2	This	Annual	Report	and	the	financial	highlights	above	contain	references	to	non-GAAP	financial	measures,	including	EBITDA,	AFFO	and	Adjusted	Cash	Flow	from	Operating	Activities.		
EBITDA	–	Represents	earnings	before	interest,	taxes,	depreciation	and	amortization.	
AFFO	–	Represents	funds	from	operations	as	defined	by	the	National	Association	of	Real	Estate	Investment	Trusts	adjusted	to	include	the	impact	of	certain	non-cash	charges	to	net	income.	
Adjusted	 Cash	 Flow	 from	 Operating	 Activities	 –	 Represents	 GAAP	 cash	 flow	 from	 operations	 adjusted	 primarily	 to	 reflect	 certain	 timing	 differences,	 cash	 distributions	 received	 from	
unconsolidated	joint	ventures	in	excess	of	our	equity	investment	in	the	joint	ventures,	and	cash	distributions	we	make	to	our	noncontrolling	partners	in	joint	ventures	that	we	consolidate.

We	 believe	 that	 these	 non-GAAP	 financial	 measures	 are	 useful	 supplemental	 measures	 that	 assist	 investors	 to	 better	 understand	 the	 underlying	 performance	 of	 our	 business	 segments.	
These	non-GAAP	financial	measures	do	not	represent	net	income	or	cash	flow	from	operating	activities	that	are	computed	in	accordance	with	GAAP	and	should	not	be	considered	an	
alternative	 to	 net	 income	 or	 cash	 flow	 from	 operating	 activities	 as	 an	 indicator	 of	 our	 financial	 performance.	These	 non-GAAP	 financial	 measures	 may	 not	 be	 comparable	 to	 similarly	
titled	measures	of	other	companies.	Please	reference	the	Form	8-K,	which	was	filed	on	February	25,	2011,	and	is	available	on	our	website	at	www.wpcarey.com,	for	a	reconciliation	of	these		
non-GAAP	financial	measures	to	our	consolidated	financial	statements.

GAAP	refers	to	accounting	principles	generally	accepted	in	the	United	States	of	America.

	
	
	
	
	
dear Fellow Shareholders

I	founded	W.	P.	Carey	38	years	ago	
with	a	focus	on	creating	investment		
opportunities	that	work	in	good	
times	and	in	bad.	We	have	stood	
resolute	in	following	the	same,	
conservative	approach	to	risk	
management	ever	since,	and	that	
has	enabled	us	to	weather	and	actu-
ally	become	stronger	during	storms	
that	have	thrown	others	off	course.	

As	a	fellow	investor,	I	am	sure		
you	have	come	to	know	that	our	
focus	on	generating	cash	flow		
has	enabled	us	to	increase	the		
distributions	we	pay	each	quarter.	
I	hope	you	are	as	pleased	as	I	
am	that	W.	P.	Carey	has	again	
increased	its	quarterly	cash		
distribution,	this	time	to	$0.512	
per	share	for	the	quarter	ended	
March	31,	2011,	marking	the	
Company’s	40th	consecutive		

quarterly	distribution	increase.	
That	is	a	decade	of	consistently		
rising	income:	40	quarters,		
40	increases.	I	am	particularly	
proud	that	we	were	able	to	pro-
duce	these	increases	during	one	
of	the	most	volatile	economic	
periods	in	American	history.

I	believe	that	the	best	and	most	
accurate	metric	for	evaluating	
an	investment	in	W.	P.	Carey	

Cumulative Total Return Comparison 2005–2010
$100 invested in W. P. Carey & Co. common stock on december 31, 2005, with dividends reinvested,  
would have appreciated in five years to $177—a 15.5% average annual increase, compared with 2.4%  
for the S&P 500 Index and 3.2% for the FTSe nAReIT equity ReITs Index.

is	cumulative	total	shareholder	
returns,	and	for	that	I	turn	your	
attention	to	the	five-year	chart	on	
the	prior	page.	The	chart	shows	
that	$100	invested	on	December	31,		
2005,	with	dividends	reinvested,	
would	have	appreciated	in	five	
years	to	$177	if	the	money	had	
been	put	in	W.	P.	Carey	&	Co.	
common	stock,	compared	with	
$116	for	the	FTSE	NAREIT	Equity	
REITs	Index	and	$112	for	the	S&P	
500	Index.	Those	returns	equate	to	
a	3.2%	average	annual	increase	for	
the	NAREIT	Index,	2.4%	for	the	
S&P	and	15.5%	for	W.	P.	Carey.	

These	returns	demonstrate	our	
success	in	fulfilling	our	most	
important	corporate	mission:	
Investing for the Long Run.	Our	
aim	is	to	help	our	investors	build	
and	maintain	their	lifestyles,	and	
have	the	resources	they	need	to	
meet	their	obligations	and	achieve	

their	dreams,	without	constant	
worry	about	from	where	the	
income	to	fund	them	will	come.	

The	measurement	that	I	watch	
most	closely	for	an	accurate	pic-
ture	of	our	performance	is	funds	
from	operations—as	adjusted	
(AFFO),	and	I	am	pleased	to	
report	good	progress	last	year.	
AFFO	for	2010	was	$130.9	mil-
lion,	or	$3.27	per	diluted	share,	
compared	with	$122.9	million,	
or	$3.09	per	diluted	share,	for	
2009.	During	2010,	W.	P.	Carey	
completed	more	than	$1	billion	in	
transactions	and	achieved	record	
fundraising	of	nearly	$600	million.	
I	am	enthusiastic	about	our	prog-
ress	in	2010,	and	the	running	start	
it	gave	us	to	2011.

I	am	proud	of	our	extraordinary	
group	of	officers	and	employees	
who	have	made	all	this	happen.	

Each	one	believes	in	our	philoso-
phy	of	Investing for the Long Run,	
and	I	have	full	confidence	in	their	
continuing	success	in	delivering	
on	our	two	primary	objectives:	to	
provide	quality	companies	with	
capital	to	run	their	businesses	and	
to	create	investment	products	that	
work	in	good	times	and	bad.	

Critical	to	our	progress	has	been	
our	constant	focus	on	risk	man-
agement,	and	here,	diversification	
is	key.	In	2010,	we	structured	
investments	on	our	own	behalf,	as	
well	as	those	of	our	CPA®-managed	
programs,	totaling	approximately	
$1.1	billion,	almost	double	last	
year’s	volume	of	$548	million.	
We	also	entered	into	several	new	
markets,	including	Spain,	Croatia		
and	China.	At	year-end	2010,	
the	W.	P.	Carey	group—which	
includes	our	managed	funds—	
had	more	than	280	tenant	obligors	

2 0 1 0 	 A n n u a l 	 R e p o r t •	3

 
from	across	a	broad	spectrum	
of	industries,	who	lease	from	us	
more	than	950	properties	in	42	
states	and	17	countries.	With	this	
type	of	diversification,	I	believe	we	
are	well	positioned	for	the	future.	

I	am	often	asked	about	the	secrets	
of	W.	P.	Carey’s	success.	This	is		
my	answer:

1.	I	am	not	on	the	Investment	
Committee.	What	I	really	mean	
is	that	management	is	not	on	the	
Investment	Committee.	That’s	
because	management’s	incentive	is	
to	make	profits,	while	the	role	of	
the	Investment	Committee	is		
to	ensure	sound	long-term	invest-
ments.	The	Investment	Committee	
is	independent,	and	generally		
no	deal	gets	done	without	the	
Committee’s	approval.	The	
Committee	ensures	that	we	are	
properly	diversified,	our	lessees	

are	creditworthy,	and	the	proper-
ties	we	purchase	are	critical	to	
those	lessees.	

The	members	of	the	Investment	
Committee	are	an	amazing	group	
of	talented	people	who	are	excep-
tionally	well	qualified	to	do	the	
critical	work	we	require:	evaluating	
our	proposed	transactions	and	the	
long-term	creditworthiness	of	our	
proposed	lessees.	They	come	from	
the	seniormost	positions	in	top	
insurance	company	bond	depart-
ments,	from	leading	European	
corporations	and	banks,	and	from	
the	most	highly	regarded	universi-
ties.	Their	achievements,	credentials	
and	degrees	are	far	too	numerous	to	
cite	here,	so	I	will	simply	say	that	I	
cannot	envision	a	better-qualified—
or	better-performing—team	to	
make	the	tough	calls.	The	indepen-
dent	Investment	Committee	is		
W.	P.	Carey’s	secret	weapon.

2.	Our	Board	of	Directors	is	
committed	to	doing	the	best	job	
imaginable	for	the	shareholders	
of	W.	P.	Carey.	We	benefit	greatly	
from	their	collective	insight	and	
guidance,	and	I	thank	them	for	
their	fine	work.	A	highlight	of	
the	year	was	the	election	of		
Ben	Griswold	as	Lead	Director.	
Ben	is	Partner	and	Chairman	
of	Brown	Advisory	and	former	
Senior	Chairman	of	Deutsche	
Bank	Securities	Inc.,	and	a	person	
of	great	intellect	and	judgment.	

3.	Our	management	is	exceptional.	
Trevor	Bond,	who	was	elected	
CEO	in	2010,	is	not	only	highly	
capable	but	also	a	natural	leader—
a	person	who	is	easy	to	follow	and	
hard	not	to	like.	Trevor,	with	both	
his	experience	before	joining	us	
and	his	tenure	on	the	Board	of	our	
managed	programs	and	on	the	
Investment	Committee,	is	a	bright,	
energetic	and	dedicated	leader	for	
our	firm.	I	am	thrilled	to	have	him	
at	the	helm.

4.	I	learned	long	ago	that	no	one	
can	excel	at	everything,	and	I	
resolved	to	surround	myself	with	
people	who	are	smarter	than	I.	
As	a	result,	we	have	an	extraor-
dinarily	talented	team.	We	are	
committed	to	making	our	com-
pany	a	place	where	great	people	
want	to	stay	and	to	constantly	
recruiting	new	talent	to	keep		
our	bench	deep	and	all	of	us	on	
our	toes.

Financial	analysts	have	told	me	
that	in	evaluations	of	our	com-
pany,	their	biggest	challenge	is	
finding	comparable	organiza-
tions—in	fact	we	are	unique.	No	
other	company	has	the	same	busi-
ness	mix	or	approach.	In	the	truest	
sense,	our	competition	is	any	orga-
nization	that	supplies	capital	or	
provides	investment	opportunities.	
These	providers	offer	a	very	broad	
spectrum	of	choice.	And	choice	is	
good	for	the	economy	and	good	
for	the	client.	At	W.	P.	Carey,	we	
recognize	we	must	work	to	earn	
the	loyalty	of	our	tenants—some	

of	them	among	the	world’s	largest	
companies—by	demonstrating	
that	we	excel	at	what	we	do,	we	are	
there	for	them	in	all	kinds	of	eco-
nomic	conditions,	and	we	engage	
only	in	deals	that	we	believe	to	be	
in	their	best	interests.	

We	are	committed	to	making	our	
nation	and	the	global	economy	
stronger.	By	its	nature,	our	work	
promotes	jobs	and	prosperity.	The	
primary	purpose	of	sale-leaseback	
financing	is	to	provide	companies	
more	capital	to	invest	in	growing	
their	own	businesses,	performing	
R&D	to	facilitate	future	growth,	
and	delivering	improved	returns	
to	their	shareholders.	

In	my	own	personal	investing,	I	
look	for	opportunities	that	provide	
steady	income	through	good	times	
and	bad,	safety,	growth	potential	
and	inflation	protection.	We	strive	
to	achieve	those	same	characteris-
tics	at	W.	P.	Carey,	and	I	hope	you	
will	agree	our	success	record	is	
both	long	and	strong.

Three	mottoes	govern	my	outlook	
and	my	actions,	and	they	have	
served	me	well.	I	hope	you	find	
they	serve	you,	the	shareholders		
of	W.	P.	Carey,	equally	well.

Investing for the Long Run. 
Doing Good While Doing Well. 
Faites l’amour, pas la guerre.

That	last	one	is	the	most	recent	
addition,	and	it	applies	as	much	to	
my	business	view	as	to	my	world-
view.	Quite	simply,	I	am	in	love	
with	our	investors.	I	care	deeply	
about	all	of	our	stakeholders—	
our	lessees,	our	employees,		
our	Board—but	first,	always	first,	
come	the	investors.

Affectionately,	

Wm.	Polk	Carey	
Chairman

firm,	sale-leaseback	pioneer,	investment	
manager.	We	are	also	financier,	capital

of	three	primary	elements:	our	access	to	
capital,	our	investment	strategy	and	our

Since	1979,	W.	P.	Carey	has		
focused	on	creating	a	series	of	
investment	products	that	work		
in	good	times	and	bad.	Our	risk-
management-driven	investment	
philosophy	combined	with	our		
commitment	to	Investing for 

the Long Run,	has	undoubtedly	
contributed	to	the	success	of	our	
managed	funds,	the	CPA®	pro-
grams.	And	it	is	the	performance	of	
these	investment	programs	that	has	
enabled	us	to	continue	accessing	
capital	over	nearly	four	decades.

Cumulative Equity Raised
We use this capital to provide sale-
leaseback and build-to-suit financing 
for companies and private equity 
firms around the globe.

2 Investment Strategy

The	investments	W.	P.	Carey	makes	
on	behalf	of	the	CPA®	REITs	are	
the	lifeblood	of	our	business.	
We	think	of	ourselves	as	a	capital	
provider	for	companies,	and	
often,	the	capital	we	provide	for	
our	tenants	in	exchange	for	their	
real	estate	assets	is	a	vital	part	of	
their	long-term	business	plans.	
Whether	used	for	research	and	
development,	to	make	a	company	
acquisition,	to	recapitalize	their	
balance	sheet,	or	to	upgrade		
their	machinery,	our	investment		
team	develops	a	customized	sale-
leaseback	transaction	for	each	and	
every	tenant.	We	grow	as	we	help	
our	tenants	grow.

1 Access to Capital
4

Our business starts with raising funds. Over the 
past few years, we have increased our investor base  
substantially by expanding the broker/dealer 
network through which we offer our investments. 
We now have relationships with more than 
65 broker/dealer firms, and no firm can claim 
more than 50% of sales of our most recent CPA® 
program, CPA®:17 – Global. Just as we look to 
diversify our CPA® portfolios, we are diversifying 
our capital-raising potential. 

2010 was a record fundraising year for W. P. Carey, 
as we raised more than $590 million of the  
$1.5 billion of equity raised in CPA®:17 – Global’s 
initial offering. We look forward to continuing this 
trend with CPA®:17 – Global’s follow-on offering, 
as well as raising funds for our lodging-focused 
offering, Carey Watermark Investors.

As we raise capital, we seek to invest that capital in 
the real estate assets of solid, growing companies.  
Our team underwrites each transaction thoroughly, 
evaluating the creditworthiness of the tenant, the 
criticality of the asset, the fundamental underlying 
value of the real estate, and the transaction’s 
structure and pricing. Our independent Investment 
Committee then has the final say on whether we 
move ahead with the investment.

In 2010, we completed approximately $1.1 billion 
of net-leased investments with properties in seven 
countries. Let’s take a walk through a few of our 
recent investments: 

C1000
Location: Six properties across the netherlands
Property Type: Logistics
Acquisition Date: January 2011
Space: 2 million square feet

C1000 is a leading dutch supermarket company with consumer 
sales of €3.7 billion in 2010. Founded in 1888, its owned and 
franchised retail network consists of 375 supermarkets employ-
ing more than 30,000 people. The W. P. Carey Group acquired a 
portfolio of six logistics properties from C1000 for $207 million; 
these properties represent C1000’s complete distribution net-
work and supply all of its supermarket stores in the country.

Berry Plastics Corporation 
Location: evansville, In
Property Type: Headquarters expansion
Acquisition Date: march 2010
Space: 262,000 square feet

berry Plastics Corporation is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and 
suppliers of a diverse mix of plastic packaging products, including open top 
containers, closures, aerosol overcaps, drink cups, prescription vials, flexible 
packaging, tapes and specialty coated products. berry Plastics sells a broad 
range of products to over 13,000 customers, including mcdonald’s, Procter & 
Gamble, Hershey, Coca-Cola, Wal-mart and bayer as well as smaller specialty 
businesses. Our $28.7 million acquisition of berry’s headquarters expansion 
was the W. P. Carey Group’s fourth transaction with berry Plastics. 

3 Angelica Corporation

Locations: 14 properties throughout the U.S.
Property Type: Light industrial
Acquisition Date: march 2010
Space: 809,000 square feet

Angelica Corporation is a leading provider of textile rental and linen management services to the U.S. healthcare 
market. Angelica provides laundry and linen management services to hospitals, long term care facilities, and  
out-patient medical practices from 27 service centers across the nation. Angelica is driving innovation in products 
and services that become a standard of excellence for patient and customer satisfaction.

Distribuidora de Televisión Digital 
Location: madrid, Spain
Property Type: Headquarters and television production space
Acquisition Date: december 2010
Space: 451,000 square feet

distribuidora de Televisión digital (dTS) is the largest provider of digital pay 
television in Spain and a subsidiary of PRISA, the largest media company in 
the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world. The dTS headquarters was 
constructed in 2008 and is a critical asset for PRISA’s pay TV business. The  
W. P. Carey Group completed a $113 million sale-leaseback transaction with 
PRISA as part of the company’s restructuring and debt reduction efforts.

Sun Products Corporation
Location: bowling Green, KY
Property Type: distribution warehouse
Acquisition Date: June 2010
Expected Size: 1.4 million square feet, upon completion

Sun Products Corporation is a leading north American 
provider of laundry detergents, fabric softeners and 
other household products under such brands as all®, 
Snuggle®, Sun®, Wisk®, Surf®, and Sunlight®. Sun Products 
was looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency by 
consolidating nine smaller distribution facilities. The 
W. P. Carey Group provided $43 million in build-to-suit 
financing for Sun Products’ new and larger distribution 
center—one of two facilities serving the east Coast—and 
secured a solid long-term tenant and asset critical to 
Sun Products’ ongoing operations. 
Construction is scheduled for 
completion in the summer of 2011.

In 2010, W. P. Carey’s asset management team 
completed 31 lease renewals or new leases,  
$213 million of refinancings, and $128 million in 
asset sales and maintained a stellar groupwide 
occupancy rate of 97%.

Symphony IRI Group
Location: Chicago, IL
Property Type: Two office buildings
Space: 252,000 square feet
Transaction: Lease restructure and extension

Symphony IRI Group is one of the largest marketing research/
database companies in the world. We completed the initial sale-
leaseback transaction in 1990 with Information Resources, Inc. 
(IRI), prior to its acquisition by Symphony Technology Group.  
The company has continued to grow revenues, but the amount 
of headquarters space it needs has declined.

Our asset management team seeks to meet the evolving needs of  
our tenants, and so we negotiated a situation in which both 
we and Symphony IRI Group benefited. We entered into a new 
10-year lease with Symphony IRI Group for the larger of the two 
buildings and allowed them to vacate the second building early, 
which is now under contract to be sold. The transaction provided 
our tenant a better headquarters solution going forward and 
provided the W. P. Carey Group with a new long-term income 
stream and sufficient lease term to refinance the Symphony IRI–
occupied building.

5 
Google Inc.
Location: Venice, CA
Property: Frank Gehry–designed binoculars building
Property Type: Office
Transaction: Re-lease 

The iconic binoculars building was constructed in 
1991 as the headquarters for advertising agency 
Chiat/day. As our tenant decided not to renew the 
lease when it expired in September 2010, we had to 
find a new tenant for this unique building. Google, 
as the world’s largest search company, was the ideal 
tenant for a landmark building with binoculars for a 
facade. The new long-term lease involves significant 
improvements to the building by landlord and tenant 
in order to create a unique campus environment that 
can support Google’s continued growth in the area. 
Combined with two adjacent buildings, the campus 
will total approximately 100,000 square feet.

dear Fellow Shareholders

Throughout	2010,	volatility	in		
the	global	capital	markets	enabled	
W.	P.	Carey	once	again	to	demon-
strate	how	our	balanced	business	
model	serves	our	investors	and	
shareholders	well	during	periods	
of	uncertainty.	In	a	year	charac-
terized	by	swings	in	sentiment,	
between	fear	and	confidence,		
the	stability	of	our	revenue	
streams	stood	out.	Funds	from	
Operations—as	adjusted	rose		
to	$3.27	per	share,	from	$3.09		
in	2009,	and	we	increased	our	
dividend	again,	which	marked		
40	consecutive	quarters	of		
such	increases.	

Other	2010	highlights	were	as	
follows:	

•	 We	provided	our	shareholders	
with	a	total	annual	return	of	
20.4%.

•	 We	raised	over	$590	million	in	
equity	through	our	broker/dealer		
subsidiary,	Carey	Financial.	

•	 We	made	investments	totaling	
$1.1	billion	on	behalf	of	our	
CPA®	REITS	and	for	our	own	
portfolio.	

•	 We	expanded	our	global	pres-

ence	to	17	countries,	including	
China,	where	we	consummated	
our	first	transaction,	with	
China’s	largest	non-state-owned	
corporation.

•	 We	entered	the	lodging	sector	
through	our	launch	of	Carey	
Watermark	Investors.

W.	P.	Carey	achieved	these	results	
despite—and	in	some	ways	because	
of—the	uncertain	global	market	
conditions.	For	example,	during	the	
course	of	the	year,	real	estate	debt	
markets	segmented	into	two	tiers—
the	have	and	have-not	worlds—in	
a	way	that	was	favorable	to	us.	The	
first	tier	includes	quality	tenants	
and	properties	with	lower	loan-to-
value	ratios,	for	which	there	was	
ample	non-recourse	debt	available.	
Because	much	of	what	we	purchase	
fell	into	this	category,	we	were	
able	to	arrange	attractive	acquisi-
tion	debt	and	to	refinance	existing	
investments	on	improved	terms.	

Such	segmentation	took	place	
in	the	unsecured	debt	markets,	
too.	Larger	companies	that	were	
already	well	capitalized—the	
haves—had	access	to	inexpensive

debt,	but	for	the	have-nots,	a	large	
group	of	smaller	and	medium-size	
corporations,	the	debt	markets	
were	less	accommodating.	As	
a	result,	our	form	of	long-term	
sale-leaseback	financing	became	
all	the	more	attractive	to	the	kinds	
of	companies	we	typically	target,	
i.e.,	those	that	have	established	
products	and	strong	management	
but	lack	capital.

Looking	ahead	to	2011	and	beyond,	
although	we	can’t	guarantee	that	
we	will	continue	investing	at	last	
year’s	pace,	our	outlook	is	optimis-
tic,	and	we	believe	that	a	state	of	
equilibrium	still	exists	between	the	
amount	of	capital	we	are	raising	
and	the	opportunities	we	are	see-
ing.	And	we	strive	to	maintain	this	
equilibrium	to	help	ensure	that	we	
are	putting	our	capital	to	use	for	

only	those	investments	that	are	in	
line	with	our	risk/return	param-
eters.	Having	such	investment	
discipline	is	a	cornerstone	of	our	
philosophy	and	has	enabled	us	to	
weather	past	downturns.	

Since	W.	P.	Carey	pioneered		
sale-leasebacks	in	the	U.S.	in	the	
1970s,	sale-leaseback	financing		
has	been	our	focus	and	our	pri-
mary	source	of	revenues.	Over	the	
past	decade,	we	have	expanded	
globally,	making	us	one	of	the	only	
net	lease	investors	with	significant	
international	experience.	We	have	
investments	in	16	countries	out-
side	the	U.S.	totaling	more	than	
$3	billion.	As	a	result,	we	have	a	
broader	universe	of	opportuni-
ties	from	which	to	select,	because	
we’ve	developed	the	expertise	
necessary	to	source,	execute	and	

manage	such	transactions.	We	will	
continue	to	leverage	this	experi-
ence	by	exploring	new	markets,	
provided	that	they	first	meet	our	
standards	in	terms	of	economic	
and	political	risk.	In	this	area	we	
benefit	greatly	from	having	on		
our	Investment	Committee	a	
Nobel	Prize–winning	economist,	
Dr.	Lawrence	Klein,	as	well	as	
Wharton	Professor	of	Finance		
Dr.	Richard	Marston,	to	advise		
us	on	country	and	currency	risks.	

We	have	also	begun	to	diversify	
our	asset	management	capabilities	
organically—that	is,	based	on	first-
hand	experience	with	new	product	
types	that	has	been	accumulated	
over	a	period	of	time.	Carey	
Watermark	Investors,	our	lodging-
focused	fund,	is	an	example	of	

such	an	initiative.	While	we	are	
known	primarily	as	a	sale-lease-
back	firm,	since	1992	W.	P.	Carey	
has	also	invested	more	than	$350	
million	in	the	lodging	sector.	In	
2008,	we	started	exploring	the	
feasibility	of	combining	our	accu-
mulated	institutional	knowledge	
with	the	direct,	specific	expertise	
of	Watermark	Capital	Partners	to	
create	a	new	investment	program	
dedicated	to	this	space.	After	sev-
eral	years	of	study,	during	which	
we	devoted	considerable	time	and	
effort	to	making	sure	we	had	the	
right	resources	and	controls	in	
place	to	execute	the	business	plan	
effectively,	we	finally	launched	
Carey	Watermark	Investors	in	
2010.	While	we	cannot	predict	
how	significant	a	source	of		
revenue	this	will	be	in	2011,

Our business is centered on our ability to access capital,  
to put that capital to work and to manage our portfolios

These	growth	initiatives—whether

President James K. Polk, who oversaw the opening of 
the Smithsonian Institution and was committed to the 
idea of education for all. And it is true for me. Through 
the W. P. Carey Foundation, we have made top-tier 
business education possible for those who attend the 
Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University and  
the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State  
University, including its EMBA program in Shanghai, 
the most highly prized business degree in China.  
We recently endowed the Francis King Carey School  
of Law at the University of Maryland and are proud to 
have provided critical support for many other colleges 
and universities, as well as elementary and secondary  
schools around the country. As in our business dealings,  
the Foundation is committed to stimulating prosperity 
and jobs, and additionally to preparing young people  
to perform those jobs.”  
—Wm.	Polk	Carey

W.	P.	Carey	promotes	Mr.	Carey’s	philosophy	of	
Doing	Good	While	Doing	Well,	and	the	W.	P.	Carey	
Foundation	supports	all	employee	philanthropy	with	
a	100%	matching	program.	Here	is	a	snapshot	of	how	
our	employees	are	Doing	Good	While	Doing	Well:

•	 Lease	Administration	Associate	Tim	Goodwin	was	
instrumental	in	organizing	company-wide	coat	
donations	for	the	22nd	Annual	New	York	Cares	
Coat	Drive.	Tim	not	only	collected	100+	coats	from	
employees,	friends	and	family	and	brought	them	
to	the	New	York	Cares	Centers	but	also	organized	

a	team	of	friends	to	volunteer	to	sort	coats	after	
hours.	New	York	Cares	was	founded	by	a	group	of	
friends	in	1987	who	wanted	to	take	action	against	
social	issues	in	New	York	City.	Today,	it	is	New	York	
City’s	largest	volunteer	organization.

•	 Becky	Reaves,	Senior	Vice	President,	Marketing	
and	Investor	Relations,	and	her	family	walked	
together	for	the	Pancreatic	Cancer	Research	Walk	
in	Paramus,	NJ,	in	honor	of	Becky’s	stepmother,	
Margaret	Myrto,	who	had	recently	lost	her	battle	
with	pancreatic	cancer.	Becky	raised	significant	
funds,	all	of	which	went	to	support	the	Lustgarten	
Foundation,	whose	mission	is	to	advance	scientific	
and	medical	research	related	to	the	diagnosis,	treat-
ment,	cure	and	prevention	of	pancreatic	cancer.	

•	 Victoria	Atwater	in	Office	Services	organized		

a	community	outreach,	holiday-focused	concert	
with	two	fellow	professional	opera	singers		
(including	her	husband)	to	fundraise	for	their	
children’s	school.	Weekday	Nursery	School		
benefited	greatly	from	the	concert	fundraiser,	
which	featured	opera	and	Broadway	selections	
along	with	holiday	seasonal	favorites	and	even	
included	a	sing-along.	The	nursery	school	is	a	
non-sectarian	outreach	program	of	South	Orange,	
New	Jersey’s	First	Presbyterian	&	Trinity	Church	
and	has	been	operating	for	over	50	years.	

•	 John	Miller,	Chief	Investment	Officer,	donates		
his	time	and	resources	by	serving	on	the	board		
of	the	Temple	of	Understanding.	Founded	in		
1960,	the	Temple	of	Understanding	has	been		
educating	youth	and	adults	both	cross-culturally	
and	interreligiously	for	global	citizenship	and	
peaceful	coexistence.	The	organization	advocates	
acceptance,	respect	for	religious	pluralism	by	the	
world’s	governing	bodies	and	actively	promotes	
justice	and	tolerance.

Item 1.

  Business.

(a) General Development of Business  

Overview:  

W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (“W. P. Carey” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, “we”, “us” or “our”) 
provides long-term 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-actively traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), which are sponsored 
by us under the Corporate Property Associates brand name (the “CPA® REITs”) and that invest in similar properties. We are currently 
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”).  

We are also the advisor to Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated (“Carey Watermark”), which we formed in March 2008 for the 
purpose of acquiring interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. A registration statement to sell up to $1.0 billion of common 
stock of Carey Watermark was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in September 2010. We 
are currently fundraising for Carey Watermark, however Carey Watermark has had no investments or significant operating activity as 
of the date of this Report.  

Most of our properties were either acquired as a result of our consolidation with certain affiliated Corporate Property Associates 
limited partnerships or subsequently acquired from other CPA® REIT programs in connection with the provision of liquidity to 
shareholders of those REITs, as further described below. Because our advisory agreements with each of the existing CPA® REITs 
require that we use our best efforts to present to them a continuing and suitable program of investment opportunities that meet their 
investment criteria, we generally provide investment opportunities to these funds first and earn revenues from transaction and asset 
management services performed on their behalf. Our principal focus on our owned real estate portfolio in recent years has therefore 
been on enhancing the value of our existing properties.  

Under the advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, we manage the CPA® REITs’ portfolios of real estate investments, for which 
we earn asset-based management and performance revenue, and we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement 
transactions for them, for which we earn structuring revenue. We also receive a percentage of distributions of available cash from 
CPA®:17 — Global’s operating partnership. In addition, we earn incentive and disposition revenue and receive other compensation in 
connection with providing liquidity alternatives to CPA® REIT shareholders. The CPA® REITs also reimburse us for certain costs, 
primarily broker-dealer commissions paid on their behalf and marketing and personnel costs. As a result of electing to receive certain 
payments for services in shares, we also hold ownership interests in the CPA® REITs.  

We were formed as a limited liability company under the laws of Delaware on July 15, 1996. We commenced operations on 
January 1, 1998 by combining the limited partnership interests of nine CPA® partnerships, at which time we listed on the New York 
Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.” As a limited liability company, we are not subject to federal income taxation as long as we 
satisfy certain requirements relating to our operations and pass through any tax liabilities or benefits to our shareholders; however, 
certain of our subsidiaries are engaged in investment management operations and are subject to United States (“U.S.”) federal, state 
and local income taxes, and some of our subsidiaries may also be subject to foreign taxes.  

Our principal executive offices are located at 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020, and our telephone number is (212) 492-
1100. At December 31, 2010, we employed 170 individuals through our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  

Significant Developments during 2010 include:  

Acquisition Activity — During 2010, we structured investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs totaling $1.0 billion and entered into 
several investments for our owned real estate portfolio totaling $76.8 million. International investments comprised 43% of these 
investments. Amounts are based on the exchange rate of the foreign currency at the date of acquisition, as applicable.  

Fundraising Activities — Since beginning fundraising for CPA®:17 — Global in December 2007, we have raised more than 
$1.4 billion on its behalf through the date of this Report. Included in this amount is $593.1 million that we raised during 2010 and 
$84.8 million that we have raised so far in 2011 through the date of this Report. We earn a wholesaling fee of up to $0.15 per share 
sold, which we use, along with any retained portion of selected dealer revenue, to cover underwriting costs incurred in connection 
with CPA®:17 — Global’s offering and are reimbursed for marketing and personnel costs incurred in raising capital on behalf of 
CPA®:17 — Global, subject to certain limitations.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 2

                                   
   
CPA®:17 — Global has filed a registration statement with the SEC for a possible continuous public offering of up to an additional 
$1.0 billion of common stock, which we currently expect will commence after the initial public offering terminates. We refer to the 
possible public offering as the “follow-on offering.” There can be no assurance that CPA®:17 — Global will actually commence the 
follow-on offering or successfully sell the full number of shares registered. The initial public offering for CPA®:17 — Global will 
terminate on the earlier of the date on which the registration statement for the follow-on offering becomes effective or May 2, 2011.  

Financing Activity — During 2010, we obtained mortgage financing totaling $626.1 million on behalf of the CPA® REITs and 
$70.3 million for our owned real estate portfolio, including financing for new transactions and refinancing of maturing debt. Amounts 
are based on the exchange rate of the foreign currency at the date of financing, as applicable.  

Impairment Charges — During 2010, we recorded impairment charges on our owned portfolio totaling $15.4 million. We currently 
estimate that the CPA® REITs will record impairment charges aggregating approximately $40.7 million of which our proportionate 
share is $3.0 million for 2010. Our cash distributions from the CPA® REITs are not affected by the impairment charges recognized by 
them.  

Proposed Merger of Affiliates — On December 13, 2010, two of the CPA® REITs we manage, CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global, 
entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which CPA®:14 will merge with and into a subsidiary of CPA®:16 — Global, subject 
to the approval of the shareholders of CPA®:14 (the “Proposed Merger”). In connection with this Proposed Merger, CPA®:16 — 
Global filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has not been declared effective by the SEC as of the date of this Report. 
Special shareholder meetings for both CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global are currently expected to be scheduled during the first half of 
2011 to obtain CPA®:14 shareholder approval of the Proposed Merger and the alternate merger described below, and CPA®:16 — 
Global shareholder approval of the alternate merger, the UPREIT reorganization described below, and a charter amendment to 
increase the number of authorized shares of CPA®:16 — Global in order to ensure that it will have sufficient shares to issue in the 
Proposed Merger. The alternate merger is intended to provide an alternate tax-efficient transaction if the amount of cash to be received 
by CPA®:14 shareholders in the Proposed Merger could cause the Proposed Merger to be a taxable transaction. The closing of the 
Proposed Merger is also subject to customary closing conditions, as well as the closing of the CPA®:14 asset sales described below. If 
the Proposed Merger is approved, we currently expect that the closing will occur in the second quarter of 2011, although there can be 
no assurance of such timing.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, we have agreed to purchase three properties from CPA®:14, in which we already have a joint 
venture interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $32.1 million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness. 
These properties all have remaining lease terms of less than 8 years, which are shorter than the average lease term of CPA®:16 — 
Global’s portfolio of properties. Consequently, CPA®:16 — Global required that these assets be sold by CPA®:14 prior to the 
Proposed Merger. This asset sale to us and the sale of three other properties to another affiliate, CPA®:17 — Global (the “CPA®:14 
Asset Sales”), are contingent upon the approval of the Proposed Merger by the shareholders of CPA®:14.  

If the Proposed Merger is consummated, we expect to earn 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. In addition, based on our ownership of 
8,018,456 shares of CPA®:14 at December 31, 2010, we expect to receive approximately $8.0 million as a result of a special $1.00 
cash distribution to be paid by CPA®:14 to its shareholders, in part from the proceeds of the CPA®:14 Asset Sales, immediately prior 
to the Proposed Merger, as described below. We have agreed to elect to receive stock of CPA®:16 — Global in respect of our shares 
of CPA®:14 if the Proposed Merger is consummated. Carey Asset Management (“CAM”), our subsidiary that acts as the advisor to the 
CPA® REITs, has also agreed to waive any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:16 — Global under its advisory agreement with CAM 
in respect of the properties being acquired in the Proposed Merger and has also agreed to waive any disposition fees that may 
subsequently be payable by CPA®:16 — Global upon a sale of such assets.  

In the Proposed Merger, CPA®:14 shareholders will be entitled to receive $11.50 per share, the "Merger Consideration," which is 
equal to the estimated net asset value ("NAV") of CPA®:14 as of September 30, 2010. The Merger Consideration will be paid to 
shareholders of CPA®:14, at their election, in either cash or a combination of the $1.00 per share special cash distribution and 1.1932 
shares of CPA®:16 - Global common stock, which equates to $10.50 based on the $8.80 per share NAV of CPA®:16 - Global as of 
September 30, 2010. We computed these NAVs internally, relying in part upon a third-party valuation of each company’s real estate 
portfolio and indebtedness as of September 30, 2010. The board of directors of each of CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:14 have the 
ability, but not the obligation, to terminate the transaction if more than 50% of the shareholders of CPA®:14 elect to receive cash in 
the Proposed Merger. Assuming that holders of 50% of CPA®:14’s outstanding stock elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger, 
then the maximum cash required by CPA®:16 — Global to purchase these shares would be approximately $416.1 million, based on 
the total shares of CPA®:14 outstanding at December 31, 2010. 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 $300.0 million senior credit facility of CPA®:16 — Global, is not 
sufficient to enable CPA®:16 — Global to fulfill cash elections in the Proposed Merger by CPA®:14 shareholders, we have agreed to 
purchase a sufficient number of shares of CPA®:16 — Global stock from CPA®:16 — Global to enable it to pay such amounts to 
CPA®:14 shareholders.

We currently expect to receive our $31.2 million termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which will then be exchanged at our election 
into shares of CPA®:16 — Global in order to facilitate this transaction. In addition, we currently expect to use the special $1.00 per 
share cash distribution received from our ownership of CPA®:14 shares, the post-tax proceeds from the disposition revenues, cash on 
hand, and amounts available under our line of credit to finance our potential obligations in connection with the Proposed Merger and 
the CPA®:14 Asset Sales, as necessary.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, CPA®:16 — Global proposes to implement an UPREIT reorganization. The proposed 
UPREIT reorganization is an internal reorganization of CPA®:16 — Global into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, 
known as an UPREIT, to hold substantially all of its assets in an operating partnership, which is how CPA®:17 — Global is currently 
structured. While the asset management fees to be paid by CPA®:16 — Global to CAM are expected to decline as a result of the 
UPREIT reorganization, the pre-tax fees will be paid in a more tax-efficient manner and will result in a higher level of after-tax cash 
flow received by CAM.  

(b) Financial Information About Segments  

Refer to Note 18 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for financial information about segments.  

(c) Narrative Description of Business  

Business Objectives and Strategy  

We have two primary business segments, investment management and real estate ownership. These segments are each described 
below. Our objective is to increase shareholder value and earnings through expansion of our investment management operations and 
prudent management of our owned real estate assets.  

Investment Management  

We earn revenue as the advisor to the CPA® REITs. Under the advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, we perform various 
services, including but not limited to the day-to-day management of the CPA® REITs and transaction-related services. The advisory 
agreements allow us to elect to receive restricted stock for any revenue due from a CPA® REIT.  

Because of limitations on the amount of non-real estate-related income that may be earned by a limited liability company that is taxed 
as a publicly traded partnership, our investment management operations are currently conducted primarily through taxable 
subsidiaries.  

From time to time, we explore alternatives for expanding our investment management operations beyond advising the CPA® REITs. 
Any such expansion could involve the purchase of properties or other investments as principal, either for our owned portfolio or with 
the intention of transferring such investments to a newly-created fund, as well as the sponsorship of one or more funds to make 
investments other than primarily net lease investments.  

Asset Management Revenue  

Under the terms of the advisory agreements for CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global, 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 CPA®:17 — 
Global, we do not earn performance revenue, but we receive up to 10% of distributions of available cash from its operating 
partnership. If CPA®:16 — Global’s UPREIT reorganization is approved, we will no longer earn performance revenue from CPA®:16 
— Global but will instead receive up to 10% of distributions of available cash from its newly-formed operating partnership. We seek 
to increase our asset management revenue and performance revenue by increasing real estate-related assets under management, both 
as the CPA® REITs make new investments and from organizing new investment entities. Such revenue may also increase, or decrease, 
based on changes in the appraised value of the real estate assets of the individual CPA® REITs. Assets under management, and the 
resulting revenue earned by us, may also decrease if investments are disposed of, either individually or in connection with the 
liquidation of a CPA® REIT.

Structuring Revenue  

Under the terms of the advisory agreements, we earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments for the CPA®
REITs, which we call acquisition revenue. Under each of the advisory agreements, 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 to us 
when the transaction is completed, while the remainder (generally 2%) is payable to us in equal annual installments ranging from three 
to eight years, provided the relevant CPA® REIT meets its performance criterion. 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 CPA® REIT board approval, to loan refinancing revenue of up 
to 1% of the principal amount refinanced in connection with structuring and negotiating investments. This loan refinancing revenue, 
together with the acquisition revenue, is referred to as structuring revenue.  

Other Revenue  

We may also earn revenue related to the disposition of properties, subject to subordination provisions, which will only be recognized 
as the relevant conditions are met. Such revenue may include subordinated disposition revenue of no more than 3% of the value of any 
assets sold, payable only after shareholders have received back their initial investment plus a specified preferred return, and 
subordinated incentive revenue of 15% of the net cash proceeds distributable to shareholders from the disposition of properties, after 
recoupment by shareholders of their initial investment plus a specified preferred return. We may also, in connection with the 
termination of the advisory agreements for CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global, be entitled to a termination payment based 
on the amount by which the fair value of a CPA® REITs’ properties, less indebtedness, exceeds investors’ capital plus a specified 
preferred return. CPA®:17 — Global and, if the UPREIT reorganization is approved by CPA®:16 — Global’s shareholders, CPA®:16 
— Global, will have the right, but not the obligation, upon certain terminations to repurchase our interests in their operating 
partnerships at fair market value. We will not receive a termination payment in circumstances where we receive subordinated 
incentive revenue.  

In past years, we have earned substantial disposition and incentive or termination revenue in connection with providing liquidity to 
CPA® REIT shareholders. In general, we begin evaluating liquidity alternatives for CPA® REIT shareholders about eight years after a 
CPA® REIT has substantially invested the net proceeds received in its initial public offering. These liquidity alternatives may include 
listing the CPA® REITs shares on a national securities exchange, selling the assets of the CPA® REIT or merging the affected CPA® 
REIT with another entity, which could include another CPA® REIT. However, the timing of liquidity events depends on market 
conditions and may also depend on other factors, including approval of the proposed course of action by the independent directors, 
and in some instances the shareholders, of the affected CPA® REIT, and may occur well after the eighth anniversary of the date that 
the net proceeds of an offering have been substantially invested. Because of these factors, CPA® REIT liquidity events have not 
typically taken place every year. In consequence, given the relatively substantial amounts of disposition revenue, as compared with the 
ongoing revenue earned from asset management and structuring investments, income from this business segment may be significantly 
higher in those years where a liquidity event takes place. If the Proposed Merger between CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global is 
approved by the shareholders and the other closing conditions are satisfied, we currently expect that the transaction will be completed 
in the second quarter of 2011, although there can be no assurance of such timing.  

The CPA® REITs reimburse us for certain costs, primarily broker-dealer commissions paid on behalf of the CPA® REITs and 
marketing and personnel costs. The CPA® REITs also reimburse us for many of our costs associated with the evaluation of 
transactions on their behalf that are not completed. Marketing and personnel costs are apportioned based on the assets of each entity. 
These reimbursements may be substantial. These reimbursements, together with asset management revenue payable by a specific 
CPA® REIT, may be subject to deferral or reduction if they exceed a specified percentage of that CPA® REITs income or invested 
assets. We also earn a wholesaling fee from CPA®:17 — Global of up to $0.15 per share sold, which we use, along with any retained 
portion of the selected dealer revenue, to cover other underwriting costs incurred in connection with CPA®:17 — Global’s offering.  

Effective September 15, 2010, we entered into an advisory agreement with Carey Watermark to perform certain services, including 
managing Carey Watermark’s offering and its overall business, identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of 
lodging-related properties and the performance of certain administrative duties. We are currently fundraising for Carey Watermark; 
however, as of December 31, 2010, Carey Watermark had no investments or significant operating activity. Costs incurred on behalf of 
Carey Watermark totaled $3.4 million through December 31, 2010. We anticipate being reimbursed for all or a portion of these costs 
in accordance with the terms of the advisory agreement if the minimum offering proceeds are raised.  

Equity Investments in CPA® REITs 

As discussed above, we may elect to receive certain of our revenues from the CPA® REITs in restricted shares of those entities. At 
December 31, 2010, we owned 9.2% of the outstanding shares of CPA®:14, 7.1% of the outstanding shares of CPA®:15, 5.6% of the 
outstanding shares of CPA®:16 — Global and 0.6% of the outstanding shares of CPA®:17 — Global.

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 
single-tenant, triple-net leased basis. While our acquisition of new properties is constrained by our obligation to provide a continuing 
and suitable investment program to the CPA® REITs, we seek to maximize the value of our existing portfolio through prudent 
management of our real estate assets, which may involve follow-on transactions, dispositions and favorable lease modifications, as 
well as refinancing of existing debt. In connection with providing liquidity alternatives to CPA® REIT shareholders, we may acquire 
additional properties from the liquidating CPA® REIT, as we did during 2006 and plan to do in 2011 with the CPA®:14 Asset Sales in 
connection with the Proposed Merger of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global. We have also acquired properties and interests in 
properties through tax-free exchanges and as part of joint ventures with the CPA® REITs. We may also, in the future, seek to increase 
our portfolio by making investments, including non-net lease investments and investments in emerging markets, that may not meet the 
investment criteria of the CPA® REITs, particularly investments that are not current-income oriented. See Our Portfolio below for an 
analysis of our portfolio at December 31, 2010.  

No tenant at any of our consolidated investments represented more than 10% of our total lease revenues from our real estate 
ownership during 2010.  

The Investment Strategies, Financing Strategies, Asset Management, Competition and Environmental Matters sections described 
below pertain to both our investment management and real estate ownership segments.  

Investment Strategies  

The following description of our investment process applies to investments we make on behalf of the CPA® REITs. In general, we 
would expect to follow a similar process in connection with any investments in triple-net lease, single-tenant commercial properties 
we may make directly, but we are not required to do so.  

In analyzing potential investments, we review all aspects of a transaction, including tenant and real estate fundamentals, to determine 
whether a potential investment and lease can be structured to satisfy the CPA® REITs’ investment criteria. In evaluating net lease 
transactions, we generally consider, among other things, the following aspects of each transaction:  

Tenant/Borrower Evaluation — We evaluate each potential tenant or borrower for its creditworthiness, typically considering factors 
such as management experience, industry position and fundamentals, operating history, and capital structure, as well as other factors 
that may be relevant to a particular investment. We seek opportunities in which we believe the tenant may have a stable or improving 
credit profile or credit potential that has not been recognized by the market. In evaluating a possible investment, the creditworthiness 
of a tenant or borrower often will be a more significant factor than the value of the underlying real estate, particularly if the underlying 
property is specifically suited to the needs of the tenant; however, in certain circumstances where the real estate is attractively valued, 
the creditworthiness of the tenant may be a secondary consideration. Whether a prospective tenant or borrower is creditworthy will be 
determined by our investment department and the investment committee, as described below. Creditworthy does not mean 
“investment grade.”  

Properties Important to Tenant/Borrower Operations — We generally will focus on properties that we believe are essential or 
important to the ongoing operations of the tenant. We believe that these properties provide better protection generally as well as in the 
event of a bankruptcy, since a tenant/borrower is less likely to risk the loss of a critically important lease or property in a bankruptcy 
proceeding or otherwise.  

Diversification — We attempt to diversify the CPA® REIT portfolios to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, borrower, 
collateral type, geographic location or tenant/borrower industry. By diversifying these portfolios, we seek to reduce the adverse effect 
of a single under-performing investment or a downturn in any particular industry or geographic region. While we have not endeavored 
to maintain any particular standard of diversity in our owned portfolio, we believe that our owned portfolio is reasonably well 
diversified (see Our Portfolio below).  

Lease Terms — Generally, the net leased properties in which the CPA® REITs and we invest will be leased on a full recourse basis to 
the tenants or their affiliates. In addition, we seek to include a clause in each lease that provides for increases in rent over the term of 
the lease. These increases are fixed or tied generally to increases in indices such as the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). In the case of 
retail stores and hotels, the lease may provide for participation in gross revenues of the tenant at the property above a stated level. 
Alternatively, a lease may provide for mandated rental increases on specific dates, and we may adopt other methods in the future.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 6

                                   
   
Collateral Evaluation — We review the physical condition of the property, and conduct a market evaluation to determine the 
likelihood of replacing the rental stream if the tenant defaults or of a sale of the property in such circumstances. We also generally 
engage a third party to conduct, or require the seller to conduct, Phase I or similar environmental site assessments (including a visual 
inspection for the potential presence of asbestos) in an attempt to identify potential environmental liabilities associated with a property 
prior to its acquisition. If potential environmental liabilities are identified, we generally require that identified environmental issues be 
resolved by the seller prior to property acquisition or, where such issues cannot be resolved prior to acquisition, require tenants 
contractually to assume responsibility for resolving identified environmental issues post-closing and provide indemnification 
protections against any potential claims, losses or expenses arising from such matters. Although we generally rely on our own analysis 
in determining whether to make an investment on behalf of the CPA® REITs, each real property to be purchased by them will be 
appraised by an independent appraiser. The contractual purchase price (plus acquisition fees, but excluding acquisition expenses, for 
properties acquired on behalf of the CPA® REITs) for a real property we acquire for ourselves or on behalf of a CPA® REIT will not 
exceed its appraised value. The appraisals may take into consideration, among other things, the terms and conditions of the particular 
lease transaction, the quality of the lessee’s credit and the conditions of the credit markets at the time the lease transaction is 
negotiated. The appraised value may be greater than the construction cost or the replacement cost of a property, and the actual sale 
price of a property if sold may be greater or less than the appraised value. In cases of special purpose real estate, a property is 
examined in light of the prospects for the tenant/borrower’s enterprise and the financial strength and the role of that asset in the 
context of the tenant’s overall viability. Operating results of properties and other collateral may be examined to determine whether or 
not projected income levels are likely to be met. We will also consider factors particular to the laws of foreign countries, in addition to 
the risks normally associated with real property investments, when considering an investment outside the U.S.  

Transaction Provisions to Enhance and Protect Value — We attempt to include provisions in the leases that we believe may help 
protect an investment from changes in the operating and financial characteristics of a tenant that may affect its ability to satisfy its 
obligations to the CPA® REIT or reduce the value of the investment. Such provisions include requiring our consent to specified tenant 
activity, requiring the tenant to provide indemnification protections, and requiring the tenant to satisfy specific operating tests. We 
may also seek to enhance the likelihood of a tenant’s lease obligations being satisfied through a guaranty of obligations from the 
tenant’s corporate parent or other entity or a letter of credit. This credit enhancement, if obtained, provides additional financial 
security. However, in markets where competition for net lease transactions is strong, some or all of these provisions may be difficult to 
negotiate. In addition, in some circumstances, tenants may retain the right to repurchase the property leased by the tenant. The option 
purchase price is generally the greater of the contract purchase price and the fair market value of the property at the time the option is 
exercised.  

Other Equity Enhancements — We may attempt to obtain equity enhancements in connection with transactions. These equity 
enhancements may involve warrants exercisable at a future time to purchase stock of the tenant or borrower or their parent. If warrants 
are obtained, and become exercisable, and if the value of the stock subsequently exceeds the exercise price of the warrant, equity 
enhancements can help achieve the goal of increasing investor returns.  

As other opportunities arise, we may also seek to expand the CPA® REIT portfolios to include other types of real estate-related 
investments, such as:  

•

•

•

•

•

•

  equity investments in real properties that are not long-term net leased to a single-tenant and may include partially leased 
properties, multi-tenanted properties, vacant or undeveloped properties and properties subject to short-term net leases, 
among others;

  mortgage loans secured by commercial real properties;

  subordinated interests in first mortgage real estate loans, or B Notes;

  mezzanine loans related to commercial real estate, which are senior to the borrower’s equity position but subordinated to 

other third-party financing;

  commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS; and

  equity and debt securities (including preferred equity and other higher-yielding structured debt and equity investments) 

issued by companies that are engaged in real-estate-related businesses, including other REITs.

To date, our investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs have not included significant amounts of these types of investments. 

Investment Committee — We have an investment committee that provides services to the CPA® REITs and may provide services to 
us. Our investment department, under the oversight of our chief investment officer, is primarily responsible for evaluating, negotiating 
and structuring potential investment opportunities. Before a property is acquired by a CPA® REIT, the transaction is generally 
reviewed by the investment committee. The investment committee is not directly involved in originating or negotiating potential 
investments but instead functions as a separate and final step in the investment process. We place special emphasis on having 
experienced individuals serve on our investment committee and, subject to limited exceptions, generally do not invest in a transaction 
on behalf of the CPA® REITs unless the investment committee approves it. The investment committee may delegate its authority, 
such as to investment advisory committees with specialized expertise in the particular geographic market, like our Asia Advisory 
Committee for potential investments in China. However, we do not currently expect that the investments delegated to these advisory 
committees will account for a significant portion of the investments we make in the near term.

In addition, the investment committee may at the request of our board of directors or executive committee also review any initial 
investment in which we propose to engage directly, although it is not required to do so. Our board of directors or executive committee 
may also determine that certain investments that may not meet the CPA® REITs’ investment criteria (particularly transactions in 
emerging markets and investments that are not current income oriented) may be acceptable to us. For transactions that meet the 
investment criteria of more than one CPA® REIT, our chief investment officer may allocate the investment to one of the CPA® REITs 
or among two or more of the CPA® REITs. In cases where two or more CPA® REITs (or one or more CPA® REITs and us) will hold 
the investment, a majority of the independent directors of each CPA® REIT investing in the property must also approve the 
transaction.  

The following people currently serve on our investment committee:

Self-Storage Investments  

In November 2006, we formed a subsidiary, Carey Storage Management LLC (“Carey Storage”), for the purpose of investing in self-
storage real estate properties and their related businesses within the U.S. In January 2009, Carey Storage completed a transaction 
whereby it received cash proceeds, plus a commitment to invest additional equity, from a third party (the “Investor”) to fund the 
purchase of self-storage assets in the future in exchange for a 60% interest in its self-storage portfolio. During 2010, Carey Storage 
amended its agreement with the Investor to, among other things; remove a contingent purchase option held by Carey Storage to 
repurchase the Investor’s interest in the venture at fair value. Further information about current Carey Storage activity is described in 
Part II, Item 8, Note 4. Net Investments in Properties — Operating Real Estate.

Our Portfolio  

At December 31, 2010, we owned and managed 955 properties domestically and internationally, including our owned portfolio. Our 
portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interest in 164 properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased to 
75 tenants, and totaled approximately 14 million square feet (on a pro rata basis) with an occupancy rate of approximately 89%. Our 
portfolio has the following property and lease characteristics:

Financing Strategies  

Consistent with our investment policies, we use leverage when available on terms we believe are favorable. Substantially all of our 
mortgage loans, as well as those of the CPA® REITs, are non-recourse and bear interest at fixed rates, or have been converted to fixed 
rates through interest rate caps or swap agreements. We may refinance properties or defease a loan when a decline in interest rates 
makes it profitable to prepay an existing mortgage loan, when an existing mortgage loan matures or if an attractive investment 
becomes available and the proceeds from the refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of the refinancing 
may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of the 
refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate. The 
prepayment of loans may require us to pay a yield maintenance premium to the lender in order to pay off a loan prior to its maturity.  

A lender on non-recourse mortgage debt generally has recourse only to the property collateralizing such debt and not to any of our 
other assets, while full recourse financing would give a lender recourse to all of our assets. The use of non-recourse debt, therefore, 
helps us to limit the exposure of all of our assets to any one debt obligation. Lenders may, however, have recourse to our other assets 
in limited circumstances not related to the repayment of the indebtedness, such as under an environmental indemnity or in the case of 
fraud.  

We also have an unsecured line of credit that can be used in connection with refinancing existing debt and making new investments, 
as well as to meet other working capital needs. Our line of credit is discussed in detail in the Cash Resources section of Part II, Item 7.

Some of our financing may require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. We are actively seeking to refinance 
loans that mature within the next several years but believe we have sufficient financing alternatives and/or cash resources to make 
these payments, if necessary. At December 31, 2010, scheduled balloon payments for the next five years are as follows (in thousands):

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Condition — Cash 
Resources.

Asset Management  

We believe that effective management of our assets is essential to maintain and enhance property values. Important aspects of asset 
management include restructuring transactions to meet the evolving needs of current tenants, re-leasing properties, refinancing debt, 
selling properties and knowledge of the bankruptcy process.  

We monitor, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial 
performance of any of our properties. Monitoring involves receiving assurances that each tenant has paid real estate taxes, assessments 
and other expenses relating to the properties it occupies and confirming that appropriate insurance coverage is being maintained by the 
tenant. For international compliance, we often rely on third party asset managers. We review financial statements of tenants and 
undertake regular physical inspections of the condition and maintenance of properties. Additionally, we periodically analyze each 
tenant’s financial condition, the industry in which each tenant operates and each tenant’s relative strength in its industry.  

Competition  

In raising funds for investment by the CPA® REITs and Carey Watermark, we face active competition from other funds with similar 
investment objectives that seek to raise funds from investors through publicly registered, non-traded funds, publicly-traded funds and 
private funds, such as hedge funds. In addition, we face broad competition from other forms of investment. Currently, we raise 
substantially all of our funds for investment in the CPA® REITs and Carey Watermark within the U.S.; however, in the future we may 
seek to raise funds for investment from outside the U.S.  

We face active competition from many sources for investment opportunities in commercial properties net leased to major corporations 
both domestically and internationally. In general, we believe that our management’s experience in real estate, credit underwriting and 
transaction structuring should allow us to compete effectively for commercial properties. However, competitors may be willing to 
accept rates of return, lease terms, other transaction terms or levels of risk that we may find unacceptable.  

Environmental Matters  

We and the CPA® REITs have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in properties currently or historically used as industrial, 
manufacturing and commercial properties. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, current and 
former owners and operators of property may have liability for the cost of investigating, cleaning-up or disposing of hazardous 
materials released at, on, under, in or from the property. These laws typically impose responsibility and liability without regard to 
whether the owner or operator knew of or was responsible for the presence of hazardous materials or contamination, and liability 
under these laws is often joint and several. Third parties may also make claims against owners or operators of properties for personal 
injuries and property damage associated with releases of hazardous materials. As part of our efforts to mitigate these risks, we 
typically engage third parties to perform assessments of potential environmental risks when evaluating a new acquisition of property 
and we frequently obtain contractual protection (indemnities, cash reserves, letters of credit or other instruments) from property 
sellers, tenants, a tenant’s parent company or another third party to address known or potential environmental issues.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions at the current rate could be materially adversely 
affected by various risks and uncertainties, including the conditions below. These risk factors may have affected, and in the future 
could affect, our actual operating and financial results and could cause such results to differ materially from those in any forward-
looking statements. You should not consider this list exhaustive. New risk factors emerge periodically, and we cannot assure you that 
the factors described below list all material risks to us at any later time.  

The recent financial and economic crisis adversely affected our business, and the continued uncertainty in the global economic 
environment may adversely affect our business in the future.  

Although we have seen signs of modest improvement in the global economy following the significant distress in 2008 and 2009, the 
economic recovery remains weak, and our business in still dependent on the speed and strength of that recovery, which cannot be 
predicted at the present time. To date, its effects on our business have been somewhat limited, primarily in that a number of tenants, 
particularly in the portfolios of the CPA® REITs, have experienced increased levels of financial distress, with several having filed for 
bankruptcy protection, although our experience in 2010 reflected an improvement from 2008 and 2009.  

Depending on how long and how severe this crisis is, we could in the future experience a number of additional effects on our business, 
including higher levels of default in the payment of rent by our tenants, additional bankruptcies and impairments in the value of our 
property investments, as well as difficulties in refinancing existing loans as they come due. Any of these conditions may negatively 
affect our earnings, as well as our cash flow and, consequently, our ability to sustain the payment of dividends at current levels.  

Our managed funds may also be adversely affected by these conditions, and their earnings or cash flow may also be adversely affected 
by other events, such as increases in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies in which they receive rent, as well as the 
need to expend cash to fund increased redemptions. Additionally, the ability of CPA®:17 — Global to make new investments will be 
affected by the availability of financing as well as its ability to raise new funds. Decreases in the value of the assets held by the CPA® 
REITs will affect the asset management revenues payable to us, as well as the value of the stock we hold in the CPA® REITs, and 
decreases in these funds’ earnings or ability to pay distributions may also affect their ability to make the payments due to us, as well as 
our income and cash flow from CPA® REIT distribution payments.  

Earnings from our investment management operations are subject to volatility.  

Growth in revenue from our investment management operations is dependent in large part on future capital raising in existing or future 
managed entities, as well as on our ability to make investments that meet the investment criteria of these entities, both of which are 
subject to uncertainty, including with respect to capital market and real estate market conditions. This uncertainty creates volatility in 
our earnings because of the resulting fluctuation in transaction-based revenue. Asset management revenue may be affected by factors 
that include not only our ability to increase the CPA® REITs’ portfolio of properties under management, but also changes in valuation 
of those properties, as well as sales of CPA® REIT properties. In addition, revenue from our investment management operations, 
including our ability to earn performance revenue, as well as the value of our holdings of CPA® REIT interests and dividend income 
from those interests, may be significantly affected by the results of operations of the CPA® REITs. Each of the CPA® REITs has 
invested substantially all of its assets (other than short-term investments) in triple-net leased properties substantially similar to those 
we hold, and consequently the results of operations of, and cash available for distribution by, each of the CPA® REITs, is likely to be 
substantially affected by the same market conditions, and subject to the same risk factors, as the properties we own. Four of the 
sixteen CPA® funds temporarily reduced the rate of distributions to their investors as a result of adverse developments involving 
tenants.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 13

                                   
   
Each of the CPA® REITs we currently manage may incur significant debt. This significant debt load could restrict their ability to pay 
revenue owed to us when due, due to either liquidity problems or restrictive covenants contained in their borrowing agreements. In 
addition, the revenue payable under each of our current investment advisory agreements is subject to a variable annual cap based on a 
formula tied to the assets and income of that CPA® REIT. This cap may limit the growth of our management revenue. Furthermore, 
our ability to earn revenue related to the disposition of properties is primarily tied to providing liquidity events for CPA® REIT 
investors. Our ability to provide that liquidity, and to do so under circumstances that will satisfy the applicable subordination 
requirements noted above in Item 1, Business — Other Revenue, will depend on market conditions at the relevant time, which may 
vary considerably over a period of years. In any case, liquidity events typically occur several years apart, and income from our 
investment management operations is likely to be significantly higher in those years in which such events occur. If the Proposed 
Merger between CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global is approved by the shareholders and the other closing conditions are satisfied, we 
currently expect that the transaction will be completed in the second quarter of 2011, although there can be no assurance of such 
timing.  

The revenue streams from the investment advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs are subject to limitation or cancellation. 

The agreements under which we provide investment advisory services may generally be terminated by each CPA® REIT upon 
60 days’ notice, with or without cause. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be terminated. A termination without 
cause may, however, entitle us to termination revenue, equal to 15% of the amount by which the net fair value of the relevant CPA® 
REITs assets exceeds the remaining amount necessary to provide investors with total distributions equal to their investment plus a 
preferred return. For CPA®:17 — Global, and CPA®:16 — Global if the UPREIT reorganization is approved by CPA®:16 — Global’s 
shareholders, they have the right, but not the obligation, upon certain terminations to repurchase our interests in their operating 
partnerships at fair market value. If such right is not exercised, we would remain as a limited partner of the operating partnerships. 
Nonetheless, any such termination could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  

Changes in investor preferences or market conditions could limit our ability to raise funds or make new investments.  

Substantially all of our and the CPA® REITs’ current investments, as well as the majority of the investments we expect to originate for 
the CPA® REITs in the near term, are investments in single-tenant commercial properties that are subject to triple-net leases. In 
addition, we have relied predominantly on raising funds from individual investors through the sale by participating selected dealers to 
their customers of publicly-registered, non-traded securities of the CPA® REITs. Although we have increased the number of broker-
dealers we use for fundraising, historically the majority of our fundraising efforts have been through one major selected dealer. If, as a 
result of changes in market receptivity to investments that are not readily liquid and involve high selected dealer fees, or for other 
reasons, this capital raising method were to become less available as a source of capital, our ability to raise funds for CPA® REIT 
programs and Carey Watermark, and consequently our ability to make investments on their behalf, could be adversely affected. While 
we are not limited to this particular method of raising funds for investment (and, among other things, the CPA® REITs and Carey 
Watermark may themselves be able to borrow additional funds to invest), our experience with other means of raising capital is limited. 
Also, many factors, including changes in tax laws or accounting rules, may make these types of investments less attractive to potential 
sellers and lessees, which could negatively affect our ability to increase the amount of assets of this type under management.  

We face active competition.  

In raising funds for investment by the CPA® REITs and Carey Watermark, we face competition from other funds with similar 
investment objectives that seek to raise funds from investors through publicly registered, non-traded funds, publicly-traded funds and 
private funds. This competition could adversely affect our ability to make acquisitions and to raise funds for future investments, which 
in turn could ultimately reduce, or limit the growth of, revenues from our investment management operations.  

We face active competition for our investments from many sources, including insurance companies, credit companies, pension funds, 
private individuals, financial institutions, finance companies and investment companies, among others. These institutions may accept 
greater risk or lower returns, allowing them to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants. In addition, our evaluation of the 
acceptability of rates of return on behalf of the CPA® REITs is affected by such factors as the cost of raising capital, the amount of 
revenue we can earn and the performance hurdle rates of the relevant CPA® REITs. Thus, the effect of the cost of raising capital and 
the revenue we can earn may be to limit the amount of new investments we make on behalf of the CPA® REITs, which will in turn 
limit the growth of revenues from our investment management operations.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 14

                                   
   
A substantial amount of our leases will expire within the next three years, and we may have difficulty in re-leasing or selling 
our properties if tenants do not renew their leases.  

Within the next three years, approximately 32% of our leases, based on annualized contractual minimum base rent, are due to expire. 
If these leases are not renewed, or if the properties cannot be re-leased on terms that yield payments comparable to those currently 
being received, then our lease revenues could be substantially adversely affected. The terms of any new or renewed leases of these 
properties may depend on market conditions prevailing at the time of lease expiration. In addition, if properties are vacated by the 
current tenants, we may incur substantial costs in attempting to re-lease such properties. We may also seek to sell these properties, in 
which event we may incur losses, depending upon market conditions prevailing at the time of sale.  

Real estate investments generally lack liquidity compared to other financial assets, and this lack of liquidity will limit our ability to 
quickly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Some of our net leases are for properties that are 
specially suited to the particular needs of the tenant. With these properties, we may be required to renovate the property or to make 
rent concessions in order to lease the property to another tenant. In addition, if we are forced to sell the property, we may have 
difficulty selling it to a party other than the tenant due to the special purpose for which the property may have been designed. These 
and other limitations may affect our ability to re-lease or sell properties without adversely affecting returns to shareholders.  

International investments involve additional risks.  

We have invested in and may continue to invest in properties located outside the U.S. These investments may be affected by factors 
particular to the laws of the jurisdiction in which the property is located. These investments may expose us to risks that are different 
from and in addition to those commonly found in the U.S., including:  

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

  Foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar;

  Changing governmental rules and policies;

  Enactment of laws relating to the foreign ownership of property and laws relating to the ability of foreign entities to remove 

invested capital or profits earned from activities within the country to the United States;

  Expropriation;

  Legal systems under which the ability to enforce contractual rights and remedies may be more limited than would be the 

case under U.S. law;

  The difficulty in conforming obligations in other countries and the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign 

laws;

  Adverse market conditions caused by changes in national or local economic or political conditions;

  Tax requirements vary by country and we may be subject to additional taxes as a result of our international investments;

  Changes in relative interest rates;

  Changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying national economic policies;

  Changes in real estate and other tax rates and other operating expenses in particular countries;

  Changes in land use and zoning laws; and

  More stringent environmental laws or changes in such laws.

Also, we may rely on third-party asset managers in international jurisdictions to monitor compliance with legal requirements and 
lending agreements with respect to properties we own or manage on behalf of the CPA® REITs. Failure to comply with applicable 
requirements may expose us or our operating subsidiaries to additional liabilities.

Our portfolio growth is constrained by our obligations to offer property transactions to the CPA® REITs. 

Under our investment advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, we are required to use our best efforts to present a continuing and 
suitable investment program to them. In recent years, new property investment opportunities have generally been made available by us 
to the CPA® REITs. While the allocation of new investments to the CPA® REITs fulfills our duty to present a continuing and suitable 
investment program and enhances the revenues from our investment management operations, it also restricts the potential growth of 
revenues from our real estate ownership and our ability to diversify our portfolio.  

We may recognize substantial impairment charges on our properties.  

Historically, we have incurred substantial impairment charges, which we are required to recognize whenever we sell a property for 
less than its carrying value or we determine that the carrying amount of the property is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value (or, 
for direct financing leases, that the unguaranteed residual value of the underlying property has declined). By their nature, the timing or 
extent of impairment charges are not predictable. We may incur impairment charges in the future, which may reduce our net income, 
although it will not necessarily affect our cash flow from operations.  

Our use of debt to finance investments could adversely affect our cash flow.  

Most of our investments are made by borrowing a portion of the total investment and securing the loan with a mortgage on the 
property. If we are unable to make our debt payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the property or properties securing its 
debt. This could cause us to lose part or all of our investment, which in turn could cause the value of our portfolio, and revenues 
available for distribution to our shareholders, to be reduced. We generally borrow on a non-recourse basis to limit our exposure on any 
property to the amount of equity invested in the property.  

Some of our financing may also require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make balloon 
payments on debt will depend upon our ability either to refinance the obligation when due, invest additional equity in the property or 
to sell the related property. When the balloon payment is due, we may be unable to refinance the balloon payment on terms as 
favorable as the original loan or sell the property at a price sufficient to make the balloon payment. Our ability to accomplish these 
goals will be affected by various factors existing at the relevant time, such as the state of the national and regional economies, local 
real estate conditions, available mortgage rates, our equity in the mortgaged properties, our financial condition, the operating history 
of the mortgaged properties and tax laws. A refinancing or sale could affect the rate of return to shareholders.  

Our leases may permit tenants to purchase a property at a predetermined price, which could limit our realization of any 
appreciation or result in a loss.  

In some circumstances, we grant tenants a right to repurchase the property they lease from us. The purchase price may be a fixed price 
or it may be based on a formula or the market value at the time of exercise. If a tenant exercises its right to purchase the property and 
the property’s market value has increased beyond that price, we could be limited in fully realizing the appreciation on that property. 
Additionally, if the price at which the tenant can purchase the property is less than our purchase price or carrying value (for example, 
where the purchase price is based on an appraised value), we may incur a loss.  

We do not fully control the management of our properties.  

The tenants or managers of net leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. 
If a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred 
maintenance expenditures or other liabilities once the property becomes free of the lease. While our leases generally provide for 
recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance and it 
may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant. In addition, to the extent tenants are unable to conduct their operation 
of the property on a financially successful basis, their ability to pay rent may be adversely affected. Although we endeavor to monitor, 
on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial performance of 
our properties, such monitoring may not in all circumstances ascertain or forestall deterioration either in the condition of a property or 
the financial circumstances of a tenant.

The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuation.  

We are subject to all of the general risks associated with the ownership of real estate. While the revenues from our leases and those of 
the CPA® REITs are not directly dependent upon the value of the real estate owned, significant declines in real estate values could 
adversely affect us in many ways, including a decline in the residual values of properties at lease expiration; possible lease 
abandonments by tenants; a decline in the attractiveness of REIT investments that may impede our ability to raise new funds for 
investment by CPA® REITs and a decline in the attractiveness of triple-net lease transactions to potential sellers. We also face the risk 
that lease revenue will be insufficient to cover all corporate operating expenses and debt service payments on indebtedness we incur. 
General risks associated with the ownership of real estate include:  

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

  Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions,

  Changes in the supply of or demand for similar or competing properties,

  Changes in interest rates and operating expenses,

  Competition for tenants,

  Changes in market rental rates,

  Inability to lease or sell properties upon termination of existing leases,

  Renewal of leases at lower rental rates,

  Inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy,

  Changes in tax, real estate, zoning and environmental laws that may have an adverse impact upon the value of real estate,

  Uninsured property liability, property damage or casualty losses,

  Unexpected expenditures for capital improvements or to bring properties into compliance with applicable federal, state and 

local laws; and

  Acts of God and other factors beyond the control of our management.

The inability of a tenant in a single-tenant property to pay rent will reduce our revenues.  

Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant and, therefore, the success of our investments is materially dependent on the 
financial stability of these tenants. Revenues from several of our tenants/guarantors constitute a significant percentage of our lease 
revenues. Our five largest tenants/guarantors represented approximately 32%, 30% and 28% of total lease revenues in 2010, 2009 and 
2008, respectively. Lease payment defaults by tenants negatively impact our net income and reduce the amounts available for 
distributions to shareholders. As our tenants generally may not have a recognized credit rating, they may have a higher risk of lease 
defaults than if our tenants had a recognized credit rating. In addition, the bankruptcy of a tenant could cause the loss of lease 
payments as well as an increase in the costs incurred to carry the property until it can be re-leased or sold. We have had tenants file for 
bankruptcy protection. In the event of a default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur 
substantial costs in protecting the investment and re-leasing the property. If a lease is terminated, there is no assurance that we will be 
able to re-lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss.  

We are subject to possible liabilities relating to environmental matters.  

We own commercial properties and are subject to the risk of liabilities under federal, state and local environmental laws. These 
responsibilities and liabilities also exist for properties owned by the CPA® REITs and if they become liable for these costs, their 
ability to pay for our services could be materially affected. Some of these laws could impose the following on us:  

•

•

  Responsibility and liability for the cost of investigation and removal or remediation of hazardous substances released on 

our property, generally without regard to our knowledge of or responsibility for the presence of the contaminants;

  Liability for the costs of investigation and removal or remediation of hazardous substances at disposal facilities for persons 

who arrange for the disposal or treatment of such substances;

•

•

  Potential liability for common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs of environmental contaminants; and

  Claims being made against us by the CPA® REITs for inadequate due diligence.

Our costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances, or for third-party claims for damages, may be 
substantial. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances at any of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated 
property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or otherwise adversely 
affect our ability to sell or lease the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. While we attempt to mitigate identified 
environmental risks by contractually requiring tenants to acknowledge their responsibility for complying with environmental laws and 
to assume liability for environmental matters, circumstances may arise in which a tenant fails, or is unable, to fulfill its contractual 
obligations. In addition, environmental liabilities, or costs or operating limitations imposed on a tenant to comply with environmental 
laws, could affect its ability to make rental payments to us. Also, and although we endeavor to avoid doing so, we may be required, in 
connection with any future divestitures of property, to provide buyers with indemnification against potential environmental liabilities.  

A potential change in U.S. accounting standards regarding operating leases may make the leasing of facilities less attractive to 
our potential domestic tenants, which could reduce overall demand for our leasing services.  

Under current authoritative accounting guidance for leases, a lease is classified by a tenant as a capital lease if the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership are considered to reside with the tenant. This situation is considered to be met if, among other things, the non-
cancellable lease term is more than 75% of the useful life of the asset or if the present value of the minimum lease payments equals 
90% or more of the leased property’s fair value. Under capital lease accounting for a tenant, both the leased asset and liability are 
reflected on their balance sheet. If the lease does not meet any of the criteria for a capital lease, the lease is considered an operating 
lease by the tenant and the obligation does not appear on the tenant’s balance sheet; rather, the contractual future minimum payment 
obligations are only disclosed in the footnotes thereto. Thus, entering into an operating lease can appear to enhance a tenant’s balance 
sheet in comparison to direct ownership. In response to concerns caused by a 2005 SEC study that the current model does not have 
sufficient transparency, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the International Accounting Standards Board 
conducted a joint project to re-evaluate lease accounting. In August 2010, the FASB issued a Proposed Accounting Standards Update 
titled “Leases,” providing its views on accounting for leases by both lessees and lessors. The FASB’s proposed guidance may require 
significant changes in how leases are accounted for by both lessees and lessors. As of the date of this Report, the FASB has not 
finalized its views on accounting for leases. Changes to the accounting guidance could affect both our and the CPA® REITs’ 
accounting for leases as well as that of our and the CPA® REITs’ tenants. These changes may affect how the real estate leasing 
business is conducted both domestically and internationally. For example, if the accounting standards regarding the financial statement 
classification of operating leases are revised, then companies may be less willing to enter into leases in general or desire to enter into 
leases with shorter terms because the apparent benefits to their balance sheets could be reduced or eliminated. This in turn could make 
it more difficult for the company to enter leases on terms the company finds favorable.  

Proposed legislation may prevent us from qualifying for treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, 
which may significantly increase our tax liability and may affect the market value of our shares.  

Members of the U. S. Congress have introduced legislation that would, if enacted, preclude us from qualifying for treatment as a 
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the publicly traded partnership rules. If this or any similar legislation or 
regulation were to be enacted and to apply to us, we would incur a material increase in our tax liability and the market value of our 
shares could decline materially.  

We depend on key personnel for our future success.  

We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and key employees. The loss of the services of these executive officers and key 
employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations.  

Our governing documents and capital structure may discourage a takeover.  

Wm. Polk Carey, Chairman, is the beneficial owner of approximately 30% of our outstanding shares at December 31, 2010. The 
provisions of our Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and the share ownership of Mr. Carey may 
discourage a tender offer for our shares or a hostile takeover, even though these may be attractive to shareholders.

  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s 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.  

Business Overview  

As described in more detail in Item 1 of this Report, we operate in two operating segments, investment management and real estate 
ownership. Within our investment management segment, we are currently the advisor to the following affiliated publicly-owned, non-
actively traded real estate investment trusts: CPA®:14, CPA®:15, CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:17 — Global.

Total revenue increased in 2010 as compared to 2009, primarily due to the impact of increased investment volume on our investment 
management and real estate ownership segments.  

Net income increased in 2010 as compared to 2009. Results from operations in our investment management segment were 
significantly higher in 2010, primarily due to the increased volume of investments structured on behalf of the CPA® REITs as well as 
lower impairment charges recognized by the CPA® REITs. Results from operations in our real estate ownership segment were 
significantly lower, however, primarily as a result of impairment charges taken in connection with the sale or potential sale of certain 
properties.  

Cash flow from operating activities increased in 2010 as compared to 2009, primarily due to increases in net income as a result of the 
higher volume of investments structured on behalf of the CPA® REITs, partially offset by lower cash flow in our real estate ownership 
segment and a decline in the amount of deferred acquisition revenue received.  

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 2010 reflects increased 
investment volume over the prior year, as well as an improved financing and fundraising environment. While these factors reflect 
favorably on our business, the economic recovery remains weak, 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 
2010, the Euro weakened primarily as a result of sovereign debt issues in several European countries. Investments denominated in the 
Euro accounted for approximately 11% of our annualized contractual minimum base rent and 29% of aggregate annualized contractual 
minimum base rent for the CPA® REITs for 2010. During 2010, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Euro, as the average 
conversion rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro decreased by 5% in comparison to 2009. Additionally, the end-of-period 
conversion rate of the Euro at December 31, 2010 decreased 8% to $1.3253 from $1.4333 at December 31, 2009. This strengthening 
had a negative impact on our balance sheet at December 31, 2010 as compared to our balance sheet at December 31, 2009. 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  

We have recently seen evidence of a gradual improvement in capital market conditions, including new issuances of CMBS debt. 
Capital inflows to both commercial real estate debt and equity markets have helped increase the availability of mortgage financing and 
asset prices have begun to recover from their credit crisis lows. Over the past few quarters, there has been continued improvement in 
the availability of financing; however, lenders remain cautious and are employing more conservative underwriting standards. We have 
seen commercial real estate capitalization rates begin to narrow from 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 asset prices has helped 
to increase transaction activity, and our market has seen an increase in competition from both public and private investors.  

Investment Opportunities  

We earn structuring revenue on the investments we structure on behalf of the CPA® 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.  

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 CPA® 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 CPA® 
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 internationally, and further capital inflows into the marketplace 
could put additional pressure on the returns that we can generate from investments.  

We structured investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs totaling $1.0 billion during 2010 and entered into several investments for our 
owned real estate portfolio totaling $76.8 million, and based on current conditions, we expect that in 2011 we will be able to continue 
to take advantage of the investment opportunities we are seeing in both the U.S. and Europe. International investments comprised 43% 
of total investments during 2010. 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. During 2010, we saw an increase in 
the number of lenders for both domestic and international investments as market conditions improved 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 2010, we 
obtained non-recourse mortgage financing totaling $626.1 million on behalf of the CPA® REITs and $70.3 million for our owned real 
estate portfolio.  

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. 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. While more recently there have been some indications of 
stabilization in asset values and slight improvements in occupancy rates, general uncertainty surrounding commercial real estate 
fundamentals and property valuations continues. We and the CPA® 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 CPA® REITs 

We own shares in each of the CPA® REITs and earn asset management revenue based on a percentage of average invested assets for 
each CPA® 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 Proposed Merger, were lower 
than the NAVs at December 31, 2009, and we currently expect that the NAV for CPA®:15 at December 31, 2010, which is not yet 
available, will also be lower. However, the negative impact on our asset management revenue related to tenant defaults during 2009 
was substantially offset by asset management revenues earned related to new investments structured on behalf of CPA ®:17 — Global 
during 2010.  

The following table presents recent NAVs per share for these CPA® REITs:

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.  

Tenant Defaults  

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 CPA® REIT portfolios, tenant defaults can reduce 
our asset management revenue if they lead to a decline in the appraised value of the assets of the CPA® REITs and can also reduce our 
income from equity investments in the CPA® 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 CPA® 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 tenant’s credit profile may deteriorate, which could affect the value of the leased asset and could in turn require 
us or the CPA® 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® REIT 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. During 2008 
and 2009, the CPA® REITs experienced a significant increase in tenant defaults as companies across many industries experienced 
financial distress due to the economic downturn and the seizure in the credit markets. Our experience for 2010 reflected an 
improvement from the unusually high level of tenant defaults experienced during 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. We 
have observed that many of our tenants have benefited from continued improvements in general business conditions, which we 
anticipate will result in reduced tenant defaults going forward; however, it is possible that additional tenants may file for bankruptcy 
or default on their leases during 2011 and that economic conditions may again deteriorate.  

To mitigate these risks, we have historically looked to invest in assets that we believe are critically important to a tenant’s 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 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. Rent adjustments during 2009 and, to a lesser extent, 2010 generally benefited from increases in inflation rates during the 
years prior to the scheduled rent adjustment date. However, 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 declined from 94% at December 31, 2009 to 90% as of the date of this Report, 
primarily reflecting the impact of two tenants who vacated during 2010.  

Fundraising  

Fundraising trends for non-traded REITs overall include an increase in average monthly volume during 2010 compared to 2009. 
Additionally, the number of offerings has increased over 2009 levels. Consequently, there has been an increase in the competition for 
investment dollars.  

We are currently fundraising for CPA®:17 — Global. While fundraising trends are difficult to predict, our recent fundraising 
continues to be strong. We raised $593.1 million for CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public offering in 2010 and, through the date of this 
Report, have raised more than $1.4 billion on its behalf since beginning fundraising in December 2007. 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.  

CPA®:17 — Global has filed a registration statement with the SEC for a possible continuous public offering of up to an additional 
$1.0 billion of common stock, which we currently expect will commence after the initial public offering terminates. There can be no 
assurance that CPA®:17 — Global will actually commence the follow-on offering or successfully sell the full number of shares 
registered. The initial public offering for CPA®:17 — Global will terminate on the earlier of the date on which the registration 
statement for the follow-on offering becomes effective or May 2, 2011.  

We are currently fundraising for Carey Watermark, 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 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.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 25

                                   
   
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 2010 meeting. 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 2010, each of CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global deconsolidated a subsidiary and recognized a 
net gain on deconsolidation of $12.9 million, $12.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively.  

How We Evaluate Results of Operations  

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. We focus 
our efforts on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively 
selling assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. The ability to increase assets under management by structuring 
investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs is affected, among other things, by the CPA® REITs’ ability to raise capital and our ability 
to identify and enter into appropriate investments and financing.  

Our evaluation of operating results includes our ability to generate necessary cash flow in order to fund distributions to our 
shareholders. As a result, our assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effects of unrealized gains and losses, which 
may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges such as 
depreciation and impairment charges. We do not consider unrealized gains and losses resulting from short-term foreign currency 
fluctuations when evaluating our ability to fund distributions. Our evaluation of our potential for generating cash flow includes an 
assessment of the long-term sustainability of both our real estate portfolio and the assets we manage on behalf of the CPA® REITs.  

We consider cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, cash flows from financing activities and certain 
supplemental metrics that are not defined by GAAP (“non-GAAP”) performance metrics to be important measures in the evaluation of 
our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Cash flows from operating activities are sourced primarily by revenues 
earned from structuring investments and providing asset-based management services on behalf of the CPA® REITs we manage and 
long-term lease contracts from our real estate ownership. Our evaluation of the amount and expected fluctuation of cash flows from 
operating activities is essential in evaluating our ability to fund operating expenses, service debt and fund distributions to shareholders. 

We consider cash flows from operating activities plus cash distributions from equity investments in real estate and CPA® REITs in 
excess of equity income as a supplemental measure of liquidity in evaluating our ability to sustain distributions to shareholders. We 
consider this measure useful as a supplemental measure to the extent the source of distributions in excess of equity income is the result 
of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, because it allows us to evaluate the cash flows from consolidated and 
unconsolidated investments in a comparable manner. In deriving this measure, we exclude cash distributions from equity investments 
in real estate and CPA® REITs that are sourced from sales of equity investee’s assets or refinancing of debt because they are deemed 
to be returns on our investment.  

We focus on measures of cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities in our evaluation of our capital 
resources. Investing activities typically consist of the acquisition or disposition of investments in real property and the funding of 
capital expenditures with respect to real properties. Financing activities primarily consist of the payment of distributions to 
shareholders, borrowings and repayments under our lines of credit and the payment of mortgage principal amortization.

We earn asset-based management and performance revenue from the CPA® 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 CPA® REIT asset 
bases as a result of new investments; (ii) decreases in the CPA® 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 CPA® 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 CPA® REITs.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, asset management revenue decreased by $0.4 million. 
Asset management revenue from the CPA® REITs decreased by $3.1 million as a result of declines in the appraised value of the real 
estate-related assets of CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global at December 31, 2009. This decrease was substantially offset by 
an increase in revenue of $2.6 million from CPA®:17 — Global as a result of new investments entered into during 2009 and 2010.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, asset management revenue decreased by $4.1 million, 
primarily due to declines in the appraised value of the real estate-related assets of CPA®:14, CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global at 
December 31, 2008.

Structuring Revenue  

We earn structuring revenue when we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the CPA® REITs. 
Structuring revenue is dependent on investment activity, which is subject to significant period-to-period variation. Investment volume 
on behalf of the CPA® REITs was $1.0 billion in 2010, $507.7 million in 2009 and $457.3 million in 2008. Included in the 2010 and 
2008 investment activity were $91.7 million of real estate-related loans originated by us and $20.0 million of CMBS, respectively, 
acquired on behalf of CPA®:17 — Global, for which we earned structuring revenues of 1% compared to an average of 4.5% that we 
generally earn for structuring long-term net lease investments.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, structuring revenue increased by $21.3 million, 
primarily due to higher investment volume in 2010 compared to 2009.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, structuring revenue increased by $3.0 million, 
primarily due to higher investment volume in 2009 compared to 2008.  

Wholesaling Revenue  

We earn wholesaling revenue based on the number of shares sold in connection with CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public offering. 
Wholesaling revenue earned is offset by underwriting costs incurred in connection with the offering, which are included in general and 
administrative expenses.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, wholesaling revenue increased by $3.4 million 
primarily due to an increase in the number of shares sold related to CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public offering in 2010 compared to 
2009. As described in Current Trends — Fundraising above, we have made a concerted effort over the past two years to broaden our 
distribution channels, which has led to stronger fundraising results in each year.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, wholesaling revenue increased by $2.5 million 
primarily due to an increase in the number of shares sold related to CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public offering in 2009 compared to 
2008.  

Reimbursed and Reimbursable Costs  

Reimbursed costs from affiliates (revenue) and reimbursable costs (expenses) represent costs incurred by us on behalf of the CPA® 
REITs, consisting primarily of broker-dealer commissions and marketing and personnel costs, which are reimbursed by the CPA® 
REITs. Revenue from reimbursed costs from affiliates is offset by corresponding charges to reimbursable costs and therefore has no 
impact on net income.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, reimbursed and reimbursable costs increased by 
$12.5 million, primarily due to a higher level of commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public 
offering related to a corresponding increase in funds raised.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, reimbursed and reimbursable costs increased by 
$6.4 million, primarily due to a higher level of commissions paid to broker-dealers related to CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public 
offering related to a corresponding increase in funds raised.  

General and Administrative  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, general and administrative expenses increased by 
$10.2 million, primarily due to increases in compensation-related costs of $5.8 million, underwriting costs of $3.7 million and 
business development costs of $0.9 million. Compensation-related costs were $6.8 million higher in 2010 primarily due to an increase 
in commissions to investment officers and our expected bonus payout as a result of the higher investment volume during 2010, 
partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the resignations of two senior officers during 
2010. Underwriting costs related to CPA®:17 — Global’s offering are generally offset by wholesaling revenue, which we earn based 
on the number of shares of CPA®:17 — Global sold.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, general and administrative expenses increased by 
$3.2 million, primarily due to increases in compensation-related costs of $4.8 million and underwriting costs of $2.3 million. These 
increases were partially offset by decreases in professional fees of $2.9 million and business development costs of $1.4 million.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 28

                                   
   
Compensation-related costs were higher in 2009 due to several factors, including an increase of $2.3 million in the amortization of 
stock-based compensation to key officers and directors, which reflected two years of grants under a new long-term incentive program 
initiated in 2008, and a $1.7 million increase in bonuses resulting primarily from higher investment volume in 2009 as compared to 
2008. Professional fees primarily represent auditing, tax, legal and consulting services. Professional fees overall were lower in 2009 
primarily due to the write-off in 2008 of previously capitalized offering costs totaling $1.6 million related to the proposed offering of 
Carey Watermark (Note 2) and fees incurred in 2008 in connection with a settlement we entered into with the SEC with respect to a 
previously disclosed investigation (Note 9) and the opening of our asset management office in Amsterdam. These decreases in 
professional fees were partially offset by transaction-related costs of $1.0 million incurred in connection with a Carey Storage 
transaction during 2009 (Note 4).  

Income (Loss) from Equity Investments in CPA® REITs 

Income or loss from equity investments in CPA® REITs represents our proportionate share of net income or loss (revenues less 
expenses) from our investments in the CPA® REITs in which, because of the shares we elect to receive from them for revenue due to 
us, we have a noncontrolling interest but exercise significant influence. The net income of the CPA® REITs fluctuates based on the 
timing of transactions, such as new leases and property sales, as well as the level of impairment charges.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized income from equity investments in the CPA® REITs of 
$14.9 million, compared to a loss of $0.3 million in 2009, primarily due to a reduction in impairment charges recognized by the CPA®
REITs, which are estimated to total approximately $40.7 million in 2010, compared to $170.0 million in 2009. In addition, CPA®:14’s 
results of operations during 2010 included a gain on extinguishment of debt of $11.4 million and a gain on deconsolidation of a 
subsidiary of $12.9 million. CPA®:15 and CPA®:16 — Global’s results of operations during 2010 each also included a gain on the 
deconsolidation of a subsidiary of $12.8 million and $7.1 million, respectively. For CPA®:17 — Global, we receive up to 10% of 
distributions of available cash from its operating partnership. For 2010 and 2009, we received $4.5 million and $2.2 million, 
respectively, in cash under this provision.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009, loss from equity investments in the CPA® REITs was $0.3 million, 
compared to income of $6.2 million in 2008, primarily due to higher impairment charges recognized by the CPA® REITs, which 
totaled $170.0 million in 2009, compared to $40.4 million in 2008. In addition, the CPA® REITs recognized income totaling 
$20.0 million during 2008 related to the SEC Settlement. These factors were partially offset by an increase in net gains on sales of 
properties totaling $25.8 million recognized by the CPA® REITs in 2009 over 2008 as well as the $2.2 million cash distribution 
received in 2009 from CPA®:17 — Global’s operating partnership.  

Other Income and (Expenses)  

2010 — During 2010, we recognized other income of $0.3 million primarily due to gains realized on foreign currency transactions for 
the repatriation of cash from foreign countries.  

2009 — During 2009, we recognized other income of $4.1 million primarily related to a settlement of a dispute with a vendor 
regarding certain fees we paid in prior years for services they performed.  

2008 — We recognized other income of $1.9 million during 2008 primarily related to an insurance reimbursement of certain 
professional services costs incurred in connection with the now settled SEC investigation.  

Provision for Income Taxes  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, our provision for income taxes increased by 
$4.0 million, primarily due to an increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, our provision for income taxes decreased by 
$1.4 million, primarily due to a reduction in income from continuing operations before income taxes.  

Net Income from Investment Management Attributable to W. P. Carey Members  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, the resulting net income from investment management 
attributable to W. P. Carey members increased by $21.3 million.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, the resulting net income from investment management 
attributable to W. P. Carey members decreased by $5.5 million.

(a)   These revenues are generated in consolidated ventures, generally with our affiliates, and on a combined basis, include lease 
revenues applicable to noncontrolling interests totaling $3.8 million, $3.7 million and $3.6 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(b)   Amounts are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The average rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the 
Euro during both 2010 and 2009 strengthened by approximately 5% in comparison to the respective prior years, resulting in a 
negative impact on lease revenues for our Euro-denominated investments in 2010 and 2009.

(c)   The decrease in 2010 was due to lease restructuring in January 2010.
(d)   The increase in 2009 was due to CPI-based (or equivalent) rent increase.
(e)   The increase in 2010 was due to an expansion at this facility completed in January 2010.
(f)   We acquired this investment in February 2010.
(g)   The increase in 2010 was due to a rent increase as a result of a lease renewal in October 2009.
(h)   The increase in 2010 reflects the accelerated amortization of below-market rent intangibles as a result of the tenant not renewing 

its lease with us.

(a)   We acquired our interest in this investment in March 2009.
(b)   Amounts are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The average rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the 
Euro during both 2010 and 2009 strengthened by approximately 5% in comparison to the respective prior years, resulting in a 
negative impact on lease revenues for our Euro-denominated investments in 2010 and 2009.

(c)   In 2009, we recorded an adjustment to record this entity under the equity method. This entity had previously been accounted for 

under the proportionate consolidation method (Note 2). During 2008, this entity recorded lease revenue of $3.1 million.

(d)   The decrease in 2010 was due to lease restructuring in 2010.
(e)   The increase in 2010 was due to a CPI-based (or equivalent) rent increase and lease restructuring.
(f)   In March 2010, this venture completed the sale of this property and we have no further economic interest in this venture. The 

increase in 2009 was due to CPI-based (or equivalent) rent increase.

The above table does not reflect our share of interest income from our 5% interest in a venture that has a note receivable. The venture 
recognized interest income of $24.2 million, $27.1 million and $37.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 
respectively. This amount represents the 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 rates in foreign currencies.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, lease revenues increased by $1.1 million, primarily due 
to $6.0 million in lease revenue from investments we entered into and an expansion we placed into service during 2010, which was 
substantially offset by the impact of recent tenant activity (including lease restructurings, lease expirations and property sales), which 
reduced lease revenues by $5.2 million.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, lease revenues decreased by $4.5 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 $3.4 million. In addition, the reclassification of the U.S. Airways Group, Inc. property to an equity 
investment in real estate in 2009 resulted in a decrease of $3.1 million to lease revenues. These decreases were partially offset by 
scheduled rent increases at several properties totaling $1.6 million.

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, Inc. (“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.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, other real estate income increased by $3.7 million, 
primarily due to increases in reimbursable tenant costs of $2.7 million as well as income of $1.5 million from the eight properties that 
Carey Storage acquired in the third quarter of 2010. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in lease termination income of 
$1.0 million. Reimbursable tenant costs are recorded as both revenue and expenses and therefore have no impact on our results of 
operations.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, other real estate income decreased by $5.8 million, 
primarily due to lower lease termination income recognized in 2009. In 2008, we recorded lease termination fees totaling $7.5 million, 
partially offset by the write-off of certain intangible assets totaling $1.0 million. Increases in reimbursable tenant costs were 
substantially offset by a reduction in income from Livho, whose operations were impacted by the economic downturn.  

Depreciation and Amortization  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, depreciation and amortization increased by 
$0.7 million primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $2.3 million related to investments we entered into and an expansion 
we placed into service during 2010, partially offset by a $1.0 million write-off of intangible assets as a result of a lease termination in 
June 2009, resulting in higher amortization in 2009, and a $0.5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization as a result of several 
assets becoming fully depreciated or amortized.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, depreciation and amortization increased by 
$0.1 million. The $1.0 million write-off of intangible assets in 2009 was substantially offset by a decrease in depreciation and 
amortization of $0.7 million as a result of a reclassification of a property in 2009 to an equity investment that had previously been 
accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method.  

Property Expenses  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, property expenses increased by $3.8 million primarily 
due to an increase in reimbursable tenant costs of $2.7 million. The remainder of the increase in property expenses was due to two 
tenants vacating properties during 2010.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, property expenses increased by $0.6 million primarily 
due to increases in reimbursable tenant costs.  

General and Administrative  

General and administrative expenses were $4.4 million, $5.0 million and $7.1 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The 
$2.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008 was 
primarily due to decreases in professional expenses of $1.1 million and business development costs of $0.5 million. Professional fees 
in 2008 reflected costs incurred in connection with opening our asset management office in Amsterdam.

Impairment Charges  

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment charges related to our continuing real estate

Income from Equity Investments in Real Estate  

Income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate share of net income (revenue less expenses) from 
investments entered into with affiliates or third parties in which we have a noncontrolling interest but over which we exercise 
significant influence.  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, income from equity investments in real estate increased 
by $2.3 million, primarily due to income of $2.5 million recognized by us from a venture, Retail Distribution, in connection with 
selling its property in March 2010, as well as an increase in income of $0.7 million in 2010 due to higher foreign taxes incurred in 
2009 on our international ventures. In addition, income from the Amylin venture increased by $0.4 million as a result of its purchase 
accounting adjustment becoming fully amortized as well as higher rental income recognized in connection with a lease restructuring in 
2009. These increases were partially offset by the other-than-temporary impairment charge of $1.4 million recognized during 2010 on 
the Schuler venture to reflect the decline in the estimated fair value of the venture’s underlying net assets in comparison with the 
carrying value of our interest.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, income from equity investments in real estate increased 
by $5.8 million, primarily due to our investment in The New York Times transaction in March 2009, which contributed income of 
$3.5 million in 2009. In addition, during 2009 we recorded income of $1.6 million from an equity investment that had previously been 
accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method (Note 2).  

Gain on Sale of Investment in Direct Financing Lease  

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we sold our investment in a direct financing lease for $5.0 million, net of selling costs, and 
recognized a gain on sale of $1.1 million.  

Other Income and (Expenses)  

Other income and (expenses) consists primarily of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and derivative instruments as well 
as the Investor’s profit-sharing interest in income or losses from Carey Storage. We and certain of our foreign consolidated 
subsidiaries have intercompany debt and/or advances that are not denominated in the entity’s functional currency. When the 
intercompany debt or accrued interest thereon is remeasured against the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss may result. For 
intercompany transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, the gain or loss is recognized as a cumulative translation 
adjustment in other comprehensive income. We also recognize gains or losses on foreign currency transactions when we repatriate 
cash from our foreign investments.

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, other income decreased by $2.2 million. Results for 
2009 included a $7.0 million gain recognized by Carey Storage on the repayment of the $35.0 million outstanding balance on its 
secured credit facility for $28.0 million, partially offset by the Investor’s profit-sharing interest in the gain totaling $4.2 million.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized other income of $3.3 million, compared to other expenses of 
$0.4 million in 2008. The other income in 2009 was primarily comprised of the net gain recognized by Carey Storage as described 
above. The other expenses in 2008 were primarily due to foreign currency transactions. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange 
rates did not have a significant impact in 2009.  

Interest Expense  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, interest expense increased by $1.3 million, primarily as 
a result of mortgage financing obtained in connection with our investment activities during 2010.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, interest expense decreased by $3.6 million, including 
$1.8 million resulting from Carey Storage’s repayment of its $35.0 million outstanding balance on its secured credit facility in 
January 2009. In addition, interest expense on our line of credit decreased by $1.1 million compared to 2008, primarily due to a lower 
average annual interest rate, partially offset by a higher average outstanding balance during 2009. The weighted average annual 
interest rate on advances on the line of credit at December 31, 2009 was 1.3%, compared to 2.6% at December 31, 2008. An out-of-
period adjustment as described in Note 2 also resulted in a reduction of $1.1 million in interest expense for 2009.  

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations  

2010 — For the year ended December 31, 2010, loss from discontinued operations was $4.6 million, primarily due to impairment 
charges recognized of $5.9 million. These charges were partially offset by income generated from the operations of these properties of 
$0.8 million and a net gain on the sales of these properties of $0.5 million.  

2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2009, we earned income from discontinued operations of $5.2 million. During 2009, we 
sold five domestic properties and recognized a net gain of $7.7 million. We also recognized income generated from the operations of 
these properties of $4.4 million. These increases in income were partially offset by impairment charges recognized on these properties 
of $6.9 million.  

2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2008, we earned income from discontinued operations of $8.4 million, which primarily 
consisted of income generated from the operations of properties that were sold of $5.1 million and proceeds received from a former 
tenant in payment of a $3.8 million legal judgment in our favor, partially offset by a $0.5 million impairment charge.  

Impairment charges relating to our continuing operations for 2010, 2009 and 2008 are described in Impairment Charges above.  

Net Income from Real Estate Ownership Attributable to W. P. Carey Members  

2010 vs. 2009 — For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 2009, the resulting net income from real estate ownership 
attributable to W. P. Carey members decreased by $16.4 million.  

2009 vs. 2008 — For the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008, the resulting net income from real estate ownership 
attributable to W. P. Carey members decreased by $3.5 million.  

Financial Condition  

Sources and Uses of Cash during the Year  

Our cash flows fluctuate period to period due to a number of factors, which may include, among other things, 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 CPA® 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 short-term and long-
term liquidity needs. 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 year are described below.

Operating Activities  

Cash flow from operating activities increased in 2010 as compared to 2009. Increases in net income, which were driven primarily by 
revenues earned in connection with higher investment volume on behalf of the CPA® REITs, were partially offset by a decline in the 
amount of deferred acquisition revenue received and lower cash flow in our real estate ownership segment.  

During 2010, we received revenue of $40.3 million in cash from providing asset-based management services to the CPA® REITs as 
compared to $42.1 million in 2009. 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 2010, we received revenue of $25.4 million in connection with 
structuring investments and debt refinancing on behalf of the CPA® REITs as compared to $13.1 million in 2009. Deferred acquisition 
revenue received was lower during 2010 as compared to 2009, primarily due to a shift in the timing of when deferred acquisition 
revenue is received as well as 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.  

During 2010, our real estate ownership segment provided cash flows (contractual lease revenues, net of property-level debt service) of 
approximately $49.9 million, which represents a decrease of $7.0 million from 2009, primarily due to lower contractual lease revenues 
received in 2010 as a result of recent tenant activity (including lease restructurings, lease expirations and property sales).  

In 2010, 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.  

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 2010, we used $96.9 million to acquire several investments, including $47.6 million for a domestic investment, 
$27.2 million for an investment in Spain and $22.1 million for Carey Storage’s investments in eight self-storage properties. We 
partially funded the domestic investment with $36.1 million from the escrowed proceeds of a sale of a property in December 2009. In 
connection with the Spain investment, we paid foreign valued-added taxes of $4.2 million, which we expect to recover in the future. 
Cash inflows during 2010 included $18.8 million in distributions from equity investments in real estate and the CPA® REITs in excess 
of cumulative equity income, inclusive of distributions of $5.5 million from the Federal Express venture as a result of refinancing its 
maturing debt and $3.6 million received from the Retail Distribution venture in connection with the sale of its property. We also 
received proceeds of $14.6 million from the sale of seven properties in 2010.  

Financing Activities  

During 2010, we paid distributions to shareholders of $92.6 million, inclusive of a special distribution of $0.30 per share, or 
$11.8 million, that was paid in January 2010 to shareholders of record at December 31, 2009, and paid distributions of $5.1 million to 
affiliates who hold noncontrolling interests in various entities with us and an Investor who holds a profit-sharing interest in Carey 
Storage. We also made scheduled mortgage principal payments of $14.3 million and received mortgage loan proceeds totaling 
$56.8 million, including $35.0 million obtained for an investment we entered into in February 2010 and $15.5 million obtained in 
connection with Carey Storage’s investment in eight self-storage facilities in 2010. Borrowings under our line of credit increased 
overall by $30.8 million since December 31, 2009 and were comprised of gross borrowings of $83.3 million and repayments of 
$52.5 million. Borrowings under our line of credit were used primarily to finance our portion of the investments we acquired in 2010 
and to fund distributions to shareholders. In addition, we received contributions of $18.0 million from holders of noncontrolling 
interests and a profit-sharing interest, including the $9.6 million received in connection with the investment in Spain and $3.7 million 
received in connection with the self-storage investments. During 2010, we also received $3.7 million from the issuance of shares of 
our common stock in connection with our stock-based compensation plans.

(a)   Variable rate debt at December 31, 2010 included (i) $141.8 million outstanding under our line of credit, (ii) $48.0 million that 

had been effectively converted to fixed rates through interest rate swap derivative instruments and (iii) $54.4 million in mortgage 
obligations that bore interest at fixed rates but which have interest rate reset features that may change the interest rates to then-
prevailing market fixed rates (subject to specified caps) at certain points during their term.

Cash Resources  

At December 31, 2010, our cash resources consisted of the following:  

•

•

  Cash and cash equivalents totaling $64.7 million. Of this amount, $7.1 million, at then current exchange rates, was held in 

foreign bank accounts, and we could be subject to restrictions or significant costs should we decide to repatriate these 
amounts;

  A line of credit with unused capacity of $108.3 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. In addition, in January 2011, we made 
a $90.0 million short-term loan due in March of 2011 to an affiliate for the purpose of acquiring an investment, which we 
funded with proceeds from our line of credit; and

•

  We also had unleveraged properties that had an aggregate carrying value of $232.6 million, although given the current 

economic environment, 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.

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. We currently intend to extend this line for an additional year.  

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 lender’s 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 December 31, 2010, 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 following ratios and benchmarks at the end of 
each quarter (the quoted variables are specifically defined in the credit agreement):  

(i)

  a “maximum leverage” ratio, which requires us to maintain a ratio for “total outstanding indebtedness” to “total value” of 60% or 

less;

(ii)   a “maximum secured debt” ratio, which requires us to maintain a ratio for “total secured outstanding indebtedness” (inclusive of 

permitted “indebtedness of subsidiaries”) to “total value” of 50% or less;

(iii)   a “minimum combined equity value,” which requires us to maintain a “total value” less “total outstanding indebtedness” of at 

least $550.0 million. This amount must be adjusted in the event of any securities offering by adding 85% of the “fair market 
value of all net offering proceeds”;

(iv)   a “minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,” which requires us to maintain a ratio for “adjusted total EBITDA” to “fixed charges” 

of 1.75 to 1.0;

(v)   a “maximum dividend payout,” which requires us to ensure that the total of “restricted payments” made in the current quarter, 

when added to the total for the three preceding fiscal quarters, shall not exceed 90% of “adjusted total EBITDA” for the four 
preceding fiscal quarters. “Restricted payments” include quarterly dividends and the total amount of shares repurchased by us in 
excess of $10.0 million per year; and

(vi)   a limitation on “recourse indebtedness,” which prohibits us from incurring additional secured indebtedness other than “non-

recourse indebtedness” or indebtedness that is recourse to us that exceeds $50.0 million or 5% of the “total value,” whichever is 
greater.

We were in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010.  

Cash Requirements  

During 2011, we expect that cash payments will include paying distributions to shareholders and to our affiliates who hold 
noncontrolling interests in entities we control and making scheduled mortgage principal payments, including mortgage balloon 
payments totaling $27.3 million, as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. In addition, our share of balloon payments 
during the next twelve months on our unconsolidated ventures totals $9.2 million. See below for cash requirements related to the 
Proposed Merger.  

We expect to fund future investments, any capital expenditures on existing properties and scheduled debt maturities on non-recourse 
mortgage loans through use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our line of credit.  

Expected Impact of Proposed Merger and Asset Sale  

If approved, we currently expect the Proposed Merger of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global and the asset sale from CPA®:14 to us to 
have the following impact on our liquidity and results of operations; however there can be no assurance that these transactions will be 
completed.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, we expect to earn $52.5 million in disposition and termination fees from CPA®:14. We 
currently expect to receive our $31.2 million termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which will then be exchanged at our election into 
shares of CPA®:16–Global in order to facilitate this transaction. Based on our ownership of CPA®:14 common stock as of December 
31, 2010, we also expect to receive distributions totaling approximately $8.0 million, as part of the special $1.00 per share cash 
distribution to CPA®:14 shareholders. We have agreed to purchase three properties from CPA®:14, in which we already have a joint 
venture interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $32.1 million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness. 
These properties all have remaining lease terms of less than 8 years, which are shorter than the average lease term of CPA® :16–
Global’s portfolio of properties. Consequently, CPA®:16–Global required that these assets be sold by CPA®:14 prior to the Proposed 
Merger.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 38

                                   
   
The board of directors of each of CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:14 have the ability, but not the obligation, to terminate the 
transaction if more than 50% of the shareholders of CPA®:14 elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger. Assuming that holders of 
50% of CPA®:14’s outstanding stock elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger, then the maximum cash required by CPA®:16 — 
Global to purchase these shares would be approximately $416.1 million, based on the total shares of CPA®:14 outstanding at 
December 31, 2010. If the cash on hand and available to CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global, including the proceeds of the CPA®:14 
Asset Sales and the $300.0 million senior credit facility of CPA®:16 — Global, is not sufficient to enable CPA®:16 — Global to fulfill 
cash elections in the Proposed Merger by CPA®:14 shareholders, we have agreed to purchase a sufficient number of shares of 
CPA®:16 — Global stock from CPA®:16 — Global to enable it to pay such amounts to CPA®:14 shareholders.  

We currently expect to use the special $1.00 per share cash distribution received from our ownership of CPA®:14 shares, the post-tax 
proceeds from the disposition revenues, cash on hand, and amounts available under our line of credit to finance our potential 
obligations in connection with the Proposed Merger and the CPA®:14 Asset Sales, as necessary.  

We currently estimate that the properties to be acquired from CPA®:14 will generate annual lease revenue and cash flow totaling 
approximately $8.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively. This additional cash flow will be partially offset by lower annual asset 
management revenue approximating $1.0 million, lower annual equity income of approximately $0.9 million, and interest expense 
incurred related to any borrowing 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 these properties has its lease expiration between December 2015 
and July 2024, renewable at the tenant’s option. There are no scheduled balloon payments on any of the properties to be acquired from 
CPA®:14 until July 2017.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations  

The table below summarizes our debt, off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations at December 31, 2010 and the

(a)   Interest on un-hedged variable rate debt obligations was calculated using the applicable variable interest rates and balances 

outstanding at December 31, 2010.

(b)   Operating and other lease commitments consist primarily of the total minimum rents payable on the lease for our principal 
offices. We are reimbursed by affiliates for their share of the future minimum rents under an office cost-sharing agreement. 
These amounts are allocated among the entities based on gross revenues and are adjusted quarterly. The table above excludes the 
rental obligation under a ground lease of a venture in which we own a 46% interest. This obligation totals approximately 
$2.9 million over the lease term through January 2063.

(c)   Represents a commitment to contribute capital to an investment in India.

Amounts in the table above related to our foreign operations are based on the exchange rate of the Euro at December 31, 2010. At 
December 31, 2010, we had no material capital lease obligations for which we are the lessee, either individually or in the aggregate.  

Proposed Merger of Affiliates  

Assuming that holders of 50% of CPA®:14’s outstanding stock elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger, then the maximum cash 
required by CPA®:16 — Global to purchase these shares would be approximately $416.1 million, based on the total shares of 
CPA®:14 outstanding at December 31, 2010. 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 $300.0 million senior credit facility of CPA®:16 — Global, is not sufficient to enable 
CPA®:16 — Global to fulfill cash elections in the Proposed Merger by CPA®:14 shareholders, we have agreed to purchase a sufficient 
number of shares of CPA®:16 — Global stock from CPA®:16 — Global to enable it to pay such amounts to CPA®:14 shareholders.

In connection with the Proposed Merger, we entered into a sale and purchase agreement with CPA®:14 pursuant to which we have 
agreed to purchase CPA®:14’s interests in three properties for an aggregate purchase price of $32.1 million, plus the assumption of 
approximately $64.7 million of debt. The purchase price was determined by us, relying in part upon a valuation of the properties as of 
September 30, 2010 performed by a third-party valuation firm. The completion of the sale of assets to us is a condition to the closing 
of the Proposed Merger. The closing of the CPA®:14 Asset Sales is subject to the closing of the Proposed Merger.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, CAM has agreed to indemnify CPA®:16 — Global if it suffers certain losses arising out of a 
breach by CPA®:14 of its representations and warranties under the merger agreement and having a material adverse effect on 
CPA®:16 — Global after the Proposed Merger, up to the amount of fees received by CAM in connection with the Proposed Merger. 
We have evaluated the exposure related to this indemnification and determined the exposure to be minimal. We have also agreed to 
pay the expenses of CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances up to a 
maximum of $4.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

(a)   In January 2011, this venture refinanced its existing non-recourse mortgage debt for new non-recourse financing of 

$15.0 million.

(b)   In January 2011, this venture repaid its maturing non-recourse mortgage loan.
(c)   Dollar amounts shown are based on the exchange rate of the Euro at December 31, 2010.
(d)   In December 2010, this venture refinanced its existing non-recourse mortgage debt with new non-recourse financing of 

$54.0 million based on the appraised value of the underlying real estate of the venture at that time and distributed the proceeds to 
the venture partners.

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.

Environmental Obligations  

In connection with the purchase of many of our properties, we required 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.  

Critical Accounting Estimates  

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Many of these accounting policies 
require judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions when applying these policies in the preparation of our consolidated 
financial statements. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments based on historical experience as well as other 
factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are subject to change in the future if underlying 
assumptions or factors change. Certain accounting policies, while significant, may not require the use of estimates. Those accounting 
policies that require significant estimation and/or judgment are listed below.  

Classification of Real Estate Assets  

We classify our directly-owned leased assets for financial reporting purposes at the inception of a lease, or when significant lease 
terms are amended, as either real estate leased under operating leases or net investment in direct financing leases. This classification is 
based on several criteria, including, but not limited to, estimates of the remaining economic life of the leased assets and the calculation 
of the present value of future minimum rents. We estimate remaining economic life relying in part upon third-party appraisals of the 
leased assets. We calculate the present value of future minimum rents using the lease’s implicit interest rate, which requires an 
estimate of the residual value of the leased assets as of the end of the non-cancelable lease term. Estimates of residual values are 
generally determined by us relying in part upon third-party appraisals. Different estimates of residual value result in different implicit 
interest rates and could possibly affect the financial reporting classification of leased assets. The contractual terms of our leases are not 
necessarily different for operating and direct financing leases; however, the classification is based on accounting pronouncements that 
are intended to indicate whether the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor or substantially transferred to the lessee. 
We believe that we retain certain risks of ownership regardless of accounting classification. Assets classified as net investment in 
direct financing leases are not depreciated but are written down to expected residual value over the lease term. Therefore, the 
classification of assets may have a significant impact on net income even though it has no effect on cash flows.  

Identification of Tangible and Intangible Assets in Connection with Real Estate Acquisitions  

In connection with our acquisition of properties accounted for as operating leases, we allocate purchase costs to tangible and 
intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. We determine the value of tangible assets, consisting of 
land and buildings, as if vacant, and record intangible assets, including the above- and below-market value of leases, the value of in-
place leases and the value of tenant relationships, at their relative estimated fair values.  

We determine the value attributed to tangible assets in part using a discounted cash flow model that is intended to approximate both 
what a third party would pay to purchase the vacant property and rent at current estimated market rates. In applying the model, we 
assume that the disinterested party would sell the property at the end of an estimated market lease term. Assumptions used in the 
model are property-specific where this information is available; however, when certain necessary information is not available, we use 
available regional and property-type information. Assumptions and estimates include a discount rate or internal rate of return, 
marketing period necessary to put a lease in place, carrying costs during the marketing period, leasing commissions and tenant 
improvements allowances, market rents and growth factors of these rents, market lease term and a cap rate to be applied to an estimate 
of market rent at the end of the market lease term.

We acquire properties subject to net leases and determine the value of above-market and below-market lease intangibles based on the 
difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the leases negotiated and in place at the time of acquisition of the 
properties and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the property or a similar property, both of which are measured over a 
period equal to the estimated market lease term. We discount the difference between the estimated market rent and contractual rent to 
a present value using an interest rate reflecting our current assessment of the risk associated with the lease acquired, which includes a 
consideration of the credit of the lessee. Estimates of market rent are generally determined by us relying in part upon a third-party 
appraisal obtained in connection with the property acquisition and can include estimates of market rent increase factors, which are 
generally provided in the appraisal or by local brokers.  

We evaluate the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and any pre-existing relationship with each tenant in determining the 
value of in-place lease and tenant relationship intangibles. To determine the value of in-place lease intangibles, we consider estimated 
market rent, estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period, current market conditions and 
costs to execute similar leases. Estimated carrying costs include real estate taxes, insurance, other property operating costs and 
estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, based on assessments of specific market 
conditions. In determining the value of tenant relationship intangibles, we consider the expectation of lease renewals, the nature and 
extent of our existing relationship with the tenant, prospects for developing new business with the tenant and the tenant’s credit 
profile. We also consider estimated costs to execute a new lease, including estimated leasing commissions and legal costs, as well as 
estimated carrying costs of the property during a hypothetical expected lease-up period. We determine these values using our 
estimates or by relying in part upon third-party appraisals.  

Basis of Consolidation  

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”) 
and, if so, whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. Significant 
judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the 
partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE under current authoritative 
accounting guidance, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if 
any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the 
entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (ii) has the 
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  

For an entity that is not considered to be a VIE, the general partners in a limited partnership (or similar entity) are presumed to control 
the entity regardless of the level of their ownership and, accordingly, may be required to consolidate the entity. We evaluate the 
partnership agreements or other relevant contracts to determine whether there are provisions in the agreements that would overcome 
this presumption. If the agreements provide the limited partners with either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve or liquidate the 
limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (b) substantive participating rights, the limited partners’ 
rights overcome the presumption of control by a general partner of the limited partnership, and, therefore, the general partner must 
account for its investment in the limited partnership using the equity method of accounting.  

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity that is structured at the date of acquisition as a tenant-in-common interest, we 
evaluate the tenancy-in-common agreements or other relevant documents to ensure that the entity does not qualify as a VIE and does 
not meet the control requirement required for consolidation. We also use judgment in determining whether 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 by us for a return on our investment. We account for 
tenancy-in-common interests under the equity method of accounting.  

Impairments  

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, may be impaired or 
that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, the vacancy of a property 
that is not subject to a lease; a lease default by a tenant that is experiencing financial difficulty; the termination of a lease by a tenant; 
or the rejection of a lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. We may incur impairment charges on long-lived assets, including real estate, 
direct financing leases, assets held for sale and equity investments in real estate. We may also incur impairment charges on marketable 
securities and goodwill. Estimates and judgments used when evaluating whether these assets are impaired are presented below.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 42

                                   
   
Real Estate  

For real estate assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is 
impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property to the future net 
undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the 
property. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values and holding 
periods. We estimate market rents and residual values using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent 
comparable sales. In cases where the available market information is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow 
analysis discounted for inherent risk associated with each asset to determine an estimated fair value. As our investment objective is to 
hold properties on a long-term basis, holding periods used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis generally range from five to ten 
years. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets 
can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best possible estimate of 
future cash flows. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property is less than the carrying value, the property is considered to 
be impaired. We then measure the loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. The property’s 
estimated fair value is primarily determined using market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent 
comparable sales.  

Direct Financing Leases  

We review our direct financing leases at least annually to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the 
current estimate of residual value of the property. The residual value is our estimate of what we could realize upon the sale of the 
property at the end of the lease term, based on market information from outside sources such as broker quotes or recent comparable 
sales. If this review indicates that a decline in residual value has occurred that is other-than-temporary, we recognize an impairment 
charge and revise the accounting for the direct financing lease to reflect a portion of the future cash flow from the lessee as a return of 
principal rather than as revenue. While we evaluate direct financing leases if there are any indicators that the residual value may be 
impaired, the evaluation of a direct financing lease can be affected by changes in long-term market conditions even though the 
obligations of the lessee are being met.  

Assets Held for Sale  

We classify real estate assets that are accounted for as operating leases as held for sale when we have entered into a contract to sell the 
property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied and we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur 
within one year. When we classify an asset as held for sale, we calculate its estimated fair value as the expected sale price, less 
expected selling costs. We base the expected sale price on the contract and the expected selling costs on information provided by 
brokers and legal counsel. We then compare the asset’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, and if the estimated fair value is less 
than the property’s carrying value, we reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. We will continue to review the initial 
impairment for subsequent changes in the estimated fair value, and may recognize an additional impairment charge if warranted.  

If circumstances arise that we previously considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as 
held for sale, we reclassify the property as held and used. We measure and record a property that is reclassified as held and used at the 
lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would 
have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the estimated fair value at the date of the 
subsequent decision not to sell.  

Equity Investments in Real Estate and CPA® REITs 

We evaluate our equity investments in real estate and in the CPA® REITs on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators 
that the value of our equity investment may be impaired and to establish whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To 
the extent impairment has occurred, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair 
value, which is determined by multiplying the estimated fair value of the underlying venture’s net assets by our ownership interest 
percentage. For our unconsolidated ventures in real estate, we calculate the estimated fair value of the underlying venture’s real estate 
or net investment in direct financing lease as described in Real Estate and Direct Financing Leases above. The fair value of the 
underlying venture’s debt, if any, is calculated based on market interest rates and other market information. The fair value of the 
underlying venture’s other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investment in direct financing leases) have fair values that 
approximate their carrying values. For our investments in the CPA® REITs, we calculate the estimated fair value of our investment 
using the most recently published NAV of each CPA® REIT.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 43

                                   
 
   
Marketable Securities  

We evaluate our marketable securities for impairment if a decline in estimated fair value below cost basis is considered other-than-
temporary. In determining whether the decline is other-than-temporary, we consider the underlying cause of the decline in value, the 
estimated recovery period, the severity and duration of the decline, as well as whether we plan to sell the security or will more likely 
than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. If we determine that the decline is other-than-temporary, we 
record an impairment charge to reduce our cost basis to the estimated fair value of the security. Beginning in 2009, the credit 
component of an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings while the non-credit component is recognized in Other 
comprehensive income (“OCI”). Prior to 2009, all portions of other-than-temporary impairments were recorded in earnings.  

Goodwill  

We evaluate goodwill recorded by our investment management segment for possible impairment at least annually using a two-step 
process. To identify any impairment, we first compare the estimated fair value of our investment management segment with its 
carrying amount, including goodwill. We calculate the estimated fair value of the investment management segment by applying a 
multiple, based on comparable companies, to earnings. If the fair value of the investment management segment exceeds its carrying 
amount, we do not consider goodwill to be impaired and no further analysis is required. If the carrying amount of the investment 
management segment exceeds its estimated fair value, we then perform the second step to measure the amount of the impairment 
charge.  

For the second step, we determine the impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill with its carrying amount 
and record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the implied fair value. We determine the implied fair 
value of the goodwill by allocating the estimated fair value of the investment management segment to its assets and liabilities. The 
excess of the estimated fair value of the investment management segment over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the 
implied fair value of the goodwill.  

Provision for Uncollected Amounts from Lessees  

On an ongoing basis, we assess our ability to collect rent and other tenant-based receivables and determine an appropriate allowance 
for uncollected amounts. Because we have a limited number of lessees (18 lessees represented 68% of lease revenues during 2010), 
we believe that it is necessary to evaluate the collectability of these receivables based on the facts and circumstances of each situation 
rather than solely using statistical methods. Therefore, in recognizing our provision for uncollected rents and other tenant receivables, 
we evaluate actual past due amounts and make subjective judgments as to the collectability of those amounts based on factors 
including, but not limited to, our knowledge of a lessee’s circumstances, the age of the receivables, the tenant’s credit profile and prior 
experience with the tenant. Even if a lessee has been making payments, we may reserve for the entire receivable amount from the 
lessee if we believe there has been significant or continuing deterioration in the lessee’s ability to meet its lease obligations.  

Determination of Certain Asset-Based Management and Performance Revenue  

We earn asset-based management and performance revenue for providing property management, leasing, advisory and other services 
to the CPA® REITs. For certain CPA® REITs, this revenue is based on third-party annual estimated valuations of the underlying real 
estate assets of the CPA® REIT. The valuation uses estimates, including but not limited to market rents, residual values and increases 
in the CPI and discount rates. Differences in the assumptions applied would affect the amount of revenue that we recognize. The effect 
of any changes in the annual valuations will affect both revenue and compensation expense and therefore the determination of net 
income.  

Income Taxes  

Real Estate Ownership Operations  

We have elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As partnerships, we and our partnership 
subsidiaries were generally not directly subject to tax and the taxable income or loss of these operations was included in the income 
tax returns of the members; accordingly, no provision for income tax expense or benefit related to these partnerships was reflected in 
the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, our real estate operations have been conducted through a 
subsidiary REIT. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the subsidiary is required to, among other things, distribute at least 
90% of its REIT net taxable income to its shareholders (excluding net capital gains) and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its 
income and assets. As a REIT, the subsidiary is not subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the portion of its income that 
meets certain criteria and is distributed annually to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income 
taxes related to the REIT subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements. We believe we have operated, and we intend to continue 
to operate, in a manner that allows the subsidiary to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these 
requirements, however, are highly technical and complex. If we were to fail to meet these requirements, the subsidiary would be 
subject to U.S. federal income tax. These operations are subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes and a provision for such taxes 
is included in the consolidated financial statements.  

W. P. Carey 2010 10-K — 44

                                   
   
Investment Management Operations  

We conduct our investment management operations primarily through taxable subsidiaries. These operations are subject to federal, 
state, local and foreign taxes, as applicable. Our financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including these taxable 
subsidiaries and include a provision for current and deferred taxes on these operations.  

Our consolidated effective income tax rate is influenced by tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in 
which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions. We 
establish tax reserves in accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance is 
based on a benefit recognition model, which we believe could result in a greater amount of benefit (and a lower amount of reserve) 
being initially recognized in certain circumstances. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, 
the guidance permits a company to recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately 
realized upon settlement. The tax position must be derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained.  

Future Accounting Requirements  

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-28, which clarifies when step two of the goodwill 
impairment test must be performed for entities whose reporting units have a negative carrying value. This ASU will be applicable to 
us for our annual goodwill impairment evaluation beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011. We do not anticipate that it will 
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.  

Subsequent Event  

In January 2011, we made a $90.0 million loan to CPA®:17 — Global to fund acquisitions that were closed within the first two weeks 
of the year. The principal and accrued interest thereon at 1.15% per annum are due to us no later than March 11, 2011. We funded the 
loan with proceeds from our line of credit.  

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risks  

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 such, 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 counterparty’s 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 December 31, 2010, we 
estimate that the fair value of our interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, 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 $0.7 million (Note 12).  

At December 31, 2010, a significant portion (approximately 63%) 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 December 31, 2010 ranged from 3.1% to 7.8%. The annual interest rates on our 
variable rate debt at December 31, 2010 ranged from 1.2% to 7.3%. Our debt obligations are more fully described in Financial 
Condition above. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates of our debt obligations at 
December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

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 such debt at December 31, 2010 by an aggregate increase of 
$13.6 million or an aggregate decrease of $12.8 million, respectively. Annual interest expense on our unhedged variable-rate debt that 
does not bear interest at fixed rates at December 31, 2010 would increase or decrease by $1.5 million for each respective 1% change in 
annual interest rates. As more fully described in Financial Condition — Summary of Financing in Item 7 above, a portion of the debt 
classified as variable-rate debt in the tables above bore interest at fixed rates at December 31, 2010 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 tenant’s 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 year ended December 31, 2010, we 
recognized net realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. These losses 
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 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.  

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under non-cancelable operating leases and scheduled payments for mortgage 
notes payable (principal and interest) for our foreign real estate operations during each of the next five years and thereafter are as

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC:  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial position of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of 
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the 
accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related 
consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control 
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for 
these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for 
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express 
opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over 
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over 
financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material 
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our 
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.  

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the 
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in 
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect 
on the financial statements.  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Non-cash activities  

(a)   In October 2008, we terminated the lease on a domestic property in exchange for a gross termination fee of $7.5 million. The 
termination fee consisted of tenant’s assumption of the existing $6.0 million debt balance by substituting one of their owned 
assets as collateral and a $1.5 million cash payment. In connection with the lease termination, we wrote off $0.8 million of 
straight line rent adjustments and $0.2 million of unamortized leasing commission.

(b)   We issued restricted shares valued at $0.5 million in 2010, $0.8 million in 2009 and $0.2 million in 2008, to certain directors in 
consideration of service rendered. Stock-based awards (net of adjustment — Note 15) valued at $10.2 million, $6.7 million and 
$9.6 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were issued to officers and employees and were recorded to Listed shares, of 
which $1.5 million, $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, was forfeited in 2010, 2009 and 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

W. P. Carey, its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors 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 CPA® REITs that invest in similar properties. We are currently the advisor to the following CPA® REITs: 
CPA®:14, CPA®:15, CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:17 — Global. At December 31, 2010, we owned and managed 955 properties 
domestically and internationally. Our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interest in 164 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 89%.  

Primary Business Segments  

Investment Management — We structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the CPA® 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 assets under management. As funds available to the CPA® 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’s operating 
partnership. We may also earn incentive and disposition revenue and receive other compensation in connection with providing 
liquidity alternatives to CPA® REIT shareholders.  

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. We may also invest in other properties if opportunities arise.  

Organization  

We commenced operations on January 1, 1998 by combining the limited partnership interests of nine CPA® partnerships, at which 
time we listed on the New York Stock Exchange. On June 28, 2000, we acquired the net lease real estate management operations of 
Carey Management LLC (“Carey Management”) from Wm. Polk Carey, our Chairman and then Chief Executive Officer, subsequent 
to receiving the approval of the transaction by our shareholders. The assets acquired included the advisory agreements with four 
affiliated CPA® REITs, our management agreement, the stock of an affiliated broker-dealer, investments in the common stock of the 
CPA® REITs, and certain office furniture, fixtures, equipment and employees required to carry on the business operations of Carey 
Management.  

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

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 formed Carey Watermark in March 2008 for the purpose of acquiring interests in lodging and lodging-related properties. In 
April 2010, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to sell up to $1.0 billion of common stock of Carey Watermark 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. As of and during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 
2008, the financial statements of Carey Watermark, which had no significant assets, liabilities or operations during either period, were 
included in our consolidated financial statements, as we owned all of Carey Watermark’s outstanding common stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In June 2009, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs. The amended guidance affects the overall 
consolidation analysis, changing the approach taken by companies in identifying which entities are VIEs and in determining which 
party is the primary beneficiary, and requires an enterprise to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a 
VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of 
the VIE, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to 
the VIE. The amended guidance changes the consideration of kick-out rights in determining if an entity is a VIE, which may cause 
certain additional entities to now be considered VIEs. Additionally, the guidance requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary 
beneficiary and provides a framework for the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. We adopted this 
amended guidance on January 1, 2010, which did not require consolidation of any additional VIEs, but we have disclosed the assets 
and liabilities related to previously consolidated VIEs, of which we are the primary beneficiary and which we consolidate, separately 
in our consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have a material impact on 
our financial position and results of operations.  

Additionally, in February 2010, the FASB issued further guidance, which provided a limited-scope deferral for an interest in an entity 
that meets all of the following conditions: (a) the entity has all the attributes of an investment company as defined under the American 
Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ (“AICPA”) Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies, or does not have all the 
attributes of an investment company but is an entity for which it is acceptable based on industry practice to apply measurement 
principles that are consistent with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies, (b) the reporting entity does not 
have explicit or implicit obligations to fund any losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity, and (c) the entity 
is not a securitization entity, asset-based financing entity or an entity that was formerly considered a qualifying special-purpose entity. 
We evaluated our involvement with the CPA® REITs and concluded that all three of the above conditions were met for the limited 
scope deferral. Accordingly, we continued to perform our consolidation analysis for the CPA® REITs in accordance with previously 
issued guidance on VIEs.  

In connection with the adoption of the amended guidance on the consolidation of VIEs, we performed an analysis of all of our 
subsidiary entities, including our venture entities with other parties, to determine whether they qualify as VIEs and whether they 
should be consolidated or accounted for as equity investments in an unconsolidated venture. As a result of our quantitative and 
qualitative assessment to determine whether these entities are VIEs, we identified four entities that were deemed to be VIEs. Three of 
these entities were deemed VIEs as the third-party tenant that leases property from each entity has the right to repurchase the property 
during the term of their lease at a fixed price. The fourth entity was deemed a VIE as a third party was deemed to have the right to 
receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The nature of operations and organizational structure of these four VIEs are 
consistent with our other entities (Note 1) except for the repurchase and residual returns rights of these entities.  

After making the determination that these entities were VIEs, we performed an assessment as to which party would be considered the 
primary beneficiary of each entity and would be required to consolidate each entity’s balance sheet and results of operations. This 
assessment was based upon which party (i) had the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic 
performance and (ii) had the obligation to absorb the expected losses of or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially 
be significant to the VIE. Based on our assessment, it was determined that we would continue to consolidate the four VIEs. Activities 
that we considered significant in our assessment included which entity had control over financing decisions, leasing decisions and 
ability to sell the entity’s assets. In September 2010, one of these entities amended its lease with the third-party tenant to remove the 
tenant’s right to repurchase the property at a fixed price during the term of the lease. As a result of the lease amendment, this entity is 
no longer considered a VIE. We will continue to consolidate this entity.  

Because we generally utilize non-recourse debt, our maximum exposure to any VIE is limited to the equity we have invested in each 
VIE. We have not provided financial or other support to any VIE, and there were no guarantees or other commitments from third 
parties that would affect the value of or risk related to our interest in these entities.  

Out-of-Period Adjustment  

During the third quarter of 2009, we recorded an adjustment to record an entity on the equity method that had been incorrectly 
accounted for under a proportionate consolidation method since its acquisition in 1989. This adjustment was recorded as a reduction to 
Real estate and Non-recourse debt of approximately $23.3 million and $15.0 million, respectively, and an increase to Equity 
investment in real estate and CPA® REITs of $7.8 million on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009, and an adjustment 
to classify approximately $1.2 million of net earnings to income from equity investments in real estate and CPA® REITs for the nine 
months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, which did not result in any change to previously reported net income attributable to 
W. P. Carey members. We have concluded that the effect of this adjustment was not material to any of our previously issued financial 
statements, nor was it material to the quarter or fiscal year in which it was recorded. As such, this adjustment was recorded in our 
consolidated balance sheets and statements of income at September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Prior 
period financial statements have not been revised in the current filing, nor will such amounts be revised in subsequent filings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates  

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 
(“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.  

Reclassifications and Revisions  

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations and to conform to the current 
year presentation.  

Purchase Price Allocation  

When we acquire properties accounted for as operating leases, we allocate the purchase costs to the tangible and intangible assets and 
liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. We determine the value of the tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, 
as if vacant, and record intangible assets, including the above-market and below-market value of leases, the value of in-place leases 
and the value of tenant relationships, at their relative estimated fair values. See Real Estate Leased to Others and Depreciation below 
for a discussion of our significant accounting policies related to tangible assets. We include the value of below-market leases in 
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.  

We record above-market and below-market lease values for owned properties based on the present value (using an interest rate 
reflecting the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the 
leases negotiated and in place at the time of acquisition of the properties and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the property 
or equivalent property, both of which are measured over a period equal to the estimated market lease term. We amortize the 
capitalized above-market lease value as a reduction of rental income over the estimated market lease term. We amortize the capitalized 
below-market lease value as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed rate renewal periods in the respective 
leases.  

We allocate the total amount of other intangibles to in-place lease values and tenant relationship intangible values based on our 
evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with each tenant. The characteristics we 
consider in allocating these values include estimated market rent, the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenant, the 
expectation of lease renewals, estimated carrying costs of the property if vacant and estimated costs to execute a new lease, among 
other factors. We determine these values using our estimates or by relying in part upon third-party appraisals. We amortize the 
capitalized value of in-place lease intangibles to expense over the remaining initial term of each lease. We amortize the capitalized 
value of tenant relationships to expense over the initial and expected renewal terms of the lease. No amortization period for intangibles 
will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  

If a lease is terminated, we charge the unamortized portion of each intangible, including above-market and below-market lease values, 
in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, to expense.  

Operating Real Estate  

We carry land and buildings and personal property at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize improvements, while we 
expense replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets as incurred.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

We consider all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or 
less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include commercial paper and money-market 
funds. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in the custody of several financial institutions, and these balances, at times, exceed 
federally insurable limits. We seek to mitigate this risk by depositing funds only with major financial institutions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Other Assets and Liabilities  

We include prepaid expenses, deferred rental income, tenant receivables, deferred charges, escrow balances held by lenders, restricted 
cash balances, marketable securities, derivative assets and corporate fixed assets in Other assets. We include derivative instruments; 
miscellaneous amounts held on behalf of tenants; and deferred revenue, including unamortized below-market rent intangibles in Other 
liabilities. Other liabilities at December 31, 2009 also included our profit-sharing obligation related to our Carey Storage subsidiary. 
The profit-sharing obligation was reclassified to Noncontrolling interest in 2010 as a result of Carey Storage amending its agreement 
with the third-party investor (Note 4). Deferred charges are costs incurred in connection with mortgage financings and refinancings 
that are amortized over the terms of the mortgages and included in Interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred 
rental income is the aggregate cumulative difference for operating leases between scheduled rents that vary during the lease term, and 
rent recognized on a straight-line basis. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value 
with unrealized gains and losses on these securities reported as a component of OCI until realized.  

Real Estate Leased to Others  

We lease real estate to others primarily on a triple-net leased basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating 
expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, renewals and improvements. We charge 
expenditures for maintenance and repairs, including routine betterments, to operations as incurred. We capitalize significant 
renovations that increase the useful life of the properties. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, although we are 
legally obligated for payment, lessees were responsible for the direct payment to the taxing authorities of real estate taxes of 
approximately $7.7 million, $8.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively.  

We diversify our real estate investments among various corporate tenants engaged in different industries, by property type and by 
geographic area. Substantially all of our leases provide for either scheduled rent increases, periodic rent adjustments based on 
formulas indexed to changes in the CPI or similar indices or percentage rents. CPI-based adjustments are contingent on future events 
and are therefore not included in straight-line rent calculations. We recognize rents from percentage rents as reported by the lessees, 
which is after the level of sales requiring a rental payment to us is reached.  

We account for leases as operating or direct financing leases, as described below:  

Operating leases — We record real estate at cost less accumulated depreciation; we recognize future minimum rental revenue on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the related leases and charge expenses (including depreciation) to operations as incurred (Note 4).  

Direct financing method — We record leases accounted for under the direct financing method at their net investment (Note 5). We 
defer and amortize unearned income to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on our net 
investment in the lease.  

On an ongoing basis, we assess our ability to collect rent and other tenant-based receivables and determine an appropriate allowance 
for uncollected amounts. Because we have a limited number of lessees (18 lessees represented 68% of lease revenues during 2010), 
we believe that it is necessary to evaluate the collectibility of these receivables based on the facts and circumstances of each situation 
rather than solely using statistical methods. Therefore, in recognizing our provision for uncollected rents and other tenant receivables, 
we evaluate actual past due amounts and make subjective judgments as to the collectability of those amounts based on factors 
including, but not limited to, our knowledge of a lessee’s circumstances, the age of the receivables, the tenant’s credit profile and prior 
experience with the tenant. Even if a lessee has been making payments, we may reserve for the entire receivable amount if we believe 
there has been significant or continuing deterioration in the lessee’s ability to meet its lease obligations.  

Acquisition Costs  

In accordance with the FASB’s revised guidance for business combinations, which we adopted on January 1, 2009, we immediately 
expense all acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations, but we capitalize these costs 
for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset. We are impacted by the revised guidance through both the investments we make 
for our owned portfolio as well as our equity interests in the CPA® REITs. To the extent we make investments for our owned portfolio 
or on behalf of the CPA® REITs that are deemed to be business combinations, our results of operations will be negatively impacted by 
the immediate expensing of acquisition costs and fees incurred in accordance with the revised guidance, whereas in the past such costs 
and fees would generally have been capitalized and allocated to the cost basis of the acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition, there 
will be a positive impact on our results of operations through a reduction in depreciation expense over the estimated life of the 
properties.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition  

We earn structuring revenue and asset management revenue in connection with providing services to the CPA® REITs. We earn 
structuring revenue for services we provide in connection with the analysis, negotiation and structuring of transactions, including 
acquisitions and dispositions and the placement of mortgage financing obtained by the CPA® REITs. Asset management revenue 
consists of property management, leasing and advisory revenue. Receipt of the incentive revenue portion of the asset management 
revenue (“performance revenue”), however, is subordinated to the achievement of specified cumulative return requirements by the 
shareholders of the CPA® REITs. At our option, the performance revenue may be collected in cash or shares of the CPA® REIT (Note 
3).  

We recognize all revenue as earned. We earn structuring revenue upon the consummation of a transaction and asset management 
revenue when services are performed. We recognize revenue subject to subordination only when the performance criteria of the CPA®
REIT is achieved and contractual limitations are not exceeded.  

We are also reimbursed for certain costs incurred in providing services, including broker-dealer commissions paid on behalf of the 
CPA® REITs, marketing costs and the cost of personnel provided for the administration of the CPA® REITs. We record 
reimbursement income as the expenses are incurred, subject to limitations on a CPA® REIT’s ability to incur offering costs.  

We earn wholesaling revenue of $0.15 per share sold in connection with CPA®:17 — Global’s initial public offering. This revenue is 
used to cover the cost of wholesaling activities.  

Depreciation  

We compute depreciation of building and related improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the 
properties (generally 40 years) and furniture, fixtures and equipment (generally up to seven years). We compute depreciation of tenant 
improvements using the straight-line method over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life.  

Impairments  

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, may be impaired or 
that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, the vacancy of a property 
that is not subject to a lease; a lease default by a tenant that is experiencing financial difficulty; the termination of a lease by a tenant; 
or the rejection of a lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. We may incur impairment charges on long-lived assets, including real estate, 
direct financing leases, assets held for sale and equity investments in real estate. We may also incur impairment charges on marketable 
securities and goodwill. Our policies for evaluating whether these assets are impaired are presented below.  

Real Estate  

For real estate assets in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether an asset is 
impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property to the future net 
undiscounted cash flow that we expect the property will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the 
property. The undiscounted cash flow analysis requires us to make our best estimate of market rents, residual values and holding 
periods. Depending on the assumptions made and estimates used, the future cash flow projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets 
can vary within a range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best possible estimate of 
future cash flows. If the future net undiscounted cash flow of the property is less than the carrying value, the property is considered to 
be impaired. We then measure the loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value.  

Direct Financing Leases  

We review our direct financing leases at least annually to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in the 
current estimate of residual value of the property. The residual value is our estimate of what we could realize upon the sale of the 
property at the end of the lease term, based on market information. If this review indicates that a decline in residual value has occurred 
that is other-than-temporary, we recognize an impairment charge and revise the accounting for the direct financing lease to reflect a 
portion of the future cash flow from the lessee as a return of principal rather than as revenue. While we evaluate direct financing leases 
if there are any indicators that the residual value may be impaired, the evaluation of a direct financing lease can be affected by changes 
in long-term market conditions even though the obligations of the lessee are being met.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Assets Held for Sale  

We classify real estate assets that are accounted for as operating leases as held for sale when we have entered into a contract to sell the 
property, all material due diligence requirements have been satisfied and we believe it is probable that the disposition will occur 
within one year. When we classify an asset as held for sale, we calculate its estimated fair value as the expected sale price, less 
expected selling costs. We then compare the asset’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, and if the estimated fair value is less 
than the property’s carrying value, we reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. We will continue to review the initial 
impairment for subsequent changes in the estimated fair value, and may recognize an additional impairment charge if warranted.  

If circumstances arise that we previously considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as 
held for sale, we reclassify the property as held and used. We measure and record a property that is reclassified as held and used at the 
lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would 
have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the estimated fair value at the date of the 
subsequent decision not to sell.  

Equity Investments in Real Estate and CPA® REITs 

We evaluate our equity investments in real estate and in the CPA® REITs on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators 
that the value of our equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent 
impairment has occurred, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value. 
For equity investments in real estate, we calculate estimated fair value by multiplying the estimated fair value of the underlying 
venture’s net assets by our ownership interest percentage. For our investments in the CPA® REITs, we calculate the estimated fair 
value of our investment using the most recently published net asset value of each CPA® REIT.  

Marketable Securities  

We evaluate our marketable securities for impairment if a decline in estimated fair value below cost basis is considered other-than-
temporary. In determining whether the decline is other-than-temporary, we consider the underlying cause of the decline in value, the 
estimated recovery period, the severity and duration of the decline, as well as whether we plan to sell the security or will more likely 
than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. If we determine that the decline is other-than-temporary, we 
record an impairment charge to reduce our cost basis to the estimated fair value of the security. Beginning in 2009, the credit 
component of an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings while the non-credit component is recognized in OCI. 
Prior to 2009, all portions of other-than-temporary impairments were recorded in earnings.  

Goodwill  

We evaluate goodwill recorded by our investment management segment for possible impairment at least annually using a two-step 
process. To identify any impairment, we first compare the estimated fair value of our investment management segment with its 
carrying amount, including goodwill. We calculate the estimated fair value of the investment management segment by applying a 
multiple, based on comparable companies, to earnings. If the fair value of the investment management segment exceeds its carrying 
amount, we do not consider goodwill to be impaired and no further analysis is required. If the carrying amount of the investment 
management segment exceeds its estimated fair value, we then perform the second step to measure the amount of the impairment 
charge.  

For the second step, we determine the impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill with its carrying amount 
and record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the implied fair value. We determine the implied fair 
value of the goodwill by allocating the estimated fair value of the investment management segment to its assets and liabilities. The 
excess of the estimated fair value of the investment management segment over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the 
implied fair value of the goodwill.  

Stock-Based Compensation  

We have granted restricted shares, stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) to certain 
employees and independent directors. Grants were awarded in the name of the recipient subject to certain restrictions of transferability 
and a risk of forfeiture. The forfeiture provisions on the awards generally expire annually, over their respective vesting periods. We 
granted stock options to certain employees during 2008 and prior years. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based 
compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with current accounting guidance for share-based 
payments. We recognize these compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite 
service period of the award. We include stock-based compensation within the listed shares caption of equity.

Foreign Currency Translation  

We have interests in real estate investments in the European Union for which the functional currency is the Euro. We perform the 
translation from the Euro to the U.S. dollar for assets and liabilities using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and 
for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the period. We report the gains and losses resulting 
from such translation as a component of OCI in equity. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the cumulative foreign currency translation 
adjustment (losses) gains were ($1.9) million and $0.2 million, respectively.  

Foreign currency transactions may produce receivables or payables that are fixed in terms of the amount of foreign currency that will 
be received or paid. A change in the exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is 
denominated increases or decreases the expected amount of functional currency cash flows upon settlement of that transaction. That 
increase or decrease in the expected functional currency cash flows is an unrealized foreign currency transaction gain or loss that 
generally will be included in determining net income for the period in which the exchange rate changes. Likewise, a transaction gain 
or loss (measured from the transaction date or the most recent intervening balance sheet date, whichever is later), realized upon 
settlement of a foreign currency transaction generally will be included in net income for the period in which the transaction is settled. 
Foreign currency transactions that are (i) designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of a net investment and (ii) inter-
company foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the 
foreseeable future), when the entities to the transactions are consolidated or accounted for by the equity method in our financial 
statements, are not included in determining net income but are accounted for in the same manner as foreign currency translation 
adjustments and reported as a component of OCI in equity. International equity investments in real estate were funded in part through 
subordinated intercompany debt.  

Foreign currency intercompany transactions that are scheduled for settlement, consisting primarily of accrued interest and the 
translation to the reporting currency of subordinated intercompany debt with scheduled principal payments, are included in the 
determination of net income. We recognized net unrealized (losses) gains of ($0.3) million, $0.2 million and ($2.4) million from such 
transactions for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 
2008, we recognized net realized (losses) gains of ($0.1) million, less than $0.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, on foreign 
currency transactions in connection with the transfer of cash from foreign operations of subsidiaries to the parent company.  

Derivative Instruments  

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under 
the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a 
derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be 
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in OCI until 
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cash flow hedges, the ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be 
immediately recognized in earnings.  

Income Taxes  

We have elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for the 
corporate subsidiaries based on earnings reported. The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts currently payable because 
of temporary differences in the recognition of certain income and expense items for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes. 
Income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax 
assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial bases of assets 
and liabilities (Note 16).  

Real Estate Ownership Operations  

Our real estate operations are conducted through a subsidiary REIT. As a REIT, our real estate operations are generally not subject to 
federal tax, and accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statements for 
these operations. These operations are subject to certain state, local and foreign taxes, as applicable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In October 2007, we transferred our real estate assets from a wholly-owned subsidiary into Carey REIT II, Inc. (“Carey REIT II”), a 
newly-formed wholly-owned REIT subsidiary. On January 1, 2008, we merged our subsidiary Carey REIT, Inc. (“Carey REIT”) into 
Carey REIT II with Carey REIT II as the survivor. Carey REIT held certain properties, including certain properties acquired from 
Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated in 2006. To the extent that the fair value of Carey REIT property in the merger 
exceeded its tax basis at the time of the merger, Carey REIT II would be subject to corporate level taxes to the extent of this “built-in-
gain” if the properties were to be sold in a taxable transaction within ten years from the date of the merger. At the time of the merger, 
Carey REIT owned three properties whose tax values were not significantly different from their fair values. We do not expect to 
trigger any “built-in-gains” nor do we expect any significant “built-in-gains” tax if triggered.  

Carey REIT II elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 
“Code”), with the filing of its 2007 return. 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 related to Carey REIT II in the consolidated financial statements.  

Investment Management Operations  

We conduct our investment management operations primarily through taxable subsidiaries. These operations are subject to federal, 
state, local and foreign taxes, as applicable. Our financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis including these taxable 
subsidiaries and include a provision for current and deferred taxes on these operations.  

Earnings Per Share  

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders, as adjusted for unallocated earnings 
attributable to the unvested RSUs by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted 
earnings per share reflects potentially dilutive securities (options, restricted shares and RSUs) using the treasury stock method, except 
when the effect would be anti-dilutive.  

Future Accounting Requirements  

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, which clarifies when step two of the goodwill impairment test must be performed 
for entities whose reporting units have a negative carrying value. This ASU will be applicable to us for our annual goodwill 
impairment evaluation beginning with the year ending December 31, 2011. We do not anticipate that it will have a material impact on 
our financial position or results of operations.  

Note 3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties  

Advisory Agreements with the CPA® REITs 

We have advisory agreements with each of the CPA® REITs pursuant to which we earn certain fees. The advisory agreements were 
renewed for an additional year pursuant to their terms effective October 1, 2010. The following table presents a summary of revenue 
earned and cash received from the CPA® REITs in connection with providing services as the advisor to the CPA® REITs (in

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 CPA®:17 — Global, we do not earn performance revenue, but we receive up to 10% of distributions of available 
cash from its operating partnership. Distributions of available cash from CPA®:17 — Global’s operating partnership are recorded as 
income from equity investments in CPA® REITs within the investment management segment.  

Under the terms of the advisory agreements, we may elect to receive cash or shares of restricted stock for any revenue due from each 
CPA® REIT. In both 2010 and 2009, we elected to receive all asset management revenue in cash, with the exception of CPA®:17 — 
Global’s asset management revenue, which we elected to receive in restricted shares. For both 2010 and 2009, 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.  

Structuring Revenue  

We earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing for the CPA® 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. Unpaid 
deferred installments totaled $30.5 million and $31.0 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and were included in Due 
from affiliates in the consolidated financial statements (Note 5). Unpaid installments bear interest at annual rates ranging from 5% to 
7%. Interest earned on unpaid installments was $1.1 million, $1.5 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 
2009 and 2008, respectively. 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 CPA® 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, subject to subordination provisions. We 
will only recognize this revenue if we meet the subordination provisions.  

Reimbursed Costs from Affiliates and Wholesaling Revenue  

The CPA® REITs reimburse us for certain costs, primarily broker-dealer commissions paid on behalf of the CPA® REITs and 
marketing and personnel costs. In addition, 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 — Global’s 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 — Global’s offering. Total underwriting 
compensation earned in connection with CPA®:17 — Global’s offering, 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. The limit on underwriting compensation is currently 10% of gross offering proceeds. We may also be 
reimbursed up to an additional 0.5% of the gross offering proceeds for bona fide due diligence expenses.  

Other Transactions with Affiliates  

Proposed Merger of Affiliates  

On December 13, 2010, two of the CPA® REITs we manage, CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global, entered into a definitive agreement 
pursuant to which CPA®:14 will merge with and into a subsidiary of CPA®:16 — Global, subject to the approval of the shareholders 
of CPA®:14. The closing of the Proposed Merger is also subject to customary closing conditions, as well as the closing of the 
CPA®:14 Asset Sales. If the Proposed Merger is approved, we currently expect that the closing will occur in the second quarter of 
2011, although there can be no assurance of such timing.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, we have agreed to purchase three properties from CPA®:14, in which we already have a joint 
venture interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $32.1 million, plus the assumption of approximately $64.7 million of indebtedness. 
These properties all have remaining lease terms of less than 8 years, which are shorter than the average lease term of CPA®:16 — 
Global’s portfolio of properties. Consequently, CPA®:16 — Global required that these assets be sold by CPA®:14 prior to the 
Proposed Merger. This asset sale to us is contingent upon the approval of the Proposed Merger by the shareholders of CPA®:14.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

If the Proposed Merger is consummated, we expect to earn 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. We currently expect to receive our 
termination fee in shares of CPA®:14, which will then be exchanged into shares of CPA®:16 — Global in order to facilitate this 
transaction. In addition, based on our ownership of 8,018,456 shares of CPA®:14 at December 31, 2010, we will receive 
approximately $8.0 million as a result of a special $1.00 cash distribution to be paid by CPA®:14 to its shareholders, in part from the 
proceeds of the CPA®:14 Asset Sales, immediately prior to the Proposed Merger, as described below. We have agreed to elect to 
receive stock of CPA®:16 — Global in respect of our shares of CPA®:14 if the Proposed Merger is consummated. CAM has also 
agreed to waive any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:16 — Global under its advisory agreement with CAM in respect of the 
properties being acquired in the Proposed Merger and has also agreed to waive any disposition fees that may subsequently be payable 
by CPA®:16 — Global upon a sale of such assets.  

In the Proposed Merger, CPA®:14 shareholders will be entitled to receive $11.50 per share, which is equal to the NAV of CPA®:14 as 
of September 30, 2010. The Merger Consideration will be paid to shareholders of CPA®:14, at their election, in either cash or a 
combination of the $1.00 per share special cash distribution and 1.1932 shares of CPA®:16 - Global common stock, which equates to 
$10.50 based on the $8.80 per share NAV of CPA®:16 - Global as of September 30, 2010. We computed these NAVs internally, 
relying in part upon a third-party valuation of each company’s real estate portfolio and indebtedness as of September 30, 2010. The 
board of directors of each of CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:14 have the ability, but not the obligation, to terminate the transaction if 
more than 50% of the shareholders of CPA®:14 elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger. Assuming that holders of 50% of 
CPA®:14’s outstanding stock elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger, then the maximum cash required by CPA®:16 — Global to 
purchase these shares would be approximately $416.1 million, based on the total shares of CPA®:14 outstanding at December 31, 
2010. 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 $300.0 million senior credit facility of CPA®:16 — Global, is not sufficient to enable CPA®:16 — Global to fulfill cash elections 
in the Proposed Merger by CPA®:14 shareholders, we have agreed to purchase a sufficient number of shares of CPA®:16 — Global 
stock from CPA®:16 — Global to enable it to pay such amounts to CPA®:14 shareholders.  

Other  

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 CPA® 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. During each of the 
years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded income from noncontrolling interest partners of $2.4 million, in each 
case related to reimbursements from these affiliates. The average estimated minimum lease payments on the office lease, inclusive of 
noncontrolling interests, at December 31, 2010 approximates $3.0 million annually through 2016.  

We own interests in entities ranging from 5% to 95%, including jointly-controlled tenant-in-common interests in properties, with the 
remaining interests generally held by affiliates, and own common stock in each of the CPA® REITs and Carey Watermark. We 
consolidate certain of these investments and account for the remainder under the equity method of accounting.  

One of our directors and officers is the sole shareholder of Livho, a subsidiary that operates a hotel investment. We consolidate the 
accounts of Livho in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with current accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs 
because it is a VIE and we are its primary beneficiary.  

Family members of one of our directors have an ownership interest in certain companies that own noncontrolling interests in one of 
our French majority-owned subsidiaries. These ownership interests are subject to substantially the same terms as all other ownership 
interests in the subsidiary companies.  

An officer owns a redeemable noncontrolling interest in W. P. Carey International LLC (“WPCI”), a subsidiary company that 
structures net lease transactions on behalf of the CPA® REITs outside of the U.S., as well as certain related entities.  

Included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at each of December 31, 2010 
and 2009 are amounts due to affiliates totaling $0.9 million.  

In December 2007, we received a loan totaling $7.6 million from two affiliated ventures in which we have interests that are accounted 
for under the equity method of accounting. The loan was used to fund the acquisition of certain tenancy-in-common interests in 
Europe and was repaid in March 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred interest expense of $0.1 million in 
connection with this loan.

Advisory Agreement with Carey Watermark  

Effective September 15, 2010, we entered into an advisory agreement with Carey Watermark to perform certain services, including 
managing Carey Watermark’s offering and its overall business, identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of 
lodging-related properties and the performance of certain administrative duties. We are currently fundraising for Carey Watermark; 
however, as of December 31, 2010, Carey Watermark had no investments or significant operating activity. Costs incurred on behalf of 
Carey Watermark totaled $3.4 million through December 31, 2010. We anticipate being reimbursed for all or a portion of these costs 
in accordance with the terms of the advisory agreement if the minimum offering proceeds are raised.

In February 2010, we entered into a domestic investment that was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition at a total cost of 
$47.6 million and capitalized acquisition-related costs of $0.1 million. We funded the investment with the escrowed proceeds of 
$36.1 million from a sale of property in December 2009 in an exchange transaction under Section 1031 of the Code, and $11.5 million 
from our line of credit. In July 2010, we obtained non-recourse mortgage financing of $35.0 million for this investment at an annual 
interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% that has been fixed at 5.5% through the use of an interest rate swap. This financing has a term of 
10 years.  

In June 2010, a venture in which we and an affiliate hold 70% and 30% interests, respectively, and which we consolidate, entered into 
an investment in Spain for a total cost of $27.2 million, inclusive of a noncontrolling interest of $8.4 million. We funded our share of 
the purchase price with proceeds from our line of credit. In connection with this transaction, which was deemed to be a real estate 
asset acquisition, we capitalized acquisition-related costs and fees totaling $1.0 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to a 
noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million. Dollar amounts are based on the exchange rate of the Euro on the date of acquisition.

In January 2009, Carey Storage completed a transaction whereby it received cash proceeds of $21.9 million, plus a commitment to 
invest up to a further $8.1 million of equity, from the Investor to fund the purchase of self-storage assets in the future in exchange for 
a 60% interest in its self-storage portfolio (“Carey Storage venture”). We reflect the Carey Storage venture’s operations in our real 
estate ownership segment. Costs totaling $1.0 million incurred in structuring the transaction and bringing in the Investor into these 
operations are reflected in General and administrative expenses in our investment management segment during 2009. Prior to 
September 2010, we accounted for this transaction under the profit-sharing method because Carey Storage had a contingent option to 
repurchase this interest from the Investor at fair value. During the third quarter of 2010, Carey Storage amended its agreement with the 
Investor to, among other matters, remove the contingent purchase option in the original agreement. However, Carey Storage retained a 
controlling interest in the Carey Storage venture. As of September 30, 2010, we have reclassified the Investor’s interest from Accounts 
payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities to Noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheet.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the January 2009 transaction, the Carey Storage venture repaid in full, the $35.0 million outstanding balance on its 
secured credit facility at a discount for $28.0 million, terminated the facility, and recognized a gain of $7.0 million on the repayment 
of this debt, inclusive of the Investor’s interest of $4.2 million. The debt repayment was financed with a portion of the proceeds from 
the exchange of the 60% interest and non-recourse debt with a new lender totaling $25.0 million, which is secured by individual 
mortgages on, and cross-collateralized by, the thirteen properties in the Carey Storage portfolio at the time of the January 2009 
transaction. The new financing bears interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum and has a 10-year term with a rate reset after 5 years. 
The $7.0 million gain recognized on the debt repayment and the Investor’s $4.2 million interest in this gain are both reflected in Other 
income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.  

In August 2009, the Carey Storage venture borrowed an additional $3.5 million that is collateralized by individual mortgages on, and 
cross-collateralized by, seven properties in the Carey Storage portfolio and distributed the proceeds to its profit-sharing interest 
holders. This loan has an annual fixed interest rate of 7.25% and a term of 9.6 years with a rate reset after 5 years. As part of this 
transaction, the Carey Storage venture distributed $1.9 million to the Investor, which has been reflected as a reduction of the profit-
sharing obligation.  

During 2010, the Carey Storage venture acquired seven self-storage properties in the U.S. at a total cost of $19.2 million, inclusive of 
amounts attributable to the Investor’s interest of $11.5 million. These investments were deemed to be business combinations, and as a 
result, the venture expensed acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to the Investor’s interest of 
$0.2 million. In connection with these investments, the Carey Storage venture obtained new non-recourse mortgage financing and 
assumed existing mortgage loans from the sellers totaling $13.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to the Investor’s interest of 
$8.2 million. The mortgage loans have a weighted-average annual fixed interest rate and term of 6.3% and 8.2 years, respectively.  

During 2010, an entity owned 100% by Carey Storage acquired another self-storage property in the U.S. for $2.8 million that was 
deemed to be a business combination, and as a result, it expensed acquisition-related costs of less than $0.1 million. In connection 
with this investment, Carey Storage obtained new non-recourse mortgage financing of $1.9 million with an annual fixed interest rate 
of 6.3% and a term of 10 years.

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.

During 2008, we sold our net investment in a direct financing lease for $5.0 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on 
sale of $1.1 million. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, in connection with our annual reviews of the 
estimated residual values of our properties, we recorded impairment charges related to four direct financing leases of $1.1 million, 
$2.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Impairment charges relate primarily to other-than-temporary declines in the estimated 
residual values of the underlying properties due to market conditions (see Note 13). At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, Other 
assets included $0.3 million of accounts receivable, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of less than $0.1 million, related to 
amounts billed under these direct financing leases.  

Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals and expenses paid by tenants, percentage of sales rents and future CPI-based

Percentage rent revenue approximated $0.1 million in each of 2010, 2009 and 2008.  

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 CPA® REITs. A portion of this revenue is due in equal annual installments ranging from three to eight years, provided the 
relevant CPA® REIT meets its performance criterion. Unpaid deferred installments, including accrued interest, from all of the CPA® 
REITs totaled $31.4 million and $32.4 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant 
defaults. At 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 fourth quarter of 2010. 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 CPA ® REITs 

Our equity investments in real estate for our investments in the CPA® REITs and for our interests in unconsolidated real estate 
investments are summarized below.  

CPA® REITs 

We own interests in the CPA® 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 CPA® REITs are publicly registered and the CPA® 
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 CPA® REITs and have elected, in certain cases, to receive a portion of this revenue in 
the form of restricted common stock of the CPA® REITs rather than cash.  

The following table sets forth certain information about our investments in the CPA® REITs (dollars in thousands):

We recognized income (loss) from our equity investments in the CPA® REITs of $14.9 million, ($0.3) million and $6.2 million for the 
years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our proportionate share of income or loss recognized from our equity 
investments in the CPA® REITs is impacted by several factors, including impairment charges recorded by the CPA® REITs. During 
2010, 2009 and 2008, the CPA® REITs recognized impairment charges totaling approximately $40.7 million, $170.0 million and 
$40.4 million, respectively, which based upon our proportionate ownership reduced the income we earned from these investments by 
$3.0 million, $11.5 million and $2.1 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 common 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).

(d)   The decrease in carrying value was due to cash distributions made to us by the venture.
(e)   The increase in carrying value was due to operating contributions we made to the venture.
(f)   In March 2010, this venture sold its property and distributed the proceeds to the venture partners. We have no further economic 

interest in this venture.

(g)   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.

(h)   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. Our share of the distribution was $17.6 
million, which exceeded our total investment in the venture at that time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2, we adopted the FASB’s amended guidance on the consolidation of VIEs effective January 1, 2010. Upon 
adoption of the amended guidance, we re-evaluated our existing interests in unconsolidated entities and determined that we should 
continue to account for our interests in The New York Times and Hellweg ventures using the equity method of accounting primarily 
because the partners in each of these ventures has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic 
performance, including disposal rights of the property. Carrying amounts related to these VIEs are noted in the table above. Because 
we generally utilize non-recourse debt, our maximum exposure to either VIE is limited to the equity we have in each VIE. We have 
not provided financial or other support to either VIE, and there are no guarantees or other commitments from third parties that would 
affect the value or risk of our interest in such entities.  

The following tables present combined summarized financial information of our venture properties. Amounts provided are the total 
amounts attributable to the venture properties and do not represent our proportionate share (in thousands):

We recognized income from these equity investments in real estate of $16.0 million, $13.8 million and $8.0 million for the years 
ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate 
share of the income or losses of these ventures as well as certain depreciation and amortization adjustments related to purchase 
accounting and other-than-temporary impairment charges.  

We have a 5% interest in a Lending Venture that made a loan, the Note Receivable, to the Partner who held a 75.3% interest in the 
Partnership owning 37 properties throughout Germany at a total cost of $336.0 million. Concurrently, our affiliates also acquired an 
interest in a 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 limited partnership for a $295.7 million reduction in the Note Receivable due to 
the Lending Venture. 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.  

Equity Investment in Direct Financing Lease Acquired  

In March 2009, an entity in which we, CPA®:16 — Global and CPA®:17 — Global hold 17.75%, 27.25% and 55% interests, 
respectively, completed a net lease financing transaction with respect to a leasehold condominium interest, encompassing 
approximately 750,000 rentable square feet, in the office headquarters of The New York Times Company for approximately $233.7 
million. Our share of the purchase price was approximately $40.0 million, which we funded with proceeds from our line of credit. We 
account for this investment under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a controlling interest in the entity but exercise 
significant influence over it. In connection with this investment, which was deemed a direct financing lease, the venture capitalized 
costs and fees totaling $8.7 million. In August 2009, the venture obtained mortgage financing on the New York Times property of 
$119.8 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.75% that has been capped at 8.75% through the use of an interest rate cap. 
This financing has a term of five years.

Note 7. Intangible Assets and Goodwill  

In connection with our acquisition of properties, we have recorded net lease intangibles of $41.1 million, which are being amortized 
over periods ranging from approximately one year to 40 years. 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. Below-market rent intangibles are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities 
in the consolidated financial statements.  

Intangibles and goodwill are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Based on the intangible assets at December 31, 2010, annual net amortization of intangibles for each of the next five years is as 
follows: 2011 — $3.1 million, 2012 — $2.6 million, 2013 — $2.3 million, 2014 — $1.1 million, and 2015 — $0.9 million.

(a)   Includes $141.8 million outstanding under our line of credit, which is scheduled to mature in June 2011. We currently intend to 

extend this line for an additional year.

Non-recourse debt  

Non-recourse debt consists of mortgage notes payable, which are collateralized by the assignment of real property and direct financing 
leases, with an aggregate carrying value of $367.5 million at December 31, 2010. Our mortgage notes payable had fixed annual 
interest rates ranging from 3.1% to 7.8% and variable annual interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 7.3%, with maturity dates ranging 
from 2011 to 2021 at December 31, 2010.  

In January 2009, Carey Storage repaid, in full, the $35.0 million outstanding under its $105.0 credit facility at a discount for 
$28.0 million and terminated the facility.  

Line of credit  

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. We currently intend to extend this line for an additional year.  

The line of credit provides for an annual interest rate, at our election, of either (i) LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 75 to 120 
basis points depending on our leverage, or (ii) the greater of the lender’s 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 December 31, 2010, 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 following ratios and benchmarks at the end of 
each quarter (the quoted variables are specifically defined in the credit agreement):  

(i)

  a “maximum leverage” ratio, which requires us to maintain a ratio for “total outstanding indebtedness” to “total value” of 60% or 

less;

(ii)   a “maximum secured debt” ratio, which requires us to maintain a ratio for “total secured outstanding indebtedness” (inclusive of 

permitted “indebtedness of subsidiaries”) to “total value” of 50% or less;

(iii)   a “minimum combined equity value,” which requires us to maintain a “total value” less “total outstanding indebtedness” of at 

least $550.0 million. This amount must be adjusted in the event of any securities offering by adding 85% of the “fair market 
value of all net offering proceeds”;

(iv)   a “minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,” which requires us to maintain a ratio for “adjusted total EBITDA” to “fixed charges” 

of 1.75 to 1.0;

(v)   a “maximum dividend payout,” which requires us to ensure that the total of “restricted payments” made in the current quarter, 

when added to the total for the three preceding fiscal quarters, shall not exceed 90% of “adjusted total EBITDA” for the four 
preceding fiscal quarters. “Restricted payments” include quarterly dividends and the total amount of shares repurchased by us in 
excess of $10.0 million per year; and

(vi)   a limitation on “recourse indebtedness,” which prohibits us from incurring additional secured indebtedness other than “non-

recourse indebtedness” or indebtedness that is recourse to us that exceeds $50.0 million or 5% of the “total value,” whichever is 
greater.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We were in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2010.  

Note 9. Settlement of SEC Investigation  

In March 2008, we entered into a settlement with the SEC with respect to all matters relating to a previously disclosed investigation. 
In anticipation of this settlement, we recognized a charge of $30.0 million and an offsetting $9.0 million tax benefit in the fourth 
quarter of 2007. As a result, the settlement is reflected as Decrease in settlement provision in our Consolidated Statement of Cash 
Flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. We also recognized a gain of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 related 
to an insurance reimbursement of certain professional services costs incurred in connection with the SEC investigation.  

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies  

At December 31, 2010, 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.  

Proposed Merger of Affiliates  

As discussed in Note 3, in connection with the Proposed Merger, we have agreed to purchase three properties from CPA®:14, in which 
we already have a joint venture interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $32.1 million, plus the assumption of approximately 
$64.7 million of indebtedness.  

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 
$300.0 million senior credit facility of CPA®:16 — Global, is not sufficient to enable CPA®:16 — Global to fulfill cash elections in 
the Proposed Merger by CPA®:14 shareholders, we have agreed to purchase a sufficient number of shares of CPA®:16 — Global 
stock from CPA®:16 — Global to enable it to pay such amounts to CPA®:14 shareholders. Assuming that holders of 50% of 
CPA®:14’s outstanding stock elect to receive cash in the Proposed Merger, then the maximum cash required by CPA®:16 — Global to 
purchase these shares would be approximately $416.1 million, based on the total shares of CPA®:14 outstanding at December 31, 
2010.  

The merger agreement also contains certain termination rights for both CPA®:14 and CPA®:16. If the merger agreement is terminated 
because the closing condition that CPA®:16 — Global obtain funding pursuant to the debt financing and, if applicable, the equity 
financing described above is not satisfied or waived, we have agreed to pay CPA®:16 — Global’s and CPA®:14’s out-of-pocket 
expenses up to $5.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively. We have also agreed to pay CPA®:14’s out-of-pocket expenses if the 
merger agreement is terminated due to more than 50% of CPA®:14’s shareholders electing to receive cash in the Proposed Merger or 
CPA®:14 failing to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. Costs incurred by CPA®:14 and CPA®:16 — Global related to the 
Proposed Merger totaled approximately $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, through December 31, 2010.  

In connection with the Proposed Merger, CAM has agreed to indemnify CPA®:16 — Global if it suffers certain losses arising out of a 
breach by CPA®:14 of its representations and warranties under the merger agreement and having a material adverse effect on 
CPA®:16 — Global after the Proposed Merger, up to the amount of fees received by CAM in connection with the Proposed Merger. 
We have evaluated the exposure related to this indemnification and believe the exposure to be minimal.

Note 11. 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.  

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 December 31, 2010 
and 2009 (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis  

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 years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 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 years ended 
December 31, 2010 and 2009. All of the impairment charges were measured using unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

Note 12. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments  

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 CPA® 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.  

Foreign Currency Exchange  

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in the Euro. We manage foreign currency exchange rate 
movements by generally placing both our debt obligation to the lender and the tenant’s rental obligation to us in the same currency, 
but we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate movements to the extent of the difference in the timing and amount of the rental 
obligation and the debt service. We also face challenges with repatriating cash from our foreign investments. We may encounter 
instances where it is difficult to repatriate cash because of jurisdictional restrictions or because repatriating cash may result in current 
or future tax liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings related to foreign currency transactions are 
included in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.  

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments  

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered, and 
do not plan to enter into, financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to derivative instruments that we enter 
into on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may own 
common stock warrants, granted to us by lessees when structuring lease transactions, that are considered to be derivative instruments. 
The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments are that a counterparty to a hedging arrangement could default on its 
obligation or that the credit quality of the counterparty may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign 
our side of the hedging transaction. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with counterparties 
that are large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to 
limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay 
certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, 
reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under 
the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a 
derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be 
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in OCI until 
the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cash flow hedges, the ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be 
immediately recognized in earnings.

See below for information on our purposes for entering into derivative instruments and for information on derivative instruments 
owned by unconsolidated ventures, which are excluded from the tables above.  

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps  

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 counterparties. Interest rate swaps, which effectively convert the variable rate debt service obligations of the loan to a fixed rate, 
are agreements in which one party exchanges a stream of interest payments for a counterparty’s stream of cash flow over a specific 
period. The notional, or face, amount on which the swaps are based is not exchanged. Interest rate caps limit the effective borrowing 
rate of variable rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. Our objective in using 
these derivatives is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

(a)   The applicable interest rates of the related loans were 5.0% and 4.3% at December 31, 2010; therefore, the interest rate caps were 

not being utilized at that date.

Other  

Amounts reported in OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our non-
recourse variable-rate debt. At December 31, 2010, we estimate that an additional $1.3 million will be reclassified as interest expense 
during the next twelve months.  

Some of the agreements we have with derivative counterparties contain certain credit contingent provisions that could result in a 
declaration of default against us regarding our derivative obligations if we either default or are capable of being declared in default on 
certain of our indebtedness. At December 31, 2010, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. The 
estimated fair value of our derivatives that were in a net liability position was $0.8 million at December 31, 2010, which includes 
accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk. If we had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 
2010, we could have been required to settle our obligations under these agreements at their termination value of $0.9 million.  

Portfolio Concentration Risk  

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 December 31, 2010, the majority of our directly-owned real estate properties were located in the U.S. (89%), with Texas (20%), 
California (14%), Arizona (11%) and Georgia (11%) representing the most significant geographic concentrations, based on percentage 
of our annualized contractual minimum base rent for the fourth quarter of 2010. At December 31, 2010, our directly-owned real estate 
properties contained concentrations in the following asset types: office (38%), industrial (30%) and warehouse/distribution (17%); and 
in the following tenant industries: retail stores (13%), business and commercial services (12%) and telecommunications (12%).

Note 13. Impairment Charges  

We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their 
carrying value may not be recoverable. For investments in real estate in which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-
step process to determine whether the investment is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the 
carrying value of the real estate to the future net undiscounted cash flow that we expect the real estate will generate, including any 
estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the real estate. If this amount is less than the carrying value, the real estate is considered 
to be impaired, and we then measure the loss as the excess of the carrying value of the real estate over the estimated fair value of the 
real estate, which is primarily determined using market information such as recent comparable sales or broker quotes. If relevant 
market information is not available or is not deemed appropriate, we then perform a future net cash flow analysis discounted for 
inherent risk associated with each investment.  

The following table summarizes impairment charges recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 (in 
thousands):

(a)   Impairment charges on our equity investments in real estate are included in Income from equity investments in real estate and 

CPA® REITs within the consolidated financial statements.

Impairment Charges on Real Estate  

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recognized impairment charges on various properties totaling $8.4 million 
and $0.9 million, respectively. These impairments were primarily the result of writing down the properties’ carrying values to their 
respective estimated fair values in connection with potential sales due to tenants vacating or not renewing their leases.  

Impairment Charges on Direct Financing Leases  

In connection with our annual review of the estimated residual values on our properties classified as net investments in direct 
financing leases, we determined that an other-than-temporary decline in estimated residual value had occurred at various properties 
due to market conditions, and the accounting for these direct financing leases was revised using the changed estimates. The changes in 
estimates resulted in the recognition of impairment charges totaling $1.1 million, $2.6 million and $0.5 million in 2010, 2009 and 
2008, respectively.  

Impairment Charges on Equity Investments in Real Estate  

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $1.4 million on a venture to 
reflect the decline in the estimated fair value of the venture’s underlying net assets in comparison with the carrying value of our 
interest in the venture.  

Impairment Charges on Properties Sold  

During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized impairment charges on properties sold totaling 
$5.9 million, $6.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These impairment charges, which are included in discontinued operations, 
were the result of reducing these properties’ carrying values to their estimated fair values (Note 17).

Distributions Payable  

We declared a quarterly distribution of $0.510 per share in December 2010, which was paid in January 2011 to shareholders of record 
at December 31, 2010; and a quarterly distribution of $0.502 per share and a special distribution of $0.30 per share in December 2009, 
which were paid in January 2010 to shareholders of record at December 31, 2009. The special distribution was approved by our board 
of directors as a result of an increase in our 2009 taxable income.  

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 officer’s interest is reflected at estimated 
redemption value for all periods presented. Redeemable noncontrolling interests, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets, 
reflect adjustments of ($0.5) million, $6.8 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to present the 
officer’s interest at redemption value. See Note 15.

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 per share for the periods indicated 
(in thousands, except share amounts):

Securities included in our diluted earnings per share determination consist of stock options, warrants and restricted stock. Securities 
totaling 1.8 million shares, 2.6 million shares and 2.4 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, 
respectively, were excluded from the earnings per share computations above as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  

Share Repurchase Programs  

In June 2007, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program through December 31, 2007 that was later extended through 
March 2008. During the term of the program, we repurchased a total of $30.7 million of our common stock. In October 2008, the 
Executive Committee of our board of directors (the “Executive Committee”) approved a program to repurchase up to $10.0 million of 
our common stock through December 15, 2008. During the term of this program, we repurchased a total of $8.5 million of our 
common stock. In December 2008, the Executive Committee approved a further program to repurchase up to $10.0 million of our 
common stock through March 4, 2009 or the date the maximum was reached, if earlier. During the term of this program, we 
repurchased a total of $9.3 million of our common stock. In March 2009, the Executive Committee approved an additional program to 
repurchase up to $3.5 million of our common stock through March 27, 2009 or the date the maximum was reached, if earlier. During 
the term of this program, we repurchased a total of $2.8 million of our common stock.  

Note 15. Stock-Based and Other Compensation  

Stock-Based Compensation  

At December 31, 2010, we maintained several stock-based compensation plans as described below. The total compensation expense 
(net of forfeitures) for these plans was $7.4 million, $9.3 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 
2008, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 included net forfeitures of 
$2.0 million as a result of the resignation of two senior officers. The tax benefit recognized by us related to these plans totaled 
$3.3 million, $4.2 million and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

2009 Incentive Plan and 1997 Incentive Plans  

We maintain the 1997 Share Incentive Plan (as amended, the “1997 Incentive Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to 6,200,000 
shares of our common stock. In June 2009, our shareholders approved the 2009 Share Incentive Plan (the “2009 Incentive Plan”) to 
replace the 1997 Incentive Plan, except with respect to outstanding contractual obligations under the 1997 Incentive Plan, so that no 
further awards can be made under that plan. The 2009 Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,600,000 shares of our common 
stock, of which 218,644 were issued or reserved for issuance upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs at December 31, 2010. The 1997 
Incentive Plan provided for the grant of (i) share options, which may or may not qualify as incentive stock options under the Code, (ii) 
performance shares or PSUs, (iii) dividend equivalent rights and (iv) restricted shares or RSUs. The 2009 Incentive Plan provides for 
the grant of (i) share options, (ii) restricted shares or RSUs, (iii) performance shares or PSUs, and (iv) dividend equivalent rights. The 
vesting of grants under both plans is accelerated upon a change in our control and under certain other conditions. During 2010, grants 
under our long-term incentive program (the “LTIP”) were made under the 2009 Incentive Plan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the Compensation Committee approved the LTIP and terminated further contributions to the Partnership Equity 
Unit Plan described below. In 2008, the Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive awards consisting of 153,900 RSUs 
and 148,250 PSUs under the LTIP through the 1997 Incentive Plan. In 2009, the Compensation Committee granted 126,050 RSUs and 
152,000 PSUs under the LTIP through the 1997 Incentive Plan. In 2010, the Compensation Committee granted 140,050 RSUs and 
159,250 PSUs under the LTIP through the 2009 Incentive Plan.  

As a result of issuing these awards, we currently expect to recognize compensation expense totaling approximately $18.1 million over 
the vesting period, of which $5.7 million, $4.2 million and $2.4 million was recognized during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  

2009 Non-Employee Directors Incentive Plan and 1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan  

We maintain the 1997 Non-Employee Directors’ Plan (the “1997 Directors’ Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to 300,000 
shares of our Common Stock. In June 2007, the 1997 Director’s Plan, which had been due to expire in October 2007, was extended 
through October 2017. In June 2009, our shareholders approved the 2009 Non-Employee Directors’ Incentive Plan (the “2009 
Directors’ Plan”) to replace the 1997 Directors’ Plan, except with respect to outstanding contractual obligations under the predecessor 
plan, so that no further awards can be made under that plan. The 1997 Directors’ Plan provided for the grant of (i) share options, 
which may or may not qualify as incentive stock options, (ii) performance shares, (iii) dividend equivalent rights and (iv) restricted 
shares. The 2009 Directors’ Plan authorizes the issuance of 325,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate and initially 
provided for the automatic annual grant of RSUs with a total value of $50,000 to each director. In the discretion of our board of 
directors, the awards may also be in the form of share options or restricted shares, or any combination of the permitted awards. Grants 
under the 2009 Directors Plan totaled 47,565 RSUs at December 31, 2010.  

Employee Share Purchase Plan  

We sponsor an Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of 
compensation, subject to certain limits, to purchase our common stock. Employees can purchase stock semi-annually at a price equal 
to 85% of the fair market value at certain plan defined dates. The ESPP is not material to our results of operations. Compensation 
expense under this plan for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, 
respectively.  

Carey Management Warrants  

In January 1998, the predecessor of Carey Management was granted warrants to purchase 2,284,800 shares of our common stock 
exercisable at $21 per share and warrants to purchase 725,930 shares exercisable at $23 per share as compensation for investment 
banking services in connection with structuring the consolidation of the CPA® Partnerships. During the year ended December 31, 
2008, a corporation wholly-owned by our Chairman, Wm. Polk Carey, exercised warrants under a 1998 grant (the “Carey 
Management Warrants”) to purchase a total of 695,930 shares of our common stock at $23 per share, for which we received proceeds 
of $16.1 million. All other Carey Management Warrants were exercised prior to 1998 or expired without value.  

Partnership Equity Unit Plan  

During 2003, we adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Partnership Equity Plan”, or “PEP”) under which a portion 
of any participating officer’s cash compensation in excess of designated amounts was deferred and the officer was awarded 
Partnership Equity Plan Units (“PEP Units”). The value of each PEP Unit was intended to correspond to the value of a share of the 
CPA® REIT designated at the time of such award. During 2005, further contributions to the initial PEP were terminated and it was 
succeeded by a second PEP. As amended, payment under these plans will occur at the earlier of December 16, 2013 (in the case of the 
initial PEP) or twelve years from the date of award. The award is fully vested upon grant. Each of the PEPs is a deferred compensation 
plan and is therefore considered to be outside the scope of current accounting guidance for stock-based compensation and subject to 
liability award accounting. The value of each PEP Unit will be adjusted to reflect the underlying appraised value of the designated 
CPA® REIT. Additionally, each PEP Unit will be entitled to distributions equal to the distribution rate of the CPA® REIT. All 
issuances of PEP Units, changes in the fair value of PEP Units and distributions paid are included in our compensation expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The value of the plans is reflected at fair value each quarter and is subject to changes in the fair value of the PEP units. Compensation 
expense under these Plans for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.9 million, 
respectively. Further contributions to the second PEP were terminated at December 31, 2007; however, this termination did not affect 
any awardees’ rights pursuant to awards granted under this plan. In December 2008, participants in the PEPs were required to make an 
election to either (i) remain in the PEPs, (ii) receive cash for their PEP Units (available to former employees only) or (iii) convert their 
PEP Units to fully vested RSUs (available to current employees only) to be issued under the 1997 Incentive Plan on June 15, 2009. 
Substantially all of the PEP participants elected to receive cash or convert their existing PEP Units to RSUs. In January 2009, we paid 
$2.0 million in cash to former employee participants who elected to receive cash for their PEP Units. As a result of the election to 
convert PEP Units to RSUs, we derecognized $9.3 million of our existing PEP liability and recorded a deferred compensation 
obligation within W. P. Carey members’ equity in the same amount during the second quarter of 2009. The PEP participants that 
elected RSUs received a total of 356,416 RSUs, which was equal to the total value of their PEP Units divided by the closing price of 
our common stock on June 15, 2009. The PEP participants electing to receive RSUs were required to defer receipt of the underlying 
shares of our common stock for a minimum of two years. While employed by us, these participants are entitled to receive dividend 
equivalents equal to the amount of dividends paid on the underlying common stock during the deferral period. At December 31, 2010, 
we are obligated to issue 356,416 shares of our common stock underlying these RSUs, which is recorded within W. P. Carey 
members’ equity as a Deferred compensation obligation of $10.5 million. The remaining PEP liability pertaining to participants who 
elected to remain in the plans was $0.8 million at December 31, 2010.  

WPCI Stock Options  

On June 30, 2003, WPCI granted an incentive award to two officers of WPCI consisting of 1,500,000 restricted units, representing an 
approximate 13% interest in WPCI, and 1,500,000 options for WPCI units with a combined fair value of $2.5 million at that date. 
Both the options and restricted units vested ratably over five years, with full vesting occurring December 31, 2007. During 2008, the 
officers exercised all of their 1,500,000 options to purchase 1,500,000 units of WPCI at $1 per unit. Upon the exercise of the WPCI 
options, the officers had a total interest of approximately 23% in WPCI. The terms of the vested restricted units and units received in 
connection with the exercise of options of WPCI by noncontrolling interest holders provided that the units could be redeemed, 
commencing December 31, 2012 and thereafter, solely in exchange for our shares and that any redemption would be subject to a third 
party valuation of WPCI. In connection with a reorganization of WPCI into three separate entities in 2008, the officers also owned 
equivalent interests in the three new entities.  

In December 2009, one of those officers resigned from W. P. Carey, WPCI and all affiliated entities pursuant to a mutually agreed 
separation. As part of this separation, we effected the purchase of all of the interests in WPCI and certain related entities held by that 
officer for cash, at a negotiated fair market value of $15.4 million. The tax effect of approximately $4.8 million relating to the 
acquisition of this interest, which resulted in an increase in contributed capital, was recorded as an adjustment to Listed shares in the 
consolidated balance sheets. The remaining officer currently has a total interest of approximately 7.7% in each of WPCI and the 
related entities.

Options granted under the 1997 Incentive Plan generally have a 10-year term and generally vest in four equal annual installments. 
Options granted under the 1997 Directors’ Plan have a 10-year term and vest generally over three years from the date of grant. We did 
not issue any option awards during 2010 and 2009. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years 
ended December 31, 2008 was $2.42. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 
and 2008 was $2.8 million, $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  

At December 31, 2010, approximately $7.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based 
compensation awards was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.  

We have the ability and intent to issue shares upon stock option exercises. Historically, we have issued authorized but unissued 
common stock to satisfy such exercises. Cash received from stock option exercises and purchases under the ESPP during the years 
ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3.7 million, $1.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

(a)   The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $5.0 million, $7.2 million 

and $4.4 million, respectively.

(b)   Vesting and payment of the PSUs is conditional on certain company and market performance goals being met during the relevant 
three-year performance period. The ultimate number of PSUs to be vested will depend on the extent to which the performance 
goals are met and can range from zero to three times the original awards. Pursuant to a review of our current and expected 
performance versus the performance goals, we revised our estimate of the ultimate number of certain of the PSUs to be vested. 
As a result, we recorded an adjustment in 2010 and 2009 to reflect the number of shares expected to be issued when the PSUs 
vest.

At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the ultimate number of PSUs we expect to vest based upon the extent to which we 
have met and expect to meet the performance goals and where appropriate revise our estimate and associated expense. Upon vesting, 
the RSUs and PSUs may be converted into shares of our common stock. Both the RSUs and PSUs carry dividend equivalent rights. 
Dividend equivalent rights on RSUs are paid in cash on a quarterly basis whereas dividend equivalent rights on PSUs accrue during 
the performance period and may be converted into additional shares of common stock at the conclusion of the performance period to 
the extent the PSUs vest. Dividend equivalent rights are accounted for as a reduction to retained earnings to the extent that the awards 
are expected to vest. For awards that are not expected to vest or do not ultimately vest, dividend equivalent rights are accounted for as 
additional compensation expense.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Fair Value Assumptions  

We estimate the fair value of our options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, which involves the use of 
assumptions that are used in estimating the fair value of share-based payment awards. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the 
contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based upon 
the trailing quarterly distribution for the four quarters preceding the award expressed as a percentage of our stock price. Expected 
volatilities are based on a review of the five- and ten-year historical volatility of our stock as well as the historical volatilities and 
implied volatilities of common stock and exchange-traded options of selected comparable companies. The expected term of awards 
granted is derived from an analysis of the remaining life of our awards giving consideration to their maturity dates and remaining time 
to vest. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of 
employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. We did not grant any stock 
option or warrant awards during 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the following assumptions and weighted 
average fair values were used:  

Risk-free interest rates 
Dividend yields 
Expected volatility 
Expected term in years

Year ended
  December 31, 2008
3.3% – 3.8%
5.4% – 6.3%

6.3

We sponsor a qualified profit-sharing plan and trust covering substantially all of our full-time employees who have attained age 21, 
worked a minimum of 1,000 hours and completed one year of service. We are under no obligation to contribute to the plan and the 
amount of any contribution is determined by and at the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors can authorize 
contributions to a maximum of 15% of an eligible participant’s compensation, limited to less than $0.1 million annually per 
participant. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, amounts expensed for contributions to the trust were 
$3.3 million, $3.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The profit-sharing plan is a deferred compensation plan and is therefore 
considered to be outside the scope of current accounting guidance for stock-based compensation.  

Other  

We have employment contracts with certain senior executives. These contracts provide for severance payments in the event of 
termination under certain conditions including a change of control. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recognized severance costs 
totaling approximately $1.1 million, $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to several former employees. Such costs are 
included in General and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Included in income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are accrued income taxes totaling 
$6.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and deferred income taxes totaling $35.3 million and $37.8 million, respectively.  

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.  

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2010, we reversed unrecognized tax benefits of $0.6 million (net of federal benefits), including all related 
interest totaling $0.1 million, as they were no longer required.  

Our tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Such audits can often take years to complete and settle. The tax years 2007-
2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.  

Carey REIT II owns our real estate assets and has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the 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 17. 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.  

2010 — We sold seven properties for a total of $14.6 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on these sales totaling 
$0.5 million, excluding impairment charges totaling $5.9 million and $6.0 million that were previously recognized in 2010 and 2009, 
respectively.  

2009 — We sold five properties for $43.5 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on sale of $7.7 million, excluding 
impairment charges of $0.9 million recognized in 2009, $0.5 million recognized in 2008 and $0.6 million recognized in 2007.  

2008 —In June 2008, we received $3.8 million from a former tenant in connection with the resolution of a lawsuit.

of the year. The principal and accrued interest thereon at 1.15% per annum are due to us no later than March 11, 2011. We funded the 
loan with proceeds from our line of credit.

  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Item 9A.  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 SEC’s 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 company’s 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 December 31, 2010, have concluded that our 
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 2010 at a 
reasonable level of assurance.  

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-
15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, 
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of 
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.  

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, we 
used criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, we concluded that, at December 31, 2010, our internal control over 
financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.  

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2010 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers 
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report in Item 8.  

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.  

Item 9B.   Other Information.
