Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 31, 1998, the Partnership, AEI Real Estate
Fund 85-A Limited Partnership, sold an Applebee's restaurant
in Harlingen, Texas to Renaissant Development Corporation,
who is not affiliated with the Partnership. The total cash
sales price was $1,861,904. The Partnership received net
proceeds of approximately $1,855,000 for the property, which
resulted in a net gain of approximately $576,000.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) A limited number of proforma adjustments are
required to illustrate the effects of the
transaction on the balance sheet and income
statement. The following narrative
description is furnished in lieu of the
proforma statements:
Assuming the Partnership had sold the property
on January 1, 1997, the Partnership's
Investments in Real Estate would have been
reduced by $1,354,193 and its Current Assets
(cash) would have increased by approximately
$1,855,000 and Partner's Capital would have
increased by $500,807.
The Total Income for the Partnership would
have decreased from $539,329 to $382,929 for
the year ended December 31, 1997 and from
$408,041 to $290,741 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 if the Partnership had not
owned the property during the periods.
Depreciation Expense would have decreased by
$37,706 and $28,279 for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, respectively.
Partnership Administration and Property
Management Expense would have decreased by
$878 and $312 for the year ended December 31,
1997 and the nine months ended September 30,
1998, respectively.
The net effect of these pro forma adjustments
would have caused Net Income to decrease from
$332,237 to $214,421 and from $379,139 to
$290,430, which would have resulted in Net
Income of $29.97 and $40.61 per Limited
Partnership Unit outstanding for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, respectively.
