WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND I
(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
(a) General
------------
Wells Real Estate Fund I (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc., a Georgia
corporation, as General Partners. The Partnership was formed on April 26,
1984, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, owning,
operating, improving, leasing and otherwise managing for investment
purposes income-producing commercial properties.
On September 6, 1984, the Partnership commenced a public offering of its
limited partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership terminated its
offering on September 5, 1986, and received gross proceeds of $35,321,000
representing subscriptions from 4,895 Limited Partners, composed of two
classes of limited partnership interest, Class A and Class B limited
partnership units.
The Partnership owns an interests in the following joint ventures:
(i) Wells-Baker Associates, a joint venture between Fund I and Wells &
Associates, (ii) Fund I-Fund II Tucker and (iii) Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII
Joint Venture.
As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership owned directly or through its
ownership in joint ventures, interests in the following properties:
(i) Paces Pavilion/The Howell Mill Road Property, a medical office building
located in Atlanta, Georgia, owned directly by the Partnership, (ii) The
Crowe's Crossing Property, a shopping center located in DeKalb County,
Georgia, owned by the Partnership, (iii) The Black Oak Plaza Property, a
shopping center located in Knoxville, Tennessee, owned by the Partnership,
(iv) The Peachtree Place Property, two commercial office buildings located
in Atlanta, Georgia, owned by Wells-Baker Associates, (v) The Tucker
Property, a retail shopping and commercial office complex located in
Tucker, Georgia, owned by Fund I-Fund II Tucker and (vi) The Cherokee
Property, a shopping center located in Cherokee County, Georgia, owned by
Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Joint Venture. All of the foregoing properties
were acquired on an all cash basis.
(b) Basis of Presentation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership 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
7
<PAGE>
have not been examined by independent accountants, but in the opinion of
the General Partners, 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 consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
(2) Investment in Joint Venture
---------------------------
The Partnership owned interests in six properties as of June 30, 1997,
through investment or directly. The Partnership does not have control over
the operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant
influence. Accordingly, investment in the joint venture is recorded on the
equity method.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS.
- --------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements of the Partnership and notes thereto. This
Report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Partnership,
anticipated capital expenditures required to complete certain projects, amounts
of cash distributions anticipated to be distributed to Limited Partners 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 statement made in the Report, which include
construction costs which may exceed estimates, construction delays, 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.
Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions
- ---------------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
Revenues of the Partnership were $370,003 for the period ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to $486,824 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, and $758,965 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $989,730 for the same period
in 1996. The decrease for 1997 over 1996 was due primarily to decreased income
from the joint ventures and decreased rental income. Rental income was
decreased due to lowered occupancy rates at Paces Pavilion after the move-out of
HCA from the premises in December of 1996. Income from the joint ventures was
decreased due to increased and lowered occupancy resulted in decreased rental
income at the Tucker and Cherokee properties.

<PAGE>
Expenses of the Partnership were $293,970 for the period ending June 30, 1997,
as compared to $504,540 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, and $789,980
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $976,892 for June 30,
1996. The decrease in expenses for 1997 as compared to 1996 was due primarily
to decreased repairs and maintenance and timing differences in CAM billings to
tenants; however, approximately $30,000 was written off to bad debt at Crowe's
Crossing further increasing the Partnership's expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $553,449 in 1996 to
$600,560 at June 30, 1997, due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable
and decreased expenses offset partially by decreased rental revenues. Net cash
provided by investing activities decreased from $141,168 in 1996 to $137,163 in
1997 due to a decrease in capital expenditures made in 1997. As a result, cash
and cash equivalents increased from $248,360 in 1996 to $380,683 in 1997.
The Partnership's cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A
Units was $5.96 per Unit for three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to
$6.93 for the same period in 1996. No cash distributions were made to the
Limited Partners holding Class B Units or to the General Partners for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through the second quarter of
1997 have been paid from net cash from operations and from distributions
received from its investments in joint ventures, and the Partnership anticipates
that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis from such
sources. The Partnership expects to meet liquidity requirements and budget
demands through cash flows.
The Partnership is unaware of any known demands, commitments, events or capital
expenditures other than that which is required for the normal operations of its
properties or the properties in which it owns a joint venture interest that will
result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material
way.

Rental income decreased from $272,575 in 1996 to $64,454 in 1997 due to
decreased tenant occupancy after HCA vacated the premises at December 31, 1996.
Management and leasing fees decreased in 1997 to $4,380 from $16,355 in 1996 due
to lowered tenant occupancy. Other operating expenses increased to $50,970 in
1997 over $12,423 in 1996 primarily due to increased repairs and maintenance
costs.
As of June 30, 1997, capital improvements and renovations totaling $51,912 have
been incurred at Paces Pavilion in preparation for re-leasing the formerly HCA
occupied space. Currently, there are five tenants occupying the premises.
Management is actively seeking replacement tenants.

Rental income remained relatively stable for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996. The increase in rental income for the six months ended June 30,
1997, as compared to the same period in 1996, is primarily due to the rental
increases and increased occupancy in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in
other operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
the three months ended June 30, 1997, is due to the billing of reimbursements
for 1995 and 1996 to Kroger, a major tenant at the center. Net income and cash
generated to the Partnership for three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
increased as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, due
primarily to the billing of reimbursements noted above.

</TABLE>
Rental income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, has
increased as compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996,
due to scheduled rental increases at the property. Depreciation decreased for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, due to an overstatement of depreciation expenses in
the second quarter of 1996, which was adjusted in the final quarter of that
year. The increase in management and leasing expenses in the first and second
quarters of 1997, compared to the same quarters of 1996, is due to the payment
of lease acquisition fees for new tenants in February and March of 1997. Other
operating expenses increased in the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared
to the same period in 1996, due to timing differences in billing of CAM
reimbursements. Cash generated to the Partnership increased for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996 due primarily to
decreased capital expenditures of approximately $53,000.

tenant occupancy. Operating expenses increased from $62,658 in 1996 to $73,492
in 1997 due to the write-off of bad debt in the second quarter of 1997.

</TABLE>
Rental income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to
the same period in 1996, due primarily to decreased rental income in the first
quarter 1997 and billing of a lease cancellation charge and late payment charges
in 1996 of approximately $6,200. Operating expenses increased in 1997 over 1996
due to increases in utilities, landscaping, and other repairs and maintenance.
The decrease in depreciation expenses for 1997 as compared to 1996 is due to the
loss of property which resulted from the fire in September 1996. Net income of
the property decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996 for the reasons noted above.

in occupancy. Management and leasing expenses increased in 1997, as compared to
1996, due to one-time payments of lease acquisition fees. Operating expenses
decreased primarily due to a timing difference in billings to tenants for
property taxes.
