CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II,” “we,” “our” or “us”) other than historical facts may be considered 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. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in those acts. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual conditions, our ability to accurately anticipate results expressed in such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, make distributions to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. See Item 1A in this Form 10-Q and Item 1A in Wells REIT II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements. The risk factors described in our Annual Report are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are material to us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also harm our business.

Wells REIT II engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and commenced operations on January 22, 2004. Wells REIT II conducts business primarily through Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. (“Wells OP II”), a Delaware limited partnership. Wells REIT II is the sole general partner of Wells OP II, and Wells OP II LP, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells REIT II, is the sole limited partner of Wells OP II. Therefore, Wells REIT II owns 100% of the equity interestinterests in, and possesses full legal control and authority over, the operations of Wells OP II. Wells OP II acquires, develops, owns, leases, and operates real properties directly, through wholly owned subsidiaries, or through joint ventures. References to Wells REIT II herein shall include Wells REIT II and all subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, including consolidated joint ventures, Wells OP II, Wells OP II LP, LLC, and Wells OP II’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. Wells Real Estate Advisory Services II, LLC ("WREAS II") serves as the external advisor to Wells REIT II. See Note 8 for a discussion of the advisory services provided by WREAS II.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, Wells REIT II owned controlling interests in 7271 office properties and one hotel, which include 9593 operational buildings. These properties are comprised of approximately 23.022.6 million square feet of commercial space and are located in 23 states, the District of Columbia, and Moscow, Russia. Of these properties, 7069 are wholly owned and three are owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, the office properties were approximately 93.2%94.3% leased.
On December 1, 2003, Wells REIT II commenced its initial public offering of up to 785.0 million shares of common stock, of which 185.0 million shares were reserved for issuance through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”), pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 with the SEC (the “Initial Public Offering”). Except for continuing to offer shares for sale through its DRP, Wells REIT II stopped offering shares for sale under the Initial Public Offering on November 26, 2005. Wells REIT II raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.1 million shares under the Initial Public Offering, including shares sold under the DRP through March 2006. On November 10, 2005, Wells REIT II commenced a follow-on offering of up to 300.6 million shares of common stock, of which 0.6 million shares were reserved for issuance under Wells REIT II’s DRP, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 with the SEC (the “Follow-On Offering”). On April 14, 2006, Wells REIT II amended the aforementioned registration statements to offer in a combined prospectus 300.6 million shares registered under the Follow-On Offering and 174.4 million unsold shares related to the DRP originally registered under the Initial Public Offering. Wells REIT II raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion from the sale of approximately 257.6 million shares under the Follow-On Offering, including shares sold under the DRP, through November 2008. Wells REIT II stopped offering shares for sale under the Follow-On Offering on November 10, 2008.
On November 11, 2008, Wells REIT II commenced a third offering of up to 375.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 with the SEC (the “Third Offering”). Under the Third Offering registration statement, as amended, Wells REIT II offered up to 300.0 million shares of common stock in a primary offering for $10 per share,per-share, with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers, and up to 75.0 million shares pursuant to its DRP at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.55 per share or 95% of the estimated value of a share of its common stock.$9.55. Effective June 30, 2010, Wells REIT II ceased offering shares under the Third Offering. On August 27, 2010, the Third Offering was deregistered under the Form S-11 filing and the shares issuable pursuant to the DRP were registered on Form S-3. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, Wells REIT II had raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $1.3$1.4 billion from the sale of approximately 133.7137.2 million shares under the Third Offering, including shares sold under the DRP.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, Wells REIT II had raised gross offering proceeds from the sale of common stock under its public offerings of approximately $5.9 billion. After deductions from such gross offering proceeds for selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $520.2$509.5 million, acquisition fees of approximately $116.8 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $75.9 million, and common stock redemptions pursuant to our share redemption program of approximately $450.9$472.6 million, Wells REIT II had received aggregate net offering proceeds of approximately $4.7 billion. Substantially all of Wells REIT II’s net offering proceeds have been invested in real estate.

However, Wells REIT II’s charter requires that in the event Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a national securities exchange by October 2015, Wells REIT II must either seek stockholder approval to extend or amend this listing deadline or seek stockholder approval to begin liquidating investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders. If Wells REIT II seeks stockholder approval to extend or amend this listing date and

does not obtain it, Wells REIT II will then be required to seek stockholder approval to liquidate. In this circumstance, if Wells

REIT II seeks and does not obtain approval to liquidate, Wells REIT II will not be required to list or liquidate and could continue to operate indefinitely as an unlisted company.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Wells REIT II have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for these unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, and any variable interest entity in which Wells REIT II or Wells OP II was deemed the primary beneficiary. With respect to entities that are not variable interest entities, Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements shall also include the accounts of any entity in which Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, or their subsidiaries own a controlling financial interest and any limited partnership in which Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, or its subsidiaries own a controlling general partnership interest. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Wells REIT II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Fair Value Measurements
Wells REIT II estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability:
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts.
Level 2 – Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market. Such assets or liabilities are valued based on the best available data, some of which may be internally developed. Significant assumptions may include risk premiums that a market participant would consider.
Investment in Real Estate Assets

We areWells REIT II is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:
 Buildings  40 years
 Building improvements  5-25 years
 Site improvements  15 years
 Tenant improvements  Shorter of economic life or lease term
 Intangible lease assets  Lease term

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

Wells REIT II continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which Wells REIT II has an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets (liabilities) may not be recoverable, Wells REIT II assesses the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, Wells


Page 11

Table of Contents


REIT II adjusts the carrying value of the real estate assets and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, in order of preference, depending upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. Certain of our assets may be carried at more than an amount that could be realized in a current disposition transaction.

During the third quarter of 2011, Wells REIT II evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the Manhattan Towers property and determined that it was not recoverable, as defined by the accounting policy outlined above. The Manhattan Towers property is located in Manhattan Beach, California and includes two office buildings with total occupancy of 22%. In the third quarter of 2011, upon considering the economic impact of various property disposition scenarios not previously contemplated, including the likelihood of achieving the projected returns associated with each scenario, Wells REIT II opted to transfer the Manhattan Towers property to an affiliate of the lender in full settlement of a $75.0 million nonrecourse mortgage loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction, which closed on September 6, 2011. As a result of this transaction, Wells REIT II reduced the carrying value of the Manhattan Towers property to its fair value, estimated based on the present value of estimated future property cash flows, by recognizing a property impairment loss of approximately $5.8 million, and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt, net of the property impairment loss, is reflected as loss on disposition of discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

The fair value measurements used in this evaluation of nonfinancial assets are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy outlined above, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examples of inputs that were utilized in the fair value calculations include estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, and sales prices. The table below represents the detail of the adjustments recognized quarter and year to date as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands) using Level 3 inputs.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising from In-Place Leases where Wells REIT II is the Lessee

In-place ground leases where Wells REIT II is the lessee may have value associated with effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates. Such values are calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as intangible lease liabilities or assets and amortized as an adjustment to property operating cost over the remaining term of the respective leases. Wells REIT II had gross below-market lease assets of approximately $110.7 million and $110.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and recognized amortization of these assets of approximately $1.0$1.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, the remaining net below-market lease asset will be amortized as follows (in thousands):

Redeemable Common Stock
Under Wells REIT II’sII's share redemption program (“SRP”), the decision to honor redemptions, subject to certain plan requirements and limitations, falls outside of the control of Wells REIT II. As a result, Wells REIT II records redeemable common stock in the temporary equity section of its consolidated balance sheet.

Total redemptions (including those tendered within two years of a stockholder's death) are limited to the extent that they would cause both (i) the aggregate amount paid for all redemptions during the then-current calendar year to exceed 100% of the net proceeds raised under the DRP during such calendar year and (ii) the


Page 1213

Table of Contents


total number of shares redeemed during the then-current calendar year to exceed 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. Therefore, Wells REIT II measures redeemable common stock at the greater of these limits (or, for the periods presented in this report, 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, multiplied by the maximum price at which future shares could be redeemed), less the amount incurred to redeem shares during the current calendar year. The maximum price at which shares could be redeemed (i.e. in cases of death, disability, or qualification for federal assistance for confinement to a long-term care facility) was measured at the gross issue price under Wells REIT II's primary offerings (generally, $10.00 per share) as of December 31, 2010, and measured at the most recently reported net asset value per share ($7.47 per share - see Subsequent Events Section of Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis" for additional details) as of September 30, 2011.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
Wells REIT II enters into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate its interest rate risk on the related financial instruments. Wells REIT II does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes; however, certain of its derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Wells REIT II records the fair value of its interest rate swaps either as prepaid expenses and other assets or as accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of interest rate swaps that are designated as hedges are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss), while changes in the fair value of the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded as gain (loss) on interest rate swaps. Amounts received or paid under interest rate swap agreements are recorded as interest expense for contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and as gain (loss) on interest rate swaps for contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Wells REIT II estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures, which became effective for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability:
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts.
Level 2 – Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market. Such assets or liabilities are valued based on the best available data, some of which may be internally developed. Significant assumptions may include risk premiums that a market participant would consider.
Wells REIT II applied the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures in recording its interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair values of the interest rate swap, classified under Level 2, were determined using a third-party proprietary model that is based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) information, and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. The fair value of Wells REIT II’s interest rate swaps were $(51.7)$(67.1) million and $(48.4) million at JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Please refer to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements disclosure abovebelow for additional details.

Income Taxes
Wells REIT II has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT, Wells REIT II generally is not subject to income tax on income it distributes



Page 14



to stockholders. Wells REIT II is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”) and Wells KCP TRS, LLSLLC ("Wells KCP TRS") are wholly owned subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies, and operate, among other things, a full-service hotel. Wells REIT II has elected to treat Wells TRS and Wells KCP TRS as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Wells REIT II may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of its buildings through Wells TRS or Wells KCP TRS; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for Wells REIT II to continue to qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must limit its investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 25% of the value of the total assets of Wells REIT II for 2010.assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities based on the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Wells REIT II records interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Noncontrolling Interests
Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the consolidated statements of equity and represent the equity interests of consolidated subsidiaries that are not owned by Wells REIT II. Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted for contributions, distributions, and earningearnings attributable to the nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated joint ventures. Pursuant to the terms of the consolidated joint venture agreements, all earnings and distributions are allocated to joint venturers in accordance with the terms of the respective joint venture agreements. Earnings allocated to such nonredeemable noncontrolling interest holders are recorded as net (income) loss attributable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are presented separately in the consolidated statements of equity.
Until June 30, 2011, Wells Capital, Inc. ("Wells Capital") held an interest in Wells OP II's limited partnership units which was redeemable under certain circumstances, and, therefore, the noncontrolling interest in Wells OP II was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 ($0.1 million). Effective June 30, 2011, Wells Capital's interest in Wells OP II partnership units were exchanged for shares of Wells REIT II common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is a major restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) by providing the authoritative literature in a topically organized structure.
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) clarified previously issued GAAP and issued new requirements related to Accounting Standards Codifications Topic Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASU 2010-6”). The clarification component includes disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used in determining fair value, and providing fair value measurement information for each class of assets and liabilities. The new requirements relate to disclosures of transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy, as well as the individual components in the rollforward of the lowest level (Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy. This change in GAAP became effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2010, except for the provision concerning the rollforward of activity of the Level 3 fair value measurement, which became effective for Wells REIT II on January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-6 has not had a material impact on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement Topic Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 converges the U.S. GAAP and IFRS definition of “fair value”,value,” the requirements for measuring amounts at fair value, and disclosures about these measurements. The update does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is effective for Wells REIT II on December 15, 2011. Wells REIT II expects that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on Wells REIT II's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.


Page 14



In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income Topic Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The adoption of


Page 15



ASU 2011-05 is effective for Wells REIT II on December 15, 2012.2011, except for the specific requirement to present items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income that has been deferred. Wells REIT II expects that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on Wells REIT II's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

On March 7, 2011, Wells REIT II entered into a $300.0 million, six-month, unsecured loan (the “JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan”)to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Market Square Buildings with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase Bank"). Under the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan, interest was incurred based on, at Wells REIT II's option, LIBOR for one-, two-, or three-month periods, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% (the “Bridge LIBOR Rate”), or at an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin of 1.25% (the “Bridge Base Rate”). The Bridge Base Rate for any day was the greatest of (1) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect in its principal office in New York City for such day, (2) the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50%, or (3) the one-month LIBOR Rate for such day plus 1.00%. The JPMorgan Bridge Facility was fully repaid on June 3, 2011.

On June 30, 2011, Wells REIT II entered into a mortgage loan secured by the Market Square Buildings with Pacific Life Insurance Company for $325.0 million (the "Market Square mortgage note"). Substantially all of the net proceeds from the Market Square mortgage note were used to repay amounts drawn on the $500.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank entered into on May 7, 2010 (the "JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility"). Wells REIT II used borrowings under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to fund a portion of the March 7, 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings. The Market Square mortgage note, which requires interest-only monthly payments, matures on July 1, 2023 and bears interest at an annual rate of 5.07%. Wells REIT II has the right to prepay the outstanding amount in full provided that (i) 30 days' prior written notice of the intent to prepay is provided to the lender and (ii) a prepayment premium is paid to the lender. If the prepayment is made before July 1, 2013, the prepayment premium is equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) 1.0% of the outstanding principal or (b) the yield loss amount plus (ii) 3.0% of the outstanding principal. If the prepayment is made on or after July 1, 2013 but before April 1, 2023, the prepayment premium is equal to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the outstanding principal or (ii) the yield loss amount. No prepayment premium need be paid if the prepayment is made on or after April 1, 2023.

On July 8, 2011, Wells REIT II entered an amendment to the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility (the “JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the "JPMorgan Chase Bank") to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Facilityfacility to May 7, 2015, (ii) enable Wells REIT II to increase the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility amount by an aggregate of up to $150.0 million to a total

facility amount not to exceed $650.0 million on two occasions on or before December 7, 2014, upon meeting certain criteria, and (iii) reduce the interest rate and the facility fee as described below. Except as noted above and described below, the terms of the Facilityfacility remain materially unchanged by the Amendment.

amendment.
The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment provides for interest costs to be incurred based on, at the option of Wells REIT II, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)LIBOR for one-, two-, three-, or six-month periods, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.05% (the “LIBOR Rate”) or at the alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.05% (the “Base Rate”). The alternate base rate for any day is the greatest of the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect in its principal office in New York City for such day, the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50%, and the one-month LIBOR Rate for such day plus 1.00%. The margin component of the LIBOR Rate and the Base Rate is based on Wells REIT II's applicable credit rating (as defined in the Facilityfacility agreement). Additionally, Wells REIT II must pay a per annumper-annum facility fee on the aggregate revolving commitment (used or unused) ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% based on Wells REIT II's applicable credit rating.
In the third quarter of 2011, Wells REIT II used cash on hand and proceeds from the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to fully repay the Cranberry Woods Drive mortgage note ($63.4 million) and the 800 North Frederick Building mortgage note ($46.4 million). On September 6, 2011, Wells REIT II settled the Manhattan Towers mortgage note by transferring the Manhattan Towers property, an office building located in Manhattan Beach, California, to an affiliate of its mortgagee through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction. As a result of this transaction, Wells REIT II recognized a property impairment loss of $5.8 million and a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million, which are included in loss on disposition of discontinued operations in the statement of operations. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and 2010, Wells REIT II also made interest payments of approximately $21.1$34.2 million and $21.2$31.8 million, respectively, including amounts capitalized of approximately $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
As

Table of June 30, 2011, Wells REIT II believes it was in compliance with the restrictive covenants on its outstanding line of credit and notes payable obligations.Contents


The estimated fair value of Wells REIT II’s notes payable as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was approximately $1,321.3$1,251.3 million and $915.9 million, respectively. Wells REIT II estimated the fair value of its line of credit by obtaining estimates for similar facilities from multiple market participants as of the respective reporting dates. Therefore, the fair values determined are considered to be based on observable market data for similar instruments (Level 2). The fair values of all other debt instruments were estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of the respective reporting dates. The discounted cash flow method of assessing fair value results in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

As of September 30, 2011, Wells REIT II believes it was in compliance with the restrictive covenants on its outstanding line of credit and notes payable obligations.
5.    Bonds Payable
5.Bonds Payable
On April 4, 2011, Wells REIT II sold $250.0 million of its 7-year, unsecured 5.875% senior notes at 99.295 percent of their face valuevalue. These notes, and the equivalent notes issued in exchange therefor (as described below), are referred to as the 2018 Bonds Payable (the "2018 Bonds Payable"). Wells.Wells REIT II received proceeds from the 2018 Bonds Payable, net of fees, of $246.7 million. The 2018 Bonds Payable require semi-annual interest payments each in April and October based on a contractual annual interest rate of 5.875%, which is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, the 2018 Bonds Payable are shown net of the initial issuance discount of approximately $1.8 million, which is amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2018 Bonds Payable using the effective interest method. The principal amount of the 2018 Bonds Payable is due and payable on the maturity date. No interest payments were made on the 2018 Bonds Payable during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011.
The restrictive covenants on the 2018 Bonds Payable as defined pursuant to an indenture (the "Indenture") include:
limits to Wells REIT II's ability to merge or consolidate with another entity or transfer all or substantially all of Wells REIT II’s property and assets, subject to important exceptions and qualifications;
limitsa limitation on the ratio of debt to total assets, as defined, to 60%;
limits to Wells REIT II's ability to incur debt if the consolidated income available for debt service to annual debt service charge, as defined, for four previous consecutive fiscal quarters to beis less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis;
limits to Wells REIT II's ability to incur liens if, on an aggregate basis for Wells REIT II, the secured debt amount would exceed 40% of the value of the total assets; and
requiresa requirement that the ratio of unencumbered asset value, as defined, to total unsecured debt be at least 150% at all times.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, Wells REIT II believes it was in compliance with the restrictive covenants on its 2018 Bonds Payable.
The 2018 Bonds Payable were originally issued through a private offering. On September 12, 2011, Wells OP II completed its offer to exchange the 2018 Bonds Payable, for equivalent bonds issued in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The estimated fair value of Wells REIT II’s 2018 Bonds Payable as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011 was approximately $249.5$251.2 million. The fair value of the 2018 Bonds Payable was estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing as the 2018 Bonds Payable arrangements as of the respective reporting dates. The discounted cash flow method of assessing fair value results in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

Economic Dependency
Wells REIT II has engaged WREAS II and Wells Management to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT II, including asset management services, supervision of the property management and leasing of some properties owned by Wells REIT II, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT II, including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. Further, WREAS II has engaged Wells Capital to retain the use of its employees to carry out certain of the services listed above. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT II is dependent upon WREAS II, Wells Capital, and Wells Management.
WREAS II, Wells Capital, and Wells Management are owned and controlled by WREF. Historically, the operations of WREAS II, Wells Capital, and Wells Management have represented substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, Wells REIT II focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of WREAS II, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, Wells REIT II might be required to find alternative service providers.
Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by WREF’s subsidiaries based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by other WREF-sponsored real estate programs, as well as distribution income earned from equity interests in another REIT previously sponsored by Wells Capital. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, Wells REIT II has no reason to believe that WREF does not have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash flow generated from operations, cash on hand, and other investments and borrowing capacity necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

On April 4, 2011, Wells OP II generated net proceeds of $246.7 million from its sale of the 2018 Bonds Payable (see Note 5. Bonds Payable).
The 2018 Bonds Payable require semi-annual interest payments each in April and October based on a contractual annual interest rate of 5.875%. The 2018 Bonds Payable are shown net of the initial issuance discount of approximately $1.8 million on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. This discount is accreted on the effective interest method, as additional interest expense from the date of issuance through the maturity date in April 2018 of the 2018 Bonds Payable. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2018 Bonds Payable in the amount of $246.7 million were used to repay a portion of the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan ("the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan") , which was used to finance a portion of the March 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings.

Wells REIT II has evaluated subsequent events in connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and notes the following itemsitem in addition to those disclosed elsewhere in this report:

Declaration of Distributions
On August 12,November 4, 2011, Wells REIT II entered into the Amended Advisory Agreement. See Note 8 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement.
TheII's board of directors declared distributions for the fourth quarter of Wells REIT II recently approved an amendment to the SRP. As a result of the amendment, after the date on which Wells REIT II publishes an estimated per share value based in part on an estimate of the value of Wells REIT II's assets (the "Net Asset Value Publication Date"), Wells REIT II will pay 60% of the estimated per share value to effect an "Ordinary Redemption" (as defined2011 in the SRP). Prioramount of $0.125 (12.5 cents) per-share on the outstanding shares of common stock payable to the effective datestockholders of the amendmentrecord as of the SRP, Ordinary Redemptions will continue to be effected at 60% of the price at which the share was originally issued by Wells REIT II. The amendment was approved to ensure that Wells REIT II retains the cash necessary to fund capital expenditures and distributions. Given the low redemption price, Wells REIT II recommends that stockholders not effect Ordinary Redemptions under the SRP as amended, or as currently in effect.
The amendment does not change redemption prices for redemptions that occur within two years of a stockholder’s death or "qualifying disability" or in connection with a stockholder's (or stockholder's spouse) qualifying for federal assistance for confinement to a "long-term care facility," which redemptions will continue to be effected at the price at which the shares were originally issued (in most cases, $10.00 per share) until the Net Asset Value Publication Date, at which time such redemptionsDecember 15, 2011. These distributions will be effected at the estimated per share value.
The amendment will become effective 30 days after the filing with the SEC of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The full text of the Third Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program is filed as an exhibit to this quarterly report and the above description of the amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of the SRP.paid in December 2011.

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 our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, as well as our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

During the periods presented, we continued to receive net equity proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Third Offering (until it closed in the third quarter of 2010) and through the dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”). We have used such net equity proceeds, along with borrowings, primarily to invest in real estate assets. As a result, during the periods presented, our real

estate portfolio has grown and our real estate operating income has increased. In addition, the closing of the Third Offering has impacted our outlook on future sources of capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

After careful consideration of the size and strength of our portfolio, our board of directors decided to close our primary public equity offering effective mid-2010. As we transitioned out of our offering stage during the second half of 2010, we continued to actively manage our real estate assets and, at the same time, began to explore a variety of strategic opportunities focused on enhancing the composition of our portfolio and the total return for the REIT. In 2011, we have concentrated such exploration efforts on a strategic acquisition opportunity, managing the composition and maturities of the borrowings within our capital structure, and evaluating additional sources of future capital. To date, these efforts have culminated in the following notable events:

On March 7, 2011, we acquired the Market Square Buildings, which are located in the Capitol Hill district of Washington D.C., for approximately $603.4 million.
On April 4, 2011, we issued $250.0 million of our seven-year, investment-grade, unsecured senior bonds at 99.295 percent of their face value. The coupon interest rate of the bonds is 5.875% per annum, which is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. We used the bond proceeds to pay downrepay amounts drawn on a $300.0 million bridge loan that was used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Market Square Buildings.
On June 30, 2011, we closed on a $325.0 million mortgage secured by the Market Square Buildings, the net proceeds from which were used to pay down borrowings on the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility that were used to fund substantially all of the remaining purchase price of the Market Square Buildings.
On July 8, 2011, we closed on an amendment to the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to extend the maturity date of the line until May 2015 at more favorable terms.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that our primary source of future operating cash flows will be cash generated from the operations of our properties, equity proceeds generated from the sale of shares under our DRP, net of share redemptions, and selective borrowings. Currently, we expectto continue to use substantially all of our futurenet operating cash flows to fund distributions to stockholders. We expect to continue to use a portion of our future DRP proceeds to fund future share redemptions (subject to the limitations of our share redemption program), and to make residual DRP proceeds available to fund capital improvements required for our properties and to fund additional real estate investments.
The amount of future distributions to be paidthat we pay to our common stockholders will be largelyis determined by our board of directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated fromfunds available for distribution to common stockholders, our operating activities,financial condition, our capital expenditure requirements, our expectations of future sources of liquidity, and the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code. When evaluating funds available for stockholder distributions, we consider net cash provided by operating activities, as presented in the accompanying GAAP-basis consolidated statements of cash flows, adjusted to exclude certain costs that were incurred for the purpose of generating future earnings and our determination of near-term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, redemptions of our common stock,appreciation in value over the long term, including acquisition fees and debt repayments. Currently, we expect to use the majority of the equity proceeds raised under our DRP, net of share redemptions, to fund capital expenditures and leasing costs for our properties.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resourcesexpenses.
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of $131.0208.4 million, which consists primarily of receipts of rental payments, tenantfrom tenants for rent and reimbursements, hotel room fees, and interest income, reduced by payments for operating costs, interest expense, asset and property management fees, general and administrative expenses, and acquisition fees and expenses.  Netinterest expense. Such net cash flows from operating activities are also reduced for acquisition-related costs of $11.2 million, which costs are funded with cash generated from the sale of our common stock.. During the same period, we paid total distributions to stockholders, including $65.498.0 million reinvested in our common stock pursuant to our DRP, of $135.1202.9 million. We expect to use the majority of our future net cash flow from operating activities to fund distributions to stockholders (please refer to the “Distributions” section below for additional information).stockholders.

In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired the Market Square Buildings for approximately $603.4 million using primarily short-term borrowings. In the second quarter of 2011, we repaid these short-term borrowings with long-term, fixed rate borrowings, which includeincluded approximately $250.0 million from 7-year, unsecured bonds, and approximately $325.0 million from a 12-year mortgage secured by the Market Square Buildings. On July 8, 2011, we amended our JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to extend the maturity date until May 2015 at more favorable terms. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we also generated proceeds from the sale of common stock under our DRP, net of acquisition fees and share redemptions, of $18.8$28.1 million, the majoritya portion of which werewas used to fund capital expenditures and leasing costs for our properties.

We believe that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our current obligations as they come due. As of JulyOctober 31, 2011, we had access to the borrowing capacity under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment of $389.0$277.0 million.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Over the long term, we expect that our primary sources of capital will include operating cash flows, proceeds from our DRP, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from third-party lenders, and, if and when deemed appropriate, proceeds from strategic property sales. We expect that our primary uses of capital will continue to include stockholder distributions,distributions; redemptions of shares of our common stock under our share redemption program,program; capital expenditures, such as building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs,costs; repaying or refinancing debt, and selective property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures.
We have a policy of maintaining our debt level at no more than 50% of the cost of our assets (before depreciation) and, ideally, at significantly less than this 50% debt-to-real-estate asset ratio. This conservative leverage goal could reduce the amount of current income we can generate for our stockholders, but it also reduces their risk of loss. We believe that preserving investor capital while generating stable current income is in the best interest of our stockholders. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, our debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio was approximately 25.8%24.8%.
In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect to use substantially all future net operating cash flows to fund distributions to stockholders. We expect to use a portion of our future DRP proceeds to fund future share redemptions (subject to the limitations of our share redemption program), and to make residual DRP proceeds available to fund capital improvements required for our properties and to fund additional real estate investments.

In the second quarter of 2011, ourOur board of directors declared ahas elected to maintain the quarterly stockholder distribution rate ofat $0.125 per share (a 5.0% annualized yield on a $10.00 original share price) consistent withper-share for both the first quarter of 2011. During the second quarterthird and fourth quarters of 2011 we funded our stockholder(fourth quarter 2011 distributions with current period operating cash flows, adjusted for certain acquisition-related costs as described above.will be paid in December 2011). While operational cash flow from our properties remains strong, economic downturns in our markets or in the particular industries in which our tenants operate could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire, either of which circumstance could further adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions to stockholders. We are continuing to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions and to assess their impact on our future earnings and future distribution projections.
Debt Covenants

Results of Operations

Overview

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we owned controlling interests in 7271 office properties, which were approximately 93.2%94.3% leased, and one hotel. Our real estate operating results have increased for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to acquiring properties in 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011. In the near term, we expect future real estate operating income to continue to increase as compared to prior-year levels as a result of the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings for approximately $603.4 million in March of 2011.
Comparison of the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 versus the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011

Continuing Operations

Rental income increased from $111.1112.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $122.4120.9 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed intoin service during 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Absent changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, rental income is expected to remain at similar levels in future periods.
Tenant reimbursements and property operating costs increased from $23.226.1 million and $41.142.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $24.927.5 million and $45.545.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in service during 2010 and in the first three months of 2011. Absent changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, future tenant reimbursement fluctuations are generally expected to correspond with future property operating cost reimbursements.
Hotel income, net of hotel operating costs, increased slightly from $0.81.0 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $0.91.3 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. Hotel income and hotel operating costs are primarily driven by the local economic conditions and, as a result, are expected to fluctuate in the future primarily based on changes in the supply of, and demand for, hotel and banquet space in Cleveland, Ohio similar to that offered by the Key Center Marriott hotel.
Other property income increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to fees earned in connection with lease terminations. Future other property income fluctuations are expected to primarily relate to future lease restructuring activities.
Asset and property management fees increased from $9.49.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $10.010.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired and placed into service during 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Future asset and property management fees may fluctuate in response to property dispositions or leasing activities. Pursuant to the limitations outlined in the Advisory Agreement, monthly asset management fees were capped at $2.7 million (or $32.5 million annualized) beginning in April 2011 as a result of the March 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings for $603.4 million. Effective November 8, 2011, the date of our net asset value publication, asset management fees will be based on the lesser of (i) gross cost, as defined by the Advisory Agreement, or (ii) the aggregate value of our investment in the properties and joint ventures as established with the most recent asset-based valuation. Please refer to Note 7.8. Related-Party Transactions and


Page 35



Agreements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Acquisition fees and expenses decreasedDepreciation increased from $4.326.1 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $1.230.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the closing of the Third Offering effective June 30, 2010 and fewer acquisitions in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.Wells REIT II incurs acquisition fees equal to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds raised, including equity raised through our DRP. Please refer to Note 7. Related-Party Transactions and Agreements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details. We expect future acquisition fees and expenses to remain at similar levels in future periods.
Depreciation increased from $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $30.8 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Excluding the impact of changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, depreciation is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to ongoing capital improvements to our properties.
Amortization increased from $29.128.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $31.529.5 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Excluding the impact of changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, amortization is expected to increase in future periods due to owning new properties for a full period.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at $6.46.0 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 and $6.56.1 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011.




Page 34



Interest expense increasedAcquisition fees and expenses decreased from $22.72.1 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $31.80.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the closing of the Third Offering effective June 30, 2010 and changing the manner in which acquisition fees are incurred. Through July 31, 2011, acquisition fees were incurred at 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, subject to certain limitations; effective August 1, 2011, acquisition fees are incurred at 1% of the property purchase price (excluding acquisition expenses); however, in no event may acquisition fees cause total acquisition fees for the 2011 calendar year to exceed 2% of total gross offering proceeds. As a result of the change, we expect future acquisition fees and expenses to fluctuate based on future acquisition activity.
Interest expense increasedfrom $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $28.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to debt obtained to fund the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011. Future interest expense will depend largely upon changes in market interest rates and our ability to secure financings or refinancings.
Interest and other income decreased slightly from $10.111.9 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $10.010.3 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011., primarily due to recovering a tax payment made in connection with a prior-period acquisition in 2010. Interest income is expected to remain relatively consistent in future periods given that the majority of this activity consists of interest income earned on investments in development authority bonds, which had a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 6.15.9 years as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011. Interest income earned on investments in development authority bonds is entirely offset by interest expense incurred on the corresponding capital leases.
We recognized a loss on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment of $14.39.9 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, compared with a loss of $7.514.8 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. We anticipate that future gains and losses on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment will fluctuate, primarily due to changes in the estimated fair values of our interest rate swaps relative to then-current market conditions. Market value adjustments to swaps that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded directly to equity, and therefore do not impact net income (loss).
We recognized net lossincome attributable to Wells REIT II of $6.94.7 million ($(0.01)0.01 per share) for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to a net lossincome of $4.55.1 million ($(0.01)0.01 per share) for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. The increase in earnings is primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Absent future fluctuations in the market value of our interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, we expect future net income to remain at a level similar to the secondthird quarter 2011 in future periods. Should the decline in the U.S. economy or U.S. real estate markets continue for a prolonged period of time, the creditworthiness of our tenants and our ability to achieve market rents comparable to the leases currently in place at our properties may suffer and could lead to a decline in net income over the long term.

In the third quarter of 2011, we transferred the Manhattan Towers property, an office building located in Manhattan Beach, California, to an affiliate of its lender in connection with settling a $75.0 million mortgage note through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction. As a result, we recognized a property impairment loss of $5.8 million and a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million, which are included in gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations in the statement of operations. In the third quarter of 2010, we sold New Manchester One, an industrial property located in Douglasville, Georgia, for net proceeds of $15.3 million, andwhich resulted in a loss on sale of $0.2 million. In accordance with GAAP, we have classified the results of operations related to Manhattan Towers and New Manchester One as discontinued operations for all periods presented. LossAs a result, earnings from discontinued operations decreasedincreased from a loss of $(0.2)(0.8) million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to a gain of $(32.0) thousand6.6 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, as a result due to disposing of the sale of the propertyManhattan Towers in the third quarter of 2010 and the loss recognized on the sale2011.

Comparison of the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 versus the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011

Continuing Operations

Rental income increased from $218.9327.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $237.2357.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed intoin service during 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Absent changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, rental income is expected to remain at similar levels in future periods.
Tenant reimbursements and property operating costs increased from $46.671.7 million and $81.8122.8 million, respectively, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $51.178.5 million and $88.8133.1 million, respectively, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in service during 2010 and in the first three months of 2011. Absent changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, future tenant reimbursement fluctuations are generally expected to correspond with future property operating cost reimbursements.
Hotel income, net of hotel operating costs, increased from approximately $0.92.0 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $1.12.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. Hotel income and hotel operating costs are primarily driven by the local economic conditions and, as a result, are expected to fluctuate in the future primarily based on changes in the supply of, and demand for, hotel and banquet space in Cleveland, Ohio similar to that offered by the Key Center Marriott hotel.
Other property income increased from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to fees earned in connection with lease terminations. Fluctuations in other property income in the future are expected to primarily relate to future lease restructuring activities.
Asset and property management fees increased from $18.727.9 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $19.729.9 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired and placed into service during 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Future asset and property management fees may fluctuate in response to property dispositions or leasing activities. Pursuant to the limitations outlined in the Advisory Agreement, monthly asset management fees were capped at $2.7 million (or $32.5 million annualized) beginning in April 2011 as a result of the March 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings for $603.4 million. Effective November 8, 2011, the date of our net asset value publication, asset management fees will be based on the lesser of (i) gross cost, as defined by the Advisory Agreement, or (ii) the aggregate value of our investment in the properties and joint ventures as established with the most recent asset-based valuation. Please refer to Note 7.8. Related-Party Transactions and Agreements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Acquisition fees and expensesDepreciation increased from $7.773.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $11.288.3 million for the sixnine months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011. Wells REIT II incurs acquisition fees equal to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds raised, including equity raised through our DRP. Please refer to Note 7. Related-Party Transactions and Agreements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details. We expect future acquisition fees and expenses to decrease as a result of terminating the Third Offering effective June 30, 2010.
Depreciation increased from $48.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $58.9 million for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Excluding the impact of changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, depreciation is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to ongoing capital improvements to our properties.
Amortization increased from $58.385.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $61.991.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and the first three months of 2011. Excluding the impact of changes to the leases currently in place at our properties, amortization is expected to increase in future periods due to owning new properties for a full period.
General and administrative expenses increased from $12.418.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $13.119.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to an early lease termination at one of our properties.
Interest expenseAcquisition fees and expenses increased slightly from $44.99.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $55.011.2 million for the sixnine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011, partially offset by the impact of closing the Third Offering effective June 30, 2010. Through July 31, 2011, acquisition fees were incurred at 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, subject to certain limitations; effective August 1, 2011, acquisition fees are incurred at 1% of the property purchase price (excluding acquisition expenses); however, in no event may acquisition fees cause total acquisition fees for the 2011 calendar year to exceed 2% of total gross offering proceeds. As a result of the change, we expect future acquisition fees and expenses to fluctuate based on future acquisition activity.
Interest expense increased from $64.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $81.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to debt obtained to fund the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011 including the offering of bonds in April 2011. Future interest expense will depend largely upon changes in market interest rates and our ability to secure financings or refinancings.

Interest and other income increased from $20.132.0 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to $22.132.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, primarily due to settling litigation related to a prospective acquisition that did not close. Interest income is expected to remain relatively consistent in future periods given that the majority of this activity consists of interest income earned on investments in development authority bonds, which had a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 6.15.9 years as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011. Interest income earned on investments in development authority bonds is entirely offset by interest expense incurred on the corresponding capital leases.
We recognized a loss on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment of $19.229.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, compared with a loss of $7.422.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. We anticipate that future gains and losses on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment will fluctuate, primarily due to changes in the estimated fair values of our interest rate swaps relative to then-current market conditions. Market value adjustments to swaps that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded directly to equity, and therefore do not impact net income (loss).
We recognized net lossincome attributable to Wells REIT II of $4.4 million ($(0.01) per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $2.10.3 million ($0.00 per share) for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to a net income of $3.0 million ($0.01 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to changesgrowth in our portfolio in 2010 and 2011, increasing the percentage of borrowings used in our capital structure, and fluctuations in the estimated fair valuesmarket value of certain of our interest rate swaps partially offset by higher interest expense due to debt obtained to fund the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011.swap agreements. Absent future fluctuations in the market value of our interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, we expect future net income to remain at a level similar to the secondthird quarter 2011 in future periods. Should the decline in the U.S. economy or U.S. real estate markets continue for a prolonged period of time, the creditworthiness of our tenants and our ability to achieve market rents comparable to the leases currently in place at our properties may suffer and could lead to a decline in net income over the long term.
Discontinued Operations

In the third quarter of 2011, we transferred the Manhattan Towers property, an office building located in Manhattan Beach, California, to an affiliate of its lender in connection with settling a $75.0 million mortgage note through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction. As a result, we recognized a property impairment loss of $5.8 million and a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million, which are included in gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations in the statement of operations. In the third quarter of 2010, we sold New Manchester One, an industrial property located in Douglasville, Georgia, for net proceeds of $15.3 million, andwhich resulted in a loss on sale of $0.2 million. In accordance with GAAP, we have classified the results of operations related to Manhattan Towers and New Manchester One as discontinued operations for all periods presented. LossAs a result, earnings from discontinued operations decreasedincreased from a loss of $0.52.3 million million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 to a lossgain of $70.0 thousand3.1 million million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011.
Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations
Funds from Operations, as defined by NAREIT (“FFO”), is a non-GAAP financial measure considered by some equity REITs in evaluating operating performance. FFO is computed as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: extraordinary items, gains (or losses) from property sales (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for earnings allocated to noncontrolling interests in consolidated partnerships.  We believe it is useful to consider GAAP net income, adjusted to exclude the above-mentioned items, when assessing our performance because excluding the above-described adjustments highlights the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be readily apparent from GAAP net income alone. We do not, however, believe that FFO is the best measure of the sustainability of our operating performance. Changes in the GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put into effect after the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO in 1999 are resulting in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of our operating performance (e.g. acquisition expenses, market value adjustments to interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and amortization of certain in-place lease intangible assets and liabilities, among others). Therefore, in addition to FFO, we present FFO, adjusted ("AFFO") to exclude the income and expenses that we believe are not reflective of the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance, as further explained below:
Additional amortization of lease assets (liabilities). GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets (liabilities) diminishes predictably over time and, thus, requires these charges to be recognized ratably over the respective lease terms. Like real estate values, market lease rates in aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions. As a result, management believes that, by excluding these charges, AFFO provides useful supplemental information that is reflective of the saleperformance of our real estate investments that is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operations.
Straight-line rental income. In accordance with GAAP, rental payments are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the property inrespective leases. Thus, for any given period, straight-line rental income represents the third quarter of 2010difference between the contractual rental billings for that period and the loss recognized onaverage rental billings over the salelease term for the same length of this property.time.



Page 3638



This application results in income recognition that can differ significantly from the current contract terms. By adjusting for this item, we believe AFFO provides useful supplemental information reflective of the realized economic impact of our leases that is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance.
Loss on interest rate swaps and remeasurement of loss on foreign currency. These items relate to fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations, underlying market conditions and the performance of the specific holding, which is not attributable to our current operating performance. By adjusting for this item, we believe that AFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals (rather than anticipated gains or losses that may never be realized) that is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operations.
Noncash interest expense. This item represents amortization of financing costs paid in connection with executing our debt instruments, and the accretion of premiums (and amortization of discounts) on certain of our debt instruments.  GAAP requires these items to be recognized over the remaining term of the respective debt instrument, which may not correlate with the ongoing operations of our real estate portfolio. By excluding these items, management believes that AFFO provides supplemental information that allows for better comparability of reporting periods and that is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operations.
Impairment loss on real estate assets and gain on early extinguishment of debt on discontinued operations. These adjustments are not related to our continuing operations as we are not in the business of trading real properties for short-term gains. Removing the impact of these items from AFFO provides a better indication of the sustainability of operating performance.
Real estate acquisition-related costs. Acquisition expenses are incurred for investment purposes (i.e., to promote portfolio appreciation and generation of future earnings over the long term) and, therefore, do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our portfolio. We believe that excluding these items from AFFO provides supplemental information indicative of the sustainability of our operations. This exclusion also improves comparability of our reporting periods and of our company with other real estate operators.

Distributions

The amount of distributions that we pay to our common stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent upon a number of factors, including the funds available for distribution to common stockholders, our financial condition, our capital expenditure requirements, our expectations of future sources of liquidity and the annual distribution requirements necessary to maintain our status as a REIT under the Code.
Since inception, our cash management policy has called for quarterly stockholder distributions to be principally funded with operational cash flows over the long-term. When evaluating funds available for stockholder distributions, we consider net cash provided by operating activities (as defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and presented in the accompanying GAAP-basis consolidated statements of cash flows), adjusted to exclude certain costs that were incurred for the purpose of generating future earnings and appreciation in value over the long term, including acquisition costs. As provided in the prospectuses for our public offerings of common stock, acquisition-related costs have been and are expected to continue to be funded with cash generated from the sale of common stock and, therefore, are not expected to be funded with cash generated from operations.

We paid total distributions to stockholders, including $65.4 million reinvested in our common stock pursuant to our DRP, of $135.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the same period, net cash provided by operating activities was $131.0 million, and acquisition-related costs, which were funded with cash generated from the sale of our common stock but which under GAAP reduce net cash provided by operating activities, was $11.2 million.
In the first quarter of 2011, our board of directors elected to reduce the quarterly stockholder distribution rate from $0.15 per share (a 6.0% annualized yield on a $10.00 original share price) to $0.125 per share (a 5.0% annualized yield on a $10.00 original share price) primarily due to economic conditions in the U.S. and deterioration in real estate market fundamentals. While operational cash flow from our properties remains strong, economic downturns in our markets or in the particular industries in which our tenants operate, could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire, either of which circumstance could further adversely affect our ability to fund future distributions to stockholders. We are continuing to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions and to assess their impact on our future earnings and future distribution projections.
Election as a REIT
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our stockholders, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Wells TRS and Wells KCP TRS are wholly owned subsidiarysubsidiaries of Wells REIT II and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies and includesinclude the operations of, among other things, a full-service hotel. We have elected to treat Wells TRS and Wells KCP TRS as taxable REIT subsidiaries. We may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of our buildings through Wells TRS or Wells KCP TRS; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, we must limit our investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries to 25% of the value of our total assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than the provision relating to Wells TRS, as we made distributions in excess of taxable income for the periods presented. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to property operations in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that are intended to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of


Page 37



inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through 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. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not reset frequently enough to fully cover inflation.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Investment in Real Estate Assets

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:
 Buildings  40 years
 Building improvements  5-25 years
 Site improvements  15 years
 Tenant improvements  Shorter of economic life or lease term
 Intangible lease assets  Lease term

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets (liabilities) may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying values, we adjust the carrying value of the real estate assets and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognize an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, in order of preference, depending upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets and related intangible assets (liabilities), as defined above, to date; however, certainCertain of our assets may be carried at more than an amount that could be realized in a current disposition transaction.
During the third quarter of 2011, we evaluated the recoverability of the carrying value of the Manhattan Towers property and determined that it was not recoverable, as defined by the accounting policy outlined above. The Manhattan Towers property is located in Manhattan Beach, California, and includes two office buildings with total occupancy of 22%. In the third quarter of 2011, upon considering the economic impact of various property disposition scenarios not previously contemplated, including the likelihood of achieving the projected returns associated with each scenario, we opted to transfer the Manhattan Towers property to an affiliate of the lender in full settlement of a $75.0 million nonrecourse mortgage loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction, which closed on September 6, 2011. As a result of this transaction, Wells REIT II reduced the carrying value of the Manhattan Towers property to its fair value, estimated based on the present value of estimated future property cash flows, by recognizing a property impairment loss of approximately $5.8 million, and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million. The gain on early extinguishment of debt, net of the property impairment loss, is reflected as gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations in the statement of operations.

The fair value measurements used in this evaluation of nonfinancial assets are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy outlined in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our accompanying consolidated financial statements, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examples of inputs that were utilized in the fair value calculations include estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, and sales prices. The table below represents the detail of the adjustments recognized quarter and year to date as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands) using Level 3 inputs.

Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate assets and related intangible assets and net income (loss).
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of properties to tangible assets, consisting of land and building, site improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases, based in each case on our estimate of their fair values.




Page 38



The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on our determination of the relative fair value of these assets. We determine the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related costs. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising from In-Place Leases where We are the Lessor
As further described below, in-place leases where we are the lessor may have values related to direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, tenant relationships, and effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates:
Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, including commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs, are estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. Such direct costs are included in intangible lease origination costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The value of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals avoided by acquiring an in-place lease is calculated based on the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Such opportunity costs are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The value of tenant relationships is calculated based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. Values associated with tenant relationships are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The value of effective rental rates of in-place leases that are above or below the market rates of comparable leases is calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

Evaluating the Recoverability of Intangible Assets and Liabilities

The values of intangible lease assets and liabilities are determined based on assumptions made at the time of acquisition and have defined useful lives, which correspond with the lease terms. There may be instances in which intangible lease assets and liabilities become impaired and we are required to write-off the remaining asset or liability immediately or over a shorter period of time. Lease restructurings, including lease terminations and lease extensions, may impact the value and useful life of in-place leases. In-place leases that are terminated, partially terminated, or modified will be evaluated for impairment if the original in-place lease terms have been modified. In the event that the discounted cash flows of the original in-place lease stream do not exceed the discounted modified in-place lease stream, we adjust the carrying value of the intangible lease assets to the discounted cash flows and recognize an impairment loss. For in-place lease extensions that are executed more than one year prior to the original in-place lease expiration date, the useful life of the in-place lease will be extended over the new lease term with the exception of those in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, which have been renegotiated for the extended term. Renegotiated in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, will be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the new lease term.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising from In-Place Leases where We are the Lessee

In-place ground leases where we are the lessee may have value associated with effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates. Such values are calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as intangible lease liabilities or assets and amortized as an adjustment to property operating cost over the remaining term of the respective leases. Wells REIT II had gross below-market lease assets of approximately $110.7 million and $110.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and recognized amortization of these assets of approximately $1.0$1.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Related Parties

Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor, WREAS II, and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to WREAS II or its affiliates, for acquisition fees, commissions, dealer-manager fees, asset and property management fees, construction fees, reimbursement of other offering costs, and reimbursement of operating costs. See Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements, and fees.
Assertion of Legal Action Against Related-Parties
On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (“Piedmont REIT”) filed a putative class action and derivative complaint, presently styled In re Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against, among others, Piedmont REIT; Leo F. Wells, III, the Chairman of our Board of Directors; Wells Capital; Wells Management, our property manager; certain affiliates of WREF; the directors of Piedmont REIT; and certain individuals who formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT prior to the closing of the internalization transaction on April 16, 2007.
The complaint alleged, among other things, violations of the federal proxy rules and breaches of fiduciary duty arising from the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction and the related proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, as amended. The complaint sought, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and nullification of the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction.
On June 27, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which attempted to assert class action claims on behalf of those persons who received and were entitled to vote on the Piedmont REIT proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, and derivative claims on behalf of Piedmont REIT.

On March 31, 2008, the Court granted in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court dismissed five of the seven counts of the amended complaint in their entirety. The Court dismissed the remaining two counts with the exception of allegations regarding the failure to disclose in the Piedmont REIT proxy statement details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. On April 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which alleges violations of the federal proxy rules based upon allegations that the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction omitted details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, to nullify and rescind the internalization transaction, and to cancel and rescind any stock issued to the defendants as consideration for the internalization transaction. On May 12, 2008, the defendants answered and raised certain defenses to the second amended complaint.
On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On September 16, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification. On September 20, 2009, the defendants filed a petition for permission to appeal immediately the Court’s order granting the motion for class certification with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition for permission to appeal was denied on October 30, 2009.
On April 13, 2009, the plaintiff moved for leave to amend the second amended complaint to add additional defendants. The Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend on June 23, 2009.

On December 4, 2009, the parties filed motions for summary judgment. On August 2, 2010, the Court entered an order denying the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and granting, in part, the plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment. The Court ruled that the question of whether certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT constituted “material” information required to be disclosed in the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction raises questions of fact that must be determined at trial. A trial date has not been set.
Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management believe that the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend this action. Any financial loss incurred by Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates could hinder their ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated subsequent events in connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and note the following items in addition to those disclosed elsewhere in this report:
Determination of Estimated Per-Share Value

Overview
On August 12,November 8, 2011, Wells REIT II announced an estimated per-share value of our common stock equal to $7.47 per share, calculated as of September 30, 2011. This estimate is being provided to assist broker/dealers in connection with their obligations under applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rules with respect to customer account statements and to assist fiduciaries in discharging their obligations under Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) reporting requirements. 
Valuation Methodology
Summary:
In arriving at this estimate, which was determined as of September 30, 2011, we entered intofirst engaged Altus Group U.S., Inc., a third-party commercial real estate valuation firm (“Altus”), to appraise our assets, both real estate and other assets, to estimate the Amended Advisory Agreement.fair value of our liabilities, and to use those estimates to calculate an estimated fair value of our shares. The Amended Advisory Agreementengagement of Altus was approved by the asset management committee of our board of directors, which committee is effectivecomposed only of directors who are not affiliated with our advisor. Altus's analyses, opinions, and conclusions were developed in conformity with the Code of Professional Ethics and the Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute and in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Altus appraised each of our real estate assets individually, and the asset management committee of our board and our advisor reviewed these analyses and conclusions.
Altus worked with our advisor and the asset management committee of our board of directors to gather information regarding our assets and liabilities. On November 3, 2011, Altus delivered a final report to our advisor, who shared the report with the asset management committee of our board of directors. At a subsequent meeting of our board of directors, our advisor presented the report and recommended an estimated per-share value. Our board of directors considered all information provided in light of its own extensive familiarity with our assets and, upon the recommendation of our asset management committee, unanimously agreed upon an estimated value of $7.47 per share, which is consistent with both the advisor's recommendation and Altus's estimate.
Our estimated per-share value was calculated by aggregating the value of our real estate and other assets, subtracting the fair value of our liabilities, and dividing the total by the number of our common shares outstanding, all as of August 1, 2011 and runs through December 31,September 30, 2011. The Amended Advisory Agreement haspotential dilutive effect of our common stock equivalents does not impact our estimated per-share value. Our estimated share value is the same terms as our net asset value. It does not reflect "enterprise value," which includes a premium for:
the priorlarge size of our portfolio, although it may be true that some buyers are willing to pay more for a large portfolio than they are willing to pay for each property in the portfolio separately;
our rights under our advisory agreement exceptand our potential ability to secure the services of a management team on a long-term basis; or
the potential increase in our share value if we were to list our shares on a national securities exchange.
Our key objectives are to arrive at an estimated per-share value that is supported by methodologies and assumptions that are appropriate based on our current circumstances and calculated using processes and procedures that may be repeated in future

periods. Wells REIT II believes that this approach reflects the conservative investment principles that guided the assembly of our portfolio over the past eight years, and comports with industry-standard valuation methodologies used for nontraded real estate companies.

Details:
As of September 30, 2011, our estimated per-share value was calculated as follows:

Real estate assets$10.13
(1)
Debt(2.65)(2)
Other(0.01)(3)
Estimated net asset value per-share value$7.47
 
Estimated enterprise value premiumNone assumed
 
Total estimated per-share value$7.47
 
(1)
Our real estate assets were appraised using valuation methods that we believe are typically used by investors for properties that are similar to ours, including capitalization of the net property operating income, 10-year discounted cash flow models, and comparison with sales of similar properties.  Primary emphasis was placed on the discounted cash flow analysis, with the other approaches used to confirm the reasonableness of the value conclusion. Using this methodology, the appraised value of our real estate assets reflects an overall decline from original purchase price, exclusive of acquisition costs, plus post-acquisition capital investments, of 8.1%.  We believe that the assumptions employed in the valuation are within the ranges used for properties that are similar to ours and held by investors with similar expectations to our investors.
The following are the key assumptions (shown on a weighted-average basis) that are used in the discounted cash flow models to estimate the value of our real estate assets:

Exit capitalization rate7.19%
Discount rate/internal rate of return ("IRR")8.19%
Annual market rent growth rate3.31%
Annual holding period10.3 years

While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our real estate assets.  For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, a change in the weighted-average annual discount rate/IRR of 0.25% would yield a change in our total real estate asset value of 1.83%.
(2)
The fair value of our debt instruments was estimated using discounted cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions that we believe reflect the terms currently available on similar borrowing arrangements to borrowers with credit profiles similar to ours.
(3)
The fair value of our non-real estate assets and liabilities is estimated to materially reflect book value given their typically short-term (less than 1 year) settlement periods.

Our estimated per-share value as of September 30, 2011 ($7.47) has been adversely affected by volatility in real estate markets and the current tepid outlook on office sector rents and pricing expectations. Nevertheless, our portfolio is leased largely to creditworthy tenants with long-term leases and we do not foresee any short-term impact on our distribution rate caused by current pricing weakness in this economy. Throughout the economic downturn experienced over the last three years, our portfolio occupancy has remained high (above 90%) and leverage has remained low (around 25% or less).
We plan to update the estimated per-share value on an intended reductionannual basis.
Limitations and Risks
As with any valuation methodology, our methodology is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete (see footnotes in acquisition feesabove Valuation Methodology section).  Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a reductiondifferent estimated per-share value.  Accordingly, with respect to our estimated per-share value, we can provide no assurance that:



Page 46

Table of Contents


a stockholder would be able to realize this estimated value per share upon attempting to resell his or her shares;
we would be able to achieve, for our stockholders, the estimated value per share, upon a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, selling our real estate portfolio, or merging with another company; or
the estimated share value, or the methodologies relied upon to estimate the share value, will be found by any regulatory authority to comply with FINRA, ERISA, or any other regulatory requirements.
Furthermore, the estimated value of our shares was calculated as of a particular point in time. The value of our shares will fluctuate over time in response to, among other things, changes in real estate market fundamentals, capital markets activities, and attributes specific to the properties and leases within our portfolio.
Share Redemption Program Share Price
Effective November 8, 2011, the price paid for shares redeemed under the SRP in cases of death, disability, or qualification for federal assistance for confinement to a long-term care facility (i.e. a nursing home), will change from 100% of the price at which we issued the share (typically, $10.00) to 100% of the estimated per-share value ($7.47); and the price paid for all other redemptions (“Ordinary Redemptions”) will change from 60% of the price at which we issued the share (typically, $6.00) to $5.50. See Part II. Item 2. "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" for information regarding the amendment to our SRP that sets this price for Ordinary Redemptions, effective upon the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan Share Price
Effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, the price at which investors may purchase shares under the DRP will change from $9.55 to 95.5% of the estimated per-share value (or, $7.13).
Declaration of Distributions
On November 4, 2011, our board of directors declared distributions for the fourth quarter of 2011 in the amount of certain reimbursements$0.125 (12.5 cents) per share on the outstanding shares of common stock payable to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2011. The distributions will be made to our advisor. See Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement.

paid in December 2011.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a result of our debt facilities, we are exposed to interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flow primarily through a low to moderate level of overall borrowings. However, we currently have a substantial amount of debt outstanding. We manage our ratio of fixed- to floating-rate debt with the objective of achieving a mix that we believe is appropriate in light of anticipated changes in interest rates. We closely monitor interest rates and will continue to consider the sources and terms of our borrowing facilities to determine whether we have appropriately guarded ourselves against the risk of increasing interest rates in future periods.
Additionally, we have entered into interest rate swaps, and may enter into other interest rate swaps, caps, or other arrangements to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes; however, certain of our derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. All of our debt was entered into for other-than-trading purposes.
On March 7, 2011, we executed the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Market Square Buildings. Under the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan, interest is incurred based on, at our option, LIBOR for one-, two-, or three-month periods, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% (the “Bridge LIBOR Rate”), or at an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin of 1.25% (the “Bridge Base Rate”). The Bridge Base Rate for any day is the greatest of (1) the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect in its principal office in New York City for such day, (2) the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50%, or (3) the one-month LIBOR Rate for such day plus 1.00%. Should any unpaid principal remain outstanding on theThe JPMorgan Chase Bridge Facility as of June 5, 2011, we would incur an additional duration fee equal to 0.25% of the principal outstanding on the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Facility at that time. Under the terms of the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan accrued interestwas fully repaid on Bridge Base Rate loans is payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month. The accrued interest on Bridge LIBOR Rate loans is payable on the last day of each one-, two-, or three-month interest period. We are required to repay outstanding principal and accrued interest six months after the respective funding dates. All such borrowings shall be prepaid with (a) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or other dispositions of properties, (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances, offerings, or placements of debt obligations, and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of issuances of equity securities. We may also prepay all or part of the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan at any time subject to, in the case of LIBOR

borrowings, payment for any loss, cost or expense incurred by lender as a result of prepayment before the end of the chosen LIBOR interest period. On June 3, 2011, we fully repaid the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan with proceeds from the JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Facility.2011.
On April 4, 2011, we sold $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% unsecured senior notes due in 2018 at 99.295 percent of their face value in a private placement offering. Two rating agencies have assigned investment-grade ratings to these senior notes. We received proceeds from this bond offering, net of fees, of $246.7 million, all of which were used to reduce amounts outstanding on the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan.

On June 30, 2011, we entered into a loan transaction (the “Market Square mortgage note”) with Pacific Life Insurance Company, in the principal amount of $325.0 million. Substantially all of the net proceeds advanced under the Market Square Loan were used to repay amounts outstanding under the $500.0 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank entered into on May 7,

2010 (the "JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility"). We used borrowings under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to fund a portion of the March 7, 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings. The Market Square mortgage note, which requires interest-only monthly payments matures on July 1, 2023 and bears interest at an annual rate of 5.07%. We have the right to prepay the outstanding amount in full provided that (i) 30 days' prior written notice of the intent to prepay is provided to the lender and (ii) a prepayment premium is paid to the lender. If the prepayment is made before July 1, 2013, the prepayment premium is equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) 1.0% of the outstanding principal or (b) the yield loss amount plus (ii) 3.0% of the outstanding principal. If the prepayment is made on or after July 1, 2013 but before April 1, 2023, the prepayment premium is equal to the greater of (i) 1.0% of the outstanding principal or (ii) the yield loss amount. No prepayment premium need be paid if the prepayment is made on or after April 1, 2023.

On July 8, 2011, we entered an amendment to the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility (the “JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Facility to May 7, 2015, (ii) enable us to increase the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility amount by an aggregate of up to $150.0 million to a total facility amount not to exceed $650.0 million on two occasions on or before December 7, 2014, upon meeting certain criteria, and (iii) reduce the interest rate and the facility fee as described below. Except as noted above and described below, the terms of the Facility remain materially unchanged by the amendment.

The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment provides for interest costs to be incurred based on, at our option, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for one, two, three or six month periods, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.05% (the “LIBOR Rate”) or at the alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.05% (the “Base Rate”). The alternate base rate for any day is the greatest of the rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate in effect in its principal office in New York City for such day, the federal funds rate for such day plus 0.50%, and the one-month LIBOR Rate for such day plus 1.00%. The margin component of the LIBOR Rate and the Base Rate is based on our applicable credit rating (as defined in the Facility agreement). Additionally, we must pay a per annum facility fee on the aggregate revolving commitment (used or unused) ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% based on our applicable credit rating.
On September 6, 2011, Wells REIT II settled the Manhattan Towers mortgage note by transferring the Manhattan Towers property, an office building located in Manhattan Beach, California, to an affiliate of its mortgagee through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction. As a result of this transaction, Wells REIT II recognized a property impairment loss of $5.8 million and a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, Wells REIT II used cash on hand and proceeds from the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to fully repay the Cranberry Woods Drive mortgage note ($63.4 million) and the 800 North Frederick Building mortgage note ($46.4 million) without incurring prepayment penalties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, Wells REIT II also made interest payments of approximately $34.2 million and $31.8 million, respectively, including amounts capitalized of approximately $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Our financial instruments consist of both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. Our variable-rate borrowings consist of the JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Facility, the JPMorgan Bridge Loan, the Cranberry Woods Drive mortgage note, the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note, the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note, and the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note. However, only the JPMorgan Chase Credit Revolving Facility and the JPMorgan Chase Bridge Loan and the Cranberry Woods Drive mortgage note bear interest at an effectively variable rate, as the variable rates on the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note, the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note, and the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note have been effectively fixed through the interest rate swap agreements described below. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we had $121.0$220.5 million outstanding under the JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Facility; $63.4$173.0 million outstanding on the Cranberry Woods Drive variable-rate, term mortgage loan; $169.8 million outstanding on the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note; $62.9$64.0 million outstanding on the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note; $25.9$25.9 million outstanding on the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note; $248.3 million in 5.875% bonds outstanding; and $833.5$711.6 million outstanding on fixed-rate, term mortgage loans. The weighted-average interest rate of all of our debt instruments was 5.46%5.44% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011.
The 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note was used to purchase the 80 Park Plaza Building. The note bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 130 basis points (approximately 1.49%1.52% per annum as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011) and matures in September 2016. In connection with obtaining the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to changing interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement has an effective date of September 22, 2006 and matures September 21, 2016. The terms of the interest rate swap agreement effectively fix our interest rate on the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note at 6.575% per annum.
The 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note was used to purchase the 222 E. 41st Street Building. The note bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 120 basis points (approximately 1.39%1.42% per annum as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011) and matures in August 2017. In

connection with obtaining the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to changing interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement has an effective date of August 16, 2007 and matures

6.675% per annum.
The Three Glenlake Building mortgage note was used to purchase the Three Glenlake Building. The note bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 90 basis points (approximately 1.09%1.12% per annum as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011), and matures in July 2013. The interest rate swap agreement has an effective date of July 31, 2008 and matures July 31, 2013. Interest is due monthly; however, under the terms of the loan agreement, a portion of the monthly debt service amounts accrues and is added to the outstanding balance of the note over the term. The interest rate swap effectively fixes our interest rate on the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note at 5.95% per annum.
Approximately $1,340.4$1,222.9 million of our total debt outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011 is subject to fixed rates, either directly or when coupled with an interest rate swap agreement. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, these balances incurred interest expense at an average interest rate of 5.59%5.63% and have expirations ranging from 2011 through 2023. A change in the market interest rate impacts the net financial instrument position of our fixed-rate debt portfolio; however, it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. The amounts outstanding on our variable-rate debt facilities in the future will largely depend upon the level of investor proceeds raised under our DRP and the rate at which we are able to employ such proceeds in acquisitions of real properties.
We do not believe there is any exposure to increases in interest rates related to the capital lease obligations of $646.0 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, as the obligations are at fixed interest rates.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are also subject to foreign exchange risk arising from our foreign operations in Russia. Foreign operations represented 1.9% and 2.0% of total assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and 0.5%0.6% and 0.0%0.7% of total revenue for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As compared to rates in effect at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, an increase or decrease in the U.S. dollar to Russian rouble exchange rate by 10% would not materially impact the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
The following risk factor should be read together withThere have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed under Item 1A.in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes a comprehensive discussion of some risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements.2010.


Thecurrent offering price

Page 49

Table of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan likely exceeds the price at which we are likely to offer shares under our dividend reinvestment plan in the near future.Contents

As previously disclosed, we intend to conduct a valuation of a share of our common stock and to publish the estimated value by December 31, 2011. We have engaged a third-party real estate appraisal firm to estimate the value of our net assets as of September 30, 2011. After reporting the per share estimated value, the purchase price of the shares of common stock offered under our dividend reinvestment plan will be equal to 95.5% of the per share estimated value. Due largely to the deterioration in real estate market fundamentals during the ongoing economic crisis, we expect that the estimated value per share of our common stock at September 30, 2011 will be less than $9.55 per share, which is the price currently paid for shares issued under our dividend reinvestment plan. We expect the new purchase price of shares of common stock offered under our dividend reinvestment plan to be in effect beginning with stockholder distributions declared for the fourth quarter of 2011.

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a)
All equity securities sold by us in the quarternine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 were sold in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 with the following exception:

Effective June 30, 2011, we issued 20,000 shares to Wells Capital, Inc. in exchange for 20,000 units of Wells OP II. As a result of the transaction, Wells OP II is now indirectly wholly owned by us. As part of the transaction, we also agreed to reimburse Wells Capital an amount equal to the state and federal income tax liability (if any) that Wells Capital incurs as a result of the exchange, with such payment to be grossed up to include any state or federal income taxes imposed upon Wells Capital as a result of its receipt of any of the reimbursement. The exchange transaction was effected without registration under the securities laws in reliance on the private offering exemption set forth at Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the purchaser is an accredited investor and no general solicitation was involved in connection with the transaction.

(b)Not applicable.

During the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we redeemed all of the shares eligible and properly submitted for redemption prior to the redemption payment date in June.
(1) 
All purchases of our equity securities by us in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, were made pursuant to our SRP.
(2) 
We announced the commencement of the program on December 10, 2003 and amendments to the program on April 22, 2004; March 28, 2006; May 11, 2006; August 10, 2006; August 8, 2007; November 13, 2008; March 31, 2009; August 13, 2009; February 18, 2010; July 21, 2010; September 23, 2010; and July 19, 2011; and August 12, 2011. Further amendments are announced in this quarterly report.
(3) 
We currently limit the dollar value and number of shares that may yet be redeemed under the program as describedprogram. First, we limit requests for redemptions other than those made within two years of a stockholder's death on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed 5.0% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. Requests precluded by this test are not considered in the test below. In addition, if necessary, we limit all redemption requests, including those sought within two years of a stockholder’s death, on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed the greater of 100% of the net proceeds from our DRP during the calendar year or 5.0% of weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year.

UnderOur board of directors recently approved an amendment to the SRP we limit the number and dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the plan as follows:
First, we limit requests for redemptions other than those made within two years of a stockholder's death on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed 5.0% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. Requests precluded by this test are not considered in the test below.

In addition, if necessary, we limit all redemption requests, including those sought within two years of a stockholder’s death, on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed the greater of 100% of the net proceeds from our DRP during the calendar year or 5.0% of weighted average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year.
Some stockholders may, due to financial hardship, need to sell their shares. Given the current illiquidity of our shares, some third parties have sought to exploit these hardships by offering to purchase our shares at prices substantially belowchange the price at which the shares were issued by us. (Third-party tender offers have been conducted at $3.00, $4.00, $4.25 and $4.50 per share.) In order to offer stockholders who are facing a financial hardship a liquidity option that is more attractive than the steeply discounted prices recently offered for our shares by third-party tender offerors, we effect Ordinary Redemptions (as defined in our SRP) to $5.50 per share. The amendment also provides that the SRP) at a redemption price equal to 60.0%effective date of the price at which the share was originally issuedan amendment may be accelerated by us. This redemption price for Ordinary Redemptions will remain in effect until the date that we publish an estimate of the value of a share of our common stock which estimate is not based on the most recent prices paid in a public offering of our common stock (the “Net Asset Value Publication Date”). This price will automatically adjust for special distributions and to account for certain recapitalizations.
When setting the price at which Ordinary Redemptions are effected (up to $6.00 per share), we did not conduct a valuation of our portfolio. Rather we chose a redemption price that was substantially higher than the prices offered in recent tender offers for our shares but that was low enough that we could be confident that redemptions at such price would be an attractive use of cash without having to engage an appraiser or another party to value our portfolio. The $6.00 price at which Ordinary Redemptions are generally effected is not an expression of our view of a value of our shares.
Participation in the SRP is limited to exclude shares purchased from another stockholder if the purchase occurred after July 27, 2010. In other words, if shares are transferred for value by a stockholder after July 27, 2010, the transferee and all subsequent holders of such shares are not eligible to participate in the SRP with respect to such shares.

On July 13, 2011, our stockholders voted to amend the SRP to allow the board of directors to effect any amendment to the share redemption program without the approval of the stockholders. As a result of this vote (and as disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the vote), our SRP will be amended to change the price at which we redeem a share of our common stock within two years of a stockholder's death or qualifying disability or qualifying for federal assistance for confinement to a long-term care facility. As amended,date that is fewer than 30 days after the date on which we publish an estimated per share value based in part on an estimate of the value of our assets, the price we pay to redeem such shares will be the estimated per share value. The amendment will become effective on August 18, 2011. The full textannouncement of the Second Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program is filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K filed on July 19, 2011.

Ouramendment if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights of redeeming stockholders. The board of directors recently approved an additional amendment to the SRP. As a result of the amendment, after the Net Asset Value Publication Date, we will pay 60% of the estimated per share value to effect an Ordinary Redemption. Prior toset November 8, 2011 as the effective date of the amendment of the SRP, Ordinary Redemptions will continue to be effected at 60% of the price at which the share was originally issued by us. The amendment was approved to ensure that we retain the cash necessary to fund capital expenditures and distributions. Given the low redemption price, we recommend that stockholders not effect Ordinary Redemptions under the SRP as amended, or as currently in effect.

The amendment does not change redemption prices for redemptions that occur within two years of a stockholder’s death or "qualifying disability" or in connection with a stockholder's (or stockholder's spouse) qualifying for federal assistance for confinement to a "long-term care facility," which redemptions will continue to be effected at the price at which the shares were originally issued (in most cases, $10.00 per share) until the Net Asset Value Publication Date, at which time such redemptions will be effected at the estimated per share value.

The amendment will become effective 30 days after the filing with the SEC of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The full text of the Third Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program is filed as an exhibit to this quarterly report and the above description of the amendment is qualified by reference to the full text of SRP.amendment.
