PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. ("Wells
Partners"), a Georgia non-public limited partnership, as General Partners. The
Partnership was formed on December 1, 1992, for the purpose of acquiring,
developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing and otherwise
managing for investment purposes income-producing commercial or industrial
properties. The Partnership has two classes of limited partnership interests,
Class A and Class B Units. Limited Partners have the right to change their prior
elections to have some or all of their units treated as Class A Units or Class B
Units one time during each quarterly accounting period. 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) add or 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.

On April 5, 1993, the Partnership commenced a public offering of up to its
limited partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form
S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership terminated its offering
on April 4, 1994, and received gross proceeds of $25,000,000 representing
subscriptions from 2,500,000 Limited Partners, composed of two classes of
limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B limited partnership units.

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.
and Wells Management Company, Inc. perform a full range of real estate services
including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and
investor relations for the Partnership. See item 11 - "Compensation of General
Partners and Affiliates" for a summary of the compensation and fees paid to the
General Partners and their affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2001.

Insurance

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, carries
comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all of the
properties by the Partnership through its interests in joint ventures. In the
opinion of management, all such 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 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.

basis, the General Partners are required under the Partnership Agreement to
report estimated Unit values to the Limited Partners each year in the
Partnership's annual Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining
such estimated Unit values under the Partnership Agreement is for the General
Partners to estimate the amount a Unit holder would receive if the Partnership's
properties were sold at their estimated fair market values as of the end of the
Partnership's fiscal year and the proceeds therefrom (without reduction for
selling expenses) were distributed to the Limited Partners in liquidation of the
Partnership. Utilizing this methodology, the General Partners have estimated
Unit valuations, based upon their estimates of property values as of December
31, 2001, to be approximately $9.02 per Class A Unit and $9.02 per Class B Unit,
based upon market conditions existing in early December 2001. In connection with
these estimated valuations, the General Partners obtained an opinion from David
L. Beal Company, an independent MAI appraiser, to the effect that such estimates
of value were reasonable; however, due to the inordinate expense involved in
obtaining appraisals for all of the Partnership's properties, no actual
appraisals were obtained. Accordingly, these estimates should not be viewed as
an accurate reflection of the fair market value of the Partnership's properties,
nor do they represent the amount of net proceeds which would result from an
immediate sale of the Partnership's properties. The valuations performed by the
General Partners are estimates only, and are based a number of assumptions which
may not be accurate or complete. In addition, property values are subject to
change and could decline in the future. Further, as set forth above, no
appraisals have or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated Unit
valuations set forth above should not be relied upon for any purpose other than
required ERISA disclosures.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There were no material pending legal proceedings or proceedings known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities involving the Partnership during 2001.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during 2001.

PART II

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

As of February 28, 2002, the Partnership had 2,236,361 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,659 Limited Partners and 263,639 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 180 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.

Cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners is distributed on a
quarterly basis unless Limited Partners elect to have their cash distributions
paid monthly. Under the Partnership Agreement, distributions from net cash from
operations are allocated first to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units
(and limited partners holding Class B Units that have elected a conversion right
that allows them to share in the distribution rights of limited partners holding
Class A Units) until they have received 10% of their adjusted capital
contributions. 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. Cash available for distribution is then distributed to the
General Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of cash
distributions previously distributed to the limited partners. 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. No
distributions have been made to the General Partner or holders of Class B Units
as of December 31, 2001.


11



Cash distributions made to Limited Partners holding Class A Units (and limited
partners holding Class B Units that have elected a conversion right) during 2000
and 2001 were as follows:

Per Class A Unit
-------------------------
Distribution Total

Fourth quarter distributions were accrued for accounting purposes in 2001 and
paid to the limited partners holding Class A Units in February 2002.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

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 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 statements
made in this Report, which include construction costs which may exceed
estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants
upon the expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to fund tenant
improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions

General

Gross revenues of the Partnership were $1,281,251, $1,107,788 and $1,056,568 for
the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 2001
increase over 2000 and 1999 was due primarily to the sale of Cherokee Commons in
2001 partially offset by fluctuations in interest income. Expenses of the
Partnership were $90,254 for the year ended 2001, as compared to $79,990 for
2000 and $86,955 for 1999. The change in expenses for 2001, as compared to 2000
and 1999 was primarily due to increased administrative salaries.

As a result, net income of the Partnership was $1,190,997, $1,027,798 and
$969,613 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Partnership made cash distributions of investment income and a return of
capital to Limited Partners holding Class A Units of $0.54, $0.47 and $0.58 per
Class A Unit for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, 1999, respectively.
The General Partners anticipate that distributions per unit to limited partners
holding Class A Units will continue in 2002. Distributions accrued for the
fourth quarter of 2001 to the Limited Partners holding Class A Units were paid
in February 2002. No cash distributions were made to Limited Partners holding
Class B Units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 to be
reduced below 1% of Limited Partners' capital contributions. As set forth above,
in order to fund tenant improvements at Stockbridge Village II, Stockbridge
Village I Expansion and at the Holcomb Bridge Property, the General Partners
have used $223,932 of the Partnership's working capital reserves to reduce the
balance below this minimum amount, rather than funding the tenant improvements
out of operating cash flow, which would have the effect of reducing cash flow
distributions to Limited Partners. The General Partners anticipate that the
remaining $26,068 in working capital reserves will be sufficient to meet its
future needs.

The Partnership's net cash used in operating activities increased to $87,744 for
the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $64,324 and $80,493 for the
years ended December 31 2000 and 1999, respectively. The


13



increase from 2000 to 2001 is primarily due to a decrease in interest income to
the Partnership and an increase in partnership expenses. The decrease in net
cash used in operating activities from 1999 to 2000 is due to an increase in
interest income to the Partnership and a decrease in partnership expenses. Net
cash provided by investing activities increased to $1,986,277 in 2001 from
$1,898,256 in 2000 and $1,855,362 in 1999 due primarily to decreased investments
in joint ventures partially offset by a decrease in joint venture distributions
received. Net cash used in financing activities were $1,899,493, $1,960,520 and
$1,765,314 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The fluctuations from year to year correlate with the fluctuations in
distributions received from joint ventures in investing activities. These
changes produced cash and cash equivalents of $27,895, $28,855 and $155,443 at
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Partnership is unaware of any known demands, commitments, events or capital
expenditures other than that which is required for the normal operations of the
properties in which it owns a joint venture interest 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. Since properties are acquired on an all-cash basis,
the partnership has no permanent, long-term liquidity requirements.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation during
the past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. There are
provisions in the majority of tenant leases 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 remaining 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Partnership's accounting policies have been established and conformed to in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies,
including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or
interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions
had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have
been applied; thus, resulting in a different presentation of our financial
statements. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider to
be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or
require estimates about matters, which are inherently uncertain. Additional
discussion of accounting policies that we consider to be significant, including
further discussion of the critical accounting policies described below, is
presented in the notes to the Partnership's financial statements in Item 14(a).

Straight-Lined Rental Revenues

The Partnership recognizes rental income generated from all leases on real
estate assets in which the Partnership has an ownership interest, either
directly or through investments in joint ventures, on a straight-line basis over
the terms of the respective leases. If a tenant was to encounter financial
difficulties in future periods, the amount recorded as receivables may not be
realized.


14



Operating Cost Reimbursements

The Partnership generally bills tenants for operating cost reimbursements,
either directly or through investments in joint ventures, on a monthly basis at
amounts estimated largely based on actual prior period activity and the
respective lease terms. Such billings are generally adjusted on an annual basis
to reflect reimbursements owed to the landlord based on the actual costs
incurred during the period and the respective lease terms. Financial
difficulties encountered by tenants may result in receivable not being realized.

Real Estate

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances indicating
that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which the Partnership has
an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures,
may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are
present, management assesses the potential impairment by comparing the fair
market value of the asset, estimated at an amount equal to the future
undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated from tenants over the
life of asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying value of the
asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair market
value, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss in the amount required
to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair market value.
Neither the Partnership nor its joint ventures have recognized impairment losses
on real estate assets in 2001, 2000 or 1999.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

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

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND VI,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and
the related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 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 VI, L.P.
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND VI, L.P.

(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000, AND 1999

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
partnership organized on December 1, 1992 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. Limited
partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of
their units treated as Class A units or Class B units once every five years.
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. During the
periods audited, the Partnership owned an interest in the following properties
through joint ventures between the Partnership and other Wells Real Estate
Funds: (i) a shopping center located in Cherokee County, Georgia ("Cherokee
Commons"), (ii) an office/retail center in Roswell, Georgia ("880 Holcomb
Bridge"), (iii) the Hartford Building, a four-story office building located in
Southington, Connecticut, (iv) the Stockbridge Village II property, two retail
buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia, (v) the Marathon Building, a
three-story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin, (vi) the Stockbridge
Village III Retail Center, two retail buildings located in Stockbridge, Georgia,
(vii) a retail center expansion in Stockbridge, Georgia ("Stockbridge
Expansion"), (viii) the BellSouth property, a four-story office building in
Jacksonville, Florida, and (ix) a retail shopping center in Clemmons, Forsyth
County, North Carolina ("Tanglewood Commons").

Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Partnership

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 Partnership recently began considering selling its properties. Management
estimates that the net realizable value of each of the properties exceeds the
carrying value of the corresponding real estate assets; consequently, no
impairment loss has been recorded. In the event that the net sales proceeds are
less than the carrying value of the property sold, the Partnership would
recognize a loss on the sale. Management is not contractually or financially
obligated to sell any of its properties, and it is management's current intent
to fully realize the Partnership's investment in real estate. 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


F-7



expenses in future years. Management believes that the steps that it is taking
will enable the Partnership to realize its investment in its assets.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes; 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 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 each limited partner
has received 100% of his/her adjusted capital contribution, 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 the general partners until they have received 100% of their
capital contributions, 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 holding Class A units and 1% to the general
partners.

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/her 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


F-8



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, (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, and (d) allocations to Class A limited partners and general
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 through investments in affiliated joint ventures
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and
betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful lives of the
related assets. All repairs and maintenance expenditures 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, 2001 or 2000.

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

Revenue Recognition

All leases on real estate 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 by 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. Deferred
lease acquisition costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets,
net, in the balance sheets presented in Note 3.


F-9



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 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 (loss) per unit, with respect to the Partnership for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, is computed based on the weighted average
number of units outstanding during the period.

Reclassifications

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

2. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliates at December 31, 2001 and 2000 represents the Partnership's
share of cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments for the
fourth quarters of 2001 and 2000, as follows:

2001 2000
-------- --------
Fund V and VI Associates $ 72,277 $115,089
Fund V, VI, and VII Associates 98,591 99,030

Fund II, III, VI, and VII Associates 47,427 26,572
-------- --------
$462,092 $480,960
======== ========

The Partnership entered into a property management and leasing 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 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 $156,226, $157,719, and $161,779 for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Wells Capital, Inc. (the "Company"), the general partner of Wells Partners,
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.


F-10



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
their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds may be in
competition with the Partnership for tenants in similar geographic markets.

Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII Associates--Cherokee

Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII Associates--Cherokee (or the "Cherokee Joint
Venture") was formed in August 1995 for the purpose of owning and operating
Cherokee Commons, a retail shopping center containing approximately 103,755
square feet, located in Cherokee County, Georgia. Until the formation of this
joint venture, Cherokee Commons was part of the Fund I and II Tucker--Cherokee
Joint Venture. Concurrent with the formation of Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII
Associates--Cherokee, Cherokee Commons was transferred from the Fund I and II
Tucker--Cherokee Joint Venture to the Cherokee Joint Venture. Percentage
ownership interests in the Cherokee Joint Venture were determined at the time of
formation based on relative capital contributions. Under the terms of the joint
venture agreement, Fund VI and Fund VII each contributed approximately $1
million in return for an 11% ownership interest. Fund I's ownership interest in
the Cherokee Joint Venture changed from 31% to 24%, and Fund II and II-OW joint
venture's ownership interest changed from 69% to 55%. The $2 million in cash
contributed to the Cherokee Joint Venture was used to fund an expansion of the
property for an existing tenant. On October 1, 2001, the Cherokee Joint Venture
sold Cherokee Commons for net proceeds of $8,434,089 and recognized a gain of
$1,725,015 on the sale.
