Property Sales Drive Next Phase of Wind-Down

During the quarter, AEI completed the sale of two properties. The proceeds funded cash distributions to limited partners and covered ongoing expenses. At the end of the period, only three properties remained in the portfolio. All are either on the market or in the process of being listed.

AEI is working with local agents to manage these sales while ensuring tenant transitions are handled efficiently. The team remains focused on maximizing value as they exit each position.

Financials Reflect Leaner Operations

Earnings were up from the same period last year. The main drivers: profits from asset sales and lower expenses tied to a smaller property base. Lease income is trending down, as expected, but that’s by design. AEI is no longer focused on long-term property management—only on exiting assets and delivering capital back to investors.

The firm continues to operate without debt. No lines of credit are outstanding, and no new financing was taken on. Liquidity remains healthy, and cash is being used to support quarterly distributions.

Distributions Remain a Priority

AEI paid out distributions in both Q2 and Q3 using cash from property sales. The company has been clear: as more assets sell, more capital will be returned. It’s holding back modest reserves to manage final wrap-up costs and any remaining obligations, but most of the cash will go back to investors.

Once the last assets are sold and all liabilities are covered, AEI will make a final distribution before formally dissolving the partnership.

Operations Scaled to Fit the Exit Plan

To stay aligned with its exit strategy, AEI has been scaling back administrative operations. Contracts and vendor relationships tied to property management are being phased out. Staff levels and service needs are shrinking in line with the asset base.

The company is also preparing for the administrative close-out—final tax filings, legal steps for dissolution, and regulatory documentation are all in motion.

Looking Ahead

The finish line is in sight. AEI’s leadership expects the remaining sales to close over the next year, barring delays tied to market conditions or lease timelines. Until then, the focus stays on executing sales, distributing proceeds, and keeping investors informed along the way.

This is the final phase. The strategy hasn’t changed. AEI continues to stay disciplined, move deliberately, and work toward an orderly, complete wind-down.
