DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE The registrant has not incorporated any documents by reference into this report. Transitional Small Business Disclosure Format: Yes No [X] Use Company NOT Partnership, LLC Unit and LLC administration expenses PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. AEI Income & Growth Fund 26 LLC (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a limited liability company which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on March 14, 2005. The registrant is comprised of AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. (AFM), as the Managing Member, Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole director of AFM, as the Special Managing Member, and purchasers of LLC Units as Limited Members. The Company offered for sale up to $100,000,000 of limited membership interests (the "Units") (10,000,000 Units at $10 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement effective October 20, 2005. The Company commenced operations on April 3, 2006 when minimum subscriptions of 150,000 LLC Units ($1,500,000) were accepted. At December 31, 2006, 882,126.8 Units ($8,821,268) were subscribed and accepted by the Company. The Managing Members have contributed capital of $1,000. The Company was organized to acquire existing and newly constructed commercial properties, to lease such properties to tenants under net leases, to hold such properties and to eventually sell such properties. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had purchased four properties, including partial interests in three properties at a total cost of $7,545,000. The properties are commercial, single tenant buildings leased under triple net leases. The Company is continuing to review various properties for acquisition until available subscription proceeds are fully committed. The Company's properties were purchased with subscription proceeds without any indebtedness. The Company will not finance properties in the future to obtain proceeds for new property acquisitions. If it is required to do so, the Company may incur short-term indebtedness to finance day-to-day cash flow requirements (including cash flow necessary to repurchase Units). The Company may borrow to finance the refurbishing of a property. The Company will hold its properties until the Managing Members determine that the sale or other disposition of the properties is advantageous in view of the Company's investment objectives. In deciding whether to sell properties, the Managing Members will consider factors such as potential appreciation, net cash flow and income tax considerations. In addition, certain tenants may be granted options to purchase properties after a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. The Company expects to sell some or all of its properties prior to its final liquidation and to reinvest the proceeds from such sales in additional properties. The Company reserves the right, at the discretion of the Managing Members, to either distribute proceeds from the sale of properties to the Members or to reinvest such proceeds in additional properties, provided that sufficient proceeds are distributed to the Limited Members to pay federal and state income taxes related to any taxable gain recognized as a result of the sale. It is anticipated that the Company will commence liquidation through the sale of its remaining properties ten to twelve years after completion of the acquisition phase, depending upon the then current real estate and money markets, the economic climate and the income tax consequences to the Members. ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued) Leases Although there are variations in the specific terms of the leases, the following is a summary of the general terms of the Company's leases. The properties are leased to various tenants under triple net leases, which are classified as operating leases. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is responsible for all real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs and operating expenses for the property. The primary lease terms are for 13 to 20 years. The leases provide for base annual rental payments, payable in monthly installments, and contain rent clauses which entitle the Company to receive additional rent in future years based on stated rent increases. The leases provide the tenants with three to four five- year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the primary term. Certain tenants may be granted options to purchase the property at a formula price, which would exceed the original cost. The actual sale price of a property to a tenant may or may not exceed original cost depending on market and other conditions. Property Activity During the second quarter of 2006, the Company purchased a 40% interest in a Sports Authority (formerly Gart Sports) store in Wichita, Kansas for $2,230,753. The property was purchased from AEI Fund Management XVII, Inc. (AFMX), an affiliate of the Managing Members. In order to facilitate the purchase of the Company's first property, AFMX purchased the property from an unrelated third party on December 22, 2005. The property is leased to TSA Stores, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 11 years and initial annual rent of $186,059. The remaining interest in this property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 25 LLC, an affiliate of the Company. On June 1, 2006, the Company purchased a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store in Middletown, Ohio for $1,022,289. The property is leased to Advance Stores Company, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 13.2 years and initial annual rent of $71,679. The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC, an affiliate of the Company. On September 21, 2006, the Company purchased a 37% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana for $1,130,049 from the tenant. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company purchased the remaining 63% interest in this property for $1,924,138 from AFMX. The property is leased to Apple Indiana II LLC under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and initial annual rent of $220,262. On December 29, 2006, the Company purchased a 40% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana for $1,237,771 from AFMX. The property is leased to Apple Indiana II LLC under a Lease Agreement with a primary term of 20 years and initial annual rent of $89,289. The remaining interest in the property is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Company. ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. (Continued) In order to facilitate the Company's purchase of the Applebee's property interests, AFMX purchased the properties from Apple Indiana II LLC, an unrelated third party, on September 21, 2006. For the property interests purchased from AFMX, the price paid by the Company was equal to the price paid by AFMX plus the expenses incurred by it to transfer ownership of the property to the Company, which were minimal. There was no other benefit arising out of the transactions to the Managing Members or their affiliates apart from compensation otherwise permitted by the Operating Agreement. Major Tenants During 2006, three tenants each contributed more than ten percent of the Company's total rental revenue. The major tenants in aggregate contributed 100% of total rental revenue in 2006. Because the Company has not completed its acquisition of properties, it is not possible to determine which tenants will contribute more than ten percent of the Company's rental revenue in 2007 and future years. In the event that certain tenants contribute more than ten percent of rental revenue in future years, any failure of these major tenants could materially affect the Company's net income and cash distributions. Competition The Company is a minor factor in the commercial real estate business. There are numerous entities engaged in the commercial real estate business which have greater financial resources than the Company. At the time the Company elects to dispose of its properties, it will be in competition with other persons and entities to find buyers for its properties. Employees The Company has no direct employees. Management services are performed for the Company by AEI Fund Management, Inc., an affiliate of AFM. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. Investment Objectives The Company's investment objectives are to acquire existing or newly-developed commercial properties that offer the potential for (i) regular cash distributions of lease income; (ii) growth in lease income through rent escalation provisions; (iii) preservation of capital through all-cash transactions; (iv) capital growth through appreciation in the value of properties; and (v) stable property performance through long-term lease contracts. The Company does not have a policy, and there is no limitation, as to the amount or percentage of assets that may be invested in any one property. However, to the extent possible, the Managing Members attempt to diversify the type and location of the properties. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued) Description of Properties The Company's properties are commercial, single tenant buildings. The properties were acquired on a debt-free basis and are leased to various tenants under triple net leases, which are classified as operating leases. The only exceptions are under the Leases for the Sports Authority and Advance Auto Parts stores, the Company is responsible for repairs to the structural components of the building, except for the roof, which is the tenant's responsibility. The Company holds an undivided fee simple interest in the properties. The Company's properties are subject to the general competitive conditions incident to the ownership of single tenant investment real estate. Since each property is leased under a long-term lease, there is little competition until the Company decides to sell the property. At this time, the Company will be competing with other real estate owners, on both a national and local level, in attempting to find buyers for the properties. In the event of a tenant default, the Company would be competing with other real estate owners, who have property vacancies, to attract a new tenant to lease the property. The Company's tenants operate in industries that are very competitive and can be affected by factors such as changes in regional or local economies, seasonality and changes in consumer preference. The following table is a summary of the properties that the Company acquired and owned as of December 31, 2006. Total Property Annual Annual Purchase Acquisition Lease Rent Per Property Date Costs Tenant Payment Sq. Ft. Sports Authority Store Wichita, KS4/3/06 to (40.0%) 6/30/06 $2,230,753 TSA Stores, Inc. $186,059 $ 8.90 Advance Auto Parts Store Middletown, OH Advance Stores (55.0%) 6/1/06 $1,022,289 Company, Inc. $ 71,679 $18.94 Applebee's Restaurant 9/21/06 to Apple Indiana Indianapolis, IN 12/1/06 $3,054,187 II LLC $220,262 $42.12 Applebee's Restaurant Crawfordsville, IN Apple Indiana (40%) 12/29/06 $1,237,771 II LLC $ 89,289 $42.44 The properties listed above with a partial ownership percentage are owned with affiliates of the Company. The remaining interest in the Sports Authority store is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund 25 LLC. The remaining interest in the Advance Auto Parts store is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC. The remaining interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES. (Continued) The Company accounts for properties owned as tenants-in- common with affiliated Partnerships and/or unrelated third parties using the proportionate consolidation method. Each tenant-in-common owns a separate, undivided interest in the properties. Any tenant-in-common that holds more than a 50% interest does not control decisions over the other tenant-in- common interests. The financial statements reflect only this Company's percentage share of the properties' land, building and equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses. At the time the properties were acquired, the remaining primary lease terms varied from 13 to 20 years, except for the Sports Authority store, which had a remaining primary term of 11 years. The leases provide the tenants with three to four five- year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the primary term. Pursuant to the lease agreements, the tenants are required to provide proof of adequate insurance coverage on the properties they occupy. The Managing Members believe the properties are adequately covered by insurance and consider the properties to be well-maintained and sufficient for the Company's operations. For tax purposes, the Company's properties are depreciated under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). The largest depreciable component of a property is the building which is depreciated, using the straight-line method, over 39 years. The remaining depreciable components of a property are personal property and land improvements which are depreciated, using an accelerated method, over 5 and 15 years, respectively. Since the Company has tax-exempt Members, the Company is subject to the rules of Section 168(h)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code which requires a percentage of the properties' depreciable components to be depreciated over longer lives using the straight-line method. In general, the federal tax basis of the properties for tax depreciation purposes will be the same as the basis for book depreciation purposes. At December 31, 2006, all properties listed above were 100% occupied. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. None. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. (a) As of December 31, 2006, there were 263 holders of record of the registrant's LLC Units. There is no other class of security outstanding or authorized. The registrant's Units are not a traded security in any market. During the period covered by this report, the Company did not sell any equity securities that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Cash distributions of $5,342 were made to the Managing Members and $172,728 were made to the Limited Members in 2006. The distributions were made on a quarterly basis and represent Net Cash Flow, as defined. These distributions should not be compared with dividends paid on capital stock by corporations. (b) The registration statement for the offering (No. 333- 125266) was declared effective on October 20, 2005. The offering commenced on October 20, 2005 and is ongoing. AEI Securities, Inc. (ASI) is the dealer manager of the offering. The registration statement covers 10,000,000 Units of limited liability company interest at an aggregate price of up to $100 million. Through December 31, 2006, the Company had sold 882,126.8 Units for gross offering proceeds of $8,821,268. From gross offering proceeds, the Company paid $860,461 in selling commissions to ASI, an affiliate of the Managing Members. Of this amount, $572,653 was re-allowed by ASI to participating broker/dealers not affiliated with the Managing Members. The gross offering proceeds were further reduced by underwriting discounts of $5,492 and other organization and syndication costs of $441,063 of which $220,077 was paid to AEI Fund Management, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing Members, for costs incurred in connection with managing the Company's offering and organization. From inception to December 31, 2006, the Company paid commissions, organization and syndication costs totaling $1,307,017. From the net offering proceeds, the Company expended $7,545,000 to acquire real estate of which $7,424,287 represented cash paid to unaffiliated sellers of real estate and $120,713 represented cash paid to reimburse AEI Fund Management, Inc. for costs and direct expenses incurred by it in acquiring properties on behalf of the Company. (c) Beginning in March 2009, pursuant to Section 7.7 of the Operating Agreement, each Limited Member has the right to present Units to the Company for purchase by submitting notice to the Managing Member during January or July of each year. The purchase price of the Units is equal to 80% of the net asset value of the Units, as of the first business day of January or July of each year, as determined by the Managing Member in accordance with the provisions of the Operating Agreement. Units tendered to the Company during January and July are redeemed on April 1st and October 1st, respectively, of each year subject to the following limitations. 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 period covered by this report, the Company did not purchase any Units. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. Other Information In order for NASD members and their associated persons to participate in the offering and sale of Units of the Company, the Company is required, pursuant to NASD Rule 2810, to disclose in each annual report distributed to Limited Members a per Unit estimated value, the method by which it was developed and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. At December 31, 2006, the Company's Units were valued at $10. The basis for this valuation is the Company is currently engaged in a public offering at a price of $10 per Unit. However, please note that there is no public trading market for the Units nor is one ever expected to develop and there can be no assurance that Limited Members could receive $10 per unit if such a market did exist and they sold their Units or that they will be able to receive such amount for their Units in the future. In addition, the Company has not performed an evaluation of the Company properties and, therefore, this valuation is not based upon the value of the Company properties, nor does it represent the amount Limited Members would receive if the Company properties were sold and the proceeds distributed to the Limited Members in a liquidation of the Company, which amount would most likely be less than $10 per Unit as a result of the fact that, at the time the Company is purchasing its properties, the amount of funds available for investment in properties is approximately 15% less than the offering proceeds due to the payment of organization and offering expenses, including selling commissions, as described in more detail in the Company's Prospectus. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. The Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws which represent management's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including statements regarding anticipated application of cash, expected returns from rental income, growth in revenue, the sufficiency of cash to meet operating expenses, rates of distribution, and other matters. These, and other forward looking statements made by the Company, must 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 affects 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; ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued) the effect of tenant defaults; and the condition of the industries in which the tenants of properties owned by the Company operate. The Application of Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the carrying value of real estate and the allocation by AEI Fund Management, Inc. of expenses to the Company as opposed to other funds they manage. The Company purchases properties and records them in the financial statements at the lower of cost or estimated realizable value. The Company initially records the properties at cost (including capitalized acquisition expenses). The Company is required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of properties to determine whether their realizable value has declined. For properties the Company will hold and operate, management determines whether impairment has occurred by comparing the property's probability-weighted 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 realizable value, an impairment loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its realizable value. A change in these assumptions or analysis could cause material changes in the carrying value of the properties. 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. Management of the Company has discussed the development and selection of the above accounting estimates and the management discussion and analysis disclosures regarding them with the managing member of the Company. Results of Operations The Company was organized on March 14, 2005. From this date until the initial subscription proceeds of $1,932,316 were released from escrow on April 3, 2006, the Company had received only $1,000 of capital from the Managing Members, had not conducted any business operations other than those related to the offering and sale of Units and had not admitted any investors as Limited Members. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued) For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized rental income of $218,953, representing rent from four properties acquired during the period. At December 31, 2006, the scheduled annual rent for the four properties was $567,289. The Company purchased a 40% interest in a Sports Authority store in Wichita, Kansas from an affiliate of the Managing Members. During the period the property was owned by the affiliate, the property generated net income of $6,199. The Company purchased a 63% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana and a 40% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana from an affiliate of the Managing Members. During the period the properties were owned by the affiliate, the properties generated a net loss of $1,616 and $2,812, respectively. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, these amounts were paid to or charged to the Company and are shown as Miscellaneous Income on the Income Statement. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred LLC administration expenses from affiliated parties of $40,207. These administration expenses include costs associated with the management of the properties, processing distributions, reporting requirements and correspondence to the Limited Members. During the same period, the Company incurred LLC administration and property management expenses from unrelated parties of $5,744. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized interest income of $10,263 mainly from subscription proceeds temporarily invested in a money market account. Inflation has had a minimal effect on 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. In addition, leases may contain rent clauses which entitle the Company to receive additional rent in future years if gross receipts for the property exceed certain specified amounts. Increases in sales volumes of the tenants, due to inflation and real sales growth, may 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 The Company's primary sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Units, interest income, rental income and proceeds from the sale of property. Its primary uses of cash are investment in real properties, payment of expenses involved in the sale of Units, the management of properties, the organization and administration of the Company, and the payment of distributions. The Company generated $271,540 of cash from operations during the year ended December 31, 2006, representing net income of $102,013, a non-cash expense of $83,023 for depreciation and an $86,504 increase in the payable to the Company's managers. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued) 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 year ended December 31, 2006, the Company expended $7,545,000 to invest in real properties (inclusive of acquisition expenses). During the second quarter of 2006, the Company purchased a 40% interest in a Sports Authority (formerly Gart Sports) store in Wichita, Kansas for $2,230,753. On June 1, 2006, the Company purchased a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store in Middletown, Ohio for $1,022,289. On September 21, 2006, the Company purchased a 37% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana for $1,130,049. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company purchased the remaining 63% interest in this property for $1,924,138. On December 29, 2006, the Company purchased a 40% interest in an Applebee's restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana for $1,237,771. The Sports Authority store, the Applebee's restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana and the 63% interest in the Applebee's restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana were purchased from AEI Fund Management XVII, Inc. (AFMX), an affiliate of the Managing Members. In order to facilitate the Company's purchase of these property interests, AFMX purchased the properties from an unrelated third parties. For property interests purchased from AFMX, the price paid by the Company was equal to the price paid by AFMX plus the expenses incurred to transfer ownership of the property to the Company, which were minimal. There was no other benefit arising out of the transactions to the Managing Members or their affiliates apart from compensation otherwise permitted by the Operating Agreement. During the offering of Units, the Company's primary source of cash flow will be from the sale of LLC Units. The Company commenced the offering of LLC Units to the public through a registration statement that became effective October 20, 2005 and will continue until October 19, 2007, unless all 10,000,000 LLC Units are sold before then. The registration statement indicated that the Company would not be capitalized, and all subscription funds would be held in escrow, until the Company had received subscriptions for 150,000 Units ($1,500,000). The Company obtained subscriptions for the 150,000 Units required for release of escrow proceeds and on April 3, 2006, the Company accepted subscriptions for 193,231.6 Units for aggregate proceeds of $1,932,316. Through December 31, 2006, the Company raised a total of $8,821,268 from the sale of 882,126.8 Units. From subscription proceeds, the Company paid organization and syndication costs (which constitute a reduction of capital) of $1,307,017. After completion of the acquisition phase, the Company's primary use of cash flow is distribution and redemption payments to Members. The Company declares its regular quarterly distributions before the end of each quarter and pays the distribution in the first ten days after the end of each quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company declared distributions of $178,070, which were distributed 97% to Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members. Beginning in April 2009, the Company may acquire 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. ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. (Continued) The Operating Agreement requires that all proceeds from the sale of Units, subject to a reasonable reserve for ongoing operations, be invested or committed to investment in properties by the later of two years after the date of the Prospectus or twelve months after the offering terminates. As of the date of this filing, the Company had no formal contractual commitments to expend capital. Until capital is invested in properties, the Company will remain extremely liquid. After completion of property acquisitions, the Company will attempt to maintain a cash reserve of only approximately .5% of subscription proceeds. Because properties are purchased for cash and leased under triple-net leases, this is considered adequate to satisfy most contingencies. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 26 LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (1) Organization - AEI Income & Growth Fund 26 LLC (the Company), a Limited Liability Company, was formed on March 14, 2005 to acquire and lease commercial properties to operating tenants. The Company's operations are managed by AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing Member. Robert P. Johnson, the President and sole director of AFM, serves as the Special Managing Member. AFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation of which Mr. Johnson is the majority shareholder. AEI Fund Management, Inc. (AEI), an affiliate of AFM, performs the administrative and operating functions for the Company. The terms of the offering call for a subscription price of $10 per LLC Unit, payable on acceptance of the offer. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, 10,000,000 LLC Units are available for subscription which, if fully subscribed, will result in contributed Limited Members' capital of $100,000,000. The Company commenced operations on April 3, 2006 when minimum subscriptions of 150,000 LLC Units ($1,500,000) were accepted. At December 31, 2006, 882,126.8 Units ($8,821,268) were subscribed and accepted by the Company. The Managing Members have contributed capital of $1,000. The Company shall continue until December 31, 2055, unless dissolved, terminated and liquidated prior to that date. During operations, any Net Cash Flow, as defined, which the Managing Members determine to distribute will be distributed 97% to the Limited Members and 3% to the Managing Members. Distributions to Limited Members will be made pro rata by Units. Any Net Proceeds of Sale, as defined, from the sale or financing of properties which the Managing Members determine to distribute will, after provisions for debts and reserves, be paid in the following manner: (i) first, 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members until the Limited Members receive an amount equal to: (a) their Adjusted Capital Contribution plus (b) an amount equal to 6.5% 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 Members and 10% to the Managing Members. Distributions to the Limited Members 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 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. AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 26 LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (1) Organization - (Continued) For tax purposes, profits arising from the sale, financing, or other disposition of property will be allocated in accordance with the Operating Agreement as follows: (i) first, to those Members with deficit balances in their capital accounts in an amount equal to the sum of such deficit balances; (ii) second, 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members until the aggregate balance in the Limited Members' capital accounts equals the sum of the Limited Members' Adjusted Capital Contributions plus an amount equal to 6.5% 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 Members and 10% to the Managing Members. Losses will be allocated 99% to the Limited Members and 1% to the Managing Members. The Managing Members are not required to currently fund a deficit capital balance. Upon liquidation of the Company or withdrawal by a Managing Member, the Managing Members will contribute to the Company an amount equal to the lesser of the deficit balances in their capital accounts or 1.01% of the total capital contributions of the Limited Members over the amount previously contributed by the Managing Members. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Financial Statement Presentation The accounts of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting for both federal income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes. Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly assesses whether market events and conditions indicate that it is reasonably possible to recover the carrying amounts of its investments in real estate from future operations and sales. A change in those market events and conditions could have a material effect on the carrying amount of its real estate. Cash Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company's cash is deposited primarily in two financial institutions and at times during the year it may exceed FDIC insurance limits. AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 26 LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued) Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents may include cash in checking, cash invested in money market accounts, certificates of deposit, federal agency notes and commercial paper with a term of three months or less. Receivables Credit terms are extended to tenants in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral. Receivables are recorded at their estimated net realizable value. The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts; however, based on historical experience, and its evaluation of the current status of receivables, the Company is of the belief that such accounts will be collectible in all material respects and thus an allowance is not necessary. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with the Company's credit terms. Receivables considered uncollectible are written off. Income Taxes The income or loss of the Company for federal income tax reporting purposes is includable in the income tax returns of the Members. In general, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The tax return and the amount of distributable Company income or loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such an examination results in changes to distributable Company income or loss, the taxable income of the members would be adjusted accordingly. Real Estate The Company's real estate is leased under triple net leases classified as operating leases. The leases provide for base annual rental payments payable in monthly installments. The Company recognizes rental revenue according to the terms of the individual leases. For leases which contain stated rental increases, the increases are recognized in the year in which they are effective. Contingent rental payments are recognized when the contingencies on which the payments are based are satisfied and the rental payments become due under the terms of the leases. AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 26 LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued) Real estate is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The Company compares the carrying amount of its properties to the estimated probability- weighted 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 Company recognizes an impairment loss by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. The Company has capitalized as Investments in Real Estate certain costs incurred in the review and acquisition of the properties. The costs were allocated to the land, buildings and equipment. The buildings and equipment of the Company are depreciated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based on estimated useful lives of 25 years and 5 years, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, upon complete disposal of a property or classification of a property as Real Estate Held for Sale, the Company includes the operating results and sale of the property in discontinued operations. In addition, the Company reclassifies the prior periods operating results and any partial sales of the property to discontinued operations. The Company accounts for properties owned as tenants-in- common with affiliated Companies and/or unrelated third parties using the proportionate consolidation method. Each tenant-in-common owns a separate, undivided interest in the properties. Any tenant-in-common that holds more than a 50% interest does not control decisions over the other tenant-in-common interests. The financial statements reflect only this Company's percentage share of the properties' land, building and equipment, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company's properties are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental entities in the jurisdiction in which the properties are located. These laws could require the Company to investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of hazardous materials at these locations if found. For each property, an environmental assessment is completed prior to acquisition. In addition, the lease agreements typically strictly prohibit the production, handling, or storage of hazardous materials (except where incidental to the tenant's business such as use of cleaning supplies) in violation of applicable law to restrict environmental and other damage. Environmental liabilities are recorded when it is determined the liability is probable and the costs can reasonably be estimated. There were no environmental issues noted or liabilities recorded at December 31, 2006 and 2005. AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 26 LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2006 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Management has reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not expect the implementation of these pronouncements to have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements. (3) Related Party Transactions - The Company owns a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store. The remaining interest in this property is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC, an affiliate of the Company. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company purchased a 40% interest in a Sports Authority store for $2,230,753. The property was purchased from AEI Fund Management XVII, Inc. (AFMX), an affiliate of the Managing Members. In order to facilitate the purchase of the Company's first property, AFMX purchased the property from an unrelated third party on December 22, 2005. The remaining interest in this property is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund 25 LLC, an affiliate of the Company.

The remaining interest in the property in Crawfordsville is owned by AEI Income & Growth Fund XXII Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Company.

Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing Member concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company are adequately designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing Member, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Changes in internal controls There were no significant changes made in the Company's internal controls during the most recent period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. ITEM 8B. OTHER INFORMATION. None. PART III ITEM 9. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. The registrant is a limited liability company and has no officers, directors, or direct employees. The Managing Members manage and control the Company's affairs and have general responsibility and the ultimate authority in all matters affecting the Company's business. The Managing Members are AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. (AFM), the Managing Member, and Robert P. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, President and sole director of AFM, the Special Managing Member. AFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEI Capital Corporation of which Mr. Johnson is the majority shareholder. AFM has only one senior financial executive, its Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Financial Officer reports directly to Mr. Johnson and is accountable for his actions to Mr. Johnson. Although Mr. Johnson and AFM require that all of their personnel, including the Chief Financial Officer, engage in honest and ethical conduct, ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure, comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, and report to Mr. Johnson any deviation from these principles, because the organization is composed of only approximately 35 individuals, because the management of a company by an entity that has different interests in distributions and income than investors involves numerous conflicts of interest that must be resolved on a daily basis, and because the ultimate decision maker in all instances is Mr. Johnson, AFM has not adopted a formal code of conduct. Instead, the materials pursuant to which investors purchase Units disclose these conflicts of interest in detail and Mr. Johnson, as the CEO and sole director of AFM, resolves conflicts to the best of his ability, consistent with his fiduciary obligations to AFM and the fiduciary obligations of AFM to the Company. The director and officers of AFM are as follows: Robert P. Johnson, age 62, is Chief Executive Officer, President and sole director and has held these positions since the formation of AFM in August 1994, and has been elected to continue in these positions until December 2007. From 1970 to the present, he has been employed exclusively in the investment industry, specializing in limited partnership investments. In that capacity, he has been involved in the development, analysis, marketing and management of public and private investment programs investing in net lease properties as well as public and private investment programs investing in energy development. Since 1971, Mr. Johnson has been the president, a director and a registered principal of AEI Securities, Inc., which is registered with the SEC as a securities broker-dealer, is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) and is a member of the Security Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC). Mr. Johnson has been president, a director and the principal shareholder of AEI Fund Management, Inc., a real estate management company founded by him, since 1978. Mr. Johnson is currently a general partner or principal of the general partner in ten limited partnerships and a managing member in four LLCs. ITEM 9. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. (Continued) Patrick W. Keene, age 47, is Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and has held these positions since January 22, 2003 and has been elected to continue in these positions until December 2007. Mr. Keene has been employed by AEI Fund Management, Inc. and affiliated entities since 1986. Prior to being elected to the positions above, he was Controller of the various entities. From 1982 to 1986, Mr. Keene was with KPMG Peat Marwick Certified Public Accountants, first as an auditor and later as a tax manager. Mr. Keene is responsible for all accounting functions of AFM and the registrant. Since Mr. Johnson serves as the Special Managing Member of the Company, as well as the sole director of AFM, all of the duties that might be assigned to an audit committee are assigned to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson is not an audit committee financial expert, as defined. As an officer and majority owner, through a parent company, of AFM, and as the Special Managing Member, Mr. Johnson is not a "disinterested director" and may be subject to a number of conflicts of interests in his capacity as sole director of AFM. Before the independent auditors are engaged, Mr. Johnson, as the sole director of AFM, approves all audit-related fees, and all permissible nonaudit fees, for services of our auditors. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Under federal securities laws, the directors and officers of the Managing Member of the Company, and any beneficial owner of more than 10% of a class of equity securities of the Company, are required to report their ownership of the Company's equity securities and any changes in such ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Specific due dates for these reports have been established by the Commission, and the Company is required to disclose in this Annual Report on 10- KSB any delinquent filing of such reports and any failure to file such reports during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Based upon information provided by officers and directors of the Managing Member, all officers, directors and 10% owners filed all reports on a timely basis in the 2006 fiscal year. ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. The Managing Member and affiliates are reimbursed at cost for all services performed on behalf of the registrant and for all third party expenses paid on behalf of the registrant. The cost for services performed on behalf of the registrant will be actual time spent performing such services plus an overhead burden. These services include organizing the registrant and arranging for the offer and sale of Units, reviewing properties for acquisition and rendering administrative, property management and property sales services. The amount and nature of such payments are detailed in Item 12 of this annual report on Form 10- KSB. ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. The following table sets forth information pertaining to the ownership of the Units by each person known by the Company to beneficially own 5% or more of the Units, by each Managing Member, and by each officer or director of the Managing Member as of February 28, 2007: Name and Address Number of Percent of Beneficial Owner Units Held of Class AEI Fund Management XXI, Inc. 0 0% Robert P. Johnson 0 0% Patrick W. Keene 0 0% Address for all: 1300 Wells Fargo Place 30 East 7th Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 The Managing Members know of no holders of more than 5% of the outstanding Units. ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. The registrant, AFM and its affiliates have common management and utilize the same facilities. As a result, certain administrative expenses are allocated among these related entities. All of such activities and any other transactions involving the affiliates of the Managing Member of the registrant are governed by, and are conducted in conformity with, the limitations set forth in the Operating Agreement of the registrant. Reference is made to Note 3 of the Financial Statements, as presented, and is incorporated herein by reference, for details of related party transactions for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. Neither the registrant, nor the Managing Member of the registrant, has a board of directors consisting of any members who are "independent." The sole director of the Managing Member, Robert P. Johnson, is also the Special Managing Member of the registrant, and is the Chief Executive Officer, and indirectly the principal owner, of the Managing Member. Accordingly, there is no disinterested board, or other functioning body, that reviews related party transactions, or the transactions between the registrant and the Managing Members, except as performed in connection with the audit of its financial statements. The limitations included in the Operating Agreement require that the cumulative reimbursements to the Managing Members and their affiliates for certain expenses will not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) 20% of capital contributions, (ii) 1% of gross revenues, plus an initial leasing fee of 3% of gross revenues for the first five years of the original term of each lease, (iii) 3% of Net Proceeds of Sale, and (iv) 10% of Net Cash Flow less the Net Cash Flow actually distributed to the Managing Members. The cumulative reimbursements subject to this limitation are reimbursements for (i) organization and offering expenses, including commissions and an Organization Fee, (ii) acquisition expenses paid with proceeds from the initial offering of Units, (iii) services provided in the sales effort of properties, and (iv) expenses of controlling persons and overhead expenses directly attributable to the forgoing services or attributable to administrative services. As of December 31, 2006, these cumulative reimbursements to the Managing Members and their affiliates did not exceed the limitation amount. ITEM 12.
