CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-K of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the “Partnership” or the “Registrant”) 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-K, 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, provide dividends to stockholders, and maintain the value of our remaining real estate property, may be significantly hindered. Contained in Item 1A. are 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.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND III, L.P.

PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

General

Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. (“Wells Capital”), a Georgia corporation, serving as its general partners (collectively, the “General Partners”). Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the president, sole director, and sole owner of WREF. The Partnership was formed on July 31, 1988 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing, owning, operating, improving, leasing, and managing income-producing commercial properties for investment purposes. The Partnership has two classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and Class B Units. The 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 October 24, 1988, the Partnership commenced an offering of up to $50,000,000 of Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($1.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering was terminated on October 23, 1990, at which time the Partnership sold approximately 19,635,965 Class A Units and 2,544,540 Class B Units representing total limited partner capital contributions of $22,180,505, adjusted for the Partnership repurchase of 22,805 Class A Units and 3,000 Class B Units. Since the termination of the offering in 1990, the total number of outstanding Class B Units has decreased to 2,544,290 due to the rescission of certain units.

Operating Phases and Objectives

The Partnership typically operates in the following five life-cycle phases and, during which, typically focuses on the following key operating objectives. 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.

Page 3

Index to Financial Statements

We are in the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. Our focus on the remaining asset involves marketing efforts that are believed to result in the best disposition pricing for the limited partners.

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of Wells Capital and Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners, perform a full range of real estate services for the Partnership including leasing and property management, accounting, asset management, and investor relations. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a summary of the fees paid to the General Partners or their affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Insurance

Wells Management carries comprehensive liability and extended coverage with respect to the remaining property we own through our interest in Fund II and III Associates. In the opinion of management, our property is adequately insured.

Competition

We will experience competition for tenants from owners and managers of competing projects which may include the General Partners or their affiliates. As a result, in connection with negotiating leases, we may offer rental concessions, reduced charges for tenant improvements, and other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on results of operations. We are also in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for its property.

Economic Dependency

The Partnership has engaged Wells Capital and Wells Management to provide certain essential services, including supervision of the management and leasing of its remaining property, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities, 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, the Partnership is dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.

Wells Capital and Wells Management are all owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital and Wells Management represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, the Partnership focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, the Partnership 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 well as anticipated dividend income earned from its holdings of common stock of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (“Piedmont REIT”), which was acquired in connection with the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction (see Assertion of Legal Actions Against Related-Parties below). In addition, WREF guarantees debt of another WREF-sponsored product which was in the amount of approximately $59.0 million as of February 28, 2009. 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 other investments necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

The Partnership is also dependent upon the ability of its current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as they become due. The inability of a tenant to pay future rental amounts would be likely to have a negative impact

Page 4

Index to Financial Statements

on the Partnership’s results of operations. The Partnership is not currently aware of any reason why its existing tenants will not be able to pay their contractual rental amounts as they become due in all material respects. Situations preventing the tenants from paying contractual rents could result in a material adverse impact on the Partnership’s results of operations.

Assertion of Legal Actions Against Related-Parties

On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of 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, our property manager; certain affiliates of 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 certain defenses to the second amended complaint. On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. The defendants responded to the plaintiff’s motion for class certification on January 16, 2009. The plaintiff filed its reply in support of its motions for class certification on February 19, 2009. The motion for class certification is currently pending before the court. 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

Page 5

Index to Financial Statements

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 responded to the defendants’ motion to dismiss this lawsuit. A hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on February 22, 2008. On March 13, 2008, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On April 11, 2008, the plaintiffs filed a notice to appeal the Court’s judgment granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On February 9, 2009, the Georgia Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming the Court’s judgment granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs did not file a notice of intention to apply for certiorari in the Georgia Supreme Court by their deadline of February 23, 2009.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Risk Related to Current Economic Conditions

Current economic conditions and turmoil in the credit markets have caused, and will likely continue to cause, market rental rates and property values to decline, may impede disposition of our remaining property at commercially reasonable terms, and have had, and will likely continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Current economic conditions, the availability and cost of credit, the mortgage market, and declining real estate markets have contributed to increased volatility, lower real estate values, and diminished expectations for real estate markets and the economy as a whole. Many economists are predicting continued significant deterioration in economic conditions in the United States for 2009, along with significant increases in unemployment and vacancy rates at commercial properties. As a result, current economic conditions and the credit crisis have caused, and will likely continue to cause, commercial real estate values and market rental rates to decline significantly. Our estimated unit valuations as of December 31, 2008 have declined from their prior year levels, and are expected to continue to decline in the upcoming year. Deteriorating economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of one or more of our tenants to honor their lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms as leases expire or as space otherwise becomes vacant at our remaining property. While we do not anticipate the need to access the credit markets, the impact of the current crisis in the credit markets may adversely affect the ability of potential purchasers of our remaining property to obtain financing. Therefore, this may affect our timing and/or ability to sell our remaining property at commercially reasonable terms. The current economic conditions and the difficulties currently being experienced in the mortgage and real estate markets have adversely affected our business model, financial condition, results of operations, and the valuation of our units. We do not expect that the difficult conditions in the mortgage and real estate markets are likely to improve in the near future. A worsening of these conditions would exacerbate the adverse effects that the current market environment has had on us and on commercial real estate in general.

Page 6

Index to Financial Statements

Real Estate Risks

Economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market generally may cause our operating results to suffer and decrease the value of our remaining real estate property.

Our operating results will be subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of real estate, including:

•

changes in general or local economic conditions;

•

changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing properties in an area;

•

changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds, which may render the sale of a property difficult or unattractive;

•

changes in tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws; and

•

periods of high interest rates and tight money supply.

These and other reasons may prevent us from being profitable or from realizing growth or maintaining the value of our remaining real estate property.

General economic conditions may affect the timing of sale of our remaining property and the sale price we receive.

We may be unable to sell our remaining property if or when we decide to do so. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, the availability of financing, interest rates, and other factors, including supply and demand for real estate investments, all of which are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell our remaining property for the price or on terms which are acceptable to us. Further, we cannot predict the length of time which will be needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of our remaining property.

Adverse economic conditions in the geographic region in which we own the remaining property may negatively impact your overall returns.

Adverse economic conditions in the geographic region in which we own the remaining property could affect the real estate values in this area or the business of our tenants if our tenants rely upon the local economy for their revenues. Therefore, changes in local economic conditions could reduce our income and distributions to limited partners or the amounts we could otherwise receive upon the sale of our remaining property in a negatively affected region.

Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of our tenants of our property may negatively impact your overall returns.

Adverse economic conditions affecting the particular industry of our tenants could affect the financial ability of our tenants to make payments under their leases, which could cause delays in our receipt of rental revenues or a vacancy in our property for a period of time. Therefore, changes in economic conditions of the particular industry of our tenants could reduce our income and distributions to limited partners and the value of our property at the time of sale of such property.

We are dependent on our tenants for substantially all of our revenue, so our success is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.

The 2100 Space Park Drive property is occupied by only a few tenants and, therefore, the success of our investment is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants. Lease payment defaults by our tenants could cause us to reduce or reserve the amount of distributions to holders of Class A Units. A default of a

Page 7

Index to Financial Statements

tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue from our property. In the event of a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property. If a lease is terminated, we cannot assure you that we will be able to lease our property for the rent previously received or sell our property without incurring a loss.

Vacancy at our remaining property could reduce or eliminate future cash distributions to the limited partners.

We have spent substantial funds on tenant improvements and other costs necessary to re-lease previously vacant space at 2100 Space Park Drive, which is currently 71% leased. If we are unable to sell this property in its current condition and if this property remains partially vacant for a prolonged period of time, property earnings would suffer and we would be required to continue to reserve cash otherwise available for operating distributions to the limited partners. In addition, the residual values of this property would be negatively impacted by vacancy because market values are largely dependent upon the value of in-place leases.

Your investment in units is subject to greater risk because we lack a diversified property portfolio.

Because we own an interest in only one rental property, your investment in units is subject to a greater risk of loss. There is a greater risk that you will lose money in your investment because our portfolio is not diverse by geographic location, property type, or industry group of tenants.

Our future financial success primarily depends on only a few tenants.

The revenues generated by our tenants are substantially reliant upon the financial condition of our tenants and, accordingly, any event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or a general downturn in the business of our tenants may result in the failure or delay of such tenants’ rental payments, which may have a substantial adverse effect on our financial performance.

We depend on our tenants for our revenue. Accordingly, lease terminations and/or tenant default could reduce our net income and limit our ability to make distributions to our limited partners.

The success of our investments materially depends on the financial stability of our tenants. A default or termination by a significant tenant on its lease payments to us would cause us to lose the revenue associated with such lease and require us to find an alternative source of revenue. In the event of a tenant default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-letting our property. If significant leases are terminated or defaulted upon, we may be unable to lease our remaining property for the rent previously received or sell our property without incurring a loss. These events could cause us to reduce the amount of distributions to limited partners.

If our tenants file for bankruptcy, we may be precluded from collecting all sums due.

If one or more of our tenants, or the guarantor of a tenant’s lease, commences, or has commenced against it, any proceeding under any provision of the federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other legal or equitable proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation, receivership, or debtor’s relief statute or law (bankruptcy proceeding), we may be unable to collect sums due under relevant leases. Our tenants, or a guarantor of a tenants’ lease obligations, could be subject to a bankruptcy proceeding. Such a bankruptcy proceeding may bar our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from these entities or their properties, unless we are able to obtain an enabling order from the bankruptcy court. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would only have a general unsecured claim against the tenant, and may not be entitled to any further payments under the lease. A tenant’s or lease guarantor’s bankruptcy proceeding could hinder or delay efforts to collect past-due balances under relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. Such an event could cause a decrease or cessation of rental payments, which would result in a reduction in our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to limited partners holding Class A Units. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, we

Page 8

Index to Financial Statements

cannot assure you that the tenant or its trustee will assume our lease. If a given lease, or guaranty of a lease, is not assumed, our cash flow and the amounts available for distribution to limited partners holding Class A Units may be adversely affected.

We may not have funding for future tenant improvements, which may reduce your returns and make it difficult to attract one or more new tenants.

When a tenant at our property does not renew its lease or otherwise vacates its space in our building, it is likely that in order to attract one or more new tenants, we will be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to the vacated space and other lease-up costs. Substantially all of our net offering proceeds available for investment have been used for investment in Partnership properties, and we do not anticipate that we will maintain permanent working capital reserves. We also have not identified a funding source to provide funds which may be required in the future for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, and other lease-up costs in order to attract new tenants. We cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. In the event that we are required to use net cash from operations to fund such tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, and other lease-up costs, cash distributions to limited partners holding Class A Units will be reduced or eliminated for potentially extended periods of time.

A vacancy at our property could be difficult to sell or lease.

Our property may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. Our property may be leased to a single tenant and/or may be specifically suited to the particular needs of a certain tenant based on the type of business the tenant operates. If a vacancy on our property continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash to be distributed to investors holding Class A Units. In addition, the resale value of our property could be diminished because the market value of this property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our net income.

Our General Partners will attempt to obtain adequate insurance on our property to cover casualty losses. However, there are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution, or environmental matters that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential terrorism acts could sharply increase the premiums we pay for coverage against property and casualty claims. We may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If our property incurs a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of our asset will be reduced by such uninsured loss. In addition, other than reserves of net cash from operations we may establish, we have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured damaged property. Also, to the extent we must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, we could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to limited partners.

Uncertain market conditions and the broad discretion of our General Partners relating to the future disposition of our property could adversely affect the return on your investment.

We generally will hold our remaining property in which we are invested until such time as the General Partners determine that the sale or other disposition thereof appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until the sale of the property is warranted even if it appears that such objectives will not be met. Our General Partners may exercise their discretion as to whether and when to sell our property, and we will have no obligation to sell our property at any particular time, except upon the termination of the Partnership as specified in the partnership agreement, or earlier if a majority of you vote to liquidate the Partnership pursuant to a formal proxy to liquidate. We cannot predict with any certainty the various market conditions affecting real estate investments which will exist at any particular time in the future. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions which may affect the future disposition of our property, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our

Page 9

Index to Financial Statements

property at a profit in the future. Accordingly, the timing of liquidation of the Partnership and the extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our real estate investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions.

If any environmentally hazardous material is determined to exist on the property owned by the Partnership, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. Environmental laws provide for sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our property, we may be potentially liable for such costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability, complying with environmental regulatory requirements, or remediating any contaminated property could materially adversely affect the business, assets, or results of operations of the Partnership and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to limited partners holding Class A Units.

The Partnership and/or other prior Wells public limited partnerships sponsored by our General Partners have sold real estate properties for a sale price less than the original purchase price.

Certain of the real estate properties previously purchased by the Partnership and other Wells public limited partnerships sponsored by the General Partners have not appreciated to the levels anticipated at the time of purchase. Recently some of these properties have been sold by such partnerships at purchase prices below the prices paid for such properties. We cannot guarantee that our property will appreciate in value.

General Investment Risks

The Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (“GRULPA”) does not grant you any specific voting rights, and your rights are limited under our partnership agreement.

A vote of a majority in interest of the limited partners is sufficient to take the following significant Partnership actions:

•

to amend our partnership agreement;

•

to change our business purpose or our investment objectives;

•

to remove our General Partners; or

•

to authorize a merger or a consolidation of the Partnership.

These are your only significant voting rights granted under our partnership agreement. In addition, GRULPA does not grant you any specific voting rights. Therefore, your voting rights are severely limited.

You are bound by the majority vote on matters on which you are entitled to vote.

You may approve any of the above actions by majority vote of the limited partners. Therefore, you are bound by such majority vote even if you do not vote with the majority on any of these actions.

Page 10

Index to Financial Statements

Under our partnership agreement, we are required to indemnify our General Partners under certain circumstances which may reduce returns to our limited partners.

Under our partnership agreement and subject to certain limitations, the Partnership is required to indemnify our General Partners from and against losses, liabilities, and damages relating to or arising out of any action or inaction on behalf of the Partnership done in good faith and in the best interest of the Partnership. If substantial and expensive litigation should ensue and the Partnership is obligated to indemnify one or both General Partners, we may be forced to use substantial funds to do so, which may reduce the return on your investment.

Payment of fees to our General Partners or their affiliates will reduce cash available for distribution to our limited partners.

Our General Partners or their affiliates perform services for us in connection with the management and leasing of our property in which we own an interest. Our affiliates may receive property management and leasing fees of 6.0% of gross revenues in connection with the commercial property we own. In addition, we will reimburse our General Partners and their affiliates for the administrative services necessary to our prudent operation, which includes actual costs of goods, services, and materials used for or by the Partnership. These fees and reimbursements will reduce the amount of cash available for capital expenditures to our property or distributions to our limited partners.

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, Wells Management and Wells Capital elected to defer the receipt of management and leasing fees and administrative reimbursements due from the Partnership either directly or through its interests in the Joint Ventures. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed aggregate management and leasing fees, through its interests in the Joint Ventures, to Wells Management of approximately $2,700, which is due from Fund II-III Associates and, accordingly included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed aggregate administrative reimbursements to Wells Management and Wells Capital of $20,731, which is included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets.

The availability and the timing of cash distributions are uncertain.

We cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to make distributions to you from either net cash from operations or proceeds from the sale of our remaining property. We bear all expenses incurred in connection with our operations, which are deducted from cash funds generated by operations prior to computing the amount of net cash from operations to be distributed to our general and limited partners. In addition, our General Partners, in their discretion, may retain all or any portion of net cash generated from our operations and/or proceeds from the sale of our remaining property for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, and other lease-up costs or for working capital reserves.

Gains and distributions upon sale of our remaining property are uncertain.

Although gains from the sale of properties typically represent a substantial portion of any profits attributable to real estate investments, we cannot assure you that we will realize any gains on the sale of our remaining property. In addition, the amount of taxable gain allocated to you with respect to the sale of a Partnership property could exceed the cash proceeds received from such sale. While the net proceeds from the sale of our property will generally be distributed to investors, the General Partners, in their sole discretion, may not make such distribution if such proceeds are used to:

•

purchase land underlying our property;

•

buy out the interest of any co-venturer or joint venture partner in our property which is jointly owned;

•

establish working capital reserves; or

•

make repairs, maintenance, tenant improvements, capital improvements, or other expenditures to our existing property.

We are uncertain of our sources for funding of future capital needs.

Substantially all of the gross proceeds of the offering were used to invest in properties and to pay various fees and expenses. In addition, we do not anticipate that we will maintain any permanent working capital reserves. Accordingly, in the event that we develop a need for additional capital in the future, such as the funding of tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, or other lease-up costs, we have not identified any sources for such funding, and we cannot assure you that any sources of funding will be available to us for potential capital needs in the future.

We may need to reserve net cash from operations for future tenant improvements, which may reduce your returns.

We may be required to expend substantial funds for tenant improvements and tenant refurbishments to vacated space and other lease-up costs. Substantially all of our net offering proceeds available for investment were used for investment in Partnership properties, and we do not anticipate that we will maintain permanent working capital reserves. We also have no identified funding source to provide funds which may be required in the future for tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, and other lease-up costs in order to attract new tenants. We cannot assure you that any such source of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future. In the event that we are required to use net cash from operations to fund such tenant improvements, tenant refurbishments, and other lease-up costs, cash distributions to limited partners holding Class A Units will be reduced or eliminated for potentially extended periods of time.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Partnership maintains bank accounts with high-credit, quality financial institutions, which are fully insured through December 31, 2009. Beginning in January 2010, our cash balances may at times exceed the federally insured limits.

Marketability and Transferability Risks

There is no public trading market for your units.

There is no public market for your units, and we do not anticipate that any public trading market for your units will ever develop. If you attempt to sell your units, you would likely do so at substantially discounted prices on the secondary market. Further, our partnership agreement restricts our ability to participate in a public trading market or anything substantially equivalent to one by providing that any transfer which may cause us to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed void and shall not be recognized. Because classification of the Partnership as a “publicly traded partnership” may significantly decrease the value of your units, our General Partners intend to use their authority to the maximum extent possible to prohibit transfers of units which could cause us to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership.”

Your units have limited transferability and lack liquidity due to restrictions under state regulatory laws and our partnership agreement.

You are limited in your ability to transfer your units. Our partnership agreement and certain state regulatory agencies have imposed restrictions relating to the number of units you may transfer. In addition, the suitability standards applied to you upon the purchase of your units may also be applied to persons to whom you wish to transfer your units. Accordingly, you may find it difficult to sell your units for cash or if you are able to sell your units, you may have to sell your units at a substantial discount. You may not be able to sell your units in the event of an emergency, and your units are not likely to be accepted as collateral for a loan.

Our estimated unit valuations should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners’ units.

The estimated unit valuations contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners’ units, what limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Partnership’s property, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Partnership’s property was sold and the proceeds distributed in a liquidation of the Partnership. There is no established public trading market for the Partnership’s limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. We did not obtain any third-party appraisals of our property in connection with these estimated unit valuations. In addition, our property value is subject to change and could decline in the future. The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only, and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. It also should be noted that, as the remaining property is sold and the net proceeds from the property sale are distributed to limited partners, the remaining value of the Partnership’s property, and resulting value of Partnership’s limited partnership units will naturally decline.

Special Risks Regarding Status of Units

If you hold Class A Units, we expect that you will be allocated more income than cash flow.

Since limited partners holding Class A Units are allocated substantially all of the Partnership’s net income, while substantially all deductions for depreciation and other tax losses are allocated to limited partners holding Class B Units, we expect that those of you who hold Class A Units will be allocated taxable income in excess of your cash distributions. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be available for distribution in any year.

The desired effect of holding Class A Units or Class B Units may be reduced depending on how many investors hold each type of unit.

You will be entitled to different rights and priorities as to distributions of cash flow from operations and net sale proceeds and as to the allocation of depreciation and other tax losses depending upon whether you are holding Class A Units or Class B Units, which is fixed at the end of the offering period. However, the effect of any advantage associated with holding Class A Units or Class B Units may be significantly reduced or eliminated, depending upon the ratio of Class A Units to Class B Units, which is fixed at the end of the offering period. We did not attempt to restrict the ratio of Class A Units to Class B Units sold during the offering period.

Management Risks

You must rely on our General Partners for management of our business.

Our General Partners make all decisions with respect to the management of the Partnership. Limited partners have no right or power to take part in the management of the Partnership, except through the exercise of limited voting rights. Therefore, you must rely almost entirely on our General Partners for management of the Partnership and the operation of its business. Our General Partners may be removed only under certain conditions set forth in our partnership agreement. If our General Partners are removed, they will receive payment equal to the fair market value of their interests in the Partnership, as agreed upon by our General Partners and the Partnership or by arbitration if they are unable to agree.

Leo F. Wells, III has a primary role in determining what is in the best interests of the Partnership and its limited partners.

Leo F. Wells, III is one of our General Partners and is the president, treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, our other general partner. Therefore, one person has a primary role in determining what is in the best interests of the Partnership and its limited partners. Although Mr. Wells relies on the input of the officers and other

Page 13

Index to Financial Statements

employees of Wells Capital, he ultimately has the authority to make decisions affecting our Partnership operations. Therefore, Mr. Wells alone will determine the propriety of his own actions, which could result in a conflict of interest when he is faced with any significant decision relating to our Partnership affairs.

Our loss of, or inability to obtain, key personnel could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could limit our ability to make distributions.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of Leo F. Wells, III, Douglas P. Williams, and Randall D. Fretz, each of whom would be difficult to replace. We do not have employment agreements with Messrs. Wells, Williams, or Fretz, and we cannot guarantee that such persons will remain affiliated with us. If any of Wells Capital’s key personnel were to cease their affiliation with the Partnership, we may be unable to find suitable replacement personnel, and our operating results could suffer. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any person. We believe that our future success depends, in large part, upon the ability of our General Partners to hire and retain highly skilled managerial and operational personnel. If we lose, or are unable to obtain, the services of highly skilled personnel or do not establish or maintain appropriate strategic relationships, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of your investment may decline.

Our operating performance could suffer if Wells Capital incurs significant losses, including those losses that may result from being the general partner of other entities.

We are dependent on Wells Capital to conduct our operations; thus, adverse changes in the financial condition of Wells Capital, including changes arising from litigation or our relationship with Wells Capital, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio of investments. As a general partner in many Wells-sponsored programs, Wells Capital may have contingent liabilities for the obligations of such programs. Enforcement of such obligations against Wells Capital could result in a substantial reduction of its net worth. If such liabilities affected the level of services that Wells Capital could provide, our operations and financial performance could suffer. In addition, WREF, the sole stockholder of Wells Capital, currently guarantees certain debt of Wells Timberland REIT, Inc., a WREF-sponsored product that is in the start-up phase of its operations, which was equal to approximately $59.0 million as of February 28, 2009.

Our General Partners have a limited net worth consisting of illiquid assets which may affect their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Partnership.

The net worth of our General Partners consists primarily of interests in real estate, retirement plans, partnerships, and closely-held businesses and, in the case of Wells Capital, receivables from affiliated corporations and partnerships. Accordingly, the net worth of our General Partners is illiquid and not readily marketable. This illiquidity may be relevant to you in evaluating the ability of our General Partners to fulfill their financial obligations to the Partnership. In addition, our General Partners have significant commitments to the other Wells-sponsored programs.

Increases in our general and administrative operating expenses, including increased expenses associated with operating as a public company in the current regulatory environment, could limit our ability to make distributions.

Our general and administrative operating expenses have increased, and the regulatory environment has resulted in increases in our expenses related to operating as a public company. In addition, as we evolve through our Partnership life cycle, and sell the remaining property in our portfolio, our general and administrative operating expenses become a larger percentage in relationship to our operating cash flow and the value of our remaining property. Further, we bear all expenses incurred in connection with our operations, which are deducted from cash funds generated by operations prior to computing the amount of net cash from operations to be distributed to our limited partners. Therefore, as a result of the increased general and administrative operating expenses and

Page 14

Index to Financial Statements

increased percentage of such expenses, we cannot assure you that sufficient cash will be available to make future distributions to you from either net cash from our operations or proceeds from the sale of our remaining property.

Conflicts of Interest Risks

Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to time management which could result in lower returns on our investments.

Because our General Partners and their affiliates have interests in other real estate programs and also engage in other business activities, they could have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between our business and these other activities, which could affect operations of the Partnership. You should note that our partnership agreement does not specify any minimum amount of time or level of attention that our General Partners are required to devote to the Partnership.

Our General Partners will face conflicts of interest relating to the sale and leasing of our property.

We may be selling our remaining property at the same time as other Wells programs are buying and selling properties. We may have acquired or be selling our remaining property in a geographic area where other Wells programs own properties or are trying to sell properties, which could lower your return on your investment.

Investments in joint ventures with affiliates will result in additional risks involving our relationship with the co-venturer.

We have entered into joint ventures with affiliates. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with an investment in real estate, including, for example:

•

the possibility that our co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner in an investment might become bankrupt;

•

that such co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals which are, or which become, inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or

•

that such co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions or requests or contrary to our policies or objectives.

Actions by such a co-venturer, co-tenant, or partner might result in subjecting our property to liabilities in excess of those contemplated and may have the effect of reducing your returns.

Our General Partners will face various conflicts of interest relating to joint ventures with affiliates.

Since our General Partners and their affiliates control both the Partnership and other affiliates, transactions between the parties with respect to joint ventures between such parties do not have the benefit of arm’s length negotiation of the type normally conducted between unrelated co-venturers. Under these joint venture arrangements, neither co-venturer has the power to control the venture, and an impasse could be reached regarding matters pertaining to the joint venture, which might have a negative influence on the joint venture and decrease potential returns to you. In the event that a co-venturer has a right of first refusal to buy out the other co-venturer, it may be unable to finance such a buy-out at that time. It may also be difficult for us to sell our interest in any such joint venture or partnership or as a co-tenant in our property. In addition, to the extent that our co-venturer, partner, or co-tenant is an affiliate of our General Partners, certain conflicts of interest will exist.

Federal Income Tax Risks

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may challenge our characterization of material tax aspects of your investment in the Partnership.

An investment in units involves certain material income tax risks, the character and extent of which are, to some extent, a function of whether you hold Class A Units or Class B Units. We will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding any of the tax issues related to your units.

Investors may realize taxable income without cash distributions.

As a limited partner in the Partnership, you are required to report your allocable share of the Partnership’s taxable income on your personal income tax return regardless of whether or not you have received any cash distributions from the Partnership. For example, if you hold Class A Units, you will be allocated substantially all of our net income, defined in the partnership agreement to mean generally net income for federal income tax purposes, including any income exempt from tax, but excluding all deductions for depreciation and amortization and gain or loss from the sale of Partnership properties, even if such income is in excess of any distributions of cash from our operations. If you hold Class A Units, you will likely be allocated taxable income in excess of any distributions to you, and the amount of cash received by you could be less than the income tax attributable to the net income allocated to you.

We could potentially be characterized as a publicly traded partnership resulting in unfavorable tax results.

If the IRS were to classify the Partnership as a “publicly traded partnership,” we could be taxable as a corporation, and distributions made to you could be treated as portfolio income to you rather than passive income. We cannot assure you that we will not, at some time in the future, be treated as a publicly traded partnership due to the following factors:

•

the complex nature of the IRS rules governing our potential exemption from classification as a publicly traded partnership;

•

the lack of interpretive guidance with respect to such rules; and

•

the fact that any determination in this regard will necessarily be based upon events which have not yet occurred.

The IRS may challenge our allocations of profit and loss.

While it is more likely than not Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit will be allocated among our General Partners and our limited partners substantially in accordance with the allocation provisions of the partnership agreement, we cannot assure you that the IRS will not successfully challenge the allocations in the partnership agreement and reallocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit in a manner which reduces the anticipated tax benefits to investors holding Class B Units or increases the income allocated to investors holding Class A Units.

We may be audited and additional tax, interest, and penalties may be imposed upon you.

Our federal income tax returns may be audited by the IRS. Any audit of the Partnership could result in an audit of your tax return causing adjustments of items unrelated to your investment in the Partnership, in addition to adjustments to various Partnership items. In the event of any such adjustments, you might incur accountants’ or attorneys’ fees, court costs, and other expenses contesting deficiencies asserted by the IRS. You also may be liable for interest on any underpayment and certain penalties from the date your tax was originally due. The tax treatment of all Partnership items will generally be determined at the Partnership level in a single proceeding rather than in separate proceedings with each partner, and our General Partners are primarily responsible for contesting federal income tax adjustments proposed by the IRS. In this connection, our General Partners may

Page 16

Index to Financial Statements

extend the statute of limitations as to all partners and, in certain circumstances, may bind the partners to a settlement with the IRS. Further, our General Partners may cause us to elect to be treated as an “electing large partnership.” If they do, we could take advantage of simplified flow-through reporting of Partnership items. Adjustments to Partnership items would continue to be determined at the Partnership level, however, and any such adjustments would be accounted for in the year they take effect, rather than in the year to which such adjustments relate. Accordingly, our General Partners will have the discretion in such circumstances either to pass along any such adjustments to the partners or to bear such adjustments at the Partnership level, thereby potentially adversely impacting the holders of a particular class of units disproportionately to holders of the other class of units.

State and local taxes and a requirement to withhold state taxes may apply.

The state in which you reside may impose an income tax upon your share of our taxable income. Further, the state in which we own the remaining property may impose income taxes upon your share of our taxable income allocable to Partnership property located in that state or other taxes on limited partnerships owning properties in their states. Many states have implemented or are implementing programs to require partnerships to withhold and pay state income taxes owed by nonresident partners relating to income-producing properties located in their states, and we may be required to withhold state taxes from cash distributions otherwise payable to you. In the event we are required to withhold state taxes from your cash distributions, or pay other state taxes, the amount of the net cash from operations otherwise payable to you would be reduced. In addition, such collection and filing requirements at the state level may result in increases in our administrative expenses which would have the effect of reducing cash available for distribution to you. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisors with respect to the impact of applicable state and local taxes and state tax withholding requirements or other potential state taxes relating to an investment in our units.

Legislative or regulatory action could adversely affect investors.

In recent years, numerous legislative, judicial, and administrative changes have been made in the provisions of the federal income tax laws applicable to investments similar to an investment in our units. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure you that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a limited partner. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our units or on the market value or the resale potential of our property. You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on your investment in units and the status of legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our units.

Retirement Plan and Qualified Plan Risks

There are special considerations that apply to a pension or profit-sharing trust or an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) investing in units.

If you are investing the assets of a pension, profit-sharing, Section 401(k), Keogh, or other qualified retirement plan or the assets of an IRA in units, you should satisfy yourself that:

•

your investment is consistent with your fiduciary obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code;

•

your investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing your plan or IRA, including your plan’s investment policy;

•

your investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA;

•

your investment will not impair the liquidity of the plan or IRA;

Page 17

Index to Financial Statements

•

your investment will not produce “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA;

•

you will be able to value the assets of the plan annually in accordance with ERISA requirements; and

•

your investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

We may dissolve the Partnership if our assets are deemed to be plan assets or if we engage in prohibited transactions.

If our assets were deemed to be assets of qualified plans investing as limited partners, i.e., plan assets, our General Partners would be considered to be fiduciaries of such plans and certain contemplated transactions between our General Partners or their affiliates, and the Partnership may then be deemed to be “prohibited transactions” subject to excise taxation under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, if our assets were deemed to be plan assets, the standards of prudence and other provisions of ERISA applicable to plan fiduciaries would apply to the General Partners with respect to our investments. We have not sought a ruling from the U.S. Department of Labor regarding the potential classification of our assets as plan assets.

In this regard, U.S. Department of Labor Regulations defining plan assets for purposes of ERISA contain exemptions which, if satisfied, would preclude assets of a limited partnership such as ours from being treated as plan assets. We cannot assure you that our partnership agreement has been structured so that the exemptions in such Regulations would apply to us, although our General Partners intend that an investment by a qualified plan in units will not be deemed an investment in the assets of the Partnership. We can make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the consequences of an investment in our units by qualified plans in this regard. Plan fiduciaries are urged to consult with, and rely upon, their own advisors with respect to this and other ERISA issues which, if decided adversely to the Partnership, could result in qualified plan investors being deemed to have engaged in “prohibited transactions,” which would cause the imposition of excise taxes and co-fiduciary liability under Section 405 of ERISA in the event actions taken by us are deemed to be nonprudent investments or “prohibited transactions.”

In the event our assets are deemed to constitute plan assets or certain transactions undertaken by us are deemed to constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, and no exemption for such transactions is obtainable by us, the General Partners have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to all limited partners, but without the consent of any limited partner, to:

•

compel a termination and dissolution of the Partnership; or

•

restructure our activities to the extent necessary to comply with any exemption in the U.S. Department of Labor Regulations or any prohibited transaction exemption granted by the Department of Labor or any condition which the Department of Labor might impose as a condition to granting a prohibited transaction exemption.

Adverse tax consequences may result because of minimum distribution requirements.

If you hold units in an IRA or you intend to acquire units in a secondary market through your IRA, or if you are a custodian of an IRA or a trustee or other fiduciary of a retirement plan which is holding units or is considering an acquisition of units through a secondary market, you must consider the limited liquidity of an investment in our units as it relates to applicable minimum distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. If units are held and our property has not yet been sold at such time as mandatory distributions are required to begin to an IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant, Sections 408(a)(6) and 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code will likely require that a distribution-in-kind of the units be made to the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant. Any such distribution-in-kind of units must be included in the taxable income of the IRA beneficiary or qualified plan participant for the year in which the units are received at the fair market value of the units and taxes attributable thereto must be paid without any corresponding cash distributions from us with which to pay such income tax liability.

Page 18

Index to Financial Statements

Unrelated business taxable income (“UBTI”) may be generated with respect to tax-exempt investors.

We do not intend or anticipate that the tax-exempt investors in the Partnership will be allocated income deemed to be derived from an unrelated trade or business. Notwithstanding this, the General Partners do have limited authority to borrow funds deemed necessary:

•

to finance improvements necessary to protect capital previously invested in a property;

•

to protect the value of our investment in a property; or

•

to make our property more attractive for sale or lease.

Further, in the event we were deemed to be a “dealer” in real property, defined as one who holds real estate primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, the gain realized on the sale of our property which is allocable to tax-exempt investors would be characterized as UBTI.

Includes expiration of Hoyer Global (USA), Inc. lease (approximately 22,500 square feet).

Property Descriptions

The properties in which the Partnership owned an interest through the Joint Ventures during the periods presented are further described below:

2100 Space Park Drive

The 2100 Space Park Drive property is a four-story office building containing approximately 116,000 rentable square feet located on a 5.6-acre tract of land adjacent to the Johnson Space Center in metropolitan Houston, Texas. The entire rentable area of 2100 Space Park Drive was under a lease agreement with Boeing/Shuttle Division (“Boeing”). In December 2006, Boeing exercised the option to reduce the square footage by approximately 46% effective September 18, 2007, which consisted of the first two floors of the building. In September 2007, Boeing paid a termination fee equal to the unamortized leasehold costs incurred by the landlord. During the third quarter of 2007, Fund II-III Associates completed a lease amendment and temporary occupancy agreement with Boeing to lease back, in aggregate, approximately 4% of the building through March 31, 2008. After fulfilling the terms of the lease, Boeing vacated the space in March 2008.

In April 2008, Fund II-III Associates and Hoyer Global (USA), Inc. (“Hoyer”) entered into a lease agreement for approximately 19% of 2100 Space Park Drive that commenced in July 2008 and extends through December 2015. Hoyer has the right to extend the lease for up to two additional five-year periods. Under the terms of the lease, following a six-month rental abatement period that was fully absorbed in 2008, annualized base rent will be approximately $438,000 and is scheduled to increase by approximately $11,300 annually each January beginning in the eighteenth month of the lease. The annualized base rent in 2015 will be approximately $506,000.

In July 2008, Fund II-III Associates and Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed”) entered into a lease agreement for approximately 52% of 2100 Space Park Drive that commenced in October 2008 and extends

Page 20

Index to Financial Statements

through December 2013. Lockheed has the right to extend the lease for up to two additional five-year periods. Under the terms of the lease, following a three-month rental abatement period that was fully absorbed in 2008, annualized base rent will be approximately $1,046,000 and is scheduled to increase by approximately $30,000 in January 2011 and January 2012. The annualized base rent in 2013 will be approximately $1,106,000.

Brookwood Grill is an approximate 7,000-square-foot restaurant located in Roswell, Georgia. In September 1991, a lease agreement was entered into with the Brookwood Grill of Roswell, Inc. and was set to expire in 2012. On July 1, 2004, Fund II-III Associates and Fund II-III-VI-VII Associates sold Brookwood Grill and the Holcomb Bridge Property, described below, to an unrelated third party for an aggregate gross sales price of $9,500,000. As a result of the sale of Brookwood Grill, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $873,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $290,000.

Holcomb Bridge Property

The Holcomb Bridge Property consisted of two buildings leased to multiple tenants containing a total of approximately 49,500 square feet located in Roswell, Georgia. On July 1, 2004, Fund II-III Associates and Fund II-III-VI-VII Associates sold Brookwood Grill and the Holcomb Bridge Property, to an unrelated third party for an aggregate gross sales price of $9,500,000. As a result of the sale of the Holcomb Bridge Property, the Partnership was allocated a gain of approximately $174,000 and net proceeds of approximately $608,000.

Stockbridge Village Shopping Center

Stockbridge Village Shopping Center is a multi-tenant shopping center containing approximately 113,000 square feet located in Stockbridge, Georgia. On April 29, 2004, four affiliated joint ventures, including Fund III-IV Associates, sold five real properties, including the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center, to an unrelated third party for an aggregate gross sales price of $23,750,000. As a result of the sale of the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $6,879,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $2,666,000.

4400 Cox Road

4400 Cox Road is a two-story office building containing approximately 42,000 square feet located in Richmond, Virginia. Approximately 65% of 4400 Cox Road was leased to Apex Systems, Inc. (“Apex”) through 2015. The remainder of the building was leased to New York Life Insurance through 2014. On June 21, 2005, Fund III-IV Associates sold the 4400 Cox Road building to ASI Partners, LLC, which is the sole owner of Apex, the majority tenant, for a gross sale price of $6,500,000. As a result of the sale, the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,609,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $830,000.

PART II

ITEM 5.

MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP’S UNITS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS.

Summary

As of February 28, 2009, 19,635,965 Class A Units and 2,544,290 Class B Units held by a total of 2,163 and 241 limited partners, respectively, were outstanding. Capital contributions are equal to $1.00 per each limited partnership unit. The total number of Class B Units has decreased due to the rescission of certain units since the termination of the offering in 1990. A public trading market has not been established for the Partnership’s limited partnership units, nor is such a market anticipated to develop in the future. The partnership agreement provides the General Partners with the right to prohibit transfers of units under certain circumstances.

Unit Valuation

Because fiduciaries of retirement plans subject to ERISA and the IRA custodians are required to determine and report the value of the assets held in their respective plans or accounts on an annual basis, the General Partners are required under the partnership agreement to report estimated unit values each year in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The methodology to be utilized for determining such estimated unit values under the partnership agreement requires the General Partners to estimate the amount a unit holder would receive assuming that the Partnership’s property was sold at its estimated fair market value as of the end of the Partnership’s fiscal year, and the proceeds therefrom (without any reduction for selling expenses), plus the amount of net sale proceeds held by the Partnership at year-end from previous property sales, if any, were distributed to the limited partners in liquidation. The estimated unit valuations are intended to be an estimate of the distributions that would be made to limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units.

The General Partners of the Partnership recently completed their estimated unit valuations as of December 31, 2008. Utilizing the foregoing methodology, the General Partners have estimated the Partnership’s unit valuations, based upon their estimates of the property value as of December 31, 2008, to be approximately $0.16 per Class A Unit and $0.11 per Class B Unit, based upon market conditions existing in early December 2008. These estimates should not be viewed as an accurate reflection of the value of the limited partners’ units, how much limited partners might be able to sell their units for, or the fair market value of the Partnership’s property, nor do they necessarily represent the amount of net proceeds limited partners would receive if the Partnership’s property was sold and the proceeds were distributed in a liquidation of the Partnership. There is no established public trading market for the Partnership’s limited partnership units, and it is not anticipated that a public trading market for the units will ever develop. In addition, the property value is subject to change and could decline in the future. While, as required by the partnership agreement, the General Partners have obtained an opinion from The David L. Beal Company, an independent appraiser certified by the Member Appraisal Institute, to the effect that such estimates of value were deemed reasonable and were prepared in accordance with appropriate methods for valuing real estate, no actual appraisals were obtained due to the inordinate expense that would be involved in obtaining appraisals for the Partnership’s property.

The valuations performed by the General Partners are estimates only, and are based on a number of assumptions which may not be accurate or complete and may or may not be applicable to any specific limited partnership units. These estimated valuations assume, and are applicable only to, limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units. Further, as set forth above, no third-party appraisals have or will be obtained. For these reasons, the estimated unit valuations set forth above should not be used by or relied upon by investors, other than fiduciaries of retirement plans and IRA custodians for limited ERISA and IRA reporting purposes, as any indication of the fair market value of their units. In addition, it should be noted that ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA custodians may use estimated unit valuations obtained from other sources, such as prices paid for the Partnership’s units in secondary market trades, and that

Page 22

Index to Financial Statements

such estimated unit valuations may well be lower than those estimated by the General Partners using the methodology required by the partnership agreement.

It should also be noted that the Partnership is in the process of selling its property and that as the property is sold and the net proceeds from the property sales are distributed to limited partners, the resulting value of Partnership’s limited partnership units will naturally decline. In considering the foregoing estimated unit valuations, it should be noted that the Partnership has previously distributed net sale proceeds in the amount of $0.58 per Class A Unit and $0.55 per Class B Unit to its limited partners. These amounts are intended to represent the per-unit distributions received by limited partners who purchased their units directly from the Partnership in the Partnership’s original public offering of units.

Operating Distributions

Operating cash available for distribution to the limited partners is generally distributed on a quarterly basis. In accordance with the partnership agreement, such distributions are paid first to limited partners holding Class A Units until each has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contribution, as defined. Net cash from operations is then distributed to each limited partner holding Class B Units until each has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined. If any net cash from operations remains, the General Partners receive an amount equal to 10% of total net cash from operations distributed for such year. Thereafter, amounts are distributed 10% to the General Partners and 90% to the limited partners.

Operating cash distributions made to limited partners holding Class A Units during 2007 and 2008 are summarized below:


	Per Class A Unit
Operating Distributions for Quarter Ended	Total Operating Cash Distributed	Investment Income	Return of Capital
March 31, 2007	$62,520	$0.00	$0.00
June 30, 2007	$62,519	$0.00	$0.00
September 30, 2007	$62,519	$0.00	$0.00
December 31, 2007	$ 0	$0.00	$0.00
March 31, 2008	$ 0	$0.00	$0.00
June 30, 2008	$ 0	$0.00	$0.00
September 30, 2008	$ 0	$0.00	$0.00
December 31, 2008	$ 0	$0.00	$0.00

Operating distributions were accrued for accounting purposes in the quarter earned and paid to holders of Class A Units in the following quarter. No operating cash distributions were paid to holders of Class B Units or the General Partners during the years ended December 31, 2007 or 2008.

ITEM 7.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data presented in Item 6 and our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this report and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of this report.

Overview

Portfolio Overview

We are currently in the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. We have sold five assets with only one property remaining in the portfolio. The lease with Boeing, the sole tenant at 2100 Space Park Drive, expired on March 31, 2008. On April 24, 2008, Fund II-III Associates entered into a 90-month lease agreement with Hoyer to occupy approximately 19% of 2100 Space Park Drive. On July 3, 2008, Fund II-III Associates entered into a 63-month lease agreement with Lockheed to occupy approximately 52% of 2100 Space Park Drive. Our focus at this time involves concentrating on marketing efforts that we believe will ultimately result in the best disposition pricing of our remaining asset for our limited partners.

The General Partners have reserved operating distributions to the limited partners holding Class A Units since the fourth quarter of 2007 and anticipate continuing to reserve operating and net sale proceeds distributions as a

Page 24

Index to Financial Statements

result of funding our pro rata share of capital improvements and the re-leasing costs associated with the recently executed leases at 2100 Space Park Drive. Our General Partners anticipate continuing to reserve operating and net sale proceeds distributions primarily as a result of our intention to fund our pro rata share of the remaining capital improvements and re-leasing costs at 2100 Space Park Drive. Once the details surrounding the disposition efforts for 2100 Space Park Drive become known, our General Partners will evaluate if distributions of net sale proceeds are appropriate.

Property Summary

As we move further into the disposition-and-liquidation phase, we will continue to focus marketing the remaining property for sale. In doing so, our attention has shifted to locating a suitable buyer and negotiating a purchase-sale contract that will attempt to maximize the total return to our limited partners and minimize contingencies and our post-closing involvement with buyers.

Information relating to the properties owned, or previously owned, by the Partnership or its joint ventures is presented below:

•

The Greenville Center property was sold on September 30, 2002.

•

Stockbridge Village Shopping Center was sold on April 29, 2004.

•

Brookwood Grill was sold on July 1, 2004.

•

The Holcomb Bridge Property was sold on July 1, 2004.

•

The 4400 Cox Road property was sold on June 21, 2005.

•

The 2100 Space Park Drive property, located in Houston, Texas, is approximately 71% leased. We are currently marketing this property for sale.

Industry Factors

Our results continue to be impacted by a number of factors influencing the real estate industry.

General Economic Conditions and Real Estate Market Commentary

Management reviews a number of economic forecasts and market commentaries in order to evaluate general economic conditions and to formulate a view of the current environment’s effect on the real estate markets in which we operate.

As measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”), the U.S. economy’s growth decreased at a rate of 6.2% in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to preliminary estimates. For the full year of 2008, GDP increased 1.1% compared to a growth rate of 2.0% in 2007. The major contributors to negative GDP growth in the fourth quarter were decreases in exports, personal consumption expenditures, equipment and software, and residential fixed investment.

Real estate market fundamentals underlying the U.S. office markets deteriorated in 2008, particularly in the fourth quarter as evidenced by a vacancy rate of 14.5% for the fourth quarter compared to 12.6% vacancy a year ago. There was negative net absorption of 22 million square feet in the fourth quarter and negative 44.9 million square feet for the year, which is down from a positive absorption of 51.5 million square feet in 2007. Rents also declined as general economic conditions weakened.

Transaction volume was also down significantly in 2008. The volume of office properties selling for $5 million or more decreased to $54 billion in 2008, a 75% decrease from 2007 numbers. The large pricing gap between buyers and sellers and the lack of financing are generally cited as the major contributors. Average capitalization rates on office acquisitions increased 60 basis points in 2008. Central Business District sales in the fourth quarter were the weakest of the decade totaling only $3 billion, off 82% from fourth quarter 2007.

Page 25

Index to Financial Statements

With mounting corporate layoffs and the uncertain business environment, the office-space market is expected to remain sluggish in 2009. Though the depth of the downturn will vary across markets, every sector and metropolitan area will likely be impacted. Vacancy rates are expected to increase in 2009 with rents continuing their downward trend. Fortunately, though a substantial amount of space will be delivered in 2009, the credit crunch has cut off financing for many speculative office developments. Sales volume could pick up in 2009, especially in the second half of the year. We expect distressed sales to increase; thus, capitalization rates may continue to increase in 2009 as sellers come under more pressure to dispose of assets.

Impact of Economic Conditions on our Property

While some of the market conditions noted above may indicate expected changes in rental rates, the extent to which our property may be affected is dependent upon the contractual rental rates currently provided in existing leases at our remaining property. Additionally, the turbulence in the credit markets may adversely affect the ability of potential purchasers of our properties to obtain financing, which could affect our timing and/or ability to complete the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle.

Less diversified real estate funds that own fewer properties, such as the Partnership, and those with current vacancies or near-term tenant rollover, such as the Partnership, may face an increasingly challenging leasing environment. Further, the residual value may also be negatively impacted since market values are largely dependent upon the value of in-place leases.

From a valuation standpoint, it is generally preferable to either renew an existing tenant lease or re-lease the property prior to marketing it for sale. Generally, buyers will heavily discount their offering prices to compensate for existing or pending vacancies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating strategy entails funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of the remaining property owned by Fund II-III Associates and the portfolio with operating cash flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from Fund II-III Associates, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund known future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows are generally considered available for distribution to the Class A limited partners and, unless reserved, are generally paid quarterly. To the extent that operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund our recurring operations, net sale proceeds will be utilized. To the extent that net sale proceeds are not sufficient to fund our recurring operations, the General Partners are pursuing other funding options, which may include deferring the payment of administrative reimbursements and management and leasing fees to Wells Capital and Wells Management, a purchase money mortgage with a potential buyer, and/or infusion of cash by the General Partners. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash position is critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources are available. A prolonged economic downturn could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to honor their lease payments and, consequently, could impact our ability to fund the capital needs of our remaining property.

Short-Term Liquidity

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we generated net operating cash outflows, including distributions received from the Joint Venture, of approximately $44,000 as a result of absorbing rental abatements associated with 2008 leasing activity at 2100 Space Park Drive. Operating distributions from the Joint Venture are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. We expect operating distributions from the Joint Venture will decline in the near-term as a result of using cash otherwise available for distribution to fund our pro rata share of the remaining re-leasing costs and capital improvements for 2100 Space Park Drive. The extent of

Page 26

Index to Financial Statements

any future operating distributions paid to limited partners will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated from 2100 Space Park Drive, our expectations of future cash flows, and determination of near-term cash needs to fund our share of tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for the remaining property. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we invested a combination of operating cash reserves and net proceeds from the sale of properties of approximately $988,000 in Fund II-III Associates primarily to fund re-leasing costs and capital improvements at 2100 Space Park Drive.

We believe that the cash on hand, including net proceeds from the sale of properties, may not be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including funding our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs and capital improvements for 2100 Space Park Drive. Therefore, the General Partners are pursuing other funding options, which may include deferring the payment of administrative reimbursements and management and leasing fees to Wells Capital and Wells Management, a purchase money mortgage with a potential buyer, and/or infusion of cash by the General Partners.

Long-Term Liquidity

We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from net sale proceeds generated from the sale of the remaining property and the aforementioned funding options being pursued by the General Partners. Our future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, funding our share of tenant improvements, renovations, expansions, and other significant capital improvements necessary for the remaining property owned through Fund II-III Associates. Future cash flows from operating activities will be primarily affected by distributions received from Fund II-III Associates, which are dependent upon the net operating income generated by the remaining property, less reserves for known capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

The Partnership is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating income-producing real properties and has invested all of the partners’ original net offering proceeds available for investment. Thus, it is unlikely that we will acquire interests in any additional properties. Historically, our investment strategy has generally involved acquiring properties on an all-cash basis that are pre-leased to creditworthy tenants through the joint ventures with affiliated partnerships.

Fund II-III Associates incurs capital expenditures primarily related to building improvements for the purpose of maintaining the quality of our remaining property, and tenant improvements for the purpose of readying our remaining property for re-leasing. As leases expire, we typically 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 require 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 funded from the operations of Fund II-III Associates will be required to be funded by the Partnership and the other respective joint venture partners on a pro rata basis. In the event that the Partnership cannot fund its pro rata share of capital or other expenditures, the General Partners will consider other funding options, which may include deferring the payment of administrative reimbursements and management and leasing fees to Wells Capital and Wells Management, a purchase money mortgage with a potential buyer, and/or infusion of cash by the General Partners.

Operating cash flows, if available, are generally distributed from Fund II-III Associates to the Partnership following calendar quarter-ends. However, Fund II-III Associates will reserve operating distributions, or a portion thereof, as needed in order to fund known capital and other expenditures. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flow 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 not sufficient to fund such costs, net sale proceeds reserves would then be utilized. If net sale proceeds reserves are not sufficient to fund such costs, the General Partners will pursue other funding options previously mentioned.

Upon evaluating the capital needs of our remaining property in which we currently hold an interest, our General Partners have determined that substantially all of the undistributed net sale proceeds above will be required to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs and capital improvements at 2100 Space Park Drive.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2008 vs. the year ended December 31, 2007

Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Venture

Equity in income (loss) of Joint Venture is $(142,138) and $104,914 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The loss is primarily attributable to the following activities at the 2100 Space Park Drive property: (i) an overall decrease in rental income as a result of the Boeing lease expiration in March 2008, (ii) incurring clean-up costs as a result of Hurricane Ike, partially offset by (iii) an increase in rental income related to the recently executed leases with Hoyer and Lockheed.

We anticipate that equity in loss of Joint Venture will be lower in future periods as a result of incurring nonrecurring clean-up costs at 2100 Space Park Drive related to Hurricane Ike and re-leasing a portion of the vacant space at 2100 Space Park Drive in 2008.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $173,484 and $150,320 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees and administrative costs incurred in connection with reporting and regulatory requirements.

We anticipate additional increases in administrative expenses in future periods resulting from increased costs relating to compliance with additional reporting and regulatory requirements.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $24,189 and $59,261 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the average amount of cash held during the

Page 28

Index to Financial Statements

respective periods as a result of investing in Fund II-III Associates to fund our pro-rata share of re-leasing costs and capital improvements at 2100 Space Park Drive and a decline in the daily interest yield.

Future levels of interest income will be largely dependent upon the timing of future dispositions and distributions of net sale proceeds to the limited partners.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 vs. the year ended December 31, 2006

Equity in Income of Joint Ventures

Equity in income of the Joint Ventures was $104,914 and $63,584 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) lease termination income earned by Fund II-III Associates resulting from Boeing’s early lease termination in the third quarter of 2007, (ii) an increase in income earned by Fund II-III Associates due to an increase in operating expense reimbursements at 2100 Space Park Drive, (iii) Fund II-III Associates recognizing lease termination expense in the fourth quarter of 2006 as a result of Boeing exercising an option to reduce square footage effective in the third quarter of 2007, partially offset by (iv) a decrease in rental income from the aforementioned lease termination. The Joint Ventures bill tenants for operating expense reimbursements based on estimates, which are reconciled in the following calendar year based on actual costs incurred and the terms of the corresponding tenant leases.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at $150,320 and $147,961 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income remained relatively stable at $59,261 and $56,567 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Inflation

We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from our leases are the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are typically provisions in our tenants’ leases that are intended to help protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions typically 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, our leases may not readjust the reimbursement rates frequently enough to cover inflation.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

Page 29

Index to Financial Statements

Below is a discussion of the accounting policies used by the Partnership and Fund II-III Associates, 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 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 the Fund II-III Associates’ assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:


Buildings		40 years
Building improvements		5-25 years
Land improvements		20 years
Tenant improvements		Shorter of lease term or economic life

In the event that the Joint Ventures utilize inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, its net income would be misstated.

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest through investments in Fund II-III Associates may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale, do not exceed the respective assets’ carrying values, we adjust the real estate assets to the respective estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of any of our real estate assets held as of December 31, 2008.

Projections of expected future 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 future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of real estate assets held by Fund II-III Associates and net income of the Partnership.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital, Wells Management, an affiliate of our General Partners, or their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management, or 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 Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” for a description of these fees and reimbursements and amounts incurred and “Risk Factors – Conflicts of Interest” in Item 1A. of this report.

Potential Tax Impact for 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 initially provided 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 the limitations of Section 470 were applicable 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 Partnership. However, following the enactment of Section 470, the IRS issued a series of announcements applicable to taxable years 2004, 2005, and 2006, which had the effect of delaying the applicability of Section 470 to partnerships based solely on the fact that a partnership had both taxable and tax-exempt partners. In addition, Section 403(ff) of the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 amended the effective date provisions of Section 470 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 applies only to property acquired after March 12, 2004. Further, in December 2007, the Tax Technical Corrections Act of 2007 (the “2007 Technical Corrections Act”) was enacted. Section 407(c) of the 2007 Technical Corrections Act amended Section 470 to exempt partnerships having both taxable and tax-exempt partners from the application of Section 470 (with a limited exception applicable only to partnerships which could be reclassified as “leases” under the facts and circumstance of the transaction). These provisions of the 2007 Technical Corrections Act are effective as if they were included in the American Jobs Creation Act initially. 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, and as a result of the 2007 Technical Corrections Act, 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 in any year.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There were no disagreements with the Partnership’s independent public accountants during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

ITEM 9A(T).

CONTROL AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, one of our General Partners, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of December 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, which was completed as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2008 in providing a reasonable level of assurance that the 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

Page 31

Index to Financial Statements

assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer and effected by our management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

•

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Partnership;

•

provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or members of the Financial Oversight Committee; and

•

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes and conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and represented within the time periods required.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2008. To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management believes that our system of internal control over financial reporting met those criteria, and therefore our management has concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Partnership’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Partnership to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.

OTHER INFORMATION.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, all items required to be disclosed under Form 8-K were reported under Form 8-K.

PART III

ITEM 10.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT’S GENERAL PARTNERS.

Wells Capital

Wells Capital, our corporate general partner, was formed in April 1984. The executive offices of Wells Capital are located at 6200 The Corners Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092. Leo F. Wells, III is the sole Director and the President of Wells Capital. Wells Capital was organized under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, and is primarily in the business of serving as general partner or as an affiliate of the general partner in affiliated public limited partnerships (“Wells Real Estate Funds”). Wells Capital or its affiliates serves as the advisor to the Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. and Wells Timberland REIT, Inc. (collectively, “Wells REITs”), each of which are Maryland corporations. Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. qualifies as a real estate investment trust for tax purposes, and Wells Timberland REIT, Inc. intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust. In these capacities, Wells Capital performs certain services for Wells Real Estate Funds and the Wells REITs, including presenting, structuring, and acquiring real estate investment opportunities; entering into leases and service contracts on acquired properties; arranging for and completing the disposition of properties; and providing other services such as accounting and administrative functions. Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of WREF, of which Leo F. Wells, III is the sole stockholder.

Leo F. Wells, III

Mr. Wells, 65, who serves as one of our General Partners, is the president, treasurer, and sole director of Wells Capital, which is our corporate general partner. He is also the sole stockholder, president, and sole director of WREF, the parent corporation of Wells Capital, Wells Management, Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”), and Wells & Associates, Inc., a real estate brokerage and investment company formed in 1976 and incorporated in 1978, for which Mr. Wells serves as principal broker. He is also the president, treasurer, and sole director of:

•

Wells Management, our property manager;

•

Wells Asset Management, Inc.;

•

Wells & Associates, Inc.; and

•

Wells Development Corporation, a company he organized in 1997 to develop real properties.

Mr. Wells is the president and a director of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., which is a Maryland corporation that currently qualifies as a real estate investment trust for tax purposes. He is also the president of Wells Timberland REIT, Inc., which is a Maryland corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust. Mr. Wells is the president and chairman of Wells Total Return REIT, Inc.

Mr. Wells was a real estate salesman and property manager from 1970 to 1973 for Roy D. Warren & Company, an Atlanta-based real estate company, and he was associated from 1973 to 1976 with Sax Gaskin Real Estate Company. From 1980 to February 1985 he served as Vice President of Hill-Johnson, Inc., a Georgia corporation engaged in the construction business. Mr. Wells holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in economics from the University of Georgia. Mr. Wells is an inaugural sponsor of the Financial Services Institute.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the officers and directors of our general partner, and persons who own 10% or more of any class of equity interests in the Partnership, to report their beneficial ownership of equity interests in the Partnership to the SEC. Their initial reports are required to be filed using the SEC’s Form 3, and they are required to report subsequent purchases, sales, and other changes using the SEC’s Form 4, which must be filed within two business days of most transactions. Officers, directors, and partners

Page 33

Index to Financial Statements

owning more than 10% of any class of equity interests in the Partnership are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all of reports they file pursuant to Section 16(a).

Financial Oversight Committee

The Partnership does not have a board of directors or an audit committee. Accordingly, as our corporate general partner, Wells Capital has established a Financial Oversight Committee consisting of Douglas P. Williams, as the Principal Financial Officer; Randall D. Fretz, as the Senior Vice President, of our corporate general partner; and Kevin Race, as Chief of Financial Strategy. The Financial Oversight Committee serves the equivalent function of an audit committee for, among others, the following purposes: appointment, compensation, review and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accountants, and establishing and enforcing the code of ethics. However, since neither the Partnership nor its corporate general partner has an audit committee and the Financial Oversight Committee is not independent of the Partnership or the General Partners, we do not have an “audit committee financial expert.”

Code of Ethics

The Partnership has adopted a code of ethics applicable to our corporate general partner’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as well as the principal accounting officer, controller, or other employees of our corporate general partner performing similar functions on behalf of the Partnership, if any. The code of ethics is contained in the Business Standards/Code of Conduct/General Policies established by WREF. You may obtain a copy of this code of ethics, without charge, upon request by calling our Client Services Department at 800-557-4830 or 770-243-8282.

ITEM 11.

COMPENSATION OF GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES.

While the Partnership is managed by the General Partners and their affiliates, it does not pay any salaries or other compensation directly to the General Partners or to any individual employees, officers, or directors of the General Partners. Further, the Partnership does not employ, and is not managed by, any of its own employees, officers, or directors. Accordingly, no compensation has been awarded to, earned by, or paid to any such individuals in connection with the management of the Partnership. Due to our current management structure and our lack of any direct employees, officers, or directors, no discussion and analysis of compensation paid by the Partnership nor tabular information concerning salaries, bonuses, and other types of compensation to executive officers or directors of the Partnership has been included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” for a description of the fees incurred by the Partnership payable to affiliates of the General Partners during the year ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 12.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

The compensation and fees we pay to our General Partners or their affiliates in connection with our operations are as follows:

Interest in Partnership Cash Flow and Net Sale Proceeds

The General Partners are entitled to receive a subordinated participation in net cash flow from operations equal to 10% of net cash flow after the limited partners have received preferential distributions equal to 8% of their adjusted capital contribution. The General Partners are also entitled to receive a subordinated participation in net sale proceeds and net financing proceeds equal to 15% of residual proceeds available for distribution after the limited partners have received a return of their adjusted capital contribution plus a 12% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contribution. The General Partners have not received any distributions of net cash from operations or net sale proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Management and Leasing Fees

In accordance with the property management and leasing agreement, Wells Management, an affiliate of the General Partners, receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties owned through the Joint Ventures equal to (a) 3% of the gross revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate maximum of 6%) of the gross revenues collected monthly; plus a separate fee for the one-time 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, which is assessed periodically based on market studies, 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, are included in equity in income (loss) of joint ventures in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Our share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint Ventures that are payable to Wells Management is $10,293, $39,810, and $42,251 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, Wells Management elected to defer the receipt of management and leasing fees due from the Partnership through its interests in the Joint Ventures. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed aggregate management and leasing fees, through its interests in the Joint Ventures, to Wells Management of approximately $2,700, which is due from Fund II-III Associates and, accordingly included in investment in joint ventures in the accompanying balance sheets.

Administrative Reimbursement

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, Wells Management and Wells Capital elected to defer the receipt of administrative reimbursements due from the Partnership. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed aggregate administrative reimbursements to Wells Management of $20,731, which is included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets.

Page 35

Index to Financial Statements

Real Estate Commissions

In connection with the sale of our properties, the General Partners or their affiliates may receive commissions not exceeding the lesser of (a) 50% of the commissions customarily charged by other brokers in arm’s-length transactions involving comparable properties in the same geographic area or (b) 3% of the gross sales price of the property, and provided that payments of such commissions will be made only after limited partners have received prior distributions totaling 100% of their capital contributions plus a 6% cumulative return on their adjusted capital contributions. No real estate commissions were paid to the General Partners or affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, or 2006.

Procedures Regarding Related-Party Transactions

Our policies and procedures governing related-party transactions with our General Partners and their affiliates, including, but not limited to, all transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, are restricted or severely limited by the provisions of Articles XI, XII, XIII, and XIV of our partnership agreement, which has been filed with the SEC. No transaction has been entered into with either of our General Partners or their affiliates that does not comply with those policies and procedures. In addition, in any transaction involving a potential conflict of interest, including any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, our General Partners must view such a transaction after taking into consideration their fiduciary duties to the Partnership.

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

Preapproval Policies and Procedures

The Financial Oversight Committee preapproves all auditing and permissible nonauditing services provided by our independent registered public accountants. The approval may be given as part of the Financial Oversight Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of our independent registered public accountants or on an individual basis. The preapproval of certain audit-related services and certain nonauditing services not exceeding enumerated dollar limits may be delegated to one or more of the Financial Oversight Committee’s members, but the member to whom such authority is delegated shall report any preapproval decisions to the full Financial Oversight Committee. Our independent registered public accountants may not be retained to perform the nonauditing services specified in Section 10A(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accountants

Frazier & Deeter, LLC serves as our independent registered public accountants and has provided audit services since September 22, 2006. All such fees are recognized in the period to which the services relate. A portion of such fees is allocated to the joint ventures in which the Partnership invests. The aggregate fees billed to the Partnership for professional accounting services by Frazier & Deeter, LLC, including the audit of the Partnership’s annual financial statements, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, are set forth in the table below.


	Frazier & Deeter, LLC
	2008		2007
Audit Fees	$	16,061	$	13,523
Audit-Related Fees		0		0
Tax Fees		0		0
Other Fees		0		0

Total	$	16,061	$	13,523

Page 36

Index to Financial Statements

For purposes of the preceding table, the professional fees are classified as follows:

•

Audit Fees – These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filings, services that are normally provided by independent registered public accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and services that generally independent registered public accountants reasonably can provide, such as statutory audits, attest services, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.

•

Audit-Related Fees – These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent registered public accountants, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions, internal control reviews, attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

•

Tax Fees – These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in our independent registered public accountant’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Tax compliance involves preparation of any federal, state or local tax returns. Tax planning and tax advice encompass a diverse range of services, including assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets, and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.

•

Other Fees – These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories, including assistance with internal audit plans and risk assessments.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, 100% of the services performed by Frazier & Deeter, LLC described above under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “Other Fees” were approved in advance by a member of the Financial Oversight Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The General Partners of

Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Partnership’s 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Partnership’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Partnership’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 (“FIN”) No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which supersedes FIN No. 46 and is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (“ARB No. 51”). 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 (“SOP”) 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.

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

The Partnership continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets owned through the Partnership’s investment in Fund II-III Associates may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that the expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to the respective estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), and recognizes 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 future cash flows, including estimated salvage value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of investments in money market accounts.

Page F-8

Index to Financial Statements

Other Assets

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, other assets is comprised primarily of interest income receivable. Interest receivable represents interest earned during the period presented, which will be received in the following month.

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 each has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contribution, as defined. Net cash from operations is then distributed to limited partners holding Class B Units until each has received an 8% per annum return on his adjusted capital contribution, as defined. If any net cash from operations remains, the General Partners receive an amount equal to 10% of total net cash from operations distributed for such year. Thereafter, amounts are distributed 10% to the General Partners and 90% to the limited partners.

Distribution of Sale Proceeds

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

•

In the event that the particular property sold is sold for a price that is less than the original property purchase price, to the limited partners holding Class A Units until each has 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 limited partners until each limited partner has received 100% of his capital contributions, as defined;

•

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

•

To all limited partners until each limited partner has received a cumulative 12% per annum return on his adjusted capital contributions, as defined;

•

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

•

Thereafter, 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partners.

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

For the purpose of determining allocations per the partnership agreement, net income is defined as net income recognized by the Partnership, excluding deductions for depreciation, amortization, 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 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.

Gains 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

Page F-9

Index to Financial Statements

to partners having negative 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.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners are required to include their respective shares of profits and losses in their individual income tax returns.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2008. The Partnership has elected not to implement the provisions of SFAS No. 159, and therefore, such provisions have no effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures required for fair value measurements under GAAP, including amending SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, as opposed to an entity-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 No.157, excludes SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under SFAS No. 13, from the scope of SFAS No. 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 No. 157 for all nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 includes guidance for how companies should value illiquid assets under the fair value accounting method prescribed in SFAS No. 157, however, does not change any of the provisions of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-3 is effective upon issuance on October 10, 2008, and retrospective application is prohibited. FSP 157-2 will be effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2009, and the remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 were effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 has not had a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements to date; however, the Partnership is currently assessing the provisions and evaluating the potential impact of FSP 157-2 on its financial statements.

4.	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management and Leasing Fees

In accordance with the property management and leasing agreement, Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the General Partners, receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnership’s properties owned through the Joint Ventures equal to (a) 3% of the gross revenues for management and 3% of the gross revenues for leasing (aggregate maximum of 6%) of the gross revenues collected monthly; plus a separate fee for the one-time 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, which is assessed periodically based on market studies; or (b) in the case of commercial properties leased on a long-term net basis (10 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, are 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 that are payable to Wells Management is $10,293, $39,810, and $42,251 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, which were paid to Wells Management.

Administrative Reimbursements

Wells Capital 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 various other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on estimates of the amount of time spent dedicated to each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of the General Partners, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. The Partnership incurred administrative expenses of $85,659, $75,991, and $65,938 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. In addition, Wells Capital and Wells Management pay for certain operating expenses of the Partnership (“bill-backs”) directly and invoice the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliates as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 represents administrative reimbursements and bill-backs due to Wells Capital and/or Wells Management.

Page F-12

Index to Financial Statements

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, Wells Management and Wells Capital elected to defer the receipt of administrative reimbursements due from the Partnership. As of December 31, 2008, the Partnership owed aggregate administrative reimbursements to Wells Management and Wells Capital of $20,731, which is included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheets.

5.	PER-UNIT AMOUNTS

Income (loss) per limited partnership unit amounts are calculated based upon weighted-average units outstanding during the respective periods. Income (loss) per limited partnership unit, as presented in the accompanying statements of operations, will vary from the per-unit amounts attributable to the individual investors due to the differences between the GAAP and tax basis treatment of certain items of income and expense and the fact that, within the respective classes of Class A Units and Class B Units, individual units have different characteristics including capital bases, cumulative operating and net property sales proceeds distributions, and cumulative earnings allocations as a result of, among other things, the timing of when the limited partners were admitted into the Partnership.

For the reasons mentioned above, distributions of net sale proceeds per unit also vary among individual unit holders. Distributions of net sale proceeds have been calculated at the investor level pursuant to the partnership agreement and allocated between the Class A and Class B limited partners in the period paid. Accordingly, distributions of net sale proceeds per unit, as presented in the accompanying financial statements, vary from the per-unit amounts attributable to the individual investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The General Partners of

Fund II and Fund III Associates:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fund II and Fund III Associates (the “Joint Venture”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Joint Venture’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Joint Venture’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Joint Venture’s 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fund II and Fund III Associates as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007, AND 2006

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

In March 1989, Fund II and Fund II-OW entered into a Georgia general partnership with Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (“Wells Fund III”), known as Fund II and Fund III Associates (the “Joint Venture”) for the purposes of developing, constructing, operating, and selling commercial and industrial real properties. Fund II and Fund II-OW is a joint venture between Wells Real Estate Fund II (“Wells Fund II”) and Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW (“Wells Fund II-OW”).

In April 1989, the Joint Venture acquired an approximate 118,000 square foot, four-story office building, 2100 Space Park Drive (formerly known as “Boeing at the Atrium”), in Houston, Texas. In 1991, Fund II and Fund II-OW contributed its interest in a 5.8-acre of land, known as the Brookwood Property, in Roswell, Georgia, to the Joint Venture. An approximate 7,000 square foot restaurant, Brookwood Grill, was developed on 1.5 acres of the Brookwood Property. During 1995, the remaining 4.3 acres of the Brookwood Property were transferred at cost to the Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates, a joint venture partnership between the Joint Venture, Wells Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. (“Wells Fund VI”), and Wells Real Estate Fund VII, L.P. (“Wells Fund VII”). Development on this property of two buildings containing a total of approximately 49,500 square feet was substantially complete in 1996. Once constructed, this property became known as the Holcomb Bridge Property. The general partners of Wells Fund II, Wells Fund II-OW, and Wells Fund III are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc. The general partners of Wells Fund VI and Wells Fund VII are Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P., a private Georgia limited partnership. Ownership interests were recomputed based on relative cumulative capital contributions from the joint venture partners.

On July 1, 2004, the Joint Venture and Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates sold Brookwood Grill and the Holcomb Bridge Property, respectively, to an unrelated third party for an aggregate gross sales price of $9,500,000. As a result of the Brookwood Grill sale, the Joint Venture has been allocated net sale proceeds of approximately $2,318,000 and recognized a gain of approximately $771,000. As a result of the sale of the Holcomb Bridge Property, the Joint Venture received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,614,000 and was allocated a gain of approximately $462,000. Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates wound up its affairs in 2005 by, among other things, collecting the outstanding receivables, satisfying outstanding payables, and distributing any residual cash balances to the joint venture partners. Fund II, III, VI and VII Associates was terminated during 2006 in accordance with the relevant dissolution and termination provisions of the Georgia Uniform Partnership Act.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Joint Venture’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Joint Venture’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Page F-21

Index to Financial Statements

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction, application of acquisition fees incurred, and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments which extend the useful life of the related asset. The Joint Venture considers the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. Upon receiving notification of a tenant’s intention to terminate a lease, undepreciated tenant improvements are written off to lease termination expense. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

The Joint Venture’s real estate assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:


Buildings		40 years
Building improvements		5-25 years
Land improvements		20 years
Tenant improvements		Shorter of lease term or economic life

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

Management continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets owned by the Joint Venture may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present, which suggest that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use or the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective assets’ carrying values, management adjusts the real estate assets to the respective estimated fair values, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS No. 144”), and recognizes 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 future cash flows, including estimated salvage value. The Joint Venture has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of any of the real estate assets held as of December 31, 2008. Projections of expected future cash flows require management to 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 in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of the Joint Venture’s real estate assets and net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Joint Venture considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Tenant Receivables, net

Tenant receivables are comprised of rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental income using the straight-line method. In 2006, upon receiving notification of a tenant’s intention to terminate a lease, unamortized straight-line rent receivables were written off to lease termination expense. Management assesses the collectibility of tenant receivables on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. Allowances of $0 and $1,694 are included in tenant receivables as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Page F-22

Index to Financial Statements

Deferred Leasing Costs, net

Deferred leasing costs reflect costs incurred to procure operating leases, which are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The remaining unamortized balance of deferred leasing costs will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately six years. In 2006, upon receiving notification of the tenant’s intention to terminate the lease, the unamortized deferred leasing costs were written-off to lease termination expense.

Other Assets, net

Other assets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, is comprised of the following balances:


	2008		2007
Prepaid property insurance	$	7,455	$	10,138
Interest receivable		42		1,622
Refundable security deposits		0		1,000
Other		0		177

Total	$	7,497	$	12,937

Management assesses the collectibility of other assets on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. Allowances of $0 and $8,530 are included as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Prepaid property insurance is recognized in the period in which the coverage is provided. Interest receivable represents interest earned during the period presented, which will be received in the following month. Refundable security deposits represent cash deposits received from tenants. Pursuant to the respective leases, the Joint Venture may apply such balances towards unpaid receivable balances or property damages, where applicable, or is obligated to refund remaining balances to the tenants upon the expiration of their related lease term. Balances without a future economic benefit are written off as they are identified.

Allocation of Income and Distributions

Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, income and distributions are allocated to the joint venture partners based upon their respective ownership interests as determined by relative cumulative capital contributions, as defined. Fund II and Fund II-OW and Wells Fund III held ownership interests in the Joint Venture of approximately 63% and 37%, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash from operations is generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

Revenue Recognition

The Joint Venture’s leases typically include renewal options, escalation provisions and provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the Joint Venture for a pro rata share of operating costs incurred. All of the Joint Venture’s leases are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income, including scheduled rental rate increases (other than scheduled increases based on the Consumer Price Index) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Rents and tenant reimbursements collected in advance are recorded as deferred income in the accompanying balance sheets. Lease termination income is recognized when the tenant loses the right to lease the space and the Joint Venture has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.

The Joint Venture records the sale of real estate assets pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate. Accordingly, gains are recognized upon completing the sale and, among other things, determining the sale price and transferring all of the risks and rewards of ownership without significant continuing involvement with the seller. Recognition of all or a portion of the gain would be deferred until both of these conditions are met. Losses are recognized in full as of the sale date.

Index to Financial Statements

Income Taxes

The Joint Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The partners of Wells Fund II, Wells Fund II-OW, and Wells Fund III are required to include their respective share of profits and losses from the Joint Venture in their individual income tax returns.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Joint Venture beginning January 1, 2008. The Joint Venture has elected not to implement the provisions of SFAS No. 159, and therefore, such provisions have no effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures required for fair value measurements under GAAP, including amending SFAS No. 144. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, as opposed to an entity-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 No.157, excludes SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as well as other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements on lease classification or measurement under SFAS No. 13, from the scope of SFAS No. 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 No. 157 for all nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 includes guidance for how companies should value illiquid assets under the fair value accounting method prescribed in SFAS No. 157, however, does not change any of the provisions of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-3 is effective upon issuance on October 10, 2008, and retrospective application is prohibited. FSP 157-2 will be effective for the Joint Venture beginning January 1, 2009, and the remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 were effective for the Joint Venture beginning January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 has not had a material impact on the Joint Venture’s financial statements to date; however, the Joint Venture is currently assessing the provisions and evaluating the potential impact of FSP 157-2 on its financial statements.

3.	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management and Leasing Fees

Wells Fund II, Wells Fund II-OW, and Wells Fund III entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of their general partners. In accordance with the property management and leasing agreement, Wells Management receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Joint Venture’s properties, the Joint Venture will generally pay Wells Management fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and 3% for

Page F-24

Index to Financial Statements

leasing services, plus a separate fee for the one-time 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, which is assessed periodically based on market studies; or (b) in the case of commercial properties which are leased on a long-term net basis (10 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. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Joint Venture incurred management and leasing fees that are payable to Wells Management of $28,383, $109,827, and $116,585, respectively, portions of which are included in operating income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

Administrative Reimbursements

Wells Management performs certain administrative services for the Joint Venture, relating to accounting, property management, and other joint venture administration, and incurs the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among these entities based on time spent on each entity by individual personnel. In the opinion of management, this is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Joint Venture incurred administrative expenses of $61,697, $52,850, and $27,221, respectively, payable to Wells Management.

Due to Affiliate

As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliate as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 represents the following items due to Wells Management:


	2008		2007
Construction fees	$	22,642	$	0
Administrative reimbursements		21,329		7,954
Property management fees		7,484		5,729

	$	51,455	$	13,683

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, Wells Management elected to defer the receipt of management and leasing fees and administrative reimbursements due from the Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2008, the Joint Venture owed aggregate management and leasing fees and administrative reimbursements to Wells Management of $7,484 and $21,329, respectively, which are included in due to affiliate in the accompanying balance sheets.

4.	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
