CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (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. Specifically, among others, we consider statements concerning projections of future operating results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of future distributions to limited partners to be forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date that 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-K, 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. 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 follow:

 

General economic risks

 

    Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions; and

 

    Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of one or more tenants in properties owned by our joint ventures.

 

Real estate risks

 

    Ability to achieve appropriate occupancy levels resulting in rental amounts sufficient to cover operating costs;

 

    Supply of or demand for similar or competing rentable space, which may adversely impact retaining or obtaining new tenants upon lease expiration at acceptable rental amounts;

 

    Tenant ability or willingness to satisfy obligations relating to our existing lease agreements;

 

    Potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs, or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow or net sale proceeds;

 

    Increases in property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, and other costs not recoverable from tenants;

    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;

 

    Unexpected costs of capital expenditures related to tenant build-out projects or other unforeseen capital expenditures; and

 

    Ability to sell a property when desirable at an acceptable return, including the ability of the purchaser to satisfy any and all closing conditions.

 

Other operational risks

 

    Dependency on Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), the corporate general partner of one of our General Partners, its key personnel, and its affiliates for various administrative services;

 

    Wells Capital’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 in the current regulatory environment;

 

    Changes in governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;

 

    Ability to demonstrate compliance with any governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning law or regulation 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.

PART I

 

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.

 

General

 

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. (“Wells Partners”), a Georgia non-public limited partnership, serving as its general partners (the “General Partners”). Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”) serves as the corporate general partner of Wells Partners. Wells Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the sole owner of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. The Partnership was formed on October 25, 1990, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, 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. 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 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 partner unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.

 

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 filed on Form S-11 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 approximately 1,520,967 Class A Units and 179,635 Class B Units representing capital contributions of $17,006,020.

 

Management believes that the Partnership typically operates through the following five key life cycle phases. The duration of each phase is dependent upon various economic, industry, market, and other internal/external factors. Some overlap naturally exists in the transition from one phase to the next.

 

    Fundraising phase

The period during which the Partnership is raising capital through the sale and issuance of limited partner units to the public;

 

    Investing phase

The period during which the Partnership invests the capital raised during the fund-raising phase, less upfront fees, into the acquisition of real estate assets;

 

    Holding phase

The period during which real estate assets are owned and operated by the Partnership during the initial lease terms of the tenants;

 

    Positioning-for-sale phase

The period during which the leases in place at the time of acquisition expire and, thus, the Partnership expends time, effort, and funds to re-lease such space to existing and/or new tenants. Following the holding phase, the Partnership continues to own and operate the real estate assets, evaluate various options for disposition, and market the real estate assets for sale; and

 

    Disposition-and-liquidation phase

The period during which the Partnership sells its real estate investments, distributes net sale proceeds to the partners, liquidates, and terminates the Partnership.

 

Page 4


Table of Contents

The Partnership has moved from the positioning-for-sale phase into the disposition-and-liquidation phase of its life cycle and, accordingly, is focusing on re-leasing and marketing efforts that will result in the best disposition price for the remaining assets.

 

Employees

 

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital and Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management, and investor relations for the Partnership. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners and their affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Insurance

 

Wells Management carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to the properties owned by the Partnership through its investments in joint ventures. In the opinion of management of the registrant, 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, in connection with negotiating leases, the Partnership may offer rental concessions, reduced charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on results of operations. The Partnership is also in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its properties.

The Joint Ventures and properties in which the Partnership owned an interest during the periods presented are described below:

 

Fund IV-V Associates

 

In April 1992, Fund IV-V Associates was formed for the purpose of developing, constructing, owning, and operating commercial properties. During the periods presented, the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. owned equity interests of approximately 62% and 38%, respectively, in the following properties based on their respective cumulative capital contributions to Fund IV-V Associates:

 

Village Overlook Property

 

In September 1992, Fund IV-V Associates acquired 2.655 acres of real property in Stockbridge, Georgia for the purpose of constructing two substantially identical two-story office buildings containing approximately 17,850 rentable square feet each (the “Village Overlook Property”). On September 29, 2003, Fund IV-V Associates sold the Village Overlook Property to an unrelated third party for a gross selling price of $5,300,000. As a result of this sale, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,114,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $1,140,000.

 

10407 Centurion Parkway North

 

In June 1992, Fund IV-V Associates acquired approximately 5.676 acres of real property located in Jacksonville, Florida for the purpose of developing, constructing, and operating a four-story office building containing approximately 87,600 square feet (“10407 Centurion Parkway North”). Approximately 62,400 square feet (or approximately 70%) of 10407 Centurion Parkway North was leased primarily to International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), a computer sales and service corporation, from April 1993 through April 2003.

 

During 2004, Fund IV-V Associates entered into a lease with Synovus Bank for approximately 19,000 square feet (or approximately 22% of the property) for a term of eleven years commencing on June 1, 2004. In connection with negotiating the Synovus Bank lease, Fund IV-V Associates agreed to absorb free rent for twelve months. Beginning June 1, 2005, annual base rent will be approximately $326,000 and increases each June until the lease expiration. The annualized base rent for the Synovus Bank lease for the last year of the lease is approximately $390,000. Additionally, a lease was executed with ADP, Inc. for approximately 32,000 square feet (or approximately 36% of the property) to commence on July 1, 2004 for a term of five years and five months. Fund IV-V Associates will absorb free rent for seven months. Beginning February 1, 2005 the annual base rent was approximately $543,000 and increases approximately 3% each December. Two other tenants, Kaplan Company and Commercial Jacksonville, Inc. lease approximately 2% and 3% of 10407 Centurion Parkway North, respectively. Management is actively marketing the property to prospective tenants.

 

Fund V-VI Associates

 

In December 1993, Fund V-VI Associates was formed for the purpose of owning and operating commercial properties. During the periods presented, the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. owned equity interests of approximately 46% and 54%, respectively, in the following properties based on their respective cumulative capital contributions to Fund V-VI Associates:

 

Hartford Building

 

In December 1993, Fund V-VI Associates purchased the Hartford Building, a four-story office building containing approximately 71,000 rentable square feet, from Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company. The Hartford Building is located on approximately 5.56 acres of land located in Southington, Connecticut. On August 12, 2003, Fund V-VI Associates sold the Hartford Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $8,925,000, less agreed-upon credits of $457,500. As a result of this sale, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,800,000 and gain of approximately $1,200,000 were allocated to the Partnership.

In November 1993, the Partnership purchased approximately 2.46 acres of real property located in Clayton County, Stockbridge, Georgia. On July 1, 1994, the Partnership contributed the property as a capital contribution to Fund V-VI Associates. Construction of an approximately 5,400 square feet retail building was completed in November 1994. A second retail building containing approximately 10,400 square feet was completed in June 1995. On April 29, 2004, four affiliated joint ventures, including Fund V-VI Associates, sold five real properties, including Stockbridge Village II, to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $23,750,000. As a result of the sale of Stockbridge Village II, the Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $1,300,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $156,000.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of its business. We are not currently involved in any litigation for which the outcome would, in the judgment of the General Partners based on information currently available, have a materially adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us. In addition, no legal proceedings were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

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 2004.

 

PART II

 

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

 

Summary

 

As of February 28, 2005, 1,575,567 Class A Units and 125,036 Class B Units held by a total of 1,567 and 85 limited partners, respectively, were outstanding. Capital contributions are equal to $10.00 per each limited partnership unit. A public trading market has not been established for the Partnership’s limited partnership units, nor is such a market anticipated to develop in the future. The partnership agreement provides the General Partners with the right to prohibit transfers of units at their discretion.

 

Unit Valuation

 

Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and IRA custodians are required to determine and report the value of the assets held in their respective plans or accounts on an annual basis, the General Partners are required under the partnership agreement to report estimated unit values each year in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining such estimated unit values under the partnership agreement requires the General Partners to estimate the amount a unit holder would receive assuming that 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 any reduction for selling expenses), plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by the Partnership at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation. The estimated unit valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units.

 

Utilizing the foregoing methodology and based upon market conditions existing in early December 2004, the General Partners have estimated the Partnership’s unit valuations, based upon their estimates of property values as of December 31, 2004, to be approximately $5.19 per Class A Unit and $5.13 per Class B Unit,. These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners’ units, what limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Partnership’s properties, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Partnership’s properties were sold and the proceeds distributed in a liquidation of the Partnership. 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 ever develop. In addition, property values are subject to change and could decline in the future. While, as required by the partnership agreement, the General Partners have obtained an opinion from The David L. Beal Company, an independent MAI appraiser, to the effect that such estimates of value were deemed reasonable and were prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate, no actual appraisals were obtained due to the inordinate expense which would be involved in obtaining appraisals for all of the Partnership’s properties.

 

 

Page 8


Table of Contents

The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only, and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. For example, as a result of the availability of conversion elections under the partnership agreement and the resulting complexities involved relating to the distribution methodology under the partnership agreement, each limited partnership unit of the Partnership potentially has its own unique characteristics as to distributions and value. These estimated valuations assume, and are applicable only to, limited partners who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement and who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units. Further, as set forth above, no third-party appraisals have or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated unit valuations set forth above should not be used by or relied upon by investors, other than fiduciaries of retirement plans and IRA custodians for limited ERISA and IRA reporting purposes, as any indication of the fair market value of their units. In addition, it should be noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians may use estimated unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Partnership’s units in secondary market trades, and that such estimated unit valuations may well be lower than those estimated by the General Partners using the methodology required by the partnership agreement.

 

It should also be noted that the Partnership is in the process of selling certain of its properties and that, as properties are sold and the net proceeds from property sales are distributed to limited partners, the remaining value of the Partnership’s portfolio of properties, and resulting value of Partnership’s limited partnership units, will naturally decline. In considering the foregoing estimated unit valuations, it should be noted that the Partnership has previously distributed net sale proceeds in the amount of $2.82 per Class A Unit and $2.82 per Class B Unit to its limited partners.

 

Operating cash available for distribution to the limited partners is generally distributed on a quarterly basis. Under the partnership agreement, distributions from net cash from operations are paid first to limited partners holding Class A Units until each limited partner has received a 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Additional 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 of net cash from operations will be made to the limited partners holding Class B Units.

 

Operating cash distributions made to limited partners holding Class A Units during 2003 and 2004 are summarized below:

The Partnership reserved operating distributions to limited partners since the fourth quarter of 2003 primarily due to declines in operating cash flows resulting from the sales of the Village Overlook Property and the Hartford Building in the third quarter of 2003 and of Stockbridge Village III in the second quarter of 2004, and funding ongoing re-leasing costs for 10407 Centurion Parkway North and the Marathon Building. No operating cash distributions were paid to holders of Class B Units or the General Partners in 2004 or 2003.

(a)   Overview

 

Portfolio Overview

 

The Partnership has moved from the positioning-for-sale phase into the disposition-and-liquidation phase of its life cycle. We have sold four assets with the closing of the Marathon Building in December 2004. Our focus on the remaining asset involves re-leasing and marketing efforts that we believe will result in the best disposition pricing for our investors.

 

During 2004, we accomplished a number of goals. First, we completed two property dispositions, Stockbridge Village II and the Marathon Building, representing significant progress through the disposition-and-liquidation phase. The recent Marathon Building sale capitalized on the currently strong investor demand for well-leased office properties. Second, we increased occupancy at 10407 Centurion Parkway North, which had significant vacancy at the beginning of the year. Lastly, we made two distributions of net sale proceeds to limited partners totaling approximately $4,793,000, and announced the next net sale proceeds distribution to limited partners, which is scheduled for the second quarter 2005, totaling approximately $2,350,000 from the sales of the Village Overlook Property, Stockbridge Village II, and the Marathon Building.

 

With only one property remaining in the Partnership, the General Partners are currently reserving operating cash and the remaining net sale proceeds from the sale of the Marathon Building to fund the re-leasing costs anticipated for the remaining vacancy at 10407 Centurion Parkway North. We anticipate that operating distributions will continue to be reserved in the near term, as re-leasing occurs at this property, particularly since operating cash flow has decreased with the recent sales of Stockbridge Village II and the Marathon Building in 2004. Once the outcome of the property re-leasing effort is known, the General Partners will evaluate if further distributions of net sale proceeds are appropriate.

 

Property Summary

 

Information related to the properties owned by the Joint Ventures follows:

 

    The Village Overlook Property was sold in 2003. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,114,000, of which approximately $637,000 was used to fund the Partnership’s pro-rata share of operating expenses, re-leasing costs, and capital expenditures at the Marathon Building and 10407 Centurion Parkway North. Net sale proceeds of approximately $2,221,000 were distributed to the limited partners in November 2004, and the remaining proceeds of approximately $256,000 is currently scheduled to be distributed in the second quarter 2005.

 

    The leasing efforts at 10407 Centurion Parkway North continue. Three leases executed in 2004 have increased the building occupancy to approximately 63%, and we continue to pursue leasing opportunities for the remaining vacant space.

 

Page 11


Table of Contents
    The Hartford Building was sold in 2003. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,780,000, of which approximately $1,209,000 was used to fund the Partnership’s pro-rata share of operating expenses, re-leasing costs, and capital expenditures at the Marathon Building and 10407 Centurion Parkway North. Approximately $1,507,000 of the net sale proceeds were distributed to limited partners in January 2004. The remaining proceeds of approximately $1,065,000 were distributed in November 2004.

 

    The Stockbridge Village II property was sold on April 29, 2004, and the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,255,000. These proceeds are currently scheduled to be distributed to the limited partners in the second quarter 2005.

 

    The Marathon Building was sold in December 2004, following the re-stabilization of the asset with two long-term leases. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,634,000 in January 2005, and approximately $839,000 is currently scheduled to be distributed to the limited partners in the second quarter 2005. As set forth above, the remaining proceeds are being reserved to fund the Partnership’s pro rata share of the re-leasing costs for the remaining vacant space at 10407 Centurion Parkway North.

 

As we move further into the disposition-and-liquidation phase, we will continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space and space that may become vacant upon the expiration of our current leases. In doing so, we seek to maximize returns to the limited partners by negotiating long-term leases at market rental rates while attempting to minimize down time, re-leasing expenditures, ongoing property level costs, and portfolio costs. As properties are positioned for sale, our attention will shift to locating suitable buyers and negotiating purchase and sale contracts that will attempt to maximize the total return to the limited partners and minimize contingencies and our post-closing involvement with the buyers.

 

Industry Factors

 

Our results continue to be impacted by a number of factors influencing the real estate industry.

 

General Economic and Real Estate Market Commentary

 

Management reviews a number of economic forecasts and market commentaries in order to evaluate general economic conditions and formulate a view of the current environment’s effect on the real estate markets in which we operate.

 

Management believes that the U.S. economy is continuing on the path of slow, but steady recovery. Job growth is improving, with 2.2 million jobs created in 2004, and with another 2.4 to 2.8 million projected to be added in 2005. Gross Domestic Product growth and renewed business confidence are fueling the job growth. However, uncertainty still exists in the economy, primarily due to high oil prices, the war in Iraq, the trade deficit, and other global issues.

 

The U.S. office real estate market has begun to show modest improvement. The strength of the overall economy is having a positive impact on office real estate fundamentals. Positive absorption of office space combined with a decline in new construction has contributed to the increase in office occupancy rates for three consecutive quarters. Although occupancy rates have increased, management does not expect that they will rise by more than 200 basis points annually. As a result, management anticipates that it could be a minimum of two to three years before vacancy rates reach the equilibrium level of ten to twelve percent. Average asking rates stabilized in the second half of 2004. Management believes that renewed employment growth should benefit the office market; however, the uncertainty that still exists in the economy is causing many firms to continue to be more cautious with their investment and hiring decisions. Importantly, management believes the pace and strength of the recovery for office real estate will vary by market. Market conditions vary widely by geographical region, metropolitan area, submarket, and property.

 

The real estate capital transaction market continues to be very active. Capitalization rates (“cap rates”) have continued to decline in spite of the fact that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased the Federal Funds Rate five times in 2004. Management believes that the decline in cap rates is predominately driven by increased capital flows into real estate. The spread between average cap rates and 10-year U.S. Treasuries narrowed in 2004; however, this was primarily due to a drop in cap rates rather than a rise in 10-year U.S. Treasuries. In management’s opinion, absent a significant move in interest rates or a significant decrease in the number of parties interested in acquiring real estate, cap rates are not expected to significantly increase from their current levels in 2005.

Real Estate Funds with Current Vacancy or Near-term Rollover Exposure

 

Real estate funds, such as the Partnership, that contain properties with current vacancies or near-term tenant rollover may face a challenging leasing environment. The properties within these funds will generally face lower rents and higher concession packages to the tenants in order to re-lease vacant space.

 

From a valuation standpoint, it is generally preferable to either renew an existing tenant lease or re-lease the property prior to marketing it for sale. Generally, buyers will heavily discount their offering prices to compensate for existing or pending vacancies.

 

(b)   Results of Operations

 

Equity in Income of Joint Ventures

 

Equity in income of Joint Ventures was $486,870, $2,461,789, and $519,893 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The 2004 decrease is primarily attributable to (i) a significant decrease in occupancy of 10407 Centurion Parkway North beginning in the second quarter of 2003; (ii) a decrease in operating income from the Marathon Building resulting from entering into two new leases that were effective January 2004 at the current prevailing market rates, which were less than the rates previously charged; (iii) an increase in depreciation expense as a result of placing tenant improvements into service at the Marathon Building in the first quarter of 2004; (iv) foregone operating income due to the sales of the Hartford Building in August 2003, the Village Overlook Property in September 2003, and Stockbridge Village II in April 2004, partially offset by (v) a gain recognized on the sale of Stockbridge Village II in April 2004, (vi) a decline in depreciation expense for all buildings owned through the Joint Ventures due to changing the estimated weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years effective July 1, 2004, and (vii) the gain recognized on the December 2004 sale of the Marathon Building.

 

The 2003 increase, as compared to 2002, in equity in income of Joint Ventures resulted primarily from the gains recognized from the sales of the Hartford Building by Fund V-VI Associates in August 2003 and the Village Overlook Property by Fund IV-V Associates in September 2003.

 

We expect future equity in income of Joint Ventures to decline as we continue to sell properties in subsequent periods.

 

Expenses of the Partnership

 

Expenses of the Partnership were $162,435, $110,088, and $117,114 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The 2004 increase is primarily due to higher administrative salaries, accounting fees, legal fees, postage and delivery, and printing costs associated with increased reporting and regulatory requirements. The 2003 decrease, as compared to 2002, is primarily due to a decrease in legal and other professional fees, partially offset by increases in accounting fees and printing and notebooks. We anticipate additional increases related to implementing and adhering to such reporting and regulatory requirements on a going-forward basis.

 

(c)   Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our operating strategy entails funding expenses related to the recurring operations of the properties owned by the Joint Ventures with operating cash flows, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund portfolio expenses, known re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows are distributed from the Joint Ventures to the Partnership, and are considered available for distribution to the limited partners. Distributions are generally paid to the limited partners quarterly. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash position is critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources are available. Economic downturns in one or more of our core markets could adversely impact the ability of the Joint Ventures’ tenants to honor lease payments and our ability to assist the Joint Ventures in re-leasing space on favorable terms as leases expire or space otherwise becomes vacant. In the event of either situation, cash flows and, consequently, our ability to provide funding for capital needs would be adversely affected.

 

Page 13


Table of Contents

Short-Term Liquidity

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we generated net operating cash flows, including operating distributions received from the Joint Ventures, of approximately $(35,000), as compared to approximately $332,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $1,081,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The 2004 decline is primarily attributable to a corresponding decline in operating distributions received from the Joint Ventures described below. Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. Operating cash flows are generally used to pay operating distributions to limited partners; however, we reserved such distributions for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our General Partners anticipate continuing to reserve such distributions until the occupancy of 10407 Centurion Parkway North increases and the related re-leasing costs are funded.

 

Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures have declined in 2004 as a result of (i) absorbing rent abatements for the Marathon Building, and (ii) forgone cash flows resulting from the sales of properties in previous and current periods. Operating distributions and are expected to continue to be reserved as we sell the remaining property. Future operating distributions paid to limited partners will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated from the Joint Ventures, our expectations of future cash flows, and determination of near-term cash needs for tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for properties owned by the Joint Ventures.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we received net proceeds from the sale of Stockbridge Village II of approximately $1,255,000. During the same period, we invested net sale proceeds of approximately $1,465,000 and net operating cash flows of approximately $28,000 in the Joint Ventures in order to fund building improvements and re-leasing costs for 10407 Centurion Parkway North, tenant improvements for the Marathon Building, and utilized approximately $80,000 of net sale proceeds to fund Partnership operations. We distributed net sale proceeds of approximately $1,507,000 and approximately $3,286,000 to limited partners in January 2004 and November 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, net property sale proceeds from the December 29, 2004 sale of the Marathon Building of approximately $1,634,000 allocated to the Partnership were held at Fund V-VI-VII Associates and transferred to the Partnership in January 2005.

 

We believe that the cash on hand and distributions due from the Joint Ventures are sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including liabilities of approximately $18,000 as of December 31, 2004. During 2005, our General Partners anticipate that we will fund our proportionate share of the remaining capital expenditures for 10407 Centurion Parkway North, which are necessary to prepare the remaining vacant space (approximately 37% of the building) for leasing.

 

Long-Term Liquidity

 

We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from operating cash flows generated from the Fund IV-V Associates, and net proceeds generated from the strategic sale of the remaining property. Our future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, renovations, expansions, and other significant capital improvements necessary for the remaining property owned through the Fund IV-V Associates. We expect to continue to use substantially all future net cash flows from operations. Future cash flows from operating activities will be primarily effected by distributions received from the Fund IV-V Associates, which are dependent upon net operating income generated by the remaining property, less reserves for known capital expenditures.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Partnership is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating income-producing real properties or investing in joint ventures formed for the same purpose, and has invested all of the partners’ original capital contributions. Thus, it is unlikely that we will acquire interests in any additional properties or joint ventures. Historically, our investment strategy has generally involved acquiring properties that are pre-leased to creditworthy tenants on an all cash basis through joint ventures with affiliated partnerships.

 

Page 14


Table of Contents

The Joint Ventures fund capital expenditures primarily related to building improvements for the purpose of maintaining the quality of our properties, and tenant improvements for the purpose of readying its properties for re-leasing. As leases expire, we will work with the Joint Ventures to attempt to re-lease space to an existing tenant or market the space to prospective new tenants. Generally, tenant improvements funded in connection with lease renewals require less capital than those funded in connection with new leases. However, external conditions, such as the supply of and demand for comparable space available within a given market, drive capital costs as well as rental rates. Any capital or other expenditures not provided for by the operations of the Joint Ventures will be funded by the Partnership and respective Joint Venture partners on a pro-rata basis.

 

Operating cash flows, if available, are generally distributed from the Joint Ventures to the Partnership during the first month following each calendar quarter-end. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flows until depleted, at which point operating reserves are utilized to fund capital and other required expenditures. In the event that current and prior period accumulated operating cash flows are insufficient to fund such costs, net property sale proceeds reserves would then be utilized.

 

As of December 31, 2004, we have received, used, and held net proceeds from the sale of properties as presented below:

As of December 31, 2004, net property sale proceeds from the December 29, 2004 sale of the Marathon Building of approximately $1,634,000 allocated to the Partnership were held at Fund V-VI-VII Associates and transferred to the Partnership in January 2005. Upon evaluating the capital needs of the properties in which we currently hold an interest, our General Partners determined that reserves of net sale proceeds of approximately $795,000 will be required to fund the Partnership’s pro rata share of the costs anticipated in connection with re-leasing 10407 Centurion Parkway North. Our General Partners anticipate distributing residual net sale proceeds of approximately $2,350,000 in the second quarter of 2005 as further described below.

(d)   Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

 

In December 2004, the General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $2,350,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to the limited partners of record as of March 31, 2005, which, under the terms of the Partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after December 31, 2004. Of the total net property sale proceeds attributable to the Partnership of approximately $3,145,000 as of December 31, 2004, approximately $1,511,000 was held by the Partnership, and approximately $1,634,000 was held by Fund V-VI-VII Associates. Following the aforementioned intended distributions the Partnership will hold residual proceeds of approximately $795,000 in reserve in order to fund future operating costs of the Partnership.

 

This distribution has not been formally declared by the General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary for the Partnership at the sole discretion of the General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution date require the General Partners to reevaluate the Partnership’s reserve requirements, it is possible that this distribution may not occur, or that distributions may be made at a lower amount.

 

(e)   Contingencies

 

Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III, our General Partner, Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of our other General Partners, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.

 

As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the “Original Complaint”) was filed by four individuals (the “plaintiffs”) against Wells Real Estate Fund I, and Wells Capital, and Leo F. Wells, III (collectively, “the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I”), as well as Wells Management and Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”) (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Real Estate Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, WIS, and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984 - September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Real Estate Fund I by making false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Real Estate Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

 

Page 16


Table of Contents

On or about November 24, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Real Estate Fund I (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6) (the “Hendry Action”). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things, (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Real Estate Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Real Estate Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

 

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the General Partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their respective duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

 

The Hendry Action states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary defendant and that the plaintiffs are seeking no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. Since the partnership agreement of Wells Real Estate Fund I contains no provision for advancing defense costs to the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I in connection with litigation involving the partnership in instances where the plaintiffs are seeking no monetary relief from the partnership, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, currently Wells Capital, are funding the legal fees, costs, and expenses relating to this litigation. As of December 31, 2004, Wells Capital had incurred approximately $32,000 in legal fees, costs, and expenses related to defending the Hendry Action. At this time, management is unable to determine whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.

 

(f)   Related-Party Transactions

 

Management and Leasing Fees and Administration Reimbursements

 

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital, Wells Management, an affiliate of our General Partners, and their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management, and their affiliates for asset management, the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties; administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration; and incur the related expenses. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a description of these fees and expense reimbursements incurred by the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Our General Partners are also general partners of other affiliated public limited partnerships (the “Wells Real Estate Funds”). In addition, Wells Capital sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains residual interests. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Partnership with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

Table of Contents
(g)   Inflation

 

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. However, there are provisions in the majority of tenant leases which would protect the Partnership from the impact of inflation. These provisions include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through 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. There is no assurance, however, that we would be able to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rental rates.

 

(h)   Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform to 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 management’s 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 the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies used by the Partnership and the Joint Ventures, which are considered to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Investment in Real Estate Assets

 

We will be required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. We will consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of the Partnership’s assets by class are as follows:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   10-25 years

Land improvements

   20 years

Tenant improvements

   Lease term

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Ventures completed a review of their real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of their real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Ventures changed their estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $62,975 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice. This change has no impact on the amount of depreciation allocated to the limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

 

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

 

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in the Joint Ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to the fair value and recognizes an impairment loss. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets we held as of December 31, 2004.

Table of Contents

Projections of expected future cash flows require management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the overstatement of the carrying value of real estate assets held by the Joint Ventures and net income of the Partnership.

 

(i)   Economic Dependency

 

We have engaged Wells Management to supervise the management and leasing of properties owned through the Joint Ventures, and Wells Capital to perform certain administrative services, including accounting, shareholder communications, and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon Wells Management, Wells Capital, and other affiliates thereof to provide certain services that are essential to our operations, including asset management and property management services, asset acquisition and disposition services, and other administrative responsibilities under agreements, some of which have terms of one year or less.

 

Wells Management, Wells Capital, and WIS are owned and controlled by and comprise substantially all of the operations of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). Due to their common ownership and importance to WREF, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF is to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, it may become necessary for the Partnership and/or the Joint Venture to find alternative service providers.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, operating revenues for WREF on a consolidated basis exceeded operating expenses by approximately $5.8 million, and WREF is also expecting revenues to exceed expenses during 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, operating expenses for WREF exceeded operating revenues by $11.6 million. During 2004, WREF incurred net losses primarily due to the fact that revenues from acquisition, advisory, asset management services, and property management services were less than the costs to provide such services. In planning for 2004, WREF anticipated incurring short-term losses and, accordingly, reserved funds adequate to cover such a shortfall. WREF anticipated generating lower revenues in 2004, as compared to 2003, primarily due to the fact that the majority of its revenues are earned as a percentage of gross investment proceeds raised by the sale of securities issued by affiliated investment products. Gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“REIT II”), an investment product sponsored by WREF whose offering commenced in December 2003, were anticipated to be significantly less in 2004 than offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“REIT I”), another investment product sponsored by WREF whose offering closed in December 2003. Consistent with sale of shares of REIT I during the beginning of its offering period, the sale of shares of REIT II was anticipated to remain relatively low during the beginning of its offering period.

 

Additionally, we are dependent upon the ability of our current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as the rents become due. The inability of a tenant to pay future rental amounts would have a negative impact on our results of operations.

 

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Since we do not borrow any money, make any foreign investments, or invest in any market risk-sensitive instruments, we are not subject to risks relating to interest rates, foreign current exchange rate fluctuations, or the other market risks contemplated by Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

 

Our financial statements and supplementary data are detailed under Item 15(a) and filed as part of the report on the pages indicated.

 

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

There were no disagreements with the Partnership’s independent registered public accountants during the years ended December 31, 2004 or 2003.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

The Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of one of our General Partners, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

There were no significant changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9B.    OTHER INFORMATION.

 

For the quarter ended December 31, 2004, all items required to be disclosed under Form 8-K were reported under Form 8-K.

 

PART III

 

ITEM 10.    GENERAL PARTNERS OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

 

Wells Partners

 

The sole general partner of Wells Partners, one of our General Partners, is Wells Capital, a Georgia corporation. The executive offices of Wells Capital are located at 6200 The Corners Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092. Wells Capital was organized on April 18, 1984 under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, and is primarily in the business of serving as general partner or as an affiliate to the general partner in affiliated public limited partnerships (“Wells Real Estate Funds”) and as the advisor to the Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REITs”), each a Maryland corporation which qualifies as a real estate investment trust. In these capacities, Wells Capital performs certain services for the Wells Real Estate Funds and the Wells REITs, including presenting, structuring, and acquiring real estate investment opportunities, entering into leases and service contracts on acquired properties, arranging for and completing the disposition of properties, and providing other services such as accounting and administrative functions. Wells Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., of which Leo F. Wells, III is the sole stockholder.

 

Leo F. Wells, III

 

Mr. Wells, 61, who serves as one of our General Partners, is the President, Treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, which is the corporate general partner of our other General Partner. He is also the sole stockholder, President, and sole director of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., the parent corporation of Wells Capital, Wells Management, WIS, and Wells & Associates, Inc., a real estate brokerage and investment company formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1978, for which Mr. Wells serves as principal broker. He is also the President, Treasurer, and sole director of:

 

    Wells Management, our property manager;
    Wells & Associates, Inc.; and
    Wells Development Corporation, a company he organized in 1997 to develop real properties.

 

Mr. Wells is the President and a director of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., which are both real estate investment trusts formed under Maryland law.

 

Mr. Wells was a real estate salesman and property manager from 1970 to 1973 for Roy D. Warren & Company, an Atlanta-based real estate company, and he was associated from 1973 to 1976 with Sax Gaskin Real Estate Company. From 1980 to February 1985 he served as Vice President of Hill-Johnson, Inc., a Georgia corporation engaged in the construction business. Mr. Wells holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in economics from the University of Georgia. Mr. Wells is a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA).

On August 26, 2003, Mr. Wells and WIS entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the NASD relating to alleged rule violations. The AWC set forth the NASD’s findings that WIS and Mr. Wells had violated conduct rules relating to the provision of non-cash compensation of more than $100 to associated persons of NASD member firms in connection with their attendance at the annual educational and due diligence conferences sponsored by WIS in 2001 and 2002. Without admitting or denying the allegations and findings against them, WIS and Mr. Wells consented in the AWC to various findings by the NASD which are summarized in the following paragraph:

 

In 2001 and 2002, WIS sponsored conferences attended by registered representatives who sold its real estate investment products. WIS also paid for certain expenses of guests of the registered representatives who attended the conferences. In 2001, WIS paid the costs of travel to the conference and meals for many of the guests, and paid the costs of playing golf for some of the registered representatives and their guests. WIS later invoiced registered representatives for the cost of golf and for travel expenses of guests, but was not fully reimbursed for such. In 2002, WIS paid for meals for the guests. WIS also conditioned most of the 2001 conference invitations on attainment by the registered representatives of a predetermined sales goal for WIS products. This conduct violated the prohibitions against payment and receipt of non-cash compensation in connection with the sales of these products contained in NASD’s Conduct Rules 2710, 2810, and 3060. In addition, WIS and Mr. Wells failed to adhere to all of the terms of their written undertaking made in March 2001 not to engage in the conduct described above, and thereby engaged in conduct that was inconsistent with high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 2110.

 

WIS consented to a censure and Mr. Wells consented to suspension from acting in a principal capacity with an NASD member firm for one year. WIS and Mr. Wells also agreed to the imposition of a joint and several fine in the amount of $150,000. Mr. Wells’ one-year suspension from acting in a principal capacity ended on October 6, 2004. Mr. Wells continues to engage in selling efforts and other nonprincipal activities on behalf of WIS.

 

On or about November 24, 2004, a putative class action complaint, the Hendry Action, was filed by four individuals against Wells Capital and Mr. Wells, the general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, Wells Real Estate Fund I, Wells Management, and WIS, an affiliate of the General Partners. See Part I, Item 7 for additional information regarding the Hendry Action.

 

Financial Oversight Committee

 

The Partnership does not have a board of directors or an audit committee. Accordingly, as the corporate general partner of one of the General Partners of the Partnership, Wells Capital has established a Financial Oversight Committee consisting of Leo F. Wells, III, as the Principal Executive Officer; Douglas P. Williams, as the Principal Financial Officer; and Randall D. Fretz, as the Chief of Staff, of Wells Capital. The Financial Oversight Committee serves the equivalent function of an audit committee for, among others, the following purposes: appointment, compensation, review and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accountants, and establishing and enforcing the code of ethics. However, since the Partnership and General Partners do not have an audit committee and the Financial Oversight Committee is not independent of the Partnership or the General Partners, the Partnership does not have an “audit committee financial expert.”

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Financial Oversight Committee has adopted a code of ethics applicable to Wells Capital’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as well as the principal accounting officer, controller, or other employees of Wells Capital performing similar functions on behalf of the Partnership, if any. You may obtain a copy of this code of ethics, without charge, upon request by calling our Client Services Department at 800-557-4830 or 770-243-8282.

 

ITEM 11.    COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership has not made payments directly to the General Partners. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a description of the fees incurred by the Partnership payable to affiliates of the General Partners during the year ended December 31, 2004.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

The compensation and fees we pay to the General Partners and their affiliates in connection with our operations are as follows:

 

Interest in Partnership Cash Flow and Net Sale Proceeds

 

The General Partners will receive a subordinated participation in net cash flow from operations equal to 10% of net cash flow after the limited partners have received preferential distributions equal to 10% of their adjusted capital contribution. The General Partners will also receive a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds equal to 20% of residual proceeds available for distribution after the limited partners holding Class B Units have received a return of their adjusted capital contribution plus a 15% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contribution; provided, however, that in no event shall the General Partners receive in the aggregate in excess of 15% of net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds remaining after payments to limited partners from such proceeds of amounts equal to the sum of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 6% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. The General Partners have not received any distributions of operating cash flow or net sales proceeds in 2004.

 

Property Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Management, an affiliate of the General Partners, receives compensation for asset management and the management and leasing of our properties owned through the Joint Ventures equal to the lesser of (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, 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. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income of joint ventures in the accompanying statement of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through Joint Ventures was $14,480, $61,597, and $106,605 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

Real Estate Commissions

 

In connection with the sale of our properties, the General Partners or their affiliates may receive commissions not exceeding the lesser of (a) 50% of the commissions customarily charged by other brokers in arm’s-length transactions involving comparable properties in the same geographic area or (b) 3% of the gross sales price of the property, and provided that payments of such commissions will be made only after limited partners have received prior distributions totaling 100% of their capital contributions plus a 6% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. During 2004, no real estate commissions were paid to the General Partners or their affiliates.

Administration Reimbursement

 

Wells Capital and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative personnel. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership reimbursed $76,323, $44,247, and $44,179, respectively, to Wells Capital and Wells Management for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, overpayments to Wells Capital for administrative reimbursements of $1,146 and $0 are recorded as due from affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements due to Wells Management of $2,873 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

ITEM 14.    PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

 

Preapproval Policies and Procedures

 

The Financial Oversight Committee preapproves all auditing and permissible nonauditing services provided by our independent registered public accountants. The approval may be given as part of the Financial Oversight Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent registered public accountants or on an individual basis. The preapproval of certain audit-related services and certain nonauditing services not exceeding enumerated dollar limits may be delegated to one or more of the Financial Oversight Committee’s members, but the member to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the full Financial Oversight Committee. Our independent registered public accountants may not be retained to perform the nonauditing services specified in Section 10A(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accountants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) served as our independent registered public accountants and provided certain tax and other services. Ernst & Young has served as our independent registered public accountants since July 3, 2002. The aggregate fees billed to the Partnership for professional accounting services, including the audit of the Partnership’s annual financial statements by Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, are set forth in the table below.

 

     2004

   2003

Audit Fees(1)

   $ 27,120    $ 23,185

Audit-Related Fees

     0      2,265

Tax Fees

     5,494      471

All Other Fees

     0      0
    

  

Total

   $ 32,614    $ 25,921
    

  

 

  (1) A portion of the Audit Fees is allocated to the Joint Ventures in which the Partnership invests.

 

For purposes of the preceding table, the professional fees are classified as follows:

 

    Audit Fees – These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filings, services that are normally provided by independent registered public accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and services that generally independent registered public accountants reasonably can provide, such as statutory audits, attest services, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

 

    Audit-Related Fees – These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent registered public accountants, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions, internal control reviews, attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

 

Page 23


Table of Contents
    Tax Fees – These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in our independent registered public accountant’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Tax compliance involves preparation of any federal, state, or local tax returns. Tax planning and tax advice encompass a diverse range of services, including assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets, and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.

 

    All Other Fees – These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories, including assistance with internal audit plans and risk assessments.

 

Since May 6, 2003, the effective date of the SEC Rules requiring audit committees to approve all services provided by independent registered public accountants, 100% of the services performed by Ernst & Young described above under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “All Other Fees” were approved in advance by a member of the Financial Oversight Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Partnership was formed on October 25, 1990 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, 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.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment in Joint Ventures

 

The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Approval by the Partnership as well as the other Joint Venture partners is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Ventures, or their real property investments. Accordingly, the Partnership’s investments in 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. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements, all income and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations are distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Ventures completed a review of their real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of their real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Ventures changed their estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $62,975 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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.

 

Distribution of Net Cash from Operations

 

Net cash from operations, if available, is generally distributed to limited partners quarterly. In accordance with the partnership agreement, such distributions are paid first to limited partners holding Class A Units until each limited partner has received a 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Additional 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 of net cash from operations will be made to the limited partners holding Class B Units.

Distribution of Sales Proceeds

 

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

 

    In the event that the particular property sold is sold for a price that is less than its original property purchase price, to the limited partners holding Class A Units until they have received an amount equal to the excess of the original property purchase price over the price for which the property was sold, limited to the amount of depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions taken by the limited partners holding Class B Units with respect to such property;

 

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

 

    To limited partners holding units, which at any time have been treated as Class B Units, until they have received an amount equal to the distributions of net cash from operations received by the limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis;

 

    To all limited partners until they have received an amount equal to their respective cumulative distributions, as defined;

 

    To all the General Partners until they have received 100% of their respective 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

 

For purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreements, net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery and the 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 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, 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.

 

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.

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Due from Joint Ventures

 

Due from Joint Ventures at December 31, 2004 and 2003 represents the Partnership’s share of operating cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments for the fourth quarters of 2004 and 2003, respectively, as follows:

 

     2004

   2003

Fund IV-V Associates

   $ 41,366    $ 46,621

Fund V-VI Associates

     0      22,602

Fund V-VI-VII Associates

     55,329      37,787
    

  

     $ 96,695    $ 107,010
    

  

 

(b)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

The Partnership entered into a property management, leasing, and asset management agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties, the Joint Ventures pay Wells Management, management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, 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. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income of joint ventures in the accompanying statement of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through Joint Ventures are $14,480, $61,597, and $106,605 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

(c)   Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Capital, the general partner of Wells Partners, one of our general partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on estimates of the amount of time spent on the respective entities by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership reimbursed $76,323, $44,247, and $44,179, respectively, to Wells Capital and Wells Management for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, overpayments to Wells Capital for administrative reimbursements of $1,146 and $0 are recorded as due from affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements due to Wells Management of $2,873 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(d)   Conflicts of Interest

 

Our General Partners are also general partners of other affiliated public limited partnerships (the “Wells Real Estate Funds”). In addition, Well Capital sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains residual interests. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Partnership with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

  (1)   Includes a gain of $1,829,564 recognized on the sale of the Village Overlook Property, of which $1,140,367 is attributable to the Partnership and has been allocated to the Class A and Class B partners pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement (Note 2).

 

  (2)   Includes a gain of $335,325 recognized on the sale of the Stockbridge Village II property, of which $155,591 is attributable to the Partnership and has been allocated to the Class A and Class B partners pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement (Note 2).

 

  (3)   Includes a gain of $2,671,217 recognized on the sale of the Hartford building, of which $1,239,445 is attributable to the Partnership and has been allocated to the Class A and Class B partners pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement (Note 2).

 

  (4)   Includes a gain of $3,334,464 recognized on the sale of the Marathon Building, of which $548,853 is attributable to the Partnership and has been allocated to the Class A and Class B partners pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement (Note 2).

 

  (5)   Effective July 1, 2004, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life for all building assets from 25 years to 40 years, which resulted in an increase to net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $78,678 and $84,660 for Fund IV-V Associates and Fund V-VI-VII Associates, respectively. Fund V-VI Associates did not recognize any depreciation expense in 2004 due to the aforementioned property sales during the first half of 2004. Management believes that this change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of real estate assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

5.   PER UNIT AMOUNTS

 

Income (loss) per limited partnership unit amounts are calculated based upon weighted-average units outstanding during the respective periods. Income (loss) per limited partnership unit, as presented in the accompanying statements of operations, will vary from the per unit amounts attributable to the individual investors due to the differences between the GAAP and tax basis treatment of certain items of income and expense and the fact that, within the respective classes of Class A Units and Class B Units, individual units have different characteristics including capital bases, cumulative operating and net property sales proceeds distributions and cumulative earnings allocations as a result of, among other things, the one-time right afforded to Class B unit holders to elect to convert all of their units to Class A Units.

 

For the reasons mentioned above, distributions of net sale proceeds per unit also vary among individual unit holders. Distributions of net sale proceeds have been calculated at the investor level pursuant to the partnership agreement and allocated between the Class A and Class B limited partners in the period paid. Accordingly, distributions of net sale proceeds per unit, as presented in the accompanying financial statements, vary from the per unit amounts attributable to the individual investors.

  (a)   The quarterly per unit amounts have been calculated using actual income (loss) for the respective quarters. Conversely, the corresponding annual income (loss) per unit amounts have been calculated assuming that income (loss) was earned ratably over the year. As a result, the sum of these quarterly per unit amounts does not equal the respective annual per unit amount presented in the accompanying financial statements.

 

  (b)   The sum of the four quarterly amounts does not equal the respective annual amount presented in the accompanying financial statements due to rounding.

 

  (c)   These amounts have been restated to reflect the impact of a reclassification of $543,202 from net income allocated to Class A limited partners to net loss allocated to Class B limited partners related to the gains recognized on the sales of the Village Overlook Property and the Hartford Building attributable to the Partnership in the third quarter of 2003. This reclassification has no impact on net income.

 

8.   AMERICAN JOBS CREATION ACT OF 2004

 

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) added Section 470 to the Internal Revenue Code, which provides certain limitations on the utilization of losses allocable to leased property owned by a partnership having both taxable and tax-exempt partners such as the Partnership. Currently, it is unclear as to how the transition rules and effective dates set forth in the Act will apply to entities such as the Partnership. However, on March 11, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service issued IRS Notice 2005-29 announcing that the IRS will not apply Section 470 to partnerships for taxable year 2004 based solely on the fact that a partnership had both taxable and tax-exempt partners. It is important to note that IRS Notice 2005-29 provides relief for partnerships for taxable year 2004 only. Accordingly, unless Congress passes corrective legislation which addresses this issue or some other form of relief from the provisions of Section 470 of the Act is granted, based on a strict reading of the Act, future passive losses allocable to Class B limited partners may only be used to offset passive income generated from the same property or within the same fund.

 

9.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III, our General Partner, Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of our other General Partners, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.

As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the “Original Complaint”) was filed by four individuals (the “plaintiffs”) against Wells Real Estate Fund I, and Wells Capital, and Leo F. Wells, III (collectively, “the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I”), as well as Wells Management and Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”) (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Real Estate Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, WIS, and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984 - September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Real Estate Fund I by making false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Real Estate Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

 

On or about November 24, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Real Estate Fund I (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6) (the “Hendry Action”). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things, (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Real Estate Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Real Estate Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

 

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the General Partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their respective duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

The Hendry Action states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary defendant and that the plaintiffs are seeking no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. Since the partnership agreement of Wells Real Estate Fund I contains no provision for advancing defense costs to the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I in connection with litigation involving the partnership in instances where the plaintiffs are seeking no monetary relief from the partnership, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, currently Wells Capital, are funding the legal fees, costs, and expenses relating to this litigation. As of December 31, 2004, Wells Capital had incurred approximately $32,000 in legal fees, costs, and expenses related to defending the Hendry Action. At this time, management is unable to determine whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.

 

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

 

In December 2004, the General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $2,350,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to the limited partners of record as of March 31, 2005, which, under the terms of the Partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after December 31, 2004. Of the total net property sale proceeds attributable to the Partnership of approximately $3,145,000 as of December 31, 2004, approximately $1,511,000 was held by the Partnership, and approximately $1,634,000 was held by Fund V-VI-VII Associates. Following the aforementioned intended distributions the Partnership will hold residual proceeds of approximately $795,000 in reserve in order to fund future operating costs of the Partnership.

 

This distribution has not been formally declared by the General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary for the Partnership at the sole discretion of the General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution date require the General Partners to reevaluate the Partnerships reserve requirements, it is possible that this distribution may not occur, or that distributions may be made at a lower amount.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Fund IV and Fund V Associates:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fund IV and Fund V Associates as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 Fund IV and Fund V Associates at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002

 

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

In April 1992, Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P entered into an agreement to form Fund IV and Fund V Associates (the “Joint Venture”). The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a private Georgia limited partnership.

 

The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of developing, constructing and operating commercial real properties. On September 14, 1992, the Joint Venture acquired 2.655 acres of real property in Stockbridge, Georgia for the purpose of constructing two substantially identical two-story office buildings containing approximately 17,847 rentable square feet each, the Village Overlook Property. On September 29, 2003, the Joint Venture sold the Village Overlook Property to an unrelated third party for a gross selling price of $5,300,000. As a result of this sale, the Joint Venture received net proceeds of approximately $4,995,000 and was allocated gain of approximately $1,830,000. On June 8, 1992, the Joint Venture acquired 5.676 acres of real property located in Jacksonville, Florida for the purpose of developing, constructing, and operating a four-story office building containing approximately 87,600 square feet, 10407 Centurion Parkway North (formerly the “IBM Jacksonville Building”).

 

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rental revenues collected in advance are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

 

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” (“SFAS 66”). Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

 

40 years

Building improvements

 

10-25 years

Land improvements

 

20 years

Tenant Improvements

 

Lease term

 

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets held for investment may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to fair value and recognizes the corresponding impairment loss. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of its real estate assets during the periods presented. Upon becoming designated as held for sale, real estate assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation for such assets ceases.

 

The Joint Venture has begun to evaluate various options for liquidating its investments in properties. Assets designated as held for sale are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation ceases.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Venture completed a review of its real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of its real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Venture changed its estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Venture extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $78,678 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture 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.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are comprised of tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables. Management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. No such allowances have been recorded as of December 31, 2004 or 2003.

Total

   $ 377,403    $ 13,842
    

  

 

Deferred leasing costs reflect costs incurred to procure operating leases, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs include accumulated amortization of $27,079 and $0 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Refundable security deposits represent cash deposits received from tenants, the offset to which is included in accounts payable and refundable security deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Pursuant to the respective leases, the Joint Venture may apply such balances towards unpaid receivable balances or property damages, where applicable, or is obligated to refund such balances to the tenants upon the expiration of the related lease term.

 

Allocation of Income and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based upon their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. For the periods presented, Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 38% and 62%, respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. entered into property management and leasing agreements with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture will generally pay Wells Management fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, 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 Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fees of $15,707, $67,216, and $133,559 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

Page F-26


Table of Contents

(b) Administrative Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates perform certain administrative services for the Joint Venture’s properties, relating to accounting, property management, and other joint venture administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among these entities based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture reimbursed $45,179, $52,506, and $65,192, respectively, to Wells Management and its affiliates for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements of $543 and $0 are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(c) Conflicts of Interest

 

The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Wells Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the general partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

 

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

SFAS No. 144 requires, among other things, that the operating results of real estate assets sold or held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 be included in discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented. On September 29, 2003, the Joint Venture sold the Village Overlook Property.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Fund V and Fund VI Associates:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Fund V and Fund VI Associates as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 Fund V and Fund VI Associates at December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004 (unaudited), 2003, AND 2002

 

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

On December 27, 1993, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. entered into a joint venture agreement to create Fund V and Fund VI Associates (the “Joint Venture”). The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia private limited partnership.

 

The Joint Venture was formed to acquire and operate commercial real properties, including properties to be developed, currently under development or construction, newly constructed or having operating histories. On December 29, 1993, the Joint Venture purchased the Hartford Building, a four-story office building containing approximately 71,000 rentable square feet. The Hartford Building is located on 5.56 acres of land in Hartford, Connecticut. On August 12, 2003, the Joint Venture sold the Hartford Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of approximately $8,925,000, less agreed-upon credits of approximately $457,500. As a result of this sale, the Joint Venture received net proceeds of approximately $8,146,900 and recognized a gain of approximately $2,671,217.

 

On November 12, 1993, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. purchased 2.46 acres of real property located in Clayton County, Georgia. On July 1, 1994, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. contributed this land as a capital contribution to the Joint Venture. Construction of a 5,400 square foot retail building on this property was completed in November 1994. A second retail building containing approximately 10,423 square feet was completed in June 1995. Upon construction, this property became known as Stockbridge Village II. On April 29, 2004, four joint ventures, including the Joint Venture, sold five real properties, including Stockbridge Village II, to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $23,750,000. As a result of the sale of Stockbridge Village II, the Joint Venture recognized a gain of approximately $335,325 and received net proceeds of approximately $2,705,451.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Joint Venture has disposed of all of its real estate assets and does not intend to invest in additional properties. The Joint Venture is in the process of winding up its affairs by, among other things, collecting the outstanding receivables and satisfying outstanding payables. Subsequent thereto, management intends to distribute any residual cash balances to the joint venture partners and terminate the Joint Venture in accordance with the relevant dissolution and termination provisions of the Georgia Uniform Partnership Act.

 

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rental revenues collected in advance are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Page F-35


Table of Contents

Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

 

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” (“SFAS 66”). Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

 

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

 

40 years

Building improvements

 

10-25 years

Land improvements

 

20 years

Tenant Improvements

 

Lease term

 

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets held for investment may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to fair value and recognizes the corresponding impairment loss. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of its real estate assets during the periods presented. Upon becoming designated as held for sale, real estate assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation for such assets ceases.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture 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.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are comprised of tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivable. Management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and would provide for allowances should such balances, or a portion thereof, be deemed uncollectible. Allowances of $285 and $0 have been recorded as of December 31, 2004 or 2003, respectively.

Deferred leasing costs reflect costs incurred to procure operating leases, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases, and include accumulated amortization of $0 and $67,624 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Refundable security deposits represent cash deposits received from tenants, the offset to which is included in accounts payable and refundable security deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Pursuant to the respective leases, the Joint Venture may apply such balances towards unpaid receivable balances or property damages, where applicable, is obligated to refund such balances to the tenants upon the expiration of the related lease term.

 

Allocation of Income and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based upon their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. For the periods presented, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 46% and 54%, respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. entered into property management and leasing agreements with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture will generally pay Wells Management fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, 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 Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fees of $7,829, $38,948, and $48,171 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

(b)   Administrative Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates perform certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other joint venture administration, and incur the related expenses. Such

 

Page F-37


Table of Contents

expenses are allocated among these entities based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture reimbursed $14,156, $29,052, and $38,814, respectively, to Wells Management and its affiliates for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements of $339 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(c)   Conflicts of Interest

 

The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Wells Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the general partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

 

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

SFAS No. 144 requires, among other things, assets held for sale to be presented separately in the accompanying balance sheets and that the operating results of real estate assets sold or held for sale subsequent to January 1, 2002 be included in discontinued operations in the statements of operations for all periods presented. On August 12, 2003, the Joint Venture sold the Hartford Building. On March 18, 2003, Stockbridge Village II was classified as held for sale, and subsequently sold on April 29, 2004. As such, the results of discontinued operations included in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are summarized below:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Fund V, Fund VI, and Fund VII Associates:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fund V, Fund VI and Fund VII Associates as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 Fund V, Fund VI and Fund VII Associates at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002

 

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

On September 8, 1994, Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. entered into a joint venture known as Fund V, Fund VI and Fund VII Associates (the “Joint Venture”). The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a private Georgia limited partnership.

 

The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of investing in commercial real properties. In September 1994, the Joint Venture acquired a 75,000-square-foot, three-story office building, the Marathon Building, located in Appleton, Wisconsin. On December 29, 2004, the Joint Venture sold the Marathon Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $10,250,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture received net sale proceeds of approximately $9,927,330 and recognized a gain of approximately $3,334,463.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Joint Venture has disposed of all of its real estate assets and does not intend to invest in additional properties. The Joint Venture is in the process of winding up its affairs by, among other things, collecting the outstanding receivables and satisfying outstanding payables. Subsequent thereto, management intends to distribute any residual cash balances to the joint venture partners and terminate the Joint Venture in accordance with the relevant dissolution and termination provisions of the Georgia Uniform Partnership Act.

 

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rental revenues collected in advance are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

 

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” (“SFAS 66”). Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

  40 years

Building improvements

  10-25 years

Land improvements

  20 years

Tenant Improvements

  Lease term

 

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets held for investment may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to fair value and recognizes the corresponding impairment loss. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of its real estate assets during the periods presented. Upon becoming designated as held for sale, real estate assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation for such assets ceases.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Venture completed a review of its real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of its real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Venture changed its estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Venture extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $84,660 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture 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.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the net proceeds from the December 29, 2004 sale of the Marathon Building were included in the Joint Venture cash balance. The Joint Venture distributed such proceeds to Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. in January 2004.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. entered into property management and leasing agreements with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture will generally pay Wells Management fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing services, 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 Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fees of $6,425, $9,900, and $6,110 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, which are payable to Wells Management.

 

(b)   Administrative Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates perform certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other joint venture administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among these entities based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture reimbursed $13,983, $28,958, and $16,864, respectively, to Wells Management and its affiliates for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements of $920 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(c)   Conflicts of Interest

 

The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Wells Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the general partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.
