When we refer to the "prospectus" in this supplement, we are also referring to any and all supplements to the prospectus. Unless otherwise defined in this supplement, capitalized terms used in this supplement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the prospectus. The purpose of this supplement is to describe the following: (1) Status of the offering of shares in Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (Wells REIT); (2) Declaration of dividends for the second quarter of 2002; (3) Revisions to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of the prospectus; (4) Updated audited financial statements of the Wells REIT, and unaudited Schedule III-Real Estate Investments and Accumulated Depreciation; and (5) Updated prior performance tables. Status of the Offering We commenced our initial public offering of common stock on January 30, 1998. Our initial public offering was terminated on December 19, 1999. We received approximately $132,181,919 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of 13,218,192 shares in our initial public offering. We commenced our second offering of common stock on December 20, 1999. Our second public offering was terminated on December 19, 2000. We received approximately $175,229,193 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of 17,522,919 shares in our second public offering. Pursuant to the prospectus, we commenced our third offering of common stock on December 20, 2000. As of March 25, 2002, we had received an additional $771,748,412 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of 77,174,841 shares in the third offering. Accordingly, as of March 25, 2002, we had received in the aggregate approximately $1,079,159,524 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of 107,915,952 shares of our common stock. Dividends On March 6, 2002, our board of directors declared dividends for the second quarter of 2002 in the amount of $0.19375 per share, or a 7.75% annualized percentage return on an investment of $10.00 per share, payable to our stockholders on a daily record basis. Below is a table reflecting the level of dividends declared and paid to date: 1

The following discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. Forward Looking Statements This section and other sections in the prospectus contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Wells REIT, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete certain projects, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to stockholders in the future and certain other matters. Readers of this prospectus should be aware that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus, which include changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate conditions, construction costs which may exceed estimates, construction delays, increases in interest rates, 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. We have made an election under Section 856 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) to be taxed as a REIT under the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1999. As a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we generally will not be subject to Federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify 2

for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is lost. Such an event could materially, adversely affect our net income. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in a manner, which has enabled us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes during the year ended December 31, 2001. In addition, we intend to continue to operate the Wells REIT so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Liquidity and Capital Resources General During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, we received aggregate gross offering proceeds of $522,516,620 from the sale of 52,251,662 shares of our common stock. After payment of $18,143,307 in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses, payment of $58,387,809 in selling commissions and organization and offering expenses, and common stock redemptions of $4,137,427 pursuant to our share redemption program, we raised net offering proceeds available for investment in properties of $441,848,077 during 2001. As of December 31, 2001, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $837,614,690 from the sale of 83,761,469 shares of our common stock to 84,002 investors. After payment of $29,122,286 in acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses, payment of $98,125,735 in selling commissions and organization and offering expenses, capital contributions to joint ventures and acquisitions expenditures by Wells OP of $642,106,041 in property acquisitions, and common stock redemptions of $5,550,396 pursuant to our share redemption program, we held net offering proceeds of $62,711,000 available for investment in properties, as of December 31, 2001. As of March 25, 2002, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $1,079,159,524 from the sale of 107,915,952 shares of our common stock to 27,809 investors. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents during 2001, as compared to 2000, is primarily the result of raising $522,516,620 in capital contributions from the sale of 52,251,662 shares of common stock, offset by the acquisition of nine properties during 2001, and the payment of acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses, commissions, organization and offering costs and capital contributions to joint ventures. As of December 31, 2001, we owned interests in 39 real estate properties either directly or through interests in joint ventures. These properties are generating operating cash flow sufficient to cover our operating expenses and pay dividends to our stockholders. We pay dividends on a quarterly basis regardless of the frequency with which such distributions are declared. Dividends will be paid to investors who are stockholders as of the record dates selected by our board of directors. We currently calculate quarterly dividends based on the daily record and dividend declaration dates; thus, stockholders are entitled to receive dividends immediately upon the purchase of shares. Dividends declared during 2001 and 2000 totaled $.76 per share and $.73 per share, respectively. Although we can make no assurance, we anticipate that dividend distributions to stockholders will continue in 2002 at a level at least comparable with 2001 dividend distributions. Dividends to be distributed to the stockholders are determined by our board of directors and are dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements in order to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties are added to our investment portfolio. 3

Cash Flows From Operating Activities Our net cash provided by operating activities was $42,349,342 for 2001, $7,319,639 for 2000 and $4,008,275 for 1999. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the net income generated by properties acquired during 2000 and 2001. Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities Our net cash used in investing activities was $274,605,735 for 2001, $249,316,460 for 2000 and $105,394,956 for 1999. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was due primarily to investments in properties, directly and through contributions to joint ventures, and the payment of related deferred project costs. Cash Flows From Financing Activities Our net cash provided by financing activities was $303,544,260 for 2001, $243,365,318 for 2000, and $96,337,082 for 1999. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to the raising of additional capital offset by the repayment of notes payable. We raised $522,516,620 in offering proceeds for fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $180,387,220 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and $103,169,490 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. In addition, we received loan proceeds from financing secured by properties of $110,243,145 and repaid notes payable in the amount of $229,781,888 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Results of Operations As of December 31, 2001, our real estate properties were 100% leased to tenants. Gross revenues were $49,308,802 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, $23,373,206 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 and $6,495,395 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. Gross revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were attributable to rental income, interest income earned on funds we held prior to the investment in properties, and income earned from joint ventures. The increase in revenues in 2001 was primarily attributable to the purchase of additional properties during 2000 and 2001. The purchase of additional properties also resulted in an increase in expenses which totaled $27,584,835 for the year ended December 31, 2001, $14,820,239 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and $2,610,746 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Expenses in 2001, 2000 and 1999 consisted primarily of depreciation, interest expense and management and leasing fees. Our net income also increased from $3,884,649 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 to $8,552,967 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 to $21,723,967 for the year ended December 31, 2001. 4

The Arthur Andersen Building is leased to Arthur Andersen LLP (Andersen). The current term of the Andersen lease is 10 years, which commenced on November 11, 1998 and expires on October 31, 2009. Andersen has the right to extend the initial 10-year term of its lease for two additional five-year periods at 90% of the ten-current market rental rate. The current annual base rent payable under the Andersen lease is $1,988,454. Andersen has the option to purchase the Arthur Andersen Building prior to the end of the fifth lease year for $23,250,000 and again at the expiration of the initial lease term for $25,148,000. On March 6, 2002, our board of directors declared dividends for the second quarter of 2002 in the amount of $0.19375 per share, or a 7.75% annualized percentage return on an investment of $10.00 per share, payable to our stockholders on a daily record basis. Funds from Operations Funds from Operations (FFO), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), generally means net income, computed in accordance with GAAP excluding extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP) and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT. However, our calculation of FFO, while consistent with NAREIT's definition, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) is defined as FFO adjusted to exclude the effects of straight-line rent adjustments, deferred loan cost amortization and other non-cash and/or unusual items. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash 5

generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The following table reflects the calculation of FFO and AFFO for the three years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively: December 31, December 31, December 31, 2001 2000 1999 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: Net income $ 21,723,967 $ 8,552,967 $ 3,884,649 Add: Depreciation of real assets 15,344,801 7,743,550 1,726,103 Amortization of deferred leasing costs 303,347 350,991 0 Depreciation and amortization - unconsolidated partnerships 3,211,828 852,968 652,167 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Funds from operations (FFO) 40,583,943 17,500,476 6,262,919 Adjustments: Loan cost amortization 770,192 232,559 8,921 Straight line rent (2,754,877) (1,650,791) (847,814) Straight line rent - unconsolidated partnerships (543,039) (245,288) (140,076) Lease acquisition fees paid 0 (152,500) 0 Lease acquisition fees paid- unconsolidated partnerships 0 (8,002) (512) ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Adjusted funds from operations $ 38,056,219 $ 15,676,454 $ 5,283,438 ================ ================ ================ WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES: BASIC AND DILUTED 51,081,867 21,616,051 7,769,298 ================ ================ ================ 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 us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include reimbursement billings for common area maintenance charges (CAM), 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. Critical Accounting Policies Our accounting policies have been established and conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (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 our 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 our financial statements. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. 6

Straight-Lined Rental Revenues We recognize rental income generated from all leases on real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. If a tenant was to encounter financial difficulties in future periods, the amount recorded as a receivable may not be realized. Operating Cost Reimbursements We generally bill tenants for operating cost reimbursements, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, on a monthly basis at amounts estimated largely based on actual prior period activity and the respective lease terms. Such billings are generally adjusted on an annual basis to reflect reimbursements owed to the landlord based on the actual costs incurred during the period and the respective lease terms. Financial difficulties encountered by tenants may result in receivables not being realized. Real Estate We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the potential impairment by comparing the fair market value of the asset, estimated at an amount equal to the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated from tenants over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition, to the carrying value of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair market value, we would recognize an impairment loss in the amount required to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair market value. Neither the Wells REIT nor our joint ventures have recognized impairment losses on real estate assets in 2001, 2000 or 1999. Deferred Project Costs Wells Capital, Inc., our advisor, expects to continue to fund 100% of the acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses and recognize related expenses, to the extent that such costs exceed 3.5% of cumulative capital raised (subject to certain overall limitations described in this prospectus) on our behalf. We record acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses by capitalizing deferred project costs and reimbursing our advisor in an amount equal to 3.5% of cumulative capital raised to date. As we invest our capital proceeds, deferred project costs are applied to real estate assets, either directly or through contributions to joint ventures, at an amount equal to 3.5% of each investment and depreciated over the useful lives of the respective real estate assets. Deferred Offering Costs Our advisor expects to continue to fund 100% of the organization and offering costs and recognize related expenses, to the extent that such costs exceed 3% of cumulative capital raised, on our behalf. Organization and offering costs include items such as legal and accounting fees, marketing and promotional costs, and printing costs, and specifically exclude sales costs and underwriting commissions. We record offering costs by accruing deferred offering costs, with an offsetting liability included in due to affiliates, at an amount equal to the lesser of 3% of cumulative capital raised to date or actual costs incurred from third-parties less reimbursements paid to our advisor. As the actual equity is raised, we reverse the deferred offering costs accrual and recognize a charge to stockholders' equity upon reimbursing our advisor. 7

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wells Real Estate investment trust, inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company'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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule III--Real Estate Investments and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 2001 is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.

WELLS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000, AND 1999 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation that qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company is conducting an offering for the sale of a maximum of 125,000,000 (exclusive of 10,000,000 shares available pursuant to the Company's dividend reinvestment program) shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, at a price of $10 per share. The Company will seek to acquire and operate commercial properties, including, but not limited to, office buildings, shopping centers, business and industrial parks, and other commercial and industrial properties, including properties which are under construction, are newly constructed, or have been constructed and have operating histories. All such properties may be acquired, developed, and operated by the Company alone or jointly with another party. The Company is likely to enter into one or more joint ventures with affiliated entities for the acquisition of properties.

Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Company The preparation of the 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 assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The carrying values of real estate are based on management's current intent to hold the real estate assets as long-term investments. The success of the Company's future operations and the ability to realize the investment in its assets will be dependent on the Company's ability to maintain rental rates, occupancy, and an appropriate level of 16

operating expenses in future years. Management believes that the steps it is taking will enable the Company to realize its investment in its assets. Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to currently distribute at least 90% of the REIT's ordinary taxable income to shareholders. It is management's current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on distributed taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and real estate assets, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as the Company made distributions equal to or in excess of its taxable income in each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Real Estate Assets Real estate assets held by the Company and joint ventures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements and betterments are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the related asset. All repair and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances which could indicate that carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable. When events or changes in circumstances are present which indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of real estate assets by determining whether the carrying value of such real estate assets will be recovered through the future cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held by the Company or the joint ventures as of December 31, 2001 and 2000. Depreciation of building and improvements is calculated using the straight-line method over 25 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the life of the related lease or the life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Revenue Recognition All leases on real estate assets held by the Company or the joint ventures are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company 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. Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs Costs incurred to procure operating leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is identical for basic and fully diluted earnings per share, as there is no dilutive impact created from the Company's stock option plan (Note 10) using the treasury stock method. 17

Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year financial statement presentation. Investment in Joint Ventures Basis of Presentation The Operating Partnership does not have control over the operations of the joint ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership's investments in joint ventures are recorded using the equity method of accounting. Partners' Distributions and Allocations of Profit and Loss Cash available for distribution and allocations of profit and loss to the Operating Partnership by the joint ventures are made in accordance with the terms of the individual joint venture agreements. Generally, these items are allocated in proportion to the partners' respective ownership interests. Cash is paid from the joint ventures to the Operating Partnership on a quarterly basis. Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs Costs incurred to procure operating leases are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred lease acquisition costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net, in the balance sheets presented in Note 5. 2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS The Company paid a percentage of shareholder contributions to the Advisor for acquisition and advisory services and acquisition expenses. These payments, as stipulated in the prospectus, can be up to 3.5% of shareholder contributions, subject to certain overall limitations contained in the prospectus. Aggregate fees paid through December 31, 2001 were $29,122,286 and amounted to 3.5% of shareholders' contributions received. These fees are allocated to specific properties as they are purchased or developed and are included in capitalized assets of the joint ventures or real estate assets. Deferred project costs at December 31, 2001 and 2000 represent fees not yet applied to properties. 3. DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS Offering expenses, to the extent they exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds, will be paid by the Advisor and not by the Company. Offering expenses include such costs as legal and accounting fees, printing costs, and other offering expenses and specifically exclude sales costs and underwriting commissions. As of December 31, 2001, the Advisor paid offering expenses on behalf of the Company in the aggregate amount of $20,459,289, of which the Advisor had been reimbursed $18,551,241, which did not exceed the 3% limitation. 18

("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the Advisor. In consideration for supervising the management and leasing of the Operating Partnership's properties, the Operating Partnership will pay management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of (a) 4.5% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the lease or (b) .6% of the net asset value of the properties (excluding vacant properties) owned by the Company to Wells Management. These management and leasing fees are calculated on an annual basis plus a separate competitive fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties generally paid in conjunction with the receipt of the first month's rent. The Operating Partnership's portion of the management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs paid to Wells Management, both directly and at the joint venture level, were $2,468,294, $1,111,748, and $336,517 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Advisor performs certain administrative services for the Operating Partnership, such as accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among the Operating Partnership and the various Wells Real Estate Funds based on time spent on each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of management, such allocation is a reasonable basis for allocating such expenses. The Advisor is a general partner in various Wells Real Estate Funds. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest where the Advisor, while serving in the capacity as general partner for Wells Real Estate Funds, may be in competition with the Operating Partnership for tenants in similar geographic markets. 19

INVESTMENT IN BONDS AND OBLIGATION UNDER CAPITAL LEASE On September 27, 2001, the Operating Partnership acquired a ground leasehold interest in the Ingram Micro Distribution Facility pursuant to a Bond Real Property Lease dated December 20, 1995 (the "Bond Lease"). The ground leasehold interest under the Bond Lease, along with the Bond and Bond Deed of Trust described below, were purchased from Ingram Micro, L.P. ("Ingram") in a sale lease-back transaction for a purchase price of $21,050,000. The Bond Lease expires on December 31, 2026. At closing, the Operating Partnership also entered into a new lease with Ingram pursuant to which Ingram agreed to lease the entire Ingram Micro Distribution Facility for a lease term of 10 years with two successive 10-year renewal options. In connection with the original development of the Ingram Micro Distribution Facility, the Industrial Development Board of the City of Milington, Tennessee (the "Industrial Development Board") issued an Industrial Development Revenue Note dated December 20, 1995 in the principal amount of $22,000,000 (the "Bond") to Lease Plan North America, Inc. (the "Original Bond Holder"). The proceeds from the issuance of the Bond were utilized to finance the construction of the Ingram Micro Distribution Facility. The Bond is secured by a Fee Construction Mortgage Deed of Trust Assignment of Rents and Leases also dated December 20, 1995 (the "Bond Deed of Trust") executed by the Industrial Development Board for the benefit of the Original Bond Holder. Beginning in 2006, the holder of the Bond Lease has the option to purchase the land underlying the Ingram Micro Distribution Facility for $100.00 plus satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced by the Bond which, as set forth below, was acquired and is currently held by the Operating Partnership. On December 20, 2000, Ingram purchased the Bond and the Bond Deed of Trust from the Original Bond Holder. On September 27, 2001, along with purchasing the Ingram Micro Distribution Facility through its acquisition of the ground leasehold interest under the Bond Lease, the Operating Partnership also acquired the Bond and the Bond 44

Deed of Trust from Ingram. Because the Operating Partnership is technically subject to the obligation to pay the $22,000,000 indebtedness evidenced by the Bond, the obligation to pay the Bond is carried on the Company's books as a liability; however, since Operating Partnership is also the owner of the Bond, the Bond is also carried on the Company's books as an asset. 9. NOTES PAYABLE As of December 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership's notes payable included the following: Note payable to Bank of America, interest at 5.9%, interest payable monthly, due July 30, 2003, collateralized by the Nissan property $ 468,844 Note payable to SouthTrust Bank, interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, principal and interest payable monthly, due June 10, 2002; collateralized by the Operating Partnership's interests in the Cinemark Building, the Dial Building, the ASML Building, the Motorola Tempe Building, the Avnet Building, the Matsushita Building, and the PwC Building 7,655,600 ----------- Total $ 8,124,444 =========== The contractual maturities of the Operating Partnership's notes payable are as follows as of December 31, 2001: 2002 $7,655,600 2003 468,844 ---------- Total $8,124,444 ========== 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Take Out Purchase and Escrow Agreement An affiliate of the Advisor ("Wells Exchange") has developed a program (the "Wells Section 1031 Program") involving the acquisition by Wells Exchange of income-producing commercial properties and the formation of a series of single member limited liability companies for the purpose of facilitating the resale of co-tenancy interests in such real estate properties to be owned in co-tenancy arrangements with persons ("1031 Participants") who are looking to invest the proceeds from a sale of real estate held for investment in another real estate investment for purposes of qualifying for like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Code. Each of these properties will be financed by a combination of permanent first mortgage financing and interim loan financing obtained from institutional lenders. Following the acquisition of each property, Wells Exchange will attempt to sell co-tenancy interests to 1031 Participants, the proceeds of which will be used to pay off the interim financing. In consideration for the payment of a take out fee to the Company, and following approval of the potential property acquisition by the Company's board of directors, it is anticipated that Wells OP will enter into a take out purchase and escrow agreement or similar contract providing that, in the event that Wells Exchange is unable to sell all of the co-tenancy interest in that particular property to 1031 Participants, the Operating Partnership will purchase, at Wells Exchange's cost, any co-tenancy interests remaining unsold at the end of the offering period. As a part of the initial transaction in the Wells Section 1031 Program, and in consideration for the payment of a take out fee in the amount of $137,500 to the Company, Wells OP entered into a take out purchase and escrow agreement dated April 16, 2001 providing that, among other things, Wells OP is obligated to acquire, at Wells Exchange's cost ($839,694 in cash plus $832,060 of assumed debt for each 7.63358% interest of co-tenancy interest unsold), any co-tenancy interest in the building known as the Ford Motor Credit Complex which remains unsold at the expiration of the offering of Wells Exchange, which has been extended to April 15, 2002, which is also the maturity date of the interim loan relating to such property. The Ford Motor Credit Complex consists of two connecting office buildings containing 167,438 rentable square feet located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, currently under a triple-net lease with Ford Motor Credit Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. 45

The obligations of Wells OP under the take out purchase and escrow agreement are secured by reserving against a portion of Wells OP's existing line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. (the "Interim Lender"). If, for any reason, Wells OP fails to acquire any of the co-tenancy interest in the Ford Motor Credit Complex which remains unsold as of April 15, 2002, or there is otherwise an uncured default under the interim loan or the line of credit documents, the Interim Lender is authorized to draw down Wells OP's line of credit in the amount necessary to pay the outstanding balance of the interim loan in full, in which event the appropriate amount of co-tenancy interest in the Ford Motor Credit Complex would be deeded to Wells OP. Wells OP's maximum economic exposure in the transaction is $21,900,000, in which event Wells OP would acquire the Ford Motor Credit Complex for $11,000,000 in cash plus assumption of the first mortgage financing in the amount of $10,900,000. If some, but not all, of the co-tenancy interests are sold, Wells OP's exposure would be less, and it would own an interest in the property in co-tenancy with the 1031 Participants who had previously acquired co-tenancy interests in the Ford Motor Credit Complex from Wells Exchange. Development of the Nissan Property The Operating Partnership has entered into an agreement with an independent third-party general contractor for the purpose of designing and constructing a three-story office building containing 268,290 rentable square feet on the Nissan Property. The construction agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will pay the contractor a maximum of $25,326,017 for the design and construction of the building. Construction commenced on January 25, 2002 and is scheduled to be completed within 20 months. General Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is not aware of any significant litigation or claims against the Company, the Operating Partnership, or the Advisor. In the normal course of business, the Company, the Operating Partnership, or the Advisor may become subject to such litigation or claims. 46

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock Option Plan The Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Independent Director Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") provides for grants of stock to be made to independent nonemployee directors of the Company. Options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at $12 per share are granted upon initially becoming an independent director of the Company. Of these shares, 20% are exercisable immediately on the date of grant. An additional 20% of these shares become exercisable on each anniversary following the date of grant for a period of four years. Effective on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, beginning in 2000, each independent director will be granted an option to purchase 1,000 additional shares of common stock. These options vest at the rate of 500 shares per full year of service thereafter. All options granted under the Plan expire no later than the date immediately following the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and may expire sooner in the event of the disability or death of the optionee or if the optionee ceases to serve as a director. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and the related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation cost. A summary of the Company's stock option activity during 2001 and 2000 is as follows: Exercise Number Price -------- --------- Outstanding at December 31, 1999 17,500 $12 Granted 7,000 12 ------- Outstanding at December 31, 2000 24,500 12 Granted 7,000 12 ------- Outstanding at December 31, 2001 31,500 12 ======= Outstanding options exercisable as of December 31, 2001 10,500 12 ======= For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each stock option for 2001 and 2000 has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the minimum value method. The weighted average risk-free interest rates assumed for 2001 and 2000 were 5.05% and 6.45%, respectively. Dividend yields of 7.8% and 7.3% were assumed for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The expected life of an option was assumed to be six years and four years for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Based on these assumptions, the fair value of the options granted during 2001 and 2000 is $0. Treasury Stock During 1999, the Company's board of directors authorized a dividend reinvestment program (the "DRP"), through which common shareholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the dividends declared on their common shares into additional shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of receiving cash dividends. During 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase plan subject to the amount reinvested in the Company's common shares through the DRP, less shares already redeemed, and a limitation in the amount of 3% of the average common shares outstanding during the preceding year. During 2001 and 2000, the Company repurchased 413,743 and 141,297 of its own common shares at an aggregate cost of $4,137,427 and $1,412,969, respectively. These transactions were funded with cash on hand and did not exceed either of the foregoing limitations. 47

PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES The following Prior Performance Tables (Tables) provide information relating to real estate investment programs sponsored by Wells Capital, Inc., our advisor, and its affiliates (Wells Public Programs) which have investment objectives similar to Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.

Prospective investors should read these Tables carefully together with the summary information concerning the Wells Public Programs as set forth in the "Prior Performance Summary" section of this prospectus. Investors in the Wells REIT will not own any interest in the other Wells Public Programs and should not assume that they will experience returns, if any, comparable to those experienced by investors in other Wells Public Programs. The advisor is responsible for the acquisition, operation, maintenance and resale of the real estate properties. The financial results of the Wells Public Programs, thus, may provide some indication of the advisor's performance of its obligations during the periods covered.

Copies of any or all information will be provided to prospective investors at no charge upon request. The following are definitions of certain terms used in the Tables: "Acquisition Fees" shall mean fees and commissions paid by a Wells Public Program in connection with its purchase or development of a property, except development fees paid to a person not affiliated with the Wells Public Program or with a general partner or advisor of the Wells Public Program in connection with the actual development of a project after acquisition of the land by the Wells Public Program. "Organization Expenses" shall include legal fees, accounting fees, securities filing fees, printing and reproduction expenses and fees paid to the sponsor in connection with the planning and formation of the Wells Public Program.
