AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 25 LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2018
(unaudited)

(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 United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) 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.

(2)  Organization – (Continued)

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.

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.

In July 2018, the Managing Member mailed a Consent Statement (Proxy) seeking the consent of the Limited Members to continue the Company for an additional 60 months or to initiate the final disposition, liquidation and distribution of all of the Company's properties and assets within 24 months.  The votes are scheduled to be counted on August 24, 2018.

(3)  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements –

In May 2014, with subsequent updates issued in August 2015 and March, April and May 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This standard was developed to enable financial statement users to better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The update's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  Entities are to use a five-step contract review model to ensure revenue is recognized, measured and disclosed in accordance with this principle.  Those steps include the following:  (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Management has concluded that all of the Company's material revenue streams fall outside of the scope of this guidance.  The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect, if any, recognized as of the date of adoption.  During 2018, the Company selected the modified retrospective transition method as of the date of adoption effective January 1, 2018.  Management has concluded that the majority of total revenues consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which are specifically excluded from the standard.  The Company analyzed its remaining revenue streams, inclusive of gains and losses on real estate sales, and concluded there are no changes in revenue recognition with the adoption of the new standard.  As such, adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative adjustment recognized as of January 1, 2018, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, which clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption.  We expect the new standard will result in all of our real estate acquisitions being considered asset acquisitions, whereby substantially all acquisition costs related to our real estate acquisitions will be capitalized.  Prior to the adoption of the new standard, all of our real estate acquisitions completed after January 1, 2009, were considered acquisitions of businesses, whereby all acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred.  During 2018, the Company has adopted the accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2018, and applied this guidance prospectively.  The adoption did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

(4)  Real Estate Investments –

The Company owns a 60% 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 June 30, 2018, the tenant owed $29,049 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 60% 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 60% share of annual rent, which commenced on June 18, 2018, is $55,607.  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.  At June 30, 2018, the Company accrued approximately $81,000 as a property expense for its 60% share of the remaining cost to replace the roof. At December 31, 2017, the Company accrued its 60% share of lease commissions due to real estate brokers totaling $81,440 that were owed as part of the lease transaction.  This amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the lease.  The Company is continuing to pursue additional tenants for the remaining space.

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company decided to sell the Fresenius Medical Center in Gretna, Louisiana.  In October 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party.  On December 6, 2017, the sale closed with the Company receiving net proceeds of $3,939,360, which resulted in a net gain of $757,670.  At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization was $3,456,892 and $275,202, respectively.

In February 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the tenant of the Advance Auto Parts store in Indianapolis, Indiana to extend the lease term five years to end on April 30, 2025.  As part of the agreement, the annual rent decreased from $51,630 to $44,079 effective January 1, 2018.  In addition, beginning on March 1, 2018, the tenant received free rent for four months that equaled $14,693.

(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' Capital –

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company declared distributions of $846,580 and $854,642, respectively.  The Limited Members received distributions of $823,203 and $829,003 and the Managing Members received distributions of $23,377 and $25,639 for the periods, respectively.  The Limited Members' distributions represented $20.60 and $20.62 per LLC Unit outstanding using 39,970 and 40,207 weighted average Units in 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The distributions represented $4.90 and $10.27 per Unit of Net Income and $15.70 and $10.35 per Unit of return of contributed capital in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As part of the distributions discussed above, the Company distributed net sale proceeds of $101,010 in 2018.  The Limited Members received distributions of $100,000 and the Managing Members received distributions of $1,010.  The Limited Members' distributions represented $2.51 per Unit.

On April 1, 2018, the Company repurchased a total of 144.25 Units for $97,414 from five Limited Members in accordance with the Operating Agreement.  On April 1, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 20.00 Units for $13,554 from one Limited Member.  The Company acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations.  The repurchases increase the remaining Limited Members' ownership interest in the Company.  As a result of these repurchases and pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Managing Members received distributions of $3,013 and $419 in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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.

- 12 -

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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized rental income of $1,018,465 and $1,126,018, respectively.  In 2018, rental income decreased due to the sale of one property in 2017 and a rent decrease related to the Advance Auto Parts store, as discussed below.  These decreases were partially offset by rent increases on three properties and rent received from a new tenant in the Wichita property.  Based on the scheduled rent for the properties as of July 31, 2018, the Company expects to recognize rental income from continuing operations of approximately $2,079,000 in 2018.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred LLC administration expenses from affiliated parties of $130,531 and $138,274, 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 $174,092 and $82,947, 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 2017, due to expenses related to the property in Wichita, Kansas.

The Company owns a 60% 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 June 30, 2018, the tenant owed $29,049 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 60% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property.

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

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 60% share of annual rent, which commenced on June 18, 2018, is $55,607.  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.  At June 30, 2018, the Company accrued approximately $81,000 as a property expense for its 60% share of the remaining cost to replace the roof. At December 31, 2017, the Company accrued its 60% share of lease commissions due to real estate brokers totaling $81,440 that were owed as part of the lease transaction.  This amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the lease.  The Company is continuing to pursue additional tenants for the remaining space.

In February 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with the tenant of the Advance Auto Parts store in Indianapolis, Indiana to extend the lease term five years to end on April 30, 2025.  As part of the agreement, the annual rent decreased from $51,630 to $44,079 effective January 1, 2018.  In addition, beginning on March 1, 2018, the tenant received free rent for four months that equaled $14,693.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized interest income of $14,002 and $3,151, respectively.

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 six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's cash balances decreased $392,772 as a result of distributions paid to the Members in excess of cash generated from operating activities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company's cash balances increased $219,199 as a result of cash generated from operating activities in excess of distributions paid to the Members and cash used to repurchase Units.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $1,085,708 in 2017 to $852,236 in 2018 as a result of a decrease in total rental and interest income in 2018, an increase in LLC administration and property management expenses in 2018 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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not complete any property acquisitions or property sales.

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

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company decided to sell the Fresenius Medical Center in Gretna, Louisiana.  In October 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party.  On December 6, 2017, the sale closed with the Company receiving net proceeds of $3,939,360, which resulted in a net gain of $757,670.  At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization was $3,456,892 and $275,202, respectively.

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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company declared distributions of $846,580 and $854,642, 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 $823,203 and $829,003 and the Managing Members received distributions of $23,377 and $25,639 for the periods, respectively.  In December 2017, the Company declared a special distribution of net sale proceeds of $292,929 which was paid in the first week of January 2018 and resulted in higher distributions paid in 2018 and a higher distributions payable at December 31, 2017.

As part of the distributions discussed above, the Company distributed net sale proceeds of $101,010 in 2018.  The Limited Members received distributions of $100,000 and the Managing Members received distributions of $1,010.  The Limited Members' distributions represented $2.51 per Unit.

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.

On April 1, 2018, the Company repurchased a total of 144.25 Units for $97,414 from five Limited Members in accordance with the Operating Agreement.  On April 1, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 20.00 Units for $13,554 from one Limited Member.  The Company acquired these Units using Net Cash Flow from operations.  The repurchases increase the remaining Limited Members' ownership interest in the Company.  As a result of these repurchases and pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Managing Members received distributions of $3,013 and $419 in 2018 and 2017, 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.
