Status of Our Public Offerings
We commenced our initial public offering of 785 million shares of common stock on December 1, 2003, which consisted of a 600 million-share primary offering and a 185 million-share offering under our dividend reinvestment plan. We stopped making offers under the primary offering on November 26, 2005. We received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 197.0 million shares in our initial public offering.
On November 10, 2005, we commenced our follow-on offering of 300.6 million shares of common stock. Of these shares, we are offering 300 million shares in a primary offering and 0.6 million shares under our dividend reinvestment plan. As of March 24, 2006, we had received gross offering proceeds of approximately $209.3 million from the sale of approximately 20.9 million shares in our follow-on offering.
As of March 24, 2006, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion from the sale of approximately 217.9 million shares in our public offerings. After incurring approximately $43.5 million in acquisition fees, approximately $205.2 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees, approximately $34.7 million in other organization and offering expenses, and funding common stock redemptions of approximately $21.0 million pursuant to the share redemption program, as of March 24, 2006, we had raised aggregate net offering proceeds available for investment in properties of approximately $1.9 billion, all of which had been invested in real estate properties.
Indebtedness
As of March 24, 2006, our leverage ratio, that is, the ratio of total debt to total purchase price of real estate assets plus cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 26.3%. As of March 24, 2006, total indebtedness was
1
approximately $675.3 million, which consisted of fixed-rate mortgages on certain properties of approximately $471.2 million and approximately $195.0 outstanding under our $400.0 million credit facility and $9.1 million outstanding under our construction line of credit. Based on the value of our borrowing-base properties, we had approximately $195.8 million in remaining capacity under our $400.0 million credit facility, of which $9.2 million was pledged in the form of letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs.
Revised Share Redemption Program
Our board of directors has approved revisions to the share redemption program, which enables stockholders to sell their shares to us, subject to the limitations described below. The revisions, which will go into effect April 27, 2006, relate to the total amount of redemptions we can make if the redemption is sought upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder and should increase the number of shares we can redeem upon the request of the heirs of our stockholders. Set forth below is a full description of our revised share redemption program.
For Ordinary Redemptions (those that do not occur within two years of death or qualifying disability), the initial price at which we will repurchase a share under the share redemption program is 91% of the price at which we sold the share. We will pay $9.10 to redeem a share issued at $10.00. This initial redemption price will remain fixed until three years after we complete our offering stage. We define the completion of our offering stage to be upon the termination of our first public equity offering that is followed by a one-year period in which we do not engage in another public equity offering. (For purposes of this definition, we do not consider a public equity offering to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in the Wells operating partnership).
Three years after we complete our offering stage, the redemption price for Ordinary Redemptions will equal 95% of the estimated per share value of our shares, as estimated by our advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. We will report this redemption price in the annual report and three quarterly reports that we publicly file with the SEC.
There are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
| We will not make an Ordinary Redemption until one year after the issuance of the share to be redeemed. |
| We will not redeem shares on any redemption date to the extent that such redemptions would cause the amount paid for Ordinary Redemptions since the beginning of the then-current calendar year to exceed 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during such period. |
| We will limit Ordinary Redemptions and those in connection with a qualifying disability (as defined below) so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed 100% of the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan during the calendar year. |
| We will limit all redemptions (including those upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder) during any calendar year to no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. |
Subject to the limitations described above, we will redeem shares on the last business day of each month. Requests for redemption must be received at least five business days before a month-end redemption date in order for us to repurchase the shares that month. If we cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption, we will honor redemption requests at the applicable month-end on a pro rata basis. We will deviate from pro rata purchases in two minor ways: (i) if a pro rata redemption would result in you owning less than half of the minimum amounts required by applicable state law, then we would redeem all of your shares; and (ii) if a pro rata redemption would result in a you owning more than half but less than all of the amounts required by applicable state law, then we would not redeem any shares that would reduce your holdings below the minimum amount. In the event that you seek the redemption of all of your shares, there is no holding-period requirement for shares purchased pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan.
2
If we do not completely satisfy your redemption request at month-end because the request was not received in time or because of the restrictions on the number of shares we can redeem under the program, we will treat the unsatisfied portion of the redemption request as a request for redemption in the following month unless you withdraw the request before the next date for redemptions. You may withdraw a redemption request upon written notice to us at the address below before the date for redemption.
In several respects we treat redemptions sought within two years of a stockholders death or qualifying disability (as defined below) differently from Ordinary Redemptions. First, there is no requirement that the shares be outstanding for at least a year before being redeemed. Second, the redemption price equals 100% of the price at which we sold the share until three years after we complete our offering stage. At that time, the redemption price will be 100% of the price at which we sold the share or 100% of the estimate of our per share value, whichever is greater. Finally, there are the differences in the limitations imposed on different types of redemptions as described in the bullets above.
In order for a disability to entitle a stockholder to the special redemption terms described above (a qualifying disability), (1) the stockholder must receive a determination of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment arising after the date the stockholder acquired the shares to be redeemed, and (2) such determination of disability must be made by the governmental agency responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the stockholder could be eligible to receive (the applicable governmental agency). The applicable governmental agencies are limited to the following: (i) if the stockholder paid Social Security taxes and therefore could be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency is the Social Security Administration; (ii) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security benefits and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits, but the stockholder could be eligible to receive disability benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), then the applicable governmental agency is the U.S. Office of Personnel Management; or (iii) if the stockholder did not pay Social Security taxes and therefore could not be eligible to receive Social Security benefits but suffered a disability that resulted in the stockholders discharge from military service under conditions that were other than dishonorable and therefore could be eligible to receive military disability benefits, then the applicable governmental agency is the Veterans Administration.
Disability determinations by governmental agencies for purposes other than those listed above, including but not limited to workers compensation insurance, administration or enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act or Americans with Disabilities Act or waiver of insurance premiums will not entitle a stockholder to the special redemption terms described above. Redemption requests following an award by the applicable governmental agency of disability benefits must be accompanied by: (1) the investors initial application for disability benefits and (2) a Social Security Administration Notice of Award, a U.S. Office of Personnel Management determination of disability under CSRS, a Veterans Administration record of disability-related discharge or such other documentation issued by the applicable governmental agency which we deem acceptable and demonstrates an award of the disability benefits.
We understand that the following disabilities do not entitle a worker to Social Security disability benefits:
| disabilities occurring after the legal retirement age, |
| temporary disabilities and |
| disabilities that do not render a worker incapable of performing substantial gainful activity. |
Therefore, such disabilities will not qualify for the special redemption terms except in the limited circumstances when the investor is awarded disability benefits by the other applicable governmental agencies described above.
A stockholder that is a trust may only redeem on the terms available in connection with the death or disability of a stockholder if the deceased or disabled was the sole beneficiary of the trust or if the only other beneficiary of the trust was the spouse of the deceased or disabled.
3
Qualifying stockholders who desire to redeem their shares must give written notice to Wells Investment Securities, our dealer manager for our ongoing public offering, at 6200 The Corners Parkway, Suite 250, Norcross, Georgia 30092, ATTN: Investor Services. Wells Investment Securities is responsible for all services to be performed in connection with the Share Redemption Plan, although it has outsourced clerical duties to our advisor.
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program upon 30 days notice. We will notify you of such developments (i) in the annual or quarterly reports mentioned above or (ii) by means of a separate mailing, accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During a public offering, we will also include this information in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, as then required under federal securities laws.
Our share redemption program only provides stockholders a limited ability to redeem shares for cash until a secondary market develops for the shares, at which time the program will terminate. No such market presently exists, and we cannot assure you that any market for your shares will ever develop.
Amended Corporate Governance Guidelines
Set forth below is a description of changes we have made to our Corporate Governance Guidelines relating to the election of our directors. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our website at www.wellsref.com/investors/governance_docs.html.
Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Under this voting standard, the director nominees with the most votes are elected for the board seats to be filled. In uncontested elections, the number of nominees equals the number of board seats to be filled; therefore, in uncontested elections, a nominee need only receive a single for vote to be elected. In uncontested elections, abstentions and withhold votes should have no effect on the outcome of the election (although they do count toward the establishment of a quorum).
In order to enhance your ability to influence the composition of the board of directors in an uncontested election, we have recently amended our Corporate Governance Guidelines to require each candidate nominated by the board of directors to agree to offer to resign should he or she receive fewer for votes than withhold votes in an uncontested election. If a director must offer to resign because of withhold vote totals, the conflicts committee of our board of directors must accept or reject the offer of resignation within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote. If the conflicts committee accepts the offer, then the resignation will be effective upon acceptance. If the conflicts committee rejects an offer, it must disclose the reasons for doing so.
Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this provision of our Corporate Governance Guidelines may not participate in any conflicts committee action regarding whether to accept his or her offer of resignation or whether to accept any other directors resignation. However, if the non-participation of resigning directors would leave fewer than three directors participating in the decision, then all conflicts committee members may participate other than the director whose resignation is at issue.
The offer of resignation may also be accepted at a stockholder meeting duly called for the express purpose of accepting such resignation and electing a successor to fill the vacancy created thereby. Unless previously accepted by the conflicts committee, such resignation will be effective immediately prior to the stockholders election of a successor at such meeting.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified with the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will, intend, or similar words. Actual results may differ from those described in forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated, see Risk Factors in the prospectus.

Overview
We were formed on July 3, 2003 to acquire and operate a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate primarily consisting of high-quality, income-producing office and industrial properties leased to creditworthy entities that are located in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by Wells Capital and Wells Management. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.
Prior to commencing our initial public offering on December 1, 2003, we had approximately $200,000 in assets and no real estate operations. Following the receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2,500,000 in our initial public offering on January 22, 2004, we began acquiring real estate assets. Thus, our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 reflect growing operational revenues and expenses resulting from the acquisition of properties, fluctuations in interest expense resulting from the use of varying levels of short-term and long-term debt financing for such acquisitions, and general and administrative expenses, which have declined as a percentage of total revenues for 2005, as compared to 2004, commensurate with the operational growth of the enterprise.
During 2004, we raised approximately $792.0 million through the issuance of common stock and acquired an interest in 18 properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 billion. During 2005, we raised approximately $1.2 billion through the issuance of common stock and acquired an interest in 21 properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion. To purchase these assets, we used net equity proceeds and indebtedness. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, our borrowings totaled approximately $832.4 million and $350.5 million, respectively.
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 formulate a view of the current environments effect on the real estate markets in which we operate.
The U.S. economy experienced a moderate rate of growth at the end of 2005. Actual gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual rate of 1.1% for the fourth quarter of 2005, which declined from an annual growth rate of 4.1% for the third quarter of 2005. The decline in the rate of economic growth for the fourth quarter of 2005 is primarily attributable to corresponding declines in consumer and federal government spending, and net exports. Annual GDP growth is projected to remain in the range of three percent during 2006. The economy is anticipated to grow at a slower pace during 2006 due to rising energy prices and growing trade deficits. However, the rate of job growth relative to the labor force is expected to continue to improve in 2006, partially due to a shrinking labor force.
The U.S. office real estate market has shown some improvement over the past two years. The continued improvement of the overall economy is having a positive impact on office real estate fundamentals in certain markets. Office employment has grown moderately over the last year, and the pace is anticipated to accelerate in future years. The source of the future growth is projected to come predominately from the service sector. The U.S. office vacancy rate declined from approximately 14.1% for the third quarter of 2005 to approximately 13.6% for the fourth quarter of 2005. Positive absorption and low levels of new construction are projected to lead to a further reduction in vacancy in 2006. Increased tenant demand and steady absorption is expected to continue to contribute to positive rental rate growth in certain markets. Many markets are expected to move from the recovery cycle to the expansion cycle during 2006. The strength of office real estate market fundamentals will vary by location, as market conditions and real estate fundamentals differ based on geographic region, metropolitan area, and submarket.
The real estate capital transactions market remains healthy and exceedingly liquid. The national transaction volume has grown at an average annual rate of over 50% during the past two years. Cap rates, or first-year returns on real estate investments, remain low and are likely to remain flat through 2006. The spread between average cap rates and 10-year U.S. Treasuries remained relatively stable in 2005. We believe that, absent a significant movement in interest rates or a significant decrease in capital flows into the real estate market, cap rates will remain at or near their current levels.
5
Impact of Economic Conditions on our Portfolio
The level of cap rates is reflective of current market conditions and, as a result, is a major factor affecting the purchase prices of properties in which we invest. While some of the factors noted above indicate that future cap rates could remain stable, the extent to which our portfolio may be affected by future cap rate levels is dependent upon the extent of our future fundraising and investing activities. We expect to continue to raise equity proceeds from the sale of our common stock at a similar rate to the fourth quarter of 2005 and anticipate cap rates to remain stable; as such, we do not anticipate that our portfolio will be significantly impacted by the market conditions described above in the near-term.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
From January 2004 through December 2005, we raised significant funds through the sale of our common stock under our public offerings. Proceeds from these sales of common stock, net of offering costs and other expenses, were used primarily to fund the acquisition of real properties and certain capital improvements identified at the time of acquisition. We anticipate receiving proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our follow-on offering in the future, and investing such proceeds in future acquisitions of real properties. We also anticipate receiving proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan in the future, and using a significant portion of such proceeds to fund redemptions of our common stock under our share redemption program. We expect that our primary source of future operating cash flows will be cash generated from the operations of the properties currently in our portfolio and those to be acquired in the future. The amount of future dividends to be paid to our stockholders will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated from our operating activities, our expectations of future cash flows, and our determination of near-term cash needs for capital improvements, tenant re-leasing, redemptions of our common stock, and debt repayments.
The competition to acquire high-quality commercial office properties remains high. In addition, we continue to raise capital at a rate comparable to the fourth quarter of 2005. As such, due to timing differences in acquiring properties, as compared to raising capital, and in making operating payments, as compared to collecting operating receipts, we may periodically be required to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet our dividend payment schedule. Our primary focus is to continue to maintain the quality of our portfolio. Accordingly, in this intensely competitive environment, we may opt to lower the dividend rather than compromise that quality or accumulate significant borrowings to meet a dividend level higher than operating cash flow would support. We will continue to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions, and their impact on our earnings and future dividend projections.
Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $76.4 million, which is primarily comprised of receipts for rental revenues, tenant reimbursements, and interest income, less payments for property operating expenses, asset and property management fees, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses. From cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from master leases of approximately $15.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, we paid dividends to stockholders of approximately $80.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated net cash flow from financing activities of approximately $1,200.3 million, primarily as a result of raising net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our public offerings of approximately $1,194.6 million and receiving proceeds from additional borrowings of approximately $592.4 million. Such cash inflows from financing activities were primarily used to invest approximately $1,225.1 million in real estate, to repay outstanding balances on our lines of credit and notes payable of approximately $360.7 million, and to pay commissions and dealer-manager fees of $109.4 million. We expect to utilize residual cash and cash equivalents of approximately $35.4 million as of December 31, 2005 to satisfy current liabilities, pay future dividends, fund future anticipated acquisitions of real properties, or reduce indebtedness.
On December 7, 2005, the board of directors of Wells REIT II declared a daily dividend for stockholders of record from December 16, 2005 through March 15, 2006 in an amount equal to an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share, which is consistent with the rate of dividends declared for each quarter in 2005 on a per share basis. Such
6
dividend was paid on March 22, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2005, our funds from operations of approximately $80.2 million (see Funds From Operations), when combined with master lease receipts of $15.4 million, were adequate to fund the payment of dividends to our stockholders of $80.6 million.
On May 9, 2005, we entered into a $400.0 million, three-year unsecured revolving financing facility (the Wachovia Line of Credit) with a syndicate of banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia). The Wachovia Line of Credit replaced the $430.0 million, 180-day secured revolving financing facility with Bank of America, N.A. In connection with the closing, we paid fees and expenses totaling approximately $2.1 million. We have pledged approximately $9.2 million of our total borrowing capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit to letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs.
The Wachovia Line of Credit contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants:
| limits our ratio of debt to total asset value, as defined, to 50% or less at all times; |
| limits our ratio of secured debt to total asset value, as defined, to 40% or less at all times; |
| requires our ratio of unencumbered asset value, as defined, to total unsecured debt to be greater than 2:1 at all times; |
| requires maintenance of certain interest coverage ratios; |
| requires maintenance of certain minimum stockholders equity balances; and |
| limits investments that fall outside our core investments of improved office and industrial properties. |
Under the terms of the Wachovia Line of Credit, we may borrow up to 50% of the unencumbered asset value, or the aggregate value of a subset of lender-approved properties. The Wachovia Line of Credit also stipulates that our net distributions, which equal total dividends and other distributions less the amount reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan, may not exceed the greater of 90% of our Funds from Operations for the corresponding period or the minimum amount required in order for us to maintain our status as a REIT. Funds from Operations, as defined by the agreement, means net income (loss), minus (or plus) gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property during such period, plus depreciation on real estate assets and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs) for such period, all after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Wachovia Line of Credit includes a cross-default provision that provides that a payment default under any recourse obligation of $10 million or more or any non-recourse obligation of $20 million or more by us, Wells OP II, or any of our subsidiaries constitutes a default under the credit facility.
Our charter prohibits us from incurring debt that would cause our borrowings to exceed 50% of our assets (valued at cost before depreciation and other non-cash reserves) unless a majority of the members of the conflict committee of our board of directors approves the borrowing. Our charter also requires that we disclose the justification of any borrowings in excess of the 50% leverage guideline.
We intend to continue to generate capital from the sale of common stock under our follow-on offering and from third-party borrowings, and to use such capital primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate. As of February 28, 2006, we held cash balances of approximately $52.3 million and had outstanding borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit of approximately $257.5 million. After consideration of letters of credit pledged against the Wachovia Line of Credit, we had a remaining borrowing capacity, as of February 28, 2006, of approximately $133.3 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit. Accordingly, we believe that we have adequate capacity to continue to expand our portfolio and meet our future operating cash flow needs. In 2006, we expect to use substantially all of our future operating cash flow to pay dividends to stockholders and to use cash on hand and third-party borrowings to fund capital expenditures.
7
Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect that our primary sources of capital over the long term will include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, proceeds from secured or unsecured borrowings from third-party lenders, and net cash flows from operations. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, for the payment of tenant improvements, for the payment of offering-related costs, for the payment of operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, and for the payment of dividends. Over the next five years, we anticipate funding capital expenditures necessary for the properties currently in our portfolio, including building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions of approximately $79.3 million, exclusive of costs of properties under development.
In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that substantially all future net operating cash flows, after payments for certain capital expenditures such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions, will be used to pay dividends. However, we may use other sources of cash, such as short-term borrowings, to fund dividends from time to time (see Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview above). We expect to use substantially all net cash flows generated from raising equity or debt financing to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified upon acquisition, the repayment of outstanding borrowings, and to redeem shares under our share redemption program. If sufficient equity or debt capital is not available, our future investments in real estate will be lower.
To the extent that future cash flows provided by operations are lower due to lower returns on properties, future dividends paid may be lower as well. Our cash flow from operations depends significantly on market rents and the ability of tenants to make rental payments. We believe that the diversity of our tenant base and the concentration of creditworthy tenants in our portfolio helps to mitigate the risk of tenants defaulting on leases. However, general economic downturns, or downturns in one or more of our core markets, could adversely impact the ability of our tenants to make lease payments and our ability to re-lease space on favorable terms when leases expire. In the event of either situation, our cash flow and consequently our ability to meet capital needs, could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends in the future.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
As further discussed in Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we entered into an agreement to purchase an office building, which is currently under construction, in Lancaster, South Carolina (the Decision One Building), for a gross purchase price of approximately $33.7 million, plus closing costs and an allowance for tenant improvements and leasing costs not to exceed $1.8 million upon completion. In connection with the execution of this agreement, we paid a nonrefundable deposit of $3.4 million to an escrow agent in June 2005, which will be applied to the purchase price. We anticipate construction of the Decision One Building to be completed in June 2006. We anticipate paying for this acquisition with equity proceeds, borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit, or a combination thereof, the allocation of which will depend upon the timing and amount of capital raised in our ongoing public offering and future property acquisitions.
We have executed a construction agreement with an unrelated third party for the purpose of constructing the LakePointe 3 office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. As of December 31, 2005, we had approximately $10.7 million in costs remaining to be incurred under the agreement. Construction is anticipated to be completed by September 2006. We anticipate funding up to $17.1 million of the costs to build this building with borrowings under the LakePointe 3 construction loan. In connection with this construction loan, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure to changing interest rates, resulting in us paying a fixed rate of 4.84% per annum of the balance outstanding at each payment date. The interest rate swap expires in 2007.

Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation, amortization, and net income will each increase in future periods as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire period and as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate assets.
During the period from inception (July 3, 2003) to December 31, 2003, we had not yet commenced real estate operations, as we had not received and accepted the minimum subscription of $2,500,000 under our initial public offering. Therefore, we had no material results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. Following the receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2,500,000 on January 22, 2004, we acquired 18 real properties during 2004. During 2005, we invested in 21 additional properties, which increased the total number of properties held in our portfolio to 39 as of December 31, 2005. Accordingly, the results of operations presented for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are not directly comparable.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2005 vs. the year ended December 31, 2004
Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $43.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $135.0 million and $29.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2005 and owning the properties acquired in 2004 for a full year. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire year and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $12.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $45.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during 2005 and owning the properties acquired in 2004 for a full year. Property operating costs and property management fees represent approximately 33% and 36% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire year and future acquisitions of additional real estate assets.
Depreciation of real estate and amortization of lease costs increased from approximately $7.5 million and $12.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $24.5 million and $43.2 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of properties during 2005 and owning the properties acquired in 2004 for a full year. Amortization increased at a higher rate than depreciation primarily because the period of amortization for lease assets is the respective lease term, which is generally shorter than the useful life over which buildings and improvements are depreciated. Depreciation and
9
amortization are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire year and future acquisitions of real estate assets.
General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to increases in salary expense reimbursements payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management as a result of acquiring additional properties during 2005 and owning the properties acquired in 2004 for a full year. General and administrative expenses, as a percent of total revenues, decreased from approximately 9% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately 6% for the year ended December 31, 2005. In connection with the acquisition of additional real properties, we anticipate future general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as measured in gross dollars and to continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we achieve greater economies of scale with a larger portfolio of real estate assets in future periods, as compared to historical periods.
Interest expense increased from approximately $17.6 million for year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The additional interest expense incurred during 2005 relates primarily to amounts drawn on our lines of credit, new mortgage notes, and mortgage notes assumed in connection with acquisitions of properties during 2005, as well as 2004 borrowings being outstanding for a full year. Future levels of interest expense will vary primarily based on the amounts of future borrowings and the costs of borrowings. Future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate assets or interests therein. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will be largely dependent upon the level of additional investor proceeds raised in our ongoing public offering, the opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, and the timing of such future acquisitions.
Interest and other income increased from approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to approximately $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of interest earned on investor proceeds raised during 2005 prior to investing such proceeds in real estate assets. Future levels of interest income will be largely dependent upon the rate at which investor proceeds are raised and the timing and availability of future acquisitions of real estate assets.
Minority interest in (earnings) loss of consolidated subsidiaries increased from a loss of approximately $6,000 for year ended December 31, 2004 to earnings of approximately $220,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of owning an approximate 95% interest in a joint venture that holds the Highland Landmark III property for a full year, as we acquired our interest in the Highland Landmark III property on December 28, 2004. In addition, during August 2005, we acquired interests in the following three properties through separate joint ventures with minority interest partners: the One Robbins Road Building, the Four Robbins Road Building, and the Baldwin Point Building. Earnings allocated to minority interest partners fluctuate based on the level of earnings generated by the properties in which they own interests and the nature of the allocation provisions provided in respective joint venture agreements. Accordingly, minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the One Robbins Road Building, the Four Robbins Road Buildings, and the Baldwin Point Building for an entire year.
We recognized net income and net income per share of approximately $12.5 million and $0.09, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to net loss and net loss per share of approximately $4.6 million and $0.15, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to the increase in net operating income generated from our growing portfolio of properties outpacing the increase in portfolio expenses during 2005, as compared to 2004. Future net income is expected to continue to increase as a result of owning the assets acquired during 2005 for an entire year and future acquisitions of real estate. The level of future net income per share will vary primarily based on the level of equity proceeds raised and the rate at which we are able to invest such proceeds in income-generating real estate assets.
Portfolio Information
As of December 31, 2005, we owned interests in 37 office properties, one industrial building, and one hotel located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. All of these properties are included in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, as 33 are wholly owned and six are owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2005, our office and industrial properties were approximately 96% leased with an average lease term remaining of approximately 7.9 years.

Funds From Operations
We believe that funds from operations (FFO) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Our management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentation, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real
11
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, is the most relevant measure of our operating performance and, accordingly, believe that FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income.
Certain noncash items such as depreciation, amortization, and gains on the sale of real estate assets are excluded from our calculation of FFO. Conversely, FFO is not adjusted to reflect the cost of capital improvements or any related capitalized interest. Our calculation of FFO is presented in the following table (in thousands):

Set forth below is additional information related to selected material cash and noncash items included in or excluded from net income (loss) above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results:
Included in Net Income (Loss):
| Straight-line rental revenue of approximately $15.7 million and $5.1 million was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively; |
| Amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities was recognized as net decreases to rental revenues of approximately $3.9 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and |
| Amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $1.4 million and $5.4 million was recognized as interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. |
Excluded from Net Income (Loss):
| Master lease proceeds of $15.4 million were recorded as an adjustment to the basis of real estate assets acquired during the year ended December 31, 2005 and, accordingly, are not included in net income or FFO above. We consider master lease proceeds when determining cash available for dividends to our stockholders. |
REIT Qualification
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for that year and for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to our stockholders. However, we
12
believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
On October 4, 2005, we created Wells TRS II, LLC (Wells TRS), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware limited liability company. We have elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings that we own through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, our investment in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of our total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Wells TRS incurred a net operating loss on an income tax basis; therefore, we recorded the related deferred tax asset and benefit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, respectively.
No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, other than for income earned by Wells TRS, as we made distributions in excess of taxable income for the periods presented. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Inflation
We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that are intended to protect us from, and mitigate the risk of, the impact of inflation. These provisions include rent steps, reimbursement billings for operating expense pass-through charges, real estate tax and insurance reimbursements on a per square-foot basis, or in some cases, annual reimbursement of operating expenses above a certain per square-foot allowance. However, due to the long-term nature of the leases, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to fully cover inflation.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
The critical accounting policies outlined below have been discussed with members of the audit committee of the board of directors.
Investment in Real Estate Assets
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:
Buildings | 40 years | |
Building improvements | 5-25 years | |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of economic life or lease term | |
Intangible lease assets | Lease term |
13
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their estimated fair values.
The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land and building based on managements determination of the relative fair value of these assets. We determine the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related costs. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses during the expected lease-up periods based on current market conditions.
The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements and other direct costs and are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These lease intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which would impact the amount of our reported net income.
Valuation of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we decrease the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and recognize an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, in order of preference, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. We held no real estate assets as of December 31, 2003.
Projections of expected future operating cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of
14
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 propertys fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees or reimbursements to Wells Capital or its affiliates for acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer-manager fees, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. See Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to certain contingencies and commitments with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Notes 5 and 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for further explanation. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include:
| Litigation against Wells Capital and its affiliates (Note 8); |
| Decision One Building (Note 5); |
| Property under construction (Note 5); |
| University Circle Buildings (Note 5); |
| Commitments under existing lease agreements (Note 5); |
| Take-out Agreements (Note 5); and |
| Obligations under capital and operating leases (Note 5). |
Subsequent Events
Sale of Shares of Common Stock

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from inception (July 3, 2003) through December 31, 2003. Our audits also included the accompanying financial statement schedules. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 consolidated financial position of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from inception (July 3, 2003) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

WELLS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST II, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
1. | ORGANIZATION |
Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (Wells REIT II) is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. Wells REIT II engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and commenced operations on January 22, 2004. Wells REIT II conducts business primarily through Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. (Wells OP II), a Delaware limited partnership. Wells REIT II is the sole general partner of Wells OP II and controls the operations of Wells OP II. As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II owned more than 99.9% of the equity interests in Wells OP II. Wells Capital, Inc. (Wells Capital), the external advisor to Wells REIT II, is the sole limited partner of Wells OP II. Wells OP II acquires, develops, owns, leases, and operates real properties directly, through wholly owned subsidiaries or through joint ventures. References to Wells REIT II herein shall include all subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, including Wells OP II, its subsidiaries, and consolidated joint ventures. See Note 8 for a discussion of the advisory services provided by Wells Capital.
As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II owned interests in 37 office properties, one industrial building, and one hotel, comprising approximately 11.3 million square feet of commercial office space located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-three of the properties are wholly owned and six are owned through consolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2005, the office and industrial properties were approximately 96.4% leased.
On December 1, 2003, Wells REIT II commenced its initial public offering of up to 785.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, with 185.0 million of such shares reserved for issuance under Wells REIT IIs dividend reinvestment plan. Wells REIT II stopped offering shares for sale under the primary offering on November 26, 2005. Wells REIT II raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion from the sale of approximately 195.2 million shares in its initial public offering. On November 10, 2005, Wells REIT II commenced a follow-on offering of up to 300.6 million shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, with 0.6 million of such shares reserved for issuance under Wells REIT IIs dividend reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II had raised gross offering proceeds of approximately $38.5 million from the sale of approximately 3.9 million shares in the follow-on offering.
After reducing aggregate gross offering proceeds raised from the sale of common stock in the initial public offering and follow-on offering of approximately $2.0 billion for payments of acquisition fees of approximately $39.7 million, selling commissions and dealer-manager fees of approximately $188.3 million, other organization and offering expenses of approximately $32.4 million, and common stock redemptions of approximately $16.7 million under the share redemption program, Wells REIT II had received aggregate net offering proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2005, all of which has been invested in real properties.
Wells REIT IIs stock is not listed on a public securities exchange. However, Wells REIT IIs charter requires that, in the event that Wells REIT IIs stock is not listed on a national securities exchange by October 2015, Wells REIT II must either seek stockholder approval of an extension or amendment of this
F-8
listing deadline or stockholder approval to begin liquidating investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders. In the event that Wells REIT II seeks stockholder approval for an extension or amendment to this listing date and does not obtain it, Wells REIT II will then be required to seek stockholder approval to liquidate. In this circumstance, if Wells REIT II seeks and does not obtain approval to liquidate, Wells REIT II will not be required to list or liquidate and could continue to operate indefinitely as an unlisted company.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Wells REIT IIs consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of Wells REIT II, Wells OP II, and any variable interest entities in which Wells REIT II or Wells OP II is the primary beneficiary, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (FIN) 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which supersedes FIN 46 and is an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (ARB 51). FIN 46(R) requires the identification of variable interest entities (VIEs), which are defined as entities that have a level of invested equity insufficient to fund future activities on a stand alone basis or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46(R) requires the consolidation of such VIEs in cases where Wells REIT II absorbs a majority of the expected losses and returns and is, therefore, considered the primary beneficiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of entities in those situations where FIN 46(R) is not applicable and in which Wells REIT II or Wells OP II owns a controlling financial interest, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, ARB 51, and Statement of Position (SOP) No. 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. In determining whether Wells REIT II or Wells OP II has a controlling financial interest, the following factors are considered, among others: ownership of voting interests, protective rights of investors and participatory rights of investors.
On December 22, 2005, Wells REIT II acquired a 50% interest in an office tower, a full-service hotel, and a parking garage (collectively, the Key Center Complex) through its ownership in Key Center Properties LLC (KCP LLC), a joint venture between Wells REIT II and Key Center Properties Limited Partnership (KCPLP). Wells REIT II has a note receivable due from KCPLP for approximately $72.9 million, which approximates KCPLPs minority interest in KCP LLC. Wells REIT II has evaluated KCP LLC and KCPLP under the provisions of FIN 46(R) and concluded that both entities are VIEs for which Wells REIT II is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, Wells REIT II has included the accounts of KCP LLC and KCPLP in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As a result of consolidating KCPLP into the accounts of Wells REIT II, the aforementioned note receivable and 50% minority interest in KCP LLC were eliminated. The minority interest in KCPLP that is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents claims against specific, rather than general, assets and liabilities of KCPLP.
Wells REIT II owns interests in four real properties through its ownership in the following entities: Wells REIT II/Lincoln-Highland Landmark III, LLC, Nashoba View Ownership, LLC, and 2420 Lakemont Avenue, LLC (the Joint Ventures). Wells REIT II has evaluated the Joint Ventures under the provisions of FIN 46(R) and concluded that none are VIEs. Accordingly, upon applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, ARB 51, and Statement of Position (SOP) No. 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, Wells REIT II has concluded that each of the Joint Ventures should be consolidated and has, therefore, included the accounts of the consolidated Joint Ventures in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
F-9
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. 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 that extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Additionally, Wells REIT II capitalizes interest while the development of a real estate asset is in progress. Approximately $4,000 and $49,000 of interest was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Wells REIT IIs real estate assets are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Building | 40 years | |
Building improvements | 5-25 years | |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of economic life or lease term | |
Intangible lease assets | Lease term |
Wells REIT II continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets of both operating properties and properties under construction, in which Wells REIT II has an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, Wells REIT II assesses the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, Wells REIT II decreases the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets to the estimated fair values, as defined by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and recognizes impairment losses. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information in order of preference, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. Wells REIT II has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held by Wells REIT II during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Wells REIT II held no real estate assets as of December 31, 2003.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, Wells REIT II allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their estimated fair values.
The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the as-if-vacant value is then allocated to land and building based on managements determination of the relative fair value of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related costs. In estimating
F-10
carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand.
The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining terms of the leases. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are recorded as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements and other direct costs and are estimated based on managements consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct lease origination costs are included in deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These lease intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Wells REIT II recognized gross above-market in-place leases of approximately $122.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, and gross intangible absorption period costs of approximately $310.7 million and $143.9 million, respectively, which are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Wells REIT II recognized gross intangible lease origination costs of approximately $253.9 million and $109.8 million, respectively, which are included in deferred lease costs, and gross below-market in-place leases of approximately $66.5 million and $24.8 million, respectively, which are included in intangible lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, Wells REIT II recorded amortization expense related to intangible lease origination and absorption period costs of approximately $43.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. In addition, Wells REIT II recorded a net increase to rental revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to amortization of above-market and below-market in-place leases of approximately $3.9 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Wells REIT II 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.
Tenant Receivables
Tenant receivables are comprised of rent and reimbursement billings due from tenants and the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental income on a straight-line basis. Tenant receivables are recorded at the original amount earned, less an allowance for any doubtful accounts, which approximates fair value. Management assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and provides for allowances as such balances, or portions thereof, become uncollectible. Wells REIT II adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts by recording provisions for bad debts of approximately $365,000 and $432,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets are primarily comprised of escrow accounts held by lenders to pay future real estate taxes, insurance and tenant improvements, earnest money paid in connection with future acquisitions and borrowings, other escrow accounts created in connection with the acquisition of real estate assets, notes receivable, deferred tax asset, prepaid taxes, insurance and operating costs, and capitalized acquisition fees that have not yet been applied to investments in real estate assets. Prepaid expenses and other assets will be expensed as incurred or reclassified to other asset accounts upon being put into service in future periods. Balances without future economic benefit are written off as they are identified. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, prepaid expenses and other assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are comprised of costs incurred in connection with securing financing from third-party lenders and are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related financing arrangements. Wells REIT II recognized amortization of deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 of approximately $1.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Lease Costs
Deferred lease costs are comprised of costs incurred to acquire operating leases, including opportunity costs avoided by acquiring in-place leases, and are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Wells REIT II recognized amortization of deferred lease costs of approximately $16.2 million and $4.7 million, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in Bonds and Obligations Under Capital Leases
As a result of the purchase of certain real estate assets, Wells REIT II has acquired investments in bonds and corresponding obligations under capital leases. Wells REIT II records the bonds at net principal value and obligations under capital leases at the present value of the expected payments. The related amounts of interest income and expense are recognized as earned in equal amounts and, accordingly, do not impact earnings.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the equity interests of consolidated subsidiaries that are not owned by Wells REIT II. Minority interest is adjusted for contributions, distributions and earnings (loss) attributable to the minority interest partners of the consolidated joint ventures. Pursuant to the terms of the consolidated joint venture agreements, all earnings and distributions are allocated to the partners of the consolidated joint ventures in accordance with their respective ownership interests. Earnings allocated to such minority interest partners are recorded as minority interest in earnings (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Preferred Stock
Wells REIT II is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of one or more classes or series of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. Wells REIT IIs board of directors may determine the relative rights, preferences, and privileges of each class or series of preferred stock issued, which may be more beneficial than the rights, preferences, and privileges attributable to Wells REIT IIs common stock. To date, Wells REIT II has not issued any shares of preferred stock.
F-13
Common Stock
The par value of Wells REIT IIs issued and outstanding shares of common stock is classified as common stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, with the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the shares allocated to additional paid-in capital.
Dividends
In order to maintain its status as a REIT, Wells REIT II is required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), to make distributions to stockholders each taxable year equal to at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains attributable to stockholders (REIT taxable income).
Dividends to be distributed to the stockholders are determined by the board of directors of Wells REIT II and are dependent upon a number of factors relating to Wells REIT II, including funds available for payment of dividends, financial condition, the timing of property acquisitions, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements in order to maintain Wells REIT IIs status as a REIT under the Code.
Commissions and Related Dealer-Manager Fees
Pursuant to the dealer-manager agreement (see Note 8), Wells REIT II has engaged Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (WIS) to perform all dealer-manager functions for Wells REIT II. Commissions and related dealer-manager fees are recorded when incurred, based on the sale of Wells REIT IIs shares of common stock, as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Other Offering Costs
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (see Note 8), Wells Capital is responsible for paying all costs associated with Wells REIT IIs initial and follow-on public offerings. These costs include legal and accounting fees, printing costs, sales and promotional costs, and other costs directly associated with the offering. Subject to certain limitations, Wells REIT II is required to reimburse Wells Capital for these costs. Other offering costs are recorded when incurred as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
Financial Instruments
Wells REIT II considers its cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, investment in bonds, obligations under capital leases, lines of credit, and notes payable to meet the definition of financial instruments. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, accounts payable, investment in bonds, and obligations under capital leases approximated their fair value. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the estimated fair value of Wells REIT IIs lines of credit and notes payable was approximately $824.0 million and $348.3 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
All leases on real estate assets held by Wells REIT II are classified as operating leases, and the related base rental income is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period that the related operating cost is incurred and are billed to tenants pursuant to the terms of the underlying leases. Rental income and tenant reimbursements collected in advance are recorded as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease termination income is recognized once the tenant has lost the right to lease the space and Wells REIT II has satisfied all obligations under the related lease or lease termination agreement.
F-14
In conjunction with certain acquisitions, Wells REIT II has entered into master lease agreements with various sellers whereby the sellers are obligated to pay rent pertaining to certain non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to, the property acquisition. These master leases were established at the time of acquisition in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of lost rental revenues and expense reimbursement income. Wells REIT II records payments received under master lease agreements as a reduction of the basis of the underlying property rather than rental income. Wells REIT II received total master lease payments of $15.4 million and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately $0.6 million and $0, respectively, of master lease proceeds were held in escrow, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-based Compensation
As permitted by the provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting and Disclosure for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), Wells REIT II applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and the related interpretations in accounting for its stock options accordingly. Wells REIT II does not recognize compensation cost in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based upon the fair value of stock based compensation but instead provides pro forma disclosure of the compensation expense in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
Wells REIT II has entered into an interest rate swap to hedge its exposure to changing interest rates on a variable rate construction loan. Wells REIT II accounts for the interest rate swap agreement in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, Wells REIT II records the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as either prepaid expense and other assets or accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures, and records changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as net investment income or expense classified as other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. All borrowings on the related construction loan will be used to fund the construction of a build-to-suit property. Accordingly, net interest expense is capitalized to the basis of the property when gross interest expense on the construction loan exceeds gross interest rate swap income, and net investment income is recorded and classified as interest and other income when gross interest rate swap income exceeds gross interest expense on the construction loan.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Outstanding stock options have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as their impact would be anti-dilutive using the treasury stock method because the exercise price of the options exceeds the current offering price of Wells REIT IIs common stock.
Income Taxes
Wells REIT II has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code and has operated as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income. As a REIT, Wells REIT II generally is not subject to income tax on income it distributes to stockholders. Wells REIT II is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
F-15
On October 4, 2005, Wells REIT II created Wells TRS II, LLC (Wells TRS), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware limited liability company. Wells REIT II has elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Wells REIT II may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings owned by Wells REIT II through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services are subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for Wells REIT II to continue to qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT IIs investment in taxable REIT subsidiaries cannot exceed 20% of the value of the total assets of Wells REIT II. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Wells TRS has incurred a net operating loss on an income tax basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 and has recorded the related deferred tax asset and benefit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123-R), which replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123-R applies to all transactions involving the issuance of equity securities, including, among others, common stock and stock options, in exchange for goods and services. SFAS 123-R requires Wells REIT II to recognize expense for all stock options awarded over the respective vesting periods based on their fair values. SFAS 123-R will become applicable to Wells REIT II effective January 1, 2006. To date, the options granted by Wells REIT II have not had material value. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT IIs consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47), an interpretation of SFAS No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143), effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. FIN 47 clarifies the definition of a conditional asset retirement obligation provided in SFAS 143, as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity for which the timing or method of settlement is conditional upon a future event that may or may not be within control of the Wells REIT II. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Wells REIT II has identified asbestos at certain properties and may have undetected asbestos at others. Wells REIT II believes that the identified asbestos is appropriately contained and that Wells REIT II is compliant with current environmental regulations. Because the obligations to remove asbestos from any of these properties have indeterminate settlement dates, Wells REIT II is unable to reasonably estimate the fair values of these obligations. To the extent that these properties undergo major renovations or demolition, certain environmental regulations are in place, which specify the manner in which the asbestos must be handled and disposed. In such circumstances, sufficient information may become available to reasonably estimate the fair value of the liability. There are currently no plans to undertake a major renovation that would require removal of the asbestos or demolition of a property. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material effect on Wells REIT IIs financial statements.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 changes the method to account for and report changes in accounting principles and corrections of errors. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting principles required recognition as a cumulative effect adjustment to net income during the period in which the change was adopted. Conversely, in circumstances where applicable accounting guidance does not include specific transition provisions, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, however, does not change the transition provisions of any of the existing accounting
F-16
pronouncements. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT IIs consolidated financial statements.
In July 2005, the FASB issued a Staff Position related to SOP 78-9-1: Interaction of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants SOP 78-9 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-5 (FSP). The EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, concluding that a general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership and should, therefore, consolidate the limited partnership unless the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. This FSP eliminates the concept of important rights provided in SOP 78-9 and replaces it with the concepts of kick-out rights and substantive participating rights, as defined in EITF Issue No. 04-5. For all new partnerships formed and existing partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified, this FSP and EITF Issue No. 04-5 became effective as of June 30, 2005. For all other partnerships, this guidance will become effective as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT IIs consolidated financial statements.

On May 9, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a $400.0 million, three-year, unsecured revolving financing facility (the Wachovia Line of Credit) with a syndicate of banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia). The Wachovia Line of Credit replaced the $430.0 million, 180-day, secured revolving financing facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the BOA Line of Credit). In connection with the closing, Wells REIT II paid fees and expenses totaling approximately $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, $214.0 million and $115.4 million were outstanding under the Wachovia Line of Credit and the BOA Line of Credit, respectively.
As of December 31, 2004, Wells REIT II had the ability to borrow additional funds of up to approximately $192.2 million under the BOA Line of Credit. Interest on the BOA Line of Credit accrued at a per annum rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25% or the base rate, plus 0.50%, at the option of Wells REIT II (4.74% as of December 31, 2004). The base rate for any day was the higher of (1) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, or (2) BOAs prime rate for such day.
F-19
The Wachovia Line of Credit contains borrowing arrangements that include interest costs based on, at the option of Wells REIT II, LIBOR for 7-, 30-, 60-, 90-, or 180-day periods, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.20% (LIBOR Loans), or the floating base rate. The applicable margin for LIBOR Loans is based on the ratio of debt to total asset value. The base rate for any day is the higher of Wachovias prime rate for such day, or the Federal Funds Rate for such day plus 50 basis points. Under the terms of the Wachovia Line of Credit, accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month. In addition, unused fees are assessed on a quarterly basis at a rate of 0.125% or 0.175% per annum of the amount by which the facility exceeds outstanding borrowings plus letters of credit. Wells REIT II is required to repay outstanding principal and accrued interest on May 9, 2008. The initial maturity date can be extended to May 9, 2009 if Wells REIT II seeks an extension and meets the related conditions set forth in the agreement. Wells REIT II can repay the Wachovia Line of Credit at any time without premium or penalty. The interest rate as of December 31, 2005 was 5.23% on $134.0 million of the outstanding balance and 5.31% on the remaining $80.0 million.
Wells REIT II can borrow up to 50% of the unencumbered asset value, or the aggregate value of a subset of lender-approved properties. Unencumbered asset value is calculated as the annualized net operating income of the lender-approved properties owned for four consecutive fiscal quarters divided by 8.25%, plus the book value, computed in accordance with GAAP, of such properties acquired during the most recently ended four fiscal quarters, plus the GAAP book value of construction-in-process properties included in the lender-approved subset (the borrowing capacity). During September 2005, Wells REIT II pledged approximately $9.2 million of its borrowing capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit to letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs. After consideration of the letters of credit, Wells REIT II had a remaining borrowing capacity, as of December 31, 2005, of up to approximately $35.9 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit.
The Wildwood, 800 North Frederick, Highland Landmark, 9 Technology Drive, 100 East Pratt Street, One and Four Robbins Road, and 5 Houston mortgage notes represent non-recourse mortgage loans secured by specific assets. The aggregate book value of the properties securing these loans is approximately $786.7 million as of December 31, 2005. These loans require monthly payment of interest at fixed rates ranging from 4.31% to 5.08% per annum and principal is due upon maturity. The Wildwood, 800 North Frederick, Highland Landmark, 9 Technology Drive, 100 East Pratt Street, Robbins Road, and 5 Houston mortgage notes mature in 2014, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2017, 2010, and 2008, respectively.
The One West Fourth and University Circle mortgage notes are non-recourse mortgage loans secured by properties with a net book value of $374.1 million as of December 31, 2005. Interest accrues on the One West Fourth Street loan at a per annum rate of 5.8%, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest ranging from approximately $341,000 to $382,000 through maturity in 2018 when all remaining unpaid principal is due. The University Circle loan accrues interest at a per annum rate of 6.04%, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $774,000 through maturity in 2011 when all remaining unpaid principal is due. On January 3, 2006, Wells REIT II repaid the entire outstanding principal balance on the University Circle mortgage note of approximately $117.7 million and, additionally, paid accrued interest and a prepayment penalty totaling approximately $5.7 million. In connection with prepayment of the University Circle mortgage note, Wells REIT II wrote off the related unamortized fair value adjustment of approximately $5.2 million, which resulted in an estimated loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million when combined with the $5.7 million prepayment penalty.
The Finley Road and Opus Place mortgage notes represent a loan provided by the seller of the Finley Road and Opus Place properties. The loan requires no payments of principal or interest until maturity in 2006 when Wells REIT II must pay an amount equal to $17.8 million. The loan was recorded at fair value on the date of purchase using an imputed interest rate of 3.742%. The loan is secured by the Finley Road and Opus Place properties whose aggregate net book values were $70.3 million as of December 31, 2005. On February 3, 2006, Wells REIT II repaid the entire outstanding principal on the Finley Road and Opus Place mortgage note of $17.8 million.
F-20
The Key Center mortgage notes are non-interest bearing loans secured by the Key Center Complex, which has a net book value of $314.4 million as of December 31, 2005. These loans require no payments of principal or interest until maturity in 2012 when Wells REIT II must pay an amount equal to $17.7 million. The loans were recorded at fair value on the date of purchase using an imputed interest rate of 5.43%.
The LakePointe 3 construction loan represents a construction loan to fund up to $17.1 million of the costs to build an office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. The loan requires monthly interest payments and matures in 2007. The interest rate, per annum, is the monthly LIBOR Index Rate offered by Wachovia plus 100 basis points. Wells REIT II entered into an interest rate swap to hedge exposure to changing interest rates, resulting in Wells REIT II paying a fixed rate of 4.84% per annum of the balance outstanding at each payment date. The interest rate swap expires in 2007.
Wells REIT IIs weighted-average interest rate as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 for the aforementioned borrowings was approximately 5.21% and 4.90%, respectively. Wells REIT II made interest payments, including amounts capitalized, of approximately $16.7 million and $8.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

5. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Take-out Agreements
Wells Management Company, Inc. (Wells Management), an affiliate of Wells Capital, has developed a program that involves the acquisition of income-producing commercial properties through a series of single-member limited liability companies for the purpose of facilitating the resale of co-tenancy interests in such real estate properties (the Wells Section 1031 Program) to persons seeking to reinvest the proceeds from a sale of real estate held for investment in another real estate investment to qualify for like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (1031 Participants). Acquisitions of properties for the Wells Section 1031 Program are generally financed with a combination of permanent first mortgage financing and interim financing obtained from institutional lenders. Following the acquisition of a property, a subsidiary of Wells Management attempts to sell co-tenancy
F-21
interests in such property to 1031 Participants, the proceeds from which are typically used to immediately repay interim financing.
As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II had commitments outstanding under three Take-Out Purchase and Escrow Agreements (the Take-Out Agreements). Under the terms of the Take-Out Agreements, Wells REIT II has committed to purchase any co-tenancy interests in properties acquired by subsidiaries of Wells Management and unsold to 1031 Participants as of the maturity date of the interim financing obtained to acquire the properties. In consideration for the exposure created under the Take-Out Agreements, Wells REIT II earned fees of approximately $0.8 million and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which is included in interest and other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Decision One Building
On June 24, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into an agreement to purchase a five-story office building currently under construction that will contain approximately 180,000 rentable square feet in Lancaster, South Carolina (the Decision One Building) for a gross purchase price of approximately $33.7 million, plus closing costs and an allowance for tenant improvements and leasing commissions not to exceed $1.8 million. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid a nonrefundable deposit of $3.4 million to an escrow agent in June 2005, which will be applied to the purchase price. Completion of the construction of the Decision One Building is anticipated to occur in June 2006, at which point the purchase price will become due and payable to the seller. Decision One Mortgage Company will lease 100% of the Decision One Building at rental rates to be determined based upon total actual construction costs.
Property Under Construction
Wells REIT II executed a construction agreement with an unrelated third party for the purpose of constructing the LakePointe 3 office building in Charlotte, North Carolina. As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II had approximately $10.7 million in costs remaining to be incurred under the agreement. Construction is anticipated to be completed by September 2006.
University Circle Buildings
In connection with the acquisition of the University Circle Buildings on September 20, 2005, Wells REIT II will owe additional purchase consideration ranging from $7.7 million to $12.9 million. The exact amount will be calculated pursuant to an earnout agreement between Wells REIT II and the seller and will be based on the amount of qualified leases, as defined, to be procured by the seller for currently vacant space on or before May 1, 2006. In connection with this earnout agreement, at closing, Wells REIT II assigned $7.7 million of available borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit to a letter of credit. As of December 31, 2005, the minimum earnout payment due of $7.7 million has been capitalized and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet; however, an amendment to the purchase and sale agreement executed in

January 2006 caused the minimum earnout payment to decrease from $7.7 million to $7.5 million. Further, Wells REIT II incurred additional purchase consideration of approximately $2.9 million related to a qualified lease procured by the seller in January 2006, which increased the minimum earnout payment to approximately $10.4 million.
Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements
Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells REIT II to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. The current lease with the majority tenant of the 100 East Pratt Street Building, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., entitles T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. to obligate Wells REIT II to fund tenant improvements or grant leasing commissions of up to $13.9 million, of which approximately $1.9 million may be used to offset future rental billings at the tenants discretion. As of December 31, 2005, no tenants have exercised such options that had not been materially satisfied.
Litigation
Wells REIT II is from time to time a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Wells REIT II is not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Wells REIT II. Wells REIT II is not aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

6. | STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY |
Stock Option Plan
Wells REIT II maintains the Stock Option Plan that provides for grants of non-qualified stock options to be made to selected employees of Wells Capital and Wells Management. A total of 750,000 shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. As of December 31, 2005, no stock options have been granted under the plan; therefore, all 750,000 shares are available for option grants, subject to limitations set forth in the charter.
Under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price per share for the options must be the greater of (1) $11.00 or (2) the fair market value (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) on the date the option is granted. The conflicts committee of Wells REIT IIs board of directors, upon recommendation and consultation with Wells Capital, may grant options under the plan. The conflicts committee has the authority to set the term and vesting period of the stock options as long as no option has a term greater than five years from the date the stock option is granted. If the conflicts committee determines that the potential benefits of the stock options may be inappropriately diluted or enlarged as a result of certain corporate transactions or events, the conflicts committee may adjust the number and class of shares or the exercise price with respect to any option. No stock option may be exercised if such exercise would jeopardize Wells REIT IIs status as a REIT under the Code, and no stock option may be granted if the grant, when combined with those issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants granted to Wells REIT IIs advisor, directors, officers, or any of their affiliates, would exceed 10% of Wells REIT IIs outstanding shares. No option may be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred by an option holder in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
Independent Director Stock Option Plan
Wells REIT II maintains the Independent Director Stock Option Plan (the Director Plan) that provides for grants of stock to be made to independent directors of Wells REIT II. A total of 100,000 shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the Director Plan. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, 36,000 and 28,000 options had been granted under the plan, respectively. Therefore, as of December 31, 2005, 64,000 shares remain available for independent director stock option grants, subject to limitations set forth in the charter.
Under the Director Plan, options to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at $12.00 per share are granted upon initially becoming an independent director of Wells REIT II. Of these options, 20% are exercisable immediately on the date of grant. An additional 20% of these options become exercisable on each anniversary for four years following the date of grant. Additionally, effective on the date of each annual stockholder meeting, beginning in 2004, each independent director will be granted options to purchase 1,000 additional shares of common stock at the greater of (1) $12.00 per share or (2) the fair market value (as defined in the Director Plan) on the last business day preceding the date of the annual stockholder meeting. These options are 100% exercisable two years after the date of grant. All options granted under the Director Plan expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant and may expire sooner if the independent director dies, is disabled, or ceases to serve as a director. In the event that the potential benefits of the stock options may be inappropriately diluted or enlarged as a result of certain corporate transactions or events, the conflicts committee may adjust the number and class of shares or the exercise price with respect to any option. No stock option may be exercised if such exercise would jeopardize Wells REIT IIs status as a REIT under the Code, and no stock option may be granted if the grant, when combined with those issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants granted to
F-24
Wells REIT IIs advisor, directors, officers, or any of their affiliates, would exceed 10% of Wells REIT IIs outstanding shares. No option may be sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred by an independent director in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
A summary of stock option activity under Wells REIT IIs Director Plan during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:
Number | Exercise Price |
Exercisable | |||||
Outstanding as of December 31, 2003 |
| | | ||||
Granted in 2004 |
28,000 | $ | 12 | ||||
Outstanding as of December 31, 2004 |
28,000 | $ | 12 | 4,000 | |||

8,000 | $ | 12 | ||||
Outstanding as of December 31, 2005 |
36,000 | $ | 12 | 8,000 | |||
In accordance with SFAS 123, Wells REIT II estimated the fair value of each stock option granted in 2005 and 2004 as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:
2005 | 2004 | |||||
Risk-free rate |
3.81 | % | 3.88 | % | ||
Projected future dividend yield |
6.00 | % | 6.00 | % | ||
Expected life of the options |
6 years | 6 years | ||||
Volatility |
0.168 | 0.212 |
As none of the options described above have been exercised, Wells REIT II does not have relevant historical data on which to base an estimate of the expected life of the independent director options. The expected life of such options has been estimated to equal one-half of the sum of the contractual term (10 years), plus the weighted-average vesting period (2 years). As Wells REIT IIs common stock is not publicly traded, Wells REIT II does not have relevant historical data on which to base an estimate of volatility in the value of such options. The volatility of such options has been estimated to equal the average fluctuations in historical stock prices of publicly traded companies that are otherwise similar to Wells REIT II. Based on the above assumptions, the fair value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was insignificant. The weighted-average contractual remaining life for options that were exercisable as of December 31, 2005 was approximately eight years.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Wells REIT II maintains the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) that allows common stockholders to elect to reinvest an amount equal to the dividends declared on their common shares in additional shares of Wells REIT IIs common stock in lieu of receiving cash dividends. Under the DRP, shares may be purchased by participating stockholders at the higher of $9.55 per share or 95% of the estimated per share value, as estimated by Wells Capital or another firm chosen by the board of directors for that purpose. Participants in the DRP may purchase fractional shares so that 100% of the dividends will be used to acquire shares of Wells REIT IIs stock. Wells REIT II pays no dealer-manager fees on shares issued under the DRP. On August 10, 2005 Wells REIT II adopted an amended and restated DRP, which eliminated all commissions paid on shares issued under the DRP effective for the fourth quarter 2005 dividend payment. Prior to the adoption of the amended and restated DRP, Wells REIT II paid selling commissions of 5.0% in connection with sales under the DRP to the extent it paid commissions on the shares to which the dividends relate. The board of directors, by majority vote, may amend or terminate the DRP for any reason, provided that any amendment that adversely affects the rights or obligations of a
F-25
participant (as determined in the sole discretion of the board of directors) will only take effect upon 10 days written notice to participants.
Share Redemption Program
Wells REIT II maintains a Share Redemption Program (SRP) for stockholders who hold their shares for more than one year, subject to certain limitations. The SRP provides that Wells REIT II may repurchase a share of common stock for $9.10 per share, or 91% of the price paid for those shares sold for less than $10.00. This redemption price is expected to remain fixed until three years after Wells REIT II completes its offering stage. Wells REIT II will view its offering stage as complete upon the termination of its first public equity offering that is followed by a one-year period during which it does not engage in another public equity offering (other than secondary offerings or offerings related to a DRP, employee benefit plan, or the issuance of shares upon redemption of interests in Wells OP II). Thereafter, the redemption price would equal 95% of the per share value of Wells REIT II as estimated by Wells Capital or another firm chosen by the board of directors for that purpose.
Redemptions sought within two years of the death or qualifying disability (as defined in the SRP) of a stockholder do not require a one-year holding period, and the redemption price is the amount paid for the shares until three years after completion of the above-mentioned offering stage. At that time, the redemption price would be the higher of the amount paid for the shares or 100% of the estimated per share value of Wells REIT II.
Shares redeemed during a calendar year under the SRP, other than upon the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder, may not exceed (i) 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of shares through the DRP in the current calendar year or (ii) 5% of the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the preceding calendar year. In addition, Wells REIT II currently limits all redemptions during any calendar year, including redemptions upon death or qualifying disability, to those that can be funded with proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRP during the current calendar year. The board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the SRP at any time with 30 days notice. Approximately 1.6 million and 70,000 shares were redeemed under the SRP, during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On February 8, 2006, the board of directors of Wells REIT II approved an amendment to the SRP, which will become effective 30 days after the filing of this annual report on Form 10-K. The primary effect of these changes should be to increase the number of shares Wells REIT II can redeem upon the request of the heirs of its stockholders. The limits on Wells REIT IIs ability to redeem shares under the amended program are set forth below:
| Wells REIT II will not make an Ordinary Redemption until one year after the issuance of the share to be redeemed. Redemptions that do not occur within two years of a stockholders death or qualifying disability are Ordinary Redemptions. |
| Wells REIT II will not redeem shares on any redemption date to the extent that such redemptions would cause the amount paid for Ordinary Redemptions since the beginning of the then-current calendar year to exceed 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the DRP during such period. |
| Wells REIT II will limit Ordinary Redemptions and those in connection with a qualifying disability so that the aggregate of such redemptions during any calendar year do not exceed 100% of the net proceeds from the DRP during the calendar year. |
| Wells REIT II will limit all redemptions (including those upon death or qualifying disability of a stockholder) during any calendar year to no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year. |

8. | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Advisory Agreement
On October 20, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a new advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with Wells Capital, which entitles Wells Capital to earn specified fees for certain services. The Advisory Agreement is effective through October 19, 2006; however, either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days written notice. If initiating termination of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II would be obligated to pay all unpaid earned fees and reimbursements of expenses to Wells Capital.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells Capital receives the following fees and reimbursements:
| Reimbursement of organization and offering costs paid by Wells Capital on behalf of Wells REIT II, not to exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds; |
F-27
| Acquisition fees of 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, subject to certain limitations; Wells REIT II also reimburses Wells Capital for expenses it pays to third parties in connection with acquisitions or potential acquisitions; |
| Monthly asset management fees equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the cost of (1) all properties of Wells REIT II and (2) investments in joint ventures. The amount of these fees paid in any calendar quarter may not exceed 0.25% of the net asset value of those investments at each quarter-end after deducting debt used to acquire or refinance properties; |
| Reimbursement for all costs and expenses Wells Capital incurs in fulfilling its duties as the asset portfolio manager, including (i) wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of Wells Capitals employees, which perform a full range of real estate services for Wells REIT II, including management, administration, operations, and marketing, and are billed to Wells REIT II based on the amount of time spent on Wells REIT II by such personnel, provided that such expenses are not reimbursed if incurred in connection with services for which Wells Capital receives a disposition fee (described below) or an acquisition fee, and (ii) amounts paid for IRA custodial service costs allocated to Wells REIT II accounts; |
| For any property sold by Wells REIT II, a disposition fee equal to 1.0% of the sales price, with the limitation that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) for any Wells REIT II property sold may not exceed the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the sales price of each property or (ii) the level of real estate commissions customarily charged in light of the size, type, and location of the property; |
| Incentive fee of 10% of net sales proceeds remaining after stockholders have received distributions equal to the sum of the stockholders invested capital plus an 8% return of invested capital; and |
| Listing fee of 10% of the excess by which the market value of the stock plus dividends paid prior to listing exceeds the sum of 100% of the invested capital plus an 8% return on invested capital. |
Per the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II is required to reimburse Wells Capital for certain organization and offering costs up to the lesser of actual expenses or 2% of gross equity raised. As of December 31, 2005, Wells REIT II has incurred and charged to additional paid-in capital cumulative other offering costs of approximately $31.6 million related to the initial offering and $0.8 million related to the follow-on offering, which represents approximately 1.6% and 2.0% of cumulative gross equity raised by Wells REIT II under each offering, respectively. Wells Capital has incurred cumulative organization and offering costs on behalf of Wells REIT II of approximately $31.6 million related to the initial offering and $1.9 million related to the follow-on offering.
Dealer-Manager Agreement
Wells REIT II has executed a Dealer-Manager Agreement with WIS, whereby WIS, an affiliate of Wells Capital, performs the dealer-manager function for Wells REIT II. For these services, WIS earns a fee of up to 7% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the shares of Wells REIT II, of which substantially all is re-allowed to participating broker dealers.
Additionally, Wells REIT II is required to pay WIS a dealer-manager fee of up to 2.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Wells REIT IIs stock at the time the shares are sold. Under the dealer-manager agreement, up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds may be reallowed by WIS to participating broker dealers.
F-28
Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement
On November 24, 2004, Wells REIT II entered into a Master Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement (the Management Agreement) with Wells Management. In consideration for supervising the management, leasing, and construction of certain Wells REIT II properties, Wells REIT II will pay the following fees to Wells Management in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement:
| Property management fees in an amount equal to a percentage negotiated for each property managed by Wells Management of the gross monthly income collected for that property for the preceding month; |
| Leasing commissions for new, renewal, or expansion leases entered into with respect to any property for which Wells Management serves as leasing agent equal to a percentage as negotiated for that property of the total base rental and operating expenses to be paid to Wells REIT II during the applicable term of the lease, provided, however, that no commission shall be payable as to any portion of such term beyond ten years; |
| Initial lease-up fees for newly constructed properties under the agreement, generally equal to one months rent; |
| Fees equal to a specified percentage of up to 5% of all construction build-out funded by Wells REIT II, given as a leasing concession, and overseen by Wells Management; and |
| Other fees as negotiated with the addition of each specific property covered under the agreement. |

Economic Dependency
Wells REIT II has engaged Wells Capital and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT II, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of some properties owned by Wells REIT II, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of Wells REIT II common stock, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT II including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60 days written notice. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT II is dependent upon Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS.
Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (WREF). The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, Wells REIT II focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, Wells REIT II might be required to find alternative service providers.
Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of Wells REIT IIs common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, Wells REIT II believes that WREF generates adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

Dismissal of Litigation Against Related Parties
During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo. F. Wells, III, the president and a director of Wells REIT II, Wells Capital, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791-2). The Court granted the plaintiffs motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and the case was subsequently dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia Civil Action No. 04A-13051-6). The second action alleges, among other things, that: (i) Mr. Wells and Wells Capital breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I (Fund I), a previously syndicated real estate partnership sponsored by Wells Capital and Mr. Wells, in connection with certain disclosures and prior actions relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds, (ii) the defendants breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners of Fund I relating to an alleged waiver of deferred management fees, and (iii) certain misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners of Fund I caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, judgment against Mr. Wells and Wells Capital, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the general partners of Fund I; enforcement of the alleged contract relating to the alleged waiver of deferred management fees; and an award to the plaintiffs of their attorneys fees, costs, and expenses. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment and motions to dismiss the plaintiffs claims. Pursuant to orders entered July 1, 2005, the Court granted the defendants motions to dismiss and for summary judgment on all counts in the complaint. Thus, this action has now been dismissed, subject to the plaintiffs right to file a notice of appeal within the required time period. On August 3, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the Court to vacate and re-enter the orders to give the plaintiffs an opportunity to file a motion for reconsideration or notice of appeal. On February 15, 2006, the Court heard argument on the plaintiffs motion to vacate and to re-enter the judgments previously entered on July 1, 2005. Following the argument, the Court stated orally from the bench that he would grant the motion, so the judgments could be re-entered to allow the plaintiffs thirty days within which to file a notice of appeal.
9. | OPERATING LEASES |
Virtually all of Wells REIT IIs real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. The leases frequently have provisions to extend the lease agreement, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, and other terms and conditions as negotiated. Wells REIT II retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that the receivables exceed this amount. Security deposits related to tenant leases are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Wells REIT IIs tenants are generally of investment-grade quality and there are no significant concentrations of credit risk within any particular tenant. Tenants in the legal services and depository institution industries comprise 18% and 12%, respectively, of Wells REIT IIs 2005 annualized gross base rent. Wells REIT IIs properties are located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 14%, 12%, and 10% of Wells REIT IIs office and industrial properties are located in metropolitan Cleveland, metropolitan Atlanta, and metropolitan San Jose, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, Wells TRS incurred a net operating loss of approximately $107,000, for which the related tax benefit may be carried forward through 2025. Accordingly, Wells REIT II recorded a deferred tax asset and recognized the related tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations, respectively. Income tax benefit reported in the

accompanying consolidated statements of operations relates to Wells TRS and consists of the following (in thousands):

Income taxes for financial reporting purposes differ from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes (net of federal benefit). A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to Wells REIT IIs effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the 5 Houston Center Building (the Building) for the year ended December 31, 2004. This statement is the responsibility of the Buildings management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Buildings internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Buildings internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the 5 Houston Center Buildings revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of the 5 Houston Center Building for the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Statements of Revenues Over Certain Operating Expenses
For the Year Ended December 31, 2004 (audited)
and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 (unaudited)
1. Description of Real Estate Property Acquired
On December 20, 2005, Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (Wells REIT II), through two wholly owned subsidiaries, acquired the 5 Houston Center Building (the Building), a 27-story office building containing approximately 581,000 square feet located in Houston, Texas. Total consideration for the acquisition was approximately $166.0 million. Wells REIT II is a Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003 and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.
2. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate properties acquired. Accordingly, the statements exclude certain historical expenses that are not comparable to the proposed future operations of the property such as certain ancillary income, amortization, depreciation, interest and corporate expenses. Therefore, the statements will not be comparable to the statements of operations of the Building after its acquisition by Wells REIT II.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Rental Revenues
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The excess of rental income recognized over the amounts due pursuant to the lease terms is recorded as straight-line rent receivable. The adjustment to straight-line rent receivable increased rental revenue by approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 and increased rental revenue by approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Under the terms of the Ernst & Young, Jackson Walker, Jenkens & Gilchrist and Capgemini leases, each tenant is required to reimburse to the landlord its proportionate share of the Buildings operating expenses in excess of a base year. The remaining rentable square footage is leased to various office and retail tenants under lease agreements with terms that vary in length and with various reimbursement clauses.

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the Tampa Commons Building for the year ended December 31, 2004. This statement is the responsibility of the Tampa Commons Buildings management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Buildings internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Buildings internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Tampa Commons Buildings revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of the Tampa Commons Building for the year ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Key Center Properties Limited Partnership
Cleveland, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Key Center Properties Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, partners equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Key Center Properties Limited Partnership. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 Partnerships 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our report dated March 22, 2005, we expressed an opinion that the 2004 financial statements did not present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America because of a departure from such principles related to the Partnerships recording of certain investment properties purchased from affiliated entities and related other assets purchased and liabilities assumed at purchase price rather than at purchase price proportionate to the outside interests in the purchaser. As described in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Partnership has changed its methods of accounting for these items and has restated its 2004 financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, our present opinion on the restated 2004 financial statements, as expressed herein, is different from that expressed in our prior report on the previously issued 2004 financial statements.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Key Center Properties Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Key Center Properties Limited Partnership (Key Center Properties) was formed on December 18, 1996 for the purpose of operating an office building and subleasing certain real property to Key Center Lessee Limited Partnership (Key Center Lessee), a related entity.
On December 30, 1996, Key Center Properties purchased the leasehold interests in a 57-story office building, a 400-room hotel and a 985-space underground parking garage.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Key Center Lessee Limited Partnership. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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 Partnerships internal control over financial reporting.

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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Key Center Lessee Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
