PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
- -------------------
General
Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a non-public
limited partnership as General Partners. The Partnership was formed on October
25, 1990, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating,
improving, leasing, and otherwise managing for investment purposes income
producing commercial or industrial properties.
On March 6, 1992, 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 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Partnership did not commence active operations until it received and accepted
subscriptions for a minimum of 125,000 units on April 27, 1992. The offering
was terminated on March 3, 1993, at which time the Partnership had sold
1,520,967 Class A Units and 179,635 Class B Units representing $17,006,020 of
capital contributions by investors who were admitted to the Partnership as
Limited Partners.
The Partnership owns interests in properties through its equity ownership in the
following joint ventures; (i) Fund IV and Fund V Associates, a joint venture
between the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. (the "Fund IV - Fund
V Joint Venture"); (ii) Fund V and Fund VI Associates, a joint venture between
the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture"); and (iii) Fund V, Fund VI, and Fund VII Associates, a joint venture
between the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate
Fund VII, L.P. (the "Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture").
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties through its ownership of the foregoing joint ventures: (i) a four-
story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida ("IBM Jacksonville"),
which is owned by the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture; (ii) two substantially
identical two-story office buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia (the
"Medical Center Project"), which are owned by the Fund IV - Fund V Joint
Venture; (iii) a four-story office building located in metropolitan Hartford,
Connecticut (the "Hartford Building"), which is owned by the Fund V - Fund VI
Joint Venture; (iv) two retail buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia
("Stockbridge Village II"), which are owned by the Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture; and (v) a three-story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin
(the "Marathon Building"), which is owned by the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture.
All of the foregoing properties were acquired on an all cash basis.
Employees
The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
the sole general partner of Wells Partners, L.P., a General Partner of the
Partnership, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and
2
<PAGE>
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, 1997.
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.
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 five properties through its investment in joint
ventures of which four 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, 1997, these
properties were 95.22% occupied, a change from 92.15% at December 31, 1996,
92.32% at December 31, 1995, 92.68% at December 31, 1994 and 96.04% at December
31, 1993.

Fund IV"), 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

approximately $7,873,381, and Wells Fund IV had contributed approximately
$4,736,173 to the Fund IV -Fund V Joint Venture. The Partnership holds an

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:

<PAGE>
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, 1997, 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 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 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.
The term of the CTI lease containing 11,780 square feet is 5 years and commenced
in March, 1994. The annual base rent payable under the CTI lease is $325,965.
The occupancy rates for the Jacksonville Project at year end were 100% in 1997,
1996, 1995 and 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 1997, 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").
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had contributed $2,911,672, and Wells
Fund IV had contributed $1,296,226 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 $126,000 will be required for the
completion of the Medical Center Project. The Partnership has reserved $105,000
for this purpose, with any excess cost required to be funded out operating cash
flow. It is anticipated that, following such additional contribution of funds
by the Partnership, the Partnership will hold approximately 63% equity interest
in the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture and that Wells Fund IV will hold an
approximately 37% equity interest.
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,
5
<PAGE>
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
Baptist has leased approximately 3,376 square feet in the second building for a
term of five years at an annual rental rate of $55,704, increasing to $57,392 in
the fourth year and $59,080 in the fifth year.

was $10.93 for 1997, $11.83 for 1996, $10.43 for 1995, $7.59 for 1994 and $11.25
for 1993.
FUND V - FUND VI JOINT VENTURE
- ------------------------------
On December 27, 1993, The Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P.
("Wells Fund VI"), a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the
Partnership through common general partners, entered into a joint venture
agreement known as Fund V and Fund VI Associates (the "Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture"). The investment objectives of Wells Fund VI are substantially
identical to those of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership
had contributed approximately $4,544,601, and Wells Fund VI had contributed
approximately $5,311,505 to the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture. The Partnership

approximately 53% equity interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture. It is
anticipated that Wells Fund VI will fund an additional $60,000 toward the
completion of the Stockbridge Village II Project, at which time, it is
anticipated that the Partnership will hold an approximate 46% equity interest in
the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture. The Partnership owns interests in the
following two properties through the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture:
The Hartford Building
- ---------------------
On December 29, 1993, the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture purchased the Hartford
Building, a four-story office building containing approximately 71,000 rentable
square feet from Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company for a purchase price
$6,900,000. The Hartford Building is located on 5.56 acres of land in
Southington, Hartford County, Connecticut. The funds used by the Fund V - Fund
VI Joint Venture to acquire the Hartford Building were derived from capital
contributions made by the Partnership and Wells Fund VI totaling $3,508,797 and
$3,432,707, respectively, for total capital contributions to the Fund V - Fund
VI Joint Venture of $6,941,504.
The entire building is leased to Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("Hartford")
for a period of nine years and eleven months commencing December 29, 1993. The
annual base rent during the initial term is $458,400 payable in equal month
installments of $38,200 for the first three months, and $724,200 payable in
equal monthly installments of $60,350 commencing April 1, 1994 and continuing
through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Hartford also has the
option to extend the initial term of the lease for two consecutive five year
periods. Under the terms of its lease, Hartford is responsible for property
6
<PAGE>
taxes, operating expenses, general repair and maintenance work and a pro rata
share of capital expenditures based upon the number of years remaining in the
lease.
The occupancy rate for the Hartford Building at year end was 100% for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The average effective annual
rental per square foot at the Hartford Building was $10.11 for 1997, 1996, 1995
and 1994, the first year of ownership.
Stockbridge Village II - Stockbridge South Project
- --------------------------------------------------
On November 12, 1993, the Partnership purchased 2.46 acres of real property
located in Clayton County, Georgia for $1,022,634. On July 1, 1994, the
Partnership contributed the property as a capital contribution to the Fund V -
Fund VI Joint Venture.
Construction of a 5,400 square foot retail building was completed in November,
1994. Construction of a second retail building containing approximately 10,550
square feet was completed in June, 1995. The entire first building was leased
by Apple Restaurants, Inc. for nine years and eleven months beginning in
December, 1994. The annual base rent under the lease is $125,982 until December
15, 1999, at which time the annual base rent increases to $137,700.
Glenn's Open Pit Bar-B-Que leased 4,303 square feet of the second retail
building for a six year term beginning July 1, 1995 and vacated in April, 1997,
owing substantial rent. The receivable from Glenn's has been collected in
December, 1997.
The total cost to complete Stockbridge Village II is currently anticipated to be
approximately $2,974,000. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership contributed
$1,035,804 and Wells Fund VI had contributed $1,878,798 to the Fund V - Fund VI
Joint Venture for the acquisition and development of Stockbridge Village II.
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership's equity interest in the Fund V -Fund
VI Joint Venture was approximately 47%. Although the ultimate percentage of
ownership has not yet been finalized, as set forth above, it is currently
anticipated that the remaining cost of approximately $60,000 to complete the
project will be contributed by Wells Fund VI, in which event, upon completion of
the building funding, the Partnership will own an approximately 46% equity
interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.
The occupancy rate for the Stockbridge Village II Project at year end was 72%
for 1997 and 61% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The average

FUND V - VI - VII JOINT VENTURE
- -------------------------------
On September 8, 1994, the Partnership, Wells Fund VI and Wells Real Estate Fund
VII, L. P. ("Wells Fund VII"), Georgia public limited partnerships affiliated
with the Partnership through common general partners, entered into a joint
7
<PAGE>
venture agreement known as Fund V, Fund VI, and Fund VII Associates (the "Fund
V-VI-VII Joint Venture"). The Partnership holds an approximate 16% equity
interest in the following property through the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture:
The Marathon Building
- ---------------------
On September 16, 1994, the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture purchased a three-story
office building containing approximately 76,000 square feet, located on
approximately 6.2 acres of land in Appleton, Wisconsin (the "Marathon Building")
for a purchase price of $8,250,000, excluding acquisition costs.
The funds used by the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture to acquire the Marathon
Building were derived from capital contributions made by the Partnership, Wells
Fund VI and Wells Fund VII totaling $1,337,505, $3,470,958, and $3,470,958,
respectively, for total contributions to the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture of
$8,279,421 including acquisition costs. The Partnership owns an approximately
16% equity interest in the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture.
The entire Marathon Building is leased to Jaakko Poyry Fluor Daniel for a period
of approximately twelve years, with options to extend the lease for two
additional five-year periods. The annual base rent under the lease is $910,000.
The current lease expires December 31, 2006. The lease agreement is a net lease
in that the tenant is primarily responsible for the operating expenses,
including real estate taxes.
The occupancy rate for the Marathon Building at year end was 100% for 1997,
1996, 1995, and the last three and a half months of 1994. The average effective
annual rental per square foot in the Marathon Building was $12.74 for 1997,
$12.78 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, the first year of ownership.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- --------------------------
There were no material pending legal proceedings or proceedings known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities involving the Partnership during 1997.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during the fourth
quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of February 28, 1998, the Partnership had 1,551,416 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,598 Limited Partners and 149,186 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 77 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.
The General Partners have estimated the investment value of properties held by
the Partnership, as of December 31, 1997, to be $11.56 per unit based on market
conditions existing in early December, 1997. This value was confirmed as
reasonable by an independent MAI appraiser, David L. Beal Company, although no
actual MAI appraisal was performed due to the inordinate expense involved with
such an undertaking. The valuation does not include any fractional interest
valuation or any distinction between different Classes of Partnership 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. Therefore, 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:

Dec. 31, 1997 $288,503 $0.08 $0.11
</TABLE>

<PAGE>
The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1997, and
was not actually paid to the limited partners holding Class A units until
February 1998. Even though there is no guarantee, the General Partners
anticipate that cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A units
will continue in 1998 at a level at least comparable with 1997 cash
distributions on an annual basis.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

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 Partnership were $633,247 for the year ended December 31,
1997, as compared to $590,839 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $764,624
for the year ended December 31, 1995. Interest income decreased from 1995 to
1996 and from 1996 to 1997 due to a greater amount of investor funds invested in
interest bearing accounts in 1995 than in 1996 and 1997. Gross revenues and net
income decreased for the year 1996 as compared to 1995 due primarily to
increased depreciation expenses which resulted in decreased equity in income of
joint ventures. Depreciation expense of the joint ventures increased from 1995
as compared to 1996 and 1997 due to a change in the estimated useful lives of
buildings and improvements from 40 years to 25 years which became effective in
the fourth quarter of 1995. For further discussion of depreciation expense,
please refer to the notes to the accompanying financial statements. Gross
revenues and net income increased for the year 1997, as compared to 1996, due
primarily to increased equity in income from the joint ventures.
Expenses of the Partnership decreased to $73,446 for the year ended December 31,
1997 from $85,189 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $74,985 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, due primarily to fluctuations in legal and accounting
costs and a decrease in partnership administration expenses.
The Partnership made cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A
Units of $.71 per Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1997, $.65 per
Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $.66 for the year ended
December 31, 1995. No cash distributions of investment income were made to the
Limited Partners holding Class B Units. Distributions accrued for the fourth
quarter of 1997 were paid in February, 1998.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
11
<PAGE>
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 the
adoption of SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements of the
joint ventures.

Rental income remained relatively stable in 1997 as compared to 1996 and 1995.
Expenses decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to savings in
various building operating expenses. Expenses increased due primarily to
depreciation increases in 1997 and 1996 over 1995 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 increased in 1997 as compared to 1996 due primarily to an increase
in the Partnership's ownership interest in the project and savings in building

contributed by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's ownership
interest and decreased Wells Fund IV's ownership interest in the Fund IV-Fund V
Joint Venture accordingly. Net income increased in 1997, as compared to 1996 and
1995 levels, due primarily to savings in operating expenses offset by the change

Net income increased and expenses decreased in 1997, as compared to 1996, due
primarily to an insurance reimbursement from the tenant for prior year's
expenses. Net income decreased and expenses increased in 1996 over 1995 due
primarily to increased depreciation expenses as a result of the change in
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".
The Partnership's ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI Joint Venture decreased from
47.6% in 1995, to 47.5% in 1996 and to 46.5% in 1997 due to additional fundings
by Wells Fund VI, which increased Wells Fund VI's ownership interest and
decreased the Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund V- Fund VI Joint
Venture.
Cash distributions remained stable from 1997 as compared to 1996 and 1995. Net
income allocated to the Partnership decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to
increased depreciation expenses and decreased ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI
Joint Venture as discussed above but increased in 1997 as compared to 1996, due
to the insurance reimbursement discussed above.

The Stockbridge Village II Project, consists of two retail buildings which
contain a total of approximately 15,950 square feet. The first building
containing 5,400 square feet was completed in November, 1994 and occupied by
Apple Restaurants, Inc. in December, 1994, resulting in 100% occupancy as of
December 31, 1994. The second building containing 10,550 square feet opened in
June, 1995. Glenn's Open Pit Bar-B-Que leased 4,303 square feet beginning in
July, 1995. 6,049 additional square feet have been leased in the second
building in 1997. Glenn's has vacated its space in April, 1997 owing
substantial rent. The related receivable was collected in December, 1997.
Rental income and management and leasing expenses are greater in 1997, as
compared to 1996 and 1995, due to the increased lease up of the project.
Operating expenses for 1997, have decreased from 1996 levels due primarily to a
bad debt recovery in 1997, on the Glenn's space. In 1997, 1996 and 1995, there
were increases in depreciation expense due to increased new tenant occupancy and
the change in 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".
The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture
decreased to 46.5% in 1997 from 47.5% for 1996 and 47.6% in 1995 due to
additional investments by Wells Fund VI which increased Wells Fund VI's
ownership interest and decreased the Partnership's ownership interest in the
Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES
- ------------------------------
During its offering, which terminated on March 3, 1993, the Partnership raised a
total $17,006,020 in capital through the sale of 1,700,602 units. No additional
units will be sold by the Partnership. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership
incurred $3,145,281 in commission fees, acquisition fees, organization and
offering costs; invested $13,755,487 in properties; reserved $105,251 as working
capital reserves. No funds have been reserved by the Partnership for investment
in the Fund V - Fund VI Stockbridge Village II Project.
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required
to maintain working capital reserves in an amount equal to the cash operating
expenses required to operate the Partnership for a six-month period not the be
reduced below 1% of Limited Partners' capital contributions. As set forth
above, in order to fund tenant improvements of approximately $65,000, the
General Partners have used a portion of the Partnership's working capital
reserves to reduce the balance below this minimum amount, rather than funding
out of operating cash flow, which would have the effect of reducing cash flow
distributions to Limited Partners. It is anticipated that future rental
revenues associated with the Medical Center Project will be allocated to restore
the Partnership's minimum working capital reserve levels over time in the
future.
The Partnership's net cash used in operating activities decreased from $46,235
for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $65,728 for the year ended December 31,
1996 to $66,556 for the year ended December 31, 1997 primarily due to decreases
in interest income in 1996 and 1997 and decreases in accounts payable. Net cash
provided by investing activities flucuated from $787,404 in 1995 to $1,072,610
in 1996 and $966,869 in 1997, primarily due to changes in investments in joint
ventures and increases in distributions received from joint ventures.
The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through the fourth quarter of
1997 have been paid from net cash from operations and from distributions
received from its equity investment in joint ventures. The Partnership
anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis
from such sources.
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
18
<PAGE>
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 should 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.
The General Partners have verified that all operational computer systems are
year 2000 compliant. This includes systems supporting accounting, property
management and investor services. Also, as part of this review, all building
control systems have been verified as compliant. The current line of business
applications are based on compliant operating systems and database servers. All
of these products are scheduled for additional upgrades before the year 2000.
Therefore, it is not anticipated that the year 2000 will have significant impact
on operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Fund V,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
the related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule 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 and schedule 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 Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule III--Real Estate Investments
and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1997 is presented for purposes
of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part
of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data
required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND V, L.P.
(A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996, AND 1995
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Wells Real Estate Fund V, 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.
("Wells Partners"), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership. The Partnership
has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B units.
Class B limited partners shall have a one-time right to elect to have all of
their units treated as Class A 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 above 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 to be developed, are currently under development
or construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. The
Partnership owns an interest in the following properties through joint ventures
between the Partnership and other Wells Real Estate Funds: (i) the Jacksonville
IBM Building, a four-story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida,
(ii) the Medical Center Project, two substantially identical two-story buildings
located in Clayton County, Georgia, (iii) the Stockbridge Village II property,
two retail buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia, (iv) the Hartford
Building, a four-story office building located in Southington, Connecticut, and
(v) the Marathon Building, a three-story office building located in Appleton,
Wisconsin.
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
F-7
<PAGE>
the Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize the 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 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.
DISTRIBUTION OF NET CASH FROM OPERATIONS
Cash available for distribution, as defined by the partnership agreement, is
distributed to limited partners quarterly. In accordance with the partnership
agreement, distributions are paid first to limited partners holding Class A
units until they have received a 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined. Cash available for distribution is then paid first
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 all limited partners
have received 100% of their adjusted capital contributions, 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
contributions, 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 contributions, as defined
. To all limited partners until they receive an amount equal to their
respective cumulative distributions, as defined
. To all the general partners until they have received 100% of their
capital contribution, as defined
. Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the general
partners
F-8
<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, investments in joint ventures are 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 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 Partnership or
its affiliated 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 amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management
F-9
<PAGE>
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 real estate assets held by the joint
ventures as of December 31, 1997.
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 $48,889 in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and $204,394 and $211,900 in the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1997, respectively.
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 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.
PER UNIT DATA
Net income (loss) per unit with respect to the Partnership for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 is computed based on the weighted average
number of units outstanding during the period.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform with the current year
financial statement presentation.
F-10
<PAGE>
2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS
The Partnership pays a percentage of limited partner contributions to Wells
Capital, Inc. (the "Company"), the general partner of Wells Partners, for
acquisition and advisory services. These payments, as stipulated by the
partnership agreement, can be up to 6% of the limited partner contributions,
subject to certain overall limitations contained in the partnership agreement.
Aggregate fees paid through December 31, 1997 were $935,331 and amounted to 5.5%
of the limited partner contributions received. These fees are allocated to
specific properties as they are purchased or developed and are included in
capitalized assets of the joint ventures. All deferred project costs were
applied to properties at December 31, 1997.
3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Due from affiliates at December 31, 1997 and 1996 represents the Partnership's
share of cash to be distributed for the fourth quarters of 1997 and 1996, as
follows:
1997 1996
-------- --------
Fund IV and V Associates $144,088 $134,054
Fund V and VI Associates 123,561 89,458
Fund V, VI, and VII Associates 38,061 35,248
-------- --------
$305,710 $258,760
======== ========
The Partnership entered into a property management agreement with Wells
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 $111,690, $174,834, and $167,711 for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, 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.
F-11
<PAGE>
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.
4. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

was formed for the purpose of investing in commercial real properties. During
1992, Fund IV and V Associates purchased a parcel of land on which the Medical
Center Project was developed. During 1992, the joint venture also purchased a
second parcel of land in Jacksonville, Florida, on which the Jacksonville IBM
Building was developed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and
Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of THE HARTFORD BUILDING as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of income, partners'
capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the building'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 Hartford Building as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

THE HARTFORD BUILDING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996, AND 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
The Hartford Building ("Hartford") is a four-story office building located in
Southington, Connecticut. The building is owned by Fund V and VI Associates,
a joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. ("Fund V") and Wells
Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Fund VI"). Fund V owns 47%, 47%, and 48% of
Hartford and Fund VI owns 53%, 53%, and 52% of Hartford at December 31,
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Allocation of net income 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
Hartford is not deemed to be a taxable entity for federal income tax
purposes.
REAL ESTATE ASSETS
Real estate assets 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 losses on long-
lived assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be measured.
Hartford adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1995. The impact of
adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements of
Hartford.
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 amounts of real estate assets may not be
recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of real estate assets
F-32
<PAGE>
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 the Hartford real
estate assets as of December 31, 1997.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the real estate assets. Effective October 1, 1995, Hartford
revised its estimate of the useful life of the building 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
of increasing depreciation expense approximately $29,487 in the fourth
quarter of 1995 and $121,970 in the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The lease on the Hartford real estate assets is classified as an operating
lease, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the terms of the lease.
2. RENTAL INCOME
The future minimum rental income due Hartford under noncancelable operating
leases at December 31, 1997 is as follows:
Year ending December 31:
1998 $ 724,200
1999 724,200
2000 724,200
2001 724,200
2002 724,200
Thereafter 663,850
----------
$4,284,850
==========
One tenant contributed 100% of rental income for the year ended December 31,
1997 and represents 100% of the future minimum rental income above.
3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Hartford entered into a property management agreement with Wells Management
Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of Hartford. In
consideration for supervising the management of Hartford, Hartford 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.
F-33
<PAGE>
Hartford incurred management and leasing fees of $30,189, $28,700, and
$28,700 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, 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 Hartford. In the normal course of
business, Hartford may become subject to such litigation or claims.
