Item 1. Business.

The Company

            Carey Diversified LLC (the "Company" or "Carey Diversified") is a
dynamic, growth-oriented organization which intends to increase shareholder
value by acquiring net leased properties and making opportunistic investments
utilizing the core competencies of the Company's management (which include
in-depth credit analysis, asset valuation and creative structuring). The Company
also seeks to optimize its existing portfolio through the expansion of existing
properties and strategic property sales. As a perpetual life, growth-oriented
company, the Company will continue to own Properties as long as it believes
ownership helps the Company attain its objectives.

            The Company's objective is to increase funds from operations through
prudent management of its real estate assets and opportunistic investments.

            The Company presently intends to:

            o Seek additional investment and other opportunities that leverage
            core management skills (which include in-depth credit analysis,
            asset valuation and sophisticated structuring techniques);

            o optimize the current portfolio of properties through expansion of
            existing properties, timely dispositions and favorable lease
            modifications;

            o utilize its enhanced size and access to capital to refinance
            existing debt; and

            o increase the Company's access to capital.

            The Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on
October 15, 1996. On January 1, 1998, the Company completed its merger with the
nine CPA(R) Partnerships and now is the general partner and owner of
substantially all of the former limited partner interests in those partnerships.
The Company is expected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. These
nine Partnerships raised equity capital aggregating approximately $400 million
and invested the net proceeds primarily in net leased properties. As of January
1, 1998, the Company, through its subsidiaries, owned 198 properties in 37
states. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 50 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York, New York 10020.

            Carey Management LLC (the "Manager") provides both strategic and
day-to-day management for the Company, including research, investment analysis,
acquisition and development services, asset management, capital funding
services, disposition of assets and administrative services.

Acquisition Strategies:

            The Manager has a well-developed process with established procedures
and systems for acquiring net leased property. As a result of its reputation and
experience in the industry and the contacts maintained by its professionals, the
Manager has a presence in the net lease market that has provided it with the
opportunity to invest in a significant number of transactions on an ongoing
basis. The Company seeks to utilize the Manager's presence in the net lease
market to acquire additional properties in transactions with both new and
current tenants. In evaluating opportunities for the Company, the Manager
carefully examines the credit, management and other attributes of the tenant and
the importance of the property under consideration to the tenant's operations.
The Company believes that the Manager has one of the most extensive underwriting
processes in the industry and has an experienced staff of professionals involved
with underwriting transactions. The Manager seeks to identify those prospective
tenants whose creditworthiness is likely to improve over time. The Company
believes that the experience of its management in structuring sale-leaseback
transactions to meet the needs of a prospective tenant enables the Manager to
obtain a higher return for a given level of risk than would typically be
available by purchasing a property subject to an existing lease.


                                      -1-
<PAGE>   3

            The Manager's strategy in structuring its net lease investments for
the Company is to:

            o     combine the stability and security of long-term lease
                  payments, including rent increases, with the appreciation
                  potential inherent in the ownership of real estate;

            o     enhance current returns by utilizing varied lease structures;

            o     reduce credit risk by diversifying its investments by tenant,
                  type of facility, geographic location and tenant industry; and

            o     increase potential returns by obtaining equity enhancements
                  from the tenant when possible, such as warrants to purchase
                  tenant common stock.

Transaction Origination:

            In analyzing potential acquisitions, the Manager reviews and
structures many aspects of a transaction, including the tenant, the real estate
and the lease, to determine whether a potential acquisition can be structured to
satisfy the Company's acquisition criteria. The aspects of a transaction which
are reviewed and structured by the Manager include the following:

Tenant Evaluation. The Manager subjects each potential tenant to an extensive
evaluation of its credit, management, position within its industry, operating
history and profitability. The Manager seeks tenants it believes will have
stable or improving credit. By leasing properties to such tenants, the Company
can generally charge rent that is higher than the rent charged to tenants with
recognized credit and, thereby, enhance its current return from such properties
as compared with properties leased to companies whose credit potential has
already been recognized by the market. Furthermore, if a tenant's credit does
improve, the value of the Company's properties leased to such tenants will
likely increase (if all other factors affecting value remain unchanged). The
Manager may also seek to enhance the likelihood of a tenant's lease obligations
being satisfied, such as through a letter of credit or a guaranty of lease
obligations from the tenant's corporate parent. Such credit enhancement provides
the Company with additional financial security.

Leases with Increasing Rents. The Manager seeks to include clauses in the
Company's leases that provide for increases in rent over the term of the leases.
These increases are generally tied to increases in certain indices such as the
consumer price index, in the case of retail stores participation in gross sales
above a stated level, mandated rental increases on specific dates and by other
methods.

Properties Important to Tenant Operations. The Manager, on behalf of the
Company, generally seeks to acquire properties with operations that are
essential or important to the ongoing operations of the tenant. The Company
believes that such properties provide better protection in the event that a
tenant files for bankruptcy, because leases on properties essential or important
to the operations of a bankrupt tenant are less likely to be rejected and,
thereby, terminated by a bankrupt tenant. The Manager also seeks to assess the
income, cash flow and profitability of the business conducted at the property,
so that, if the tenant is unable to operate its business, the Company can either
continue operating the business conducted at the property or re-lease the
property to another entity in the industry which can operate the property
profitably.

Lease Provisions that Enhance and Protect Value. When appropriate, the Manager
attempts to include provisions in the Company's leases that require the
Company's consent to certain tenant activity or require the tenant to satisfy
certain operating tests. These provisions include, for example, operational and
financial covenants of the tenant, prohibitions on a change in control of the
tenant and indemnification from the tenant against environmental and other
contingent liabilities. Including these provisions in its leases enables the
Company to protect its investment from changes in the operating and financial
characteristics of a tenant that may impact its ability to satisfy its
obligations to the Company or could reduce the value of the Company's
Properties.



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   4

Diversification. The Manager attempts to diversify the Company's portfolio of
properties to avoid dependence on any one particular tenant, type of facility,
geographic location or tenant industry. By diversifying its portfolio, the
Company reduces the adverse effect on the Company of a single underperforming
investment or a downturn in any particular industry.

            The Manager employs a variety of other strategies and practices in
connection with the Company's acquisitions. These strategies include attempting
to obtain equity enhancements in connection with transactions. Typically, such
equity enhancements involve warrants to purchase stock of the tenant to which
the property is leased or the stock of the parent of the tenant. In certain
instances, the Company grants to the tenant a right to purchase the property
leased by the tenant, but generally the option purchase price will be not less
than the fair market value of the property. The Manager's practices include
performing evaluations of the physical condition of properties and performing
environmental surveys in an attempt to determine potential environmental
liabilities associated with a property prior to its acquisition.

            While the Company invests in properties subject to triple net leases
(i.e., leases in which the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes and
assessments, repairs and maintenance, insurance and other expenses relating to
the property and has the duty to restore in case of casualty), the Company may,
in its discretion, acquire properties subject to leases under which it has more
responsibilities than would normally be the case under a triple net lease and
may make other investments.

Acquisition and Underwriting Process:

            The Manager's Acquisition and Asset Management Department has the
primary responsibility for the origination and negotiation of acquisitions of
properties. Members of this department will identify potential acquisitions and
conduct negotiations with sellers and tenants. Members of the Acquisition and
Asset Management Department generally structure the terms of any financing the
Company may use to acquire a property.

            As a transaction is structured, it is evaluated by the Chairman of
the Investment Committee with respect to the potential tenant's credit, business
prospects, position within its industry and other characteristics important to
the long-term value of the property and the capability of the tenant to meet its
lease obligations. Before a property is acquired, the transaction is reviewed by
the Investment Committee to ensure that it satisfies the Company's investment
criteria. Aspects of the transaction that are typically reviewed by the
Investment Committee include the expected financial returns, the
creditworthiness of the tenant, the real estate characteristics and the lease
terms.

            The Investment Committee is not directly involved in originating or
negotiating potential acquisitions, but instead functions as a separate and
final step in the acquisition process. The Manager places special emphasis on
having experienced individuals serve on its Investment Committee and does not
invest in a transaction unless it is approved by the Investment Committee.

            The Company believes that the Investment Committee review process
gives it a unique, competitive advantage over other unaffiliated net lease
companies because of the substantial experience and perspective that the
Investment Committee has in evaluating the blend of corporate credit, real
estate and lease terms that combine to make an acceptable risk.

            The following people serve on the Investment Committee:

George E. Stoddard, Chairman, was formerly responsible for the direct corporate
investments of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and has
been involved with the CPA(R) Programs for over 16 years.

Frank J. Hoenemeyer, Vice Chairman, was formerly Vice Chairman, Director and
Chief Investment Officer of The Prudential Insurance Company of America. As
Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Hoenemeyer was responsible for all of Prudential's
investments, including stocks, bonds, private placements, real estate and
mortgages.

Lawrence R. Klein is Benjamin Franklin Professor of Economics Emeritus at the
University of Pennsylvania and its Wharton School. Dr. Klein has been awarded
the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and currently advises
various governments and government agencies.

Asset Management:

            The Company believes that effective management of net lease assets
is essential to maintaining and enhancing 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. The Company believes that the Manager's
knowledgeable and experienced professionals are well qualified in these areas of
asset management.

            The Manager monitors, on an ongoing basis, compliance by tenants
with their lease obligations and other factors that could affect the financial
performance of any of its Properties. Such monitoring includes 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. The Manager reviews
financial statements of its tenants and undertakes physical inspections of the
condition and maintenance of its Properties. Additionally, the Manager
periodically analyzes each tenant's financial condition, the industry in which
each tenant operates and each tenant's relative strength in its industry.

Financing Strategies:

            Consistent with its investment policies, the Company uses leverage
when available on favorable terms in connection with the acquisition at
additional net lease property. In March 1998, the Company obtained a credit
facility of $150,000,000, which it intends to use primarily to acquire
additional properties and to pay off higher interest debt. The Manager will
continually seek opportunities and consider alternative financing techniques to
refinance debt, reduce interest expense or improve its capital structure.

Environmental Matters:

            Under various federal, state and local environmental laws,
regulations and ordinances, current or former owners of real estate, as well as
certain other categories of parties, may be required to investigate and clean up
hazardous or toxic chemicals, substances or waste or petroleum product or waste
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials") releases on, under, in or from such
property, and may be held liable to governmental entities or to third parties
for certain damages and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such
parties in connection with the release or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials. Such laws typically impose responsibility and liability without
regard to whether the owner knew of or was responsible for the presence of
Hazardous Materials, and the liability under such laws has been interpreted to
be joint and several under certain circumstances. The Company's leases generally
provide that the tenant is responsible for all environmental liability and for
compliance with environmental regulations relating to the tenant's operations.
Such a contractual arrangement does not eliminate the Company's statutory
liability or preclude claims against the Company by governmental authorities or
persons who are not a party to such an arrangement. Contractual arrangements in
the Company's leases may provide a basis for the Company to recover from the
tenant damages or costs for which the Company has been found liable.

            The cost of investigation and cleanup of Hazardous Materials on,
under, in or from property can be substantial, and the fact that the property
has had a release of Hazardous Materials, even if remediated, may adversely
affect the value of the property and the owner's ability to sell or lease the
property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, some
environmental laws create a lien on a property in favor of the government for
damages and costs it incurs in connection with the release or threatened release
of Hazardous Materials, and certain state environmental laws provide that such a
lien has priority over all other encumbrances on the property or that a lien can
be imposed on other property owned by the responsible party. Finally, the
presence of Hazardous Materials on a property could result in a claim by a
private party for personal injury or a claim by a neighboring property owned for
property damage.

            Other federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the
removal or encapsulation of asbestos-containing material when such material is
in poor condition or in the event of building remodeling, renovation or
demolition. Still other federal, state and local statutes, regulations and
ordinances may require the removal or upgrading of underground storage tanks
that are out of service or out of compliance. In


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   6

addition, federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances may impose
prohibitions, limitations and operational standards on, or require permits,
approvals and notifications in connection with, discharge of wastewater and
other waste pollutants, the emission of air pollutants and operation of air
pollution equipment, the generation and management of Hazardous Materials, and
workplace health and safety. Non-compliance with environmental or health and
safety requirements may result in the need to cease or alter operations at a
property, which could affect the financial health of a tenant and its ability to
make lease payments. Furthermore, if there is a violation in connection with a
tenant's operation, it is possible that the Company, as the owner of the
property, could be held accountable by governmental authorities for such
violation and could be required to correct the violation.

            The Company typically undertakes an investigation of potential
environmental risks when evaluating an acquisition. Where warranted, Phase I and
Phase II assessments are performed by independent environmental consulting and
engineering firms. Phase I assessments do not involve subsurface testing,
whereas Phase II assessments involve some degree of soil and/or groundwater
testing. The Company may acquire a property that is known to have had a release
of Hazardous Materials in the past, subject to a determination of the level of
risk and potential cost of remediation. The Company normally requires property
sellers to indemnify it fully against any environmental problem existing as of
the date of purchase. Additionally, the Company normally structures its leases
to require the tenant to assume all responsibility for environmental compliance
or environmental remediation relating to the tenants operations and to provide
that non-compliance with environmental laws is deemed a lease default. In
certain instances, the Company may also require a cash reserve, a letter of
credit or a guarantee from the tenant, the tenant's parent company or a third
party to assure lease compliance and funding of remediation. The value of any of
these protections depends on the amount of the collateral and/or financial
strength of the Company providing the protection.

            Some of the properties are located in industrial areas where current
or historic industrial uses of adjacent properties may threaten or have caused
contamination at the Properties. In addition, the Company is aware of
environmental conditions at certain of the Properties that require some degree
of remediation. All such environmental conditions are primarily the
responsibility of the respective tenants under their leases. The Company
believes that its tenants are taking or will soon be taking all required
remedial action with respect to any material environmental conditions at the
Properties. However, the Company could be responsible for some or all of these
costs if one or more of the tenants fails to perform its obligations or to
indemnify the Company. In the event that the Company absorbs a portion of the
costs to comply with environmental statutes, the Company believes that the
ultimate resolution of such environmental matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of
operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the environmental
assessments that have been conducted at the Properties disclosed all
environmental liabilities, that any prior owner did not create a material
environmental condition not known to the Company, or that a material condition
does not otherwise exist as to any of the Properties.

Competition:

            The Company faces competition for the acquisition of properties from
insurance companies, commercial banks, credit companies, pension funds, private
individuals, investment companies, REITs and other real estate finance
companies. The Company also faces competition from institutions or investors
that provide or arrange for other types of financing through private or public
offerings of equity or debt and from traditional bank financings. The Company
believes that its 20 years of continuous market presence through the CPA(R)
Partnerships, the experience of its management and its ability to underwrite
credit and asset-based investment opportunities allow it to compete effectively.

Employees:

            The Company has one employee who serves as its Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and 10 Directors. The Manager has over 60 officers, employees
and directors who will be involved in the operations of the Company.

<PAGE>   7

Year 2000 Issues:

            The Manager has responsibility for maintaining the Company's books
and records. An affiliate of the Manager has responsibility for servicing the
computer systems used in maintaining such books and records. In its preliminary
assessment of Year 2000 issues the affiliate believes that such issues will not
have a material effect on the Company's operations; however, such assessment has
not been completed. The Company relies on its bank, The Chase Manhattan Bank,
and transfer agent Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, Inc., for certain
computer-related services and has initiated discussions to determine whether
they are addressing Year 2000 issues that might affect the Company.

Insurance:

            Under their leases, the Company's tenants will generally be
responsible for providing adequate insurance on the properties leased. The
Company believes the Properties are covered by adequate fire, flood and property
insurance provided by reputable companies. However, some of the Properties are
not covered by disaster-type insurance with respect to certain hazards (such as
earthquakes) for which coverage is not available or available only at rates
which, in the opinion of the Company, are prohibitive.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

            Carey Diversified LLC ("Carey Diversified" or the "Company") which
commenced public trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 21, 1998 was
organized to combine and continue the business of the nine Corporate Property
Associates real estate limited partnerships. The Partnerships own and manage a
diverse portfolio of real properties, generally leased to corporate tenants
pursuant to long-term net leases. With the Consolidation of the nine CPA(R)
Partnerships into Carey Diversified, effective January 1, 1998, the Company will
use the corporate finance, asset valuation and structuring capabilities of its
management team to expand the existing net lease Partnership portfolio and to
use such expertise, as appropriate, to engage in new lines of business.

            From 1979 through 1991, the CPA(R)Partnerships raised approximately
$400 million of equity through public offerings of Limited Partnership Units.
Each CPA(R) Partnership was structured so that holders of limited partnership
units anticipated a return of their investment over the finite life of the
Partnership with a disposition strategy that included the sale of assets and
liquidation of the Partnership. Accordingly, each CPA(R) Partnership was
structured so that there would be no additional raising of equity after the
initial offering, nor, after a defined period, reinvestment of sales proceeds in
new properties.

            This structure restricted the ability of a CPA(R) Partnership to
increase its asset base after the investment of offering proceeds was completed.
As a Partnership disposed of a property, its asset base and income from
continuing operations would decrease. Further, the stated objective of a
Partnership was to use its cash flow to pay distributions at an increasing rate
rather than for reinvestment. In contrast, the Company is an infinite life
entity that has the ability to raise additional equity capital either through
public stock or debt offerings or by exchanging shares in the Company to acquire
properties. Management will have greater flexibility in evaluating whether
shareholder value will better benefit from the reinvestment of a portion of its
cash flow in acquiring properties or in increasing its rate of distributions.
The historical results of operations described below may not reflect future
operating results because the flexibility to pursue strategies to increase the
Company's asset base was not possible under the constraints of the finite life
and static structure of the CPA(R) Partnerships.

            Limited Partners in the CPA(R) Partnerships that elected to receive
Listed Shares in the Company in exchange for Limited Partnership Units were
issued 23,225,967 Listed Shares on the effective date. The listing of the Listed
Shares on the New York Stock Exchange provides the holders thereof with
liquidity. The allocation of Listed Shares was based on Total Exchange Value as
determined pursuant to an independent valuation.

            Results of Operations:

            Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 decreased by
$4,734,000 as compared with net income for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
decrease was due to increases in general and administrative and property
expenses, property writedowns, a decrease in earnings from the Company's hotel
operations and a decrease in gains on asset dispositions. The effect of these
items was partially offset by an increase in other income and decreases in
interest expense and depreciation. Lease revenues (rental income and interest
income from direct financing leases) were substantially unchanged.

            The increase in general and administrative costs was primarily the
result of administrative costs incurred in connection with the evaluation of
Partnership liquidity alternatives and the structuring of the Consolidation. The
increase in property expenses reflected (i) higher management fees, determined
in accordance with the Agreement of Partnership of each CPA(R) Partnership, (ii)
increased legal fees as a result of the CPA(R) Partnerships seeking to preserve
its interests in both existing bankruptcy claims against former and current
lessees and disputes with current lessees, (iii) leasing commissions paid to
brokers in the remarketing of properties, (iv) operating costs for those
properties that are not subject to net leases and (v) charges incurred in
connection with evaluating reserves for uncollected rent. The increase in
property writedowns reflected the writedown of a property held for sale pursuant
to the exercise of a purchase option to an amount equal to the estimated
proceeds to be received on sale and the evaluation of the fair value on two
other properties during the year. A full year's lease revenues from leases with
Sports & Recreation, Inc. and Excel Communications, Inc., an increase by the
United States Postal Service for space leased at the property in Bloomingdale,
Illinois from 34% to 52% of such leasable space, the benefit from the 1996 lease
modification and extension agreement with Hughes Markets, inc. and several rent
increases, generally based on formulas 


                                      -15-
<PAGE>   17

indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index, offset the reduction in lease
revenues resulting from the sale of properties in 1996 and the expiration of the
Advanced System Applications lease at the Bloomingdale property

            The decrease in earnings from hotel operations resulted from the
disposition of two hotel properties in 1996 as earnings for the three remaining
hotels operated by the Company and located in Alpena, Petosky and Livonia,
Michigan increased in 1997. For the three remaining hotels, operating earnings
increased by more than $400,000, or approximately 12%, as a result of a 3.5%
increase in revenues with no change in operating expenses. The increase in
revenues reflects moderate increases in both overall occupancy and average room
rates. Other income included $2,467,000, received as distributions in bankruptcy
claims from former tenants and equity income of $2,076,000 including $1,472,000
from the Company's equity interest in the operating partnership of American
General Hospitality Corporation, a publicly traded real estate investment trust
specializing in hotel properties. The decrease in interest expense was the
result of decreasing mortgage balances resulting from both prepayments and
scheduled amortizing payments of mortgage principal. The decrease in
depreciation was due to the disposition of properties in both 1997 and 1996.

            Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased by
$7,275,000 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995, Several
nonrecurring items; however, are reflected in the results for 1995 including
$3,207,000 of extraordinary gains from the extinguishments of mortgage debt and
a gain of $11,499,000 on the settlement of a dispute with The Leslie Fay
Company. Excluding extraordinary items and other gains for the comparable years,
income (including the effect of minority interest) would have reflected an
increase in earnings of $7,173,000 for 1996. The increase in income, as
adjusted, was the result of lower interest, depreciation and general and
administrative expenses, and a higher level of property writedowns in 1995 as
compared with 1996 and was partially offset by lower hotel earnings. Lease
revenues decreased by approximately 2%, primarily due to the sale of properties.

            The decrease in interest expense was due to the prepayment of
several mortgages in both 1995 and 1996 and the continuing amortization of the
Company's mortgage debt. The decrease in depreciation reflected the effect of
property sales, while the decrease in general and administrative expenses was
due to costs incurred in 1995 for state taxes and nonrecurring costs related to
the relocation of the CPA(R) Partnerships' offices. The property writedown in
1996 related to the hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota and establishing its fair
value at an amount equal to its anticipated sales price. Hotel earnings
decreased by $1,058,000 reflecting the exchange of the Kenner, Louisiana Holiday
Inn New Orleans Airport for units in the operating partnership of American
General Hospitality in July 1996 and the sale of the Rapid City Holiday Inn in
October 1996. Hotel earnings at the three remaining hotels increased with such
increases ranging from 7% to 13%.

            The Company exchanged its ownership interests in the Kenner hotel
for 960,672 units of the American General Hospitality operating partnership.
Management's expectation was that the exchange would eliminate the uncertainty
and fluctuation in cash flow related to operating a single hotel by a CPA(R)
Partnership as the operating partnership owns a diversified portfolio of hotel
properties and continues to acquire properties. The Company has the right to
exchange its units on a one-for-one basis for shares of American General
Hospitality common stock. While conversion of units to shares would be taxable
to holders of Listed Shares, the shares would be freely transferable on
conversion. The quoted market value of a share of common stock at December 31,
1997 was $26 3/4 resulting in an aggregate value as of that date of
approximately $25,700,000, if converted.

            Gains realized in 1996 included a gain of $4,408,000 on the sale of
a warehouse property in Hodgkins, Illinois leased to GATX Logistics, Inc. as
well as the sale of the Rapid City hotel. Management sold the Rapid City
property, after concluding that the cost of upgrading the hotel to meet the core
modernization plan of Holiday Inn and retain the Holiday Inn affiliation would
not provide an adequate return on the additional investment. Revenues and
profitability of the Rapid City operation were expected to decrease from any
change in hotel chain affiliations.

            Lease revenues of the Company are expected to decrease in 1998 as a
result of the expiration of a lease in June 1997 with Advanced System
Applications, the termination of the Gould, Inc. lease in November 1997 granted
in exchange for a settlement payment by Gould and the expiration of a lease with
Hughes, in April 1998. While revenue from these lessees represented
approximately 12% of 1997 lease revenues, both the Hughes and Advanced System
Applications lease had been renegotiated in prior years at rents substantially
in excess of market rates. The Hughes lease provided for a final rental payment
of


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   18

$3,500,000 which the Company had initially anticipated as being needed for
retrofitting the special purpose property and remarketing costs. Because the
Company has entered into a lease with Copeland Beverage Group for that property
which will go into effect when Hughes Markets vacates, the Company will not need
to use the final payment from Hughes as initially anticipated. In addition, the
annual rent from the Copeland Beverage lease will approximate the rents received
from Hughes prior to the two-year extension term. Advanced System Applications
renegotiated its lease in 1994 in order to allow it to complete its lease
obligation in 1997 rather than 2003. The rents paid during this abbreviated term
were intended to provide the Company with a significant proportion of the rents
that would have been due over the remainder of the original term. A portion of
the increased rents were used to amortize fully the loan on the Bloomingdale
property so that the carrying costs of the property do not include any debt
service obligations. The Company is remarketing the remaining leasable space.
Although the Gould lease was originally scheduled to expire in August 1999, the
Company permitted an early termination in consideration for a lump sum payment
approximately of $1,830,000, received in January 1998, representing
approximately 80% of remaining rents for what would have been the remaining
lease term. Lockheed Martin Corporation has entered into a lease for a portion
of the vacated space. While it will be a challenge to fully replace the rents
from Hughes, Advanced System Applications and Gould, these transactions
reflected agreements that were negotiated for increased rents and/or lump sum
settlement amounts. Since January 1, 1998, the Company has entered into net
leases with America West Holdings Corporation for a new corporate headquarters
in Tempe, Arizona and Federal Express Corporation for an office building complex
in Collierville, Tennessee When these build-to-suit projects are completed, they
are expected to provide annual rents of up to $10,000,000. As described in the
overview, the use of resources to build the asset base is a direct result of the
Consolidation. Several lessees have purchase options that are exercisable over
the next several years. The Company will now have the option of investing the
proceeds from any such sales in new properties.

            In connection with the Consolidation, the operations of the Livonia,
Michigan hotel and related license and franchise agreements have been
transferred to an affiliate, Livho, Inc. in 1998. Based on Management's
analysis, retaining direct control of the Livonia hotel could have adverse tax
consequences for holders of Listed Shares under the qualification regulations
for publicly-traded partnerships. The lease with Livho will initially provide
annual rent of $2,348,000.

            The expense structure of the Company may be expected to change as a
result of the Consolidation. There were certain costs in maintaining nine
publicly-registered real estate limited partnerships that mitigated against any
benefit that could be achieved from economies of scale. Such benefits are more
likely to be available to the Company in the future. Certain of these
efficiencies will not be realized until the interests of the Subsidiary
Partnership Unitholders in the CPA(R) Partnerships are liquidated.

            Because of the long-term nature of the Company's net leases,
inflation and changing prices should not unfavorably affect the Company's
revenues and net income or have an impact on the continuing operations of the
Company's properties. The Company's net leases have rent increases based on the
Consumer Price Index and may have caps on such CPI increases, or sales
overrides, which should increase operating revenues in the future. The moderate
increases in the CPI over the past several years will affect the rate of such
future rent increases. Management believes that hotel operations will not be
significantly impacted by changing prices. In addition, Management believes that
reasonable increases in hotel operating costs may be partially or entirely
offset by increases in room rates.

            Liquidity and Capital Resources:

            The CPA(R) Partnerships' portfolio of properties was acquired with
funds from the offering of each Partnership and with financing provided by
limited recourse mortgage debt. Cash flow from operations was used to pay
scheduled principal payment obligations on the mortgage debt and to fund
quarterly distribution to partners, generally at an increasing rate each
quarter. Net proceeds from the sale of assets and lump sums received from
disputes or bankruptcy claims were used, after reviewing the adequacy of cash
reserves, to pay off high rate mortgage debt or to fund special distributions to
partners.

            While the Company will initially distribute a significant portion of
its cash flow to shareholders, Management will have the ability to evaluate
whether a greater return may be realized by reinvesting any available excess
cash flow, rather than increasing the rate of distributions. The Company will
have more flexibility in structuring its debt as well. The Company may use
non-amortizing and unsecured debt to lower debt service levels. On March 26,
1998, the Company entered into a three year revolving credit agreement 


                                      -17-
<PAGE>   19

which provides the Company with a line of credit of $150,000,000. The Company
initially expects to use the funds available under the line of credit to fund
acquisitions and build-to-suit projects and to pay off higher interest and/or
maturing debt. The use of unsecured financing will require the Company to meet
financial covenant requirements. Such requirements generally include maintaining
defined net worth levels and operating cash flow and interest coverage ratios.

            The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements,
including general and administrative and property expenses, scheduled principal
payment installment obligations and distribution objectives from cash generated
from operations and from existing cash balances. The CPA(R) Partnerships
maintained working capital reserves in order to fund their nonrecurring needs,
including capital improvements and maturing debt. The CPA(R) Partnerships cash
balance at December 31, 1997 was $18,586,000. Such cash balance may decrease in
the future as the Company might have the opportunity to use lines of credit to
supplement cash flow from operations to fund short-term liquidity and working
capital reserve needs. Since March 26, 1998, the Company has used $55,000,000
from its newly acquired line of credit to satisfy outstanding mortgage and note
payable principal balances on higher interest debt.

            The Company's cash balance decreased by $9,967,000 primarily as a
result of paying the CPA(R) Partnerships' distributions of $9,730,000 in
December 1997, that were intended to adjust the net assets of each CPA(R)
Partnership to conform with the estimate of Total Exchange Value, as specified
in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus. Without such distribution,
cash balances would have been unchanged from the prior year. Cash flow from
operations of $49,559,000 was sufficient to fund payment of four quarterly
distributions in January, April, July and October 1997, totaling $33,890,000,
scheduled principal installments of $8,166,000, debt prepayments of $6,699,000
and a portion of additional capital costs, primarily at the hotel properties of
$1,955,000. Other mortgage prepayments of $12,700,000 were paid off by acquiring
new limited recourse mortgage financing on the same properties. Mortgages were
refinanced based on the opportunity to lower interest rates, and, therefore,
debt service requirements.

            The Company expects to have the opportunity to raise additional
equity capital through public offerings of shares or the issuance of shares in
exchange for properties. The Company is also adopting a dividend reinvestment
and share purchase plan which may allow the Company to raise additional capital
at little or no cost.

            The Company's management company has responsibility for maintaining
the Company's books and records. An affiliate of the management company services
the computer systems used in maintaining such books and records. In its
preliminary assessment of Year 2000 issues, the affiliate believes that such
issues will not have a material effect on the Company's operations; however such
assessment has not been completed. The Company relies on its bank and transfer
agent for certain computer-related services and has initiated discussions to
determine whether they are addressing Year 2000 issues that might affect the
Company.

            In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No.
130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in full set general
purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 establishes accounting standards for
the way that public business enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS No.
130 and SFAS No. 131 are required to be adopted in 1998. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS 131.

                        REPORT of INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
  Carey Diversified LLC,

            We have audited the combined balance sheets of Corporate Property
Associates Partnerships, as described in Note 1, as of December 31, 1996 and
1997, and the related combined statements of income, partners' capital and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. We have
also audited the financial statement schedule included in this Annual Report on
Form 10K. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.

            We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

            In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Corporate
Property Associates Partnerships as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1997, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial information required to
be included therein.

B.    In July 1996, the Group exchanged its interest in a hotel property and
      related assets and liabilities for units in the operating partnership of
      American General Hospitality Corporation, a publicly-traded real estate
      investment trust (see Note 15). The assets and liabilities transferred
      were as follows:

C.    In connection with foreclosure of a property in 1997, the Group
      transferred the property to the lender and was released from the
      obligations of the limited recourse mortgage loan. The gain on the
      foreclosure was as follows:

                     NOTES to COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All dollar amounts in thousands)

1.    Organization and Basis of Combination:

      A.  The combined financial statements consist of interests in nine
            Corporate Property Associates ("CPA(R)") real estate limited
            partnerships (individually, a "Partnership"), their wholly-owned
            subsidiaries and Carey Diversified LLC ("Carey Diversified")
            (collectively, the "Group") which have been presented on a combined
            basis at historical cost because of the affiliated general partners,
            common management and common control and because the majority
            ownership interests in the CPA(R) Partnerships was transferred to
            Carey Diversified, effective January 1, 1998, pursuant to a
            Consolidation transaction described below. All materialinter-entity
            transactions have been eliminated. The General Partners' interest 
            in the CPA(R) Partnerships is classified under minority interest 
            as such interest in the CPA(R) Partnerships will be maintained 
            subsequent to January 1, 1998 by two special limited partners, 
            William Polk Carey, formerly the Individual General Partner of the 
            nine CPA(R) Partnerships and Carey Management LLC ("Carey 
            Management"). Effective January 1, 1998, the exchange of CPA(R) 
            Partnership Limited Partner interests for interests in Carey
            Diversified ("Listed Shares") will be accounted for as a purchase
            and recorded at the fair value of the Listed Shares exchanged. The
            exchange of the General Partner's interests for Listed Shares will
            be accounted for on the historical basis of accounting.

          The Group has been engaged in the net leasing of industrial and
            commercial real estate. The future business activities of the Group
            will not necessarily be limited to net leasing. The CPA(R)
            Partnerships referred to above are as follows:

                 Corporate Property Associates
                 Corporate Property Associates 2
                 Corporate Property Associates 3
                 Corporate Property Associates 4, a California limited 
                   partnership 
                 Corporate Property Associates 5 
                 Corporate Property Associates 6 - a California limited 
                   partnership 
                 Corporate Property Associates 7 - a California limited 
                   partnership 
                 Corporate Property Associates 8, L.P., a Delaware limited 
                   partnership
                 Corporate Property Associates 9, L.P., a Delaware limited 
                   partnership

      B.  On October 16, 1997, Carey Diversified distributed a Consent
            Solicitation Statement/Prospectus to the Limited Partners of the
            nine CPA(R) Partnerships that described a proposal to consolidate
            the Partnerships. The General Partner's proposals that each of the
            nine CPA(R) limited partnerships be merged with a corresponding
            partnership of Carey Diversified, of which Carey Diversified is the
            general partner, were approved by the Limited Partners of all nine
            of the CPA(R) Partnerships. Each limited partner had the option of
            either exchanging his or her limited partnership interests for an
            interest in Carey Diversified ("Listed Shares") or to retain a
            limited partnership interest in the applicable subsidiary
            partnership ("Subsidiary Partnership Units"). On January 1, 1998,
            23,225,967 Listed Shares and 10,133 Subsidiary Partnership Units
            were issued in exchange for limited partnership units. The General
            Partners received 733,134 Listed Shares for their interest in their
            share of the appreciation in the Group's properties. W.P. Carey has
            received warrants to purchase 2,284,800 Listed Shares at $21 per
            share and 725,930 Listed Shares at $23 per share as compensation for
            investment bank services performed in connection with structuring
            the Consolidation. The warrants will be exercisable for 10 years,
            beginning January 1, 1999.

          Listed Shares commenced public trading on the New York Stock Exchange 
            on January 21, 1998. Subsidiary Partnership Units provide
            substantially the same economic interest and legal rights as those
            of a limited partnership unit in a CPA(R) Partnership, but are not
            listed on a securities exchange. A liquidating distribution to
            holders of Subsidiary Partnership Units will be made after an
            appraisal of an applicable CPA(R) Partnerships appraisal in the time
            frame specified to each Partnership in the Consent Solicitation
            Statement/Prospectus.

      C.  The unaudited pro forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December
            31, 1997 is presented as if the Consolidation transaction and
            related issuance of Listed Shares had occurred on December 31, 1997.
            The unaudited pro forma Consolidated Statement of Income is
            presented as if the Consolidation Transaction had occurred as of
            January 1, 1997. The pro forma adjustments are based upon estimates
            which are subject to final adjustment. The unaudited pro forma 
            financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the 
            actual financial position would have been at December 31, 1997 and 
            of what actual results of operations of the Group would have been 
            for the year then ended, nor do they purport to represent the 
            future financial position or future results of operations of Carey 
            Diversified and subsidiaries. In Management's opinion, all 
            adjustments necessary to reflect the Consolidation transaction and 
            related issuance of Listed Shares have been made.

          The most significant pro forma adjustments relate to the revaluation
            of assets and liabilities to fair value and elimination of certain
            deferred charges and deferred credits at December 31, 1997, and
            adjustments to revenues and expenses resulting from such
            revaluation, elimination of the current year's effect of the
            amortization of deferred charges and deferred credits and
            recognizing estimates for certain incremental recurring expenses 
            applicable to the new entity. The real estate assets have been
            valued by an independent appraiser. The redemption value for
            redeemable Subsidiary Partnership Units is based on the exchange
            value of limited partnership units to Listed Shares of the
            applicable CPA(R) Partnership.

          In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per
            Share" ("SFAS No. 128") which establishes standards for computing
            earnings per share. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 had no impact on
            the Group's pro forma financial statements because the effect of
            stock warrants was anti-dilutive. As a result the Group has
            presented basic per-share amounts in the accompanying pro forma
            Consolidated Statement of Income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

      Use of Estimates:

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
            accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
            and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
            liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
            the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
            revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most
            significant estimates relate to the assessment of recoverability of
            real estate assets. Actual results could differ from those
            estimates.

      Real Estate Leased to Others:

          Real estate is leased to others on a net lease basis, whereby the
            tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses relating
            to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance,
            repairs, renewals and improvements.

          The Group diversifies its real estate investments among various
            corporate tenants engaged in different industries and by property
            type throughout the United States. No lessee currently represents
            10% or more of total leasing revenues (see Note 10).

          The leases are accounted for under either the direct financing or
            operating methods. Such methods are described below:

                  Direct financing method - Leases accounted for under the
                  direct financing method are recorded at their net investment
                  (Note 5). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income
                  over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate
                  of return on the Group's net investment in the lease.


                                      -26-
<PAGE>   28

                            CAREY DIVERSIFIED LLC and
                   CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES PARTNERSHIPS
                NOTES to COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

                  Operating method - Real estate is recorded at cost, rental
                  revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term
                  of the leases and expenses (including depreciation) are
                  charged to operations as incurred.

          Substantially all of the Group's leases provide for either scheduled
            rent increases, periodic rent increases based on formulas indexed to
            increases in the Consumer Price Index or sales overrides.

          For properties under construction, interest charges are capitalized
            rather than expensed and rentals received are recorded as a
            reduction of capitalized project (i.e. construction) costs in
            accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 67.

      Operating Real Estate:

          Land and buildings and personal property are carried at cost.
            Renewals and improvements are capitalized while replacements,
            maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of
            the respective assets are expensed currently.

      Assets Held for Sale:

          Assets held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair
            value, less costs to dispose.

      Long-Lived Assets:

          The Group assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets,
            including residual interests of real estate assets, based on
            projections of undiscounted cash flows over the life of such assets.
            In the event that such cash flows are insufficient, the assets are
            adjusted to their estimated fair value.

      Depreciation:

          Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
            estimated useful lives of the properties which range from 5 to 50
            years.

      Cash Equivalents:

          The Group considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that
            are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of
            generally 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. Substantially all of the Group's cash
            and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and 1997 were held in the
            custody of three financial institutions.

      Other Assets and Liabilities:

          Included in other assets are accrued rents and interest receivable,
            escrow funds, deferred charges, deferred costs of Consolidation and
            marketable securities. Included in other liabilities are accrued
            interest payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred
            rental income and deferred gains.

          Escrow funds are funds that are restricted, primarily as additional
            collateral on the mortgage financing for certain of the Group's
            hotel properties. Such restricted amounts totaled $754 and $634 at
            December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

          Deferred charges are costs incurred in connection with mortgage
            financing and refinancing and are amortized over the terms of the
            mortgages.

          Deferred rental income is the aggregate difference for operating
            method leases between scheduled rents which vary during the lease
            term and rent recognized on a straight-line basis. Also included


                                      -27-

                            CAREY DIVERSIFIED LLC and
                   CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES PARTNERSHIPS
                NOTES to COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

            in deferred rental income are lease restructuring fees received
            which are recognized over the remainder of the initial lease terms.

          Deferred gains consist of assets acquired in excess of liabilities
            assumed in connection with acquiring certain hotel operations and
            certain funds received in connection with two loan refinancings
            which are being amortized into income over 20 and 24 years,
            respectively. The deferred gain on the acquisition of hotel
            operations was realized in 1996 in connection with the sale of such
            hotel.

          Deferred costs of Consolidation represent certain costs related to
            the consolidation of the CPA(R) Partnerships into Carey Diversified
            which have been capitalized. Such consolidation costs will be
            included in the revaluation of the Group's assets subsequent to
            December 31, 1997.

          Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale
            securities and are reported at fair value with the Group's interest
            in unrealized gains and losses on these securities reported in
            partner's capital. Such marketable securities have a cost basis and
            fair value of $1,735 and $1,683, respectively, at December 31, 1997.

      Reclassification:

          Certain 1995 and 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
            the 1997 financial statement presentation.

      Equity Investments:

          The Group's limited partner interests in two real estate limited
            partnerships in which such ownership is less than 50% are accounted
            for under the equity method, i.e., at cost, increased or decreased
            by the Group's pro rata share of earnings or losses, less
            distributions. Equity income in the limited partnerships has been
            included in other income in the accompanying combined financial
            statements. The Group's income from these equity investments was
            $565, $583 and $607 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
            Distributions received from such investments were $850, $795 and
            $786 in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Group is the sole
            limited partner in the two partnerships with the general partner
            interests owned by Corporate Property Associates 10 Incorporated
            ("CPA(R):10"), an affiliate. An ownership interest in a third
            limited partnership in which CPA(R):10 owned the general partner
            interest was written off in 1995.

          An interest in the operating partnership of a publicly-traded real

3.    Transactions with Related Parties:

          Through December 31, 1997, the Agreements of each of the Group's
            Partnerships provided that the General Partners (consisting of W. P.
            Carey & Co., Inc. ("W.P. Carey") or affiliated companies as
            Corporate General Partners and William P. Carey as Individual
            General Partner) were allocated between 1% and 10%, for the
            applicable Partnership, of the profits and losses as well as
            Distributable Cash From Operations, as defined, and the Limited
            Partners were allocated between 90% and 99%, for the applicable
            Partnership, of the profits and losses as well as Distributable Cash
            From Operations. The Partners were also entitled to receive an
            allocation of gains and losses from the sale of properties and to
            receive net proceeds from such sales with such allocation and
            distribution as defined in the Agreements. Effective January 1,
            1998, as a result of the merger of the CPA(R) Partnerships with
            subsidiary partnerships of Carey Diversified, Carey Diversified is
            the sole general partner of the nine CPA(R) Partnerships. Carey
            Diversified and holders of Subsidiary Partnership Units are
            allocated between 90% and 99% of the profits and losses and
            distributable cash of the applicable Partnership, and two special
            limited partners, Carey Management LLC ("Carey Management"), an
            affiliate, and William Polk Carey, are allocated between 1% and 10%
            of the profits and losses and distributable cash of the applicable
            Partnership.

          In connection with the merger of the CPA(R)Partnerships with Carey
            Diversified and the listing of Listed Shares of Carey Diversified on
            the New York Stock Exchange, the former Corporate General Partners
            of eight of the nine CPA(R)Partnerships satisfied provisions for
            receiving a subordinated preferred return from the Partnerships
            totaling $3,728 based upon the cumulative proceeds from the sale of
            the assets of each Partnership since its inception. Such amount has
            been included in accounts payable to affiliates as of December 31,
            1997 in the accompanying combined financial statements. Payment of
            the preferred return, made in January 1998, was contingent on
            achieving a specified cumulative return to limited partners. For the
            single Partnership that did not achieve the specified cumulative
            return, the Group has also accrued the subordinated preferred return
            of $1,423 as payable to affiliates as of December 31, 1997. To
            satisfy the conditions for receiving the preferred return, the
            Listed Shares of Carey Diversified must achieve a closing price
            equal to or in excess of $23.11 for five consecutive trading days.
            The General Partner believes that it is probable, as defined by
            Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, that the
            conditions for this Partnership paying the preferred return will be
            achieved. The Exchange Values for the exchange of Limited
            Partnership Units to Listed Shares of Carey Diversified was included
            in calculating the cumulative return for each of the
            CPA(R)Partnerships.

          Under the Agreements, certain affiliates were entitled to receive
            property management or leasing fees and reimbursement of certain
            expenses incurred in connection with the Group's operations. General
            and administrative reimbursements consist primarily of the actual
            cost of personnel needed in providing administrative services
            necessary to the operation of the Group. Property management and
            leasing fees in 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $1,886, $916, and $1,139,
            respectively. Effective January 1, 1998, the fees and reimbursements
            are payable to Carey Management. General and administrative
            reimbursements in 1995, 1996 and 1997 were $852, $911 and $1,788,
            respectively.

          For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, fees
            aggregating $652, $902 and $664, respectively, were incurred for
            legal services in connection with the Group's operations and were
            provided by a law firm in which the Secretary, until July 1997, of
            the Corporate General Partners of the Partnerships is a partner.

          The Group is a participant in an agreement with W.P. Carey and
            certain affiliates for the purpose of leasing office space used for
            the administration of the Group, other affiliated real estate
            entities and W.P. Carey and for sharing the associated costs.
            Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Group's share of rental,
            occupancy and leasehold improvement costs is based on adjusted

            gross revenues, as defined. Expenses incurred in 1995, 1996 and 1997
            were $964, $720 and $590, respectively.

          In November 1995, the Group borrowed $2,550 from W.P. Carey in
            connection with the retirement of a mortgage loan. The loans from
            W.P. Carey were evidenced by two promissory notes, bearing interest
            at the prime rate and required the Group to pay the entire principal
            amount and accrued interest thereon on demand. Prior to December 31,
            1997, the outstanding balances were paid in full.

            recourse obligations, are collateralized by the assignment of
            various leases and by real property with a gross amount of
            approximately $344,514, before accumulated depreciation. As of

          The Group's notes payable which aggregated $24,709 at December 31,
            1996 and 1997 provide for quarterly payments of interest at a
            variable rate of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 4.25% per
            annum with such notes maturing between July 1999 and December 1999
            at which time balloon payments for the entire outstanding principal
            balance will be due. Each note obligation is recourse to the assets
            of a specific Partnership.

          Covenants under the notes limit the amount of limited recourse
            indebtedness the applicable Partnership may incur. Additionally,
            each Partnership must maintain certain debt coverage ratios, minimum
            net worth and aggregate appraised property values. The debt coverage
            ratios require each Partnership to maintain ratios of free operating
            cash flow, as defined, to the debt service on the applicable note
            ranging from 3:1 to 3.4:1 over the terms of the note. The net worth
            and aggregate property values minimums range from $15,000 to
            $25,000. Under the covenants, certain of the Partnerships have
            limitations on the amount of total indebtedness that such
            Partnership may incur. The Company is in compliance with the
            covenants of the note payable agreements as of December 31, 1997.

9.    Income for Federal Tax Purposes:

          Income for financial statement purposes differs from income for
            Federal income tax purposes because of the difference in the
            treatment of certain items for income tax purposes and financial
            statement purposes. A reconciliation of accounting differences is as
            follows:

10.   Industry Segment Information:

          The Group's operations consist of two business segments (i) the
            investment in and the leasing of industrial and commercial real
            estate and (ii) owning and operating hotels.

          For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Group
            earned its net leasing revenues (i.e., rental income and interest
            income from direct financing leases) from over 75 lessees. A summary
            of net leasing revenues including all current lease obligors with
            more than $1,000 in annual revenues is as follows:

11.   Gain on Settlement:

          In August 1995, the Group reached a settlement with The Leslie Fay
            Company ("Leslie Fay") and its surety company regarding Leslie Fay's
            lease with the Group. In connection with the settlement, the Group
            recognized a gain of $11,499, which consisted of aggregate net cash
            received from Leslie Fay and the surety company of $18,840 and the
            waiving of the $383 accrued interest, offset by the writedown of
            $7,400 and aggregate management fees, payable to an affiliate, of
            $324 since the beginning of the dispute in 1992. Of the rent
            received, $5,436 was received in 1995. Under the settlement
            agreement, Leslie Fay was required to dismiss with prejudice all of
            its suits filed against the Group, and the Group's bankruptcy claim
            against Leslie Fay, as an unsecured creditor, was reduced to $2,650.
            During 1997, the Group received distributions on its bankruptcy
            claim of $1,691 consisting of securities of Leslie Fay, Inc. and
            Sassco Fashions, Ltd. There is no assurance that the remaining
            amount of the claim will be distributed.

          As the fair value of the property was no longer affected by the
            Leslie Fay lease, the Group wrote down the estimated fair value of
            the property, net of anticipated selling costs, to $2,000 and
            recognized a noncash charge of $7,400, which is netted against the
            1995 gain of settlement.

          In January 1996, the Group sold the vacant property to a third
            party, net of transaction costs, for $1,854. The Group recognized an
            additional writedown on the property to an amount equal to the net
            sales proceeds, resulting in a charge to income in 1995 of $146.
            Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized in 1996 in connection
            with the sale.

12.   Gains and Losses on Disposition of Properties:

      Significant sales of properties and securities are summarized as follows:

          1997

          In September 1996, the Group entered into a purchase and sale
            agreement for the sale of the Group's property in Louisville,
            Kentucky, leased to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. ("Winn-Dixie") for
            $1,100 less selling costs. The Winn-Dixie property was sold in
            August 1997 at which time, the Group received $1,042 and recognized
            a gain on sale of $608. Such property was classified as real estate
            held for sale as of December 31, 1996.

          The Group owned two properties in Sumter and Columbia, South
            Carolina that were leased to Arley Merchandise Corporation
            ("Arley"). In July 1997, the Arley lease was terminated by the
            Bankruptcy Court in connection with Arley's voluntary petition of
            bankruptcy. In connection with the termination of the lease, the
            Partnership wrote off $300 of uncollected rents and wrote down the
            Arley properties by $1,350. In May 1997, the lender on the limited
            recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Arley properties made a
            demand for payment for the entire outstanding principal balance of
            the loan of $4,755. In June 1997, the lender initiated a lawsuit for
            the purpose of foreclosing on the Arley properties. The Group chose
            not to contest the lender's actions, and in November 1997, the
            ownership of the Arley properties was transferred to the lender and
            the loan obligation was canceled. Since the loan was limited
            recourse, the lender's sole recourse was to the Arley properties and
            certain deposits. In connection with the foreclosure, the Group
            recognized a gain of $957 on the difference between liabilities
            forgiven and assets surrendered.

          1996

          In January 1996, the Group sold a multi-tenant property in Helena,
            Montana whose primary tenant was IBM Corporation ("IBM") for $4,800.
            Net of closing costs, the Group received cash proceeds of $1,741 and
            assigned a mortgage loan obligation of $2,854 and accrued interest
            of $12 thereon to the purchaser. A gain of $90 was recognized on the
            sale. All of the Group's leases at the Helena property, including
            the IBM lease, were assigned to the purchaser.

          In April 1996, the Group sold its warehouse property in Hodgkins,
            Illinois leased to GATX Logistics, Inc. ("GATX") for $13,200 and
            assigned the GATX lease to the purchaser. Net of the costs of sale
            and amounts necessary to satisfy the $3,209 balance on the mortgage
            loan collateralized by the Hodgkins property, the Group received
            cash proceeds of $9,661 and recognized a gain of $4,408. The Group
            used $7,477 of the cash proceeds from the Hodgkins sale to satisfy
            two mortgage loan obligations which were scheduled to mature in
            1996.

          In 1985, the Group purchased a hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota,
            which was operated as a Holiday Inn, with $6,800 of tax-exempt bonds
            which were supported by a letter of credit issued by a third party.
            In September 1994, the Group was advised by Holiday Inn that it
            would need to upgrade the hotel's physical plant by January 1997 in
            order to meet the requirements of a modernization plan adopted by
            Holiday Inn or surrender its Holiday Inn license. Management
            concluded that such additional investment required was not in the
            best interests of the Group and determined to sell the property. In
            1995, the Group reevaluated the fair value of the property and
            recognized a noncash charge of $1,000. In 1996, the Group recognized
            an additional charge of $1,300 as a writedown to fair value to an
            amount Management believed would approximate the proceeds from a
            sale.

          In October 1996, the Group sold the property and the operating assets 
            and liabilities of the hotel for $4,105. The Group recognized a gain
            of $785 on the sale and the bonds were paid off. The gain includes
            the recognition of the release of unamortized deferred gains
            relating to the acquisition of the hotel operation in 1991 from the
            former lessee.

          1995

          In December 1995, the Group sold the food service facility in Jupiter,
            Florida, at which it operated a restaurant, for $4,140, recognizing
            a gain on the sale of $1,019.

          In June 1995, the Group sold its property in Allentown, Pennsylvania, 
            which it purchased in June 1983 for $11,702, to its lessee, Genesco,
            Inc. ("Genesco") for $15,200 and recognized a gain on the sale of
            $3,330, net of certain costs. In connection with the sale, the Group
            paid off an existing limited recourse mortgage loan on the Genesco
            property for $5,723.

          In August 1985, the Group purchased from and net leased to Industrial 
            General Corporation ("IGC") and certain of its wholly-owned
            subsidiaries, seven properties located in Elyria and Bellville,
            Ohio, Forrest City and Bald Knob, Arkansas, Carthage, New York,
            Saginaw, Michigan and Newburyport, Massachusetts for $9,100.
            Subsequent to the purchase, the Group agreed to exchange the Saginaw
            property for an expansion of the Newburyport facility, severed the
            Carthage property from the lease sold the Forrest City property. In
            July 1995, IGC filed a voluntary petition of bankruptcy. In
            connection with IGC's sale of its plastics division, in September
            1995, the Group entered into a series of transactions which resulted
            in the termination of the IGC lease, the sale of the Bald Knob,
            Bellville and Newburyport properties and the full satisfaction of
            the mortgage loan obligation collateralized by all of the IGC
            properties that had been scheduled to mature at that time. In
            connection with the sale of the Bald Knob property to IGC, the Group
            received cash of $987 and IGC, with the consent of the mortgage
            lender, assumed the Group's mortgage obligation of $720 and accrued
            interest of $6. Additionally, the Group received an additional $200
            in installments subsequent to the sale. The Bellville and
            Newburyport properties were sold for $2,400 in cash to the third
            party that acquired the assets of the IGC plastics division. The
            Group used $2,200 of the proceeds to pay off the remaining balance
            on the matured mortgage loan obligation on the IGC and FMP
            properties. In connection with the sale of the three properties, the
            Group realized a loss of $1,720 in 1995.

          In January 1984, the Group purchased properties in Gordonsville,
            Virginia and in North Bergen, New Jersey for $7,000 and entered into
            a net lease with Liberty Fabrics of New York ("Liberty"). In
            December 1993, Liberty notified the Group of its intention to
            exercise its purchase option on the properties. On December 29,
            1994, the Group and Liberty terminated the lease and agreed that the
            properties would be transferred to Liberty for $9,359, subject to a
            final determination of the fair value of the property. The final
            determination was made with no adjustment to the fair market value,
            thereby completing the sale. As a result, the Group recognized a
            gain in 1995 on the sale of the properties of $2,334.

13.   Extraordinary Gains and Losses on Extinguishment of Debt:

          1996

          In 1996, the Group obtained $6,400 of new limited recourse mortgage
            financing on one of its properties leased to The Gap, Inc. (the
            "Gap"). Proceeds from the mortgage financing were used to pay off
            the remaining balance of $6,195 on an existing mortgage loan on the
            Gap property, certain refinancing costs and prepayment charges of
            $255. The prepayment charges have been reflected as an extraordinary
            charge on the extinguishment of debt in the accompanying combined
            financial statements. The new mortgage loan is a limited recourse
            obligation and is collateralized by a deed of trust and a lease
            assignment. The loan bears interest at 7.25% per annum and provides
            for monthly payments of principal and interest of $58 based on a
            15-year amortization schedule. The retired mortgage loan provided
            for quarterly payments of $211 at an annual interest rate of 10%.
            The new mortgage loan has a term of three years and a balloon
            payment of $5,608 will be due on the maturity date, May 1, 1999.

          1995

          In connection with the sale of its property in Jupiter, Florida in
            December 1995, the Group satisfied the mortgage notes collateralized
            by the Jupiter property. Under a prior agreement, certain principal
            and interest payments were deferred through 1995. The prior
            agreement provided that the payment of deferred amounts would be
            forgiven under certain circumstances including the payment in full
            of all other amounts due under the mortgage notes. At the time of
            sale, the Group paid all amounts due and met the conditions for
            forgiveness of the deferred amounts. Accordingly, the Group
            recognized an extraordinary gain of $1,324 on the extinguishment of
            debt on the satisfaction of the Jupiter property mortgage notes.

          The Group recognized a gain on the satisfaction of the mortgage loan
            collateralized by the property leased to Anthony's Manufacturing
            Company, Inc. ("Anthony's"). In May 1995, the Group paid off and
            satisfied the mortgage loan collateralized by the Anthony's
            properties. The lender accepted payments aggregating $5,440 to
            satisfy an outstanding principal balance of $6,854 and accrued
            interest thereon of $705. In connection with the satisfaction of the
            debt, the Group recognized an extraordinary gain on the
            extinguishment of debt of $2,088, net of certain related legal
            costs. The Group also received $1,550 from Anthony's under a
            settlement agreement.

14.   Writedowns to Fair Value:

          Significant writedowns of properties to fair value are summarized as
            follows:

          As described in Note 16, Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc. ("Simplicity")
            notified the Group that it was exercising its option to purchase the
            property it leases from the Group in Port Washington, Wisconsin on
            April 1, 1998. The Group concluded that it was not likely that the
            agreed-upon exercise price would be in excess of the minimum
            exercise price of $9,684. Accordingly, the Group recognized a
            noncash charge of $2,316 in 1997 on the writedown of the property to
            the anticipated exercise price.

          The Group owned two properties in Sumter and Columbia, South
            Carolina leased to Arley. As more fully described in note 12, the
            Group reevaluated the fair value of the property in connection with
            the termination of the Arley lease and recognized a noncash charge
            of $1,350 in 1997.

          The Group owned a hotel property in Rapid City, South Dakota which
            it sold in October 1996. As more fully described in Note 12, the
            Group reevaluated the fair value of the property in 1995 and
            recognized a noncash charge of $1,000 on the writedown. An
            additional noncash charge of $1,300 was recorded in 1996.

          In connection with the sale of the IGC properties as described in
            Note 12, the Group retained ownership of a property in Elyria, Ohio
            and wrote off its carrying value of $692 in 1995.

          In January 1991, the Group and CPA(R):10 formed a limited
            partnership, Hope Street Connecticut Limited Company ("Hope
            Street"), for the purpose of purchasing land and an office building
            in Stamford, Connecticut for $11,000. The Group contributed $1,500
            to Hope Street for a 31.915% limited partnership interest and
            CPA(R):10 contributed $3,200 for a 68.085% general partnership
            interest. Hope Street used this equity and assumed an existing
            limited recourse mortgage loan of $6,300 collateralized by the
            property and also assumed an existing net lease, as lessor, with
            Xerox Corporation ("Xerox"), as lessee. The mortgage loan was an
            interest only obligation with annual debt service of $639 and was
            scheduled to mature on September 1, 1995 with a balloon payment of
            $6,300 due at that time.

          In August 1995, Xerox vacated the property at the end of the initial
            term. Hope Street was unsuccessful in its efforts to remarket the
            property and find a new lessee even at a substantially lower annual
            rental. Based on its assessment of current conditions for the
            Stamford market, the general partner concluded that the fair value
            of the property was less than the outstanding balance of the
            mortgage loan. Given these circumstances, the general partner
            considered various alternatives, including negotiating with the
            lender to extend the maturity, restructure the loan or satisfy the
            balloon payment obligation at a substantial discount. All of these
            alternatives were rejected by the lender. Since the Group did not
            anticipate receiving any further cash distributions from Hope Street
            and did not have any obligation to contribute additional funds in
            Hope Street, the Group wrote off its remaining equity investment in
            Hope Street and recognized a charge of $1,173 in 1995. The property
            was transferred to the lender in connection with a foreclosure
            proceeding which was completed in September 1997, at which time Hope
            Street was released from its limited recourse mortgage obligation.

15. Equity  Investment in American  General  Hospitality  Operating  Partnership
L.P.:

          The Group purchased a hotel property in Kenner, Louisiana, in June
            1988. The Group assumed operating control of the hotel in 1992 after
            evicting the lessee due to its financial difficulties. On July 30,
            1996, the Group completed a transaction with American General
            Hospitality Operating Partnership L.P. (the "Operating
            Partnership"), the operating partnership of a newly-formed real
            estate investment trust, American General Hospitality Corporation,
            ("AGH"), in which the Group received 920,672 limited partnership
            units in exchange for the hotel property and its operations. In
            connection with the exchange the Group and the Operating Partnership
            assumed the mortgage loan obligation collateralized by the hotel
            property of $7,304.

          The exchange of the hotel property for limited partnership units was
            treated as a nonmonetary exchange for tax and financial reporting
            purposes. The Group's interest in the Operating Partnership is being
            accounted for under the equity method. The Group has the right to
            convert its equity interest in the Operating Partnership to shares
            of common stock in AGH on a one-for-one basis. AGH completed an
            initial public offering during 1996. The Partnership's carrying
            value for the limited partnership units at the time of the exchange
            of $9,292 was based on the historical basis of assets transferred,
            net of liabilities assumed by the Operating Partnership; cash
            contributed and costs incurred to complete the exchange.

          As of September 30, 1997, the unaudited consolidated financial
            statements of AGH reported total assets of $562,013 and
            shareholders' equity of $284,629 and for the nine months then ended
            revenues of $43,439 and net income of $17,212. As of December 31,
            1997, AGH's quoted per share market value was $26 3/4 resulting in
            an aggregate value of approximately $24,628, if converted. The
            carrying value of the equity interest in the Operating Partnership
            as of December 31, 1997 was $9,545. For the period from July 31,
            1996 to December 31, 1996, and for the year ended December 31, 1997,
            the Group's share of the Operating Partnership's earnings were $572
            and $1,469, respectively.

16.   Assets Held for Sale:

          In March 1997, Simplicity notified the Group that it was exercising
            its option to purchase the property it leases from the Group in Port
            Washington, Wisconsin on April 1, 1998. The agreed-upon option price
            is $9,684. After paying the limited recourse mortgage loan on the
            Simplicity properties, the Group will realize cash proceeds of
            approximately $5,362, before any selling costs. Annual cash flow
            from the property (rent less mortgage debt service on the property)
            is $934. The carrying value of the Simplicity property at December
            31, 1997 was $9,684 (also see Note 14).

          In December 1996, KSG, Inc. ("KSG") notified the Group that it was
            exercising its option to purchase the property it leases in
            Hazelwood, Missouri. The exercise price will be the greater of
            $4,698 (the Group's purchase price for the property in March 1987)
            or fair market value as encumbered by the lease. The option provides
            that the sale of the property occur no later than March 8, 1998. KSG
            and the Group; however, have not been able to reach an agreement as
            to the exercise price. The fair market value is determined, in part,
            by estimating future rents for the remaining lease terms including
            the renewal terms. KSG is disputing the methodology used to
            calculate a rent increase that went into effect in 1997.
            Accordingly, determination of the exercise price is contingent on
            resolving the dispute. The carrying value of the KSG property at
            December 31, 1997 was $4,698.

17.   Environmental Matters:

          Substantially all of the Group's properties, other than the hotel
            properties, are currently leased to corporate tenants, all of which
            are subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the
            discharge of hazardous materials and related remediation
            obligations. The Group generally structures a lease to require the
            tenant to comply with all laws. In addition, substantially all of
            the Group's net leases include provisions that require tenants to
            indemnify the Group from all liabilities and losses related to their
            operations at the leased properties. The costs for remediation, that
            are expected to be performed and paid by the affected tenant, are
            not expected to be material. In the event that the Group absorbs a
            portion of any costs, Management believes such expenditures will not
            have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition,
            liquidity or results of operations.

          In 1994, based on the results of Phase I environmental reviews 
            performed in 1993, the Group voluntarily conducted Phase II
            environmental reviews on certain of its properties. The Group
            believes, based on the results of Phase I and Phase II reviews, that
            its leased properties are in substantial compliance with Federal and
            state environmental statutes and regulations. Portions of certain
            properties, which do not include any of the hotel properties, have
            been documented as having a limited degree of contamination,
            principally in connection with surface spills from facility
            activities and leakage from underground storage tanks. For those
            conditions that were identified, the Group has advised the affected
            tenants of the Phase II findings and of their obligations to perform
            required remediation.

18.   Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

          The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
            and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short
            maturity of these items.

          The Group estimates that the fair value of mortgage notes payable and 
            other notes payable approximates the carrying amounts for such loans
            at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997. The fair value of debt
            instruments was evaluated using a discounted cash flow model with
            discount rates which take into account the credit of the tenants and
            interest rate risk.

          The fair value of the Group's marketable securities were $93 at
            December 31, 1996 and $1,683 at December 31, 1997 based on the
            quoted value for such securities.

19.   Accounting Pronouncements:

          In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
            Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
            SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
            Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
            reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
            (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in full set general purpose
            financial statements. SFAS No. 131 establishes accounting standards
            for the way that public business enterprises report selected
            information about operating segments in interim financial reports
            issued to shareholders. SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 are required
            to be adopted in 1998. The Company is currently evaluating the
            impact, if any, of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS 131.

20.   Subsequent Events:

       A. On February 18, 1998, the Group and an unaffiliated limited liability 
            company, AWHQ LLC, with 80% and 20% interests, respectively, as
            tenants-in-common, acquired land in Tempe, Arizona upon which a
            nine-story 225,000 square foot office building with an attached
            parking garage is to be constructed pursuant to construction agency
            and net lease agreements with America West Holdings Corporation
            ("America West"). Total acquisition and project costs are estimated
            to be $37,000. America West has the obligation for any costs in
            excess of such amount necessary to complete the project.

          During the construction period, America West will pay monthly rent
            based on the weighted average amount advanced for project costs. The
            lease provides for an initial term of 15 years with two five-year
            renewal terms commencing May 1, 1999. Annual rent will initially be
            equal to total project costs multiplied by 9.2%. Rent increases are
            scheduled May 2003 and every five-years thereafter, on a formula
            indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), with each
            increase capped at 11.77%.

          The lease provides America West with purchase options to purchase the 
            property at the end of the tenth lease year of the initial term and
            the end of the initial term at an option price equal to the greater
            of fair market value as affected and encumbered by the lease or the
            Group's and AWHQ LLC's project costs for the property.

       B. On March 17, 1998, the Group acquired approximately 46 acres of land 
            in Collierville, Tennessee upon which four office buildings totaling
            up to 400,000 square feet are being constructed. At the end of the
            construction period, the buildings will be occupied by Federal
            Express Corporation ("Federal Express") pursuant to a master net
            lease.

          In connection with the acquisition of the land, the Group entered into
            a lease agreement with FEEC II, L.P. ("FEEC") which in turn is the
            sublessor to Federal Express. The lease between the Group and FEEC
            provides for a development period term ending on the earlier of the
            completion of the project or November 30, 1999 followed by a
            twenty-year initial term.

          The FEEC lease grants the Group an exclusive option to acquire FEEC's 
            leasehold estate in the Federal Express net lease, as lessor, with
            such option exercisable at any time after the end of the development
            period. The option price will be based on a formula indexed to
            Federal Express' annual rent under its lease with FEEC less all
            amounts previously advanced by the Group to FEEC for project costs.
            The Group expects that the total cost will not exceed $77,000. The
            Group intends to exercise its option at the earliest practicable
            date and at such time will assume the Federal Express lease.

          Federal Express' initial annual rent will be based on the actual costs
            necessary to complete the build-to-suit project with such rent
            capped at $6,628. Rent increases are scheduled annually and are
            indexed to increases in the CPI with annual increases limited to
            1.7%. The Federal Express lease provides for an initial term of 20
            years with two ten-year renewal terms at the option of the lessee.

       C. On March 26, 1998, the Group obtained a line of credit of $150,000 
            pursuant to a revolving credit agreement with The Chase Manhattan
            Bank. The revolving credit agreement has a term of three years.

          Advances from the line of credit must be for at least $3,000 and in
            multiples of $500. for any single advance. Advances made will bear
            interest at an annual rate of either (i) the one, two, three or

            Effective Rate, plus .50%, plus a spread ranging from 0% to .125%
            depending upon the Group's leverage. In addition, the Group will pay
            a fee (a) ranging between 0.15% and 0.20% per annum of the unused
            portion of the credit facility, depending on the Group's leverage,
            if no minimum credit rating for the Group is in effect or (b) equal
            to .15% of the total commitment amount, if the Group has obtained a
            certain minimum credit rating.

          The revolving credit agreement has financial covenants that require
            the Group to (i) maintain minimum equity value of $400,000 plus 85%
            of amounts received by the Group as proceeds from the issuance of
            equity interests and (ii) meet or exceed certain operating and
            coverage ratios. Such operating and coverage ratios include, but are
            not limited to, (a) ratios of earnings before interest, taxes,
            depreciation and amortization to fixed charges for interest and (b)
            ratios of net operating income, as defined, to interest expense.

          The Group has drawn $55,000 from the line of credit to pay off
            existing debt.

      acquisition, including legal fees, appraisal fees, title costs, other
      related professional fees and purchases of furniture, fixtures, equipment
      and improvements at the hotel properties.

      amortization of unearned income from net investment in direct financing
      leases producing a periodic rate of return which at times may be greater
      or less than lease payments received, (ii) accumulated depreciation from
      operating leases that were reclassified to direct financing leases, (iii)
      sales of properties, and (iv) writedowns of properties to fair value.

(c)   At December 31, 1996, the aggregate cost of real estate owned by the
      Company and its subsidiaries for Federal income tax purposes is
