SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED NOVEMBER 16, 2005

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED NOVEMBER 10, 2005

 

This document supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, our prospectus dated November 10, 2005 relating to our follow-on offering of 300,600,000 shares of common stock. Capitalized terms used in this supplement have the same meanings as set forth in the prospectus. The purpose of this supplement is to disclose:

 

    status of our ongoing public offerings;

 

    information regarding our indebtedness;

 

    the acquisition of a six-story office building containing a total of approximately 250,000 rentable square feet in Irving, Texas;

 

    “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” similar to that filed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005, filed on November 14, 2005; and

 

    our unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Status of Our Public Offerings

 

We commenced our initial public offering of 785 million shares of common stock on December 1, 2003. Of the 785 million shares of common stock, we are offering up to 600 million shares in a primary offering and up to 185 million shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan. We have sold (and continue to offer) shares in our initial public offering at the same prices as those offered hereby in our follow-on offering. Our affiliated dealer manager is offering the shares in our initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis, which means that our dealer manager is not obligated to sell any of the shares. As of November 11, 2005, we had received aggregate gross offering proceeds of approximately $1.9 billion from the sale of approximately 187.0 million shares in our initial public offering. After incurring approximately $37.3 million in acquisition fees, approximately $177.6 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees, approximately $30.5 million in other organization and offering expenses, and funding common stock redemptions of approximately $13.3 million pursuant to the share redemption program, as of November 11, 2005, we had raised aggregate net offering proceeds of approximately $1.6 billion under our initial public offering. As our two-year 600 million offering is coming to a close, we will no longer accept subscriptions dated after November 26, 2005 in our initial public offering.

 

On November 10, 2005, we commenced this follow-on offering of 300,600,000 shares of common stock Of these shares, we are offering 300,000,000 shares in a primary offering and 600,000 shares under our dividend investment plan. As of November 15, 2005, we had not issued any shares in our follow-on offering.

 

Indebtedness

 

As of November 11, 2005, our leverage ratio, that is, the ratio of total debt to total purchase price of real estate assets plus cash and cash equivalents, was approximately 24%. As of November 11, 2005, total indebtedness was $510.0 million, which consisted of fixed-rate mortgages on certain properties. No amounts were outstanding under our $400.0 million credit facility. Based on the value of our borrowing-base properties, we had approximately $259.1 million in remaining capacity under our $400.0 million credit facility, of which $9.2 million was pledged in the form of letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs.

 

Acquisition of MacArthur Ridge I Building

 

On November 15, 2005, we purchased a six-story office building containing approximately 250,000 rentable square feet (the “MacArthur Ridge I Building”). The MacArthur Ridge I Building is located on an approximate 6.5-acre parcel of land at 919 Hidden Ridge in Irving, Texas. The purchase price of the MacArthur Ridge I Building was approximately $45.2 million, plus closing costs. The acquisition was funded with net proceeds raised from our initial

public offering. The MacArthur Ridge I Building was purchased from MP-2 Limited Partnership, which is not affiliated with us or Wells Capital, Inc.

 

The MacArthur Ridge I Building, which was completed in 1998, is entirely leased to Verizon Corporate Services Group, Inc. (“Verizon Services”). Verizon Services is a subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”), a guarantor of the lease. Verizon, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: VZ), is one of the world’s leading providers of communications services with a work force of 214,000 in four business units: Domestic Telecom, Verizon Wireless, Information Services and International. Domestic Telecom provides customers with wireline and other telecommunications services, including broadband. Verizon Wireless owns and operates a wireless network that serves 47.4 million voice and data customers across the United States. Information Services operates directory publishing businesses and provides electronic commerce services. International includes wireline and wireless operations and investments, primarily in the Americas and Europe. Verizon reported a net worth, as of June 30, 2005, of approximately $38.6 billion. The current annual base rent payable under the Verizon Services lease, which commenced in June 1998 and expires in June 2008, is approximately $4.1 million. Verizon Services has the right, at its option, to extend the initial term of its lease for one additional five-year period.

 

We do not intend to make significant renovations or improvements to the MacArthur Ridge I Building in the near term. We believe that the MacArthur Ridge I Building is adequately insured.

 

Because the MacArthur Ridge I Building is leased to a single tenant on a long-term basis under a net lease that transfers substantially all of the operating costs to the tenant, we believe that the financial condition and results of operations of the guarantor of the lease, Verizon, is more relevant to investors than financial statements of the property acquired.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operation as of and for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2005

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and notes thereto, as well as notes to our consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in our prospectus dated November 10, 2005. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified with the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” or similar words. Actual

results may differ from those described in forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated, see “Risk Factors” in the prospectus.

 

We were formed on July 3, 2003, and began to receive investor proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock and acquire real estate assets during 2004. Thus, the results of our operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 reflect growing operational revenues and expenses resulting from the acquisition of real properties, fluctuations in interest expense resulting from using varying levels of short- and long-term debt financing for such acquisitions, and relatively high general and administrative expenses, which have declined as a percentage of total revenues for 2005, as compared to 2004, commensurate with the operational growth of the enterprise.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we generated net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $44.5 million, which is primarily comprised of receipts of rental revenues, tenant reimbursements, and interest income, less payments for property operating expenses, asset and property management fees, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses. From cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from master leases and cash on hand, we paid dividends to stockholders of approximately $53.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we generated net cash flow from financing activities of approximately $809.2 million, primarily as a result of raising net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under our public offering of approximately $971.2 million, net of commissions and dealer-manager fees, and borrowing approximately $347.9 million. Such cash inflows from financing activities were primarily used to repay outstanding balances on the BOA Line of Credit, the Wachovia Line of Credit, and notes payable of approximately $336.4 million, to invest approximately $693.1 million in real estate and related assets and liabilities, to pay other offering costs of approximately $16.6 million, and to pay acquisition fees of approximately $22.8 million. We expect to utilize residual cash and cash equivalents of approximately $152.0 million as of September 30, 2005 to satisfy current liabilities, pay future dividends, fund future anticipated acquisitions of real properties, or reduce indebtedness.

 

We are currently experiencing increased market competition to acquire high-quality commercial office properties. At the same time, we continue to have capital inflows due to the sale of our equity securities, including investments of approximately $195.0 million funded by a nonrecurring special distribution paid in June 2005 by Wells REIT I, another Wells-sponsored investment program, to its stockholders. Though we anticipate receiving some additional investments in our equity securities funded by the special distribution paid to stockholders of Wells REIT I, we do not expect future additional investments from this special distribution to be significant.

 

On September 7, 2005, our board of directors declared a daily dividend for the fourth quarter of 2005, which is anticipated to be paid in December 2005, in an amount equal to an annualized $0.60 per share. Dividends declared for the fourth quarter of 2005 are consistent with dividends declared and paid for the first three quarters of 2005 on a per share basis. The combination of continuing sales of equity and the increase of the prices for high-quality commercial office properties has created downward pressure on our annualized dividend. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our funds from operations of $52.9 million (see “Funds From Operations” below), when combined with master lease receipts of $15.1 million, was adequate to fund the payment of dividends to our stockholders of $53.2 million. However, due to the timing of cash receipts and payments from operations, we may periodically be required to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet our dividend payment schedule. Our primary focus is to continue to maintain the quality of our portfolio. Accordingly, we will opt to lower the dividend rather than compromise that quality or accumulate significant borrowings to meet a dividend level higher than operating cash flow would support. We will continue to carefully monitor our cash flows and market conditions, and their impact on our earnings and future dividend projections.

 

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We intend to continue to generate capital from the offering of common stock and from borrowings to expand and diversify our portfolio. We expect to fund our future acquisitions with proceeds from the offering of common stock and capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit. As of October 31, 2005, we held a cash balance of approximately $224.5 million, of which we anticipate using the majority to fund the acquisition of two properties

Index to Financial Statements

that are currently under contract (see “Events Subsequent to September 30, 2005” below). As of October 31, 2005, we had no amount outstanding under the Wachovia Line of Credit. We pledged approximately $9.2 million of our borrowing capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit to letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs. After considering the letters of credit, we had a remaining borrowing capacity, as of October 31, 2005, of up to $249.9 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit. Accordingly, we believe that we have adequate capacity to acquire the aforementioned properties, expand our portfolio, and meet our operating cash flow needs.

 

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We expect that potential sources of capital over the long term will include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, and net cash flows from operations. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, for the payment of tenant improvements, for the payment of offering-related costs, for the payment of operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, and for the payment of dividends.

 

In determining how and when to allocate cash resources, we initially consider the source of the cash. We expect that substantially all future net operating cash flows, after payments for certain capital expenditures such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions, will be used to pay dividends. However, we may use other sources of cash, such as borrowings, to fund dividends from time to time (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Overview” above). We expect to use substantially all net cash flows generated from raising equity or debt financing to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified upon acquisition, or repayments of outstanding borrowings. To the extent that sufficient equity or debt capital is not available, our future investments in real estate will be lower.

 

As further discussed in Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we entered into an agreement to purchase an office building, which is currently under construction, in Lancaster, South Carolina, for a gross purchase price of approximately $33.7 million, plus closing costs and an allowance for tenant improvements and leasing costs not to exceed $1.8 million upon completion. We anticipate construction of the Decision One Building to be completed in June 2006. We anticipate paying for this acquisition with equity proceeds, borrowings on the Wachovia Line of Credit, or a combination thereof, the allocation of which will depend upon the timing and amount of additional capital to be raised and future property acquisitions.

 

As of September 30, 2005, our contractual obligations are as follows (in thousands):

Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation, and amortization and net income will increase in future periods as a result of owning the assets acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and as a result of future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Index to Financial Statements

We commenced our initial public offering on December 1, 2003. Following the receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for the minimum offering of $2,500,000 (250,000 shares) on January 22, 2004, we acquired 14 real properties during the first nine months of 2004. During the remainder of 2004 and first nine months of 2005, we invested in 18 additional properties, which increased the total number of properties held in our portfolio to 32 as of September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the results of operations presented for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 are not directly comparable.

 

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2005 versus the three months ended September 30, 2004

 

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $15.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $35.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Interest and other income increased from approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of holding additional investor proceeds during the third quarter of 2005, which were generated from the sale of common stock under our ongoing offering during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Future levels of interest income will be largely dependent upon the rate at which investor proceeds are raised and the timing and availability of future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $4.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $13.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of additional real estate assets.

 

Depreciation of real estate and amortization of related lease costs increased from approximately $2.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $6.5 million and $11.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of properties during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Amortization of related lease costs increased by a greater amount than depreciation primarily as a result of amortizing related lease costs over shorter periods (the respective lease terms), as compared to depreciating buildings over 40 years. Depreciation and amortization are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to increases in administrative salary expense reimbursements related to owning a larger portfolio of real estate assets as a result of acquiring properties during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. General and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues decreased from approximately 6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 to approximately 3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the acquisition of additional real properties, we anticipate future general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as measured in gross dollars and to continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we achieve greater economies of scale with a larger portfolio of real estate assets in future periods, as compared to historical periods.

 

Interest expense decreased from approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the fact that average borrowings under our lines of credit decreased from approximately $287.9 million during the third quarter of 2004 to $0 during the third quarter of 2005. Future levels of interest expense will vary primarily based on the amounts of

 

5


Index to Financial Statements

future borrowings and the cost of borrowing. Future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate assets or interests therein. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will be largely dependent upon the level of additional investor proceeds raised, the opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, and the timing of such future acquisitions.

 

Minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries increased from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $83,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of acquiring an approximate 95% interest in a joint venture that owns the Highland Landmark III property on December 28, 2004. In addition, we acquired interests in two properties, the Nashoba Buildings and the Baldwin Point Building, through separate joint ventures with minority interest partners in August 2005. Earnings allocated to minority interest partners fluctuate based on the level of earnings generated by related properties and the nature of the allocation provisions provided in respective joint venture agreements. Accordingly, minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the Nashoba Buildings and the Baldwin Point Building for an entire period.

 

We recognized net income and net income per share of approximately $5.2 million and $0.03, respectively, for the third quarter of 2005, as compared to net loss and net loss per share of approximately ($1.7) million and ($0.04), respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to the fact that the increase in net operating income generated from our growing portfolio of properties outpaced the increase in property and portfolio expenses for the third quarter of 2005, as compared to the third quarter of 2004. Net income is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2004

 

Rental income and tenant reimbursements increased from approximately $20.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $90.7 million and $19.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Rental income and tenant reimbursements are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, as a result of owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Interest and other income increased from approximately $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of holding additional investor proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which were generated from the sale of common stock under our ongoing offering during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Future levels of interest income will be largely dependent upon the rate at which investor proceeds are raised and the timing and availability of future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Property operating costs and asset and property management fees increased from approximately $6.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $31.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of the growth in the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Property operating costs and asset and property management fees are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of additional real estate assets.

 

Depreciation of real estate and amortization of related lease costs increased from approximately $3.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $15.8 million and $29.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the acquisition of properties during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. Amortization of related lease costs increased by a greater amount than depreciation primarily as a result of amortizing related lease costs over shorter periods (the respective lease terms), as compared to depreciating buildings over 40 years. Depreciation and amortization are expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

Index to Financial Statements

General and administrative expenses increased from approximately $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to increases in administrative salary expense reimbursements related to owning a larger portfolio of real estate assets as a result of acquiring properties during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the first three quarters of 2005. General and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenues decreased from approximately 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In connection with the acquisition of additional real properties, we anticipate future general and administrative expenses to continue to increase as measured in gross dollars and to continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues as we achieve greater economies of scale with a larger portfolio of real estate assets in future periods, as compared to historical periods.

 

Interest expense increased from approximately $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The additional interest expense incurred during 2005 relates primarily to amounts drawn on our lines of credit and in the form of new mortgage notes and mortgage notes assumed in connection with acquisitions of properties during the first six months of 2005. Future levels of interest expense will vary primarily based on the amounts of future borrowings and the cost of borrowing. Future borrowings will be used primarily to fund future acquisitions of real estate assets or interests therein. Accordingly, the amounts of future borrowings and future interest expense will be largely dependent upon the level of additional investor proceeds raised, the opportunities to acquire real estate assets consistent with our investment objectives, and the timing of such future acquisitions.

 

Minority interest increased from approximately $7,000 in loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to approximately $189,000 in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of acquiring an approximate 95% interest in a joint venture that owns the Highland Landmark III property on December 28, 2004. In addition, we acquired interests in two properties, the Nashoba Buildings and the Baldwin Point Building, through separate joint ventures with minority interest partners in August 2005. Earnings allocated to our minority interest partners fluctuate based on the level of earnings generated by related properties and nature of the allocation provisions provided in respective joint venture agreements. Accordingly, minority interest in earnings (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the Nashoba Buildings and the Baldwin Point Building for an entire period.

 

We recognized net income and net income per share of approximately $7.5 million and $0.06, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to net loss and net loss per share of approximately ($4.6) million and ($0.23), respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to the fact that the increase in net operating income generated from our growing portfolio of properties outpaced the increase in property and portfolio expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Net income is expected to continue to increase in future periods, as compared to historical periods, due to owning the assets acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 for an entire period and future acquisitions of real estate assets.

 

Funds From Operations

 

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Our management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National

 

7


Index to Financial Statements

Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

 

We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most relevant measure of our operating performance and, accordingly, believe that FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income.

 

Noncash items such as depreciation, amortization, and gains on the sale of real estate assets are excluded from our calculation of FFO. Conversely, FFO is not adjusted to reflect the cost of capital improvements or any related capitalized interest. Our calculation of FFO is presented in the following table (in thousands, except for weighted-average shares outstanding):

Set forth below is additional information related to selected material cash and non-cash items included in or excluded from net income (loss) above, which may be helpful in assessing our operating results:

 

Included in Net Income (Loss):

 

    We recognized straight-line rental revenues of approximately $4.4 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $9.9 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively;

 

    We recognized amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities as a net decrease to rental revenues of approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $2.5 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and

 

    We recognized amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $1.2 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Excluded from Net Income (Loss):

 

    Master lease payments under various lease arrangements are not reflected in our net income. Master lease payments of $8.2 million and $15.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, are considered when determining cash available for dividends to our stockholders.

 

Through the first quarter 2004, we previously reported the amortization of the fair values of in-place leases related to opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases and tenant relationships as an adjustment to rental income in our consolidated statements of operations. Beginning with the second quarter 2004, we have presented this amortization as amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations, and have reclassified such amortization from rental income to amortization expense for the period previously presented. The period of amortization continues to be the term of the respective lease. This

reclassification results in no change in net loss as previously reported. The primary purpose of this change is to more closely align our presentation of such costs with similar costs as classified by others in the real estate industry.

 

REIT Qualification

 

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and have operated as such beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding our net capital gain to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intend to continue to operate in the foreseeable future so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements, as we made distributions in excess of taxable income for the periods presented. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Inflation

 

We are exposed to inflation risk, as income from long-term leases is the primary source of our cash flows from operations. There are provisions in the majority of our tenant leases that would 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 the leases, the leases may not re-set frequently enough to offset the impact of inflation.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

Investment in Real Estate Assets

 

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful lives. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:

 

Buildings

  40 years    

Building improvements

  5-25 years    

Land improvements

  20-25 years    

Tenant improvements

  Lease term    

Intangible lease assets

  Lease term    

 

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

 

Upon the acquisition of real properties, it is our policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value

 

9


Index to Financial Statements

of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases, and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

 

The fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) are determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building based on our determination of the relative fair value of these assets. We determine the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. We also estimate the cost to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs.

 

The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease values are capitalized as intangible lease assets and liabilities and amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

 

The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in deferred lease costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These lease intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Beginning on April 1, 2004, these lease intangibles were amortized to expense rather than as an adjustment to rental income.

 

Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of our reported net income.

 

Valuation of Real Estate Assets

 

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate and related intangible assets, both operating properties and properties under construction, in which we have an ownership interest, either directly or through investments in joint ventures, may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we assess the recoverability of these assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, we adjust the real estate and related intangible assets to the fair value and recognize an impairment loss.

 

Projections of expected future cash flows require that we estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s fair value and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and our net income. We have determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of real estate assets held as of September 30, 2005.

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

 

General

 

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the various agreements with related parties.

 

Economic Dependency

 

We have engaged the Advisor and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to us, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of some properties owned by us, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of our common stock, as well as other administrative responsibilities for us including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party on 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, we are dependent upon the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS.

 

The Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS are all owned and controlled by Wells Real Estate Funds, Inc. (“WREF”). The operations of the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus on the financial condition of WREF when assessing the financial condition of the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS. In the event that WREF were to become unable to meet its obligations as they become due, we 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 the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of our common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by Wells-sponsored programs. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WREF believes that it generates adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

 

Dismissal of Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo. F. Wells, III, the president and a director of Wells REIT II, the Advisor, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791-2). The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was subsequently dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, the Advisor, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia Civil Action No. 04A-13051-6). On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment and motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. Pursuant to orders entered July 1, 2005, the Court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss and for summary judgment on all counts in the complaint. Thus, this action has now been dismissed, subject to the plaintiffs’ right to file a notice of appeal within the required time period. On August 3, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the Court to vacate and re-enter the orders to give the plaintiffs an opportunity to file a motion for reconsideration or notice of appeal. Both the plaintiffs and defendants have filed briefs supporting their respective positions, and the plaintiffs’ motion is still pending before the Court.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are subject to certain contingencies and commitments with regard to certain transactions. Refer to Notes 5, 6 and 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further explanation. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include:

 

    Litigation against our Advisor and its affiliates (Note 5)

 

    Decision One Building (Note 6)

 

    University Circle Buildings (Note 6)

Index to Financial Statements
    Commitments under existing lease agreements (Note 6)

 

    Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement (Note 6, 7)

 

Events Subsequent to September 30, 2005

 

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2005, we sold additional shares of common stock in our initial public offering and commenced our follow-on offering as more fully explained in this supplement under the heading “Status of Our Public Offerings.”

 

Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement

 

As of October 7, 2005, we have no exposure under the Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement, as Wells Exchange has sold all co-tenancy interests in the Princeton Hill Property to investors.

 

Taxable REIT Subsidiary

 

On October 4, 2005, we created Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware single-member limited liability company. We have elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings owned by us through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services will be subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for us to continue to qualify as a REIT, our investment in Wells TRS cannot exceed 20% of value of our total assets.

 

Property Under Contract

 

On October 28, 2005, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase a 27-story office building containing approximately 581,000 rentable square feet located in Houston, Texas, for a gross purchase price of $166.0 million, plus closing costs. In connection with the execution of the agreement, we paid a deposit of $3.0 million to an escrow agent, which will be applied to the purchase price. The acquisition is expected to be partially funded by the assumption of an existing $90.0 million fixed rate loan secured by the property. In the event that we do not receive approval for our assumption of the existing loan by November 28, 2005, the agreement will automatically terminate and, provided we complied in all material respects with our obligation to procure the loan assumption approval, the $3.0 million earnest money deposit will be refunded to us and we shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under the agreement.

 

MacArthur Ridge I Building Acquisition

 

We closed one acquisition, which we discuss in more detail in this supplement under the heading “Acquisition of MacArthur Ridge I Building.”

WELLS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST II, INC.

 

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. (“Wells REIT II”) is a Maryland corporation that engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, including properties that are under construction, are newly constructed, or have operating histories. Wells REIT II was incorporated on July 3, 2003, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2003, and commenced operations on January 22, 2004. Wells REIT II’s business is primarily conducted through Wells Operating Partnership II, L.P. (“Wells OP II”), a Delaware limited partnership. Wells OP II was formed on July 3, 2003 to acquire, develop, own, lease, and operate real properties on behalf of Wells REIT II, directly, through wholly owned subsidiaries or through joint ventures. Wells REIT II is the sole general partner of Wells OP II and possesses full legal control and authority over the operations of Wells OP II. Wells Capital, Inc. (the “Advisor”) is the sole limited partner of Wells OP II. References to Wells REIT II herein shall include Wells REIT II, all subsidiaries of Wells REIT II, all subsidiaries of Wells OP II, and Wells OP II’s consolidated joint ventures. See Note 5 included herein for a further discussion of the Advisor.

 

As of September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II owned interests in 32 properties, either directly or through joint ventures, comprising approximately 8.2 million square feet of commercial office space located in 14 states and the District of Columbia. As of September 30, 2005, these properties were approximately 97% leased.

 

On December 1, 2003, Wells REIT II commenced its initial public offering of up to 785.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, with 185.0 million of those shares being reserved for issuance through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan. Through September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II had sold approximately 176.6 million shares for gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 billion. Of this amount, Wells REIT II incurred costs of approximately (1) $35.3 million in acquisition fees, (2) $167.8 million in selling commissions and dealer-manager fees, and (3) $29.5 million in organization and offering costs, and redeemed shares of common stock pursuant to Wells REIT II’s share redemption program for approximately $11.5 million. With these net offering proceeds and additional indebtedness, Wells REIT II had invested approximately $1.3 billion in real estate assets through September 30, 2005.

 

Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a public securities exchange. However, Wells REIT II’s charter requires that, in the event that Wells REIT II’s stock is not listed on a national securities exchange by October 2015, Wells REIT II must either seek stockholder approval for an extension or amendment of this listing deadline or stockholder approval to begin liquidating investments and distributing the resulting proceeds to the stockholders. In the event that Wells REIT II seeks stockholder approval for an extension or amendment to this listing date and does not obtain it, Wells REIT II will then be required to seek stockholder approval to liquidate. In this circumstance, if Wells REIT II seeks and does not obtain approval to liquidate, Wells REIT II will not be required to list or liquidate and could continue to operate indefinitely as an unlisted company.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of Wells REIT II 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 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 management, the statements for these unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of a full year’s results. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in Wells REIT II’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

F-6


Index to Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition

 

All leases on real estate assets held by Wells REIT II are classified as operating leases, and the related base rental income is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period that the related operating cost is incurred and are billed to tenants pursuant to the terms of the underlying leases. Rents collected in advance are deferred to future periods.

 

In conjunction with certain acquisitions, we have entered into master lease agreements with various sellers whereby the sellers are obligated to pay rent pertaining to certain non-revenue producing spaces either at the time of, or subsequent to, the property acquisition. These master leases were established at the time of acquisition in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of loss of rent and expense reimbursements. For financial reporting purposes, payments received under master lease agreements are reflected as a reduction of the basis of the underlying property rather than rental income. Wells REIT II received total master lease payments of $8.2 million and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $15.1 million and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, approximately $0.9 million and $0, respectively, of master lease proceeds were held in escrow, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other assets are primarily comprised of prepaid taxes, insurance and operating costs, escrow accounts held by lenders to pay future real estate taxes, insurance and tenant improvements, earnest money paid in connection with future acquisitions and borrowings, other escrow accounts created in connection with the acquisition of real estate assets, and capitalized acquisition fees that have not yet been applied to investments in real estate assets. Prepaid expenses and other assets will be expensed as incurred or reclassified to other asset accounts upon being put into service in future periods. Balances without a future economic benefit are written off as they are identified.

 

Income Taxes

 

Wells REIT II has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with its taxable period ended December 31, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual “REIT taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains attributable to stockholders. As a REIT, Wells REIT II is generally not subject to federal income taxes. Accordingly, neither a provision nor benefit for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. However, Wells REIT II is subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Stockholders’ Equity

 

The par value of investor proceeds raised from Wells REIT II’s offering of common stock is classified as common stock, with the remainder allocated to additional paid-in capital.

 

As of September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II’s share redemption program, as amended, provides that all redemptions during any calendar year, including those upon death or qualifying disability, are limited to those that can be funded with proceeds raised in the current calendar year from Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan. As the use of those proceeds for redemptions is outside the control of Wells REIT II, they are considered to be temporary equity under Accounting Series Release No. 268, Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stock. Therefore, Wells REIT II has included an amount equal to proceeds from shares issued through Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan in the current calendar year, less the amount of redemptions previously funded with such proceeds, as redeemable common stock in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2005.

 

Effective July 1, 2003, Wells REIT II adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS No. 150”), which

 

F-7


Index to Financial Statements

requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the company to repurchase its shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. Wells REIT II’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. As such, SFAS No. 150 is not applicable until such shares are tendered for redemption by the holder, at which time Wells REIT II reclassifies such obligations from mezzanine equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. As of September 30, 2005, all shares tendered for redemption have been settled.

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123-R, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123-R applies to all transactions involving the issuance of equity securities, including, among others, common stock and stock options, in exchange for goods and services. SFAS No. 123-R requires Wells REIT II to recognize expense for all stock options awarded over the respective vesting periods based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123-R will become applicable to Wells REIT II effective January 1, 2006. To date, the fair value of options granted by Wells REIT II is $0. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT II’s financial statements.

 

In July 2005, the FASB issued a Staff Position related to Statement of Position (“SOP”) 78-9-1: Interaction of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants SOP 78-9 and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5 (“FSP”). The EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, concluding that a general partner is presumed to control a limited partnership and should, therefore, consolidate the limited partnership unless the limited partners possess substantive “kick-out” rights or substantive “participating rights.” This FSP eliminates the concept of “important rights” provided in SOP 78-9 and replaces it with the concepts of “kick-out rights” and “substantive participating rights,” as defined in EITF Issue 04-5. For all new partnerships formed and existing partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified, this FSP and EITF Issue 04-5 became effective as of June 30, 2005. For all other partnerships, this guidance will become effective as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on Wells REIT II’s financial statements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II had the following activity with respect to its line of credit and notes payable:

 

On May 9, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a $400.0 million, three-year, unsecured revolving financing facility (the “Wachovia Line of Credit”) with a syndicate of banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. The Wachovia Line of Credit replaces the $430.0 million, 180-day, secured revolving financing facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “BOA Line of Credit”). As of September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II had no amount outstanding under the Wachovia Line of Credit. During September 2005, Wells REIT II pledged approximately $9.2 million of its borrowing capacity under the Wachovia Line of Credit to letters of credit for future tenant improvements and leasing costs. After consideration of the letters of credit, Wells REIT II had a remaining borrowing capacity, as of September 30, 2005, of up to approximately $240.4 million under the Wachovia Line of Credit.

 

On September 6, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a $105.0 million promissory note with Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corporation (the “100 East Pratt Street Building mortgage note”). The 100 East Pratt Street Building mortgage note matures on June 11, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”); however, from September 6, 2005 through July 13, 2015, the lender has the right to cause the entire outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, to become due and payable as of September 11, 2015. The 100 East Pratt Street Building mortgage note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.0775% per annum from September 6, 2005 through September 10, 2015, and the greater of (i) a fixed rate of 7.0775% per annum or (ii) the treasury rate, as defined, plus two percent, from September 11, 2015 through the Maturity Date. In addition to such interest payments, from September 11, 2015 through the Maturity Date, Wells REIT II is required to remit all excess cash flow generated by the 100 East Pratt Street Building to the lender as additional principal payments on the 100 East Pratt Street Building mortgage note. This note is secured by the 100 East Pratt Street Building, which had a net book value of approximately $109.4 million as of September 30, 2005. Wells REIT II may repay this facility in full without incurring any prepayment penalties beginning July 11, 2015.

 

On August 18, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a $23.0 million interest-only promissory note with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (the “Nashoba Buildings mortgage note”), the proceeds from which were used to acquire an interest in a joint venture that owns the Nashoba Buildings (Note 3). The Nashoba Buildings’ mortgage note matures in September 2010 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.07% per annum. This note is secured by the Nashoba Buildings, which had a net book value of approximately $70.8 million as of September 30, 2005. Wells REIT II may prepay this facility at any time, subject to certain prepayment penalties.

 

On September 21, 2005, Wells REIT II assumed a $118.3 million promissory note with the Teachers Insurance & Annuity Association of America (the “University Circle Buildings mortgage note”) in connection with the acquisition of the University Circle Buildings (Note 3).

This note is secured by the University Circle Buildings, which had a net book value of approximately $182.7 million as of September 30, 2005. Wells REIT II may prepay this facility at any time after December 31, 2005, subject to certain prepayment penalties.

 

Cash paid for interest was approximately $11.4 million and $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

5. Related-Party Transactions

 

Advisory Agreement

 

Wells REIT II has entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor, which entitles the Advisor to earn specified fees upon the completion of certain services. The Advisory Agreement has a one-year term; however, either party may terminate the Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. If initiating termination of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II would be obligated to pay all unpaid earned fees and reimbursements of expenses to the Advisor.

 

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor receives the following fees and reimbursements:

 

    Reimbursement of organization and offering costs paid by the Advisor on behalf of Wells REIT II, not to exceed 2.0% of gross offering proceeds;

 

    Acquisition fees of 2.0% of gross offering proceeds, subject to certain limitations; Wells REIT II also reimburses the Advisor for expenses it pays to third parties in connection with acquisitions or potential acquisitions;

 

    Monthly asset management fees equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the cost of (1) all properties of Wells REIT II and (2) investments in joint ventures. The amount of these fees paid in any calendar quarter may not exceed 1.0% of the net asset value of those investments at each quarter-end after deducting debt used to acquire or refinance properties;

 

    Reimbursement for all costs and expenses the Advisor incurs in fulfilling its duties as the asset portfolio manager, including wages and salaries and other employee-related expenses of the Advisor’s employees, which perform a full range of real estate services for Wells REIT II, including management, administration, operations, and marketing, and are billed to Wells REIT II based on the amount of time spent on Wells REIT II by such personnel, provided that such expenses are not reimbursed if incurred in connection with services for which the Advisor receives a disposition fee (described below) or an acquisition fee. Included in this amount are amounts paid for IRA custodial service costs allocated to Wells REIT II accounts;

 

    For any property sold by Wells REIT II, a disposition fee equal to 3.0% of the sales price, with the limitation that the total real estate commissions (including such disposition fee) for any Wells REIT II property sold may not exceed the lesser of (i) 6.0% of the sales price of each property or (ii) the level of real estate commissions customarily charged in light of the size, type, and location of the property;

 

    Incentive fee of 10% of net sales proceeds remaining after stockholders have received distributions equal to the sum of the stockholders’ invested capital plus an 8% return of invested capital; and

 

    Listing fee of 10% of the excess by which the market value of the stock plus dividends paid prior to listing exceeds the sum of 100% of the invested capital plus an 8% return on invested capital.

 

Per the terms of the Advisory Agreement, Wells REIT II is required to reimburse the Advisor for certain organization and offering costs up to the lesser of actual expenses or 2% of gross equity raised. As of September 30, 2005, the Advisor had incurred cumulative organization and offering costs on behalf of Wells REIT II of approximately $29.5 million, which represents approximately 1.8% of cumulative gross equity raised by Wells REIT II. Accordingly, Wells REIT II has incurred and charged to additional paid-in capital organization and offering costs of approximately $29.5 million.

 

On October 20, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a new advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor, which supersedes the existing Advisory Agreement and is effective through October 19, 2006; however, either party may terminate the New Advisory Agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 60 days’ written notice. The terms of the New Advisory Agreement are substantially identical to those of the Advisory

 

F-11


Index to Financial Statements

Agreement except that disposition fees have declined from 3.0% (under the Advisory Agreement) to 1.0% (under the New Advisory Agreement) of the sales price.

 

Dealer-Manager Agreement

 

Wells REIT II has executed a Dealer-Manager Agreement with Wells Investment Securities, Inc. (“WIS”), whereby WIS, an affiliate of the Advisor, performs the dealer-manager function for Wells REIT II. For these services, WIS earns a fee of up to 7% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of the shares of Wells REIT II, of which substantially all is re-allowed to participating broker dealers.

 

Additionally, Wells REIT II is required to pay WIS a dealer-manager fee of up to 2.5% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of Wells REIT II’s stock at the time the shares are sold. Under the dealer-manager agreement, up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds may be reallowed by WIS to participating broker dealers, and some of the fees may be reduced for certain classes of purchasers or for purchasers under the dividend reinvestment plan.

 

Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement

 

On November 24, 2004, Wells REIT II entered into a Master Property Management, Leasing, and Construction Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Management Company, Inc. (“Wells Management”), an affiliate of the Advisor. In consideration for supervising the management, leasing, and construction of certain Wells REIT II properties, Wells REIT II will pay the following fees to Wells Management in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement:

 

    Property management fees in an amount equal to a percentage negotiated for each property managed by Wells Management of the gross monthly income collected for that property for the preceding month;

 

    Leasing commissions for new, renewal, or expansion leases entered into with respect to any property for which Wells Management serves as leasing agent equal to a percentage as negotiated for that property of the total base rental and operating expenses to be paid to Wells REIT II during the applicable term of the lease, provided, however, that no commission shall be payable as to any portion of such term beyond ten years;

 

    Initial lease-up fees for newly constructed properties under the agreement, generally equal to one month’s rent;

 

    Fees equal to a specified percentage of up to 5% of all construction build-out funded by Wells REIT II, given as a leasing concession, and overseen by Wells Management; and

 

    Other fees as negotiated with the addition of each specific property covered under the agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the agreements described above, Wells REIT II incurred the following related-party expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Economic Dependency

 

Wells REIT II has engaged the Advisor and its affiliates, Wells Management and WIS, to provide certain services that are essential to Wells REIT II, including asset management services, supervision of the management and leasing of some properties owned by Wells REIT II, asset acquisition and disposition services, the sale of shares of Wells REIT II common stock, as well as other administrative responsibilities for Wells REIT II including accounting services, stockholder communications, and investor relations. These agreements are terminable by either party upon 60 days’ written notice. As a result of these relationships, Wells REIT II is dependent upon the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS.

 

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

Index to Financial Statements

Future net income generated by WREF will be largely dependent upon the amount of fees earned by the Advisor, Wells Management, and WIS based on, among other things, the level of investor proceeds raised from the sale of Wells REIT II’s common stock and the volume of future acquisitions and dispositions of real estate assets by Wells-sponsored programs. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, WREF believes that it generates adequate cash flow from operations and has adequate liquidity available in the form of cash on hand and current receivables necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due.

 

Dismissal of Litigation Against Related Parties

 

During early 2004, a putative class action complaint was filed against, among others, Leo. F. Wells, III, the president and a director of Wells REIT II, the Advisor, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Civil Action No. 04-A-2791-2). The Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to permit voluntary dismissal of this suit, and it was subsequently dismissed without prejudice. In November 2004, the same plaintiffs filed a second putative class action complaint against, among others, Mr. Wells, the Advisor, and Wells Management (Hendry et al. v. Leo F. Wells, III et al., Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia Civil Action No. 04A-13051-6). On January 28, 2005, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment and motions to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims. Pursuant to orders entered July 1, 2005, the Court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss and for summary judgment on all counts in the complaint. Thus, this action has now been dismissed, subject to the plaintiffs’ right to file a notice of appeal within the required time period. On August 3, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the Court to vacate and re-enter the orders to give the plaintiffs an opportunity to file a motion for reconsideration or notice of appeal. Both the plaintiffs and defendants have filed briefs supporting their respective positions, and the plaintiffs’ motion is still pending before the Court.

 

6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement

 

Wells Management, an affiliate of the Advisor, has developed a program that involves the acquisition of income-producing commercial properties through a series of single-member limited liability companies for the purpose of facilitating the resale of co-tenancy interests in such real estate properties (the “Wells Section 1031 Program”) to persons seeking to reinvest the proceeds from a sale of real estate held for investment in another real estate investment for purposes of qualifying for like-kind exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Participants”). Acquisitions of properties for the Wells Section 1031 Program are generally financed with a combination of permanent first mortgage financing and interim financing obtained from institutional lenders. Following the acquisition of a property, Wells Exchange attempts to sell co-tenancy interests in such property to 1031 Participants, the proceeds from which are typically used to immediately repay the investors’ pro rata shares of interim financing.

 

On September 7, 2005, Wells Exchange acquired a three-story office building located in Springdale, Ohio (the “Princeton Hill Property”) for the purpose of selling co-tenancy interests therein for a total of approximately $13.3 million. Commensurate with closing this acquisition, Wells Exchange and Wells REIT II entered an agreement (the “Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement”), which provides that, in the event that co-tenancy interests remain unsold as of June 7, 2006, Wells REIT II would acquire such unsold co-tenancy interests at a price equal to the greater of (a) the amount required to repay the principal and interest outstanding on the interim financing or (b) Wells Exchange’s cost in the unsold co-tenancy interests. In consideration for the exposure created under the Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement, Wells REIT II earned a fee of approximately $166,000 in September 2005, which is reported within interest and other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

As of September 30, 2005, Wells REIT II’s maximum exposure under the Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement related to acquiring unsold co-tenancy interests in the Princeton Hill Property was approximately $5.0 million. As of October 7, 2005, Wells REIT II had no exposure under the Princeton Hill Take-Out Agreement, as Wells Exchange had sold all co-tenancy interests in the Princeton Hill Property to investors.

Decision One Building

 

On June 24, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into an agreement to purchase a five-story office building currently under construction that will contain approximately 180,000 rentable square feet in Lancaster, South Carolina (the “Decision One Building”) for a gross purchase price of approximately $33.7 million, plus closing costs and an allowance for tenant improvements and leasing commissions not to exceed $1.8 million. In connection with the execution of this agreement, Wells REIT II paid a nonrefundable deposit of $3.4 million to an escrow agent in June 2005, which will be applied to the purchase price. Completion of the construction of the Decision One Building is anticipated to occur in June 2006, at which point the purchase price will become due and payable to the seller. Decision One Mortgage Company will lease 100% of the Decision One Building at rental rates to be determined based upon total actual construction costs.

 

University Circle Buildings

 

In connection with the acquisition of the University Circle Buildings on September 21, 2005 (Note 3), Wells REIT II will owe additional purchase consideration ranging from $7.7 million to $12.9 million. The exact amount will be calculated pursuant to an earnout agreement between Wells REIT II and the seller and will be based on the amount of qualified leases, as defined, to be procured by the seller for currently vacant space on or before May 1, 2006. In connection with this earnout agreement, at closing, Wells REIT II assigned $7.7 million of available borrowings under the Wachovia Line of Credit to a letter of credit. At September 30, 2005, $7.7 million was reported within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued capital expenditures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Commitments Under Existing Lease Agreements

 

Certain lease agreements include provisions that, at the option of the tenant, may obligate Wells REIT II to expend capital to expand an existing property or provide other expenditures for the benefit of the tenant. The current lease with the majority tenant of the 100 East Pratt Street Building, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., entitles T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. to obligate Wells REIT II to fund tenant improvements or grant leasing commissions of up to $19.2 million, of which approximately $1.9 million may be used to offset future rental billings at the tenant’s discretion. As of September 30, 2005, no tenants have exercised such options that had not been materially satisfied.

 

Litigation

 

Wells REIT II is from time to time a party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Wells REIT II is not currently involved in any litigation the outcome of which would have, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Wells REIT II, nor is management aware of any such litigation threatened against Wells REIT II.

 

7. Subsequent Events

 

Sale of Shares of Common Stock

 

From October 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005, Wells REIT II raised approximately $75.5 million through the issuance of approximately 7.6 million shares of common stock of Wells REIT II under its initial public offering. As of October 31, 2005, approximately 415.8 million shares remained available for sale to the public under Wells REIT II’s initial public offering, exclusive of shares available under Wells REIT II’s dividend reinvestment plan; however, this offering is scheduled to terminate with the acceptance of subscription agreements dated by November 26, 2005.

 

Wells REIT II has filed a registration statement with the SEC to register 300,600,000 shares of its common stock, of which up to 300,000,000 shares will be offered in the primary offering for $10 per share, with volume discounts available to investors who purchase more than 50,000 shares at any one time. Discounts may also be available for other categories of purchasers. The remaining 600,000 shares of common stock are offered under Wells REIT II’s amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to the higher of $9.55 per share or 95% of the estimated value of a share of its common stock. The aforementioned registration statement was declared

effective by the SEC on November 10, 2005. As of November 14, 2005, Wells REIT II had not issued any shares under this registration statement

 

Taxable REIT Subsidiary

 

On October 4, 2005, Wells REIT II created Wells TRS II, LLC (“Wells TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary organized as a Delaware single-member limited liability company. Wells REIT II has elected to treat Wells TRS as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Wells REIT II may perform additional, non-customary services for tenants of buildings owned by Wells REIT II through Wells TRS, including any real estate or non-real estate related services; however, any earnings related to such services will be subject to federal and state income taxes. In addition, in order for Wells REIT II to continue to qualify as a REIT, Wells REIT II’s investment in Wells TRS cannot exceed 20% of value of the total assets of Wells REIT II.

 

Properties Under Contract

 

On October 28, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase a 27-story office building containing approximately 581,000 rentable square feet located in Houston, Texas, for a gross purchase price of $166.0 million, plus closing costs. In connection with the execution of the agreement, Wells REIT II paid a deposit of $3.0 million to an escrow agent, which will be applied to the purchase price. The acquisition is expected to be partially funded by the assumption of an existing $90.0 million fixed rate loan secured by the property. In the event that Wells REIT II does not receive approval for its assumption of the existing loan by November 28, 2005, the agreement will automatically terminate and, provided Wells REIT II complied in all material respects with its obligation to procure the loan assumption approval, the $3.0 million earnest money deposit will be refunded to Wells REIT II and Wells REIT II shall be relieved of all further liability and responsibility under the agreement.

 

On November 10, 2005, Wells REIT II entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase a six-story office building containing approximately 250,000 rentable square feet located in Irving, Texas, for a gross purchase price of $45.2 million, exclusive of closing costs. In connection with the execution of the agreement, Wells REIT II paid a deposit of $0.8 million to an escrow agent, which will be applied to the purchase price at closing.
