CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Mid-Horizon Value-Added Fund I, LLC (Wells VAF I, we, our, or us) 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, we consider, among others, statements concerning future operating results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of any future distributions to investor members 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 this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such 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 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 members, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
| We have utilized debt financing from third parties to acquire properties. Thus, our cash from operations will be needed to make debt service payments and, as a result, cash available for distributions or for engaging in value-enhancing strategies will be reduced. Further, two of our properties serve as collateral for such loans. If we are unable to make any loan payments and are found to be in default under the terms of such loans, the lender could foreclose on any such properties and seek to obtain a judgment against us for any amount still owing to the lender under such loans after the foreclosure and sale by the lender of such properties. Any such default, foreclosure, or judgment would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
| The constriction in the U.S. credit markets could impact our ability to refinance our existing debt and the terms that we are able to achieve in doing so. A decline in our borrowing capacity could negatively impact our ability to offer allowances or other concessions to prospective tenants at prevailing market rates as we seek to lease currently vacant space and/or to renew existing leases. |
| Real estate investments are subject to general downturns in the economy as well as downturns in specific geographic areas. We cannot predict what the occupancy level will be in a particular building or that any tenant will remain solvent. We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. |
| The management and other key personnel of our manager, whose services are essential to Wells VAF I, will face a conflict in allocating their time and other resources between Wells VAF I and the other Wells real estate programs and activities in which they are involved. Failure of our manager to devote sufficient time or resources to our operations could result in reduced returns to our members. |
| We will pay certain prescribed fees to our manager and its affiliates regardless of the quality of services provided. |

WELLS MID-HORIZON VALUE-ADDED FUND I, LLC
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 (unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS |
Wells Mid-Horizon Value-Added Fund I, LLC (Wells VAF I) was organized as a Georgia limited liability company on July 15, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, and improving or otherwise enhancing income-producing commercial properties, and liquidating such investments over a period of three to five years following acquisition. While Wells VAF I believes that it can complete its leasing efforts and sell the assets in its portfolio within the projected fund life of four to eight years after commencement of its private placement offering, Wells VAF I does acknowledge that the current economic recession and its impact on office market conditions may require that it hold individual assets longer than originally projected in order to achieve the best disposition pricing for the investor members. The term of Wells VAF I shall continue until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the filing of a certificate of termination.
Wells Management Company, Inc. (Wells Management) is the sponsoring member of Wells VAF I and has the exclusive authority to conduct the day-to-day and overall direction and supervision of the business and affairs of Wells VAF I pursuant to an operating agreement. Wells Management has contributed $1,000,000 to Wells VAF I for a subordinated interest therein. Wells Investment Management Company, Inc. (WIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Management, has been appointed by Wells Management to serve as the manager of Wells VAF I. In addition, Wells VAF I and WIM have entered into an agreement (the Advisory Agreement), under which WIM performs certain key functions on behalf of Wells VAF I, including, but not limited to, the investment of capital proceeds and management of day-to-day operations. Wells VAF I executed a dealer-manager agreement with Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (WIS) whereby WIS performed the dealer-manager function for Wells VAF I during its private placement offering.
On September 15, 2005, Wells VAF I commenced an offering of up to 150,000 shares of investor member interests under a private placement to qualified purchasers who met the definition of accredited investors, as provided in Regulation D of the Securities Act. Wells VAF I commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 10,000 shares of investor member interests on June 22, 2006. Its offering terminated on September 15, 2008, at which time Wells VAF I had sold approximately 51,854 shares of investor member interests resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $51,854,000. After deductions for payments of acquisition fees of approximately $1,037,000; selling commissions, discounts, and dealer-manager fees of approximately $2,852,000; and other offering expenses of approximately $259,000; Wells VAF I received net offering proceeds of approximately $47,706,000. All equity proceeds raised from the sale of investor member interests have been utilized to fund property acquisitions and capital expenditures. No public market exists for the shares of investor member interests and none is expected to develop.
Wells VAF Is investment policy includes, but is not limited to, acquiring properties with opportunities for value enhancement related to leasing or re-leasing available space, renovating or redeveloping properties, entering into leases with sub-investment-grade tenants at above market rates, and/or benefiting from favorable market conditions.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of Wells VAF I have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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 WIM, Wells VAF Is manager, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full years results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in Wells VAF Is Form 10 as filed with the SEC on July 23, 2009. Wells VAF I has evaluated subsequent events occurring during the period from October 1, 2009 through November 12, 2009, the date of filing with the SEC.
Fair Value Measurements
Wells VAF I estimates the fair value of its assets and liabilities (where currently required under GAAP) consistent with the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures, which became effective for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008 and for non-financial and nonrecurring assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures provides the following fair value technique parameters and hierarchy, depending upon availability:
Level 1 | Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly traded instruments or futures contracts. | |
Level 2 |
Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments. | |
Level 3 |
Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market. Such assets or liabilities are valued based on the best available data, some of which may be internally developed. Significant assumptions may include risk premiums that a market participant would consider. |

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying value of the Bank of America Loan (see Note 3 where defined) approximated its fair value. In connection with negotiating the amended terms of the Bank of America Loan for amendments executed on June 30, 2009 and November 21, 2008, Wells VAF I ensured that the amended contractual terms of this facility were consistent with those currently offered for similar facilities with similar collateral bases. See Note 3 regarding specific terms of the Bank of America Loan.
Income Taxes
Wells VAF I is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The members are required to include their respective shares of profits and losses in their individual income tax returns, regardless of whether any cash distributions are made during the respective period.
Allocation of Profits and Losses
Wells VAF I allocates profits or losses for each allocation period to the investor members in proportion to their respective percentage interests in an amount not to create a deficit capital balance.
Distribution of Net Cash Flow
Net cash flow, as defined in the operating agreement, is distributed to the members in the order and priority that follows:
| First, to pay the following returns on capital: |
| First, to the investor members up to a 10% per annum compounded return on their capital contributions during the offering period; |
| Second, to the investor members in proportion to their percentage interests, as defined, until each investor member receives a 10% per annum compounded return on their capital contributions for the period following the offering period; |
| Third, to Wells Management up to a 10% per annum compounded return on its capital contribution; |
| Second, to the investor members in proportion to their percentage interests until each investor member has received $1,000 per share; |
| Third, to Wells Management until it has received its capital contribution; and |
| Fourth, |
| To Wells Management in the amount of 20% of all distributable proceeds, less any disposition fees previously paid to Wells Management, of which Wells Management has agreed to pay up to 50% of any such amount received to broker/dealers who participated in its private placement offering; and |
| The remainder to the investor members in accordance with their percentage interests. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 requires that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority, effectively superseding SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a significant impact on Wells VAF Is financial statements or disclosures.

3. | LINE OF CREDIT |
On September 30, 2009, Wells VAF I entered into a Third Consolidated Amendatory Agreement (the Third Amendment) with Bank of America National Association, which converted its $25.0 million revolving credit facility to a $23.5 term loan and extended its maturity date from September 30, 2009 to November 30, 2009 (the Bank of America Loan). The Bank of America Loan incurs interest at a rate of one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin of 4.50%. From December 2008 through June 2009, the Bank of America Loan incurred interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR, plus a margin of 2.25%. From June 2006 through November 2008, the Bank of America Loan incurred interest at a rate of LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.60%, dependent upon Wells VAF Is ratio of debt to total asset value. Prior to the Third Amendment, unused fees incurred on the Bank of America Loan were recorded as interest expense. Wells VAF I will not incur unused fees subsequent to the Third Amendment. The Nathan Lane Building and Park Lane Building have been pledged as collateral against the Bank of America Loan.
Negotiations for financing to extend or replace the Bank of America Loan are under way with prospective lenders. Wells VAF I is currently pursuing alternative financing options, including a secured credit facility collateralized by the properties in the Wells VAF I portfolio and individual property-specific mortgage loans. Wells VAF I believes that it will be able to secure financing to meet its debt obligations at current-market terms, which terms would likely be less favorable than those under the Bank of America Loan. However, Wells VAF I acknowledges that the U.S. credit markets remain volatile and, as such, it can make no assurances that replacement financing will be available at terms favorable or desirable to it.
During the period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank of America Loan incurred interest at a rate of approximately 4.8% and 3.7%, respectively, per annum. Wells VAF I paid cash for interest expense of approximately $290,000 and $89,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately $584,000 and $361,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the periods presented, Wells VAF I did not capitalize interest expense.
4. | MEMBERS EQUITY |
Sponsoring Member Interest
On September 27, 2005, Wells VAF I received a $1,000,000 contribution from Wells Management. During the start-up period, proceeds from this contribution were held as working capital and used primarily to fund initial operating costs. Following the start-up period, the residual proceeds were distributed to investor members. Wells Management has a subordinated interest to investor members in earnings allocations and distributions from Wells VAF I.
Investor Member Interests
Wells VAF I commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 10,000 shares of investor member interests on June 22, 2006. The offering was terminated on September 15, 2008, at which time Wells VAF I had sold approximately 51,854 shares of investor member interests. Investor members have a priority interest over the sponsoring member in earnings allocations and distributions from Wells VAF I.
5. | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Advisory Agreement
On September 15, 2005, Wells VAF I entered into the Advisory Agreement with WIM. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, WIM is entitled to specified fees for certain services, including, but not limited to, the investment of offering proceeds in real estate projects, sales of properties, and management of day-to-day operations. The Advisory Agreement has a one-year term and is subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon the consent of the parties. Wells VAF I may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days written

notice without cause or penalty. If Wells VAF I terminates the Advisory Agreement, Wells VAF I will pay WIM all unpaid reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees. The negotiations of the Advisory Agreement were not at arms length, and Wells VAF I will pay certain prescribed fees to WIM and its affiliates regardless of the quality of its services.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Wells VAF Is private placement memorandum, Wells VAF I incurs the following fees and reimbursements payable to WIM:
| During Wells VAF Is private placement offering of investor member interests, Wells VAF I reimbursed WIM for organization and offering costs paid on its behalf equal to 0.5% of gross offering proceeds raised under the offering. Organization and offering costs were incurred by WIM on behalf of Wells VAF I and are not a direct liability of Wells VAF I. Such costs included legal and accounting fees, printing costs, and other offering expenses, and specifically excluded sales or underwriting commissions. When incurred by Wells VAF I, organization costs were expensed and offering costs were recorded as charges to members capital. |
| During Wells VAF Is private placement offering of investor member interests, Wells VAF I paid WIM acquisition fees in an amount equal to 2.0% of gross offering proceeds raised under the offering. These acquisition fees serve as compensation for services WIM renders in connection with the investigation, selection, and acquisition of properties. Wells VAF I paid the acquisition fees upon its receipt of gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares, however WIM is obligated to reimburse Wells VAF I for any unearned acquisition fees upon termination of the Advisory Agreement. Wells VAF I may also reimburse WIM for expenses it pays to third parties in connection with acquisitions or potential acquisitions. |
| Monthly asset management fees equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the gross value of Wells VAF Is real estate assets, as determined and approved in good faith and consistent with applicable fiduciary duties by the investment committee of Wells VAF I. Any portion of the asset management fee may be deferred upon WIMs request and paid in a subsequent month or year. |
| Reimbursement for all costs and expenses WIM incurs in fulfilling its duties as the asset portfolio manager. These costs and expenses may include wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of WIMs employees engaged in management, administration, operations, and marketing functions. Employee-related expenses include taxes, insurance, and benefits relating to such employees, and legal, travel, and other out-of-pocket expenses that are directly related to the services they provide. WIM allocates its reimbursable costs of providing these services among Wells VAF I and the various affiliated public real estate investment programs based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. |
| For any property sold by Wells VAF I, a disposition fee equal to 0.25% of the sales price, if WIM provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale. |
Dealer-Manager Agreement
Wells VAF I executed a dealer-manager agreement with WIS on September 15, 2005, whereby WIS performed the dealer-manager function for Wells VAF I in its private placement offering. For these services, Wells VAF I incurred sales commissions and dealer-manager fees on the gross offering proceeds raised from the sale of shares of investor member interests of up to 4.0% and 1.5%, respectively, at the time the shares were sold. Under the dealer-manager agreement, a portion of dealer-manger fees, in an aggregate amount of up to 0.75% of gross offering proceeds, was re-allowed to participating broker/dealers as marketing fees. The dealer-manager agreement terminated on September 15, 2008, upon completion of Wells VAF Is offering; however, certain provisions, including those regarding indemnification, survive termination.

(5) | For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $0 and $31,625, respectively, was re-allowed to participating broker/dealers as marketing fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately $0 and $64,335, respectively, was re-allowed to participating broker/dealers as marketing fees. |
(6) | As of September 30, 2009, WIM had incurred cumulative organizational and offering expenses on behalf of Wells VAF I of approximately $728,000, of which Wells VAF I has reimbursed approximately $259,000, or 0.5% of gross offering proceeds raised to WIM pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement as outlined above. |
Due to Affiliates
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, due to affiliates was comprised of administrative reimbursements due to WIM and/or its affiliates. WIMs affiliates pay for certain expenses of Wells VAF I directly and invoice Wells VAF I for reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. Amounts for these reimbursements are included in the aforementioned administrative reimbursements.
Economic Dependency
Wells VAF I has engaged WIM and Wells Management to provide certain services essential to Wells VAF I, including asset management services, supervision of the management of properties, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells VAF I, including accounting services, investor member communications, and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, Wells VAF I is dependent upon WIM and Wells Management.
WIM and Wells Management are owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (WREF). Accordingly, Wells VAF I focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of WIM and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, Wells VAF I might be required to find alternative service providers.
Page 14
Table of Contents
Future net income generated by WREF is largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by affiliates of WIM and Wells Management based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of common stock for certain WREF-sponsored programs and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs, as well as anticipated dividend income earned from equity interests in another REIT. As of September 30, 2009, Wells VAF I believes that WREF generates adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and other investments to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.
In addition, WREF guarantees unsecured debt held by another WREF-sponsored product that is in the start-up phase of its operations equal to approximately $23.7 million as of October 31, 2009.
Wells VAF I is also dependent upon the ability of its current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as they become due. In particular, four tenants at its properties account for approximately 98% of its revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as follows: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc., 29%; Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, 23%; Country Music Television, Inc., 31%; and Stanley Convergent Security Solutions, Inc., 15%. The inability of any of these tenants to pay future rental amounts would have a negative impact on Wells VAF Is results of operations. Wells VAF I is not aware of any reason why its current tenants will not be able to pay their contractual rental amounts as they become due in all material respects. Situations preventing Wells VAF Is tenants from paying contractual rents could result in a material adverse impact on its results of operations.
Assertion of Legal Action Against Related-Parties
On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont Office Realty Trust (Piedmont REIT), formerly known as Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., filed a putative class action and derivative complaint, presently styled In re Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against, among others, Piedmont REIT; Leo F. Wells, III; Wells Capital, Inc. (Wells Capital); Wells Management, our sponsoring member; certain affiliates of WREF; the directors of Piedmont REIT; and certain individuals who formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT prior to the closing of the internalization transaction on April 16, 2007. The complaint alleged, among other things, violations of the federal proxy rules and breaches of fiduciary duty arising from the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction and the related proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, as amended. The complaint sought, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and nullification of the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction. On April 9, 2007, the District Court denied the plaintiffs motion for an order enjoining the internalization transaction. On April 17, 2007, the Court granted the defendants motion to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and the case was docketed in the Northern District of Georgia on April 24, 2007. On June 7, 2007, the Court granted a motion to designate the class lead plaintiff and class co-lead counsel. On June 27, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which attempted to assert class action claims on behalf of those persons who received and were entitled to vote on the Piedmont REIT proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, and derivative claims on behalf of Piedmont REIT. On July 9, 2007, the Court denied the plaintiffs motion for expedited discovery related to an anticipated motion for a preliminary injunction. On August 13, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 31, 2008, the Court granted in part the defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court dismissed five of the seven counts of the amended complaint in their entirety. The Court dismissed the remaining two counts with the exception of allegations regarding the failure to disclose in the Piedmont REIT proxy statement details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. On April 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which alleges violations of the federal proxy rules based upon allegations that the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction omitted details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, to nullify and rescind the internalization transaction, and to cancel and rescind any stock issued to the defendants as consideration for the internalization transaction. On May 12, 2008, the defendants answered and raised certain defenses to the second amended

complaint. On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. On September 16, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion for class certification. On September 20, 2009, the defendants filed a petition for permission to appeal immediately the Courts order granting the motion for class certification with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition for permission to appeal was denied on October 30, 2009. On April 13, 2009, the plaintiff moved for leave to amend the second amended complaint to add additional defendants. The Court denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to amend on June 23, 2009. The parties are presently engaged in expert discovery. Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management intend to vigorously defend this action. Any financial loss incurred by Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates could hinder their ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments.
6. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Wells VAF I is not subject to any material litigation nor to managements knowledge is any material litigation currently threatened against Wells VAF I.
Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells VAF I to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. As a result of a lease amendment executed in July 2008, the major tenant at the Park Lane Building, Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (CGLIC), has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $1.5 million, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As a result of a lease agreement executed in June 2009, one of the tenants at the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, Espey Consultants, Inc. (Espey), has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $0.6 million, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As a result of a lease agreement executed in October 2009 (see Note 7 Subsequent Event), one of the tenants at the Nathan Lane Building, Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. (Brocade), has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $1.3 million through May 1, 2011, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As of October 31, 2009, Wells VAF I has funded approximately $228,000 of the aforementioned Espey tenant improvement reimbursement obligation.
7. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
Leasing Activity at the Nathan Lane Building
On October 20, 2009, Wells VAF I and Brocade, entered into a new lease agreement at the Nathan Lane Building, which terms are effective as of May 1, 2010. The new lease agreement reduced Brocades square footage from approximately 81% of the building to approximately 24% of the building and extended the lease term from April 30, 2010 to July 31, 2017. Pursuant to the new lease agreement, Brocade will no longer manage the Nathan Lane Building and its annual base rent will increase from an average of approximately $10.12 per square foot to an average of approximately $14.20 per square foot. Brocades annual base rent will increase by approximately 3% annually beginning in May 2011, the thirteenth month of the lease. In addition to annual base rent, Brocade is also required to reimburse Wells VAF I for its pro rata share of all operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Nathan Lane Building. Brocade has the right to extend the lease term for two additional five-year periods at the then fair market rental rate.

Overview
We were formed on July 15, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, and improving or otherwise enhancing income-producing commercial properties. Our investment strategy includes, but is not limited to, acquiring properties with opportunities for value enhancement related to leasing or re-leasing available space, renovating or redeveloping properties, entering into leases with sub-investment-grade tenants at above-market rates and/or benefiting from favorable market conditions. We are externally advised and managed by WIM. In June 2006, we commenced active operations upon receiving the minimum proceeds in our private placement offering of investor member interests, which offering raised approximately $51,854,000 in gross proceeds prior to its termination in September 2008. We completed our first real estate acquisition in September 2006, and continued to invest proceeds from our private placement offering in real estate assets in 2007 and 2008. Thus, our results of operations for the periods presented reflect growing operational revenues and expenses, and fluctuating levels of interest expense relative to the size of our portfolio.
Portfolio Overview
Our portfolio currently consists of the following four properties:
| The Nathan Lane Building is a five-story office building located in Plymouth, Minnesota that was acquired in September 2006 and is currently 100% leased to two tenants, Brocade and Stanley Convergent Security Solutions, Inc. (Stanley). The currently effective Brocade lease expires in April 2010 and the Stanley lease expires in May 2016. On October 20, 2009, Wells VAF I and Brocade, entered into a new lease agreement at the Nathan Lane Building, which reduced Brocades square footage from approximately 81% of the building to approximately 24% of the building and extended the lease term from April 30, 2010 to July 31, 2017, effective as of May 1, 2010. |
| The Park Lane Building is a five-story office building and an eight-acre parcel of land containing a parking lot located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that was acquired in January 2007 and is currently 100% leased to two tenants. The major lease to CGLIC expires in January 2020. |
| The Commerce Street Building is a four-story office building and two floors of a parking deck located in Nashville, Tennessee that was acquired in December 2007 and is approximately 75% leased to Country Music Television, Inc. (CMT) through May 2013. |
| The Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings are two separate two-story office buildings located in Austin, Texas that were acquired vacant in October 2008 and are currently approximately 21% leased to four tenants. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
During the period from September 2005 through September 2008, we raised funds through the sale of shares of investor member interests under our private placement offering, and we used substantially all offering proceeds, net of offering costs, and other expenses, to acquire real properties and to fund certain re-leasing costs and capital improvements. We expect that our primary source of future cash flows will be cash generated from the operations of our properties, proceeds from third-party borrowings, and, eventually, net proceeds from the sale of our properties.
Our operating strategy entails funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of the properties with operating cash flows, assessing the amount of operating cash flows and proceeds from third-party borrowings that will be required to fund future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements, and distributing residual operating cash flows to our investor members. We continue to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions and their impact on our earnings and future distributions to investor members.
Page 17
Table of Contents
Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $0.9 million. Such operating cash flows are generally representative of receipts of rental payments, tenant reimbursements, and interest and other income, less payments for property operating costs, interest expense, asset and property management fees, and general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we continued to withhold distributions to the investor members to bolster our cash reserve balances due to uncertainty surrounding our future third-party borrowing arrangements and future contractual commitments to fund costs associated with re-leasing activity at the Nathan Lane Building, the Park Lane Building and the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings (see Note 6 Commitments and Contingencies). From such operating cash flows and cash on hand, we funded capital expenditures and re-leasing costs at the properties of approximately $0.6 million, made debt repayments of $0.4 million, and reserved the remainder for future capital expenditures and re-leasing costs anticipated at our properties.
Future distributions paid to our investor members will be largely dependent on the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, our expectations of future cash flows, and our determination of near-term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, and debt repayments related to our existing portfolio. We expect to utilize the residual cash balance on hand as of September 30, 2009 of approximately $3.4 million to satisfy current liabilities and to fund anticipated re-leasing costs and capital expenditures.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we obtained net debt proceeds of $2.5 million. Such proceeds will primarily be used to fund anticipated tenant improvement reimbursement obligations related to the CGLIC lease at the Park Lane Building and the Espey lease at the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings. We intend to continue to raise capital from third-party borrowings, and to use such capital plus, in the event of a property disposition, net proceeds from the sale of properties, primarily to fund anticipated capital expenditures or re-leasing costs.
On September 30, 2009, Wells VAF I entered into the Third Amendment with Bank of America National Association, which converted the Bank of America Loan from a $25.0 million revolving credit facility to a $23.5 term loan and extended its maturity date from September 30, 2009 to November 30, 2009. The Bank of America Loan incurs interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR, plus a margin of 4.50%. Negotiations for financing to extend or replace the Bank of America Loan are under way with prospective lenders. Wells VAF I is currently pursuing alternative financing options, including a secured credit facility collateralized by the properties in the Wells VAF I portfolio and individual property-specific mortgage loans. We believe that we will be able to secure financing to meet our debt obligations at current-market terms, which terms would likely be less favorable than those under the Bank of America Loan. However, we acknowledge that the U.S. credit markets remain volatile and, as such, we can make no assurances that replacement financing will be available at terms favorable or desirable to us. If we are unable to refinance the Bank of America Loan we may be forced to sell properties at a loss in order to pay the outstanding principal balance on the facility. If we are unable to make any loan payments and are found to be in default under the terms of the facility, Bank of America could foreclose on the Nathan Lane Building and Park Lane Building which serve as collateral for the loan pursuant to a mortgage agreement, and seek to obtain a judgment against us for any amount still owing to Bank of America under the credit facility after the foreclosure and sale of the properties. Any such default, foreclosure, or judgment would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank of America Loan contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants:
| limits our ratio of debt to total asset value, as defined, to 70% or less at all times; |
| requires our ratio of net operating income-to-interest expense, as defined, to be greater than 1.5:1 at all times; |
| limits our ratio of variable rate debt to total asset value, as defined, to 30% or less at all times; and |
| limits investments that fall outside our core investments of improved office and industrial properties. |
Page 18
Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under the Bank of America Loan agreement.
Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our offering of investor member interests terminated on September 15, 2008. Substantially all equity proceeds raised from the sale of investor member interests have been used to fund property acquisitions. As such, we expect that our primary sources of capital over the long term will include proceeds from net cash flows from operations, third-party borrowings, and, eventually, net proceeds received from the sale of properties. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for tenant and capital improvements, re-leasing costs, operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, repayment of outstanding borrowings, and distributions to investor members.
In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that substantially all future net operating cash flows, after payments or reserves for certain capital expenditures such as re-leasing costs and capital improvements, and repayment of outstanding borrowings, will be used to pay distributions to investor members. In May of 2010, Brocade, the majority tenant at the Nathan Lane Building, which accounted for 29% of our aggregate revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, will reduce its square footage leased from 81% to 24% of the Nathan Lane Building. Accordingly, our net income will be reduced to the extent we are unable to re-lease the vacant space and we may have to expend substantial funds to re-lease the vacant space, which may limit our ability to make distributions to our investor members in 2010. In addition, to the extent the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings continue to remain primarily vacant, increased property operating expenses and asset and property management fees relating to the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings may reduce our cash flow from operating activities from 2008 levels in 2009 and 2010. We expect that substantially all future debt proceeds will be used to fund certain capital expenditures for our existing properties.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
We are contractually committed to repay the Bank of America Loan in full along with any accrued and unpaid interest by November 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we owed $23.5 million on the Bank of America Loan.
Results of Operations
Overview
As of September 30, 2008, our portfolio consisted of three properties. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we acquired one additional property, bringing our total portfolio to four properties as of September 30, 2009. Accordingly, the results of operations presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not directly comparable.
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus the three months ended September 30, 2009
Rental income remained relatively stable at $1,367,994 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $1,421,951 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Absent securing leases for the currently vacant space at the Commerce Street Building and the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, we expect future rental income to remain at a level similar to current rental income until May 2010 at which point rental income is expected to decline unless Wells VAF I is able to secure a replacement tenant for the square footage at the Nathan Lane Building that Brocade has contracted to return to Wells VAF I (see Note 7 Subsequent Event).
Tenant reimbursements increased from $211,510 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $305,681 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of a lease amendment executed with CGLIC at the Park Lane Building in July 2008, which reduced the base rental rate in favor of requiring the tenant to reimburse the landlord for its pro rata share of the property operating costs and real estate taxes effective
Page 19
Table of Contents
August 1, 2008. Absent securing leases for the currently vacant space at the Commerce Street Building and the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, we expect future rental income to remain at a level similar to current rental income until May 2010 at which point rental income is expected to decline unless Wells VAF I is able to secure a replacement tenant for the square footage at the Nathan Lane Building that Brocade has contracted to return to Wells VAF I (see Note 7 Subsequent Event).
Bad debt recoveries decreased from $188,662 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of collecting previously reserved amounts due from the seller of the Park Lane Building in the third quarter of 2008.
Property operating costs increased from $527,937 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $699,660 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008, partially offset by a reduction in the estimated real estate taxes incurred at the Commerce Street Building in the third quarter of 2009. Absent additional significant changes in real estate taxes, property operating costs are expected to remain at similar levels in the future.
Asset and property management fees increased from $118,393 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $163,156 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008. We anticipate asset and property management fees to remain at similar levels in the future.
Depreciation expense increased from $198,554 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $339,516 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008. Absent leasing activity at the properties in our portfolio, we anticipate depreciation expense to remain at similar levels in the future.
Amortization expense decreased from $1,044,130 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $701,313 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of recognizing less amortization of intangible lease assets in 2009 due to the expiration of the lease that was in place at the time of the acquisition of the Park Lane Building. The lease with the majority tenant at the Park Lane Building was extended in July 2008. Absent leasing activity at the properties in our portfolio, we anticipate amortization expense to remain at similar levels in the future.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $186,532 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $151,528 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees incurred in connection with collecting reserved amounts due from the seller of the Park Lane Building in the third quarter of 2008 (see the bad debt recoveries disclosure above). We anticipate that changes in the future levels of our general and administrative expenses will vary primarily dependent upon future changes in our reporting and regulatory requirements.
Interest expense increased from $122,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $314,054 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding on the Bank of America Loan related to the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008 and an increase in the annualized borrowing rate from one-month LIBOR, plus 2.25%, to one-month LIBOR, plus 4.50%, effective June 30, 2009. All else being equal, we anticipate interest expense to remain at similar levels in future periods.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2009
Rental income decreased from $4,379,288 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $4,134,520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a lease amendment executed with CGLIC at the Park Lane Building in July 2008, which reduced the base rental rate in favor of requiring the tenant to reimburse

the landlord for its pro rata share of the property operating costs and real estate taxes effective August 1, 2008. Absent securing leases for the currently vacant space at the Commerce Street Building and the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, we expect future rental income to remain at a level similar to current rental income until May 2010 at which point rental income is expected to decline unless Wells VAF I is able to secure a replacement tenant for the square footage at the Nathan Lane Building that Brocade has contracted to return to Wells VAF I (see Note 7 Subsequent Event).
Tenant reimbursements increased from $493,289 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1,025,407 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the lease amendment executed with CGLIC in July 2008 explained above, which required the tenant to be responsible for funding its pro rata share of the property operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Park Lane Building effective August 1, 2008. Absent securing leases for the currently vacant space at the Commerce Street Building and the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, we expect future rental income to remain at a level similar to current rental income until May 2010 at which point rental income is expected to decline unless Wells VAF I is able to secure a replacement tenant for the square footage at the Nathan Lane Building that Brocade has contracted to return to Wells VAF I (see Note 7 Subsequent Event).
Bad debt recoveries decreased from $206,898 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of collecting previously reserved amounts due from the seller of the Park Lane Building in the third quarter of 2008.
Property operating costs increased from $1,621,013 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2,274,382 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008 and an increase in real estate taxes levied at the Commerce Street Building. Absent additional significant changes in real estate taxes, property operating costs are expected to remain at similar levels in the future.
Asset and property management fees increased from $349,039 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $482,451 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008. We anticipate asset and property management fees to remain at similar levels in the future.
Depreciation expense increased from $587,321 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1,007,529 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008. Absent leasing activity at the properties in our portfolio, we anticipate depreciation expense to remain at similar levels in the future.
Amortization expense decreased from $3,087,637 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2,219,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of recognizing less amortization of intangible lease assets in 2009 due to the expiration of the lease that was in place at the time of the acquisition of the Park Lane Building, partially offset by an increase in amortization of deferred leasing costs incurred at the Park Lane Building as a result of the July 2008 CGLIC lease amendment. Absent leasing activity at the properties in our portfolio, we anticipate amortization expense to remain at similar levels in the future.
General and administrative expenses increased from $450,731 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $587,888 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in legal fees, accounting fees, and printing costs incurred in connection with additional reporting and regulatory requirements, partially offset by a decrease in legal fees at the Park Lane Building incurred in connection with collecting reserved amounts due from the seller of the Park Lane Building in the third quarter of 2008 (see the bad debt recoveries disclosure above). We anticipate that changes in the future levels of our general and administrative expenses will vary primarily dependent upon future changes in our reporting and regulatory requirements.

Interest expense increased from $460,871 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $729,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding on the Bank of America Loan related to the acquisition of the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings in October 2008 and an increase in the annualized borrowing rate from one-month LIBOR, plus 2.25%, to one-month LIBOR, plus 4.50%, effective June 30, 2009. All else being equal, we anticipate interest expense to increase as a result of the aforementioned change in the Bank of America Loan borrowing rate, effective June 30, 2009.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that would protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, 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. However, due to the long-term nature of our leases, the leases may not readjust their reimbursement rates frequently enough to cover inflation.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with 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 managements judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions are different, it is possible that different accounting policies would be 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 Wells VAF I, which are considered critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
Real Estate Assets
Investment in Real Estate Assets
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net loss. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:
Buildings |
40 years | |
Building improvements |
5-25 years | |
Site improvements |
10 years | |
Tenant improvements |
Shorter of lease term or economic life | |
Intangible lease assets |
Lease term |
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets and related intangible assets which Wells VAF I owns may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of the real estate assets and related intangible assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated
Page 22
Table of Contents
undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use or the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the carrying values, we adjust the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognize an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information in order of preference, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of any of Wells VAF Is real estate assets and related intangible assets as of September 30, 2009.
Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the propertys ultimate fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net loss.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of properties to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on our estimate of their fair values. As further described below, in-place leases with Wells VAF I as the lessor may have values related to: direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, tenant relationships, and effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates:
| Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, including commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs, are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. Such direct costs are included in intangible lease origination costs in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. |
| The value of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals avoided by acquiring an in-place lease is calculated based on the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Such opportunity costs are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. |
| The value of tenant relationships is calculated based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. Values associated with tenant relationships are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. |
| The value of effective rental rates of in-place leases that are above or below the market rates of comparable leases is calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. |

Evaluating the Recoverability of Intangible Assets and Liabilities
The values of intangible lease assets and liabilities are determined based on assumptions made at the time of acquisition and have defined useful lives, which correspond with the lease terms. There may be instances in which intangible lease assets and liabilities become impaired and Wells VAF I is required to expense the remaining asset or liability immediately or over a shorter period of time. Lease restructurings, including but not limited to lease terminations and lease extensions, may impact the value and useful life of in-place leases.
Page 24
Table of Contents
In-place leases that are terminated, partially terminated, or modified will be evaluated for impairment if the original in-place lease terms have been modified. In the event that the discounted cash flows of the original in-place lease stream do not exceed the discounted modified in-place lease stream, Wells VAF I adjusts the carrying value of the intangible lease assets to the discounted cash flows and recognizes an impairment loss. For in-place lease extensions that are executed more than one year prior to the original in-place lease expiration date, the useful life of the in-place lease will be extended over the new lease term with the exception of those in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, which have been renegotiated for the extended term. Renegotiated in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, will be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the new lease term.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with WIM, Wells Management, and WIS whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to WIM, Wells Management, and WIS for selling commissions; dealer-manager fees; acquisition and advisory fees; reimbursements for acquisition expenses; reimbursements for organizational and offering expenses; asset management fees; administrative services relating to accounting, portfolio management, and other general and administrative, and incur the related expenses. See Note 5 to our financial statements included in this report for a description of these fees and reimbursements and amounts incurred.
Commitments and Contingencies
Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells VAF I to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. As a result of a lease amendment executed in July 2008, the major tenant at the Park Lane Building, CGLIC, has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $1.5 million, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As a result of a lease agreement executed in June 2009, one of the tenants at the Parkway at Oak Hill Buildings, Espey, has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $0.6 million, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As a result of a lease agreement executed in October 2009 (see Note 7 Subsequent Event), one of the tenants at the Nathan Lane Building, Brocade, has the right to request tenant improvements up to approximately $1.3 million through May 1, 2011, which would be required to be funded by Wells VAF I. As of October 31, 2009, Wells VAF I has funded approximately $228,000 of the aforementioned Espey tenant improvement reimbursement obligation.
Subsequent Event
Leasing Activity at the Nathan Lane Building
On October 20, 2009, Wells VAF I and Brocade, entered into a new lease agreement at the Nathan Lane Building, which terms are effective as of May 1, 2010. The new lease agreement reduced Brocades square footage from approximately 81% of the building to approximately 24% of the building and extended the lease term from April 30, 2010 to July 31, 2017. Pursuant to the new lease agreement, Brocade will no longer manage the Nathan Lane Building and its annual base rent will increase from an average of approximately $10.12 per square foot to an average of approximately $14.20 per square foot. Brocades annual base rent will increase by approximately 3% annually beginning in May 2011, the thirteenth month of the lease. In addition to annual base rent, Brocade is also required to reimburse Wells VAF I for its pro rata share of all operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Nathan Lane Building. Brocade has the right to extend the lease term for two additional five-year periods at the then fair market rental rate.
