ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------------------
GENERAL
Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership organized on October 25, 1990, under the laws of the state of
Georgia, having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a non-public limited
partnership, as General Partners. The Partnership was formed on July 31, 1988,
for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating,
improving, leasing and otherwise managing for investment purposes income-
producing commercial or industrial properties.
On March 4, 1991, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $25,000,000 of
Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Partnership did not commence active operations until it received and accepted
subscriptions for 125,000 units which occurred on May 13, 1991. The offering was
terminated on February 29, 1992, at which time the partnership had obtained
total contributions of $13,614,652 representing subscriptions from 1,285 Limited
Partners.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties: (i) the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center, a retail shopping
center located in Stockbridge, Georgia, southeast of Atlanta: (ii) The G.E.
Office Building, a two-story office building located in Richmond, Virginia;
(iii) The Medical Center Project, two substantially identical two-story office
buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia; and (iv) The Jacksonville Project,
a four-story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida. All of the
foregoing properties were acquired on an all cash basis and are described in
more detail in Item 2, below
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc., a
General Partner of the Partnership, perform a full range of real estate services
including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and
investor relations for the Partnership. See Item 11 - "Compensation of General
Partners and Affiliates" for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners
and their affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
INSURANCE
Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, carries
comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the properties
owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership. In the opinion of management of
the registrant, the properties are adequately insured.
2
<PAGE>
COMPETITION
The Partnership will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers
of competing projects which may include the General Partners and their
affiliates. As a result, the Partnership 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 Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will also be in competition
with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its
properties.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- --------------------
The Partnership owns interest in four properties through its investment in joint
ventures of which three are office buildings and one is a retail building. The
Partnership does not have control over the operations of the joint ventures;
however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investment in
joint ventures is recorded on the equity method. As of December 31, 1996, these
properties were 92.89% occupied, down from 93.17% at December 31, 1995, 94.95%
at December 31, 1994, 95.9% at December 31, 1993 and up from 90.39% at December
31, 1992.
The following table shows lease expirations during each of the next ten years
for all leases as of December 31, 1996, assuming no exercise of renewal options
or termination rights:

Fund III"), a Georgia public limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and
Wells Capital, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as General Partners, formed a joint
venture known as Fund III and Fund IV Associates (the "Fund III-Fund IV Joint

identical to those of the Partnership. The Partnership holds an approximate
42.7% of equity interest in the Fund III-Fund IV Joint Venture which includes a
multi-tenant retail center and an office building. As of December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had contributed $6,131,677 and Wells Fund III had contributed

On April 4, 1991, the Fund III-Fund IV Joint Venture purchased 13.62 acres of
real property located in Clayton County, Georgia for the purchase price of
$3,057,729, including acquisition costs, for the purpose of developing,

Shopping Center (the "Stockbridge Property"). The Stockbridge Property consists
of a multi-tenant shopping center containing approximately 112,891 square feet
of which approximately 64,097 square feet is occupied by the Kroger Company, a
retail grocery chain. This is the only tenant which occupies more than ten
percent of the rentable square feet. The lease with Kroger Company is for an
initial term of 20 years commencing November 14, 1991, with an option to extend
for four consecutive five year periods at the same rental rate as the original
lease. The annual base rent payable under the Kroger lease during the initial
term is $492,692. The remaining 48,794 square feet is comprised of 12 separate
retail spaces and 3 free-standing retail buildings. As of December 31, 1996, the

<PAGE>
contributed $1,084,545 and Wells Fund III contributed $3,604,561 to the Fund
III-Fund IV Joint Venture.
The entire G.E. Building is currently under a net lease to General Electric
("G.E."), a corporate office for the lighting division. The annual base rent
payable is currently $530,742 with annual base increases of 2%. The G.E. lease
expires March 31, 2000, with an option to extend the lease for one additional
five-year period at the same rental rate as the original lease.

FUND IV - FUND V JOINT VENTURE
- ------------------------------
On April 14, 1992, the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. ("Wells
Fund V"), a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership
through common general partners, entered into a joint venture agreement known as
Fund IV and Fund V Associates (the "Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture"). The
investment objectives of Wells Fund IV are substantially identical to those of
the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had contributed
approximately $4,736,173 to the Fund IV - V Joint Venture and Fund V had
contributed approximately $7,719,249. It is anticipated that Fund V will fund an
additional $90,000 toward the completion of the Medical Center Project, at which
time, the Fund V Partnership will hold an approximate 62% equity interest in the
Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture. The Partnership owns interests in the following
two properties through the Fund IV -Fund V Joint Venture:
The Jacksonville Project
- ------------------------
On June 8, 1992, the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture acquired 5.676 acres of real
property located in Jacksonville, Florida at a purchase price of $1,360,000 for
the purpose of developing, constructing, and operating a four-story office
building containing approximately 87,600 square feet (the "Jacksonville
Project"). As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership contributed $4,961,709 and
Wells Fund IV contributed $3,439,947 to the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture to fund
the acquisition and development of the Jacksonville Project. The Partnership
holds an approximate 38% equity interest in the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venure,

Venture.
The Jacksonville Project is leased primarily by International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM"), a computer sales and service corporation and Customized
Transportation, Inc. ("CTI"), a division of CSX Railroad, a transportation
corporation.
The initial term of the IBM lease containing 68,100 square feet is 9 years and
11 months and commenced upon completion of the building in June 1993, with an
option to extend the initial lease for two consecutive five-year periods. The
annual base rent payable under the IBM lease
5
<PAGE>
during the initial term is $1,122,478 payable in equal monthly installments of
$93,540. IBM is also required to pay additional rent equal to its share of
operating expenses during the lease term.

1994, and 85% in 1993, the first year of occupancy. The average effective annual
rental per square foot at the Jacksonville Project was $16.71 for 1996 and 1995,
$16.39 for 1994 and $14.19 for 1993.
The Medical Center Project
- --------------------------
On September 14, 1992, the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture acquired 2.655 acres of
real property in Stockbridge, Georgia for $440,000 for the purpose of
constructing two substantially identical two-story office buildings containing
approximately 17,847 rentable square feet each (the "Medical Center Project").
It is anticipated that a total of approximately $4,200,000 will be required to
be contributed to the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture for the acquisition and
development of the Medical Center Project. As of December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had contributed $1,296,266 and Wells Fund V had contributed
$2,757,540 to the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture for the acquisition and
development of the Medical Center Project. It is currently anticipated that an
additional approximately $146,000 will be required for the completion of the
Medical Center Project. The Partnership has $90,000 for this purpose, with any
excess costs required to be funded out of operating cash flow. The Partnership
holds an approximately 38% equity interest, and Wells Fund IV holds an
approximately 62% equity interest in the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture.
Construction on the first building at the Medical Center Project was completed
in March, 1993 and the building shell of the second building was completed in
April, 1994. Georgia Baptist, a medical health care and urgent care facility,
leased approximately 14,669 square feet in the first building for a term of six
years and has the option to extend the initial term of the lease for one five-
year period. The base rent payable per square foot ranges from $16.00 per month
during the first year to $18.50 during the sixth year. In addition, Georgia

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had 1,322,909 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,272 Limited Partners and 38,551 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 21 Limited Partners. The capital contribution per unit is
$10.00. There is no established public trading market for the Partnership's
limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading
market for the units will develop. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of units.
Cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners is distributed on a
quarterly basis unless Limited Partners select to have their cash distributions
paid monthly. Under the Partnership Agreement, distributions are allocated first
to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units until they have received cash
distributions in each fiscal year of the Partnership equal to 10% of their
adjusted capital contribution. After this preference is satisfied, the General
Partners will receive an amount of Net Cash from Operations equal to one-tenth
of the total amount of Net Cash from Operations distributed. After, the Limited
Partners holding Class A Units will receive 90% of Net Cash from Operations, and
the General Partners will receive 10%. No Net Cash from Operations will be
distributed to Limited Partners holding Class B Units. Cash distributions made
to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units for the two most recent fiscal
years were as follows:

</TABLE>
The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1996, and
was not actually paid to the limited partners holding Class A units until
February 1997. Even though there is no guarantee, the General Partners
anticipate that cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A units
will continue in 1997 at a level at least comparable with 1996 cash
distributions on an annual basis.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATION.
- ---------------------
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
selected financial data and 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 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
- -------
Gross revenues of the Partnerships were $555,955 for the year ended December 31,
1996, as compared to $694,521 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $678,591
for the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease in 1996 as compared to 1995
was due primarily to decreased equity in income of the joint ventures. Such
decreased equity in income of the joint ventures was primarily the result of
increased depreciation expenses.
Expenses of the Partnership have remained relatively stable for the fiscal years
ending December 31, 1995 and 1994, while increasing for the fiscal year ended
1996. This increase was due to elevated accounting and legal fees offset by
lower administration and computer costs.
Depreciation expense increased for the joint ventures from 1995 to 1996 due to a
change in the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements from 40 years
to 25 years which became effective October 1, 1995. For further discussion of
depreciation expense, please refer to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements.
Net income of the Partnership was $482,495 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, as compared to $623,867 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
and $605,011 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Net income was
relatively stable for 1995 and 1994. Net income for 1996 reflects a decrease
over 1995 due to decreased equity in income in joint ventures as discussed
above.
The Partnership made cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A
Units of $.68 per Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1996, $.71 per
Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $.63 for the year ended
December 31, 1994. No cash distributions were made to the Limited Partners
holding Class B Units or to the General Partners for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994. Distributions accrued for the fourth quarter
of 1996 were paid in February, 1997.
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 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 1121
establishes standards for determining when impairment losses on long-lived
assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be measured. The joint
ventures adopted SFAS No. 121, effective January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting
SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements of the joint ventures.

1995 and $1,158,963 in 1994 due to decreased occupancy resulting from the early
termination of a lease for 8,025 square feet in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Expenses of the property increased from $427,846 in 1994 to $455,987 in 1995 and
$527,618 in 1996 due primarily to the increase in depreciation expense during
the fourth quarter of 1995 as a result of the change in the estimated useful
lives of buildings and improvements, which became effective in the fourth
quarter of 1995, as previously discussed under the "General" section of "Results
of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions". Net income of the property
decreased to $567,834 for 1996 as
11
<PAGE>
compared to $708,095 for 1995 and $740,795 for 1994 due primarily to increased
depreciation expense amd decreased rental income as discussed above.
Real estate taxes were $104,795 for 1996, $120,899 for 1995 and $130,364 for
1994.

Rental income remained constant for 1996, 1995 and 1994. Total expenses
decreased to $181,861 in 1995 from $202,355 in 1994 but increased to $244,811 in
1996. During 1995, the increase in depreciation expense due to the change in
the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements, which became effective
in the fourth quarter of 1995, as previously discussed under the "General"
section of "Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions," was
offset by a decrease in other operating expenses as compared to 1994, which was
primarily the result of decreased legal fees following the settlement of the
Thalhimer suit described below.
12
<PAGE>
On May 10, 1993, the leasing agent, Morton G. Thalhimer, Inc. filed suit in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia,
against the Partnership, Wells Fund III and the General Partners for leasing
commissions due over the original term of the lease (excluding renewals)
estimated to be approximately $163,500. G.E. and the seller of the property
were names as third party defendants in the suit alleging that they were the
parties which should be financially responsible for these leasing commissions.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement entered into with Thalhimer, commencing in
January, 1994, and during each month thereafter, Thalhimer is only entitled to
three percent (3%) of the monthly rent (exclusive of operating costs
reimbursements, real estate tax and insurance pass-throughs and similar items)
received by the landlord under the G.E. Lease (including any renewals or
extensions of the lease or taking of additional space), and except as set forth
in the Settlement Agreement, the landlord (the Fund III-Fund IV Joint Venture)
has no further obligation to Thalhimer or its successors or assigns under the
lease. G.E. has assumed 1 1/2% of the 3% and the Fund III-Fund IV Joint Venture
has assumed the remaining 1 1/2% of the total 3%.
Due to increased expenses in 1996 as compared to 1995 and decreased expenses in
1995 as compared to 1994, net income decreased to $282,614 in 1996, increased to
$345,564 for 1995, as compared to $325,070 in 1994.
The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund III - Fund IV Joint Venture
remained constant at 42.7% for 1996, 1995 and 1994.
Under the terms of the lease, G.E. pays the real estate taxes directly.

Net Income Allocated to the Partnership $ 184,076 $ 210,272 $ 227,410
</TABLE>
Rental income has stabilized for 1996 as compared to 1995 but was lower in 1994
due primarily to full occupancy for the entire years in 1996 and 1995, while
full occupancy for 1994 was achieved in August, 1994. Expenses increased due
primarily to depreciation increases in 1996 over 1995 and 1994 due to the change
in the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements, which became
effective in the fourth quarter of 1995, as previously discussed under the
"General" section of "Results of Operations and Changes in Financial
Conditions". Cash distributions decreased slightly in 1996 compared to 1995 and
1994 due primarily to a decrease in the Partnership's ownership interest in the
project. Cash fundings to the Joint Venture for construction were contributed
by Wells Fund V which increased Wells Fund V's ownership interest and decreased
the Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture
accordingly. Net income decreased in 1996 and 1995 from 1994 levels due
primarily to the change in depreciation method as discussed above.
The Jacksonville Project incurred property taxes of $172,732 for 1996, $149,856
for 1995, and $128,090 for 1994.
Management and leasing fees were increased in 1996 as compared to 1995 and 1994
due to the dramatic increase of CAM billings received.

Net Income (loss) Allocated to the Partnership $ (235) $ 23,925 $(12,655)
</TABLE>
The 1994 net loss generated by the Medical Center Project related to the fact
that the second building, which opened in April, 1994, did not begin generating
rental revenues until November, 1994, while expenses of Building II such as
property taxes, building operating expenses, administrative costs and
depreciation commenced in April 1994. The net income of Building I was not
enough to offset the net loss of Building II in 1994.
Rental income increased in 1996 and 1995 over 1994 levels due to increased lease
up at the Medical Center Project. Occupancy increased to 68% (on both
buildings) in 1995 and remained the same in 1996 as compared to 58% in 1994.
Expenses have increased in 1996 and 1995 over 1994 levels due primarily to the
lease up of the buildings and a bad debt write off in 1996. Depreciation
increased in 1996 due to the change in the estimated useful lives of building
and improvements, which became effective in the fourth wuarter of 1995, as
previously discussed under the "General" section of "Results of Operations and
Changes in Financial Conditions."
15
<PAGE>
Cash distributions allocated to the Partnership have increased over prior year
levels due primarily to the lease up of the project. Cash fundings to the Joint
Venture for construction were contributed by Wells Fund V which increased its
ownership interest resulting in a reduction in the Partnership's ownership
interest in the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture.
The Medical Center Project incurred property taxes of $37,898 for 1996 and
$43,303 for 1995.
For comments on the general competitive conditions to which the property may be
subject, See Item 1, Business, Page 2. For additions information on tenants,
etc. refer to Item 2, Properties, Page 3.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES
- ------------------------------
During its offering, which terminated on February 29, 1992, the Partnership
raised a total $13,614,652 in capital through the sale of 1,361,465 units. No
additional units will be sold by the Partnership. From the original funds
raised, the Partnership had invested a total of $10,962,464 in properties, paid
$748,805 in acquisition and advisory fees, $1,767,236 in selling commission and
organization and offering expenses, and is maintaining a working capital reserve
of $136,147.
Since the Partnership is an investment partnership formed for the purpose of
acquiring, owning and operating income-producing real property and has invested
all of its funds available for investment, it is highly unlikely that the
Partnership will acquire interests in any additional properties, and the
Partnership's capital resources are anticipated to remain relatively stable over
the holding period of its investments.
The Partnership is required to maintain working capital reserves in an amount
equal to the cash operating expenses estimated to be required to operate the
Partnership for a six month period, not to exceed 3% or be reduced below 1% of
offering proceeds available for investment in properties. The General Partners
believe such working capital reserves will be adequate.
The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased in 1996 to
$424,607 from $309,172 in 1995 and $62,065 in 1994. This increase was due
primarily to the fact that fewer partnership distribution dollars are being
allocated to operating activities while a greater amount of partnership
distribution dollars is being allocated to financing activities.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased in to $0.00 in 1996, from
$13,541 in 1995 and $289,608 in 1994. These decreases were due to a decrease in
investment in joint ventures each year.
Cash and cash equivalents remained stable for years ending 1996, 1995, and 1994.
The Partnership distributes cash available less reserves, and as a result, the
level of cash remains stable.
16
<PAGE>
The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through the fourth quarter of
1996 have been paid from net cash from operations and from distributions
received from its equity investment in joint ventures, and the Partnership
anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis
from such sources. The Partnership excepts to meet liquidity requirements and
budget demands through cash flow from operations.
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 that will result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way. The Partnership expects to meet liquidity
requirements and budget demands through cash flow from operations.
INFLATION
- ---------
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the
past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. There are provisions
in the majority of tenant leases executed by the Partnership to protect the
Partnership from the impact of inflation, most leases contain common area
maintenance charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per
square foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses
above a certain per square foot allowance. These provisions reduce the
Partnership's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting
from inflation. In addition, a number of the Partnership's leases are for terms
of less than five years which may permit the Partnership to replace existing
leases with new leases at higher base rental rates if the existing leases are
below market rate. There is no assurance, however, that the Partnership would
be able to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND IV, L.P.
(A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Wells Real Estate Fund IV , L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
partnership organized on October 25, 1990 under the laws of the state of
Georgia. The general partners are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners,
L.P., a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership. The Partnership has two
classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B units.
Limited partners may vote to, among other things, (a) amend the partnership
agreement, subject to certain limitations, (b) change the business purpose
or investment objectives of the Partnership, and (c) remove a general
partner. A majority vote on any of the described matters will bind the
Partnership without the concurrence of the general partners. Each limited
partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.
The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate commercial real
properties, including properties which are either to be developed,
currently under development or construction, newly constructed or have
operating histories. The Partnership owns an interest in several properties
through joint ventures between the Partnership and other Wells Real Estate
funds, as follows: (i) the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center, a retail
shopping center located in Stockbridge, Georgia, southeast of Atlanta,
Georgia, (ii) the G.E. Lighting National Customer Center, a two-story
office building located in Richmond, Virginia, (iii) the Medical Center
Project, two substantially identical two-story office buildings located in
Clayton County, Georgia, and (iv) the Jacksonville IBM Building, a four-
story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida (Note 3).
USE OF ESTIMATES AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE PARTNERSHIP
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.
The carrying values of the real estate assets are based on management's
current intent to hold the real estate assets as long-term investments. The
success of the Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize
the investment in its assets will be dependent upon the Partnership's
ability to maintain rental rates, occupancy and an appropriate level
F-8
<PAGE>
of operating expenses in future years. Management believes that the steps
it is taking will enable the Partnership to realize its investment in its
assets.
INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, and
therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial
statements. The partners are required to include their respective shares of
profits and losses in their individual income tax returns.
DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Cash available for distribution, as defined by the partnership agreement,
is distributed on a cumulative noncompounded basis to the limited partners
on a quarterly basis. In accordance with the partnership agreement,
distributions first are paid to limited partners holding Class A units
until they have received a 10% return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined. Cash available for distribution is then paid to
the general partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of
distributions. Any remaining cash available for distribution is split
between the limited partners holding Class A units and the general partners
on a basis of 90% and 10%, respectively. No distributions will be made to
the limited partners holding Class B units.
DISTRIBUTION OF SALES PROCEEDS
Upon sales of properties, the net sales proceeds are distributed in the
following order:
. To limited partners on a per unit basis until each limited
partner has received 100% of their adjusted capital contribution,
as defined
. To limited partners holding Class B units on a per unit basis
until they receive an amount equal to the net cash available for
distribution received by the limited partners holding Class A
units
. To all limited partners on a per unit basis until they receive a
cumulative 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital
contribution, as defined
. To limited partners holding Class B units on a per unit basis
until they receive a cumulative 15% per annum return on their
adjusted capital contribution, as defined
. To all limited partners until they receive an amount equal to
their respective cumulative distributions
. To the general partners until they have received 100% of their
capital contributions
. Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the general
partners
F-9
<PAGE>
ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME, NET LOSS, AND GAIN ON SALE
Net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership,
excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery. Net
income, as defined, of the Partnership will be allocated each year in the
same proportions that net cash from operations is distributed to the
partners. To the extent the Partnership's net income in any year exceeds
net cash from operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners
and 1% to the general partners.
Net loss, depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions for each
fiscal year will be allocated as follows: (a) 99% to the limited partners
holding Class B units and 1% to the general partners until their capital
accounts are reduced to zero, (b) then to any partner having a positive
balance in his capital account in an amount not to exceed such positive
balance, and (c) thereafter to the general partners.
Gain on the sale or exchange of the Partnership's properties will be
allocated generally in the same manner that the net proceeds from such sale
are distributed to partners after the following allocations are made, if
applicable: (a) allocations made pursuant to a qualified income offset
provision in the Partnership agreement, (b) allocations to partners having
negative capital accounts until all negative capital accounts have been
restored to zero, and (c) allocations to Class B limited partners in
amounts equal to deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost
recovery previously allocated to them with respect to the specific
Partnership property sold, but not in excess of the amount of gain on sale
recognized by the Partnership with respect to the sale of such property.
INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The Partnership does not have control over the
operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant
influence. Accordingly, investment in joint ventures is recorded using the
equity method of accounting.
REAL ESTATE ASSETS. Real estate assets held by the joint ventures are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and
betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related
asset. All ordinary 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 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 121 establishes standards for determining when impairment losses
on long-lived assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be
measured. The joint ventures adopted SFAS No. 121, effective January 1,
1995. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial
statements of the joint ventures.
Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances which
could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be
recoverable. When events 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
F-10
<PAGE>
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 real
estate assets held by the joint ventures as of December 31, 1996.
Depreciation for buildings and improvements is calculated using the
straight-line method over the useful lives of the real estate assets.
Effective October 1, 1995, the joint ventures revised their estimate of the
useful lives of buildings and improvements from 40 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 on the Partnership,
through its ownership interest in joint ventures, of increasing
depreciation expense approximately $37,688 in the fourth quarter of 1995
and $155,723 in the year ended December 31, 1996.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. All leases on real estate assets held by the joint
ventures are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective
leases.
PARTNERS' DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS. Cash available
for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the Partnership by
the joint ventures are made in accordance with the terms of the individual
joint venture agreements. Generally, these items are allocated in
proportion to the partners' respective ownership interests. Cash is paid
from the joint ventures to the Partnership quarterly.
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, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid instruments 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.
PER UNIT DATA
Net income (loss) per unit with respect to the Partnership for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 is computed based on the weighted
average number of units outstanding during the period.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 1995 and 1994 items have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
financial statement presentation.

Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the general
partners. In consideration for supervising the management of the
Partnership's properties, the Partnership 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.
The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
costs at the joint venture level of $137,811, $141,017, and $132,200 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively, which were
paid to Wells Management.
The Company performs certain administrative services for the Partnership,
such as accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs the
related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among the various Wells Real
Estate funds based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative
personnel. In the opinion of management, such allocation is a reasonable
estimation of such expenses.
The general partners are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate
funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the general
partners, while serving in the capacity as general partners of other Wells
Real Estate funds, may be in competition with the Partnership for tenants
in similar geographic markets.
