AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (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 - 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 July 1995, the lessee of the Super 8 Motel in Hot Springs, Arkansas, exercised an option in the Lease Agreement to purchase the property. On March 29, 1996, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $663,386 which resulted in a net gain of $215,017. The Partnership recognized $18,534 of this gain in 1995 due to nonrefundable deposits received from the purchaser. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was $583,653 and $135,284, respectively. In January, 1996, the CheddarOs 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. The PartnershipOs cost of the land is $253,747. 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 $149,202, 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. No rent was received in 1997 or 1996 from the property. At December 31, 1996, the property was classified on the balance sheet as Real Estate Held for Sale. During the first nine months of 1997 and the year 1996, the Partnership distributed $71,631 and $699,791 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions, which represented a return of capital of $5.07 and $49.17 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The majority of the remaining net proceeds were reinvested in two additional properties. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued) In November, 1995, the Partnership entered into an Agreement to purchase an ApplebeeOs restaurant in Victoria, Texas. The property was acquired on March 22, 1996 for $1,335,555. The property is leased to Renaissant Development Corporation under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $151,110. 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. In October, 1997, the Partnership received an offer of $792,500 to sell the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. The sale is contingent upon the completion of the purchaser's due diligence and, pending the outcome of that due diligence, is expected to close in December, 1997, or January, 1998. The restaurant was purchased by the Partnership in December, 1987 for $1,147,333. If the transaction is consummated, the Partnership will incur a loss of approximately $104,000, or approximately $7.34 per Unit outstanding. (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 base rent from the current annual rent of $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, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Partnership has recognized $72,189 and $55,530 of this payment as income. At September 30, 1997, the remaining deferred income of $22,414 was prepaid rent related to certain other Partnership properties. AEI REAL ESTATE FUND XVI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (6) Security Deposit - In May, 1997, the Partnership received a deposit from the tenant of the Texas Sport City Cafe as security for construction improvements being made by the tenant. The funds are invested in a short term money market account and will be returned to the lessee, without interest, within ten days after written notification of satisfactory completion of the work. In October, 1997, the Partnership returned the deposit to the lessee. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Results of Operations For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership recognized rental income of $698,703 and $738,838, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned investment income of $59,007 and $59,052, respectively. In 1997, rental income decreased mainly as a result of the property sales discussed below. The decrease in rental income was partially offset by rental income received from the Applebee's in Victoria, Texas, and the Caribou Coffee in Atlanta, Georgia. 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. 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 $149,202, 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. No rent was received in 1997 or 1996 from the property. At December 31, 1996, the property was classified on the balance sheet as Real Estate Held for Sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to affiliated parties of $152,813 and $157,633, 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 $72,243 and $113,049, 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 these expenses in 1997, when compared to 1996, is mainly the result of expenses incurred in 1996 related to the J.T. McCord's properties. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership's annualized cash distribution rate was 6.0%, 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership's cash balances decreased $447,847 mainly as a result of reinvesting net sale proceeds in an additional property, as discussed below. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $505,281 in 1996 to $546,196 in 1997 mainly as a result of net timing differences in the collection of payments from the lessees and the payment of expenses. 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. For the nine months ended September30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $149,202 and $1,051,744, respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership expended $524,976 and $1,333,690, respectively, to invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses) as the Partnership reinvested the cash generated from the property sales. In July 1995, the lessee of the Super 8 Motel in Hot Springs, Arkansas, exercised an option in the Lease Agreement to purchase the property. On March 29, 1996, the sale closed with the Partnership receiving net sale proceeds of $663,386 which resulted in a net gain of $215,017. The Partnership recognized $18,534 of this gain in 1995 due to nonrefundable deposits received from the purchaser. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was $583,653 and $135,284, respectively. In January, 1996, the CheddarOs 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. The PartnershipOs cost of the land is $253,747. During the first nine months of 1997 and the year 1996, the Partnership distributed $71,631 and $699,791 of the net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as part of their regular quarterly distributions, which represented a return of capital of $5.07 and $49.17 per Limited Partnership Unit, respectively. The majority of the remaining net proceeds were reinvested in two additional properties. ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued) In November, 1995, the Partnership entered into an agreement to purchase an Applebee's restaurant in Victoria, Texas. The property was acquired on March 22, 1996 for $1,335,555. The property is leased to Renaissant Development Corporation under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $151,110. 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. In October, 1997, the Partnership received an offer of $792,500 to sell the J.T. McCord's restaurant in Irving, Texas. The sale is contingent upon the completion of the purchaser's due diligence and, pending the outcome of that due diligence, is expected to close in December, 1997, or January, 1998. The restaurant was purchased by the Partnership in December, 1987 for $1,147,333. If the transaction is consummated, the Partnership will incur a loss of approximately $104,000, or approximately $7.34 per Unit outstanding. 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. Effective April 1, 1997, the Partnership's distribution rate was reduced from 6.5% to 6.0%. As a result, distributions during 1996 were higher when compared to the same period in 1997. 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, 1997, eleven Limited Partners redeemed a total of 75.3 Partnership Units for $44,105 in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of ninety Limited Partners redeemed 1,005.3 Partnership Units for $785,296. The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest in the Partnership.
