ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------------------

General

Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia non-
public limited partnership, as General Partners. The Partnership was formed on
September 15, 1998, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing,
owning, operating, improving, leasing and otherwise managing for investment
purposes income-producing commercial or industrial properties.

On March 22, 1999, the Partnership commenced a public offering of up to
$70,000,000 of limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a
Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The
Partnership commenced active operations on June 1, 1999, when it received and
accepted subscriptions for 125,000 units. As of December 31, 1999 the
Partnership had sold 752,426 Cash Preferred Units, and 184,393 Tax Preferred
Units, held by a total of 758 and 34 Limited Partners respectively, for total
Limited Partner capital contributions of $9,368,186. After payment of $327,887
in acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, payment of $1,171,023 in selling
commissions and organization and offering expenses, the investment of $5,300,000
in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as of December 31, 1999, the Partnership
was holding net offering proceeds of $2,569,276 available for investment in
properties.

The Partnership owns its interest in properties through equity ownership in the
Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, a joint venture among the Partnership and Wells
Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. and Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. Wells Operating
Partnership, L.P. ("Wells OP"), a Delaware limited partnership formed to
acquire, own lease, operate and manage real properties on behalf of Wells Real
Estate Investment Trust.

As of December 31, 1999 the Partnership owned interest in the following
properties through its ownership of the foregoing joint venture: (i) a two-story
manufacturing and office building located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina (the
"EYBL Cartex Building"), which is owned by the XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture; (ii) a
three-story office building in located in Leawood, Johnson County, Kansas (the
"Sprint Building"), which is owned by Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture; (iii) a

XII-REIT Joint Venture; and (iv) a two-story office building located in Ft.
Myers, Lee County, Florida, (the "Gartner Building"), which is owned by Fund XI-

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc.,
the sole general partner of Wells Partners, L.P., perform a full range of real
estate services including leasing and property management, accounting, asset
management and investor relations for the Partnership.

Insurance

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, carries
comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the properties
owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership. In the opinion of management of
the registrant, the properties are adequately insured.

Competition

The Partnership will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers
of competing projects which may include the General Partners and their
affiliates. As a result, the Partnership may be required to provide free rent,
reduced charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all of which may
have an adverse impact on the results of operations. At the time the Partnership
elects to dispose of its properties, the Partnership will also be in competition
with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its
properties.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
- --------------------

The Partnership owns interests in four buildings through its ownership in one
joint venture. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of this
joint venture; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly,
investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method. As of December
31, 1999, the Partnership was holding approximately $2,569,276 to invest in
properties.

The following describes additional information about the properties in which the

Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture
- ------------------------------

On June 21, 1999, the Partnership was admitted to the Wells Fund XI - Fund XII -
REIT Associates Joint Venture (the "Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture").

The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture is a joint venture partnership among the
Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. ("Wells Fund XI"), an affiliated
Georgia limited partnership, and Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Wells OP"),
a Delaware limited partnership formed to acquire, own lease, operate, and manage
real properties on behalf of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the
"Wells REIT"), an affiliated Maryland corporation. This joint venture was
originally formed on May 1, 1999, as a joint venture between Wells Fund XI and
the Wells OP pursuant to a Joint Venture Partnership Agreement, which was
amended and restated on June 21, 1999, to admit the Partnership as a joint
venture partner. The Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture was formed for the purpose
of acquisition, ownership, development, leasing, operation, sale and management
of real properties. The investment objectives of Wells Fund XI and the Wells
REIT are substantially identical to those of the Partnership.

As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had contributed $5,300,000 for an
approximate 17.1% equity interest in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, Wells
Fund XI had made capital contributions of $8,131,135 for an approximate 26.2%
equity interest in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, and Wells OP had
contributed $17,585,310 for an approximate 56.7% equity interest in the Fund XI-
XII-REIT Joint Venture.

The Sprint Building
- -------------------

On July 2, 1999, the XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture acquired a three story office
building with approximately 68,900 rentable square feet, on a 7.12 acre tract of
land, located in Leawood, Johnson County, Kansas (the "Sprint Building") from
Bridge Information Systems America, Inc.

The purchase price for the Sprint Building was $9,500,000. The Joint Venture
also incurred additional acquisition expenses in connection with the purchase of
the Sprint Building, including attorneys' fees, recording fees and other closing
costs, of approximately $46,210. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had
contributed $1,000,000, Wells Fund XI had contributed $3,000,000 and Wells OP
had contributed $5,500,000 towards the purchase of this project.

The entire 68,900 rentable square feet of the Sprint Building is currently under
a net lease agreement with Sprint dated February 14, 1997. The landlord's
interest in the lease was assigned to the X-XI-REIT Joint Venture at the
closing.

The initial term of the lease is ten years which commenced on May 19, 1997 and
expires on May 18, 2007. Sprint has the right to extend the lease for two
additional five year periods.

The monthly base rent payable under the Lease is $83,254.17 ($14.50 per square
foot) through May 18, 2002 and $91,866.67 ($16.00 per square foot) for the
remainder of the lease term. The monthly base rent payable for each extended
term of the lease will be equal to 95% of the then "current market rate" which
is calculated as a full-service rental rate less anticipated annual operating
expenses on a rentable

4


square foot basis charged for space of comparable location, size and conditions
in comparable office buildings in the suburban south Kansas City, Missouri and
south Johnson County, Kansas areas.

Under the lease, Sprint is required to pay as additional rent all real estate
taxes, special assessments, utilities, taxes, insurance and other operating
costs with respect to the Sprint Building during the term of the lease. In
addition, Sprint is responsible for all routine maintenance and repairs
including the interior mechanical and electrical systems, the HVAC system, the
parking lot and the landscaping to the Sprint Building. The XI-XII-REIT Joint
Venture, as landlord, is responsible for repair and replacement of the exterior
roof, foundation and structure.

The lease contains a termination option which may be exercised by Sprint
effective as of May 18, 2004, provided that Sprint has not exercised either
expansion option, as described below. Sprint must provide notice to the XI-XII-
REIT Joint Venture of its intent to exercise its termination option on or before
August 21, 2003. If Sprint exercises its termination option, it will be required
to pay the XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture a termination payment equal to $6.53 per
square foot, or $450,199.

Sprint also has an expansion option for an additional 20,000 square feet of
office space which may be exercised in two expansion phases. Sprint's expansion
rights involve building on unfinished ground level space that is currently used
as covered parking within the existing building footprint and shell. At each
exercise of an expansion option, the remaining Lease term will be extended to be
a minimum of an additional five years from the date of the completion of such
expansion space.

The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Sprint Building was
$15.44 the first year of occupancy. The occupancy rate at year end was 100% for
1999.

Park Drive in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The entire 130,000 rentable square feet of the Johnson Matthey Building is
currently leased to Johnson Matthey. The Johnson Matthey lease was assigned to

venture is now the landlord under the lease. The current lease term expires in

the building to an unrelated third-party. The joint venture must give Johnson
Matthey written notice of its intent to sell the Johnson Matthey Building, and
Johnson Matthey will have ten days from the date of such notice to provide

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
- -------------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during the year of
1999.


PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of February 29, 2000, the Partnership had 752,426 outstanding Cash Preferred
Units held by a total of 807 Limited Partners and 184,393 outstanding Tax
Preferred Units held by a total of 39 Limited Partners. The capital
contributions per unit is $10.00. There is no established public trading for
the Partnerships limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a
public trading market for the units will develop. Under the Partnership
Agreement, the General Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of units.

Cash Preferred Status Limited Partners are entitled to a distribution from Net
Cash from Operations, as defined in the Partnership Agreement to mean cash flow,
less adequate cash reserves for other obligations of the Partnership for which
there is no provision, on a per Unit basis until they have received
distributions in each fiscal year of the Partnership equal to 10% of their
adjusted capital contributions. After this preference is satisfied, the General
Partners will receive an amount of Net Cash From Operations equal to 10% of the
total amount of Net Cash From Operations distributed. Thereafter, the Limited
Partners holding Cash Preferred Status Units will receive 90% of Net Cash From
Operations and the General Partners will receive 10%. No Net Cash from
Operations will be distributed to Limited Partners holding Tax Preferred Status
Units. Holders of Cash Preferred Status Units will, except in limited
circumstances, be allocated none of the Partnership's net loss, depreciation and
amortization deductions. These deductions will be allocated to the Tax
Preferred Status Units, until their capital account balances have been reduced
to zero. No distributions have been made to the General Partners as of December
31, 1999.

9


Cash available for distribution to the Limited Partners is distributed on a
quarterly basis unless Limited Partners select to have their cash distributed
monthly. Cash distributions made to Cash Preferred Status Limited Partners
during 1999 and were as follows:


Per Cash Preferred Status Unit
------------------------------


Distribution for Total Cash Investment Return of General
Quarter Ended Distributed Income Capital Partner
------------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------

March 31, 1999 $ 0 $ 0 $0.00 $0.00
June 30, 1999 $ 0 $ 0 $0.00 $0.00
September 30, 1999 $ 62,935 $0.26 $0.00 $0.00
December 31, 1999 $113,083 $0.29 $0.00 $0.00


The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 1999, and
was not actually paid to Limited Partners until February, 2000. Although there
is no assurance, the General Partners anticipate that cash distributions to
Limited Partners holding Cash Preferred Status Units will continue in 2000 at a
level at least comparable with 1999 cash distributions on an annual basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATION.
- ---------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Selected Financial Data and the accompanying financial statements of the

This Report contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions
- ---------------------------------------------------------

General
- -------

The Partnership commenced active operations on June 1, 1999, when it received
and accepted subscriptions for 125,000 units. As of December 31, 1999, the
Partnership had sold 752,426 Cash Preferred Status Units and 184,393 Tax
Preferred Status Units, held by a total of 758 and 34 Limited Partners,
respectively, for total Limited Partner contributions of $9,368,186. After
payment of $327,887 in acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, payment of
$1,171,023 in selling commissions and organization and offering expenses, and
the investment of $5,300,000 in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as of
December 31, 1999, the Partnership was holding net offering proceeds of
$2,569,276 available for investment in properties.

Gross revenues of the Partnership of $160,379 for the year ended December 31,
1999, were attributable primarily to interest income earned on funds held by the
Partnership prior to the investment in joint ventures, and equity in earnings of
joint ventures

Expenses for the Partnership were $37,562 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
and consisted primarily of legal, accounting and partnership administrative
costs. Net income of the Partnership was $122,817 for the year ended December
31, 1999. The Partnership's cash distribution to the Cash Preferred Status
Limited Partners was $0.55 for the year ended December 31, 1999. No cash
distributions have been paid to Tax Preferred Status Limited Partners or to the
General Partners.

11


Since the Partnership did not commence active operations until it received and
accepted subscriptions for a minimum of 125,000 Units on June 1, 1999, there is
no comparative financial data available from the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership commenced active operations on June 1, 1999, when it received
and accepted subscriptions for 125,000 Units.

After payment of $327,887 in acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, payment
of $1,171,023 in selling commissions and organizational and offering expenses,
and the investment of $5,300,000 in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture, as of
December 31, 1999, the Partnership was holding net offering proceeds of
$2,569,276 available for investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership had net cash provided by operating activities of $3,782 due
primarily to interest income earned on funds held by the Partnership prior to
investment in properties. Net cash used in investing activities of $5,553,776
is primarily the result of the payment of acquisition and advisory fees and
investment in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture. The net cash provided by
financing activities of $8,134,128 is the result of raising $9,368,186 in
Limited Partners contributions less commissions and organizational and offering
expenses and, therefore, increasing cash and cash equivalents from $600 of
General Partners' contribution at the beginning of the year to $2,584,734 as of
December 31, 1999.

The Partnership's distributions to holders of Cash Preferred Status Units for
the 4/th/ quarter ended December 31, 1999 have been paid from net cash from
operations February, 2000. Although there is no assurance, the Partnership
anticipates that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis
from such sources on a level at least consistent with 1999. No cash
distributions were paid to holders of Tax Preferred Status Units in 1999.

The Partnership expects to continue to meet its short-term liquidity
requirements generally through net cash provided by operations which the
Partnership believes will continue to be adequate to meet both operating
requirements and distributions to limited partners. At this time, given the
nature of the joint venture and properties in which the Partnership has
invested, there are no known improvements or renovations to the properties
expected to be funded from cash flow from operations.

The Partnership expects to make future real estate investments, directly or
through investments in joint ventures, from Limited Partners Capital
contributions. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership was holding net
offering proceeds of $2,569,276 for this purpose.

Since properties are acquired on an all-cash basis, the Partnership has no
permanent long-term liquidity requirements.

16


Inflation
- ----------

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the
past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. There are provisions
in the majority of tenant leases to protect the Partnership from the impact of
inflation. Most leases contain common area maintenance charges (CAM charges),
real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot bases, or in
some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per
square foot allowance. These provisions should reduce the Partnership's
exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Year 2000
- ----------

The Partnership made the transition into the year 2000 without any information
systems, business operations or facilities related system problems. Management
believes that there are no other Y2K related issues that may require disclosure

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND XII,
L.P. (a Georgia public limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
the related statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the
related statements of partners' capital and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements and the
schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as 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 XII,
L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the results of its operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999, and the results of its cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule III--Real Estate Investments and
Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1999 is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND XII, L.P.

(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998



1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a public limited
partnership organized on September 15, 1998 under the laws of the state of
Georgia. The general partners are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P.
The Partnership has two classes of limited partnership units. Upon
subscription for units, each limited partner must elect whether to have their
units treated as cash preferred units or tax preferred units. Thereafter,
limited partners shall 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) remove a general partner, (d) elect a new general
partner, (e) dissolve the Partnership, and (f) approve a sale of assets,
subject to certain limitations. The 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 which class of unit is selected. The Partnership commenced operations as
of June 1, 1999.

The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate commercial real estate
properties, including properties which are either to be developed, currently
under construction, newly constructed, or have operating histories. The
Partnership owns an interest in several properties through a joint venture
between Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. ("Wells Fund XI"), the Partnership,
and Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a
Delaware limited partnership having Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.
("Wells REIT"), a Maryland corporation, as its general partner, which is
referred to as Wells Funds XI, XII, and REIT Joint Venture.

Through its investment in Wells Fund XI, XII, and REIT Joint Venture, the
Partnership owns interests in the following properties: (i) a two-story
manufacturing and office building in Greenville County, South Carolina (the
"EYBL CareTex Building"), (ii) a three-story office building in Leawood,
Kansas (the "Sprint Building"), (iii) an office and warehouse building in
Chester County, Pennsylvania (the "Johnson Matthay Building"), and (iv) a
two-story office building in Fort Myers, Florida (the "Gartner Building").

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-7


The carrying values of the real estate assets are based on management's
current intent to hold the real estate assets as long-term investments. The
success of the Partnership's future operations and the ability to realize the
investment in its assets will be dependent on the Partnership's ability to
maintain an appropriate level of rental rates, occupancy, and operating
expenses in future years. Management believes that the steps it is taking
will enable the Partnership to realize its investment in its assets.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, and
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.

Distributions of Net Cash From Operations

Cash available for distribution, as defined by the partnership agreement,
will be distributed to the limited partners on a quarterly basis. In
accordance with the partnership agreement, distributions are paid first to
limited partners holding cash preferred units until they have received a 10%
per annum return on their net capital contributions, as defined. Then, such
distributions are paid to the general partners until they have received 10%
of the total amount distributed thus far. Any remaining cash available for
distribution is split 90% to the limited partners holding cash preferred
units and 10% to the general partners. No such distributions will be made to
the limited partners holding tax preferred units.

Distribution of Sale Proceeds

Upon the sale of properties, the net sale proceeds will be distributed in the
following order:

. To limited partners holding units which at any time have been
treated as tax preferred units until they receive an amount
necessary to equal the net cash available for distribution
received by the limited partners holding cash preferred units;

. To limited partners on a per unit basis until each limited partner
has received 100% of their net capital contributions, as defined;

. To all limited partners on a per unit basis until they receive a
cumulative 10% per annum return on their net capital
contributions, as defined;

. To limited partners on a per unit basis until they receive an
amount equal to their preferential limited partner return (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
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;

F-8


. Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners on a per unit basis and
20% to the general partners.

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

Net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding
deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery. 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. To
the extent the Partnership's net income in any year exceeds net cash from
operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners holding cash
preferred units and 1% to the general partners.

Net loss, depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery 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,
amortization, and cost recovery previously allocated to them with respect to
the specific partnership 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.

Investment in Joint Venture

Basis of Presentation. The Partnership does not have control over the
operations of the joint venture; however, it does exercise significant
influence. Accordingly, the Partnership's investment in joint venture is
recorded using the equity method of accounting.

Real Estate Assets. Real estate assets held by the joint venture are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are
capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related asset. All
ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances which
could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be
recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances are present that
indicate the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable,
management assesses the recoverability of real estate assets by determining
whether the carrying value of such real estate assets will be recovered
through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition. Management has determined that there has been no
impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held by the joint
venture as of December 31, 1999.

Depreciation for buildings and improvements is calculated using the straight-
line method over 25 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the life of
the related lease or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

F-9


Revenue Recognition. All leases on real estate assets held by the joint
venture are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.

Partner's Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss. Cash available
for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the Partnership by the
joint venture are made in accordance with the terms of the joint venture
agreement. Generally, these items are allocated in proportion to the
partners' respective ownership interests. Cash is paid from the joint venture
to the Partnership quarterly.

Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs. Costs incurred to procure operating leases
are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related leases.


2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS

The Partnership paid a percentage of limited partner contributions to Wells
Capital, Inc. (the "Company"), the general partner of Wells Partners, for
acquisition and advisory services. These payments, as stipulated by the
partnership agreement, can be up to 5% of the limited partner contributions,
subject to certain overall limitations contained in the partnership
agreement. Aggregate fees paid through December 31, 1999 were $327,886 and
amounted to 3.5% of the limited partners' contributions received. These fees
are allocated to specific properties as they are purchased or developed and
are included in capitalized assets of the joint venture. Deferred project
costs at December 31, 1999 represent fees not yet applied to properties. As
of December 31, 1999 $12,625 of fees had not yet been paid and were included
in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet.


3. DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Organization and offering expenses, to the extent they exceed 3% of gross
offering proceeds, will be paid by the Company and not by the Partnership.
Organization and offering expenses do not include sales or underwriting
commissions but do include such costs as legal and accounting fees, printing
costs, and other offering expenses.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company paid organization and offering expenses
on behalf of the Partnership in the aggregate amount of $612,999, of which
the Company was reimbursed $281,046, which did not exceed the 5% limitation.
The unpaid portion of deferred offering costs is $331,953 and is included in
due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet.


4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliate at December 31, 1999 represents the portion of 1999
fourth-quarter distributions to be paid to the Partnership by Fund XI, XII,
and REIT Joint Venture.

The Partnership entered into a property management agreement with Wells
Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the general
partners. In consideration for supervising the management and leasing of the
Partnership's properties, the Partnership will pay Wells Management
management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of (a) fees that would be
paid to a comparable outside firm, 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

F-10


leased on a long-term net 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.

The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
costs, at the joint venture level, of $8,268 and $0 for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which were paid to Wells
Management.

The Company performs certain administrative services for the Partnership,
such as accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs the
related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among the various Wells Real
Estate Funds based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative
personnel. In the opinion of management, such allocation is reasonable
estimation of such expenses.

The general partners are also general partners in other Wells Real Estate
Funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the general
partners in the capacity as general partners for other Wells Real Estate
Funds may be in competition with the Partnership for tenants in similar
geographic markets.

8. QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

Presented below is a summary of the unaudited quarterly financial
information for the year ended December 31, 1999:



1999 Quarters Ended
-----------------------------------------------------------
March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31
------------- ---------- ------------- ------------

Revenues $ 0 $ 0 $ 61,667 $ 98,712
Net (loss) income 0 (2,615) 45,786 79,646
Net loss allocated to general partners 0 (26) (231) (243)
Net income allocated to cash preferred
limited partners 0 0 68,910 126,334
Net loss allocated to tax preferred limited
partners 0 (2,589) (22,893) (46,445)
Net income per weighted average cash

Cash distribution per weighted average cash
preferred limited partner unit outstanding 0.00 0.00 0.26 0.29


(a) The totals of the four quarterly amounts for the year ended
December 31, 1999 do not equal the totals for the year. This
difference results from the use of a weighted average to

Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is not aware of any
significant litigation or claims against the Partnership or the Company. In
