        Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture

        On June 11, 1998, Fund IX and Fund X Associates (the "Joint Venture"), a
        joint venture between the Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. ("Wells Fund
        IX"), a Georgia public limited partnership, and Wells Real Estate Fund
        X, L.P. ("Wells Fund X"), a Georgia public limited partnership, was
        amended and restated to admit Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. ("Wells
        Fund XI") a Georgia public limited partnership, and Wells OP. Wells Fund
        IX, Wells Fund X and Wells Fund XI are all Affiliates of the Company and
        the Advisor.

        The Joint Venture, which changed its name to the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint
        Venture, had previously acquired and owned the following three
        properties: (i) the ABB-Knoxville Building located in Knoxville, Knox
        County, Tennessee, (ii) the Ohmeda Building located in Louisville,
        Boulder County, Colorado, and (iii) the 360 Interlocken Building located
        in Broomfield, Boulder County, Colorado. On June 24, 1998, the Fund
        IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture purchased the Avaya Building, formerly the
        Lucent Technologies Building, located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County,
        Oklahoma. On July 1, 1998, Wells Fund X contributed the Iomega Building
        located in Ogden, Weber County, Utah to the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint
        Venture.

        As of December 31, 2000, Wells OP had contributed approximately
        $1,421,466 for an approximate 3.7% equity interest in the Fund
        IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2000, Wells Fund IX had
        an approximate 39.1% equity interest, Wells Fund X had an approximate
        48.3% equity interest, and Wells Fund XI had an approximate 8.9% equity
        interest in the Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Joint Venture.

        The Alstom Power-Knoxville Building

        On March 20, 1997, the Fund IX-X Joint Venture began construction on a
        three-story office building containing approximately 84,404 rentable
        square feet (the "Alstom Power-Knoxville Building") on a 5.62-acre tract
        of real property in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee. The land purchase
        and construction costs totaling approximately $8,137,994 were funded by
        capital contributions of $4,177,711 by Wells Fund IX and $3,835,000 by
        Wells Fund X.

        Alstom Power Inc. successor in interest to ABB Environmental Systems, a
        subsidiary of ABB, Inc., occupied its lease space of 56,012 rentable
        square feet comprising approximately 67% of the building in December
        1997. The initial term of the lease is 9 years and 11 months commencing
        in December 1997. Alstom Power has the option under its lease to extend
        the initial term of the lease for two consecutive five-year periods. The
        annual base rent payable during the initial term is $646,250 payable in
        equal monthly installments of $53,854 during the first five years and
        $728,750 payable in equal monthly installments of $60,729 during the
        last four years and 11 months of the initial term. The annual base rent
        for each extended term will be at market rental rates. In addition to
        the base rent, Alstom Power is required to pay additional rent equal to
        its share of operating expenses during the lease term.

        Commencing December 1, 1999, ABB Environmental exercised its right of
        first refusal to lease an additional 23,992 square feet of space vacated
        by the Associates in September 1999. This addition increased their
        rentable floor area from 57,831 square feet to 81,823 square feet. On

        May 19, 2000 Alstom Power, Inc. executed the third amendment to the

        On February 11, 2000, Wells OP purchased a three-story office building
        with approximately 101,100 rentable square feel (the "Metris Building")
        on a 14.6-acre tract of land located in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
        from Meridian Tulsa, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited company ("Meridian").

        The purchase price paid for the Metris Building was $12,700,000
        excluding closing costs. The $12,740,000 required to close the Metris
        Building consisted of $4,740,000 in cash funded from a capital
        contribution by the Company and $8,000,000 in loan proceeds from an
        existing revolving credit facility ("Metris Loan"). The Metris Loan was
        originally established by Meridian with Richter-Schroeder Company, Inc.
        on April 8, 1999. Wells OP assumed and extended the original three-year
        term loan entered into by Meridian. The Metris Loan requires monthly
        payments of interest only and matures on February 3, 2003. The interest
        rate on the Metris Loan is an annual variable rate equal to the London
        InterBank offered rate for a 30-day period plus 175 basis points. The
        current interest rate under the Metris Loan is 8.53% per annum. The
        Metris Loan is secured by a first mortgage against the Metris Building,
        which was granted in connection with Meridian's original purchase of the
        Metris Building, and assumed by Wells OP on the date of closing.

        Metris occupies all 101,100 square feet of the Metris Building pursuant
        to a lease agreement dated March 3, 1999, as amended on January 21,
        2000. The initial term of the Metris lease is ten years, which commenced
        on February 1, 2000 and expires on January 31, 2010. Metris has the
        right to renew the lease for two additional five-year periods upon one
        year's advance notice.

        Metris is a principal subsidiary of Metris Companies, Inc. a publicly

        income consumers. Metris Companies consumer credit products are
        primarily unsecured credit cards issued by its subsidiary, Direct
        Merchants Credit Card Bank.

        The annual base rent payable for the Metris lease is $1,187,925 for the
        first five years and $1,306,718 thereafter. The monthly base rent
        payable for the renewal terms of the Metris lease shall be equal to the
        current market rate based on the then existing rates for comparable
        space of equivalent quality in suburban Tulsa, Oklahoma taking into
        account location, quality, age of the office value rental rate
        determination as of twelve months prior to commencement of the renewal
        term. If the parties are unable to agree upon the market rate within
        eleven months prior to commencement of the renewal term, the market rate
        shall then be determined by arbitration.

        Under the Metris lease, Metris is required to pay as additional monthly
        rent all electricity costs and all operating costs and the repair and
        replacement of the roof, foundation, exterior windows, load bearing
        items, exterior surface walls, plumbing, pipes and conduits located in

        On February 18, 1999, Wells Op entered into a Rental Income Guaranty
        Agreement with Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates, whereby Wells OP
        guaranteed the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive rental income
        on the Bake Parkway Building previously leased to Matsushita Avionics at
        least equal to the rental and building expenses that the VIII-IX Joint
        Venture would have received over the remaining term of its original
        lease with Matsushita Avionics. Under the Rental Income Guaranty
        Agreement, Wells OP also guaranteed that, if a joint venture such as the
        VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was ever formed by the parties for the
        ownership and operation of the Bake Parkway Building, Wells OP would
        guarantee to the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive monthly
        cash flow distributions from such joint venture at least equal to the
        rent and building expenses guaranteed under the Rental Income Guaranty
        Agreement. Wells OP had paid approximately $595,000 in rental income
        guaranty payments to the VIII-IX Joint Venture through December 31,
        2000, but has since ceased making such payments since the Bake Parkway
        Building is now fully leased to Quest. Our maximum liability exposure to
        the VIII-IX Joint Venture for rental income and building expenses
        potentially payable under this Rental Income Guaranty Agreement of
        approximately $3,000,000 was taken into account in the economic analysis
        performed in making the determination to go forward with the development
        of the Matsushita Building. Although the lease of the Bake Parkway
        Building by Quest has, at least temporarily, relieved Wells OP of its
        obligations under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, we cannot, at
        this time, determine the amount Wells OP continues to guaranty payment
        under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement and, consequently, continues
        to bear some risk, even though their risk has been substantially
        minimized by the lease with Quest. Any payment made to the VIII-IX Joint
        Venture under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement will be made from
        investor proceeds of the Company.

        The average effective rental per square foot at the Quest Building is
        $13.72 for 2000, $10.11 for 1999, and $10.32 for 1998. The occupancy
        rate at year end was 100% in 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

        The Alstom Power-Richmond Building

        The Alstom Power-Richmond Building (formerly known as the ABB-Richmond
        Building) is a four-story brick office building containing 99,057 gross
        square feet located in Midlothian, Virginia. Wells REIT, LLC-VA I
        ("Wells LLC-VA"), a limited liability company wholly owned by Wells OP,
        purchased a 7.49-acre tract of land on July 22, 1999 for a purchase
        price of $936,250. Wells LLC-VA completed construction of the Alstom
        Power-Richmond Building in July 2000 at an aggregate cost of
        approximately $11,300,000, including the cost of the land.

        The Alstom Power-Richmond Building is leased to Alstom Power, Inc.
        ("Alstom Power"). Alstom Power is the result of the December 30, 1999
        merger between ABB Power Generation, Inc. ("ABB Power") and ABB Alstom
        Power, Inc. As of June 22, 2000, ABB Alstom Power, Inc. changed its name
        to Alstom Power, Inc. ABB Power was a subsidiary of Asea Brown Boveri,
        Inc. a large multi-national engineering and construction company
        headquartered in Switzerland.

        The initial term of the Alstom Power-Richmond lease is seven years which
        commenced on July 24, 2000 and expires on July 23, 2007. Alstom Power
        has the right to extend the lease for two additional five-year periods
        of time. Each extension option must be exercised by giving notice to the
        landlord at least 12 months prior to the expiration of the then-current
        lease term. The annual base rent payable under the Alstom Power lease is
        $1,183,731 for the first year with an escalation of 2.5% each year
        thereafter.

        The monthly base rent payable for each extended term of the Alstom Power
        lease will be equal to the "Market Rate" for new leases of office space
        in that portion of the Richmond, Virginia market that is located south
        of the James River and west of I-95 for space similar to the premises.
        In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rate, then
        each party shall appoint a real estate appraiser. If the appraisers are
        unable to agree upon the Market Rate, they shall appoint a third
        appraiser and each shall make a determination of the Market Rate. The
        appraisal that is farthest from the middle appraisal shall be
        disregarded and the remaining two appraisals shall be averaged to
        establish the Market Rate.

        Alstom Power has a one-time option to terminate the Alstom
        Power-Richmond lease as to a portion of the premises containing between
        12,500 and 13,000 rentable square feet as of the third anniversary of
        the rental commencement date. If Alstom Power elects to exercise this
        termination option, Alstom Power is required to pay a termination fee
        equal to eight times the sum of the next due installments of rent plus
        the unamortized portions of the base improvement allowance, additional
        allowance and broker commission, each being amortized in equal monthly
        installments of principal and interest over the initial term of the
        lease at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Alstom Power must give
        notice of its intent to exercise such option to terminate at least seven
        months in advance of the third anniversary; provided, however, that
        Alstom Power may pay a penalty, as stipulated in the lease, to provide
        less than seven months notice.

        In the event that Alstom Power exercises its termination option as of
        the third anniversary of the rental commencement date, Alstom Power has
        a one-time option to terminate the Alstom Power Richmond lease as to a
        portion of the premises containing between 12,500 and 13,000 rentable
        square feet as of the fifth anniversary of the rental commencement date.
        If Alstom Power elects to exercise this termination option, Alstom Power
        is required to pay a termination fee equal to six times the sum of the
        next due installments of rent plus the unamortized portions of the base
        improvement allowance, additional allowance and broker commission, each
        being amortized in

                                      -24-


        equal monthly installments of principal and interest over the initial
        term of the lease at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Alstom Power
        must give notice of its intent to exercise such option to terminate at
        lease seven months in advance of the fifth anniversary; provided,
        however, that Alstom Power may pay a penalty, as stipulated in the
        lease, to provide less than seven months notice.

        In the event that Alstom Power does not exercise its termination option
        as of the third anniversary of the rental commencement date, Alstom
        Power has a one-time option to terminate the Alstom Power lease as to a
        portion of the premises containing between 24,500 and 25,500 rentable
        square feet as of the fifth anniversary of the rental commencement date.
        If Alstom Power elects to exercise this termination option, Alstom Power
        is required to pay a termination fee equal to six times the sum of the
        next due installments of rent plus the unamortized portions of the base
        improvement allowance, additional allowance and broker commission, each
        being amortized in equal monthly installments of principal and interest
        over the initial term of the lease at a rate of ten percent (10%) per
        annum. Alstom Power must give notice of its intent to exercise such
        option to terminate at least nine months in advance of the fifth
        anniversary; provided, however, that Alstom Power may pay a penalty, as
        stipulated in the lease, to provide less than nine months notice.

        The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Alstom
        Power-Richmond Building was $13.53 the first year of occupancy. The
        occupancy rate at year end was 100% for 2000.

        The Motorola-New Jersey Building is a three-story office building
        containing approximately 236,710 rentable square feet on a 34.5 acre
        tract of land. Wells OP purchased the Motorola-New Jersey Building on
        November 1, 2000 for a purchase price of $33,648,156. In consideration
        for a reduction of the purchase price and immediate occupancy of the
        Motorola-New Jersey Building, Wells OP agreed to assume a liability in
        the amount of $424,760 in the form of a rental guaranty from Motorola,
        Inc. ("Motorola") for the remainder of Motorola's previous lease.

        The Motorola-New Jersey Building is located near Rutgers University in
        Middlesex County, partially in the Borough of South Plainfield and in
        the Township of Edison.

        The Motorola-New Jersey Building is leased to Motorola. Motorola is a
        global leader in providing integrated communications solutions and
        embedded electronic solutions, including software-enhanced wireless
        telephones, two-way radios and digital and analog systems and set-top
        terminals for broadband cable television operators. The initial term of
        the Motorola lease is ten years which commenced on November 1, 2000 and
        expires on October 31, 2010. Motorola has the right to extend the
        Motorola lease for two additional five-year periods of time for a base
        rent equal to the greater of (i) the last year's rent, or (ii) 95% of
        the then-current "fair market rental rate." The annual base rent payable
        for the initial lease term is as $3,324,428 for years 1 through 5 and
        $3,557,819 thereafter.

        The Motorola lease grants Motorola a right of first refusal to purchase
        the Motorola-New Jersey Building if Wells OP attempts to sell the
        property during the term of the lease.

        Additionally, upon giving written notice to Wells OP, Motorola has an
        expansion right for an additional 143,000 rentable square feet. Upon
        completion of the expansion, the term of the Motorola lease shall be
        extended an additional ten years after Motorola occupies the expansion
        space. The base rent for the expansion space shall be determined by the
        construction costs and

                                      -25-


        fees for the expansion. The base rent for the original building for the
        extended ten-year period shall be the greater of (i) the then-current
        base rent, or (ii) 95% of the then-current "fair market rental rate."

        The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Motorola-New
        Jersey Building was $14.54 for the first year of occupancy. The
        occupancy rate at year end was 100% for 2000.

        The Metris Minnetonka Building

        On December 21, 2000, Wells OP purchased a nine-story office building
        with approximately 300,633 rentable square feet located at 10900 Wayzara

        that certain Purchase Agreement dated October 31, 2000 ("Metris
        Agreement") between Opus and the Advisor. Opus is not in any way
        affiliated with the Wells REIT or the Advisor.

        The rights under the Metris Agreement were assigned by the Advisor, the
        original purchaser under the Metris Agreement, to Wells OP at closing.
        The purchase price for the Metris Minnetonka Building was $52,800,000.
        Wells OP also incurred additional acquisition expenses in connection
        with the purchase of the Metris Minnetonka Building, including
        attorneys' fees, recording fees, loan fees, and other closing costs, of
        approximately $100,000. In order to finance the acquisition of the
        Metris Minnetonka Building, Wells OP obtained $52,800,000 in loan
        proceeds by drawing down on an existing line of credit with SouthTrust
        Bank, N.A.

        The Metris Minnetonka Building was completed in August 2000 and is
        leased to Metris as its corporate headquarters. Metris is a principal
        subsidiary of Metris Companies, Inc. ("Metris Companies"), a publicly
        traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange which has
        guaranteed the Metris lease. Metris occupies all 300,633 rentable square
        feet of the Metris Minnetonka Building pursuant to that certain
        Multitenant Office Lease Agreement dated March 29, 1999. The Metris
        lease commenced on September 1, 2000 and has an expiration date of
        December 31, 2011. Metris has the right to renew the Metris lease for an
        additional five-year term with not less than 18 months notice prior to
        the expiration of the initial term at fair market rent, but in no event
        less than the basic rent payable in the immediate preceding period. In
        the event that the parties cannot agree upon the fair market rent for
        the renewal term, the fair market rent will be determined in accordance
        with the appraisal provisions of the Metris lease.

                                      -26-


        Rental income for the initial 136-month term is summarized as follows:

                     -------------------------------------  ----------
                                                              Annual
                     -------------------------------------  ----------
                                     Dates                   Net Rent
                     -------------------------------------  ----------

                     September 2000 - December 2006          $4,960,445
                     January 2007 - December 2009             5,576,742
                     January 2010 - December 2010             6,178,008
                     January 2011 - December 2011             6,478,641

        While Metris was granted certain rental concessions under the Metris
        lease, Opus, the seller, has agreed to cover the free rent, so as to
        yield the above net effective rates to Wells OP. In addition, Metris is
        required to pay annual parking and storage fees of $132,384 through
        December 2006 and $164,052 payable on a monthly basis for the remainder
        of the lease term.

        Pursuant to the Metris lease, Metris is required to pay 100% of
        operating costs incurred by the landlord in maintaining and operating
        the Metris Minnetonka Building, including all property taxes, insurance
        premiums, maintenance and repair costs, steam, electricity, water,
        sewer, gas and other utility charges, fuel, lighting, window washing,
        janitorial services, and reasonable management fees (not to exceed 1.75%
        of gross revenues from the Metris Minnetonka Building), Wells OP, as the
        landlord, will be responsible for repair and maintenance of the
        foundations, exterior walls and roof of the Metris Minnetonka Building
        and the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
        systems.

        The Metris lease also contains a construction warranty pursuant to which
        the landlord has warranted to Metris that the tenant improvements and
        related materials, equipment and installation shall be free from defects
        in workmanship and shall conform to the plans and specifications. The
        landlord is obligated to repair, correct or replace, as necessary, any
        defective item occasioned by a breach of such warranty if notified by
        Metris within one year from the commencement date of the Metris lease.
        Pursuant to the Metris Agreement, however, Opus has assumed the
        obligation for any such repairs so long as Wells OP notifies Opus of any
        claims by Metris under the construction warranty no later than January
        20, 2002.

        The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Metris
        Minnetonka Building was $17.89 the first year of occupancy. The
        occupancy rate at year end was 100% for 2000.

        The Stone and Webster Building

        On December 21, 2000, Wells OP purchased a six-story office building
        with approximately 312,564 rentable square feet located at 1430 Enclave
        Parkway, Houston, Harris County, Texas (the "Stone and Webster
        Building"). Wells OP purchased this building from Cardinal Paragon, Inc.
        ("Cardinal") pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale of
        Property between Cardinal and Wells OP. Cardinal purchased the Stone and
        Webster Building in a sale-leaseback transaction from Enclave Parkway
        Realty Inc., an affiliate of Stone and Webster, Inc. ("Stone

                                      -27-


        and Webster"), on December 21, 2000. Cardinal is not in any way
        affiliated with the Wells REIT or our Advisor, Wells Capital, Inc.

        The purchase price of the Stone and Webster Building was $44,970,000.
        Wells OP also incurred additional acquisition expenses in connection
        with the purchase of the Stone and Webster Building, including
        attorneys' fees, recording fees, structural report and environmental
        report fees, and other closing costs, of approximately $45,000. In order
        to finance part of the acquisition of the Stone and Webster Building,
        Wells OP obtained an acquisition loan of $35,900,000 from Guaranty
        Federal Bank, F.S.B. ("Guaranty Federal Loan") and $3,000,000 in seller
        financing from Cardinal ("Seller Financing").

        The Guaranty Federal Loan in the amount of $35,900,000 requires monthly
        payments of interest only and matures on December 20, 2001. In the event
        that the principal balance of the loan is not repaid in full by March
        31, 2001, Wells OP is required to make a principal payment of $6,000,000
        on such date. The interest rate on the Guaranty Federal Loan is an
        annual variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate
        ("LIBOR") for a 30-day period plus 250 basis points if the principal
        balance of the loan is in excess of $25,900,000; 200 basis points if the
        principal balance of the loan is between $24,195,001 and $25,900,000;
        and 180 basis points if the principal balance of the loan is less or
        equal to $24,195,000. As of December 31, 2000, the principal balance of
        the Guaranty Federal Loan was $32,400,000. The Guaranty Federal Loan is
        secured by a first priority mortgage against the Stone and Webster
        Building.

        The Seller Financing consists of a $3,000,000 loan to Wells OP from
        Cardinal. The Seller Financing requires the payment of the full
        principal balance plus accrued interest on the earlier of: (i) December
        20, 2001, or (ii) the date that the Guaranty Federal Loan is repaid in
        full. The interest rate on the Seller Financing is 6% per annum. The
        Seller Financing is secured by a second priority mortgage against the
        Stone and Webster Bulding.

        The Stone and Webster Bulding, which was completed in 1994, is a
        six-story office building containing approximately 312,564 rentable
        square feet located on a 9.96-acre tract of land. In addition, this site

        right to extend the Stone and Webster lease for two additional five-year
        periods of time for a base rent equal to the greater of (i) the last
        year's rent, or (ii) the then-current fair market rental value. In the
        event that the parties cannot agree upon the fair market rental value,
        such value shall be determined in accordance with the appraisal
        procedure contained in the Stone and Webster lease. Stone and Webster is
        a full-service engineering and construction company offering managerial
        and technical resources for solving complex energy, environmental,

        AT&T-Oklahoma Buildings

        On December 28, 2000, the Wells Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture Partnership
        acquired a one-story office building and a two-story office building
        containing an aggregate of approximately 128,500 rentable square feet
        (the "AT&T-Oklahoma Buildings") on a 11.34 acre tract of land located in
        Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma from OKC Real Estate
        Investments, Inc.

        Wells Capital, Inc., as original purchaser under the agreement, assigned
        its rights under the agreement to the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture at
        closing. The purchase price for the AT&T-Oklahoma Buildings was
        $15,300,000. The Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture also incurred additional
        acquisition expenses in connection with the purchase of the
        AT&T-Oklahoma

                                      -29-


        Buildings, including attorney's fees, recording fees, and other closing
        costs of approximately $25,554. The purchase of the building was funded
        by capital contributions of $8,591,000 by Wells Fund XII and $6,736,554
        by Wells OP.

        The entire 78,500 rentable square feet of the two-story office building
        and 25,000 rentable square feet of the one-story office building are
        currently under a net lease agreement with AT&T Corp. ("AT&T"). The
        landlord's interest in the AT&T lease was assigned to the Fund XII-REIT
        Joint Venture at the closing. The AT&T lease commenced on April 1, 2000,
        and the initial term expires on November 30, 2010. AT&T has the right to
        extend the AT&T lease for two additional five-year periods of time at
        the then-current fair market rental rate upon delivering written notice
        within 240 days prior to expiration of the lease.

        AT&T is among the word's leading voice and data communications
        companies, serving consumers, businesses and governments worldwide. AT&T
        has one of the largest digital wireless networks in North America and is

        written consent from the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture before making any
        alterations to the premises in excess of $10,000.

        AT&T has a right of first offer for the space occupied by Jordan
        Associates, Inc. ("Jordan"), as described below, if Jordan vacates the
        premises before the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture can lease the space to a
        third party.

        Jordan currently occupies the remaining 25,000 rentable square feet
        contained in the one-story office building under a new lease agreement.
        The landlord's interest in the Jordan lease was also assigned to the
        Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture at the closing. The Jordan lease commenced
        on April 1, 1998, and the initial term expires on March 31, 2008. Jordan
        has the right to extend the Jordan lease for one additional five-year
        period of time at the then-current fair market rental rate upon

        Association. Jordan employs approximately 100 employees and has been in
        business for over 35 years.

        The base rent payable for the initial lease term of the Jordan lease is
        as follows: months 1 to 60--$294,500 and months 61 to 120--$332,000
        payable in equal monthly installments.

        Under the Jordan lease, Jordan is required to pay as additional monthly

        operating expenses with respect to its portion of the one-story
        building. In addition, Jordan is responsible for all routine maintenance

As of February 28, 2001, the Company had 35,055,988 shares of common stock
outstanding held by a total of 8,318 shareholders. The current offering price
per share is $10. There is no established public trading mark for the Company's
common stock. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, restrictions are
imposed on ownership and transfer of shares.

As set forth in the "ERISA Considerations--Annual Valuation" section of the
Company's Prospectus currently effective with the SEC, until December 31, 2002,
the per share net asset value shall be deemed to be the offering price of our
shares, which is currently $10.00 per share. This valuation is supported by the
fact that the Company is currently selling shares to the public at a price of
$10.00 per share.

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
taxable income for taxable years prior to 2001 and 90% of its taxable income for
all future years beginning with the year 2001. The Company intends to make
regular quarterly dividend distributions to holders of the shares. Dividends

Distribution

The fourth quarter dividend distributions, through December 15, for 2000 were
paid to shareholders in December 2000. Dividends for the period from December
16, 2000 to year-end will be paid to shareholders in March 2001. Although there
is no assurance, management of the Company anticipates that dividend
distributions to shareholders will continue in 2001 at a level at least
comparable with 2000 dividend distributions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Selected Financial Data and 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 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 shareholders in
the future and certain other matters. Readers of this Report should be aware
that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from any forward-looking statement made in the Report, which include
changes in general economic conditions, charges in real estate conditions
construction costs which may exceed estimates, construction delays, increases in
interest rates, 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

General

On January 30, 1998, the Company commenced a public offering of up to 16,500,000
shares of common stock at $10 per share pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company commenced active
operations on June 5, 1998, when it received and accepted subscription for
125,000 shares. The Company terminated its initial public offering on December
19, 1999. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $132,181,919 from
the sale of approximately 13,218,192 shares from its initial public offering.
The Company commenced its second public offering of shares of common stock of
the Wells REIT on December 20, 1999, which was terminated on December 19, 2000.
The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $175,229,193 from the sale
of approximately 17,522,919 shares from the second public offering. The Company
commenced its third public offering of the shares of common stock on December
20, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has received gross proceeds of
approximately $7,686,958 from the

                                      -33-


sale of approximately 768,696 shares from its third public offering.
Accordingly, as of December 31, 2000, the Company has received aggregate gross
offering proceeds of approximately $315,098,070 from the sale of 31,509,807
shares of its common stock to 7,422 investors. After payment of $10,978,981 in
Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Expenses, payment of $39,209,638 in selling
commissions and organization and offering expenses, capital contributions to
joint ventures and acquisitions expenditures by Wells OP of $262,118,082 in
property acquisitions, and common stock redemptions of $1,412,969 pursuant to
the Company's share redemption program, the Company was holding net offering
proceeds of $1,378,400 available for investment in properties, as of December
31, 2000.

Gross revenues of the Company of $23,373,206 for the year ended December 31,
2000 were attributable to rental income, interest income earned on funds held by
the Company prior to the investment in properties, and income earned from joint
ventures. Expenses of the Company were $14,820,239 for the year ended December
31, 2000, and consisted primarily of depreciation, rental expenses,
administrative, accounting fees, and printing expenses.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of raising
$180,387,220 in common stock capital contributions offset by acquisition and
advisory fees and expenses, commissions, offering costs, capital contributions
to joint ventures, and distributions received from joint ventures.

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 our status as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Company has made an election under Section 856 (c) of the Code be taxed as a
REIT under the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. 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 stockholders.
If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will 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.
However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner
as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2000. In
addition, the Company intends to continue to operate the Company so as to remain
qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had acquired an interest in 29 real estate
properties. These properties are generating sufficient cash flow to cover the
Company's operating expenses and pay dividends. The Company pays dividends on a
quarterly basis regardless of the frequency with which such distributions are
declared. Dividends will be paid to investors who are shareholders as of the
record dates selected by the Board of Directors. The Company currently
calculates quarterly dividends based upon daily record and dividend declaration
dates so shareholders will be entitled to be paid dividends immediately upon
their purchase of shares. Dividends declared during 2000 and 1999 totaled $.73
per share and $.70 per share, respectively.

On February 18, 1999, Wells OP entered into a Rental Income Guaranty Agreement
with the Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture (the "VIII-IX Joint Venture"). The Rental
Income Guaranty Agreement provided for a guarantee by Wells OP to the VIII-IX
Joint Venture that it would receive rental income on the Quest Building
(formerly the Bake Parkway Building) previously leased to Matsushita Avionics at
least equal to the rental and building expenses that the VIII-IX Joint Venture
would have received over the

                                      -34-


remaining term of its original lease with Matsushita Avionics. Matsushita
Avionics vacated the Quest Building in December 1999, with the existing lease
term ending in September 2003, in order to occupy the Matsushita Building
developed and constructed by Wells OP. On June 15, 2000, the Wells Fund VIII-
Fund IX-REIT Joint Venture (the "VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture") was formed between
Wells OP and the VIII-IX Joint Venture for purposes of owning and operating the
Quest Building. On July 1, 2000, the VIII-IX Joint Venture transferred the Quest
Building to the VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture as its capital contribution. Under
the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, Wells OP also guaranteed that, if a joint
venture such as the VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was ever formed by the parties
for the ownership and operation of the Quest Building, Wells OP would guaranty
to the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive monthly cash flow
distributions from such joint venture at least equal to the rent and building
expenses guaranteed under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement. Currently the
Quest Building is leased by Quest Software, Inc. (Quest) pursuant to a 42 month
lease that expires on December 31, 2003.

Wells OP had paid approximately $595,000 in rental income guaranty payments to
the VIII-IX Joint Venture through December 31, 2000, and will continue making
payments in the amount of $6,656 per month through January 2001 to cover initial
rental concessions granted to Quest in order to induce Quest to rent the Quest
Building. The Company's maximum liability exposure to the VIII-IX Joint Venture
for rental income and building expenses potentially payable under this Rental
Income Guaranty Agreement of approximately $3,000,000 was taken into account in
the economic analysis performed in making the determination to go forward with
the development of the Matsushita Building. Although the lease of the Quest
Building by Quest has substantially reduced the Company's financial exposure
under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, the Company cannot, at this time,
determine the amount of any future liability if Quest defaults or otherwise
fails to make the required payments under its lease. Wells OP continues to
guaranty payment under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement and, consequently,
continues to bear some risk, even though their risk has been substantially
minimized by the lease with Quest. Payments made to the VIII-IX Joint Venture
under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement are made from capital proceeds raised
and are being capitalized over the term of the lease with Matsushita Avionics
for the Matsushita Building.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $7,319,639 in 2000,
$4,008,275 in 1999 and $(275,549). The increase in net cash provided by
operating activities was due primarily to the purchase of additional properties
during 1999 and 2000.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Rental income increased in 2000 over 1999 and 1998 due primarily to the
increased occupancy level of the property. Other operating expenses were
negative for 2000, 1999 and 1998 due to an offset of tenant reimbursements in
operating costs, as well as management and leasing reimbursements. 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 tenant.
Total expenses decreased in 2000 due to a decrease in depreciation expense but
increased for 1999 over 1998 due to increased depreciation and management and
leasing fees as the building was leased up. The decrease in depreciation
resulted from an accelerated depreciation on tenant improvement for a short-term
lease in 1999 for 23,092 square feet.

Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company increased in 2000
over prior year levels due to a combination of increased rental income and

Rental income remained stable in 2000 as compared to 1999. 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 resulting from an appeal in 2000 was offset
by a common area maintenance reimbursement credit to the tenant. The Ohmeda
Building incurred property taxes of $227,495 for 2000, $249,707 for 1999 and
$143,962 for 1998.

Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company decreased in 2000, as
compared to 1999, due to decreased net income which resulted from the increase
in expenses discussed above.

Rental income increased due to a tenant occupying additional space previously
leased to another tenant at a lower rate. 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 current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled the
following year and the difference billed to the tenants. Management and leasing
expenses increased in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to differences in
adjustments for prior year billings to tenants. The 360 Interlocken Building
incurred property taxes of $268,744 for 2000, $244,025 for 1999 and $96,747 for
1998.

Net income and cash distributions allocated to the Company increased in 2000, as
compared to 1999, due primarily to the increase in net income.

Rental income, depreciation, and management and leasing fees remained stable in
2000, as compared to 1999, while other operating expenses are slightly lower,
due primarily to a one-time charge for consulting fees in 1999, which did not
occur in 2000. The tenant is responsible for property taxes. Since the Avaya
Building was purchased in June 1998, comparative income and expense figures are
available for only seven months of 1998.

Rental income increased in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to completion of the
parking lot complex in the second quarter of 1999. Total expenses increased in
2000, over 1999, due to an increase in depreciation and real estate tax expenses
relating to the new parking lot. Other operating expenses for 1998 are negative
due to tenant reimbursement reflected in this category which includes management
and leasing expense reimbursements. The Iomega Building incurred property taxes
of $76,754 for 2000, $73,020 for 1999, and $44,559 for 1998, the first year of
occupancy.

Net income and cash distribution allocated to the Company increased in 2000, as
compared to 1999, due primarily to the increase in net income.

Rental income remained stable in 2000 as compared to 1999. Other operating
expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to 1999, due
to a billing to the tenant for 2000 and 1999 insurance. Since the Cort Building
was purchased in July 1998, comparable income and expense figures for the prior
year are available for only five months. The tenant is responsible for property
taxes.

Rental income has remained stable in 2000 as compared to 1999. Other operating
expenses are negative due to increased common area maintenance billings in 2000.
Management and leasing fee reimbursement is also included in other operating
expenses. 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. There was no interest in 2000, as compared to 1999, as
the note related to this building was paid in the first quarter of 1999.

Since the PWC Building was purchased in December 1998, comparable income and
expense figures are available for only one month of 1998. The PWC Building
incurred property taxes of $289,281 for 2000 and $295,146 for 1999.

Other operating expenses are negative due to an offset of tenant reimbursements
in operating costs both for 2000 as well as the fourth quarter of 1999. Since
the Gartner Building was purchased in September 1999, the Company could not
estimate the amount to be billed for 1999 until the first quarter of 2000. The
Gartner Building incurred property taxes of $7,260 on the undeveloped lot for
2000.

Since the Gartner Building was purchased in September 1999, comparative income
and expense figures are available for only four months of 1999.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the
past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. There are provisions
in the majority of tenant leases to protect the Company from the impact of
inflation. These leases contain common area maintenance charges (CAM charges),
real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot bases, or in
some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per
square foot allowance. These provisions should reduce the Company's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WELLS REAL
ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. (a Maryland corporation) AND SUBSIDIARY as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements and the schedule referred to
below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wells Real Estate
Investment Trust, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule III--Real Estate Investments and
Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 2000 is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

     corporation that qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The
     Company is conducting an offering for the sale of a maximum of 125,000,000

     dividend reinvestment plan) shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
     share, at a price of $10 per share. The Company will seek to acquire and
     operate commercial properties, including, but not limited to, office
     buildings, shopping centers, business and industrial parks, and other
     commercial and industrial properties, including properties which are under
     construction, are newly constructed, or have been constructed and have
     operating histories. All such properties may be acquired, developed, and
     operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company is
     likely to enter into one or more joint ventures with affiliated entities

     Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Wells
     Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a Delaware
     limited partnership. During 1997, the Operating Partnership issued 20,000

     Webster Building, a six-story office building located in Houston, Texas;
     and (xv) the Metris Minnetonka Building, a nine-story office building
     located in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

     The Company owns an interest in one property through a joint venture
     between the Operating Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P.
     ("Wells Fund VIII"), and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. ("Wells Fund IX"),
     which is referred to as the Fund VIII, IX, and REIT Joint Venture. The
     Company also owns interests in several properties through a joint venture
     between the Operating Partnership, Wells Fund IX, Wells Real Estate Fund X,
     L.P. ("Wells Fund X"), and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. ("Wells Fund
     XI"). This joint venture is referred to as the Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI,
     and REIT Joint Venture ("Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture"). The
     Company owns two properties through joint venture

     Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Company

     The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     The carrying values of real estate are based on management's current intent
     to hold the real estate assets as long-term investments. The success of the
     Company's future operations and the ability to realize the investment in
     its assets will be dependent on the Company's ability to maintain rental
     rates, occupancy, and an appropriate level of operating expenses in future
     years. Management believes that the steps it is taking will enable the
     Company to realize its investment in its assets.

     Income Taxes

     The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with the taxable year
     ended December 31, 1998. As a result, the Company generally will not be
     subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it
     distributes annually at least 95% (90% beginning in 2001) of its REIT
     taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies
     certain other requirements. Additionally, the Operating Partnership is not
     subject to federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision has
     been made for federal or state

                                      F-8


     income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the
     years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

     Real Estate Assets

     Real estate assets held by the Company and joint ventures are stated at
     cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are
     capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related asset. All
     repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

     Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances which
     could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be
     recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances are present which
     indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be
     recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of real estate assets
     by determining whether the carrying value of such real estate assets will
     be recovered through the future cash flows expected from the use of the
     asset and its eventual disposition. Management has determined that there
     has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held by
     the Company or the joint ventures as of December 31, 2000.

     Depreciation of building and improvements is calculated using the straight-
     line method over 25 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the life
     of the related lease or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

     Revenue Recognition

     All leases on real estate assets held by the Company or the joint ventures
     are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income is
     recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective
     leases.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
     highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and
     short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which
     approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market
     accounts.

     Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs

     Costs incurred to procure operating leases are capitalized and amortized on
     a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

     Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of
     common shares outstanding during each period. The weighted average number
     of common shares outstanding is identical for basic and fully diluted
     earnings per share, as there is no dilutive impact created from the
     Company's stock option plan (Note 10) using the treasury stock method.

     Reclassifications

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

Investment in Joint Ventures

          Basis of Presentation

          The Operating Partnership does not have control over the operations of
          the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence.
          Accordingly, the Operating Partnership's investment in the joint
          ventures is recorded using the equity method of accounting.

          Partners' Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss

          Cash available for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to
          the Operating Partnership by the joint ventures are made in accordance
          with the terms of the individual joint venture agreements. Generally,
          these items are allocated in proportion to the partners' respective
          ownership interests. Cash is paid from the joint ventures to the
          Operating Partnership on a quarterly basis.

          Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs

          Costs incurred to procure operating leases are capitalized and
          amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related
          leases.

2.   DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS

     The Company paid a percentage of shareholder contributions to the Advisor
     for acquisition and advisory services. These payments, as stipulated in the
     prospectus, can be up to 3.5% of shareholder contributions, subject to
     certain overall limitations contained in the prospectus. Aggregate fees
     paid through December 31, 2000 were $10,978,981 and amounted to 3.5% of
     shareholders' contributions received. These fees are allocated to specific
     properties as they are purchased or developed and are included in
     capitalized assets of the joint ventures or real estate assets. Deferred
     project costs at December 31, 2000 and 1999 represent fees not yet applied
     to properties.

3.   DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

     Offering expenses, to the extent they exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds,
     will be paid by the Advisor and not by the Company. Offering expenses do
     not include sales or underwriting commissions but do include such costs as
     legal and accounting fees, printing costs, and other offering expenses.

     As of December 31, 2000, the Advisor paid offering expenses on behalf of
     the Company in the aggregate amount of $10,700,925, of which the Advisor
     was reimbursed $9,409,549, which did not exceed the 3% limitation. The
     unpaid portion of deferred offering costs is $1,291,376 and is included in
     due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company entered into a property management agreement with Wells Management
Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the Advisor. In
consideration for supervising the management and leasing of the Operating
Partnership's properties, the Operating Partnership will pay Wells Management
management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the gross
revenues generally paid over the life of the lease, or (b) 0.6% of the net asset
value of the properties (excluding vacant properties) owned by the Company,
calculated on an annual basis plus a separate competitive fee for the one-time
initial lease-up of newly constructed properties generally paid in conjunction
with the receipt of the first month's rent.

The Operating Partnership's portion of the management and leasing fees and lease
acquisition costs paid to Wells Management, both directly and at the joint
venture level, were $1,111,748, $336,517, and $0 for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

The Advisor performs certain administrative services for the Operating
Partnership, such as accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs
the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among the Operating
Partnership and the various Wells Real Estate Funds based on time spent on each
fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of management, such
allocation is a reasonable basis for allocating such expenses.

The Advisor is a general partner in various Wells Real Estate Funds. As such,
there may exist conflicts of interest where the Advisor, while serving in the
capacity as general partner for Wells Real Estate Funds, may be in competition
with the Operating Partnership for tenants in similar geographic markets.

9.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is not aware of any
     significant litigation or claims against the Company, the Operating
     Partnership, or the Advisor. In the normal course of business, the Company,
     the Operating Partnership, or the Advisor may become subject to such
     litigation or claims.

10.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Common Stock Option Plan

     The Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Independent Director Stock
     Option Plan ("the Plan") provides for grants of stock to be made to
     independent nonemployee directors of the Company. Options to purchase 2,500
     shares of common stock at $12 per share are granted upon initially becoming
     an independent director of the Company. Of these shares, 20% are
     exercisable immediately on the date of grant. An additional 20% of these
     shares become exercisable on each anniversary following the date of grant
     for a period of four years. Effective on the date of each annual meeting of
     shareholders of the Company, beginning in 2000, each independent director
     will be granted an option to purchase 1,000 additional shares of common
     stock. These options vest at the rate of 500 shares per full year of
     service thereafter. All options granted under the Plan expire no later than
     the date immediately following the tenth anniversary of the date of grant
     and may expire sooner in the event of the disability or death of the
     optionee or if the optionee ceases to serve as a director.

     The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions in SFAS No. 123,
     "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As permitted by the provisions
     of SFAS No. 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion
     No. 25 and the related interpretations in accounting for its stock option
     plans and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation cost.

     For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each stock option for 2000 and
     1999 has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the minimum value
     method. The weighted average risk-free interest rates assumed for 2000 and
     1999 were 6.45% and 5.97%, respectively. Dividend yields of 7.3% were
     assumed for both years. The expected life of an option was assumed to be
     four years and five years for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Based on these
     assumptions, the fair value of the options granted during 2000 and 1999 is
     $0.

     Treasury Stock

     During 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a dividend
     reinvestment program (the "DRP"), through which common shareholders may
     elect to reinvest an amount equal to the dividends declared on their common
     shares into additional shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of
     receiving cash dividends. During 2000, the Company's Board of Directors
     authorized a common stock repurchase plan subject to the amount reinvested
     in the Company's common shares through the DRP and 3% of the average common
     shares outstanding during the preceding year (the "limitations"). During
     2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized $2,436,495 in common
     stock repurchases. Accordingly, the Company repurchased 142,297 of its own
     common shares at an aggregate cost of $1,412,969. These transactions were
     funded with cash on hand and did not exceed either of the limitations.
