NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
(1) The condensed statements included herein have been prepared
by the Partnership, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim period, on a basis consistent with
the annual audited statements. The adjustments made to these
condensed statements consist only of normal recurring
adjustments. Certain information, accounting policies, and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the summary of significant
accounting policies and notes thereto included in the
Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
(2) Organization -
AEI Income & Growth Fund XXI Limited Partnership
(Partnership) was formed to acquire and lease commercial
properties to operating tenants. The Partnership's
operations are managed by AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc.
(AFM), the Managing General Partner of the Partnership.
Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole shareholder of
AFM, serves as the Individual General Partner of the
Partnership. An affiliate of AFM, AEI Fund Management,
Inc., performs the administrative and operating functions
for the Partnership.
The terms of the Partnership offering call for a
subscription price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Unit,
payable on acceptance of the offer. Under the terms of the
Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, 24,000 Limited
Partnership Units are available for subscription which, if
fully subscribed, will result in contributed Limited
Partners' capital of $24,000,000. The Partnership commenced
operations on April 14, 1995 when minimum subscriptions of
1,500 Limited Partnership Units ($1,500,000) were accepted.
At September 30, 1996, 20,492.503 Units ($20,492,503) were
subscribed and accepted by the Partnership. The General
Partners have contributed capital of $1,000. The Managing
General Partner has extended the offering of Units to the
earlier of completion of sale of all Units or January 31,
1997.
During the operation of the Partnership, any Net Cash Flow,
as defined, which the General Partners determine to
distribute will be distributed 90% to the Limited Partners
and 10% to the General Partners; provided, however, that
such distributions to the General Partners will be
subordinated to the Limited Partners first receiving an
annual, noncumulative distribution of Net Cash Flow equal to
10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution, as defined, and,
provided further, that in no event will the General Partners
receive less than 1% of such Net Cash Flow per annum.
Distributions to Limited Partners will be made pro rata by
Units.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
(2) Organization - (Continued)
Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or
financing of the Partnership's properties which the General
Partners determine to distribute will, after provisions for
debts and reserves, be paid in the following manner: (i)
first, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners until the Limited Partners receive an amount equal
to: (a) their Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an
amount equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital Contribution
per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to the extent not
previously distributed from Net Cash Flow; (ii) any
remaining balance will be distributed 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners. Distributions to
the Limited Partners will be made pro rata by Units.
For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than
profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing,
refinancing or other disposition of the Partnership's
property, will be allocated first in the same ratio in
which, and to the extent, Net Cash Flow is distributed to
the Partners for such year. Any additional profits will be
allocated in the same ratio as the last dollar of Net Cash
Flow is distributed. Net losses from operations will be
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing,
or other disposition of the Partnership's property will be
allocated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as
follows: (i) first, to those partners with deficit balances
in their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum of
such deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners until the aggregate
balance in the Limited Partners' capital accounts equals the
sum of the Limited Partners' Adjusted Capital Contributions
plus an amount equal to 10% of their Adjusted Capital
Contributions per annum, cumulative but not compounded, to
the extent not previously allocated; (iii) third, the
balance of any remaining gain will then be allocated 90% to
the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.
Losses will be allocated 98% to the Limited Partners and 2%
to the General Partners.
The General Partners are not required to currently fund a
deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the
Partnership or withdrawal by a General Partner, the General
Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balances in their capital
accounts or 1% of total Limited Partners' and General
Partners' capital contributions.

(3) Investments in Real Estate -
In 1995, the Partnership elected early adoption of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This standard requires the
Partnership to compare 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 Statement requires the
Partnership to recognize an impairment loss by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair
value of the property. Adoption of this Statement is not
expected to have a material effect on the Partnership's
financial statements.
The Partnership leases its properties to various tenants
through non-cancelable triple net leases, which are
classified as operating leases. Under a triple net lease,
the lessee is responsible for all real estate taxes,
insurance, maintenance, repairs and operating expenses of
the property. The initial Lease terms are 20 years except
for the Media Play store which has a Lease term of 18 years.
The Leases contain renewal options which may extend the
Lease term an additional 10 years for the Arby's, an
additional 15 years for Champp's Americana, an additional 20
years for the Media Play store and an additional 25 years
for the Garden Ridge store. The Leases contain rent clauses
which entitle the Partnership to receive additional rent in
future years based on stated rent increases. Certain
lessees have been granted options to purchase the property.
Depending on the lease, the purchase price is either
determined by a formula, or is the greater of the fair
market value of the property or the amount determined by a
formula. In all cases, if the option were to be exercised
by the lessee, the purchase price would be greater than the
original cost of the property.
The Partnership's properties are all commercial, single-
tenant buildings. The cost of the property and related
accumulated depreciation at September 30, 1996 are as
follows:

(3) Investments in Real Estate - (Continued)
On March 28, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 40.75%
interest in a Garden Ridge store in Pineville, North
Carolina for $3,577,152. The property is leased to Garden
Ridge, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of
20 years and annual rental payments of $383,973. The
remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Net
Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited Partnership and AEI
Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited Partnership,
affiliates of the Partnership.
On August 29, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 67.8%
interest in a Champp's Americana restaurant in Columbus,
Ohio for $1,775,506. The property is leased to Americana
Dining Corporation under a Lease Agreement with a primary
term of 20 years and annual rental payments of $191,259.
The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI
Real Estate Fund XVIII Limited Partnership, an affiliate of
the Partnership.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a Denny's restaurant in Covington, Louisiana.
The purchase price will be approximately $1,111,000. The
property will be leased to Huntington Restaurants Group,
Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years
and annual rental payments of approximately $125,000.
Through September 30, 1996, the Partnership had advanced
$560,485 for the construction of the property and was
charging interest on the Note at the rate of 8.0%.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a 93.1% interest in a Caribou Coffee store in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The purchase price will be
approximately $1,274,000. The property will be leased to
Caribou Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a
primary term of 18 years and annual rental payments of
approximately $146,000. Through September 30, 1996, the
Partnership had advanced $643,995 for the construction of
the property and was charging interest on the Note at the
rate of 7.0%.
The Partnership has incurred net costs of $191,052 relating
to the review of potential property acquisitions. Of these
costs, $35,992 have been capitalized and allocated to land,
building and equipment. The remaining costs of $155,060
have been capitalized and will be allocated to property
acquisitions in future periods.
(4) Payable to AEI Fund Management, Inc. -
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.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
The Partnership's rental income is derived from long-term,
triple net lease agreements on the Partnership's properties. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership recognized rental income of $377,035 and $26,146,
respectively. During the same periods, the Partnership also
earned $348,538 and $104,555, respectively, in investment income
from subscriptions proceeds which were invested in short-term
money market accounts, commercial paper and federal agency notes.
This investment income constituted 48% and 80%, respectively, of
total income for the period. The percentage of total income
represented by investment income declines as subscription
proceeds are invested in properties.
The annual rent from the four properties acquired is
$793,799. Since the properties are leased under a triple-net
lease, the Partnership has not incurred, and does not expect to
incur, expenses associated with the operation or maintenance of
property and the rental income represents the cash flow generated
by the property to the Partnership.
During the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership paid Partnership administration expenses to
affiliated parties of $187,609 and $91,035, respectively. These
administration expenses include initial start-up costs and
expenses associated with processing distributions, reporting
requirements and correspondence to the Limited Partners. The
administrative expenses decrease after completion of the offering
and acquisition phases of the Partnership's operations. During
the same periods, the Partnership incurred Partnership
administration and property management expenses from unrelated
parties of $19,651 and $4,073, respectively. These expenses
represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing
fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit and accounting
costs, insurance and other property costs.
The Partnership distributes all of its net income during
the offering and acquisition phases, and if net income after
deductions for depreciation is not sufficient to fund the
distributions, the Partnership may distribute other available
cash that constitutes capital for accounting purposes.
As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership's cash
distribution rate was 8.0% on an annualized basis. Distributions
of Net Cash Flow to the General Partners are subordinated to the
Limited Partners as required in the Partnership Agreement. As a
result, 99% of distributions were allocated to Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners.
Since the Partnership has only recently purchased its real
estate, inflation has had a minimal effect on income from
operations. 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
The Partnership's primary sources of cash will be proceeds
from the sale of Units, investment income, rental income and
proceeds from the sale of property. Its primary uses of cash
will be investment in real properties, payment of expenses
involved in the sale of units, the organization of the
Partnership, the management of properties, the administration of
the Partnership, and the payment of distributions.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
The Partnership Agreement requires that no more than 15%
of the proceeds from the sale of Units be applied to expenses
involved in the sale of Units (including Commissions) and that
such expenses, together with acquisition expenses, not exceed 20%
of the proceeds from the sale of Units. As set forth under the
caption "Estimated Use of Proceeds" of the Prospectus, the
General Partners anticipate that 14% of such proceeds will be
applied to cover organization and offering expenses if the
maximum proceeds are obtained. To the extent organization and
offering expenses actually incurred exceed 15% of proceeds, they
are borne by the General Partners.
The Partnership Agreement requires that all proceeds from
the sale of Units be invested or committed to investment in
properties by the later of two years after the date of the
Prospectus or six months after termination of the offer and sale
of Units. While the Partnership is purchasing properties, cash
flow from investing activities (investment in real property) will
remain negative and will constitute the principal use of the
Partnership's available cash flow.
Before the acquisition of properties, cash flow from
operating activities is not significant. Net income, after
adjustment for depreciation, is lower during the first few years
of operations as administrative expenses remain high and a large
amount of the Partnership's assets remain invested on a short-
term basis in lower-yielding cash equivalents. Net income will
become the largest component of cash flow from operating
activities and the largest component of cash flow after the
completion of the acquisition phase.
During the offering of Units, the Partnership's primary
source of cash flow will be from the sale of Limited Partnership
Units. The Partnership offered for sale up to $24,000,000 of
limited partnership interests (the "Units") (24,000 Units at
$1,000 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement effective
February 1, 1995. From February 1, 1995 to April 14, 1995, the
minimum number of Limited Partnership Units (1,500) needed to
form the Partnership were sold and on April 14, 1995, a total of
2,937.444 Units ($2,937,444) were transferred into the
Partnership. Through September 30, 1996, the Partnership raised
a total of $20,492,503 from the sale of 20,492.503 Units. The
Managing General Partner has extended the offering of Units to
the earlier of completion of sale of all Units or January 31,
1997. From subscription proceeds, the Partnership incurred
organization and syndication costs (which constitute a reduction
of capital) of $2,831,471.
On March 28, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 40.75%
interest in a Garden Ridge store in Pineville, North Carolina for
$3,577,152. The property is leased to Garden Ridge, Inc. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments of $383,973. The remaining interest in the property was
purchased by AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XIX Limited
Partnership and AEI Net Lease Income & Growth Fund XX Limited
Partnership, affiliates of the Partnership.
On August 29, 1996, the Partnership purchased a 67.8%
interest in a Champp's Americana restaurant in Columbus, Ohio for
$1,775,506. The property is leased to Americana Dining
Corporation under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20
years and annual rental payments of $191,259. The remaining
interest in the property was purchased by AEI Real Estate Fund
XVIII Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership.
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a Denny's restaurant in Covington, Louisiana. The
purchase price will be approximately $1,111,000. The property
will be leased to Huntington Restaurants Group, Inc. under a
Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and annual rental
payments of approximately $125,000. Through September 30, 1996,
the Partnership had advanced $560,485 for the construction of the
property and was charging interest on the Note at the rate of
8.0%.
ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (Continued)
In August, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to purchase a 93.1% interest in a Caribou Coffee store in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The purchase price will be
approximately $1,274,000. The property will be leased to Caribou
Coffee Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a primary term
of 18 years and annual rental payments of approximately $146,000.
Through September 30, 1996, the Partnership had advanced $643,995
for the construction of the property and was charging interest on
the Note at the rate of 7.0%.
After completion of the acquisition phase, the
Partnership's primary use of cash flow is distribution and
redemption payments to Partners. The Partnership declares its
regular quarterly distributions before the end of each quarter
and pays the distribution in the first week after the end of each
quarter. The Partnership attempts to maintain a stable
distribution rate from quarter to quarter.
The Partnership may 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 number of Units
outstanding at the beginning of the year. In no event shall the
Partnership be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole
discretion of the Managing General Partner, such purchase would
impair the capital or operation of the Partnership. As of
September 30, 1996, the Partnership has not acquired any Units
from Limited Partners.
Until capital is invested in properties, the Partnership
will remain extremely liquid. At September 30, 1996, $8,574,833
or 49% of the Partnership's assets were in cash or cash
equivalents (including accrued interest receivable). After
completion of property acquisitions, the Partnership will attempt
to maintain a cash reserve of only approximately 1% of
subscription proceeds. Because properties are purchased for cash
and leased under triple-net leases, this is considered adequate
to satisfy most contingencies.
