        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

           (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation/Accounting Policies:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of W.P. Carey & Co. LLC ("the
Company") (formerly Carey Diversified LLC) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial
statements. All significant inter-entity balances and transactions have been
eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 financial
statement presentation.

The Company has adopted the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 -
Revenue Recognition ("SAB 101"). The adoption of SAB 101 has not had a material
effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

For the management business, all fees are recognized as earned. Transaction fees
are earned upon consummation of a transaction and asset-based fees are earned
when services are performed except as described in Note 3.


Note 2.  Acquisition of Business Operations:

The Company acquired the net lease real estate management operations of Carey
Management LLC ("Carey Management"), a subsidiary of W.P. Carey & Co., Inc., an
affiliate, subsequent to receiving shareholder approval on June 28, 2000. The
assets acquired include the Advisory Agreements with four affiliated publicly
owned real estate investment trusts (the "CPA(R) REITs"), the Company's
Management Agreement, the stock of an affiliated broker-dealer, investments in
the common stock of the CPA(R) REITs, and certain office furniture, fixtures,
equipment and employees required to carry on the business operations of Carey
Management. The purchase price consisted of the initial issuance of 8,000,000
Listed Shares ("shares"); an additional 2,000,000 shares will be issued over
four years if specified performance criteria are achieved. The initial 8,000,000
shares issued are restricted from resale for a period of up to three years. The
total purchase price was approximately $131,300 including the initial issuance
of 8,000,000 shares, estimated transaction costs of $2,605, the acquisition of a
minority interest in the Company and the value of restricted shares and options
issued in respect of the interests of certain officers in a non-qualified
deferred compensation plan of Carey Management.

The acquisition of interests in Carey Management was accounted for as a purchase
and is recorded at the fair value of the initial 8,000,000 shares issued. The
fair value of the shares was based upon the average market price for a
reasonable period before and after the date the terms of the acquisition were
announced, including a discount to reflect the restrictions on their
disposition. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities
acquired based upon their fair market values. Intangible assets acquired,
including the Advisory Agreements with the CPA(R) REITs, the Company's
Management Agreement, the trade name, and workforce, have been determined
pursuant to an independent valuation. The value of the Advisory Agreements and
the Management Agreement have been computed based on a discounted cash flow
analysis of the projected fees. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
values of the identified tangible and intangible assets, has been recorded as
goodwill. The acquisition of the Company's Management Agreement has been
accounted for as a contract termination and the fair value of the Agreement of
$38,000 was expensed as of the date of the merger.

Note 3.  Transactions with Related Parties:

As described in Note 2, the Company's Management Agreement with Carey Management
was cancelled effective with the acquisition of the business operations of Carey
Management; as such, the Company is now internally managed. For the period from
January 1, 2000 through the effective date of the merger (June 29, 2000), the
Company incurred combined management and performance fees of $1,924 and general
and administrative reimbursements of $861. For the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred combined management and
performance fees of $788 and $2,222, respectively, and general and
administrative reimbursements of $293 and $1,022, respectively. As a result of
the cancellation of the Management Agreement and acquisition of Carey
Management's workforce, the Company no longer incurs management and performance
fees and general and administrative reimbursements.

As a result of acquiring the Advisory Agreements with the CPA(R) REITs, the
Company has engaged in a new business segment, advisory operations, and earns
fees as the Advisor to the four affiliated CPA(R) REITs, Corporate Property
Associates 10 Incorporated ("CPA(R):10"), Carey Institutional Properties
Incorporated ("CIP(R)"), Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated
("CPA(R):12"), and Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated ("CPA(R):14").

Under the Advisory Agreements with the CPA(R) REITs, the Company performs
various services, including but not limited to the day-to-day management of the
CPA(R) REITs and transaction-related services primarily consisting of the
identification, evaluation, and negotiation of property purchases and
dispositions and placement of debt. In addition, the Company's broker-dealer
subsidiary earns fees in connection with the on-going "best efforts" public
offering of CPA(R):14. The Company earns an asset management fee of 1/2 of 1%
per annum of Average Invested Assets, as defined in the Agreements, for each
CPA(R) REIT and, based upon certain performance criteria for each REIT, may be
entitled to receive a performance fee of 1/2 of 1% of Average Invested Assets.
The Company recognizes performance fees as earned when the performance criteria
of the applicable REIT are met. The Company may, at its option, elect to receive
its performance fees in REIT common stock. The Company is reimbursed for the
cost of personnel provided for the administration of the CPA(R) REITs. For the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and the period from the effective
date of the merger to September 30, 2000, asset-based fees and reimbursements
earned were $4,987 and $5,017, respectively.

In connection with structuring and negotiating acquisitions and related mortgage
financing for the CPA(R) REITs, the Advisory Agreements provide for transaction
fees based on the cost of the properties acquired. For acquisitions made on
behalf of CPA(R):12 and CPA(R):14, a portion of these fees are payable in equal
annual installments over no less than eight years, subject to certain
limitations. Such unpaid amounts bear interest at annual rates ranging from 6%
to 7%. Disposition fees are subject to subordination provisions and will only be
recognized as such subordination provisions are achieved. For the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 and for the period from the effective date of
the merger to September 30, 2000, the Company recognized transaction fees of
$4,774 and $7,587, respectively.

As Advisor, the Company acquired 20,000 shares of common stock in each CPA(R)
REIT in connection with the acquisition described in Note 2, and accounts for
its investment in such common stock under the equity method of accounting.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company elected to
receive its performance fees from CIP(R) and CPA(R):12 in common stock rather
than cash. Subsequent to September 30, 2000, the Company has been issued 52,461
and 66,154 shares of CIP(R) and CPA(R):12, respectively.

Note 4.  Lease Revenues:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned its
net leasing revenues (i.e., rental income and interest income from direct
financing leases) from more than 80 lessees. A summary of net leasing revenues
is as follows:

Meristar operating partnership is being accounted for under the equity method.

Meristar's financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 reported
total assets of $3,043,648 and shareholders' equity of $1,096,164 as of June 30,
2000 and revenues of $148,639 and net income of $10,052 for the six months then
ended. As of October 26, 2000, Meristar's quoted share price was $18 13/16,
resulting in an aggregate value of the Company's units of approximately $14,679
if converted. The carrying value of the equity interest in Meristar operating
partnership as of September 30, 2000 was $18,596.

The Company owns equity interests as a limited partner in two limited
partnerships that each own real estate net leased to a single tenant. CPA(R):10
owns the remaining controlling interests as a general partner in each
partnership. The Company also owns a 50% interest in a limited liability company
with CPA(R):14. Effective as of June 29, 2000, the Company acquired 20,000
shares of common stock in the four REITs with which it has advisory agreements.
Since September 30, 2000, the Company has acquired an additional 52,461and
66,154 shares of CIP(R) and CPA(R):12 in connection with earning performance
fees (see Note 3). Combined financial information of the affiliated equity
investees is summarized as follows:

                Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The following information should be read in conjunction with W.P. Carey & Co.
LLC's ("WPC") (formerly Carey Diversified LLC) condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 2000 included in this quarterly
report and Carey Diversified's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999. This quarterly report contains forward looking statements.
Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of WPC to be
materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or
implied by such forward looking statements. Accordingly, such information should
not be regarded as representations by WPC that the results or conditions
described in such statements or the objectives and plans of WPC will be
achieved.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Effective June 29, 2000, Carey Diversified acquired the net lease real estate
management operations of Carey Management LLC by issuing 8,000,000 shares and
changed its name to W. P. Carey & Co., LLC. As a result of acquiring the
operations of Carey Management, WPC has acquired its workforce of approximately
95 employees, assumed the advisory contracts with four affiliated real estate
investment trusts ("REITs") and terminated the management contract between Carey
Diversified and Carey Management. As a result of this transaction, WPC has
diversified its revenue sources and entered into a new business segment.

WPC reported net income of $11,375 and a net loss of $9,041 for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared with
net income of $9,470 and $28,917 for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1999. Excluding the $38,000 writeoff of the management
contract on acquisition in 2000, loss and gain on sale of real estate in 2000
and 1999 and the noncash charge for amortization of intangible assets (including
goodwill) of $3,348 and $3,701 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, income for the comparable three-month and
nine-month periods would have reflected increases of $5,677 and $4,632,
respectively, compared to the prior three-month and nine-month periods. The
increase in income as adjusted for the comparable periods is due primarily to
the acquisition of the advisory operations in June 2000.

The increase in total revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods of
2000 of $10,198 and $17,094 was primarily due to the management income for
services rendered to the REITs, and an increase in lease revenues (rental income
and interest income from direct financing leases). Management income earned for
the current three-month and nine-month periods was $9,951 and $12,794,
respectively. Increases in lease revenues of $688 and $3,763 for the three-month
and nine-month periods of 2000 were due to the completion of build-to-suit
projects with America West Holdings Corp. in 1999 and Federal Express
Corporation in 2000 and new leases with Cendant Operations, Inc. and Bell South
Corporation in 1999. This increase in lease revenues was partially offset by the
sale of the KSG, Inc. and Hotel Corporation of America properties in 1999,
pursuant to the exercise of purchase options by the lessees, and the termination
of the Copeland Beverage Group, Inc. lease in 2000.

Income from rising revenues was partially offset by increases in general and
administrative expense, and, to a lesser extent, increases in depreciation,
interest expense and the provision for state and local income taxes. General and
administrative expenses increased due to the acquisition of the advisory
operations, including the personnel and office facilities necessary to render
advisory and administrative services to the REITs. The increase in depreciation
is primarily due to the completion of build-to-suit projects on properties
leased to America West Airlines and Federal Express that went into service in
1999 and 2000, respectively, as well as the acquisition of the Bell South
property, the expansion of the Orbital Sciences Corporation property and the
renovation of a property in Moorestown, New Jersey now leased to Cendant, all of
which occurred during 1999. The increase in interest expense was due to the
mortgage financing of the Bell South property in connection with its purchase,
and placement of limited recourse financing on the America West property in
1999. In addition, interest expense from the $185,000 line of credit increased
because a substantial portion of the interest incurred in 1999 was on borrowings
used to fund construction of the America West and Federal Express projects, and
was capitalized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. The credit facility is a variable rate obligation and has
been affected by increases in the base LIBOR rates during 2000. Management and
performance fees for periods subsequent to the merger have been terminated
effective June 29, 2000, and have resulted in a decrease in property expenses
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. The provision for income
taxes increased as a result of successful efforts by various states to tax
partnerships at the partnership level rather than passing tax liabilities
through to individual taxpayers.

                Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

               (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

WPC is continuing to actively evaluate redevelopment plans for the former
Copeland property, which consists of 18 acres in Los Angeles, California, and is
monitoring developments in connection with the DeVlieg Bullard, Inc. bankruptcy,
a lessee of properties in McMinnville, Tennessee and Frankenmuth, Michigan. The
creditors committee of the DeVlieg bankruptcy has approved an asset sale of the
division that occupies the Frankenmuth property and new leases are being
negotiated at both DeVlieg properties. WPC has also reached an agreement in
principle for a new lease at the McMinnville property and anticipates entering
into a lease with an initial term of three years. Management believes that the
annual rent from the two properties will be at least $700.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Cash flows from operations of $37,871 were sufficient to fund dividends to
shareholders of $35,718 and distributions to minority interests of $1,247. As a
result of the purchase of certain minority interests in connection with the
merger, quarterly distributions to the minority interest owners of the CPA(R)
Partnerships decreased from $586 to $75 during the third quarter. The
distributions for the third quarter are expected to reflect distributions from
operations of the underlying partnerships for the near future. In addition, WPC
used $5,737 to make scheduled principal payments on its limited recourse debt.

Investing activities included using $12,670 for capital expenditures, including
$9,094 to complete construction of the Federal Express build-to-suit project
which was placed in service in February 2000; $527 to buy out the minority
interest of the joint venture partner in the Cendant property; $615 to fund
construction of an additional building in the equity investment in a net lease
with CheckFree Corporation; $921 (along with $778 of WPC shares) to purchase 11
acres of land adjacent to its existing 12 acre multi-tenant property in
Broomfield, Colorado and $1,513 to fund other improvements. The Company received
$3,003 primarily in connection with the sale of properties including the Sunds
properties, ten Kobacker Stores Inc. properties and an AutoZone, Inc. property.
The sales of the Kobacker and AutoZone properties were completed pursuant to
lease provisions that allowed the lessee to purchase back properties under
certain circumstances. Management is evaluating the real estate portfolio and is
actively seeking to sell many of its smaller properties. In January 2000, the
initial installment of deferred acquisition fees for $392 relating to 1998
purchases was paid. WPC has extended its lease with AT&T Corporation for its
property in Bridgeton, Missouri and has made a commitment to fund an expansion
for up to $4,000, and has entered into a commitment to fund an expansion of
$1,428 of a property in Rio Rancho, New Mexico leased to Sprint Spectrum L.P.

Borrowings on the credit facility increased by $44,000 and include funds used
for capital expenditures and purchases of approximately $12,286 of WPC's
outstanding shares. Purchases of shares have been effected when the price is
attractive relative to WPC's cost of capital. WPC is proceeding with placing up
to $45,000 of limited recourse mortgage financing on the Federal Express
property. Any proceeds from a mortgage financing would likely be used to pay
down the credit facility. WPC has entered into discussions to extend its credit
facility, whose three-year term matures in March 2001.

WPC issued 8,000,000 shares recorded at $124,630 in connection with the
acquisition of Carey Management's business operations and contracts. Management
believes that the acquisition will provide WPC with several potential advantages
including, but not limited to, increased diversification of revenue sources,
potentially increased earnings growth rate, the ability to offer a full range of
financial options to corporate property owners and lessees, a strengthened
credit profile and improved access to capital markets. WPC has substantially
increased its asset base without increasing its long-term debt, and may provide
WPC the ability to increase its debt capacity, if necessary. The net income of
the management business of Carey Management has historically grown at a faster
rate than the net income of Carey Diversified and its predecessor partnerships,
and Management believes that the prospects for an increase in the growth rate of
earnings will be improved. Because the capital markets have indicated a strong
preference for internally managed real estate companies, the ability of WPC to
raise additional equity capital in the public markets should be enhanced.

Item 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(in thousands)

$155,595 of the Company's long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates, and
therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the
market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based
upon expected maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related
weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate
debt. The interest rate on the variable rate debt as of September 30, 2000
ranged from 4.56% to 17%.
