CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW (the “Partnership”) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. 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-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; provide distributions to limited partners; and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. 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.

 

Enterprise risks

 

    Our dependency on Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”) and its affiliates and their key personnel for various administrative services; and

 

    Wells Capital’s ability to attract and retain high quality personnel who can provide acceptable service levels and generate economies of scale over time.

 

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;

 

Page 2


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

 

    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 at our properties;

 

    Ability to fund foreseen and unforeseen capital expenditures, including those related to tenant build-out projects, tenant improvements, and lease-up costs, out of operating cash flow or net property sale proceeds; 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

 

    Our reliance on Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”) or third parties to manage our properties;

 

    Increases in our administrative operating expenses, including increased expenses associated with operating as a public company in the current regulatory environment;

 

    Ability to comply with governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws or regulations and funding the related costs of compliance; and

 

    Actions of our joint venture partners including potential bankruptcy, business interests differing from ours, or other actions that may adversely impact the operations of joint ventures.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

MARCH 31, 2005 (unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, a Georgia corporation, serving as its general partners (collectively, the “General Partners”). The Partnership was formed on October 13, 1987 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing properties for investment purposes. The Partnership has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B Units. Limited partners may vote to, among other things, (a) amend the partnership agreement, subject to certain limitations, (b) change the business purpose or investment objectives of the Partnership, and (c) remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the above-described matters will bind the Partnership without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit generally has equal voting rights regardless of class.

 

On November 6, 1987, the Partnership commenced a public offering of its limited partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership terminated its offering on September 7, 1988, upon receiving gross offering proceeds of $1,922,000 for 7,688 Class A and Class B limited partner units at $250 per unit.

 

The Partnership owns interests in all of its real estate assets through a joint venture, Fund II and Fund II-OW, which owns interests in real estate assets both directly and through joint ventures with other entities affiliated with the General Partners. During the periods presented, the Partnership owned interests in the following joint ventures (the “Joint Ventures”) and properties:

the properties described above was acquired on an all-cash basis. For further information regarding the Joint Ventures and foregoing properties, refer to the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

On July 1, 2004, Fund II-III Associates and Fund II-III-VI-VII Associates, collectively, sold Brookwood Grill and the Holcomb Bridge Property to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $9,500,000. As a result of the sale of Brookwood Grill, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $78,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $26,000. As a result of the sale of the Holcomb Bridge Property, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $54,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $16,000, of which approximately $1,000 was deferred. The deferred gain represents the Partnership’s pro rata allocation of maximum exposure under an eighteen-month rental guarantee provided to the purchaser in connection with the sale. As of March 31,2005, the Partnership recognized approximately $150 of the deferred gain.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and in accordance with such rules and regulations, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partners, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary to fairly present the results for such periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

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 each limited partner holding Class A Units until he has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Net cash from operations is then distributed to each limited partner holding Class B Units until he has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Any excess net cash from operations would then be distributed to the General Partners until they have received 10% of the total distributions for the year. Thereafter, net cash from operations is distributed 90% to limited partners and 10% to the General Partners.

 

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

 

For the purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreement, net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, cost recovery, interest expense, and the gain on the sale of assets. Net income, as defined, of the Partnership will be allocated each year in the same proportions that net cash from operations is distributed to the partners. To the extent the Partnership’s net income in any year exceeds net cash from operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partners.

 

Net loss, depreciation, 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.

 

Gains on the sale or exchange of the Partnership’s properties will be allocated as follows: (a) first, to partners having negative capital accounts, if any, until all negative capital accounts have been restored to zero; (b) then to

 

Page 10


Table of Contents

the limited partners in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) each limited partner’s adjusted capital contribution, plus a cumulative 12% per annum return on his adjusted capital contribution, less the sum of all prior distributions of cash flow from operations previously made to such limited partner, over (ii) such limited partner’s capital account balance as of the sale date, subject to the requirement to initially allocate gain on sale to limited partners holding Class B Units until they have been allocated an amount equal to the net from operations previously received by limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis; (c) then to the General Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) each general partner’s adjusted capital contribution, over (ii) such general partner’s capital account balance as of the sale date; and (d) thereafter 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partners.

 

3. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners, is entitled to compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties owned through Fund II-IIOW Associates equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% 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 Venture and, accordingly, included in equity in loss of Fund II-IIOW Associates in the accompanying statements of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Fund II-IIOW Associates is $991 and $1,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Capital, one of the General Partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership and Fund II-IIOW Associates, relating to accounting and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among various other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of the General Partners, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. The administrative charges related to the Partnership are recorded by Fund II-IIOW Associates and, therefore, included in equity loss of Fund II-IIOW Associates in the accompanying statements of operations. Fund II-IIOW Associates reimbursed Wells Capital and Wells Management $3,601 and $2,881 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, on behalf of the Partnership.

 

4. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. 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 investment in Fund II-IIOW Associates is recorded using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for contributions, distributions, and net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
