CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q of Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. (the "Partnership," "we," "our," "us," 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, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). 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 ("SEC"). 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, 2012 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.

CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (unaudited)


1.	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

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

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

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



Joint Venture	Joint Venture Partners	Ownership %	Properties
Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates ("Fund VIII-IX Associates" or the "Joint Venture")	• Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. • Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P.	54.8% 45.2%	1. US Cellular Building⁽¹⁾ A four-story office building located in Madison, Wisconsin 2. 305 Interlocken Parkway A two-story office building located in Broomfield, Colorado

⁽¹⁾ This property was sold on March 22, 2013.

Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. is affiliated with the Partnership through common general partners. Each of the properties described above was acquired on an all-cash basis. For further information regarding the Joint Venture and foregoing properties, refer to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.


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 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, 2012.

Table of Contents

Investment in Joint Venture

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

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

The Partnership continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets owned through the Partnership's investment in Fund VIII-IX Associates may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present which suggest that the carrying amounts of real estate assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the real estate assets by determining whether the respective carrying values will be recovered through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition for assets held for use, or with the estimated fair values, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale. In the event that the expected undiscounted future cash flows for assets held for use, or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, for assets held for sale do not exceed the respective asset carrying value, management adjusts the real estate assets to their respective estimated fair values, pursuant to the provisions of the property, plant, and equipment accounting standard for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, and recognizes an impairment loss. Estimated fair values are determined based on the following information, dependent upon availability: (i) recently quoted market price(s) for the subject property, or highly comparable properties, under sufficiently active and normal market conditions, or (ii) the present value of future cash flows, including estimated residual value. The Partnership has determined that there have been no impairments in the carrying value of any of its real estate assets to date; however, certain of the Partnership's assets may be carried at an amount more than could be realized in a current disposition transaction.

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

Projections of expected future cash flows require that the Partnership estimate future market rental income, property operating expenses, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, and the number of years the property is held for investment, among other factors. The subjectivity of assumptions used in the future cash flow analysis, including discount rates, could result in an incorrect assessment of the property's future cash flows and fair value, and could result in the misstatement of the carrying value of real estate assets held by Fund VIII-IX Associates and net income (loss) of the Partnership.

Distribution of Net Cash from Operations

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


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


•	Second, to the General Partners until the General Partners have received distributions equal to 10% of the total cumulative distributions paid by the Partnership; and

Page 10

Table of Contents


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

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

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

Upon sales of properties, unless reserved, net sale proceeds 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 the limited partners have received 100% of their respective net capital contributions, as defined;


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

•

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

•

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


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

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

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

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In April 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements Topic Liquidation Basis of Accounting ("ASU 2013-07"). ASU 2013-07 requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that the organization will return from liquidation and either: (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties; or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces. ASU 2013-07 will be effective for the

Page 11

Partnership beginning on January 1, 2014. The Partnership expects that the adoption of ASU 2013-07 will not have a material impact on its financial statements or disclosures.

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 $14,333 and $28,041 payable to Wells Capital and Wells Management for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $48,117 and $74,581 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, Wells Capital and Wells Management pay for certain operating expenses of the Partnership ("bill-backs") directly and invoice the Partnership for the reimbursement thereof on a quarterly basis. As presented in the accompanying balance sheets, due to affiliates as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represents administrative reimbursements and bill-backs due to Wells Capital and/or Wells Management.

Operational 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's operations are dependent upon Wells Capital and Wells Management.

Wells Capital and Wells Management are owned and controlled by WREF. The operations of Wells Capital, Wells Investment Securities, Inc., Wells Management, Wells Core Office Income REIT Advisory Services, LLC, and their affiliates represent substantially all of the business of WREF. Accordingly, we focus 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, 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 Wells Capital and Wells Management based on, among other things, the management of assets for WREF-sponsored programs and the volume of future dispositions of real estate assets by WREF-sponsored programs, as well as distribution income earned from its holdings of common stock of Piedmont REIT, which was acquired in connection with the Piedmont REIT internalization transaction. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership has no reason to believe that WREF does not have access to adequate liquidity and capital resources, including cash flow generated from operations, cash on hand, other investments, and borrowing capacity, necessary to meet its current and future obligations as they become due. Modifying service agreements between WREF, or its affiliates, and the Partnership, or other WREF-sponsored programs, could impact WREF's future net income and future access to liquidity and capital resources. For example, a large portion of WREF's income is derived under agreements with Columbia Property Trust, Inc. ("Columbia"), formerly known as Wells Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc. Effective February 28, 2013, Columbia transitioned to self-management and indicated that it does not expect to rely on WREF for the same level of services beyond December 31, 2013. In addition, a smaller portion of WREF’s income is derived under agreements with CatchMark Timber Trust, Inc. (“CatchMark”), formerly known as Wells Timberland REIT, Inc. Effective October 25, 2013, CatchMark also transitioned to self-management and indicated that it does not expect to rely on WREF for the same level of services beyond June 30, 2014. As such, WREF does not expect to receive significant compensation from Columbia or CatchMark beyond December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively.


5.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Partnership and its General Partners are parties to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of the Partnership's 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.


6.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Distribution of Net Sale Proceeds

On November 1, 2013, net sale proceeds of approximately $2,750,000 from the sales of 14079 Senlac Drive and the US Cellular Building were distributed to the limited partners of record as of September 30, 2013, which, under the terms of the partnership agreement, does not include limited partners acquiring units after June 30, 2013. Accordingly, the General Partners have determined to hold residual net sale proceeds in reserve to fund the Partnership's pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs at the Partnership's remaining property.

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 our financial statements, the notes thereto, and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, all provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Overview

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


•	Fundraising phase

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


•	Investing phase

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


•	Holding phase

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


•	Positioning-for-sale phase

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


•	Disposition-and-liquidation phase

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

Portfolio Overview

We are currently in the positioning-for-sale phase of our life cycle. We have sold seven of the eight properties in which we have held interests. On September 25, 2013, Fund VIII-IX Associates entered into an agreement to sell our remaining asset, 305 Interlocken Parkway, to an unaffiliated third party, for a gross sales price of $6,100,000, exclusive of closing costs (the "Agreement"). The Agreement is subject to a 60-day due diligence period and a financing contingency which must be satisfied by November 30, 2013. The earnest money deposit of $150,000 will become non-refundable upon the expiration of the due diligence period and satisfaction of the aforementioned financing contingency. The Partnership expects the closing of this transaction to occur during the fourth quarter of 2013; however, there are no assurances regarding when or if this sale will be completed.

The third quarter 2013 operating distributions to limited partners were reserved. Our General Partners anticipate that operating distributions to limited partners will continue to be reserved in the near-term due to the current vacancy at our remaining property, 305 Interlocken Parkway, and our intention to fund our pro rata share of property operating costs and anticipated re-leasing costs should the transaction disclosed above not be completed as anticipated. On November 1, 2013, our General Partners distributed approximately $2,750,000 from the sales of 14079 Senlac Drive and the US Cellular Building.

Property Summary

As of October 31, 2013, we owned an interest in one property. As noted above under Portfolio Overview, we anticipate selling our remaining property in the fourth quarter of 2013, but as there are no assurances regarding when or if this sale will be completed, we will continue our leasing and marketing efforts.

Information relating to the properties owned, or previously owned, by the joint ventures is provided below:


•	Hannover Center was sold on April 29, 2004.


•	The 15253 Bake Parkway property was sold on December 2, 2004.

•

An outparcel of land at Tanglewood Commons was sold on October 7, 2002. The Tanglewood Commons shopping center and one outparcel of land was sold on April 21, 2005. On October 12, 2005, a portion of one of the remaining outparcels of land was condemned. On January 31, 2007, the two remaining outparcels of land were sold to Wells Management, an affiliate of the General Partners, after seeking the approval of the limited partners.


•	The CH2M Hill Building was sold on December 7, 2005.


•	The BellSouth Building was sold on May 15, 2006.


•	The 14079 Senlac Drive property was sold on November 29, 2007.


•	The US Cellular Building, located in Madison, Wisconsin was sold on March 22, 2013.


•	The 305 Interlocken Parkway property, located in the Broomfield submarket of Denver, Colorado, is currently vacant. On September 25, 2013, Fund VIII-IX Associates entered into an agreement to sell the 305 Interlocken Parkway property; however, there are no assurances regarding when or if this sale will be completed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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.

Our operating strategy entails funding expenditures related to the recurring operations of Fund VIII-IX Associates' remaining property and the portfolio with operating cash flows, including current and prior period operating distributions received from Fund VIII-IX Associates, 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 our remaining market could adversely impact our ability to re-lease the current space at 305 Interlocken Parkway on favorable terms, which could have an adverse effect on our operating cash flows and our ability to provide funding for capital needs.

Short-Term Liquidity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash outflows from operating activities were approximately $100,000 primarily due to (i) Fund VIII-IX Associates retaining its operating cash flow to fund re-leasing costs at the US Cellular Building, prior to its disposition, and property costs at 305 Interlocken Parkway as a result of the current vacancy, and (ii) funding our general and administrative expenses. The extent to which future operating distributions are paid to limited partners will be largely dependent upon the amount of cash generated by Fund VIII-IX Associates, our expectations of future cash flows, and determination of near-term cash needs to fund our share of property operating costs, tenant re-leasing costs and other capital improvements for our remaining property. We anticipate that operating distributions from Fund VIII-IX Associates will decline in the near-term as a result of (i) the current vacancy at the 305 Interlocken Parkway property and (ii) our intention to fund our pro rata share of anticipated re-leasing costs at the 305 Interlocken Parkway property should the anticipated disposition transaction not be completed as anticipated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received net sale proceeds from the sale of the US Cellular Building of approximately $4,319,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we invested approximately $362,000 in Fund VIII-IX Associates to (i) fund our pro rata share of tenant improvements at the US Cellular Building related to recent leasing activity, prior to its disposition and (ii) fund our pro rata share of operating expenses at the 305 Interlocken Parkway property as a result of the current vacancy.

We believe that the cash on hand will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs, including those provided for within our total liabilities of approximately $8,000, as of September 30, 2013.

Long-Term Liquidity

We expect that our future sources of capital will be primarily derived from operating cash flows generated from the remaining property owned by Fund VIII-IX Associates once it is leased, and net proceeds generated from the sale of our remaining property. 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 the remaining property owned through Fund

Page 15

Table of Contents

VIII-IX Associates. We expect to continue to use substantially all future net cash from operations, including future distributions received from Fund VIII-IX Associates, to fund (i) leasing costs and capital expenditures necessary to position our remaining property for sale should the anticipated disposition transaction not be completed as anticipated and (ii) our general and administrative expenses. To the extent that residual operating cash flows remain after considering these funding requirements, we would then distribute such residual operating cash flow to the limited partners.

Capital Resources

We fund capital expenditures primarily related to building improvements for the purpose of maintaining the quality of our remaining property, and tenant improvements for the purpose of readying our remaining property for re-leasing. We will work with the Joint Venture to attempt to 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.

Operating cash flows, if available, are generally distributed from the Joint Venture to us approximately one month following calendar quarter-ends. However, the Joint Venture will reserve operating distributions, or a portion thereof, as needed in order to fund known capital and other expenditures. Our cash management policy typically includes first utilizing current period operating cash flows 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, if available, would then be utilized. Any capital or other expenditures not funded from the operations of the Joint Venture will be required to be funded by us and the other respective joint venture partners on a pro rata basis.

As of September 30, 2013, we have received, used, distributed, and held net sale proceeds allocated to us from the sale of properties as presented below:

⁽¹⁾	The Partnership continues to own this property. The net sale proceeds represents payment received for unamortized tenant improvements in connection with the Cirrus Logic, Inc. lease termination.

Our General Partners distributed net sale proceeds of approximately $2,750,000 in November 2013 from the sales of 14079 Senlac Drive and the US Cellular Building. Our General Partners have decided to reserve the remainder of the net sale proceeds at this time due to the current vacancy at our remaining property, 305 Interlocken Parkway, and our intention to fund our pro rata share of property operating costs and anticipated re-leasing costs should the anticipated disposition transaction not be completed as anticipated.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus the three months ended September 30, 2013

Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Venture

Equity in income (loss) of Joint Venture decreased from income of $3,963 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to a loss of $(70,990) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the sale of the US Cellular Building in March 2013. Absent disposition or leasing activity at our remaining property, we expect equity in loss of Fund VIII-IX Associates for future periods to remain at a similar level as compared to the third quarter of 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased from $44,813 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to $32,394 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in administrative reimbursements and administrative costs related to reporting and regulatory requirements. We anticipate that future general and administrative expenses will vary primarily based on future changes in our reporting and regulatory requirements.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2013

Equity in Income of Joint Venture

Equity in income of Joint Venture increased from $192,642 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $936,245 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the gain recognized on the sale of the US Cellular Building in March 2013, of which approximately $1,110,000 was allocated to the Partnership, partially offset by a decrease in rental and reimbursement income at the 305 Interlocken Parkway property as a result of the current vacancy. Absent disposition or leasing activity at our remaining property, we expect equity in income of Fund VIII-IX Associates for future periods to decline as a result of the disposition of the US Cellular Building in the first quarter of 2013.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased from $147,789 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $132,262 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in administrative reimbursements and administrative costs related to reporting and regulatory requirements. We anticipate that future general and administrative expenses will vary primarily based on future changes in our reporting and regulatory requirements.

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 us and the Joint Venture, which are considered critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Page 17

Table of Contents

Investment in Real Estate Assets

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



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

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

Evaluating the Recoverability of Real Estate Assets

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

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

Related-Party Transactions

We have entered into agreements with Wells Capital and Wells Management, affiliates of our General Partners, or their affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees and expense reimbursements to Wells Capital, Wells Management, or their affiliates for asset management; the management and leasing of our properties; and administrative services relating to accounting, property management, and other partnership administration, and we incur the related expenses. See Note 4 to our financial statements included in this report for a description of these fees and expense reimbursements we have incurred.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to certain commitments and contingencies with regard to certain transactions. See Note 4 and Note 5 to our financial statements included in this report for further explanations. Examples of such commitments and contingencies include our property management and leasing agreements and anticipated distributions of net sale proceeds.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure 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 Exchange Act as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of Wells Capital, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
