accounting principles for complete financial statements. These quarterly

necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in
the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2) Investment in Joint Ventures

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATION.
- ---------------------
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 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 expiration of existing leases, and
the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out
of operating cash flow.

<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------
(a) General
- -----------
As of June 30, 1998, the properties owned by the Partnership were 95% occupied.
Gross revenues of the Partnership were $733,404 for the six months ended June
30, 1998, as compared to $516,068 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase was attributable primarily to the increase in income of joint venture
offset partially by decreased interest income earned on funds held by the
Partnership prior to the investment in joint venture. Expenses of the
Partnership decreased to $60,408 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to $80,643 for the same period in 1997, as the result of decreased
activity primarily in printing and other partnership administrative costs. Net
income of the Partnership was $672,996 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
as compared to a net income of $435,425 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased to
$784,781 for 1998, as compared to ($101,420) for 1997, which is due primarily to
changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash used in investing activities
decreased to $9,169,188 from $12,077,264. Net cash used in financing activities
increased from $573,078 to $945,034 due primarily to the increase in
distribution to partners from accumulated earnings. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased from $10,806,223 as of June 30, 1997 to $434,689 as of June 30, 1998.
Cash distributions of $0.21 per weighted average Unit were made to Class A
Limited Partners for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as opposed to
distributions of $0.09 per Class A Unit for the same period in 1997. The
Partnership currently anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on
a quarterly basis on a level at least consistent with 1998 distributions.
The Partnership expects to continue to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements 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 or renovations to the properties expected to be funded from
cash flow from operations.
The Partnership expects to make future real estate investments, directly or
through investments in joint ventures, from limited partnership contributions.
As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership was holding $471,116 of net offering
proceeds available for investment in properties, including approximately $63,235
which is reserved for completion of the ABB Building in Knoxville, Tennessee
owned by the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture.
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
10
<PAGE>
2000. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the year 2000 will have significant
impact on the Partnership's operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", requires certain transactions (e.g., unrealized
gains/losses on available for sale securities) that are not reflected in net
income to be displayed as other comprehensive income. The Statement also
requires an entity to report total comprehensive income (i.e., net income plus
other comprehensive income) for every period in which an income statement is
presented. SFAS No. 130 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. None of the transactions required to be reported in
other comprehensive income pertain to the Partnership; consequently, adoption of
this Statement had no impact on the Partnership's disclosures.
Effective April 3, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities". SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998, and initial application is required to be reported as a cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle. This SOP provides guidance on the
financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs. It requires costs
of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.
Adoption of this Statement by the Partnership in the first quarter of 1999 may
result in the write-off of certain capitalized organization costs. Adoption of
this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's
results of operations and financial condition.

</TABLE>
Net income and cash distributions are greater in 1998, as compared to 1997, due
primarily to increased interest income coupled with a slight decrease in
accounting expenses.
The Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture
decreased in 1998, as compared to 1997, due to additional fundings by Wells Fund
VIII which increased Wells Fund VIII's interest and decreased the Partnership's
ownership interest in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture.

On January 10, 1997, Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture acquired a two-story office
building containing approximately 63,417 rentable square feet on a 4.4 acre
tract of land located in the Irvine Spectrum planned business community in
metropolitan Orange County, California (the "Matsushita Building") for a
purchase price of $7,193,000 excluding acquisition costs.
The entire Matsushita Building is currently under a net lease to Matsushita
Avionics Systems Corporation. Under the Lease, Matsushita Avionics is
responsible for all utilities, taxes, insurance and other operating expenses
during the term of the Lease.
Rental income and net income have increased, as compared to 1997, due primarily
to an understatement of straight line rent in 1997.
The Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture
decreased in 1998, as compared to 1997, due to additional fundings by Wells Fund
VIII which increased Wells Fund VIII's interest and decreased the Partnership's
ownership interest in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture.

On February 20, 1997, the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture purchased a two-story
partially completed office building in Boulder County, Colorado (the "Cirrus
Logic Building") for $7,029,000 excluding acquisition costs. Construction of
the 49,460 square foot building was substantially completed in March, 1997.
Cirrus Logic, Inc. has leased the entire building for a fifteen year term
beginning March 17, 1997. The annual base rental under the term of the Cirrus
Logic lease is $617,656 for the first five years, will be increased by 10% in
the sixth through tenth years and will be increased an additional 10% in years
eleven through fifteen.
Since the Cirrus Logic Building was purchased in February 1997 and was not
completed until March 1997, comparative income and expense figures for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not available. Other operating expenses
decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same
period in 1997, due primarily to differences in the annual adjustment for common
area maintenance billing to the tenant.
The Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture
decreased in 1998, as compared to 1997, due to additional fundings by Wells Fund
VIII which increased Wells Fund VIII's interest and decreased the Partnership's
ownership in the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture.
