$3.78

$3.58
*These amounts are intended to represent the per-unit distributions received by limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Fund in the original public offering of units.
As you know, these valuations do not assume an orderly liquidation of the properties, but rather a hypothetical immediate sale of all the Fund's assets on December 31, 2011.

The estimated valuations per unit were derived by first calculating the estimated value of each property, then summing the estimated value of each property included within the Fund's property portfolio, along with undistributed sale proceeds and cash reserves, if any. The segregation of estimated valuations for “Cash-Preferred” and “Tax-Preferred” Units was achieved by virtue of a calculation in accordance with a predetermined order of distribution of sale proceeds in regard to class status outlined in the partnership agreement. The estimated valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Fund in the original public offering of units, taking into account conversion elections as provided for in the partnership agreement.

Property values were estimated by Wells Real Estate Funds and reviewed by The David L. Beal Company, an independent real estate consulting and appraisal company. These estimated valuations contain no expressed or implied guarantee as to the price that units in the Fund might sell for in an actual transaction, nor do they provide any indication of the future financial performance of the Fund.
