Re: Update on Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P., including 2013 estimated valuations

Dear Custodian or Plan Trustee:

We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with the 2013 estimated unit values for Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P.

The estimated unit valuations for Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P., are as follows:
 
“Cash-Preferred” Units
“Tax-Preferred” Units

Fund XIV
$10.00
$2.12
$—
$1.92
$1.89
$—
$1.61
*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 property, but rather a hypothetical sale of all the Fund’s assets on December 31, 2013.

The estimated valuations per unit were derived by first calculating the estimated value of property, then summing the estimated value of the remaining property, 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.

The property value was 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.

What Impacted the Estimated Valuations?
The following property-level factors had a material effect on the estimated values:

Siemens - Orlando Building
The value of the asset declined as a result of nearing the natural lease expiration date of April 2014 for the majority tenant, Siemens Shared Services, which leases approximately 63% of the building. Negotiations are underway to renew the tenant in place; however, no assumptions can be provided that a lease extension will be executed.
