CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the “Partnership”) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” or other similar words. Specifically, we consider, among others, statements concerning future operating results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of any future distributions to limited partners to be forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, and provide distributions to partners, may be significantly hindered. See Item 1A in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Wells Real Estate Fund V, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. (“Wells Partners”), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership, serving as its general partners (collectively, the “General Partners”). Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”) serves as the corporate general partner of Wells Partners. Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the president, sole director, and sole owner of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. The Partnership was formed on October 25, 1990 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing properties for investment purposes. The Partnership has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B Units. Class B limited partners shall have a one-time right to elect to have all of their units treated as Class A Units. Limited partners may vote to, among other things, (a) amend the partnership agreement, subject to certain limitations; (b) change the business purpose or investment objectives of the Partnership; and (c) add or remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the above-described matters will bind the Partnership, without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partner unit has equal voting rights, regardless of class.

On March 6, 1992, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $25,000,000 of Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 125,000 units on April 27, 1992. The offering was terminated on March 3, 1993, at which time the Partnership had sold approximately 1,520,967 Class A Units and 179,635 Class B Units representing capital contributions of $17,006,020.

The Partnership owns interests in all of its real estate assets through joint ventures with other entities affiliated with the General Partners. During the periods presented, the Partnership owned interests in the following joint ventures (the “Joint Ventures”) and property:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and in accordance with such rules and regulations, 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 the General Partners, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary to fairly and consistently present the results for those periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Partnership’s policy is to adopt the liquidation basis of accounting once the liquidation of the properties owned through its interest in the Joint Ventures is imminent, which the Partnership has defined as beginning on the first day of the quarter following the completion of the sale of all real estate assets. Accordingly, the Partnership will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting effective July 1, 2006. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets and liabilities are stated at their estimated net realizable values and net settlement amounts, respectively, and are periodically reviewed and adjusted. As the Partnership no longer has continuing real estate operations, the Partnership will no longer be required to present statements of operations or statements of cash flows following the adoption the liquidation basis of accounting beginning with the Form 10-Q filed for the period ended September 30, 2006.

Investment in Joint Ventures

The Partnership has evaluated the Joint Ventures and concluded that none are variable interest entities under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which supersedes FIN 46 and is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of the Joint Ventures; however, it does exercise significant influence. Approval by the Partnership as well as the other joint venture partners is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Ventures, or their real property investments. Accordingly, upon applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, ARB No. 51, and Statement of Position No. 78-9, Accounting for Investments In Real Estate Ventures, the Partnership accounts for its investments in the Joint Ventures using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for contributions, distributions, and net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreements, all income (loss) and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations, if available, are generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

Other Assets

As of June 30, 2006, other assets is comprised primarily of interest income receivable.

Distribution of Net Cash from Operations

Net cash from operations, if available, is generally distributed to limited partners quarterly. In accordance with the partnership agreement, such distributions are paid first to limited partners holding Class A Units until they

 

Page 10


Table of Contents

have received a 10% per annum return on their adjusted capital contributions, as defined. Additional cash available for distribution is then paid first to the General Partners until they have received an amount equal to 10% of distributions. Any remaining cash available for distribution is to be allocated between the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners on a basis of 90% and 10%, respectively. No distributions of net cash from operations will be made to the limited partners holding Class B Units.

Distribution of Sale Proceeds

Upon the sale of properties, unless reserved, net sale proceeds are distributed in the following order:

 

   

In the event that the particular property sold is sold for a price that is less than its original property purchase price, to the limited partners holding Class A Units until they have received an amount equal to the excess of the original property purchase price over the price for which the property was sold, limited to the amount of depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions taken by the limited partners holding Class B Units with respect to such property;

 

   

To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received 100% of their respective adjusted capital contribution, as defined;

 

   

To limited partners holding Class B Units on a per-unit basis until such limited partners have received an amount equal to the net cash available for distribution received by the limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis;

 

   

To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until they have received a cumulative 10% per annum return on their respective adjusted capital contribution, as defined;

 

   

To limited partners holding Class B Units on a per-unit basis until such limited partners have received a cumulative 15% per annum return on their respective adjusted capital contribution, as defined;

 

   

To the General Partners until they have received 100% of their respective capital contributions, as defined; and

 

   

Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and 20% to the General Partners.

Liquidating Distributions

Liquidating distributions will be made to the limited partners following the sale of substantially all of the real estate assets in which the Partnership owns interests. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, after satisfying all debts and liabilities and establishing reserves deemed reasonably necessary in the sole discretion of the General Partners, liquidating distributions will be allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective positive tax capital balances, as adjusted for allocations of gain or loss on sale of properties.

Allocations of Net Income, Net Loss, and Gain on Sale

For the purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreements, net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery and the gain on the sale of assets. Net income, as defined, of the Partnership is generally allocated each year in the same proportions that net cash from operations is distributed to the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners. To the extent the Partnership’s net income in any year exceeds net cash from operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partners.

Net loss, depreciation, and amortization deductions for each fiscal year will be allocated as follows: (a) 99% to the limited partners holding Class B Units and 1% to the General Partners until their capital accounts are reduced to zero; (b) then, to any partner having a positive balance in his capital account in an amount not to exceed such positive balance; and (c) thereafter, to the General Partners.

 

Page 11


Table of Contents

Gain on the sale or exchange of the Partnership’s properties will be allocated generally in the same manner that the net proceeds from such sale are distributed to partners after the following allocations are made, if applicable: (a) allocations made pursuant to a qualified income offset provision in the Partnership agreement; (b) allocations to partners having negative capital accounts until all negative capital accounts have been restored to zero; and (c) allocations to Class B limited partners in amounts equal to deductions for depreciation and amortization previously allocated to them with respect to the specific partnership property sold, but not in excess of the amount of gain on sale recognized by the Partnership with respect to the sale of such property.

Reclassifications

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

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management and Leasing Fees

The Partnership entered into a property management, leasing, and asset management agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners. Accordingly, Wells Management receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties owned through the Joint Ventures, equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services, plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arm’s-length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties or (b) in the case of commercial properties leased on a long-term net basis (ten or more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues over the first five years of the lease term. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income (loss) of joint ventures in the accompanying statements of operations. The Partnership’s share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint Ventures is $5,793 and $810 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $11,204 and $642 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Administration Reimbursements

Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of Wells Partners, one of the Partnership’s general partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on estimates of the amount of time spent on the respective entities by individual personnel. In the opinion of the General Partners, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. The Partnership reimbursed Wells Capital and Wells Management for administrative expenses of $14,258 and $19,573 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $30,097 and $38,755 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition, Wells Capital pays for certain operating expenses of the Partnership (“bill-backs”) directly and invoices the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the due to affiliates balances represent administrative reimbursements and bill-backs due to Wells Management and/or Wells Capital.

Economic Dependency

We have engaged Wells Capital and Wells Management to provide certain essential services, including supervision of the management and leasing of our properties, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities for us including accounting services and investor communications and relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.

Wells Capital and Wells Management are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of Wells Capital and Wells Management represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF was to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we 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 from the sale of common stock for certain WREF-sponsored programs and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs. As of June 30, 2006, the General Partners believe that WREF generates 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership and its General Partners are from time to time a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Partnership is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonable likely to have a material adverse effect on results of operations or financial condition. The Partnership is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I, as well as the notes to our financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Overview

Management believes that the Partnership typically operates through the following five key life cycle phases. The duration of each phase is dependent upon various economic, industry, market, and other internal/external factors. Some overlap naturally exists in the transition from one phase to the next.

 

   

Fundraising phase

The period during which the Partnership is raising capital through the sale and issuance of limited partner units to the public;

 

   

Investing phase

The period during which the Partnership invests the capital raised during the fundraising phase, less upfront fees, into the acquisition of real estate assets;

 

   

Holding phase

The period during which the Partnership owns and operates its real estate assets during the initial lease terms of the tenants;

 

   

Positioning-for-sale phase

The period during which the leases in place at the time of acquisition expire and, thus, the Partnership expends time, effort, and funds to re-lease such space to existing and/or new tenants. Following the holding phase, the Partnership continues to own and operate the real estate assets, evaluate various options for disposition, and market the real estate assets for sale; and

 

   

Disposition-and-liquidation phase

The period during which the Partnership sells its real estate investments, distributes net sale proceeds to the partners, liquidates, and terminates the Partnership.

Portfolio Overview

We are in the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. With the sale of 10407 Centurion Parkway North in the second quarter of 2006, we have now sold all of the real estate assets in which we owned interests. We are planning to conclude all of the Partnership’s activities and dissolve the Partnership by the end of the year.

Having sold all of the real estate assets within the portfolio, the General Partners are currently reserving operating cash and a portion of net sale proceeds to fund anticipated costs necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Due to a reduction in operating cash flow resulting from recent property sales, operating distributions to limited partners will continue to be reserved. The General Partners have announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds from the sales of the Marathon Building and 10407 Centurion Parkway North of approximately $6,200,000 in November 2006. In addition, our General Partners intend to make a final liquidating distribution to the limited partners of any proceeds that are not required to fund final dissolution costs for the Partnership in December 2006. (See “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” below.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating strategy has entailed funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of the Joint Ventures’ properties and the portfolio with operating cash flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from the Joint Ventures, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund known future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Historically, residual operating cash flows were generally considered available for distribution to the Class A limited partners and, unless reserved, were generally paid quarterly. To the extent that operating cash flows have been insufficient to fund our recurring operations, net sale proceeds have been utilized. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash position has been critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources are available.

Short-Term Liquidity

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we used net operating cash flows of approximately $71,000, compared to using net operating cash flows of approximately $65 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The 2006 increase in net operating cash flows used is primarily attributable to a corresponding reduction in operating distributions received from the Joint Ventures described below and an increase in legal fees and printing costs as a result of increased reporting and regulatory requirements. Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures.

We have not received operating distributions from the Joint Ventures in 2006, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash flows resulting from the sales of properties in the current and previous periods. We expect operating distributions from Fund IV-V Associates to cease, as we have sold the last remaining asset in the current quarter. Future operating distributions to limited partners will be reserved as a result of having sold all of the real estate assets in which we owned interests.

We believe that the cash on hand is sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including liabilities of approximately $13,000, as of June 30, 2006.

Long-Term Liquidity

We have sold all of the real estate assets in which we owned interests and do not anticipate acquiring additional properties. Accordingly, we expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from net proceeds which have been generated from the sale of our properties.

Capital Resources

The Partnership is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating income-producing real properties or investing in joint ventures formed for the same purpose, and has invested all of the

 

Page 15


Table of Contents

partners’ original capital contributions. Thus, it is unlikely that we will acquire interests in any additional properties or joint ventures. Historically, our investment strategy has generally involved acquiring properties on an all-cash basis that are pre-leased to creditworthy tenants through joint ventures with affiliated partnerships.

Historically, the Joint Ventures funded capital expenditures primarily related to building improvements for the purpose of maintaining the quality of our properties, and tenant improvements for the purpose of readying our properties for re-leasing. As leases expired, the Joint Ventures would attempt to re-lease space to an existing tenant or market the space to prospective new tenants. Generally, tenant improvements funded in connection with lease renewals required less capital than those funded in connection with new leases. However, external conditions, such as the supply of and demand for comparable space available within a given market, drive capital costs as well as rental rates. Any capital or other expenditures not provided for by the operations of the Joint Ventures were required to be funded by the Partnership and respective joint venture partners on a pro-rata basis.

Operating cash flows, if available, were generally distributed from the Joint Ventures to the Partnership approximately one month following calendar quarter-ends. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flows until depleted, at which point operating reserves are utilized to fund capital and other required expenditures. In the event that current and prior period accumulated operating cash flows are insufficient to fund such costs, net property sale proceeds reserves would then be utilized.

As of June 30, 2006, we had received, used, distributed, and held net sale proceeds allocated to the Partnership from the sale of properties as presented below:

Upon evaluating the remaining obligations of the Partnership associated with its final dissolution, our General Partners have determined that reserves of net sale proceeds of approximately $560,000 will be required to fund the anticipated costs necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. Accordingly, our General Partners anticipate distributing net sale proceeds of approximately $6,200,000 in November 2006, as further described below. In addition, our General Partners intend to make a final liquidating distribution to the limited partners of any proceeds that are not required to fund final dissolution costs for the Partnership in December 2006.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In June 2006, our General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds from the sales of the Marathon Building and 10407 Centurion Parkway North of approximately $6,200,000 in November 2006 to the limited partners of record as of September 30, 2006, which, under the terms of the partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after June 30, 2006. Following such distribution, we would hold residual net sale proceeds of approximately $560,000 in reserve in order to fund the anticipated costs necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Partnership. In addition, our General Partners intend to make a final liquidating distribution to the limited partners of any proceeds that are not required to fund final dissolution costs for the Partnership in December 2006.

These distributions have not been formally declared by our General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, our General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary in the sole discretion of our General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution dates require our General Partners to reevaluate our reserve requirements, it is possible that these distributions may not occur, or that such distributions could be made at lower amounts.

Results of Operations

Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures

Equity in income (loss) of Joint Ventures was $1,263,491 and $37,543 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1,246,964 and $(19,160) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increases in equity in income of Joint Ventures for 2006, as compared to 2005, are primarily attributable to (i) the gain recognized on the sale of 10407 Centurion Parkway North in the second quarter of 2006, partially offset by (ii) a decrease in operating income from the aforementioned sale.

We expect equity in income of Joint Ventures to decrease going forward as a result of a decrease in operating income due to having disposed of all assets within the portfolio.

Expenses

Our total expenses were $36,717 and $46,502 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, is primarily attributable to a decline in administrative costs relative to the decrease in the size of the portfolio as a result of the sales of properties.

Our total expenses were $82,498 and $82,988 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Expenses remained relatively stable for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to (i) a decline in administrative costs relative to the decrease in the size of the portfolio as a result of the sales of properties, partially offset by (ii) an increase in printing costs resulting from additional reporting and regulatory requirements.

We anticipate increases in our administrative costs and legal fees in future periods resulting from increased costs relating to dissolving the Partnership.

 

Page 17


Table of Contents

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $41,383 and $18,064 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $44,840 and $30,376 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The 2006 increases, as compared to 2005, are primarily due to (i) an increase in the average amount of net sale proceeds held during 2006 as a result of the net sale proceeds received from the sale of 10407 Centurion Parkway North, and (ii) an increase in the daily interest yield. Future levels of interest income will be largely dependent upon the timing of net sale proceeds distributions to the investors.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Summary

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 management’s 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.

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies used by the Partnership and the Joint Ventures, which are considered to be critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Investment in Real Estate Assets

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We have considered the period of future benefit in determining the appropriate useful lives of our real estate assets. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. We depreciated the real estate assets owned through the Joint Ventures during the periods presented over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings

   40 years

Building improvements

   5-25 years

Land improvements

   20 years

Tenant improvements

   Shorter of lease term of economic life

In the event that the Joint Ventures utilized inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, our net income (loss) would be misstated.

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

We continually monitored events and changes in circumstances that would have indicated that the carrying amount of the properties in which we had an ownership interest may not have been recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment were present which indicated that the carrying amount of the real estate asset may not have been recoverable, management assessed the recoverability of the real estate asset by determining whether the carrying value of the real estate asset would have been 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 did not exceed the carrying value, management adjusted the real estate asset to the fair value, as defined by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and recognized an impairment loss. Estimated fair value was calculated based on the following information, dependent upon availability, in order of preference: (i) recently quoted market price, (ii) market prices for

 

Page 18


Table of Contents

comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there was no impairment in the carrying value of the real estate assets owned through the Joint Ventures during the periods presented.

Projections of expected future cash flows required management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would have resulted in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flows and fair value, and could have resulted in the overstatement of the carrying value of the real estate assets owned through the Joint Ventures and net income of the Partnership.

Related-Party Transactions

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital and Wells Management, affiliates of our General Partners, and their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management, and their affiliates for asset management; the management and leasing of our properties; administrative services relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration; and incur the related expenses. See Note 4 to our financial statements included in this report for a description of these fees and expense reimbursements we have incurred.

Potential Tax Impact on Limited Partners Holding Class B Units – American Jobs Creation Act of 2004

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 added Section 470 to the Internal Revenue Code, which provides for certain limitations on the utilization of losses by investors that are attributable to leased property owned by a partnership having both taxable and tax-exempt partners such as the Partnership. If Section 470 were deemed to apply to the Partnership, passive losses allocable to limited partners holding Class B Units could only be utilized to offset passive income generated from the same property or potentially from properties owned by the same partnership. In March 2005, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) announced that the IRS would not apply Section 470 to partnerships for the taxable year 2004 based solely on the fact that a partnership had both taxable and tax-exempt partners, and in December 2005, the IRS extended the period for transitional relief through the 2005 tax year. In addition, pursuant to Section 403(ff) of the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, the effective date provisions regarding the applicability of Section 470 were amended to provide that, in the case of leased property treated as tax-exempt use property by reason of its being owned by a partnership having both taxable and tax-exempt partners, Section 470 will apply only to property acquired after March 12, 2004. Since the Partnership acquired all of its properties prior to March 12, 2004, and is not expected to acquire interests in any additional properties in the future, we do not believe that the provisions of Section 470 should apply to limit the utilization of losses attributable to the properties owned by the Partnership; however, due to the uncertainties and lack of guidance relating to this provision, it is unclear as to whether the acquisition of a limited partnership interest in the Partnership after the March 12, 2004 effective date may be deemed to be an acquisition of property within the meaning of the effective date provisions of Section 470.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Since we do not borrow any money, make any foreign investments, or invest in any market risk-sensitive instruments, we are not subject to risks relating to interest rates, foreign current exchange rate fluctuations, or the other market risks contemplated by Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, our corporate General Partner, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital

 

Page 19


Table of Contents

concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
