Partnership, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and
property management, accounting, asset management and investor relations for the

owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership. In the opinion of management
of the registrant, the properties are adequately insured.

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

with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its
properties.

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
10
<PAGE>
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, 1997, 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
Fund I-II-l-VI-VII Joint Venture. As of December 31, 1997, 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, 1997, the Cherokee Project was approximately 94% occupied by
20 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 year end for the Cherokee Property was 94% in 1997, 93% in
1996, 94% in 1995, 91% in 1994, and 89% in 1993. The average effective annual
rental per square foot at the Cherokee Property was $8.49 for 1997, $8.59 for
1996, $7.50 for 1995, $5.33 for 1994 and $6.47 for 1993.
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.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of February 28, 1998, the Partnership had 2,158,895 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,609 Limited Partners and 341,105 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 198 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 $10.91 per unit based on market
conditions existing in early December 1997. The 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 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, 1997.
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:

</TABLE>
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 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 statements
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 $884,802 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997, as compared to $675,782 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, and $1,002,567 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995. The
decrease for 1996 as compared to 1995 was due primarily to decreased interest
income and decreased income from joint ventures due to the changes in
depreciation discussed below. The increase for 1997 over 1996 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 1995 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.
Expenses of the Partnership were $89,148 for 1997, as compared to $86,729 for
1996 and $100,739 for 1995. The decrease in expenses for 1997 and 1996 as
compared to 1995 was primarily due to decreased partnership administration
expenses.
Net income of the Partnership was $795,654 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997, as compared to $589,053 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
and $901,828 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase in net income
for 1997 over 1996 is due primarily to
14
<PAGE>
increased earning from joint ventures. 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 $.73 for fiscal year 1997 as compared to $.57 per Class A Unit for
fiscal year 1996 and $.62 for fiscal year 1995. The General Partners anticipate
distributions per Unit will continue to increase for limited partners holding
Class A Units in 1998. Distributions accrued for the fourth quarter of 1997 to
the limited partners holding Class A Units were paid in February, 1998. 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 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.

</TABLE>
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 increased from
52.4% in 1995, to 52.5% in 1996 and to 53.5% in 1997 due to additional fundings
by the Partnership, which increased its ownership interest and decreased the
Wells Fund V's ownership interest in the Fund V- Fund VI Joint Venture.
Cash distributions increased 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 but increased in 1997, as compared to 1996, due
to decreased 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 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.
17
<PAGE>
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
increased to 53.5% in 1997 from 52.5% for 1996 and 52.4% in 1995 due to
additional investments by the Partnership which increased its ownership interest
and decreased Wells Fund V's ownership interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture.
The Stockbridge Village II Project incurred property taxes of $25,491 for 1997,
$22,835 for 1996 and $19,924 for 1995.

</TABLE>
Rental income remained relatively stable in 1997, 1996 and 1995. Net income was
lower 1997 and 1996 than in 1995, due primarily to increases in depreciation
expenses as a result of the change in estimated useful lives of buildings and
improvements which became effective in the
18

fourth quarter of 1995, as previously discussed under the "General" section of
"Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions".
Real estate taxes and all operational expenses for the building are the

real property located in Clayton County, Georgia. The Stockbridge Village I
Expansion consists of a multi-
20
<PAGE>
tenant shopping center containing approximately 29,000 square feet. The majority
of construction was completed in April, 1996 with Cici's Pizza leasing a 4,000
square foot restaurant. The term of the lease is for nine years and eleven
months commencing April, 1997. The initial base rent is $48,000. In the third
year, annual base rent will increase to $50,000, in the sixth year to $52,000,
and in the ninth year to $56,000. Ten additional tenants have occupied 17,600
square feet at the property as of December 31, 1997. Negotiations are being
conducted to lease the remaining space.
Since this property opened in 1996, comparable financial information for prior
years is not available. The Stockbridge Village I Expansion incurred property
taxes of $25,608 for 1997 and $9,182 for 1996. It is projected that no
additional funding will be required to complete tenant buildout by the
Partnership or Wells Fund VII.

In January, 1995, the Fund II - Fund III Joint Venture contributed 4.3 acres of
land and land improvements at Holcomb Bridge Road to the Fund II - III - VI -
VII Joint Venture. The project opened in April, 1996. Development has been
substantially completed on two buildings with a total of 49,500 square feet. As
of December 31, 1997, fourteen tenants occupied approximately 46,600 square feet
of space in the retail building under leases of varying lengths.
As of December 31, 1997, the Fund II - Fund III Joint Venture contributed
$1,729,116 in land and land improvements for an equity interest of approximately
24.2%, the Partnership contributed $1,812,579 for an equity interest of
approximately 26.9%, and Wells Fund VII had contributed $3,335,121 for an equity
interest of approximately 48.9% to the Holcomb Bridge Road Project. The total
cost to develop the Holcomb Bridge Road Project is currently estimated to be
approximately $5,214,000, excluding land. It is currently anticipated that the
remaining approximately $66,000 will be required to complete the development of
the Holcomb Bridge Road Project, which amounts are anticipated to be funded by
additional capital contributions from the Partnership and Wells Fund VII, which
has reserved sufficient funds for this purpose. Real estate taxes were $85,230
for 1997 and $37,191 for 1996. The Partnership's ownership percentage was 26.9%
in 1997, and 26.0% in 1996.

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 BellSouth Advertising and Publishing
Corporation occupying approximately 66,333 square feet and American Express
occupying approximately 22,607 square feet. An additional approximate 3,091
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 $164,400 for 1997 and $23,234 for 1996, the first year of occupancy.

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. The
land purchase costs were funded by a capital contribution made by the
Partnership. 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 were approximately $8,700,000. A strip shopping center
containing approximately 67,320 gross square feet opened on the site on February
26, 1997.
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.
Tanglewood Commons incurred property taxes of $58,466 for 1997, the first year

</TABLE>
Rental income decreased in 1997, as compared to 1996, due to decreased occupancy
at the property for the first three quarters of 1997. Rental income increased
in 1996 over 1995 due to the Kroger expansion which was completed in November,
1994 but not billed until September, 1995. The increase in occupancy in 1997,
was due to a new 1,200 square foot lease executed in 1997. Operating expenses
of the property decreased to $138,294 in 1997 from $180,841 in 1996, and
increased from $115,885 in 1995. The decrease in operating expenses in 1997, as
compared to 1996, is due to timing differences in billing of common area
maintenance charges and property taxes which was partially offset by increases
in plumbing repair and contract labor expenses. The increase in operating
expenses from 1995 to 1996 is due primarily to repairs and maintenance (roof
repairs, painting and tenant finish) and general and administrative expenses.
The increase in depreciation expenses for 1997 and 1996 as compared to 1995 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.
Net income of the property decreased to $223,497 in 1997 and decreased to
$231,882 in 1996 from $349,097 in 1995, due to the reasons discussed above.
Real estate taxes were $67,259 for 1997, $63,696 for 1996 and $63,694 for 1995.

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 $20,104,000 in properties; reserved
$217,000 as working capital reserves; and the remainder of approximately $60,000
is reserved for investment in joint ventures. It is currently anticipated that
approximately $60,000 will be contributed by the Partnership to the Fund V -
Fund VI Joint Venture to complete the Stockbridge Village II Project and $66,000
will be contributed by the Partnership and Wells Fund VII to the Fund II-III-VI-
VII Joint Venture to complete the Holcomb Bridge Road 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 at the Stockbridge Village II and at
the Holcomb Bridge Road Property, the General Partners have used $32,878 of the
Partnership's working capital reserves to reduce the balance below this minimum
amount, rather than funding the tenant improvements 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 from these projects
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 ) provided by operating activities decreased
from $278,728 for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $(2,716) for the year
ended December 31, 1996 to $(57,206) for the year ended December 31, 1997
primarily due to decreased interest income in 1996 and 1997. Net cash provided
by (used in) investing activities increased from $(9,955,164) in 1995 to
$809,967 in 1996 to $1,189,264 in 1997 due primarily to decreases 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 increases in
distributions received from joint ventures. Cash flow from financing activities
varied from $(1,261,032) in 1995 to $(1,185,516) in 1996 and $(1,452,803) in
1997 due to fluctuations in distributions to partners.
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. No cash distributions were paid to Class B Unit holders for
1997. 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.

<PAGE>
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 should 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.
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 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, 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 VI, 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 VI, 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 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.
("Wells Partners"), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership. The Partnership
has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B units.
Limited partners shall have the right to change their prior elections to have
some or all of their units treated as Class A units or Class B units once
every five years. 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) 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 shopping center in
Clemmons, Forsyth County, North Carolina.
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
F-7
<PAGE>
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The carrying values of the real estate assets are based on management's
current intent to hold the real estate assets as long-term investments. The
success of the Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize the
investment in its assets will be dependent 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 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, as defined
. To the general partners until they have received 100% of their
capital contributions, 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 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 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 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
Partnership or its affiliated joint ventures.
F-9
<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 amounts 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, 1997.
Depreciation for buildings, building improvements, and land improvements is
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 and $352,316
in the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. 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, 1997, 1996, and 1995, is computed based on the weighted
average number of units outstanding during the period.
F-10
<PAGE>
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform with the current
year financial statement presentation.
2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS
The Partnership paid 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 $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, 1997 and 1996 represent fees not yet applied to
properties.
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:

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-11
<PAGE>
The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
costs, at the joint venture level, of $170,646, $93,349, and $45,301 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.
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--Cherokee, 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. 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. Percentage ownership interests in Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII
Associates--Cherokee were determined at the time of formation based on
contributions. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Fund VI and
Fund VII each contributed approximately $1 million to the new joint venture
in return for a 10.7% ownership interest. Fund I's ownership interest in the
Cherokee joint venture changed from 30.6% to 24%, and Fund II and II-OW joint
venture's ownership interest changed from 69.4% to 54.6%. The $2 million in
cash contributed to Cherokee was used to fund an expansion of the property
for an existing tenant.

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
F-48
<PAGE>
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 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:

$4,284,850
==========
</TABLE>
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
F-49
<PAGE>
revenues except for initial leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues
over the first five years of the lease term.
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.
