PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
AEI Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership" or the "Registrant") is a limited partnership which
was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on
April 2, 1986. The registrant is comprised of AEI Fund
Management 86-A, Inc. (AFM) as Managing General Partner, Robert
P. Johnson as the Individual General Partner, and purchasers of
partnership units as Limited Partners. The Partnership offered
for sale up to $7,500,000 of limited partnership interests (the
"Units") (7,500 Units at $1,000 per Unit) pursuant to a
registration statement effective February 18, 1986. The
Partnership commenced operations on April 2, 1986 when minimum
subscriptions of 1,300 Limited Partnership Units ($1,300,000)
were accepted. The Partnership's offering terminated July 9,
1986 when the maximum subscription limit of 7,500 Limited
Partnership Units ($7,500,000) was reached.
The Partnership was organized to acquire, initially on a
debt-free basis, existing and newly constructed commercial
properties located in the United States, to lease such properties
to tenants under triple net leases, to hold such properties and
to eventually sell such properties. From subscription proceeds,
the Partnership purchased eight properties, including a partial
interest in one property, totaling $6,364,078. The balance of
the subscription proceeds was applied to organization and
syndication costs, working capital reserves and distributions,
which represented a return of capital. The properties were all
commercial, single tenant buildings, with the exception of the
Kearney office building, leased under triple net leases.
The Partnership will hold its properties until the General
Partners determine that the sale or other disposition of the
properties is advantageous in view of the Partnership's
investment objectives. In deciding whether to sell properties,
the General Partners will consider factors such as potential
appreciation, net cash flow and income tax considerations. In
addition, certain lessees have been granted options to purchase
properties after a specified portion of the lease term has
elapsed. At any time prior to selling the properties, the
Partnership may mortgage one or more of its properties in amounts
not exceeding 50% of the fair market value of the property.
Leases
Although there are variations in the specific terms of the
leases, the following is a summary of the general terms of the
Partnership's leases. The properties are leased to various
tenants under 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 for the property. The initial
lease terms are for 10 to 20 years. The leases provide for base
annual rental payments, payable in monthly installments, and
contain rent clauses which entitle the Partnership to receive
additional rent in future years based on stated rent increases or
if gross receipts for the property exceed certain specified
amounts, among other conditions.
The leases provide the lessees with two five-year renewal
options subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial
lease. 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.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued)
On February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the am/pm Mini
Market in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third party. The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of $955,401, which
resulted in a net gain of $554,742. At the time of sale, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was
$779,896 and $379,237, respectively.
The Partnership owned a 6.7522% interest in a Sizzler
restaurant in Springboro, Ohio. On July 21, 1998, the
Partnership sold the property to an unrelated third party. The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of $25,385, which resulted
in a net loss of $1,618. At the time of sale, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation of the property was $43,597 and
$16,594, respectively.
Major Tenants
During 1999, four of the Partnership's lessees each
contributed more than ten percent of the Partnership's total
rental revenue. The major tenants in aggregate contributed 91%
of the Partnership's total rental revenue in 1999. It is
anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments required
under the leases, each major tenant will continue to contribute
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental revenue
in 2000 and future years. Any failure of these major tenants
could materially affect the Partnership's net income and cash
distributions.
Competition
The Partnership is a minor factor in the commercial real
estate business. There are numerous entities engaged in the
commercial real estate business which have greater financial
resources than the Partnership. At the time the Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will be in
competition with other persons and entities to find buyers for
its properties.
Employees
The Partnership has no direct employees. Management
services are performed for the Partnership by AEI Fund
Management, Inc., an affiliate of AFM.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems that
use two-digits rather than four to define the applicable year,
which may prevent such systems from accurately processing dates
ending in the Year 2000 and beyond. This could result in
computer system failures or disruption of operations, including,
but not limited to, an inability to process transactions, to send
or receive electronic data, or to engage in routine business
activities.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services for the Partnership. In 1998, AEI completed an
assessment of its computer hardware and software systems and
replaced or upgraded certain computer hardware and software using
the assistance of outside vendors. AEI has received written
assurance from the equipment and software manufacturers as to
Year 2000 compliance. The costs associated with Year 2000
compliance have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
The Partnership is not aware of any issues related to Year 2000
non compliance with AEI systems or the systems of the various
tenants.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.
Investment Objectives
The Partnership's investment objectives were to acquire
existing or newly-developed commercial properties throughout the
United States that offer the potential for (i) preservation and
protection of the Partnership's capital; (ii) partially tax-
deferred cash distributions from operations which may increase
through rent participation clauses or mandated rent increases;
and (iii) long-term capital gains through appreciation in value
of the Partnership's properties realized upon sale. The
Partnership does not have a policy, and there is no limitation,
as to the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in
any one property. However, to the extent possible, the General
Partners attempt to diversify the type and location of the
Partnership's properties.
Description of Properties
The Partnership's properties are all commercial, single
tenant buildings. All the properties were acquired on a debt-
free basis and are leased to various tenants under triple net
leases, which are classified as operating leases. The Partnership
holds an undivided fee simple interest in the properties. At any
time prior to selling the properties, the Partnership may
mortgage one or more of its properties in amounts not exceeding
50% of the fair market value of the property.
The Partnership's properties are subject to the general
competitive conditions incident to the ownership of single tenant
investment real estate. Since each property is leased under a
long-term lease, there is little competition until the
Partnership decides to sell the property. At this time, the
Partnership will be competing with other real estate owners, on
both a national and local level, in attempting to find buyers for
the properties. In the event of a tenant default, the
Partnership would be competing with other real estate owners, who
have property vacancies, to attract a new tenant to lease the
property. The Partnership's tenants operate in industries that
are very competitive and can be affected by factors such as
changes in regional or local economies, seasonality and changes
in consumer preference.
The following table is a summary of the properties that
the Partnership acquired and owned as of December 31, 1999.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued)
AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership, owns the remaining
interest in the Taco Cabana restaurant. Each Partnership owns a
separate, undivided interest in the property. No specific
agreement or commitment exists between the Partnerships as to the
management of their respective interests in the property, and the
Partnership that holds more than a 50% interest does not control
decisions over the other Partnership's interest.
The initial Lease terms are for 15 years except for the
DeLisi's property which is 10 years. The Leases have renewal
options which may extend the lease term an additional 10 years.
Pursuant to the Lease Agreements, the tenants are required
to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage on the properties
they occupy. The General Partners believe the properties are
adequately covered by insurance and consider the properties to be
well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations.
For tax purposes, the Partnership's properties are
depreciated under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(MACRS). The largest depreciable component of a property is the
building which is depreciated, using the straight-line method,
over 31.5 years. The remaining depreciable components of a
property are personal property and land improvements which are
depreciated, using an accelerated method, over 5 and 15 years,
respectively. Since the Partnership has tax-exempt Partners, the
Partnership is subject to the rules of Section 168(h)(6) of the
Internal Revenue Code which requires a percentage of the
properties' depreciable components to be depreciated over longer
lives using the straight-line method. In general, the federal
tax basis of the properties for tax depreciation purposes is the
same as the basis for book depreciation purposes.
During the last five years, all properties were 100
percent occupied by the lessees noted.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
As of December 31, 1999, there were 924 holders of record
of the registrant's Limited Partnership Units. There is no other
class of security outstanding or authorized. The registrant's
Units are not a traded security in any market. However, the
Partnership may purchase 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 total 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.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND
RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS. (Continued)
During 1999, two Limited Partners redeemed a total of 4
Partnership Units for $504 in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement. In prior years, a total of sixty-two Limited Partners
redeemed 459.75 Partnership Units for $287,332. The redemptions
increase the remaining Limited Partners' ownership interest in
the Partnership.
Cash distributions of $2,763 and $14,421 were made to the
General Partners and $273,089 and $1,417,998 were made to the
Limited Partners in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
distributions were made on a quarterly basis and represent Net
Cash Flow, as defined, except as discussed below. These
distributions should not be compared with dividends paid on
capital stock by corporations.
As part of the Limited Partner distributions discussed
above, the Partnership distributed $1,130,000 of proceeds from
property sales in 1998. The distributions reduced the Limited
Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership recognized rental income of $411,765 and $425,510,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership earned
investment income of $10,831 and $21,249, respectively. In 1999,
rental income decreased mainly as a result of the sale of the
am/pm property discussed below. In 1998, investment income was
higher as the sale proceeds were invested in short-term
investments until they were distributed to the Partners in April,
1998.
During the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $99,560 and $108,368, 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 $8,966 and $19,769, 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.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership's annualized cash
distribution rate was 6.75%, 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.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer systems that
use two-digits rather than four to define the applicable year,
which may prevent such systems from accurately processing dates
ending in the Year 2000 and beyond. This could result in
computer system failures or disruption of operations, including,
but not limited to, an inability to process transactions, to send
or receive electronic data, or to engage in routine business
activities.
AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI) performs all management
services for the Partnership. In 1998, AEI completed an
assessment of its computer hardware and software systems and
replaced or upgraded certain computer hardware and software using
the assistance of outside vendors. AEI has received written
assurance from the equipment and software manufacturers as to
Year 2000 compliance. The costs associated with Year 2000
compliance have not been, and are not expected to be, material.
The Partnership is not aware of any issues related to Year 2000
non compliance with AEI systems or the systems of the various
tenants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 1999, the Partnership's cash balances increased
$41,714 as the Partnership distributed less cash to the Partners
than it generated for operating activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased from $313,527 in 1998 to $315,924
in 1999.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $980,786 in
1998, which represented cash generated from the sale of real
estate.
On February 20, 1998, the Partnership sold the am/pm Mini
Market in Carson City, Nevada to an unrelated third party. The
Partnership received net sale proceeds of $955,401, which
resulted in a net gain of $554,742. At the time of sale, the
cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property was
$779,896 and $379,237, respectively.
On July 21, 1998, the Partnership sold the Sizzler
property to an unrelated third party. The Partnership received
net sale proceeds of $25,385, which resulted in a net loss of
$1,618. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation of the property was $43,597 and $16,594,
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.
In April, 1998, the Partnership distributed $1,141,414 of
net sale proceeds to the Limited and General Partners as a
special distribution, which represented a return of capital of
$159.06 per Limited Partnership Unit. In 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership paid regular distributions at approximately the same
rate based on the Limited Partner's Adjusted Capital
Contribution. The special distribution of sale proceeds reduced
the Adjusted Capital Contribution, which resulted in a reduction
in distributions in 1999.
The Partnership may purchase 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 total 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.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
During 1999, two Limited Partners redeemed a total of 4
Partnership Units for $504 in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement. The Partnership acquired these Units using Net Cash
Flow from operations. In prior years, a total of sixty-two
Limited Partners redeemed 459.75 Partnership Units for $287,332.
The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Partners'
ownership interest in the Partnership.
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.
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The foregoing 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:
<BULLET> Market and economic conditions which affect
the value of the properties the Partnership owns and
the cash from rental income such properties generate;
<BULLET> the federal income tax consequences of rental
income, deductions, gain on sales and other items and
the affects of these consequences for investors;
<BULLET> resolution by the General Partners of
conflicts with which they may be confronted;
<BULLET> the success of the General Partners of
locating properties with favorable risk return
characteristics;
<BULLET> the effect of tenant defaults; and
<BULLET> the condition of the industries in which the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(1) Organization -
AEI Real Estate Fund 86-A Limited Partnership (Partnership)
was formed to acquire and lease commercial properties to
operating tenants. The Partnership's operations are managed
by AEI Fund Management 86-A, 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 April 2, 1986 when minimum
subscriptions of 1,300 Limited Partnership Units
($1,300,000) were accepted. The offering terminated on July
9, 1986 when the maximum subscription limit of 7,500 Limited
Partnership Units ($7,500,000) was reached.
Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, the
Limited Partners and General Partners contributed funds of
$7,500,000 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.
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 l% 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(1) Organization - (Continued)
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.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -
Financial Statement Presentation
The accounts of the Partnership are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting for both federal income tax
purposes and financial reporting purposes.
Accounting Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing
these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
AEI REAL ESTATE FUND 86-A LIMITED PARTNERSHlP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)
The Partnership regularly assesses whether market events
and conditions indicate that it is reasonably possible to
recover the carrying amounts of its investments in real
estate from future operations and sales. A change in
those market events and conditions could have a material
effect on the carrying amount of its real estate.
Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk
At times throughout the year, the Partnership's cash
deposited in financial institutions may exceed FDIC
insurance limits.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents may include cash in checking, cash invested
in money market accounts, certificates of deposit,
federal agency notes and commercial paper with a term of
three months or less.
Income Taxes
The income or loss of the Partnership for federal income
tax reporting purposes is includable in the income tax
returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has
been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements.
The tax return, the qualification of the Partnership as
such for tax purposes, and the amount of distributable
Partnership income or loss are subject to examination by
federal and state taxing authorities. If such an
examination results in changes with respect to the
Partnership qualification or in changes to distributable
Partnership income or loss, the taxable income of the
partners would be adjusted accordingly.
Real Estate
The Partnership's real estate is leased under triple net
leases classified as operating leases. The Partnership
recognizes rental revenue on the accrual basis according
to the terms of the individual leases. For leases which
contain cost of living increases, the increases are
recognized in the year in which they are effective.
Real estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
net realizable value. The Partnership compares the
carrying amount of its properties to the estimated future
cash flows expected to result from the property and its
eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
property, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss
by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
property exceeds the fair value of the property.
The Partnership has capitalized as Investments in Real
Estate certain costs incurred in the review and
acquisition of the properties. The costs were allocated
to the land, buildings and equipment.
AEI REAL ESTATE FUND 86-A LIMITED PARTNERSHlP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)
The buildings and equipment of the Partnership are
depreciated using the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives of 30
years and 10 years respectively.
(3) Related Party Transactions -
The Partnership owns a 61.7638% interest in the Taco Cabana
restaurant. The remaining interest in this property is
owned by AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership. The
Partnership owned a 6.7522% interest in the Sizzler
restaurant. The remaining interest in this property was
owned by AEI Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership, an
affiliate of the Partnership.
Each Partnership owns a separate, undivided interest in the
properties. No specific agreement or commitment exists
between the Partnerships as to the management of their
respective interest in the properties, and the Partnership
that holds more than a 50% interest does not control
decisions over the other Partnership's interest. The
financial statements reflect only this Partnership's
percentage share of the properties' land, building and
equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
AEI and AFM received the following compensation and
reimbursements for costs and expenses from the Partnership:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
(4) Investments in Real Estate -
The Partnership leases its properties to various tenants
through 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 for 15 years except for the DeLisi's property
which is 10 years. The Leases have renewal options which
may extend the lease term an additional 10 years. The
Leases contain rent clauses which entitle the Partnership to
receive additional rent in future years based on stated rent
increases or if gross receipts for the property exceed
certain specified amounts, among other conditions. 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 properties. The Taco Cabana restaurant was
constructed and acquired in 1991. All the remaining
properties were constructed and acquired in 1987. There
have been no costs capitalized as improvements subsequent to
the acquisitions.
The cost of the properties and related accumulated
depreciation at December 31, 1999 are as follows:
