CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K of Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P. (the "Partnership" or the "Registrant") other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). 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 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 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-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 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 and provide distributions to stockholders may be significantly hindered. Contained in Item 1A are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements.

PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
General
Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P. (the "Partnership," "we," "our" or "us") is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. ("Wells Capital"), a Georgia corporation, serving as its general partners (collectively, the "General Partners"). Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. ("WREF"). Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the sole director and sole owner of WREF. The Partnership was formed on October 25, 2002, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing commercial properties for investment purposes. Upon subscription, limited partners elected to have their units treated as Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units. Thereafter, limited partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of their units treated as Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units one time during each quarterly accounting period ("conversion elections"). Limited partners may vote to, among other things: (a) amend the partnership agreement, subject to certain limitations; (b) change our business purpose or investment objectives; (c) add or remove a general partner; (d) elect a new general partner; (e) dissolve the Partnership; (f) authorize a merger or a consolidation of the Partnership; and (g) approve a sale involving all or substantially all of our assets, subject to certain limitations. A majority vote on any of the described matters will bind the Partnership, without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of the class of the unit.
On May 14, 2003, we commenced an offering of up to $45,000,000 of Cash Preferred or Tax Preferred limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act. The offering was terminated on April 30, 2005, at which time we had sold approximately 2,531,031 Cash Preferred Units and 943,093 Tax Preferred Units representing total limited partner capital contributions of $34,741,238.
Operating Phases and Objectives
We typically operate in the following five life-cycle phases and, during which, typically focus on the following key operating objectives. 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 we are raising capital through the sale and issuance of limited partner units to the public;
Investing phase
The period during which we invest the capital raised during the fundraising phase, less up-front fees, into the acquisition of real estate assets;
Holding phase
The period during which we own and operate our real estate assets 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, we expend time, effort, and funds to re-lease such space to existing and/or new tenants. Following the holding phase, we continue 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 we sell our real estate investments, distribute net sale proceeds to the partners, liquidate, and terminate the Partnership.

We are currently in the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. On December 31, 2014, Fund XIII and Fund XIV Associates sold the Siemens - Orlando Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of approximately $13.6 million. As a result of the sale, we received net sale proceeds of approximately $6.9 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.4 million. With the completion of the sale of the Siemens - Orlando Building, we have sold all of the real estate assets in which we had owned interests. We have begun to take the steps necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership.
Employees
We have 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 and administrative services for us, including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management, and investor relations. See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,"

3


for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners or their affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
Operational Dependency
We have engaged Wells Capital and Wells Management to provide certain essential services, including supervision of the management and leasing of our remaining property, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities, including accounting services and investor communications and relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60 days' written notice. As a result of these relationships, our operations are dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.
Wells Capital and Wells Management are owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and their affiliates represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we might be required to find alternative service providers. Beginning in 2013, WREF began winding down its operations and, as a result, its workforce has been reduced. As of December 31, 2014, we have no reason to believe that WREF does not have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash on hand, other investments, and borrowing capacity, necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.
Proxy to Liquidate
Under Section 20.2 of the partnership agreement, limited partners holding 10% or more of the outstanding units have the right, at any time commencing eight years after the termination of the Partnership's offering of units (April 30, 2013), to provide a written request to the General Partners directing the General Partners to formally proxy the limited partners to determine whether the assets of the Partnership should be liquidated. With the completion of the sale of the Siemens - Orlando Building, we have sold all of the real estate assets in which we had owned interests, either directly or through investments in the Joint Venture. We have begun to take the steps necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership.

We maintain an Internet website, located at http://www.wellsref.com.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
General Investment Risks
The Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act ("GRULPA") does not grant you any specific voting rights, and your rights are limited under our partnership agreement.
A vote of a majority in interest of the limited partners is sufficient to take the following significant Partnership actions:
to amend our partnership agreement;
to change our business purpose or our investment objectives;
to add or to remove a general partner;
to elect a new general partner;
to dissolve the Partnership;
to authorize a merger or a consolidation of the Partnership; or
to approve a sale involving all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, subject to certain limitations.
These are your only significant voting rights granted under our partnership agreement. In addition, GRULPA does not grant you any specific voting rights. Therefore, your voting rights are severely limited.



4


You are bound by the majority vote on matters on which you are entitled to vote.
Limited partners may approve any of the above actions by majority vote of the outstanding units. Therefore, you are bound by such majority vote even if you do not vote with the majority on any of these actions.
Under our partnership agreement, we are required to indemnify our General Partners under certain circumstances, which may reduce returns to our limited partners.
Under our partnership agreement and subject to certain limitations, we are required to indemnify our General Partners from and against losses, liabilities, and damages relating to or arising out of any action or inaction on behalf of us done in good faith and in our best interest. If substantial and expensive litigation should ensue and we are obligated to indemnify one or both General Partners, we may be forced to use substantial funds to do so, which may reduce the return on your investment.
Payment of fees to our General Partners or their affiliates will reduce cash available for distributions to our limited partners.
Our General Partners or their affiliates performed services for us in connection with the management and leasing of our former properties. Our affiliates received property management, leasing, and asset management fees of 4.5% of gross revenues in connection with the properties we owned. In addition, we will reimburse our General Partners or their affiliates for the administrative services necessary to our prudent operation and liquidation, which includes actual costs of goods, services, and materials used for or by us. These fees and reimbursements will reduce the amount of cash available for distributions to our limited partners.
The availability and the timing of cash distributions are uncertain.
We cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to make distributions to you from either net cash from operations or proceeds from the sale of properties. We bear all expenses incurred in connection with our operations, which are deducted from cash funds generated by operations prior to computing the amount of net cash from operations to be distributed to our general and limited partners. In addition, our General Partners, in their discretion, may retain all or any portion of net cash generated from our operations and/or proceeds from the sale of our properties for working capital reserves.
The amount available for distribution to our limited partners could be reduced if our expectations regarding wind down costs are inaccurate.
 
We are in the process of evaluating the amount of cash reserves needed to settle estimated liabilities of the Partnership at dissolution and intend to distribute the cash balances remaining at that time to the limited partners pursuant to applicable provisions of the partnership agreement in 2015.  Claims, liabilities and expenses from operations (such as administrative costs, all applicable taxes, legal and accounting fees and miscellaneous office expenses) will continue to be incurred as we seek to wind down our business. Our expectations regarding our expenses may be inaccurate. Any unexpected claims, liabilities or expenses, or any claims, liabilities or expenses that exceed our current estimates, could reduce the amount of cash available for ultimate distribution to our limited partners. If cash on hand is not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims, we may not be able to make any liquidating distributions to our limited partners.

We may maintain cash balances in our bank accounts that exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and such excess amounts are subject to loss, which may reduce your returns.
We maintain bank accounts with high-credit, quality financial institutions and may concentrate our funds among certain of these banks. At times, our cash balances may exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In the event of these financial institutions failing, we may lose the amount of our deposits over any amount insured by the FDIC, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our results of operations.

Marketability and Transferability Risks

There is no public trading market for your units.
There is no public market for your units, and we do not anticipate that any public trading market for your units will ever develop. If you attempt to sell your units, you would likely do so at substantially discounted prices on the secondary market. Further, our partnership agreement restricts our ability to participate in a public trading market or anything substantially equivalent to one by providing that any transfer which may cause us to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership" as defined in Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed void and shall not be recognized. Because classification of the Partnership as a "publicly traded partnership" may significantly decrease the value of your units, our General Partners intend to use their authority to the maximum extent possible to prohibit transfers of units which could cause us to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership."

5


Your units have limited transferability and lack liquidity due to restrictions under state regulatory laws and our partnership agreement.
You are limited in your ability to transfer your units. Our partnership agreement and certain state regulatory agencies have imposed restrictions relating to the number of units you may transfer. In addition, the suitability standards applied to you upon the purchase of your units may also be applied to persons to whom you wish to transfer your units. Accordingly, you may find it difficult to sell your units for cash or if you are able to sell your units, you may have to sell your units at a substantial discount. You may not be able to sell your units in the event of an emergency, and your units are not likely to be accepted as collateral for a loan.
Our estimated unit valuations should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners' units.

The estimated unit valuations contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 properties we owned, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive in a liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with the net sale proceeds distribution allocation outlined in the partnership agreement. There is no established public trading market for our limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only and are based on a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. Further, these estimated valuations are applicable only to limited partners who purchased their units directly from us in our original public offering of units. It also should be noted that as properties were sold and the net proceeds from property sales distributed to limited partners, the resulting value of our limited partnership units naturally declined.

Special Risks Regarding Status of Units
If you hold Cash Preferred Units, we expect that you will be allocated more income than cash flow.
Since limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units are allocated substantially all of our net income, and since substantially all deductions for depreciation and other tax losses are allocated to limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units, we expect that those of you who hold Cash Preferred Units will be allocated taxable income in excess of your cash distributions. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be available for distribution in any year.
The desired effect of holding Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units may be reduced depending on how many limited partners hold each type of unit.
You will be entitled to different rights and priorities as to distributions of cash flow from operations and net sale proceeds and as to the allocation of depreciation and other tax losses depending upon whether you are holding Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units. However, the effect of any advantage associated with holding Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units may be significantly reduced or eliminated, depending upon the ratio of Cash Preferred Units to Tax Preferred Units during any given period. We will not attempt to restrict the ratio of Cash Preferred Units to Tax Preferred Units, and we will not attempt to establish or maintain any particular ratio.
Management Risks
You must rely on our General Partners for management of our business.
Our General Partners make all decisions with respect to the management of the Partnership. Limited partners have no right or power to take part in the management of the Partnership, except through the exercise of limited voting rights. Therefore, you must rely almost entirely on our General Partners for management of the Partnership and the operation of our business. Our General Partners may be removed only under certain conditions set forth in our partnership agreement. If our General Partners are removed, they will receive payment equal to the fair market value of their interests in the Partnership, as agreed upon by our General Partners and the Partnership or by arbitration if they are unable to agree.
Our ability to carry out our current business objectives may be adversely affected by the winding down of WREF. 
 
WREF is winding down its operations and, as a result, its workforce and available capital have been significantly reduced.  Accordingly, we may not be able to rely on our General Partners to allocate sufficient time and resources to our operations, which may adversely affect our ability to operate our business and liquidate.

Leo F. Wells, III has a primary role in determining what is in the best interest of the Partnership and our limited partners.
Leo F. Wells, III is one of our General Partners and is the president, treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, our other general partner. Therefore, one person has a primary role in determining what is in the best interest of the Partnership and our limited partners. Although Mr. Wells relies on the input of the officers and other employees of Wells Capital, he ultimately has the authority to make decisions affecting our Partnership operations. Therefore, Mr. Wells alone will determine the propriety of his own actions, which could result in a conflict of interest when he is faced with any significant decision relating to our Partnership affairs.
Our loss of, or inability to obtain, key personnel could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could limit our ability to make distributions.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Leo F. Wells, III, Randy A. Simmons, and Kerianne Maloney, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We cannot guarantee that such persons will remain affiliated with us. If any of Wells Capital's key personnel were to cease their affiliation with us, we may be unable to find suitable replacement personnel, and our operating results could suffer. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon the ability of our General Partners to hire and retain highly skilled managerial and operational personnel. If we lose, or are unable to obtain, the services of highly skilled personnel or do not establish or maintain appropriate strategic relationships, our ability to effectively liquidate and distribute remaining cash to limited partners and the value of your investment may decline.
Our operating performance could suffer if Wells Capital incurs significant losses, including those losses that may result from being the general partner of other entities.
We are dependent on Wells Capital to conduct our operations; thus, adverse changes in the financial condition of Wells Capital, including changes arising from litigation or our relationship with Wells Capital, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. As a general partner in many WREF-sponsored programs, Wells Capital may have contingent liabilities for the obligations of such programs. Enforcement of such obligations against Wells Capital could result in a substantial reduction of its net worth. If such liabilities affected the level of services that Wells Capital could provide, our operations and financial performance could suffer.
Our General Partners have a limited net worth consisting of illiquid assets, which may affect their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to us.
The net worth of our General Partners consists primarily of interests in real estate, retirement plans, partnerships, and closely held businesses and, in the case of Wells Capital, receivables from affiliated corporations and partnerships. Accordingly, the net worth of our General Partners is illiquid and not readily marketable. This illiquidity may be relevant to you in evaluating the ability of our General Partners to fulfill their financial obligations to us. In addition, our General Partners have significant commitments to the other investment programs sponsored by WREF ("Wells programs").
Our administrative operating expenses, including expenses associated with operating as a public company in the current regulatory environment, could limit our ability to make distributions.
We bear all expenses incurred in connection with our operations, which are deducted from cash funds generated by operations prior to computing the amount of net cash from operations to be distributed to our limited partners. Therefore, as a result of the general and administrative operating expenses and percentage of such expenses, we cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to make future distributions to you from either net cash from our operations or proceeds from the sale of our properties.
Conflicts of Interest Risks
Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to time management, which could result in lower returns on our investments.
Because our General Partners and their affiliates have interests in other real estate programs and also engage in other business activities, they could have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities, which could affect our operations. You should note that our partnership agreement does not specify any minimum amount of time or level of attention that our General Partners are required to devote to the Partnership.



7


Investments in a joint venture with affiliates will result in additional risks involving our relationship with the co-venturer.
We have entered into a joint venture with affiliates. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, including, for example:
the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner in an investment might become bankrupt;
that such co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are, or which may become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or
that such co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.
Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner might result in subjecting the property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing your returns.
Our General Partners will face various conflicts of interest relating to a joint venture with affiliates.
Since our General Partners and their affiliates control both the Partnership and other affiliates, transactions between the parties with respect to the joint venture between such parties do not have the benefit of arm's-length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Under the joint venture arrangement, neither co-venturer has the power to control the venture, and an impasse could be reached regarding matters pertaining to the joint venture, which might have a negative influence on the joint venture and decrease potential returns to you. In the event that a co-venturer has a right of first refusal to buy out the other co-venturer, it may be unable to finance such a buy-out at that time. It may also be difficult for us to sell our interest in any such joint venture or partnership or as a co-tenant in property. In addition, to the extent that our co-venturer, partner, or co-tenant is an affiliate of our General Partners, certain conflicts of interest will exist.
Federal Income Tax Risks
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") may challenge our characterization of material tax aspects of your investment in the Partnership.
An investment in units involves certain material income tax risks, the character and extent of which are, to some extent, a function of whether you hold Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units. We will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding any of the tax issues related to your units.
Investors may realize taxable income without cash distributions.
As a limited partner in the Partnership, you are required to report your allocable share of our taxable income on your personal income tax return regardless of whether or not you have received any cash distributions from the Partnership. For example, if you hold Cash Preferred Units, you will be allocated substantially all of our net income, defined in the partnership agreement to mean generally net income for federal income tax purposes, including any income exempt from tax, but excluding all deductions for depreciation and amortization and gain or loss from the sale of our properties, even if such income is in excess of any distributions of cash from our operations. If you hold Cash Preferred Units, you will likely be allocated taxable income in excess of any distributions to you, and the amount of cash received by you could be less than the income tax attributable to the net income allocated to you.
We could potentially be characterized as a publicly traded partnership resulting in unfavorable tax results.
If the IRS were to classify the Partnership as a "publicly traded partnership," we could be taxable as a corporation, and distributions made to you could be treated as portfolio income to you rather than passive income. We cannot assure you that we will not, at some time in the future, be treated as a publicly traded partnership due to the following factors:
the complex nature of the IRS rules governing our potential exemption from classification as a publicly traded partnership;
the lack of interpretive guidance with respect to such rules; and
the fact that any determination in this regard will necessarily be based upon events that have not yet occurred.



8


The IRS may challenge our allocations of profit and loss.
While it is more likely than not that Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit will be allocated among our General Partners and our limited partners substantially in accordance with the allocation provisions of the partnership agreement, we cannot assure you that the IRS will not successfully challenge the allocations in the partnership agreement and reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit in a manner which reduces the anticipated tax benefits to limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units or increases the income allocated to limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units.
We may be audited and additional tax, interest, and penalties may be imposed upon you.
Our federal income tax returns may be audited by the IRS. Any audit of the Partnership could result in an audit of your tax return, causing adjustments of items unrelated to your investment in the Partnership, in addition to adjustments to various Partnership items. In the event of any such adjustments, you might incur accountants' or attorneys' fees, court costs, and other expenses contesting deficiencies asserted by the IRS. You also may be liable for interest on any underpayment and certain penalties from the date your tax was originally due. The tax treatment of all Partnership items will generally be determined at the Partnership level in a single proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with each partner, and our General Partners are primarily responsible for contesting federal income tax adjustments proposed by the IRS. In this connection, our General Partners may extend the statute of limitations as to all partners and, in certain circumstances, may bind the partners to a settlement with the IRS. Further, our General Partners may cause us to elect to be treated as an "electing large partnership." If they do, we could take advantage of simplified flow-through reporting of Partnership items. Adjustments to Partnership items would continue to be determined at the Partnership level, however, and any such adjustments would be accounted for in the year they take effect, rather than in the year to which such adjustments relate. Accordingly, if you make an election to change the status of your units between the years in which a tax benefit is claimed and an adjustment is made, you may suffer a disproportionate adverse impact with respect to any such adjustment. Further, our General Partners will have the discretion in such circumstances either to pass along any such adjustments to the partners or to bear such adjustments at the Partnership level, thereby potentially adversely impacting the limited partners holding a particular class of units disproportionately to limited partners holding the other class of units.
State and local taxes and a requirement to withhold state taxes may apply.
The state in which you reside may impose an income tax upon your share of our taxable income. Further, states in which we own properties may impose income taxes upon your share of our taxable income allocable to any property located in that state or other taxes on limited partnerships owning properties in their states. Many states have implemented or are implementing programs to require partnerships to withhold and pay state income taxes owed by nonresident partners relating to income-producing properties located in their states, and we may be required to withhold state taxes from cash distributions otherwise payable to you. In the event we are required to withhold state taxes from your cash distributions, or pay other state taxes, the amount of the net cash from operations otherwise payable to you would be reduced. In addition, such collection and filing requirements at the state level may result in increases in our administrative expenses, which would have the effect of reducing cash available for distribution to you. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors with respect to the impact of applicable state and local taxes and state tax withholding requirements or other potential state taxes relating to an investment in our units.
Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.
In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial, and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our units. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a limited partner. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our units. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on your investment in units and the status of legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our units.
Retirement Plan and Qualified Plan Risks
There are special considerations that apply to a pension or profit-sharing trust or an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") investing in units.
If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit-sharing, Section 401(k), Keogh, or other qualified retirement plan or the assets of an IRA in units, you should satisfy yourself that:
your investment is consistent with your fiduciary obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code;

9


your investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your plan or IRA, including your plan's investment policy;
your investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA;
your investment will not impair the liquidity of the plan or IRA;
your investment will not produce "unrelated business taxable income" for the plan or IRA;
you will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements; and
your investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.
We may dissolve the Partnership if our assets are deemed to be plan assets or if we engage in prohibited transactions.
If our assets were deemed to be assets of qualified plans investing as limited partners, i.e., plan assets, our General Partners would be considered to be fiduciaries of such plans and certain contemplated transactions between our General Partners or their affiliates, and us may then be deemed to be "prohibited transactions" subject to excise taxation under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, if our assets were deemed to be plan assets, the standards of prudence and other provisions of ERISA applicable to plan fiduciaries would apply to the General Partners with respect to our investments. We have not sought a ruling from the U.S. Department of Labor regarding the potential classification of our assets as plan assets.
In this regard, U.S. Department of Labor regulations defining plan assets for purposes of ERISA contain exemptions which, if satisfied, would preclude assets of a limited partnership such as ours from being treated as plan assets. We cannot assure you that our partnership agreement has been structured so that the exemptions in such regulations would apply to us, although our General Partners intend that an investment by a qualified plan in units will not be deemed an investment in our assets. We can make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the consequences of an investment in our units by qualified plans in this regard. Plan fiduciaries are urged to consult with, and rely upon, their own advisors with respect to this and other ERISA issues which, if decided adversely to us, could result in qualified plan investors being deemed to have engaged in "prohibited transactions," which would cause the imposition of excise taxes and co-fiduciary liability under Section 405 of ERISA in the event actions taken by us are deemed to be nonprudent investments or "prohibited transactions."
In the event our assets are deemed to constitute plan assets or if certain transactions undertaken by us are deemed to constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, and no exemption for such transactions is obtainable by us, the General Partners have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to all limited partners, but without the consent of any limited partner, to:
compel a termination and dissolution of the Partnership; or
restructure our activities to the extent necessary to comply with any exemption in the U.S. Department of Labor regulations or any prohibited transaction exemption granted by the Department of Labor or any condition that the Department of Labor might impose as a condition to granting a prohibited transaction exemption.
Adverse tax consequences may result because of minimum distribution requirements.
If you hold units in an IRA or you intend to acquire units in a secondary market through your IRA, or if you are a custodian of an IRA or a trustee or other fiduciary of a retirement plan that is holding units or is considering an acquisition of units through a secondary market, you must consider the limited liquidity of an investment in our units as it relates to applicable minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. If units are held and our property has not yet been sold at such time as mandatory distributions are required to begin to an IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant, Sections 408(a)(6) and 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code will likely require that a distribution-in-kind of the units be made to the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant. Any such distribution-in-kind of units must be included in the taxable income of the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant for the year in which the units are received at the fair market value of the units, and taxes attributable thereto must be paid without any corresponding cash distributions from us with which to pay such income tax liability.




10


Unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") may be generated with respect to tax-exempt investors.
We do not intend or anticipate that the tax-exempt investors in the Partnership will be allocated income deemed to be derived from an unrelated trade or business. Notwithstanding this, the General Partners do have limited authority to borrow funds deemed necessary:
to finance improvements necessary to protect capital previously invested in a property;
to protect the value of our investment in a property; or
to make our remaining property more attractive for sale or lease.
Our General Partners have represented that they will not cause us to incur indebtedness unless they obtain an opinion from legal counsel or an opinion from our tax accountants that the proposed indebtedness more than likely will not cause the income allocable to tax-exempt investors to be characterized as UBTI. Any such opinion will have no binding effect on the IRS or any court, however, and some risk remains that we may generate UBTI for our tax-exempt investors in the event that it becomes necessary for us to borrow funds.
Further, in the event we were deemed to be a "dealer" in real property, defined as one who holds real estate primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, the gain realized on the sale of our properties, which is allocable to tax-exempt investors, would be characterized as UBTI.

Property Descriptions
The properties in which we owned an interest either directly or through the Joint Venture during the periods presented are further described below:
Siemens - Orlando Building
The Siemens - Orlando Building is comprised of two single-story office buildings containing approximately 82,000 aggregate rentable square feet, on an approximately 7.5-acre tract of land located in Orlando, Florida. On December 31, 2014, Fund XIII-XIV Associates sold the Siemens - Orlando Building to an unaffiliated third party for a gross sales price of $13,570,000, exclusive of closing costs. As result of the sale, the Partnership was allocated a gain of approximately $2,399,000. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $6,880,000 in January 2015.
150 Apollo Drive
The 150 Apollo Drive property is a three-story office building containing approximately 80,000 rentable square feet, located on a 4.5-acre parcel of land in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. On July 21, 2011, we sold the 150 Apollo Drive property to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $9,875,000. As a result of the sale, we received net sale proceeds of approximately $9,566,000 and recognized a gain of approximately $986,000. In the second quarter of 2010, we recognized an impairment loss of approximately $2,460,000 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value based on the present value of future cash flows.
3675 Kennesaw Building
The 3675 Kennesaw Building is a single-story distribution warehouse containing approximately 43,000 rentable square feet, located on an approximately 3.81-acre parcel of land in Kennesaw, Georgia. On December 29, 2010, World Electric Supply Inc. ("World Electric Supply"), the sole tenant of the 3675 Kennesaw Building, filed suit against the lessor entity, Wells Fund XIV-3675 Kennesaw 75 Parkway, LLC. The lawsuit sought a judicial declaration regarding the effectiveness of World Electric Supply's attempt to exercise its lease termination option in 2010 and asked the Court to declare that the lease was effectively terminated as of November 30, 2010. On October 5, 2011, the court entered an order granting a summary judgment in favor of Wells Fund XIV-3675 Kennesaw 75 Parkway, LLC and against World Electric Supply in the amount of $802,211. World Electric Supply filed a notice of appeal on October 7, 2011. On February 17, 2012, the parties reached a settlement agreement, which was contingent upon successful closing of the sale of the 3675 Kennesaw Building. Effective February 24, 2012, the settlement became final, the lease was terminated, and the litigation was dismissed with prejudice on March 1, 2012. On February 24, 2012 , we sold the 3675 Kennesaw Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sales price of $2,400,000. As a result of the sale, we received net sale proceeds of approximately $2,263,000 and recognized a gain of approximately $364,000. In the fourth quarter of 2010, we recognized an impairment loss of approximately $854,000 in order to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value based on the present value of future cash flows.
ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our 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 our results of operations or financial condition, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us.

PART II
ITEM 5.
MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS, RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF UNITS.
Summary
As of February 28, 2015, 3,073,615 Cash Preferred Units and 400,508 Tax Preferred Units, held by a total of 591 and 76 limited partners, respectively, were outstanding. Original capital contributions were equal to $10.00 per each limited partnership unit. As of February 28, 2015, we have returned capital in the form of distributions of net sale proceeds to its limited partners equal to, on average, $5.42 per Cash Preferred Unit and $6.90 per Tax Preferred Unit, as further described below. A public trading market has

12


not been established for our 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 under certain circumstances.
Unit Valuation
Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and the 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 to the limited partners each year in our 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 our properties were sold at their estimated fair market values as of the end of our fiscal year and the proceeds therefrom, plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by us at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation in accordance with the net sale proceeds distribution allocation outlined in the partnership agreement. 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 us in our original public offering of units, taking into account conversion elections as provided for in the partnership agreement.
Our remaining property was sold in 2014. The General Partners of the Partnership recently completed their estimated unit valuations based upon remaining cash reserves as of December 31, 2014. The General Partners have estimated our unit values to be approximately $2.60 per Cash Preferred Unit and $2.60 per Tax Preferred Unit. There is no established public trading market for our limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners units or for how much limited partners might be able to sell their units.
The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only and are based on a number of assumptions that 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 are applicable only to limited partners who purchased their units directly from us in our 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 our limited partners, 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 our 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 as our properties were sold and the net proceeds from property sales are distributed to limited partners, the remaining value of our portfolio of properties and resulting value of our limited partnership units naturally declined. In considering the foregoing estimated unit valuations, it should be noted that we have returned capital in the form of distributions of net sale proceeds to its limited partners equal to, on average, $5.42 per Cash Preferred Unit and $6.90 per Tax Preferred Unit. These amounts are intended to represent the per-unit distributions received by limited partners who purchased their units directly from us in our original public offering of units, and who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement. Limited partners who have made one or more conversion elections would have received different levels of per-unit distributions.
Operating Distributions
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 allocated first to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units (and limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units that have elected a conversion right that allows them to share in the distribution rights of limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units) until they have received an amount equal to 10% of their adjusted capital contributions. Cash available for distribution is then distributed to the General Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of cash distributions previously distributed to the limited partners. Any remaining cash available for distribution is split between the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units and the General Partners on a basis of 90% and 10%, respectively. No operating distributions will be made to the limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units.
No operating cash distributions were paid to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units, or to the General Partners during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.


13


Net Sale Proceeds Distributions
Upon the sale of properties, unless reserved, 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 Cash Preferred 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 Tax Preferred Units with respect to such property;
To limited partners holding units which at any time have been treated as Tax Preferred Units until each such limited partner has received an amount necessary to equal the net cash from operations previously distributed to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units on a per-unit basis;
To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received 100% of their respective net capital contributions, as defined;
To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received a cumulative 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined;
To limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their respective preferential limited partner returns (defined as the sum of a 10% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Cash Preferred Units and a 15% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Tax Preferred Units);
To the General Partners until they have received 100% of their respective capital contributions, as defined;
Then, if limited partners have received any excess limited partner distributions (defined as distributions to limited partners over the life of their investment in the Partnership in excess of their net capital contributions, as defined, plus their preferential limited partner return), to the General Partners until they have received distributions equal to 20% of the sum of any such excess limited partner distributions, plus distributions made to the General Partners pursuant to this provision; and
Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners on a per-unit basis and 20% to the General Partners.
No net sale proceeds distributions were paid to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units, or to the General Partners during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data presented in Item 6 and our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Part I of this report and "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this report.
Overview
Portfolio Overview
We have transitioned into the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. On December 31, 2014, Fund XIII-XIV Associates sold the Siemens - Orlando Building to an unaffiliated third party for a gross sales price of $13,570,000, exclusive of adjustments and closing costs. As a result of the sale, we were allocated a gain of approximately $2,399,000. We received net sale proceeds of approximately $6,880,000 in January 2015. With the completion of the sale of the Siemens - Orlando Building, we have sold all of the real estate assets in which we had owned interests, either directly or through investments in the Joint Venture. We have begun to take the steps necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership.
The fourth quarter 2014 operating distributions to limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units were reserved. The General Partners have declared a net sale proceeds distribution of approximately $7,254,000 to be paid to limited partners in April 2015. The General Partners have determined that the residual net sale proceeds will be held in reserve to fund dissolution expenses and obligations of the Partnership. The General Partners anticipate making a final liquidating distribution of unused reserves to the limited partners and dissolving the Partnership in the second quarter of 2015.
Property Summary
Following the sale of the Siemens - Orlando Building in December 2014, we have now sold all of the real estate assets in which we had owned interests, either directly or through investments in the Joint Venture. We have begun to take the steps necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2015.
Information relating to the properties owned by the Partnership or its Joint Venture is presented below:
The 7500 Setzler Parkway property was sold on January 31, 2007.
The Randstad – Atlanta Building was sold on April 24, 2007.
The 150 Apollo Drive property was sold on July 21, 2011.
The 3675 Kennesaw Building was sold on February 24, 2012.
The Siemens – Orlando Building was sold on December 31, 2014.
General Economic Conditions and Real Estate Market Commentary

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

As measured by the U.S. real gross domestic product (“real GDP”), the U.S. economy increased by 2.2% in 2014, according to estimates, consistent with the increase in 2013. The growth of the U.S. economy in 2014 primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, nonresidential fixed investment, exports, private inventory investment, state and local government spending, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a negative contribution from federal government spending. While there are still challenges to the U.S. economic expansion, management believes the U.S. economy will remain on an upward track as there are several signs of positive momentum heading into 2015, including high consumer confidence largely attributable to low interest rates and falling oil prices, improved corporate earnings, and increased foreign investment driven by a strengthening U.S. dollar. Questions regarding monetary policy, specifically when the Federal Reserve will begin to increase interest rates, have become increasingly common as the economy begins to move towards pre-recession levels. Given the trend of improving economic data observed at the end of 2014, we are cautiously optimistic that 2015 will deliver a real GDP growth number greater than the growth experienced in the prior two years and that corporate America will seek to reinvest its cash in the hiring of new employees as well as higher quality and growing office space.

The overall strengthening of the U.S. economy in 2014 was reflected in real estate market fundamentals, with major market indicators showing the speed of the recovery picking up aggressively. Net absorption was 22.4 million square feet in the fourth quarter and 71.7 million square feet for the year, which is an increase as compared to the 51.6 million square feet of net absorption in 2013 and makes 2014 the strongest year of demand since 2006. More than 70% of metropolitan areas experienced occupancy

16


gains in both 2013 and 2014. As a result of the additional space absorbed, vacancy levels declined to 11.5% in the fourth quarter of 2014, an improvement from a 12.2% vacancy rate at the end of 2013, with 56 out of 80 metropolitan areas (70%) showing declines in vacancy rates. As expansionary activity took place across markets in 2014, vacancy rates for all classes of office space declined, with Class A vacancy recording the sharpest year-over-year decline. Although vacancy is down significantly from its recessionary peak in 2010, it is still slightly higher than its pre-recession low in 2008. With vacancy declining in the majority of areas of the country, both rental rates and development activity trended upward. Average quoted rental rates of the total office market saw an increase from $23.67 per square foot in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $24.42 per square foot in the fourth quarter of 2014. Class A and Class B suburban office rents posted the highest year-over-year increases. Although tenants’ desire for Class A space has slowed in comparison to the early recovery, it is still evident that tenants prefer quality office space even as rental rates increase. Consistent with the prior two years, of the total net absorption in 2014, almost 60% occurred in Class A office space, which is above its 35% share of the office market, indicating a continued trend to quality assets by tenants.

Development activity continues to increase across the U.S. as tenant expansions and strengthening fundamentals further justify new construction. Only 10 of 48 major U.S. office markets are without construction activity, further affirming the economy's and office market’s expansion and positive outlook. If continued, this increase in development could lead to a shift in fundamentals from a landlord-favorable market to a more neutral or tenant-favorable market sometime in the next 36 months. At year-end, office investment sales volumes were up 21%. With $121.5 billion of deal volume in the U.S., 2014 marked the highest level of activity since 2007, although still 37% below prior peak levels in 2007. While strong office investment sale activity in primary markets continues to capture domestic capital flows, transacted square footage in secondary markets is representative of the expanding desire for these products in the market. In 2014, secondary markets comprised 53% of transacted square feet as compared to 43% in 2013. While not at the same level as primary markets, sales pricing for core, Class A product in top secondary markets grew between 15% and 25% year-over-year on a per square foot basis. As we enter 2015, we expect the investment sales momentum seen in 2014 to continue, thus resulting in further volume growth and capital appreciation. Growing domestic economic prospects and favorable lending conditions provide further optimism for the U.S. office property market.

Job growth was positive in 2014, with the unemployment rate declining more than one full percentage point to 5.6% at the end of the year. Essential to the commercial real estate sector, office-using employment continued to improve with the U.S. creating 873,000 office-using jobs, up from 721,000 in 2013, and 696,000 in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our operating strategy has entailed funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of Fund XIII and Fund XIV Associates' properties and the portfolio with operating cash flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from the Joint Venture, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that would have been required to fund known future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows were generally considered available for distribution to the Cash Preferred limited partners and, unless reserved, were generally paid quarterly. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash position has been critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources were available.
Short-Term Liquidity
During the year ended December 31, 2014, net cash outflows from operating activities were approximately $9,000 primarily due to the rental abatement period at the Siemens - Orlando Building associated with the Siemens Real Estate lease extension.
We believe that the cash on hand and distributions due from the Joint Venture will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including those provided for within our total liabilities of approximately $7,000, as of December 31, 2014. We anticipate making a final liquidating distribution of unused reserves to the limited partners and dissolving the Partnership in the second quarter of 2015.
Long-Term Liquidity
We have sold all of the real estate assets in which we had owned interests and do not anticipate acquiring additional properties. As a result of the sale of the last remaining real estate asset in which we held an interest in December 2014, we have begun to take the steps necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. We received net sale proceeds of approximately $6,880,000 in January 2015 from the sale of the Siemens-Orlando Building. We are in the process of evaluating the amount of cash reserves needed to settle estimated liabilities of the Partnership at dissolution and intend to distribute the cash balances remaining at that time to the limited partners pursuant to applicable provisions of the partnership agreement.

We received the proceeds for the Siemens - Orlando sale in January 2015. The General Partners have declared a net sale proceeds distribution of approximately $7,254,000 to be paid to limited partners in April 2015. The General Partners have determined that the residual net sale proceeds will be held in reserve to fund dissolution expenses and obligations of the Partnership. The General Partners anticipate making a final liquidating distribution of unused reserves to the limited partners and dissolving the Partnership in the second quarter of 2015.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2013 versus the year ended December 31, 2014
Continuing Operations
General and administrative expenses increased from $144,497 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $197,649 for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in administrative reimbursements and administrative costs allocated to the Partnership. The increase reflects an adjustment to the allocation method related to the winding down of WREF. With the winding down of WREF and reduction in workforce, we anticipate that general and administrative expenses will vary primarily based on future changes in estimates of time allocated to the Partnership.
Equity in income of Joint Venture increased from $383,726 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $2,807,123 for the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to recognizing a gain on the sale of the Siemens - Orlando Building in December 2014. We expect equity in income of Joint Venture to decrease in the near term as a result of selling the Siemens - Orlando Building.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with GAAP, we have classified the results of operations related to 150 Apollo Drive as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operations was $5,586 for the year ended December 31, 2013. While 150 Apollo Drive was sold during 2011, related discontinued operations are presented in 2013 as a result of an adjustment to tenant reimbursements and property operating costs in the second quarter of 2013.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2012 versus the year ended December 31, 2013
Continuing Operations
General and administrative expenses decreased from $166,151 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $144,497 for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in administrative reimbursements and administrative costs related to reporting and regulatory requirements.
Equity in income of Joint Venture remained relatively stable at $385,119 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $383,726 for the year ended December 31, 2013.


18


Discontinued Operations
In accordance with GAAP, we have classified the results of operations related to the 3675 Kennesaw Building as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Income from discontinued operations decreased from $853,665 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $5,586 for the year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of selling the 3675 Kennesaw Building in February 2012.
Inflation
We were exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases was the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There were provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that were intended to help protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions included 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.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Summary
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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 us and the Joint Venture, which are considered 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 were required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We considered the period of future benefit of the assets to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments had a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture's assets were depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings
  
40 years
Building improvements
  
5-25 years
Land improvements
  
20 years
Tenant improvements
  
Shorter of lease term or economic life
Intangible lease assets
  
Lease term
In the event that the Joint Venture utilized inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, our net income would have been misstated.
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that could have indicated that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which we had an ownership interest through investments in the Joint Ventures were not recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment were present which suggested that the carrying amounts of real estate assets were not recoverable, we assessed the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values would have been recovered through the estimated undiscounted future 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 value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale, did not exceed the respective assets’ carrying values, we adjusted the real estate assets to their respective 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 recognized an impairment loss. Estimated fair values were determined based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value.

19


Investment in Joint Venture
We have evaluated the Joint Venture and concluded that it is not a variable interest entity. We do not have control over the operations of the Joint Venture; however, we do exercise significant influence. Approval by us as well as the other joint venture partner is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Venture or its real property investments. Accordingly, we account for our investment in the Joint Venture 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 agreement, all income (loss) and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations, if available, are generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
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 our properties; and administrative services relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and we incur the related expenses. See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for a description of these fees and reimbursements and amounts incurred and "Risk Factors - Conflicts of Interest" in Item 1A of this report.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Note 4 and Note 10 of our accompanying financial statements for further explanations.

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 currency 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 this report on the pages indicated.
ITEM 9.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
There were no disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, one of our General Partners, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, which was completed as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2014, in providing a reasonable level of assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by or under the supervision of the Principal Executive

20


Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Partnership;
provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or members of the Financial Oversight Committee; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Partnership's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes and conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and represented within the time periods required.
Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2014. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management believes that our system of internal control over financial reporting met those criteria and, therefore, our management has concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B.    OTHER INFORMATION.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, all items required to be disclosed under Form 8-K were reported under Form 8-K.
PART III
ITEM 10.
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT'S GENERAL PARTNERS.
Wells Capital
Wells Capital, our corporate general partner, was formed in April 1984. 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 Public Partnerships"). Wells Capital or its affiliates previously served as the advisor to Signature Office Income REIT (formerly Wells Core Office Income REIT, Inc.), CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (formerly Wells Timberland REIT, Inc.), Columbia Property Trust, Inc. (formerly Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc.), and Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (formerly known as Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc) (collectively, the "Wells REITs"). In these capacities, Wells Capital performs certain services for Wells Public Partnerships, 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 previously performed these services for the Wells REITs. Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of WREF, of which Leo F. Wells, III is the sole stockholder.
Leo F. Wells, III
Mr. Wells, 71, who serves as one of our General Partners, is the president, treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, which is our corporate general partner. He is also the sole stockholder and sole director of WREF, which he founded in 1984 and served as WREF's President and Treasurer until February 2012. WREF directly or indirectly owns Wells Capital, one of our General Partners; Wells Management; WIS; Wells Development Corporation; Wells Asset Management, Inc.; and Wells & Associates, Inc.,

21


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

Mr. Wells was the president and Chairman of the Board of Signature Office REIT, Inc. from July 2007 to December 31, 2013. Mr Wells also served as a director of Columbia Property Trust, Inc. ("Columbia") from 2003 through May 2012 and as president of Columbia from July 2003 through July 2010. He served as the president of CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. ("CatchMark") from September 2005 through December 2013 and as a director of Catchmark from September 2005 to June 2007 and from March 2012 through December 2013. From 1998 to 2007, Mr. Wells served as president and Chairman of the Board of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc.
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 an inaugural sponsor of the Financial Services Institute.
Section 16(a), Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the officers and directors of our general partner, and persons who own 10% or more of any class of equity interests in the Partnership, to report their beneficial ownership of equity interests in the Partnership to the SEC. Their initial reports are required to be filed using the SEC's Form 3, and they are required to report subsequent purchases, sales, and other changes using the SEC's Form 4, which must be filed within two business days of most transactions. Officers, directors, and partners owning more than 10% of any class of equity interests in the Partnership are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all reports they file pursuant to Section 16(a). We believe all persons subject to these reporting requirements filed the report on a timely basis in 2014.
Financial Oversight Committee
We do not have a board of directors or an audit committee. Accordingly, as our corporate general partner, Wells Capital has established a Financial Oversight Committee consisting of Randy A. Simmons as the Principal Financial Officer; Tony Marrs as the Senior Vice President; and Kerianne Maloney as Senior Vice President. 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 neither we nor our corporate general partner have an audit committee and the Financial Oversight Committee is not independent of us or the General Partners, we do not have an "audit committee financial expert."
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to our corporate general partner's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as well as the principal accounting officer, controller, or other employees of our corporate general partner performing similar functions on our behalf, if any. The code of ethics is contained in the Business Standards/Code of Conduct/General Policies established by WREF. You may obtain a copy of this code of ethics, without charge, upon request by calling our Client Services Department at 800-557-4830, option 2.

ITEM 11.
COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES.
While we are managed by the General Partners and their affiliates, we do not pay any salaries or other compensation directly to the General Partners or to any of the General Partners' individual employees, officers, or directors. Further, we do not employ, and are not managed by, any of our own employees, officers, or directors. Accordingly, no compensation has been awarded to, earned by, or paid to any such individuals in connection with the operation or management of the Partnership. Due to our current management structure and our lack of any employees, officers, or directors, no discussion and analysis of compensation paid by the Partnership; tabular information concerning salaries, bonuses, and other types of compensation to executive officers or directors of the Partnership; or other information regarding compensation policies and practices of the Partnership has been included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
See Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," for a description of the fees we incurred that were payable to affiliates of the General Partners during the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.    
The compensation and fees we pay to our General Partners or their affiliates in connection with our operations are as follows:
Interest in Partnership Cash Flow and Net Sales Proceeds
The General Partners are entitled to receive a subordinated participation in net cash flow from operations equal to 10% of net cash flow after the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units have received preferential distributions equal to 10% of their

23


adjusted capital accounts in each fiscal year. The General Partners are also entitled to receive a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds equal to 20% of residual proceeds available for distribution after limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units have received a return of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 10% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions and limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units have received a return of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 15% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions, 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 did not receive any distributions of net cash from operations or net sale proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Management and Leasing Fees
We entered into a property management, leasing, and asset management agreement with Wells Management, an affiliate of the General Partners. In accordance with the property management, leasing, and asset management agreement, Wells Management receives compensation for the management and leasing of the properties we owned directly or through the Joint Venture, equal to the lesser of (a) fees that would be paid to a comparable outside firm, that is assessed periodically based on market studies, or (b) 4.5% of the gross revenues collected monthly; plus, a separate competitive fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties generally paid in conjunction with the receipt of the first month's rent. In the case of commercial properties leased on a long-term net-lease basis (10 or more years), the maximum property management fee from such leases were 1% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the leases, except for a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original lease term. Management and leasing fees are included in equity in income of joint venture in the accompanying statements of operations. We paid management and leasing fees for the properties we owned directly. Our share of management, leasing and asset management fees, and lease acquisition costs incurred from properties owned directly and through the Joint Venture that are payable to Wells Management is $7,287, $12,557, and $58,526 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, portions of which are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
Administrative Reimbursements
Wells Capital and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for us, 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 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. We incurred administrative expenses of $92,146, $59,936, and $88,877 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, portions of which are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
Real Estate Commissions
In connection with the sale of our properties, the General Partners or their affiliates were able to 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. No real estate commissions were paid to the General Partners or affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.
Procedures Regarding Related-Party Transactions

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 Exchange Act.
Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accountants
Frazier & Deeter, LLC serves as our independent registered public accountants and has provided audit services since September 22, 2006.  All such fees are recognized in the period to which the services relate. A portion of such fees is allocated to the joint venture in which we invest. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional accounting services by Frazier & Deeter, LLC, including the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, are set forth in the table below.

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.
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.
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.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 100% of the services performed by Frazier & Deeter, LLC described above under the caption "Audit Fees" were approved in advance by a member of the Financial Oversight Committee. In addition, fees were incurred for tax services performed by an accounting firm separate from our independent registered public accountants in each year presented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The General Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule III, real estate and accumulated depreciation and amortization. These financial statements and financial statement Schedule III are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement Schedule III 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 audits 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 XIV, L.P. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement Schedule III, real estate and accumulated depreciation and amortization, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND XIV, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014, 2013, AND 2012
1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. ("Wells Capital"), a Georgia corporation, serving as its general partners (collectively, the "General Partners"). Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. ("WREF"). Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the president, sole director, and sole owner of WREF. The Partnership was formed on October 25, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing commercial properties for investment purposes. Upon subscription, limited partners elected to have their units treated as Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units. Thereafter, limited partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of their units treated as Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units one time during each quarterly accounting period. 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; (c) add or remove a general partner; (d) elect a new general partner; (e) dissolve the Partnership; (f) authorize a merger or a consolidation of the Partnership; and (g) approve a sale involving all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, subject to certain limitations. A majority vote on any of the described matters will bind the Partnership, without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of the class of the unit.
On May 14, 2003, the Partnership commenced a public offering of up to $45,000,000 of Cash Preferred or Tax Preferred limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act. The offering was terminated on April 30, 2005, at which time the Partnership had sold approximately 2,531,031 Cash Preferred Units and 943,093 Tax Preferred Units representing total limited partner capital contributions of $34,741,238.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Partnership's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F- 7


Real Estate Assets
Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
The Partnership continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that could have indicated that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets owned through the Partnership’s investment in the Joint Ventures were not recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment were present, which suggested that the carrying amounts of real estate assets were not recoverable, management assessed the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values would have been recovered through the estimated undiscounted future 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 the expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale did not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusted the real estate assets to their respective 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 recognized an impairment loss. Estimated fair values were determined based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value.
While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as little, if any, related market activity or information is available. Examples of Level 3 inputs include estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, timing of new leases, and sales prices; additionally, the Partnership could have assigned an estimated probability-weighting to more than one fair value estimate based on the Partnership’s assessment of the likelihood of the respective underlying assumptions occurring as of the evaluation date. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls was based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considered factors specific to the asset or liability.
Evaluating the Recoverability of Intangible Assets
The values of intangible lease assets were determined based on assumptions made at the time of acquisition and have defined useful lives, which corresponded with the lease terms. There may have been instances in which intangible lease assets became impaired and the Partnership was required to expense the remaining asset immediately or over a shorter period of time. Lease restructurings, including but not limited to lease terminations and lease extensions, may have impacted the value and useful life of in-place leases. In-place leases that were terminated, partially terminated, or modified would have been evaluated for impairment if the original in-place lease terms had been modified. In situations where the discounted cash flows of the modified in-place lease stream were less than the discounted cash flows of the original in-place lease stream, the Partnership reduced the carrying value of the intangible lease assets to reflect the modified lease terms and recognized an impairment loss. For in-place lease extensions that were executed more than one year prior to the original in-place lease expiration date, the useful life of the in-place lease would have been extended over the new lease term with the exception of those in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, which would have been renegotiated for the extended term. Renegotiated in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, would have been amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the new lease term.

Investment in Joint Venture
The Partnership has evaluated the Joint Venture and concluded that it is not a variable-interest entity. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Venture; however, it does exercise significant influence. Approval by the Partnership as well as the other joint venture partner is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Venture or its real property investments. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investment in the Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting, whereby the original investment is 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 agreement, all income (loss) and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations, if available, are generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.
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.
Other Assets
Other assets are primarily comprised of prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are recognized as the related services are provided. Balances without a future economic benefit are written off as they are identified.
Distribution of Net Cash from Operations
Net cash from operations, if available and unless reserved, is generally distributed quarterly to the partners as follows:
First, to all Cash Preferred limited partners on a per-unit basis until such limited partners have received distributions equal to a 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined;
Second, to the General Partners until the General Partners receive distributions equal to 10% of the total cumulative distributions paid by the Partnership for such year; and
Third, to the Cash Preferred limited partners on a per-unit basis and the General Partners allocated on a basis of 90% and 10%, respectively.
No distributions of net cash flow from operations will be made to limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units.
Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds
Upon the sale of properties, unless reserved, net sale proceeds will be 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 Cash Preferred 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 Tax Preferred Units with respect to such property;
To limited partners holding units which at any time have been treated as Tax Preferred Units until each such limited partner has received an amount necessary to equal the net cash from operations previously distributed to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units on a per-unit basis;
To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received 100% of their respective net capital contributions, as defined;

F- 9


To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received a cumulative 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined;
To limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their respective preferential limited partner returns (defined as the sum of a 10% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Cash Preferred Units and a 15% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Tax Preferred Units);
To the General Partners until they have received 100% of their respective capital contributions, as defined;
Then, if limited partners have received any excess limited partner distributions (defined as distributions to limited partners over the life of their investment in the Partnership in excess of their net capital contributions, as defined, plus their preferential limited partner return), to the General Partners until they have received distributions equal to 20% of the sum of any such excess limited partner distributions, plus distributions made to the General Partners pursuant to this provision; and
Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners on a per-unit basis and 20% 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, and the gain on sale of assets. Net income, as defined, of the Partnership will be allocated each year in the same proportion that net cash from operations is distributed to the partners holding Cash Preferred Units and the General Partners. To the extent the Partnership's net income in any year exceeds net cash from operations, such excess net income will be allocated 99% to the limited partners holding Cash Preferred Units 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 Tax Preferred 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 the qualified income offset provisions of 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 limited partners holding Tax Preferred Units in amounts equal to the deductions for depreciation and amortization previously allocated to them with respect to the specific 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"). ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for transactions that qualify to be reported as discontinued operations, and enhances disclosures for transactions that meet the new criteria in this area. ASU 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations including more information about the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also requires an entity to disclose the pre-tax profit or loss of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the period beginning on January 1, 2015. The Partnership expects that the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Partnership for the period beginning on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements or disclosures. The Partnership has

F- 10


not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our ongoing financial reporting.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
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 accordance with the property management, leasing, and asset management agreement, Wells Management received compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnership's properties owned directly or through the Joint Venture, equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the gross revenues collected monthly; plus, a separate competitive fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties generally paid in conjunction with the receipt of the first month's rent, or (b) fees that would be paid to a comparable outside firm, which is assessed periodically based on market studies. In the case of commercial properties leased on a long-term net-lease basis (ten or more years), the maximum property management fee from such leases shall be 1% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the leases, except for a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original lease term. Management and leasing fees paid by the Joint Venture are included in equity in income of joint venture in the accompanying statements of operations. Management and leasing fees were paid by the Partnership for the properties owned directly. The Partnership's share of management, leasing and asset management fees and lease acquisition costs incurred by the properties owned directly and through the Joint Venture and payable to Wells Management is $7,287, $12,557, and $58,526 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, portions of which are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
Administrative Reimbursements
Wells Capital, one of the Partnership's 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 dedicated to each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of the General Partners, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. The Partnership incurred administrative expenses of $92,146, $59,936, and $88,877 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, portions of which are included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations. In addition, Wells Capital and Wells Management pay for certain operating expenses of the Partnership directly and invoice the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliates as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was comprised of administrative reimbursements due to Wells Capital and/or Wells Management.
Conflicts of Interest

Wells Capital, one of our general partners, is also a general partner or advisor of other public real estate investment programs sponsored by WREF. As such, in connection with serving as a general partner or advisor for other WREF-sponsored programs, Wells Capital may encounter conflicts of interest with regard to allocating human resources and making decisions related to investments, operations, and disposition-related activities.

Operational Dependency
The Partnership has engaged Wells Capital and Wells Management to provide certain essential services, including supervision of the management and leasing of its properties, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities, including accounting services and investor communications and relations. These agreements are terminable by

F- 12


either party upon 60 days' written notice. As a result of these relationships, the Partnership's operations are dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.
Wells Capital and Wells Management are owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Investment Securities, Inc., Wells Management, and their affiliates represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we might be required to find alternative service providers. As of December 31, 2014, the Partnership has no reason to believe that WREF does not have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash on hand, other investments and borrowing capacity, necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

5.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In accordance with GAAP, the Partnership has classified the results of operations related to the 3675 Kennesaw Building, which was sold on February 24, 2012, and the 150 Apollo Drive property, which was sold on July 21, 2011, as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

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 limited partners 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 Cash Preferred Units and Tax Preferred 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 ability of limited partners to elect that their units be treated as Cash Preferred Units or Tax Preferred Units, or to change their prior elections, on a quarterly basis.
For the reasons mentioned above, distributions of net sale proceeds per unit also vary among individual limited partners. Distributions of net sale proceeds have been calculated at the investor level pursuant to the partnership agreement and allocated between the Cash Preferred and Tax Preferred 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 limited partners.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM






The General Partners of
Fund XIII and Fund XIV Associates:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fund XIII and Fund XIV Associates (the "Joint Venture") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we also have audited financial statement Schedule III, real estate and accumulated depreciation and amortization. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement 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 audits 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 XIII and Fund XIV Associates as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement Schedule III, real estate and accumulated depreciation and amortization, 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, 2014 AND 2013

1.
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
On August 20, 2003, Wells Real Estate Fund XIII, L.P. ("Fund XIII") and Wells Real Estate Fund XIV, L.P. ("Fund XIV") entered into a Georgia general partnership to form Fund XIII and Fund XIV Associates (the "Joint Venture"). The general partners of Fund XIII and Fund XIV are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. ("Wells Capital").
The Joint Venture was formed to acquire and operate commercial rental properties. On October 30, 2003, the Joint Venture purchased two single-story office buildings containing approximately 82,000-square-feet, the Siemens - Orlando Building, located in Orlando, Florida. On December 19, 2003, the Joint Venture acquired the Randstad - Atlanta Building, a four-story office building containing approximately 65,000 aggregate rentable square feet located in Atlanta, Georgia. On March 26, 2004, the Joint Venture purchased an approximately 120,000-square-foot, one story office and warehouse building, 7500 Setzler Parkway, located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Ownership interests were recomputed based on relative cumulative capital contributions from the joint venture partners.
On January 31, 2007, the Joint Venture sold 7500 Setzler Parkway to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $8,950,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture recognized a gain of approximately $2,166,000 and received net sale proceeds of approximately $8,723,000.
On April 24, 2007, the Joint Venture sold the Randstad - Atlanta Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $9,250,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture recognized a gain of approximately $2,938,000 and received net sale proceeds of approximately $8,993,000.
On December 31, 2014, the Joint Venture sold the Siemens - Orlando Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $13,570,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture recognized a gain of approximately $4,551,000 and received net sale proceeds of approximately $12,954,000.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Joint Venture's financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Joint Venture's financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets
Investment in Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets were stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consisted of the cost of acquisition or construction, application of acquisition fees incurred, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extended the useful life of the related asset. The Joint Venture considered the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments had a direct impact on net income. Upon receiving notification of a tenant's intention to terminate a lease, undepreciated tenant improvements and intangible lease assets were written off to lease termination expense. All repairs and maintenance were expensed as incurred.

The Joint Venture's real estate assets were depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings
40 years
Building improvements
5-25 years
Land improvements
20 years
Tenant improvements
Shorter of lease term or economic life
Intangible lease assets

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
Management continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that could have indicated that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets and related intangible assets owned by the Joint Venture would not have been recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment were present, which suggested that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets and related intangible assets were not recoverable, management assessed the recoverability of the real estate assets and related intangible assets by determining whether their respective carrying values would have been recovered through the estimated undiscounted future 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 value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale, did not exceed the respective assets' carrying values, management adjusted the real estate assets to the respective estimated fair values, pursuant of the provisions of the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognized an impairment loss. Estimated fair values were determined based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value.
While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Joint Venture has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity or information. Examples of Level 3 inputs include estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, timing of new leases, and sales prices; additionally, the Joint Venture could have assigned an estimated probability-weighting to more than one fair value estimate based on the Joint Venture's assessment of the likelihood of the respective underlying assumptions occurring as of the evaluation date. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Joint Venture's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety required judgment, and considered factors specific to the asset or liability.
Evaluating the Recoverability of Intangible Assets and Liabilities
The values of intangible lease assets were determined based on assumptions made at the time of acquisition and have defined useful lives, which corresponded with the lease terms. There may have been instances in which intangible lease assets became impaired and the Partnership was required to expense the remaining asset immediately or over a shorter period of time. Lease restructurings, including but not limited to lease terminations and lease extensions, may have impacted the value and useful life of in-place leases. In-place leases that were terminated, partially terminated, or modified would have been evaluated for impairment if the original in-place lease terms had been modified. In situations where the discounted cash flows of the modified in-place lease stream were less than the discounted cash flows of the original in-place lease stream, the Partnership reduced the carrying value of the intangible lease assets to reflect the modified lease terms and recognized an impairment loss. For in-place lease extensions that were executed more than one year prior to the original in-place lease expiration date, the useful life of the in-place lease would have been extended over the new lease term with the exception of those in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, which would have been renegotiated for the extended term. Renegotiated in-place lease components, such as lease commissions and tenant allowances, would have been amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the new lease term.

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.

Tenant Receivables
Tenant receivables were comprised of rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental income using the straight-line method. Upon receiving notification of a tenant's intention to terminate a lease, unamortized straight-line rent receivables were written off to lease termination expense. Tenant receivables were recorded at the original amount earned, less an allowance for any doubtful accounts, which approximated fair value. Management assessed the collectibility of tenant receivables on an ongoing basis and provided for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, became uncollectible. No such allowances were recorded as of December 31, 2013.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Deferred lease costs may have included (i) costs incurred to procure leases, which were capitalized and recognized as amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease, and (ii) common area maintenance costs that were recoverable from tenants under the terms of the existing leases; such costs were capitalized and recognized as operating expenses over the shorter of the lease term or the recovery period provided for in the lease. Upon receiving notification of a tenant's intention to terminate a lease, unamortized deferred leasing costs were written-off to lease termination expense.
Other Assets
Other assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are comprised of the following items:

Prepaid expenses are recognized as the related services are provided. Utility deposits represent cash deposits paid to utility companies. Balances without a future economic benefit are written off as they are identified.
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. Fund XIII and Fund XIV held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 47% and 53%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.
Revenue Recognition
The Joint Venture's leases typically included 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 were classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the

F- 26


Consumer Price Index) was recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Tenant reimbursements were recognized as revenue in the period that the related operating cost was incurred and were billed to tenants pursuant to the terms of the underlying leases. Rents and tenant reimbursements collected in advance were recorded as deferred income in the accompanying balance sheets. Lease termination income was recognized when the tenant lost the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture had satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.
The Joint Venture recorded the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for real estate sales. Accordingly, gains were 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 were recognized in full as of the sale date.
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 Fund XIII and Fund XIV are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08"). ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for transactions that qualify to be reported as discontinued operations, and enhances disclosures for transactions that meet the new criteria in this area. ASU 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures for discontinued operations including more information about the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also requires an entity to disclose the pre-tax profit or loss of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the period beginning on January 1, 2015. The Partnership expects that the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Partnership for the period beginning on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements or disclosures. The Partnership has not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the ASU 2014-09 on our ongoing financial reporting.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management and Leasing Fees
Fund XIII and Fund XIV entered into property management and leasing agreements with Wells Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of their general partners. In accordance with the property management and leasing agreements, Wells Management receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Joint Venture's property. The Joint Venture will pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of (a) fees that would be paid to a comparable outside firm, which is assessed periodically based on market studies; or (b) 4.5% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the lease, plus a separate competitive fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties generally paid in conjunction with the receipt of the first month's rent. In the case of commercial properties which are leased on a long-term net basis (10 or more years), the maximum property management fee from such leases shall be 1% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the leases except for a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original lease term. The Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fees that are payable to Wells Management of $12,834, $23,828, and $66,226 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Due to Affiliate
As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliate as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 represents amounts due to Wells Management for administrative reimbursements.

F- 27


Administrative Reimbursements
Wells Management performs certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incurs the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with Wells Capital based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Joint Venture incurred administrative expenses of $0, $9,975, and $39,331, respectively, payable to Wells Management for these services.
