The city was incorporated in June 1951, but has experienced most of its growth since 1960. The city's expansion has been forced to the north, due to the physical restrictions imposed on the west, south, and east by the city limits of Phoenix, Tempe, and the Salt River Indian Reservation, respectively. Scottsdale is a vibrant city with a national and international reputation. Further contributing to Scottsdale's growth is its popularity as a destination stop for tourists. Over 6 million people per year visit Scottsdale and provide an economic impact of over $2 billion annually. Tempe is the fifth largest city in Arizona and has developed from a small college town and bedroom community into a thriving city with a strong diversified economy. It is home to Arizona State University, the fourth largest university in the nation. Known for its highly educated populace, Tempe is a sophisticated city and a center for learning, culture and technology. Tempe has developed a multifaceted economic base, including 750 manufacturing firms with more than 32,000 employees that produce electronics, semiconductors, computers and computer software. MircroAge, Avnet and America West Airlines all have their corporate headquarters in Tempe. The Dial Building Purchase of the Dial Building. On March 29, 2000, Wells OP purchased a two story - ----------------------------- office building with approximately 129,689 rentable square feet located at 15501 N.

This value estimate was based upon a number of assumptions, including that the Dial Building will continue operating at a stabilized level with Dial Corporation (Dial) occupying 100% of the rentable area, and is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the fair market value of the property or the net proceeds which would result from an immediate sale of this property. Wells OP also obtained an environmental report and an engineering inspection report prior to the closing evidencing that the condition of this land and the Dial Building were satisfactory. The Dial Lease. The entire 129,689 rentable square feet of the Dial Building is - -------------- currently under a net lease agreement with Dial.

Under the Dial lease, Dial is required to pay as additional monthly rent its electricity costs and all operating costs, including, but not limited to, garbage and waste disposal, janitorial service, security, insurance premiums, all taxes, assessments and other governmental levies and such other operating costs with respect to the Dial Building.

WELLS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998 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 40,000,000 (exclusive of 2,200,000 shares available pursuant to the Company's dividend reinvestment plan) 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. In connection with this, the Company may enter into joint ventures for the acquisition of properties with prior or future real estate limited partnership programs sponsored by Wells Capital, Inc. (the "Advisor") or its affiliates. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership. During 1997, the Operating Partnership issued 20,000 limited partner units to the Advisor in exchange for $200,000. The Company is the sole general partner in the Operating Partnership and possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of the Operating Partnership; consequently, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the amounts of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns the following properties directly: (i) the PriceWaterhouseCoopers property (the "PwC Building"), a four-story office building located in Tampa, Florida; (ii) the AT&T Building, a four-story office building located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; (iii) the Marconi Data Systems property (the "Marconi Building"), a two-story office building located in Wood Dale, Illinois; and (iv) the Cinemark Building, a five- story office building located in Plano, Texas. The Company also owns interests in several properties through a joint venture among the Operating Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. ("Wells Fund IX"), Wells Real Estate Fund X, L.P. ("Wells Fund X"), and Wells Real Estate Fund XI, L.P. ("Wells Fund XI"). This joint venture is referred to as the Fund IX, Fund X, Fund XI, and REIT Joint Venture ("Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture"). In addition, the Company owns an interest in several properties through a joint venture between Wells Fund XI, Wells Real Estate Fund XII, L.P. ("Wells Fund XII"), and the Operating Partnership, which is referred to as Wells Fund XI, XII and REIT Joint Venture. The Company owns two properties through a joint venture between the Operating Partnership and Fund X and XI Associates, a joint venture between Wells Fund X and Wells Fund XI. 17

Through its investment in the Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture, the Company owns interests in the following properties: (i) a three-story office building in Knoxville, Tennessee (the "ABB Building"), (ii) a two- story office building in Louisville, Colorado (the "Ohmeda Building"), (iii) a three-story office building in Broomfield, Colorado (the "360 Interlocken Building"), (iv) a one-story warehouse facility in Ogden, Utah (the "Iomega Building"), and (v) a one-story office building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the "Lucent Technologies Building"). The following properties are owned by the Company through its investment in a joint venture with Fund X and XI Associates: (i) a one-story office and warehouse building in Fountain Valley, California (the "Cort Furniture Building") owned by Wells/Orange County Associates and (ii) a warehouse and office building in Fremont, California (the "Fairchild Building") owned by Wells/Fremont Associates. Through its investment in the Wells Fund XI, XII, and REIT Joint Venture, the Company owns interests in the following properties: (i) a two-story manufacturing and office building in Greenville County, South Carolina (the "EYBL CarTex Building"), (ii) a three-story office building Leawood, Kansas (the "Sprint Building"), (iii) an office and warehouse building in Chester County, Pennsylvania (the "Johnson Matthey Building"), and (iv) a two-story office building in Ft. Myers, Florida (the "Gartner Building"). Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the Company The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 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 (the "Code"), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 1998. As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies certain other requirements. Additionally, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. 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 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 18

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, 1999. 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. 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 investment in the joint ventures is 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. 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. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is 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. 2. DEFERRED PROJECT COSTS The Company paid a percentage of shareholder contributions to the Advisor for acquisition and advisory services. 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 19

through December 31, 1999 were $4,714,880 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, 1999 and 1998 represent fees not yet applied to properties. 3. DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS Organization and offering expenses, to the extent they exceed 3% of gross offering proceeds, will be paid by the Advisor and not by the Company. Organization and 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 December 31, 1999, the Advisor paid organization and offering expenses on behalf of the Company in the aggregate amount of $5,005,262, of which the Advisor was reimbursed $4,040,321, which did not exceed the 5% limitation. The unpaid portion of deferred offering costs is $964,941 and is included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet. 4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Due from affiliates at December 31, 1999 represents the Operating Partnership's share of the cash to be distributed from its joint venture investments for the fourth quarter of 1999 and 1998 as follows: 1999 1998 --------- --------- Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture $ 32,079 $ 38,360 Wells/Orange County Associates 75,953 77,123 Wells/Fremont Associates 152,681 146,862 Fund XI, XII, and REIT 387,641 0 --------- --------- $ 648,354 $ 262,345 ========= ========= The Company entered into a property management agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. ("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 Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to the lesser of (a) fees that would be paid to a comparable outside firm, or (b) 4.5% of the gross revenues generally paid over the life of the lease 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. In the case of commercial properties which are leased on a long-term (ten or more years) net lease basis, 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. The Operating Partnership's portion of the management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs paid to Wells Management by the joint ventures was $336,517 for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 20

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. 5. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES The Operating Partnership's investment and percentage ownership in joint ventures at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are summarized as follows: 1999 1998 ------------------------- -------------------------- Amount Percent Amount Percent ------------ ------- ------------- ------- Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture $ 1,388,884 4% $ 1,443,378 4% Wells/Orange County Associates 2,893,112 44 2,958,617 44 Wells/Fremont Associates 6,988,210 78 7,166,682 78 Fund XI, XII, and REIT Joint Venture 18,160,970 57 0 0 ------------ ------------ $ 29,431,176 $ 11,568,677 ============ ============ The following is a rollforward of the Operating Partnership's investment in joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998: 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- Investment in joint ventures, beginning of year $11,568,677 $ 0 Equity in income of joint ventures 1,243,969 263,315 Contributions to joint ventures 18,376,267 11,745,890 Distributions from joint ventures (1,757,737) (440,528) ----------- ----------- Investment in joint ventures, end of year $29,431,176 $11,568,677 =========== =========== Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture On March 20, 1997, Wells Fund IX and Wells Fund X entered into a joint venture agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the DIAL BUILDING for the year ended December 31, 1999. This financial statement is the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. These 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. As described in Note 2, this financial statement excludes certain expenses that would not be comparable with those resulting from the operations of the Dial Building after acquisition by the Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (on behalf of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.). 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 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Dial Building's revenues and expenses. In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues over certain operating expenses of the Dial Building for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

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

All of the Wells Public Programs, except for the Wells REIT, have used substantial amounts of capital, and no acquisition indebtedness, to acquire their properties. 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 the 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 provide an indication of the advisor's performance of its obligations during the periods covered.

The following tables are included in this Supplement to the Prospectus: Table I - Experience in Raising and Investing Funds (As a Percentage of Investment) Table II - Compensation to Sponsor (in Dollars) Table III - Annual Operating Results of Wells Public Programs Table IV (Results of completed programs) and Table V (sales or disposals of property) have been omitted since none of the Wells Public Programs have sold any of their properties to date.

As described above, no Wells Public Program has sold or disposed of any property held by it. 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.
