For tax purposes, profits from operations, other than profits attributable to the sale, exchange, financing, refinancing or other disposition of property,
will be allocated 97% to the Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members. Net losses from operations will be allocated 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members.
For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing, or other disposition of property will be allocated in accordance with the Operating Agreement

Members.
(3) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements –
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure
requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements for the analysis of members' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an
analysis of changes in each caption of members' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for
which a statement of income is required to be filed.
The Company’s first presentation of year-to-date quarterly changes in members' equity was included in its Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2019.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, which provides guidance for accounting
for leases. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The accounting guidance for lessors is
largely unchanged. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2018. It is to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach.
The Company has adopted the accounting pronouncement effective
January 1, 2019
and the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial statements.

(4) Real Estate Investments –
The Company owns a 40% interest in a former Sports Authority store in Wichita, Kansas. On
March 2, 2016, the tenant, TSA Stores, Inc., and its parent
company, The Sports Authority, Inc., the guarantor of the lease, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. In June 2016, the tenant filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to reject the lease for this store effective
June 30, 2016, at which
time the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. As of
September 30, 2019, the tenant owed $19,366 of past due rent, which was not accrued for financial reporting purposes. The owners listed the property for lease with a real
estate broker in the Wichita area. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 40% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property.
On
September 21, 2017,
the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with Biomat USA, Inc. (
“Biomat”) as a replacement tenant
for 28% of the square footage of the property. The tenant will operate a Biomat USA Plasma Center in the space.
The Company’s 40% share of annual rent, which commenced on
June 18, 2018, is $37,071. Biomat agreed to pay for the costs to divide the
building into two separate spaces, the costs of tenant improvements to remodel the Biomat space and 28% of the cost to replace the roof. In the second quarter of 2018,
the Company recorded $54,219 as a property expense for its 40% share of the
remaining cost to replace the roof. At
December 31, 2017,
the Company accrued its 40% share of lease commissions due to real estate brokers totaling $54,293 that were owed as part of the lease transaction. This amount was capitalized and will be
amortized over the term of the lease.
On
August 27, 2019,
the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with BigTime Fun Center, LLC as a replacement tenant for 57%
of the square footage of the property. The tenant will operate an indoor sports entertainment center in the space.
The Company’s 40% share of annual rent, which will commence the earlier of
February 23, 2020 or the date the tenant opens for
business, is $78,000. As part of the agreement, the Partnership will pay a tenant improvement allowance of $64,000, in two installments, when certain conditions are met by the tenant. In September 2019,
the Company paid $32,760 to a real estate
broker for its 40% share of the lease commission due as part of the lease transaction. This amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the lease.
The Company owns a 27% interest in a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The remaining interests in the property are owned by three
affiliates of
the Company. On
January 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 27% share of real estate taxes and other costs
associated with maintaining the property. The owners listed the property for lease with a real estate broker in the Fredericksburg area. The annual rent from this property represented approximately 24% of the total annual rent of
the Company’s
property portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property decreased
the Company’s cash flow. Consequently, beginning with the first quarter of 2019,
the Company reduced its regular quarterly cash distribution rate from
$0.0949 per Unit to $0.0527 per Unit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(4) Real Estate Investments – (Continued)
Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis,
the Company determined the former Dick’s Sporting Goods store was impaired. As a result, in the fourth
quarter of 2018, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $830,973 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at
December 31, 2018 of $2,423,973 and the estimated fair value of $-----1,593,000. Based on its
long-lived asset valuation analysis, in the first quarter of 2019,
the Company recognized an additional real estate impairment of $611,623 to decrease the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $972,000. The charges were recorded against the
cost of the land and building.
In October 2019, after marketing the property for lease for many months,
the Company decided to sell its 27% interest in the former Dick’s Sporting Goods
store. In November 2019,
the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party. The sale is subject to contingencies and may not be completed. If the sale is completed,
the Company expects to receive net proceeds
of approximately $661,500. If the sale is not completed,
the Company will seek another buyer for the property and may not be able to negotiate a purchase agreement with similar economic terms. In the third quarter of 2019, as a result of deciding
to sell the property,
the Company recognized an additional real estate impairment of $298,990 to decrease the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $661,500. The charges were recorded against the cost of the land and building.
In December 2018,
the Company decided to sell the Applebee’s restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana. In January 2019,
the Company entered into an agreement
to sell the property to an unrelated third party. On
April 8, 2019, the sale closed with
the Company receiving net proceeds of $1,242,457, which resulted in a net gain of $436,887. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
was $1,237,771 and $432,201, respectively. At
December 31, 2018, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $805,570.
On
June 6, 2019,
the Company purchased an additional 16% joint-venture interest in the Best Buy store in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for $1,009,850 from AEI
Income & Growth Fund 23 LLC (
“Fund 23”), an affiliate of
the Company. The purchase price of the property interest was based upon the property’s fair market value as determined by an independent, third-party, commercial property appraiser. The
property interest became available because Fund 23 is in the process of liquidating its property portfolio.
The Company now owns a 46% interest in the Best Buy property.
The Company allocated $69,074 of the purchase price to Acquired Intangible
Lease Assets, representing in-place lease intangibles. The annual rent for the additional 16% interest that was purchased is $83,627.

(4) Real Estate Investments – (Continued)
The Company owns a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store in Middletown, Ohio. The remaining interest in the property is owned by an affiliate of the
Company. On
July 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 55% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with
maintaining the property. The owners have listed the property for sale or lease with a real estate broker in the Middletown area. The annual rent from this property represented approximately 11% of the total annual rent of
the Company’s property
portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property will decrease
the Company’s cash flow. However, at this time,
the Company does not anticipate the need to further reduce its regular quarterly cash distribution rate.
Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis,
the Company determined the Advance Auto store was impaired. As a result, in the second quarter of 2019,
a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $367,315 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at
June 30, 2019 of $546,065 and the estimated fair value of $178,750. The charge was recorded against the cost of the
land and building.
(5) Payable to AEI Fund Management, Inc. –
AEI Fund Management, Inc. performs the administrative and operating functions for
the Company. 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.
(6) Members’ Equity –
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and
2018,
the Company declared distributions of $283,297 and $509,479, respectively. The Limited Members
received distributions of $274,798 and $495,003 and the Managing Members received distributions of $8,499 and $14,476 for the periods, respectively. The Limited Members' distributions represented $0.16 and $0.28 per LLC Unit outstanding using
1,738,006 weighted average Units in both years. The distributions represented $0.00 and $0.08 per Unit of Net Income and $0.16 and $0.20 per Unit of return of contributed capital in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As part of the distributions discussed above,
the Company distributed net sale proceeds (from property sales completed in 2015) of $40,404 in 2018. The

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(7) Fair Value Measurements –
Fair value, as defined by US GAAP, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. US GAAP establishes a hierarchy in determining the fair value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable
and unobservable. US GAAP requires the utilization of the lowest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data,
other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be
corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data.
At
September 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018,
the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring
basis that would require disclosure.
The Company had the following nonfinancial assets measured on a nonrecurring basis that were recorded at fair value during 2019 and 2018.
The Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Fredericksburg, Virginia with a carrying amount of $2,423,973 at
December 31, 2018, was written down to its estimated
fair value of $1,593,000 after completing our long-lived asset valuation analysis. The resulting impairment charge of $830,973 was included in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018. The fair value of the property was based upon estimated
probability-weighted future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property and its eventual disposition. These estimates are considered Level 3 inputs in the valuation hierarchy. At
March 31, 2019, the property was written down to its
estimated fair value of $972,000 after completing our long-lived asset valuation analysis. The resulting impairment charge of $611,623 was included in earnings for the first quarter of 2019. The fair value of the property was based upon an
appraisal prepared by an independent commercial property appraiser. The appraisal is considered a Level 3 input in the valuation hierarchy. At
September 30, 2019, the property was written down to its estimated fair value of $661,500 after
completing our long-lived asset valuation analysis. The resulting impairment charge of $298,990 was included in earnings for the third quarter of 2019. The fair value of the property was based upon a signed purchase agreement, which is considered a
Level 3 input in the valuation hierarchy.
The Advance Auto store in Middletown, Ohio with a carrying amount of $546,065 at
June 30, 2019, was written down to its estimated fair value of $178,750
after completing our long-lived asset valuation analysis. The resulting impairment charge of $367,315 was included in earnings for the second quarter of 2019. The fair value of the property was based upon comparable sales of similar properties,
which are considered Level 2 inputs in the valuation hierarchy.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This section contains
"forward-looking statements" which represent management's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including statements
regarding anticipated application of cash, expected returns from rental income, growth in revenue, the sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward-looking statements, should be
evaluated in the context of a number of factors that may affect
the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, including the following:
|
— |
Market and economic conditions which affect the value of the properties the Company owns and the cash from rental income such properties generate;
|
|
— |
the federal income tax consequences of rental income, deductions, gain on sales and other items and the effects of these consequences for Members;
|
|
— |
resolution by the Managing Members of conflicts with which they may be confronted;
|
|
— |
the success of the Managing Members of locating properties with favorable risk return characteristics;
|
|
— |
the effect of tenant defaults; and
|
|
— |
the condition of the industries in which the tenants of properties owned by the Company operate.
|
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Preparing the financial statements requires management to use judgment
in the application of these accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of
the Company’s assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the
dates of the financial statements and will affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. It is possible that the carrying amount of
the Company’s assets and liabilities, or the results of reported operations, will
be affected if management’s estimates or assumptions prove inaccurate.
Management of
the Company evaluates the following accounting estimates on an ongoing basis, and has discussed the development and selection of these
estimates and the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them with the managing member of
the Company.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Properties
Upon acquisition of real properties,
the Company records them in the financial statements at cost. The purchase price is allocated to tangible assets,
consisting of land and building, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, which may include the value of above market and below market leases and the value of in-place leases. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon the fair
value of each component of the property. Although independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of fair value, in many cases these values will be based upon management’s assessment of each property, the selling prices of
comparable properties and the discounted value of cash flows from the asset.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
The fair values of above market and below market in-place leases will be recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the
risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period
equal to the non-cancelable term of the lease including any bargain renewal periods. The above market and below market lease values will be capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities. Above market lease values will be amortized as an
adjustment of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. Below market lease values will be amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases, including any bargain renewal periods. If
a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of above market and below market in-place lease values relating to that lease would be recorded as an adjustment to rental income.
The fair values of in-place leases will include estimated direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, and opportunity costs associated with lost
rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant may include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated, in part, by management’s consideration of current
market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs will be included in intangible lease assets on the balance sheet and will be amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs will be
calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. These intangibles will be included in intangible lease assets on the balance sheet and will be amortized to
expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts of in-place lease assets relating to that lease would be expensed.
The determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired will require the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current
market rental rates, rental growth rates, discount and capitalization rates, interest rates and other variables. If management’s estimates or assumptions prove inaccurate, the result would be an inaccurate allocation of purchase price, which could
impact the amount of reported net income.
Carrying Value of Properties
Properties are carried at original cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For properties
the Company will hold and operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property’s probability-weighted future
undiscounted cash flows to its current carrying value. For properties held for sale, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property’s estimated fair value less cost to sell to its current carrying value. If the
carrying value is greater than the net realizable value, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its net realizable value. Changes in these assumptions or analysis may cause material changes in the carrying
value of the properties.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
Allocation of Expenses
AEI Fund Management, Inc. allocates expenses to each of the funds they manage primarily on the basis of the number of hours devoted by their employees to
each fund’s affairs. They also allocate expenses at the end of each month that are not directly related to a fund’s operations based upon the number of investors in the fund and the fund’s capitalization relative to other funds they manage. The
Company reimburses these expenses subject to detailed limitations contained in the Operating Agreement.
Results of Operations
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and
2018,
the Company recognized rental income of $553,083 and $716,838, respectively. In 2019, rental income
decreased due to the sale of one property in 2019 and the lease terms ending for the Dick’s Sporting Goods store and the Advance Auto store, as discussed below. These decreases were partially offset by additional rent received from one property
acquisition in 2019, a rent increase on one property and rent received from a new tenant in the Wichita property. Based on the scheduled rent for the properties owned as of
October 31, 2019,
the Company expects to recognize rental income of
approximately $722,000 and $729,000 in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and
2018,
the Company incurred LLC administration expenses from affiliated parties of $111,038 and $105,319,
respectively. These administration expenses include costs associated with the management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting requirements and communicating with the Limited Members. During the same periods,
the Company incurred
LLC administration and property management expenses from unrelated parties of $105,854 and $131,740, respectively. These expenses represent direct payments to third parties for legal and filing fees, direct administrative costs, outside audit costs,
taxes, insurance and other property costs. These expenses were higher in 2018, when compared to 2019, due to expenses related to the property in Wichita, Kansas.
The Company owns a 40% interest in a former Sports Authority store in Wichita, Kansas. On
March 2, 2016, the tenant, TSA Stores, Inc., and its parent
company, The Sports Authority, Inc., the guarantor of the lease, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. In June 2016, the tenant filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to reject the lease for this store effective
June 30, 2016, at which
time the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. As of
September 30, 2019, the tenant owed $19,366 of past due rent, which was not accrued for financial reporting purposes. The owners listed the property for lease with a real
estate broker in the Wichita area. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 40% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)

September 21, 2017,
the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with Biomat USA, Inc. (

On
August 27, 2019,
the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with BigTime Fun Center, LLC as a replacement tenant for 57%

The Company’s 40% share of annual rent, which will commence the earlier of
February 23, 2020 or the date the tenant opens for
business, is $78,000. As part of the agreement, the Partnership will pay a tenant improvement allowance of $64,000,
in two installments, when certain conditions are met by
the tenant. In September 2019,
the Company paid $32,760 to a real estate broker for its 40% share of the lease commission due as part of the lease transaction. This amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the lease.
The Company owns a 27% interest in a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The remaining interests in the property are owned by three
affiliates of
the Company. On
January 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 27% share of real estate taxes and other costs

property portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property decreased
the Company’s cash flow. Consequently, beginning with the first quarter of 2019,
the Company reduced its regular quarterly cash distribution rate from
$0.0949 per Unit to $0.0527 per Unit.
Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis,
the Company determined the former Dick’s Sporting Goods store was impaired. As a result, in the fourth
quarter of 2018, a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $830,973 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at
December 31, 2018 of $2,423,973 and the estimated fair value of $-----1,593,000. Based on its
long-lived asset valuation analysis, in the first quarter of 2019,
the Company recognized an additional real estate impairment of $611,623 to decrease the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $972,000. The charges were recorded against the
cost of the land and building.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
In October 2019, after marketing the property for lease for many months,
the Company decided to sell its 27% interest in the former Dick’s Sporting Goods
store. In November 2019,
the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party. The sale is subject to contingencies and may not be completed. If the sale is completed,
the Company expects to receive net proceeds
of approximately $661,500. If the sale is not completed,
the Company will seek another buyer for the property and may not be able to negotiate a purchase agreement with similar economic terms. In the third quarter of 2019, as a result of deciding
to sell the property,
the Company recognized an additional real estate impairment of $298,990 to decrease the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $661,500. The charges were recorded against the cost of the land and building.
The Company owns a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store in Middletown, Ohio. The remaining interest in the property is owned by an affiliate of the
Company. On
July 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property is vacant,
the Company is responsible for its 55% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with
maintaining the property. The owners have listed the property for sale or lease with a real estate broker in the Middletown area. The annual rent from this property represented approximately 11% of the total annual rent of
the Company’s property
portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property will decrease
the Company’s cash flow. However, at this time,
the Company does not anticipate the need to further reduce its regular quarterly cash distribution rate.
Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis,
the Company determined the Advance Auto store was impaired. As a result, in the second quarter of 2019,
a charge to operations for real estate impairment of $367,315 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at
June 30, 2019 of $546,065 and the estimated fair value of $178,750. The charge was recorded against the cost of the
land and building.
Management believes inflation has not significantly affected income from operations. Leases may contain rent increases, based on the increase in the
Consumer Price Index over a specified period, which will result in an increase in rental income over the term of the leases. Inflation also may cause the real estate to appreciate in value. However, inflation and changing prices may have an adverse
impact on the operating margins of the properties' tenants, which could impair their ability to pay rent and subsequently reduce the Net Cash Flow available for distributions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2019,
the Company's cash balances increased $211,190 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property and
cash generated from operating activities in excess of distributions paid to the Members, which were partially offset by cash used to purchase property. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2018,
the Company's cash balances decreased $23,941 as
a result of distributions paid to the Members in excess of cash generated from operating activities.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $486,371 in 2018 to $370,454 in 2019 as a result of a decrease in total rental and interest income
in 2019, which was partially offset by a decrease in LLC administration and property management expenses in 2019 and net timing differences in the collection of payments from the tenants and the payment of expenses.
The major components of
the Company's cash flow from investing activities are investments in real estate and proceeds from the sale of real estate. During
the nine months ended
September 30, 2019,
the Company generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $1,242,457. During the same period,
the Company expended $1,042,610 to invest in real properties as
the Company reinvested cash generated from
property sales.
In December 2018,
the Company decided to sell the Applebee’s restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana. In January 2019,
the Company entered into an agreement
to sell the property to an unrelated third party. On
April 8, 2019, the sale closed with
the Company receiving net proceeds of $1,242,457, which resulted in a net gain of $436,887. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
was $1,237,771 and $432,201, respectively. At
December 31, 2018, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $805,570.
On
June 6, 2019,
the Company purchased an additional 16% joint-venture interest in the Best Buy store in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for $1,009,850 from AEI
Income & Growth Fund 23 LLC (
“Fund 23”), an affiliate of
the Company. The purchase price of the property interest was based upon the property’s fair market value as determined by an independent, third-party, commercial property appraiser. The
property interest became available because Fund 23 is in the process of liquidating its property portfolio.
The Company now owns a 46% interest in the Best Buy property.
The Company allocated $69,074 of the purchase price to Acquired Intangible
Lease Assets, representing in-place lease intangibles. The annual rent for the additional 16% interest that was purchased is $83,627.
The Company's primary use of cash flow, other than investment in real estate, is distribution payments to Members and cash used to repurchase Units. The
Company 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 Company attempts to maintain a stable distribution rate from quarter to quarter. The
Company may repurchase tendered Units on April 1st and October 1st of each year subject to limitations.
For the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and
2018,
the Company declared distributions of $283,297 and $509,479, respectively. Pursuant to the
Operating Agreement, distributions of Net Cash Flow were allocated 97% to the Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members. Distributions of Net Proceeds of Sale were allocated 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members. The
Limited Members received distributions of $274,798 and $495,003 and the Managing Members received distributions of $8,499 and $14,476 for the periods, respectively.
As part of the distributions discussed above,
the Company distributed net sale proceeds (from property sales completed in 2015) of $40,404 in 2018. The
Limited Members received distributions of $40,000 and the Managing Members received distributions of $404. The Limited Members’ distributions represented $0.02 per Unit.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued)
The Company may repurchase Units from Limited Members who have tendered their Units to
the Company. Such Units may be acquired at a discount.
The Company
will not be obligated to purchase in any year more than 2% of the total number of Units outstanding on January 1 of such year. In no event shall
the Company be obligated to purchase Units if, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, such
purchase would impair the capital or operation of
the Company. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and
2018,
the Company did not repurchase any Units from the Limited Members.
The continuing rent payments from the properties, together with cash generated from property sales, should be adequate to fund continuing distributions and
meet other Company obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
September 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018,
the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have
current or future effects on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
