The Metris Building

On February 11, 2000, Wells OP purchased a three-story office building
with approximately 101,100 rentable square feel (the "Metris Building")
on a 14.6-acre tract of land located in Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
from Meridian Tulsa, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited company ("Meridian").

The purchase price paid for the Metris Building was $12,700,000

Building consisted of $4,740,000 in cash funded from a capital
contribution by the Company and $8,000,000 in loan proceeds from an
existing revolving credit facility ("Metris Loan"). The Metris Loan was
originally established by Meridian with Richter-Schroeder Company, Inc.
on April 8, 1999. Wells OP assumed and extended the original three-year
term loan entered into by Meridian. The Metris Loan requires monthly
payments of interest only and matures on February 3, 2003. The interest
rate on the Metris Loan is an annual variable rate equal to the London
InterBank offered rate for a 30-day period plus 175 basis points. The
current interest rate under the Metris Loan is 8.53% per annum. The
Metris Loan is secured by a first mortgage against the Metris Building,
which was granted in connection with Meridian's original purchase of the
Metris Building, and assumed by Wells OP on the date of closing.

primarily unsecured credit cards issued by its subsidiary, Direct
Merchants Credit Card Bank.

The annual base rent payable for the Metris lease is $1,187,925 for the
first five years and $1,306,718 thereafter. The monthly base rent
payable for the renewal terms of the Metris lease shall be equal to the
current market rate based on the then existing rates for comparable
space of equivalent quality in suburban Tulsa, Oklahoma taking into
account location, quality, age of the office value rental rate
determination as of twelve months prior to commencement of the renewal
term. If the parties are unable to agree upon the market rate within
eleven months prior to commencement of the renewal term, the market rate
shall then be determined by arbitration.

Under the Metris lease, Metris is required to pay as additional monthly
rent all electricity costs and all operating costs and the repair and

Fund VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture

On January 10, 1997, the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture acquired a
two-story office building containing approximately 65,006 rentable
square feet on a 4.4-acre tract of land located at 15253 Bake Parkway,
in the Irvine Spectrum planned business community in metropolitan Orange


-22-
County, California (the "Quest Building"), formerly the Bake Parkway
Building. The total consideration paid for the building was $7,193,000
excluding acquisition expenses.

The funds used by the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture to acquire the
Quest Building were derived entirely from capital contributions made to
the Fund VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture by Wells Fund IX and Wells Fund
VIII. Wells Fund IX and Wells Fund VIII made capital contributions of
approximately $3,608,109 and $3,620,316, respectively, to fund the
purchase of the building, for total capital contributions to the Fund
VIII-Fund IX Joint Venture with respect to the Quest Building of
approximately $7,228,425.

On June 15, 2000, the Fund VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was formed between
Wells OP and Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates, a Georgia joint venture
partnership between Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. and Wells Real
Estate Fund IX, L.P. (the "Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture"). On July 1,
2000, the Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture contributed its interest in the
Bake Parkway Property to the Fund VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture.

A 42-month lease for the entire Bake Parkway Building has been signed by
Quest Software, Inc. Occupancy occurred on August 1, 2000. Quest is a
publicly traded corporation that provides software database management
and disaster recovery services for its clients.

Construction of tenant improvements required under the Quest lease cost
approximately $1,231,000 and was funded by Wells OP. As of December 31,
2000, Wells OP held a 15.7% equity interest in the Fund VIII-IX-REIT
Joint Venture.

On February 18, 1999, Wells Op entered into a Rental Income Guaranty
Agreement with Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates, whereby Wells OP
guaranteed the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive rental income
on the Bake Parkway Building previously leased to Matsushita Avionics at
least equal to the rental and building expenses that the VIII-IX Joint
Venture would have received over the remaining term of its original
lease with Matsushita Avionics. Under the Rental Income Guaranty
Agreement, Wells OP also guaranteed that, if a joint venture such as the
VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was ever formed by the parties for the
ownership and operation of the Bake Parkway Building, Wells OP would
guarantee to the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive monthly
cash flow distributions from such joint venture at least equal to the
rent and building expenses guaranteed under the Rental Income Guaranty
Agreement. Wells OP had paid approximately $595,000 in rental income
guaranty payments to the VIII-IX Joint Venture through December 31,
2000, but has since ceased making such payments since the Bake Parkway
Building is now fully leased to Quest. Our maximum liability exposure to
the VIII-IX Joint Venture for rental income and building expenses
potentially payable under this Rental Income Guaranty Agreement of
approximately $3,000,000 was taken into account in the economic analysis
performed in making the determination to go forward with the development
of the Matsushita Building. Although the lease of the Bake Parkway
Building by Quest has, at least temporarily, relieved Wells OP of its
obligations under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, we cannot, at
this time, determine the amount Wells OP continues to guaranty payment
under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement and, consequently, continues
to bear some risk, even though their risk has been substantially
minimized by the lease with Quest. Any payment made to the VIII-IX Joint
Venture under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement will be made from
investor proceeds of the Company.

The average effective rental per square foot at the Quest Building is
$13.72 for 2000, $10.11 for 1999, and $10.32 for 1998. The occupancy
rate at year end was 100% in 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

On January 30, 1998, the Company commenced a public offering of up to 16,500,000
shares of common stock at $10 per share pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company commenced active
operations on June 5, 1998, when it received and accepted subscription for
125,000 shares. The Company terminated its initial public offering on December
19, 1999. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $132,181,919 from
the sale of approximately 13,218,192 shares from its initial public offering.
The Company commenced its second public offering of shares of common stock of
the Wells REIT on December 20, 1999, which was terminated on December 19, 2000.
The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $175,229,193 from the sale
of approximately 17,522,919 shares from the second public offering. The Company
commenced its third public offering of the shares of common stock on December
20, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company has received gross proceeds of
approximately $7,686,958 from the

-33-
sale of approximately 768,696 shares from its third public offering.
Accordingly, as of December 31, 2000, the Company has received aggregate gross
offering proceeds of approximately $315,098,070 from the sale of 31,509,807
shares of its common stock to 7,422 investors. After payment of $10,978,981 in
Acquisition and Advisory Fees and Expenses, payment of $39,209,638 in selling
commissions and organization and offering expenses, capital contributions to
joint ventures and acquisitions expenditures by Wells OP of $262,118,082 in
property acquisitions, and common stock redemptions of $1,412,969 pursuant to
the Company's share redemption program, the Company was holding net offering
proceeds of $1,378,400 available for investment in properties, as of December
31, 2000.

Gross revenues of the Company of $23,373,206 for the year ended December 31,
2000 were attributable to rental income, interest income earned on funds held by
the Company prior to the investment in properties, and income earned from joint
ventures. Expenses of the Company were $14,820,239 for the year ended December
31, 2000, and consisted primarily of depreciation, rental expenses,
administrative, accounting fees, and printing expenses.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of raising
$180,387,220 in common stock capital contributions offset by acquisition and
advisory fees and expenses, commissions, offering costs, capital contributions
to joint ventures, and distributions received from joint ventures.

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 our status as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Company has made an election under Section 856 (c) of the Code 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, the Company generally will not be
subject to Federal income tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders.
If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will 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.
However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner
as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the year ended December 31, 2000. In
addition, the Company intends to continue to operate the Company so as to remain
qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2000, the Company had acquired an interest in 29 real estate
properties. These properties are generating sufficient cash flow to cover the
Company's operating expenses and pay dividends. The Company pays dividends on a
quarterly basis regardless of the frequency with which such distributions are
declared. Dividends will be paid to investors who are shareholders as of the
record dates selected by the Board of Directors. The Company currently
calculates quarterly dividends based upon daily record and dividend declaration
dates so shareholders will be entitled to be paid dividends immediately upon
their purchase of shares. Dividends declared during 2000 and 1999 totaled $.73
per share and $.70 per share, respectively.

On February 18, 1999, Wells OP entered into a Rental Income Guaranty Agreement
with the Fund VIII-IX Joint Venture (the "VIII-IX Joint Venture"). The Rental
Income Guaranty Agreement provided for a guarantee by Wells OP to the VIII-IX
Joint Venture that it would receive rental income on the Quest Building
(formerly the Bake Parkway Building) previously leased to Matsushita Avionics at
least equal to the rental and building expenses that the VIII-IX Joint Venture
would have received over the

-34-
remaining term of its original lease with Matsushita Avionics. Matsushita
Avionics vacated the Quest Building in December 1999, with the existing lease
term ending in September 2003, in order to occupy the Matsushita Building
developed and constructed by Wells OP. On June 15, 2000, the Wells Fund VIII-
Fund IX-REIT Joint Venture (the "VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture") was formed between
Wells OP and the VIII-IX Joint Venture for purposes of owning and operating the
Quest Building. On July 1, 2000, the VIII-IX Joint Venture transferred the Quest
Building to the VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture as its capital contribution. Under
the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, Wells OP also guaranteed that, if a joint
venture such as the VIII-IX-REIT Joint Venture was ever formed by the parties
for the ownership and operation of the Quest Building, Wells OP would guaranty
to the VIII-IX Joint Venture that it would receive monthly cash flow
distributions from such joint venture at least equal to the rent and building
expenses guaranteed under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement. Currently the
Quest Building is leased by Quest Software, Inc. (Quest) pursuant to a 42 month
lease that expires on December 31, 2003.

Wells OP had paid approximately $595,000 in rental income guaranty payments to
the VIII-IX Joint Venture through December 31, 2000, and will continue making
payments in the amount of $6,656 per month through January 2001 to cover initial
rental concessions granted to Quest in order to induce Quest to rent the Quest
Building. The Company's maximum liability exposure to the VIII-IX Joint Venture
for rental income and building expenses potentially payable under this Rental
Income Guaranty Agreement of approximately $3,000,000 was taken into account in
the economic analysis performed in making the determination to go forward with
the development of the Matsushita Building. Although the lease of the Quest
Building by Quest has substantially reduced the Company's financial exposure
under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement, the Company cannot, at this time,
determine the amount of any future liability if Quest defaults or otherwise
fails to make the required payments under its lease. Wells OP continues to
guaranty payment under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement and, consequently,
continues to bear some risk, even though their risk has been substantially
minimized by the lease with Quest. Payments made to the VIII-IX Joint Venture
under the Rental Income Guaranty Agreement are made from capital proceeds raised
and are being capitalized over the term of the lease with Matsushita Avionics
for the Matsushita Building.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $7,319,639 in 2000,
$4,008,275 in 1999 and $(275,549). The increase in net cash provided by
operating activities was due primarily to the purchase of additional properties
during 1999 and 2000.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

The Company's net cash used in investing activities was $249,316,460 in 2000,
$105,394,956 in 1999 and $33,500,807 in 1998. The increase in net cash used in
investing activities was due primarily to the raising of additional capital and
funds that have been invested in real property acquisitions.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Company's net cash provided by financing activities was $243,365,318 in
2000, $96,337,082 in 1999 and $41,554,759 in 1998. The increase in net cash
provided by financing activities was due primarily to the raising of additional
capital and the corresponding increase in funds borrowed to purchase real
properties. The Company raised $180,387,220 in offering proceeds for fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $103,169,490 for fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999 and $31,540,360 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. In
addition, the Company received loan proceeds from financing secured by
properties of $187,633,130 and repaid notes payable in the amount of $83,899,171
for fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2000, the Company's real estate properties were 100% occupied
by tenants. Gross revenues were $23,373,206 for fiscal year ended December 31,
2000, $6,495,395 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and $395,178 for fiscal
year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in revenues was due to the purchase
of additional properties during 1999 and 2000. The purchase of additional
properties also resulted in an increase in operating expenses, management and
leasing fees, and depreciation expense. The Company's net income also increased
from $334,034 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 to $3,884,649 for fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999 to $8,552,967 for fiscal year ended December 31,
2000.

Rental income increased in 2000 over 1999 and 1998 due primarily to the
increased occupancy level of the property. Other operating expenses were
negative for 2000, 1999 and 1998 due to an offset of tenant reimbursements in
operating costs, as well as management and leasing reimbursements. Tenants are
billed an estimated amount for current year common area maintenance which is
then reconciled the following year and the difference billed to the tenant.
Total expenses decreased in 2000 due to a decrease in depreciation expense but
increased for 1999 over 1998 due to increased depreciation and management and
leasing fees as the building was leased up. The decrease in depreciation
resulted from an accelerated depreciation on tenant improvement for a short-term
lease in 1999 for 23,092 square feet.

-36-
Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company increased in 2000
over prior year levels due to a combination of increased rental income and
decreased operating expenses. The Alstom Power-Knoxville Building incurred
property taxes of $63,198 for 2000, $47,616 for 1999 and $36,771 for 1998.

Rental income remained stable in 2000 as compared to 1999. Operating expenses
increased significantly due in part to a significant rise in real estate taxes,
which stemmed from the revaluation of the property by Boulder County authorities
in 1999. A later reduction in taxes resulting from an appeal in 2000 was offset
by a common area maintenance reimbursement credit to the tenant. The Ohmeda
Building incurred property taxes of $227,495 for 2000, $249,707 for 1999 and
$143,962 for 1998.

Cash distributions and net income allocated to the Company decreased in 2000, as
compared to 1999, due to decreased net income which resulted from the increase
in expenses discussed above.

Rental income increased due to a tenant occupying additional space previously

due to an offset of tenant reimbursements in operating costs as well as
management and leasing fee reimbursements. Tenants are billed an estimated
amount for current year common area maintenance which is then reconciled the
following year and the difference billed to the tenants. Management and leasing
expenses increased in 2000, as compared to 1999, due to differences in
adjustments for prior year billings to tenants. The 360 Interlocken Building
incurred property taxes of $268,744 for 2000, $244,025 for 1999 and $96,747 for
1998.

Net income and cash distributions allocated to the Company increased in 2000, as
compared to 1999, due primarily to the increase in net income.

parking lot complex in the second quarter of 1999. Total expenses increased in
2000, over 1999, due to an increase in depreciation and real estate tax expenses
relating to the new parking lot. Other operating expenses for 1998 are negative
due to tenant reimbursement reflected in this category which includes management
and leasing expense reimbursements. The Iomega Building incurred property taxes
of $76,754 for 2000, $73,020 for 1999, and $44,559 for 1998, the first year of
occupancy.

Net income and cash distribution allocated to the Company increased in 2000, as

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the
past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. There are provisions
in the majority of tenant leases to protect the Company from the impact of
inflation. These leases contain common area maintenance charges (CAM charges),
real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square foot bases, or in
some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per
square foot allowance. These provisions should reduce the Company's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

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, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2000 and 1999 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000 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, 2000 is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2000,1999, 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 125,000,000
(exclusive of 10,000,000 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

Webster Building, a six-story office building located in Houston, Texas;
and (xv) the Metris Minnetonka Building, a nine-story office building
located in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

The Company owns an interest in one property through a joint venture
between the Operating Partnership, Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P.
("Wells Fund VIII"), and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. ("Wells Fund IX"),
which is referred to as the Fund VIII, IX, and REIT Joint Venture. The
Company also owns interests in several properties through a joint venture
between the Operating Partnership, 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"). The
Company owns two properties through joint venture

F-7
between the Operating Partnership and Fund X and XI Associates, a joint
venture between Wells Fund X and Wells Fund XI. 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 the Fund XI, XII, and REIT
Joint Venture. The Company also owns two properties through a joint venture
between Wells Fund XII and the Operating Partnership, which is referred to
as the Fund XII and REIT Joint Venture.

Through its investment in the Fund VIII, IX, and REIT Joint Venture, the
Company owns an interest in a two-story office building in Orange County,
California (the "Quest Building").

The following properties are owned by the Company through its investment in
the Fund IX, X, XI, and REIT Joint Venture: (i) a three-story office
building in Knoxville, Tennessee (the "Alstom Power Building," formerly 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 "Avaya Building," formerly the

building in Troy, Michigan (the "Siemens Building"), and (ii) a one-story
office building and a two-story office building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
(collectively referred to as the "AT&T Call Center Buildings").

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% (90% beginning in 2001) 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

F-8
income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

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 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, 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 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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year financial statement presentation.

F-9
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.

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 through December 31, 2000 were $10,978,981 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, 2000 and 1999 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 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, 2000, the Advisor paid offering expenses on behalf of

Due from affiliates at December 31, 2000 represents the Operating
Partnership's share of the cash to be distributed from its joint venture
investments for the fourth quarter of 2000 and 1999 as follows:


2000 1999

Fund VIII, IX, and REIT Joint Venture $ 21,605 $ 0

The Advisor 10,995 0

--------- ---------
$ 734,286 $ 648,354
========= =========

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) 4.5% of the gross
revenues generally paid over the life of the lease, or (b) 0.6% of the net asset
value of the properties (excluding vacant properties) owned by the Company,
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 $1,111,748, $336,517, and $0 for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, 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.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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.

10. 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 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.

F-33
A summary of the Company's stock option activity during 2000 and 1999 is as
follows:

Exercise
Number Price
------ --------

Outstanding at December 31, 1998 0 $ 0
Granted 17,500 12
------ --------
Outstanding at December 31, 1999 17,500 12
Granted 7,000 12
------ --------
Outstanding at December 31, 2000 24,000 $ 12
====== ========
Outstanding options exercisable as of December 31,
2000 7,000 $ 12
====== ========

For SFAS No. 123 purposes, the fair value of each stock option for 2000 and
1999 has been estimated as of the date of the grant using the minimum value
method. The weighted average risk-free interest rates assumed for 2000 and
1999 were 6.45% and 5.97%, respectively. Dividend yields of 7.3% were
assumed for both years. The expected life of an option was assumed to be
four years and five years for 2000 and 1999, respectively. Based on these
assumptions, the fair value of the options granted during 2000 and 1999 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 and 3% of the average common
shares outstanding during the preceding year (the "limitations"). During
2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized $2,436,495 in common
stock repurchases. Accordingly, the Company repurchased 142,297 of its own
common shares at an aggregate cost of $1,412,969. These transactions were
funded with cash on hand and did not exceed either of the limitations.
