Report of Independent Auditors

 

Shareholders and Board of Directors

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the Bank of America Orange County Building for the year ended December 31, 2002. This statement is the responsibility of the Bank of America Orange County Building’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. 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 and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Bank of America Orange County 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 and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of the Bank of America Orange County Building for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Statements of Revenues Over Certain Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2002

and the nine months ended September 30, 2003 (unaudited)

 

1. Description of Real Estate Property Acquired

 

On December 18, 2003, Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”), through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired the Bank of America Orange County Building, a 3-story office building containing approximately 638,000 square feet located in Brea, California, from PIC Realty Corporation. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $94 million. Wells OP is a Delaware limited partnership formed to acquire, own, lease, operate, and manage real properties on behalf of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation. As the sole general partner of Wells OP, Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells OP.

 

2. Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses are 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 statements will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the Bank of America Orange County Building after its acquisition by Wells OP.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Rental Revenues

 

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The excess of rental income recognized over the amounts due pursuant to the lease term is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The adjustment to straight-line rent receivable increased revenue by approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and decreased revenue by approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

 

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 Bank of America Orange County Building is 100% leased to Bank of America NA (“Bank of America”) under a net lease (“Bank of America Lease”). Under the Bank of America Lease, Bank of America is required to pay directly to service provider, governmental agency and/or vendor all costs and expenses attributable to the premises including, but not limited to, all real estate taxes, special and general assessments, insurance premiums, utilities and maintenance and repair costs.

6. Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 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.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the 1901 Market Street Philadelphia Building for the year ended December 31, 2002. This statement is the responsibility of the 1901 Market Street Philadelphia Building’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses.

The accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the 1901 Market Street Philadelphia 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 and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of the 1901 Market Street Philadelphia Building for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $174 million. Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Wells REIT”), a Maryland corporation, is the sponsor and beneficial owner of Wells 1901 Market Business Trust. As the sponsor and beneficial owner, Wells REIT possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells 1901 Market Business Trust.

 

2. Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses are 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 statements will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the 1901 Market Street Philadelphia Building after its acquisition by Wells 1901 Market Business Trust.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Rental Revenues

 

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The excess of rental income recognized over the amounts due pursuant to the lease term is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The adjustment to straight-line rent receivable increased revenue by approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

 

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 1901 Market Street Philadelphia Building is 100% leased to Independence Blue Cross under a net lease (“Independence Blue Cross Lease”). Under the Independence Blue Cross Lease, Independence Blue Cross is required to pay directly to service provider, governmental agency and/or vendor all costs and expenses attributable to the premises including, but not limited to, all real estate taxes, special and general assessments, insurance premiums, utilities and maintenance and repair costs.
