have been   prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These quarterly

necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods.  For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in

     ----------------------------

The Partnership owns interests in nine properties through its investment in
joint ventures of which three are office buildings and six are retail buildings.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS.
- --------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------

(a) General
- -----------

Gross revenues of the Partnership were $234,159 for the quarter ended  March 31,
1998, as compared to $209,023 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The
increase in revenues is attributed primarily to funds invested in joint
ventures, which increased the income generated from the joint ventures which
offset the reduction in interest income due to decreased funds available to earn
interest.

Expenses of the Partnership were $18,569 for 1998, as compared to $29,382 for
1997.  The decrease in expenses for  1998, as compared to 1997, was primarily
due to decreased accounting fees and partnership administration expenses.

Net income of the Partnership was $215,590 for the three months ended March 31,
1998, as compared to $179,641 for the same period in 1997.  The increase in net
income for 1998 from 1997 is due primarily to increased revenues and decreased
expenses as noted above.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased from $22,674 in 1997 to $13,411
in 1998.  This decrease was due primarily to decreased expenses.  Net cash
provided by investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31,
1998, as compared to the same period in 1997, due to a decreased in investments
in joint ventures and an increase in joint venture distributions.  Partnership
distributions also increased in 1998, as compared to 1997.  These changes
produced cash and cash equivalents of $473,387 and $224,353 at March 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively.

The Partnership made cash distributions of investment income to Limited Partners
holding Class A Units of $.20 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as
compared to distributions of $.17 per Class A Unit for the same period in 1997.
No cash distributions of investment income were made to Limited Partners holding
Class B Units or to the General Partners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAF) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", requires certain transactions (e.g., unrealized
gains/losses on available for sale securities) that are not reflected in net
income to be displayed as other comprehensive income.  The Statement also
requires an entity to report total comprehensive income (i.e., net income plus
other comprehensive income) for every period in which an income statement is
presented.  SFAS No. 130 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning
after December 13, 1997.  None of the transactions required to be reported in
other comprehensive income pertain to the Partnership; consequently, adoption of
this statement had no impact on the partnership's disclosures.

Effective April 3, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities".  SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998, and initial application is required to be reported as a cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle.  This SOP provides guidance on the
financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs.  It requires costs
of start-up 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
activities and organization costs to be expenses as incurred. Adoption of this
Statement by the Partnership in the first quarter of 1999 may result in the
write-off of certain capitalized organization costs. Adoption of this Statement
is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's results of
operations and financial condition.

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.

</TABLE>

    Other operating expenses decreased and net income increased in 1998, as
    compared to 1997, due primarily to a bad debt reserve recorded in the first
    quarter of 1997 for Glenn's Open Pit Bar-B-Que which had vacated 4,303
    square feet of space as of April 1, 1997. Efforts are being made to re-lease
    the space.

    The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture
    increased to 53.5% for 1998, as compared to 53.0% in 1997, due to additional
    fundings by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's ownership
    interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.

</TABLE>

     Rental income increase for the three months ended March 31, 1998, compared
     to the same period of 1997, due to a correction of straight-line rent in
     the first quarter of 1997.  A small decrease in management and leasing fees
     in first quarter 1998, over first quarter 1997 was offset by an increase in
     operating expenses, primarily accounting and administrative fees.  Cash
     distributions to the Partnership and net income allocated to the
     Partnership remained relatively stable for the three months ended March 31,
     1998 and 1997.

</TABLE>

     A net loss is reflected for first quarter of 1998, as compared to net
     income of $26,165 for the same period in 1997.  The loss was due to a
     decrease in rental income and an increase in expenses which were the result
     of Kenny Rogers Roasters, a restaurant, which vacated its leased space in
     the first quarter of 1998.  A bad debt reserve is being recorded, and the
     receivable due from this tenant has been turned over to lawyers for
     collection.  Efforts are being made to re-lease this space.

     The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint
     Venture increased to 43.0% for 1998, as compared to 42.8% in 1997, due to
     additional fundings by the Partnership, which increased the Partnership's
     ownership in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint Venture.

</TABLE>


     In January 1995, the Fund II - Fund III Joint Venture contributed 4.3 acres
     of land and land improvements at 880 Holcomb Bridge Road to the Fund II,
     III, VI, VII Joint Venture.  Development is being completed on two
     buildings containing a total of approximately 49,500 square feet of space.

     As of March 31, 1998, fourteen tenants are occupying approximately 46,600
     square feet of space in the retail and office building under leases of
     varying lengths. Increases in revenues, expenses and net income for the
     quarter ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same quarter of 1997, are due
     to the five additional tenants occupying the property in 1998, as compared
     to the first quarter of 1997.

     The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund II-III-VI-VII Joint
     Venture increased to 26.9% in 1998, as compared to 26.0% in 1997, due to
     additional funding by the Partnership.

</TABLE>


     Rental income, expenses and net income increased for the first quarter of
     1998, as compared to the same period in 1997, due primarily to lease up
     efforts and increased occupancy at this property.  Negotiations are being
     conducted to lease the remaining space.

     The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint
     Venture increased to 43.0% for 1998,  as compared to 42.8% in 1997, due to
     additional funding by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's
     ownership interest in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint Venture.

     Net income has decreased slightly due primarily to differences in the
     annual adjustment for prior year common area maintenance billings to
     tenants.  Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Partnership
     decreased in 1998, as compared to 1997, due primarily to additional funding
     by Wells Fund VIII, which decreased the Partnership's ownership interest in
     the Fund VI - VII - VIII Joint Venture.

On May 31, 1995, the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture purchased a 14.683 acre
tract of real property located in Clemmons, Forsyth County, North Carolina.
Total costs and expenses to be incurred by the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture
for the acquisition, development, construction and completion of the shopping
center are anticipated to be approximately $8,700,000 when all tenant
improvements are completed.

The Fund VI - VII - VIII Joint Venture developed a large strip shopping center
building containing approximately 67,320 gross square feet which opened on
February 26, 1997, on a 12.48 acre tract.  The remaining 2.2 acre portion of the
property will remain in a vegetative or natural state.

In February 1997, Harris Teeter, Inc., a regional supermarket chain, occupied
its leased space of 46,120 square feet with an initial term of 20 years.  The
annual base rent during the initial term is $488,250.  In addition, Harris
Teeter has agreed to pay percentage rent equal to one percent of the amount by
which Harris Teeter gross sales exceed $35,000,000 for any lease year.  Since
this property commenced operations in February, 1997, comparable income and
expense figures for the complete prior year's period are not available.

</TABLE>


Rental income increased in 1998 over 1997 due primarily to a one time adjustment
made to the straight line rent schedule.  Management and leasing expenses
decreased in 1998, as compared to 1997, due to decreased leasing commissions.
The decrease in operating expenses in 1998, as compared to 1997, are due to
decreased expenditures for tenant improvements, common area expenses, and legal
fees.
