(b) Deferred Project Costs The Company pays a percentage of shareholder contributions to the Advisor for acquisition and advisory services. These payments, are stipulated in the prospectus. These payments may not exceed 3 1/2% of shareholders' capital contributions. Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses paid as of March 31, 2001, amounted to $13,267,914 and represented approximately 3 1/2% of shareholders' capital contributions received. These fees are allocated to specific properties as they are purchased or developed and are included in capitalized assets of the joint venture, or real estate assets. Deferred project costs at March 31, 2001 and December 21, 2000, represent fees not yet applied to properties. -8-

(c) Deferred Offering Costs Offering expenses, to the extent that they exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds, will be paid by the Advisor and not by the Company. Offering expenses do not include sales or underwriting commissions but do include such costs as legal and accounting fees, printing costs, and other offering expenses. As of March 31, 2001, the Advisor paid offering expenses on behalf of the Company in an aggregate amount of $11,372,498, which did not exceed the 3% limitation. (d) Employees The Company has no direct employees. The employees of the Advisor, perform a full range of real estate services including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management and investor relations for the Company. (e) Insurance Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the Company and the Advisor, carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to all the properties owned directly and indirectly by the Company. In the opinion of management, the properties are adequately insured. (f) Competition The Company will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers of competing projects, which may include its affiliates. As a result, the Company may be required to provide free rent, reduced charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on results of operations. At the time the Company elects to dispose of its properties, the Company will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its properties. (g) Basis of Presentation Substantially all of the Company's business will be conducted through Wells OP. On December 31, 1997, Wells OP issued 20,000 limited partner units to the Advisor in exchange for a capital contribution of $200,000. The Company is the sole general partner in Wells OP; consequently, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company includes the amounts of the Company and Wells OP. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These quarterly statements have not been examined by independent accountants, but in the opinion of the Board of Directors, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. (h) Distribution Policy The Company will make distributions each taxable year (not including a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) equal to at least 90% of its real estate investment trusts taxable income. The Company intends to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of the shares. Distributions will be made to those shareholders who are shareholders as of the record date selected by the Directors. -9-

Distributions will be declared on a monthly basis and paid on a quarterly basis during the offering period and declared and paid quarterly thereafter. No distributions are paid to the Advisor. (i) Income Taxes The Company has made an election under Section 856 (C) of the Internal Revenue Code 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998. As a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will then be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash available to distribute to shareholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intends to continue to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that the Company will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. (j) Statement of Cash Flows For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. 2. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES The Company owned interests in 29 properties through its ownership in Wells OP, which owns interests in six joint ventures. The Company does not have control over the operations of these joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, investment in joint venture is recorded using the equity method. 3. NOTES PAYABLE Notes payable consists of loans of (i) $50,440,000 due to SouthTrust Bank secured by a first mortgage against the Cinemark, ASML, Dial, PWC, Motorola, Avnet and Alstom Power Buildings, (ii) $8,000,000 due to Richter- Schroeder Company, Inc. secured by a first mortgage against the Metris Building, and (iii) $18,100,000 due to Guarantee Federal secured by a first mortgage on the Stone and Webster Building. 4. DUE TO AFFILIATES Due to affiliates consists of amounts due to the Advisor for Acquisitions and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses, deferred offering costs, and other operating expenses paid on behalf of the Company. Also included in due to affiliates is the amount due to the Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture related to the Matsushita lease guarantee, which is explained in detail in the December 31, 2000 Form 10-K. Payments of $601,963 have been made as of March 31, 2000 toward funding the obligation under the Matsushita agreement. -10-

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of the Company and notes thereto. This report contains 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, including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Company, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete certain projects, and certain other matters. Readers of this report should be aware that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this report, which include construction costs which may exceed estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company began active operations on June 5, 1998, when it received and accepted subscriptions for 125,000 shares pursuant to its initial public offering, which commenced on January 30, 1998. The Company terminated its initial public offering on December 19, 1999, and on December 20, 1999, the Company commenced a follow-on public offering of up to 22,200,000 shares of common stock at $10 per share. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had raised an aggregate of $134,710,850 in offering proceeds through the sale of 13,471,085 shares. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had paid $4,714,880 in Acquisition Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses, $16,838,857 in selling commissions and organizational offering expenses, and $112,287,969 in capital contributions to Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Wells OP"), the operating partnership of the Company, for investments in joint ventures and acquisitions of real properties. Between December 31, 1999, and March 31, 2001, the Company raised an additional $246,561,924 in offering proceeds through the sale of an additional 24,656,192 shares. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2001, the Company had raised a total of $381,272,774 in offering proceeds through the sale of 38,127,278 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had paid a total of $13,267,914 in Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Acquisition Expenses, had paid a total of $47,385,406 in selling commissions and organizational offering expenses, had made capital contributions of $313,889,969 to Wells OP for investments in joint ventures and acquisitions of real property, had utilized $776,555 for the retirement of stock pursuant to the Company's share redemption program, and was holding net offering proceeds of $5,952,930 available for investment and additional properties. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $8,156,316 and $4,259,855, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from raising additional capital, which was offset by new investments in real property acquisitions. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to the Company's investment portfolio. Dividends to be distributed to the shareholders are determined by the Board of Directors and are dependent upon a number of factors relating to the Company, including funds available for payment of dividends, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements in order to maintain the Company's status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. -11-

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had acquired interests in 29 real estate properties. These properties are generating sufficient cash flows to cover the operating expenses of the Company and pay quarterly dividends. Dividends declared for the first quarter of 2001 and the first quarter of 2000 totaled $0.188 and $0.175, respectively, per share, which were declared on a daily record date basis to the shareholders of record at the close of business of each day during the quarter. Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $8,235,314 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $1,027,693 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from additional rental revenues and income in equity of joint ventures generated from the properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $65,622,070 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $4,264,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 primarily due to acquiring less properties during the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.
