                     (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, L.P., 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 interests, Class A and Class B limited
    partnership units.

    The Partnership owns equity interest in the following joint ventures: (i)
    Wells-Baker Associates, a joint venture between Fund I and Wells &
    Associates Joint Venture, (ii) Fund I-Fund II Tucker; and (iii) Fund I, II,
    II-OW, VI, and VII.

    As of June 30, 2000, 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 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 Fund I and Wells & Associates; (v) Heritage Place at Tucker Property, a
    retail shopping and commercial office complex located in Tucker, Georgia,
    owned by Fund I-Fund II Tucker; and (vi) The Cherokee Commons, a shopping
    center located in Cherokee County, Georgia, owned by Fund I, II, II-OW, VI,
    and VII Joint Venture. All of the foregoing properties were acquired on an
    all cash basis.

    (b) Basis of Presentation

    The consolidated financial statements include the financials of the
    Partnership and Wells-Baker. The Partnership's interest in Wells-Baker was
    approximately 90% at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. All significant
    intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority
    interest represents the interest of Wells and Associates, Inc., an affiliate
    of the general partners, in Wells-Baker. At June 30, 2000 and 1999, Wells
    and Associates, Inc.'s interest in Wells-Baker was approximately 10%.

    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
    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

                                      -7-

   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 Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December
   31, 1999.

2. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

   The Partnership owned interests in two properties as of June 30, 2000,
   through its investments in joint ventures. The Partnership does not have
   control over the operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise
   significant influence. Accordingly, investment in the joint ventures is
   recorded using the equity method. Wells-Baker is consolidated with the
   Partnership since the ownership is 89.95%

   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 Section 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 statements made in this
   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.

1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

   General

   Revenues of the Partnership were $961,849 for the six months ended June 30,
   2000 as compared to $887,363 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
   increase for 2000 over 1999 was due primarily to increased rental income from
   all the properties owned by the Partnership and to increased interest income.

   Expenses of the Partnership were $1,009,147 for the period ended June 30,
   2000, as compared to $840,657 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
   increase in expenses for 2000 over 1999 was due primarily to increased
   operating costs of the Partnership's properties, primarily Crowe's Crossing
   and Black Oak Plaza. As a result, there was a net loss of $47,298 for the six
   months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to a net income of $46,706 for the
   same period of 1999.

   The Partnership made cash distributions of $3.52 to the Limited Partners
   holding Class A Units for the three months ended June 30, 2000. There were no
   cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units for the
   three months ended June 30, 1999. 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, 2000 and 1999. The Partnership's distributions
   payable for the second quarter of 2000 are being 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.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

   The Partnership had reserved all operating cash flow generated during the
   first and second quarters of 1999 and all of 1998 which would otherwise be
   available for distribution to Limited Partners to fund the proposed
   reconfiguration of the interior of the Paces Pavilion Building. The lease
   with Hospital Corporation of America ("HCA") expired December 31, 1996 and as
   of June 30, 2000 the building is only 19.6% leased. Management has hired an
   outside firm and hopes to enter into leases in the near future. It is
   anticipated that the cost to refit the interior of the building will be
   approximately $1.2 million. Therefore, to meet these requirements, the
   Partnership reserved all distributions for 1998 and the first and second
   quarters of 1999 and will apply such amounts to fund the reconfiguration of
   the interior of this property.

   At this time, five properties are being marketed for sale. The Partnership
   has one of the two Peachtree Place buildings under contract for sale with
   closing expected in September of this year. CB Richard Ellis is marketing the
   sale of Cherokee Commons and Crowe's Crossing. The marketing piece is being
   broadly distributed to investors throughout the country. The Heritage Place
   at Tucker property is being marketed by The First Fidelity Companies. To
   maximize the disposition value, the retail is being separated and a
   condominium created for the office buildings. The legal and site work should
   be complete so that this property can be marketed to investors in early fall.
   The Partnership's goal is to have all properties sold by the end of 2002. As
   the properties are sold, all proceeds will be returned to the Limited
   Partners in accordance with the Partnership's prospectus. Management
   estimates that the fair market value of each of the properties exceeds the
   carrying value of the corresponding real estate assets; consequently, no
   impairment loss has been recorded. In the event that the net sales proceeds
   are less than the carrying value of the property sold, the Partnership would
   recognize a loss on the sale. Management is not contractually or financially
   obligated to sell any of its properties, and it is management's current
   intent to fully realize the Partnership's investment in real estate. The
   success of the Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize
   investment in its assets will be dependent on the Partnership's ability to
   maintain rental rates, occupancy, and an appropriate level of operating
   expenses in future years. Management believes that the steps that it is
   taking will enable the Partnership to realize its investment in its assets.

Rental revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 1999, due to an increase in existing tenant
renewals at a higher rate.  Operating expenses decreased, for the six months
period ended June 30, 2000, due to a decrease in association dues for the
property.

Currently, there are three tenants occupying the premises.  Management has hired
an outside firm to engage a tenant for the 26,000 square feet of the 32,000
square foot building and hopes to enter into a lease for this space in the near
future.

Rental income and management and leasing fees increased for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, due primarily to
increased occupancy.  Other operating expenses increased due to increased common
area maintenance billings to tenants in 1999.  The common area maintenance
billings were under accrued in 1998.  Tenants are billed an estimated amount for
the current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled in the
following year and the difference billed to the tenant.  Cash generated to the
Partnership remained stable.  Net income decreased due to an increase in
operating expenses and management and leasing expenses.

for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Other operating expenses increased to
$55,993 from $8,216 for the same period in 1999 due primarily to a decrease in
billings of common area maintenance.  Tenants are billed an estimated amount for
the current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled in the

Partnership and net income generated to the Partnership decreased in 2000 as
compared to the 1999, due to an increase in the other operating expenses noted
above.

Rental income increased in 2000, as compared to 1999, even though there was a
decrease in the occupancy level of the property.  This was due to existing
tenant renewals at a higher rate.  Total expenses increased in 2000, as compared
to 1999, due primarily to increased depreciation expense on additional
capitalized tenant improvements, property taxes and repairs to the air condition
system.  Management and leasing expenses decreased in 2000, as compared to 1999,
due to a decrease in leasing commissions and lease acquisition fees.

</TABLE>
Rental income increased in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to increased occupancy
and increased rental renewal rates.  Management and leasing expenses decreased
in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to increased leasing commissions for 1999 and
a catch-up of 1998 management fees in 1999.  Other operating expenses remain
negative for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 due to the
billing of common area maintenance to tenants.  Tenants are billed an estimated
amount for the current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled in
the following year and the difference billed to the tenant.
