REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund II
and Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of THE CHARLOTTE PROPERTY as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of income, partners'
capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the property's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Charlotte Property as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

THE CHARLOTTE PROPERTY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business
The Charlotte Property ("Charlotte") is a two-story office building located
in Charlotte, North Carolina. The property is owned by Fund II and II-OW, a
joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund II ("Fund II") and Wells Real
Estate Fund II-OW ("Fund II-OW"). Fund II owns 95% of Fund II and II-OW and
Fund II-OW owns 5% of Fund II and II-OW at December 31, 1996, 1995, and
1994. Allocation of net income (loss) and distributions are made in
accordance with ownership percentages.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income Taxes
Charlotte is not deemed to be a taxable entity for federal income tax
purposes.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets held by Charlotte are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized when they
extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance
are expensed as incurred.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of," which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. SFAS No. 121 establishes standards for determining when impairment of
long-lived assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be
measured. Charlotte adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1995. The
impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial
statements of Charlotte.
Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances which
could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be
recoverable. When events
F-7
<PAGE>
-2-
or changes in circumstances are present which indicate that the carrying
amount of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses
the recoverability of real estate assets under SFAS No. 121 by determining
whether the carrying value of such real estate assets will be recovered
through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition. Management has determined that there has been no
impairment in the carrying value of Charlotte's real estate assets as of
December 31, 1996.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives of the real estate assets. Effective October 1, 1995,
Charlotte revised its estimate of the useful lives of buildings and
improvements from 40 years to 25 years. This change was made to better
reflect the estimated periods during which such assets will remain in
service. The change had the effect of increasing depreciation expense
approximately $41,516 in the fourth quarter of 1995 and $173,389 in the
year ended December 31, 1996.
Revenue Recognition
The lease on Charlotte's real estate assets is classified as an operating
lease, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs
Costs incurred to procure operating leases are capitalized and amortized on
a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, Charlotte considers all
highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and
short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which
approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market
accounts.
2. RENTAL INCOME
The future minimum rental income due Charlotte under noncancelable
operating leases at December 31, 1996 is as follows:

income above.

3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Charlotte entered into a property management agreement with Wells
Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of Charlotte.
In consideration for supervising the management of Charlotte, Charlotte
will generally pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to
(a) 3% of the gross revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues
for leasing (aggregate maximum of 6%) plus a separate fee for the one-time
initial lease-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed
the fee customarily charged in arm's-length transactions by others
rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar
properties or (b) in the case of commercial properties which are leased on
a long-term net basis (ten or more years), 1% of the gross revenues except
for initial leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues over the first
five years of the lease term.
Charlotte incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs
of $27,532, $27,532, and $18,355 for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995, and 1994, respectively, which were paid to Wells Management.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is not aware of any
significant litigation or claims against Charlotte. In the normal course of
business, Charlotte may become subject to such litigation or claims.
