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”" "we," "our" or “us”"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,”"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”("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 Wells REIT II’sII's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20102011 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.

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
Wells REIT II is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of ourits depreciable assets. We considerWells REIT II considers 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 ourits 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


Page 12

Table of Contents


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.

Assets Held for Sale
During the third quarter of 2011, Wells REIT II evaluatedclassifies assets as held for sale according to ASC 360, Accounting for the recoverabilityImpairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"). According to ASC 360, assets are considered held for sale when the carrying value offollowing criteria are met:

An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the third quarter of 2011, upon consideringplan to sell 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. have been initiated.

a completed sale, within one year.
The property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
At such time that a property is determined to be held for sale, its carrying amount is reduced to the lower of its depreciated book value or its estimated fair value, measurements used in this evaluationless costs to sell, and depreciation is no longer recognized. As of nonfinancial assets are considered to be Level 3 valuations withinDecember 31, 2011, Emerald Point and 5995 Opus Parkway were classified as held for sale at their respective depreciated book values (see Note 9. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for additional information). Both 5995 Opus Parkway and Emerald Point were sold during the fair value hierarchy outlined above, as there are significant unobservable inputs. Examplesfirst three months 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’smanagement'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 as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011, and recognized amortization of these assets of approximately $1.6$0.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, March 31, 2012 and 2011, and approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 20102011.
As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, the remaining net below-market lease asset will be amortized as follows (in thousands):

Bonds Payable
On April 4,In 2011, Wells REIT II sold $250issued $250.0 million of its 7-year, unsecured 5.875% senior notes at 99.295 percent of their face value. The discount on bonds payable is amortized to interest expense over the term of the bonds using the effective-interest method.
Redeemable Common Stock
Under Wells REIT II's share redemption program (“SRP”), the decision to honor redemptions, subject to certain plan requirements and limitations, falls outside 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 13

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

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”("LIBOR") information, and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. The fair value of Wells REIT II’sII's interest rate swaps were $(67.1) million($0.9 million) and $(48.4) million($1.7 million) at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011, respectively.

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.

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,May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”"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”2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 converges the U.S. GAAP and IFRSIFRSs definition of “fair"fair value," the requirements for


Page 15

Table of Contents


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 iswas effective for Wells REIT II on December 15, 2011. Wells REIT II expects that theII's adoption of ASU 2011-04 willhas not havehad a material impact on Wells REIT II's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income Topic Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ ("ASU 2011-05”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

ASU 2011-05 iswas effective for Wells REIT II onafter December 15, 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 theII's adoption of ASU 2011-05 willhas not havehad a material impact on Wells REIT II's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

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 facility 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 facility remain materially unchanged by the amendment.
The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility Amendment provides for interest costs to be incurred based on, at the option of Wells REIT II, the 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 facility agreement). Additionally, Wells REIT II must pay a per-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,January 10, 2012, Wells REIT II used cash on hand and proceeds from the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facilitycredit facility to fully repay the Cranberry Woods Drive mortgage note ($63.4 million) and the 800 North FrederickHighland Landmark Building mortgage note ($46.4 million). of $33.8 million at its maturity.
On September 6, 2011,February 3, 2012, Wells REIT II settled the Manhattan Towers mortgage noteclosed on a four-year, unsecured term loan with a syndicate of banks led by transferring the Manhattan Towers property,JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (the “$450.0 Million Term Loan”). The $450.0 Million Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR, plus 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,applicable base margin; however, Wells REIT II recognized a property impairment losseffectively fixed the interest rate (assuming no change in our corporate credit rating) at 2.64% per annum with an interest rate swap executed contemporaneously with the loan. At closing, the $450.0 Million Term Loan yielded initial gross proceeds 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,$375.0 million. Wells REIT II also made interest paymentshas the ability to increase the amount of approximately $34.2borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan up to a maximum amount of $450.0 million on two occasions during the borrowing period in minimum increments of $25.0 million; however, none of the current banks are obligated to participate in such increases. The $450.0 Million Term Loan matures on February 3, 2016 provided that certain conditions are met prior to that date. Furthermore, provided that certain additional conditions are met prior to, and $31.8at, maturity, the $450.0 Million Term Loan shall become eligible for a one-year extension upon paying an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding balance.
The initial gross proceeds of $375.0 million respectively, including amounts capitalizedwere used to repay temporary borrowings on the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, which were drawn to repay mortgages in the third and fourth quarters of $0.02011. In April 2012, Wells REIT II exercised one of the options to increase borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan from $375.0 million to $410.0 million, which additional proceeds were used to further reduce temporary borrowings, and $0.5 million, respectively.thereby create additional short-term borrowing capacity, under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility. The $450.0 Million Term Loan contains the same restrictions and financial covenants as those included in the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, which are further described in the "Debt Covenants" section of Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

The estimated fair value of Wells REIT II’sII's line of credit and notes payable as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011 was approximately $1,251.3$1,216.4 million and $915.9$1,282.6 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. During the three months ended
March 31, 2012 and 2011, Wells REIT II also made interest payments of approximately $10.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. There was no interest capitalized in either period. As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, Wells REIT II believes it was in compliance with the restrictive covenants on its $450 Million Term Loan, outstanding line of credit, and notes payable obligations.
5.Bonds Payable
On April 4,In 2011, Wells REIT II soldissued $250.0 million of its 7-year, unsecured 5.875% senior notes at 99.295 percent of their face value. These notes, and the equivalent notes issued in exchange therefor (as described below), are referred to as the 2018 Bonds Payablevalue (the "2018 Bonds Payable").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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012.
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;
a 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 is 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
a requirement that the ratio of unencumbered asset value, as defined, to total unsecured debt be at least 150% at all times.
As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, Wells REIT II believes it was in compliance with the restrictive covenants on its 2018 Bonds Payable.

The estimated fair value of Wells REIT II’sII's 2018 Bonds Payable as of September 30,March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $251.2$251.1 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.dates (Level 2).

Litigation
Wells REIT II is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. Wells REIT II records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be


Page 18



reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, Wells REIT II accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, Wells REIT II accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, Wells REIT II discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, Wells REIT II discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Wells REIT II does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of Wells REIT II. Wells REIT II is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which management would consider the outcome to be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Wells REIT II.

WREAS II has executed master services agreements with Wells Capital, Inc. ("Wells Capital") and Wells Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management") whereby WREAS II may retain the use of Wells Capital’sCapital's and Wells Management’sManagement's employees as necessary to perform the services required under the Advisory Agreement, and in return, shall reimburse Wells Capital and Wells Management for the associated personnel costs. Further, under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II incurs fees and reimbursements payable to WREAS II and its affiliates for services as described below:
Reimbursement of organization and offering costs paid by WREAS II and its affiliates on behalf of Wells REIT II, not to exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds.




Page 1918



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 have been incurred at 1% of the property purchase price (excluding acquisition expenses); however, in no event may total acquisition fees for the 2011 calendar year exceed 2% of total gross offering proceeds. Wells REIT II also reimburses WREAS II and its affiliates for expenses it pays to third parties in connection with acquisitions or potential acquisitions.
Monthly assetAsset management fees equal toare incurred monthly at one-twelfth of 0.625% of the costlesser of (i) gross cost, as defined, of all properties of Wells REIT II (other than those that fail to meet specified occupancy thresholds) and (ii) investments in joint ventures, or (ii) the aggregate value of Wells REIT II's interest in the properties and joint ventures as established with the most recent asset-based valuation, until the monthly payment equals $2.7 million (or $32.5 million annualized), as of the last day of each preceding month. TheFor the first three months of 2011, Wells REIT II generally paid monthly payment remains capped at that amount untilasset management fees equal to one-twelfth of 0.625% of the cost of (i) all properties of Wells REIT IIII's properties (other than those that fail to meet specified occupancy thresholds) and (ii)its investments in joint ventures are at least $6.5 billion, after which the monthly asset management fee will equal one-twelfth of 0.5% of the cost of (i) all properties of Wells REIT II (other than those that fail to meet specified occupancy thresholds) and (ii) investments in joint ventures. However, monthly asset management fees shall be assessed on the Lindbergh Center Buildings and the Energy Center I Building, which were acquired on July 1, 2008 and June 28, 2010, respectively, at one-twelfth of 0.5% immediately. The amount of asset management fees paid in any three-month period is limited to 0.25% of the average of the preceding three months’ net asset value calculations less Wells REIT II’s outstanding debt. Effectiveventures; from April 2011 through March 2012, asset management fees were capped at $2.7 million per month (or $32.5 million annualized) following the March 2011 acquisition of the Market Square Buildings. With respect to (ii) above, Wells REIT II published its first net asset-based valuation (per share) on November 8, 2011, which has not impacted asset management fees incurred to date due to continued applicability of the $2.7 million per month ($32.5 million per annum) cap described above.
Reimbursement for all costs and expenses WREAS II and its affiliates incur in fulfilling its duties as the asset portfolio manager, including (i) wages and salaries (but excluding bonuses other than the signing bonus paid to E. Nelson Mills upon his appointment as President of Wells REIT II) and other employee-related expenses of WREAS II and its affiliates’affiliates' employees, who perform a full range of real estate services for Wells REIT II, including management, administration, operations, and marketing, and are billed to Wells REIT II based on the amount of time spent on Wells REIT II by such personnel, provided that such expenses are not reimbursed if incurred in connection with services for which WREAS II and its affiliates receive a disposition fee (described below) or an acquisition fee, and (ii) amounts paid for IRA custodial service costs allocated to Wells REIT II accounts. The Advisory Agreement limits the amount of reimbursements to the Advisor of “portfolio"portfolio general and administrative expenses”expenses" and “personnel"personnel expenses," as defined, to the extent they would exceed $18.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.2011 and $4.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.
For any property sold by Wells REIT II, other than part of a “bulk sale”"bulk sale" of assets, as defined, a disposition fee equal to 1.0% of the sales price, with the limitation that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) for any Wells REIT II property sold may not exceed the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the sales price of each property or (ii) the level of real estate commissions customarily charged in light of the size, type, and location of the property.
Incentive fee of 10% of net sales proceeds remaining after stockholders have received distributions equal to the sum of the stockholders’stockholders' invested capital, plus an 8% per annum cumulative return of invested capital, which fee is payable only if the shares of common stock of Wells REIT II are not listed on an exchange.
Listing fee of 10% of the amount by which the market value of the stock plus distributions paid prior to listing exceeds the sum of 100% of the invested capital, plus an 8% per annum cumulative return on invested capital, which fee will be reduced by the amount of any incentive fees paid as described in the preceding bullet.
Effective November 8, 2011, the date of Wells REIT II's net asset value publication, asset management fees will be calculated based on the lesser of (i) the amount determined in accordance with the agreement as described above or (ii) the aggregate value of Wells REIT II's interest in the properties and joint ventures as established with the most recent asset-based valuation.Advisory Agreement Renewal
Dealer-Manager Agreement
With respect to the Third Offering,On April 1, 2012, Wells REIT II renewed the advisory agreement with WREAS II for an additional three months (the "April Renewed Advisory Agreement"). The April Renewed Advisory Agreement is effective from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 and has materially the same terms as the agreement that was partyin effect through March 31, 2012, with limits on reimbursements to WREAS II of "portfolio general and administrative expenses" and "personnel expenses," as defined, to the extent they would exceed approximately $4.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the period from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012. In addition, the April Renewed Advisory Agreement includes a dealer-manager agreement (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”)limit of $1.5 million on acquisition fees during the term of the agreement.
Proposed Agreements with Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”), whereby WIS, an affiliate of Wells Capital, performed the dealer-manager function for Wells REIT II. For these services, WIS earned a commission of up to 7% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the shares ofReal Estate Funds and its Affiliates
Although Wells REIT II of which substantially all was re-allowedcan give no assurance that the parties will be able to participating broker/dealers.come to agreement, Wells REIT II pays no commissions on shares issued under its DRP.
Additionally, with respectis working to document and agree to the Third Offering,following proposed arrangements with Wells Real Estate Funds and its affiliates:
Advisory Agreements. Wells REIT II was requiredis in negotiations to pay WIS a dealer-manager feeenter into an advisory agreement for the period from July 1 through December 31, 2012. The parties expect that the total fees and reimbursements under this agreement (the "Initial Term Advisory Agreement"), would reflect savings of 2.5%approximately $375,000 to the company. Following the expiration of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Wells REIT II’s stock at the time the shares were sold. Under the Dealer-Manager Agreement, up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds were re-allowable by WIS to participating broker/dealers. Wells REIT II pays no dealer-manager fees on shares issued under its DRP.


Initial Term


Page 2019



Advisory Agreement, the parties expect to enter into a subsequent advisory agreement for another year with fees and reimbursements being approximately $1,750,000 less than Wells REIT II pays for such services under the current payment terms. This one-year advisory agreement, which is referred to as the "Renewal Advisory Agreement," and the Initial Term Advisory Agreement would each be terminable on 60 days' notice without penalty by either party. The Renewal Advisory Agreement would also automatically terminate upon the exercise of the WREAS II Assignment Option, which is described below.
Wells REIT II expects that stockholder and communications services (currently provided under Well REIT II's advisory agreement) would be covered under a separate agreement with Wells Real Estate Funds or an affiliate of WREF (the "Investor Services Agreement"). The savings referenced in the prior paragraph are inclusive of the amounts expected to be paid under the Investor Services Agreement. Accordingly, if WREF enters into the Initial Term Advisory Agreement, the Renewal Advisory Agreement and the Investor Services Agreement, from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, Wells REIT II would expect to receive all of the services Wells REIT II currently receive from the Advisor and its affiliates under Wells REIT II's current advisory agreement for a total cost that is approximately $2,125,000 less than Wells REIT II would pay for such services under current payment terms. The Investor Services Agreement would commence on July 1, 2012 for a six-month term. Wells REIT II expects the Investor Services Agreement would be renewed on the same terms for a one-year term commencing January 1, 2013. The Investor Services Agreement would be terminable on 60 days' notice without penalty. Also, upon the exercise of the WREAS II Assignment Option, certain caps designed to ensure the savings described above would expire.
Transitional Services Agreement. Subject to coming to terms on final documentation, WREF has indicated a willingness to enter into a Transitional Services Agreement pursuant to which WREF would be obligated to assign WREAS II to Wells REIT II at a time of Wells REIT II's choosing during the term of the Renewal Advisory Agreement (the "WREAS II Assignment Option"). No payment would be associated with this assignment. However, Wells REIT II would agree to pay WREF for the work required to transfer sufficient employees, proprietary systems and processes and assets to WREAS II to prepare for a successful transition to self-management. The Transitional Services Agreement would commence on July 1, 2012 and run through December 31, 2013. Wells REIT II would pay WREF $500,000 per month for the first 12 months for these services, with no additional payments required during the last six months of the agreement's term. The Transitional Services Agreement would not be terminable by either party except for cause. Should Wells REIT II exercise the proposed WREAS II Assignment Option prior to December 31, 2013, Wells REIT II must also agree to enter into a consulting agreement with WREF pursuant to which WREF would consult with Wells REIT II regarding certain of the matters covered by the Renewal Advisory Agreement at a price equal to the amounts remaining to be paid under that agreement less the costs assumed by Wells REIT II in connection with the assignment.
Agreements with WREF After Wells REIT II's Self-management. Upon becoming self-managed through the exercise of the WREAS II Assignment Option, Wells REIT II would expect to have the following agreements in place with WREF or its affiliates:
Investor Services Agreement (described above), with payment terms to be negotiated.
Operations and Administrative Support Agreement, with respect to the provision of human resources services, certain information technology services (such as desktop support services) and accounts payable administration. Whether Wells REIT II enters into this agreement would be solely at its discretion depending upon Wells REIT II's needs at that time. Assuming Wells REIT II had 50 employees during the first year that it was self-managed, Wells REIT II estimates the maximum annual costs under such an agreement would be less than $900,000.
Lease and Occupancy Agreement, with respect to the leasing of office space at a cost of approximately $250,000 per year. Whether Wells REIT II enters into this agreement would be solely at Wells REIT II's discretion as Wells REIT II might choose to lease space elsewhere.
Master Property Management, Leasing and Construction Management Agreement (the "Master Property Management Agreement"). Wells REIT II is already party to this agreement with Wells Management. The current agreement is terminable without penalty on 60 days' notice. Whether Wells REIT II terminates this agreement or renew or modify it following Wells REIT II's becoming self-managed would be solely at Wells REIT II's discretion. Wells REIT II expects this agreement would be at market rates.
Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement
Wells REIT II and Wells Management, an affiliate of WREAS II, were party to a master property management, leasing, and construction agreement (the “Management Agreement”"Management Agreement") during 2008, 2009,2011 and 2010,2012, under which Wells Management received the following fees and reimbursements in consideration for supervising the management, leasing, and construction of certain Wells REIT II properties:



Page 20



Property management fees in an amount equal to a percentage negotiated for each property managed by Wells Management of the gross monthly income collected for that property for the preceding month;
Leasing commissions for new, renewal, or expansion leases entered into with respect to any property for which Wells Management serves as leasing agent equal to a percentage as negotiated for that property of the total base rental and operating expenses to be paid to Wells REIT II during the applicable term of the lease, provided, however, that no commission shall be payable as to any portion of such term beyond 10 years;
Initial lease-up fees for newly constructed properties under the agreement, generally equal to one month’smonth's rent;
Fees equal to a specified percentage of up to 5% of all construction build-out funded by Wells REIT II, given as a leasing concession, and overseen by Wells Management; and
Other fees as negotiated with the addition of each specific property covered under the agreement.
Assignment of Management Agreement
Effective January 1, 2011, Wells Management assigned all of its rights, title, and interest in the Management Agreement to WREAS II, and Wells REIT II consented to such assignment. As part of this assignment, Wells Management has guaranteed the performance of all of WREAS II’s obligations under the Management Agreement. Pursuant to its terms, the Management Agreement was renewed on October 24, 2011 for an additional one-year term.

EconomicOperational 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 isII's operations are 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


Page 21



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’sWREF'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 September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, 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. Modifying Wells REIT II's service agreements, as described in the preceding section Proposed Agreements with Wells Real Estate Funds and its Affiliates, could impact WREF's future net income and future access to liquidity and capital resources.

11.10.     Financial Information for Parent Guarantor, Other Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
On April 4, 2011, Wells OP II generated net proceeds of $246.7 million from its sale of theThe 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.
The 2018 Bonds Payable are guaranteed by Wells REIT II and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of each of Wells REIT II and Wells OP II.
On February 3, 2012, in connection with the execution of the $450 Million Term Loan, Wells REIT II added two subsidiaries as guarantors to the $450 Million Term Loan, the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, and the 2018 Bonds Payable, which resulted in the reclassification of prior-period amounts between the guarantor and non-guarantor groupings within the condensed consolidating financial statements to conform with the current period presentation. In accordance with SEC Rule 3-10(d), Wells REIT II includes herein condensed consolidating financial information in lieu of separate financial statements of the subsidiary issuer (Wells OP II) and Subsidiary Guarantors, as defined in the bond indenture, because all of the following criteria are met:


Page 23



(1)The subsidiary issuer (Wells OP II) and all Subsidiary Guarantors are 100% owned by the parent company guarantor (Wells REIT II);
(2)The guarantees are full and unconditional; and
(3)The guarantees are joint and several.
Wells REIT II uses the equity method with respect to its investment in subsidiaries included in its condensed consolidating financial statements. Set forth below are Wells REIT II’sII's condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011 (in thousands) as well as its condensed consolidating statements of operations (in thousands) for the three and ninethree month periods ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and 20102011; its condensed consolidating statements of comprehensive income; and its condensed consolidating statements of cash flows (in thousands), each for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and 20102011.

Overview
During the periods presented,From 2004 through 2010, we continued to receive netraised approximately $5.9 billion in gross 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 ininvested those proceeds, net of fees, into commercial real estate assets. As a result,consisting primarily of high-quality, income-producing office and industrial properties leased to creditworthy entities located in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States. Following our initial growth period, during the periods presented,2011 and 2012, we have concentrated our real

estate portfolio has grown andefforts on actively managing 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 exploreexploring a variety of strategic opportunities focused on enhancing the composition of our portfolio and the total return potential for the REIT. In 2011,doing so, we have concentrated such exploration effortsmade strategic acquisitions and dispositions, and entered into a number of favorable debt transactions. These activities have given rise to fluctuations in property operating results and interest expense over the periods presented.


Page 30



Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
In 2011 and 2012, we actively managed our real estate portfolio with an emphasis on aleasing and re-leasing space, and pursuing and closing on strategic acquisition opportunity, managing the compositionacquisitions and maturities of the borrowings withinselective dispositions to better align our portfolio with our current investment objectives. During this period, we also promoted our capital structure by continuing to raise net equity proceeds through our dividend reinvestment program (“DRP”), improving the composition, maturities and evaluatingcapacity of our debt portfolio, while lowering our overall borrowing costs, accessing new sources of capital, and identifying 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 repay 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 to continue to use substantially all net 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 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. 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 appreciation in value over the long term, including acquisition fees and expenses. We use DRP proceeds to fund share redemptions (subject to the limitations of our share redemption program), and make residual DRP proceeds available to fund capital improvements for our existing portfolio, additional real estate investments, and other cash needs.
Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of $208.473.6 million, which consists primarily of receipts from tenants for rent and reimbursements, reduced by payments for operating costs, administrative expenses, and interest expense. Such net cash flows from operating activities are also reduced for acquisition-related costs of $11.2 million. During the same period, we paid total distributions to stockholders, including $98.031.1 million reinvested in our common stock pursuant to our DRP, of $202.968.0 million. We expect to use the majority of our future net cash flow from operating activities to fund distributions to 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 included 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, we sold the 5995 Opus Parkway building and the Emerald Point building for net proceeds of $57.7 million and made net debt repayments of $43.4 million. During this period, we also generated net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our DRP net of acquisition fees$31.1 million and used those proceeds, along with cash on hand, to fund share redemptions of $28.1$25.3 million a portion of which was used to fundand capital expenditures and leasing costs for our properties.of $13.0 million.
We believe that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our current obligations as they come due. As of October 31, 2011,April 30, 2012, we had access to the borrowing capacity under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility of $277.0$435.0 million.



Page 33



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; redemptions of shares of our common stock under our share redemption program; capital expenditures, such as building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs; repaying or refinancing debt,debt; and selective property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures.
On February 3, 2012, we closed on a four-year, unsecured term loan with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (the "$450.0 Million Term Loan"). The $450.0 Million Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR, plus an applicable base margin; however, we effectively fixed the interest rate (assuming no change in our corporate credit rating) at 2.64% per annum with an interest rate swap executed contemporaneously with the loan. At closing, the $450.0 Million Term Loan yielded initial gross proceeds of $375.0 million. We have the ability to increase the amount of borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan up to a maximum amount of $450.0 million on two occasions during the borrowing period in minimum increments of $25.0 million; however, none of the current banks are obligated to participate in such increases. The $450.0 Million Term Loan matures on February 3, 2016 provided that certain conditions are met prior to that date. Furthermore, provided that certain additional conditions are met prior to, and at, maturity, the $450.0 Million Term Loan shall become eligible for a one-year extension upon paying an extension fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding balance. The $450.0 Million Term Loan contains the same restrictions and financial covenants as those included in our JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, which are further described in the "Debt Covenants" section, which follows.




Page 31



The initial gross proceeds of $375.0 million were used to repay temporary borrowings on the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, which were drawn to repay mortgages in the third and fourth quarters of 2011. In April 2012, we exercised one of the options to increase borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan from $375.0 million to $410.0 million, which additional proceeds were used to further reduce temporary borrowings outstanding, and thereby create additional short-term borrowing capacity, under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility.
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 assetdebt-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. Our debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio is calculated using the outstanding debt balance and real estate at cost. As of September 30, 2011,March 31, 2012, our debt-to-real-estate-asset ratio was approximately 24.8%25.0%.
Our board of directors has elected to maintain the quarterly stockholder distribution rate at $0.125 per-shareper share for both the third and fourth quartersfirst quarter of 2011 (fourth quarter 2011 distributions will be paid in December 2011).2012. While our operational cash flowflows from our properties remainsremain strong, economic downturns in our markets, or in the particular industries in which our tenants operate, and capital funding requirements for our real estate portfolio, or for future strategic acquisitions, could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease spaceexert negative pressure on favorable terms when leases expire, either of which circumstance could adversely affect our ability to fundfunds available for future distributions to stockholders.stockholder distributions. 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.

Amounts include principal obligations only. We made interest payments on these obligations of $30.0$10.0 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, all of which was funded with interest income earned on the corresponding investments in development authority bonds.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, we owned controlling interests in 7169 office properties, which were approximately 94.3%92.9% leased, and one hotel. Our real estate operating results have increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period of 20102011, primarily due to acquiring properties in 2010 andthe Market Square Buildings acquisition 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.fluctuate based on future strategic acquisitions and dispositions.
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 versus the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012
Continuing Operations
Rental income increased from $112.5113.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $120.9120.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in service during 2010 andacquiring the Market Square Buildings on March 7, 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 remained stable at $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as additional reimbursements from the Market Square property are offset by fewer reimbursements for the remainder of the portfolio primarily due to concessions offered in connection with new and modified leases executed in 2011 and 2012. Property operating costs increased from $26.141.7 million and $42.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $27.544.5 million and $45.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in service during 2010 and 2011.the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings on March 7, 2012. 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 fromremained relatively stable at $1.00.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 toand $1.30.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012. 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$0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $3.7$1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to fees earned in connection with a lease terminations.restructuring at 4100-4300 Wildwood Parkway. Future other property income fluctuations are expected to primarily relate to future lease restructuring activities.
Asset and property management fees increased from $9.59.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to properties acquired and placed into service during 2010 andthe acquisition of the Market Square Buildings on March 7, 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 werehave remained capped at $2.7 million (or $32.5 million annualized) beginning insince April 2011 as a result offollowing 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.

Depreciation increased from $26.127.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $30.330.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 andMarket Square Buildings acquisition on March 7, 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.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements).
Acquisition fees and expenses decreased fromwere $2.110.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011, primarily due to the closingacquisition of the Third Offering effective June 30, 2010 and changing the manner in whichMarket Square Buildings. No acquisition fees are incurred. Throughwere incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as we did not acquire any properties during this period. Until 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 20112012 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 $21.622.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $28.726.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, primarily due to debt obtained to fundchanges in the acquisitioncomposition of the Market Square Buildings in March 2011.borrowings within our capital structure. 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 from $11.912.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 to $10.310.0 million for the three months ended September 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 5.9 years as of September 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 $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a loss of $14.8 million for the three months ended September 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 income attributable to Wells REIT II of $4.7 million ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to net income of $5.1 million ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in earnings is primarily due to growth in the portfolio in 2010 and 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 third 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 $15.3 million, which 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. As a result, earnings from discontinued operations increased from a loss of $(0.8) million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to a gain of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to disposing of Manhattan Towers in the third quarter of 2011.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2011
Continuing Operations
Rental income increased from $327.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $357.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in 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 $71.7 million and $122.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $78.5 million and $133.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired or placed in service during 2010 and 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 $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 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 $27.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to properties acquired and placed into service during 2010 and 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 8. Related-Party Transactions and Agreements in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Depreciation increased from $73.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $88.3 million for the nine months ended September 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 $85.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $91.3 million for the nine months ended September 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 $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to an early lease termination at one of our properties.
Acquisition fees and expenses increased from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 201131, 2012, primarily due to the acquisitionsettlement of the Market Square Buildingslitigation 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 $32.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 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 5.95.4 years as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012. Interest income earned on investments in development authority bonds is entirely offset by interest expense incurred on the corresponding capital leases.

The increase is primarily attributable to growthgains recognized on the sales of 5995 Opus Parkway and Emerald Point in the first quarter of 2012 and non-recurring acquisition expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Market Square Buildings in the first quarter of 2011. Growth in our portfolio in 2010 and 2011 generated additional real estate operating income, which is offset by additional interest expense due to increasing the percentage of borrowings used in our capital structure during that year.

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 $15.3 million, which 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. As a result, earnings from discontinued operations increased from a loss of $2.3 million million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a gain of $3.1 million million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations
Funds from Operations ("FFO"), 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, impairment losses related to sales of real estate assets, and adjustments for earnings allocated to noncontrolling interests in consolidated partnerships.  Effective December 31, 2011, we adjusted our calculation of FFO to be consistent with


Page 34

Table of Contents


NAREIT's recent Accounting and Financial Standards Hot Topics, which clarifies that impairment losses on real estate assets should be excluded from FFO. 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, adjustedAdjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), a non-GAAP financial measure. AFFO is calculated by adjusting FFO 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. Such intangible lease assets (liabilities) arise from the allocation of acquisition price related to direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, the value of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals, the value of tenant relationships, and the value of effective rental rates of in-place leases that are above or below market rates of comparable leases at the time of acquisition. 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 performance of our real estate investments, thatwhich 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 respective leases. Thus, for any given period, straight-line rental income represents the difference between the contractual rental billings for that period and the average rental billings over the lease term for the same length of time.


Page 38

Table of Contents


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, thatwhich 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, which 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 thatwhich 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 thatBy excluding these items, frommanagement believes that AFFO provides supplemental information indicativethat allows for better comparability of reporting periods, which is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operations. This exclusion also improves comparability

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 andII, LLC ("Wells TRS"), Wells KCP TRS, LLC ("Wells KCP TRS"), and Wells Energy TRS, LLC ("Wells Energy TRS") are wholly owned subsidiaries of Wells REIT II and are organized as Delaware limited liability companies and include the operations of, among other things, a full-service hotel. We have elected to treat Wells TRS, Wells KCP TRS, and Wells KCPEnergy TRS as taxable REIT subsidiaries. We may perform certain additional, noncustomary services for tenants of our buildings through Wells TRS, Wells KCP TRS, or Wells KCPEnergy 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 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. 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, 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.
Property Net Book Value Impairment Loss Recognized Fair Value
Manhattan Towers 65,317
 (5,817) 59,500

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’sproperty'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 37



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”"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.



Page 41



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’smanagement'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’smanagement'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’smanagement'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 September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011, and recognized amortization of these assets of approximately $1.6$0.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2012 and 2011, and approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 20102011.

Assertion of Legal Action Against Related-Parties
On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (“("Piedmont REIT”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;Management; 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’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. Since the filing of the second amended complaint, the plaintiff has said it intends to seek monetary damages of approximately $159 million plus prejudgment interest.
On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On September 16, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiff’splaintiff's motion for class certification. On September 20, 2009, the defendants filed a petition for permission to appeal immediately the Court’sCourt'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’splaintiff'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’defendants' motion for summary judgment and granting, in part, the plaintiff’splaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment. The Court ruled that the question of whether certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT constituted “material”"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
On November 17, 2011, the court issued rulings granting several of the plaintiff's motions in limine to prohibit the defendants from introducing certain evidence, including evidence of the defendants' reliance on advice from their outside legal and financial advisors, and limiting the defendants' ability to relate their subjective views, considerations, and observations during the trial dateof the case. On February 23, 2012, the Court granted several of the defendants' motions, including a motion for reconsideration regarding a motion the plaintiff had filed seeking exclusion of certain evidence impacting damages, and motions seeking exclusion of certain evidence proposed to be submitted by the plaintiff. The suit has been removed from the Court's trial calendar pending resolution of a request for interlocutory appellate review of certain legal rulings made by the Court.

Determination of Estimated Per-Share Value

Overview
On 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 first 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 fair value of our liabilities, and to use those estimates to calculate an estimated fair value of our shares. The engagement of Altus was approved by the asset management committee of our board of directors, which committee is composed 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 September 30, 2011. The potential dilutive effect of our common stock equivalents does not impact our estimated per-share value. Our estimated share value is the same as our net asset value. It does not reflect "enterprise value," which includes a premium for:
the large 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 and 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)report.
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 annual 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 above Valuation Methodology section).  Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different estimated per-share value.  Accordingly, with respect to our estimated per-share value, we can provide no assurance that:



Page 46



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 $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 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%. The JPMorgan Bridge Loan was fully repaid on June 3, 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,


Page 47



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$450 Million Term Loan, 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 bearbears interest at an effectively variable rate, as the variable ratesrate on the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note, the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note,$450 Million Term Loan and the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note have been effectively fixed through the interest rate swap agreements described below. As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, we had $220.5100.0 million outstanding under the JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Facility; $173.0$375 million outstanding on the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note;$450 Million Term Loan; $64.0 million outstanding on the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note; $25.926.0 million outstanding on the Three Glenlake Building mortgage note; $248.3$248.5 million in 5.875% bonds outstanding; and $711.6$676.7 million outstanding on fixed-rate, term mortgage loans. The weighted-average interest rate of all of our debt instruments was 5.44%4.45% as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012.
On February 3, 2012, we closed on a four-year, unsecured term loan with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (the “$450.0 Million Term Loan”). The 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note was used to purchase the 80 Park Plaza Building. The note$450.0 Million Term Loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR, plus 130 basis points (approximately 1.52%an applicable base margin; however, we effectively fixed the interest rate (assuming no change in our corporate credit rating) at 2.64% per annum as of September 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 agreementexecuted contemporaneously with the loan. At closing, the $450.0 Million Term Loan yielded initial gross proceeds of $375.0 million. We have the ability to hedge exposureincrease the amount of borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan up to changing interest rates. The interest rate swap agreement has an effective datea maximum amount of September 22, 2006 and matures September 21, 2016.

The $450.0 Million Term Loan matures on February 3, 2016 provided that certain conditions are met prior to that date. Furthermore, provided that certain additional conditions are met prior to, and at, maturity, the 80 Park Plaza Building mortgage note at 6.575% per annum.
The 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note was used$450.0 Million Term Loan shall become eligible for a one-year extension upon paying an extension fee equal to purchase0.15% of the 222 E. 41st Street Building. The note bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 120 basis points (approximately 1.42% per annum as of September 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
August 16, 2017. The interest rate swap effectively fixes our interest rate on the 222 E. 41st Street Building mortgage note atoutstanding balance.

6.675% per annum.The initial gross proceeds of $375.0 million were used to repay temporary borrowings on the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, which were drawn to repay mortgages in the third and fourth quarters of 2011. In April 2012, we exercised one of the options to increase borrowings under the $450.0 Million Term Loan from $375.0 million to $410.0 million, which additional proceeds were used to further reduce temporary borrowings outstanding, and thereby create additional short-term borrowing capacity, under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility.
The Three GlenlakeDuring the three months ended March 31, 2012, we used cash on hand and proceeds from the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to fully repay the Highland Landmark Building mortgage note was used to purchaseof $33.8 million at its maturity. During the Three Glenlake Building. The note bearsthree months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we also made interest at one-month LIBOR plus 90 basis points (approximately 1.12% per annum aspayments of September 30, 2011),approximately $10.1 million 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.$8.2 million, respectively.
Approximately $1,222.9$1,326.2 million of our total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 is subject to fixed rates, either directly or when coupled with an interest rate swap agreement. As of September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, these balances incurred interest expense at an average interest rate of 5.63%4.62% and have expirations ranging from 20112012 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 September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, 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%2.0% and 2.0%1.9% of total assets at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and December 31, 20102011, respectively, and 0.6%1.0% and 0.7%0.5% of total revenue for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2011March 31, 2012 and 20102011, respectively. As compared to rates in effect at September 30, 2011March 31, 2012, 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.

We currently limit the dollar value and number of shares that may yet be redeemed under the program. 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’sstockholder'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.
Our board of directors recently approved an amendment to the SRP to change the price at which we effect Ordinary Redemptions (as defined in our SRP) to $5.50 per share. The amendment also provides that the effective date of an amendment may be accelerated by the board of directors to a date that is fewer than 30 days after the date of the announcement of the amendment if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights of redeeming stockholders. The board of directors set November 8, 2011 as the effective date of the amendment.
