CAUTIONARY NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future
economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability
to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to partners, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered. See Item 1A. in the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements.

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND VIII, L.P.



CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)



|1. | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
|-- | -------------------------

Wells Real
Estate Fund VIII, L.P. (the Partnership) is a Georgia public limited partnership with Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. (Wells Partners), a Georgia nonpublic limited partnership, serving as its general
partners (collectively, General Partners). Wells Capital, Inc. (Wells Capital) serves as the corporate general partner of Wells Partners. Wells Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc.
(WREF). Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the president, sole director, and sole owner of WREF. The Partnership was formed on August 15, 1994 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning,
operating, improving, leasing, and otherwise managing income-producing commercial properties for investment purposes. Upon subscription, limited partners elected to have their units treated as Class A Units or Class B Units. Limited
partners have the right to change their prior elections to have some or all of their units treated as Class A Units or Class B Units one time during each quarterly accounting period. Limited partners may vote to, among other things,
(a) amend the partnership agreement, subject to certain limitations; (b) change the business purpose or investment objectives of the Partnership; and (c) add or remove a general partner. A majority vote on any of the
above-described matters will bind the Partnership, without the concurrence of the General Partners. Each limited partnership unit has equal voting rights regardless of class.

On January 6, 1995, the Partnership commenced a public offering of up to $35,000,000 of Class A or Class B limited partnership units ($10.00 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement on
Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering was terminated on January 4, 1996, at which time the Partnership had sold approximately 2,613,534 Class A Units and 590,735 Class B Units representing total limited
partner capital contributions of $32,042,689.

The Partnership owns indirect interests in all of its real estate assets through a joint
venture with an entity affiliated with the General Partners. During the periods presented, the Partnership owned an interest in the following joint venture (the Joint Venture) and properties:

|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation

The financial
statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of



Page 9

##### Table of Contents

Regulation S-X, and in accordance with such rules and regulations, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the General Partners, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary to fairly and consistently present
the results for these periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnerships Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Investment in Joint Venture

The Partnership has evaluated the Joint Venture and concluded that it is not a variable interest entity. The Partnership does not have control over the
operations of the Joint Venture; however, it does exercise significant influence. Approval by the Partnership as well as the other joint venture partners is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint
Venture, or its real property investments. Accordingly, the Partnership accounts for its investment in the Joint Venture using the equity method of accounting, whereby original investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for
contributions, distributions, and net income (loss) attributable to the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, all income (loss) and distributions are allocated to joint venture partners in accordance with their
respective ownership interests. Distributions of net cash from operations, if available, are generally distributed to the joint venture partners on a quarterly basis.

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

The Partnership continually monitors
events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets owned through the Partnerships investment in the Joint Venture may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are
present, which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the
estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that the
expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to their
respective estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are determined
based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present
value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value.

While various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair
value depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign
exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entitys own assumptions, as little, if any, related market
activity or information is available. Examples of Level 3 inputs include estimated holding periods, discount rates, market capitalization rates, expected lease rental rates, timing of new leases, and sales prices; additionally, the
Partnership may assign an estimated probability-weighting to more than one fair value estimate based on the Partnerships assessment of the likelihood of the respective underlying assumptions occurring as of the evaluation
date. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from

##### Table of Contents

different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Partnerships assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The
accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures was applied to the Partnerships outstanding nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities effective January 1, 2009.

Distributions of Net Cash from Operations

Net cash from operations, if available and unless reserved, is generally distributed quarterly to the limited partners as follows:



| |  |  | First, to all limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis until such limited partners have received distributions equal to a
10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Second, to the General Partners until the General Partners have received distributions equal to 10% of the total cumulative distributions paid by the
Partnership.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Third, to the limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis and the General Partners allocated on a basis of 90% and 10%,
respectively.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No distributions of net cash from operations will be made to limited partners holding Class B Units.

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

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



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



| |  |  | To limited partners holding units, which at any time have been treated as Class B Units, until each limited partner has received an amount necessary to
equal the net cash available for distribution previously received by the limited partners holding Class A Units on a per-unit basis;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received a cumulative 10% per annum return on their respective net
capital contributions, as defined;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | To limited partners on a per-unit basis until the limited partners have received an amount equal to their respective preferential limited
partners returns (defined as the sum of a 10% per annum cumulative return on net capital contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Class A Units and a 15% per annum cumulative return on net capital
contributions for all periods during which the units were treated as Class B Units);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | To the General Partners until they have received 100% of their respective capital contributions; in the event that the limited partners have received
aggregate cash distributions from the Partnership over the life of their respective investments in excess of a return of their respective net capital contributions, plus the preferential limited partner return, the General Partners shall receive an
additional sum equal to 25% of such excess; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners on a per-unit basis and 20% to the General Partners.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) clarified previously issued GAAP and issued new requirements related to Accounting Standards Codification Topic
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU 2010-6). The clarification component includes disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used in determining fair value, and providing fair value measurement
information for each class of assets and liabilities. The new requirements relate to disclosures of transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy, as well as the individual components in the rollforward of the lowest level (Level 3) in
the fair value hierarchy. This change in GAAP became effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2010, except for the provision concerning the rollforward of activity of the Level 3 fair value measurement, which will become effective for
the Partnership on January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-6 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships financial statements or disclosures.

Due from Joint Venture

As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due from joint venture as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009
represents operating cash flow generated by Fund VIII-IX Associates for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which is attributable to the Partnership.



|4. | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|-- | --------------------------

Management
and Leasing Fees

The Partnership entered into a property management and leasing agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc.
(Wells Management), an affiliate of the General Partners. In accordance with the property management and leasing agreement, Wells Management receives compensation for the management and leasing of the Partnerships properties owned
through the Joint Venture, equal to (a) 3% for management services and 3% for leasing services of the gross revenues collected monthly, plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to
exceed the fee customarily charged in arms-length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties, which is assessed periodically based on market studies, or (b) in the case of
commercial properties leased on a long-term net basis (ten or more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues over the first five years of the lease term. Management and leasing fees are paid
by the Joint Venture and, accordingly, are included in equity in income of joint venture in the accompanying statements of operations. The Partnerships share of management and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint
Venture and payable to Wells Management is $19,817 and $18,952 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $52,806 and $58,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Administrative Reimbursements

Wells
Capital, the corporate general partner of Wells Partners, one of the Partnerships general partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership, relating to accounting and other partnership administration,
and incur the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated among other entities affiliated with the General Partners based on estimates of the amount of time dedicated to each fund by individual administrative personnel. In the opinion of the
General Partners, this allocation is a reasonable estimation of such expenses. The Partnership incurred administrative expenses of $25,700 and $24,137 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the three months ended September 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively, and $80,776 and $75,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, Wells Capital and Wells Management pay for certain operating expenses of the Partnership (bill-backs)
directly and invoice the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliates as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 represents administrative
reimbursements and bill-backs due to Wells Capital and/or Wells Management.

Economic Dependency

The Partnership has engaged Wells Capital and Wells Management to provide certain essential services, including supervision of the management and leasing
of its properties, asset acquisition and disposition services, as well as other administrative responsibilities, including accounting services and investor communications and relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60
days written notice. As a result of these relationships, the Partnership is dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.

Wells
Capital and Wells Management are both owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital and Wells Management represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, the Partnership focuses on the financial condition of WREF
when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells



Page 13

##### Table of Contents

Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, the Partnership might be required to find alternative service providers.

Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other
things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of common stock for certain WREF-sponsored programs and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs, as well as distribution income
earned from its holdings of common stock of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (Piedmont REIT), which was acquired in connection with the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction (see Assertion of Legal Action Against
Related-Parties below). As of September 30, 2010, the Partnership has no reason to believe that WREF does not have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash flow from operations, cash on hand and other
investments, necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

The Partnership is also dependent upon the ability of
its current tenants to pay their contractual rent amounts as they become due. The inability of a tenant to pay future rental amounts would be likely to have a negative impact on the Partnerships results of operations. The Partnership is not
currently aware of any reason why its existing tenants will not be able to pay their contractual rental amounts as they become due in all material respects. Situations preventing the tenants from paying contractual rents could result in a material
adverse impact on the Partnerships results of operations.

Assertion of Legal Action Against Related-Parties

On March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont REIT filed a putative class action and derivative complaint, presently styled In re Wells Real Estate
Investment Trust, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against, among others, Piedmont REIT; Leo F. Wells, III, one of the Partnerships General Partners; Wells Capital, the
corporate general partner of Wells Partners, the Partnerships other General Partner; Wells Management, the Partnerships property manager; certain affiliates of WREF; the directors of Piedmont REIT; and certain individuals who formerly
served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT prior to the closing of the internalization transaction on April 16, 2007.

The
complaint alleged, among other things, violations of the federal proxy rules and breaches of fiduciary duty arising from the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction and the related proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, as
amended. The complaint sought, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and nullification of the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction.

On June 27, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which attempted to assert class action claims on behalf of those persons who received and were entitled to vote on the Piedmont REIT proxy
statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, and derivative claims on behalf of Piedmont REIT.

On March 31, 2008, the Court
granted in part the defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court dismissed five of the seven counts of the amended complaint in their entirety. The Court dismissed the remaining two counts with the exception of allegations
regarding the failure to disclose in the Piedmont REIT proxy statement details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. On April 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which alleges violations of the
federal proxy rules based upon allegations that the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction omitted details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. The second amended complaint
seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, to nullify and rescind the internalization transaction, and to cancel and rescind any stock issued to the defendants as consideration for the internalization transaction. On May 12,
2008, the defendants answered and raised certain defenses to the second amended complaint.

On June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a
motion for class certification. On September 16, 2009, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion for class certification. On September 20, 2009, the defendants filed a petition for

permission to appeal immediately the Courts order granting the motion for class certification with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition for permission to appeal was
denied on October 30, 2009. On April 13, 2009, the plaintiff moved for leave to amend the second amended complaint to add additional defendants. The court denied the plaintiffs motion for leave to amend on June 23, 2009.

On December 4, 2009, the parties filed motions for summary judgment. On August 2, 2010, the Court entered an order denying the
defendants motion for summary judgment and granting, in part, the plaintiffs motion for partial summary judgment. The Court ruled that the question of whether certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT constituted
material information required to be disclosed in the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction raises questions of fact that must be determined at trial. A trial date has not been set.

Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management believe that the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intend to
vigorously defend this action. Any financial loss incurred by Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates could hinder their ability to successfully manage the Partnerships operations and portfolio of investments.



|5. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|-- | -----------------------------

From time
to time, the Partnership and its General Partners are parties to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The Partnership is not currently involved in any litigation for which the outcome would, in the judgment of the
General Partners based on information currently available, have a materially adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us.



|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. See also Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
preceding Part I, as well as the notes to our financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Overview

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



| |  |  | Fundraising phase
| | - |  | -----------------

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



| |  |  | Investing phase
| | - |  | ---------------

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



| |  |  | Holding phase
| | - |  | -------------

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

##### Table of Contents



| |  |  | Positioning-for-sale phase
| | - |  | --------------------------

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



| |  |  | Disposition-and-liquidation phase
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

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

Portfolio Overview

We are currently in
the positioning-for-sale phase of our life cycle. We have sold six of the eight properties in which we have held interests. Our focus at this time involves leasing and marketing efforts that we believe will ultimately result in the best disposition
pricing of our assets for our limited partners.

The third quarter 2010 operating distributions to limited partners were reserved. We
anticipate that operating distributions to limited partners will be reserved in the near-term as a result of our intention to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs for our remaining properties.

Property Summary

As we move further
into the positioning-for-sale phase, we will continue to focus on re-leasing vacant space and space that may become vacant upon the expiration of our current leases. In doing so, we will seek to maximize returns to our limited partners by attempting
to negotiate long-term leases at market rental rates while attempting to minimize down time, re-leasing expenditures, ongoing property level costs, and portfolio costs. As properties are positioned for sale, our attention will shift to locating
suitable buyers, negotiating purchase-sale contracts that will attempt to maximize the total return to our limited partners, and minimize contingencies and potential post-closing obligations to buyers. As of October 31, 2010, the Partnership
owned interests in two properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating
strategy entails funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of the Joint Ventures properties and the portfolio with operating cash flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from the Joint Venture,
and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund known future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows are generally considered available for distribution to the Class A
limited partners and, unless reserved, are generally paid quarterly. To the extent that operating cash flows are insufficient to fund our recurring operations, net sale proceeds will be utilized. As a result, the ongoing monitoring of our cash
position is critical to ensuring that adequate liquidity and capital resources are available. Economic downturns in one or more of our core markets could adversely impact the ability of one or more of our tenants to honor lease payments and our
ability to re-lease space on favorable terms as leases expire or space otherwise becomes vacant. In the event of either situation, cash flows and, consequently, our ability to provide funding for capital needs could be adversely affected.

Short-Term Liquidity

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we generated net operating cash flows, including distributions received from the Joint Venture, of approximately $305,000. Operating distributions from the Joint Venture generally consist of rental
revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. We used such net operating cash flows to fund operating distributions to Class A limited partners
of approximately $244,000 and reserved the remainder to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs for our remaining properties. The extent to which any future operating distributions are paid to limited partners will be largely
dependent upon the amount of cash generated from the Joint Venture, our expectations of future cash flows, and determination of near-term cash needs to fund our share of tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for properties owned by
the Joint Venture. We anticipate future operating distributions from the Joint Venture may decline in the near-term as a result of our intention to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs for our remaining properties.

We believe that the cash on hand and operating distributions due from the Joint Venture are sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including
those provided for within our total liabilities of approximately $19,000, as of September 30, 2010.

Long-Term Liquidity

We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from operating cash flows generated from the properties owned by
the Joint Venture and net proceeds generated from the sale of those properties. Our future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, funding our share of tenant improvements, renovations, expansions, and other significant
capital improvements necessary for properties owned through the Joint Venture. We expect to continue to use substantially all future net cash flows from operations, including distributions received from the Joint Venture, to fund leasing costs and
capital expenditures necessary to position our properties for sale. To the extent that residual operating cash flows remain after considering these funding requirements, we would then distribute such residual operating cash flow to the limited
partners.

Capital Resources

The Partnership is an investment vehicle formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning, and operating income-producing real properties or investing in joint
ventures formed for the same purpose, and has invested all of the partners original net offering proceeds available for investment. Thus, it is unlikely that we will acquire interests in any additional properties or joint ventures.
Historically, our investment strategy has generally involved



Page 17

##### Table of Contents

acquiring properties on an all-cash basis that are preleased to creditworthy tenants through joint ventures with affiliated partnerships.

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

Operating cash flows, if available, are generally distributed from the Joint Venture to the Partnership approximately one month following calendar
quarter-ends. However, the Joint Venture will reserve operating distributions, or a portion thereof, as needed in order to fund known or anticipated capital and other expenditures. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing
current period operating cash flow until depleted, at which point operating reserves are utilized to fund capital and other required expenditures. In the event that current and prior period accumulated operating cash flows are insufficient to fund
such costs, net sale proceeds reserves are then utilized.

Upon evaluating the capital needs of the properties in which we currently own an interest, our General Partners have
determined to reserve net sale proceeds of approximately $523,000 to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs for our remaining properties.

Results of Operations

Equity in Income of Joint Venture

Equity in income of Joint Venture remained relatively stable at $53,557 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $54,529 for the three
months ended September 30, 2010.

Equity in income of Joint Venture increased from $147,969 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 to $159,682 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to incurring less maintenance expenses at the US Cellular Building in 2010 as compared to 2009.

##### Table of Contents



Absent leasing activity at the US
Cellular Building, we expect equity in income of Joint Venture to remain at similar levels in the near term; however, if we are unable to secure a replacement tenant for the 305 Interlocken Building in a timely manner (the current tenants
lease is scheduled to expire in August 2011), equity in income of Joint Venture would decline in the future.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income remained relatively stable at $286 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $318 for the three
months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest and other income decreased from $1,712 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to
$920 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in the average daily yield.

Future
levels of interest income will be largely dependent on the timing of future property dispositions and net sales proceeds distributions to the limited partners, and fluctuations in the average daily yield.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased from $33,516 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $38,412 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal services incurred in connection with regulatory reporting requirements in the third quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased from $133,594 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $149,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily
attributable to a temporary difference in accounting fees related to the timing of work performed by our external accountants during the year.

We anticipate that future general and administrative expenses will vary primarily based on future changes in our reporting and regulatory requirements.

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 help protect us from 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 our leases, the leases may not readjust their reimbursement rates frequently enough to cover inflation.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Summary

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to
use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If managements judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible
that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other



Page 20

##### Table of Contents

companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

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

Investment in Real Estate Assets

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit
of the assets to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of the Joint Ventures assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following useful
lives:



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

In the event that the
Joint Venture utilizes inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, our net income would be misstated.

Evaluating the
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying
amounts of the real estate assets in which we have an ownership interest through investment in the Joint Venture may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate
assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the
assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated
fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale, do not exceed the respective assets carrying values, we adjust the real estate assets to their respective estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of the property, plant, and
equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognize an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are determined based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted
market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value. We have determined that
there has been no impairment in the carrying value of any of our real estate assets held as of September 30, 2010.

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

Related-Party Transactions

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital and Wells
Management, affiliates of our General Partners, and their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management, and their affiliates for asset management; the management and leasing of our properties;

administrative services relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and incur the related expenses. See Note 4 to our financial statements included in
this report for a description of these fees and expense reimbursements we have incurred.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

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



|ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

We carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of Wells Partners, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarterly period covered
by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in
applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
