PART I


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

GENERAL
- -------

Wells Real Estate Fund II (the "Partnership") is a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc., as General
Partners. The Partnership was formed on June 23, 1986, for the purpose of
acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing and
otherwise managing for investment purposes income-producing commercial or
industrial properties.

On September 8, 1986, the Partnership commenced a public offering of its limited
partnership units pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under
the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership terminated its offering on September
7, 1988, and received gross proceeds of $34,948,250 representing subscriptions
from 4,440 Limited Partners, composed of two classes of limited partnership
interests, Class A and Class B limited partnership units.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties: (i) a retail shopping and commercial office complex located in
Tucker, Georgia, (ii) a shopping center located in Cherokee County, Georgia,
(iii) a two-story office building located in Charlotte, North Carolina, (iv) a
four-story office building located in metropolitan Houston, Texas, (v) a
restaurant located in Fulton County, Georgia, and (vi) an office/retail shopping
center currently being developed in Fulton County, Georgia. All of the foregoing
properties were acquired on an all cash basis and are described in more detail
in Item 2 below. The lease on the Atrium Building in Houston, which contributes
a significant proportion of the revenue to the Partnership, expired in June,
1996, and although the Partnership has responded to various potential tenants
regarding leasing the Atrium, no leases have been signed as of December 31,
1996. See the detailed discussion in Item 2, Properties.

EMPLOYEES
- ---------

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital, Inc., a
General Partner of the Partnership, perform a full range of real estate services
including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and
investor relations for the Partnership. See Item 11 - "Compensation of General
Partner and Affiliates" - for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners
and their affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

INSURANCE
- ---------

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partner, 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.

2


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 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 all of its properties through a joint venture (the "Fund
II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture") formed on March 1, 1988, between the Partnership
and Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW ("Wells Fund II-OW"). Wells Fund II-OW is a
Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership through
common general partners. The investment objectives of Wells Fund II-OW are
substantially identical to those of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996,
the Partnership's equity interest in the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture was
approximately 95%, and the equity interest of Wells Fund II-OW was approximately
5%. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the joint
venture; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly,
investment in joint venture is recorded on the equity method.

Of the six properties owned by the joint venture, three are retail shopping
centers, two are office buildings and one is a restaurant. As of December 31,
1996, these properties were 63.69% occupied, down from 95.87% at December 31,
1995, 97.34% at December 31, 1994, 66.90% at December 31, 1993, and 93.76% at
December 31, 1992.

The following describes the properties in which the Partnership owns an interest
as of December 31, 1996:

THE CHARLOTTE PROPERTY/FUND II-FUND II-OW JOINT VENTURE
- -------------------------------------------------------

On May 9, 1988, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture acquired a two-story
building containing approximately 70,752 net leasable square feet, located on a
9.54 acre tract of land located in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
(the "Charlotte Property") for a purchase price of $8,550,000.

While the entire project was originally leased under a net lease to IBM, IBM
elected not to exercise its second three year option to extend its lease and
vacated the building effective September 30, 1993, after paying a $425,000 lease
termination fee.

On May 1, 1994, First Union Bank assumed occupancy of the Charlotte property
under a lease which expires April 30, 2001. The principal terms of the lease
provide for First Union's sole tenancy of the project as a regional operations
center for the initial term of seven years. Because First Union Bank invested
approximately $1 million on tenant improvements at the Charlotte property, a
lower rental rate was accepted for the first five years. There are presently no
plans for improvement or further development of the project.

4


The annual base rent during the initial term is $412,705 payable in equal
monthly installments of $34,392.08 during the first two years, annual base rent
of $454,651 payable in equal monthly installments of $37,887.58 during the third
year, annual base rent of $489,650 payable in equal monthly installments of
$40,804.17 during the fourth year and annual base rent of $524,625 payable in
equal monthly installments of $43,718.75 during the fifth year. Rental rates
during the remaining two years of the lease term will be determined by market
rates.

The occupancy rates at the Charlotte Property as of December 31 were 100% in
1996, 1995, 1994, 0% in 1993, and 100% in 1992.

The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Charlotte Property
was $6.51 for 1996, $5.83 for 1995, $3.88 for 1994, $28.12 for 1993 and $15.69
for 1992. The higher effective annual rental rate for 1993 is due to the payment
of $425,000 in lease termination fees by IBM.


THE ATRIUM/FUND II - FUND III JOINT VENTURE
- -------------------------------------------

On April 3, 1989, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture formed a joint venture
(the "Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture") with Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.
("Wells Fund III"), a public Georgia limited partnership affiliated with the
Partnership through common general partners. The investment objectives of Wells
Fund III are substantially identical to those of the Partnership.

In April 1989, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture acquired a four-story office
building located on a 5.6 acre tract of land adjacent to the Johnson Space
Center in metropolitan Houston, in the City of Nassau Bay, Harris County, Texas,
know as "The Atrium at Nassau Bay" (the "Atrium").

The funds used by the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture to acquire the Atrium were
derived from capital contributions made to the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture by
the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Fund III in the amounts of
$8,327,856 and $2,538,000, respectively, for total initial capital contributions
of $10,865,856. As of December 31, 1996, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture
and Wells Fund III had made total capital contributions to the Fund II-Fund III
Joint Venture of approximately $8,330,000 and $4,448,000, respectively, for the
acquisition and development of the Atrium. The Fund II - Fund II-OW Joint
Venture holds approximately 66% equity interest in the Fund II - Fund III Joint
Venture, and Wells Funds III holds approximately 34% equity interest in the Fund
II -Fund III Joint Venture.

The Atrium was first occupied in 1987 and contains approximately 119,000 net
leasable square feet. Each floor of the Atrium was originally under a separate
lease to Lockheed Engineering and Science Company, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Lockheed Company, each of which leases had terms of
approximately eight years and expired June 30, 1996.

Since Lockheed vacated the building as of June 30, 1996, the occupancy rate of
the Atrium Property as of December 31, 1996 was 0% and 100% for 1992 through
1995. The average annual effective rate was $8.81 for 1996, and $17.47 for 1992
through 1995. As set forth above,

5


the lease with Lockheed Company expired on June 30, 1996, and although the
Partnership has responded to various potential tenants regarding leasing
portions of the Atrium, no leases have been signed as of December 31, 1996. It
is anticipated that when leases are obtained for the Atrium, rental rates will
be lower than those paid by the previous tenant, and income could decrease
significantly under the new leases. In addition, such leases are likely to
require substantial tenant finish and refurbishment expenditures by the
Partnership which could further significantly reduce future cash distributions
to Limited Partners.

THE BROOKWOOD GRILL PROPERTY/FUND II - FUND III JOINT VENTURE
- -------------------------------------------------------------

On January 31, 1990, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture acquired a 5.8 acre
tract of undeveloped real property at the intersection of Warsaw Road and
Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia (the "Brookwood Grill
Property"). The Fund II - Fund II-OW Joint Venture paid $1,848,561, including
acquisition expenses, for the 5.8 acre tract of undeveloped property.

On September 20, 1991, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture contributed the
Brookwood Grill, along with its interest as landlord under the lease agreement
referred to below, as a capital contribution to the Fund II-Fund III Joint
Venture. As of September 20, 1991, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture had
expended approximately $2,128,000 for the land acquisition and development of
the Brookwood Grill Property.

As of September 20, 1991, a lease agreement was entered into with the Brookwood
Grill of Roswell, Inc. for the development of approximately 1.5 acres and the
construction of a 7,440 square foot restaurant. This Roswell site, which opened
early March 1992, is the second location in the Atlanta area for what is
anticipated as a southeastern chain of restaurants similar in concept to
Houston's, Ruby Tuesday, and Friday's. This chain is principally owned by David
Rowe, an Atlanta real estate developer of Kroger shopping centers, and several
operating partners formerly with Houston's. The terms of the lease call for an
initial term of 9 years and 11 months, with two additional 10-year option
periods. The agreement calls for a base rental of $217,006 per year for Years 1
through 5, with a 15% increase over the remainder of the initial term. Rental
rates for all option periods will be based on the prevailing market values and
rates for those periods. The Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture has expended
approximately $1,100,000 for the development and construction of the restaurant
building together with parking areas, driveways, landscaping and other
improvements. In addition to the base rent described above, the tenant is
required to pay "additional rent" in amounts equal to a 12% per annum return on
all amounts expended for such improvements.

The occupancy rate for the Brookwood Grill, a sole tenant, was 100% for 1996,
1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The average effective rental per square foot at the
Brookwood Grill is $30.29 for 1996, $30.21 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, and $24.60
for 1992, the first year of occupancy.

6


As of December 31, 1996, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Fund III
had made total contributions to the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture of
approximately $2,128,000 and $1,330,000, respectively, for the acquisition and
development of the Brookwood Grill. The Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture holds
an approximately 62% equity interest in the Brookwood Grill property, and Wells
Fund III holds an approximately 38% equity interest in the project.

On January 10, 1995, the remaining 4.3 undeveloped acres of land comprising the
Holcomb Bridge Road Property was contributed to a new joint venture, Fund II,
III, VI, and VII Associates by Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture. This property is
described below.

FUND II, III, VI AND VII ASSOCIATES/HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD PROPERTY
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

On January 10, 1995, Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture, Wells Real Estate Fund VI ,
L.P. ("Wells Fund VI"), a Georgia public limited partnership having Leo F.
Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership, as general
partners, and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. ("Wells Fund VII"), a Georgia
public limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a
Georgia limited partnership, as general partners, entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement known as Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates ("Fund II, III, VI and
VII Joint Venture"). Wells Partners, L.P. is a private limited partnership
having Wells Capital, Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership, as its sole
general partner. The investment objectives of Wells Fund VI and Wells Fund VII
are substantially identical to those of the Partnership.

In January 1995, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture contributed to the Fund II-
III-VI-VII Joint Venture approximately 4.3 acres of land at the intersection of
Warsaw Road and Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia (the
"Holcomb Bridge Road Property") including land improvements. Development is
substantially complete on two buildings containing a total of approximately
49,500 square feet.. Nine tenants occupied the Holcomb Bridge Property as of
December 31, 1996, for an occupancy rate of 63%. The average effective annual
rental was $9.87 per square foot for 1996.

As of December 31, 1996, Fund II and Fund III Joint Venture had contributed
$1,729,116 in land and improvements for an equity interest of approximately
25.2%, Wells Fund VI had contributed $1,699,846 for an equity interest of
approximately 26.0%, and Wells Fund VII had contributed $3,217,154 for an equity
interest of approximately 48.8%. The total cost to develop the Holcomb Bridge
Road Property is currently estimated to be approximately $5,100,000, excluding
land. It is anticipated that of the remaining cost of approximately $183,000,
$100,000 will be contributed by Wells Fund VI and $83,000 by Wells Fund VII,
after which the equity interests in the property will be 48.3% for Wells Fund
VII, 26.4% for Wells Fund VI, and 25.3% for the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture.
Wells Fund VI and Wells Fund VII have reserved sufficient funds for this
purpose. The Partnership is not obligated to provide any additional funding for
the Holcomb Bridge Road Property.

TUCKER PROPERTY/FUND I - FUND II JOINT VENTURE
- ----------------------------------------------

The Tucker Property consists of a retail shopping center and a commercial office
building complex located in Tucker, DeKalb County, Georgia (the "Tucker
Property"). The retail shopping center at the Tucker Property contains
approximately 29,858 net leasable square feet. The commercial office space at
the Tucker Property, which is divided into seven separate buildings, contains
approximately 67,465 net leasable square feet.

On January 9, 1987, the Partnership acquired an interest in the Tucker Property
which was acquired by a joint venture (the "Tucker Joint Venture") originally
between the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund I ("Wells Fund I"). Wells
Fund I is a Georgia public limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership
through common general partners. The investment objectives of Wells Fund I are
substantially identical to those of the Partnership. Upon the formation of the
Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture in March 1988, the Partnership contributed its
joint venture interest in the Tucker Joint Venture to the Fund II-Fund II-OW
Joint Venture as a part of its capital contribution. On January 1, 1991, the
Cherokee Joint Venture, which is defined below, was merged into the Tucker Joint
Venture forming a new joint venture (the "Tucker-Cherokee Joint Venture"). As
described below, the Cherokee Joint Venture was also a joint venture between the
Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Fund I. Under the terms of the
Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement of Fund I and Fund II
Tucker-Cherokee, the percentage interest of the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture
in the Tucker Project remained unchanged as a result of the merger of the Tucker
Joint Venture into the Tucker-Cherokee Joint Venture.

On August 1, 1995, Wells Fund I and the Fund II-Fund-II-OW Joint Venture entered
into another amendment to effect the contribution of the Cherokee Project to the
Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Joint Venture, as described below. As a result, the
name of the joint venture was changed back to "Fund I and Fund II Tucker", and
is therefore no longer merged with the Cherokee Joint Venture. The Partnership's
percentage interest in the Tucker Project remained unchanged as a result of the
transaction.

Both Wells Fund I and the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture have funded the cost
of completing the Tucker Property through capital contributions which have been
paid as progressive stages of construction were completed. As of December 31,
1996, Wells Fund I had contributed a total of $6,399,854, and the Fund II-Fund
II-OW Joint Venture had contributed a total of $4,826,015 to the Tucker
Property. As of December 31, 1996, Wells Fund I had an approximately 55% equity
interest in the Tucker Property and the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture had an
approximately 45% equity interest in the Tucker Property. As of December 31,
1996, the Tucker Property was 77% occupied by 31 tenants.

There are no tenants in the project occupying ten percent or more of the
rentable square footage. The principal businesses, occupations, and professions
carried on in the building are typical retail shopping/commercial office
services.

8


The occupancy rate at the Tucker Property was 77% in 1996, 83% in 1995, 96% in
1994, 89% in 1993, and 80% in 1992.

The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Tucker Property was
$13.78 for 1996, $12.61 for 1995, $12.63 for 1994, $11.37 for 1993, and $11.37
for 1992.

CHEROKEE PROPERTY/FUND I, II, II-OW, VI, VII JOINT VENTURE
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The Cherokee Property consists of a retail shopping center known as "Cherokee
Commons Shopping Center" located in metropolitan Atlanta, Cherokee County,
Georgia (the "Cherokee Property"). The Cherokee Property consists of
approximately 103,755 net leasable square feet.

On June 30, 1987, the Partnership acquired an interest in the Cherokee Property
through a joint venture (the "Cherokee Joint Venture") between the Wells Fund
II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and Wells Fund I.

On August 1, 1995, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture, Wells Fund I, Wells
Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Wells Fund VI"), a Georgia public limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia limited
partnership, as general partners, and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. ("Wells
Fund VII"), a Georgia public limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and
Wells Partners, L.P., a Georgia limited partnership, as general partners entered
into a joint venture agreement known as Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Associates
(the "Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Joint Venture"), which was formed to own and
operate the Cherokee Project. Wells Partners, L.P. is a private limited
partnership having Wells Capital, Inc., a General Partnership, as its sole
general partner. The investment objectives of Wells Fund I, Wells Fund VI and
Wells Fund VII are substantially identical to those of the Partnership.

As of December 31, 1996, Wells Fund I had contributed property with a book value
of $2,139,900, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture had contributed property
with a book value of $4,860,100, Wells Fund VI had contributed cash in the
amount of $953,798 and Wells Fund VII had contributed cash in the amount of
$953,798 to the Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Joint Venture. As of December 31,
1996, the equity interests in the Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, VII Joint Venture were
approximately as follows: Wells Fund I - 24%, Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint
Venture-54%, Wells Fund VI - 11% and Wells Fund VII - 11%.

The Cherokee Property is anchored by a 67,115 square foot lease with Kroger
Food/Drug which expires in 2011. Kroger's original lease was for 45,528 square
feet. In 1994, Kroger expanded to the current 67,115 square feet which is
approximately 65% of the total rentable square feet in the property. As of
December 31, 1996, the Cherokee Property was approximately 93% occupied by 19
tenants, including Kroger. Kroger, a retail grocery chain, is the only tenant
occupying ten percent or more of the rentable square footage. The other tenants
in the shopping center provide typical retail shopping services.

9


The Kroger lease provides for an annual rent of $392,915 which increased to
$589,102 on August 16, 1995 due to the expansion from 45,528 square feet to
67,115 square feet. The lease expires March 31, 2011 with Kroger entitled to
five successive renewals each for a term of five years at the same rental rate
as the original lease.

The occupancy rate at the Cherokee Property was 93% in 1996, 94% in 1995, 91% in
1994, 89% in 1993, and 88% in 1992.

The average effective annual rental per square foot at the Cherokee Property was
$8.59 for 1996, $7.50 for 1995, $5.33 for 1994, $6.47 for 1993, and $6.46 for
1992.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ---------------------------

Litigation was instituted in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia on
January 13, 1997 against the Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.
("Wells Fund III"), Wells Capital, Inc. and Leo F. Wells, III, who are the
general partners of the Partnership and Wells Fund III, in connection with a
request by a limited partner in the Partnership and Wells Fund III for a list of
the names, addresses and ownership interests of the limited partners which to
date the defendants have refused to furnish to the plaintiff. The case is
-----------
styled Gramercy Park Investments L.P. v. Wells Real Estate Fund II, Wells Real
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estate Fund III, L.P., Wells Capital, Inc. and Leo F. Wells, III. The
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
plaintiff, which is a limited partner in both the Partnership and Wells Fund
III, alleges that it is entitled to copies of the limited partner lists under
applicable provisions of Georgia partnership law and the partnership agreements
of the Partnership and Wells Fund III so that plaintiff may make an offer to
purchase up to 4.9% of the partnership units in each Fund. The plaintiff is
seeking an order directing the defendants to furnish to the plaintiff a current
list of the names, addresses and ownership interests of the limited partners in
the Partnership and Wells Fund III, as well as an award of certain damages,
including its costs and attorneys' fees and such other relief as the court deems
just and proper. On February 26, 1997, the Court denied the plaintiff's request
for an immediate order requiring defendants to furnish the lists to the
plaintiff and instead ordered expedited discovery which is to be completed by
March 31, 1997. Thereafter the Court will again consider the plaintiff's request
to turn over the limited partner lists.

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

No matters were submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

10


PART II


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

As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had 108,572 outstanding Class A Units
held by a total of 3,539 Limited Partners and 30,221 outstanding Class B Units
held by a total of 697 Limited Partners. The total number of Limited Partners
has decreased due to repurchase of units since the termination of the offering
in 1988. The capital contribution per unit is $250. There is no established
public trading market for the Partnership's 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.

Class A Unit holders are entitled to an annual 8% non-cumulative distribution
preference over Class B Unit holders as to cash distributions from Net Cash from
Operations, defined in the Partnership Agreement as Cash Flow, less adequate

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
- -------

As of December 31, 1996, the developed properties owned by the Fund II-Fund
II-OW Joint Venture, excluding the Holcomb Bridge Road Property which is not yet
fully developed, were 64% leased, as compared to 1995, and 1994 when the
properties were 96% and 98% leased respectively. The decrease in the leased
percentages for 1996 compared to 1995 and 1994 is due to the vacancy of the
Atrium for the last six months of 1996.

Gross revenues of the Partnership were $112,454 for the year ended December 31,
1996, as compared to $1,011,995 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, and
$505,921 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease in gross
revenues for fiscal year 1996 from fiscal year 1995 is due primarily to the
vacancy of the Atrium for the last six months of 1996. The increase in gross
revenues for the fiscal year ended 1995 from fiscal 1994 was due primarily to
the full year occupancy at the Charlotte Property.

Administrative expenses of the Partnership are incurred at the joint venture
level. Depreciation expense increased from 1995 to 1996 due to change in the
estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements from 40 years to 25 years,
which became effective October 1, 1995. For further discussion of depreciation
expense, please refer to the notes to the accompanying financial statements.

13


Partnership distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996,
totaled $1,255,195, as compared to $1,882,302 during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995, and $1,523,337 during the fiscal year ended December 31,
1994. The decrease in partnership distributions paid for fiscal year 1996 as
compared to fiscal years 1995 and 1994 was primarily due to the vacancy of the
Atrium in the last six months of 1996.

The Partnership made cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A
units of $11.56 per Unit for fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, $17.34 per
Unit for fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, and $14.03 per Unit for fiscal
year ended December 31, 1994. The Partnership made no cash distributions to
Limited Partners holding Class B Units for fiscal year ended 1996, 1995, or
1994.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of", which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121
established standards for determining when impairment losses on long-lived
assets have occurred and how impairment losses should be measured. The joint
venture adopted SFAS No. 121, effective January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting
SFAS No. 121 was not material to the financial statements of the joint ventures.

14


PROPERTY OPERATIONS
- -------------------

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's percentage ownership in properties
was as follows: 94.7% in the Charlotte Property, 62.10% in The Atrium, 59% in
the Brookwood Grill Property, 14.9% in the Holcomb Bridge Property, 42.5% in the
Tucker Property, and 51.7% in the Cherokee Property.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned interests in the following
properties through the Fund II - Fund II-OW Joint Venture:

Rental income increased slightly in 1996 compared to 1995 due to the increase in
rent at the Property as of April 1996. Rental income increased to $458,867 for
1995 as compared to $275,137 in 1994 due to the occupancy of the building by
First Union Bank for a full year. Depreciation expense increased to $367,667 in
1996 compared to $235,794 in 1995 due to recording a full year's depreciation
expense reflecting the change in estimated useful lives which was made beginning
in fourth quarter, 1995. Depreciation expense increased from $194,278 in 1994 to
$235,794 in 1995 as a result of the change in the estimated useful lives of
buildings and improvements as previously discussed under the "General" section
of "Results of Operations and Change in Financial Conditions". Management and
leasing expenses are stable for the years ended 1996, 1995, and 1994 in
proportion to rental revenues. Other operating expenses decreased slightly from
1995 to 1996 due primarily to a decrease in architectural fees. Other operating
expenses decreased to $39,203 in 1995 compared to $142,231 expended in 1994 due
mainly to marketing and administrative expenses incurred in efforts to lease the
property. Net income decreased to $28,857 in 1996 compared to $156,338 due
primarily to the increase in depreciation expense discussed above. Net income
increased to $156,338 in 1995 compared to the loss of $79,727 in 1994 for the
reasons stated above. (Note: Expenses, income and cash generated to the joint
venture have been restated for 1994. The 1994 statement included expenses paid
by the joint venture on behalf of the Partnership.) The Charlotte Property
lease agreement is one in which the tenant is directly responsible for primarily
all operational expenses including real estate taxes.

Rental income decreased to $1,048,583 in 1996 compared to $2,079,345 due to the
termination of the Lockheed lease as of June 30, 1996. Revenues, expenses and
net income have remained relatively stable for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994. Depreciation expense increased in 1996 compared to 1995 due to
recording a full year's depreciation expense reflecting the change in estimated
useful lives which was made beginning in fourth quarter 1995. In 1995, the
increase in depreciation expense due to the change in the estimated useful lives
of buildings and improvements was offset by a decrease in other operating
expenses. Management and leasing fees decreased in 1996 compared to 1995 due to
the decrease in rental income for the last six months of 1996. Other operating
expenses decreased from $451,362 in 1995 to $158,405 in 1996 primarily due to
the vacancy of the Atrium for the last six months of the year.

The real estate taxes were $150,105 for 1996, $182,687 for 1995, and $186,273
for 1994.

17


The lease with Lockheed Company expired on June 30, 1996, and although the
Partnership has responded to various potential tenants regarding leasing the
Atrium, no leases have been signed as of December 31, 1996. It is anticipated
that when leases are obtained for the Atrium, rental rates will be lower than
those paid by the previous tenant, and income could decrease significantly under
these new leases. In addition, such leases are likely to require significant
tenant finish and refurbishment expenditures by the Partnership which could
substantially reduce future cash distributions to Limited Partners.

Item 1, Business, page 2. For additional information on the property, tenants,
etc., see Item 2, Properties, page 3.

financial statements.

Rental income decreased in 1996 compared to 1995 due to a decrease in billing of
expenses to the tenant. Rental income and expenses were relatively stable for
1995 and 1994. Although there was a change in useful lives of assets from 40
years to 25 years in the fourth quarter of 1995, depreciation expense decreased
in 1996, compared to 1995, due to the contribution of land and land improvements
by Brookwood Grill to the Holcomb Bridge Road Property. Other operating
expenses increased in 1996 compared to 1995 due to decreased property tax
reimbursements from tenant, and a reimbursement to the tenant in first quarter,
1996, of administrative charges paid in 1995. Net income decreased to $15,485
in 1996 compared to $92,344 in 1995 due primarily to the increased operating
expenses in 1996, and due to the net loss generated by the Fund II, III, VI and
VII Joint Venture.

Real estate taxes were $33,494 for 1996, $39,668 for 1995, and $38,091 for
1994.

Since the Holcomb Bridge Property was under construction and not occupied until
first quarter, 1996, comparative income and expense figures for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, are not available.

In January 1995, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture contributed 4.3 acres of
land and land improvements at the Holcomb Bridge Road Property to the Fund II-
III-VI-VII Joint Venture. Development is being completed on two buildings
containing a total of approximately 49,500 square feet. As of December 31,
1996, nine tenants occupied approximately 31,144 square feet of space in the
retail and office building under leases of varying lengths.

20


As of December 31, 1996, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture contributed
$1,729,116 in land and improvements for an equity interest of approximately
25.2%, Wells Fund VI had contributed $1,699,846 for an equity interest of
approximately 26.0%, and Wells Fund VII had contributed $3,217,154 for an
equity interest of approximately 48.8%. The total cost to develop the Holcomb
Bridge Road Property is currently estimated to be approximately $5,100,000,
excluding land. It is anticipated that of the remaining cost of approximately
$183,000, $100,000 will be contributed by Wells Fund VI and $83,000 by Wells
Fund VII, after which the equity interests in the property will be 48.3% for
Wells Fund VII, 26.4% for Wells Fund VI, and 25.3% for the Fund II-Fund III
Joint Venture. Wells Fund VI and Wells Fund VII have reserved sufficient funds
for this purpose.

Real estate taxes were $37,191 for 1996.

Rental income decreased from 1995 to 1996 due primarily to decreased tenant
occupancy. Operating expenses increased in 1996 over 1995 due to an increase in
HVAC repairs, painting expense and maintenance. Operating expenses decreased in
1995 as compared to 1994 due chiefly to an increase in property taxes, utilities
and other repairs/maintenance. The increase in depreciation expense in 1996
over 1995 and 1994 is a result of the change in the estimated useful lives of
buildings and improvements as previously discussed under the "General Section of
Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions."

Net income decreased in 1996 to ($35,166) from $253,287 in 1995 due to increased
depreciation and operating expenses, as discussed above. Further, a fire
occurred in September 1996 resulting in estimated repair costs of $210,927. An
insurance check in the amount of $143,944 was received in December 1996, and
repairs are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 1997. A
loss on real estate assets of $61,985 is reflected in the aforementioned loss of
income. Net income decreased in 1995 to $253,287 from $359,847 in 1994 due to
decreased tenant occupancy and an increase in operating expenses as discussed
above.

The property was 77% leased as of December 31, 1996, as compared to 83% as of
December 31, 1995, and 96% as of December 31, 1994. Rental income for 1996
decreased over the 1995 level due to the loss of tenants occupying 8,500 square
feet.

Real estate taxes were $111,947 for 1996, $127,484 for 1995, and $105,042 for
1994.

Rental income increased in 1996 over 1995 due to the Kroger expansion which was
completed in November 1994. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased approximately $225,500 from the rental income for the year ended
December 31, 1994. This increase is due to excess rents relating to the Kroger
expansion which, although completed in November of 1994, was billed
retroactively and paid in September 1995. The decrease in occupancy in 1996 is
due to the current vacancy of 2,380 square feet; however, a lease is being
negotiated for 1,200 square feet with anticipated occupancy in February 1997.
Operating expenses of the property increased to $180,841 in 1996 from $115,885
in 1995 and decreased from $569,830 in 1994. The increase

23


from 1995 to 1996 is due primarily to repairs and maintenance (roof repairs,
painting and tenant finish) and general and administrative expenses. The
decrease in operating expenses in 1995 over 1994 is due to retirement of tenant
improvements which resulted from the Kroger expansion. The increase in
depreciation expense for 1996 as compared to 1995 and 1994 is a result of the
change in the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements which became
effective in the fourth quarter of 1995, as previously discussed. Net income of
the property decreased to $231,882 in 1996 from $349,097 in 1995 and increased
from ($211,950) in 1994, due to the increase in operating expenses as discussed
above.

A lease amendment was executed with Kroger expanding its existing store at the
Cherokee Commons Shopping Center from 45,528 square feet to 66,918 square feet.
In November, 1994 construction was completed on the Kroger expansion and
remodeling of the center. The total cost for both the Kroger expansion and
remodeling of the Center was $2,807,367. The costs of this expansion were
funded in the following amounts: Wells Fund I, $94,679 and the Fund II-Fund II-
OW Joint Venture $805,092, as of December 31, 1994 and Wells Fund VI $953,798
and Wells Fund VII $953,798 as of December 31, 1995.

Real estate taxes were $63,696 for 1996, $63,694 for 1995 and $56,080 for 1994.

For comments on the general conditions to which the property may be subject, see
Item 1, Business, Page 2. For additional information on the property, tenants,
etc., see Item 2, Properties, page 3.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

During its offering, which terminated on September 7, 1988, the Partnership
raised a total of $34,948,250 through the sale of 139,793 units. No additional
units will be sold by the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership
contributed an aggregate of $28,187,574 in capital contributions to the Fund II
- - Fund II-OW Joint Venture. after incurring approximately $6,700,000 in offering
costs.

Since the Partnership is an investment partnership formed for the purpose of
acquiring, owning and operating income-producing real property and has invested
all of its funds available for investment, it is highly unlikely that the
Partnership will acquire interests in any additional properties, and the
Partnership's capital resources are anticipated to remain relatively stable over
the holding period of its investments.

The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased to $24,741
in 1996 from $9,968 in 1995 due primarily to reimbursement of state taxes by
Limited Partners. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $9,968
in 1995 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $138,870 in 1994
due primarily to distribution to the partners of approximately $138,000, the
prior year balance of IBM lease termination fee discussed on page 4.

Cash used in investing activities decreased in 1996 due to payment of $84,504
accrued in 1995. The increase in cash used in investing activities from $78,863
in 1994 to $84,504 in 1995 was due to the additional investment in the Fund II-
and II-OW Joint Venture for the Cherokee Commons Property, specifically the
Kroger expansion. These investments were funded from the working capital
reserves which were primarily reserved from the Partners' initial contributions
to the Partnership. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $112,536 in 1994
to $38,000 in 1995 primarily due to the aforementioned investments. Cash and
cash equivalents increased to $62,741 in 1996 due primarily to the repayment of
taxes mentioned above.

Partnership distributions paid to limited partners decreased from $1,851,243 in
1995 to $1,582,817 in 1996 due primarily to the decrease in joint venture
distributions which were the result of reduced rental revenue. Partnership
distributions paid to limited partners increased from $1,491,607 in 1994 to
$1,851,243 in 1995 due to increased distributions from the Fund II-Fund II-OW
Joint Venture.

The Partnership's cash distribution to Class A Unit holders paid and payable
through the fourth quarter of 1996 have been paid from Net Cash from Operations
and do not constitute a return of capital. The Partnership anticipates that
distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly basis from Net Cash from
Operations. No cash distributions were paid to Class B Unit holders for 1996.

25


The Partnership expects to meet liquidity requirements and budget demands
through cash flow from operations subject to the potential need to fund tenant
improvements which may be required for new tenants at the Atrium, as previously
discussed. The Partnership is unaware of any known demands, commitments,
events or capital expenditures other than that which is required for the normal
operation of its properties that will result in the Partnership's liquidity
increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Partnership is not obligated
to fund any additional costs for the Holcomb Bridge Road Project. Additional
funding for the Holcomb Bridge Road Project is anticipated to be provided by
capital contributions from Wells Fund VI and Wells Fund VII, which have reserved
sufficient capital for this purpose.

INFLATION
- ---------

Real estate 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 the tenant leases to protect the Partnership from the impact of
inflation. These leases contain common area maintenance charges (CAM 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. These provisions reduce the Partnership's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In
addition, a number of the Partnership's leases are for terms of less than five
years which may permit the Partnership to replace existing leases with new
leases at higher base rental rates if the existing leases are below market rate.
There is no assurance, however, that the Partnership would be able to replace
existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND II (a

related statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for the years
then ended. 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. The financial statements of Wells Real Estate Fund II for the year ended
December 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 13,
1995 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 II as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND II


(A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994



1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Wells Real Estate Fund II (the "Partnership") is a public limited
partnership organized on June 23, 1986 under the laws of the state of
Georgia. The public general partners are Leo F. Wells III and Wells
Capital, Inc. (the "Company"). The Partnership has two classes of limited
partnership interests, Class A and Class B units. 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, and (c) remove a general partner. 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 class.

The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate commercial real
properties, including properties which are either to be developed,
currently under development or construction, newly constructed, or have
operating histories. The Partnership owns an interest in several properties
through a joint venture between the Partnership and Wells Real Estate Fund
II-OW ("Wells Fund II-OW") referred to as Fund II and II-OW.

Through its investment in Fund II and II-OW joint venture, the Partnership
owns interests in the following properties: (i) a two story office building
located in Charlotte, North Carolina (the "Charlotte Property"); (ii) a
retail shopping and commercial office complex located in Tucker, Georgia,
Heritage Place at Tucker ("Tucker"); (iii) a shopping center located in
Cherokee County, Georgia, the Cherokee Commons Shopping Center ("Cherokee
Commons"); (iv) a four story office building located in metropolitan
Houston, Texas, the Atrium at Nassau Bay ("The Atrium"), (v) a restaurant
located in Fulton County, Georgia; and (vi) a retail shopping center in
Fulton County, Georgia. Fund II and II-OW joint venture owns 100% of the
Charlotte Property. All remaining properties are owned by Fund II and II-OW
joint venture through investments in joint ventures with other Wells funds.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE PARTNERSHIP

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

F-8


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.

The carrying values of real estate 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 upon the Partnership's ability to maintain
rental rates, occupancy, and an appropriate level of operating expenses in
future years. Management believes that the steps it is taking will enable
the Partnership to realize its investment in its assets.

The lease with one significant tenant at The Atrium contributed
approximately 14% and 43% of rental income to the Partnership for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This tenant's lease expired
in June 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has been unable to
re-lease The Atrium. If the Partnership is able to obtain leases with new
tenants for The Atrium, such leases are likely to require substantial
tenant finish and refurbishment expenditures by the Partnership and may be
re-leased at rates substantially lower than those previously obtained,
which could have the effect of substantially reducing future cash
distributions to the partners.

INCOME TAXES

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes, and
therefore, none have been provided for 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 is distributed on a cumulative
noncompounded basis to limited partners on a quarterly basis. In
accordance with the partnership agreement, distributions first are paid to
limited partners holding Class A units until they have received an 8%
return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Cash available
for distribution is then distributed to limited partners holding Class B
units until they have received an 8% return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined. Excess cash available for distribution will be
distributed to the general partners until each has received 10% of total
distributions to limited partners for the year. Thereafter, cash available
for distribution is distributed 90% to the limited partners and 10% to the
general partners.

DISTRIBUTION OF SALES PROCEEDS

Upon sales of properties, the net sales proceeds are distributed in the
following order:

. To limited partners until all limited partners have received 100%
of their adjusted capital contributions, as defined

. To limited partners holding Class B units until they receive an
amount equal to the net cash available for distribution received
by the limited partners holding Class A units

. To all limited partners until they receive a cumulative 12% per
annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined

F-9


. To all limited partners until they receive an amount equal to
their respective cumulative distributions

. To all general partners until they have received 100% of their
capital contributions

. Thereafter, 85% to the limited partners and 15% 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 proportions 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
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 Class B 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 a qualified income offset
provision in 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 Class B limited partners in
amounts equal to 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. The joint ventures in
which Fund II and II-OW hold an ownership interest follow the same
significant accounting policies as the Partnership.

REAL ESTATE ASSETS. Real estate assets held by Fund II and II-OW 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.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
of," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 121 establishes standards for determining

F-10


when impairment losses on long-lived assets have occurred and how
impairment losses should be measured. Fund II and II-OW, and the entities
in which it holds joint venture interests, adopted SFAS No. 121, effective
January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to
the financial statements of Fund II and II-OW or its affiliated joint
ventures.

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 amount of real estate assets may not be
recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of real estate assets
under SFAS No. 121 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 Fund II and II-OW or its affiliated joint ventures as
of December 31, 1996.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over useful lives
of the real estate assets. Effective October 1, 1995, the joint venture
revised its estimate of the useful lives of buildings and improvements from
40 years to 25 years. This change was made to better reflect the estimated
periods during which such assets will remain in service. The change had the
effect on the Partnership, through its ownership interest in the joint
venture, of increasing depreciation expense approximately $112,852 in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and $496,465 in the year ended December 31, 1996.

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.

PARTNERS' DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS. Cash available
for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the Partnership by
Fund II and II-OW are made in accordance with the terms of the individual
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 on a quarterly basis.

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 (loss) per unit with respect to the Partnership for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 is computed based on the number of
units outstanding during the period.

F-11


RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 financial statement presentation.


2. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due from affiliate at December 31, 1996 and 1995 represents the
Partnership's share of cash to be distributed from Fund II and II-OW for
the fourth quarters of 1996 and 1995.

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 of the
Partnership's properties, the Partnership will generally pay Wells
Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) 3% of the gross
revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate
maximum of 6%) plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of
newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily
charged in arm's-length transactions by others rendering similar services
in the same geographic area for similar properties or (b) in the case of
commercial properties which are leased on a long-term net basis (ten or
more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal
to 3% of the gross revenues over the first five years of the lease term.

The Partnership incurred management and leasing fees and lease acquisition
costs, at the joint venture level, of $165,045, $196,801, and $208,394 for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, 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 upon 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 of other Wells Real Estate
funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the general
partners, while serving in the capacity as general partners of other Wells
Real Estate funds, may be in competition with the Partnership for tenants
in similar geographic markets.

F-12


3. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

On March 1, 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture agreement
with Wells Fund II-OW. The joint venture, Fund II and II-OW, was formed
for the purpose of investing in commercial real properties. Fund II and
II-OW owns the Charlotte Property directly and has investments in several
other joint ventures. The Partnership's ownership percentage interest in
Fund II and II-OW was approximately 95% at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

The following is a roll forward of the Partnership's investment in joint
venture for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995:

The following are descriptions of the joint ventures in which Fund II and II-
OW has investments.

FUND I AND II TUCKER


Tucker and Cherokee Commons were previously held in joint ventures between
Wells Real Estate Fund I ("Fund I") and Fund II and II-OW. The joint
ventures were formed for the purpose of owning, developing, and operating
Cherokee Commons and Tucker. In 1991, the Tucker and Cherokee joint ventures
were merged into a new joint venture, the Tucker-Cherokee Joint Venture.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the ownership interests of
Fund I and Fund II and II-OW in each individual property remained unchanged.

On August 1, 1995, the Fund I and II Tucker--Cherokee joint venture assigned
its ownership in Cherokee Commons to the Fund I, II, II-OW, VI, and VII
Associates joint venture. Upon the assignment of Cherokee Commons, the joint
venture was renamed Fund I and II Tucker. Tucker is a retail shopping center
containing approximately 29,858 square feet and a commercial office building
complex containing approximately 67,465 square feet in Tucker, DeKalb County,
Georgia.

In 1996, one of the tenants in Tucker experienced a fire. Fund I and II
Tucker received an insurance settlement of $143,944 for damages to the
building. The loss on real estate assets of $61,985 is included in the
accompanying statements of (loss) income.
