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

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.

- -------------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during the year of
2000.

PART II
-------

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

As of February 28, 2001, the Partnership had 2,261,987 outstanding Cash
Preferred Units held by a total of 1119 Limited partners and 694,334 Tax
Preferred Units held by a total of 94 Limited partners. The capital contribution
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.

Pursuant to Section 15.2 of the Partnership Agreement, for the first three
fiscal years following the termination of the offering of units in the
Partnership, the per unit value shall be deemed to be $10.00 per unit. After the
expiration of this three year period, the General Partners shall determine a per
unit value by estimating the amount a holder of Partnership units would receive
if the Partnership's properties were sold as of the close of the Partnership's
fiscal year and the proceeds from such sales (without reduction for selling
expenses), together with any other funds of the Partnership, were distributed in
a liquidation of the Partnership.

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, 2000.

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 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

12

December 31, 2000 $375,995 $0.20 $0.00 $0.00


The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for accounting purposes in 2000, and
was not actually paid to Limited Partners until February, 2001. Although there
is no assurance, the General Partners anticipate that cash distributions to
Limited Partners holding Cash Preferred Status Units will continue in 2001 at a
level at least comparable with 2000 cash distributions on an annual basis.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND 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
Partnership and notes thereto.

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
1934, including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the
Partnership, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete certain
projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated to be distributed to Limited
Partners in the future and certain other matters. Readers of this Report should
be aware that there are various factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statement made in the Report, which
include construction costs which may exceed estimates, construction delays,
lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing
leases, and the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital
expenditures out of operating cash flow.

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, 2000, the
Partnership had sold 1,881,142 Cash Preferred Status Units and 617,434 Tax
Preferred Status Units, held by a total of 1068 and 90 Limited Partners,
respectively, for total Limited Partner contributions of $24,985,760. After
payment of $874,502 in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses,
payment of $3,123,220 in selling commissions and organization and offering
expenses, the investment of $5,300,000 in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint Venture,
and the investment of $15,687,245 in the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture, as of
December 31, 2000, the Partnership was holding net offering proceeds of $793
available for investment in properties.

Gross revenues of the Partnership of $929,868 for year ended December 31, 2000
and $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. The
increase was due primarily to increased investments in joint ventures.

Expenses for the Partnership were $73,640 for the year ended December 31, 2000
and $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 $856,228 and $122,817 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The Partnership's cash distribution to the Cash Preferred
Status Limited Partners was $0.77 and $0.55 for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999. No cash distributions have been paid to Tax Preferred Status
Limited Partners or to the General Partners.

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 $874,502 in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition
expenses, payment of $3,123,220 in selling commissions and organizational and
offering expenses, the investment of $5,300,000 in the Fund XI-XII-REIT Joint
Venture, and the investment of $15,687,245 in the Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture,
as of December 31, 2000, the Partnership was holding net offering proceeds of
$793 available for investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased to
$234,619 in 2000, as compared to $3,782 for 1999. This increase was due
primarily to equity earnings of joint ventures and interest income earned on
funds held by the Partnership prior to investment in properties. Net cash used
in investing activities increased to $15,496,594 in 2000, up from $5,553,776 in
1999. This was primarily the result of increased investment in joint ventures.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $12,885,560 in 2000 and $8,134,128
in 1999 is the result of raising $15,617,575 and $9,368,186 respectively in
Limited Partners contributions less commissions and organizational and offering
expenses.

The Partnership's distributions to holders of Cash Preferred Status Units for
the 4/th/ quarter ended December 31, 2000 were paid in February, 2001 from net
cash from operations February, 2001. 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 2000. No
cash distributions were paid to holders of Tax Preferred Status Units in 2000.

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 ventures 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 until the termination of its offering on March 21, 2001. As of
December 31, 2000, the Partnership was holding net offering proceeds of $793 for
this purpose.

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

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

21


per square foot allowance. These provisions should reduce the Partnership's
exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

share of these fees was $42,873 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Real Estate Commissions. In connection with the sale of Partnership
-----------------------
properties, the General Partners or their affiliates may 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 year ended December 31, 2000.

Deferred Project Costs
----------------------

The Partnership pays Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses
to Wells Capital, Inc., the General Partner of Wells Partners, L.P., for
acquisition and advisory services as a reimbursement for acquisition
expenses. These payments, as provided by the Partnership Agreement, may not
exceed 3.5% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions. Acquisition and
Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses paid as of December 31, 2000,
amounted to $874,501 and represented approximately 3.5% of the Limited
Partners' capital contributions. These fees are allocated to specific
properties as they are purchased.

Deferred Offering Costs
-----------------------

Wells Capital, Inc. (the "Company"), the General Partner of Wells Partners,
L.P., pays all the offering expenses for the Partnership. The Company may
be reimbursed by the Partnership to the extent that such offering expenses
do not exceed 3% of total Limited Partners' capital contributions. As of
December 31, 2000, the Partnership had reimbursed the Company an aggregate
of $749,573 in offering expenses, which amounted to approximately 3% of
Limited Partners' capital contributions.

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, 2000 and 1999,
the related statements of income for the years then ended, and the related
statements of partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements 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 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, 2000 and 1999, the results of its operations for the
years then ended, and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND XII, L.P.

(A Georgia Public Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000, 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 the Fund XI, XII, and REIT Joint
Venture. In addition, the Partnership owns an interest in two properties
through a joint venture with the Operating Partnership, which is referred
to as the Fund 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 CarTex 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 Matthey Building"), and (iv) a
two-story office building in Fort Myers, Florida (the "Gartner Building").

The following properties are owned by the Partnership through its
investment in the Fund XII and REIT Joint Venture: (i) a three-story office
building in Troy, Michigan (the "Siemens Building") and (ii) a one-story
office building and a two-story office building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(collectively referred to as the "AT&T Call Center Buildings").

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

F-7


reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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;

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

F-8


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 Ventures

Basis of Presentation

The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the joint
ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence.
Accordingly, the Partnership's investment in joint ventures 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 ventures as of December 31, 2000.

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.

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.

F-9


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 ventures are made in accordance with the
terms of the joint venture agreements. Generally, these items are
allocated in proportion to the partners' respective ownership
interests. Cash is paid from the joint ventures 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, 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.

Per Unit Data

Net income per unit with respect to the partnership for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999 is computed based on the weighted average number
of units outstanding during the period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year financial statement presentation.

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, 2000 were
$874,501 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, 2000 represent fees not yet
applied to properties.

3. DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS

Offering expenses, to the extent they exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds,
will be paid by the Company and not by the Partnership. 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, 2000, the Company paid offering expenses on behalf of
the Partnership in the aggregate amount of $929,982, of which the Company
was reimbursed $749,573, which did not exceed the 5% limitation. The unpaid
portion of deferred offering costs is $180,409 and is included in due to
affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet.

F-10


4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliates at December 31, 2000 represents the Partnership's share
of the cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments for the
fourth quarter of 2000 and 1999 as follows:

2000 1999
-------- --------

Fund XI, XII, and REIT Joint Venture $125,193 $116,258
Fund XII and REIT Joint Venture 159,167 0
-------- --------
$284,360 $116,258
======== ========

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 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 $42,873, $8,268, and $0 for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 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 a 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.

THE SIEMENS BUILDING

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

The Siemens Building ("Siemens") is a three-story office building located
in Troy, Michigan. The building is owned by Fund XII and REIT Associates, a
joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. ("Fund XII") and
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. ("REIT"). Fund XII and REIT each
own 50% of Siemens at December 31, 2000. Allocation of net income and
distributions are made in accordance with ownership percentages.

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.

Income Taxes

Siemens is not deemed to be a taxable entity for federal income tax
purposes.

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Major
improvements and betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful
life of the related asset. All 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 which
indicate that 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 Siemens as of December 31,
2000.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over 25 years.

Revenue Recognition

The lease on Siemens is classified as an operating lease, and the related
rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, Siemens 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.

operating leases at December 31, 2000 is as follows:
