Status of Our Public Offerings

We commenced our initial public offering of 785 million shares of common stock on December 1, 2003, which consisted of a 600 million-share primary offering and a 185 million-share offering under our dividend reinvestment plan. We stopped making offers under the primary offering on November 26, 2005. We raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.1 million shares in our initial public offering, including shares sold under the dividend reinvestment plan after the primary offering terminated.

On November 10, 2005, we commenced this offering of 300.6 million shares of common stock. Of these shares, we are offering 300 million shares in a primary offering and 0.6 million shares under our dividend reinvestment plan. On April 14, 2006, we amended the registration statements for this offering and our initial public offering in order to offer in a combined prospectus the 300.6 million shares registered under the follow-on offering and 174.4 million unsold shares related to the dividend reinvestment plan and registered under the initial public offering. As of August 15, 2008, we had received gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion from the sale of approximately 237.5 million shares in this follow-on offering, including dividend reinvestment plan shares sold under the combined prospectus.

As of August 15, 2008, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $4.3 billion from the sale of approximately 434.6 million shares in our public offerings. After incurring approximately $86.5 million in acquisition fees, approximately $398.1 million in selling commissions and dealer-manager fees, approximately $57.7 million in other organization and offering expenses, and funding common stock redemptions of approximately $176.6 million pursuant to the share redemption program, as of August 15, 2008, we had raised aggregate net offering proceeds available for investment in properties of approximately $3.6 billion, substantially all of which had been invested in real estate properties.

Acquisition of the Lindbergh Center Buildings

On July 1, 2008, we purchased two 14-story office buildings located on approximately 3.0 acres of land at 575 Morosgo Drive in Atlanta, Georgia (collectively, the “Lindbergh Center Buildings”). We purchased the Lindbergh Center Buildings subject to a ground lease that expires on July 31, 2030 and we have options available to renew the ground lease through July 31, 2099. The current annual rent due under the ground lease is approximately $1.2 million. The Lindbergh Center Buildings contain approximately 955,000 aggregate rentable square feet. The purchase price of the Lindbergh Center Buildings was approximately $285.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The Lindbergh Center Buildings, and related revenue bond and capital lease described below, were purchased from BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc., which is not affiliated with us or our advisor. The acquisition of the Lindbergh Center Buildings was funded with net proceeds raised from this offering and with proceeds from our $450.0 million line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the “Wachovia Line of Credit”).

Fee simple title to the land on which the Lindbergh Center Buildings are located is held by Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (“MARTA”). MARTA leases the land under a 99-year ground lease (“MARTA Ground Lease”) to the Development Authority of Fulton County (the “Development Authority”), which issued a taxable revenue bond for $250.0 million in connection with the construction of the Lindbergh Center Buildings. In connection with the acquisition of the Lindbergh Center Buildings, we assumed the investment in the development authority bond and a corresponding obligation under a capital lease of the Lindbergh Center Buildings. Certain real property tax abatement benefits are available to us because the leasehold interest under the MARTA Ground Lease is held by the Development Authority. The property tax abatement benefits will expire in 2012. The amount of rent payable under the lease (which we owe) and the amount of interest receivable on the bond (to which we are entitled) are approximately the same. Upon exercise of an option to purchase contained in the lease, we will acquire the leasehold interest under the MARTA Ground Lease. We are not likely to exercise the purchase option until the tax abatement benefits expire. Upon expiration of the MARTA Ground Lease, title to the Lindbergh Center Buildings will vest in MARTA.

The Lindbergh Center Buildings, which were constructed in 2002, are entirely leased to AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”). AT&T, which guarantees the AT&T Services lease, reported a net worth as of June 30, 2008 of approximately $111.9 billion. AT&T Services provides local and long distance phone service, wireless and data communications, paging, internet access and messaging, cable and satellite television, security services, and telecommunications equipment in the United States. AT&T Services also provides directory advertising and publishing. The current annual base rent under the AT&T Services leases is approximately $19.9 million. The current remaining lease term on the AT&T Services lease is 12 years. AT&T Services has the right to extend the term of its leases for two successive periods of five years each.

Acquisition of the Three Glenlake Building

On July 31, 2008, we acquired a 95% interest in a 14-story office building containing approximately 356,000 rentable square feet located on approximately 2.8 acres of land at 3 Glenlake Parkway in Sandy Springs, Georgia (the “Three Glenlake Building”) for approximately $100.6 million, exclusive of closing costs. Our interest in the Three Glenlake Building, and related revenue bond and capital lease described below, were purchased from Two Glenlake, LLC (“Two Glenlake”), the joint venture partner. Two Glenlake retained a 5% interest in the newly formed joint venture. Two Glenlake is not affiliated with us or our advisor. The acquisition of our interest in the Three Glenlake Building was funded with i) net proceeds raised from this offering, ii) proceeds from our $450.0 million Wachovia Line of Credit and iii) proceeds from a $25.0 million loan secured by the Three Glenlake Building. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points and matures on July 31, 2013; however, interest has effectively been fixed at 5.95% for the life of the loan through an interest rate swap agreement. Interest is due monthly; however, under the terms of the loan agreement, a portion of the debt service amounts will be deferred and added to the outstanding balance of the note over the term.

Fee simple title to the Three Glenlake Building is held by the Development Authority of Fulton County (the “Development Authority”), which issued a taxable revenue bond for $120.0 million in connection with the construction of the Three Glenlake Building. In connection with the acquisition of the Three Glenlake Building, we assumed the investment in the development authority bond and a corresponding obligation under a capital lease of the Three Glenlake Building. Certain real property tax abatement benefits are available to us because the fee simple title to the Three Glenlake Building is held by the Development Authority. The property tax abatement benefits will expire in 2017. The amount of rent payable under the lease (which we owe) and the amount of interest receivable on the bond (to which we are entitled) are approximately the same. We will acquire fee simple title to the Three Glenlake Building upon exercise of an option to purchase contained in the lease. We are not likely to exercise the purchase option until the tax abatement benefits expire.

The Three Glenlake Building, which was constructed in 2008, is entirely leased to Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. (“Rubbermaid”). Rubbermaid reported a net worth as of June 30, 2008 of approximately $2.3 billion. Rubbermaid is a global marketer of consumer and commercial products including office products, cleaning products, organizational products and tools and hardware. The current annual base rent under the Rubbermaid lease is approximately $6.5 million. The current remaining lease term on the Rubbermaid lease is 12 years. Rubbermaid has the right to extend the term of its lease for two successive periods of five years each.

Indebtedness

As of August 15, 2008, our leverage ratio, that is, the ratio of total debt to total purchase price of real estate assets plus cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 26%. As of August 15, 2008, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $1.3 billion, which consisted of $8.3 million outstanding under a fixed-rate line of credit, $100.0 million outstanding under an unsecured variable-rate term loan, and $833.7 million outstanding under mortgage loans with fixed interest rates, or with interest rates that are effectively fixed when considered in connection with an interest rate swap agreement. We currently have $335.0 million outstanding under the Wachovia Line of Credit.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified with the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” or similar words. Actual results may differ from those described in forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated see “Risk Factors” in the prospectus and supplement no. 7.

During the periods presented, we have continued to receive investor proceeds under this offering of common stock and to invest in real estate assets. Thus, our results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 reflect growing operational revenues and expenses and fluctuating interest and general and administrative expenses. The increases in operational revenues and expenses result from acquiring real properties, while the fluctuations in interest expense arise from using varying levels of short-term and long-term debt financing to fund such acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have continued to raise funds through the sale of our common stock under this offering and invested those proceeds in real properties in 2007 and 2008 and anticipate continuing to do so in the future. We also anticipate continuing to receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan in the future, and using a significant portion of those proceeds to fund redemptions of our common stock under our share redemption program. We expect that our primary source of future operating cash flows will be cash generated from the operations of the properties currently in our portfolio and those to be acquired in the future. The amount of future dividends to be paid to our stockholders will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, how quickly we are able to invest proceeds from the sale of our common stock in quality income-producing assets, our expectations of future cash flows, and our determination of near-term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, redemptions of our common stock, and debt repayments.

The competition to acquire high-quality commercial office properties remains high. Timing differences arise between acquiring properties and raising capital and between making operating payments and collecting operating receipts. Accordingly, we may periodically be required to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet our dividend payment schedule. Our primary focus, however, is to continue to maintain the quality of our portfolio. Thus, in this intensely competitive environment, we may opt to lower the dividend rather than compromise that quality by accumulating significant borrowings to meet a dividend level higher than operating cash flow would support. We continue to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions and their impact on our earnings and future dividend projections.

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $107.2 million, which is primarily comprised of receipts of rental payments, tenant reimbursements, hotel income, and interest and other income, partially offset by payments for operating costs, interest expense, asset and property management fees, and general and administrative expenses. From net cash flows from operating activities and cash on hand, we paid dividends to stockholders of approximately $115.4 million during this period. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we collected investor proceeds held in a tenant improvement escrow account of $18.8 million, received net debt proceeds of $42.1 million and generated net proceeds from the sale of common stock under this offering, net of fees, offering cost reimbursements, and share redemptions of $323.0 million, which were primarily used to fund investments in real estate of $378.2 million. We expect to utilize the residual cash balance on hand as of June 30, 2008 of approximately $41.5 million to satisfy current liabilities, pay future dividends, fund future acquisitions of real properties, or to reduce indebtedness.

We intend to continue to generate capital from the sale of common stock under this offering and to use such capital, along with selective third party borrowings, primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate. We expect that we will use a significant portion of the proceeds from sales under our dividend reinvestment plan to fund redemptions under the share redemption program. As of July 31, 2008, we had $361.0 million outstanding under the Wachovia Line of Credit. Accordingly, we believe that we have adequate capacity to meet our scheduled purchase and debt obligations noted in the contractual commitments and contingencies table below. We expect to use substantially all of our future operating cash flow, after payments for certain capital expenditures, to pay dividends to stockholders.

On June 2, 2008, our board of directors declared a daily dividend for stockholders of record from June 16, 2008 through September 15, 2008 in an amount equal to an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share, which is consistent with the rate of dividends declared for the first two quarters of 2008 and each quarter of 2007 on a per-share basis. This dividend will be paid in September 2008.

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our primary sources of capital over the long term will include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from third-party lenders, and net cash flows from operations. As of July 31, 2008, approximately 91.8 million shares remain available for sale under this offering, which will expire upon the earlier of the sale of all 300.0 million shares or November 10, 2008. Thereafter, we expect to commence a second follow-on offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 9, 2007. We may continue to offer the 175.0 million dividend reinvestment plan shares beyond these dates until we have sold all of these shares through the reinvestment of dividends. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, tenant improvements, offering-related costs, operating expenses, interest expense, and dividends.

In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that substantially all future net operating cash flows will be used to pay dividends. However, we may temporarily use other sources of cash, such as short-term borrowings, to fund dividends from time to time (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overview” above). We expect to use substantially all net cash flows generated from raising equity or debt financing to fund acquisitions, capital expenditures, the repayment of outstanding borrowings, and the redemption of shares under the share redemption program. If sufficient equity or debt capital is not available, our future investments in real estate will be lower.

To the extent that future cash flows provided by operations are lower due to lower returns on properties, future dividends paid may be lower as well. Cash flow from operations will depend significantly on the level of market rents and our tenants’ ability to make rental payments in the future. We believe that the diversity and creditworthiness of our tenant base helps to mitigate the risk of a tenant defaulting on a lease. However, general economic downturns, downturns in one or more of our core markets, or downturns in the particular industries in which our tenants operate could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire. In the event of any of these situations, our cash flow and consequently our ability to meet capital needs, could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends in the future.

Results of Operations

Overview

Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as a result of acquiring properties during the periods presented and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2007 versus the three months ended June 30, 2008

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $75.8 million and $20.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $96.7 million and $23.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning recently acquired properties for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Other property income decreased from approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and is primarily due to fees earned in connection with a lease termination at 5 Houston Center in 2007. Unlike the majority of rental income, which is recognized ratably over long-term contracts, income from lease terminations is recognized once we have completed our obligation to provide space to the tenant.

Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $32.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $39.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired properties for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Depreciation increased from approximately $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Depreciation is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired properties for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Amortization increased from approximately $26.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio offset by recognizing write-offs of unamortized lease specific assets related to a lease termination at 5 Houston Center of approximately $5.2 million during the first quarter of 2007. Amortization is expected to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired properties for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of increases in administrative reimbursements related to the growth in our portfolio and costs incurred in connection with prospective acquisitions that did not close. General and administrative expenses are expected to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Interest expense increased from approximately $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the capital lease obligation assumed in connection with the Lenox Park acquisition, new borrowings and an increase in the average balance outstanding on the Wachovia Line of Credit. We anticipate that future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will depend largely upon the level of additional proceeds that we are able to raise under our public offerings, the timing and availability of opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, our ability to secure financings or re-financings, and changes in market interest rates.

We recognized a gain on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment of approximately $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to a market value adjustment to the interest rate swap agreement on the 222 E. 41st Street Building loan in the second quarter of 2008 prompted by a revised economic outlook. We anticipate that future gains and losses on our interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment will fluctuate primarily as a result of changes in market interest rates and changes in the economic outlook for future market rates. Market value adjustments to swaps that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in other comprehensive income and do not impact net income.

We recognized a loss on foreign currency exchange contract of approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to a market value adjustment to our foreign currency exchange contract prompted by the decline in value of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Russian ruble. We anticipate that future gains and losses on our foreign currency exchange contract will fluctuate primarily as a result of the future fluctuations in value between the U.S. Dollar and the Russian ruble.

We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 in connection with accepting an offer from the lender to prepay the Key Center Complex mortgage notes for approximately $11.5 million. The net book value of the mortgage notes was approximately $14.5 million, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million.

Interest and other income increased from approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to income earned on investment in development authority bonds assumed in connection with the Lenox Park acquisition, partially offset by lower interest income from holding lower average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, due to timing differences in raising capital in our public offerings and closing on property acquisitions. Future levels of interest income will vary primarily based on differences in the pace at which capital is raised in our public offerings and the pace at which such capital is invested in real estate assets or used to repay borrowings.

We recognized net income and net income per share of approximately $7.7 million and $0.02, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $16.8 million and $0.04, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008. These increases are primarily attributable to the impact of the market value adjustment to the interest rate swap on the 222 E. 41st Street Building loan and the gain on early extinguishment of debt described above. We expect future earnings and earnings per share to increase, exclusive of market value adjustments to the interest rate swap, as a result of current and future real estate acquisitions over the long-term.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus the six months ended June 30, 2008

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $149.3 million and $41.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $188.3 million and $49.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning recently acquired assets for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Other property income decreased from approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and is primarily due to fees earned in connection with a lease termination at 5 Houston Center in the second quarter of 2007. Unlike the majority of rental income, which is recognized ratably over long-term contracts, income from lease terminations is recognized once we have completed our obligation to provide space to the tenant.

Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $62.9 million and $15.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $79.4 million and $19.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired assets for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Depreciation increased from approximately $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth to the portfolio. Depreciation is expected to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired assets for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Amortization increased from approximately $57.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $59.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio. Amortization is expected to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning recently acquired assets for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of increases in administrative reimbursements related to the growth in our portfolio and costs incurred in connection with prospective acquisitions that did not close. General and administrative expenses are expected to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Interest expense increased from approximately $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the capital lease obligation assumed in connection with the acquisition of five office buildings containing approximately 1 million rentable square feet located on an approximate 17-acre tract of land in Atlanta, Georgia, (the “Lenox Park Acquisition”) and new borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in the cost of borrowing under the Wachovia Line of Credit. We anticipate that future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real

estate. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will depend largely upon the level of additional proceeds that we are able to raise under our public offerings, the timing and availability of opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, our ability to secure financings or re-financings, and changes in market interest rates.

We recognized a loss on interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to market value adjustments to the interest rate swap agreement on the 222 E. 41st Street Building loan in the first and second quarters of 2008 prompted by declines in market interest rates and a revised economic outlook. We anticipate that future gains and losses on our interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment will fluctuate primarily as a result of additional changes in market interest rates and changes in the economic outlook for future market rates. Market value adjustments to swaps that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in other comprehensive income and do not impact net income.

We recognized a loss on foreign currency exchange contract of approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to a market value adjustment to our foreign currency exchange contract prompted by the decline in value of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Russian ruble. We anticipate that future gains and losses on our foreign currency exchange contract will fluctuate primarily as a result of the future fluctuations in value between the U.S. Dollar and the Russian ruble.

We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 in connection with accepting an offer from the lender to prepay the Key Center Complex mortgage notes for approximately $11.5 million. The net book value of the mortgage notes was approximately $14.5 million, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million.

Interest and other income increased from approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to income earned on investment in development authority bonds assumed in connection with the Lenox Park acquisition, partially offset by lower interest income from holding lower average cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, due to timing differences in raising capital in our public offerings and closing on property acquisitions. Future levels of interest income will vary primarily based on differences in the pace at which capital is raised in our public offerings and the pace at which such capital is invested in real estate assets or used to repay borrowings.

Net income and net income per share increased from approximately $5.1 million and $0.02, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to approximately $10.5 million and $0.03, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to the continued growth of our portfolio, the gain on early extinguishment of debt described above, and the write-off of unamortized lease-specific assets related to a lease termination in the first quarter of 2007. Absent market valuation adjustments to our interest rate swap, we expect future earnings and earnings per share to increase as a result of current and future real estate acquisitions over the long-term.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure considered by some equity real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) in evaluating operating performance. We have presented FFO below for the periods included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, however, do not intend to do so in future filings. We believe that FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), has diverged from how we measure real estate operations considerably in recent periods. Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”) that were put into effect after the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO in 1999 have prompted a significant increase in the magnitude of non-cash and non-operating items included in our FFO, as defined. Such non-cash and non-operating items include market value adjustments to interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, amortization of certain in-place lease intangible assets and liabilities and gains or losses on early extinguishments of debt. Additionally, cash flows generated from FFO may be used to fund certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as tenant improvements, building improvements, deferred lease costs, and capitalized interest.

In addition to presenting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, we have also presented below FFO, as adjusted to exclude market value adjustments to interest rate swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because, to the extent that the underlying contracts remain in effect for the full term, the intra-term gains or losses will not be realized in cash. While we believe that FFO, as adjusted, is more indicative of funds from our operations, we believe that, on a long-term basis, net cash flow from operations as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows is the best measure of funds from our operations and offers more comparability with other REIT’s and real estate companies. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we reported net cash flow from operations of $107.2 million and $86.0 million, respectfully.

Election as a REIT

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our stockholders, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain. As a REIT, 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 then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) that is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and includes the operations of, among other things, a full-service hotel. We have elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings that we own through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, our investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of our total assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that are intended to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, 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. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not reset frequently enough to fully cover inflation.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with 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 the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Investment in Real Estate Assets

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   5-25 years

Tenant improvements

   Shorter of economic life or lease term

Intangible lease assets

   Lease term

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of properties to tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including the value in-place leases, based in each case on our estimate of their fair values.

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on our determination of the relative fair value of these assets. We determine the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related costs. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising from In-Place Leases where We are the Lessor

As further described below, in-place leases where we are the lessor may have values related to: direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, tenant relationships, and effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates:

 

   

Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, including commissions, tenant improvements and other direct costs, are estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. Such direct costs are included in intangible lease origination costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

 

   

The value of opportunity costs associated with lost rentals avoided by acquiring an in-place lease is calculated based on the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Such opportunity costs are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

 

   

The value of tenant relationships is calculated based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. Values associated with tenant relationships are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

 

   

The value of effective rental rates of in-place leases that are above or below the market rates of comparable leases is calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities Arising from In-Place Leases where We are the Lessee

In-place ground leases where we are the lessee may have value associated with effective contractual rental rates that are above or below market rates. Such values are calculated based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases.

Index to Financial Statements

The capitalized above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as intangible lease liabilities or assets and amortized as an adjustment to property operating cost over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we decrease the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and recognize an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, in order of preference, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets to date.

Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income.

Related Parties

Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with our advisor, Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and reimbursements to Wells Capital or its affiliates, for acquisition fees, commissions, dealer-manager fees, asset and property management fees, construction fees, reimbursement of other offering costs, and reimbursement of operating costs. See Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements, and fees.

Legal Actions Against Related Parties

On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc., formerly known as Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Piedmont REIT), filed a putative class action and derivative complaint, presently styled In re Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against, among others, Piedmont REIT; Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, our General Partners; Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), our property manager; certain affiliates of Wells Real Estate Funds (“WREF”); the directors of Piedmont REIT; and certain individuals who formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT prior to the closing of the internalization transaction on April 16, 2007. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the federal proxy rules and breaches of fiduciary duty arising from the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction and the related proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, as amended. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and nullification of the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction. On April 9, 2007, the District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for an order enjoining the internalization transaction. On April 17, 2007, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and the case was docketed in the Northern District of Georgia on April 24, 2007. On June 7, 2007, the Court granted a motion to designate the class lead plaintiff and class co-lead counsel. On June 27, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which attempts to assert class action claims on behalf of those persons who received and were entitled to vote on the Piedmont REIT proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, and derivative claims on behalf of Piedmont REIT. On July 9, 2007, the Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for expedited discovery related to an anticipated motion for a preliminary injunction. On August 13, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 31, 2008, the Court granted in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court dismissed five of the seven counts of the amended complaint in their entirety. The Court dismissed the remaining two counts with the exception of allegations regarding the failure to disclose in the Piedmont REIT proxy statement details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. On April 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which alleges violations of the federal proxy rules based upon allegations that the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction omitted details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, to nullify and rescind the internalization transaction, and to cancel and rescind any stock issued to the defendants as consideration for the internalization transaction. On May 12, 2008, the defendants answered and raised defenses to the second amended complaint. On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. As of the date of this filing, the time for the defendants to respond to the plaintiff’s motion for class certification has not yet passed. The parties are presently engaged in discovery. Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management intend to vigorously defend this action. Any financial loss incurred by Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates could hinder their ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments.

On August 24, 2007, two stockholders of Piedmont REIT filed a derivative complaint, styled Donald and Donna Goldstein, Derivatively on behalf of Defendant Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. v. Leo F. Wells, III, et al., in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, on behalf of Piedmont REIT against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, our General Partners, and a number of individuals who currently or formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the consideration paid by Piedmont REIT as part of the internalization transaction was excessive; that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Piedmont REIT; and that the internalization transaction unjustly enriched the defendants. The complaint seeks, among other things, a judgment declaring that the defendants committed breaches of their fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched at the expense of Piedmont REIT; monetary damages equal to the amount by which Piedmont REIT was damaged by the defendants; an order awarding Piedmont REIT restitution from the defendants and ordering disgorgement of all profits and benefits obtained by the defendants from their wrongful conduct and fiduciary breaches; an order rescinding the internalization transaction; and the establishment of a constructive trust upon any benefits improperly received by the defendants as a result of their wrongful conduct. On October 19, 2007, the Court verbally granted the defendants’ motion for a protective order (and entered a written order on October 24, 2007) staying discovery until the Court rules on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 31, 2007, the defendants filed their motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ derivative complaint. On December 19, 2007, the Court entered an order allowing the plaintiffs to take limited written discovery on the issue of derivative demand, but the order staying discovery entered in October 2007 otherwise remains in effect. The defendants responded to the limited discovery requested by the plaintiffs. On January 10, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which contains substantially the same counts against the same defendants as the original complaint with certain additional factual allegations based primarily on events occurring after the original complaint was filed. In addition, the plaintiffs have responded to the defendants’ motion to dismiss this lawsuit. A hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on February 22, 2008, and on March 13, 2008, the Court granted the motion to dismiss. On April 11, 2008, the plaintiffs filed a notice to appeal the Court’s judgment granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2008

(unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. Wells REIT II engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and commenced operations on January 22, 2004. Wells REIT II conducts business primarily through Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. (“Wells OP II”), a Delaware limited partnership. Wells REIT II is the sole general partner of Wells OP II and possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells OP II. Wells REIT II owns more than 99.9% of the equity interests in Wells OP II. Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), the external advisor to Wells REIT II, is the sole limited partner of Wells OP II. Wells OP II acquires, develops, owns, leases, and operates real properties directly, through wholly owned subsidiaries or through joint ventures. References to Wells REIT II herein shall include Wells REIT II and all subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, including consolidated joint ventures, Wells OP II, and Wells OP II’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. See Note 7 for a discussion of the advisory services provided by Wells Capital.

As of June 30, 2008, Wells REIT II owned interests in 60 office properties, one industrial building, one hotel, and one office property under construction, comprising approximately 18.5 million square feet of commercial space located in 23 states and the District of Columbia. Of these properties, 58 are wholly owned and five are owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2008, the office and industrial properties were approximately 98% leased.

On December 1, 2003, Wells REIT II commenced its initial public offering of up to 785.0 million shares of common stock, of which 185.0 million shares were reserved for issuance through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. Except for continuing to offer shares for sale through its dividend reinvestment plan, Wells REIT II stopped offering shares for sale under its initial public offering on November 26, 2005. Wells REIT II raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.1 million shares under its initial public offering, including shares sold under the dividend reinvestment plan through March 2006. On November 10, 2005, Wells REIT II commenced a follow-on offering of up to 300.6 million shares of common stock, of which 0.6 million shares were reserved for issuance under Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. On April 14, 2006, Wells REIT II amended the aforementioned registration statements to offer in a combined prospectus 300.6 million shares registered under the follow-on offering and 174.4 million unsold shares related to the dividend reinvestment plan originally registered under the initial public offering. As of June 30, 2008, Wells REIT II had raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion from the sale of approximately 228.0 million shares under the follow-on offering.

As of June 30, 2008, Wells REIT II has raised gross offering proceeds from the sale of common stock under the initial public offering and follow-on offering of approximately $4.3 billion. After deductions from such gross offering proceeds for payments of acquisition fees of approximately $84.6 million, selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $389.0 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $57.7 million, and common stock redemptions of approximately $161.9 million under the share redemption program, Wells REIT II had received aggregate net offering proceeds of approximately $3.6 billion. Substantially all of Wells REIT II’s net offering proceeds have been invested in real properties and related assets. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 98.2 million shares remain available for sale to the public under the follow-on offering, exclusive of shares available under the dividend reinvestment plan.

On July 9, 2007, Wells REIT II filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 375.0 million shares of its common stock, of which up to 300.0 million shares are to be offered in a primary offering for $10 per share, with volume discounts available to investors who purchase more than 50,000 shares at any one time. As described in the registration statement, discounts may also be available for other categories of purchasers. The remaining 75.0 million shares of common stock are to be offered under Wells REIT II’s amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.55 per share or 95% of the estimated value of a share of its common stock. Wells REIT II has not issued any shares under the aforementioned registration statement as it has not been declared effective by the SEC. Wells REIT II does not expect to commence an offering under the aforementioned registration statement until the earlier of the date Wells REIT II sells all the shares available for sale in its current offering or November 10, 2008.

Index to Financial Statements

Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a public securities exchange. However, Wells REIT II’s charter requires that in the event Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a national securities exchange by October 2015, Wells REIT II must either seek stockholder approval to extend or amend this listing deadline or stockholder approval to begin liquidating investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders. If Wells REIT II seeks stockholder approval to extend or amend this listing date and does not obtain it, Wells REIT II will then be required to seek stockholder approval to liquidate. In this circumstance, if Wells REIT II seeks and does not obtain approval to liquidate, Wells REIT II will not be required to list or liquidate and could continue to operate indefinitely as an unlisted company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Wells REIT II have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for these unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, and any variable interest entity in which Wells REIT II or Wells OP II is deemed the primary beneficiary. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Wells REIT II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Investment in Development Authority Bonds and Obligations Under Capital Leases

In connection with the acquisition of certain real estate assets, Wells REIT II assumed investments in development authority bonds and corresponding obligations under capital leases of land or buildings. The county development authority issued bonds to developers to finance the initial development of these projects, a portion of which was then leased back to the developer under a capital lease. This structure enabled the developer to receive property tax abatements over the concurrent terms of the development authority bonds and capital leases. The remaining property tax abatement benefits transferred to Wells REIT II upon assumption of the bonds and corresponding capital leases. The development authority bonds are recorded at net principal value, and the obligations under capital leases are recorded at the present value of the expected payments. The related amounts of interest income and expense are recognized as earned in equal amounts and, accordingly, do not impact net income.

Redeemable Common Stock

Wells REIT II’s share redemption program requires Wells REIT II to honor all redemption requests made within two years following the death of a stockholder. Wells REIT II has insurance-backed funding for the redemption of shares under its share redemption program in the event Wells REIT II receives an unusually large number of redemption requests due to the death of investors. As the decision to honor redemptions sought within two years following the death of a stockholder is outside of the control of Wells REIT II and the insurance agreement provides Wells REIT II with the ability to fund all of such redemptions, Wells REIT II has recorded redeemable common stock in the temporary equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet equal to the present value of the future estimated deductible amounts under the insurance agreement.

In addition, Wells REIT II is required to honor redemptions (other than those sought within two years following the death of a stockholder) up to the amount of proceeds raised in the current calendar year under the dividend reinvestment plan. Accordingly, the amount of proceeds raised under the dividend reinvestment plan, less redemptions funded in the current calendar year, is also recorded as redeemable common stock in the temporary equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Further, upon being tendered for redemption by the holder, Wells REIT II reclassifies redeemable common shares from temporary equity to a liability at settlement value.

Index to Financial Statements

Income Taxes

Wells REIT II has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT, Wells REIT II generally is not subject to income tax on income it distributes to stockholders. Wells REIT II is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells REIT II and is organized as a Delaware limited liability company, which owns, among other things, a full-service hotel. Wells REIT II has elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Wells REIT II may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings owned by Wells REIT II through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, for Wells REIT II to continue to qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II’s investments in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of the total assets of Wells REIT II. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities based on the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures required for fair value measurements under GAAP. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (“FSP 157-1”). FSP 157-1, which is effective upon the initial adoption of SFAS 157, excludes SFAS Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases (“SFAS 13”), as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13, from the scope of SFAS 157. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, aspects of SFAS 157 impacted by FSP 157-2 will be effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2009, and all other aspects of SFAS 157 are effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair value is defined by SFAS 157 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. SFAS 157 defines the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the identical term is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments or futures contracts.

Level 2 – Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.

Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Wells REIT II applied the provisions of SFAS 157 in recording its interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange contract at fair value. The valuation of the interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedge contract is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2008. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on Wells REIT II’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires, among other things, for (i) transaction costs related to business combinations to be expensed as incurred and (ii) preacquisition contingencies related to contractual obligations and purchase price contingencies to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) will be effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2009.

SFAS 161 will be effective for Wells REIT II beginning January 1, 2009. Wells REIT II is currently assessing the provisions of SFAS 161 and has not yet determined the financial impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

On April 28, 2008, Wells REIT II accepted an offer from the lender to prepay the Key Center Complex mortgage notes for approximately $11.5 million. The net book value of the Key Center Complex mortgage notes was approximately $14.5 million, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.0 million. This gain is reported as a gain on early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Wells REIT II made interest payments, including amounts capitalized, of approximately $19.8 million and $17.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Property Under Construction

On August 1, 2007, Wells REIT II entered into a development agreement with an unrelated third party for the purpose of constructing three office buildings comprised of approximately 824,000 rentable square feet and located in Cranberry, Pennsylvania (the “Cranberry Woods Drive Buildings”) for approximately $185.2 million. As of June 30, 2008, costs of approximately $134.7 million remained to be incurred under the agreement. The Cranberry Woods Drive Buildings are scheduled to be completed in two phases, with approximately 424,000 rentable square feet to be completed in 2009, and approximately 400,000 rentable square feet to be completed in 2010. Upon completion of construction, the Cranberry Woods Drive Buildings will be 100% leased to Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC, at rental rates to be determined based on total construction costs.

Three Glenlake Building

On August 10, 2007, Wells REIT II entered into an agreement to acquire a 95% interest in a 14-story office building located in Atlanta, Georgia (the “Three Glenlake Building”) for approximately $100.6 million. The Three Glenlake Building is newly constructed and has been pre-leased to Newell Rubbermaid, Inc., at rental rates to be determined based on final construction costs. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid an earnest money deposit of $10.0 million in 2007. On July 31, 2008, Wells REIT II closed on the acquisition of a 95% interest in the Three Glenlake Building. In connection with the acquisition, Wells REIT II assumed a $120.0 million investment in development authority bond and a

 

F-10


Index to Financial Statements

corresponding $120.0 million obligation under a capital lease (See Note 2). Wells REIT II also obtained a $25.0 million loan secured by the Three Glenlake Building. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points and matures on July 31, 2013; however, interest has effectively been fixed at 5.95% for the life of the loan through an interest rate swap agreement. Interest is due monthly; however, under the terms of the loan agreement, a portion of the debt service amounts will be added to the outstanding balance of the note over the term.

Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B

On October 2, 2007, Wells REIT II acquired 100% of Wells International RE II Limited (“Wells International”), a Cypriot corporation, for approximately $31.5 million. Wells International is party to a shared construction agreement with an unrelated third party for the development of a nine-story office tower in Moscow, Russia (“Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B”). Construction of Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B, which will contain approximately 136,000 rentable square feet, is expected to be completed in late 2008. Upon its completion, Wells International will acquire Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B for a purchase price of approximately $63.2 million. Wells International may owe additional purchase consideration calculated pursuant to an earnout agreement between Wells International and the third party developer based on the amount of qualified leases, as defined, to be procured for currently vacant space within two years of closing. As of June 30, 2008, Wells International has made earnest money deposits of $40.1 million. In connection with funding additional deposits for the future acquisition of the Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B, Wells REIT II entered into an unsecured, fixed-rate line of credit with Bank Zenit for 930.0 million Russian rubles (the “Bank Zenit Line of Credit”).

Foreign Currency Exchange Contract

In connection with the future acquisition of the Dvintsev Business Center-Tower B, Wells REIT II entered into a foreign currency exchange contract to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate. This contract obligates Wells REIT II to purchase 802.4 million Russian rubles at a fixed price of $0.04 per Russian ruble from September 2008 through March 2009.

Properties Under Contract

On May 30, 2008, Wells REIT II entered into a contract to acquire interests in two 14-story office buildings containing approximately 955,000 rentable square feet located on an approximate 3.0-acre tract of land in Atlanta, Georgia (the “Lindbergh Center Buildings”) for $285.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid a deposit of approximately $2.0 million to an escrow agent, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 1, 2008, Wells REIT II closed on the acquisition of the Lindbergh Center Buildings. In connection with acquiring the Lindbergh Center Buildings, Wells REIT II assumed a $250.0 million investment in development authority bond and a corresponding $250.0 million obligation under a capital lease (See Note 2).

On June 19, 2008, Wells REIT II entered into a contract to acquire two five-story office buildings containing approximately 315,000 rentable square feet located on an approximate 21.8-acre tract of land in Linthicum, Maryland (the “West Nursery Road Buildings”) for $97.6 million, exclusive of closing costs. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid a deposit of approximately $2.5 million to an escrow agent, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Wells REIT II will also assume a mortgage note of approximately $20 million secured by the West Nursery Road Buildings.

Obligations Under Capital Leases

Certain properties are subject to leases that meet the qualifications of a capital lease. Each of these obligations requires payments equal to the amounts of principal and interest receivable from related investments in development authority bonds, which mature in 2012 and 2013. The required payments under the terms of the leases are as follows as of June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

Economic Dependency

Wells REIT II has engaged Wells Capital and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT II, including asset management services, supervision of the property management and leasing of some properties owned by Wells REIT II, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of Wells REIT II’s common stock, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT II, including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT II is dependent upon Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS.

Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS are owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, Wells REIT II focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, Wells REIT II might be required to find alternative service providers.

Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by Wells REIT II and other WREF-sponsored programs, as well as dividend income earned from equity interests in another REIT. As of June 30, 2008, Wells REIT II believes that WREF is generating adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

In addition, WREF guarantees debt held by another WREF-sponsored product that is in the start-up phase of its operations equal to approximately $106.9 million as of July 31, 2008.

 

8. Subsequent Events

Renewal of Advisory Agreement

Effective July 1, 2008, Wells REIT II renewed its advisory agreement (the “Renewed Agreement”) with Wells Capital, after the existing advisory agreement, entered into effective April 24, 2008, expired on June 30, 2008. The Renewed Agreement is substantially the same as the agreement that remained in effect through June 30, 2008.

The Renewed Agreement includes a phased-in reduction of the asset management fee percentage. Through June 30, 2008 the monthly asset management fee was calculated based on an annualized fee of 0.75% of the adjusted cost of (i) all properties of Wells REIT II’s and (ii) investments in joint ventures. The Renewed Agreement requires payment of a monthly asset management fee based on an annualized fee of 0.75% of the adjusted cost of Wells REIT II’s properties and investment in joint ventures for the months of July, August, and September, 2008. Thereafter, the monthly asset management fee is based on an annualized fee of 0.625% of the adjusted cost of Wells REIT II’s properties and investments in joint ventures until the monthly payment equals $2,708,333.33 (or $32.5 million annualized). The monthly payment remains capped at that amount until the adjusted cost of Wells REIT II’s properties and investments in joint ventures is at least $6.5 billion, after which the

 

F-15


Index to Financial Statements

monthly asset management fee is based on an annualized fee of 0.5% of the adjusted cost of Wells REIT II’s properties and investments in joint ventures. However, the Renewed Agreement provides that the asset management fee related to the Lindbergh Center Buildings, which were acquired July 1, 2008, will immediately be 0.5%.

In addition to the reduction of the asset management fee percentage, the Renewed Agreement changes how the limit on asset management fees is calculated. Previously, the limit (1% of net asset value) was calculated quarterly. The Renewed Agreement requires a monthly calculation of net asset value. Under the Renewed Agreement, the aggregate asset management fee payable in any three-month period is limited to 0.25% of the average of the preceding three months’ net asset value calculations. In both cases, to the extent the payments exceed the limitation, the excess is credited against future asset management fee payments. Net asset value is calculated as the adjusted cost of Wells REIT II’s properties and investment in joint ventures less Wells REIT II’s outstanding debt (excluding debt borrowed for purposes other than acquiring, improving or refinancing investment properties).

All other material terms, including the services to be performed, the standard of performance, and the limitations on Wells Capital’s other activities remain unchanged.

Appointment of Independent Director

On July 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of Wells REIT II appointed John L. Dixon to serve as an independent director, which appointment filled a vacancy on the Board of Directors. Mr. Dixon will serve on the Conflicts Committee; the Board of Directors has not yet determined on what other committees of the Board of Directors Mr. Dixon will serve.

Also on July 23, 2008, the Board of Directors of Wells REIT II voted to reduce the size of the Board of Directors from ten members to eight. Following the appointment of Mr. Dixon, there are no vacant board positions.

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

From July 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008, Wells REIT II raised approximately $63.9 million through the issuance of approximately 6.4 million shares of common stock under its follow-on offering. As of July 31, 2008, approximately 91.8 million shares remained available for sale to the public under the follow-on offering, exclusive of shares available under Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc.

Atlanta, Georgia

We have audited the accompanying statement of certain operating expenses over revenues of the Lindbergh Center Buildings (the “Buildings”) for the year ended December 31, 2007. This statement is the responsibility of the Buildings’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Buildings’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Buildings’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of certain operating expenses over revenues was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Buildings’ revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of certain operating expenses over revenues referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the certain operating expenses and revenues described in Note 2 of the Buildings for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Statements of Certain Operating Expenses Over Revenues

1. Description of Real Estate Property Acquired

On July 1, 2008, Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”), through a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired two 14-story office buildings containing approximately 955,000 rentable square feet located on approximately 3.0 acres in Atlanta, Georgia (the “Buildings”), subject to a ground lease. The Buildings were acquired from Bellsouth Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Seller”). Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $285.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. In connection with acquiring the Buildings, Wells REIT II assumed a $250.0 million investment in a development authority bond and a corresponding $250.0 million obligation under a capital lease (see Note 6). Wells REIT II is a Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.

 

2. Basis of Accounting

The accompanying statements of certain operating expenses over revenues 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, certain interest and corporate expenses. Therefore, the statements will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the Buildings after their acquisition by Wells REIT II.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenues

The acquisition of the Buildings represents a sale-leaseback. AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T Services”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, Inc., occupies 100% of the Buildings. Prior to the acquisition of the Buildings by Wells REIT II, there was no lease in place for AT&T Services’ space. Therefore, no base rent or tenant reimbursements attributable to AT&T Services’ space is presented in the accompanying statement of certain operating expenses over revenues.

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

On July 1, 2008, Wells REIT II entered into a long-term lease agreement with AT&T Services for 100% of the Buildings’ rentable square footage. The AT&T Services lease has an approximate 12-year term. Under the terms of the AT&T Services lease, the tenant is required to reimburse all of the Buildings’ operating expenses to the landlord.

5. Future Minimum Rental Commitments

Future minimum rents related to the AT&T Services lease for the years ended December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

 

2008

   $ 9,948

2009

     20,032

2010

     20,306

2011

     20,584

2012

     20,866

Thereafter

     177,558
      
   $ 269,294
      

Subsequent to July 1, 2008, AT&T Services will contribute 100% of the future minimum rental income from the lease in place at that date.

 

6. Investment in Development Authority Bond and Obligation Under a Capital Lease

In connection with the acquisition of the Buildings, Wells REIT II assumed investments in a development authority bond and a corresponding obligation under a capital lease of the Buildings. The Fulton County Development Authority issued a bond to the developer to finance the initial development of the Buildings, which was then leased back to the developer under a capital lease. This structure enabled the developer to receive property tax abatements over the concurrent term of the development authority bond and capital lease. The remaining property tax abatement benefits, which expire in 2012, transferred to Wells REIT II upon assumption of the bond and corresponding capital lease. The related amounts of interest income and expense are recognized as earned in equal amounts and, accordingly, do not impact net income. The bond bears interest at 5.92% annually. Wells REIT II will acquire fee title to the Buildings upon exercise of an option to purchase contained in the capital lease. Wells REIT II is not likely to exercise the purchase option until the tax abatement benefits expire.

 

7. Ground Lease

During the year ended December 31, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008, fee title to the land on which the Buildings are situated was held by a third party, which leased the land to the Fulton County Development Authority, which, in turn, leased back to the Seller. The existing ground lease expires on July 31, 2030 and Wells REIT II holds options to renew the ground lease through July 31, 2099. Upon expiration of the ground lease, title to the Buildings will vest in the ground lessor. The Buildings recognized ground lease expense of approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and approximately $0.6 million (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Future minimum rental expense related to the ground lease for the years ended December 31 are as follows (in thousands):

 

2008

   $ 1,186

2009

     1,186

Summary of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements

This pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) included in this prospectus and the financial statements and notes of certain acquired properties included in various current reports previously filed on Form 8-K.

The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisitions of the Lindbergh Center Buildings and the Three Glenlake Building (the “Q3 2008 Acquisitions”) as if the acquisitions occurred on June 30, 2008. Other adjustments provided in the following unaudited pro forma balance sheet are comprised of certain pro forma financing-related activities, including, but not limited to, capital raised through the issuance of additional common stock through the acquisition date of the Three Glenlake Building and pay-down of acquisition-related debt subsequent to the pro forma balance sheet date.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisitions of the 13655 Riverport Drive Building, the 11200 West Parkland Avenue Building, the Lenox Park Buildings (the “Q1 and Q2 2008 Acquisitions”) and the Q3 2008 Acquisitions (collectively, the “2008 Acquisitions”) as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2007.

The following unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisitions of the One Century Place Building, the 120 Eagle Rock Building, the East Foothills Boulevard Buildings, the 7031 Columbia Gateway Drive Building, the 222 East 41st Street Building, the Bannockburn Lake III Building, the 1200 Morris Drive Building, the South Jamaica Street Buildings, the 25th Avenue West Buildings (the “2007 Acquisitions”) and the 2008 Acquisitions as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2007. The 3000 Park Lane Land, the Cranberry Woods Drive Land and the Three Glenlake Building had no operations during the year ended December 31, 2007 and, accordingly, have not been included in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements are prepared for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future results or of actual results that would have been achieved had the 2007 Acquisitions and the 2008 Acquisitions been consummated as of January 1, 2007. In addition, the pro forma balance sheet includes pro forma allocations of the purchase price based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the Q3 2008 Acquisitions. These allocations may be adjusted in the future upon finalization of these preliminary estimates.
