PART I
------

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., 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.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned interests in the following:
(i) a four-story office building located in Jacksonville, Florida; (ii) two
substantially identical two-story buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia;
(iii) two retail buildings located in Clayton County, Georgia; (iv) a four-story
office building located in metropolitan Hartford, Connecticut and (v) a three
story office building located in Appleton, Wisconsin. All of the foregoing
properties were acquired on an all-cash basis and are described in more detail
in Item 2 below.

EMPLOYEES

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
a General Partner of the Partnership, 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 fees paid to the General
Partners and their affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

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.

2


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, 1996, these
properties were 92.15% occupied, a change from 92.32% at December 31, 1995,
92.68% at December 31, 1994, 96.04% at December 31, 1993 and 76.98% At December
31, 1992.

The following table shows lease expirations during each of the next ten years
for all leases as of December 31, 1996, assuming no exercise of renewal options
or termination rights:

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

the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had contributed
approximately $7,719,249 and Wells Fund IV had contributed approximately
$4,736,173 to the Fund IV -Fund V Joint Venture. It is anticipated that the

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:

The Jacksonville Project
- ------------------------

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

IV - Fund V Joint Venture.

The Jacksonville Project 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 5 years and commenced
in March, 1994. The annual base rent payable under the CTI lease is $325,965.

1994, and 85% in 1993, the first year of occupancy. The average effective
annual rental per square foot at the Jacksonville Project was $16.71 for 1996
and 1995, $16.39 for 1994 and $14.19 for 1993.

The Medical Center Project
- --------------------------

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 "Medical Center Project").
It is anticipated that a total of approximately $4,200,000 will be required to
be contributed to the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture for the acquisition and
development of the Medical Center Project. As of December 31, 1996, the
Partnership had contributed $2,757,540 and Wells Fund IV had contributed
$1,296,226 to the Fund IV - Fund V Joint Venture for the acquisition and

this purpose, with any excess costs required to be funded out of operating cash
flow.

Construction on the first building at the Medical Center Project was completed
in March, 1993 and the building shell of the second building was completed in
April, 1994. Georgia Baptist, a medical health care and urgent care facility,
leased approximately 14,669 square feet in the first building for a term of six
years and has the option to extend the initial term of the lease for one five-
year period. The base rent payable per square foot ranges from $16.00 per month

$6,900,000. The Hartford Building is located on 5.56 acres of land in

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.

Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture.

The occupancy rate at the Stockbridge Village II Project was 61% for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The average effective annual rental per

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- --------------------------

There were no material pending legal proceedings or proceedings known to be
contemplated by governmental authorities involving the Partnership during 1996.


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

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during the fourth
quarter of 1996.


PART II
-------

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

As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had 1,551,416 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 1,594 Limited Partners and 149,186 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.

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. 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, 1995 $234,730 $0.15 $0.00
June 30, 1995 $290,973 $0.19 $0.00
Sept. 30, 1995 $245,957 $0.16 $0.00
Dec. 31, 1995 $247,721 $0.16 $0.00
March 31, 1996 $255,698 $0.17 $0.00
June 30, 1996 $238,363 $0.15 $0.00
Sept. 30, 1996 $265,182 $0.17 $0.00
Dec. 31, 1996 $246,996 $0.16 $0.00


8


The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1996, and
was not actually paid to the limited partners holding Class A units until
February 1997. Even though there is no guarantee, the General Partners
anticipate that cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A units
will continue in 1997 at a level at least comparable with 1996 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 ten

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 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 Partnerships were $590,839 for the year ended December 31,
1996, as compared to $764,624 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $656,958
for the year ended December 31, 1994. Interest income decreased from 1994 to
1995 and from 1995 to 1996 due to a greater amount of investor funds invested in
interest bearing accounts in 1994 than in 1995 and 1996. Gross revenues and net
income have increased for the year ended December 31, 1995 over 1994 levels due
chiefly to increased equity in income of joint ventures offset partially by the
decrease in interest income as discussed above. Gross revenues and net income
have decreased for the year 1996 as compared to 1995 due primarily to increased
depreciation expenses which decreased the equity in income of joint ventures.
Depreciation expense of the joint ventures increased from 1994 to 1995 to 1996
due to a change in the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements from
40 years to 25 years which became effective in the fourth quarter of 1995. For
further discussion of depreciation expense, please refer to the notes to the
accompanying financial statements.

Expenses of the Partnership decreased from $95,237 for the year ended December
31, 1994 to $74,985 for the year ended December 31, 1995 but increased to
$85,189 for the year ended December 31, 1996, due primarily to fluctuations in
legal and accounting costs.

The Partnership made cash distributions of investment income to the Limited
Partners holding Class A Units of $.65 per Class A Unit for the year ended
December 31, 1996, $.66 per Class A Unit for the year ended December 31, 1995
and $.51 for the year ended December 31, 1994. No cash distributions of
investment income were made to the Limited Partners holding Class B Units.
Distributions accrued for the fourth quarter of 1996 were paid in February,
1997.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets

10


and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of", which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121 establishes standards for
determining when impairment losses on long-lived assets have occurred and how
impairment losses should be measured. The joint ventures adopted SFAS No. 121,
effective January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material
to the financial statements of the joint ventures.

PROPERTY OPERATIONS

Rental income has stabilized for 1996 as compared to 1995 but was lower in 1994
due primarily to full occupancy for the entire years of 1996 and 1995, while
full occupancy for 1994 was achieved in August, 1994. Expenses increased due
primarily to depreciation increases in 1996 over 1995 and 1994 due to the change
in the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements which became
effective in the fourth quarter of 1995, as previously discussed

11


under the "General" section of "Results of Operations and Changes in Financial
Conditions". Cash distributions decreased slightly in 1996 compared to 1995
while distributions increased slightly in 1995 as compared to 1994 due primarily
to an increase in the Partnership's ownership interest in the project. Cash
fundings to the Joint Venture for construction were contributed by the
Partnership which increased the Partnership's ownership interest and decreased
Wells Fund IV's ownership interest in the Fund IV-Fund V Joint Venture
accordingly. Net income decreased in 1996 and 1995 from 1994 levels due
primarily to the change in depreciation method as discussed above.

The Jacksonville Project incurred property taxes of $172,732 for 1996, $149,856
for 1995, and $128,090 for 1994.

Net Income (loss) Allocated
to the Partnership $ (380) $ 38,630 $(19,611)



The 1994 net loss generated by the Medical Center Project related to the fact
that the second building, which opened in April, 1994, did not begin generating
rental revenues until November, 1994, while expenses of Building II such as
property taxes, building operating expenses,

12


administrative costs and depreciation commenced in April 1994. The net income of
Building I was not enough to offset the net loss of Building II in 1994.

Rental income increased in 1996 and 1995 over 1994 levels due to increased lease
up at the Medical Center Project. Occupancy increased to 67% (on both
buildings) in 1995 and remained the same in 1996 as compared to 58% in 1994.
Expenses have increased in 1996 and 1995 over 1994 levels due primarily to the
lease up of the buildings and a bad debt write off in 1996. Depreciation
increased in 1996 due to the change in the estimated useful lives
of building and improvements which became effective in the fourth quarter of
1995, as previously discussed under the "General" section of "Results of
Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions."

Cash distributions allocated to the Partnership have increased over prior year
levels due primarily to the lease up of the project and to the Partnership's
increased ownership interest in the Joint Venture. Cash fundings to the Joint
Venture for construction were contributed by the Partnership which increased its
ownership interest and decreased Wells Fund IV's ownership interest in the Fund
IV - Fund V Joint Venture.

The Medical Center Project incurred property taxes of $37,898 for 1996, $43,281
for 1995, and $43,303 for 1994.

Net Income Allocated to
the
Partnership $181,919 $227,788 $243,653



Net income decreased and expenses increased in 1996 over 1995 due primarily to
increased depreciation expenses. Net income increased and expenses decreased in
1995 as compared to 1994 due primarily to decreased expenditures for property
insurance and legal fees which was partially offset by an increase in
depreciation expense in the forth quarter of 1995 resulting from the change in
estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements, as previously discussed
under the "General" section of "Results of Operations and Changes in Financial
Conditions".

The Partnership's ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI Joint Venture decreased from
51.6% in 1994, to 47.6% in 1995 and to 47.5% in 1996 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 remained stable from 1996 as compared to 1995 but increased
in 1995 over 1994 due to the decrease in expenses offset by the Partnership's
decreased percentage ownership interest in the Joint Venture. Net income
allocated to the Partnership decreased in 1996 and 1995 as compared to 1994 due
to increased depreciation expenses and decreased ownership in the Fund V-Fund VI
Joint Venture as discussed above.

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

The Stockbridge Village II Project, consists of two retail buildings which
contain a total of approximately 15,950 square feet. The first building
containing 5,400 square feet was completed in November, 1994 and occupied by
Apple Restaurants, Inc. in December, 1994, resulting in 100% occupancy as of
December 31, 1994. The second building containing 10,550 square feet opened in
June, 1995. Glenn's Open Pit Bar-B-Que leased 4,303 square feet beginning in
July, 1995. 4,969 additional square feet have been leased in the second
building with occupancy in the first quarter of 1997.

Since the first building of the Stockbridge Village II Project opened in
December 1994, comparative income and expense figures for the year ended
December 31, 1994 are not available. In 1996 and 1995 there were increases in
depreciation expense due to the change in estimated useful lives of buildings
and improvements which became effective in the fourth quarter of 1995, as
previously discussed under the "General" section of "Results of Operations and
Changes in Financial Conditions".

15


The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund V - Fund VI Joint Venture
decreased to 47.5% in 1996 from 47.6% for 1995 and 51.6% in 1994 due to an
additional investments 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.

The Stockbridge Village II Project incurred property taxes of $22,835 for 1996,
$19,924 for 1995 and $14,200 for 1994.

Rental income for 1996 and 1995 was the same. Since the Marathon Building was
purchased in September 1994, comparative income and expense figures for the year
December 31, 1994, are not available. Depreciation expense increased for 1996
compared to 1995 due to the recording of a full year's expense reflecting the
change in estimated useful lives which was made beginning in the fourth quarter
of 1995. In 1995, there was an increase in depreciation expense, as compared to
1994, due to the change in estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements
as previously discussed under "General" section of "Results of Operations and
Changes in

16


Financial Conditions". Other operating expenses decreased from
$25,557 in 1995 to $14,636 in 1996 due primarily to payment of legal and
administrative expenses associated with the first year of operating the
property.

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

The Partnership has an equity interest of 16.46% in the Marathon Property
through its ownership in the Fund V-VI-VII Joint Venture.

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, 1996, the Partnership
incurred $3,145,281 in commission fees, acquisition fees, organization and
offering costs; invested $13,601,356 in properties; reserved $170,060 as working
capital reserves; and the remainder of approximately $90,000 is reserved and
committed for investment in the Fund IV - Fund V Medical Center Project. No
funds have been reserved by the Partnership for investment in the Fund V - Fund
VI Stockbridge Village II Project.

The Partnership is required to maintain working capital reserves in an amount
equal to the cash operating expenses estimated to be required to operate the
Partnership for a six month period, not to exceed 3% or be reduced below 1% of
offering proceeds available for investment in properties. The General Partners
believe such working capital reserves will be adequate.

The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased from
$(59,699) for the year ended December 31, 1994 to $5,659 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 but decreased to $(3,672) for the year ended December 31, 1996
primarily due to decreases in interest income in 1994, 1995 and 1996, increases
in Joint Venture distributions received in 1994, 1995 and 1996 and increases in
Partnership distributions paid. Net cash used in investing activities decreased
from $2,366,507 in 1994 to $233,501 in 1995 and $225 in 1996 primarily due to
decreased investments in Joint Ventures.

The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through the fourth quarter of
1996 have been paid from net cash from operations, and 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.

17


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 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.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND V, L.P.

(A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994


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., a
Georgia nonpublic limited partnership. The Partnership has two classes of
limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B 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 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 several properties through joint ventures
between the Partnership and other Wells Real Estate funds, as follows: (i) the
Jacksonville IBM Building, a four-story office building located in Jacksonville,
Florida, (ii) 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 (Note 4).


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 the real estate assets 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 upon the Partnership's ability to maintain rental
rates, occupancy, and an appropriate level

F-8


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.

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 on a quarterly basis. In accordance with the
partnership agreement, distributions are paid first to limited partners holding
Class A units until they have received a 10% 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 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

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

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

F-9


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, amortization, and cost recovery. 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.

Net loss, depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery 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, amortization, and cost recovery 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.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121
establishes standards for determining when impairment losses on long-lived
assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be measured. The joint
ventures adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting
SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements of the joint ventures.

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 amount of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management
assesses the recoverability of real estate

F-10


assets under SFAS No. 121 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, 1996.

Depreciation for buildings and improvements is calculated using the straight-
line method over the useful lives of the real estate assets. Effective
October 1, 1995 the joint ventures revised their estimate of the useful lives of
buildings and improvements from 40 to 25 years. This change was made to better
reflect the estimated periods during which such assets will remain in service.
The change had the effect on the Partnership, through its ownership interest in
joint ventures, of increasing depreciation expense approximately $48,889 in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and $204,394 in the year ended December 31, 1996.

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 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, 1996, 1995, and 1994 is computed based on the weighted average
number of units outstanding during the period.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1995 and 1994 items have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
financial statement presentation.

F-11


2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS

The Partnership pays a percentage of limited partner contributions to Wells
Capital, Inc. (the "Company") for acquisition and advisory services. These
payments, as stipulated by the partnership agreement, can be up to 6% of the
limited partner contributions, subject to certain overall limitations contained
in the partnership agreement. Fees paid through December 31, 1996 were $935,331
and amounted to 5.5% of the limited partner 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. Deferred project costs at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 represent fees not yet applied to properties.


3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliates at December 31, 1996 and 1995 represents the Partnership's
share of cash to be distributed for the fourth quarters of 1996 and 1995, as
follows:

1996 1995
-------- --------
Fund IV and V Associates $134,054 $129,007
Fund V and VI Associates 89,458 96,699
Fund V, VI, and VII Associates 35,248 34,422
-------- --------
$258,760 $260,128
======== ========

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 $174,834, $167,711, and $140,847 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, 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, while
serving in the

F-12


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

FUND V AND VI ASSOCIATES

On December 27, 1993, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
with Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Fund VI"). The joint venture, Fund V and
VI Associates, was formed for the purpose of investing in commercial real
properties. In December 1993, the joint venture purchased a 71,000-square-foot,
four-story office building known as the Hartford Building in Southington,
Connecticut. One June 26, 1994, the Partnership contributed its interest in a
parcel of land, the Stockbridge Village II property, to the joint venture. The
Stockbridge Village II property consists of two separate restaurants and began
operations during 1995. A portion of this property is still under development
as of December 31, 1996.
