                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                
                         MARCH 31, 1999
                                
                           (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 -

     The Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant  in
     Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995, the
     Partnership  re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex  Cocina  of
     Waco,  L.C.   The  Lease Agreement had  a  primary  term  of
     eighteen  months with an annual rental payment  of  $29,752.
     In  December,  1997, the lessee elected not to exercise  the
     renewal option in the lease.  The restaurant was closed  and
     is  listed for sale or lease.  While the property is vacant,
     the Partnership is responsible for the real estate taxes and
     other costs required to maintain the property.
     
     As  of  December  31, 1997, based on an analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the   Partnership's  interest  in  the  Waco  property   was
     approximately $385,600.  In the fourth quarter  of  1997,  a
     charge  to operations for real estate impairment of $100,000
     was  recognized,  which is the difference between  the  book
     value  at  December 31, 1997 of $485,600 and  the  estimated
     fair value of $385,600.  The charge was recorded against the
     cost  of  the  land  and building.  In December,  1998,  the
     Partnership  re-analyzed the market conditions in  the  area
     and  determined the fair value of the Partnership's interest
     declined  to approximately $154,300.  In the fourth  quarter
     of  1998,  a charge to operations for real estate impairment
     of  $221,000 was recognized, which is the difference between
     book  value  at  December  31,  1998  of  $375,300  and  the
     estimated  fair value of $154,300.  The charge was  recorded
     against the cost of the land and building.
     
     In March, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
     sell  the  Waco property to an unrelated third  party.   The
     sale  is  contingent upon the completion of the  purchaser's
     due  diligence.   If  the transaction  is  consummated,  the
     Partnership  will receive net sale proceeds of approximately
     $160,000.

     In  December, 1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc.  (GCR), the
     lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in  Slidell,  Louisiana,
     filed for  reorganization.   GCR  is  continuing to make the
     lease  payments to  the Partnership under the supervision of
     the  bankruptcy  court while  they  develop a reorganization
     plan.  If the Lease is assumed, GCR  must  comply  with  all
     Lease terms and any upaid rent must be paid.  If  the  Lease
     is rejected, GCR will be required  to  return  possession of
     the property to  the  Partnership  and past due amounts will
     be  dismissed  and  the  Partnership will be responsible for
     re-leasing  the  property.   At  March  31,  1999,  GCR owed
     $19,197 for rent  due  prior  to  the  date  of  filing  for
     reorganization.   An  analysis  of  the operating statements
     of this property  indicate  that  it  is  generating profits
     and  it  is  management's belief  that  the  Lease  will  be
     assumed by GCR.
     
     In  January, 1996, the Cheddar's restaurant in Indianapolis,
     Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The Partnership reached an
     agreement with the tenant and insurance company which called
     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.  As
     of  December  31,  1997,  based on  an  analysis  of  market
     conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of
     the  Partnership's  interest in the land  was  approximately
     $200,000.   In  the  fourth quarter of  1997,  a  charge  to
     operations  for  real  estate  impairment  of  $54,000   was
     recognized, which is the difference between the  book  value
     at  December  31,  1997 of $253,747 and the  estimated  fair
     value  of $200,000.  In December, 1998, the Partnership  re-
     analyzed  the  market conditions in the area and  determined
     the  fair  value of the Partnership's interest in  the  land
     declined  to approximately $175,000.  In the fourth  quarter
     of  1998,  a charge to operations for real estate impairment
     of  $25,000 was recognized, which is the difference  between
     the  book  value  at December 31, 1998 of $200,000  and  the
     estimated fair value of $175,000.
     
     In February, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement
     to  sell  the  Fuddruckers  in St.  Louis,  Missouri  to  an
     unrelated  third  party.  The sale is  contingent  upon  the
     completion  of  the  purchaser's  due  diligence.   If   the
     transaction is consummated, the Partnership will receive net
     sales proceeds of approximately $770,000.

(3)  Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)

     During  the  first  three months of  1998,  the  Partnership
     distributed $13,345 of net sale proceeds to the Limited  and
     General  Partners  as  a  part of  their  regular  quarterly
     distributions,  which  represented a return  of  capital  of
     $0.95  per  Limited Partnership Unit.  In April,  1998,  the
     Partnership distributed $707,071 of net sale proceeds to the
     Limited and General Partners, which represented a return  of
     capital of $50.29 per Limited Partnership Unit.

(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 March 31, 1999 and December  31,  1998,
     the  Partnership has recognized $105,507 and $99,954 of this
     payment  as  income.   At  March  31,  1999,  the  remaining
     deferred  income  of  $20,894 was prepaid  rent  related  to
     certain other Partnership properties.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

        For  the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  the
Partnership  recognized rental income of $261,166  and  $256,896,
respectively.   During the same periods, the  Partnership  earned
investment  income of $756 and $10,959, respectively.   In  1998,
investment  income  was  higher  as  sale  proceeds  received  in
December, 1997 were invested in short-term investments until they
were distributed to the Partners in April, 1998.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        The  Partnership owns a 55.0958% interest in a restaurant
in  Waco, Texas, which was previously closed.  In June 1995,  the
Partnership re-leased the restaurant to Tex-Mex Cocina  of  Waco,
L.C.   The Lease Agreement had a primary term of eighteen  months
with an annual rental payment of $29,752.  In December, 1997, the
lessee  elected not to exercise the renewal option in the  lease.
The restaurant was closed and is listed for sale or lease.  While
the  property is vacant, the Partnership is responsible  for  the
real  estate  taxes  and  other costs required  to  maintain  the
property.

        As  of  December 31, 1997, based on an analysis of market
conditions in the area, it was determined the fair value  of  the
Partnership's  interest  in the Waco property  was  approximately
$385,600.   In the fourth quarter of 1997, a charge to operations
for  real estate impairment of $100,000 was recognized, which  is
the  difference between the book value at December  31,  1997  of
$485,600  and the estimated fair value of $385,600.   The  charge
was  recorded  against  the cost of the land  and  building.   In
December, 1998, the Partnership re-analyzed the market conditions
in  the  area  and determined the fair value of the Partnership's
interest  declined  to  approximately $154,300.   In  the  fourth
quarter  of  1998,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $221,000 was recognized, which is the  difference
between  book  value  at December 31, 1998 of  $375,300  and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $154,300.  The  charge  was  recorded
against the cost of the land and building.

        In March, 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to  sell the Waco property to an unrelated third party.  The sale
is   contingent  upon  the  completion  of  the  purchaser's  due
diligence.   If  the transaction is consummated, the  Partnership
will receive net sale proceeds of approximately $160,000.

        In December,1998, Gulf Coast Restaurants, Inc. (GCR), the
lessee of the Applebee's restaurant in  Slidell, Louisiana, filed
for reorganization.  GCR is continuing to make the lease payments
to  the Partnership under the supervision of the bankruptcy court
while they develop a reorganization plan. If the Lease is assumed,
GCR  must  comply with all Lease terms and any upaid rent must be
paid.  If the Lease is rejected, GCR will be required  to  return
possession  of  the  property  to  the  Partnership  and past due
amounts will be dismissed and the Partnership will be responsible
for  re-leasing  the  property.   At  March  31,  1999,  GCR owed
$19,197  for  rent   due   prior  to   the   date  of  filing for
reorganization.  An analysis of  the operating statements of this
property  indicate  that  it  is  generating  profits and  it  is
management's belief  that  the  Lease  will  be   assumed by GCR.


       During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Partnership   paid   Partnership   administration   expenses   to
affiliated  parties of $52,114 and $58,570, 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  $14,671 and $19,237, 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 March 31, 1999, the Partnership's annualized  cash
distribution   rate  was  5%,  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.

       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.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        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  has
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 intends to monitor and communicate  with
tenants regarding Year 2000 compliance, although there can be  no
assurance  that the systems of the various tenants will  be  Year
2000 compliant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        During  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999,  the
Partnership's cash balances increased $32,713 as the  Partnership
distributed  less  cash to the Partners than  it  generated  from
operating  activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities
decreased from  $215,688 in 1998 to $186,263 in 1999 mainly as  a
result  of  a  decrease in total income in 1999  and  net  timing
differences  in the collection of payments from the  lessees  and
the  payment  of  expenses,  which were  partially  offset  by  a
decrease in expenses in 1999.

         In   January,   1996,   the  Cheddar's   restaurant   in
Indianapolis,  Indiana was destroyed by a fire.  The  Partnership
reached an agreement with the tenant and insurance company  which
called  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.   As  of
December  31, 1997, based on an analysis of market conditions  in
the  area,  it was determined the fair value of the Partnership's
interest  in the land was approximately $200,000.  In the  fourth
quarter  of  1997,  a  charge  to  operations  for  real   estate
impairment  of  $54,000 was recognized, which is  the  difference
between  the book value at December 31, 1997 of $253,747 and  the
estimated  fair  value  of  $200,000.   In  December,  1998,  the
Partnership  re-analyzed the market conditions in  the  area  and
determined  the fair value of the Partnership's interest  in  the
land  declined to approximately $175,000.  In the fourth  quarter
of  1998,  a  charge to operations for real estate impairment  of
$25,000 was recognized, which is the difference between the  book
value  at  December 31, 1998 of $200,000 and the  estimated  fair
value of $175,000.

        In  February,  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into  an
agreement  to sell the Fuddruckers in St. Louis, Missouri  to  an
unrelated  third  party.   The  sale  is  contingent   upon   the
completion  of the purchaser's due diligence.  If the transaction
is  consummated, the Partnership will receive net sales  proceeds
of approximately $770,000.

       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.   The  redemption payments generally are funded  with  cash
that  would  normally  be paid as part of the  regular  quarterly
distributions.    As   a   result,   total   distributions    and
distributions payable have fluctuated from year to  year  due  to
cash used to fund redemption payments.


ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS  (Continued)

        During  the  first three months of 1998, the  Partnership
distributed  $13,345  of net sale proceeds  to  the  Limited  and
General   Partners   as  a  part  of  their   regular   quarterly
distributions, which represented a return of capital of $0.95 per
Limited  Partnership  Unit.   In  April,  1998,  the  Partnership
distributed  $707,071 of net sale proceeds  to  the  Limited  and
General  Partners as a special distribution, which represented  a
return  of  capital of $50.29 per Limited Partnership Unit.   The
distribution  reduced  the  Limited  Partners'  Adjusted  Capital
Contribution.    Effective  April  1,  1998,  the   Partnership's
distribution  rate was reduced from 6.0% to 5.0% on  the  reduced
capital  balance.   As a result, distributions during  the  first
three months of 1998 were higher when compared to the same period
in 1999.

        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.

        During  1998,  twenty-seven Limited Partners  redeemed  a
total of 313.25 Partnership Units for $161,072 in accordance with
the  Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership acquired these Units
using Net Cash Flow from operations.  In prior years, a total  of
101  Limited  Partners  redeemed 1,080.6  Partnership  Units  for
$829,400.    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.
