ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.
- ----------------- 

GENERAL

Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., as General
Partners. The Partnership was formed on December 1, 1992, for the purpose of
acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing and
otherwise managing for investment purposes income-producing commercial or
industrial properties.

On April 5, 1993, the Partnership commenced a public offering of its limited
partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under
the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership terminated its offering on April 4,
1994, and received gross proceeds of $25,000,000 representing subscriptions from
2,500,000 Limited Partners units, composed of two classes of limited partnership
interests, Class A and Class B limited partnership units. As of December 31,
1996, the Partnership had incurred $4,619,157 in commissions, acquisition fees,
organization and offering costs, had invested $19,789,055 in properties;
reserved $250,000 as working capital reserves; and approximately $342,000 is
available for investment in additional projects.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties through ownership in joint ventures: (i) a four-story office building
located in metropolitan Hartford, Connecticut; (ii) a three-story office
building located in Appleton, Wisconsin; (iii) four retail buildings located in
Stockbridge, Georgia; (iv) a retail shopping center expansion in Stockbridge,
Georgia; (v) an office/retail center under construction in Roswell, Georgia;
(vi) a four-story office building in Jacksonville, Florida; and (vii) a retail
center under construction Clemmons, Forsyth County, North Carolina and (viii) a
retail center located in Cherokee County, Georgia. 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.,
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
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 compensation and fees paid to the General Partners and their
affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
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 interests in nine properties through its investment in
joint ventures of which three are office buildings and six are retail buildings.
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 93% occupied, down from 94% at December 31, 1995 and 100% at
December 31, 1994 and 1993.

In January 1995, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture contributed to the Fund II-
III-VI-VII Joint Benture approximately 4.3 acres of land at the intersection of
Warsaw Road and Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia (the
"Holcomb Bridge Road Property") including land improvements.  Development is
substanitially complete on two buildings containing a total of approximately
49,500 square feet.  Nine tenants occupied the 880 Holcomb Bridge property as of
December 31, 1996 for an occupancy rate of 63%.  The average effective annual
rental was $9.87 per square foot for 1996.

As of December 31, 1996, Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture contributed $1,729,116
in land and improvements for an equity interest of approximately 25.2%, the
Partnership contributed $1,699,846 for an equity interest of approximately
26.0%, and Wells Fund VII contributed $3,217,154 for an equity interest of
approximately 48.8%.  The total cost to develp the Holcomb Bridge Road Property
is currently estimated to be approximately $5,100,000,excluding land.  It is
anticipated that of the remaining cost of approximately $183,000, $83,000 will
be contributed by Wells Fund VII and $100,000 by the Partnership after which the
equity interests in the Fund II - III - VI - VII Joint Venture will be 26.4% for
the Partnership, 48.3% for Wells Fund VII, and 25.3% for the Fund II-Fund III
Joint Venture.  The Partnership and Wells Fund VII have reserved sufficent funds
for this purpose.

FUND VI-VII-VIII JOINT VENTURE
- ------------------------------

On April 17, 1995, the Partnership, Wells Fund VII and Wells Real Estate Fund
VIII, L.P. ("Wells Fund VIII"), a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated
with the Partnership through common general partners, formed a joint venture
known as the Fund VI, Fund VII, and Fund VIII Associates (the "Fund VI-VII-VIII
Joint Venture").  The investment objectives of Wells Fund VIII are substantially
identical to those of the Partnership.  As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership
contributed approximately $6,067,688 for an approximately 36% equity interest in
the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture, which owns an office building in
Jacksonville, Florida and a multi-tenant retail center under development in
Forsyth County, North Carolina.  As of December 31, 1996, Wells Fund VIII
contributed $4,700,000 for an equity interest in the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint
Venture of approximately 28%, and Wells Fund VII contributed approximately
$5,932,312 for an equity interest in the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture of
approximately 36%.  The total cost to complete both properties is anticipated to
be approximately $17,700,000.  Although the ultimate percentages of equity
interests in the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture have not yet been finally
determined, it is anticipated that Wells Fund VIII will contribute the remaining
cost of approximately $1,000,000 needed to complete construction of both
projects, in which event the ultimate equity interests in the Fund VI-VII-VIII
Joint Venture of the Partnership, Wells Fund VII and Wells Fund VIII would be
approximately 34%, 34%, and 32%, respectively.

FUND I - II - II-OW - VI - VII JOINT VENTURE
- --------------------------------------------

On August 1, 1995, the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund I ("Wells Fund I"), a
Georgia public limited partnership , the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and
Wells Fund VII, entered into a joint venture agreement known as Fund I, II, II-
OW, VI and VII Associates (the "Fund I-II-II-OW-VI-VII Joint Venture"), which
was formed to own and operate the Cherokee Project described below.  Wells Fund
I is a Georgia limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital,
Inc., as general partners.  The investment objectives of Wells Fund I, the Fund
II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Fund VII are substantially identical to
those of the Partnership.

The Cherokee Property
- ---------------------

The Cherokee Property consists of a retail shopping center known as the
"Cherokee Commons Shopping Center" located in metropolitan Atlanta, Cherokee
County, Georgia (the "Cherokee Project").  The Cherokee Project has been
expanded to consist of approximately 103,755 net leasable square feet.  The
Cherokee Project was initially developed through a joint venture between Wells
Fund I and the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture, which contributed the Cherokee
Project to the Fund I-II-II-OW-VI-VII Joint Venture on August 1, 1995 to
complete the required funding for the expansion.

As of December 31, 1996, Wells Fund I contributed property with a book value of
$2,139,900, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture contributed property with a
book value of $4,860,100, the Partnership contributed cash in the amount of
$953,798, and Wells Fund VII contributed cash in the amount of  $953,798 to the
Cherokee Project.  As of December 31, 1996, the equity interest in the Fund I -
II - II-OW - VI - VII Joint Venture were as follows:  Wells Fund I 24%, Fund II-
Fund II-OW Joint Venture 54%, Wells Fund VII 11% and the Partnership 11%.

The Cherokee Project is anchored by a 67,115 square foot lease with Kroger
Food/Drug ("Kroger") which expires in 2011.  Kroger's original lease was for
45,528 square feet.  In 1994, Kroger expanded to the current 67,115 square feet
which is approximately 65% of the total rentable square feet in the property.
As of December 31, 1996, the Cherokee Project was approximately 93% occupied by
19 tenants, including Kroger.  Kroger, a retail grocery chain, is the only
tenant occupying 10% or more of the rentable square footage. The other tenants
in the shopping center provide typical retail shopping services.

The Kroger lease calls for an annual rent of $392,915 which increased to
$589,102 on August 16, 1995 due to the expansion from 45,528 square feet to
67,115 square feet. The lease expires March 31, 2011 with Kroger entitled to
five successive renewals each for a term of five years.

The occupancy rate at the Cherokee Property was 93% in 1996, 94% in 1995, 91% in
1994, 89% in 1993 and 88% in 1992. The average effective annual rental per
square foot at the Cherokee Property was $8.59 for 1996, $7.50 for 1995, $5.33
for 1994, $6.47 for 1993 and $6.46 for 1992.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- ------------------------- 

There were no material pending legal proceedings or proceedings known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities involving the Partnership during 1996.


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 1996.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had 2,113,257 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,587 Limited Partners and  386,742 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 210 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 elect to have their cash distributions
paid monthly.  Under the Partnership Agreement, distributions from net cash from
operations are allocated first to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units
(and limited partners holding Class B units that have elected a conversion right
that allows them to share in the distribution rights of limited partners holding
Class A units) until they have received 10% of their adjusted capital
contributions.  "Net Cash From Operations" means Cash Flow, less adequate cash
reserves for other obligations of the Partnership for which there is no
provision.  Cash available for distribution is then distributed to the General
Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of cash distributions
previously distributed to the limited partners.  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.  No distribution has
been made to the General Partner as of December 31, 1996.

Cash distributions made to Limited Partners holding Class A Units (and limited
partners holding Class B Units that have elected a conversion right) during the
two most recent fiscal years were as follows:

           June 30, 1996             $282,512      $0.14         $0.00      
           Sept. 30, 1996            $262,551      $0.12         $0.00

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 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
- -------------------------------- 

The following sets forth a summary of the selected financial data for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and the nine months ended December
31, 1993.

The Partnership which began on April 5, 1993 did not commence active operations
until it received and accepted subscriptions for a minimum of 125,000 units in
May, 1993, and accordingly, there is no comparative financial data available
prior to 1993.

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 

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
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 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 $675,782 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, as compared to $1,002,567 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, and $819,535 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.  The
decrease for 1996 as compared to 1995 was due primarly to decreased interest
income and decreased income from joint ventures due to the changes in
depreciation discussed below.  The increase for 1995 over 1994 was due primarily
to increased income from joint ventures partially offset by a decrease in
interest income.  This net increase in revenues is attributed to funds invested
in joint ventures, which increased the income generated from the joint ventures
but decreased the funds available to earn interest. Depreciation expense
increased for the joint ventures from 1994 to 1995 and 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 in the fourth quarter of 1995.  For
further discussion of depreciation expense, please refer to the notes to the
accompanying financial statements.

Expenses of the Partnership were $86,729 for 1996, as compared to $100,739 for
1995 and $118,639 for 1994.  The decrease in expenses for 1996 as compared to
1995 and 1994 was primarily due to decreased partnership administration
expenses.

Net income of the Partnership was $589,053 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, as compared to $901,828 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995,
and $700,896 for the nine months ended December 31, 1994.  The decrease in net
income for 1996 over 1995 is due primarily to decreased income from joint
ventures and decreased interest earned offset partially by decreased expenses.

The Partnership made cash distributions to the limited partners holding Class A
Units of $.57 for fiscal year 1996 as compared to $.62 per Class A Unit for
fiscal year 1995 and $.32 for fiscal year 1994. The General Partners anticipate
distributions per Unit will continue to increase for limited partners holding
Class A Units in 1997.  Distributions accrued for the fourth quarter of 1996 to
the limited partners holding Class A Units were paid in February, 1997.  No cash
distributions were made to limited partners holding Class B Units.

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 

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
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 adoping SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements
of the joint ventures.

Net income decreased and expenses increased in 1996 over 1995 due primarily to
increased depreciation expenses.  Net income increased and expenses decreased in
1995 as compared to 1994 due primarily to decreased expenditures for property
insurance and legal fees which was partially offset by an increase in
depreciation expense in the fourth quarter of 1995 resulting from the change in
estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements 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 increased from
48.4% in 1994, to 52.4% in 1995 and to 52.5% in 1996 due to additional fundings
by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's ownership interest in the
Fund V- Fund VI Joint Venture.

Cash distributions remained stable from 1996 as compared to 1995 but cash
distributions increased in 1995 over 1994 due to the decrease in expenses and
the Partnership's increased percentage ownership interest in the Joint Venture.
Net income allcoated to the Partnership varied from 1996 to 1995 to 1994 due to
increased depreciation expenses and increased ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI
Joint Venture as discussed above.

Real estate taxes and all operational expenses for the building are the
responsibility of the tenant.

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 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
opened in June, 1995. Glenn's Open Pit Bar-B-Que leased 4,303 square feet
beginning in July, 1995. 4,969 additional square feet have been leased in the
second building with occupancy in the first quarter of 1997.

Since the first building of the Stockbridge Village II Project opened in
December 1994, comparative income and expense figures for the year ended
December 31, 1994 are not available.  In 1996 and 1995 there were  increases in
depreciation expense due to 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
increased to 52.5% for 1996 from 52.4% for 1995 as compared to 48.4% in 1994 due
to an additional investment by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's
ownership interest and decreased the Wells Fund V's ownership interest in the
Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.

The Stockbridge Village II Project incurred property taxes of $22,835 for 1996,
$19,924 for 1995 and $14,200 for 1994.

Rental income for 1996 and 1995 was the same.  Since the Marathon Building was
purchased in September 1994, comparative income and expense figures for the year
ended December 31, 1994, are not available.  Depreciation expense increased for
1996 compared to 1995 due to the recording of a full year's expense reflecting
the change in estimated useful lives which was made beginning in fourth quarter
of 1995.  In 1995, there was an increase in depreciation expense, as compared to
1994, due to the change in estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements
as previously discussed under "General" section of "Results of Operations and
Changes in Financial Conditions".  Other operating expenses decreased from
$25,557 in 1995 to $14,636 in 1996 due primarily  to payment of legal and
administrative expenses associated with the first year of operating the
property.

On April 25, 1995, the Fund VI - VII - VIII Joint Venture purchased 5.55 acres
of land located in Jacksonville, Florida.  In May 1996, the 92,964 square foot
office building was completed, with 

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
BellSouth Advertising and Publishing Corporation occupying approximately 66,333
square feet and American Express occupying approximately 22,607 square feet. An
additional approximate 2,900 square feet was occupied by BellSouth commencing in
December 1996 bringing occupancy to 100%

The initial term of the BellSouth lease is nine years and eleven months.  The
annual base rent during the initial term is $1,048,061 during the first five
years and $1,150,878 for the balance of the initial lease term.  The American
Express lease is for a term of five years at an annual base rent of $369,851.
BellSouth and American Express are required to pay additional rent equal to
their share of operating expenses during their respective lease terms.

Interest income was generated from construction dollars, not as yet funded on
construction, being invested in interest bearing accounts.

Since the building opened in May, 1996, comparative income and expense figures
for prior years are not available.  The BellSouth Property incurred property
taxes of $23,234 for 1996, the first year of occupancy.

Rental income increased in 1996 over 1995 due to the Kroger expansion which was
completed in November, 1994.  Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased approximately $225,000 from the rental income for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  This increase is due to 

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
excessive rents relating to the Kroger expansion which, although completed in
November of 1994, was billed retroactively and paid in September 1995. The
decrease in occupancy in 1996, was due to the current vacancy of 2,380 square
feet; however, a lease is being negotiated for 1,200 square feet with
anticipated occupancy in February 1997. Operating expenses of the property
increased to $659,142 in 1996 from $429,287 in 1995, and $764,823 in 1994. The
increase is due primarily to increased management and leasing fees as well as
increased depreciation expense. The increase in depreciation expense for 1996 as
compared to 1995 and 1994 is 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 $231,882 in 1996 from $349,097 in 1995 and increased from (211,950)
in 1994, due to the increase in operating expenses as discussed above.

A lease amendment was executed with Kroger expanding its existing store at the
Cherokee Commons Shopping Center from 45,528 square feet to 66,918 square feet.
In November, 1994, construction was completed on the Kroger expansion and
remodeling of the center.  The total cost for both the Kroger expansion and
remodeling of the center was $2,807,367.  The costs of this expansion were
funded in the following amounts:  Wells Fund I $94,679, Fund II-II-OW $805,092,
Wells Fund VII $953,798 and the Partnership $953.798 as of December 31, 1995.
The statements are for a twelve month period; however, the Partnership and Wells
Fund VII did not contribute their portion until August, 1995.

The Cherokee Property incurred property taxes of $63,696 for 1996, $63,694 for
1995 and $56,080 for 1994.

Since the Partnership did not contribute to the Fund I - II - II-OW - VI - VII
Joint Venture until August, 1995, there are no cash distributions or income
allocated to the Partnership for 1994.  Allocation of cash distributions and
income to the Partnership began in August, 1995.

For comments on the general competitive conditions to which the property may be
subject, see Item 1, Business, page 2.  For additional information on tenants,
etc. refer to Item 2, Properties, page 3.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

During its offering, which terminated on April 4, 1994, the Partnership raised a
total of $25,000,000 in capital through the sale of 2,500,000 units.  No
additional units will be sold by the Partnership.  From the original funds
raised, the Partnership incurred $4,619,157 in commissions, acquisition fees,
organization and offering costs; invested $19,789,055 in properties; reserved
$250,000 as working capital reserves; and the remainder of approximately
$342,000 is reserved for investment in joint ventures. It is currently
anticipated that approximately $242,000 will be contributed to the Fund V - Fund
VI Joint Venture to complete the Stockbridge Village II Project and
approximately $100,000 will be contributed to the Fund II, III, VI and VII Joint
Venture.  No additional funding to the joint ventures are anticipated by the
Partnership.

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had working capital cash reserves of
$250,000.  The Partnership is required to maintain working capital reserves in
an amount equal to the 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 decreased from
$234,119 for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $(216,092) for the year ended
December 31, 1995 but increased to $(143,341) for the year ended December 31,
1996 primarily due to increases in distributions from joint ventures partially
offset by decreased interest income in 1996. Net cash used in investing
activities increased from $5,912,454 in 1994 to $10,721,376 in 1995 but
decreased to $234,924 in 1996 due primarily to fluctuation in investments in
joint ventures, a return of capital in 1996 due to a transfer of funds from the
Tanglewood Project to the Holcomb Bridge Road Project and elimination in 1995
and 1996 of deferred project cost paid in 1994.  Cash flow from financing
activities decreased from $10,386,552 in 1994 to $0 in 1995 and 1996.  The
decrease from 1994 is due to the termination of the sale of Partnership units in
1995.  No Partnership unit sales by the Partnership are allowed after the
termination date of April 4, 1994 as stated in the Prospectus.

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.  The Partnership
anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis
from such sources.  No cash distributions were paid to Class B Unit holders for
1996.  The Partnership expects 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 the
properties in which it owns a joint venture interest that will result in the
Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

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 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  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.

     ------------------------------------------------------- 
     Partners will receive a subordinated participation in net cash flow from
     operations equal to 10% of net cash flow after the Limited Partners holding
     Class A Units have received preferential distributions equal to 10% of
     their adjusted capital contribution. The General Partners will also receive
     a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and net financing
     proceeds equal to 20% of residual proceeds available for distribution after
     Limited Partners holding Class A Units have received a return of their
     adjusted capital contributions plus a 10% cumulative return on their
     adjusted capital contributions and Limited Partners holding Class B Units
     have received a return of their adjusted capital contribution plus a 15%

     of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 6% cumulative return on
     their adjusted capital contributions. The General Partners received no
     distribution from cash flow or from net sales proceeds in 1996.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND VI,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for the
years then ended.  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 VI, L.P.
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                     (A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994



1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
     partnership organized on April 5, 1993 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 to be developed, are currently
     under development or construction, are 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) a shopping center located in Cherokee County, Georgia, the
     Cherokee Commons Shopping Center ("Cherokee Commons"), (ii) an
     office/retail center in Roswell, Georgia, (iii) the Hartford Building, a
     four-story office building located in Southington, Connecticut, (iv) the
     Stockbridge Village II property, two retail buildings located in Clayton
     County, Georgia, (v) the Marathon Building, a three-story office building
     located in Appleton, Wisconsin, (vi) the Stockbridge Village III Retail
     Center, two retail buildings located in Stockbridge, Georgia, (vii) a
     retail center expansion in Stockbridge, Georgia, (viii) the BellSouth
     property, a four-story office building in Jacksonville, Florida, and (ix) a
     retail center under construction in Clemmons, Forsyth County, North
     Carolina (Note 4).

     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.

                                      F-8

     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 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 on a quarterly basis.  In accordance
     with the partnership agreement, distributions are paid first 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 its 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
               contributions, as defined

          .    To all limited partners, on a per unit basis, until they receive
               an amount equal to their respective cumulative distributions

          .    To all general partners until they have received 100% of their
               capital contribution

          .    Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the general
               partners

                                      F-9

     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
     holding Class A units 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, (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, and (d)
     allocations to Class A limited partners and general partner 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 through investments in
     affiliated joint ventures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
     Major improvements and betterments are capitalized when they extend the
     useful lives of the related assets. 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 joint ventures.

                                     F-10
<PAGE>
 
     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 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, building improvements, and land improvements
     are calculated using the straight-line method over their useful lives.
     Effective October 1, 1995 the joint ventures revised their estimate of the
     useful lives of those assets from 40 years to 25 years. This change was
     made to better reflect the estimated periods during which such assets will
     remain in service. The change had the effect on the Partnership, through
     its ownership interest in the joint ventures, of increasing depreciation
     expense approximately $39,928 in the fourth quarter of 1995 and $260,958 in
     the year ended December 31, 1996. Tenant improvements are amortized over
     the life of the related lease or the life of the asset, whichever is
     shorter.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION.  All leases on real estate 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 by
     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, 1996, 1995, and 1994, is computed based on the weighted
     average number of units outstanding during the respective period.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain 1995 and 1994 items have between reclassified to conform with the
     1996 financial statement presentation.


2.   DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS

     The Partnership paid a percentage of limited partner contributions to Wells
     Capital, Inc. (the "Company") 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.  Fees paid through December 31,
     1996 were $932,216 and amounted to 3.7% of the limited partner
     contributions received.  These fees are allocated to specific properties as
     they are purchased or developed and are included in real estate assets at
     the joint ventures.  Deferred project costs at December 31, 1996 and 1995
     represent fees not yet applied to properties.

     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 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-12
<PAGE>
 
     The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
     costs, at the joint venture level, of $93,349, $45,301, and $17,984 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.

     FUND I, II, II-OW, VI, AND VII ASSOCIATES--CHEROKEE

     On August 1, 1995, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
     with Wells Real Estate Fund I, Fund II and II-OW (a joint venture between
     Wells Real Estate Fund II and Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW), and Wells Real
     Estate Fund VII, L.P. ("Fund VII").  The joint venture, Fund I, II, II-OW,
     VI, and VII Associates, was formed for the purpose of owning and operating
     Cherokee Commons, a retail shopping center containing approximately 103,755
     square feet, located in Cherokee County, Georgia.  Percentage ownership
     interests in Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII Associates--Cherokee were
     determined at the time of formation based on contributions.  Until the
     formation of this joint venture, Cherokee Commons was part of the Fund I
     and II Tucker--Cherokee joint venture.  Concurrent with the formation of
     the Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII Associates--Cherokee joint venture,
     Cherokee Commons was transferred from the Fund I and II Tucker--Cherokee
     joint venture.

   FUND V AND VI ASSOCIATES


   On December 27, 1993, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
   with Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. ("Fund V").  The joint venture, Fund V
   and VI Associates, was formed for the purpose of investing in commercial real
   properties.  In December 1993, the joint venture purchased a 71,000-square-
   foot, four-story office building known as the Hartford Building in
   Southington, Connecticut.  On June 26, 1994, Fund V contributed its interest
   in a parcel of land, the Stockbridge Village II property, to the joint
   venture.  The Stockbridge Village II property consists of two separate
   restaurants and began operations during 1995.  A portion of this property is
   still under development as of December 31, 1996.

   On April 17, 1995, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with Fund VII
   and Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. ("Fund VIII"). The joint venture, Fund
   VI, VII, and VIII Associates, was formed to acquire, develop, operate, and
   sell real properties. On April 25, 1995, the joint venture purchased a 5.55-
   acre parcel of land in Jacksonville, Florida. A 92,964-square foot office
   building, known as the Bell South property, was completed and commenced
   operations in 1996. On May 31, 1995, the joint venture purchased a

   14.683-acre parcel of land located in Clemmons, Forsyth County, North
   Carolina. The land is currently under development.

   During 1996, the Partnership and Fund VII each withdrew $500,000 from the
   joint venture in order to contribute needed funds to Fund II, III, VI, and
   VII Associates.  In addition, $23,160 and $21,739, respectively, of deferred
   project costs related to these funds were unapplied when the contributions
   were withdrawn.  Ownership percentage interests were recomputed accordingly.

   Following are the financial statements for Fund VI, VII, And VIII Associates:

            outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1995 do not equal the
            totals for the year.  This difference results from the use of a
