CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW (the Partnership) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will, expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, believe, continue, or other similar words. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the Partnership nor the general partners make any representations or warranties (expressed or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; provide distributions to limited partners; and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements:
General economic risks
| | Adverse changes in general economic conditions or local conditions; |
| | Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of one or more of our tenants; |
Real estate risks
| | Our ability to achieve appropriate occupancy levels resulting in sufficient rental amounts; |
| | Supply of or demand for similar or competing rentable space, which may adversely impact our ability to retain or obtain new tenants at lease expiration at acceptable rental amounts; |
| | Tenant ability or willingness to satisfy obligations relating to our existing lease agreements; |
| | Our potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs, or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow; |
| | Increases in property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, and other costs at our properties; |
| | Our ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates to avoid uninsured losses or losses in excess of insured amounts; |
| | Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions at our properties; |
Page 2
| | Unexpected costs of capital expenditures related to tenant build-out projects or other unforeseen capital expenditures; |
| | Our ability to sell a property when desirable at an acceptable return, including the ability of the purchaser to satisfy any continuing obligations to us; |
Other operational risks
| | Our dependency on Wells Capital, Inc., our corporate General Partner, its key personnel, and its affiliates for various administrative services; |
| | Wells Capital, Inc.s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide acceptable service levels to us and generate economies of scale for us over time; |
| | Increases in our administrative operating expenses, including increased expenses associated with operating as a public company; |
| | Changes in governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance; |
| | Our ability to prove compliance with any governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning in the event that any such position is questioned by the respective authority; and |
| | Actions of our joint venture partners including potential bankruptcy, business interests differing from ours, or other actions that may adversely impact the operations of joint ventures. |

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED)
| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (a) | General |
Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW (the Partnership) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. (Wells Capital), a Georgia corporation, serving as its general partners (collectively, the General Partners). The Partnership was formed on October 13, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing properties for investment purposes. 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 above-described matters will bind the Partnership without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit generally has equal voting rights regardless of class.
On November 6, 1987, the Partnership commenced a public offering of 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 September 7, 1988, upon receiving gross offering proceeds of $1,922,000 for 7,688 Class A and Class B limited partner units at $250 per unit from 219 limited partners.
The Partnership owns interests in all of its real estate assets through a joint venture with Fund II and Fund II-OW, which owns interests in real estate assets both directly and through joint ventures with other Wells Real Estate Funds. During the periods presented, the Partnership owned interests in the following five properties through the affiliated joint ventures listed below (the Joint Ventures):
| Joint Venture | Joint Venture Partners | Properties | ||
| Fund II and Fund II-OW (Fund II-IIOW Associates) |
Wells Real Estate Fund II Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW |

| Fund I and Fund II Tucker (Fund I-II Tucker Associates) |
Wells Real Estate Fund I Fund II-IIOW Associates |
2. Heritage Place A retail and commercial office complex located in Tucker, Georgia | ||
| Fund II and Fund III Associates (Fund II-III Associates ) |
Fund II-IIOW Associates Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. |
3. Boeing at the Atrium A four-story office building located in Houston, Texas | ||

Page 9
further information regarding the foregoing Joint Ventures and properties, refer to the report filed for the Partnership on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
On April 7, 2003, Fund I-II Tucker Associates sold the retail portion of Heritage Place, which comprises approximately 30% of the total premises, to an unrelated third party for a gross selling price of $3,400,000. As a result of this sale, net sales proceeds of approximately $82,000 and a gain of approximately $7,000 were allocated to the Partnership in the second quarter of 2003.
| (b) | Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and in accordance with such rules and regulations, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partners, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary to fairly present the results for such periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnerships Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
| (c) | Allocations of Net Income, Net Loss, and Gain on Sale |
For the purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreement, net income is defined generally as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery and gain on the sale of assets. Net income, as defined, of the Partnership is generally allocated each year in the same proportions that net cash from operations is distributed to the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners. To the extent the Partnerships 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, and amortization deductions for each fiscal year are 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 Partnerships properties will be allocated as follows: (a) first to partners having negative capital accounts, if any, until all negative capital accounts have been restored to zero; (b) then to the limited partners in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) each limited partners adjusted capital contribution, plus a cumulative 12% per annum return on his adjusted capital contribution, less the sum of all prior distributions of cash flow from operations previously made to such limited partner, over (ii) such limited partners capital account balance as of the sale date, subject to the requirement to initially allocate gain on sale to limited partners holding Class B Units until they have been allocated an amount equal to the net cash available for distribution previously received by limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis; (c) then to the General Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) each General Partners adjusted capital contribution, less the sum of all prior distributions of cash flow from operations previously made to such General Partners, over (ii) such General Partners capital account balance as of the sale date; and (d) thereafter 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partners.
Page 10
| (d) | Distributions of Net Cash From Operations |
Cash available for distribution, if available, is generally distributed to limited partners quarterly. In accordance with the partnership agreement, distributions are paid first to each limited partner holding Class A Units until he has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Cash available for distribution is then distributed to each limited partner holding Class B Units until he has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Excess cash available for distribution will be distributed to the General Partners until each has received 10% of total distributions to each limited partner for the year. Thereafter, cash available for distribution is distributed 90% to limited partners and 10% to the General Partners.
| 2. | INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES |
| (a) | Basis of Presentation |
The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, the Partnerships investment in Fund II-IIOW Associates and the Joint Ventures are recorded using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for contributions, distributions, and net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership. For further information, refer to the report filed for the Partnership on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
