                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           (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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

(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.

       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.

paragraph 1 above.

2.   Property. The Property to be sold to Buyer in this
transaction is legally described on Exhibit A attached
hereto and as listed in paragraph 1 above, subject to all
easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions and
agreements of record that do not affect marketability of
title or affect adversely the use of the Property accepted
by Buyer after Buyer's review of title as set forth below
in paragraph 9 ("Permitted Exceptions").

3.   Purchase Price. The purchase price for this Property
and Personalty is $792,500 cash subject to prorations, based

escrow, to be deposited into Escrow with Chicago Title
Insurance Company, Attn: Mary Furgason, 14607 San Pedro,
Suite 175, San Antonio, Texas 78232 ("Escrowee"). The First
Payment will be credited against the Purchase Price when and
if escrow closes and the sale is completed, or otherwise
disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The
First Payment shall be deposited by the Escrowee in an
interest bearing account (with risk of loss born by Buyer)
and all interest thereon shall be paid to Buyer free and

irrespective of how the First Payment is disbursed
hereunder.

     (b) When this Agreement is executed, Buyer will also
pay $50 in cash or good funds directly to Seller ("Option
Consideration"), which shall be in consideration for

considered non-refundable if this Agreement is terminated
for any reason.

     (c) Thirty days after the delivery of the Due Diligence
Materials (as defined below) required to be delivered by

shall be non-refundable, unless Seller shall default
hereunder. The Second Payment will be credited against the
Purchase Price when and if escrow closes and the sale is
completed, or otherwise disbursed pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.  The First and Second Payment shall be
deposited by the Escrowee in an interest bearing account
(with risk of loss born by Buyer) and all interest thereon
shall be paid to Buyer free and clear of any claim by
Seller, Escrowee, or any other party irrespective of how the
First and Second Payment is disbursed hereunder.

     (d) At the Closing, Buyer will pay the balance of the
purchase price for the Property in cash or good funds (the

5.   Closing Date.  Escrow shall close at the Title Company
on the earlier to occur of 15 days after the expiration of
the Review Period (as defined below) or upon 5 days written
notice from the Buyer to the Seller.  Buyer shall
acknowledge in writing the tolling of the Review
Period upon the submission by Seller of the last of the Due
Diligence Materials.

6.   Not Applicable - Intentionally left blank.

7.   Due Diligence. Buyer will have until thirty days after
the delivery of each of the following documents to be
delivered by Seller as set forth below (the "Review
Period"), to conduct all of its inspections and due
diligence and satisfy itself regarding title to the
Property, and to inspect the condition of the Property.  The
Closing Date shall be automatically extended by the number
of days necessary to give Buyer thirty days to review any
item required to be delivered by the Seller to the Buyer
hereunder.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller
harmless for any loss or damage to the Property or persons
caused by Buyer or its agents arising out of such physical
inspections of the Property. Except for warranties of title
and as otherwise set forth herein, Buyer expressly
acknowledges that the sale of the Property as provided for
herein is made on an "AS IS" basis, and such provision shall
survive closing.

     Seller at Seller's cost and expense agrees to provide
to Buyer the following items, to which Buyer's right to
object absent subsequent material change to the same, shall
extend for thirty days from the date such item has been
deposited in recognized overnight courier:

     (a) A current commitment for an Owner's TLTA Policy of
title insurance (see paragraph 9 below) dated after the date
hereof, issued to Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price,
accompanied by copies of all documents constituting
exceptions to title.

     (b) Copies of a Certificate of Occupancy and other such
documentation in Seller's possession certifying as to the
completion of the original structure and improvements on the
Property;

     (c) Copy of an "as-built" survey of the Property dated
May 15, 1997, updated to a date after the date hereof and
certified to Buyer.

     (d) Any evidence in Seller's possession respecting
inventory of and ownership of the Personalty on the
Property, which Seller's interest in such Personalty is
being transferred to Buyer by Quit Claim Bill of Sale.

     (e) To the extent in Seller's possession, a set of the
"as-built" plans and specifications for the improvements on
the Property, provided, in the event that the Closing does
not occur, Buyer shall return such plans and specifications
to Seller.

     (f) Copies of the most recent tax statement for the
Property as may be in Seller's possession.

     Buyer may cancel this Agreement for any reason in its
sole discretion by delivering a cancellation notice by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal
delivery to Seller and Escrowee, if delivered on or before
the expiration of the Review Period. Such notice shall be
deemed effective only upon receipt (as defined by
Subparagraph 19(d)) by Seller.  Subject to Section 17 below,
if this Agreement is not canceled as set forth above, the
FirstPayment shall be non-refundable unless Seller shall
default hereunder.

     If Buyer cancels this Agreement as permitted under this
Section, except for one-half of any escrow cancellation
fees; and any liabilities under Section 11 or 16 of this
Agreement (which will survive), Buyer (after execution of
such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence
the termination hereof) shall be returned its First Payment,
and Buyer will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest
of any type in connection with the Property or this
transaction, regardless of any alleged conduct by Seller or
anyone else.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First and
Second Payment shall become non-refundable in accordance
with paragraph 4(c) above.

     Unless Seller shall be in default of any obligation
hereunder, or this Agreement is canceled by Buyer pursuant
to the terms hereof, if Buyer fails to make the Final
Payment, Seller shall be entitled to retain the First and
Second Payment and Buyer irrevocably will be deemed to have
canceled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and to
the Property.  If this Agreement is not canceled and the
Final Payment is made when required, all of Buyer's
conditions and contingencies will be deemed satisfied.

8.   Escrow. Escrow shall be opened by Seller and the First
Payment (delivered herewith by Buyer to Escrowee) shall be
deposited by Buyer with Escrowee upon presentation of this
agreement executed by Buyer for Seller's acceptance.

9.   Title. Closing will be conditioned on the commitment of
a title company issued by the Escrowee to issue a TLTA
Owner's policy of title insurance, dated as of the close of
escrow, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, insuring
that Buyer will own indefeasible and insurable fee simple
title to the Property subject only to: the Permitted
Exceptions;  current real property taxes and assessments;
and survey exceptions on the Survey.

     Buyer shall be allowed until the expiration of the
Review Period for examination of the commitment and survey
and the making of any objections to title and survey
thereto, or that an exception to title adversely affects the
use of the Property, said objections to be made in
writing or deemed waived. Escrowee shall provide Seller with
a copy of said title commitment.  If any objections thereto
are so made by Buyer, the Seller shall be allowed ten (10)
days to cure Buyer's objections, or in the alternative to
obtain a commitment for insurable title insuring over
Buyer's objections.  If Seller shall decide to make no
efforts to cure such objections, (after execution by Buyer
of such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence
the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be
returned and this agreement shall be null and void and of no
further force and effect.

     Pending correction of title, the payments after the
First Payment hereunder required shall be postponed, but
upon correction of title and within ten (10) days after
written notice of correction to the Buyer, the parties shall
perform this agreement according to its terms.

     If Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller
within the Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to
the status of title reflected by the Commitment and/or the
Survey, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived any such
objections.

10.  Closing Costs.  Seller will pay the cost of the current
updated survey certified to Buyer (with the cost of any
revisions thereto to correct inaccuracies or omissions being
borne by the Seller, but all other costs of revisions to be
born by Buyer), state deed tax stamps, if any, and one-half
of escrow fees, and any brokerage commissions payable except
those brokerage commissions incurred by Buyer.  Buyer shall
pay for the cost of the standard TLTA Owner's Policy in
favor of Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price, if Buyer
shall decide to purchase the same.  Buyer will pay the cost 
of any recording fees for the deed, endorsements to the Owner's 
policy, (if Buyer shall decide to purchase the same) and one-half
of the escrow fees.  Each party will pay its own attorneys' fees
and costs to document and close this transaction.

11.  Real Estate Taxes, Special Assessments and Prorations.
Seller represents that all real estate taxes and
installments of special or other assessments due and payable
in 1996, for 1996 and all years prior to the year of Closing
have been paid in full.  Responsibility for real estate
taxes and special assessments shall be prorated as of the
Closing Date based upon the most recently available tax bill
for taxes for the year in which Closing shall occur, with
readjustment for the taxes for the year in which Closing
shall occur if the same are not presently known in the year
in which Closing shall occur.  All real estate taxes and
special or other assessments assessed and due and payable
for the years following the year in which closing occurs
shall otherwise be the responsibility of Buyer.  The parties
agree to execute a tax proration agreement at closing
reflecting the above understanding.  All operating expenses
relating to the Property incurred for or arising out of any
period prior to (or if incurred by Seller, after) Closing
shall be paid by Seller, and any operating expenses relating
to the Property incurred for the period after closing
(unless incurred by Seller) shall be the responsibility of 
Buyer.  If during the Buyer's Review Period, utility expenses 
for the Property shall exceed the average monthly utility 
charges for the Property in the prior three month period as a 
direct result of Buyer's or Buyer's agent's review of the 
Property, Buyer shall be responsible for such excess and shall 
promptly pay such excess upon presentation by Seller of 
reasonable written evidence of such charges.  Buyer's liability 
for such excess utility charges shall survive closing or the
termination of this Agreement.

12.  Seller's Representation and Agreements.

     (a)  Seller represents and warrants as of this date
that:

     (i)  The Property is not subject to any oral or written
leases, service contracts, brokerage or other agreements
which shall survive closing or parties in possession, other
than the Permitted Exceptions.

     (ii)  It is not aware of any pending or threatened
litigation or condemnation proceedings or assessments,
special or otherwise, against the Property, Seller, or
Seller's interest in the Property.

     (iii)  Seller has not entered into any oral contracts
or executed any contracts or any other agreement of any
nature that would be binding on Buyer after the closing
date.

     (iv)  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed, and delivered by
Seller, Seller shall perform, execute and deliver or cause
to be performed, executed, and delivered at the Closing or
after the Closing, any and all further acts, deeds and
assurances the Escrowee may require and Seller deems to be
reasonable in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein.

     (v)  Seller has all requisite power and authority to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
and has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby and all documents
contemplated thereby.

     (vi)  To best of Seller's knowledge, neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the

federal, state or local law, ordinance or regulations
relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental

extent that Seller has knowledge of any hazardous substances
or materials on or in connection with the Property which

that Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer or
Buyer's successors, assigns, or affiliates in connection
with any Hazardous Substance on or in connection with the
Property either before or after the Closing Date.  The term

waste, toxic substances, polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos
or related materials, including but not limited to,
substances defined as "hazardous substance(s)," "toxic
substance(s)," "hazardous waste," "pollutant," or
"contaminant" in the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42
U.S.C. Sec. 9061, et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Hazardous
Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Sec. 6901, et seq.,
the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976

laws, statutes, regulations, requirements and ordinances.
The term does include petroleum, including crude oil or any
fraction thereof, natural gas and natural gas liquids,
liquefied natural gas, and synthetic gas usable for fuel or
mixtures thereof.

     (b)  Subject to Seller's representations contained in
this Agreement, including subparagraphs 13(a) above, Buyer
agrees that it shall be purchasing the Property in its then
present condition, as is, where is, and Seller has no
obligations to construct or repair any improvements thereon
or to perform any other act regarding the Property, except
as expressly provided herein.

     (c)  Buyer acknowledges that, having been given the
opportunity to inspect the Property as Buyer or its advisors
shall request, Buyer is relying solely on its own
investigation of the Property and not on any information
provided by Seller or to be provided except as set forth
herein.  Buyer expressly acknowledges that, in consideration
of the agreements of Seller herein, except as otherwise
specified herein, Seller makes no warranty or
representation, express or implied, or arising by operation
of law, including, but not limited to, any warranty or
condition, habitability, tenantability, suitability for
commercial purposes,  merchantability, profitability or
fitness for a particular purpose, in respect of the
Property.

     The provisions (a) through (c) shall survive closing.

14.  Closing.

     (a)  Before the Closing Date, Seller will deposit into
escrow a Quit Claim Bill of Sale, a standard Seller's
Affidavit regarding liens and judgments and an executed
Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
C (with the list of Permitted Exceptions to be attached when
determined according to the terms hereof) conveying
indefeasible and insurable fee simple title of the Property
to Buyer, subject to the Permitted Exceptions, and will
provide Buyer with an affidavit that Seller is not a
"foreign person".

     (b)  On or before the Closing Date, Buyer will deposit
into escrow: the balance of the Purchase Price when required
under paragraph 4 and any additional funds required of
Buyer, (pursuant to this agreement or any other agreement
executed by Buyer) to close escrow.  Both parties will sign
and deliver to the Escrowee any other documents reasonably
required by the Escrowee to close escrow.

     (c)  On the Closing Date, if escrow is in a position to
close, the Escrowee will: cause the title company to commit
to issue the title policy; immediately deliver to Seller the
portion of the purchase price deposited into escrow by
cashier's check or wire transfer (less debits and
prorations, if any); deliver to Seller and Buyer a signed
counterpart of the Escrowee's certified closing statement
and take all other actions necessary to close escrow.

15.  Defaults.  If Buyer defaults beyond 10 days notice and
opportunity to cure, Buyer will forfeit all rights and
claims and Seller will be relieved of all obligations and
will be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to retain
the First and\or if made the Second Payment heretofore paid
by the Buyer,

     If Seller shall default, Buyer may terminate this
Agreement and receive the return of the First and/or if made
the Second Payment or evoke specific performance of this
Agreement.  Buyer irrevocably waives any rights to file a
lis pendens, or any other claim, action or proceeding of any
type in connection with the Property or this or any other
transaction involving the Property, and will not do anything
to affect title to the Property or hinder, delay or prevent
any other sale, lease or other transaction involving the
Property (any and all of which will be null and void), unless: 
it has paid the First and Second ayment, deposited the balance
of the Final Payment for the purchase price into escrow, 
performed all of its other obligations and satisfied all
conditions under this Agreement, and unconditionally 
notifies Seller that it stands ready to tender full 
performance, purchase the Property and close escrow as per 
this Agreement.  Provided, however, that in no event shall
Seller be liable for any actual, punitive, consequential or 
speculative damages arising out of any default by Seller hereunder.

16.  Buyer's Representations and Warranties.

     Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

     (i)  In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein
and contemplated to be performed, executed, and delivered by
Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause to

after the Closing, any and all further acts, deeds and
assurances as the Escrowee may require and Buyer deems to be
reasonable in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated herein.

     (ii)  Buyer has all requisite power and authority to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
and has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby.

     (iii)  To Buyer's knowledge, neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby will violate or be in

order of any court or other agency of government having
jurisdiction hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument to
which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.

     (iv)   Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller
harmless from any and all claim of any persons or entities
claiming a brokerage or other fee arising out of
representation of Buyer or through or on behalf of Buyer
with respect to this Agreement or the transactions

17.  Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.

     (a)  If, prior to closing, the Property or any part
thereof be destroyed or damaged by fire, the elements, or
any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of
this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds
$10,000 this Agreement shall become null and void, at
Buyer's option exercised, if at all, by written notice to
Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written
notice from Seller of said destruction or damage, and the
First Payment and Second Payment shall be returned to Buyer.
Seller, however, shall have the right to adjust or settle
any insured loss until any ten day period provided for above
in this Subparagraph 17a for Buyer to elect to terminate
this Agreement has expired or Buyer has, by written notice
to Seller, waived Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement.
If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase
despite said damage or destruction, there shall be no
reduction in or abatement of the purchase price, and Seller
shall pay the deductible and deliver any proceeds actually
received by Seller (up to the amount of the Purchase Price,
with any excess proceeds, if any, belonging to Seller) and
assign to Buyer the Seller's right, title, and interest in
and to all insurance proceeds resulting from said damage or
destruction to the extent that the same are payable with
respect to damage to the Property.

     If the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Buyer
shall be obligated to otherwise perform hereunder with no
adjustment to the Purchase Price, reduction or abatement,
and Seller shall pay the deductible and deliver any proceeds
actually received by Seller (up to the amount of the
Purchase Price, with excess proceeds, if any, remaining the
sole property of Seller) and assign Seller's right, title
and interest in and to all insurance proceeds.

     (b)  If, prior to closing, the Property, or any part
thereof, is taken (other than as disclosed in writing to
Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement) by eminent domain
or voluntarily conveyed by Seller in lieu of eminent domain,
this Agreement shall become null and void, at Buyer's option
and the First Payment and Second Payment shall be returned
to Buyer.  If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the
purchase despite said taking, there shall be no reduction
in, or abatement of, the purchase price, and Seller shall
assign to Buyer all the Seller's right, title, and interest
in and to any award made, or to be made, in the condemnation
proceeding, and deliver any award actually received by
Seller up to the amount of the Purchase Price.

     Notwithstanding anything herein in this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is terminated
by Buyer as provided above in Subparagraph 17a or 17b, the
First and Second Payment shall be immediately returned to
Buyer (after execution by Buyer of such documents reasonably 
requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof).

18.  Cancellation  If any party elects to cancel this
Agreement because of any breach by another party, the party
electing to cancel shall deliver to Escrowee a notice
containing the address of the party in breach and stating
that this Agreement shall be canceled.  Within three days
after receipt of such notice, the Escrowee shall send it by
United States Mail to the party in breach at the address
contained in the Notice and no further notice shall be
required.

19.  Miscellaneous.

     (a)  This Agreement may be amended only by written
agreement signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers
must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.  Time is
of the essence.  This Agreement will not be construed for or
against a party whether or not that party has drafted this
Agreement.  If there is any action or proceeding between the
parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will
be entitled to recover attorney's fees and costs.  This is
an integrated agreement containing all agreements of the
parties about the Property and the other matters described,
and it supersedes any other agreements or understandings.
Exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated into
this Agreement.  Buyer has the right to assign this
Agreement to another party without Seller's consent, but
shall not be binding upon Seller until receipt of written
notice thereof, and provided, further, that Buyer shall
remain liable for the obligations of Buyer hereunder until
the same are fulfilled or this Agreement is terminated
according to the provisions hereof.

     (b)  If escrow has not closed through no fault of
Seller, by the Closing Date (if not sooner terminated by
either party according to their right to do so under the
terms hereof), Seller may either, at its election, extend
the closing date, exercise any remedy available to it by
law, including terminate this Agreement.

     (c)  Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer will be
good and clear funds in the form of cash, cashier's checks
or wire transfers.

     (d)  All notices from either of the parties hereto to
the other shall be in writing and shall be considered to
have been duly given or served if sent by first class
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
or by Federal Express or UPS Overnight, or other reputable
overnight courier, guaranteeing overnight delivery to the
