NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Business
W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (W. P. Carey and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and
predecessors, we, us or our) provides long-term financing via sale-leaseback and
build-to-suit transactions for companies worldwide and manages a global investment portfolio. We
invest primarily in commercial properties domestically and internationally that are each triple-net
leased to single corporate tenants, which requires each tenant to pay substantially all of the
costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. We also earn revenue as the advisor
to publicly owned, non-listed real estate investment trusts, which are sponsored by us under the
Corporate Property Associates brand name (the CPA® REITs) that invest in similar
properties. At March 31, 2011, we were the advisor to the following CPA® REITs:
Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (CPA®:14), Corporate Property Associates
15 Incorporated (CPA®:15), Corporate Property Associates 16 Global Incorporated
(CPA®:16 Global) and Corporate Property Associates 17 Global Incorporated
(CPA®:17 Global). On May 2, 2011, CPA®:14 merged into CPA®:16
Global (see Note 15). We are also the advisor to Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (CWI
and, together with the CPA® REITs, the REITs), which we formed in March 2008 for the
purpose of acquiring interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. At March 31, 2011, we
owned and managed 970 properties domestically and internationally. Our owned portfolio was
comprised of our full or partial ownership interest in 162 properties, substantially all of which
were net leased to 75 tenants, and totaled approximately 14 million square feet (on a pro rata
basis) with an occupancy rate of approximately 90%.
Primary Business Segments
Investment Management We structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for
the REITs, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate
investments, for which we earn asset-based management and performance revenue. We earn asset-based
management and performance revenue from the REITs based on the value of their real estate-related
and lodging-related assets under management. As funds available to the REITs are invested, the
asset base from which we earn revenue increases. In addition, we also receive a percentage of
distributions of available cash from CPA®:17 Global and CWIs operating partnerships.
We may also earn incentive and disposition revenue and receive other compensation in connection
with providing liquidity alternatives to the REIT shareholders.
Real Estate Ownership We own and invest in commercial properties in the United States of America
(U.S.) and the European Union that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net leased
basis. We may also invest in other properties if opportunities arise.
Effective January 1, 2011, we include our equity investments in the REITs in our real estate
ownership segment. The equity income or loss from the REITs that is now included in our real estate
ownership segment represents our proportionate share of the revenue less expenses of the net-leased
properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with that of our directly-owned
properties.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
(GAAP).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented
in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in our 2010 Annual
Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited
consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts
in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 6
Table of Contents
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our
majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not
attributable, directly or indirectly, to us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We hold investments in
tenant-in-common interests, which we account for as equity investments in real estate under current
authoritative accounting guidance. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared
decision-making involved in a tenant-in-common interest investment creates an opportunity for us to
have significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of these investments and
thereby creates some responsibility for us to achieve a return on our investment. Additionally, we
own interests in single-tenant net leased properties leased to corporations through noncontrolling
interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we
exercise significant influence. We account for these investments under the equity method of
accounting. At times the carrying value of our equity investments may fall to below zero for
certain investments. We are obligated to fund future operating losses for these investments.
In April 2010, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to sell up to $1 billion of common
stock of CWI in an initial public offering plus up to an additional $237.5 million of its common
stock under a dividend reinvestment plan. This registration statement was declared effective by the
SEC in September 2010. Through December 31, 2010, the financial statements of CWI, which had no
significant assets, liabilities or operations, were included in our consolidated financial
statements, as we owned all of CWIs outstanding common stock. Beginning in 2011, we have accounted
for our interest in CWI under the equity method of accounting because, as the advisor, we do not
exert control but we have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties
Advisory Agreements with the REITs
We have advisory agreements with each of the REITs pursuant to which we earn certain fees. The
CPA® REIT advisory agreements were renewed for an additional year pursuant to their
terms effective October 1, 2010. Effective September 15, 2010, we entered into an advisory
agreement with CWI to perform certain services, including managing CWIs offering and its overall
businesses, identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of lodging-related
properties and performance of certain administrative duties. The following table presents a
summary of revenue earned and cash received from the REITs in connection with providing services as
the advisor to the REITs (in thousands):

(CPA®:17 Global only) |
1,815 | 506 | ||||||
$ | 58,579 | $ | 43,304 | |||||
Asset Management Revenue
We earn asset management revenue totaling 1% per annum of average invested assets, which is
calculated according to the advisory agreements for each CPA® REIT. A portion of this
asset management revenue is contingent upon the achievement of specific performance criteria for
each CPA® REIT, which is generally defined to be a cumulative distribution return for
shareholders of the CPA® REIT. For CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and
CPA®:16 Global, this performance revenue is generally equal to 0.5% of the average
invested assets of the CPA® REIT. For CPA®:17 Global, we earn asset
management revenue ranging from 0.5% of average market value for long-term net leases and certain
other types of real estate investments up to 1.75% of average equity value for certain types of
securities. For CWI, we earn asset management revenue of 0.5% of the average market value of
lodging-related investments. For CPA®:17 Global and CWI, we do not earn performance
revenue, but we receive up to 10% of distributions of available cash from their operating
partnerships. Through March 31, 2011, we had not earned any asset management revenue from CWI or
received any cash distributions of available cash from CWIs operating partnership because CWI had
not made any investments or had significant operating activity. Distributions of available cash
from CPA®:17 Globals operating partnership are recorded as income from equity
investments in the REITs within the investment management segment.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 7
Table of Contents
Under the terms of the advisory agreements, we may elect to receive cash or shares of restricted
stock for any revenue due from each REIT. In both 2011 and 2010, we elected to receive all asset
management revenue in cash, with the exception of CPA®:17 Globals asset management
revenue, which we elected to receive in restricted shares. For both 2011 and 2010, we also elected
to receive performance revenue from CPA®:16 Global in restricted shares, while for
CPA®:14 and CPA®:15 we elected to receive 80% of all performance revenue in
restricted shares, with the remaining 20% payable in cash. For CWI, we elected to receive all asset
management revenue in cash in 2011.
Structuring Revenue
We earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage
financing for the REITs. We may receive acquisition revenue of up to an average of 4.5% of the
total cost of all investments made by each CPA® REIT. A portion of this revenue
(generally 2.5%) is paid when the transaction is completed, while the remainder (generally 2%) is
payable in equal annual installments ranging from three to eight years, provided the relevant
CPA® REIT meets its performance criterion. For CWI, we earn initial acquisition revenue
of 2.5% of the total investment cost of the properties acquired and loans originated by us not to
exceed 6% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments and loans, with no deferred
acquisition revenue being earned. Through March 31, 2011, we had not earned any structuring revenue
from CWI because it had not acquired any investments. Unpaid installments bear interest at annual
rates ranging from 5% to 7%. For certain types of non-long term net lease investments acquired on
behalf of CPA®:17 Global, initial acquisition revenue may range from 0% to 1.75% of
the equity invested plus the related acquisition revenue, with no deferred acquisition revenue
being earned. We may also be entitled, subject to the REIT board approval, to fees for structuring
loan refinancings of up to 1% of the principal amount. This loan refinancing revenue, together with
the acquisition revenue, is referred to as structuring revenue. In addition, we may also earn
revenue related to the sale of properties by the CPA® REITS and the sale, exchange or
other disposition of CWIs operating partnership assets, subject in each case to subordination
provisions. We will only recognize this revenue if we meet the subordination provisions.

Reimbursed Costs from Affiliates and Wholesaling Revenue
The REITs reimburse us for certain costs, primarily broker-dealer commissions paid on behalf of the
REITs and marketing and personnel costs. Under the terms of a sales agency agreement between our
wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary and CPA®:17 Global, we earn a selling
commission of up to $0.65 per share sold, selected dealer revenue of up to $0.20 per share sold
and/or wholesaling revenue for selected dealers or investment advisors of up to $0.15 per share
sold. We re-allow all or a portion of the selling commissions to selected dealers participating in
CPA®:17 Globals offering and may re-allow up to the full selected dealer revenue to
selected dealers. If needed, we will use any retained portion of the selected dealer revenue
together with the wholesaling revenue to cover other underwriting costs incurred in connection with
CPA®:17 Globals offering. In addition, effective September 15, 2010, our
wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary entered into a dealer manager agreement with CWI, whereby we
will receive a selling commission of up to $0.70 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of up to
$0.30 per share sold, a portion of which may be re-allowed to the selected broker dealers. Total
underwriting compensation earned in connection with CPA®:17 Global and CWIs
offerings, including selling commissions, selected dealer revenue, wholesaling revenue and
reimbursements made by us to selected dealers, cannot exceed the limitations prescribed by the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The limit on underwriting compensation is currently
10% of gross offering proceeds. We may also be reimbursed for reasonable bona fide due diligence
expenses incurred which are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. Such reimbursements are
subject to the limitations on organization and offering expenses described above.
Pursuant to the advisory agreement, upon reaching the minimum offering amount of $10.0 million on
March 3, 2011, CWI became obligated to reimburse us for all organization and a portion of offering
costs incurred in connection with its offering, up to a maximum amount (excluding selling
commissions and the dealer manager fee) of 2% of the gross proceeds of its offering and
distribution reinvestment plan. Through March 31, 2011, we have incurred organization and offering
costs on behalf of CWI of approximately $3.8 million. However, at March 31, 2011, CWI was only
obligated to reimburse us $0.3 million of these costs because of the 2% limitation described above,
and no such costs had been reimbursed as of that date.

We are the general partner in a limited partnership (which we consolidate for financial statement
purposes) that leases our home office space and participates in an agreement with certain
affiliates, including the REITs, for the purpose of leasing office space used for the
administration of our operations and the operations of our affiliates and for sharing the
associated costs. This limited partnership does not have any significant assets, liabilities or
operations other than its interest in the office lease. The average estimated minimum lease
payments on the office lease, inclusive of noncontrolling interests, at March 31, 2011 approximates
$3.0 million annually through 2016. The table below presents income from noncontrolling interest

In connection with our acquisition of properties, we have recorded net lease intangibles of $40.6
million, which are being amortized over periods ranging from one year to 40 years. In-place lease,
tenant relationship and above-market rent intangibles are included in Intangible assets and
goodwill, net in the consolidated financial statements. Below-market rent intangibles are included
in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial
statements. Net amortization of intangibles was $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization of below-market and above-market rent
intangibles is recorded as an adjustment to Lease revenues, while amortization of in-place lease
and tenant relationship intangibles is included in Depreciation and amortization.
Note 5. Finance Receivables
Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are
referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivable portfolios consist of direct financing
leases and deferred acquisition fees. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as
such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred Acquisition Fees Receivable
As described in Note 3, we earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments
and related mortgage financing for the REITs. A portion of this revenue is due in equal annual
installments ranging from three to eight years, provided the relevant REIT meets its performance
criterion. Unpaid deferred installments, including accrued interest, from all of the CPA®
REITs totaled $27.6 million and $31.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively, and were included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated financial statements.
Unpaid installments bear interest at annual rates ranging from 5% to 7%.
Credit Quality of Finance Receivables
We generally seek investments in facilities that are critical to the tenants business and that we
believe have a low risk of tenant defaults. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, none of the
balances of our finance receivables were past due and we had not established any allowances for
credit losses. Additionally, there have been no modifications of finance receivables. We evaluate
the credit quality of our tenant receivables utilizing an internal 5-point credit rating scale,
with 1 representing the highest credit quality
and 5 representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our tenant receivables was last
updated in the first quarter of 2011. We believe the credit quality of our deferred acquisition
fees receivable falls under category 1, as all of the CPA® REITs are expected to have
the available cash to make such payments.

Note 6. Equity Investments in Real Estate and the REITs
Our equity investments in real estate for our investments in the REITs and for our interests in
unconsolidated real estate investments are summarized below.
REITs
We own interests in the REITs and account for these interests under the equity method because, as
their advisor, we do not exert control but have the ability to exercise significant influence.
Shares of the REITs are publicly registered and the REITs file periodic reports with the SEC, but
the shares are not listed on any exchange and are not actively traded. We earn asset management and
performance revenue from the REITs and have elected, in certain cases, to receive a portion of this
revenue in the form of restricted common stock of the REITs rather than cash.
The following table sets forth certain information about our investments in the REITs (dollars in
thousands):

We recognized income from our equity investments in the REITs of $1.8 million and $2.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we received
distributions of available cash from CPA®:17 Globals operating partnership of $1.8
million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which
we recorded as income from equity investments in the REITs within the investment management
segment. Our proportionate share of income or loss recognized from our equity investments in the
REITs is impacted by several factors, including impairment charges recorded by the REITs. During
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the REITs recognized impairment charges totaling
$8.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, which reduced the income we earned from these
investments by $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
Interests in Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments
We own interests in single-tenant net leased properties leased to corporations through
noncontrolling interests in (i) partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control
but over which we exercise significant influence, and (ii) as tenants-in-common subject to joint
control. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly-owned with affiliates. We account for
these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by
our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments
required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences from other-than-temporary
impairments).
The following table sets forth our ownership interests in our equity investments in real estate and
their respective carrying values (dollars in thousands):

In addition, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.2 million to reflect the decline in the estimated fair value of the ventures underlying net assets in comparison with the carrying value of our interest in the venture. | |
(e) | In 2010, this venture refinanced its maturing non-recourse mortgage debt with new non-recourse financing and distributed the net proceeds to the venture partners. Our share of the distribution was $5.5 million, which exceeded our total investment in the venture at that time. | |
(f) | In 2007, this venture refinanced its existing non-recourse mortgage debt with new non-recourse financing based on the appraised value of its underlying real estate and distributed the proceeds to the venture partners.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
Under current authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements, the fair value of an
asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset
is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the
inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for
identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity
securities and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted
prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative
instruments, including interest rate caps and swaps; and Level 3, for which little or no market
data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions, such as certain securities.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 13
Table of Contents
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument:
Money Market Funds Our money market funds consisted of government securities and treasury bills.
These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine
their fair values.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities Our derivative assets and liabilities primarily comprised of
interest rate swaps or caps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily
observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates. Our derivative instruments were
classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank
counterparties that are not traded in an active market.
Other Securities Our other securities primarily comprised of our investment in an India growth
fund and our interest in a commercial mortgage loan securitization. These funds are not traded in
an active market. We estimated the fair value of these securities using internal valuation models
that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these
assets as Level 3.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest We account for the noncontrolling interest in WPCI as
redeemable noncontrolling interest. We determined the valuation of redeemable noncontrolling
interest using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow on the expected
cash flows of the investment as well as the income capitalization approach, which considers
prevailing market capitalization rates. We classified this liability as Level 3.
The following tables set forth our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on
a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Assets and liabilities presented below
exclude assets and liabilities owned by unconsolidated ventures (in thousands):

We perform an assessment, when required, of the value of certain of our real estate investments in
accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance. As part of that assessment, we
determined the valuation of these assets using widely accepted valuation techniques, including
expected discounted cash flows or an income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing
market capitalization rates. We reviewed each investment based on the highest and best use of the
investment and market participation assumptions. We determined that the significant inputs used to
value these investments fall within Level 3. We calculated the impairment charges recorded during
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 based on contracted or expected selling prices. The
valuation of real estate is subject to significant judgment and actual results may differ
materially if market conditions change.
The following table presents information about our nonfinancial assets that were measured on a fair
value basis for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. All of the impairment charges were measured using unobservable
inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

Note 8. Risk Management
In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are
three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. We are
subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of
default on our operations and tenants inability or unwillingness to make contractually required
payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans, as well as
changes in the value of our other securities and the shares we hold in the REITs due to changes in
interest rates or other market factors. In addition, we own investments in the European Union and
are subject to the risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates.
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a group of tenants is engaged in similar business
activities or is subject to similar economic risks or conditions that could cause them to default
on their lease obligations to us. We regularly monitor our portfolio to assess potential
concentrations of credit risk. While we believe our portfolio is reasonably well diversified, it
does contain concentrations in excess of 10% of current annualized lease revenues in certain areas,
as described below. The percentages in the paragraph below represent our directly-owned real estate
properties and do not include our pro rata share of equity investments.
At March 31, 2011, the majority of our directly-owned real estate properties were located in the
U.S. (88%), with Texas (22%), California (15%) and Georgia (12%) representing the most significant
geographic concentrations, based on percentage of our annualized contractual minimum base rent for
the first quarter of 2011. At March 31, 2011, our directly-owned real estate properties
contained concentrations in the following asset types: office (35%), industrial (31%) and
warehouse/distribution (18%); and in the following tenant industries: business and commercial
services (14%) and retail stores (14%).

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2011, we were not involved in any material litigation.
Various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business are pending against us. The
results of these proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
We have provided certain representations in connection with divestitures of certain of our
properties. These representations address a variety of matters including environmental liabilities.
We are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under
such representations.
Merger of Affiliates
Based upon agreements we entered into during December 2010 in connection with the Merger between
CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 Global, we have agreed to purchase three properties
from CPA®:14, in which we already had a joint venture interest, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $31.8 million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.3 million
of indebtedness. In addition, in order to fund part of the merger consideration of approximately
$523.3 million, we have agreed to purchase approximately 13.8 million shares of CPA®:16
Global for approximately $121.0 million. The Merger closed on May 2, 2011, as described in Note
15.
Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
The total compensation expense (net of forfeitures) for our stock-based compensation plans was $2.5
million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, which is included in General
and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. The tax benefit recognized by
us related to these plans totaled $1.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011
and 2010.
We have several stock-based compensation plans or arrangements, including the 2009 Share Incentive
Plan, 1997 Share Incentive Plan (under which no further grants can be made), 2009 Non-Employee
Directors Incentive Plan, 1997 Non-Employee Directors Plan (under which no further grants can be
made), and Employee Share Purchase Plan. There has been no significant activity or changes to the
terms and conditions of any of these plans or arrangements during 2011, other than those described
below.
2009 Share Incentive Plan
In January 2011, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved long-term incentive
awards consisting of 178,550 restricted stock units (RSUs), which represent the right to receive
shares of our common stock based on established restrictions, and 191,600 performance share units
(PSUs), which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock based on the level of
achievement during a specified performance period of one or more performance goals, under the 2009
Share Incentive Plan. The RSUs are scheduled to vest over three years. Vesting of the PSUs is
conditioned upon certain performance goals being met by us during the performance period from
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013. The ultimate number of shares to be issued upon vesting
of PSUs will depend on the extent to which we meet the performance goals and can range from zero to
three times the original target awards noted above. On the grant date, the compensation committee
set goals for the 2011 grant. Based in part on our results through March 31, 2011 and expectations
at that date regarding our future performance, we currently anticipate that the performance goals
for the PSUs granted in 2011 will be met at target levels. As a result of the 2011 awards, we
currently expect to recognize compensation expense totaling approximately $14.0 million over the
vesting period, of which $0.9 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
We will review our performance against these goals on an ongoing basis and update expectations as
warranted.

Earnings Per Share
Under current authoritative guidance for determining earnings per share, all unvested share-based
payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions are considered to be
participating securities and therefore are included in the computation of earnings
per share under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that
determines earnings per share for each class of common shares and participating security according
to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Our
unvested RSUs contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distribution equivalents, and therefore we
apply the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share
below excludes the income attributable to the unvested RSUs from the numerator. The following table
summarizes basic and diluted earnings for the periods indicated (in thousands, except share
amounts):

three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the earnings per share
computations above as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Note 11. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to a parent. There were no changes in our ownership interest in any of our consolidated
subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
We account for the noncontrolling interest in WPCI held by one of our officers as a redeemable
noncontrolling interest, as we have an obligation to repurchase the interest from that officer,
subject to certain conditions. The officers interest is reflected at estimated redemption value
for all periods presented. Redeemable noncontrolling interests, as presented on the consolidated
balance sheets, reflect an adjustment of ($0.7) million and ($0.5) million at March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively, to present the noncontrolling interest at redemption value.

Note 12. Income Taxes
Income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $7.6 million and $4.1
million, respectively. The difference in the provision for income taxes reflected in the
consolidated statements of income as compared to the provision calculated at the statutory federal
income tax rate is primarily attributable to state and foreign income taxes, the tax classification
of entities in the consolidated group and various permanent differences between pre-tax GAAP income
and taxable income.
We have elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As
partnerships, we and our partnership subsidiaries are generally not directly subject to tax. We
conduct our investment management services primarily through taxable subsidiaries. These operations
are subject to federal, state, local and foreign taxes, as applicable. We conduct business in the
U.S. and the European Union, and as a result, we or one or more of our subsidiaries file income tax
returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and certain foreign jurisdictions. With
few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax
examinations for years before 2007. Certain of our inter-company transactions that have been
eliminated in consolidation for financial accounting purposes are also subject to taxation.
Periodically, shares in the CPA® REITs that are payable to our taxable subsidiaries in
consideration for services rendered are distributed from these subsidiaries to us.
Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Such audits can often take years to
complete and settle. The tax years 2007 through 2011 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which we are subject.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Carey REIT II, Inc. (Carey REIT II), owns our real estate assets and
has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. We
believe we have operated, and we intend to continue to operate, in a manner that allows Carey REIT
II to continue to qualify as a REIT. Under the REIT operating structure, Carey REIT II is permitted
to deduct distributions paid to our shareholders and generally will not be required to pay U.S.
federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the
consolidated financial statements.

Note 13. Segment Reporting
We evaluate our results from operations by our two major business segments investment management
and real estate ownership (Note 1). Effective January 1, 2011, we include our equity investments in
the REITs in our real estate ownership segment. The equity income or loss from the REITs that is
now included in our real estate ownership segment represents our proportionate share of the revenue
less expenses of the net-leased properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with
that of our directly-owned properties. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The following table presents a summary

Note 14. Discontinued Operations
From time to time, tenants may vacate space due to lease buy-outs, elections not to renew their
leases, insolvency or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In these cases, we assess whether
we can obtain the highest value from the property by re-leasing or selling it. In addition, in
certain cases, we may try to sell a property that is occupied. When it is appropriate to do so
under current accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, we classify the property
as an asset held for sale and the current and prior period results of operations of the property
are reclassified as discontinued operations.
2011 During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we sold two domestic properties for $9.2
million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales of $0.8 million, excluding
impairment charges of $2.3 million previously recognized in 2010.
2010 During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we sold three domestic properties for $6.6
million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling $0.4 million,
excluding impairment charges of $3.1 million previously recognized in 2009. In addition to the $2.3
million of impairment charges described above, we recognized impairment charges of $4.9 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2010 on two properties to reduce the carrying value of the
properties to their estimated fair values, which reflected their contracted selling prices. We sold
these properties in the third quarter of 2010.
The results of operations for properties that are held for sale or have been sold are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are

Note 15. Subsequent Events
Merger of Affiliates
On May 2, 2011, CPA®:14 merged with and into a subsidiary of CPA®:16
Global based on a definitive merger agreement executed on December 13, 2010 (Note 3).
In connection with the Merger, on May 2, 2011, we purchased three properties from
CPA®:14, in which we already had a joint venture interest, for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $32.1 million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.7 million of
indebtedness.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 21
Table of Contents
Upon consummation of the Merger, we earned revenues of $31.2 million in connection with the
termination of the advisory agreements with CPA®:14 and $21.3 million of subordinated
disposition revenues that will be recorded in the second quarter of 2011. We elected to receive our
termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which we exchanged into approximately 3.2 million
shares of CPA®:16 Global in order to facilitate the merger transaction. In addition,
we will receive approximately $11.1 million as a result of the $1.00 per share special cash
distribution to be paid by CPA®:14 to its shareholders, in part from the proceeds of the
CPA®:14 asset sales. Upon closing of the Merger, we received approximately 13.2 million
shares of common stock of CPA®:16 Global in respect of our shares of
CPA®:14.
Carey Asset Management (CAM), our subsidiary that acts as the advisor to the REITs, has waived
any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:16 Global under its advisory agreement with CAM
in respect of the properties acquired in the Merger and also waived any disposition fees that may
subsequently be payable by CPA®:16 Global upon a sale of such assets. Additionally,
on May 2, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated advisory agreement with CPA®:16
Global which changes our fee arrangement with CPA®:16 Global under its new UPREIT
structure. Changes include, among others, a reduction in our asset management fee from 1% to 0.5%
of the property value of the assets under management and a new requirement for a distribution of
10% of the available cash of CPA®:16 Globals special general partner.
In the Merger, CPA®:14 shareholders were entitled to receive $11.50 per share, which is
equal to the estimated net asset value (NAV) of CPA®:14 as of September 30, 2010. The
merger consideration of approximately $534.4 million was paid by CPA®:16 Global,
including payment of approximately $486.3 million to liquidating shareholders and approximately
$48.1 million to shareholders merging into CPA®:16 Global. Prior to the Merger, we
agreed to purchase a sufficient number of shares of CPA®:16 Global common stock from
CPA®:16 Global to enable it to pay the merger consideration if the cash on hand and
available to CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 Global, including the proceeds of the
CPA®:14 asset sales and a new $320.0 million senior credit facility of
CPA®:16 Global, were not sufficient. Accordingly, we purchased approximately 13.8
million shares of CPA®:16 Global on May 2, 2011 for approximately $121.0 million
which we funded with cash on hand and available credit facilities, including $121.4 million drawn
on our existing line of credit. Subsequent to the Merger we own approximately 34.5 million shares,
or 17.3%, of CPA®:16 Global.
Financing
On May 2, 2011, we obtained a $30.0 million secured revolving line of credit from Bank of America.
The secured line of credit provides for an annual interest rate (as defined in the credit facility
agreement) of either: (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.50%, or (ii) the Alternative Base Rate plus
3.50%. In addition, we paid a commitment fee of 0.25%, or $75,000, and are required to pay an
annual fee on the unused portion of the line of credit of 50 basis points. This new line of credit
is collateralized by five properties with a carrying value of approximately $51.4 million and is
coterminous with the unsecured line of credit, expiring in June 2012. Through the date of this
Report, we have borrowed $10.0 million on this line and used a portion of it to fund a short-term
$4.0 million loan to CWI.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A) is
intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial
statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from
period to period. MD&A also provides the reader with our perspective on our financial position and
liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. The discussion also
provides information about the financial results of the segments of our business to provide a
better understanding of how these segments and their results affect our financial condition and
results of operations. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report.
Business Overview
We provide long-term financing via sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for companies
worldwide and manage a global investment portfolio of 970 properties, including our own portfolio.
We operate in two business segments investment management and real estate ownership, as
described below.
Investment Management As of March 31, 2011, we provided services to five affiliated
publicly-owned, non-listed real estate investment trusts: CPA®:14, CPA®:15,
CPA®:16 Global, CPA®:17 Global and CWI. In May 2011, CPA®:14
merged with and into a subsidiary of CPA®:16 Global. We structure and negotiate
investments and debt placement transactions for the REITs, for which we earn structuring revenue,
and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset-based management
and performance revenue. We earn asset-based management and performance revenue from the CPA®
REITs based on the value of their real estate-related and, for CWI, its lodging-related
assets under management. As funds available to the REITs are invested, the asset base from which we
earn revenue increases. In addition, we also receive a percentage of distributions of available
cash from the operating partnerships of CPA®:17 Global and CWI. We may also earn
incentive and disposition revenue and receive other compensation in connection with providing
liquidity alternatives to the REIT shareholders. Collectively, at March 31, 2011 the CPA®
REITs owned all or a portion of over 840 properties, including certain properties in which we
have an ownership interest. Substantially all of these properties, totaling approximately 103
million square feet (on a pro rata basis), were net leased to 232 tenants, with an average
occupancy rate of approximately 98%. CWI did not own or operate any properties at March 31, 2011.
Real Estate Ownership We own and invest in commercial properties in the U.S. and the European
Union that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net leased basis, which requires
each tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the
property. We may also invest in other properties if opportunities arise. At March 31, 2011, our
portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interest in 162 properties, including
certain properties in which the CPA®REITs have an ownership interest. Substantially all
of these properties, totaling approximately 14 million square feet (on a pro rata basis), were net
leased to 75 tenants, with an occupancy rate of approximately 90%.

Total revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010, primarily due to structuring revenue earned in connection with an increase in
investment volume on behalf of the CPA® REITs in the first quarter of 2011 and revenue
earned from investments we made in 2010 for our owned portfolio.
Net income increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in
2010. Results from operations in our investment management segment were significantly higher during
the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to a higher volume of investments structured
on behalf of the CPA® REITs. Results from operations in our real estate ownership
segment benefited from lower impairment charges recognized in the current year period.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010, primarily due to three factors. Firstly, we restructured the timing of when we receive the deferred
acquisition fee from CPA®:17 Global. In our older funds, the deferred acquisition fee was received in a lump sum
in January of each year regardless of when the investment was made. In CPA®:17 Global, we receive this payment
in the quarter immediately after the quarter in which the acquisition was made and then in that same quarter each
year after that, which has the effect of spreading these payments out over the entire year rather than receiving them
in January alone. Secondly, a greater portion of our management revenues are being received in shares of the CPA®
funds. Thirdly, lower investment volume in 2008 and 2009 for all CPA® REITs decreased the amount of the
deferred acquisition fee in the current period.

Our quarterly cash distribution increased to $0.512 per share for the first quarter of 2011, which
equates to $2.05 per share on an annualized basis.
We consider the performance metrics listed above as well as certain non-GAAP metrics such as
earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization, funds from operations as
adjusted, and adjusted cash flow from operating activities to be important measures in the
evaluation of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. We evaluate our results
of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality and amount of
assets under management by our investment management segment and seeking to increase value in our
real estate ownership segment. Results of operations by reportable segment are described below in
Results of Operations.
Current Trends
General Economic Environment
We and our managed funds are impacted by macro-economic environmental factors, the capital markets,
and general conditions in the commercial real estate market, both in the U.S. and globally. As of
the date of this Report, we have seen signs of modest improvement in the global economy following
the significant distress experienced in 2008 and 2009. Our experience during the three months ended
March 31, 2011 reflected strong investment volume, as well as an improved financing and fundraising
environment. While these factors reflect favorably on our business, the pace of the economic
recovery remains slow, and our business remains dependent on the speed and strength of the
recovery, which cannot be predicted at this time. Nevertheless, as of the date of this Report, the
impact of current financial and economic trends on our business, and our response to those trends,
is presented below.
Foreign Exchange Rates
We have foreign investments and, as a result, are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate
movements. Our results of foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely
affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, the U.S. dollar weakened in relation to the Euro as evidenced by the change in the
end-of-period conversion rate of the Euro, which increased by 6% to $1.4099 at March 31, 2011 from
$1.3253 at December 31, 2010. Investments denominated in the Euro accounted for approximately 12%
of our annualized contractual minimum base rent and 32% of aggregate annualized contractual minimum
base rent for the CPA® REITs for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This weakening
had a favorable impact on our balance sheet at March 31, 2011 as compared to our balance sheet at
December 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the average conversion rate for
the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro decreased by 1% in comparison to the same period in 2010.
While we actively manage our foreign exchange risk, a significant unhedged decline in the value of
the Euro could have a material negative impact on our net asset values, future results, financial
position and cash flows. Such a decline would particularly impact the CPA® REITs, which
have higher levels of international investments than we have in our owned portfolio.
Capital Markets
Capital market conditions continue to exhibit evidence of post-crisis improvement, including new
issuances of commercial mortgage-backed securities debt. Capital inflows to both commercial real
estate debt and equity markets have helped increase the availability of mortgage financing and
asset prices continue to recover from their credit crisis lows. The availability of financing for
secured transactions has expanded; however, lenders remain cautious and are employing more
conservative underwriting standards. Commercial real estate capitalization rates remain narrow
compared to credit crisis highs, especially for higher-quality assets or assets leased to tenants
with strong credit. The improvement in financing conditions combined with a stabilization of prices
for high quality assets has helped to increase transaction activity, however increased competition
from both public and private investors continues.
Investment Opportunities
We earn structuring revenue on the investments we structure on behalf of the REITs. Our ability to
complete these investments, and thereby earn structuring revenue, fluctuates based on the pricing
and availability of transactions and the pricing and availability of financing, among other
factors.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 24
Table of Contents
As a result of the recent improving economic conditions and increasing seller optimism, we have
seen an increased number of investment opportunities that we believe will allow us to structure
transactions on behalf of the REITs on favorable terms. Although capitalization rates have remained
compressed over the past few quarters compared to their credit crisis highs, we believe that the
investment environment remains attractive and that we will be able to achieve the targeted returns
of our managed funds. We believe that the significant amount of corporate debt that remains
outstanding in the marketplace, which will need to be refinanced over the next several years, will
provide attractive investment opportunities for net lease investors such as W. P. Carey and the
REITs. To the extent that these trends continue, we believe that investment volume will benefit.
However, we have recently seen an increasing level of competition for investments, both
domestically and in Europe, and further capital inflows into the marketplace could put additional
pressure on the returns that we can generate from investments. However, we expect to continue to
expand our ability to source deals in other markets.
We structured investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs totaling $344.8 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2011, and based on current conditions, we expect that we will be able
to continue to take advantage of the investment opportunities we are seeing in both the U.S. and
Europe in the near term. International investments comprised 60% (on a pro rata basis) of total
investments during the three months ended March 31, 2011. While this fluctuates from quarter to
quarter, we currently expect that international transactions will continue to form a significant
portion of the investments we structure, although the relative portion of international investments
in any given period will vary.
Financing Conditions
We have recently seen a gradual improvement in both the credit and real estate financing markets.
We continue to see an increase in the number of lenders for both domestic and international
investments as market conditions improve compared to prior years. However, during the fourth
quarter of 2010, the cost of debt rose, but we anticipate that this may be recoverable either
through deal pricing or if lenders adjust their spreads, which had been unusually high during the
crisis. The increase was primarily a result of a rise in the 10-year treasury rates for domestic
deals and due to the impact of the sovereign debt issues in Europe. During the three months ended
March 31, 2011, we obtained non-recourse mortgage financing totaling $309.4 million on behalf of
the CPA® REITs and $27.6 million for our owned real estate portfolio (each on a pro rata
basis).
Real Estate Sector
As noted above, the commercial real estate market is impacted by a variety of macro-economic
factors, including but not limited to growth in gross domestic product, unemployment, interest
rates, inflation, and demographics. Despite improvements in expectations, since the beginning of
the credit crisis, these macro-economic factors have persisted, negatively impacting commercial
real estate market fundamentals, which has resulted in higher vacancies, lower rental rates, and
lower demand for vacant space. However, recently there have been some indications of stabilization
in asset values and slight improvements in occupancy rates. We and the REITs are chiefly affected
by changes in the appraised values of our properties, tenant defaults, inflation, lease
expirations, and occupancy rates.
Net Asset Values of the REITs
We own shares in each of the REITs and earn asset management revenue based on a percentage of
average invested assets for each REIT. As such, we benefit from rising investment values and are
negatively impacted when these values decrease. As a result of continued weakness in the economy
and a weakening of the Euro versus the dollar during 2010 and 2009, the NAVs for CPA®:14
and CPA®:16 Global at September 30, 2010, which were calculated in connection with
the Merger, were lower than the NAVs at December 31, 2009. Additionally, the NAV for
CPA®:15 at December 31, 2010 was also lower.
The following table presents recent NAVs per share for these CPA® REITs:

W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 25
Table of Contents
The NAVs of the CPA® REITs are based on a number of variables, including individual
tenant credits, lease terms, lending credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, and tenant
defaults, among others. We do not control these variables and, as such, cannot predict how they
will change in the future.
Credit Quality of Tenants
As a net lease investor, we are exposed to credit risk within our tenant portfolio, which can
reduce our results of operations and cash flow from operations if our tenants are unable to pay
their rent. Within our managed portfolios, tenant defaults can reduce our asset management revenue
if they lead to a decline in the appraised value of the assets of the REITs and can also reduce our
income and distributions from equity investments in the REITs. Tenants experiencing financial
difficulties may become delinquent on their rent and/or default on their leases and, if they file
for bankruptcy protection, may reject our lease in bankruptcy court resulting in reduced cash flow
which may negatively impact net asset values and require us or the REITs to incur impairment
charges. Even where a default has not occurred and a tenant is continuing to make the required
lease payments, we may restructure or renew leases on less favorable terms, or the tenants credit
profile may deteriorate, which could affect the value of the leased asset and could in turn require
us or the REITs to incur impairment charges.
As of the date of this Report, we have no significant exposure to tenants operating under
bankruptcy protection in our owned portfolio, while in the CPA® REITs portfolios,
tenants operating under bankruptcy protection, administration or receivership account for less than
1% of aggregate annualized contractual minimum base rent, a decrease from levels experienced during
the crisis. The continued improvements in general business conditions have favorably impacted the
overall credit quality of our and the REITs tenants. However, it is possible that additional
tenants may file for bankruptcy or default on their leases during the remainder of 2011 and that
economic conditions may again deteriorate.
To mitigate credit risk, we have historically looked to invest in assets that we believe are
critically important to our tenants operations and have attempted to diversify the portfolios by
tenant, tenant industry and geography. We also monitor tenant performance through review of rent
delinquencies as a precursor to a potential default, meetings with tenant management and review of
tenants financial statements and compliance with any financial covenants. When necessary, our
asset management process includes restructuring transactions to meet the evolving needs of tenants,
re-leasing properties, refinancing debt and selling properties, as well as protecting our rights
when tenants default or enter into bankruptcy.
Inflation
Our leases and those of the CPA® REITs generally have rent adjustments that are either
fixed or based on formulas indexed to changes in the consumer price index (CPI) or other similar
indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located. Because these rent adjustments may
be calculated based on changes in the CPI over a multi-year period, changes in inflation rates can
have a delayed impact on our results of operations. Despite recent signs of inflationary pressure,
we continue to expect that rent increases in our owned portfolio and in the portfolios of the
CPA® REITs will be significantly lower in coming years as a result of the current
historically low inflation rates in the U.S. and the Euro zone.
Lease Expirations and Occupancy
We actively manage our owned real estate portfolio and the portfolios of the CPA® REITs
and begin discussing options with tenants in advance of the scheduled lease expiration. In certain
cases, we obtain lease renewals from our tenants; however, tenants may elect to move out at the end
of their term or may elect to exercise purchase options, if any, in their leases. In cases where
tenants elect not to renew, we may seek replacement tenants or try to sell the property. As of the
date of this Report, 9% of the annualized contractual minimum base rent in our owned portfolio is
scheduled to expire in the next twelve months. For those leases that we believe will be renewed, we
expect that renewed rents may be below the tenants existing contractual rents and that lease terms
may be shorter than historical norms, reflecting current market conditions.
The occupancy rate for our owned real estate portfolio increased slightly from 89% at December 31,
2010 to 90% as of March 31, 2011.

Fundraising
Fundraising trends for non-traded REITs overall include an increase in average monthly volume
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. We have made a
concerted effort to broaden our distribution channels and are seeing a greater portion of our
fundraising come from an expanded network of broker-dealers as a result of these efforts. We
continue to witness increased competition for investment dollars.
CPA®:17 Globals registration statement for a continuous public offering of up to an
additional $1.0 billion of common stock was declared effective by the SEC on April 7, 2011 and as a
result, its initial public offering was terminated. Through the termination of CPA®:17
Globals initial public offering, we raised $163.8 million during 2011 and more than $1.5
billion on its behalf since beginning fundraising in December 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we raised $14.2 million for CWI, which has filed a
registration statement to sell up to $1.0 billion of common stock in an initial public offering for
the purpose of acquiring interests in lodging and lodging-related properties.
Proposed Accounting Changes
The International Accounting Standards Board and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
have issued an Exposure Draft on a joint proposal that would dramatically transform lease
accounting from the existing model. These changes would impact most companies but are particularly
applicable to those that are significant users of real estate. The proposal outlines a completely
new model for accounting by lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under all leases,
existing and new, would be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For some companies, the
new accounting guidance may influence whether or not, or the extent to which, they may enter into
the type of sale-leaseback transactions in which we specialize. At this time, the proposed guidance
has not been finalized and as such we are unable to determine whether this proposal will have a
material impact on our business.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB discussed the accounting treatment for
deconsolidating subsidiaries in situations other than a sale or transfer at its September and
November 2010 meetings. While the EITF did not reach a consensus for exposure, the EITF determined
that further research was necessary to more fully understand the scope and implications of the
matter, prior to issuing a consensus for exposure. If the EITF reaches a consensus for exposure, we
will evaluate the impact on such conclusion on our financial statements. During the three months
ended March 31, 2011, CPA®:15 deconsolidated an in-substance real estate subsidiary and
recognized a net gain on deconsolidation of $4.5 million.

Results of Operations
We evaluate our results of operations by our two major business segments investment management
and real estate ownership. Effective January 1, 2011, we include our equity investments in the
REITs in our real estate ownership segment. The equity income or loss from the REITs that is now
included in our real estate ownership segment represents our proportionate share of the revenue
less expenses of the net-leased properties held by the REITs. This treatment is consistent with
that of our directly-owned properties. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. A summary of comparative results of
these business segments is as follows:

Asset Management Revenue
We earn asset-based management and performance revenue from the REITs based on the value of their
real estate-related assets under management. This asset management revenue may increase or decrease
depending upon (i) increases in the REIT asset bases as a result of new investments; (ii) decreases
in the REIT asset bases as a result of sales of investments; (iii) increases or decreases in the
appraised value of the real estate-related assets in the REIT investment portfolios; and (iv)
whether the CPA® REITs are meeting their performance criteria. Each CPA® REIT
met its performance criteria for all periods presented. The availability of funds for new
investments is substantially dependent on our ability to raise funds for investment by the REITs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, asset management
revenue increased by $1.0 million, primarily due to an increase in revenue of $1.9 million from
CPA®:17 Global as a result of new investments entered into during 2010 and 2011. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the other CPA® REITs as a
result of the decline in the most recently appraised value of their real estate-related assets
during 2010.
We did not earn asset management revenue from CWI for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010 as it had no investments.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 28
Table of Contents
Structuring Revenue
We earn structuring revenue when we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement
transactions for the REITs. Structuring revenue is dependent on investment activity, which is
subject to significant period-to-period variation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, structuring
revenue increased by $9.1 million, primarily due to higher investment volume in the current year
period. We structured real estate investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs totaling
$344.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $149.1 million in the same
prior year period. As of March 31, 2011, we had not earned any structuring revenue from CWI as it
had not acquired any investments through that date.
Reimbursed and Reimbursable Costs
Reimbursed costs from affiliates (revenue) and reimbursable costs (expenses) represent costs
incurred by us on behalf of the REITs, consisting primarily of broker-dealer commissions and
marketing and personnel costs, which are reimbursed by the REITs. Revenue from reimbursed costs
from affiliates is offset by corresponding charges to reimbursable costs and therefore has no
impact on our results of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, reimbursed and
reimbursable costs increased by $3.1 million, primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in
commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CPA®:17 Globals initial public
offering related to a corresponding increase in funds raised. In addition, reimbursed and
reimbursable costs increased by $1.2 million in the current year period due to broker-dealer
commissions related to CWIs initial public offering.
General and Administrative
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, general and
administrative expenses increased by $3.7 million, primarily due to increases in
compensation-related costs of $2.0 million, underwriting costs of $0.6 million in connection with
CPA®:17 Globals initial public offering and professional fees of $0.5 million.
Compensation-related costs were higher in 2011 primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to
investment officers as a result of higher investment volume during 2011. Underwriting costs related
to CPA®:17 Globals offering are generally offset by wholesaling revenue, which we
earn based on the number of shares of CPA®:17 Global sold.
Income from Equity Investments in the REITs
Distributions of available cash from CPA®:17 Global and CWIs operating partnerships
are recorded as income from equity investments in the REITs within the investment management
segment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, income from
equity investments in the REITs increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to higher cash
distributions received and earned from CPA®:17 Globals operating partnership as a
result of higher investment volume. As of March 31, 2011, we had not received any cash
distributions from CWIs operating partnership as it did not have significant operations.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, provision for
income taxes increased by $3.8 million, primarily due to higher pre-tax income as a result of higher
investment volume structured on behalf of CPA®:17 Global in the current year period.
Net Income from Investment Management Attributable to W. P. Carey Members
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, the resulting net
income from investment management attributable to W. P. Carey members increased by $5.4 million.

(b) | The increase was due to a CPI-based (or equivalent) rent increase. | |

In addition, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.2 million to reflect the decline in the fair value of our interest in the venture. | |
(d) | In March 2010, this venture completed the sale of this property. We have no further economic interest in this venture. |
The table above does not reflect our 5% interest in a venture (Lending Venture) that holds a note
receivable (the Note Receivable) from the holder (the Partner) of a 75.3% interest in a limited
partnership (Partnership) owning 37 properties throughout Germany at a total cost of $336.0
million. Concurrently, our affiliates also acquired an interest in a second venture (the Property
Venture) that acquired the remaining 24.7% ownership interest in the Partnership as well as an
option to purchase an additional 75% interest from the Partner by December 2010. Also in connection
with this transaction, the Lending Venture obtained non-recourse financing of $284.9 million having
a fixed annual interest rate of 5.5%, a term of 10 years and is collateralized by the 37 German
properties. In November 2010, the Property Venture exercised a portion of its call option via the
Lending Venture whereby the Partner exchanged a 70% interest in the Partnership for a $295.7
million reduction in the Note Receivable. Subsequent to the exercise of the option, the Property
Venture now owns a 94.7% interest in the Partnership and retains options to purchase the remaining
5.3% interest from the Partner by December 2012. All dollar amounts are based on the exchange rates
of the Euro at the dates of the transactions, and dollar amounts provided represent the total
amounts attributable to the ventures and do not represent our proportionate share. For the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, the venture recognized interest income of $0.3 million and
$6.8 million, respectively. This amount represents total amount attributable to the entire venture,
not our proportionate share, and is subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Euro.
Lease Revenues
Our net leases generally have rent adjustments based on formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or
other similar indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, sales overrides or
other periodic increases, which are intended to increase lease revenues in the future. We own
international investments and, therefore, lease revenues from these investments are subject to
fluctuations in exchange rate movements in foreign currencies.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, lease revenues
decreased by $0.2 million, primarily due to the impact of recent tenant activity, including lease
restructurings, lease expirations and property sales, which resulted in a reduction to lease
revenues of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in lease revenues of $1.2 million as a
result of investments we entered into during 2010.

Table of Contents
Other Real Estate Income
Other real estate income generally consists of revenue from Carey Storage, a subsidiary that
invests in domestic self-storage properties, and Livho, a subsidiary that operates a hotel
franchise in Livonia, Michigan. Other real estate income also includes lease
termination payments and other non-rent related revenues from real estate ownership including, but
not limited to, settlements of claims against former lessees. We receive settlements in the
ordinary course of business; however, the timing and amount of settlements cannot always be
estimated.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, other real estate
income increased by $1.5 million, primarily due to $1.1 million of income generated from the
self-storage properties that Carey Storage acquired during 2010 as well as increases of $0.5
million in reimbursable tenant costs.
Property Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, property expenses
increased by $1.0 million, primarily due to increases in reimbursable tenant costs of $0.5 million.
Property expenses also increased as a result of two tenants vacating properties during 2010.
Income from Equity Investments in Real Estate and the REITs
Income from equity investments in real estate and the REITs represents our proportionate share of
net income or loss (revenue less expenses) from our interests in unconsolidated real estate
investments and our investments in the REITs. The net income of the REITs fluctuates based on the
timing of transactions, such as new leases and property sales, as well as the level of impairment
charges.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, income from
equity investments in real estate and the REITs decreased by $4.2 million, primarily due to income
of $2.5 million recognized by us from a venture, Retail Distribution, in connection with the sale
of its property in March 2010. Income from the Symphony IRI venture also decreased by $1.2 million,
primarily due to an $8.6 million impairment charge recognized on the venture property in connection
with a potential sale, as well as a $0.2 million other-than-temporary impairment charge recognized
by us to reflect the decline in fair value of our interest in the venture. Additionally,
CPA®:14s results of operations in the first quarter of 2010 included an $11.4 million
gain on extinguishment of debt, compared to a $4.5 million gain recognized by CPA®:15 on
deconsolidation of a subsidiary as well as a $2.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt recognized
by CPA®:14 during the first quarter of 2011.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, interest expense
increased by $0.7 million, primarily as a result of mortgage financing obtained in connection with
our investment activities during 2010.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized income from discontinued operations of
$0.9 million, primarily due to net gains recognized on sales of properties totaling $0.8 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized losses from discontinued operations of
$6.1 million, primarily due to impairment charges of $7.2 million recognized on properties sold to
reduce the carrying values of these properties to their contracted selling prices.
Net Income from Real Estate Ownership Attributable to W. P. Carey Members
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, the resulting net
income from real estate ownership attributable to W. P. Carey members increased by $3.5 million.

Financial Condition
Sources and Uses of Cash During the Period
Our cash flows fluctuate period to period due to a number of factors, which may include, among
others, the nature and timing of receipts of transaction-related and performance revenue, the
performance of the CPA® REITs relative to their performance criteria, the timing of
purchases and sales of real estate, the timing of proceeds from non-recourse mortgage loans and
receipt of lease revenue, the
timing and characterization of distributions from equity investments in real estate and the REITs,
the timing of certain payments, and the receipt of the annual installment of deferred acquisition
revenue and interest thereon in the first quarter from certain of the CPA® REITs, and
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Despite this fluctuation, we believe that we will
generate sufficient cash from operations and from equity distributions in excess of equity income
in real estate to meet our normal recurring short-term and long-term liquidity needs, see Impact of
Merger and Asset Sale below. We may also use existing cash resources, the proceeds of non-recourse
mortgage loans, unused capacity on our line of credit and the issuance of additional equity
securities to meet these needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our
sources and uses of cash during the period are described below.
Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010, primarily due to three factors. Firstly, we restructured the timing of when we receive the deferred
acquisition fee from CPA®:17 Global. In our older funds, the deferred acquisition fee was received in a lump sum
in January of each year regardless of when the investment was made. In CPA®:17 Global, we receive this payment
in the quarter immediately after the quarter in which the acquisition was made and then in that same quarter each
year after that, which has the effect of spreading these payments out over the entire year rather than receiving them
in January alone. Secondly, a greater portion of our management revenues are being received in shares of the CPA®
funds. Thirdly, lower investment volume in 2008 and 2009 for all CPA® REITs decreased the amount of the
deferred acquisition fee in the current period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received revenue of $9.6 million in cash for
providing asset-based management services to the CPA® REITs as compared to $10.1 million
in the 2010 period. This amount does not include revenue received from the CPA® REITs in
the form of shares of their restricted common stock rather than cash (see below). During the
current year period, we received revenue of $9.0 million in connection with structuring investments
and debt refinancing on behalf of the CPA® REITs as compared to $3.8 million in the
comparable prior year period. Deferred acquisition revenue received was lower during the three
months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to a shift in the
timing of when deferred acquisition revenue is received and lower investment volume by the
CPA® REITs in prior year periods. For CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and
CPA®:16 Global, we receive deferred acquisition revenue in annual installments each
January. For CPA®:17 Global, such revenue is received annually based on the quarter
that a transaction is completed. This change for CPA®:17 Global has the effect of
spreading the revenue received throughout the year as compared to receiving all deferred revenue in
January.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our real estate ownership segment provided cash flows
(contractual lease revenues, net of property-level debt service) of approximately $9.6 million,
which represents a decrease of $0.4 million from the 2010 period reflecting several tenants
vacating properties.
In 2011, we elected to continue to receive all performance revenue from CPA®:16
Global as well as asset management revenue from CPA®:17 Global in restricted shares
of their common stock rather than cash, while for CPA®:14 and CPA®:15, we
elected to receive 80% of all performance revenue in their restricted shares, with the remaining
20% payable in cash. These elections are consistent with our 2010 elections. For CWI, we elected to
receive all asset management revenue in cash for 2011.
In addition to cash flow from operating activities, we may use the following sources to fund
distributions to shareholders: distributions received from equity investments in excess of equity
income, net contributions from noncontrolling interests, borrowings under our line of credit and
existing cash resources.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate related transactions (purchases and
sales) and capitalized property related costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we
received cash proceeds of $9.2 million from the sale of two properties and $2.8 million in
distributions from equity investments in real estate and the REITs in excess of cumulative equity
income. We made contributions to unconsolidated ventures totaling $2.3 million, including $2.1
million paid to a venture to pay off its maturing non-recourse mortgage loan.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we paid distributions to shareholders of $20.3
million and paid distributions of $1.4 million to affiliates who hold noncontrolling interests in
various entities with us. We also made scheduled mortgage principal payments of $7.3 million.
Borrowings under our line of credit decreased overall by $20.0 million since December 31, 2010 and
were comprised of gross repayments of $110.0 million and borrowings of $90.0 million. Borrowings
under our line of credit were used to finance a $90.0 million loan to CPA®:17 Global
to fund acquisitions that were closed within the first two weeks of 2011. The loan has been repaid
by CPA®:17 Global in full.

Cash Resources
At March 31, 2011, our cash resources consisted of the following:
| Cash and cash equivalents totaling $34.1 million. Of this amount, $7.6 million, at then-current exchange rates, was held in foreign bank accounts, but we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these amounts; |
| A line of credit with unused capacity of $128.3 million. The line of credit is available to us and may also be used to loan funds to our affiliates. Our lender has issued letters of credit totaling $6.8 million on our behalf in connection with certain contractual obligations, which reduce amounts that may be drawn under this facility; and |
| We also had unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $253.5 million, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties. |
Our cash resources can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for
future investments. We continue to evaluate fixed-rate financing options, such as obtaining
non-recourse financing on our unleveraged properties. Any financing obtained may be used for
working capital objectives and/or may be used to pay down existing debt balances.

Line of Credit

Balance | Available | Balance | Available | |||||||||||||
Line of credit |
$ | 121,750 | $ | 250,000 | $ | 141,750 | $ | 250,000 |
We have a $250.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit that is scheduled to mature in June
2011. Pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, the line of credit can be increased up to
$300.0 million at the discretion of the lenders. Additionally, as long as there has been no
default, we may extend the line of credit at our discretion, within 90 days of, but not less than
30 days prior to, expiration, for an additional year. Such extension is subject to the payment of
an extension fee equal to 0.125% of the total commitments under the facility at that time. In March
2011, we notified our lender of our intention to renew our existing $250.0 million unsecured
revolving line of credit. Subsequent to the renewal, the unsecured line of credit expires in June
2012.
The line of credit provides for an annual interest rate, at our election, of either (i) London
inter-bank offered rate (LIBOR) plus a spread that ranges from 75 to 120 basis points depending
on our leverage, or (ii) the greater of the lenders prime rate and the Federal Funds Effective
Rate plus 50 basis points. In addition, we pay an annual fee ranging between 12.5 and 20 basis
points of the unused portion of the line of credit, depending on our leverage ratio. Based on our
leverage ratio at March 31, 2011, we pay interest at LIBOR, or 0.25%, plus 90 basis points and pay
15 basis points on the unused portion of the line of credit.
The credit agreement stipulates six financial covenants that require us to maintain the certain
ratios and benchmarks at the end of each quarter. We were in compliance with these covenants at
March 31, 2011.
Cash Requirements
During the next twelve months, we expect that cash payments will include paying distributions to
our shareholders and to our affiliates who hold noncontrolling interests in entities we control and
making scheduled mortgage loan principal payments, including mortgage balloon payments totaling
$22.0 million, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. See below for cash
requirements related to the Merger.
We expect to fund future investments, any capital expenditures on existing properties and scheduled
debt maturities on non-recourse mortgage loans through cash generated from operations, the use of
our cash reserves or unused amounts on our line of credit.
Impact of Merger and Asset Sale
The May 2, 2011 Merger of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 Global and the asset sale
from CPA®:14 have the following impact on our liquidity and results of operations, see
Subsequent Events below.
In connection with the Merger, we purchased three properties from CPA®:14, in which we
already had a joint venture interest, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.1
million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness.
Upon consummation of the Merger, we earned revenues of $31.2 million in connection with the
termination of the advisory agreements with CPA®:14 and $21.3 million of subordinated
disposition revenues that will be recorded in the second quarter of 2011. We elected to receive our
termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which we exchanged into approximately 3.2 million
shares of CPA®:16 Global in order to facilitate the merger transaction. In addition,
we will receive approximately $11.1 million as a result of the $1.00 per share special cash
distribution to be paid by CPA®:14 to its shareholders, in part from the proceeds of the
CPA®:14 asset sales. Upon closing of the Merger, we received approximately 13.2 million
shares of common stock of CPA®:16 Global in respect of our shares of
CPA®:14. CAM has waived any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:16 Global
under its advisory agreement with CAM in respect of the properties acquired in the Merger and also
waived any disposition fees that may subsequently be payable by CPA®:16 Global upon a
sale of such assets.
W. P. Carey 3/31/2011 10-Q 36
Table of Contents
In the Merger, CPA®:14 shareholders were entitled to receive $11.50 per share, which is
equal to the NAV of CPA®:14 as of September 30, 2010. The merger consideration of
approximately $534.4 million was paid by CPA®:16 Global, including payment of
approximately $486.3 million to liquidating shareholders and approximately $48.1 million to
shareholders merging into CPA®:16
Global. Prior to the Merger, we agreed to purchase a sufficient number of shares of
CPA®:16 Global common stock from CPA®:16 Global to enable it to pay the
merger consideration if the cash on hand and available to CPA®:14 and CPA®:16
Global, including the proceeds of the CPA®:14 asset sales and a new $320.0 million
senior credit facility of CPA®:16 Global, were not sufficient. Accordingly, we
purchased approximately 13.8 million shares of CPA®:16 Global on May 2, 2011 for
$121.0 million which we funded with cash on hand and available credit facilities, including $121.4
million drawn on our existing line of credit. Subsequent to the Merger we own approximately 34.5
million shares, or 17.3%, of CPA®:16 Global.
We estimate that the financial impact of the Merger and the purchase of the assets from
CPA®:14 will be as follows on an annualized pro forma basis; although there can be no
assurance that we will achieve these results:
| An increase in dividends of approximately $11.3 million associated with our investment in CPA®:16 Global; |
| An increase in lease revenue and cash flow totaling approximately $8.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively related to the properties acquired from CPA®:14; |
| A tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million related to the change in our advisory fee arrangement with CPA®:16 Global; |
| A reduction in asset management fee revenue from CPA®:16 Global of approximately $5.5 million as a result of the modification of the advisory agreement; |
| A reduction in asset management revenue approximating $2.1 million related to assets sold by CPA®:14 to us and to third parties in connection with the Merger; |
| A reduction in annual equity income of approximately $0.9 million related to the consolidation of two ventures acquired from CPA®:14; and |
| An increase in interest expense of approximately $5.9 million related to borrowings under our credit facility to finance this transaction and the interest payments on the existing non-recourse mortgages relating to the properties to be acquired. |
Each of the properties we acquired from CPA®:14 has its lease expiration between
December 2015 and August 2019, renewable at the tenants option. There are no scheduled balloon
payments on any of the long-term debt obligations to be assumed in connection with the merger
transaction until June 2016.

Amounts in the table above related to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the
Euro at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, we had no material capital lease obligations for which
we are the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.
Merger of Affiliates
As described under Subsequent Events below, on May 2, 2011, CPA®:14 merged with and into
a subsidiary of CPA®:16 Global based on a definitive merger agreement executed on
December 13, 2010. In connection with our existing commitments associated with the Merger, we
purchased three properties from CPA®:14, in which we already had a joint venture
interest, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $32.1 million, plus the assumption of
approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness. In addition, to fund part of the merger consideration
of approximately $534.4 million, we purchased approximately 13.8 million shares of
CPA®:16 Global for approximately $121.0 million.
Equity Investments in Real Estate
We have investments in unconsolidated ventures that own single-tenant properties net leased to
corporations. Generally, the underlying investments are jointly owned with our affiliates.

Environmental Obligations
In connection with the purchase of many of our properties, we require the sellers to perform
environmental reviews. We believe, based on the results of these reviews, that our properties were
in substantial compliance with federal and state environmental statutes at the time the properties
were acquired. However, portions of certain properties have been subject to some degree of
contamination, principally in connection with leakage from underground storage tanks, surface
spills or other on-site activities. In most instances where contamination has been identified,
tenants are actively engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions.
Tenants are generally subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of
hazardous materials and any related remediation obligations. In addition, our leases generally
require tenants to indemnify us from all liabilities and losses related to the leased properties
with provisions of such indemnification specifically addressing environmental matters. The leases
generally include provisions that allow for periodic environmental assessments, paid for by the
tenant, and allow us to extend leases until such time as a tenant has satisfied its environmental
obligations. Certain of our leases allow us to require financial assurances from tenants, such as
performance bonds or letters of credit, if the costs of remediating environmental conditions are,
in our estimation, in excess of
specified amounts. Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate resolution of environmental matters
should not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of
operations.

Subsequent Events
Merger of Affiliates
On May 2, 2011, CPA®:14 merged with and into a subsidiary of CPA®:16
Global based on a definitive merger agreement executed on December 13, 2010 (Note 3).
In connection with the Merger, on May 2, 2011, we purchased three properties from
CPA®:14, in which we already had a joint venture interest, for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $32.1 million, plus the assumption of $64.7 million of indebtedness.
Upon consummation of the Merger, we earned revenues of $31.2 million in connection with the
termination of the advisory agreements with CPA®:14 and $21.3 million of subordinated
disposition revenues that will be recorded in the second quarter of 2011. We elected to receive our
termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which we exchanged into approximately 3.2 million
shares of CPA®:16 Global in order to facilitate the merger transaction. In addition,
we will receive approximately $11.1 million as a result of the $1.00 per share special cash
distribution to be paid by CPA®:14 to its shareholders, in part from the proceeds of the
CPA®:14 asset sales. Upon closing of the Merger, we received approximately 13.2 million
shares of common stock of CPA®:16 Global in respect of our shares of
CPA®:14.
CAM has waived any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:16 Global under its advisory
agreement with CAM in respect of the properties acquired in the Merger and also waived any
disposition fees that may subsequently be payable by CPA®:16 Global upon a sale of
such assets. Additionally, on May 2, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated advisory
agreement with CPA®:16 Global which changes our fee arrangement with
CPA®:16 Global under its new UPREIT structure. Changes include, among others, a
reduction in our asset management fee from 1% to 0.5% of the property value of the assets under
management and a new requirement for a distribution of 10% of the available cash of
CPA®:16 Globals special general partner.
In the Merger, CPA®:14 shareholders were entitled to receive $11.50 per share, which is
equal to the NAV of CPA®:14 as of September 30, 2010. The merger consideration of
approximately $534.4 million was paid by CPA®:16 Global, including payment of
approximately $486.3 million to liquidating shareholder and approximately $48.1 million to
shareholders merging into CPA®:16 Global. Prior to the Merger, we agreed to purchase
a sufficient number of shares of CPA®:16 Global common stock from CPA®:16
Global to enable it to pay the merger consideration if the cash on hand and available to
CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 Global, including the proceeds of the
CPA®:14 asset sales and a new $320.0 million senior credit facility of
CPA®:16 Global, were not sufficient. Accordingly, we purchased approximately 13.8
million shares of CPA®:16 Global on May 2, 2011 for $121.0 million which we funded
with cash on hand and available credit facilities, including $121.4 million drawn on our existing
line of credit. Subsequent to the Merger, we own approximately 34.5 million shares, or 17.3%, of
CPA®:16 Global.
Financing
On May 2, 2011, we obtained a $30.0 million secured revolving line of credit from Bank of America.
The secured line of credit provides for an annual interest rate (as defined in the credit facility
agreement) of either: (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.50%, or (ii) the Alternative Base Rate plus
3.50%. In addition, we paid a commitment fee of 0.25%, or $75,000, and are required to pay an
annual fee on the unused portion of the line of credit of 50 basis points. This new line of credit
is collateralized by five properties with a carrying value of approximately $51.4 million and is
coterminous with the unsecured line of credit, expiring in June 2012. Through the date of this
Report, we have borrowed $10.0 million on this line and used a portion of it to fund a short-term
$4.0 million loan to CWI.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates and equity prices. The primary risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk
and foreign currency exchange risk. We are also exposed to market risk as a result of
concentrations in certain tenant industries.
We do not generally use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate
risk exposure and do not use derivative instruments to hedge credit/market risks or for speculative
purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
The value of our real estate and related fixed rate debt obligations is subject to fluctuations
based on changes in interest rates. The value of our real estate is also subject to fluctuations
based on local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all
of which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are
scheduled. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and
tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors
beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the value of our owned and
managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets and lower
investment performance for the managed funds. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact
on the credit profile of certain tenants.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowing activities.
To limit this exposure, we attempt to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis.
However, from time to time, we or our venture partners may obtain variable rate non-recourse
mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate swap agreements or interest rate cap
agreements with lenders that effectively convert the variable rate debt service obligations of the
loan to a fixed rate. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of
interest payments for a counterpartys stream of cash flow over a specific period, and interest
rate caps limit the effective borrowing rate of variable rate debt obligations while allowing
participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate swaps and caps are
derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the
debt obligation. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps or caps are based is not
exchanged. Our objective in using these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate
movements. At March 31, 2011, we estimate that the fair value of our interest rate swaps, which are
included in Other assets, net and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the
consolidated financial statements, was a net liability of $0.1 million.
At March 31, 2011, a significant portion (approximately 66%) of our long-term debt either bore
interest at fixed rates, was swapped or capped to a fixed rate, or bore interest at fixed rates
that were scheduled to convert to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain future points
during their term. The estimated fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market
interest rates. The annual interest rates on our fixed-rate debt at March 31, 2011 ranged from 3.1%
to 7.8%. The annual interest rates on our variable-rate debt at March 31, 2011 ranged from 1.2% to
7.3%. Our debt obligations are more fully described under Financial Condition in Item 2 above.
The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt
obligations outstanding at March 31, 2011 (in thousands):
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | Thereafter | Total | Fair value | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fixed rate debt |
$ | 20,396 | $ | 32,601 | $ | 3,510 | $ | 3,324 | $ | 39,385 | $ | 42,431 | $ | 141,647 | $ | 141,960 | ||||||||||||||||
Variable rate debt |
$ | 128,860 | $ | 2,881 | $ | 3,052 | $ | 3,254 | $ | 7,423 | $ | 85,630 | $ | 231,100 | $ | 226,980 |
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt and our variable-rate debt that currently bears
interest at fixed rates or has effectively been converted to a fixed rate through the use of
interest rate swaps or caps is affected by changes in interest rates. A decrease or increase in
interest rates of 1% would change the estimated fair value of this debt at March 31, 2011 by an
aggregate increase of $13.2 million or an aggregate decrease of $12.5 million, respectively. Annual
interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt that does not bear interest at fixed rates at
March 31, 2011 would increase or decrease by $1.3 million for each respective 1% change in annual
interest rates. As more fully described under Financial Condition Summary of Financing in Item 2
above, a portion of the debt classified as variable-rate debt in the tables above bore interest at
fixed rates at March 31, 2011 but has interest rate reset features that
will change the fixed interest rates to then-prevailing market fixed rates at certain points during
their term. Such debt is generally not subject to short-term fluctuations in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We own investments in the European Union and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of
exchange rate movements, primarily in the Euro, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We
manage foreign currency exchange rate movements by generally placing both our debt obligations to
the lender and the tenants rental obligations to us in the same currency. We are generally a net
receiver of the foreign currency (we receive more cash than we pay out), and therefore our foreign
operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar, and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar,
relative to the Euro. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized each net realized
and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains of $0.2 million. These gains are included in
Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements and were primarily due to
changes in the value of the Euro on accrued interest receivable on notes receivable from
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Through the date of this Report, we had not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange
contracts to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have
obtained non-recourse mortgage financing in the local currency. To the extent that currency
fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues as translated to dollars, the change in debt
service, as translated to dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue and,
to some extent, mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency rates.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include our controls and other procedures designed to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of
achieving a companys objectives and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of
controls.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after conducting an evaluation, together
with members of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures at March 31, 2011, have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 31,
2011 at a reasonable level of assurance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most
recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
