Disposition of Equity Interest in Fund XII-REIT Associates

On August 12, 2013, the Registrant disposed of its equity interest in Wells Fund XII-REIT Joint Venture Partnership ("Fund XII-REIT Associates") to Piedmont JV Partnership Interests, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Piedmont Operating Partnership, L.P., the joint venture partner, for a gross sales price of $12,993,600, excluding closing costs. Fund XII-REIT Associates was a joint venture partnership between the Registrant and Piedmont Operating Partnership, LP. The Registrant held an equity interest of approximately 45.0% in Fund XII-REIT Associates.

The Registrant recognized a gain on sale of its equity interest in Fund XII-REIT Associates of approximately $420,800, which may be adjusted should additional information become available in subsequent periods. In the second quarter of 2013, Fund XII-REIT Associates recorded an impairment loss on the Comdata Building, of approximately $605,000 to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value, of which approximately $272,000 was allocated to the Registrant, and therefore, reduced the Registrant's basis in Fund XII-REIT Associates.
