Item 2. Acquisition of Assets

 

Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building

 

On April 30, 2003, Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP”), a Delaware limited partnership formed to acquire, own, lease and operate real properties on behalf of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (“Registrant”), purchased a three-story office building containing approximately 410,000 rentable square feet located on an approximately 27-acre tract of land at 111 Sylvan Avenue in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (the “Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building”) for a purchase price of $70.5 million. The Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building was purchased from US Fund Sylvan Avenue, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership not in any way affiliated with the Registrant, Wells OP or Wells Capital, Inc. (the “Advisor”). In order to finance the acquisition of the Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building, Wells OP obtained $49,958,125 in loan proceeds by drawing down on its existing line of credit with SouthTrust Bank, N.A.

 

The Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building, which was originally built in 1953 and renovated in 1998, is leased under a net lease (i.e., operating costs and maintenance costs are paid by the tenant) entirely to Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citicorp North America”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp, Inc. (“Citicorp”). Citicorp, the guarantor of the Citicorp North America lease, is a financial services holding company whose four main business segments include consumer financial services, corporate and institutional financial services, investment management services, and private investment services. Citicorp provides its services in approximately 100 countries worldwide.

 

Since the Citicorp Englewood Cliffs, NJ Building is leased to a single tenant on a long-term basis under a net lease that transfers substantially all of the operating costs to the tenant, we believe that financial information about the guarantor of the lease, Citicorp, is more relevant to investors than financial statements of the property acquired.

 

Citicorp currently files its financial statements in reports filed with the SEC, and the following summary financial data regarding Citicorp is taken from its previously filed public reports:

In connection with the spin-off, shareholders of U.S. Bancorp will receive a stock dividend of the shares in US Bancorp Piper Jaffray, as a result of which US Bancorp Piper Jaffray will become an independent company and will no longer be a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp. U.S. Bancorp will remain as a guarantor of the US Bancorp Piper Jaffray lease after the spin-off.

 

The US Bancorp Piper Jaffray lease commenced in June 2000 and expires in May 2014. The current annual base rent payable under the US Bancorp Piper Jaffray lease is approximately $10.8 million.

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 US Bancorp Minneapolis Building for the year ended December 31, 2002. This statement is the responsibility of the US Bancorp Minneapolis 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 US Bancorp Minneapolis 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 US Bancorp Minneapolis Building for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Statement of Revenues Over Certain Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2002

 

1. Description of Real Estate Property Acquired

 

On May 1, 2003, Wells Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Wells OP’) acquired the US Bancorp Minneapolis Building, a 929,694 square foot Class A office tower located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from MN-Nicollet Mall, LLC (“Nicollet Mall”). Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $174 million, excluding acquisition costs. 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 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 statement excludes 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, this statement is not comparable to the statement of operations of the US Bancorp Minneapolis Building after its acquisition by Wells OP.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Rental Revenues

 

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of recognized rentals over amounts due pursuant to lease terms is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

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.
