CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K of Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. (the “Partnership”) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Specifically, among others, we consider statements concerning projections of future operating results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of future distributions to limited partners to be forward-looking statements.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date that this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the Partnership nor the General Partners make any representations or warranties (expressed or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-K, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations; provide distributions to limited partners; and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements follow:

 

General economic risks

 

    Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions; and

 

    Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of one or more tenants in properties owned by our joint ventures.

 

Real estate risks

 

    Ability to achieve appropriate occupancy levels resulting in rental amounts sufficient to cover operating costs;

 

    Supply of or demand for similar or competing rentable space, which may adversely impact retaining or obtaining new tenants upon lease expiration at acceptable rental amounts;

 

    Tenant ability or willingness to satisfy obligations relating to our existing lease agreements;

 

    Potential need to fund tenant improvements, lease-up costs, or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow or net sale proceeds;

 

    Increases in property operating expenses, including property taxes, insurance, and other costs not recoverable from tenants;

 

Page 2


Table of Contents
    Ability to secure adequate insurance at reasonable and appropriate rates to avoid uninsured losses or losses in excess of insured amounts;

 

    Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous or other undetected adverse conditions;

 

    Unexpected costs of capital expenditures related to tenant build-out projects or other unforeseen capital expenditures; and

 

    Ability to sell a property when desirable at an acceptable return, including the ability of the purchaser to satisfy any and all closing conditions.

 

Other operational risks

 

    Dependency on Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), the corporate general partner of one of our General Partners, its key personnel, and its affiliates for various administrative services;

 

    Wells Capital’s ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel who can provide acceptable service levels to us and generate economies of scale for us over time;

 

    Increases in our administrative operating expenses, including increased expenses associated with operating as a public company in the current regulatory environment;

 

    Changes in governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws and regulations and the related costs of compliance;

 

    Ability to demonstrate compliance with any governmental, tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning law or regulation in the event that any such position is questioned by the respective authority; and

 

    Actions of our joint venture partners including potential bankruptcy, business interests differing from ours, or other actions that may adversely impact the operations of joint ventures.

PART I

 

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.

 

General

 

Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. (“Wells Partners”), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership, serving as its general partners (collectively, the “General Partners”). Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”) serves as the corporate general partner of Wells Partners. Wells Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the sole owner of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. The Partnership was formed on June 20, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing commercial properties for investment purposes. Upon subscription, limited partners elect to have their units treated as Class A Units or Class B Units. The limited partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of their units treated as Class A Units or Class B 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; and (c) add or remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the above-described matters will bind the Partnership without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.

 

On December 31, 1997, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $35,000,000 of Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 125,000 units on March 3, 1998. The offering was terminated on December 30, 1998, at which time the Partnership had sold approximately 1,302,942 Class A Units and 350,338 Class B Units representing capital contributions of $16,532,802.

 

Management believes that the Partnership typically operates the following five key life cycle phases. The duration of each phase is dependent upon various economic, industry, market, and other internal/external factors. Some overlap naturally exists in the transition from one phase to the next.

 

    Fundraising phase

The period during which the Partnership is raising capital through the sale and issuance of limited partner units to the public;

 

    Investing phase

The period during which the Partnership invests the capital raised during the fundraising phase, less upfront fees, into the acquisition of real estate assets;

 

    Holding phase

The period during which real estate assets are owned and operated by the Partnership during the initial lease terms of the tenants;

 

    Positioning-for-sale phase

The period during which the leases in place at the time of acquisition expire and, thus, the Partnership expends time, effort, and funds to re-lease such space to existing and/or new tenants. Following the holding phase, the Partnership continues to own and operate the real estate assets, evaluate various options for disposition, and market the real estate assets for sale; and

 

    Disposition-and-liquidation phase

The period during which the Partnership sells its real estate investments, distributes net sale proceeds to the partners, liquidates, and terminates the Partnership.

 

Page 4


Table of Contents

The Partnership is currently in the holding phase of its life cycle. Accordingly, we will focus resources on managing the Partnership’s existing portfolio and locating suitable replacement tenants for vacant space as necessary.

 

Employees

 

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital and Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and investor relations for the Partnership. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a summary of the compensation and fees paid to the General Partners and their affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Insurance

 

Wells Management carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to the properties owned by the Partnership through its interest in joint ventures. In the opinion of management, all such 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, in connection with negotiating leases, the Partnership may be required to offer rental concessions, reduced charges for tenant improvements, and other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on results of operations. The Partnership is also in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its properties.

On May 18, 1999, Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates purchased 111 Southchase Boulevard, a manufacturing and office building located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. 111 Southchase Boulevard is a manufacturing building including approximately 169,000 rentable square feet, comprised of approximately 141,000 square feet of manufacturing space, 25,000 square feet of two-story office space, and 3,000 square feet of cafeteria/training space.

 

The entire rentable area of 111 Southchase Boulevard was under a lease with EYBL CarTex, Inc. for an initial term of ten years, which commenced on March 1, 1998 and was to expire on February 29, 2008. EYBL CarTex, Inc., the sole tenant of 111 Southchase Boulevard, did not fulfill the terms of the lease and vacated in November 2002.

 

20/20 Building

 

On July 2, 1999, the Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates acquired the 20/20 Building, a three-story office building including approximately 68,900 rentable square feet on a 7.12-acre tract of land located in Leawood, Kansas.

 

The entire rentable area of the 20/20 Building was under a lease with Sprint Communications, Inc. (“Sprint”) for an initial term of ten years, which commenced on May 19, 1997 and was to expire on May 18, 2007. The monthly base rent payable under the lease was approximately $83,254 through May 18, 2002 and approximately $91,867 for the remainder of the lease term.

 

Sprint, the sole tenant of the 20/20 Building, exercised an early lease termination and vacated in May 2004. Under the terms of the lease, Sprint paid Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates approximately $450,000 in early lease termination fees.

 

Johnson Matthey Building

 

On August 17, 1999, Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates acquired the Johnson Matthey Building, an office and warehouse building including approximately 130,000 square feet located in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The Johnson Matthey Building was first constructed in 1973 as a multi-tenant facility and was subsequently converted into a single-tenant facility in 1998.

 

The entire rentable area of the Johnson Matthey Building was leased to Johnson Matthey, which commenced on July 1, 1998 and was to expire on June 30, 2007.

 

On October 5, 2004, the Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates sold Johnson Matthey Building to the current sole tenant, Johnson Matthey, Inc., for a gross sale price of $10,000,000. As a result of the sale of the Johnson Matthey Building, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $2,530,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $632,000.

Gartner Building

 

On September 20, 1999, Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates acquired the Gartner Building, a two-story office building with approximately 62,400 rentable square feet on a 4.9-acre tract of land located in Fort Myers, Florida.

 

The entire rentable area of the Gartner Building is currently under a lease agreement with Gartner, Inc. (“Gartner”). The initial term of the lease was ten years, which commenced on February 1, 1998 and was set to expire on January 31, 2008. Gartner has executed the right to extend the lease for a five-year period. The current lease expires January 31, 2013. Gartner has the right to extend the Gartner lease for one additional five-year period. The annual base rent payable under the Gartner lease is approximately $872,720 through January 2005, increased by 2.5% annually through January 31, 2008 and 2% annually through the remainder of the lease term. The annualized base rent in 2013 is $1,037,642.

 

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of its business. We are not currently involved in any litigation for which the outcome would, in the judgment of the General Partners based on information currently available, have a materially adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us. In addition, no legal proceedings were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2004.

 

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 2004.

 

PART II

 

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

 

Summary

 

As of February 28, 2005, 1,386,674 Class A Units and 266,606 Class B Units held by a total of 1,245 and 83 limited partners, respectively, were outstanding. Capital contributions are equal to $10.00 per each limited partnership unit. A public trading market has not been established for the Partnership’s limited partnership units, nor is such a market anticipated to develop in the future. The partnership agreement provides the General Partners with the right to prohibit transfers of units at their discretion.

 

Unit Valuation

 

Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and IRA custodians are required to determine and report the value of the assets held in their respective plans or accounts on an annual basis, the General Partners are required under the partnership agreement to report estimated unit values to the limited partners each year in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining such estimated unit values under the partnership agreement requires the General Partners to estimate the amount a unit holder would receive assuming that the Partnership’s properties were sold at their estimated fair market values as of the end of the Partnership’s fiscal year and the proceeds therefrom (without any reduction for selling expenses) plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by the Partnership at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation. The estimated unit valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units, and who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement.

 

Page 11


Table of Contents

Utilizing the foregoing methodology and based upon market conditions existing in early December 2004, the General Partners have estimated the Partnership’s unit valuations, based upon their estimates of property values as of December 31, 2004, to be approximately $7.40 per Class A Unit and $11.73 per Class B Unit, based upon market conditions existing in early December 2004. These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners’ units, what limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Partnership’s properties, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Partnership’s properties were sold and the proceeds distributed in a liquidation of the Partnership. 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 ever develop. In addition, property values are subject to change and could decline in the future. While, as required by the partnership agreement, the General Partners have obtained an opinion from The David L. Beal Company, an independent MAI appraiser, to the effect that such estimates of value were deemed reasonable and were prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate, no actual appraisals were obtained due to the inordinate expense which would be involved in obtaining appraisals for all of the Partnership’s properties.

 

The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only, and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. For example, as a result of the availability of conversion elections under the partnership agreement and the resulting complexities involved relating to the distribution methodology under the partnership agreement, each limited partnership unit of the Partnership potentially has its own unique characteristics as to distributions and value. These estimated valuations assume, and are applicable only to, limited partners who have made no conversion elections under the partnership agreement and who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units. Further, as set forth above, no third-party appraisals have or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated unit valuations set forth above should not be used by or relied upon by investors, other than fiduciaries of retirement plans and IRA custodians for limited ERISA and IRA reporting purposes, as any indication of the fair market value of their units. In addition, it should be noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians may use estimated unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Partnership’s units in secondary market trades, and that such estimated unit valuations may well be lower than those estimated by the General Partners using the methodology required by the partnership agreement.

 

It should also be noted that once the Partnership begins the process of selling certain of its properties and that, as properties are sold and the net proceeds from property sales are distributed to limited partners, the remaining value of the Partnership’s portfolio of properties, and resulting value of Partnership’s limited partnership units, will naturally decline.

 

Operating cash available for distribution to the limited partners is generally distributed on a quarterly basis. Under the partnership agreement, distributions from net cash from operations are allocated first to the limited partners holding Class A Units (and limited partners holding Class B Units that have elected a conversion right that allows them to share in the distribution rights of limited partners holding Class A Units) until they have received 10% of their adjusted capital contributions. Cash available for distribution is then distributed to the General Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of cash distributions previously distributed to the limited partners. Any remaining cash available for distribution is split between the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners on a basis of 90% and 10%, respectively.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL AND CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data presented in Item 6 and our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto.

 

(a)   Overview

 

Portfolio Overview

 

The Partnership is in the holding phase of its life cycle. The Partnership originally owned interests in eleven properties through the Joint Ventures, but two properties, the Cort Building and the Johnson Matthey Building, have already been sold. Our focus at this time involves increasing the current occupancy level within the portfolio and concentrating on re-leasing and marketing efforts that we believe will deliver the best operating performance for our investors. While ongoing operations are the primary focus during this phase, we could complete strategic asset sales if the sales capitalize on short-term market or property characteristics and meet the overall objectives of the Partnership.

 

We are pleased to highlight a few significant events within the Partnership over the past year. We signed a lease extension at the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building through October 2014. We signed a new five-year lease at 47320 Kato Road with TCI International, Inc. We negotiated a five-year lease extension with Gartner at the Gartner Building through January 2013. We also successfully extended the GAIAM lease at the 360 Interlocken Building through May 2008, and we recently signed two new leases that will increase the building occupancy to 93% in the first quarter 2005. We completed the sale of the Johnson Matthey Building to the sole tenant on October 5, 2004, at a sale price that was well above the acquisition price. Lastly, we announced the first distribution of net sale proceeds to the limited partners, which is currently scheduled for the second quarter 2005, totaling approximately $2,300,000 from the sales of the Cort Building and the Johnson Matthey Building.

 

Page 14


Table of Contents

The weighted-average occupancy for the portfolio has fallen to 48%. We face some near-term leasing issues that may negatively affect our operating performance. 111 Southchase Boulevard and the 20/20 Building are 100% vacant, and one other lease, Ohmeda, expires in the near term. While these leasing challenges may impact performance, we are working aggressively with existing and potential tenants in these markets to minimize any negative effects to the extent possible.

 

The General Partners are currently reserving operating cash, largely due to the reduction in cash flow as a result of the sole tenant of the 20/20 Building vacating, and funding the re-leasing costs associated with the lease renewals at the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building and the Gartner Building. Given the further reduction in cash flow resulting from the sale of the Johnson Matthey Building and the leasing and capital issues facing the Partnership, the General Partners anticipate that operating distributions may be reserved in the near term. These issues include: (i) leasing costs for the remaining vacant space at the 360 Interlocken Building; (ii) re-leasing costs for the 20/20 Building, 111 Southchase Boulevard, and the Ohmeda Building; and (iii) funding other capital improvements for the 20/20 Building.

 

Property Summary

 

Information related to the properties owned by the Joint Ventures follows:

 

    As mentioned previously, we have signed an extension of the lease with Alstom Power, with a new lease expiration date of October 31, 2014. While this lease extension includes some upfront costs and reduces the contract rent to current market levels, we avoided a significant vacancy in the Knoxville market, which is experiencing a 14% vacancy level. Now that the lease extension has been finalized, we are marketing this asset for sale.

 

    The 360 Interlocken Building is located in the Broomfield submarket of Denver, Colorado. The majority of this building is currently leased to GAIAM through May 2008, now that we have successfully extended their lease for three years. We recently signed two new leases that will increase the building occupancy to 93% in the first quarter 2005. We also continue to pursue tenants for the remaining vacancy at this property.

 

    The Avaya Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is 100% leased through January 2008.

 

    The Iomega Building, located in Ogden, Utah, outside Salt Lake City, is 100% leased through April 2009.

 

    The Ohmeda Building is located in Louisville, Colorado, adjacent to the Broomfield submarket. The lease for this property expires in April 2005, and we are focused on lease negotiations for this asset.

 

    The Cort Building was sold in September 2003. The Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,316,000. The General Partners are currently scheduled to distribute these proceeds to the limited partners in the second quarter of 2005.

 

    We have signed a new lease at 47320 Kato Road, located in Fremont, California, in the Silicon Valley area. TCI International, Inc. was previously subleasing the building from Fairchild Technologies. We have now completed a direct lease with TCI International, Inc., beginning in December 2004 and extending through November 2009, for the entire building.

 

    111 Southchase Boulevard in Greenville, South Carolina, is currently vacant. We are pursuing a number of market opportunities for this asset.

 

    Sprint exercised an early termination option at the 20/20 Building effective in May 2004. The tenant has vacated the property, and we have engaged our local leasing team to begin the marketing effort.

 

Page 15


Table of Contents
    The Johnson Matthey Building was sold on October 5, 2004. The Partnership received approximately $2,530,000 in net sale proceeds. The General Partners are currently scheduled to distribute approximately $984,000 of these proceeds to the limited partners in the second quarter 2005. As set forth above, the remaining net sale proceeds are being reserved to fund capital costs discussed previously.

 

    The Gartner Building is located in Fort Myers, Florida. During the third quarter, we completed a five-year extension of the Gartner lease for the entire building through January 2013.

 

As we continue to operate in the holding phase, we will continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space and space that may become vacant upon the expiration of our current leases. In doing so, we will seek to maximize returns to the limited partners by negotiating long-term leases at market rental rates while attempting to minimize down time, re-leasing expenditures, ongoing property level costs, and portfolio costs. As we move into the positioning-for-sale and disposition-and-liquidation phases, our attention will shift to locating suitable buyers and negotiating purchase-sale contracts that will attempt to maximize the total return to the limited partners and minimize contingencies and our post-closing involvement with the buyer.

 

Industry Factors

 

Our results continue to be impacted by a number of factors influencing the real estate industry.

 

General Economic and Real Estate Market Commentary

 

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

 

Management believes that the U.S. economy is continuing on the path of slow, but steady recovery. Job growth is improving, with 2.2 million jobs created in 2004, and with another 2.4 to 2.8 million projected to be added in 2005. Gross Domestic Product growth and renewed business confidence are fueling the job growth. However, uncertainty still exists in the economy, primarily due to high oil prices, the war in Iraq, the trade deficit, and other global issues.

 

The U.S. office real estate market has begun to show modest improvement. The strength of the overall economy is having a positive impact on office real estate fundamentals. Positive absorption of office space combined with a decline in new construction has contributed to the increase in office occupancy rates for three consecutive quarters. Although occupancy rates have increased, management does not expect that they will rise by more than 200 basis points annually. As a result, management anticipates that it could be a minimum of two to three years before vacancy rates reach the equilibrium level of ten to twelve percent. Average asking rates stabilized in the second half of 2004. Management believes that renewed employment growth should benefit the office market; however, the uncertainty that still exists in the economy is causing many firms to continue to be more cautious with their investment and hiring decisions. Importantly, management believes the pace and strength of the recovery for office real estate will vary by market. Market conditions vary widely by geographical region, metropolitan area, submarket, and property.

 

The real estate capital transaction market continues to be very active. Capitalization rates (“cap rates”) have continued to decline in spite of the fact that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) increased the Federal Funds Rate five times in 2004. Management believes that the decline in cap rates is predominately driven by increased capital flows into real estate. The spread between average cap rates and 10-year U.S. Treasuries narrowed in 2004; however, this was primarily due to a drop in cap rates rather than a rise in 10-year U.S. Treasuries. In management’s opinion, absent a significant move in interest rates or a significant decrease in the number of parties interested in acquiring real estate, cap rates are not expected to significantly increase from their current levels in 2005.

Real Estate Funds with Current Vacancy or Near-term Rollover Exposure

 

Real estate funds, such as the Partnership, that contain properties with current vacancies or near-term tenant rollover may face a challenging leasing environment. The properties within these funds will generally face lower rents and higher concession packages to the tenants in order to re-lease vacant space.

 

From a valuation standpoint, it is generally preferable to either renew an existing tenant lease or re-lease the property prior to marketing it for sale. Generally, buyers will heavily discount their offering prices to compensate for existing or pending vacancies.

 

(b)   Results of Operations

 

Equity in Income of Joint Ventures

 

Equity in income of Joint Ventures was $1,073,182, $557,937, and $837,509 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The 2004 increase in equity in income of Joint Ventures as compared to 2003, is attributable to (i) the gain recognized on the sale of the Johnson Matthey Building in the fourth quarter of 2004; (ii) a decline in depreciation expense as a result of changing the estimated weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years for all buildings owned through the Joint Ventures effective July 1, 2004; (iii) recognition of an early lease termination fee from Sprint, the sole tenant of the 20/20 Building, effective in May 2004, partially offset by (iv) a decrease in operating income generated by Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates, as a result of the sole tenant of the 20/20 Building, Sprint, vacating this property in May 2004; (v) a decrease in operating income generated by Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates as a result of entering into lease amendments with the sole tenant of the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building and the majority tenant at 360 Interlocken Boulevard to extend their lease terms at the respective current prevailing market rates, which were lower than the rates previously charged; (vi) a reduction in operating income due to the September 2003 sale of the Cort Building, and the following nonrecurring items: (vii) receipt of a property tax refund in 2003 from the taxing authority for 111 Southchase Boulevard due to a reassessment, and (viii) the recovery of receivables (previously reserved in 2002) from the sole tenant of the Gartner Building in the first quarter of 2003.

 

The 2003 decrease, as compared to 2002, in equity in income of Joint Ventures is attributable to (i) forgone operating revenues and loss recognized as a result of the sale of the Cort Building, (ii) write off of unrealizable receivables at Iomega Building, and (iii) decline in operating income from Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates as a result of a decline of occupancy at 360 Interlocken Boulevard during 2003.

 

We expect future equity in income of Joint Ventures to decrease as a result of (i) the Sprint early lease termination at 20/20 Building, (ii) entering into leases with the sole tenant of the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building and 47320 Kato Road and majority tenant at the 360 Interlocken Building at the current prevailing market rates, which was less than the rates previously charged for this space, and (iii) the April lease expiration for the sole tenant of the Ohmeda Building.

 

Expenses of the Partnership

 

Our total expenses were $148,663, $114,335, and $92,876 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The increases are primarily attributable to increases in administrative salaries, accounting fees, legal fees, and printing costs, all of which has occurred in association with increased reporting and regulatory requirements. We anticipate additional increases related to implementing and adhering to such reporting and regulatory requirements on a going-forward basis.

 

Page 17


Table of Contents
(c)   Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our operating strategy entails funding expenses related to the recurring operations of the properties owned by the Joint Ventures with operating cash flows, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund portfolio expenses, known re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows are distributed from the Joint Ventures, to the Partnership, and are considered available for distribution to the limited partners. Distributions are generally paid to the limited partners quarterly. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash position is critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources are available. Economic downturns in one or more of our core markets could adversely impact the ability of the Joint Ventures’ tenants to honor lease payments and our ability to assist the Joint Ventures in re-leasing space on favorable terms as leases expire or space otherwise becomes vacant. In the event of either situation, cash flows and, consequently, our ability to provide funding for capital needs would be adversely affected.

 

Short-Term Liquidity

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, we generated net operating cash flows, including distributions received from the Joint Ventures, of approximately $780,000, as compared to approximately $1,048,500 and $ 1,368,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. During 2004, a portion of such operating cash flows were used to pay operating distributions to limited partners and invest in the Joint Ventures in order to fund the Partnership’s pro-rata portion of leasing costs for the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building, the 360 Interlocken Building, the Gartner Building, and 47320 Kato Road.

 

Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures have declined primarily as a result of (i) absorbing rent abatements for the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building and the 360 Interlocken Building in 2004; (ii) funding leasing costs and capital expenditures at the Alstom Power – Knoxville Building, the 360 Interlocken Building, the Gartner Building, and 47320 Kato Road; and (iii) decline in operating cash flows resulting from the May 2004 lease termination at the 20/20 Building, the September 2003 sale of the Cort Building, and the October 2004 sale of the Johnson Matthey Building. Future operating distributions are expected to remain low or be reserved in order to fund the Partnership’s pro-rata share of: (i) anticipated capital improvements at the 20/20 Building, and (ii) anticipated leasing costs for the Ohmeda Building, the 360 Interlocken Building, the 20/20 Building, and 111 Southchase Boulevard.

 

We believe that the cash on hand and distributions due from the Joint Ventures are sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including liabilities of approximately $23,000 as of December 31, 2004. During 2005, our General Partners anticipate that we will fund its proportionate share of capital expenditures noted above.

 

Long-Term Liquidity

 

We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from operating cash flows generated from the Joint Ventures, and net proceeds generated from the selective and strategic sale of properties. Our future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, renovations, expansions, and other significant capital improvements necessary for properties owned through the Joint Ventures. We expect to continue to use substantially all future net cash flows from operations. Future cash flows from operating activities will be primarily affected by distributions received from the Joint Ventures, which are dependent upon the net operating income generated by the Joint Ventures’ properties, less reserves for known capital expenditures.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Partnership is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating income-producing real properties or investing in joint ventures formed for the same purpose, and has invested all of the partners’ original capital contributions. Thus, it is unlikely that we will acquire interests in any additional properties or joint ventures. Historically, our investment strategy has generally involved acquiring properties that are pre-leased to creditworthy tenants on an all-cash basis through joint ventures with affiliated partnerships.

The Joint Ventures fund capital expenditures primarily related to building improvements for the purpose of maintaining the quality of our properties, and tenant improvements for the purpose of readying its properties for re-leasing. As leases expire, we will work with the Joint Ventures to attempt to re-lease space to an existing tenant or market the space to prospective new tenants. Generally, tenant improvements funded in connection with lease renewals require less capital than those funded in connection with new leases. However, external conditions, such as the supply of and demand for comparable space available within a given market, drive capital costs as well as rental rates. Any capital or other expenditures not provided for by the operations of the Joint Ventures will be funded by the Partnership and the respective Joint Venture partners on a pro rata basis.

 

Operating cash flows, if available, are generally distributed from the Joint Ventures to the Partnership during the first month following each calendar quarter-end. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flow until depleted, at which point operating reserves are utilized to fund capital and other required expenditures. In the event that current and prior period accumulated operating cash flows are insufficient to fund such costs, net property sale proceeds reserves would then be utilized.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had received, used, and held net proceeds from the sale of properties as presented below:

Upon evaluating the capital needs of the existing properties in which we hold interests, our General Partners have decided to hold these net sale proceeds in reserve in order to fund costs anticipated in connection with capital improvements for the 20/20 Building, and re-leasing the Ohmeda Building, the 360 Interlocken Building, 111 Southchase Boulevard, and the 20/20 Building. Thus, no net sale proceeds are being distributed to the limited partners as of December 31, 2004. Our General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $2,300,000 in the second quarter of 2005 as discussed below.

 

(d)   Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

 

In December 2004, the General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $2,300,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to the limited partners of record as of March 31, 2005, which, under the terms of the Partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after December 31, 2004. From total net sale proceeds of approximately $3,845,725, the General Partners intend to distribute approximately $2,300,000 to the limited partners in connection with the aforementioned distribution, and retain the residual balance of approximately $1,545,725 in reserve in order to fund future operating costs of the Partnership.

 

This distribution has not been formally declared by the General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary for the

Table of Contents

Partnership at the sole discretion of the General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution date require the General Partners to reevaluate the Partnership’s reserve requirements, it is possible that this distribution may not occur, or distributions may be made at a lower amount.

 

(e)   Contingencies

 

Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III, our General Partner, Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of our other General Partner, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.

 

As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the “Original Complaint”) was filed by four individuals (the “plaintiffs”) against Wells Real Estate Fund I, and Wells Capital, and Leo F. Wells, III (collectively, “the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I”), as well as Wells Management and Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”) (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Real Estate Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, WIS, and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984 - September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Real Estate Fund I by making false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Real Estate Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

 

On or about November 24, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Real Estate Fund I (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6) (the “Hendry Action”). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things, (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Real Estate Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Real Estate Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

 

Page 20


Table of Contents

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the General Partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their respective duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

 

The Hendry Action states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary defendant and that the plaintiffs are seeking no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. Since the partnership agreement of Wells Real Estate Fund I contains no provision for advancing defense costs to the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I in connection with litigation involving the partnership in instances where the plaintiffs are seeking no monetary relief from the partnership, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, currently Wells Capital, are funding the legal fees, costs, and expenses relating to this litigation. As of December 31, 2004, Wells Capital had incurred approximately $32,000 in legal fees, costs, and expenses related to defending the Hendry Action. At this time, management is unable to determine whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.

 

(f)   Related-Party Transactions

 

Management and Leasing Fees and Administration Reimbursements

 

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital, Wells Management, an affiliate of our General Partners, and their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management and their affiliates for asset management, the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties; administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration; and incur the related expenses. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a description of these fees and expense reimbursements incurred by the Partnership during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Our General Partners are also general partners of other affiliated public limited partnerships (the “Wells Real Estate Funds”). In addition, Wells Capital sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains residual interests. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Partnership with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

 

(g)   Inflation

 

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. However, there are provisions in the majority of tenant leases which would protect the Partnership from the impact of inflation. These provisions include reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax, and insurance reimbursements on a per-square-foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per-square-foot allowance. There is no assurance, however, that we would be able to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rental rates.

 

Page 21


Table of Contents
(h)   Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies used by the Partnership and the Joint Ventures, which are considered to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Investment in Real Estate Assets

 

We will be required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. We will consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. We expect that the estimated useful lives of the Joint Ventures’ assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   10-25 years

Land improvements

   20 years

Tenant improvements

   Lease term

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Ventures completed a review of their real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of their real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Ventures changed their estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $103,674 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice. This change has no impact on the amount of depreciation allocated to the limited partners for federal income tax purposes.

 

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

 

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in the Joint Ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to the fair value and recognizes an impairment loss. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets we held as of December 31, 2004.

 

Projections of expected future cash flows require management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of

 

Page 22


Table of Contents

inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the overstatement of the carrying value of real estate assets held by the Joint Ventures and net income of the Partnership.

 

(i)   Economic Dependency

 

We have engaged Wells Management to supervise the management and leasing of properties owned through the Joint Ventures, and Wells Capital to perform certain administrative services, including accounting, shareholder communications, and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon Wells Management, Wells Capital, and other affiliates thereof to provide certain services that are essential to our operations, including asset management and property management services, asset acquisition and disposition services, and other administrative responsibilities under agreements, some of which have terms of one year or less.

 

Wells Management, Wells Capital, and WIS are owned and controlled by and comprise substantially all of the operations of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). Due to their common ownership and importance to WREF, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF is to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, it may become necessary for the Partnership and/or the Joint Venture to find alternative service providers.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, operating revenues for WREF on a consolidated basis exceeded operating expenses by approximately $5.8 million, and WREF is also expecting revenues to exceed expenses during 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, operating expenses for WREF exceeded operating revenues by $11.6 million. During 2004, WREF incurred net losses primarily due to the fact that revenues from acquisition, advisory, asset management services, and property management services were less than the costs to provide such services. In planning for 2004, WREF anticipated incurring short-term losses and, accordingly, reserved funds adequate to cover such a shortfall. WREF anticipated generating lower revenues in 2004, as compared to 2003, primarily due to the fact that the majority of its revenues are earned as a percentage of gross investment proceeds raised by the sale of securities issued by affiliated investment products. Gross offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“REIT II”), an investment product sponsored by WREF whose offering commenced in December 2003, were anticipated to be significantly less in 2004 than offering proceeds from the sale of shares of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“REIT I”), another investment product sponsored by WREF whose offering closed in December 2003. Consistent with sale of shares of REIT I during the beginning of its offering period, the sale of shares of REIT II was anticipated to remain relatively low during the beginning of its offering period.

 

Additionally, we are dependent upon the ability of our current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as the rents become due. The inability of a tenant to pay future rental amounts would have a negative impact on our results of operations.

 

(j)   Subsequent Events

 

On March 15, 2005, Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates sold the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $12,000,000. As a result of the sale, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1.0 million and recognized a gain of approximately $448,000. The gain recognized from the sale of the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building may be adjusted as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

 

On February 25, 2005, Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Gartner Building, for a gross sales price of approximately $13,700,000, excluding closing costs, to an unrelated third party. The Partnership holds an equity interest of approximately 26% in Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates, which is the sole owner of the Gartner Building. The Partnership expects the closing of this transaction to occur before the end of April 2005. The completion of this transaction is currently subject to, among other things, various conditions and closing requirements. Accordingly, there are no assurances that this sale will be completed.

PART III

 

ITEM 10.    GENERAL PARTNERS OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

 

Wells Partners

 

The sole general partner of Wells Partners, one of our General Partners, is Wells Capital, a Georgia corporation. The executive offices of Wells Capital are located at 6200 The Corners Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092. Wells Capital was organized on April 18, 1984 under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, and is primarily in the business of serving as general partner or as an affiliate to the general partner in affiliated public limited partnerships (“Wells Real Estate Funds”) and as the advisor to the Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REITs”), each a Maryland corporation which qualifies as a real estate investment trust. In these capacities, Wells Capital performs certain services for the Wells Real Estate Funds and the Wells REITs, including presenting, structuring, and acquiring real estate investment opportunities, entering into leases and service contracts on acquired properties, arranging for and completing the disposition of properties, and providing other services such as accounting and administrative functions. Wells Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., of which Leo F. Wells, III is the sole stockholder.

 

Page 24


Table of Contents

Leo F. Wells, III

 

Mr. Wells, 61, who serves as one of our General Partners, is the President, Treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, which is the corporate general partner of our other General Partner. He is also the sole stockholder, President, and sole director of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc., the parent corporation of Wells Capital, Wells Management, WIS, and Wells & Associates, Inc., a real estate brokerage and investment company formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1978, for which Mr. Wells serves as principal broker. He is also the President, Treasurer, and sole director of:

 

    Wells Management, our property manager;

 

    Wells & Associates, Inc.; and

 

    Wells Development Corporation, a company he organized in 1997 to develop real properties.

 

Mr. Wells is the President and a director of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., which are both real estate investment trusts formed under Maryland law.

 

Mr. Wells was a real estate salesman and property manager from 1970 to 1973 for Roy D. Warren & Company, an Atlanta-based real estate company, and he was associated from 1973 to 1976 with Sax Gaskin Real Estate Company. From 1980 to February 1985 he served as Vice President of Hill-Johnson, Inc., a Georgia corporation engaged in the construction business. Mr. Wells holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in economics from the University of Georgia. Mr. Wells is a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA).

 

On August 26, 2003, Mr. Wells and WIS entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the NASD relating to alleged rule violations. The AWC set forth the NASD’s findings that WIS and Mr. Wells had violated conduct rules relating to the provision of noncash compensation of more than $100 to associated persons of NASD member firms in connection with their attendance at the annual educational and due diligence conferences sponsored by WIS in 2001 and 2002. Without admitting or denying the allegations and findings against them, WIS and Mr. Wells consented in the AWC to various findings by the NASD which are summarized in the following paragraph:

 

In 2001 and 2002, WIS sponsored conferences attended by registered representatives who sold its real estate investment products. WIS also paid for certain expenses of guests of the registered representatives who attended the conferences. In 2001, WIS paid the costs of travel to the conference and meals for many of the guests, and paid the costs of playing golf for some of the registered representatives and their guests. WIS later invoiced registered representatives for the cost of golf and for travel expenses of guests, but was not fully reimbursed for such. In 2002, WIS paid for meals for the guests. WIS also conditioned most of the 2001 conference invitations on attainment by the registered representatives of a predetermined sales goal for WIS products. This conduct violated the prohibitions against payment and receipt of non-cash compensation in connection with the sales of these products contained in NASD’s Conduct Rules 2710, 2810, and 3060. In addition, WIS and Mr. Wells failed to adhere to all of the terms of their written undertaking made in March 2001 not to engage in the conduct described above, and thereby engaged in conduct that was inconsistent with high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in violation of NASD Conduct Rule 2110.

 

WIS consented to a censure and Mr. Wells consented to suspension from acting in a principal capacity with an NASD member firm for one year. WIS and Mr. Wells also agreed to the imposition of a joint and several fine in the amount of $150,000. Mr. Wells’ one-year suspension from acting in a principal capacity ended on October 6, 2004. Mr. Wells continues to engage in selling efforts and other nonprincipal activities on behalf of WIS.

Table of Contents

On or about November 24, 2004, a putative class action complaint, the Hendry Action, was filed by four individuals against Wells Capital and Mr. Wells, the general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, Wells Real Estate Fund I, Wells Management, and WIS, an affiliate of the General Partners. See Part I, Item 7 for additional information regarding the Hendry Action.

 

Financial Oversight Committee

 

The Partnership does not have a board of directors or an audit committee. Accordingly, as the corporate general partner of one of the General Partners of the Partnership, Wells Capital has established a Financial Oversight Committee consisting of Leo F. Wells, III, as the Principal Executive Officer; Douglas P. Williams, as the Principal Financial Officer; and Randall D. Fretz, as the Chief of Staff, of Wells Capital. The Financial Oversight Committee serves the equivalent function of an audit committee for, among others, the following purposes: appointment, compensation, review and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accountant, and establishing and enforcing the code of ethics. However, since the Partnership and General Partners do not have an audit committee and the Financial Oversight Committee is not independent of the Partnership or the General Partners, the Partnership does not have an “audit committee financial expert.”

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Financial Oversight Committee has adopted a code of ethics applicable to Wells Capital’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as well as the principal accounting officer, controller or other employees of Wells Capital performing similar functions on behalf of the Partnership, if any. You may obtain a copy of this code of ethics, without charge, upon request by calling our Client Services Department at 800-557-4830 or 770-243-8282.

 

ITEM 11.    COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership has not made payments directly to the General Partners. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for a description of the fees incurred by the Partnership payable to affiliates of the General Partners during the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

ITEM 12.    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

 

No limited partner owns beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding units of the Partnership.

 

Set forth below is the security ownership of management as of February 28, 2005.

 

Title of Class


 

Name of

Table of Contents

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

The compensation and fees we pay to the General Partners and their affiliates in connection with our operations are as follows:

 

Interest in Partnership Cash Flow and Net Sale Proceeds

 

The General Partners will receive a subordinated participation in net cash flow from operations equal to 10% of net cash flow after the limited partners holding Class A Units have received preferential distributions equal to 10% of their adjusted capital accounts in each fiscal year. The General Partners will also receive a subordinated participation in net sales proceeds and net financing proceeds equal to 20% of residual proceeds available for distribution after limited partners holding Class A Units have received a return of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 10% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions and limited partners holding Class B Units have received a return of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 15% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions; provided, however, that in no event shall the General Partners receive in the aggregate in excess of 15% of net sales proceeds and net financing proceeds remaining after payments to limited partners from such proceeds of amounts equal to the sum of their adjusted capital contributions plus a 6% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. The General Partners did not receive any distributions of net cash flow from operations or net sales proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Property Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Management, an affiliate of the General Partners, receives compensation for asset management and the management and leasing of our properties owned through joint ventures equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 2.5% for management services and 2% for leasing services (aggregate maximum of 4.5%), plus a separate competitive 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), the maximum property management fee from such leases shall be 1% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the leases except for a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original lease term. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income of joint ventures in the accompanying statement of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint Ventures was $51,266, $70,009, and $75,321 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

Real Estate Commissions

 

In connection with the sale of our 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. During 2004, no real estate commissions were paid to the General Partners or their affiliates.

Preapproval Policies and Procedures

 

The Financial Oversight Committee preapproves all auditing and permissible nonauditing services provided by our independent registered public accountants. The approval may be given as part of the Financial Oversight Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent registered public accountants or on an individual basis. The preapproval of certain audit-related services and certain nonauditing services not exceeding enumerated dollar limits may be delegated to one or more of the Financial Oversight Committee’s members, but the member to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the full Financial Oversight Committee. Our independent registered public accountants may not be retained to perform the nonauditing services specified in Section 10A(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accountants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2004, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) served as our independent registered public accountants and provided certain tax and other services. Ernst & Young has served as our independent registered public accountants since July 3, 2002. The aggregate fees billed to the Partnership for professional accounting services, including the audit of the Partnership’s annual financial statements by Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, are set forth in the table below.

  (1) A portion of the Audit Fees is allocated to the Joint Ventures in which the Patnership invests.

 

For purposes of the preceding table, the professional fees are classified as follows:

 

    Audit Fees – These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filings, services that are normally provided by independent registered public accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and services that generally independent registered public accountants reasonably can provide, such as statutory audits, attest services, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

 

    Audit-Related Fees – These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent registered public accountants, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions, internal control reviews, attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

 

    Tax Fees – These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in our independent registered public accountant’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Tax compliance involves preparation of any federal, state or local tax returns. Tax planning and tax advice encompass a diverse range of services, including assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets, and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.

 

    All Other Fees – These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories, including assistance with internal audit plans and risk assessments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002

 

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. (“Wells Partners”), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership, serving as its general partners (collectively, the “General Partners”). Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”) serves as the corporate general partner of Wells Partners. Wells Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the sole owner of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. The Partnership was formed on June 20, 1996 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income producing commercial properties for investment purposes. Upon subscription, limited partners elected to have their units treat their units as Class A Units or Class B Units. The limited partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of their units treated as Class A Units or Class B Units one time during each annual 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; and (c) add or remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the above-described matters will bind the Partnership without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.

 

On December 31, 1997, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $35,000,000 of Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 125,000 units on March 3, 1998. The offering was terminated on December 30, 1998, at which time the Partnership had sold approximately 1,302,942 and 350,338 units to 1,250 and 95 Class A and Class B Limited Partners, respectively, for total limited partner Capital Contributions of $16,532,802.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Page F-8


Table of Contents

Investment in Joint Ventures

 

Each of the aforementioned properties was acquired on an all-cash basis. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Approval of the Partnership as well as the other joint venture partners is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Ventures, or their real property investments. Accordingly, the Partnership’s investments in the Joint Ventures are recorded using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for contributions, distributions, and net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements, all income and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations are generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Ventures completed a review of their real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of their real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Ventures changed their estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $103,674 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives for the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximate fair value, and consist of investments in money market accounts.

 

Distributions of Net Cash from Operations

 

Net cash from operations, if available, is generally distributed to limited partners on a quarterly basis. In accordance with the partnership agreement, such distributions are paid first to limited partners holding Class A Units until the limited partners have received a 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined. Then, such distributions are paid to the General Partners until they have received 10% of the total amount distributed to date. Any remaining cash from operations is split 90% to the limited partners holding Class A Units and 10% to the General Partners. No cash distributions will be made to the limited partners holding Class B Units.

 

Distribution of Sales Proceeds

 

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

 

    In the event that the particular property sold is sold for a price that is less than its original property purchase price, to the limited partners holding Class A Units until the limited partners have received an amount equal to the excess of the original property purchase price over the price for which the property was sold, limited to the amount of depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions taken by the limited partners holding Class B Units with respect to such property;

 

    To limited partners holding units which at any time have been treated as Class B Units until the limited partners have received an amount necessary to equal the net cash available for distribution by the limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis;

 

    To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received 100% of their respective net capital contributions, as defined;

 

Page F-9


Table of Contents
    To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received a cumulative 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined;

 

    To limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their respective preferential limited partner 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 Class A Units and a 15% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Class B 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; and

 

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

 

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

 

For purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreement, net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery and the gain on the sale of assets. Net Income, as defined, of the Partnership will be allocated each year in the same proportion that net cash from operations is distributed to the partners holding Class A Units and the General 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 Class A Units and 1% to the General Partners.

 

Net loss, depreciation, and amortization deductions for each fiscal year will be allocated as follows: (a) 99% to the limited partners holding 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 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 Class B Units in amounts equal to the deductions for depreciation and amortization 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.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners are required to include their respective shares of profits and losses in their individual income tax returns.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Due from Joint Ventures

 

Due from Joint Ventures at December 31, 2004 and 2003 represents the Partnership’s share of the operating cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively, as follows:

 

     2004

   2003

Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates

     0      151,800
    

  

     $ 87,017    $ 252,452
    

  

 

(b)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

The Partnership entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties, the Joint Ventures pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 2.5% of the gross revenues for management and 2% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate maximum of 4.5%), plus a separate competitive 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), the maximum property management fee from such leases shall be 1% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the leases except for a one-time initial leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenues on each lease payable over the first five full years of the original lease term. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income of joint ventures in the accompanying statement of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint Ventures are $51,266, $70,009, and $75,321 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

 

(c)   Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of Wells Partners, one of our General Partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of management, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership reimbursed $64,555, $41,802, and $43,979, respectively, to Wells Capital and Wells Management for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, overpayments to Wells Capital for administrative reimbursements of $2,254 and $0 are recorded as due from affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements due to Wells Management of $2,330 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(d)   Conflicts of Interest

 

Our General Partners are also general partners of other affiliated public limited partnerships (the “Wells Real Estate Funds”). In addition, Wells Capital sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains residual interests. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Partnership with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

  (2)   Effective July 1, 2004, the Joint Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life for all building assets from 25 years to 40 years, which resulted in an increase to net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $263,964 and $206,612 for Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates and for Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates, respectively. Management believes that this change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of real estate assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

5.   PER UNIT AMOUNTS

 

Income (loss) per limited partnership unit amounts are calculated based upon weighted average units outstanding during the respective periods. Income (loss) per limited partnership unit, as presented in the accompanying financial statements, will vary from the per unit amounts attributable to the individual investors due to the differences between the GAAP and tax basis treatment of certain items of income and expense and the fact that, within the respective classes of Class A Units and Class B Units, individual units have different characteristics including capital bases, cumulative operating and net property sales proceeds distributions and cumulative earnings allocations as a result of, among other things, the ability of unit holders to elect to be treated as Class A Units or Class B Units, or to change their prime elections, on a quarterly basis.

9.   AMERICAN JOBS CREATION ACT OF 2004

 

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) added Section 470 to the Internal Revenue Code, which provides certain limitations on the utilization of losses allocable to leased property owned by a partnership having both taxable and tax-exempt partners such as the Partnership. Currently, it is unclear as to how the transition rules and effective dates set forth in the Act will apply to entities such as the Partnership. However, on March 11, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service issued IRS Notice 2005-29 announcing that the IRS will not apply Section 470 to partnerships for taxable year 2004 based solely on the fact that a partnership had both taxable and tax-exempt partners. It is important to note that IRS Notice 2005-29 provides relief for partnerships for taxable year 2004 only. Accordingly, unless Congress passes corrective legislation which addresses this issue or some other form of relief from the provisions of Section 470 of the Act is granted, based on a strict reading of the Act, future passive losses allocable to Class B limited partners may only be used to offset passive income generated from the same property or within the same fund.

 

10.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III, our General Partner, Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of our other General Partner, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.

 

As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the “Original Complaint”) was filed by four individuals (the “plaintiffs”) against Wells Real Estate Fund I, and Wells Capital, and Leo F. Wells, III (collectively, “the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I”), as well as Wells Management and Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”) (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Real Estate Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the General

 

Page F-18


Table of Contents

Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, WIS, and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984—September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Real Estate Fund I by making false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal, equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Real Estate Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and (d) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

 

On or about November 24, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the “Complaint”) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Real Estate Fund I (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6) (the “Hendry Action”). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things, (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Real Estate Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Wells Real Estate Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition, the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees.

 

The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the following: judgment against the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the General Partners directly or through their affiliates; a declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Management’s deferred management fees; and an award to plaintiffs of their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. The Court has not yet ruled on those motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However, an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their respective duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.

 

The Hendry Action states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary defendant and that the plaintiffs are seeking no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. Since the partnership agreement of Wells Real Estate Fund I contains no provision for advancing defense costs to the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I in connection with litigation involving the partnership in instances where the plaintiffs are seeking no monetary relief from the partnership, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, currently Wells Capital, are funding the legal fees, costs, and expenses relating to this litigation. As of December 31, 2004, Wells Capital had incurred approximately $32,000 in legal fees, costs, and expenses related to defending the Hendry Action. At this time, management is unable to determine whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

 

In December 2004, the General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $2,300,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to the limited partners of record as of March 31, 2005, which, under the terms of the Partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after December 31, 2004. Approximately $3,800,000 net property sale proceeds were held by the Partnership as of December 31, 2004, of which the General Partners intend to distribute approximately $2,300,000 to the limited partners in connection with the aforementioned distribution and retain the residual balance of approximately $1,500,000 in reserve in order to fund future operating costs of the Partnership.

 

This distribution has not been formally declared by the General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary for the Partnership at the sole discretion of the General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution date require the General Partners to reevaluate the Partnership’s reserve requirements, it is possible that this distribution may not occur, or that distributions may be made at a lower amount.

 

11.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On February 25, 2005, Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Gartner Building, for a gross sales price of approximately $13,700,000, excluding closing costs, to an unrelated third party. The Partnership holds an equity interest of approximately 26% in Fund XI-XII-REIT Associates, which is the sole owner of the Gartner Building. The Partnership expects the closing of this transaction to occur before the end of April 2005. The completion of this transaction is currently subject to, among other things, various conditions and closing requirements. Accordingly, there are no assurances that this sale will be completed.

 

On March 15, 2005, Fund IX-X-XI-REIT Associates sold the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $12,000,000. As a result of the sale, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1.0 million and recognized a gain of approximately $448,000. The gain recognized from the sale of the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building may be adjusted as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

The Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI and REIT Joint Venture:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI and REIT Joint Venture as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI and REIT Joint Venture at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

THE FUND IX, FUND X, FUND XI AND REIT JOINT VENTURE

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002

 

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

In March 1997, Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. entered into a joint venture agreement with Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. to form Fund IX and Fund X Associates (“Fund IX-X Associates”) for the purpose of acquiring, developing, operating, and selling real properties. On March 20, 1997, Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. contributed a 5.62-acre tract of real property in Knoxville, Tennessee, and improvements thereon to Fund IX-X Associates on which an 84,404 square foot, three-story office building, the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building, was constructed and commenced operations. On February 13, 1998, Fund IX-X Associates purchased a 106,750 square foot, two-story office building, the Ohmeda Building, in Louisville, Colorado. On March 20, 1998, Fund IX-X Associates purchased a 51,974 square foot, three-story office building, the 360 Interlocken Building, in Broomfield, Colorado. On June 11, 1998, Fund IX-X Associates was amended and restated as The Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI and REIT Joint Venture (the “Joint Venture”) upon admitting Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. and Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”). On June 24, 1998, the Joint Venture purchased a 57,186 square foot, one-story office building, the Avaya Building, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. On April 1, 1998, Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. purchased a 108,250 square foot, one-story office and warehouse building, the Iomega Building, in Ogden, Utah. On July 1, 1998, Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. contributed the Iomega Building to the Joint Venture. Ownership interests were recomputed based on the relative cumulative capital contributions from the joint venture partners.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rental revenues collected in advance are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

 

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” (“SFAS 66”). Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

 

Page F-26


Table of Contents

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   10-25 years

Land improvements

   20 years

Tenant Improvements

   Lease term

 

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets held for investment may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to fair value and recognizes the corresponding impairment loss. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of its real estate assets during the periods presented. Upon becoming designated as held for sale, real estate assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation for such assets ceases.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Venture completed a review of its real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of its real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Venture changed its estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Venture extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $264,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are comprised of tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables. Management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. Allowances of $975 and $0 are included in accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Other Assets, net

 

Other assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 is comprised of the following items:

 

     2004

   2003

Deferred leasing costs, net

   $ 776,208    $ 241,893

Prepaid property insurance

     11,972      0

Refundable security deposits

     97,887      97,692
    

  

Total

   $ 886,067    $ 339,585
    

  

 

Page F-27


Table of Contents

Deferred leasing costs reflect costs incurred to procure operating leases, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs, include amortization of $386,886 and $331,697 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Refundable security deposits represent cash deposits received from tenants, the offset to which is included in accounts payable and refundable security deposits in the accompanying balance sheets. Pursuant to the respective leases, the Joint Venture may apply such balances towards unpaid receivable related balances or property damages, where applicable, or is obligated to refund only residual balances to the tenants upon the expiration of the lease term.

 

Allocation of Income and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based on their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. For the periods presented, Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P., and Wells OP held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 39%, 48%, 9%, and 4% respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture on a quarterly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P., and Wells OP are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

(b)   Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates perform certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among these entities based on the amount of time spent on the respective entities by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture reimbursed $90,107, $106,652, and $86,630, respectively, to Wells Management and its affiliates for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements of $5,748 and $0 are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(c)   Conflicts of Interests

 

The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P., and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Wells Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the general partners of the joint venture partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

 

4.   RENTAL INCOME

Five tenants contributed 26%, 26%, 19%, 15%, and 14% of rental income for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, five tenants will contribute 65%, 10%, 10%, 8%, and 2% of future minimum rental income. The lease for the sole tenant of the Ohmeda Building, Ohmeda, Inc., will expire April 30, 2005. Accordingly, no such future rental income has been included above for the Ohmeda Building following April 2005.

 

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On March 15, 2005, the Joint Venture sold the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building to an unrelated third party for a gross sale price of $12,000,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture received net sale proceeds of approximately $11.7 million and recognized a gain of approximately $5.1 million. The gain recognized from the sale of the Alstom Power-Knoxville Building may be adjusted as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

Fund X and Fund XI Associates:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Fund X and Fund XI Associates as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fund X and Fund XI Associates at December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004 (unaudited), 2003, and 2002

 

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

On July 15, 1998, Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P., entered into a joint venture agreement to create Fund X and Fund XI Associates (the “Joint Venture”). The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a private Georgia limited partnership. The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, and selling real properties.

 

In July 1998, Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”) entered into a joint venture agreement with Wells Development Corporation, referred to as Wells/Fremont Associates, which acquired a 58,424 square foot two-story manufacturing and office buildings, 47320 Kato Road, located in Fremont, California. During 1998, the Joint Venture acquired Wells Development Corporation’s interest in Wells/Fremont Associates, which resulted in the Joint Venture becoming a joint venture partner with Wells OP.

 

In July 1998, Wells OP entered into a joint venture agreement with Wells Development Corporation, referred to as Wells/Orange County Associates, which acquired a 52,000 square foot warehouse and office building, the Cort Building, located in Fountain Valley, California. During 1998, the Joint Venture acquired Wells Development Corporation’s interest in Wells/Orange County Associates, which resulted in the Joint Venture becoming a joint venture partner with Wells OP. On September 11, 2003, Wells/Orange County Associates sold the Cort Building to an unrelated third party for a gross selling price of $5,770,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture recognized a loss of approximately $213,000 and received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,134,000.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment in Joint Ventures

 

The Joint Venture does not have control over the operations of its investments in the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investments in the joint ventures are recorded using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for contributions, distributions and net income (loss) attributable to the Joint Venture. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements, all income and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations are distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, Wells/Fremont Associates completed a review of its real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of its real estate assets. As a result of this review, Wells/Fremont Associates changed its estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, Wells/Fremont Associates extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $62,984 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Page F-37


Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market accounts.

 

Allocation of Income and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based upon their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. For the periods presented, Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 58% and 42%, respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Due from affiliates

 

Due from affiliates at December 31, 2004 and 2003 represents the Joint Ventures’s share of operating cash to be distributed from the Wells/Fremont Associates and Wells/Orange County Associates for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively:

 

     2004

   2003

 

Wells/Fremont Associates

   $ 37,568      49,388  

Wells/Orange County Associates

     0      (5,377 )
    

  


     $ 37,568    $ 44,011  
    

  


 

(b)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of its General Partners. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties owned through Wells/Fremont Associates and Wells/Orange County Associates, these joint ventures pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, 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.

 

Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management, an affiliate of its General Partners. In consideration for asset management and the management and

 

Page F-38


Table of Contents

leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties owned through Wells/Fremont Associates and Wells/Orange County Associates, these joint ventures pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 2.5% management services and 2% for leasing services, plus a separate competitive 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), 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.

 

As the Joint Venture is owned by limited partnerships with separate management agreements (and fee structures), management and leasing fees, the properties owned by Wells/Fremont Associates and Wells/Orange County Associates pay a management and leasing fee equal to 4% of gross revenues. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Joint Venture indirectly reimbursed through its equity in income of joint ventures $8,571, $21,051, and $26,920 to Wells Management, and its affiliates for these services.

 

(c)   Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates performs certain administrative services for the Joint Venture’s properties owned through Wells/Fremont Associates and Wells/Orange County Associates, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incurs the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among the various Wells Real Estate Funds based on estimates of the amount of time dedicated to each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of management, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture indirectly reimbursed through its equity in income of joint ventures $3,271, $19,548, and $17,411 to Wells Management, and its affiliates for these services.

 

(d)   Conflicts of Interest

 

The General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Well Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the “REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

  (1)   Includes a loss of $378,657 recognized on the sale of the Cort Building, of which approximately $213,000 is attributable to the Joint Venture pursuant to the provisions of the joint venture agreement (Note 2).

 

  (2)   Effective July 1, 2004, Wells/Fremont Associates extended the weighted-average composite useful life for all building assets from 25 years to 40 years, which resulted in an increase to net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 of approximately $62,984. Management believes that this change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of real estate assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The General Partners of

The Wells Fund XI-Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Wells Fund XI-Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Wells Fund XI-Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

THE WELLS FUND XI - FUND XII - REIT JOINT VENTURE

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002

 

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

On May 1, 1999, Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P and Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”) entered into a joint venture known as The Wells Fund XI-Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture (the “Joint Venture”). The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a private Georgia limited partnership. Wells OP is a Delaware limited partnership with Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Wells REIT”) serving as its general partner. Wells REIT is a Maryland corporation that qualifies as a real estate investment trust.

 

On May 18, 1999, the Joint Venture purchased a 169,510-square foot, two-story manufacturing and office building, known as 111 Southchase Boulevard (formerly known as the “EYBL CarTex Building”), located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. On July 21, 1999, the Joint Venture purchased a 68,900-square foot, three-story office building, known as the 20/20 Building, located in Leawood, Kansas. On August 17, 1999, the Joint Venture purchased a 130,000 square foot office and warehouse building, known as the Johnson Matthey Building, located in Wayne, Pennsylvania. On September 20, 1999, the Joint Venture purchased a 62,400 square foot, two-story office building, known as the Gartner Building, located in Fort Myers, Florida.

 

On October 5, 2004, the Joint Venture sold the Johnson Matthey Building to an unrelated third party for a gross selling price of $10,000,000. As a result of the sale, the Joint Venture recognized a gain of approximately $2,418,610 and received net sale proceeds of approximately $9,675,000.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rental revenues collected in advance are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

 

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” (“SFAS 66”). Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

Table of Contents

Real Estate Assets

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

The estimated useful lives of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets by class are provided below:

 

Buildings

  

40 years

    

Building improvements

  

10-25 years

    

Land improvements

  

20 years

    

Tenant Improvements

  

Lease term

    

 

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets held for investment may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, management assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to fair value and recognizes the corresponding impairment loss. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of its real estate assets during the periods presented. Upon becoming designated as held for sale, real estate assets are adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, and depreciation for such assets ceases.

 

In the third quarter of 2004, the Joint Venture completed a review of its real estate depreciation by performing an analysis of the components of each property type in an effort to determine weighted-average composite useful lives of its real estate assets. As a result of this review, the Joint Venture changed its estimate of the weighted-average composite useful lives for all building assets. Effective July 1, 2004, for all building assets, the Joint Venture extended the weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years. The change resulted in an increase to net income of approximately $206,612 for the year ended December 31, 2004. We believe the change more appropriately reflects the estimated useful lives of the building assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Joint Venture considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are comprised of tenant receivables and straight-line rent receivables. Management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. No such allowances have been recorded as of December 31, 2004 or 2003.

 

Prepaids and Other Assets, net

 

Prepaids and other assets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 are comprised of the following items:

 

     2004

       2003    

Deferred leasing costs, net

   $ 156,327    $ 0

Prepaid property insurance

     7,268      0
    

  

Total

   $ 163,595    $ 0
    

  

 

Page F-47


Table of Contents

Deferred leasing costs reflect costs incurred to procure operating leases, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred leasing costs are presented net of accumulated amortization of $5,015 and $0 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Allocation of Income and Distributions

 

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. For the periods presented, Wells Fund XI, Wells Fund XII, and Wells OP held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 26%, 17%, and 57%, respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Fund XI, Wells Fund XII and Wells OP are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

3.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

(a)   Management and Leasing Fees

 

Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the general partners. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture pays Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 2.5% for management services and 2% for leasing services, plus a separate competitive 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 (aggregate maximum of 6%) or (b) 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.

 

Wells OP entered into an asset/property management agreement with Wells Management. In consideration for asset management and the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture pays Wells Management property management, leasing and asset management fees equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the lease or (b) 0.6% of Net Asset Value calculated on an annual basis.

 

Management and leasing fees are recognized in accordance with the terms of the aforementioned agreements, weighted based on joint venture partners respective ownership interests in the Joint Venture. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fee expenses of $104,267, $143,259, and $150,788.

 

(b)   Administration Reimbursements

 

Wells Management and its affiliates perform certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other Joint Venture administration, and incur the related expenses. Such

 

Page F-48


Table of Contents

expenses are allocated among these entities based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Joint Venture reimbursed $54,181, $95,508, and $67,300, respectively, to Wells Management and its affiliates for these services. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, administrative reimbursements of $3,450 and $0 are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets, respectively.

 

(c)   Conflicts of Interest

 

The general partners of Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P., Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P., and Wells OP are also general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds. In addition, Wells Capital, Inc. sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the REITs”) in which it retains a residual interest. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the general partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with the Joint Venture with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.

 

4.   DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

The Joint Venture sold the Johnson Matthey Building on October 5, 2004. The results of operations of the Johnson Matthey Building, which are included as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations, are presented below:
