General

Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. (the "Partnership"), is a Georgia public
limited partnership organized on December 1, 1992, under the laws of the state
of Georgia, having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia non-
public partnership as general partners. The Partnership was formed on December
1, 1992, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving,
leasing, and otherwise managing for investment purposes income-producing
commercial properties.

On April 5, 1994, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $25,000,000 of
Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10 per unit) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Partnership did not commence active operations until it received and accepted
subscriptions for a minimum of 125,000 units on April 26, 1994. The Partnership
terminated its offering on January 5, 1995, and received gross proceeds of
$24,180,174 representing subscriptions from 1910 Limited Partners, composed of
two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B limited
partnership units.

The Partnership owns interests in properties through ownership in the following
joint ventures: (i) Fund V, Fund VI, Fund VII Associates, a joint venture among
the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund VI,
L.P. ("Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture"), (ii) Fund VI and Fund VII Associates, a
joint venture between the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Fund
VI-Fund VII Joint Venture"), (iii) Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates, a joint
venture among the Partnership, Wells Fund II-III Joint Venture and Wells Real
Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Fund II-III-VI-VII Joint Venture"), (iv) Fund VII and
Fund VIII Associates, a joint venture between the Partnership and Wells Real
Estate Fund VIII, L.P. ("Fund VII-Fund VIII Joint Venture"), (v) Fund VI, Fund
VII and Fund VIII Associates, a joint venture among the Partnership, Wells Real
Estate Fund VI, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. (the "Fund VI-VII-
VIII Joint Venture"), and (vi) Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Associates, a joint
venture among the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund I, the Fund II and Fund
II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Fund I, II, II-OW,
VI, VII Joint Venture").

As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties through its ownership of the foregoing joint ventures: (i) a three-
story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin (the "Marathon Building"),
(ii) two retail buildings located in Stockbridge, Georgia ("Stockbridge Village

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc., 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 fees paid to the General Partners

Insurance

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, carries
comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the properties
owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership. In the opinion of management,
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 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. As of December 31, 1999, the
properties had an occupancy rate of 97.38%. As of December 31, 1998, the
properties had an occupancy rate of 95.65%. As of December 31, 1997, the seven
properties that were in operation had an occupancy rate of 89.2%.

The following table shows lease expirations during each of the next ten years as
of December 31, 1999, assuming no exercise of renewal options or termination
rights:

The following describes the properties in which the Partnership owns an interest
as of December 31, 1999:

     Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture

     On September 8, 1994, the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.
     ("Wells Fund V") and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Wells Fund VI"),
     both of which are Georgia public limited partnerships affiliated with the
     Partnership through common general partners, entered into a Joint Venture
     Agreement known as Fund V, Fund VI and Fund VII Associates (the "Fund V-VI-

     V-VI-VII Joint Venture:

          The Marathon Building

          On September 16, 1994, the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture purchased a

          square feet, located on approximately 6.2 acres of land in Appleton,
          Wisconsin (the "Marathon Building"). The funds used by the Fund V-VI-

          capital contributions made by the Partnership, Wells Fund V and Wells
          Fund VI totaling $3,470,958, $1,337,505, and $3,470,958, respectively,

          base rent is $910,000. The current lease expires on December 31, 2006.
          The lease agreement is a net lease in that the tenant is responsible
          for the operational expenses including real estate taxes.

          The occupancy rate at the Marathon Building was 100% for 1999, 1998,
          and 1997. The average effective annual rental per square foot in the
          Marathon Building was $12.78 for 1999 and 1998, $12.74 for 1997, and

          acres of real property located in Clayton County, Georgia for a total
          price of approximately $718,000. The Stockbridge Village I Expansion
          consists of a multi-tenant shopping center containing approximately
          29,200 square feet. Construction was substantially complete in April
          1996, with Cici's Pizza occupying a 4,000 square foot restaurant. The

     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-0W Joint
     Venture and Wells Fund VI, 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 Property
     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 VI are substantially identical to those of the Partnership.

          Cherokee Property

          The Cherokee Property consists of a retail shopping center known as
          "Cherokee Commons Shopping Center" located in metropolitan Atlanta,
          Cherokee County, Georgia (the "Cherokee Property"). The Cherokee
          Property has been expanded to consist of approximately 103,755 net
          leasable square feet. The Cherokee Property was initially developed
          through a joint venture between Wells Fund I and the Fund II-Fund II-
          OW Joint Venture, which contributed the Cherokee Property 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, 1999, Wells Fund I had contributed property with a
          book value of $2,139,900, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture had
          contributed property with a book value of $4,860,100, Wells Fund VI
          had contributed cash in the amount of $953,798 and the Partnership had
          contributed cash in the amount of $953,798 to the Fund I-II-II-OW-VI-
          VII Joint Venture. As of December 31, 1999, the equity interests in
          the Fund I-II-II-OW-VI-VII Joint Venture were approximately as
          follows: Wells Fund I, 24%; Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture, 54%;
          Wells Fund VI, 11%; and the Partnership, 11%.

          The Cherokee Property is anchored by a 67,115 square foot lease with
          Kroger Food/Drug 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, 1999, the Cherokee Property
          was approximately 97% occupied by 21 tenants, including Kroger.
          Kroger, a retail grocery chain, is the only tenant occupying ten
          percent or more of the rentable square footage. The other tenants in
          the shopping center provide typical retail shopping services.

          The Kroger lease provides 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 at the same rental rate as the original lease.

          The occupancy rate at the Cherokee Property at year end was 97% in
          1999, 91% in 1998, 94% in 1997, $8.59 for 1996.

           The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Cherokee
           Property was $9.11 for 1999, $8.78 for 1998, $8.49 for 1997, $8.59
           for 1996, and $7.50 for 1995.

                                    PART II

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

As of February 28, 2000, the Partnership had 2,036,267 outstanding Class A
Status Units held by a total of 1,666 Limited Partners and 381,750 of Class B
Status held by a total of 250 Limited Partners. There is no established public
trading 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, 1999 to be $10.91 per A unit and $14.29 per B
unit based on market conditions existing in early December 1999. This value was
confirmed as reasonable by an independent MAI appraiser, David L. Beal Company,
although no actual MAI appraisal was performed due to the inordinate expense
involved with such an undertaking. The valuation does not include any fractional
interest valuation.

Cash distribution from Net Cash from Operations are distributed to the Limited
Partners on a quarterly basis unless Limited Partners elect to have their cash
distributions paid monthly. Net Cash from Operations is defined in the
Partnership Agreement as Cash Flow less adequate cash reserves for other
obligations of the Partnership for which there is no provision, but are
initially allocated none of the depreciation, amortization, cost recovery, and
interest expense. These items are allocated to Class B Unit holders until their
capital account balances have been reduced to zero. Under the Partnership
Agreement, distributions 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, as defined. Cash available for distribution is then
distributed to the General Partners until they have received an amount equal to
10% of cash distributions. Any remaining cash available for distribution is
split between the Limited Partners holding Class A Units and the General
Partners in a ratio of 90% and 10% respectively. No distributions will be made
to the Limited Partners holding Class B Units. Holders of Class A Units will,
except in limited circumstances, be allocated none of the Partnership's Net
Loss, depreciation, amortization and cost recovery deductions. These deductions
will be allocated to Class B Units until their Capital account balances have
been reduced to zero.

No distributions have been made to the General Partner as of December 31, 1999.
Cash distributions made to Limited Partners holding Class A Units (and Limited
Partners holding Class B Units that have elected a conversion right) during 1999
and 1998 were as follows:

The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1999, and
was not actually paid to Limited Partners holding Class A Units until February
2000. The General Partners anticipate that cash distributions to Limited
Partners holding Class A units will continue in 2000 at a level at least
comparable with 1999 cash distributions on an annual basis.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL AND CONDITIONS RESULTS
        OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
selected financial data and the accompanying financial statements of the
Partnership and notes thereto. This Report contains forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including discussion and analysis of the
financial condition of the Partnership, anticipated capital expenditures
required to complete certain projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated
to be distributed to Limited Partners in the future and certain other matters.
Readers of this Report should be aware that there are various factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement
made in this Report, which include construction costs which may exceed
estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants
upon the expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to Fund tenant
improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions

General

Gross revenue of the Partnership increased to $982,630 in 1999 from $846,306 in
1998 due primarily to increased income from the joint ventures, primarily due to
increased occupancy at the Holcomb Bridge Road Property and Stockbridge
Expansion.

Net income of the Partnership was $895,795 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1999, compared to $754,334 in 1998 due primarily to the increase in revenues
discussed above.

The Partnership made cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A
Units of $0.87 per unit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, $0.82 per
unit for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, and $0.79 per Unit for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997. No cash distributions were made to the Limited
Partners holding Class B Units for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999,
December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997. Distributions were accrued for the
fourth quarter of 1999 and paid in February 2000. No distributions were made to
General Partners.

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

Rental income remained relatively stable in 1999, 1998 and 1997. Management and
leasing fees increased, as compared to 1998, due to an under-accrual of fees in
1998. Operating expenses increased slightly due primarily to increases in
accounting and administrative fees.

Cash distribution to the Partnership and net income allocated to Partnership
remained relatively stable for 1999.

Rental income increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 and 1997 due primarily to
100% occupancy for the whole year 1999 at the property. A tenant vacated its
space in early 1998 and the space was released late in 1998. Management and
leasing expenses increased as the rental income increased. Other operating
expenses were higher in 1998 due to bed debt expense recorded in 1998.

The Stockbridge Village III Project incurred property taxes of $26,211 for 1999,
$25,248 for 1998, and $25,009 for 1997.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI-Fund VII Joint Venture
decreased to 56.3% for 1999 and 1998, as compared to 57.5% in 1997, due to
additional funding by Wells Fund VI, which decreased the Partnership's ownership
in the Fund VI-Fund VII Joint Venture.

Rental income, net income, and cash distributions have increased due primarily
to increased occupancy. Other operating expenses were higher in 1997 due
primarily to common area maintenance billings to tenant that were underestimated
in 1997. Tenants are billed as estimated amount for the current year common area
maintenance which is then reconciled the following year and the difference
billed to the tenant.

The Stockbridge Village I Expansion incurred property taxes of $23,085 for 1999,
$22,565 for 1998, and $25,608 for 1997.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI-Fund VII Joint Venture
decreased to 56.3% for 1999 and 1998, as compared to 57.5% in 1997, due to
additional funding by Wells Fund VI, which decreased the Partnership's ownership
in the Fund VI-Fund VII Joint Venture.

Rental income increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 due primarily to increased
tenant occupancy. The lower rental income in 1997 is due to the 94% occupancy
starting in late 1997. Depreciation expense increased as occupancy rate
increased due to tenant improvements taking place when tenants moved in.
Management and leasing expenses increased due primarily to increased management
fees that are charged based on rental income. Other operating expenses decreased
in 1999 as compared to 1998 due primarily to an over accrual of property tax in
1998. Other operating expenses were higher in 1997 due primarily to water/sewer
reimbursement paid by Fulton County Water which did not begin until 1998.

Real estate taxes were $53, 896 for 1999, $52,162 for 1998, and $85,230 for
1997.

Moovies, Inc., a video sales and rental store, signed a nine year, eleven month
lease for 6,020 square feet and occupied the space and opened for business on
June 22, 1996. As of September 30, 1998, the remaining 6,060 square feet was
leased to Norwest Financial and Prudential Realty, which commenced in October
1998.

Rental income, net income and cash distributions have increased as compared to
1998 due to 100% occupancy starting in late 1998. Depreciation expense increased
due to tenant improvement built out at the end of 1998.

Distributions decreased in 1998 due to $44,000 in construction being funded by
operating cash flow in 1998.

Real estate taxes were $12,995 for 1999, 12,668 for 1998, and $12,219 for 1997.

Rental income, net income, depreciation and management and leasing expenses
increased due primarily to a full year occupancy of Affiliated Engineers in 1999
as compared to 1998.  Other operating expenses decreased due primarily to common
area maintenance billings to tenant that were under estimated in 1998.  Tenants
are billed an estimated amount for the current year common area maintenance
which is then reconciled the following year and the difference is billed to the
tenant.

Real estate taxes were $81,703 for 1999, $79,407 for 1998, and $79,428 for 1997.

Rental income, depreciation, and management and leasing expenses have remained
relatively stable.  While other operating expenses have fluctuated from $415,114
for 1997, to $436,403 for 1998, and $415,114 for 1999.  HVAC and various other
operating expenses were higher in 1998.  This created a greater common area
maintenance billing to the tenants in 1999.   Tenants are billed an estimated
amount for the current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled the
following year and the difference billed to the tenant.

Net income has decreased in 1999 and 1998 as compared to 1997 due primarily to
increased costs for HVAC repairs and various other building expenses.  Cash
distributions and net income allocated to the partnership decreased in 1999 and
1998 over 1997 levels due primarily to additional funding by Wells Fund VIII in
early 1997, which decreased the partnership ownership in the Fund VI-VII-VIII
Joint Venture.

The BellSouth Property incurred property taxes of $166,706 for 1999, $171,629
for 1998 and $164,400 for 1997.

Rental income has increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 due to an increase in
occupancy in late 1998.  Depreciation, management, and leasing expense and other
operating expenses have also increased due to the increased occupancy creating a
slight decrease in net income.  Common area maintenance billings to tenants were
lower in 1999 as compared to 1998 by approximately $9,000.  Tenants are billed
an estimated amount for the current year common area maintenance which is then
reconciled the following year and the difference billed to the tenant.  Since
this property commenced operations in February 1997, comparable income and
expense figures for 1997 are not available.

Tanglewood Commons incurred property taxes of $53,259 in 1999, $52,229 for 1998
and $58,466 for 1997, the first year of occupancy.

Rental income increased from $909,821 in 1998 to $945,222 in 1999 due to an
increase in occupancy from 91% in 1998 to 97% in 1999.  Rental income increased
in 1998 over 1997 due primarily to a one time adjustment made to the straight
line rent schedule in 1997.  Management and leasing expenses increased from
$82,517 in 1998 to $94,149 in 1999 due to an increase in occupancy and rental
renewal rates.  Operating expenses of the property decreased to $68,090 in 1999,
from $84,676 in 1998 due to increased CAM billings to tenants that were under-
accrued in 1998 offset by increased expenditures for tenant improvements, HVAC
repairs and a partial demolition of a tenant suit in 1999, and decreased from
$138,294 in 1997 to $84,676 in 1998 due to decreased expenditures for tenant
improvements, common area expenses and legal fees.  Tenants are billed an
estimate amount for the current year common area maintenance which is then
reconciled to the following year and the difference billed to the tenant.  Net
income of the property increased to $335,082 in 1999, from $298,062 in 1998, and
$223,497 in 1997 due to the reasons discussed above.

Real estate taxes were $87,411 for 1999, $ 77,311 for 1998, and $67,259 for
1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On April 5, 1994, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $25,000,000 of
Class A or Class B Limited Partnership Units ($10 per unit) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933.  The
offering was terminated on January 5, 1995, at which time the Partnership had
sold 1,678,810 Class A Units and 739,208 Class B Units, held by a total of 1,591
and 319 Limited Partners respectively, for total Limited Partner capital
contributions of $24,180,174.  After

                                      -22-

payment of $846,306 in acquisition and expense fees, payment of $3,627,026 in
selling commissions and organization and offering expenses and the investment of
the Partnership of $3,358,633 in the Fund VI-Fund VII Joint Venture, $3,470,958
in the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture, $2,448,923 in the Fund VII-Fund VIII Joint
Venture, 5,932,312 in the Fund VI-VII-VIII Joint Venture, $953,798 in the Fund
I-II-II-OW-VI-VII Joint Venture, $3,525,041 in the Fund II-III-VI-VII Joint
Venture, $2,547 in other acquisition expenses, the Partnership is holding a
balance of $14,630 as working reserves.

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 to be
reduced below 1% of Limited Partners' capital contributions.  As set forth
above, in order to fund a portion of Holcomb Bridge Road Property and
Stockbridge Village III Project, the General Partners have used a portion of the
Partnership's working capital reserves to reduce the balance below this minimum
amount, rather than funding the tenant improvements out of operating cash flow,
which would have the effect of reducing cash flow distributions to Limited
Partners.

Net cash used in operating activities increased from $72,194 in 1998 to $82,763
in 1999 due primarily to the decrease in interest income which resulted from
expending remaining funds on joint ventures as discussed above.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased in 1999 compared to 1998 due
primarily to the increase in the distributions from joint ventures coupled with
the decrease in investments in joint ventures.  The increase in net cash used in
financing activities in 1999 compared to 1998 is the result of the increase in
distributions to partners.  Cash and cash equivalents have increased from
$75,740 in 1998 to $81,697 in 1999, and decreased from $194,420 in 1997 to
$75,740 in 1998 due primarily to investments made in joint ventures in 1998.

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.

Since properties are acquired on an all-cash basis, the Partnership has no
permanent long-term liquidity requirements.

Cash distributions of $0.87 per weighted average Unit were made to Class A
Limited Partners for the year ended December 31, 1999.  The Partnership's
distributions for the fourth quarter of 1999 will be paid in February 2000 from
Net Cash from Operations.  The Partnership anticipates that distributions will
continue to be paid on a quarterly basis from such sources on a level at least
consistent with 1999.

The Partnership is unaware of any known demands, commitments, events or capital
expenditures other than that which is required for the normal operations of its
properties that will result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way.  The Partnership intends to fund any cash
requirements through operating cash flow.

Inflation

Real estate has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past three
years due to the relatively low inflation rate.  There are provisions in the
majority of tenant leases executed by the Partnership to protect the Partnership
from the impact of inflation.  Most leases contain common area maintenance
charges ("CAM charges"), real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per
square foot bases, or in some

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square
foot allowance. These provisions should reduce the Partnership's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition,
a number of the Partnership's leases are for terms of less than five years which
may permit the Partnership to replace existing leases with new leases at higher
base rental rates if the existing leases are below market rate. There is no
assurance, however, that the Partnership would be able to replace existing
leases with new leases at higher base rentals.

Year 2000

The Partnership made the transaction into the year 2000 without any information
systems, business operations or facilities related system problems.  Management
believes that there are no other Y2K related issues that may require disclosure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND VII,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
the related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 VII,
L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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, 1999 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.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Organization and Business

     Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
     partnership organized on December 1, 1992 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 one time during each quarterly accounting period. 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 either to be developed,
     currently under development or construction, newly constructed, or have
     operating histories. The Partnership owns an interest in the following
     properties through joint ventures between the Partnership and other Wells

     Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Partnership

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     The carrying values of real estate 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,

                                      F-7
<PAGE>

     and an appropriate level of operating expenses in future years. Management
     believes that the steps that 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 the 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 all limited
               partners have received 100% of their adjusted capital
               contributions, as defined

          .    To limited partners holding Class B units 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 until they receive a cumulative 10% per
               annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined

          .    To all limited partners until they receive an amount equal to
               their respective cumulative distributions, as defined

          .    To 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

     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 and amortization. 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, and amortization 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

                                      F-8
<PAGE>

     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 and amortization 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 the deductions
     for depreciation and amortization previously allocated to them with respect
     to the specific partnership property sold, but not in excess of the amount
     of gain on sale recognized by the Partnership with respect to the sale of
     such property.

     Investment in Joint Ventures

     Basis of Presentation. The Partnership does not have control over the
     operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant
     influence. Accordingly, investments in joint ventures are recorded using
     the equity method of accounting.

     Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets held by the joint ventures are
     stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and
     betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related
     asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

     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
     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 Partnership or its affiliated joint ventures as of December 31, 1999.

     Depreciation for buildings and improvements is calculated using the
     straight-line method over 25 years.

     Revenue Recognition. All leases on real estate assets held by the joint
     ventures are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income
     is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective
     leases.

     Partners' Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss. Cash available
     for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the Partnership by
     the joint ventures are made in accordance with the terms of the individual
     joint venture agreements. Generally, these items are allocated in
     proportion to the partners' respective ownership interests. Cash is paid
     from the joint ventures to the Partnership quarterly.

     Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs. Costs incurred to procure operating
     leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the
     terms of the related leases.

                                      F-9
<PAGE>

     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, 1999, 1998, and 1997 is computed based on the weighted
     average number of units outstanding during the period.

     Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
     current year financial statement presentation.

</TABLE>

     The Partnership entered into a property management agreement with Wells
     Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the general
     partners. In consideration for supervising the management of the
     Partnership's properties, the Partnership will generally pay Wells
     Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) 3% of the gross
     revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate
     maximum of 6%) plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of
     newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily
     charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar services
     in the same geographic area for similar properties or (b) in the case of
     commercial properties, which are leased on a long-term net basis (ten or
     more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal
     to 3% of the gross revenues over the first five years of the lease term.

     The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
     costs, at the joint venture level, of $199,571, $144,379, and $211,201 for
     the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, which were
     paid to Wells Management.

     Wells Capital, Inc. (the "Company") performs certain administrative
     services for the Partnership, such as accounting and other partnership
     administration, and incurs the related expenses. Such expenses are

                                      F-10
<PAGE>

     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 in other Wells Real Estate
     Funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the general
     partners in the capacity as general partners for 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

     In August 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 VI, L.P. ("Fund VI"). 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

                                      F-11

     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.

Fund VI and VII Associates

On December 9, 1994, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement with
Fund VI. The joint venture, Fund VI and VII Associates, was formed for the
purpose of investing in commercial properties. In December 1994, the Partnership
contributed its interest in a parcel of land, the Stockbridge Village III Retail
Center property, located in Stockbridge, Georgia, to the joint venture. The
Stockbridge Village III Retail Center property is comprised of two separate
outparcel buildings totaling approximately 18,500 square feet. One of the
outparcel buildings began operations during 1995. The other outparcel began
operations during 1996. On June 7, 1995, Fund VI and VII Associates purchased
3.38 acres of real property located in Stockbridge, Georgia. The retail center
expansion consists of a multi-tenant shopping center containing approximately
29,000 square feet.

During 1997 and 1998, both the Partnership and Fund VI made contributions to
Fund VI and VII Associates, and during 1996, the Partnership made additional
contributions to the joint venture. Ownership percentage interests were
recomputed accordingly.

Fund VI, VII, and VIII Associates

On April 17, 1995, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with Fund VI 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 BellSouth 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. A retail shopping center was developed
and was substantially complete at December 31, 1997.

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

Fund VII and VIII Associates

On February 10, 1995, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
with Fund VIII. The joint venture, Fund VII and VIII Associates, was formed to
acquire, develop, operate, and sell real properties. During 1995, the joint
venture purchased a five-acre parcel of land in Gainesville, Alachua County,
Florida. A 62,975-square-foot office building was constructed and began
operations during 1995. In April 1996, the Partnership contributed 1.01 acres of
land located in Stockbridge, Georgia, and improvements thereon to the joint
venture for the development of a 12,000-square-foot, single-story combination
retail/office building. The building was completed and commenced operations in
1996.

The following are the financial statements for Fund VII and VIII Associates:
