INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Wells Core Office Income REIT, Inc.

Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the Westway One Building (the “Building”) for the year ended December 31, 2009. This statement is the responsibility of the Building’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Building’s revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues over certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of the Building for the year ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Statements of Revenues Over Certain Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2009 (audited)

and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited)

1. Description of Real Estate Property Acquired

On January 27, 2011, the Registrant, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired fee-simple interests in one three-story office building known as the Westway One Building (the “Building”). The Building contains 144,000 rentable square feet and is located on approximately 9.0 acres in Houston, Texas. The Building was acquired from Behringer Harvard Equity Drive, LP. (the “Seller”). Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $31.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Registrant is a Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States. The Registrant was incorporated on July 3, 2007 and intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.

2. Basis of Accounting

The accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired. Accordingly, the statements exclude certain historical expenses that are not comparable to the proposed future operations of the property such as certain ancillary income, amortization, depreciation, interest, and corporate expenses. Therefore, the statement will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the Building after its acquisition by the Registrant.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenues

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rental income recognized over the amounts due pursuant to the lease terms is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The adjustment to straight-line rent receivable increased rental revenue by approximately $156,919 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and approximately $118,154 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Use of Estimates

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

4. Description of Leasing Arrangements

The Westway One Building is currently 100% leased to four tenants, including NATCO Group, Inc. (“NATCO”), a division of Cameron Corp. NATCO occupies approximately 67.2% of the Building’s rentable square footage under a long-term lease agreement. NATCO contributed approximately 70.0% of the rental income for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 69.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Under the terms of the NATCO lease, the tenant is required to reimburse to the landlord all operating expenses. The remaining rentable square footage is leased to various office tenants under lease agreements with terms that vary in length. All of the tenants, excluding NATCO , have the right to extend the term of their lease for one additional five-year renewal period at 95% of the then-current market rate. NATCO’s extension option includes two five-year renewal periods at 95% of the then-current market rate.

5. Future Minimum Rental Commitments

At December 31, 2009, future minimum rental commitments for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

 

2010

   $ 2,574,076   

2011

     2,574,076   

2012

     2,574,076   

2013

     2,772,870   

2014

     2,780,659   

Thereafter

     6,708,916   
        
   $ 19,984,673   
        

6. Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statement for the interim period have been included. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

7. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events related to the Building have been evaluated through March 3, 2011, which is the date the Statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events, if any, requiring recognition as of December 31, 2009 have been incorporated into this statement.

Summary of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements

 

This pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Registrant included in its quarterly report filed on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, this pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of certain acquired properties included in this current report.

The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisitions of the Royal Ridge V Building, the 333 Building, and the Westway One Building as if the acquisitions occurred on September 30, 2010. Other adjustments provided in the following unaudited pro forma balance sheet are comprised of certain pro forma financing-related activities, including, but not limited to, capital raised through the issuance of additional common stock through the acquisition date of the Westway One Building and pay-down of acquisition-related debt subsequent to the pro forma balance sheet date.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisitions of the Royal Ridge V Building, the 333 Building, and the Westway One Building as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2010. The Registrant has omitted an unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 because, as of December 31, 2009, the Registrant had not commenced operations.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements are prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future results or of actual results that would have been achieved had the Royal Ridge V Building, the 333 Building, and the Westway One Building been consummated as of January 1, 2010. In addition, the pro forma balance sheet includes pro forma allocations of the purchase price based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the acquisitions of the Royal Ridge V Building, the 333 Building, and the Westway One Building. These allocations may be adjusted in the future upon finalization of these preliminary estimates.

(a) Historical financial information is derived from the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010.
(b) Reflects the purchase price of the assets obtained by the Registrant in connection with the respective acquisition, net of any purchase price adjustments.
(c) Represents cash used to fund purchase of the assets obtained by the Registrant in connection with the respective acquisition.

(e) Reflects pay down of acquisition-related borrowings using capital raised described in note (d) above.
(f) Represents earnest money on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 applied to the purchase at closing.
(g) On October 7, 2010, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant entered into an $11.1 million mortgage loan (the “Royal Ridge V Loan”) with an unaffiliated lender. The Royal Ridge V Loan initially bears interest at an annual rate of 4.00% until December 31, 2010. Thereafter, the interest rate adjusts so that the rate is 3.00% over the three-month LIBOR rate and the annual interest rate is never less than 4.00%. The Royal Ridge V Loan matures on November 1, 2012.
(h) On November 19, 2010, the Registrant entered into a $70 million credit facility with Regions Bank (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on and is payable in full on November 19, 2012, which may be extended to November 19, 2013 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Registrant may borrow under the Credit Facility at rates equal to (1) LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%) plus the applicable LIBOR Margin (the “LIBOR Rate”) or (2) the greater of (a) the prime rate announced by Regions Bank, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% or (c) the 30-day LIBOR (adjusted daily) plus 1.0%, plus the applicable base rate margin (the “Base Rate”). The applicable LIBOR margin may vary from 3.0% to 4.0% and the applicable base rate margin may vary from 2.0% to 3.0% based on our then current leverage ratio. All swingline loans issued under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the Base Rate.
(i) On October 5, 2010, the Registrant entered into a $10.0 million secured revolving bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) with its affiliate, Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. The Bridge Loan is scheduled to mature on April 5, 2011 and bears interest at a rate based on, at the option of the Registrant, LIBOR for the 7-day, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, or 6-month periods, plus a margin of 2.50%, or the base rate plus 1.50%.
(j) Represents real estate tax liability assumed at acquisition.

(a) Historical financial information is derived from the Registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010.

(c) Consists of operating cost reimbursements from tenants as defined by the respective leases. The Royal Ridge lease is a gross lease with a 2010 base year. 333 and Westway One Buildings are a net lease full service structure which dictates that 100% of all operating expenses are reimbursed by the tenants.
(d) Consists of property operating expenses, primarily made up of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance and support services.
(e) Asset management fees are calculated as 0.75% of the cost of the acquisitions on an annual basis.
(f) Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method based on the purchase price allocated to building over a 40-year life; tenant improvements over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life, and site improvements over a 15-year life.
(g) Amortization of deferred leasing costs and lease intangibles is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the respective leases.
(h) Represents additional interest expense that would have been incurred if the balance of the Bridge Loan had an average outstanding balance of $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, calculated using an interest rate of approximately 2.78%, which is calculated using an average LIBOR rate of 0.28% plus an applicable margin of 250 bps.
(i) Represents additional interest expense that would have been incurred if the $11.1 million outstanding related to the for Royal Ridge V Loan had been entered into as of January 1, 2010 calculated using an interest rate of approximately 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
(j) Represents additional interest expense that would have been incurred if the balance for the Credit Facility had an average outstanding balance of $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, calculated using an interest rate of approximately 4.28%, which is calculated using an average LIBOR rate of 0.28% plus an applicable margin of 400 bps.
