses in 1998, when compared to 1997, is due to expenses incurred in 1998 related to a proxy statement. During the same periods, the Partnership incurred partnership administration and property management expenses from unrelated parties of $42,113 and $72,243, 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. The decrease in expenses in 1998, when compared to 1997, is mainly due to expenses incurred in 1997 related to the J.T. McCordOs restaurant in Irving, Texas. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership's annualized cash distribution rate was 5%, 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. AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management services for the Partnership. AEI is currently analyzing its computer hardware and software systems to determine what, if any, resources need to be dedicated regarding Year 2000 issues. The Partnership does not anticipate any significant operational impact or incurring material costs as a result of AEI becoming Year 2000 compliant. Liquidity and Capital Resources During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership's cash balances decreased $618,463 mainly due to the distribution of $707,071 of net sale proceeds to the Partners as a special distribution in April, 1998. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $546,196 in 1997 to $590,071 in 1998 mainly as a result of an increase in income and a decrease in expenses in 1998. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $149,202. During the same period, the Partnership expended $524,976 to invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses), as the Partnership reinvested cash generated from property sales. In January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana was destroyed by a fire. The Partnership reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company which calls for termination of the Lease, demolition of the building and payment to the Partnership of $407,282 for the building and equipment and $49,688 for lost rent. The property will not be rebuilt and the Partnership listed the land for sale. The Partnership recognized net disposition proceeds of $406,892 which resulted in a net gain of $88,207. At the time of disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $496,967 and $178,282, respectively. As of December 31, 1997, 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 $200,000. In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $54,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the book value at December 31, 1997 of $253,747 and the estimated fair value of $200,000. On December 22, 1997, the Partnership sold the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received net sales proceeds of $741,635 which resulted in a net loss of $109,144. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was $1,147,333 and $296,554, respectively. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase a Caribou Coffee store in Atlanta, Georgia. The property was acquired on August 15, 1997 for $1,247,571. The property is leased to Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 18 years and annual rental payments of $142,025. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as amended, net sale proceeds may be reinvested in additional properties until a date ten years after the date on which the offer and sale of Units is terminated. This period expired on November 6, 1997. In February, 1998, the Managing General Partner proposed an Amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement that would allow the Partnership to reinvest the majority of the sale proceeds from the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas and subsequent property sales in additional properties. The proposed Amendment did not receive a majority vote for adoption. During the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, the Partnership distributed $720,416 and $71,631 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners which represented a return of capital of $51.24 and $5.07 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. 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 redemption payments generally are funded with cash that would normally be paid as part of the regular quarterly distributions. As a result, total distributions and distributions payable have fluctuated from year to year due to cash used to fund redemption payments. Effective April 1, 1997, the Partnership's distribution rate was reduced from 6.5% to 6.0% which resulted in regular distributions to the Partners of $603,109 for the first nine months of 1997. In April, 1998, the Partnership distributed net sale proceeds of $707,071 to the Partners as a special distribution, which reduced the Limited PartnersO Adjusted Capital Contribution. Effective April 1, 1998, the Partnership made distributions at a 5.0% rate on the reduced capital balance, which resulted in regular distributions to the Partners of $502,348 for the first nine months of 1998. 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. On October 1, 1998, twenty-seven Limited Partners redeemed a total of 313.25 Partnership Units for $161,072 in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of 101 Limited Partners redeemed 1,080.6 Partnership Units for $829,400. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) The continuing rent payments from the properties should be adequate to fund continuing distributions and meet other Partnership obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
