ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------------------

General

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a non-public
limited partnership as General Partners. The Partnership was formed on October
25, 1990, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating,
improving, leasing, and otherwise managing for investment purposes income
producing commercial or industrial properties.

On March 6, 1992, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $25,000,000 of
Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Partnership did not commence active operations until it received and accepted
subscriptions for a minimum of 125,000 units on April 27, 1992. The offering
was terminated on March 3, 1993, at which time the Partnership had sold
1,520,967 Class A Units and 179,635 Class B Units representing $17,006,020 of
capital contributions by investors who were admitted to the Partnership as
Limited Partners.

The Partnership owns interests in properties through its equity ownership in the
following joint ventures; (i) Fund IV and Fund V Associates, a joint venture
between the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. (the "Fund IV - Fund
V Joint Venture"); (ii) Fund V and Fund VI Associates, a joint venture between
the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture"); and (iii) Fund V, Fund VI, and Fund VII Associates, a joint venture
between the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate
Fund VII, L.P. (the "Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture").

As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties through its ownership of the foregoing joint ventures: (i) a four-
story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida ("IBM Jacksonville"),
which is owned by the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture; (ii) two substantially
identical two-story office buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia (the
"Village Overlook Project"), which are owned by the Fund IV - Fund V Joint
Venture; (iii) a four-story office building located in metropolitan Hartford,
Connecticut (the "Hartford Building"), which is owned by the Fund V - Fund VI
Joint Venture; (iv) two retail buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia
("Stockbridge Village II"), which are owned by the Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture; and (v) a three-story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin
(the "Marathon Building"), which is owned by the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture.
All of the foregoing properties were acquired on an all cash basis.

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
the sole general partner of Wells Partners, L.P., a General Partner of the
Partnership, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and
property management, accounting, asset management and

2


investor relations for the Partnership. See Item 11 - "Compensation of General
Partners and Affiliates" for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners
and their affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

Insurance

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, carries
comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the properties
owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership. In the opinion of management
of the registrant, the properties are adequately insured.

Competition

The Partnership will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers
of competing projects which may include the General Partners and their
affiliates. As a result, the Partnership may be required to provide free rent,
reduced charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all of which may
have an adverse impact on results of operations. At the time the Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will also be in competition
with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its
properties.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- --------------------

The Partnership owns interest in five properties through its investment in joint
ventures of which four are office buildings and one is a retail building. The
Partnership does not have control over the operations of the joint ventures;
however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investment in
joint ventures is recorded on the equity method. As of December 31, 1999, these
properties were 91% occupied, as compared to 94% at December 31, 1998 and 95% at
December 31, 1997.

Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture
- ------------------------------

On April 14, 1992, the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. ("Wells
Fund IV"), a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership
through common general partners, entered into a joint venture agreement known as
Fund IV and Fund V Associates (the "Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture"). The
investment objectives of Wells Fund IV are substantially identical to those of
the Partnership. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had contributed
approximately $8,032,509, and Wells Fund IV had contributed approximately
$4,820,355 to the Fund IV -Fund V Joint Venture. The Partnership holds an
approximate 62% equity interest, and Wells Fund IV holds an approximate 38%
equity interest in the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture. The Partnership owns
interests in the following two properties through the Fund IV - Fund V Joint
Venture:

4


The Jacksonville Property
- -------------------------

On June 8, 1992, the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture acquired 5.676 acres of real
property located in Jacksonville, Florida at a purchase price of $1,360,000 for
the purpose of developing, constructing, and operating a four-story office
building containing approximately 87,600 square feet (the "Jacksonville
Property"). As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership contributed $5,000,116,
and Wells Fund IV contributed $3,463,064 to the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture to
fund the acquisition and development of the Jacksonville Project.

The Jacksonville Property is leased primarily by International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM"), a computer sales and service corporation, and Customized
Transportation, Inc. ("CTI"), a division of CSX Railroad, a transportation
corporation.

The initial term of the IBM lease containing 68,100 square feet is 9 years and
11 months and commenced upon completion of the building in June 1993, with an
option to extend the initial lease for two consecutive five-year periods. The
annual base rent payable under the IBM lease during the initial term is
$1,122,478 payable in equal monthly installments of $93,540. IBM is also
required to pay additional rent equal to its share of operating expenses during
the lease term.

The term of the CTI lease containing 11,780 square feet is 7 years and commenced
in March, 1994. The annual base rent payable under the CTI lease is $325,965.

The occupancy rates for the Jacksonville Project at year end were 94% in 1999
and 1998 and 100% in 1997. The average effective annual rental per square foot
at the Jacksonville Property was $16.80 for 1999, $16.69 for 1998, $16.71 for
1997, 1996, and 1995.

The Village Overlook Property (formerly the Medical Center Property)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------

On September 14, 1992, the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture acquired 2.655 acres of
real property in Stockbridge, Georgia for $440,000 for the purpose of
constructing two substantially identical two-story office buildings containing
approximately 17,847 rentable square feet each (the "Village Overlook
Property"). As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had contributed $3,032,393,
and Wells Fund IV had contributed $1,357,291 to the Fund IV - Fund V Joint
Venture for the acquisition and development of the Village Overlook Property.

Occupancy decreased in 1999 to 62%, as compared to 92% in 1998 (on both
buildings) due to the fact that one major tenant, Georgia Baptist, who occupied
approximately 50% of the space did not renew their lease which expired May 31,
1999. Two new tenants have signed leases for a total of 7,332 rentable square
feet of space and moved in October 1, 1999. All efforts are being made by the
Partnership to lease the remaining 10,515 square feet of vacant space.

The occupancy rate for the Village Overlook Property at year end was 62% in
1999, 92% in 1998 and 81% in 1997. The average effective annual rental per
square foot at the Village Overlook Property was $ 12.75 for 1999, $13.46 for
1998, $10.93 for 1997, $11.83 for 1996 and $10.43 for 1995.

- ------------------------------

On December 27, 1993, The Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P.
("Wells Fund VI"), a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the
Partnership through common general partners, entered into a joint venture
agreement known as Fund V and Fund VI Associates (the "Fund V - Fund VI Joint
Venture"). The investment objectives of Wells Fund VI are substantially
identical to those of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership
had contributed approximately $4,544,601, and Wells Fund VI had contributed
approximately $5,329,541 to the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture. The Partnership

approximately 54% equity interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture. The

Fund VI Joint Venture:


The Hartford Building
- ---------------------

On December 29, 1993, the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture purchased the Hartford
Building, a four-story office building containing approximately 71,000 rentable
square feet from Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company for a purchase price
$6,900,000. The Hartford Building is located on 5.56 acres of land in
Southington, Hartford County, Connecticut. The funds used by the Fund V - Fund
VI Joint Venture to acquire the Hartford Building were derived from capital
contributions made by the Partnership and Wells Fund VI totaling $3,508,797 and
$3,432,707, respectively, for total capital contributions to the Fund V - Fund
VI Joint Venture of $6,941,504.

option to extend the initial term of the lease for two consecutive five year
periods. Under the terms of its lease, Hartford is responsible for property
taxes, operating expenses, general repair and maintenance work and a pro rata
share of capital expenditures based upon the number of years remaining in the
lease.

The occupancy rate for the Hartford Building at year end was 100% for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. The average effective annual rental per
square foot at the Hartford Building was $10.11 for 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and
1995.

- ----------------------

On November 12, 1993, the Partnership purchased 2.46 acres of real property
located in Clayton County, Georgia for $1,022,634. On July 1, 1994, the
Partnership contributed the property as a capital contribution to the Fund V -
Fund VI Joint Venture.

Construction of a 5,400 square foot retail building was completed in November,
1994. Construction of a second retail building containing approximately 10,423

PART II
-------

Item 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of February 29, 2000, the Partnership had 1,566,416 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,608 Limited Partners and 134,186 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 76 Limited Partners. The capital contribution per unit is
$10.00. There is no established public trading market for the Partnership's
limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading
market for the units will develop. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of units.

The General Partners have estimated the investment value of properties held by
the Partnership, as of December 31, 1999, to be $11.77 per Class A Unit and
$15.94 per Class B Unit based on market conditions existing in early December,
1999. This value was confirmed as reasonable by an independent MAI appraiser,
David L. Beal Company, although no actual MAI appraisal was performed due to the
inordinate expense involved with such an undertaking. The valuation does not
include any fractional interest valuation.

Cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners is distributed on a
quarterly basis unless Limited Partners select to have their cash distributions
paid monthly. Under the Partnership Agreement, distributions are allocated first
to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units until they have received cash
distributions in each fiscal year of the Partnership equal to 10% of their
adjusted capital contribution. After this preference is satisfied, the General
Partners will receive an amount of Net Cash from Operations equal to one-tenth
of the total amount of Net Cash from Operations distributed. Net Cash From
Operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement to mean Cash Flow, less
adequate cash reserves for other obligations of the Partnership for which there
is no provision, but are initially allocated none of the depreciation,
amortization, cost recovery and interest expense. These items are allocated to
Class B Unit holders until their capital account balances have been reduced to
zero. Therefore, the Limited Partners holding Class A Units will receive 90% of
Net Cash from Operations, and the General Partners will receive 10%. No Net
Cash from Operations will be distributed to Limited Partners holding Class B
Units. Cash distributions made to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units for
the two most recent fiscal years were as follows:



Per Class A Unit
----------------
Distributions For Total Cash Investment Return of
Quarter Ended Distribution Income Capital
------------------------------------------------------------


March 31, 1998 $289,025 $0.09 $0.10
June 30, 1998 $300,005 $0.14 $0.05
Sept. 30, 1998 $296,796 $0.08 $0.11
Dec. 31, 1998 $273,913 $0.09 $0.09
March 31, 1999 $283,810 $0.09 $0.09
June 30, 1999 $302,348 $0.14 $0.06
Sept. 30, 1999 $300,596 $0.07 $0.12
Dec. 31, 1999 $304,213 $0.10 $0.09


9


The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1999, and
was not actually paid to the limited partners holding Class A units until
February 2000. Even though there is no guarantee, the General Partners
anticipate that cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A units
will continue in 2000 at a level at least comparable with 1999 cash
distributions on an annual basis.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
- ---------------------------------

The Partnership commenced the offering on March 6, 1992, but did not commence
active operations until it received and accepted subscriptions for a minimum of
125,000 units on April 27, 1992.

The following sets forth a summary of the selected financial data for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATION.
- ---------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
selected financial data and the accompanying financial statements of the
Partnership and notes thereto. This Report

10


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 Partnership,
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 statement 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.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions
- ---------------------------------------------------------

General
- -------

Gross revenues of the Partnership were $706,291 for the year ended December 31,
1999, as compared to $708,264 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $633,247
for the year ended December 31, 1997. Interest income decreased from 1997 to
1998 and 1999 due to a greater amount of investor funds invested in interest
bearing accounts in 1997 than in 1998 and 1999. Gross revenues increased for
the years ended 1999 and 1998, as compared to 1997, due primarily to increased
equity in income from the joint ventures, due primarily to increased occupancy
at Stockbridge Village II.

Expenses of the Partnership were $80,612 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
$86,158 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $73,446 for the year ended
December 31, 1997. Expenses varied due primarily to fluctuations in partnership
administration expenses.

The Partnership made cash distributions to the Limited Partners holding Class A
Units of $.76 per Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1999, $.75 per
Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $.71 per Class A Unit for
the year ended December 31, 1997. No cash distributions were made to the
Limited Partners holding Class B Units. Distributions accrued for the fourth
quarter of 1999 were paid in February, 2000.

Rental income increased slightly in 1999 as compared to 1998 and 1997 due to
rental income for three months from a temporary tenant. Expenses decreased in
1999 as compared to 1998 due primarily to savings in various building operating
expenses. Cash distributions increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 and 1997 due
to the distribution of cash previously held in reserve. These reserves were
held to cover necessary tenant improvements which did not materialize. Net
income increased in 1999, as compared to 1998 and 1997 levels, due primarily to
savings in operating expenses.

The Jacksonville Property incurred property taxes of $182,936 for 1999, $188,333

Partnership $ 11,087 $ 51,542 $ (8,247)



Rental income for the Village Overlook Properties decreased in 1999 as compared
to 1998, due to a decrease in occupancy level. Occupancy decreased in 1999 to
62%, as compared to 92% in 1998 (on both buildings) due to the fact that one
major tenant, Georgia Baptist, who occupied approximately 50% of the space did
not renew their lease, which expired May 31, 1999. Two new tenants have signed
leases for a total of 7,332 rentable square feet of space and moved in October
1, 1999. All efforts are being made by the Partnership to lease the remaining
10,515 square feet of vacant space.

Operating expenses increased in 1999, as compared to 1998 and 1997, due
primarily to the resurfacing of the parking lot as well as the repairs of the
HVAC system in the buildings. Cash distributions allocated to the Partnership
decreased in 1999, compared to prior year levels due primarily to the loss in
revenue and the increase in operating expenses experienced in these properties.

The Village Overlook Properties incurred property taxes of $35,002 for 1999,
$36,862 for 1998 and $35,691 for 1997.

Net income decreased and expenses increased in 1999 and 1998, as compared to
1997, due primarily to an insurance reimbursement received in 1997 from the
tenant for prior year's expenses.

The Partnership's ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI Joint Venture decreased from
46.5% in 1997 and 1998, to 46.4% in 1999 due to additional fundings by Wells
Fund VI, which increased Wells Fund VI's ownership interest and decreased the
Partnership's ownership interest in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.

Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Partnership decreased in 1999
and 1998 as compared to 1997 due to the insurance reimbursement discussed above
and the decreased ownership in the joint venture.

Real estate taxes and all operational expenses for the building are the
responsibility of the tenant.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture
decreased to 46.4% in 1999 as compared to 46.5% in 1998 and 1997 due to
additional investments by Wells Fund VI which decreased the Partnership's

Real estate taxes and all operational expenses for the building are the
responsibility of the tenant.

Rental income remained relatively stable in 1999, 1998 and 1997. Management and
leasing fees increased, as compared to 1998, due to an underaccrual of fees in
1998. Operating expenses increased slightly due primarily to increases in
accounting and administrative fees.

Cash distribution to the Partnership and net income allocated to Partnership
remained relatively stable for 1999.

For comments on the general competitive conditions to which the property may be
subject, See Item 1, Business, page 2. For additional information on tenants,
etc., refer to Item 2, Properties, Page 3.

Liquidity and Capital Reserves
- ------------------------------

During its offering, which terminated on March 3, 1993, the Partnership raised a
total $17,006,020 in capital through the sale of 1,700,602 units. No additional
units will be sold by the Partnership. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership
incurred $3,145,282 in commission fees, acquisition fees, organization and
offering costs; invested $13,844,687 in properties; reserved $16,051 as working
capital reserves.

16


Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required
to maintain working capital reserves in an amount equal to the cash operating
expenses required to operate the Partnership for a six-month period not the be
reduced below 1% of Limited Partners' capital contributions. As set forth above,
in order to fund tenant improvements of approximately $154,009 the General
Partners have used a portion of the Partnership's working capital reserves to
reduce the balance below this minimum amount, rather than funding out of
operating cash flow. The General Partners anticipated that the remaining $16,051
in working capital reserves will be sufficient to meet its future needs.

The Partnership's net cash used in operating activities increased from $66,556
for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $77,135 for the year ended December 31,
1998 to $83,383 for the year ended December 31, 1999 primarily due to decreases
in interest income in 1999 and 1998 and changes in accounts payable. Net cash
provided by investing activities fluctuated from $966,869 in 1997 and $1,223,796
in 1998 and $1,201,675 in 1999, primarily due to changes in investments in joint
ventures and increases in distributions received from joint ventures. Cash used
in financing activities remained relatively stable for 1999 and 1998, but were
lower in 1997.

The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through the fourth quarter of
1999 have been paid from net cash from operations and from a return of capital.
The Partnership anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on a
quarterly basis from such sources.

The Partnership is unaware of any known demands, commitments, events or capital
expenditures other than that which is required for the normal operations of its
properties that will result in the Partnership's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way. The Partnership expects to meet liquidity
requirements and budget demands through cash flow from operations.

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 executed by the Partnership to protect the
Partnership from the impact of inflation. Most leases contain common area
maintenance 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. These provisions should reduce the
Partnership's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting
from inflation. In addition, a number of the Partnership's leases are for terms
of less than five years which may permit the Partnership to replace existing
leases with new leases at higher base rental rates if the existing leases are
below market rate. There is no assurance, however, that the Partnership would be
able to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals.

Year 2000
- ---------

The Partnership made the transition into the year 2000 without any information
systems, business operations or facilities related system problems. Management
believes that there are no other Y2K related issues that may require disclosure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND V,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and
the related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 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, 1999 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.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND V, L.P.

(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND 1997

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
partnership organized on October 25, 1990 under the laws of the state of
Georgia. The general partners are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners,
L.P. ("Wells Partners"), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership. The
Partnership has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and
Class B units. Class B limited partners shall have a one-time right to
elect to have all of their units treated as Class A units. Limited partners
may vote to, among other things, (a) amend the partnership agreement,
subject to certain limitations, (b) change the business purpose or
investment objectives of the Partnership, and (c) remove a general partner.
A majority vote on any of the above described matters will bind the
Partnership, without the concurrence of the general partners. Each limited
partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.

The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate commercial real
properties, including properties which are to be developed, are currently
under development or construction, are newly constructed, or have operating
histories. The Partnership owns an interest in the following properties
through joint ventures between the Partnership and other Wells Real Estate
Funds: (i) the Jacksonville IBM Building, a four-story office building
located in Jacksonville, Florida, (ii) the Village Overlook Project
(formerly known as the "Medical Center Project"), two substantially
identical two-story buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia, (iii) the
Stockbridge Village II property, two retail buildings located in Clayton
County, Georgia, (iv) the Hartford Building, a four-story office building
located in Southington, Connecticut, and (v) the Marathon Building, a
three-story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Partnership

The preparation of 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
Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize the investment
in its assets will be dependent on the Partnership'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 Partnership to realize its investment in its assets.

F-7


Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, and
therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial
statements. The partners are required to include their respective shares of
profits and losses in their individual income tax returns.

Distribution of Net Cash From Operations

Cash available for distribution, as defined by the partnership agreement,
is distributed to limited partners quarterly. In accordance with the
partnership agreement, distributions are paid first to limited partners
holding Class A units until they have received a 10% per annum return on
their adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Cash available for
distribution is then paid first to the general partners until they have
received an amount equal to 10% of distributions. Any remaining cash
available for distribution is split between the limited partners holding
Class A units and the general partners on a basis of 90% and 10%,
respectively. No distributions will be made to the limited partners holding
Class B units.

Distribution of Sales Proceeds

Upon sales of properties, the net sales proceeds are distributed in the
following order:

. To limited partners on a per unit basis until all limited
partners have received 100% of their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined

. To limited partners holding Class B units on a per unit basis
until they receive an amount equal to the net cash available for
distribution received by the limited partners holding Class A
units

. To all limited partners on a per unit basis until they receive a
cumulative 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined

. To limited partners holding Class B units on a per unit basis
until they receive a cumulative 15% per annum return on their
adjusted capital contributions, as defined

. To all limited partners until they receive an amount equal to
their respective cumulative distributions, as defined

. To all the general partners until they have received 100% of
their capital contribution, as defined

. Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the general
partners

Allocation of Net Income, Net Loss, and Gain on Sale

Net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership,
excluding deductions for depreciation, and amortization. Net income, as
defined, of the Partnership will be allocated each year in the same
proportions that net cash from operations is distributed to the partners.
To the extent the Partnership's net income in any year exceeds net cash
from operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to
the general partners.

F-8


Net loss, depreciation, and amortization deductions for each fiscal year
will be allocated as follows: (a) 99% to the limited partners holding Class
B units and 1% to the general partners until their capital accounts are
reduced to zero, (b) then to any partner having a positive balance in his
capital account in an amount not to exceed such positive balance, and (c)
thereafter to the general partners.

Gain on the sale or exchange of the Partnership's properties will be
allocated generally in the same manner that the net proceeds from such sale
are distributed to partners after the following allocations are made, if
applicable: (a) allocations made pursuant to a qualified income offset
provision in the partnership agreement, (b) allocations to partners having
negative capital accounts until all negative capital accounts have been
restored to zero, and (c) allocations to Class B limited partners in
amounts equal to deductions for depreciation and amortization previously
allocated to them with respect to the specific partnership property sold,
but not in excess of the amount of gain on sale recognized by the
Partnership with respect to the sale of such property.

Investment in Joint Ventures

Basis of Presentation. The Partnership does not have control over the
operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant
influence. Accordingly, investments in joint ventures are recorded using
the equity method of accounting.

Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets held by the 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 repairs 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 joint ventures as of December 31, 1999.

Depreciation for buildings and improvements is calculated using the
straight-line method over 25 years.

Revenue Recognition. All leases on real estate assets held by 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.

Partners' Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss. Cash available
for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the 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 Partnership quarterly.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents

F-9


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.

Per Unit Data

Net income per unit with respect to the Partnership for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 is computed based on the average number
of units outstanding during the period.

2. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliates at December 31, 1999 and 1998 represents the
Partnership's share of cash to be distributed from its joint venture
investments for the fourth quarters of 1999 and 1998, as follows:



1999 1998
-------- ---------

Fund IV and V Associates $168,172 $154,358
Fund V and VI Associates 91,847 107,472
Fund V, VI, and VII Associates 39,125 38,844
-------- --------
$299,144 $300,674
======== ========


The Partnership entered into a property management agreement with Wells
Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the general
partners. In consideration for supervising the management of the
Partnership's properties, the Partnership will generally pay Wells
Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) 3% of the gross
revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate
maximum of 6%) plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of
newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily
charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar services
in the same geographic area for similar properties or (b) in the case of
commercial properties which are leased on a long-term net basis (ten or
more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal
to 3% of the gross revenues over the first five years of the lease term.

The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
costs, at the joint venture level, of $173,723, $109,011, and $111,690 for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, which were
paid to Wells Management.

The Company performs certain administrative services for the Partnership,
such as accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs the
related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among 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
estimation of such expenses.

The general partners are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate
Funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the general
partners in the capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate
Funds may be in competition with the Partnership for tenants in similar
geographic markets.
