(a) General

Maryland corporation formed on July 3, 1997. The Company is the sole general
partner of Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Wells OP"), a Delaware limited

investment in properties. An additional $65,742,524 was spent for acquisition
expenditures and was funded by loans from various lending institutes.
Wells OP owns interest in properties both directly and through equity

(b) Deferred Project Costs
The Company pays Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses to
Wells Capital, Inc., the Advisor, for acquisition and advisory services and
as reimbursement for acquisition expenses. These payments may not exceed
3 1/2% of shareholders' capital contributions. Acquisition and Advisory Fees
and Acquisition Expenses paid as of June 30, 2000, amounted to $7,613,708 and
represented approximately 3 1/2% of shareholders' capital contributions
received. These fees are allocated to specific properties as they are
purchased.
(c) Deferred Offering Costs
The Advisor pays all the offering expenses for the Company. The Advisor may
be reimbursed by the Company to the extent that such offering expenses do not
exceed 3% of shareholders' capital contributions.
(d) Employees
The Company has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
the Company's Advisor, perform a full range of real estate services including
leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and investor
relations for the Company.
(e) Insurance
Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Company and the Advisor,
carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the
properties owned directly and indirectly by the Company. In the opinion of
management of the registrant, the properties are adequately insured.
(f) Competition
The Company will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers
of competing projects which may include its affiliates. As a result, the
Company may be required to provide free rent; reduced
-8-
charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all of which may have
an adverse impact on results of operations. At the time the Company elects to
dispose of its properties, the Company will also be in competition with
sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its
properties.
(g) Basis of Presentation
Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Wells OP. At
December 31, 1997, the Wells OP had issued 20,000 limited partner units to
Wells Capital, Inc., the Advisor, in exchange for a capital contribution of
$200,000. The Company is the sole general partner in Wells OP; consequently,
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company includes the
amounts of both the Company and Wells OP.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These quarterly statements have
not been examined by independent accountants, but in the opinion of the Board
of Directors, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented
include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature,
necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(h) Distribution Policy
The Company will make distributions each taxable year (not including a return
of capital for federal income tax purposes) equal to at least 95% of its real
estate investment trusts taxable income. The Company intends to make regular
quarterly distributions to holders of the shares. Distributions will be made
to those shareholders who are shareholders as of the record date selected by
the Directors. Distributions will be declared on a monthly basis and paid on
a quarterly basis during the Offering period and declared and paid quarterly
thereafter.
(i) Income Taxes
The Company has made an election under Section 856 (C) of the Internal
Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be taxed as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Code beginning with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1998. As a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the
Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it
distributes to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in
any taxable year, it will then be subject to federal income tax on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to
qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four
years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event
could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash
available to distribute to shareholders. However, the Company believes that
it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as
a REIT and intends to continue to operate in the foreseeable future in such a
manner so that the Company will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes.
(j) Statement of Cash Flows
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and
short-term investments.
-9-
2. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
The Company owned interests in 24 office buildings through its ownership in
Wells OP, which owns interest in five joint ventures. The Company does not
have control over the operations of these joint ventures; however, it does
exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investment in joint venture is
recorded using the equity method.
The following describes additional information about certain of the
properties in which the Company owns an interest as of June 30, 2000.
Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture
On April 10, 2000, Wells Fund XII and Wells OP, the Operating Partnership for
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., entered into a Joint Venture
Partnership Agreement for the purpose of acquiring, owning, leasing,
operating and managing real properties. The Joint Venture Partnership is
known as the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture Partnership (the "Fund XII-REIT
Joint Venture").
As of June 30, 2000, Wells OP had contributed approximately $6,782,935 for an
approximate 50% equity interest in the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture. As of
June 30, 2000, Wells Fund XII also had an approximate 50% equity interest in
the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture.
Siemens Building
On May 10, 2000, the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture acquired the Siemens
Building, a three-story office building containing approximately 77,054
rentable square feet on a 5.3-acre tract of land located in Troy, Oakland
County, Michigan, for a purchase price of $14,265,000, excluding acquisition
costs. The entire Siemens Building is currently under a net lease agreement
with Siemens which was assigned to the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture at
closing. The lease currently expires on August 31, 2010, and Siemens has the
right to extend the lease for two additional five year periods of time at 95%
of the then current fair market rental rate.
Under the lease, Siemens is required to pay as additional monthly rent its
gas, water and electricity costs and all operating expenses including, but
not limited to, garbage and waste disposal, telephone, sprinkler service,
janitorial service, security, insurance premiums, all taxes, assessments and
other governmental levies and such other operating expenses with respect to
the Siemens Building. In addition, Siemens is responsible for all routine
maintenance and repairs to its portion of the Siemens Building. Siemens is
responsible for maintenance of the common and service areas and the central
heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems of the building.
The Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture, as landlord, is responsible for the repair
and replacement of the roof, foundation, loan bearing items, exterior surface
walls, plumbing, pipes, conduits and electrical, mechanical and plumbing
systems of the Siemens Building. Siemens must obtain written consent from the
Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture before making any alterations to the premises in
excess of $100,000 in the aggregate within any 12-month period.
Under the terms of the Siemens, lease the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture is
required to reimburse Siemens for tenant improvement costs in the amount of
$1,954,516. The Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture received a credit at closing in
an amount equal to this tenant improvement allowance.
Siemens has a one-time right to cancel the Siemens lease effective after the
90th month of the term if Siemens (a) provides written notice of such
cancellation on or before the last day of the 78th month, and (b) pays a
cancellation fee to the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture currently calculated to
be approximately $1,234,160.

and obligations under the Avnet Ground Lease which commenced November 19,
1997 and expires on December 31, 2082. The annual ground lease payment for
the first 15 years of the Avnet Ground Lease term is $230,777.
The entire Avnet Building is currently under a net lease agreement (the

Avnet Lease was assigned to Wells OP at the closing. The initial term of the

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 the
accompanying financial statements of the Company and notes thereto. This
report contains 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, including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the
Company, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete certain
projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated to be distributed to
limited partners in the future, and certain other matters. Readers of this
report should be aware that there are various factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this
report, which include construction costs which may exceed estimates,
construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants upon the
expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to fund tenant
improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company began active operations on June 5, 1998, when it received and
accepted subscriptions for 125,000 shares pursuant to its initial public
offering, which commenced on January 30, 1998. The Company terminated its
initial public offering on December 19, 1999, and on December 20, 1999, the
Company commenced a follow-on public offering of up to 22,200,000 shares of
common stock at $10 per share. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
raised an aggregate of $134,710,850 in offering proceeds through the sale of
13,471,085 shares. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had paid $4,714,880
in Acquisition Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses, $16,838,857 in selling
commissions and organizational offering expenses, and $112,287,969 in capital
contributions to Wells OP for investments in joint ventures and acquisitions
of real properties. As of December 31, 1999, the Company was holding net
offering proceeds of approximately $869,144 available for investment in
additional properties.
Between December 31, 1999, and June 30, 2000, the Company raised an
additional $82,993,823 in offering proceeds through the sale of an additional
8,299,383 shares. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2000, the Company had raised a
total of $217,704,678 in offering proceeds through the sale of 21,770,468
-12-
shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had paid a total of
$7,613,708 in Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses, had
paid a total of $27,191,814 in selling commissions and organizational
offering expenses, had made capital contributions of $179,502,869 to Wells OP
for investments in joint ventures and acquisitions of real property, had
utilized $170,163 for the redemption of stock pursuant to the Company's share
redemption program, and was holding net offering proceeds of $3,226,124
available for investment and additional properties.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2000 and 1999 were $6,315,188 and
$19,449,957, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted
primarily from raising additional capital offset by increased investment in
real property acquisitions.
Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are
added to the Company's investment portfolio. Dividends to be distributed to
the shareholders are determined by the Board of Directors and are dependent
upon a number of factors relating to the Company, including funds available
for payment of dividends, financial condition, capital expenditure
requirements and annual distribution requirements in order to maintain the
Company's status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
As of June 30, 2000, the Company had acquired interests in 24 real estate
properties. These properties are generating sufficient cash flow to cover the
operating expenses of the Company and pay quarterly dividends. Dividends
declared for the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 1999
totaled $0.181 and $0.175 per share, respectively, which were declared on a
daily record date basis in the amount of $0.1991 and $0.1902, respectively,
per share payable to the shareholders of record at the close of business of
each day during the quarter.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,060,467 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and $112,955 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to
the purchase of additional properties in 1999 and 2000.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The increase in net cash used in investing activities from $23,857,111 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $109,152,779 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was due primarily to the raising of additional capital and
funds that have been invested in real property acquisitions.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities from $35,214,710
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $109,477,696 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was due primarily to the raising of additional capital
and the corresponding increase in funds borrowed to purchase additional
properties. The Company raised $82,993,823 in offering proceeds for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $46,164,450 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. In addition, the Company received loan proceeds from
financing secured by properties of $66,170,746 and repaid notes payable in
the amount of $24,357,450.
Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2000, the properties owned by the Company were 100% occupied.
Gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 were $2,192,938 and $9,148,027, respectively. This
increase was due to the purchase of additional properties during 1999 and
2000. The purchase of interests in additional properties also resulted in an
increase in operating
-13-
expenses, management and leasing fees, and depreciation expense. The
Company's net income increased to $3,212,309 for the first six months of 2000
as compared to $995,413 for the first six months of 1999.
Subsequent Event
On June 15, 2000, the Fund VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was formed between
Wells OP and Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates, a Georgia joint venture
partnership between Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. and Wells Real Estate
Fund IX, L.P. (the "Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture"). On July 1, 2000, the Fund
VIII-IX Joint Venture contributed its interest in the Bake Parkway Property
to the Fund VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture. The Bake Parkway Building is a two-
story office building containing approximately 65,006 rentable square feet on
a 4.4 acre tract of land in Irvine, California.
A 42-month lease for the entire Bake Parkway Building has been signed by
Quest Software, Inc. Quest is a publicly traded corporation that provides
software database management and disaster recovery services for its clients.
Construction of tenant improvements required under the Quest lease is
anticipated to cost approximately $1,250,000 and will be funded by Wells OP.

Net income allocated to the Company $ 7,242 $ 3,336 $ 15,250 $ 8,322
======== ======== ======== ========
Rental income increased in 2000, over 1999, due primarily to the increased
occupancy level of the property. Total expenses decreased due to a decrease
in depreciation expense resulting from accelerated depreciation in 1999 on
tenant improvements for a short-term lease for 23,092 square feet. Other
operating expenses are negative due to an offset of tenant reimbursements in
operating costs, as well as management and leasing fee reimbursements.
Tenants are billed an estimated amount for the current year common area
maintenance which is then reconciled the following year and the difference
billed to the tenant. Net income and cash distributions increased in 2000
over 1999 due to a combination of increased rental income and decreased
operating expenses.
The Company's ownership interest in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture
decreased slightly due to additional capital contributions in the first and
second quarters of 2000 by Wells Fund IX and Wells Fund X, respectively, to
the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture.

======== ======== ======== ========
Net income decreased in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to an overall increase
in expenses. Operating expenses increased significantly due, in part, to a
significant rise in real estate taxes, which stemmed from the revaluation of
the property by Boulder County authorities in 1999. A later reduction in
taxes due to an appeal in 2000 was offset by a common area maintenance credit
to the tenant.
Cash distributions have decreased largely because of the decrease in net
income. The Company's ownership interest in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint
Venture decreased slightly due to additional capital contributions in the
first and second quarters of 2000 by Wells Fund IX and Wells Fund X,
respectively, to the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture.

Rental income increased due to a tenant occupying additional space previously

negative due to an offset of tenant reimbursements in operating costs, as
well as management and leasing fee reimbursement. Tenants are billed an
estimated amount for current year common area maintenance which is then
reconciled the following year and the difference billed to the tenants. Due
to these common area maintenance reimbursements, management and leasing fees
increased since these fees are charged only on actual receipts received.
Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company for the quarter

On February 4, 1999, the Wells OP acquired a four-story office building
containing approximately 81,859 rentable square feet on a 10.5-acre tract of
land in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (the "AT&T Building"), for a purchase price
of $12,291,200, excluding acquisitions costs.
Rental income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared
to the three months ended June 30, 1999, due to an understatement of straight
line rent in 1999. Interest expense has decreased in 2000 due to a
substantial decrease in the note payable related to this property.
Since the AT&T Building was purchased in February 1999, comparable income and
expenses figures for the prior year are available for only five months.
