ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Wells Mid-Horizon Value-Added Fund I, LLC ("Wells VAF I") was organized as a Georgia limited liability company on July 15, 2005 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, and improving or otherwise enhancing income-producing commercial properties, and liquidating such investments over a period of three to five years following acquisition. The term of Wells VAF I shall continue until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the filing of a Certificate of Termination.

Wells Management Company, Inc. ("Wells Management") is the sponsoring member of Wells VAF I and has the exclusive authority to conduct the day-to-day and overall direction and supervision of the business and affairs of Wells VAF I pursuant to an operating agreement. Wells Management has contributed $1,000,000 to Wells VAF I for a subordinated interest therein. Wells Investment Management Company, LLC ("WIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Management, has been appointed by Wells Management to serve as the manager of Wells VAF I. In addition, Wells VAF I and WIM have entered into an agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"), under which WIM will perform certain key functions on behalf of Wells VAF I, including, but not limited to, the investment of capital proceeds and management of day-to-day operations.

On September 15, 2005, Wells VAF I commenced an offering of up to 150,000 shares of investor member interests under a private placement to qualified purchasers who meet the definition of "accredited investors," as provided in Regulation D of the Securities Act. Wells VAF I commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 10,000 shares of investor member interests on June 22, 2006. Its offering terminated on September 15, 2008, at which time Wells VAF I had sold approximately 51,854 shares of investor member interests resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $51,854,000. After deductions for payments of acquisition fees of approximately $1,037,000; selling commissions, discounts, and dealer-manager fees of approximately $2,852,000; and other offering expenses of approximately $259,000; Wells VAF I received net offering proceeds of approximately $47,706,000. As of October 31, 2008, all equity proceeds raised from the sale of investor member interests had been utilized to fund property acquisitions and capital expenditures. No public market exists for the shares of investor member interests and none is expected to develop.

Wells VAF I's investment policy includes, but is not limited to, acquiring properties with opportunities for value enhancement related to leasing or re-leasing available space, renovating or redeveloping properties, entering into leases with sub-investment-grade tenants at above market rates, and/or benefiting from favorable market conditions. Wells VAF I does not expect to make any additional investments in the future and its current focus is on enhancing the value of its remaining portfolio.
