NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(1)  The condensed statements included herein have been prepared by the registrant, 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 registrant 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 registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

(2)  Organization –

AEI Income & Growth Fund 25 LLC (“Company”), a Limited Liability Company, was formed on June 24, 2002 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 called for a subscription price of $1,000 per LLC Unit, payable on acceptance of the offer.  The Company commenced operations on September 11, 2003 when minimum subscriptions of 1,500 LLC Units ($1,500,000) were accepted.  The offering terminated May 12, 2005, when the extended offering period expired.  The Company received subscriptions for 42,434.763 Units.  Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, the Limited Members and Managing Members contributed funds of $42,434,763 and $1,000, respectively.  The Company shall continue until December 31, 2053, 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 7% 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.

(2)  Organization – (Continued)

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 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 7% 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.

(3)  Reclassification –

Certain items related to discontinued operations in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2013 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on Members’ equity, net income or cash flows.

The Company incurred $28,944 of acquisition expenses related to the purchase that were expensed.  The property is leased to Macon Healthcare, LLC under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 11.7 years (as of the date of purchase) and annual rent of $79,625 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC, an affiliate of the Company.

(4)  Real Estate Held for Investment – (Continued)

On June 12, 2013, the Company purchased a 73% interest in a PetSmart store in Gonzales, Louisiana for $2,277,600.  The Company allocated $498,236 of the purchase price to Acquired Intangible Lease Assets, representing in-place lease intangibles of $310,984 and above-market lease intangibles of $187,252. The Company incurred $52,911 of acquisition expenses related to the purchase that were expensed.  The property is leased to PetSmart, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 9.6 years and annual rent of $170,836 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the value of in-place lease intangibles amortized to expense was $42,952 and $28,586, respectively, and the decrease to rental income for above-market leases was $17,158 and $2,727, respectively.  For lease intangibles owned as of September 30, 2013, the weighted average remaining life is 100 months for in-place lease intangibles and 119 months for above-market leases, the estimated amortization expense is $78,903 and the estimated decrease to rental income is $35,902 for each of the next five succeeding years.

In September 2012, the Company sold 18,208 square feet of land from the Jared Jewelry property in Aurora, Illinois, pursuant to a threat of condemnation from the state of Illinois Department of Transportation.  The Company received net proceeds of $452,523, which resulted in a net loss of $464.  The cost allocated to the parcel of land was $452,987.  This transaction had no effect on the rental income or other lease terms for the property.

(5)  Payable to AEI Fund Management, Inc. –

(6)  Discontinued Operations – (Continued)

In September 2013, the Company decided to sell its 50% interest in the Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  At September 30, 2013, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $785,125.

In September 2013, the Company decided to sell the Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado, and classified it as Real Estate Held for Sale.  Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis, the Company determined the Johnny Carino’s restaurant was impaired.  As a result, in the third quarter of 2013, a charge to discontinued operations for real estate impairment of $622,107 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at September 30, 2013 of $1,672,107 and the estimated fair value of $1,050,000.  The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building.

During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company distributed net sale proceeds of $106,768 and $106,768 to the Limited and Managing Members as part of their quarterly distributions, which represented a return of capital of $2.53 and $2.52 per LLC Unit, respectively.

The financial results for these properties are reflected as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial statements.  The following are the results of discontinued operations:

(7)  Fair Value Measurements –

Fair value, as defined by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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, 2013, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis that would require disclosure under this pronouncement.

The Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado, with a carrying amount of $1,672,107 at September 30, 2013, was written down to its fair value of $1,050,000 after completing our long-lived asset valuation analysis.  The resulting impairment charge of $622,107 was included in earnings for the third quarter of 2013.  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.

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

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 (not including acquisition expenses).  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.

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 leases will be amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining terms 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.

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

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

The carrying value of the properties is initially recorded at cost, not including acquisition expenses. 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.

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, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized rental income from continuing operations of $1,819,305 and $1,733,944, respectively.  In 2013, rental income increased due to additional rent received from two property acquisitions in 2012 and 2013 and a rent increase on one property.  Based on the scheduled rent for the properties owned as of October 31, 2013, the Company expects to recognize rental income from continuing operations of approximately $2,450,000 and $2,544,000 in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred LLC administration expenses from affiliated parties of $238,544 and $259,483, 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 $73,339 and $53,272, 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred property acquisition expenses of $52,911 related to the purchase of the PetSmart store in Gonzales, Louisiana.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred property acquisition expenses of $27,240 related to the purchase of the Coliseum Health urgent care clinic in Macon, Georgia.

In September 2012, the Company sold 18,208 square feet of land from the Jared Jewelry property in Aurora, Illinois, pursuant to a threat of condemnation from the state of Illinois Department of Transportation.  The Company received net proceeds of $452,523, which resulted in a net loss of $464.  The cost allocated to the parcel of land was $452,987.  This transaction had no effect on the rental income or other lease terms for the property.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized interest income of $5,489 and $6,763, respectively.

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 of the property to discontinued operations.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a loss from discontinued operations of $217,190 representing a real estate impairment of $622,107, which was partially offset by rental income less property management expenses and depreciation of $128,777 and gain on disposal of real estate of $276,140.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $1,066,189 representing rental income less property management expenses and depreciation of $206,462 and gain on disposal of real estate of $859,727.

In March 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Tractor Supply Company store in Marion, Indiana to an unrelated third party.  On May 1, 2012, the sale closed with the Company receiving net sale proceeds of $3,050,707, which resulted in a net gain of $859,727.  At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $2,939,385 and $748,405, respectively.

On August 2, 2013, the Company sold its 21% interest in the Scott & White Clinic in College Station, Texas to an unrelated third party.  The Company received net sale proceeds of $981,338, which resulted in a net gain of $276,140.  At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $771,868 and $66,670, respectively.

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

In September 2013, the Company decided to sell its 50% interest in the Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  At September 30, 2013, the property was classified as Real Estate Held for Sale with a carrying value of $785,125.

In September 2013, the Company decided to sell the Johnny Carino’s restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado, and classified it as Real Estate Held for Sale.  Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis, the Company determined the Johnny Carino’s restaurant was impaired.  As a result, in the third quarter of 2013, a charge to discontinued operations for real estate impairment of $622,107 was recognized, which was the difference between the carrying value at September 30, 2013 of $1,672,107 and the estimated fair value of $1,050,000.  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, 2013, the Company's cash balances decreased $1,240,355 as a result of cash used to purchase property, which was partially offset by cash generated from the sale of property and cash generated from operating activities in excess of distributions and redemption payments paid to the Members.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company's cash balances increased $2,407,651 as a result of cash generated from the sale of property, which was partially offset by cash used to purchase property and distributions and redemption payments paid to the Members in excess of cash generated from operating activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $1,756,105 in 2012 to $1,723,832 in 2013 as a result of net timing differences in the collection of payments from the tenants and the payment of expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in total rental and interest income in 2013.  During 2013 and 2012, cash from operations was reduced by $52,911 and $27,240, respectively, of acquisition expenses related to the purchase of real estate.  Pursuant to accounting guidance, these expenses were reflected as operating cash outflows.  However, pursuant to the Company’s Operating Agreement, acquisition expenses were funded with proceeds from property sales.

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, 2013 and 2012, the Company generated cash flow from the sale of real estate of $981,338 and $3,503,230, respectively.  During the same periods, the Company expended $2,277,600 and $967,500 to invest in real properties as the Company reinvested cash generated from property sales.

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

On July 25, 2012, the Company purchased a 50% interest in a Coliseum Health urgent care clinic in Macon, Georgia for $967,500.  The property is leased to Macon Healthcare, LLC under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 11.7 years (as of the date of purchase) and annual rent of $79,625 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC, an affiliate of the Company.

On June 12, 2013, the Company purchased a 73% interest in a PetSmart store in Gonzales, Louisiana for $2,277,600.  The property is leased to PetSmart, Inc. under a Lease Agreement with a remaining primary term of 9.6 years and annual rent of $170,836 for the interest purchased.  The remaining interest in the property was purchased by AEI Income & Growth Fund 24 LLC.

The Company's primary use of cash flow, other than investment in real estate, 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 week after the end of each quarter.  The Company attempts to maintain a stable distribution rate from quarter to quarter.  Redemption payments are paid to redeeming Members on a semi-annual basis.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company declared distributions of $1,741,602 and $1,741,617, 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 $1,691,490 and $1,691,504 and the Managing Members received distributions of $50,112 and $50,113 for the periods, respectively.  In September 2013 and June 2012, the Company declared special distributions of net sale proceeds of $106,768.  The special distributions represented a return of capital of $2.53 and $2.52 per LLC unit, respectively.  The Company anticipates the remaining net sale proceeds will either be reinvested in additional property or distributed to the Members in the future.

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.

On April 1, 2013, five Limited Members redeemed a total of 49.58 Units for $32,098 in accordance with the Operating Agreement.  On April 1, 2012, two Limited Members redeemed a total of 55.0 Units for $34,726.  The Company acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations.  The redemptions increase the remaining Limited Members’ ownership interest in the Company.  As a result of these redemption payments and pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Managing Members received distributions of $993 and $1,074 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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.

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

The Economy and Market Conditions

The impact of conditions in the economy over the last several years, including the turmoil in the credit markets, has adversely affected many real estate investment funds.  However, the absence of mortgage financing on the Company’s properties eliminates the risks of foreclosure and debt-refinancing that can negatively impact the value and distributions of leveraged real estate investment funds.  Nevertheless, a prolonged economic downturn may adversely affect the operations of the Company’s tenants and their cash flows.  If a tenant were to default on its lease obligations, the Company’s income would decrease, its distributions would likely be reduced and the value of its properties might decline.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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.
