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, 2007 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.
(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 per unit) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Partnership commenced active operations upon receiving and accepting subscriptions for 125,000 units on February 24, 1995. 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. Since the termination of the offering in 1996, the total number of outstanding Class B Units has decreased to 249,187 due to the
rescission of certain units.

The Partnership owns indirect interests in all of its real estate assets through joint ventures with other entities
affiliated with the General Partners. During the periods presented, the Partnership owned interests in the following joint ventures (the Joint Ventures) and 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 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, 2007.

Investment in Joint Ventures

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

Distributions of Net Cash from Operations

Net cash from operations, if available, 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.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | 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 Sale Proceeds

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



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

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

##### Table of Contents

Gain on the sale or exchange of the Partnerships properties will be allocated generally in the same manner that the
net proceeds from such sale are distributed to partners after the following allocations are made, if applicable: (a) allocations made pursuant to 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.

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

Management and Leasing Fees

The Partnership entered into a property management and leasing agreement with 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 Ventures, 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 Ventures and, accordingly, are 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 $20,486 and $17,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively, and $38,974 and $35,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 $25,162 and
$22,248 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $49,109 and $45,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, Wells Capital and
Wells Management pay for certain operating expenses of the Partnership (bill-backs) directly and invoices the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, due to
affiliates balances represent 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 all owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital and Wells Management represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, the Partnership focuses on the financial condition of WREF when assessing
the financial condition of Wells Capital and Wells Management. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, the Partnership might be required to find alternative service providers.

Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other things, the
level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of common stock for certain WREF-sponsored programs and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs, as well as anticipated dividend income
earned

from its holdings of common stock of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (Piedmont REIT), formerly known as Wells Real Estate Investment Trust,
Inc., which was acquired in connection with the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction (see Assertion of Legal Actions Against Related-Parties below). In addition, during 2007, WREF guaranteed certain debt of another WREF-sponsored product that
is in the start-up phase of its operations. As of June 30, 2008, the General Partners believe that WREF generates adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables
necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

As of July 31, 2008, the amount of the debt guaranteed by WREF was equal to
approximately $106.9 million.

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 Actions Against Related-Parties

On
March 12, 2007, a stockholder of Piedmont REIT, filed a putative class action and derivative complaint, presently styled In re Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court for the
District of Maryland against, among others, Piedmont REIT; Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, our General Partners; Wells Management, our property manager; certain affiliates of WREF; the directors of Piedmont REIT; and certain individuals
who formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT prior to the closing of the internalization transaction on April 16, 2007. The complaint alleges, among other things, violations of the federal proxy rules and breaches of fiduciary
duty arising from the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction and the related proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007, as amended. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and nullification of the
Piedmont REIT internalization transaction. On April 9, 2007, the District Court denied the plaintiffs motion for an order enjoining the internalization transaction. On April 17, 2007, the Court granted the defendants motion to
transfer venue to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and the case was docketed in the Northern District of Georgia on April 24, 2007. On June 7, 2007, the Court granted a motion to designate the class
lead plaintiff and class co-lead counsel. On June 27, 2007, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which attempts to assert class action claims on behalf of those persons who received and were entitled to vote on the Piedmont REIT proxy
statement filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007 and derivative claims on behalf of Piedmont REIT. On July 9, 2007, the Court denied the plaintiffs motion for expedited discovery related to an anticipated motion for a preliminary
injunction. On August 13, 2007, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 31, 2008, the Court granted in part the defendants motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court dismissed five of the
seven counts of the amended complaint in their entirety. The Court dismissed the remaining two counts with the exception of allegations regarding the failure to disclose in the Piedmont REIT proxy statement details of certain expressions of interest
in acquiring Piedmont REIT. On April 21, 2008, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint, which alleges violations of the federal proxy rules based upon allegations that the proxy statement to obtain approval for the Piedmont REIT
internalization transaction omitted details of certain expressions of interest in acquiring Piedmont REIT. The second amended complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified monetary damages, to nullify and rescind the internalization
transaction, and to cancel and rescind any stock issued to the defendants as consideration for the internalization transaction. On May 12, 2008, the defendants answered and raised certain defenses to the second amended complaint. On
June 23, 2008, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. As of the date of this filing, the time for the defendants to respond to the plaintiffs motion for class certification has not yet passed. The parties are presently
engaged in discovery. Mr. Wells, Wells Capital, and Wells Management intend to vigorously defend this action. Any financial loss incurred by Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates could hinder their ability to successfully manage
our operations and our portfolio of investments.

On August 24, 2007, two stockholders of Piedmont REIT filed a derivative complaint, styledDonald and
Donna Goldstein, Derivatively on behalf of Defendant Wells Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. v. Leo F. Wells, III, et al.,in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, on behalf of Piedmont REIT against, among others,
Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Capital, our General Partners, and a number of individuals who currently or formerly served as officers or directors of Piedmont REIT. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the consideration paid by
Piedmont REIT as part of the internalization transaction was excessive; that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Piedmont REIT; and that the internalization transaction unjustly enriched the defendants. The complaint seeks, among
other things, a judgment declaring that the defendants committed breaches of their fiduciary duties and were unjustly enriched at the expense of Piedmont REIT; monetary damages equal to the amount by which Piedmont REIT was damaged by the
defendants; an order awarding Piedmont REIT restitution from the defendants and ordering disgorgement of all profits and benefits obtained by the defendants from their wrongful conduct and fiduciary breaches; an order rescinding the internalization
transaction; and the establishment of a constructive trust upon any benefits improperly received by the defendants as a result of their wrongful conduct. On October 19, 2007, the Court verbally granted the defendants motion for a
protective order (and entered a written order on October 24, 2007) staying discovery until the Court rules on the defendants motion to dismiss the complaint. On October 31, 2007, the defendants filed their motion to dismiss the
plaintiffs derivative complaint. On December 19, 2007, the Court entered an order allowing the plaintiffs to take limited written discovery on the issue of derivative demand, but the order staying discovery entered in October 2007
otherwise remains in effect. The defendants responded to the limited discovery requested by the plaintiffs. On January 10, 2008, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which contains substantially the same counts against the same
defendants as the original complaint with certain additional factual allegations based primarily on events occurring after the original complaint was filed. In addition, the plaintiffs responded to the defendants motion to dismiss this
lawsuit. A hearing on the motion to dismiss was held on February 22, 2008. On March 13, 2008, the Court granted the defendants motion to dismiss. On April 11, 2008, the plaintiffs filed a notice to appeal the Courts
judgment granting the defendants motion to dismiss.



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

From time to time, the Partnership
and its General Partners are party 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, 2007.

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;

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



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

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



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

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

Portfolio Overview

We are currently in the disposition-and-liquidation phase of our life cycle. We have now sold six
properties. In April 2008, Fund VIII-IX Associates executed a month-to-month lease with Inland Madison LLC (Inland) which allowed Inland to occupy approximately 16,000 square feet at the US Cellular Building (or approximately 16% of the
US Cellular Building). Inland occupied space under this lease until May 2008. In June 2008, Fund VIII-IX Associates executed another month-to-month lease with Inland, which allows Inland to occupy the remaining space of approximately 27,000
square feet at the US Cellular Building (or approximately 26% of the US Cellular Building). The terms of the lease allow Inland to lease the space on a month-to-month basis, not to exceed approximately four months. Our focus at this time involves
concentrating on leasing and marketing efforts that we believe will ultimately result in the best disposition pricing of our assets for our limited partners.

The second quarter 2008 operating distributions to limited partners holding Class A Units decreased over the previous quarter primarily as a result of an increase in real estate taxes levied on the 305 Interlocken Building. We
anticipate that operating distributions to limited partners may remain low or be reserved in the near-term as a result of our intention to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs and capital improvements at the US Cellular Building.

In May 2008, the General Partners distributed net sale proceeds of approximately $3.0 million from the sales of the BellSouth Building, the outparcels of
land at Tanglewood Commons, and 14079 Senlac Drive. Once the details surrounding the timing of the capital requirements and the potential sales of the properties become known, the General Partners will evaluate if distributions of the remaining net
sale proceeds would be appropriate.

Property Summary

As we move further into the disposition-and-liquidation phase, our attention will shift to locating suitable buyers and negotiating purchase-sale contracts that will attempt to maximize the total return to our limited partners and minimize
contingencies and our post-closing involvement with buyers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating strategy entails funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of the Joint Ventures properties and the portfolio with operating cash
flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from the Joint Ventures, and assessing the amount of remaining cash flows that will be required to fund known future re-leasing costs and other capital improvements. 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 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, we generated net operating cash flows, including distributions received from the Joint Ventures, of approximately
$261,000. Operating distributions from the Joint Ventures are generally representative of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, less property operating expenses, management fees, general administrative expenses, and capital expenditures. During
2008, we used such net operating cash flows and cash on hand to fund operating distributions to Class A limited partners of approximately $271,000. 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 our share of tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for properties owned by the Joint Ventures. We
anticipate future operating distributions from the Joint Ventures will decrease in the near-term as a result of our intention to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs and capital improvements for the US Cellular Building.

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 $109,000 as of June 30, 2008.

##### Table of Contents

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 sale proceeds generated from the selective and strategic sale of 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 Ventures. We expect to
continue to use substantially all future net cash flows from operations to provide funding for such requirements. Future cash flows from operating activities will be primarily affected by distributions 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 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 acquiring properties on an all-cash basis that are preleased to creditworthy tenants 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 our 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 required to 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 approximately one month following calendar quarter-ends.
However, the Joint Ventures will reserve operating distributions, or a portion thereof, as needed in order to fund known capital and other expenditures. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flow
until depleted, at which point operating reserves are utilized to fund capital and other required expenditures. In the event that current and prior period accumulated operating cash flows are insufficient to fund such costs, net sale proceeds
reserves would then be utilized.

Results of Operations

Equity in Income of Joint Ventures

Equity in income of Joint Ventures was $37,273 and $78,321 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to
(i) a decline in operating income resulting from of the sale of 14079 Senlac Drive in November 2007, (ii) an increase in real estate taxes levied on the 305 Interlocken Building, partially offset by, (iii) an increase
in rental income at the US Cellular Building as a result of the Inland month-to-month lease.

##### Table of Contents

Equity in income of Joint Ventures was $91,193 and $210,347 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to (i) a decline in operating income resulting from the sale of 14079 Senlac Drive in November 2007, (ii) recognizing a gain on the sale of the remaining outparcels of land at
Tanglewood Commons in January 2007, (iii) an increase in real estate taxes levied on the 305 Interlocken Building, partially offset by, (iv) an increase in rental income at the US Cellular Building as a result of the Inland
month-to-month lease.

We expect equity in income of Joint Ventures to increase in the near-term as a result of the recently executed lease with Inland at
the US Cellular Building.

Expenses

General and
administrative expenses were $48,264 and $52,129 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily attributable to a timing difference related to incurring more investor communication costs in the second
quarter of 2007 than the second quarter of 2008.

General and administrative expenses were $120,026 and $101,702 for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees, printing and postage costs, and administrative costs, incurred in connection with reporting and regulatory requirements.

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

Interest and other income were $8,027 and $9,314 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily a result of (i) a decrease in the average amount of net sale proceeds held during the
respective periods as a result of the distribution of net sale proceeds to the limited partners in May 2008, (ii) a decrease in the average daily yield, partially offset by (iii) the net sale proceeds received from the sale of 14079
Senlac Drive in November 2007.

Interest and other income were $39,665 and $22,443 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
increase is primarily attributable to (i) an increase in the average amount of net sale proceeds held during the respective periods as a result of the net sale proceeds received from the sale of 14079 Senlac Drive in November 2007, partially
offset by (ii) the distribution of net sale proceeds to the limited partners in May 2008, and (iii) a decrease in the average daily yield.

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

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 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 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 Ventures assets by class are provided below:



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

In the event that the Joint Ventures utilize inappropriate useful lives or methods of depreciation, 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 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 assets and their 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. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information, dependent upon availability, in order of preference: (i) recently
quoted market prices, (ii) market prices for comparable properties, or (iii) the present value of undiscounted cash flows, including estimated salvage value. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of any
of our real estate assets held as of June 30, 2008.

Projections of expected future cash flows require management to estimate future market rental
income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, 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.

|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

|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.

There were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

our results of operations or financial condition, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against us during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, requiring disclosure under Item 103 of Regulation S-K.
