(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 Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership
(Partnership) was formed to acquire and lease commercial
properties to operating tenants. The Partnership's
operations are managed by AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc.
(AFM), the Managing General Partner 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., 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 April 14, 1995 when minimum
subscriptions of 1,500 Limited Partnership Units
($1,500,000) were accepted. On January 31, 1997, the
Partnership offering terminated when the maximum
subscription limit of 24,000 Limited Partnership Units
($24,000,000) was reached.
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of
$24,000,000 and $1,000, respectively. During 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.

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 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution
per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) any
remaining balance will be distributed 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners. Distributions to
the Limited Partners will be made pro rata by Units.
For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than
profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of 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 in the same ratio as the last dollar of Net Cash
Flow is distributed. Net losses from operations will be
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
or other disposition of 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 10% of their Adjusted Capital
Contributions per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to
the extent not previously allocated; (iii) third, the
balance of any remaining gain will then be allocated 90% to
the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.
Losses will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2%
to the General Partners.
The General Partners are not required to currently fund a
deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the General
Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balances in their capital
accounts or 1% of total Limited Partners' and General
Partners' capital contributions.

(3) Investments in Real Estate -
The Partnership leases its properties to various tenants
through non-cancelable triple net leases, which are
classified as operating leases. Under a triple net lease,
the lessee is responsible for all real estate taxes,
insurance, maintenance, repairs and operating expenses of
the property. The initial Lease terms are 20 years. The
Leases contain renewal options which may extend the Lease
term an additional 10 years for the Arby's restaurant, an
additional 15 years for the Champps Americana and Denny's
restaurants, and an additional 25 years for the Garden Ridge
store. The Leases contain rent clauses which entitle the
Partnership to receive additional rent in future years based
on stated rent increases. Certain lessees have been granted
options to purchase the property. Depending on the lease,
the purchase price is either determined by a formula, or is
the greater of the fair market value of the property or the
amount determined by a formula. In all cases, if the option
were to be exercised by the lessee, the purchase price would
be greater than the original cost of the property.
The Partnership's properties are all commercial, single-
tenant buildings. The cost of the property and related
accumulated depreciation at March 31, 1997 are as follows:

unsecured and is to be paid in the normal course of
business.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Partnership recognized rental income of $184,159 and $58,478,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership also
earned $165,451 and $117,857, respectively, in investment income
from subscriptions proceeds which were invested in short-term
money market accounts, commercial paper and federal agency notes.
This investment income constituted 47% and 67%, respectively, of
total income for the periods. The percentage of total income
represented by investment income declines as subscription
proceeds are invested in properties.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
Musicland Group, Inc. (MGI), the lessee of the Media Play
retail store in Apple Valley, Minnesota has recently experienced
financial difficulties and has aggressively been restructuring
its organization. As part of the restructuring, the Partnership
and MGI reached an agreement in December, 1996 in which MGI would
buy out and terminate the Lease Agreement by making a payment of
$800,000, which is equal to approximately two years' rent. The
Partnership's share of such payment was $272,000. Under the
Agreement, MGI remained in possession of the property and
performed all of its obligations under the net lease agreement
through January 31, 1997 at which time it vacated the property
and made it available for re-let to another tenant. MGI was
responsible for all maintenance and management costs of the
property through January 31, 1997 after which date the
Partnership became responsible for its share of expenses
associated with the property until it is re-let or sold. A
specialist in commercial property leasing has been retained to
locate a new tenant for the property.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $51,705 and $58,242, respectively. These
administration expenses include initial start-up costs and
expenses associated with processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. The
administrative expenses decrease after completion of the offering
and acquisition phases of the Partnership's operations. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $22,615 and $7,834, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit and accounting
costs, insurance and other property costs.
The Partnership distributes all of its net income during
the offering and acquisition phases, and if net income after
deductions for depreciation is not sufficient to fund the
distributions, the Partnership may distribute other available
cash that constitutes capital for accounting purposes.
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership's cash distribution
rate was 8.0% on an annualized basis. Distributions of Net Cash
Flow to the General Partners are 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.
Since the Partnership has only recently purchased its real
estate, inflation has had a minimal effect on income from
operations. The Leases contain cost of living increases to rent
which 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
The Partnership's primary sources of cash will be proceeds
from the sale of Units, investment income, rental income and
proceeds from the sale of property. Its primary uses of cash
will be investment in real properties, payment of expenses
involved in the sale of units, the organization of the
Partnership, the management of properties, the administration of
the Partnership, and the payment of distributions.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
The Partnership Agreement requires that no more than 15%
of the proceeds from the sale of Units be applied to expenses
involved in the sale of Units (including Commissions) and that
such expenses, together with acquisition expenses, not exceed 20%
of the proceeds from the sale of Units. As set forth under the
caption "Estimated Use of Proceeds" of the Prospectus, the
General Partners anticipate that 14% of such proceeds will be
applied to cover organization and offering expenses if the
maximum proceeds are obtained. To the extent organization and
offering expenses actually incurred exceed 15% of proceeds, they
are borne by the General Partners.
During the offering of Units, the Partnership's primary
source of cash flow will be from the sale of Limited Partnership
Units. The Partnership offered for sale up to $24,000,000 of
limited partnership interests (the "Units") (24,000 Units at
$1,000 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement effective
February 1, 1995. From February1, 1995 to April 14, 1995, the
minimum number of Limited Partnership Units (1,500) needed to
form the Partnership were sold and on April 14, 1995, a total of
2,937.444 Units ($2,937,444) were transferred into the
Partnership. On January 31, 1997, the Partnership offering
terminated when the maximum subscription limit of 24,000 Limited
Partnership Units ($24,000,000) was reached. From subscription
proceeds, the Partnership paid organization and syndication costs
(which constitute a reduction of capital) of $3,308,276.
Before the acquisition of properties, cash flow from
operating activities is not significant. Net income, after
adjustment for depreciation, is lower during the first few years
of operations as administrative expenses remain high and a large
amount of the Partnership's assets remain invested on a short-
term basis in lower-yielding cash equivalents. Net income will
become the largest component of cash flow from operating
activities and the largest component of cash flow after the
completion of the acquisition phase.
The Partnership Agreement requires that all proceeds from
the sale of Units be invested or committed to investment in
properties by the later of two years after the date of the
Prospectus or six months after termination of the offer and sale
of Units. While the Partnership is purchasing properties, cash
flow from investing activities (investment in real property) will
remain negative and will constitute the principal use of the
Partnership's available cash flow.
On March 28, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 40.75%
interest in a Garden Ridge store in Pineville, North Carolina for
$3,644,391. The property is leased to Garden Ridge, L.P. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments of $383,973. The remaining interest in the property was
purchased by AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.
On August 29, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 67.8%
interest in a Champps Americana restaurant in Columbus, Ohio for
$1,808,880. The property is leased to Americana Dining

XVIII Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
On March 14, 1997, the Partnership purchased a parcel of
land in San Antonio, Texas for $1,032,299. The land is leased to
Champps Americana, Inc. (Champps) under a Lease Agreement with a
primary term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $83,451.
The Partnership also entered into a Development Financing
Agreement under which the Partnership will advance funds to
Champps for the construction of a Champps Americana restaurant on
the site. The Partnership is charging interest on the advances
at a rate of 7.0%. The total purchase price, including the cost
of the land, will be approximately $2,804,000. After the
contruction is complete, the Lease Agreement will be amended to
require annual rental payments of approximately $300,000.
On March 19, 1997, the Partnership purchased a Denny's
restaurant in Covington, Louisiana for $1,278,779. The property
is leased to Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. under a Lease
Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments of $141,243.
On April 21, 1997, the Partnership purchased a 49.6%
interest in a parcel of land in Schaumburg, Illinois for
approximately $876,000. The land is leased to Champps under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments of approximately $67,000. The Partnership also entered
into a Development Financing Agreement under which the
Partnership will advance funds to Champps for the construction of
a Champps Americana restaurant on the site. The Partnership is
charging interest on the advances at a rate of 7.0%. The total
purchase price, including the cost of the land, will be
approximately $2,128,000. After the construction is complete,
the Lease Agreement will be amended to require annual rental
payments of approximately $229,000. The remaining interests in
the property are owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited
Partnership and Net Lease Income & Growth Fund 84-A Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a 93.1% interest in a Caribou Coffee store in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The purchase price will be
approximately $1,274,000. The property will be leased to Caribou
Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term
of 18 years and annual rental payments of approximately $146,000.
Through March 31, 1997, the Partnership had advanced $643,688 for
the construction of the property and was charging interest on the
Note at the rate of 7.0%. Effective March 7, 1997, the
Partnership began charging interest on the Note at the rate of
11.5%.
After completion of the acquisition phase, 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.
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. As of March
31, 1997, the Partnership has not acquired any Units from Limited
Partners.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
Until capital is invested in properties, the Partnership
will remain extremely liquid. At March 31, 1997, $9,453,883 or
47% of the Partnership's assets were in cash or cash equivalents
(including accrued interest receivable). After completion of
property acquisitions, the Partnership will attempt to maintain a
cash reserve of only approximately 1% of subscription proceeds.
Because properties are purchased for cash and leased under triple-
net leases, this is considered adequate to satisfy most
contingencies.
