AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2003 (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. 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 February 6, 1987 when minimum subscriptions of 2,000 Limited Partnership Units ($2,000,000) were accepted. The offering terminated on November 6, 1987 when the maximum subscription limit of 15,000 Limited Partnership Units 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 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. 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 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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE - 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 believed the City of Omaha undervalued the land and negotiated to receive additional proceeds. In March 2002, the City of Omaha approved a settlement and paid the Partnership additional gross proceeds of $69,795, which resulted in a net gain of $59,273. Due to the redevelopment of the roads adjacent to the Fuddruckers' property and proceeds received from the city of Omaha for easements during such redevelopment, the Partnership agreed to a temporary modification of rent payments through March 31, 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, the modification resulted in a reduction of base rent of $6,410 and $43,002, respectively. Due to the permanent changes to the property and the proceeds received from the city of Omaha, the Partnership may consider a long-term modification of the Lease. 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. For the period from January 1, 2002 through July 2, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership did not collect scheduled rent of $82,477 and $142,687, respectively. These amounts were not accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership listed the property for sale or lease. While the property was vacant, the Partnership was responsible for real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. In April 2002, the Partnership received an offer to buy the restaurant for $725,000 from an unrelated third party. In the first quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $106,745 was recognized, which was the difference between the book value at March 31, 2002 of $776,745 and the estimated net sales proceeds of $670,000. The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building. On July 3, 2002, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $673,665, which resulted in a net gain of $3,665. In July 2002, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Creative Years daycare center for $230,000 to the lessee. The sale is subject to numerous contingencies and may not be completed. In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $63,177 was recognized, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $288,177 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $225,000. 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) On December 31, 2002, the Lease term for the Grand Rapids Teachers Credit Union in Wyoming, Michigan expired. Originally, the lessee planned to move out of the building and relocate to a new building in the area. On a month-to- month basis, the lessee rented a portion of the property for $1,250 per month while their new building was constructed. The Partnership listed the property for sale with a local real estate broker. Subsequently, the Credit Union decided to purchase the property for $400,000. On March 28, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $399,184, which resulted in a net gain of $41,624. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $626,240 and $268,680, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale. In February 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the two JEMCARE daycare centers in Arlington, Texas to the lessee for $175,000 for the property on Arkansas Lane and $325,000 for the property on Matlock Avenue. In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $114,648 was recognized for the property on Arkansas Lane, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $282,648 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $168,000. A charge to operations for real estate impairment of $131,740 was recognized for the property located on Matlock Avenue, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $449,740 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $318,000. The charges were recorded against the cost of the land and building. On March 7, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $172,822 for the property on Arkansas Lane, which resulted in a net gain of $5,935. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $335,827 and $168,940, respectively. The Partnership received $321,970 for the property on Matlock Avenue, which resulted in a net gain of $5,212. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $471,902 and $155,144, respectively. During the first three months of 2003 and 2002, the Partnership distributed $539,156 and $114,940 of net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which represented a return of capital of $40.45 and $8.58 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The remaining net sale proceeds will be distributed to the Partners in the future. (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. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (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. Through March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Partnership had recognized $104,055 and $101,082 of the payment as income. At March 31, 2003, the remaining deferred income of $3,091 was prepaid rent related to certain other Partnership properties. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The 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 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. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) The 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 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 the lower of cost or estimated realizable value. The Partnership initially records the properties at cost (including capitalized acquisition expenses). The Partnership is required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of properties to determine whether their realizable value has declined. For properties the Partnership will hold and operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property's probability-weighted 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 realizable value, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its realizable value. A change in these assumptions or analysis could 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 some 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 three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership recognized rental income of $129,174 and $105,984, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $1,434 and $3,578, respectively. In 2003, rental income was higher than in 2002 mainly as a result of a percentage rent payment received on one property in 2003 and temporary rent modifications on two properties reduced rental income in 2002. 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. For the period from January 1, 2002 through July 2, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership did not collect scheduled rent of $82,477 and $142,687, respectively. These amounts were not accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership listed the property for sale or lease. While the property was vacant, the Partnership was responsible for real estate taxes and other costs required to maintain the property. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) In April 2002, the Partnership received an offer to buy the restaurant for $725,000 from an unrelated third party. In the first quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $106,745 was recognized, which was the difference between the book value at March 31, 2002 of $776,745 and the estimated net sales proceeds of $670,000. The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building. On July 3, 2002, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $673,665, which resulted in a net gain of $3,665. In July 2002, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the Creative Years daycare center for $230,000 to the lessee. The sale is subject to numerous contingencies and may not be completed. In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $63,177 was recognized, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $288,177 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $225,000.

At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $626,240 and $268,680, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale. In February 2003, the Partnership entered into an agreement to sell the two JEMCARE daycare centers in Arlington, Texas to the lessee for $175,000 for the property on Arkansas Lane and $325,000 for the property on Matlock Avenue. In the fourth quarter of 2002, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $114,648 was recognized for the property on Arkansas Lane, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $282,648 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $168,000. A charge to operations for real estate impairment of $131,740 was recognized for the property located on Matlock Avenue, which was the difference between book value at December 31, 2002 of $449,740 and the estimated net sale proceeds of $318,000. The charges were recorded against the cost of the land and building. On March 7, 2003, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $172,822 for the property on Arkansas Lane, which resulted in a net gain of $5,935. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $335,827 and $168,940, respectively. The Partnership received $321,970 for the property on Matlock Avenue, which resulted in a net gain of $5,212. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $471,902 and $155,144, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to affiliated parties of $29,015 and $56,594, 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 $12,252 and $24,158, 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) Inflation has had a minimal effect on 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. In addition, leases may contain rent clauses which entitle the Partnership to receive additional rent in future years if gross receipts for the property exceed certain specified amounts. Increases in sales volumes of the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, may 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 three months ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership's cash balances increased $839,418 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 increased from $(7,896) in 2002 to $65,914 in 2003 mainly as a result of an increase in income and a decrease in Partnership administration expenses in 2003. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $893,976 and $59,273, 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 believed the City of Omaha undervalued the land and negotiated to receive additional proceeds. In March 2002, the City of Omaha approved a settlement and paid the Partnership additional gross proceeds of $69,795, which resulted in a net gain of $59,273. Due to the redevelopment of the roads adjacent to the Fuddruckers' property and proceeds received from the city of Omaha for easements during such redevelopment, the Partnership agreed to a temporary modification of rent payments through March 31, 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, the modification resulted in a reduction of base rent of $6,410 and $43,002, respectively. Due to the permanent changes to the property and the proceeds received from the city of Omaha, the Partnership may consider a long-term modification of the Lease. 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. During the first three months of 2003 and 2002, the Partnership distributed $539,156 and $114,940 of net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners, which represented a return of capital of $40.45 and $8.58 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The remaining net sale proceeds will be distributed to the Partners in the future. 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 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 2002, eight Limited Partners redeemed a total of 69.67 Partnership Units for $10,137 in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of 174 Limited Partners redeemed 1,735.15 Partnership Units for $1,115,407. 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. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. (a) Evaluation of 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 its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule [13a-14(c)/15d-14(c)] under the Exchange Act) related to the Partnership as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing General Partner concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Partnership required to be included in periodic SEC filings. (b) Changes in internal controls There were no significant changes made in the Partnership's internal controls during the period covered by this report or, to the Managing General Partner's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
