WELLS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) General
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland
corporation formed on July 3, 1997. The Company is the sole general partner
of Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Wells OP"), a Delaware limited
partnership organized for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning,
operating, improving, leasing, and otherwise managing for investment
purposes income-producing commercial properties on behalf of the Company.
On January 30, 1998, the Company commenced a public offering of up to
16,500,000 shares of common stock ($10 per share) pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company
commenced active operations on June 5, 1998, when it received and accepted
subscriptions for 125,000 shares. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
sold 10,846,930 shares for total capital contributions of $108,469,304.
After payment of $3,796,391 in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition
expenses, payment of $13,558,538 in selling commissions and organization and
offering expenses, and investment by Wells OP of $89,919,734 in property
acquisitions, as of September 30, 1999, the Company was holding net offering
proceeds of $1,194,641 available for investment in properties.
Wells OP owns interests in properties both directly and through equity
ownership in the following joint ventures: (i) the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint
Venture, a joint venture among Wells OP and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P.,
Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. (the
"Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture"), (ii) Wells/Fremont Associates (the
"Fremont Joint Venture"), a joint venture between Wells OP and Fund X and
Fund XI Associates, which is a joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund
X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. (the "Fund X-XI Joint Venture"),
(iii) Wells/Orange County Associates (the "Cort Joint Venture"), a joint
venture between Wells OP and the Fund X-XI Joint Venture, and (iv) the Fund
XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, a joint venture among Wells OP, Wells Real Estate
Fund XI, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. (the "Fund XI-XII-REIT
Joint Venture").
As of September 30, 1999, Wells OP owned interests in the following
properties: (i) a three story office building in Knoxville, Tennessee (the
"ABB Building"), (ii) a two-story office building in Louisville, Colorado
(the "Ohmeda Building"), (iii) a three-story office building in Broomfield,
Colorado (the "360 Interlocken Building"), (iv) a one-story office building
in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the "Lucent Technologies Building"), (v) a one-
story warehouse and office building in Ogden, Utah (the "Iomega Building"),
all five of which
-7-
<PAGE>
are owned by the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture, (vi) a two-story warehouse
and office building in Fremont, California (the "Fairchild Building"), which
is owned by the Fremont Joint Venture, (vii) a one-story warehouse and
office building in Fountain Valley, California (the "Cort Building"), which
is owned by the Cort Joint Venture, (viii) a four-story office building in
Tampa, Florida (the "PWC Building"), (ix) a four-story office building in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (the "AT&T Building"), which are owned directly by
Wells OP, (x) a two-story manufacturing and office building located in
Fountain Inn, South Carolina (the "EYBL CarTex Building"), (xi) a three-
story office building located in Leawood, Kansas (the "Sprint Building"),
(xii) a one-story office building and warehouse in Tredyffrin Township,
Pennsylvania (the "Johnson Matthey Building"), (xiii) a two-story office
building in Ft. Meyers, Florida (the "Gartner Building"), all four of which
are owned by Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, (xiv) a two-story office
building under construction located in Lake Forest, California (the
"Matsushita Project"), (xv) a four-story office building under construction
in Richmond, Virginia (the "ABB Building"), and (xvi) a two-story office
building and warehouse in Wood Dale, Illinois (the "Videojet Building"), all
three of which are owned directly by Wells OP.
(b) Employees
The Company has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
the Company's Advisor (the "Advisor"), perform a full range of real estate
services including leasing and property management, accounting, asset
management, and investor relations for the Company.
(c) Insurance
Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Company and the Advisor,
carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all
the properties owned directly or indirectly by the Company. In the opinion
of management, the properties are adequately insured.
(d) Competition
The Company will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers
of competing projects which may include its affiliates. As a result, the
Company may be required to provide free rent, reduced charges for tenant
improvements, and other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact
on results of operations. At the time the Company elects to dispose of its
properties, the Company will also be in competition with sellers of similar
properties to locate suitable purchasers for its properties.
(e) Basis of Presentation
Substantially all of the Company's business will be conducted through Wells
OP. At December 31, 1997, Wells OP had issued 20,000 limited partner units
to Wells Capital Inc., the Advisor, in exchange for a capital contribution
of $200,000. The Company is the sole general partner in Wells OP and
possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells OP;
consequently, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Company
include the amounts of the Company and Wells OP.
-8-
<PAGE>
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These quarterly statements
have not been examined by independent accountants, but in the opinion of the
board of directors, the statements for the unaudited interim periods
presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring
nature, necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such
periods. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998.
(f) Distribution Policy
The Company is required to make distributions each taxable year (not
including a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) equal to at
least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income. The Company
intends to make regular quarterly dividend distributions to holders of the
shares. Distributions will be made to those shareholders who are
shareholders as of the record dates selected by the directors. Distributions
will be paid on a quarterly basis.
(g) Income Taxes
The Company has made an election under Section 856(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under the Code beginning with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1998. As a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the
Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that
it distributes to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a
REIT in any taxable year, it will then be subject to federal income tax on
its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to
qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four
years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event
could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash
available to distribute to shareholders. However, the Company believes that
it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as
a REIT and intends to continue to operate in the foreseeable future in such
a manner so that the Company will remain qualified as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes.
(h) Statements of Cash Flows
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and
short-term investments.
2. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
The Company owns interests in 14 office buildings and 2 office buildings
under construction through its ownership in Wells OP which owns properties
directly or through its interest in four joint ventures. The Company does
not have control over the operations of these joint ventures; however, it
does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investments in joint
ventures are recorded using the equity method.

<PAGE>
The following describes additional information about the properties in which
the Company owns interests as of September 30, 1999:
The Sprint Building
On July 2, 1999, the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture acquired a three-
story office building with approximately 68,900 rentable square feet on
a 7.12-acre tract of land located in Leawood, Johnson County, Kansas
(the "Sprint Building") from Bridge Information Systems America, Inc.
The purchase price for the Sprint Building was $9,500,000. The Fund XI-
XII-REIT Joint Venture also incurred additional acquisition expenses in
connection with the purchase of the Sprint Building, including
attorneys' fees, recording fees, and other closing costs, of
approximately $46,210.
The entire 68,900 rentable square feet of the Sprint Building are
currently under a net lease agreement with Sprint Communications, Inc.
("Sprint") dated February 14, 1997 (the "Lease"). The landlord's
interest in the Lease was assigned to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture
at the closing.
The initial term of the Lease is ten years which commenced on May 19,
1997 and expires on May 18, 2007. Sprint has the right to extend the
Lease for two additional five-year periods of time.
The monthly base rent payable under the Lease is $83,254.17 ($14.50 per
square foot) through May 18, 2002 and $91,866.67 ($16 per square foot)
for the remainder of the lease term. The monthly base rent payable for
each extended term of the Lease will be equal to 95% of the then
"current market rate" which is calculated as a full-service rental rate
less anticipated annual operating expenses on a rentable square foot
basis charged for space of comparable location, size, and conditions in
comparable office buildings in the suburban south Kansas City, Missouri,
and south Johnson County, Kansas, areas.
Under the Lease, Sprint is required to pay as additional rent all real
estate taxes, special assessments, utilities, taxes, insurance, and
other operating costs with respect to the Sprint Building during the
term of the Lease. In addition, Sprint is responsible for all routine
maintenance and repairs including the interior mechanical and electrical
systems, the HVAC system, the parking lot, and the landscaping to the
Sprint Building. The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as landlord, is
responsible for repair and replacement of the exterior, roof,
foundation, and structure.
The Lease contains a termination option which may be exercised by Sprint
effective as of May 18, 2004 provided that Sprint has not exercised
either expansion option, as described below. Sprint must provide notice
to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture of its intent to exercise its
termination option on or before August 21, 2003. If Sprint exercises
its termination option, it will be required to pay the Fund XI-XII-REIT
Joint Venture a termination payment equal to $6.53 per square foot, or
$450,199.
-10-
<PAGE>
Sprint also has an expansion option for an additional 20,000 square feet
of office space which may be exercised in two expansion phases.
Sprint's expansion rights involve building on unfinished ground-level
space that is currently used as covered parking within the existing
building footprint and shell. At each exercise of an expansion option,
the remaining lease term will be extended to be a minimum of an
additional five years from the date of the completion of such expansion
space.
For additional information regarding the Sprint Building, refer to the
Form 8-K of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. dated July 2, 1999,
which was filed with the Commission on July 16, 1999 (Commission File
No. 0-25739).
The Johnson Matthey Building
On August 17, 1999, the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture acquired a
research and development office and warehouse building located in
Chester County, Pennsylvania, from Alliance Commercial Properties Ltd.
Wells Capital, Inc., as original purchaser under the agreement, assigned
its rights under the agreement to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture at
closing. The purchase price paid for the Johnson Matthey Building was
$8,000,000. The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture also incurred additional
acquisition expenses in connection with the purchase of the Johnson
Matthey Building, including attorneys' fees, recording fees, and other
closing costs, of approximately $50,000.
The Johnson Matthey Building is a 130,000 square-foot research and
development office and warehouse building that was first constructed in
1973 as a multitenant facility. It was subsequently converted into a
single-tenant facility in 1998. The site consists of a ten-acre tract
of land located at 434-436 Devon Park Drive in the Tredyffrin Township,
Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The entire 130,000 rentable square feet of the Johnson Matthey Building
are currently leased to Johnson Matthey. The Johnson Matthey lease was
assigned to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture at the closing with the
result that the joint venture is now the landlord under the lease. The
annual base rent payable under the Johnson Matthey lease for the
remainder of the lease term is as follows: year three-$789,750, year
four-$809,250, year five-$828,750, year six-$854,750, year seven-
$874,250, year eight-$897,000, year nine-$916,500, and year ten-
$939,250.
The current lease term expires in June 2007. Johnson Matthey has the
right to extend the lease for two additional three-year periods of time.
Under the lease, Johnson Matthey is required to pay as additional rent
all real estate taxes, special assessments, utilities, taxes, insurance,
and other operating costs with respect to the Johnson Matthey Building
during the term of the lease. In addition, Johnson Matthey is
responsible for all routine maintenance and repairs to the Johnson
Matthey Building. The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as landlord, is
responsible for maintenance of the footings and foundations and the
structural steel columns and girders associated with the building.
Johnson Matthey has a right of first refusal to purchase the Johnson
Matthey Building in the event that the Fund XI-XII REIT Joint Venture
desires to sell the
-11-
<PAGE>
building to an unrelated third party. The joint venture must give
Johnson Matthey written notice of its intent to sell the Johnson Matthey
Building, and Johnson Matthey will have ten days from the date of such
notice to provide written notice of its intent to purchase the building.
If Johnson Matthey exercises its right of first refusal, it must
purchase the Johnson Matthey Building on the same terms contained in the
offer.
For additional information regarding the Johnson Matthey Building, refer
to Supplement No. 10 dated October 10, 1999, to the Prospectus of Wells
Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. dated January 30, 1998, contained in
Post-Effective Amendment No. 7 to Form S-11 Registration Statement of
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., which was filed with the
Commission on October 14, 1999 (Commission File No. 333-32099).
The Videojet Building
On September 10, 1999, Wells OP acquired an office, assembly, and
manufacturing building containing approximately 250,354 rentable square
feet on a 15.3-acre tract of land located in Wood Dale, DuPage County,
Illinois. Wells OP acquired the Videojet Building from Sun-Pla, a
California limited partnership, pursuant to the agreement of purchase
and sale (the "Contract"). The rights under the Contract were assigned
by Wells Capital, Inc., the original purchaser under the Contract, to
Wells OP at closing. The purchase price for the Videojet Building was
$32,630,940. In addition, Wells OP paid brokerage commissions of
$500,000 at closing. Wells OP incurred acquisition expenses in
connection with the purchase of the Videojet Building, including
attorneys' fees, appraisers' fees, environmental consultants' fees, and
other closing costs, of approximately $27,925.
The Videojet Building is a two-story corporate headquarters facility
with 128,247 square feet of office space and 122,107 square feet of
assembly and distribution space. The Videojet Building was completed in
1991 and is located at 1500 Mittel Boulevard in the Chancellory Business
Park in Wood Dale, Illinois. The site is a 15.3-acre tract of land that
is adjacent to the western entrance to O'Hare International Airport.
The entire 250,354 rentable square feet of the Videojet Building are
currently under a net lease agreement with Videojet dated May 31, 1991
(the "Videojet Lease"). The landlord's interest in the Videojet Lease
was assigned to Wells OP at the closing. The initial term of the
Videojet Lease is 20 years which commenced in November 1991 and expires
in November 2011. Videojet has the right to extend the Videojet Lease
for one additional five-year period of time. The extension option must
be exercised by giving notice to the landlord at least 365 days prior to
the expiration date of the current lease term.
The base rent payable for the remainder of the Videojet Lease term is as

The Gartner Building
On September 20, 1999, the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture acquired a
two-story office building with approximately 62,400 rentable square feet
on a 4.9-acre tract of land located at 12600 Gateway Boulevard in Fort
Myers, Lee County, Florida, from Hogan Triad Ft. Myers I, Ltd., a
Florida limited partnership.
The rights under the contract were assigned by Wells Capital, Inc, the
original purchaser under the contract, to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint
Venture at closing. The purchase price for the Gartner Building was
$8,320,000. The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture also incurred additional
acquisition expenses in connection with the purchase of the Gartner
Building, including attorneys' fees, recording fees, and other closing
costs, of approximately $27,600.
The entire 62,400 rentable square feet of the Gartner Building are
currently under a net lease agreement with Gartner dated July 30, 1997
(the "Gartner Lease"). The landlord's interest in the Gartner Lease was
assigned to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture at the closing.
The initial term of the Gartner Lease is ten years which commenced on
February 1, 1998 and expires on January 31, 2008. Gartner has the right
to extend the Gartner Lease for two additional five-year periods of
time. The yearly base rent payable for the remainder of the Gartner
Lease term is $642,798 through January 2000, $790,642 through January
2001, and thereafter will increase by 2.5% through the remainder of the
Gartner Lease.
Under the Gartner Lease, Gartner is required to pay as additional rent
all real estate taxes, special assessments, utilities, taxes, insurance,
and other operating costs with respect to the Gartner Building during
the term of the Gartner Lease. In addition, Gartner is responsible for
all routine maintenance and repairs to the Gartner Building. The Fund
XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as landlord, is responsible for repairs and
replacement of the roof, structures, and paved parking areas.
Gartner also has two expansion options for additional buildings under
the Gartner Lease. The two option plans are described in the Gartner
Lease as the "Small Option Building" and the "Large Option Building."
The "Small Option Building" expansion option allows Gartner the ability
to expand into a separate, free-standing facility on the property
containing between 30,000 and 32,000 rentable square feet to be
constructed by the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint
-13-
<PAGE>
Venture. Gartner may exercise its expansion right for the "Small Option
Building" by providing notice in writing to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint
Venture on or before February 15, 2002.
The "Large Option Building" expansion option allows Gartner the ability
to expand into a separate, free-standing facility on the property
containing between 60,000 and 75,000 rentable square feet to be
constructed by the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture. Gartner may exercise
its expansion right for the "Small Option Building" by providing notice
in writing to the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture on or before February
15, 2002.
For additional information regarding the Gartner Building, refer to the
Form 8-K of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. dated September 20,
1999, which was filed with the Commission on October 5, 1999 (Commission
File No. 0-25739).

N.A. (the "Bank of America"), formerly known as NationsBank, N.A., on
February 4, 1999 with an outstanding balance of $203,504 at September 30,
1999. The Bank of America loan matures on January 4, 2002. The interest
rate on the Bank of America loan is a fixed rate equal to the rate
appearing on Telerate Page 3750 as the London InterBank Offered Rate plus
200 basis points over a six-month period. The interest rate is fixed for
the initial six months of the loan at 7% per annum. Wells OP is required to

-14-
<PAGE>
principal in an amount to one-ninth of the outstanding principal balance as
of October 1, 1999. The Bank of America loan is secured by a first mortgage
against the AT&T Building.
Wells OP also obtained a revolving credit facility loan in the amount of
$15,500,000 on December 31, 1998 from SouthTrust Bank with an outstanding
balance of $11,500,000 at September 30, 1999. The SouthTrust Loan matures
on December 31, 2000. The interest rate on the SouthTrust Loan is a
variable rate per annum equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate for a
30-day period, plus 185 basis points. The SouthTrust Loan is secured by a
first mortgage against the PWC Building.
Wells OP obtained a construction loan dated May 10, 1999 from Bank of
America, N.A., formerly known as NationsBank, N.A., with a maximum
principal amount of $15,375,000, the proceeds of the loan are being used to
fund the development and construction of the Matsushita Project (the
"Matsushita Loan"). At September 30, 1999, the balance on the Matsushita
Loan was $5,222,553. The Matsushita Loan will mature 24 months from the
date of the loan closing. The interest rate on the Matsushita Loan will be
a variable rate equal to either (1) the Bank of America "prime rate" or (2)
at the option of Wells OP, the rate per annum appearing on Telerate Page
3750 as the London InterBank Offered Rate for a 30-day period, plus 200
basis points. Wells OP will make monthly installments of interest, and
commencing one year after the date of the loan closing, Wells OP will make
monthly installments of principal in the amount of $10,703 until maturity.
On the maturity date, the entire outstanding principal balance plus any
accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable. At the closing, Wells
OP paid a nonrefundable origination fee of $76,900 to Bank of America. The
Matsushita Loan was secured by a first priority mortgage against the
Matsushita Project. Leo F. Wells, III (an officer and director of the
Company and the Advisor) and the Company will be coguarantors of the
Matsushita Loan.
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
On March 15, 1999, Wells OP purchased an 8.8 tract of land in Lake Forest,
Orange County, California, for a purchase price of $4,450,230. On February
18, 1999, Wells OP entered into an office lease with Matsushita Avionics
Systems Corporation ("Matsushita Avionics") for the occupancy of a to be
constructed two-story office building containing approximately 150,000
rentable square feet on this tract (the "Matsushita Project"). Matsushita
Avionics currently occupies an existing building owned by Fund VIII and IX
Joint Venture, a joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P.
and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P.--related parties to Wells OP.
On February 18, 1999, Wells OP entered into a rental income guaranty
agreement with Fund VIII and IX Joint Venture, whereby Wells OP guaranteed
the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture that the joint venture would receive
rental income on the existing building at least equal to the rent and
building expenses that the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture would have
received over the remaining term of the existing lease. Matsushita Avionics
will vacate the existing building in December 1999, with the existing lease
term ending in September 2003. Current rental and building expenses are
approximately $90,000 per month.
The Company's maximum liability to Fund VIII-Fund XI Joint Venture for
rental income and building expenses for the existing building was included
in the economic analysis for developing the Matsushita Project. The Company
anticipates that the ultimate liability will
-15-
<PAGE>
be less than the maximum liability; however, management cannot determine at
this time the ultimate liability under the rental income guaranty
agreement. Any payment made to the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture for
rental income and building expenses will be made from the Wells REIT
operating cash flow and will reduce cash available for dividends.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the accompanying financial statements of the Company and notes thereto.
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including discussion and analysis of the financial
condition of the Company, anticipated capital expenditures required to
complete certain projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated to be
distributed to the shareholders in the future, and certain other matters.
Readers of this report should be aware that there are various factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statements made in this report, which include construction costs which may
exceed estimates, construction delays, financing risks, lease-up risks,
inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases, and
the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital
expenditures out of operating cash flow.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999 and 1998 were $2,850,263
and $591,122, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents
resulted primarily from raising additional capital and represents funds
held which are awaiting investment in real property acquisitions.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had acquired interests in 16 real
estate properties. These properties are generating sufficient cash flow to
cover the operating expenses of the Company and pay quarterly dividends.
Dividends declared for the third quarter of 1999 totaled $0.175 per share,
which were declared on a daily record date basis in the amount of $0.1902
per share payable to the shareholders of record at the close of business of
each day during the third quarter of 1999, commencing on July 1, 1999, and
continuing on each day thereafter through and including September 30, 1999.
Upon completion of the initial public offering of the Company's common
stock, which will occur on or before January 30, 2000, the Company
anticipates offering an additional 20,000,000 shares to the public on a
best efforts basis at $10 per share, plus 2,200,000 shares to be issued
pursuant to the Company's dividend reinvestment plan at $10 per share. The
Company filed a registration statement for this offering with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 1999 (Commission File No.
333-83933).
On February 18, 1999, Wells OP entered into a rental income guaranty
agreement with Fund VIII and IX Joint Venture, whereby Wells OP guaranteed
the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture that the joint venture would receive
rental income on the existing building at least equal to the rent and
building expenses that the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture would have
received over the remaining term of the existing lease. Matsushita Avionics
will vacate the existing building in December 1999, with the existing lease
term ending in
-16-
<PAGE>
September 2003. Current rental and building expenses are approximately
$90,000 per month.
The Company's maximum liability to Fund VIII-Fund XI Joint Venture for
rental income and building expenses for the existing Matsushita Avionics
building (Note 7) was included in the economic analysis for developing the
Matsushita Project. The Company anticipates that the ultimate liability
will be less than the maximum liability; however, management cannot
determine at this time the ultimate liability under the rental income
guaranty agreement. Any payment made to the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture
for rental income and building expenses will be made from the Wells REIT
operating cash flow and will reduce cash available for dividends.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,273,102 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and $20,007 for the four-month period ended
September 30, 1998. The increase in net cash provided by operating
activities was due primarily to the purchase of additional properties in
1999 and a full nine months of operations of the properties acquired during
1998.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities from $9,959,917 for
the four months ended September 30, 1998 to $75,420,671 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was due primarily to the raising of additional
capital and funds that have been invested in real property acquisitions.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities from $10,330,032
for the four months ended September 30, 1998 to $68,018,429 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 was due primarily to the raising of
additional capital. The Company raised $76,927,944 in offering proceeds for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $11,691,923 for the
four months ended September 30, 1998. In addition, the Company received
loan proceeds from financing placed on properties of $25,598,666 and repaid
notes payable in the amount of $22,732,539.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 1999, the properties owned by the Company were 99.99%
occupied. Gross revenues for the four months ended September 30, 1998 and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $84,209 and $3,996,290,
respectively. This increase was due to the purchase of interests in
additional properties during 1999 and 1998 and a full nine months of
operations of the properties acquired during 1998. The purchase of
interests in additional properties also resulted in an increase in rental
income, operating expenses, and depreciation expense.
Year 2000
The Company is presently reviewing the potential impact of Year 2000
compliance issues on its information systems and business operations. A
full assessment of Year 2000
-17-
<PAGE>
compliance issues was begun in late 1997 and was completed during the first
half of 1999. Renovations and replacements of equipment have been and are
being made as warranted as the assessment progresses. The costs incurred by
the Company and its affiliates thus far for renovations and replacements
have been immaterial. As of September 30, 1999, all testing of systems has
been completed.
As to the status of the Company's information technology systems, it is
presently believed that all major systems and software packages are Year
2000 compliant. At the present time, it is believed that all major
noninformation technology systems are Year 2000 compliant. The cost to
upgrade any noncompliant systems is believed to be immaterial.
The Company has confirmed with the Company's vendors, including third-party
service providers such as banks, that their systems are Year 2000
compliant.
The Company relies on computers and operating systems provided by equipment
manufacturers and also on application software designed for use with its
accounting, property management, and investment portfolio tracking. The
Company has preliminarily determined that any costs, problems, or
uncertainties associated with the potential consequences of Year 2000
issues are not expected to have a material impact on the future operations
or financial conditions of the Company. The Company will perform due
diligence as to the Year 2000 readiness of each property owned by the
Company and each property contemplated for purchase by the Company.
The Company's reliance on embedded computer systems (i.e.,
microcontrollers) is limited to facilities-related matters, such as office
security systems and environmental control systems.
The Company is currently formulating contingency plans to cover any areas
of concern. Alternate means of operating the business are being developed
in the unlikely circumstance that the computer and telephone systems are
rendered inoperable. An off-site facility from which the Company could
operate is being sought as well as alternate means of communication with
key third-party vendors. A written plan is being developed for testing and
dispensed to each staff member of the Advisor of the Company.
Management believes that the Company's risk of Year 2000 problems is
minimal. In the unlikely event there is a problem, the worst-case scenarios
would include the risks that the elevators or security systems within the
Company's properties would fail or the key third-party vendors upon which
the Company relies would be unable to provide accurate investor
information. In the event that the elevators shut down, the Company has
devised a plan for each building whereby the tenants will use the stairs
until the elevators are fixed. In the event that the security systems shut
down, the Company has devised a plan for each building to hire temporary
on-site security guards. In the event that a third-party vendor has Year
2000 problems relating to investor information, the Company intends to
perform a full system back-up of all investor information as of December
31, 1999 so that the Company will have accurate hard-copy investor
information.

</TABLE>
Rental income increased in 1999 over 1998 due primarily to the increased
occupancy level of the property. Other operating expenses were negative for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 due to an offset of tenant
reimbursements in operating costs, as well as management and leasing fee
reimbursements. Tenants are billed an estimated amount for current year common-
area maintenance which is then reconciled during the following year and the
difference billed to the tenants. Total expenses increased for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999 over the same period for 1998 due to increased
depreciation and management and leasing fees as the building was leased up.
Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company for the quarter and
nine-month period increased significantly in 1999 over 1998 amounts. The
Company's ownership in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture decreased in 1999, as
compared to 1998, due to additional fundings by Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P.
and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. to the joint venture in 1999.
One major tenant, the Associates, vacated its leased space in September 1999. A
new lease was executed with Center Partners Inc., a division of WPP Group,
U.S.A. for 23,992 rentable square feet. The initial term of the lease will be
five years commencing January 1, 2000 and will expire on December 31, 2004.
Center Partners Inc. has the option to extend the initial term of the lease for
two consecutive five-year periods. The annual base rent payable during the
initial term is $299,900 for the first year, $307,337.52 for the second year,
$315,014.96 for the third year, $322,932.32 for the fourth year, and $331,089.60
for the fifth year.
-19-
<PAGE>
It is currently anticipated that the total cost to complete the tenant
improvements and pay for a leasing commission is estimated to be
approximately $257,490 and will be contributed by the Wells Real Estate
Fund IX, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P.

ended September 30, 1999 cannot be compared to 1998 since the 1998 figures
reflect only eight months of activities. Other operating expenses were negative
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 due to an offset of tenant
reimbursements in operating costs, as well as management and leasing fee
reimbursements. Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company
increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to

On March 20, 1998, the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture acquired a three-story
multitenant office building containing approximately 51,974 rentable square feet
on a 5.1-acre tract in Broomfield, Boulder County, Colorado, for a purchase
price of $8,275,000, excluding acquisition costs.
The 360 Interlocken Building was completed in December 1996. The first floor has
multiple tenants and contains 15,599 rentable square feet, the second floor is
leased to ODS Technologies, L.P. and contains 17,146 rentable square feet, and
the third floor is leased to Transecon, Inc. and contains 19,229 rentable square
feet.
Rental income remained relatively stable for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period for 1998. The nine-month
period ended September 30, 1999 cannot be compared to 1998 since the 1998
figures reflect only seven months of activities.
Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 increased as compared to the same period in 1998.
Operating expenses increased significantly for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period for 1998, largely attributed
to the increase in property taxes, utilities, and security. Other operating
expenses are negative for prior periods due to an offset of tenant
reimbursements in operating costs, as well as management and leasing fee
reimbursements. The Company's ownership interest in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint
Venture decreased in 1999, as compared to 1998, due to additional funding by

On June 24, 1998, the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture acquired a one-story
office building containing approximately 57,186 rentable square feet on a
5.3-acre tract of land in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for a purchase price of
$5,504,276, excluding acquisition costs.
The Lucent Technologies Building was completed in January 1998 with Lucent
Technologies occupying the entire building. Under the terms of the lease, the
tenant is responsible for all utilities, property taxes, and other operating
expenses.
Since the Lucent Technologies Building was purchased by the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT
Joint Venture in June 1998, comparable income and expense figures for the prior
year's period ended September 30, 1998 covered only four months. Accordingly,
the prior year cannot be compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Rental income increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 1999
as compared to the same period in 1998. Total expenses decreased for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period for 1998,
due largely to the decrease in other operating expenses.
Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company for the three-month
period remained relatively stable for the three-month period ended September 30,
1999 and 1998.
The Company's ownership interest in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture
decreased in 1999, as compared to 1998, due to additional funding by Wells Real
Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. to the joint venture.
