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”) 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, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 unknown 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 results, our ability to meet 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 herein, as well as Item 1A in Wells REIT II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, for a discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006

(unaudited)

1. Organization

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. Wells REIT II engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and commenced operations on January 22, 2004. Wells REIT II conducts business primarily through Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. (“Wells OP II”), a Delaware limited partnership. Wells REIT II is the sole general partner of Wells OP II and controls the operations of Wells OP II. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II owned more than 99.9% of the equity interests in Wells OP II. Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), the external advisor to Wells REIT II, is the sole limited partner of Wells OP II. Wells OP II acquires, develops, owns, leases, and operates real properties directly, through wholly owned subsidiaries or through joint ventures. References to Wells REIT II herein shall include all subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, including Wells OP II, Wells OP II’s subsidiaries, and consolidated joint ventures. See Note 4 for a discussion of the advisory services provided by Wells Capital.

As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II owned interests in 37 office properties, one industrial building, and one hotel, comprising approximately 11.3 million square feet of rentable space located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-three of the properties are wholly owned and six are owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2006, the office and industrial properties were approximately 96.2% leased.

On December 1, 2003, Wells REIT II commenced its initial public offering of up to 785.0 million shares of common stock, with 185.0 million of such shares reserved for issuance through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. Except for continuing to offer shares for sale through its dividend reinvestment plan, Wells REIT II stopped offering shares for sale under its initial public offering on November 26, 2005. Wells REIT II raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.1 million shares under its initial public offering. On November 10, 2005, Wells REIT II commenced a follow-on offering of up to 300.6 million shares of common stock, with 0.6 million of such shares reserved for issuance under Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $224.7 million from the sale of approximately 22.5 million shares under the follow-on offering. On April 14, 2006, Wells REIT II amended the aforementioned registration statements in order to combine the 300.6 million shares registered under the follow-on offering and the 174.4 million remaining unsold shares related to the dividend reinvestment plan registered under the initial public offering.

After reducing aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion, raised from the sale of common stock under the initial public offering and follow-on offering, for payments of acquisition fees of approximately $43.8 million, selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $206.8 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $35.5 million, and common stock redemptions of approximately $23.3 million under the share redemption program, Wells REIT II had received aggregate net offering proceeds of approximately $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2006, substantially all of which has been invested in real properties.

Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a public securities exchange. However, Wells REIT II’s charter requires that, in the event that Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a national securities exchange by October 2015, Wells REIT II must either seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this listing deadline or stockholder approval to begin liquidating investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders. In the event that Wells REIT II seeks stockholder approval for an extension or amendment to this listing date and does not obtain it, Wells REIT II will then be required to seek stockholder approval to liquidate. In this circumstance, if Wells REIT II seeks and does not obtain approval to liquidate, Wells REIT II will not be required to list or liquidate and could continue to operate indefinitely as an unlisted company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Wells REIT II have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for these unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, and a variable interest entity in which Wells REIT II is the primary beneficiary. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Wells REIT II’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Redeemable Common Stock

As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II’s share redemption program provided that all redemptions during any calendar year, including those upon death or qualifying disability, are limited to those that can be funded with proceeds raised in the current calendar year from Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan. As the use of those proceeds for redemptions is outside the control of Wells REIT II, they are considered to be temporary equity under Accounting Series Release No. 268,Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stock. Therefore, Wells REIT II has included an amount equal to proceeds from shares issued through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan in the current calendar year, less the amount of redemptions previously funded with such proceeds, as redeemable common stock in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2006.

Effective July 1, 2003, Wells REIT II adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”), which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the company to repurchase its shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. Wells REIT II’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. As such, SFAS 150 is not applicable until such shares are tendered for redemption by the holder, at which time Wells REIT II reclassifies such obligations from mezzanine equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, all shares tendered for redemption had been settled.

Revenue Recognition – Hotel Operations

Wells REIT II owns an interest in a full-service hotel. Revenues derived from the operations of the hotel include, but are not limited to, revenues from rental of rooms, food and beverage sales, telephone usage, and other service revenues. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered.

Income Taxes

Wells REIT II has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. As a REIT, Wells REIT II generally is not subject to income tax on income it distributes to stockholders. Wells REIT II is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On October 4, 2005, Wells REIT II created Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Wells REIT II has elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Wells REIT II may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings owned by Wells REIT II through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for Wells REIT II to continue to qualify as a REIT, Wells

10

REIT II’s investment in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of the total assets of Wells REIT II. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, 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. Wells TRS incurred a net operating loss on an income tax basis for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and has recorded the related deferred tax asset in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and recorded the related benefit in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123-R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123,Accounting and Disclosure for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123-R applies to all transactions involving the issuance of equity securities, including, among others, common stock and stock options, in exchange for goods and services. SFAS 123-R requires Wells REIT II to recognize expense for all stock options awarded over the respective vesting periods based on their fair values. SFAS 123-R became effective for Wells REIT II as of January 1, 2006. To date, the options granted by Wells REIT II have not had material value. The adoption of this statement has not had a material effect on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections(“SFAS 154”), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 changes the method to account for and report changes in accounting principles and corrections of errors. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles required recognition as a cumulative effect adjustment to net income during the period in which the change was adopted. Conversely, in circumstances where applicable accounting guidance does not include specific transition provisions, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005; however, it does not change the transition provisions of any of the existing accounting pronouncements. The adoption of this statement has not had a material effect on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2005, the FASB issued a Staff Position related to Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 78-9-1:Interaction of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants SOP 78-9 and Emerging Issues Task Force(“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5 (“FSP”). The EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-5,Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, and concluded that a general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership and should, therefore, consolidate the limited partnership unless the limited partners possess substantive “kick-out” rights or substantive “participating rights.” This FSP eliminates the concept of “important rights” provided in SOP 78-9 and replaces it with the concepts of “kick-out rights” and “substantive participating rights,” as defined in EITF Issue No. 04-5. For all new partnerships formed and existing partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified, this FSP and EITF Issue No. 04-5 became effective as of June 30, 2005. For all other partnerships, this guidance became effective as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of this FSP has not had a material effect on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements.

Total indebtedness	$	676,774	$	832,402

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had the following activity with respect to its line of credit and notes payable:

On January 3, 2006, Wells REIT II repaid the entire outstanding principal balance on the University Circle Buildings mortgage note of approximately $117.7 million and, additionally, paid a prepayment penalty of approximately $5.7 million. In connection with prepayment of the University Circle Buildings mortgage note, Wells REIT II recognized a loss of approximately $1.1 million resulting from the prepayment penalty of approximately $5.7 million and a write-off of approximately $0.6 million in deferred financing costs, partially offset by a write-off of the unamortized fair value adjustment to debt of approximately $5.2 million. Accordingly, costs associated with the early extinguishment of debt are reported as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

On February 3, 2006, Wells REIT II repaid the entire outstanding principal balance on the Finley Road and Opus Place Buildings mortgage note of $17.8 million.

The line of credit represents a $400.0 million unsecured revolving financing facility (the “Wachovia Line of Credit”) with a syndicate of banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A., which expires May 9, 2008. During 2005, Wells REIT II pledged approximately $9.2 million of its borrowing capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit to letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs. As of March 31, 2006, after consideration of the letters of credit, Wells REIT II had a remaining borrowing capacity of up to approximately $195.8 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit.

The LakePointe 3 construction loan represents a construction loan to fund up to $17.1 million of the costs to build an office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. The loan requires monthly interest payments and matures in 2007. The interest rate, per annum, is the monthly London Interbank Offered Rate offered by Wachovia, plus 100 basis points. During the fourth quarter of 2005, Wells REIT II entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure to changing interest rates, resulting in Wells REIT II paying a fixed rate of 4.84% per annum of the balance outstanding at each payment date. The interest rate swap expires in 2007.

Cash paid for interest, including amounts capitalized and excluding the prepayment penalty related to the University Circle Buildings mortgage note, was approximately $9.3 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

4. Related-Party Transactions

Advisory Agreement

On October 20, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a new advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital, which entitles Wells Capital to earn specified fees for certain services. The Advisory Agreement is effective through October 19, 2006; however, either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days’ written notice. If initiating termination of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II would be obligated to pay all unpaid earned fees and reimbursements of expenses to Wells Capital.

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells Capital receives the following fees and reimbursements:

• Reimbursement of organization and offering costs paid by Wells Capital on behalf of Wells REIT II, not to exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds;

• Acquisition fees of 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, subject to certain limitations; Wells REIT II also reimburses Wells Capital for expenses it pays to third parties in connection with acquisitions or potential acquisitions;

• Monthly asset management fees equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the cost of (1) all properties of Wells REIT II and (2) investments in joint ventures. The amount of these fees paid in any calendar quarter may not exceed 0.25% of the net asset value of those investments at each quarter-end after deducting debt used to acquire or refinance properties;

• Reimbursement for all costs and expenses Wells Capital incurs in fulfilling its duties as the asset portfolio manager, including (i) wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of Wells Capital’s employees, which 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 Wells Capital receives a disposition fee (described below) or an acquisition fee, and (ii) amounts paid for IRA custodial service costs allocated to Wells REIT II accounts;

• For any property sold by Wells REIT II, 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’ invested capital plus an 8% return of invested capital; and

• Listing fee of 10% of the excess by which the market value of the stock plus dividends paid prior to listing exceeds the sum of 100% of the invested capital plus an 8% return on invested capital.

Per the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II is required to reimburse Wells Capital for certain organization and offering costs up to the lesser of actual expenses or 2% of gross equity raised. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II has incurred and charged to additional paid-in capital cumulative other offering costs of approximately $31.7 million related to the initial offering and $3.8 million related to the follow-on offering, which represents approximately 1.6% and 1.7% of cumulative gross equity raised by Wells REIT II under each offering, respectively.

Dealer-Manager Agreement

Wells REIT II has executed a Dealer-Manager Agreement with Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”), whereby WIS, an affiliate of Wells Capital, performs the dealer-manager function for Wells REIT II. For these services, WIS earns a commission of up to 7% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the shares of Wells REIT II, of which substantially all is re-allowed to participating broker dealers.

13

Additionally, Wells REIT II is required to pay WIS a dealer-manager fee of up to 2.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Wells REIT II’s stock at the time the shares are sold. Under the dealer-manager agreement, up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds may be reallowed by WIS to participating broker dealers.

Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement

On November 24, 2004, Wells REIT II entered into a Master Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of Wells Capital. In consideration for supervising the management, leasing, and construction of certain Wells REIT II properties, Wells REIT II will pay the following fees to Wells Management in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement:

• 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 ten years;

• Initial lease-up fees for newly constructed properties under the agreement, generally equal to one month’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.

Economic Dependency

Wells REIT II has engaged Wells Capital and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT II, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of some properties owned by Wells REIT II, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of Wells REIT II common stock, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT II including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT II is dependent upon Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS.

Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, Wells REIT II focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. 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 Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of Wells REIT II’s common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II believes that WREF is generating adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Take-out Agreements

Wells Management has developed a program that involves the acquisition of income-producing commercial properties through a series of single-member limited liability companies for the purpose of facilitating the resale of co-tenancy interests in such real estate properties (the “Wells Section 1031 Program”) to persons seeking to reinvest the proceeds from a sale of real estate held for investment in another real estate investment to qualify for like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Participants”). Acquisitions of properties for the Wells Section 1031 Program are generally financed with a combination of permanent first mortgage financing and interim financing obtained from institutional lenders. Following the acquisition of a property, a subsidiary of Wells Management attempts to sell co-tenancy interests in such property to 1031 Participants, the proceeds from which are typically used to immediately repay interim financing.

As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had commitments outstanding under three Take-Out Purchase and Escrow Agreements (the “Take-Out Agreements”). Under the terms of the Take-Out Agreements, Wells REIT II receives a fee in exchange for committing to purchase any of the co-tenancy interests described above that remain unsold to 1031 Participants on the maturity date of the interim financing obtained to acquire the properties.

Information regarding the Take-Out Agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2006 is as follows (in thousands):

Location of Property	Property Acquisition Date	Obligation End Date	Initial Maximum Exposure		Remaining Exposure at March 31, 2006
Lisle, IL	December 14, 2005	June 14, 2006	$	12,080	$	11,081

Bellevue, NE	December 16, 2005	June 16, 2006	$	14,440	$	14,440

Decision One Building

On June 24, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into an agreement to purchase a five-story office building currently under construction that will contain approximately 180,000 rentable square feet in Lancaster, South Carolina (the “Decision One Building”) for a gross purchase price of approximately $33.7 million, plus closing costs and an allowance for tenant improvements and leasing commissions not to exceed $1.8 million. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid a nonrefundable deposit of $3.4 million to an escrow agent. This deposit will be applied to the purchase price upon completion of the building. Completion of the construction of the Decision One Building is anticipated to occur in June 2006, at which point the purchase price will become due and payable to the seller. Decision One Mortgage Company will lease 100% of the Decision One Building at rental rates to be determined based upon total actual construction costs.

Property Under Construction

On December 28, 2005, Wells REIT II executed a construction agreement with an unrelated third party for the purpose of constructing the LakePointe 3 office building in Charlotte, North Carolina for a total cost of approximately $17.1 million. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had approximately $5.8 million in costs remaining to be incurred under the agreement. During April 2006, construction of the LakePointe 3 office building was substantially completed and tenants began to take occupancy therein. As of April 30, 2006, approximately $4.5 million in costs, primarily related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions, remained to be incurred under the agreement.

Properties Under Contract

As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had entered into a contract to acquire two, three story office buildings containing approximately 268,000 aggregate rentable square feet located on an approximate 16.4-acre tract of land at 3100-3200 West Ray Road in Chandler, Arizona (the “SanTan Buildings”) for a total purchase price of $59.3 million, plus closing costs. As of March 31, 2006, Wells REIT II had placed approximately $1.0 million of cash in escrow in connection with this contract, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

On April 18, 2006, Wells REIT II purchased the SanTan Buildings for a purchase price of approximately $59.3 million, exclusive of closing costs and adjustments. The SanTan Buildings, which were constructed in 2000 and 2003, are leased to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (approximately 50%), ISOLA USA Corporation (approximately 9%), and various other office tenants (approximately 41%).

University Circle Buildings

In connection with the acquisition of the University Circle Buildings on September 20, 2005, Wells REIT II agreed to pay additional purchase consideration ranging from $7.7 million to $12.9 million under an earnout agreement with the seller. The exact amount of the earnout payment is determined based on the amount of qualified leases, as defined, to be procured by the seller for currently vacant space on or before May 1, 2006. At closing, Wells REIT II assigned $7.7 million of available borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit to a letter of credit, and increased the basis of the property by accruing the minimum earnout payment of $7.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the minimum earnout payment was reduced to $7.5 million, and Wells REIT II incurred additional purchase consideration of approximately $4.4 million. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2006, $11.9 million is capitalized to the basis of the property and included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

16

Upon the expiration of the earnout agreement on May 1, 2006, Wells REIT II had incurred total additional purchase consideration of approximately $11.9 million, of which approximately $10.3 million was paid to the seller on May 1, 2006 with investor proceeds.

Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements

Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells REIT II to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. The current lease with the majority tenant of the 100 East Pratt Street Building, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., entitles T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. to obligate Wells REIT II to fund tenant improvements or grant leasing commissions of up to $9.3 million, of which approximately $1.9 million may be used to offset future rental billings at the tenant’s discretion. As of March 31, 2006, no tenants have exercised such options that had not been materially satisfied.

Litigation

Wells REIT II is from time to time a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Wells REIT II is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Wells REIT II. Wells REIT II is not aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

From April 1, 2006 through April 30, 2006, Wells REIT II raised approximately $62.3 million through the issuance of approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock under its follow-on offering. As of April 30, 2006, approximately 271.3 million shares remained available for sale to the public under the follow-on offering, exclusive of shares available under Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan.

Amendment to Share Redemption Program

Wells REIT II’s board of directors has further amended Wells REIT II’s share redemption program to make death redemptions subject to a limitation that requires the dollar amount of shares redeemed in any calendar year to not exceed the dollar amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during such year. This amendment will become effective 30 days following the filing of this quarterly report. Previously, death redemptions were excluded from this limitation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, as well as the notes to our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Wells REIT II was formed on July 3, 2003. During 2004, we began acquiring real estate assets and receiving investor proceeds under our initial public offering of common stock. We continued receiving investor proceeds and investing in real estate assets throughout 2005. Thus, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 reflect growing operational revenues and expenses, fluctuating interest expense, and general and administrative expenses. The increased operational revenues and expenses result from acquiring real properties, while the fluctuations in interest expense arise from using varying levels of short-term and long-term debt financing for our acquisitions. Our general and administrative expenses have declined as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005, commensurate with the operational growth of the enterprise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

From January 2004 through March 2006, we raised significant funds through the sale of our common stock under our public offerings. We primarily used the proceeds from these sales of common stock, net of offering costs and other expenses, to acquire real properties and fund certain capital improvements identified at the time of acquisition. We anticipate receiving proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our follow-on offering in the future, and investing such proceeds in future acquisitions of real properties. We also anticipate receiving proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan in the future, and using a significant portion of such proceeds to fund redemptions of our common stock under our share redemption program. We expect that our primary source of future operating cash flows will be cash generated from the operations of the properties currently in our portfolio and those to be acquired in the future. The amount of future dividends to be paid to our stockholders will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, our expectations of future cash flows, and our determination of near-term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, redemptions of our common stock, and debt repayments.

The competition to acquire high-quality commercial office properties remains high. Currently, we continue to raise capital at a rate comparable to the first quarter of 2006. Timing differences arise between acquiring properties and raising capital and between making operating payments and collecting operating receipts. Accordingly, we may periodically be required to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet our dividend payment schedule. Our primary focus is to continue to maintain the quality of our portfolio. Thus, in this intensely competitive environment, we may opt to lower the dividend rather than compromise that quality or accumulate significant borrowings to meet a dividend level higher than operating cash flow would support. We will continue to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions and their impact on our earnings and future dividend projections.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $38.0 million, which is primarily comprised of receipts for rental revenues, hotel income, tenant reimbursements, and interest and other income, offset by payments for property operating costs, hotel operating costs, asset and property management fees, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses. From cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid dividends to stockholders of approximately $30.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we had net cash outflows from financing activities of approximately $10.8 million, primarily as a result of net repayments on our line of credit and notes payable of approximately $150.7 million and a prepayment penalty of approximately $5.7 million related to debt extinguishment. Such cash outflows were primarily funded by net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our public offerings, less payments of related

19

commissions and dealer-manager fees, of approximately $187.4 million. We expect to utilize residual cash and cash equivalents of approximately $42.5 million as of March 31, 2006 to satisfy current liabilities, pay future dividends, fund future acquisitions of real properties, or reduce indebtedness.

We intend to continue to generate capital from the sale of common stock under our follow-on offering and from third-party borrowings, and to use such capital primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate. As of April 30, 2006, we held cash balances of approximately $67.1 million and had outstanding borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit of approximately $196.0 million. As of April 30, 2006, after consideration of letters of credit pledged against the Wachovia Line of Credit, we had a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $194.8 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit. Accordingly, we believe that we have adequate capacity to continue to expand our portfolio and meet our future operating cash flow needs. We expect to use substantially all of our future operating cash flow to pay dividends to stockholders and to use cash on hand and third-party borrowings to fund capital expenditures.

On March 3, 2006, the board of directors of Wells REIT II declared a daily dividend for stockholders of record from March 16, 2006 through June 15, 2006 in an amount equal to an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share, which is consistent with the rate of dividends declared for each quarter in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 on a per share basis. Such dividend will be paid during June 2006.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our primary sources of capital over the long term will include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from third-party lenders, and net cash flows from operations. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, tenant improvements, offering-related costs, operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, and dividends.

In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that substantially all future net operating cash flows, after payments for certain capital expenditures such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions, will be used to pay dividends. However, we may use other sources of cash, such as short-term borrowings, to fund dividends from time to time (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview” above). We expect to use substantially all net cash flows generated from raising equity or debt financing to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified upon acquisition, the repayment of outstanding borrowings, and the redemption of shares under the share redemption program. If sufficient equity or debt capital is not available, our future investments in real estate will be lower.

To the extent that future cash flows provided by operations are lower due to lower returns on properties, future dividends paid may be lower as well. Our cash flow from operations depends significantly on market rents and our tenants’ ability to make rental payments. We believe that the diversity of our tenant base and the concentration of creditworthy tenants in our portfolio helps to mitigate the risk of tenants defaulting on leases. However, general economic downturns, or downturns in one or more of our core markets, could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire. In the event of either situation, our cash flow and consequently our ability to meet capital needs, could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends in the future.

Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation, amortization, and net income will each increase in future periods as a result of owning the assets we acquired during 2005 for an entire period and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets.

We commenced our initial public offering on December 1, 2003. Following the receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2,500,000 on January 22, 2004, we acquired 21 real properties during 2004 and the first three months of 2005. During the remainder of 2005, we invested in 18 additional properties, which increased our total portfolio to 39 properties as of March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the results of operations presented for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 are not directly comparable.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2005 versus the three months ended March 31, 2006

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $25.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $56.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2005. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Hotel income and hotel operating costs of approximately $4.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to the acquisition of a hotel in conjunction with an office tower acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $7.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $21.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2005. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of additional real estate assets.

Depreciation of real estate and amortization of related lease costs increased from approximately $4.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $10.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to the acquisition of properties during 2005.

21

Amortization increased at a higher rate than depreciation primarily because the amortization period for lease assets is the respective lease term, which is generally shorter than the useful life over which we depreciate buildings and improvements. We expect depreciation and amortization to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to future acquisitions of real estate assets.

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to increases in salary expense reimbursements payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management as a result of acquiring additional properties during 2005. General and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues decreased from approximately 7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to approximately 4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. In connection with the acquisition of additional real properties, we anticipate future general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as measured in gross dollars and to continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we achieve greater economies of scale with a larger portfolio of real estate assets in future periods, as compared to historical periods.

Interest expense increased from approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to new mortgage notes and mortgage notes assumed in connection with property acquisitions during the last three quarters of 2005, as well as an increase in average borrowings under our lines of credit. Average borrowings under our lines of credit increased from approximately $38.7 million during the first quarter of 2005 to $272.3 million during the first quarter of 2006. Future levels of interest expense will vary primarily based on the amounts of future borrowings and the costs of borrowings. Future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate or interests therein. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will largely depend on the level of additional investor proceeds we raise under our ongoing public offering, the opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, and the timing of such future acquisitions.

We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 in connection with prepaying the University Circle Buildings mortgage note. The loss resulted from a prepayment penalty of $5.7 million and a write-off of $0.6 million in deferred financing costs, partially offset by a write-off of the unamortized fair value adjustment to debt of approximately $5.2 million.

Minority interest decreased from approximately $30,000 in earnings of consolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to approximately $29,000 in loss of consolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of acquiring interests in three properties through separate joint ventures with minority interest partners during the last three quarters of 2005 and the consolidation of a variable interest entity in which we acquired an interest during the fourth quarter of 2005 and are the primary beneficiary. Earnings allocated to minority interest partners fluctuate based on the level of earnings generated by related properties and the nature of the allocation provisions provided in respective joint venture agreements.

We recognized net income and net income per share of approximately $0.8 million and $0.01, respectively, for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to a net loss and net loss per share of approximately $0.9 million and $0.00, respectively, for the first quarter of 2006. The $1.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, described above, and the increase in interest expense resulting from higher debt levels during the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 were the principal reasons for these decreases. We expect future real estate acquisitions to result in an increase in net income in future periods. The level of future net income per share will vary primarily based on the level of equity proceeds raised and the rate at which we are able to invest such proceeds in income-generating real estate assets.

22

Funds From Operations

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Our management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentation, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is the most relevant measure of our operating performance and, accordingly, believe that FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income.

Certain noncash items such as depreciation, amortization, and gains on the sale of real estate assets are excluded from our calculation of FFO. Conversely, FFO is not adjusted to reflect the cost of capital improvements or any related capitalized interest. Our calculation of FFO is presented in the following table (in thousands, except for share amounts):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2006			2005
Net income (loss)	$	(881	)	$	810
Add:
Depreciation of real assets		10,678			4,059
Amortization of lease-related costs		19,470			8,360
FFO	$	29,267		$	13,229
Weighted-average shares outstanding		206,103,961			90,073,384

Set forth below is additional information related to selected material cash and noncash items included in or excluded from net income (loss) above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results:

Included in Net Income (Loss):

• Straight-line rental revenue of approximately $5.8 million and $2.3 million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively;

• Amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities was recognized as net decreases to rental revenues of approximately $2.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively;

• Amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million was recognized as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively; and

• Approximately $1.1 million was recognized as a loss on early extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2006 in connection with prepayment of the University Circle Buildings mortgage note resulting from a cash prepayment penalty of $5.7 million and a write-off of $0.6 million in deferred financing costs, partially offset by a write-off of the unamortized fair value adjustment to debt of approximately $5.2 million.

23

Excluded from Net Income (Loss):

• During the three months ended March 31, 2006, master lease proceeds of $0.2 million were collected relating to previous acquisitions. Master lease proceeds are recorded as an adjustment to the basis of real estate assets during the period acquired and, accordingly, are not included in net income (loss) or FFO. We consider master lease proceeds when determining cash available for dividends to our stockholders.

REIT Qualification

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 REIT taxable income 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.

On October 4, 2005, we created Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware limited liability company. We have elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings that we own through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, our investment in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of our total assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, Wells TRS incurred a net operating loss on an income tax basis; therefore, we recorded the related deferred tax asset and benefit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, respectively.

No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than the benefit earned by 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 the 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 re-set 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 comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

24

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
Tenant improvements	Shorter of economic life or lease term
Intangible lease assets	Lease term

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on our estimate of their fair values.

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

The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases are recorded 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 leases and (ii) our 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.

The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements and other direct costs and are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in deferred lease 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 is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These lease intangibles 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.

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which would impact the amount of our reported net income.

25

Valuation 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 and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we decrease the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144,Accounting 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, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisors, Wells Capital and Wells Management, whereby we pay certain fees or reimbursements to Wells Capital and Wells Management, or their affiliates, for asset advisory fees, acquisition and advisory fees, sales commissions, dealer-manager fees, and reimbursement of operating costs. See Note 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to certain contingencies and commitments with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Notes 4 and 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further explanation. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include:

• Litigation against Wells Capital and its affiliates (Note 4);

• Take-out Agreements (Note 5);

• Decision One Building (Note 5);

• Property under construction (Note 5);

• Properties under contract (Note 5);

• University Circle Buildings (Note 5); and

• Commitments under existing lease agreements (Note 5).

Subsequent Events

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

From April 1, 2006 through April 30, 2006, we raised approximately $62.3 million through the issuance of approximately 6.2 million shares of our common stock under our follow-on offering. As of April 30, 2006, approximately 271.3 million shares remained available for sale to the public under the follow-on offering, exclusive of shares available under our dividend reinvestment plan.

Acquisition of SanTan Buildings

On April 18, 2006, we purchased two, three-story office buildings containing approximately 268,000 aggregate rentable square feet located on an approximate 16.4-acre tract of land at 3100-3200 West Ray Road in Chandler, Arizona (the “SanTan Buildings”). The purchase price of the SanTan Buildings was approximately $59.3 million, exclusive of closing costs and adjustments. The SanTan Buildings, which were constructed in 2000 and 2003, are leased to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (approximately 50%), ISOLA USA Corporation (approximately 9%), and various other office tenants (approximately 41%).

Amendments to Share Redemption Program

Our board of directors has further amended our share redemption program to make death redemptions subject to a limitation that requires the dollar amount of shares redeemed in any calendar year to not exceed the dollar amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during such year. This amendment will become effective 30 days following the filing of this quarterly report. Previously, death redemptions were excluded from this limitation.

27

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE 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. Our line of credit is based on variable interest rates in order to take advantage of the lower rates available in the current interest rate environment and to provide the necessary financing flexibility; however, we are closely monitoring 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 an interest rate swap, and may enter into other interest rate swaps, caps, or other arrangements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. All of our debt was entered into for other than trading purposes.

Our financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. The Wachovia Line of Credit and the LakePointe 3 construction loan are our only debt instruments that bear interest at a variable rate. As of March 31, 2006, we had $195.0 million outstanding on the Wachovia Line of Credit, $10.6 million outstanding on the LakePointe 3 construction loan, and $471.2 million in fixed-rate, term mortgage loans. The weighted-average interest rate of our fixed and variable rate debt at March 31, 2006 under these loans was 5.20%.

The Wachovia Line of Credit is subject to interest costs based on, at our option, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for 7-, 30-, 60-, 90-, or 180-day periods, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.20% (“LIBOR Loans”), or the floating base rate. The applicable margin for LIBOR Loans is based on the ratio of debt to total asset value. The base rate for any day is the higher of Wachovia’s prime rate for such day, or the Federal Funds Rate for such day plus 50 basis points. The maturity date of the Wachovia Line of Credit is May 9, 2008. We are able to extend the initial maturity date to May 9, 2009 if we seek an extension and meet the related conditions set forth in the agreement. An increase in the variable interest rate on this line of credit constitutes a market risk, as an increase in rates would increase interest incurred and, therefore, decrease cash flows available for distribution to stockholders.

The LakePointe 3 construction loan represents a construction loan to fund up to $17.1 million of the costs to build an office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. The loan requires monthly interest payments and matures in 2007. The interest rate, per annum, is the monthly LIBOR Index Rate offered by Wachovia plus 100 basis points. We entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure to changing interest rates, resulting in us paying a fixed rate of 4.84% per annum of the balance outstanding at each payment date. The interest rate swap expires in 2007.

Approximately $471.2 million of our total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2006 is subject to fixed rates, with an average interest rate of 5.03% and expirations ranging from 2008 to 2018. A change in the market interest rate impacts the net financial instrument position of our fixed-rate debt portfolio but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows.

28

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods in SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We stopped offering shares for sale under the 600.0 million-share primary offering on November 26, 2005. We raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.1 million shares under the initial public offering.

After payment of acquisition fees of approximately $38.6 million, selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $182.3 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $31.7 million, and common stock redemptions of approximately $13.3 million under the share redemption program, we had received aggregate net offering proceeds under our initial public offering of approximately $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2006, all of which has been invested in real properties.

Follow-on Public Offering

On November 10, 2005, we commenced a follow-on offering of up to 300.6 million shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, with 0.6 million of such shares reserved for issuance under our dividend reinvestment plan. As of March 31, 2006, we had raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $224.7 million from the sale of approximately 22.5 million shares under the follow-on offering.

After payment of acquisition fees of approximately $5.2 million, selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $24.5 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $3.8 million, and common stock redemptions of approximately $10.0 million under the share redemption program, we had received aggregate net offering proceeds under our follow-on offering of approximately $181.2 million as of March 31, 2006, all of which have been invested in real properties.

(c) During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we redeemed shares as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Period	Total Number of Shares Redeemed (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available That May Yet Be Redeemed Under the Program
January 2006	159	$	9.63	(2)
February 2006	267		9.53	(2)

⁽²⁾ We will not make an “Ordinary Redemption” (those that do not occur within two years of death or qualifying disability) until one year after the issuance of the share to be redeemed. We will not redeem shares on any redemption date to the extent that such redemptions would cause the amount paid for Ordinary Redemptions since the beginning of the then-current calendar year to exceed 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during such period. We will limit all redemptions to no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. We will also limit all redemptions, including (effective 30 days from the filing of this quarterly report) redemptions upon the death of a stockholder, so that the aggregate of redemptions during any calendar year will not exceed 100% of the net dividend reinvestment plan proceeds during the calendar year.
