(b) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P.
(the "Partnership") 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 statements have not been examined by
independent accountants, but in the opinion of the General Partners, the
statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all
adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, 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's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
2. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
The Partnership owns interests in nine properties through its ownership in
joint ventures of which three are office buildings and six are retail
centers. 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.
For a description of the joint ventures and properties owned by the
Partnership, please refer to the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
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 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 Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, including discussion and analysis of the financial
condition of the Partnership, anticipated capital expenditures required to
complete certain projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated to be
distributed to Limited Partners in the future, and certain other matters.
Readers of this Report should be aware that there are various factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statement made in this Report, which include construction costs which may
exceed estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain
new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases, and the potential need
to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating
cash flow.
1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
General
As of March 31, 2000, the developed properties owned by the Partnership
were 96.9% occupied, as compared to 96.5% occupied as of March 31, 1999.
Gross revenues of the Partnership increased to $268,938 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from $242,414 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 due to increased occupancy at Cherokee Commons and Tanglewood
Commons. Total expenses decreased slightly for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 due to decreases in
administrative salary.
Net income per weight average Unit for Class A Limited Partners was $.24
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $.23 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. Net loss per weighted
-8-
<PAGE>
average Unit for Class B and converted Class A Limited Partners was $.65
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $.60 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999.
Cash distributions per weighted average Unit for Class A Limited Partners
was $.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $.21 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. No cash distributions were made by
the Partnership to the Limited Partners holding Class B Units or to the
General Partner. The Partnership anticipates that distributions will
continue to be paid on a quarterly basis on a level at least consistent
with 1999.
The Partnership's net cash provided by investing activities and net cash
used in financing activities increased in 2000, compared to 1999, due to
increases in distributions from joint ventures as occupancy increased.
The Partnership expects to continue to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements and budget demands generally through net cash provided by
operations which the Partnership believes will continue to be adequate to
meet both operating requirements and distributions to limited partners. At
this time, given the nature of the joint ventures in which the Partnership
has invested, there are no known improvements and renovations to the
properties expected to be funded from cash flow from operations.

Rental income increased in 2000 as compared to 1999 due to increased occupancy
and increased rental revenue rates. Management and leasing expenses decreased in
2000, as compared to 1999, due to increased leasing commissions for 1999 and a
catch-up of 1998 management fees in 1999. Other operating expenses remain
negative for 2000 and 1999 due to timing differences in the billing of common
area maintenance to tenants. Tenants are billed an estimate amount for the
current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled in the following
year and the difference billed to the tenant.
