CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. (the
Partnership) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements include, in
particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated.
Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will,
expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, believe, continue, or other similar words. Specifically, among others, we consider statements concerning projections of future operating
results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of 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 that this report is
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Neither the Partnership nor the general partners make any representations or warranties (expressed or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ
materially from any 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 known and 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 limited partners; and maintain the value of our real
estate properties, may be significantly hindered. Some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in certain forward-looking statements follow:

| |  |  | Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. Leo F. Wells, III is the president and sole director of Wells Capital and the sole owner of Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. 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.

|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, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X, and in accordance with such rules and regulations, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
the General Partners, the statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments that are of a normal and recurring nature and necessary to fairly 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Distributions of Net Cash from Operations



Net cash from operations, if available, is generally distributed to limited partners
quarterly. In accordance with the partnership agreement, such distributions are paid first to the limited partners holding Class A Units until they have received a 10% per annum return on their respective net capital contributions, as defined. Then,
such distributions are paid to the General Partners until each has received 10% of the total amount distributed to date. Any remaining cash from operations is split between the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners on a
basis of 90% and 10%, respectively. No cash distributions will be made to the limited partners holding Class B Units.

Distribution of Sales Proceeds



Upon sales of properties, the net sale proceeds are 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 each limited
partner has received an amount equal to the excess of the original property purchase price over the price for which the property was sold, limited to the amount of depreciation, amortization, and cost recovery deductions taken by the limited
partners holding Class B Units with respect to such property;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | To limited partners 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 received by the limited partners holding Class A Units;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | To all limited partners on a per-unit basis until they 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 they 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 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;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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, and cost recover and the gain on the sale of assets. Net Income, as defined, of the Partnership is generally allocated each year in the same proportions that net cash from operations is
distributed to the limited partners holding Class A Units and the General Partners. To the extent the Partnerships Net Income in any year exceeds net cash from operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General
Partners.



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



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.

|3. | 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 consideration for the management and leasing of the Partnerships properties, the Joint Ventures pay Wells Management management and leasing fees equal to (a) of the gross revenues collected monthly, 3% for management services and
3% for leasing services, plus a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arms-length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same
geographic area for similar properties, or (b) in the case of commercial properties which are leased on a long-term net basis (ten or more years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues over the
first five years of the lease term. Management and leasing fees are paid by the Joint Ventures and, accordingly, included in equity in income of joint ventures in the accompanying statements of operations. The Partnerships share of management
and leasing fees and lease acquisition costs incurred through the Joint Ventures is $33,414 and $56,101 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Administration Reimbursements



Wells Capital, the general partner of Wells Partners, one of our general partners, and Wells Management perform certain administrative services for the Partnership,
relating to accounting and other partnership administration, and incurs 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 reimbursed Wells Capital and Wells Management for administrative expenses of $29,907 and
$20,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Administrative reimbursements of $9,693 and $9,063 are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively.



|4. | INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
|-- | ----------------------------



Basis of Presentation



The Partnership owned interests in eight properties during the periods presented through its ownership in the Joint Ventures. The Partnership does not have control over the operations of these Joint Ventures; however,
it does exercise significant influence. Approval by the Partnership, as well as the other joint venture partners, is required for any major decision or any action that would materially affect the Joint Ventures, or their real property investments.
Accordingly, the Partnerships investments in the Joint Ventures are recorded 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. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnerships Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

|5. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT
|-- | ----------------



On April 21, 2005, Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates sold Tanglewood Commons to an unrelated third party. The gross sales price, excluding closing costs, for Tanglewood Commons was $11,500,000. As a result of the sale, the
Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3.6 million and was allocated a gain of approximately $1.8 million. The Partnership holds equity interests of approximately 32.35% in Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates, the former owner of
Tanglewood Commons. The gain recognized from the sale of Tanglewood Commons may be adjusted as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.



|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 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provided in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.



|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;



Page 13



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | 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 real estate
assets are owned and operated by the Partnership during the initial lease terms of the tenants. Strategic dispositions could occur during this phase in order to capitalize on market conditions;



| |  |  | 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 moving from the holding phase to the beginning of the positioning-for-sale phase of our life cycle. We invested in the Joint Ventures, which originally acquired eight properties, of which three properties have
been sold with the closing of the Tanglewood Commons shopping center after the close of the quarter. Our focus on the remaining assets in the Joint Ventures involves increasing occupancy level within the portfolio and concentrating on re-leasing and
marketing efforts that we believe will ultimately result in the best disposition pricing for our investors.



We announced the first distribution of net sale proceeds to the limited partners, scheduled for the second quarter 2005, totaling approximately $5.3 million from the sales of Hannover Center, 15253 Bake Parkway, and
the Tanglewood Commons outparcel, as well as a portion of the early lease termination payment from Cirrus Logic, Inc. at 305 Interlocken Parkway.



After the close of the quarter, BellSouth Advertising & Publishing Corporation (BellSouth) signed a lease extension at the BellSouth Building. The lease
term has been extended an additional three years, however under terms of the amendment, BellSouth will reduce their leased square footage by approximately 12,000 square feet beginning in May 2006.



The first quarter 2005 annualized operating distributions to the Class A unit holders were
3.0%, after reserving distributions in the prior quarter. We anticipate that operating distributions may be reserved or remain low in the near term, considering the vacancy at 305 Interlocken Parkway, the re-leasing costs for the remaining vacant
space at the CH2M Hill Building, and the reduced cash flow resulting from the property sales. Once the details surrounding the extent of the capital requirements, as well as the outcome of the leasing efforts become known, we will evaluate if
distributions of the remaining net sale proceeds from 15253 Bake Parkway and Tanglewood Commons shopping center sales are appropriate.

| |  |  | Tanglewood Commons was sold on April 21, 2005, and the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3,600,000. Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates had previously sold a land
outparcel at Tanglewood in 2002, resulting in the receipt of net sale proceeds of approximately $170,000. The Partnership retains an ownership interest in two remaining outparcels, which will be marketed for sale now that the shopping center has
been sold. The General Partners will evaluate the capital needs of the Partnership to determine if all, or a portion of, the proceeds from the sale of the Tanglewood Commons shopping center can be distributed in 2005.

| |  |  | Hannover Center was sold on April 29, 2004, and the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $1,079,000. These proceeds are planned to be distributed in the second
quarter 2005.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The CH2M Hill Building is located in Gainesville, Florida. We renewed the lease with CH2M Hill, Inc. in the fourth quarter 2004 for an additional five years, extending the lease
term to November 2010. As part of the negotiation, the tenant reduced the size of its space, resulting in a lower occupancy of 83% for the building. We are aggressively marketing the remaining vacant space in this property.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The U.S. Cellular Building, located in Madison, Wisconsin, is 100% leased through May 2007.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The AT&T-Texas Building is currently 100% leased through July 2011.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 305 Interlocken Parkway is located in the Broomfield submarket of Denver, Colorado. Based on concerns over the tenants long-term viability, we renegotiated a lease termination
with the tenant in August 2004. The tenant paid $800,000 as a reimbursement for leasing costs, $1,300,000 for future leasing costs, $500,000 for operating expenses while the property is vacant, and $1,673,000 as a lease termination fee. We are
aggressively pursuing re-leasing opportunities at this building at this time.

| |  |  | 15253 Bake Parkway, located in Irvine, California, was sold on December 2, 2004, following the signing of a new 10-year lease with Gambro Healthcare, Inc. As a result of the sale,
the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $5,487,000. We have used approximately $288,000 of these proceeds to fund the Partnerships pro-rata share of the re-leasing costs. We are planning to distribute approximately
$3,613,000 of these proceeds to the limited partners in the second quarter 2005. The remaining proceeds have been reserved as the General Partners review the potential capital needs at the remaining properties in the Partnership.

As we transition from the holding phase 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 seek to maximize returns to the limited partners by negotiating long-term
leases at market rental rates while attempting to minimize down time, re-leasing expenditures, ongoing property level costs, and portfolio costs. As we move into the disposition and liquidation phase, our attention will shift to locating suitable
buyers, negotiating purchase-sale contracts that will attempt to maximize the total return to the limited partners and minimize contingencies and our post-closing involvement with the buyer.



Industry Factors



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



General Economic 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 environments effect on the real estate markets in which we operate.



Management believes that the U.S. economy is continuing on the path of slow, but steady recovery. Job growth is improving, with 2.2 million jobs created
in 2004, and with another 2.4 to 2.8 million projected to be added in 2005. Gross Domestic Product growth and renewed business confidence are fueling the job growth. However, uncertainty still exists in the economy, primarily due to high oil prices,
the war in Iraq, the trade deficit, and other global issues.

##### Table of Contents

The U.S. office real estate market has begun to show modest improvement. The strength of the overall
economy is having a positive impact on office real estate fundamentals. Positive absorption of office space combined with a decline in new construction has contributed to the increase in office occupancy rates for three consecutive quarters.
Although occupancy rates have increased, management does not expect that they will rise by more than 200 basis points annually. As a result, management anticipates that it could be a minimum of two to three years before vacancy rates reach the
equilibrium level of ten to twelve percent. Average asking rates stabilized in the second half of 2004. Management believes that renewed employment growth should benefit the office market; however, the uncertainty that still exists in the economy is
causing many firms to continue to be more cautious with their investment and hiring decisions. Importantly, management believes the pace and strength of the recovery for office real estate will vary by market. Market conditions vary widely by
geographical region, metropolitan area, submarket, and property.



The real estate capital transaction market continues to be very active. Capitalization rates (cap rates) have continued to decline in spite of the fact that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) increased the Federal Funds
Rate five times in 2004. Management believes that the decline in cap rates is predominately driven by increased capital flows into real estate. The spread between average cap rates and 10-year U.S. Treasuries narrowed in 2004; however, this was
primarily due to a drop in cap rates rather than a rise in 10-year U.S. Treasuries. In managements opinion, absent a significant move in interest rates or a significant decrease in the number of parties interested in acquiring real estate, cap
rates are not expected to significantly increase from their current levels in 2005.



Real Estate Funds with Current Vacancy or Near-term Rollover Exposure



Real estate funds, such as the Partnership, that own interests in properties with current vacancies or near-term tenant rollover may face a challenging
leasing environment. The properties within these funds will generally face lower rents and higher concession packages to the tenants in order to re-lease vacant space.



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

Equity in Income of Joint Ventures



Equity in income of Joint Ventures was $310,924 and $407,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2005 decrease is primarily attributable to the sales of Hannover Center in April 2004 and 15253 Bake Parkway
in December 2004, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense for all buildings owned through the Joint Ventures due to changing the estimated weighted-average composite useful life from 25 years to 40 years effective July 1, 2004.



We expect future equity in income of Joint Ventures to decrease as a result of
the sale of the Tanglewood Commons shopping center in April 2005.



Expenses
of the Partnership



Expenses of the Partnership were $44,285 and $30,349
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in administrative salaries, accounting fees, and legal costs, substantially all of which resulted from increased reporting and
regulatory requirements. We anticipate additional increases related to implementing and adhering to such reporting and regulatory requirements on a going forward basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our operating strategy entails funding expenses related to the recurring operations of the properties owned by the Joint Ventures with
operating cash flows, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund portfolio expenses, known re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. Any residual operating cash flows are distributed from the Joint Ventures
to the Partnership and are considered available for distribution to the limited partners. Distributions are generally paid to the limited partners quarterly. 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 the Joint Ventures tenants to honor lease payments and our ability to assist the Joint Ventures
in re-leasing 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 would be adversely affected.



Short-Term Liquidity



During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we generated net operating cash flows, including operating distributions received from the
Joint Ventures, of approximately $273,000, as compared to approximately $671,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The 2005 decrease is primarily attributable to a corresponding decrease in operating distributions received from the Joint
Ventures due to (i) the sale of Hannover Center in April 2004, (ii) an early lease termination of the sole tenant of 305 Interlocken Parkway, (iii) the sale of 15253 Bake Parkway in December 2004, (iv) funding the Partnerships pro rata share
of re-leasing costs at the CH2M Hill Building, and (v) funding the Partnerships pro-rata share of building improvements at the BellSouth Building. Distributions from the Joint Ventures are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant
reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. We have used net operating cash flow and cash on hand to pay operating distributions to limited partners.



Future operating distributions from the Joint Ventures are expected to remain low or be
reserved as we sell additional properties in subsequent periods and fund the Partnerships pro-rata share of anticipated leasing costs for the BellSouth Building and capital expenditure at the AT&TTexas Building. At this time, we
expect to continue to generate cash flows from operations, including operating distributions from the Joint Ventures, sufficient to cover our estimated future expenses. Future operating distributions paid to limited partners will be largely
dependent upon the amount of cash generated from the Joint Ventures, our expectations of future cash flows, and determination of near-term cash needs for tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for properties owned by the Joint
Ventures.



We believe that the cash on hand and operating distributions due
from the Joint Ventures are sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including liabilities of approximately $247,000 as of March 31, 2005.



Long-Term Liquidity



We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from operating cash flows generated from the Joint Ventures, and net proceeds generated from the selective and strategic sale of properties. Our
future long-term liquidity requirements will include, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, renovations, expansions and other significant capital improvements necessary for properties owned through the Joint Ventures. We expect to continue to
use substantially all future net cash flows from operations. Future cash flows from operating activities will be primarily affected by distribution received from the Joint Ventures, which are dependent upon net operating income generated by the
Joint Ventures properties, less reserves for known capital expenditures.



Capital Resources



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



Page 17

##### Table of Contents

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



The Joint Ventures fund 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 its properties for re-leasing. As leases expire, we will work with the Joint Ventures 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 provided for by the operations of the Joint Ventures will be funded by the Partnership and respective Joint
Venture partners on a pro-rata basis.



Operating cash flows, if available, are
generally distributed from the Joint Ventures to the Partnership during the first month following each calendar quarter-end. 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 property sale proceeds reserves would then be
utilized.



As of March 31, 2005, we have received, used, and held net proceeds
from the sale of properties as presented below:

Upon evaluating the capital needs of the properties in which we currently hold an interest,
our General Partners determined to hold reserves of net sale proceeds of approximately $1,450,000. Our General Partners anticipate distributing residual net sale proceeds of approximately $5,300,000 in the second quarter of 2005 as further described
below. Net sale proceeds of approximately $3,636,000 attributable to the Partnership from the April 21, 2005 sale of the Tanglewood Commons shopping center were held at Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates and transferred to the Partnership in April 2005.

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds



In December 2004, the General Partners announced their intention to distribute net sale proceeds of approximately $5,300,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to the limited
partners of record as of March 31, 2005, which, under the terms of the partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after December 31, 2004. From total net sale proceeds of approximately $7,174,857, we used $288,401 and
$136,456 to fund the Partnerships share of re-leasing costs at 15253 Bake Parkway and the CH2M Hill Building, respectively, intend to distribute approximately $5,300,000 to the limited partners, and retain the residual balance of approximately
$1,450,000 in reserve in order to fund future capital expenditure costs of the Partnership.



This distribution has not been formally declared by the General Partners. In accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners may elect to retain reserves deemed reasonably necessary for
the Partnership at the sole discretion of the General Partners. Thus, should a change in circumstances prior to the intended distribution date require the General Partners to reevaluate the Partnerships reserve requirements, it is possible
that this distribution may not occur, or distributions may be made at a lower amount.



Related-Party Transactions



Related-Party Fees and
Reimbursements



We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital, Wells
Management, an affiliate 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 3 to our financial statements included in this report for a description of these fees and
expense reimbursements we have incurred.



Economic Dependency



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



Wells Capital and Wells Management are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (WREF). The operations of Wells Capital and Wells Management represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, the
Partnership focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, the Partnership might be
required to find alternative service providers.



WREFs net income was
approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. 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 of Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., an affiliated real estate investment trust for which Wells Capital serves as the advisor, and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions
of real estate assets by Wells-sponsored programs. As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WREF held cash balances of approximately $16.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. WREF believes that it has adequate liquidity available in the form
of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its obligations as they become due.

Litigation Against Related Parties



During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo F. Wells, III, our General Partner, Wells Capital,
the corporate general partner of our other General Partner, and Wells Management. The Court granted the plaintiffs motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was 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. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs claims. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiffs filed
briefs in opposition to the defendants motions to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on these pending motions. The details of both complaints are outlined below.



As a matter of background, on or about March 12, 2004, a putative class action complaint (the Original Complaint) was filed by
four individuals (the plaintiffs) against Wells Real Estate Fund I, and Wells Capital, and Leo F. Wells, III (collectively, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I), as well as Wells Management and Wells Investment
Securities, Inc. (WIS) (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791 2). Wells Real Estate Fund I is a public limited partnership. The plaintiffs filed the
Original Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 15, 2003. The Original Complaint alleged, among other things, that (a) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, WIS,
and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and fraudulently made false statements and material omissions in connection with the initial sale (September 6, 1984September 5, 1986) of the B units to investors of Wells Real Estate Fund I by making
false statements and omissions in sales literature relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds to holders of B units, among other things; (b) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I negligently and
fraudulently misrepresented and concealed disclosure of, among other things, alleged discrepancies between such statements and provisions in the partnership agreement for a period of time in order to delay such investors from taking any legal,
equitable, or other action to protect their investments in Wells Real Estate Fund I, among other reasons; (c) Mr. Wells and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners; and
(d) the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Real Estate Fund I breached fiduciary duties to the limited partners. On June 3, 2004, the Court granted the plaintiffs motion to permit voluntary dismissal, and the Original
Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.



On or about November 24, 2004, the
plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint (the Complaint) against Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Wells Real Estate Fund I (Hendry et al. v Leo Fl Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett
County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04A-13051 6) (the Hendry Action). The plaintiffs filed the Complaint purportedly on behalf of all limited partners holding B units of Wells Real Estate Fund I as of January 9, 2002. The Complaint
alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I breached their fiduciary duties to the limited partners by, among other things, (a) failing to timely disclose alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and
the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale proceeds; (b) engaging in a scheme to fraudulently conceal alleged inconsistencies between sales literature and the partnership agreement relating to the distribution of net sale
proceeds; and (c) not accepting a settlement offer proposed by a holder of A units and a holder of A and B units in other litigation naming Wells Real Estate Fund I as a defendant, in which other litigation the court subsequently granted summary
judgment in favor of Wells Real Estate Fund I. The Complaint also alleges that misrepresentations and omissions in an April 2002 consent solicitation to the limited partners caused that consent solicitation to be materially misleading. In addition,
the Complaint alleges, among other things, that the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I and Wells Management breached an alleged contract arising out of a June 2000 consent solicitation to the limited partners relating to an alleged waiver
of deferred management fees.



The plaintiffs seek, among other remedies, the
following: judgment against the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, jointly and severally, in an amount to be proven at trial; punitive damages; disgorgement of fees earned by the General Partners directly or through their affiliates; a
declaration that the consent obtained as a result of an April 2002 consent solicitation is null and void; enforcement of an alleged contract arising out of the June 2000 consent solicitation to waive Wells Managements deferred management fees;
and an award to

plaintiffs of their attorneys fees, costs and expenses. The Complaint states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary party defendant
and that the plaintiffs seek no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the plaintiffs claims. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiffs filed briefs in opposition
to the defendants motions to dismiss. The Court has not yet ruled on these pending motions. Due to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. However,
an adverse outcome could adversely affect the ability of Wells Capital, Wells Management, and Mr. Wells to fulfill their respective duties under the agreements and relationships they have with us.



The Hendry Action states that Wells Real Estate Fund I is named only as a necessary defendant
and that the plaintiffs are seeking no money from or relief at the expense of Wells Real Estate Fund I. Since the partnership agreement of Wells Real Estate Fund I contains no provision for advancing defense costs to the General Partners of Wells
Real Estate Fund I in connection with litigation involving the partnership in instances where the plaintiffs are seeking no monetary relief from the partnership, the General Partners of Wells Real Estate Fund I, currently Wells Capital, are funding
the legal fees, costs, and expenses relating to this litigation. As of March 31, 2005, Wells Capital had incurred approximately $215,000 in legal fees, costs, and expenses related to defending the Hendry Action. At this time, management is unable to
determine whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote.



Conflicts of Interests



Our General
Partners are also general partners of other affiliated public limited partnerships (the Wells Real Estate Funds). In addition, Wells Capital sponsors and advises two affiliated real estate investment trusts (the REITs) in
which it retains residual interests. As such, there may exist conflicts of interest whereby the General Partners, in their capacity as general partners of other Wells Real Estate Funds or as the advisor to the REITs, may be in competition with us
with respect to, among other things, locating suitable replacement tenants or prospective acquirers for property dispositions.



Inflation



The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past three years due to the relatively low inflation rate. However, there are provisions in the majority of tenant leases which should
protect us from the impact of inflation. These provisions include 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. There is no assurance, however, that we would be able to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rental rates.



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 managements judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different
accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of
companies in similar businesses.



Below is a discussion of the accounting
policies used by the Partnership and the Joint Ventures, which are considered 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 will be required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its depreciable assets. We will consider the period of future
benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of the Joint Ventures assets by class are as follows:



|                      |  |            
|--------------------- |  | -----------
|Buildings             |  | 40 years   
|Building improvements |  | 10-25 years
|Land improvements     |  | 20 years   
|Tenant improvements   |  | Lease term 



Effective July 1, 2004, the Joint
Ventures extended the weighted-average composite useful life for all building assets from 25 years to 40 years, which resulted in an increase to our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005. We believe that this change more appropriately
reflects the estimated useful lives of real estate assets and is consistent with prevailing industry practice. In the event that the Joint Ventures utilize inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, our net income would be
misstated.



Valuation 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, either directly or through investments in the Joint Ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which indicate 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 carrying value of the real estate assets 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, management adjusts the real estate assets to the fair value and
recognizes an impairment loss. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets we held as of March 31, 2005.



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



American Jobs Creation Act of 2004



The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) added Section 470 to the
Internal Revenue Code, which provides certain limitations on the utilization of losses allocable to leased property owned by a partnership having both taxable and tax-exempt partners such as the Partnership. Currently, it is unclear as to how the
transition rules and effective dates set forth in the Act will apply to entities such as the Partnership. However, on March 11, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service issued IRS Notice 2005-29 announcing that the IRS will not apply Section 470 to
partnerships for taxable year 2004 based solely on the fact that a partnership had both taxable and tax-exempt partners. It is important to note that IRS Notice 2005-29 provides relief for partnerships for taxable year 2004 only. Accordingly, unless
Congress passes corrective legislation which addresses this issue or some other form of relief from the provisions of Section 470 of the Act is granted, based on a strict reading of the Act, beginning in 2005 and thereafter, future passive losses
allocable to Class B limited partners may only be used to offset passive income generated from the same property or within the same fund.



Subsequent Event



On April 21, 2005, Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates sold Tanglewood Commons to an unrelated third party. The gross sales price, excluding closing costs, for Tanglewood Commons was $11,500,000. As a result of the sale,

the Partnership received net sale proceeds of approximately $3.6 million and was allocated a gain of approximately $1.8 million. The Partnership holds equity
interests of approximately 32.35% in Fund VI-VII-VIII Associates, the former owner of Tanglewood Commons. The gain recognized from the sale of Tanglewood Commons may be adjusted as additional information becomes available in subsequent periods.



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



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



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



The Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management of Wells Capital, the corporate general partner of one of our
General Partners, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Partnerships disclosure controls and procedures were effective.



There were no significant changes in the Partnerships internal control over
financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Partnerships internal control over financial reporting.
