                        CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 14
                                  Incorporated
                    A Real Estate Investment Trust Offering a
                        Maximum of $300,000,000 in Shares
                     and a Minimum OF $15,000,000 IN SHARES
                                $10.00 per Share
                               Minimum Investment:
                                   250 Shares
                       200 shares for IRAs and Keogh Plans
              (Minimum investment may be higher in certain states)

      Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (the "Company") intends to
qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Federal tax laws. This
Prospectus describes an investment in the Shares of the Company. The Company may
sell as much as $300,000,000 in Shares.

   
      The Company was incorporated as a Maryland Corporation in June 1997 and
has no operating history.  The Company was formed for the purpose of primarily
engaging in the business of investing in and owning industrial and commercial
real property.  Carey Property Advisors (the "Advisor") will manage the
Company's business.
    

      The Company intends to use investors' money together with borrowed money
to purchase industrial and commercial real estate properties ("Properties").
Generally, Properties will be leased to one tenant deemed to be creditworthy by
the Company's advisor under a lease that will in most cases require the tenant
to pay all of the costs of maintenance, insurance and real estate taxes. Between
approximately 86% and 87% of the total amount of the money raised in the
Offering is expected to be used to purchase this type of real estate, and the
balance is expected to be used for working capital, fees and expenses.

Purchasing the Company's Shares involves certain risks. Investors should be
aware that:

   
      -     Lack Of Diversification If Only Minimum Offering Is Raised. If the
            Company raises only $15,000,000, the Company will have only a few
            investments and will not be diversified.

      -     Market Risks Associated With Real Estate Investments. There are
            market risks associated with investments in real estate, including
            the potential for a decrease in the value of the Properties.

      -     Possible Reduction In Rate Of Distribution Due To Tenant
            Bankruptcy. There is a potential for a reduction in the Company's
            cash flow and its rate of distributions to Shareholders in the
            event that a tenant becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings or
            otherwise fails to fulfill its monetary obligations to the Company.
            Certain tenants of prior Corporate Property Associates programs
            have become subject to bankruptcy proceedings or have failed to
            fulfill their monetary obligations to these prior programs.

      -     Shareholder Sale Of Shares At Less Than $10 Per Share. If a
            Shareholder must sell his or her Shares in the near future, it is
            likely that a Shareholder will have to sell them for less than $10
            per Share.
    
            
      SEE THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 11 OF THIS PROSPECTUS FOR
A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.
AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

      THE USE OF FORECASTS IN THIS OFFERING IS PROHIBITED. ANY REPRESENTATIONS
TO THE CONTRARY AND ANY PREDICTIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, AS TO THE AMOUNT OR
CERTAINTY OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE CASH BENEFIT OR TAX CONSEQUENCE WHICH MAY
FLOW FROM AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY IS NOT PERMITTED.

(1)   If the Minimum Offering is successfully completed, the Company will pay
      certain fees and expense reimbursements to the Sales Agent and Selected
      Dealers in addition to the Selling Commission. See "The Offering" section
      of this Prospectus for a complete description of the amount and terms of
      such fees and expense reimbursements.

(2)   Proceeds calculated before deducting certain Organization and Offering
      Expenses (excluding selling commissions) payable by the Company, which
      expenses are estimated to be approximately [$12,000,000] if 30,000,000
      Shares are sold. To the extent all Organization and Offering Expenses
      (excluding selling commissions and fees paid or expenses reimbursed to
      the Selected Dealers) exceed 3.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the
      excess expenses will be paid by Carey Property Advisors (the "Advisor").
      See "The Offering".

      The money accepted by the Sales Agent and Selected Dealers from the sale
of Shares will be promptly deposited into an interest bearing escrow account at
The United States Trust Company of New York. The interest earned in this account
will be paid to investors. Within 90 days after $15,000,000 has been raised and
certain other requirements have been met, the money will be transferred to the
Company. Money will be transferred from the escrow account to the Company from
time to time. [IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT SELL $15,000,000 IN SHARES AND MEET THE
OTHER REQUIREMENTS BEFORE __________, 1998 [ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF THE
PROSPECTUS], INVESTORS FUNDS IN THE ESCROW ACCOUNT WILL BE RETURNED PROMPTLY AND
THE COMPANY WILL STOP SELLING SHARES.] Otherwise, Investors who have purchased
Shares will become Shareholders when their funds are transferred from the escrow
account to the Company's account. The Company may sell its Shares until they
have all been sold, unless it decides to stop selling them sooner. See "Terms of
the Offering" and "The Offering -- Escrow Arrangements."

information included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The more detailed information
following this summary is set forth in the same order as the topics appearing in

RISK FACTORS

      An investment in the Company has many risks. The "Risk Factors" section of
this Prospectus contains a detailed discussion of the most important risks. The
risk factors are organized into Real Estate Investment Risks (the risks
associated with types of investments in real estate that the Company will make),
Corporate Investment Risks (the risks associated with an investment in a
corporation), Tax Risks (the risks arising from compliance with the real estate
investment trust tax laws as they apply to the Company) and Other Investment
Risks. Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section for a more detailed discussion
of the risks summarized below:

    
   

      -     The risk of not being able to find suitable investments for the
            Company.

      -     The risk of the Company having only a few investments and therefore
            not being diversified.

      -     The risk that an investor will not be able to sell his or her
            investment because there will be no organized market for the Shares
            and the risk that if a Shareholder does sell his or her Shares in
            the near future, it is likely that he or she will have to sell them
            for less than $10 per Share.

      -     Risk Of unspecified investments. The Company was incorporated on
            June 4, 1997 and except for properties the Company indicates it 
            intends to acquire in a supplement to this Prospectus, purchasers
            of Shares will not have an oppertunity to evaluate the terms of the
            transaction of relevant economic or financial data affecting the 
            investments to be acquired by the Company.

      -     Risk of exercise by Shareholders of certain voting rights, including
            the right to elect the Board and the right to amend the Company's
            governing documents, which may be exercised by Shareholders holding
            a majority of the Shares even if holders of 49% of the Shares
            object. The Company's investment objectives cannot be changed
            without the approval of the Shareholders holding a majority of the
            Shares but the Board may change the techniques used by the Company
            to achieve the objectives without Shareholder approval.

      -     Reliance on the Advisor and the Board, which together will exercise
            all management rights subject only to the ability of the
            Shareholders to elect the Board.

      -     Management and their affiliates will receive significant amounts of
            compensation for services rendered to the Company.

      -     Risks of investing in real estate occupied by a single tenant, the
            credit of which is subject to change. Certain tenants of prior 
            CPA(R) Programs have become subject to bankruptcy proceedings or 
            have failed to fulfill their monetary obligations to the affected
            programs. Four of the twelve prior CPA(R) Programs have had to 
            reduce the rate of distributions to their partners as a result of
            bankruptcy filings by tenants. The distribution rate of CPA(R):7 now
            exceeds the rate in effect before the reductions while the
            distribution rate of CPA(R):1, CPA(R):5 and CPA(R):10 have not 
            reached the rate in effect before the reduction.

      -     Risks of investing in real estate that is subject to mortgage debt,
            including the risk that a lender can foreclose on Properties on
            which it holds a mortgage if the Company does not repay the mortgage
            loan or comply with other requirements of the mortgage.

      -     The risk that the future value of real estate cannot be predicted
            and that investors cannot be sure that they will get their capital
            back.
    

<PAGE>   6
   
      -     Dependence on tenants. In leases with single tenants, the financial
            failure of a tenant could result in the termination of its lease
            with the Company which, in turn, might cause a reduction of the 
            cash flow of the Company and/or decrease the value of the property
            leased to such tenant.

      -     Risks of the Company not qualifying as a real estate investment
            trust.
    

TERMS OF THE OFFERING

      The Company is offering its shares on a "best efforts" basis, which means
that no one is guaranteeing how much capital will be raised. No Shares will be
issued unless at least $15,000,000 is invested in the Company. The Company may
sell as much as $300,000,000 in Shares in this Offering.

      Investors must satisfy certain financial requirements in order to purchase
Shares. Please refer to the section of this Prospectus entitled "Terms of the
Offering" for a detailed explanation of these requirements.

ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS

      The money raised in this Offering will be combined with borrowed money to
purchase real estate and to pay all of the Company's expenses. Approximately 86%
of the money raised in the Offering is expected to be invested in real estate
and the rest will be used for working capital and to pay expenses and fees to
the sponsor of the Offering and other entities. A detailed breakdown of the
Company's estimates of the use of the capital raised in the Offering is provided
in the "Estimated Use of Proceeds" section of this Prospectus.

MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

      Carey Property Advisors is the Company's Advisor. The Advisor will manage
the business of the Company under the direction of the board of directors of the
Company (the "Board"). The Company will pay the Advisor and certain affiliated
companies certain fees for these services and will reimburse the Advisor for
certain expenses. Outlined below are the most significant items of compensation.

      -     For identifying, structuring and arranging the financing for real
            estate acquisitions, the Advisor or its affiliates will be paid
            acquisition fees not to exceed in the aggregate 2.5% of the total
            purchase price of all Properties purchased by the Company. With
            respect to each such Property, the Advisor or its affiliates will
            also be paid a fee (the "Subordinated Acquisition Fee") which, when
            aggregated with all other Subordinated Acquisition Fees, shall not
            exceed 2.0% of the total purchase price of all Properties purchased
            by the Company, together with interest on the unpaid portion of such
            Acquisition Fee at the rate of [6%] per annum from the date of
            acquisition of such Property until such portion is paid. Such
            Acquisition Fee and accrued interest is payable in equal annual
            installments on January 1 of each of the eight calendar years
            following the first anniversary of the date such Property was
            purchased. The portion of any Subordinated Acquisition Fee payable
            in any year, and interest thereon, shall accrue but will be withheld
            by the Company for such year unless Shareholders are paid dividends
            ("Dividends") at a cumulative non-compounded return of at least [6%]
            per year. Any such withheld portion of such Acquisition Fee and
            interest shall be payable in the year following the year for which
            Shareholders are paid Dividends at a cumulative non-compounded
            return of at least [6%] per year.

      -     The Advisor will be paid an annual fee, payable on a monthly basis,
            for services rendered under the advisory agreement for asset
            management services (the "Asset Management Fee") of .5% of the
            Company's Average Invested Assets (generally, the total amount
            invested in real estate). The Advisor will also be paid a
            subordinated fee (the "Performance Fee") at the annual rate of .5%
            of the Company's Average Invested Assets, which fee will accrue but
            will be withheld by the Company for any quarter through which the
            Company has not achieved a Cumulative Rate of Cash Flow from
            Operations of at least 7% per year through such quarter. Payable on
            a quarterly basis, either in cash or in restricted stock of the
            Company at the option of the Advisor (the "Option Decision"), such
            initial Option Decision must be made prior to satisfaction of the
            Subordination condition and, thereafter, the Option Decision must be
            made by the Advisor prior to receipt of the Performance Fee. Any
            such withheld Performance Fee shall be payable at the end of the
            quarter through which the Company achieves the Cumulative Rate of
            Cash Flow from Operations. Performance Fees will start to accrue at
            the earlier of
<PAGE>   7
            (1) the first full fiscal quarter during which the Cumulative Rate 
            of Cash Flow from Operations of 7% is first achieved, or (2) the 
            first full fiscal quarter after the end of the Selling Period.

      -     The Advisor will be paid 15% of any appreciation in the value of the
            real estate when the Company sells a Property. This fee will be paid
            only after the Company has returned all of the money invested by
            Shareholders plus a cumulative non-compounded return of [6%] per
            year.

      There are many additional conditions and restrictions on the payment of
fees to the Advisor. There are also a number of other, smaller items of
compensation and expense reimbursement that the Advisor and its affiliates may
receive during the life of the Company. For a more complete explanation of the
fees and expenses and an estimate of the dollar amount of these payments, please
see the "Management Compensation" section of this Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

      The Advisor will have certain conflicts of interest in its management of
the Company. These conflicts will arise primarily from the involvement of the
Advisor and its affiliates in other activities that may conflict with those of
the Company. The directors of the Company that are independent of the Advisor
are responsible for monitoring the Advisor's activities and must approve all of
the Advisor's actions that involve a potential conflict. The "Conflicts of
Interests" section of this Prospectus more fully explains the significant
conflicts of interests.

PRIOR OFFERINGS BY AFFILIATES

      The Advisor and its Affiliates manage the Company and manage 12 existing
real estate investment programs, each using (or at one time using) a derivative
of the name "Corporate Property Associates" ("CPA(R)") (collectively, the
"CPA(R) Programs"), that together have purchased properties over the past 18
years costing in excess of $1.4 Billion. The CPA(R) Programs own real estate
that is similar to the real estate that the Company intends to purchase. A
narrative discussion of the performance of the CPA(R) Programs can be found in
the section of this Prospectus entitled "Prior Offerings by Affiliates." Exhibit
A of this Prospectus includes tables that provide certain statistical
information as well as information on the performance of the CPA(R) Programs.

MANAGEMENT

      The Board will oversee the management of the Company. The Board will
consist of a minimum of three directors. A majority of the directors will be
independent of the Advisor and will have responsibility for reviewing the
performance of the Advisor. The directors will be elected to the Board annually
by the Shareholders.

      The Company has retained the Advisor to manage the Company and to select
the Company's real estate investments. All investment decisions made by the
Advisor must be approved unanimously by the Advisor's investment committee (the
"Investment Committee"). 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 12 years.

      -     Frank J. Hoenemeyer, Vice Chairman, was formerly Vice Chairman,
            Director and Chief Investment Officer of the Prudential Insurance
            Company of America and had responsibility for Prudential's
            investment portfolio.

   
    
<PAGE>   8
   
      -     Dr. Lawrence R. Klein, a member of the Investment Committee, won
            the Nobel Prize in economics in 1980 and is Benjamin Franklin
            Professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania.
    

      For the background of the individuals responsible for the management of
the Company and a more detailed description of the responsibilities of the
Advisor, please see the "Management" section of this Prospectus. For more
information on fees payable to the Advisor or its affiliates, please see the
"Management Compensation" section of this Prospectus.

      Both the Company and the Advisor have offices at 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New
York, New York 10020, (212) 492-1100.

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

      The Company's investment objectives are:

      -     TO PAY QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS AT AN INCREASING RATE THAT FOR TAXABLE
            SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE PARTIALLY FREE FROM CURRENT TAXATION. The
            Company's dividend rate is calculated by dividing the Company's
            quarterly cash dividend from operations by the amount raised in the
            Offering less amounts returned to investors from the sale of
            Properties and Cash from Financings. Although the cash amount of a
            dividend may go down during the life of the Company, the dividend
            rate may continue to increase. If the total amount received by the
            Company from the sale of Properties is less than the total amount
            invested in the Company, a portion of the Dividends paid by the
            Company will represent a return of the money originally invested in
            the Company and not a return on the investment. There can be no
            assurance that the Company will pay regular dividends or that the
            dividend rate will increase. The quarterly rate of increases of
            prior CPA(R) Programs has generally ranged from [.01% TO .25%] with
            an average quarterly increase of [.02%]. While prior CPA(R) Programs
            have occasionally used working capital to pay a portion of certain
            dividends, cash flows from operating activities have generally
            exceeded dividends paid.

      -     TO INVEST IN A PORTFOLIO OF REAL ESTATE THAT WILL INCREASE IN VALUE.
            An individual investing directly in real estate would not have to
            pay the organization and offering expenses expected to be paid by
            the Company (approximately 10% to 10.50% of the Gross Offering
            Proceeds). Therefore, the Company must realize a greater level of
            operating income from, and/or appreciation in the value of, its real
            estate in order for an investor to realize the same return he would
            realize if he invested directly in, and operated, the real estate
            purchased by the Company. [OF THE 70 PROPERTIES SOLD AS OF DECEMBER
            31, 1996 BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS, ALL BUT 23 OF SUCH PROPERTIES WERE
            SOLD FOR CONSIDERATION EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE APPLICABLE
            CPA(R) PROGRAM'S TOTAL INVESTMENT IN SUCH PROPERTIES, INCLUDING
            ACQUISITION COSTS. THE NET GAIN REALIZED FROM THE SALE OF THESE 70
            PROPERTIES BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAS BEEN IN EXCESS OF $9,677,000
            ON TOTAL EQUITY INVESTED OF APPROXIMATELY $85,370,000.] This net
            gain figure does not take into account organization and offering
            expenses which averaged [12%] of the Gross Offering Proceeds for
            prior CPA(R) Programs. Please see the "Prior Performance by
            Affiliates" and the Appendix A for a complete discussion of the
            prior performance of the CPA(R) Programs.

      -     TO INCREASE THE COMPANY'S EQUITY IN ITS REAL ESTATE BY MAKING
            REGULAR MORTGAGE PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. The Company will realize its
            objective of increasing its equity in its Properties by making
            regular mortgage principal payments from income generated from the
            Properties only if Properties are sold by the Company for an amount
            equal to or greater than the original equity investment plus the
            remaining mortgage balance. The average annual mortgage amortization
            for the CPA(R) Programs has been $16,547,000.
<PAGE>   9
      The Company will seek to achieve these objectives by investing in 
industrial and commercial properties. The amount of money raised by the Company
in the Offering and borrowed from lenders will affect the number of Properties
the Company will be able to purchase. The more Properties the Company purchases,
the more diversified it will be and the less it will be affected by any single
Property that does not perform as expected.

      In most cases, at the time a Property is purchased by the Company, it will
be leased to a single corporate tenant. Sometimes, the tenant will also be the
seller of the Property and will have occupied the Property before it is
purchased by the Company. The Investment Committee will evaluate the financial
strength or creditworthiness of each of the Company's tenants. The Company's
leases will in most cases require the tenants to pay all of the Property's
maintenance, insurance and real estate tax costs.

      Generally, the Company will borrow a portion of the purchase price of a
Property. The Company will seek to borrow about 60% but not more than 75% of the
total appraised value of all Properties it purchases. The percentage borrowed by
the Company for any particular Property purchased may be more or less than 75%.
Higher amounts of borrowing will require higher payments and may have an adverse
effect on the Company's ability to profit from its investment in the Property.
The Company generally will borrow money on a non-recourse basis which means that
if the Company is unwilling or unable to repay such borrowed money, the lender
will be permitted to foreclose only on the Property or Properties purchased with
the borrowed money. This protects the remainder of the Properties should one
Property not perform as expected.

      The Company may also lend money or design a transaction in a manner that
will be treated legally as a loan by the Company. If an entity that borrows from
the Company is unable to repay the money it has borrowed, the Company will be
able to foreclose on real estate owned by the borrower. While the Company does
not expect loans to make up a significant portion of its investment portfolio,
no limit has been placed on the amount of the Company's funds which may be
invested in loans. The Company expects that all loans made will be secured by
real property.

      While the Company intends to hold each Property it acquires for an
extended period of time, circumstances may require the early sale of certain
Property. In such an event, the Company may reinvest proceeds from the sales of
Properties. The Company may also reinvest proceeds of the sales of Properties in
the event the shares are listed on a National Securities Exchange or are
included for quotation on Nasdaq. If the shares are not listed, the Properties
are expected to be liquidated beginning five to ten years after the net proceeds
of the Offering are substantially invested.

      The Company's investment objectives cannot be changed without the approval
of the Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares. While the Company intends
to achieve its objectives primarily by purchasing single-tenant, net leased
property, the Company's investment policies may vary as new techniques develop.
The techniques used by the Company to achieve its objectives may, with some
limitations, be changed by the Board (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) without the approval of the Shareholders. Any such change may affect
the types of non-real estate short term investments in which the Company invests
during the interim periods in which capital is not fully invested in Properties.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

      The Advisor is currently evaluating potential Property acquisitions. 
When it appears likely that the Company will purchase one or more additional
Properties, a description of such Properties will be made available to all
potential investors in a document called a supplement. Investors should not
assume that transactions described in a supplement will necessarily be
completed. It is possible that after the supplement is distributed, the Company
or seller will decide not to complete the sale.

INCOME TAX ASPECTS
<PAGE>   10
      The section of this Prospectus entitled "Income Tax Aspects" includes a
discussion of the tax issues which may be important to investors. The section
also includes a discussion of the many rules the Company will have to follow in
order to be treated as a REIT. The Company must be treated as a REIT in order to
avoid paying federal income taxes on dividends paid to Shareholders.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

      The section of this Prospectus entitled "ERISA Considerations" describes
the effect the purchase of Shares will have on retirement plans subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). ERISA is
a federal law that regulates the operation of certain tax-advantaged retirement
plans. Any retirement plan trustee or individual considering purchasing Shares
for a retirement plan should read this section very carefully.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

General

      The Company will not issue stock certificates. A Shareholder's investment
will be recorded on the books of the Company. A Shareholder wishing to transfer
his or her Shares will be required to send only an executed form to the Company.
The Company will provide the required form upon request. The Company expects to
pay dividends quarterly beginning after the first full quarter of the Company's
operations. The Board will determine the amount of any dividends to be paid by
the Company.

Shareholder Voting Rights and Limitations

      A meeting of Shareholders will be held each year for the election of
directors. Other business matters may be presented at the annual meeting or at
special Shareholder meetings. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each
Share owned on all matters that must be voted on by Shareholders, including the
election of directors. Shareholders who are in the minority on questions
presented for Shareholder vote at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is
present will be bound by the decision of the majority on the question voted
upon.

      Shareholder approval is required under Maryland law and the Company's
articles of incorporation and bylaws (the "Organizational Documents") for
certain types of transactions and corporate action. Generally, the
Organizational Documents may be amended upon a vote of Shareholders holding a
majority of the Shares, although the amendment of certain provisions requires
higher than a majority vote. Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares must
approve a merger or a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the
Company's assets other than in the ordinary course of business. Shareholders
objecting to the terms of a merger, sale or other disposition of substantially
all of Company's assets have the right to petition a court for the appraisal and
payment of the fair value of their Shares in certain instances. Shareholders
holding a majority of the Shares are required to approve the voluntary
dissolution of the Company.

Limitation on Share Ownership

      The articles of incorporation of the Company (the "Articles of
Incorporation") restrict ownership by one Person of more than 9.8% of the
outstanding Shares. See "Description of Shares--Restriction on Ownership of
Shares." These restrictions are designed to facilitate compliance with certain
Share accumulation restrictions imposed on REITs by the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").

      For a more complete description of the Shares, including certain
limitations on the ownership of Shares, please refer to the "Description of
Shares" section of this Prospectus.

THE OFFERING
<PAGE>   11
      The section of this Prospectus called "The Offering" describes the manner
in which the Company will sell its Shares and the fees and expenses the Company
will pay in connection with the Offering. This section also describes discounts
available to investors who are interested in investing more than $250,000 in the
Company and to investors of certain CPA(R) Programs upon the occurrence of
certain events.

GLOSSARY

      Words in this Prospectus that are capitalized are defined in the
"Glossary" section. In order to make this Prospectus easier to read, a
simplified definition of certain capitalized words has been provided. These
simplified definitions do not convey all of the intricacies of the defined word
and investors are encouraged to refer to the "Glossary" section for the complete
definition.

                                  RISK FACTORS

      An investment in the Company involves various risk factors including risk
factors related to investing in real estate, risk factors related to investing
in a corporation, tax risks and other general investment risks. In addition to
the factors set forth elsewhere herein, prospective investors should consider
the following:

   
      Risk of Unspecified Investment of Proceeds of the Offering. The Company's
ability to achieve its stated investment objectives and to pay Dividends depends
upon the performance of the Advisor in the acquisition of investments for the
Company. In general, shareholders will have no opportunity to evaluate the
transaction terms and other relevant economic or financial data concerning
investments to be made by the Company other than those described herein. There
can be no assurance (i) that acquired Properties will be desirable
income-producing properties; or, (ii) that desirable income-producing properties
will be available on economically attractive terms. In addition, the
profitability of the Company could be affected by the amount of available funds.
A smaller amount of Gross Offering Proceeds may result in the acquisition of
fewer properties and less diversification of the Company's real estate
portfolio, thereby increasing the potential impact of any investment which
performs below expectations.
    

   
      Risk of Lack of Diversification. The Offering will be closed with Gross
Offering Proceeds of not less than [$15,000,000] nor more than $300,000,000. The
potential profitability of the Company could be affected by the amount of funds
from the Offering at its disposal. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to achieve its leverage objective of borrowing
approximately 60% of the aggregate purchase price of all Properties purchased.
The Company may be unable to obtain mortgage financing on commercially
attractive terms because of the decreased number of commercial banks making
mortgage loans secured by commercial real property generally and, more
specifically, loans secured by single-tenant net-leased commercial real property
of the type in which the Company intends to invest. There can be no assurance
that lending sources will continue to make loans on commercially attractive
terms. The CPA(R) Programs have had leverage goals similar to the Company's
(60%) but have achieved leverage of approximately [55%]. If the Company is
unable to attain its leverage objective because financing is difficult or costly
to obtain, the Company may be limited to investing in fewer Properties.
    

   
      The investment of a smaller sum of money may result in the acquisition of
fewer Properties and, accordingly, less diversification of the Company's real
estate portfolio than the investment of a larger sum in a greater number of
Properties. Lack of diversification will increase the potential adverse effect
on the Company of a single under-performing investment.
    

   
      Lack of Liquidity of Shares. Shareholders may not be able to sell their
Shares promptly at a desired price; therefore, the Shares should be considered
as a long-term investment only. Currently there is no public market for the
Shares. The Company may apply to list the Shares for trading on a national
securities exchange or include them for quotation on Nasdaq if the Board
(including a majority of the Independent Directors) deems such listing or
quotation to be in the best interests of the Shareholders. However, there can be
no assurance that the Company will apply to have the Shares listed or included
for quotation, that any such application will be made before the passage of a
significant period of time, that any application will be accepted or, even if
accepted, that a public market will develop. In any event, it is unlikely that
the Company will apply to have the Shares listed or included for quotation
before the proceeds of the Offering are fully invested. In the event the Shares
are listed, Shareholders may be able to sell their Shares only through the
national securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or through Nasdaq.
There can be no assurance that the price a Shareholder would receive in a sale
on an exchange or on Nasdaq will be representative of the value of the
Properties owned by the Company or that it will equal or exceed the amount a
Shareholder paid for the Shares. Historically, shares of real estate companies
have traded at a discount to their proportionate interest in the appraised value
of the issuer's underlying assets.
    

   
      If the Board decides to list the Shares, the business of the Company may
continue indefinitely and the Company may reinvest the proceeds of the sale of
Properties instead of distributing such proceeds to the Shareholders. In that
case, the Shareholders would be totally dependent upon the securities market for
the return of their initial investment in the Company.
    

   
      Under certain circumstances, the Company may prevent the transfer and/or
accumulation of Shares in order to protect the status of the Company as a REIT
and as otherwise deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the
Shareholders. See "Description of Shares--Restriction on Ownership of Shares."
    

   
      Risk of Unspecified Investments. The Company was incorporated on June 4,
1997 and has no operating history. Except for the properties the Company
indicates it intends to acquire and describes in this Prospectus or in a
supplement to this Prospectus, purchasers of Shares will not have an opportunity
to evaluate the terms of the transaction or the relevant economic or financial
data affecting the investments to be acquired by the Company. Moreover, the
ability of the Company to accomplish its stated investment objectives and the
timing of the receipt by Shareholders of Dividends are dependent upon the
success and timing of the Advisor's acquisition of investments for the Company.
There can be no assurance that any Properties which may be acquired will be
desirable income-producing properties or will increase in value, or that
desirable income-producing properties will be available or can be acquired on
economically attractive terms.
    

   
      Reliance on Management. Investors will be relying entirely on the
management ability of the Advisor and on the oversight of the Board.
Shareholders have no right or power to take part in the management of the
Company except through the exercise of their shareholder voting rights. Thus, no
prospective investor should purchase any of the Shares offered hereby unless the
prospective investor is willing to entrust all aspects of the management of the
Company to the Advisor and the Board. See "Management" for a discussion of the
experience of the directors and officers in real estate investments. Also see
"Conflicts of Interests" for a discussion of the possible realization by the
Advisor and its Affiliates of substantial commissions, fees, compensation and
other income and for a discussion of various other conflicts of interest.
    

   
      The Articles of Incorporation restrict ownership of more than 9.8% of the
outstanding Shares by one Person. See "Description of Shares--Restriction on
Ownership of Shares." These restrictions may discourage a Change of Control of
the Company and may deter individuals or entities from making tender offers for
Shares, which offers might be financially attractive to Shareholders or which
may cause a change in the management of the Company.
    

   
      Shareholders' Votes. Shareholders may take certain actions, including
approving most amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, by a vote
of a majority of the Shares voted. Certain provisions designed to preserve the
Company's status as a REIT cannot be amended without a "supermajority" vote of
66 2/3% of the Shares entitled to vote. All actions taken, if approved by the
holders of the requisite number of Shares at a duly held meeting at which a
quorum is present, would be binding on all Shareholders. Certain of these
provisions may discourage or make it more difficult for a Person to acquire
control of the Company or to effect a change in the operation of the Company.
The Board has the power to cause the issuance of additional Shares without
obtaining Shareholder approval.
    

   
      Limited Liability of Officers and Directors. The Articles of Incorporation
provide that a director's liability to the Company for monetary damages will be
limited. In addition, the Company is obligated under the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws to indemnify its directors and officers and may
indemnify its employees and other agents against certain liabilities incurred in
connection with their service in such capacities. The Company will execute
indemnification agreements with each director which will indemnify the directors
against any such liabilities they incur. Each of these measures could reduce the
legal remedies available to the Company and the Shareholders against such
individuals. See "Management--Limited Liability and Indemnification of
Directors, Officers, Employees and Other Agents."
    

   
      NECESSITY FOR UPDATING REGISTRATION STATEMENT. IN ORDER FOR THE COMPANY
TO PURCHASE SHARES PURSUANT TO THE REDEMPTION PROVISIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS (SEE "DESCRIPTION OF SHARES--REDEMPTION OF SHARES"), THE COMPANY WILL
BE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH THE SEC. AN
UPDATED REGISTRATION STATEMENT IS REQUIRED TO INCLUDE UPDATED GENERAL AND
FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS OBLIGATION COULD RESULT
IN SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE TO THE COMPANY. ALTHOUGH THE COMPANY INTENDS TO MAINTAIN
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE COMPANY
WILL MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT
MAINTAIN A CURRENT REGISTRATION STATEMENT, THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REDEEM
SHARES.
    

      Risks of Real Property Investments. Real property investments are subject
to varying degrees of risk. Real estate values are affected by changes in the
general economic climate, local conditions such as an oversupply of space or
reduction in demand for real estate in the area and competition from other
available space. Real estate values are also affected by such factors as
government regulations and changes in zoning or tax laws, interest rate levels,
the availability of financing and potential liability under environmental and
other laws. These factors may cause the Properties to decrease in value and may
make it difficult for the Company to sell Properties. See "Investment
Procedures, Objectives and Policies."

      Dependence on Tenants. In leases with single tenants, the financial
failure of a tenant could result in the termination of its lease with the
Company which, in turn, might cause a reduction of the cash flow of the Company
and/or decrease the value of the Property leased to such tenant. If a tenant
defaults on its lease payments to the Company, the Company would lose the net
cash flow from such tenant, but might be able to use cash generated from other
Properties to meet the mortgage payments, if any, on such Property in order to
prevent a foreclosure. If a lease is terminated, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to lease the Property for the rent previously received
or sell the Property without incurring a loss. The Company could also experience
delays in enforcing its rights against tenants. Certain CPA(R) Programs have
experienced adverse developments including the filing by tenants for protection
from creditors under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") and involvement in litigation. Four CPA(R)
Programs have had to reduce the rate of distributions to their partners as a
result of adverse developments involving tenants. See "Prior Offerings by
Affiliates."

      In addition, the Company may enter into or acquire net leases with tenants
for Properties that are specially suited to the particular needs of a tenant.
Any such Property may require renovations or lease payment concessions in order
to lease it to another tenant if the current lease is terminated or not renewed.
The Company may also have difficulty selling a special purpose Property to a
party other than the tenant for which the Property was designed.

      Bankruptcy of Tenants. The financial failure of a tenant could cause the
tenant to become the subject of bankruptcy proceedings. Under bankruptcy law, a
tenant has the option of continuing or terminating any unexpired lease. If the
tenant continues its lease with the Company, the tenant must cure all defaults
under the lease and provide the Company with adequate assurance of its future
performance under the lease. If the tenant terminates the lease, the Company's
claim for breach of the lease (absent collateral securing the claim) would be
treated as a general unsecured claim. The amount of the claim would be capped at
the amount owed for unpaid pre-petition lease payments unrelated to the
termination, plus the greater of one year's lease payments or 15% of the
remaining lease payments payable under the lease (but not to exceed the amount
of three years' lease payments).

      Although the Company believes that each of its net lease transactions will
be a "true lease" for purposes of bankruptcy law, depending on the terms of the
lease transaction, including the length of the lease and terms providing for the
repurchase of a Property by the tenant, it is possible that a bankruptcy court
could recharacterize a net lease transaction as a secured lending transaction.
If a transaction were recharacterized as a secured lending transaction, the
Company would not be treated as the owner of the Property, but might have
certain additional rights as a secured creditor.
<PAGE>   13
      Risks Associated with Borrowing. Most of the Company's acquisitions of
Properties will be made by borrowing a portion of the purchase price thereof and
securing the loan with a mortgage on such Property. Although the use of leverage
may increase the Company's rate of return on its investments and allow the
Company to make more investments than it otherwise could, it presents an element
of risk in the event that the cash flow from lease payments on its Properties
are insufficient to meet its debt payment obligations. Certain loans may not be
fully paid by the time the net leases (not including renewal periods) on
applicable Properties expire. If a tenant does not renew its lease with respect
to any Property, the Company may not have sufficient cash flow to make the
required debt payments with respect to such Property unless it is able to
re-lease such Property. If the Company does not make its debt payments as
required, a lender could foreclose on the Property or Properties securing such
debt, and the Company could lose part or all of its investment in such
Properties.

      Lenders to the Company may seek to impose restrictions on future
borrowings, distributions and operating policies of the Company. It is not
possible to ascertain in advance what restrictions may be imposed. As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Company had not created or assumed any indebtedness
for borrowed money. In connection with a mortgage loan with respect to any
Property, the lender may also seek to include as an event of default or an event
requiring the immediate prepayment of the loan the termination or replacement of
the Advisor. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies--Use of
Borrowing."

      Risk of Balloon Payment Obligations. The Company intends to finance the
acquisition of some Properties in part with debt obligations that will provide
for the repayment of principal, in whole or in part, in a lump-sum or "balloon"
payment at maturity. The ability of the Company to make a balloon payment at
maturity may be dependent on the Company's ability to obtain adequate
refinancing of the balloon payment at such time or to sell the Property, both of
which are dependent on economic conditions in general and the value of the
Property in particular at such time. There is no assurance that the Company will
be able to refinance the balloon payment or that the terms of any new loan will
be as favorable as the prior loan. If the Company is unable to refinance the
balloon payment, the Company may be forced to sell the Property securing payment
thereof (or another Property). There is no assurance that the proceeds of any
such sale would be sufficient to make the balloon payment. Any such refinancing
or sale may affect the rate of return to Shareholders and such sale may affect
the projected time of disposition of the Company's assets. To the extent that
Properties are subject to balloon mortgages, the Company's objective of
increasing equity through the reduction of mortgage debt on such Properties may
be more difficult to achieve. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and
Policies."

          Delay in Investment in Real Estate. The return on an investment in the
Company will depend, in part, on how quickly the Company is able to locate and
acquire suitable Properties. The Company's acquisition of a proposed Property
could be delayed by an inability to obtain financing as a result of either the
unattractiveness of financial or other terms of such financing or the lack of
lenders providing financing on any terms. There can be no assurance that the
equity raised by the Company in this Offering will be fully committed to
Property investments in a timely manner. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements
for Qualification as a REIT." Prior to acquiring Properties, the Company's
capital will be invested generally in U.S. government securities, certificates
of deposit from financial institutions having a net worth of at least
$100,000,000 or other short-term investments that are easily convertible into
cash ("Permitted Temporary Investments"). See "Investment Procedures, Objectives
and Policies." The rate of return on Permitted Temporary Investments may be less
than the returns from investments in Properties. Furthermore, prior to the
acquisition of Properties, the Company may not be able to qualify as a REIT and
may not be entitled to depreciation and other deductions.


      The Company's ability to invest the proceeds of the Offering promptly in
desirable income-producing investments may be adversely affected by a decline in
the interest rates on long-term corporate debt securities and by an increase in
corporate
<PAGE>   14
liquidity, as potential tenants may prefer to raise capital by issuing debt
securities or using cash rather than entering into net lease transactions.
Changes to tax laws and changes to laws affecting corporate acquisitions and
reorganizations may also reduce the number of Properties the Company can
purchase.

      Competition for Investments. In connection with the making of investments,
the Company may experience significant competition from banks, insurance
companies, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, pension funds,
limited partnerships, other REITs and other entities with objectives similar to
those of the Company (including certain Affiliates of the Company) and which 
have greater financial resources or experience. See "Conflicts of Interest." An
increase in the availability of funds for real estate investment may increase
competition in the making of investments and may reduce the yields available to
the Company. Competition for investments could reduce the return which the
Company might otherwise be able to obtain.

      Risk of Purchasing Property in Connection With Acquisitions,
Recapitalizations and Other Financial Restructurings. A significant portion of
Property acquisitions are expected to be made in connection with acquisitions,
recapitalizations and other financial restructurings. In some of these
transactions, an acquiring entity may purchase all or substantially all of the
stock or assets of a company, and the acquired company or its successor may
become obligated on the substantial loans necessary to finance the acquisition.
The Company may act as one of several sources of financing by purchasing real
property from the seller or buyer of the subject company and net-leasing it to
such company or its successor in interest (the lessee) or by making Loans to
such entities secured by real estate. The lessee or borrower typically will have
substantially greater debt and a substantially lower net worth than the company
had prior to the transaction. Consequently, the lessee or borrower may be
particularly vulnerable to adverse conditions in its business or industry,
adverse economic conditions generally and increases in interest rates, which
increases may directly or indirectly result in higher payments under the debt
portion of the lessee's lease with the Company and higher debt service payments
under the lessee's loans. In addition, the lessee's payment of rent and debt
service may prevent the lessee from investing in new equipment and from devoting
resources to research and development or making other expenditures which are
necessary to keep the lessee competitive in its industry. Furthermore, if the
lessee or borrower has new management, it will be more difficult for the Advisor
to determine the likelihood of the lessee's or borrower's being successful in
its business and of being able to pay rents throughout the term of a lease with
the Company.

      Risks Related to Making Loans. The Advisor may structure a Company
investment as a Loan. All Loans are subject to some degree of risk, including
the risk of a default by the borrower on the Loan which could require the
Company to foreclose on the Property in order to protect its investment. Under
certain circumstances, the Company may not be able to foreclose on a Property
subject to a Loan and therefore may be unable to acquire an equity interest in
the Property. The borrower's ability to make Loan payments and the amount the
Company may realize after a default will be dependent upon the risks generally
associated with mortgage lending including, without limitation, general or local
economic conditions, neighborhood property values, interest rates, real estate
tax rates, other operating expenses, the supply of and demand for properties of
the type involved, the inability of the borrower to obtain or maintain full
occupancy of the property, zoning laws, rent control laws, other governmental
rules and fiscal policies and acts of God. Additionally, the principal amount of
Loans made by the Company generally will be repaid, in whole or part, in
lump-sum "balloon" payments. Accordingly, the borrower's ability to make such
payment may be dependent upon its ability to obtain refinancing. See "Investment
Procedures, Objectives and Policies." In the case of a leasehold Loan, a default
under the lease could result in the loss of the Company's investment, unless the
Company has the right and ability to cure such default.

      As described under "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies," the
Company may make some Loans which provide for, in addition to payments of base
interest, payment of a portion of the rental increases and/or the appreciation
of the Property securing repayment of the Loan (the "Underlying Real Property"),
or options
<PAGE>   15
to acquire an equity interest in the Underlying Real Property. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a REIT." Loans of this type are
called "participating loans" or "participations." In seeking such
participations, the Company may, in some cases, accept a lower base rent or
interest rate than that available in non-participating Loans or leases in order
to obtain such a participation and the potentially greater benefit that could
result from such portion of the increased value of the Underlying Real Property.
The value of any participation which the Company may be able to obtain will
depend upon future increases in either revenues or the value of the Underlying
Real Property and on the factors inherent in any real estate investment, as
described above. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any amounts will be
realized from the Company's participations. (The Company does not anticipate
that the amounts it will receive from any participations will be significant in
the early years of any investment.)

      The amount of interest which may be charged by the Company on its Loans
may be limited by state usury laws. Such laws impose penalties on the making of
loans with excessive interest rates, including making such debt unenforceable.
While the Company does not intend to make Loans at excessive interest rates,
there are uncertainties in determining the legality of interest rates, which may
be increased as a result of questions as to the treatment as interest of the
equity participations the Company may seek.

      It is also possible that, as a result of the Company's interest in the
rents or proceeds from a sale, financing or refinancing, a court in a bankruptcy
or similar proceeding may treat the Company as a partner or joint venturer with
the borrower or lessee, and the Company, accordingly, would lose the priority
its security interest would otherwise have given it in such situation.

      Risks of Joint Ventures. The Company may participate in joint ventures
with non-affiliated Persons. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and
Policies." An investment by the Company in a joint venture which owns
properties, rather than the Company investing directly in such properties, may
involve certain risks, including the possibility that the Company's joint
venture partner may become bankrupt, may have economic or business interests or
goals which are inconsistent with the business interests or goals of the
Company, or may be in a position to take action contrary to the instructions or
the requests of the Company or contrary to the Company's policies or objectives.
Actions by the Company's joint venture partner might, among other things, result
in subjecting property owned by the joint venture to liabilities in excess of
those contemplated by the terms of the joint venture agreement, expose the
Company to liabilities of the joint venture in excess of its proportionate share
of such liabilities, or have other adverse consequences for the Company. In a
case where the joint venturers each own a 50% interest in a venture, they may
not be able to agree on matters relating to the properties owned by the venture.
Although each joint venturer will have a right of first refusal to purchase the
other venturer's interest in a property if a sale thereof is desired, the joint
venturer may not have sufficient resources to exercise its right of first
refusal.

      The Company also may from time-to-time participate jointly with
publicly-registered investment programs or other entities sponsored by the
Advisor or one of its Affiliates in investments as tenants-in-common or in some
other joint venture arrangement. The risks of such joint ownership may be
similar to those mentioned above for joint ventures and, in the case of a
tenancy-in-common, each co-tenant normally has the right, if an unresolvable
dispute arises, to seek partition of the property, which partition might
decrease the value of each portion of the divided property. The Company or the
Advisor may also experience difficulty in enforcing the rights of the Company in
a joint venture with an Affiliate due to the fiduciary obligation the Advisor or
the Board may owe to the other partner in such joint venture.

      Potential Environmental Liabilities. Under various Federal and state
environmental laws, current or former owners of real estate may be required to
investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product
releases at such property, or may be held liable to governmental entities or to
third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs
incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Such laws
typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether
the owner knew of or caused
<PAGE>   16
the presence of the contamination, and the liability under such laws has been
interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a
reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility. The Company will generally
seek to include a provision in its leases providing that the tenant is
responsible for all environmental liabilities and for compliance with
environmental regulation. Such a provision, however, does not eliminate the
Company's statutory liability or preclude claims against the Company by
governmental authorities or persons who are not parties to the lease. The
Company's leases may also 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
an investigation and clean up of site contamination can be substantial, and the
fact that the property is or has been contaminated, 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 the contaminated site in favor of the
government for damages and cost that it incurs in connection with the
contamination, and certain state and environmental laws provide that such lien
has priority over all other encumbrances on the property or that a lien can be
imposed on any other property owned by the liable party. Finally, the owner of a
site may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and
costs resulting from the environmental contamination emanating from the site.

      Other Federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the removal or
encapsulation of asbestos-containing material when such material is in poor
condition in the event of building, remodeling, renovation or demolition. Still
other Federal, state and local statutes and regulations may require the removal
or upgrade of underground storage tanks that are out of service or are out of
compliance. In addition, Federal, state and local laws, regulations and
ordinances may impose prohibitions, limitations and operational standards on, or
require permits and approvals in connection with, the discharge of waste,
wastewater and other water pollutants, the emission of air pollutants, the
operation of air polluting equipment, the generation and management of materials
classified as hazardous waste and workplace health and safety. Non-compliance
with environmental or health and safety requirements may also 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 of such a requirement in connection with the tenant's operations,
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.

      Risk of Providing Financing to Purchasers of Company's Properties. The
Company may find it necessary or desirable to provide financing to purchasers of
Properties it wishes to sell. This financing may cause any intended liquidation
of the Company to be delayed beyond the time of the disposition of Properties
and until such time as any loans are repaid or sold. The Company may find it
necessary to provide financing in circumstances where lenders are not willing to
make loans secured by commercial real estate or may find it desirable where a
purchaser is willing to pay a higher price for the Property than it would
without the financing. See "Risks Related to Making Loans" above for a
discussion of the risks associated generally with making loans.

      Risk of Incurring Uninsured Losses. The Company typically will require
tenants to maintain liability and casualty insurance of the kind that is
customarily obtained for similar properties. However, certain disaster-type
insurance (covering events of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes) may
not be available or may only be available at rates that, in the opinion of the
Advisor, are prohibitive. In the event that an uninsured disaster should occur,
or in the event a tenant does not maintain the required insurance and a loss
occurs, the Company could suffer a loss of the capital invested in, as well as
anticipated profits from, the damaged or destroyed Property. If the loss
involves a liability claim, the loss may extend to the other assets of the
Company or the subsidiary that owns the Property affected by the loss.

      Casualty and Condemnation Related to Lease Terminations. The leases of
Properties may permit the tenant to terminate its lease in the event of a
substantial casualty or a taking by eminent domain of a substantial portion of a
Property. Should these events occur, the Company generally will be compensated
by insurance
<PAGE>   17
proceeds in the case of insured casualties or a condemnation award in the case
of a taking by eminent domain. There can be no assurance that any such insurance
proceeds or condemnation award will equal the value of the Property or the
Company's investment in the Property. Any such lease termination could adversely
affect the Company's cash flow and the diversification of its net lease
investments.

      Risk of Investment in Real Property Located Outside the United States. The
Company has the authority to invest proceeds of the Offering in Property located
outside the United States. Such investments may be affected by factors peculiar
to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Property is located, including but
not limited to, land use and zoning laws, environmental laws, laws relating to
the foreign ownership of property and laws relating to the ability of foreign
persons or corporations to remove profits earned from activities within such
country to the person's or corporation's country of origin. These laws may
expose the Company to risks that are different from and in addition to those
commonly found in the United States. In addition, such foreign investments could
be subject to the risks of adverse market conditions due to changes in national
or local economic conditions, changes in interest rates and in the availability,
cost and terms of mortgage funds resulting from varying national economic
policies, changes in real estate and other tax rates and other operating
expenses in particular countries and changing governmental rules and policies.

      Accounting for Net Lease Transactions. Under certain accounting standards,
leases are classified for financial reporting purposes as either capital leases
or operating leases, with capital leases required to appear as assets and
liabilities on a lessee's balance sheet. Transactions in which the Company
acquires a deed to a Property may or may not be recognized as a sale for
financial reporting purposes due to the inclusion of certain provisions in the
lease of the Property. These accounting standards might make sale-leaseback
transactions less desirable for the seller-tenant that wants to treat a
sale-leaseback with the Company as an operating lease and, therefore, might
reduce the prospective number of Properties available for net lease investment.

      Risk of Ground Leases. In certain transactions, the Company's interest in
the land constituting part of the Property may be acquired by means of a
long-term ground lease from the tenant or an unrelated third party. The
Company's continued quiet enjoyment and possession of the land as lessee could
be affected adversely by challenges resulting from the ground lessor's financial
failure. Furthermore, the Company's interest in a Property may be acquired by
acquiring the interest as a ground sublessee under a ground sublease. The
Company's continued quiet enjoyment and possession of the land could be
adversely affected in the event the original ground lessee, from whom the
Company's interest would arise, defaulted on its obligations under the original
ground lease.

TAX RISKS

      REIT Status for Tax Purposes. The Company intends to conduct its
operations to enable it to qualify as and be taxed as a REIT. If the Company
qualifies as a REIT, it will be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid to
Shareholders and, therefore, will not be required to pay Federal income tax on
any income it distributes to the Shareholders. The Company will be required to
pay Federal income tax on income it retains or reinvests, certain income or gain
with respect to Foreclosure Property (generally Property the Company acquires as
a result of a default by a borrower or tenant with respect to which it files an
election with the IRS), income from Prohibited Transactions (generally, sales of
certain property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of
business), and if the Company fails certain prescribed income tests, the amount
of income by which such tests were failed. Additionally, the Company may be
required to pay an alternative minimum tax and/or an excise tax. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Taxation of the Company."

      In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must satisfy certain highly
technical requirements. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for Qualification
as a REIT" and "Income Tax Aspects--Statement of Stock Ownership." Failure to
satisfy
<PAGE>   19
these qualification requirements would prevent the Company's qualification as a
REIT, in which case the Company would be taxable as a corporation.

      In addition, should the Company have difficulties locating suitable
Properties and investing the proceeds of the Offering within one year of
receipt, the Company could be disqualified as a REIT, could be subject to tax or
could be delayed in qualifying as a REIT. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements
for Qualification as a REIT." To avoid such disqualification or delay, the
Company may temporarily invest all or a portion of the proceeds in other types
of assets that generate qualifying REIT income. See "Investment Procedures,
Objectives and Policies."

      To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute its
Distributable REIT Taxable Income (generally, 95% of its taxable income less its
net capital gains). See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a
REIT--Distribution Requirement." If in any year, the Company fails to distribute
its Distributable REIT Taxable Income, it would not qualify as a REIT and would
be taxed as a corporation unless the failure results from an adjustment by the
IRS to its REIT Taxable Income. In that event, the Company could satisfy the
distribution requirement by distributing the amount of the adjustment. It is
possible that the Company could be required to borrow funds or liquidate a
portion of its investments in order to pay its expenses, make the required
distributions to Shareholders, or satisfy its tax liabilities. There can be no
assurance that such funds will be available to the extent, and at the time,
required by the Company to maintain its REIT status. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a REIT."

      If the Company were to be taxed as a corporation, the Company would not be
permitted to deduct an amount equal to the Dividends paid to Shareholders and
any payment of tax by the Company could substantially reduce the funds available
for distribution to Shareholders or for reinvestment. In that event, a portion
of Dividends may be a return of capital and Shareholders may be entitled to a
refund of taxes paid on Dividends. To the extent that Dividends had been made in
anticipation of the Company's qualification as a REIT, the Company might be
required to borrow additional funds or to liquidate certain of its investments
in order to pay the applicable tax. Moreover, should the Company's election to
be taxed as a REIT be terminated or voluntarily revoked, the Company may not be
able to elect to be treated as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the
termination of its election unless it satisfies certain conditions. See "Income
Tax Aspects--Termination of REIT Status."

      Changes in Tax Laws. The discussions of the Federal income tax aspects of
the Offering are based on current law, including the Code, the Regulations
issued thereunder, certain administrative interpretations thereof and court
decisions. Consequently, future events (including those arising from legislative
and administrative proposals that are or in the future may be under
consideration) that modify or otherwise affect those provisions may result in
treatment for Federal income tax purposes of the Company and the Shareholders
that is materially and adversely different from that described in this
Prospectus, both for taxable years arising before and after such events. There
is no assurance that future legislation and administrative interpretations will
not be retroactive in effect.

OTHER INVESTMENT RISKS

      Risk of Insufficient Working Capital. There can be no assurance that the
Company will have sufficient working capital. A deficiency of working capital
might be caused by a decrease in gross revenues, by an increase in expenses, by
an uninsured casualty to a Property or by other unanticipated events. There is
no assurance that the Company will be able to borrow money for working capital
purposes. Loan covenants and other restrictions included in the Company's
financing agreements relating to the acquisition of Properties may restrict the
Company's ability to borrow for such purposes or its ability to draw funds from
working capital reserves.

      Investments in Non-Real Estate Assets. The Company will invest Offering
proceeds in Permitted Temporary Investments for a period of up to one year
pending the investment of such proceeds in real estate and in assets other than
real estate which generate qualifying REIT income (which, it is anticipated,
will consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or
FHLMC and,
<PAGE>   20
subject to certain holding period restrictions, equity interests in other
REITs). On a permanent basis, the Company will be required to limit its
investment in qualifying "non-real estate" assets to 10% of the net proceeds of
the Offering.

      Permitted Temporary Investments are generally interest rate sensitive
financial instruments and their value generally will decrease if market interest
rates increase. Thus, if the Company sells its interest in such securities when
interest rates are higher than at the time when the securities initially were
acquired, the Company would likely receive less in such a sale than the amount
it initially paid. Conversely, if market interest rates decline, the underlying
mortgages may be prepaid and the Company may not be able to reinvest the
proceeds at interest rates as favorable as previously obtained.

      Investment by Pension or Profit-Sharing Trusts, Keoghs or IRAs. In
considering an investment in the Company of the assets of a pension, profit
sharing, 401(k), Keogh or other retirement plan or IRA ("Benefit Plans"), a
fiduciary with respect to such a Benefit Plan should consider, among other
things, (i) whether the investment is consistent with applicable provisions of
ERISA or the Code, (ii) whether the investment will produce unrelated business
taxable income, as defined in Section 512 of the Code ("UBTI"), to the Benefit
Plan, and (iii) the need to value the assets of the Benefit Plan annually.

      In certain circumstances, the assets of the Company could be considered
assets of Benefit Plans subject to ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. If that
were the case, certain contemplated transactions between the Company and the
Advisor and its Affiliates might be considered "prohibited transactions" under
the Code and ERISA. The parties engaging in such transactions could become
subject to penalties and excise taxes. Additionally, the Advisor could be
considered a fiduciary under ERISA, subject to the conditions, restrictions and
prohibitions of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and the fiduciaries for each
investing Benefit Plan could be considered to have made an improper delegation
of fiduciary responsibilities to the Advisor. IRAs also could be said to have
permitted an improper commingling of IRA assets with other assets.

      The Company has obtained an opinion of Reed Smith Shaw & McClay (which
opinion is based on the facts and assumptions described in this Prospectus, on
the Articles of Incorporation and on certain representations) that the assets of
the Company should not be treated under current ERISA law and regulations as
plan assets of a Benefit Plan which purchases Shares. The opinion is not binding
on the IRS or on the Department of Labor.

      There can be no assurance that the objective of preventing the assets of
the Company from being deemed, for purposes of ERISA and the Code, plan assets
of those Benefit Plans which purchase Shares will be attained. Even if the
Company complies with such regulations and the assets of the Company are not
considered plan assets, a prohibited transaction could occur if the Company,
CFA, any Selected Dealer, the Escrow Agent or any of their Affiliates is a
fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA) with respect to the purchase by a
Benefit Plan. Thus, unless an administrative or statutory exemption applies,
Shares should not be purchased if any of the above Persons referred to in the
immediately preceding sentence is a fiduciary (within the meaning of ERISA) with
respect to such purchase.

      Plans subject to ERISA and the Code and other exempt organizations are
urged to pay particular attention to the sections of this Prospectus entitled
"Income Tax Aspects -- Taxation of Tax--Exempt Entities" and "ERISA
Considerations" before purchasing Shares.

      Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board of Directors intends to conduct
the operation of the Company so that it will not be subject to regulation under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the Company may have to forego
certain investments which could produce a more favorable return to the Company.
If the Company fails to qualify for an exemption from registration as an
investment company, it will be subject to numerous restrictions under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. A failure to qualify for an exemption under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 could have a material adverse effect on the
Shareholders.

      Dilution. Because investors will pay the same price per Share during the
Offering whether they acquire their shares before or after the Company has made
investments, the value of Shares acquired by Shareholders will be diluted upon
purchase of the Shares by Shareholders purchasing Shares subsequently if
investments previously acquired by the Company have appreciated in value.
Conversely, if investments previously acquired by the Company have depreciated
in value, the value of the Shares purchased by a Shareholder later in the
Offering will be diluted immediately upon the purchase of the Shares. The Board
may authorize the issuance of Shares in addition to Shares issued pursuant to
the Offering or may issue other types of securities, thereby resulting in
possible dilution of the equity of the Shareholders.


                              TERMS OF THE OFFERING

      A minimum of 1,500,000 and a maximum of 30,000,000 Shares are being
offered to the public on a "best efforts" basis by the Sales Agent and Selected
Dealers (which means that no one is guaranteeing the amount of capital that will
be raised). The price of the Shares is $10 per Share (which price has been
determined arbitrarily), subject to certain discounts. See "The Offering." The
minimum subscription is 250 Shares (200 Shares for an Individual Retirement
Account ("IRA") or a Self-Employed Retirement Plan ("Keogh Plan") except for
Minnesota investors and Iowa tax-exempt investors who must make a minimum
investment of 250 Shares). Payment in full is due on transmittal of an order by
an investor or by such investor's authorized representative. Payments will be
deposited promptly in an interest-bearing escrow account maintained with the
United States Trust Company of New York (the "Escrow Agent") until such funds
are released as described below. Such funds will be held in trust for the
benefit of investors to be used for the purposes set forth in this Prospectus.
Orders must be accepted or rejected by the Company within 30 days of their
receipt. An investor whose order for Shares has been accepted by the Company has
no right to withdraw his investment. See "The Offering." The acceptance of
orders by the Company imposes no obligation on the Company to issue Shares. The
Sales Agent and the Selected Dealers may not complete a sale of Shares to an
investor until at least five business days after the date the investor receives
a copy of this Prospectus. Each investor will be sent a confirmation of his or
her purchase.

      The Initial Closing Date will occur as soon as practicable after the
Minimum Offering is achieved, but in no event shall the Initial Closing Date
occur more than 90 days after the Minimum Offering is achieved. After the
Initial Closing Date, Shares will be issued periodically (but not less often
than quarterly), as agreed between the Company and the Sales Agent, until the
termination of the Offering. Investors will receive the proportionate share of
interest earned on their funds for the period such funds are held in escrow. All
such interest earned on the escrowed funds will be paid to Shareholders within
15 days of each issuance of Shares.

          The Offering will terminate at the time all Shares being offered are
sold, unless sooner terminated by the Company. If, as of one year from the date
of this Prospectus or as of the termination of the Offering, whichever occurs
earlier, the Minimum Offering is not achieved, the Company will cancel all
existing orders and, promptly after such cancellation, all funds submitted on
account of such orders will be released from escrow and returned to each
investor together with all interest earned thereon. See "The Offering -- Escrow
Arrangements."


      The Company has established suitability standards for initial Shareholders
and subsequent transferees. These suitability standards require that a
Shareholder have either (i) a net worth of at least $150,000 or (ii) a gross
annual income of at least $45,000 and a net worth of at least $45,000. Missouri
residents must have either (i) a net worth of at least $250,000 or (ii) a gross
annual income of $75,000 and a net worth of at least $75,000. North Carolina
residents must have either (i) a minimum net worth of at least $225,000 or (ii)
a taxable income of at least $60,000 and a net worth of at least $60,000. A
Michigan or Pennsylvania resident's investment in the Company may not exceed 10%
of such resident's net worth. Computations of net worth for purposes of each of
the above suitability standards
<PAGE>   22
exclude the value of a Shareholder's home, furnishings and automobiles. In the
case of sales to fiduciary accounts, the foregoing standards must be met by the
fiduciary account, by the Person who directly or indirectly supplied the funds
for the purchase of the Shares or by the beneficiary of the account. These
suitability standards are intended to ensure that, given the long-term nature of
an investment in the Company, the Company's investment objectives and the
relative illiquidity of the Shares, a purchase of Shares is an appropriate
investment for certain investors. Each Selected Dealer must make every
reasonable effort to determine that the purchase of Shares is a suitable and
appropriate investment for each Shareholder based on information provided by the
Shareholder regarding the Shareholder's financial situation and investment
objectives. Each Selected Dealer shall maintain records of the information used
to determine that an investment in the Shares is suitable and appropriate for a
shareholder. Each Selected Dealer will maintain these records for at least six
years.

                            ESTIMATED USE OF PROCEEDS

      The following table presents information about how the money raised in the
Offering will be used. Information is provided assuming the minimum and maximum
number of Shares are sold. Many of the numbers in the table are estimates
because all expenses cannot be determined precisely at this time. The actual use
of the capital raised by the Company is likely to be different than the figures
presented in the table. The Company expects that approximately 86% of the
money invested by Shareholders will be used to buy real estate, while the
remaining 14% will be used for working capital and to pay expenses and fees,
including the payment of fees to and expenses of certain Affiliates of the
Sponsor of the Company.

*     Subordinated Acquisition Fees, which are intended to be paid from the
      Company's funds from operations and not from proceeds of the Offering,
      have not been included in the table. Subordinated Acquisition Fees
      (excluding interest thereon), will not exceed 2% of the aggregate purchase
      price of the properties.
<PAGE>   24
      Assuming the Company does not borrow money to purchase Properties, the
      Subordinated Acquisition Fees will not exceed $264,000 (1.76% of the
      Public Offering Proceeds), in the event the Minimum Offering is achieved,
      or $5,310,000 (1.77% of the Public Offering Proceeds), in the event the 
      Maximum Offering is achieved, which fees, with respect to any Property, 
      are payable in equal amounts over an eight-year period following the 
      acquisition of a Property, assuming the Preferred Return has been paid. 
      Other terms of the Subordinated Acquisition Fees are described in the 
      "Management Compensation" section of this Prospectus.

(1)   If the Minimum Offering is successfully completed, the Company will pay a
      selling commission of $0.65 per Share sold (except that no commission will
      be paid with respect to any Shares sold to the Advisor, its Affiliates,
      the Selected Dealers or any of their employees for their own accounts).
      Such selling commissions will be reduced in the event of volume discounts
      and in the event of sales to investors of certain CPA(R) Programs under
      certain circumstances, in each case as further described in "The
      Offering."

(2)   Other Organization and Offering Expenses represent all expenses incurred
      in connection with the formation, qualification and registration of the
      Company and in marketing and distributing the Shares under applicable
      Federal and state law, and any other expenses actually incurred and
      directly related to the offering and sale of the Shares, except selling
      commissions. See "The Offering" for a complete description of the fees 
      and expense reimbursements payable to the Sales Agent and the Selected 
      Dealers. In no event shall the total underwriting compensation to be 
      paid to the Sales Agent and Selected Dealers in connection with the 
      Offering, including selling commissions, and expense reimbursements, 
      exceed 10% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, except that an additional 
      0.50% of gross proceeds from sales made by the Sales Agent and each 
      Selected Dealer may be paid for bona fide due diligence expenses. See 
      "The Offering." To the extent all Organization and Offering Expenses 
      (excluding selling commissions, and any fees paid and expenses 
      reimbursed to the Selected Dealers or paid on behalf of the Selected 
      Dealers) exceed 3.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the excess will be 
      paid by the Advisor with no recourse by or reimbursement to the Advisor. 
      See "The Offering" and "Management Compensation."

(3)   Acquisition Fees include all fees and commissions paid by any party to any
      party in connection with the purchase, development or construction of
      Properties and any related mortgage financing, except any Development Fee
      or Construction Fee paid to a Person who is not an Affiliate of the
      Company in connection with the actual development and construction of a
      project after the Company's acquisition of the land. See "Glossary" for
      complete definitions of "Acquisition Fees," "Development Fee" and
      "Construction Fee." Acquisition Fees do not include Acquisition Expenses.
      For purposes of the table only, Subordinated Acquisition Fees have not
      been included as part of Acquisition Fees because such fees will be paid
      from funds from operations of the Company. The presentation in the table
      is based on the assumption that the Company will not borrow any money to
      purchase Properties. Although it is assumed that all the foregoing fees
      will be paid by the sellers of Property, sellers generally fix the selling
      price at a level sufficient to cover the cost of any Acquisition Fee so
      that, in effect, the Company, as purchaser, will bear such fee as part of
      the purchase price. The Company will not purchase any Property that has a
      Total Property Cost (generally, the sum of the costs of purchasing,
      developing, constructing and improving the Property plus the Acquisition
      Fees paid in connection with such Property) in excess of such Property's
      appraised value. See "Management Compensation" for a complete description
      of the terms, conditions and limitations of the payment of fees to the
      Advisor and its Affiliates.

(4)   Acquisition Expenses represent an estimate of all expenses related to the
      selection and acquisition of Properties by the Company, whether or not
      such Properties are acquired, including but not limited to legal fees and
      expenses, travel and communications expenses, costs of appraisals,
      non-refundable option payments on Property not acquired, accounting fees
      and expenses, title insurance and miscellaneous expenses. Acquisition
      Expenses do no include Acquisition Fees.

      The following table sets forth the type and, to the extent possible,
estimates of the amounts of all fees, compensation, income, distributions and
other payments that the Advisor and its Affiliates will or may receive in
connection with the Offering and the operation of the Company. Such payments
initially will result from non-arm's-length bargaining. See "Conflicts of
Interest."

                              Sales and Financings remaining after the
                              Shareholders have received Dividends totaling 100%
                              of Initial Investor Capital plus the Preferred
                              Return.(6)

Estimated Amount              The actual amount to be received will depend upon
                              the results of the Company's operations and the
                              amounts received upon the sale or other
                              disposition of the Properties and are not
                              determinable at this time.
</TABLE>


(1)   The total Acquisition Fees (not including Subordinated Acquisition Fees)
      payable to the Advisor and its Affiliates or paid by the Company may not
      exceed 2.5% of the aggregate Total Property Cost of all Properties
      purchased by the Company with the proceeds of this Offering unless a
      majority of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors)
      not otherwise interested in any transaction approve such excess as being
      commercially competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company. The total of
      all Acquisition Fees (including Subordinated Acquisition Fees and interest
      thereon) and Acquisition Expenses paid by the Company shall be reasonable
      and shall not exceed an amount equal to 6% of the aggregate Contract
      Purchase Price of all properties purchased by the Company with the
      proceeds of this Offering, unless a majority of the directors (including a
      majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in any
      transaction approves fees in excess of this limit as being commercially
      competitive, fair and reasonable to the Company.

(2)   The Company's objective is to achieve total borrowings of approximately
      60% of the purchase price of all Properties. The CPA(R) Programs have had
      similar leverage goals but have achieved leverage of only approximately
      55%. The actual leverage percentage achieved by the Company will impact
      the amount of Acquisition Fees earned by the Advisor because such fees are
      based primarily on
<PAGE>   31
      the total dollars invested in Properties and the amount available for such
      investment will be affected by the amount of the Company's total
      borrowings (i.e., the higher the leverage percentage, the more funds
      available for investment in Properties). If the maximum Offering of
      30,000,000 Shares is sold and the Properties are 75% leveraged,
      Acquisition Fees (not including Subordinated Acquisition Fees) payable to
      the Advisor or its Affiliates as a result of this Offering (assuming an
      aggregate Total Property Cost of all Properties of approximately
      [$1,062,000]) are estimated to be approximately [$26,550,000] and
      Subordinated Acquisition Fees are estimated to be approximately
      [$21,240,000]. The Company does not expect its Properties to be 75%
      leveraged. The advisory agreement between the Company and the Advisor (the
      "Advisory Agreement") provides that the Advisor will not earn Acquisition
      Fees or Subordinated Acquisition Fees on the reinvestment of proceeds from
      the sale or refinancing of Properties, unless the Shares are
      publicly-traded or are expected to be publicly-traded.


   
(3)   There are currently no specific arrangements for the provision of Property
      management services to the Company by the Advisor. Such services shall be
      provided by the Advisor or an Affiliate only if a Property becomes vacant
      or requires more active management than contemplated at the time such
      Property is acquired. However, if the Advisor deems such services to be
      necessary in order to preserve the value of the Property, the Advisor or
      its Affiliates, with the approval of the Board (including a majority of
      the Independent Directors), may provide such services. The maximum
      Property management fee which may be paid to the Advisor or an Affiliate
      will be 6% of gross revenues from commercial Properties (plus reimbursed
      expenses), where such entity performs property management and leasing,
      re-leasing and leasing related services, or 3% of gross revenues, where
      such entity provides only property management services. In the case of
      industrial and commercial Properties which are leased for ten or more
      years on a triple net lease basis, the maximum Property management fee
      from such leases shall be 1% of the Company's gross revenues over the term
      of each lease plus a one-time leasing fee of 3% of the total base rents
      payable for the first five years of the lease term payable in five equal
      annual installments. In no event may the Property management fees paid to
      the Advisor or its Affiliates exceed the usual and customary amounts
      charged for similar services in the same geographic region.
    

(4)   If at any time the Shares become listed on a national securities exchange
      or included for quotation on Nasdaq, the Company and the Advisor will
      negotiate in good faith a fee structure appropriate for an entity with a
      perpetual life. A majority of the Independent Directors must approve the
      new fee structure negotiated with the Advisor. In negotiating a new fee
      structure, the Independent Directors shall consider all of the factors
      they deem relevant, including but not limited to: (a) the size of the
      advisory fee in relation to the size, composition and profitability of the
      Company's portfolio; (b) the success of the Advisor in generating
      opportunities that meet the investment objectives of the Company; (c) the
      rates charged to other REITs and to investors other than REITs by Advisors
      performing similar services; (d) additional revenues realized by the
      Advisor and its Affiliates through their relationship with the Company,
      including loan administration, underwriting or broker commissions,
      servicing, engineering, inspection and other fees, whether paid by the
      Company or by others with whom the Company does business; (e) the quality
      and extent of service and advice furnished by the Advisor; (f) the
      performance of the investment portfolio of the Company, including income,
      conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments
      and competence in dealing with distress situations; and (g) the quality of
      the portfolio of the Company in relationship to the investments generated
      by the Advisor for its own account. The Board, including a majority of the
      Independent Directors, may not approve a new fee structure that is, in its
      judgment, more favorable to the Advisor than the current fee structure.

(5)   Following the termination of the Advisory Agreement by the Company, the
      Advisor shall be entitled to receive payment of any earned but unpaid
      compensation and expense reimbursements, including Organization and
      Offering Expenses and Subordinated Acquisition Fees, Asset Management
      Fees, Performance Fees, Loan
<PAGE>   32
      Refinancing Fees and Subordinated Disposition Fees accrued as of such
      date. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated (i) in connection with a
      Change of Control of the Company, (ii) by the Company for any reason other
      than Cause (as defined in "Management--The Advisory Agreement") or (iii)
      by the Advisor for Good Reason (as defined in "Management--The Advisory
      Agreement"), the Advisor also shall be entitled to the payment of the
      Termination Fee and any Subordinated Acquisition Fees that have not
      accrued. The Advisor shall be entitled to receive all accrued but unpaid
      compensation and expense reimbursements in cash within 30 days of the
      effective date of the termination. All other amounts payable to the
      Advisor in the event of a termination shall be evidenced by a promissory
      note and shall be payable from time to time. The Termination Fee shall be
      paid in 12 equal quarterly installments with interest on the unpaid
      balance. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amounts which may be
      deemed payable at the date the obligation to pay the Termination Fee is
      incurred which relate to the appreciation of the Properties (a) shall be
      an amount which provides compensation to the terminated Advisor only for
      that portion of the holding period for the respective Properties during
      which such terminated Advisor provided services to the Company, (b) shall
      not be due and payable until the Property to which such fees relate is
      sold or refinanced, and (c) shall not bear interest until the Property to
      which such fees relate is sold or refinanced. The Advisor shall not be
      entitled to payment of the Termination Fee in the event the Advisory
      Agreement is terminated because of failure of the Company and the Advisor
      to establish a fee structure appropriate for a perpetual-life entity in
      the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or are
      included for quotation on Nasdaq.

(6)   In the event the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or
      included for quotation on Nasdaq, the Advisor shall be paid the
      Subordinated Incentive Fee in an amount equal to 12% of the excess (the
      "Excess Return") of (A) the sum (the "Hypothetical Return") of (i) the
      market value of the Company, measured by taking the average closing price
      or bid and asked price, as the case may be, over a period, beginning 180
      days after listing of the Shares, of 30 days during which the Shares are
      traded (the "Market Value") plus (ii) the total of the Dividends paid to
      Shareholders from the Initial Closing Date until the date the Shares are
      listed or included for quotation over (B) the sum of (i) 100% of Initial
      Investor Capital and (ii) the total amount of the Dividends required to be
      paid to Shareholders in order to pay the Preferred Return through the date
      the Market Value is determined. The Subordinated Incentive Fee shall be
      increased to 13% if the Hypothetical Return is an amount sufficient to
      return to investors 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus a Cumulative
      Return of 7% or more but less than 8%; 14% if the Hypothetical Return is
      an amount sufficient to return 100% of Initial Investor Capital plus a
      Cumulative Return of 8% or more but less than 9%; and 15% if the
      Hypothetical Return is an amount sufficient to return 100% of Initial
      Investor Capital plus a Cumulative Return of 9% or more. The Cumulative
      Return shall be measured from the Initial Closing Date through the last
      day on which the Market Value is determined. The Subordinated Incentive
      Fee may only be paid if the average closing price of the Shares over any
      consecutive three-month period ending within 24 months of the date of
      listing is sufficient, when added to Dividends previously paid from the
      Initial Closing Date through the end of such three-month period, to return
      100% of Initial Investor Capital plus a 6% Cumulative Return from the
      Initial Closing Date through the last day of such three-month period. The
      Company shall have the option to pay such fee in the form of cash, a
      promissory note or any combination thereof. In the event the Subordinated
      Incentive Fee is paid to the Advisor as a result of the listing of the
      Shares, no Termination Fee will be paid to the Advisor if the Advisory
      Agreement is terminated after such listing.

(7)   For purposes of calculating the value per share of restricted stock given
      in satisfaction of the Performance Fee, if such payment in stock is
      elected by the Advisor, the price per share shall be (i) the Net Asset
      Value per Share as determined by the most recent appraisal performed by an
      independent third party or, if an appraisal has not yet been performed,
      (ii) $10 per Share. Such restricted stock will not vest for a period of
      five years and is non-transferable during this vesting period.

                              CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

      Various conflicts of interest may arise in the operation of the Company's
business. The Independent Directors will determine the manner in which the
Company will participate in any transaction, will have an obligation to function
on behalf of the Company in all situations in which a conflict of interest may
arise and will have
<PAGE>   33
a fiduciary obligation to act on behalf of the Shareholders. Possible conflicts
of interest include the following:

      Receipt of Commissions, Fees and Other Compensation by the Advisor and its
Affiliates. A transaction involving the purchase, financing, lease and sale of
any Property by the Company may result in the immediate realization by the
Advisor and its Affiliates of substantial commissions, fees, compensation and
other income. Subject to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has discretion with
respect to all decisions relating to any such transaction, except to the extent
such transaction involves Affiliates of the Advisor or relates to the making or
purchasing of any Loans on behalf of the Company, in which case such transaction
must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. Potential conflicts
may arise in connection with the determination by the Advisor (on behalf of the
Company) of whether to hold or sell a Property, as such determination could
impact the timing and amount of fees payable to the Advisor. The Company may
purchase, sell or finance Properties through certain Affiliates of the Advisor
engaged in the real estate brokerage business or through other Affiliates of the
Company.

      Non-Arm's-Length Agreements. Except as otherwise provided below, all
agreements and arrangements, including those relating to compensation, between
the Company and the Advisor or any of its Affiliates will not be the result of
arm's-length negotiations. Certain provisions of the bylaws of the Company (the
"Bylaws"), however, target generally potential conflicts which might otherwise
result from such agreements and arrangements by, among other things, requiring
that compensation to the Advisor and its Affiliates be approved by a majority of
the Independent Directors and that terms of future transactions with Affiliates
be no less favorable to the Company than terms which could be obtained from
unaffiliated entities providing similar services as an ongoing activity in the
same geographical location. The initial Independent Directors were selected by
the Sponsor.

      Purchases and Loans from Affiliates. The Company may purchase Properties
from Affiliates of the Advisor if such purchase is consistent with the
Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies of the Company and if certain
other conditions are met. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies."
The Company also may borrow funds from the Advisor or its Affiliates (a) if, at
any time when proceeds of the Offering are being held by the Escrow Agent, the
Company does not have sufficient funds to provide the equity portion of a
particular investment and (b) to provide the debt portion of a particular
investment if (i) the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan at such time
or, in the judgment of the Board, it is not in the best interest of the Company
to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and (ii) the
Board has reason to believe that the Company will be able to obtain a permanent
loan on or prior to the end of the loan term provided by the Advisor or such
Affiliate. See "Investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies." The Company may
borrow funds on a short-term basis from the Advisor or its Affiliates.

      The Company may not invest in other REITs advised or managed, directly or
through Affiliates, by the Sponsor, its subsidiaries or William P. Carey and
with respect to which the Sponsor, its subsidiaries or William P. Carey receive
separate fees, and will not sell Properties to the Sponsor, the Advisor or any
director or any of their respective Affiliates, except in the case of an
exercise of a right of first refusal by an affiliated joint venture partner.

      Every transaction entered into between the Company and the Advisor or its
Affiliates is subject to an inherent conflict of interest. The Board may
encounter conflicts of interest in enforcing rights of the Company against any
Affiliate in the event of a default by or disagreement with such Affiliate or in
invoking powers, rights or options pursuant to any agreement between the Company
and such Affiliates. Each transaction between the Company and the Advisor or any
of its Affiliates must be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors
who are otherwise disinterested in the transaction as being fair and reasonable
to the Company and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Company than
those available from unaffiliated third parties.

      Competition with the Company from Affiliates of the Advisor in the
Purchase, Sale, Lease and Operation of Properties. W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. ("W.P.
Carey & Co.") specializes in providing lease financing services to major
corporations and,
<PAGE>   34
therefore, may be in competition with the Company with respect to Properties,
potential purchasers, sellers and lessees of Properties, and mortgage financing
for Properties. W.P. Carey & Co., its subsidiaries and William P. Carey
currently manage or advise public and private real estate investment
partnerships and REITs whose investment and rate of return objectives are
substantially similar to those of the Company. In addition, they expect to
manage or advise, directly or through Affiliates, additional REITs, public and
private investment partnerships and other investment entities.

      The CPA(R) Programs have investment policies similar to those of the
Company and, therefore, may be in competition with the Company for Properties,
potential purchasers, sellers and lessees of Properties, and mortgage financing
for Properties. Affiliates of the Advisor intend to offer interests in other
REITs, partnerships or public or private investment entities, some of which may
have similar investment objectives as the Company and may be in a position to
acquire Properties at the same time as the Company. Affiliates of the Advisor
may have an ownership interest in such other REITS.

      The Advisor will use best efforts to present suitable investments to the
Company consistent with the investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies of
the Company. However, the Advisor is not restricted from advising or managing
other entities, any of which may have investment objectives similar to those of
the Company. If the Advisor or any of its Affiliates is presented with a
potential investment in a Property which might be made by more than one
investment entity which it advises or manages, the decision as to the
suitability of such Property for investment by a particular entity will be based
upon a review of the investment portfolio of each such entity and upon factors
such as cash flow from the Property, the effect of the acquisition thereof on
the diversification of each entity's portfolio, rental payments during any
renewal period, the estimated income tax effects of the purchase on each entity,
the amount of equity required to make the investment, the policies of each
entity relating to leverage, the funds of each entity available for investment,
the length of time such funds have been available for investment and the manner
in which the potential investment can be structured by each entity.
Consideration will be given to joint ownership (e.g., tenancy-in-common or joint
venture arrangement) of a particular Property determined to be suitable for more
than one investment entity in order to achieve diversification of each entity's
portfolio and efficient completion of an entity's portfolio. In such joint
ownership, the investment of each entity will be on substantially similar terms
and conditions, compensation to the organizer of each investment entity will be
similar and each investment entity will have a right of first refusal to
purchase the interest of the other if a sale of that interest is contemplated.
See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks--Risks of Joint Ventures." To
the extent that a particular Property might be determined to be suitable for
more than one investment entity, priority generally will be given to the
investment entity having uninvested funds for the longest period of time. It is
the responsibility of the directors (including the Independent Directors) to
insure that the method used to allocate transactions is applied fairly to the
Company.

      Adjacent Properties. Although it is not expected to occur, if the Advisor
or any of its Affiliates acquires Properties that are adjacent to those of the
Company, the value of such Properties may be enhanced by the interests of the
Company. It also is possible that such Properties could be in competition with
those of the Company for prospective tenants.

      Competition with the Company from Affiliates of the Advisor for the Time
and Services of Officers and Directors. The Company will depend on the Board and
the Advisor for the operation of the Company and for the acquisition, operation
and disposition of its investments. Most officers of Carey Fiduciary Advisors,
Inc. ("CFA"), the general partner of the Advisor, are also officers, directors
and/or employees of W.P. Carey & Co. The general partners of the CPA(R) Programs
are Affiliates of the Advisor, and CFA is the general partner of the Advisor to
CPA(R):10, CIP(TM) and CPA(R):12. The Advisor serves in the same advisory
capacity for CPA(R):10, CIP(TM) and CPA(R):12. The Advisor has entered into the
Advisory Agreement with the Company pursuant to which it will perform certain
functions relating to the investment of the Company's funds and the day-to-day
management of the Company. See "Management--The Advisory Agreement." Certain
officers of Affiliates of the Advisor will be performing
<PAGE>   35
similar services for the CPA(R) Programs and may perform such services for
REITs, partnerships or other investment entities offered in the future by
Affiliates of the Advisor. CFA, the Advisor and their Affiliates will devote
such time to the affairs of the Company as they, within their sole discretion,
exercised in good faith, determine to be necessary for the benefit of the
Company and the Shareholders. See "Management." Neither the Sales Agent, the
Advisor nor any of their Affiliates are restricted in any manner as a result of
their connection with the Company and the Offering from acting as general
partner, advisor, underwriter, selling agent or broker-dealer in public or
private offerings of securities in REITs, real estate partnerships or other
entities which may have objectives similar to those of the Company and which are
sponsored by Affiliated or non-Affiliated Persons.

      Affiliated Sales Agent. The Sales Agent, a subsidiary of W.P. Carey & Co.
and an Affiliate of the Advisor, will receive a selling commission for each
Share sold by it (except for sales made to the Advisor, its employees or its
Affiliates) and Annual Servicing Fees with respect to Shares held by its
clients, and will receive reimbursement for certain expenses. See "The
Offering."

      Common Counsel. Reed Smith Shaw & McClay, counsel for the Company in
connection with the Offering, is also counsel to the Advisor, the Sales Agent
and various Affiliates, including the CPA(R) Programs and W.P. Carey & Co. In
the event any legal controversy arises in which the interests of the Company
appear to be in conflict with those of the Advisor, the Sales Agent or their
Affiliates, other counsel will be retained for one or more parties. Michael B.
Pollack, Senior Vice President and Secretary of the Company, is a partner in
Reed Smith Shaw & McClay. See "Management" and "Legal Opinions."

      Advisor's and Selected Dealers' Ownership Interest in the Company. For the
purpose of providing the initial capitalization of the Company, the Advisor has
acquired 20,000 Shares, constituting 100% of the Shares prior to the Offering.
If the Minimum Offering is achieved, the Advisor will own approximately [1.3%]
of the Shares, if the maximum number of Shares are sold in the Offering, the
Advisor will own approximately [0.07%] of the Shares. The Advisor and its
Affiliates and employees, and the Selected Dealers and their employees are not
restricted from acquiring Shares and may purchase an unlimited number of Shares
on the same terms and conditions as the Shareholders except that such purchases
shall be net of commissions. Any additional purchases (other than the 20,000
Shares currently owned by the Advisor) will be included for the purpose of
achieving the Minimum Offering, provided, however, that only 75,000 Shares
purchased by the Advisor will be included for such purpose. In addition, if the
Advisor purchases additional Shares for investment, the Advisor could own a
percentage of Shares greater than such amounts. Any Shares owned by the Advisor
or the Affiliates of the Advisor can be expected to be voted in the Advisor's
interest in matters requiring the approval of the holders of a majority of the
Shares and any other matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders. There are
instances in which Shares held by the Advisor, the Company's directors or their
Affiliates will not be permitted to vote. See "Management" and "Shareholders"
sections of this Prospectus for further details.
<PAGE>   36
      The following chart shows the relationship among the Advisor, its general
partner, its Affiliates and the Company.  See "Management."

      AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996, THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAD RAISED A TOTAL OF
APPROXIMATELY $771,040,873 FROM APPROXIMATELY 46,900 INVESTORS. THROUGH THAT
DATE, THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS ORIGINALLY HAD PURCHASED A TOTAL OF 386 PROPERTIES,
AT AN AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $1,408,898,000 (INCLUDING
CAPITALIZED COSTS OF APPROXIMATELY $30,741,000), WHICH CONSISTS OF EQUITY
INVESTMENTS OF APPROXIMATELY $639,549,000 AND MORTGAGE FINANCING OF
APPROXIMATELY $769,349,000. ALL OF THE PROPERTIES PURCHASED ARE INDUSTRIAL OR
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED (ON THE BASIS OF PURCHASE PRICE,
INCLUDING ADDITIONAL CAPITALIZED COSTS) AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996: 29.08% ARE
MANUFACTURING PLANTS; 25.37% ARE OFFICE BUILDINGS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES;
18.96% ARE RETAIL STORES; 17.00% ARE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS AND WAREHOUSES AND

      WHEN ACQUIRED BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS, APPROXIMATELY 21.62% OF THE
PROPERTIES HAD NEWLY CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS AND APPROXIMATELY 78.38% HAD
PREVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS (PERCENTAGE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF PURCHASE
PRICE, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL CAPITALIZED COSTS). SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE
PROPERTIES WERE FULLY CONSTRUCTED WHEN PURCHASED BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS. WHEN
PURCHASED BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS, ALL OF THE PROPERTIES WERE SINGLE-TENANT
COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND GOVERNMENTAL REAL PROPERTY (OR INTERESTS THEREIN).
THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE MADE NO LOANS OR PARTICIPATING LOANS AND HAVE ENTERED
INTO 30 JOINT VENTURES WITH AFFILIATED PROGRAMS (23% OF ALL TRANSACTIONS ENTERED
INTO BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS). MORE DETAILED INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO
INVESTMENTS BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS IS SEPARATELY PRESENTED IN TABULAR FORM FOR
THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS IN EXHIBIT 99 TO PART II OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT. UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE DIRECTOR OF INVESTOR RELATIONS , 50 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA,
NY, NY 10020, (800) 972-2739, THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE, AT NO FEE, COPIES OF

      THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE HAD SIMILAR LEVERAGE GOALS TO THAT OF THE COMPANY
(60% OF TOTAL PROPERTY COST OF ALL PROPERTIES PURCHASED) BUT ON AVERAGE HAVE
ACHIEVED LEVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 55%. FOR FULLY INVESTED CPA(R) PROGRAMS, THE
APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE OF LEVERAGE ACHIEVED IS AS FOLLOWS: CPA(R):1--59%;
CPA(R):2--56%; CPA(R):3--53%; CPA(R):4--54%; CPA(R):5 -- 57%; CPA(R):6--58%;
CPA(R):7--54%; CPA(R):8--54%; CPA(R):9--60%; CPA(R):10--63%; AND CIP(TM)--56%;

      61 COMPLETE PROPERTIES AND UNIMPROVED PORTIONS OF NINE OTHER PROPERTIES
PURCHASED BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAD BEEN SOLD AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996. ALL BUT
23 OF SUCH PROPERTIES WERE SOLD FOR CONSIDERATION EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE
APPLICABLE CPA(R) PROGRAM'S TOTAL INVESTMENT IN SUCH PROPERTIES, INCLUDING
ACQUISITION COSTS. THE PROPERTIES SOLD WERE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED FOR A TOTAL
PURCHASE PRICE OF APPROXIMATELY $195,989,000 AND AN INITIAL EQUITY INVESTMENT OF
APPROXIMATELY $85,370,000. APPROXIMATELY $205,667,000 WAS RECEIVED FROM THE SALE
OF THESE PROPERTIES (PLUS APPROXIMATELY $1,906,000 IN ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION
RECEIVED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH SALES) WHILE NET PROCEEDS RECEIVED (AFTER
EXPENSES AND THE REPAYMENT OF MORTGAGES) WERE APPROXIMATELY $118,340,000. NO
PURCHASE MONEY OBLIGATIONS WERE RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SALE OF SUCH PROPERTIES. MORE DETAILED INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROPERTIES SOLD BY THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 1992 AND DECEMBER 31,
1996 IS PRESENTED IN TABULAR FORM IN TABLE V (SALES OR DISPOSITIONS OF
PROPERTIES) IN EXHIBIT A TO THIS PROSPECTUS.

      THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE ADOPTED INVESTMENT POLICIES WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF OCCURRENCE OF ADVERSE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS AS WELL AS TO
MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF ANY ADVERSE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. IN SELECTING
INVESTMENTS, FACTORS SUCH AS THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF A TENANT, THE CONDITION AND
USE OF THE PROPERTY, AND GEOGRAPHIC AND INDUSTRY DIVERSIFICATION ARE CONSIDERED
IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ADVERSE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS TO THE CPA(R)
PROGRAMS. AS PART OF THE PROPERTY SELECTION PROCESS, THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS OFTEN
ATTEMPT TO SELECT PROPERTIES WHICH ARE NECESSARY TO THE OPERATIONS OF A TENANT
SO THAT, IN THE EVENT THAT SUCH TENANT UNDERGOES A REORGANIZATION DUE TO
BANKRUPTCY, THE LEASE PROVISIONS ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE MODIFIED. IN ADDITION, IN
ORDER TO MINIMIZE THEIR EXPOSURE, THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS ALSO ATTEMPT TO UTILIZE
NONRECOURSE MORTGAGE FINANCING.


   
      CERTAIN CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE EXPERIENCED ADVERSE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
WHICH HAVE INCLUDED THE FILING BY CERTAIN TENANTS FOR PROTECTION FROM CREDITORS
UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, THE VACATING OF FACILITIES BY A TENANT AT THE END OF
AN INITIAL LEASE TERM, AND LITIGATION WITH TENANTS INVOLVING LEASE DEFAULTS AND
SALES OF PROPERTIES. THESE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE CAUSED A REDUCTION IN CASH FLOW
AND/OR AN INCREASE IN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES OF THE AFFECTED CPA(R) PROGRAMS
FOR CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME, BUT, WITH FOUR EXCEPTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW, HAVE
NOT CAUSED THE AFFECTED CPA(R) PROGRAMS TO REDUCE THEIR RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO
PARTNERS. SEE TABLE III (OPERATING RESULTS OF PRIOR PROGRAMS) IN EXHIBIT A TO
THIS PROSPECTUS FOR OVERALL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE AFFECTED CPA(R)
PROGRAMS.
    

      THE GENERAL PARTNERS OF THE AFFECTED CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE UNDERTAKEN A
NUMBER OF MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN ADVERSE BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENTS, SUCH AS RE-LEASING PROPERTIES VACATED BY INITIAL TENANTS;
REFINANCING MORTGAGE LOANS AND RESTRUCTURING TERMS OF EXISTING MORTGAGE LOANS;
RESTRUCTURING LEASE TERMS; SELLING PROPERTIES; AND, IN THE CASE OF LITIGATION,
VIGOROUSLY DEFENDING THE INTERESTS OF AFFECTED CPA(R) PROGRAMS AND, WHERE
APPROPRIATE, SETTLING LITIGATION. OF THE APPROXIMATELY 150 TENANTS WITH WHICH
THE CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE ENTERED INTO LEASES, 15 HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY SOUGHT
PROTECTION FROM CREDITORS IN BANKRUPTCY. PROPERTIES FORMERLY LEASED TO NINE OF
THESE TENANTS HAVE BEEN RE-LEASED OR SOLD. FOUR OTHER TENANTS HAVE AFFIRMED
THEIR LEASES AND THE LEASES OF THE REMAINING TWO TENANTS ARE CURRENTLY THE
SUBJECT OF NEGOTIATIONS DESCRIBED BELOW.

      MOST CPA(R) PROGRAMS IN WHICH ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTS HAVE OCCURRED HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS AND MAINTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR PARTNERS,
PRIMARILY AS A RESULT OF THE EFFORTS OF THE GENERAL PARTNERS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND
BELOW AND THE EXISTENCE OF A WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE ESTABLISHED AT THE
INCEPTION OF EACH CPA(R) PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL CPA(R) PROGRAMS HAVE
EXPERIENCED THE TYPES OF ADVERSE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS DESCRIBED ABOVE, ONLY
FOUR CPA(R) PROGRAMS, CPA(R):1, CPA(R):5, CPA(R):7 AND CPA(R):10 HAVE HAD TO
REDUCE THE RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR PARTNERS AS A RESULT OF ADVERSE
DEVELOPMENTS. THE ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WERE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR
CAUSING THESE REDUCTIONS IN THE RATE OF DISTRIBUTIONS ARE, IN THE CASE OF
CPA(R):1, THE BANKRUPTCY FILING BY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY, IN THE CASE OF CPA(R):5
THE SALE OF TWO PROPERTIES AND IN THE CASE OF CPA(R):7, THE BANKRUPTCY FILINGS
OF YELLOW FRONT STORES, INC. AND NV RYAN L.P. THE REDUCTIONS IN DISTRIBUTION
RATES IN EACH OF CPA(R):1, CPA(R):5 AND CPA(R):7 WERE FOLLOWED BY INCREASES IN
THE DISTRIBUTION RATES. THE DISTRIBUTION RATE OF CPA(R):7 NOW EXCEEDS THE RATE
IN EFFECT BEFORE THE REDUCTIONS WHILE THE DISTRIBUTION RATE OF CPA(R):1 AND
CPA(R):5 HAVE NOT REACHED THE RATE IN EFFECT BEFORE THE REDUCTION.
<PAGE>   39
      MOST OF THE ADVERSE DEVELOPMENTS WHICH HAVE OCCURRED HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
THESE INCLUDE THE FILINGS FOR PROTECTION FROM CREDITORS UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY
CODE BY THE FOLLOWING TENANTS OF THE FOLLOWING CPA(R) PROGRAMS: SAXON
INDUSTRIES, INC. (CPA(R):1 AND CPA(R):2); STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
(CPA(R):1); THE LESLIE FAY COMPANY (CPA(R):3); KNUDSEN CORPORATION (CPA(R):3 AND
CPA(R):4); GULF CONSOLIDATED SERVICES, INC. (CPA(R):4); THREE GUYS INC. LTD.
(CPA(R):4); WILLIAMS HAND TOOL, INC. (CPA(R):5); AMERICAN TRIM PRODUCTS INC.
(CPA(R):5); YELLOW FRONT STORES, INC. (CPA(R):7); NVRYAN L.P. (CPA(R):7,
CPA(R):8 AND CPA(R):9); HARVEST FOOD, INC. (CPA(R):10 AND CIP(TM); AND
SPORTSTOWN, INC. (CIP(TM)). THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE ADDRESSED
THESE BANKRUPTCIES PRIMARILY BY RE-LEASING THE PROPERTIES TO NEW TENANTS OR BY
RESTRUCTURING THE ORIGINAL LEASES AT A REDUCED RENTAL. CERTAIN OF THE PROPERTIES
HAVE BEEN SOLD AT A LOSS OR TRANSFERRED IN EXCHANGE FOR A RELEASE OF THE RELATED
MORTGAGE DEBT. IN THE CASE OF THE BANKRUPTCY FILING BY SAXON INDUSTRIES, INC.,
HOWEVER, ITS TWO LEASES WERE AFFIRMED IN BANKRUPTCY. IN THE CASE OF THE
BANKRUPTCY FILING BY KNUDSEN CORPORATION, SEVEN OF THE EIGHT PROPERTIES WHICH
HAD BEEN LEASED TO KNUDSEN CORPORATION WERE SOLD AT A GAIN, GENERATING MORE THAN
ENOUGH CASH TO RETIRE THE ENTIRE MORTGAGE DEBT ON ALL EIGHT PROPERTIES. THE
REMAINING PROPERTY WAS LEASED TO A NEW TENANT. IN ADDITION, AS A RESULT OF
VIGOROUS LITIGATION EFFORTS PURSUED BY THE GENERAL PARTNERS, CERTAIN PROGRAMS
HAVE BEEN AWARDED SUBSTANTIAL AWARDS FROM BANKRUPTCY SETTLEMENTS. CPA(R):1
RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT OF CASH AND SECURITIES WITH A MARKET VALUE OF
APPROXIMATELY $2.5 MILLION IN CONNECTION WITH THE STORAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
BANKRUPTCY. CPA(R):7 AND CPA(R):8 WERE PAID A RESTRUCTURING FEE OF $2.6 MILLION
IN EXCHANGE FOR AMENDING CERTAIN LEASES AND CPA(R):9 RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY
$456,000, IN EACH CASE IN CONNECTION WITH SETTLEMENT OF BANKRUPTCY CLAIMS
AGAINST NVRYAN L.P.

   
      IN MAY 1995, CPA(R):3 REACHED A SETTLEMENT RESOLVING ALL OUTSTANDING
ISSUES IN ITS DISPUTE WITH LESLIE FAY AND NATIONAL UNION (THE "SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT"). IN JUNE, 1995, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED BY THE
BANKRUPTCY COURT. AS A RESULT OF THIS SETTLEMENT, THE PARTNERSHIP RECEIVED A
TOTAL OF $18,839,749 FOR THE TERMINATION OF LESLIE FAY'S INTEREST IN THE
PROPERTY AND $2,000,000 IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY. THE
PARTNERSHIP MADE A SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION OF $50.00 PER UNIT IN JULY, 1992 AND
$120 IN OCTOBER 1995 AND HAS NOT YET DETERMINED HOW IT WILL USE THE REMAINING
PROCEEDS OF THE SETTLEMENT WITH LESLIE FAY AND NATIONAL UNION AND THE SALE OF
THE PROPERTY.

      Additional information concerning the CPA(R) Programs is set forth in
tabular form in Exhibit A to this Prospectus. See "Experience in Raising and
Investing Funds" in Table I; "Compensation to Sponsor" in Table II; "Operating
Results of Prior Programs" in Table III; and "Sales or Dispositions of
Properties" in Table V. In addition, upon written request to the Director of
Investor Relations, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020, (800) 972-2739,

10-K) filed by any of the CPA(R) Programs and, at a reasonable fee, the
exhibits to such annual report.

                                   MANAGEMENT

      The Company will operate under the direction of the Board, the members of
which are accountable to the Company and its Shareholders as fiduciaries. A
majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of the directors have
reviewed and ratified the Articles of Incorporation and have adopted the Bylaws.
The Board will be responsible for the management and control of the affairs of
the Company; however, the Board will retain the Advisor to manage the Company's
day-to-day affairs and the acquisition and disposition of investments, subject
to the Board's supervision. The Company currently has [FIVE] directors; it must
have at least three and may have no more than nine directors.

      A majority of the Board must be comprised of Independent Directors, except
for a period of 90 days after the death, removal or resignation of an
Independent Director. An Independent Director may not, directly or indirectly
(including through a member of his immediate family), own any interest in, be
employed by, have any material business or professional relationship with, or
serve as an officer or director of, the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their
Affiliates, except that an Independent Director may serve as a director, officer
or trustee for not more than [two] other REITs organized by the Sponsor or
advised by the Advisor. Except to carry out the responsibilities of director, an
Independent Director may not perform material services for the Company. [TWO OF
THE DIRECTORS ARE AFFILIATES OF THE ADVISOR AND THREE ARE INDEPENDENT
DIRECTORS.] All of the initial directors were recommended by the Sponsor.
Proposed transactions are often discussed before being brought to a final Board
of Director's vote. During these discussions, Independent Directors often offer
ideas for ways in which deals can be changed to make them acceptable and these
suggestions are taken into consideration on structuring transactions. No
Independent Director of any prior CPA(R) program has ever voted against a
property acquisition recommendation on a final vote. Each director will hold
office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until his successor has
been duly elected and qualified. Although the number of directors may be
increased or decreased as discussed above, a decrease shall not have the effect
of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

      Any director may resign at any time and may be removed with or without
cause by the Shareholders upon the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting called for the purpose of such
proposed removal. The notice of such meeting shall indicate that the purpose, or
one of the purposes, of such meeting is to determine if the director shall be
removed.

      Unless filled by a vote of the stockholders as permitted by Maryland law,
a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors or the death,
resignation, removal, adjudicated incompetence or other incapacity of a director
shall be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining directors and, (a) in
the case of a director who is not an Independent Director (an "Affiliated
Director"), by a vote of a majority of the remaining Affiliated Directors, or
(b) in the case of an Independent Director, by a vote of a majority of the
remaining Independent Directors (unless, in the case of clause (a) or (b), there
are no remaining Affiliated Directors or Independent Directors, as the case may
be, to so fill a vacancy, in which case a majority vote of the remaining
directors shall be sufficient). If at any time there shall be no Independent or
Affiliated Directors in office, successor directors shall be elected by the
Shareholders. Each director will be bound by the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws.

      The directors are not required to devote all of their time to the Company
and are only required to devote such of their time to the affairs of the Company
as their duties require. The directors will meet quarterly or more frequently if
necessary. It is not expected that the directors will be required to devote a
substantial portion of their time to discharge their duties as directors.
Consequently, in the exercise of their fiduciary responsibilities, the directors
will be relying heavily on the Advisor. The Board is empowered to fix the
compensation of all officers that it selects and may pay remuneration to
directors for services rendered to the Company in any other capacity. Initially,
the Company intends to pay to each Independent Director a quarterly fee of
$2,750 and a meeting fee of $1,000 per meeting. It is estimated that the
aggregate compensation payable to the Independent Directors as a
<PAGE>   42
group for the first full fiscal year of the Company will be approximately
[$45,000]. The Company will not pay any compensation to the officers or
directors of the Company who also serve as officers or directors of the Advisor.

      The general investment and borrowing policies of the Company are set forth
in this Prospectus. The directors shall establish further written policies on
investments and borrowings and shall monitor the administrative procedures,
investment operations and performance of the Company and the Advisor to assure
that such policies are in the best interest of the Shareholders and are
fulfilled. Until modified by the directors, the Company shall follow the
policies on investments and borrowings set forth in this Prospectus.

      The Board is also responsible for reviewing the fees and expenses of the
Company on at least an annual basis and with sufficient frequency to determine
that the expenses incurred are in the best interests of the Shareholders. In
addition, a majority of the Independent Directors and a majority of directors
not otherwise interested in the transaction must approve all transactions with
the Advisor or its Affiliates. The Independent Directors also will be
responsible for reviewing the performance of the Advisor and determining that
compensation to be paid to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature
and quality of services to be performed and that the provisions of the Advisory
Agreement are being carried out. Specifically, the Independent Directors will
consider factors such as the amount of the fee paid to the Advisor in relation
to the size, composition and performance of the Company's investments, the
success of the Advisor in generating appropriate investment opportunities, rates
charged to other REITs and other investors by advisers performing similar
services, additional revenues realized by the Advisor and its Affiliates through
their relationship with the Company, whether paid by the Company or by others
with whom the Company does business, the quality and extent of service and
advice furnished by the Advisor, the performance of the investment portfolio of
the Company and the quality of the portfolio of the Company relative to the
investments generated by the Advisor for its own account.

      Neither the directors nor their Affiliates will vote or consent to the
voting of Shares they now own or hereafter acquire on matters submitted to the
shareholders regarding either (i) the removal of the Advisor, any director or
any Affiliate; or (ii) any transaction between the Company and the Advisor, any
director or any Affiliate.

SHAREHOLDINGS

      The Advisor currently owns 20,000 Shares, which constituted 100% of the
outstanding Shares. The Advisor may not sell any of these Shares during the
period it serves as the advisor to the Company. Furthermore, any resale of the
20,000 Shares that the Advisor currently owns and the resale of any Shares which
may be acquired by Affiliates of the Company are subject to the provisions of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), which rule limits the number of shares that may be sold at
any one time and the manner of such resale. Although the Advisor is not
prohibited from acquiring additional Shares, the Advisor has no options or
warrants to acquire any additional Shares and has no current plans to acquire
additional Shares. There is no limitation on the ability of the Advisor or its
Affiliates to resell any Shares they may acquire in the future. If the minimum
number of Shares is sold the Advisor will own approximately 1.3% of the Shares
and if 30,000,000 Shares are sold, the Advisor will own less than 0.07% of the
Shares. The Advisor has agreed to abstain from voting any Shares it now owns or
hereafter acquires in any vote for the election of directors or any vote
regarding the approval or termination of any contract with the Advisor or any of
its Affiliates.

MANAGEMENT DECISIONS

   
      All of the activities of the Advisor will be managed by CFA. The primary
responsibility for the selection of Company investments and the negotiation for
such investments will reside in William P. Carey, George E. Stoddard, Barclay G.
Jones III and Gordon F. DuGan, all of whom are officers or directors of CFA.
Each potential Company investment will be submitted for review to the Investment
Committee. George E. Stoddard, Chairman, Frank J. Hoenemeyer and Lawrence R.
Klein currently serve as members of the Investment Committee. The board of
directors of CFA (the "CFA Board") has empowered the Investment Committee to
authorize and approve Company investments on behalf of CFA between meetings of
the CFA Board, provided that the members of the committee agree unanimously on
the action to be taken. However, the CFA Board retains ultimate authority to
authorize and approve Company investments on behalf of the Advisor and may make
such investments on behalf of the Company without the approval of, and
irrespective of any adverse recommendation by, the Investment Committee or any
other Person, except the Board of the Company.
    

LIMITED LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND
OTHER AGENTS

   
      The Company maintains a Directors and Officers liability insurance policy.
The Organizational Documents limit the personal liability of the Company's
directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted
under current Maryland law and provide that a director or officer may be
indemnified to the fullest extent required or permitted by Maryland law.
Maryland law allows directors and officers to be indemnified against judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements, and expenses actually incurred in a proceeding
unless the following can be established: (a) the act or omission of the director
or officer was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding,
and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty; (b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services; or (c) with respect to any criminal
proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his act or
omission was unlawful. Such indemnification or any agreement to hold harmless is
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and not from the Shareholders.
Indemnification could reduce the legal remedies available to the Company and the
Shareholders against such indemnified individuals.
    

      This provision does not reduce the exposure of directors and officers to
liability under Federal or state securities laws, nor does it limit the
Shareholder's ability to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies
for a violation of a director's or an officer's duties to the Company or its
Shareholders, although such equitable remedies may not be an effective remedy in
certain circumstances.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors, the Advisor and their
Affiliates will be indemnified by the Company for losses arising from the
operation of the
<PAGE>   49
Company only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the directors, the
Advisor or their Affiliates have determined, in good faith, that the course of
conduct which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the
Company; (b) the directors, the Advisor or their Affiliates were acting on
behalf of or performing services for the Company; (c) such liability or loss was
not the result of negligence or misconduct by the directors, the Advisor or
their Affiliates; and (d) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is
recoverable only out of the Company's net assets and not from its stockholders.
The Sponsor has separately agreed to indemnify the Independent Directors against
all liabilities and expenses and to advance expenses arising out of each
Independent Director's activities on behalf of the Company to the extent such
activities satisfy the Maryland law standards for indemnification.

      In addition to any indemnification to which directors and officers shall
be entitled pursuant to the General Corporation Law of Maryland, the
Organizational Documents provide that the Company shall indemnify other
employees and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Directors,
whether they are serving the Company or, at the Company's request, any other
entity. The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and
its Affiliates performing services for the Company from certain claims and
liabilities arising out of the performance of its obligations under the Advisory
Agreement. As a result, the Company and its Shareholders may be entitled to a
more limited right of action than they would otherwise have if these
indemnification rights were not included in the Advisory Agreement.

      The Commission takes the position that indemnification against liabilities
arising under the Securities Act is against public policy and unenforceable.
Indemnification of the directors, officers, the Advisor or their Affiliates will
not be allowed for certain liabilities arising from or out of a violation of
state or Federal securities laws. Indemnification will be allowed for
settlements and related expenses of lawsuits alleging securities laws
violations, and for expenses incurred in successfully defending such lawsuits,
provided that a court either (a) approves the settlement and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, or (b) there
has been a dismissal with prejudice or a successful adjudication on the merits
of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular
indemnitee and a court approves such indemnification.

THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT

      Many of the services to be performed by the Advisor and its Affiliates in
managing the day-to-day activities of the Company are summarized below. This
summary is provided to illustrate the various functions which the Advisor and
its Affiliates will perform for the Company and it is not intended to include
all of the services which may be provided by third parties to the Company.


   
      Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor undertakes to use
its best efforts to present to the Company investment opportunities consistent
with the investment policies and objectives of the Company as adopted by the
Board. In its performance of this undertaking, the Advisor, either directly or
indirectly by engaging an Affiliate, shall (at all times subject to the
continuing and exclusive authority of the Board over the management of the
Company and to compliance with the Organizational Documents):
    

   
            (i) find, present and recommend to the Company a continuing series
      of real estate investment opportunities consistent with the Company's
      investment policies and objectives;
    

   
            (ii) provide advice to, and act on behalf of, the Company with
      respect to the acquisition, financing, refinancing, holding, leasing and
      disposition of real estate investments;
    

   
            (iii) make investments on behalf of the Company in compliance with
      the investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies of the Company;
    

   
            (iv) take such action and obtain such services as may be necessary
      to effectuate the acquisition, financing, refinancing, holding, leasing
      and disposition of real estate investments; and
    

   
            (v) provide day-to-day management of business activities of the
      Company and such other administrative services for the Company as may be
      requested by the Board.
    

   
      The Board has authorized the Advisor to make investments in any Property
on behalf of the Company without the approval of the Board if the following
conditions are satisfied:
    

   
            (a) the Advisor must obtain an appraisal for the Property indicating
      that the Total Property Cost of the Property does not exceed the appraised
      value of the Property; and
    

   
            (b) the Advisor must provide the Company with a representation that
      the Property, in conjunction with the Company's other investments and
      proposed investments, is reasonably expected to fulfill the Company's
      investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies as established by the Board
      and then in effect.
    

      The term of the Advisory Agreement ends on [DECEMBER 31, 1999] and
thereafter will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless
either party shall give the other party notice of non-renewal not less than 60
days before the end of any such period. Additionally, the Advisory Agreement may
be terminated (a) immediately by the Company for "Cause" or upon the bankruptcy
of the Advisor or a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor,
(b) without Cause by a majority of the Independent Directors or Shareholders
upon 60 days' notice, or (c) immediately with Good Reason by the Advisor. "Good
Reason" is defined in the Advisory Agreement to mean either (i) any failure to
obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and
agree to perform the Company's obligations under the Advisory Agreement, or (ii)
any material breach of the Advisory Agreement of any nature whatsoever by the
Company. "Cause" is defined in the Advisory Agreement to mean fraud, criminal
conduct, willful misconduct or willful or negligent breach of fiduciary duty by
the Advisor or a breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor.

      The Advisor and its Affiliates expect to engage in other business ventures
and, as such, their resources will not be dedicated exclusively to the business
of the Company. However, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor must
devote sufficient resources to the administration of the Company to discharge
its obligations. The Advisory Agreement is not assignable or transferable by
either party without the consent of the other party, except that the Advisor may
assign the
<PAGE>   50
Advisory Agreement to an Affiliate that has a net worth of $5,000,000 or more or
for whom the Sponsor agrees to guarantee its obligations to the Company and
either the Advisor or the Company may assign or transfer the Agreement to a
successor entity.

   
    

      The Advisor may not make any Loans on behalf of the Company without the
prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors. The actual terms and
conditions of transactions involving investments in Properties shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Advisor, subject at all times to
compliance with the foregoing requirements. The Advisor shall notify the Board
of all proposed transactions before such transactions are completed.

      Certain types of transactions require the prior approval of the Board,
including a majority of the Independent Directors, including the following: (i)
investments in Properties in respect of which the requirements specified above
have not been satisfied, (ii) investments made through joint venture
arrangements with Affiliates of the Advisor, (iii) investments which are not
contemplated by the terms of this Prospectus, (iv) transactions that present
issues which involve conflicts of interest for the Advisor (other than conflicts
involving the payment of fees or the reimbursement of expenses), (v) investments
in equity securities (other than warrants acquired in connection with net lease
transactions) and (vi) the lease of assets to the Sponsor, any director or the
Advisor.

      The Company will reimburse the Advisor for all of the costs it incurs in
connection with the services it provides to the Company, including, but not
limited to: (i) Organization and Offering Expenses, which are defined to include
expenses
<PAGE>   51

connection with the purchase and sale of securities, (iii) administrative
services (including personnel costs, provided, however that no reimbursement
shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel are used
in transactions for which the Advisor receives a separate fee), (iv) rent,
depreciation, leasehold improvement costs, utilities or other administrative
items generally constituting the Advisor's overhead, and (v) Acquisition
Expenses, which are defined to include expenses related to the selection and
acquisition of Properties.

      The Advisor shall reimburse the Company at least annually for the amount
by which Operating Expenses of the Company exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines (2% of
Average Invested Assets or 25% of Net Income). To the extent that Operating
Expenses payable or reimbursable by the Company exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines and
the Independent Directors determine that such excess expenses were justified
based on unusual and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, the
Advisor may be reimbursed in future years for the full amount of such excess
expenses, or any portion thereof, but only to the extent such reimbursement
would not cause the Company's Operating Expenses to exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines
in any such year. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the
Company for which total Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceed
the 2%/25% Guidelines, there shall be sent to the Shareholders a written
disclosure of such fact, together with an explanation of the factors the
Independent Directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that such excess
expenses were justified.

      The Advisor or its Affiliates will be paid certain fees in connection with
services provided to the Company. See "Management Compensation." In the event
the Advisory Agreement is not renewed by the Company or is terminated without
Cause by the Company or with Good Reason by the Advisor, the Advisor will be
paid all accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements, any unaccrued
Subordinated Acquisition Fees and in certain circumstances will also be paid a
Termination Fee. See "Management Compensation." The Company will not reimburse
the Advisor or its Affiliates for services for which the Advisor or its
Affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee.


                   INVESTMENT PROCEDURES, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

INVESTMENT PROCEDURES

      The business of the Company is to invest primarily in single-tenant
commercial, industrial and governmental real property (or interests therein),
either existing or under construction or development, and personal and mixed
property connected therewith. Generally, properties will be net leased to
entities deemed creditworthy by the Advisor, including governmental units, under
leases which will be full recourse obligations of such tenants or their
Affiliates.

TRANSACTION ORIGINATION

      In analyzing potential acquisitions, the Advisor 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 Advisor include the following:

      -     Tenant Evaluation. The Advisor subjects each potential tenant to an
            extensive evaluation of its credit, management, position within its
            industry, operating history and profitability. The Advisor seeks
            tenants it believes will have stable or improving credit. The
            Advisor specializes in identifying companies whose credit will
            improve over time. By leasing properties to such tenants, the
            Company can generally charge
<PAGE>   52
            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 tenant will likely increase (if all other
            factors affecting value remain unchanged). The Advisor 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 Rent. The Advisor seeks to include clauses in
            its 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. The
            Advisor seeks to avoid entering into leases that provide for
            contractual reductions in rents during their primary term.

      -     Properties Important to Tenant Operations. The Advisor generally
            seeks to acquire properties with operations that are essential or
            important to the ongoing operations of the tenant. The Advisor
            believes that such properties provide better protection in the event
            a tenant files for bankruptcy, since 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
            Advisor 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-let the
            property to another entity in the industry which can operate the
            property profitably.

      -     Lease Provisions that Enhance and Protect Value. When appropriate,
            the Advisor attempts to include provisions in its leases that
            require its 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
            protects the Company's 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.

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

      The Advisor employs a variety of other strategies in connection with its
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 whom the property is leased.
Negotiating equity enhancements helps the Company to achieve its goal of
increasing funds available for the payment of Dividends. Other strategies
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.
Occasionally, the Company grants to the tenant a right to purchase the Property
leased by the tenant, in which cases, the option purchase price is generally the
greater of the Contract Purchase Price and the fair market value of the
Property.
<PAGE>   53
      ACQUISITION AND UNDERWRITING PROCESS

      The Advisor's Acquisition and Asset Management Department, headed by
Barclay G. Jones, 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 that the Company may use to acquire a
property.

      As a transaction is structured, it is evaluated by George E. Stoddard,
Chairman of the Advisor's 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 Advisor's 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.

      An acquisition must be approved by the Investment Committee before it can
be completed by the Company. The Company believes that the Investment Committee
review process gives it a unique competitive advantage over other 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 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 Advisor 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 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.
    

      Each Property purchased by the Company will be appraised by an Independent
Appraiser and the Company will not purchase any Property that has a Total
Property Cost (the purchase price of the Property plus all Acquisition Fees)
which is in excess of its appraised value. Such appraisals may take into
consideration, among other things, the terms and conditions of the particular
lease transaction, the quality of the lessee's credit and the conditions of the
credit markets at the time
<PAGE>   54
the lease transaction is negotiated. The appraised value may be greater than the
construction cost or the replacement cost of a Property, and the actual sale
price of a Property if sold by the Company may be greater or less than the
appraised value.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

      The Company's objectives are:

      -     TO PAY QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS AT AN INCREASING RATE THAT FOR TAXABLE
            SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE PARTIALLY FREE FROM CURRENT TAXATION. The
            Company's dividend rate is calculated by dividing the Company's
            quarterly cash dividend from operations by the amount raised in the
            Offering less amounts returned to investors from the sale of
            Properties and Cash from Financings. Although the cash amount of a
            dividend may go down during the life of the Company, the dividend
            rate may continue to increase. If the total amount received by the
            Company from the sale of its Properties is less than the total
            amount invested in the Company, a portion of the Dividends paid by
            the Company will represent a return of the money originally invested
            in the Company and not a return on the investment. There can be no
            assurance that the Company will pay regular dividends or that the
            dividend rate will increase. The quarterly rate of increases of
            prior CPA(R) Programs has generally ranged from [.01% TO .25%] with
            an average quarterly increase of [.02%]. While prior CPA(R) Programs
            have occasionally used working capital to pay a portion of certain
            dividends, cash flows from operating activities have generally
            exceeded dividends paid. See "Dividends."

      -     TO PURCHASE A PORTFOLIO OF REAL ESTATE THAT WILL INCREASE IN VALUE.
            An individual investing directly in real estate would not have to
            pay the organization and offering expenses expected to be paid by
            the Company (approximately [10% TO 10.50%] of the Gross Offering
            Proceeds). Therefore, the Company must realize a greater level of
            operating income from, and/or appreciation in the value of, its real
            estate in order for an investor to realize the same return he would
            realize if he invested directly in, and operated, the real estate
            purchased by the Company. [OF THE 68 PROPERTIES SOLD BY THE CPA(R)
            PROGRAMS, ALL BUT 22 OF SUCH PROPERTIES WERE SOLD FOR CONSIDERATION
            EQUAL TO OR IN EXCESS OF THE APPLICABLE CPA(R) PROGRAM'S TOTAL
            INVESTMENT IN SUCH PROPERTIES, INCLUDING ACQUISITION COSTS. THE NET
            GAIN REALIZED FROM THE SALE OF THESE 68 PROPERTIES BY THE CPA(R)
            PROGRAMS HAS BEEN IN EXCESS OF $7,318,000 ON TOTAL EQUITY INVESTED
            OF APPROXIMATELY $80,267,000.] This net gain figure does not take
            into account organization and offering expenses which averaged [12%]
            of the Gross Offering Proceeds for prior CPA(R) Programs. Please see
            the "Prior Performance by Affiliates" and the Appendix A for a
            complete discussion of the prior performance of the CPA(R) Programs.

      -     TO INCREASE THE COMPANY'S EQUITY IN ITS REAL ESTATE BY MAKING
            REGULAR MORTGAGE PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. The Company will realize its
            objective of increasing its equity in its Properties by making
            regular mortgage principal payments from income generated from the
            Properties only if Properties are sold by the Company for an amount
            equal to or greater than the original equity investment plus the
            remaining mortgage balance. The average annual mortgage amortization
            for the CPA(R) Programs is [$16,547,000].

      There can be no assurance that all or any of these objectives will be
achieved or that all of these objectives will be achieved with respect to each
Property. See "Prior Offerings by Affiliates" for a description of the CPA(R)
Programs' experience in making investments similar to the investment objectives
of the Company. See "Risk Factors" for a description of risks associated with
the Company's investments. The Company also may make Loans on income-producing
Properties, which Loans may have some form of equity participation.

      The primary investment objectives of the CPA(R) Programs are similar to
those of the Company. The CPA(R) Programs have not been fully liquidated so it
is not possible
<PAGE>   55
to fully determine whether or not the CPA(R) Programs have satisfied the
objective of purchasing real estate that will increase in value.

      All but four of the CPA(R) Programs have paid quarterly dividends at an
increasing rate since their inception. The increases have been between .01% and
4% on an annual basis in any quarter in which there has been an increase, with
the majority of increases ranging between .01% and .05%. Only CPA(R):1,
CPA(R):5, CPA(R):7 and CPA(R):10 have had to reduce their distribution rates as
a result of certain adverse developments described in "Prior Offerings by
Affiliates," and the resulting reduction of cash flow. The distribution rate of
CPA(R):7 now exceeds the rate in effect before the reduction.

      Each of the CPA(R) Programs have been able to make regular
mortgage principal payments. The amount of debt repaid by the fully invested
CPA(R) Programs from funds generated by operations range from approximately
$365,000 to $4,360,000 per year. The CPA(R) Programs that have owned property
for a longer period have generally repaid a greater percentage of their debt.
More detailed information with respect to the performance of the CPA(R) Programs
is separately presented in tabular form in Exhibit A to this Prospectus.

      In making Property investments, the Advisor will consider such relevant
real estate and financial factors as:

      -     creditworthiness of a tenant,

      -     safety of principal,

      -     income and cash flow expected to be generated by a particular
            Property,

      -     terms of proposed leases, including any provision for periodic rent
            increases,

      -     importance of the Property to a tenant,

      -     profitability of activities conducted at the Property,

      -     prospects for possible long-term appreciation,

      -     condition and use of the Property,

      -     location of the Property,

      -     current appraised value of the Property,

      -     prospects for long-range liquidity,

      -     geographic and industry diversification, and

      -     relation of the Property to the Company's portfolio.

   
In evaluating a possible investment by the Company, the creditworthiness of a
tenant generally will be a more significant factor than the value of the
Property absent the lease with such tenant. While the Advisor will select
tenants it believes are creditworthy, tenants will not be required to meet any
minimum rating established by an independent credit rating agency. The
Advisor's and the Investment Committee's standards for determining whether a
particular tenant is creditworthy vary in accordance with a variety of factors
relating to specific prospective tenants. The creditworthiness of a tenant is
determined on a tenant by tenant, case by case basis.  Therefore, general 
standards for creditworthiness cannot be applied.
    

TYPES OF INVESTMENTS

      The Company may make investments in several types of properties or other
real estate related investments. The Advisor will be responsible for the
selection of Properties for the Company, subject in some cases to the approval
of the Board. See "Management." While investments may be made in various types
of Property, the Advisor intends to make substantially all the Company's
investments in income-producing
<PAGE>   56
Property which is, upon acquisition, improved or being developed or which is
being or will be developed within a reasonable period after its acquisition.
Investments will not be restricted as to geographical areas, but it is expected
that most of the investments will be made within the United States. See "Risk
Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks--Risks of Investment in Real Property
Located Outside the United States." With the exception of proposed investments
described in a supplement to this Prospectus, prospective investors will not be
able to evaluate the merits of the Company's investments or the terms of any
dispositions. See "Risk Factors--Corporate Investment Risks -- Reliance on
Management."

  Investments in Properties

     The Company will invest primarily in Properties that are leased to one
tenant deemed creditworthy by the Advisor. In most cases, each lease will
require the tenant to pay all of the costs of maintenance, insurance and real
estate taxes.

      It is anticipated that many of the Properties purchased by the Company
will be acquired from entities that simultaneously will lease the Properties
from the Company. Such sale-leaseback transactions provide the lessee company
with a source of capital as an alternative to other financing sources such as
borrowing, mortgaging real property, issuing bonds or selling shares of common
stock. The prospects for the seller/lessee's enterprise and the financial
strength of the seller/lessee will be important aspects of the sale and
leaseback of a Property, particularly a Property specifically suited to the
needs of the lessee. The Advisor will examine the financial statements of the
lessee, if available, to evaluate the financial capability of the lessee and its
ability to perform the terms of the purchase and leaseback agreement and, where
appropriate, will examine the available operating results of Properties to
determine whether or not projected rental levels are likely to be met. Whether a
prospective tenant of the Company is creditworthy will be determined by the
Advisor or the Board. Creditworthy does not necessarily mean "investment grade."

      It is also anticipated that some of the Company's sale-leasebacks will be
in conjunction with acquisitions, recapitalizations and other financial
restructurings. In some of these transactions, the acquiring entities typically
purchase all or substantially all of the stock or assets of a company, and the
acquired company or its successor in interest becomes obligated on the
substantial loans necessary to finance the acquisition. The Company may act as
one of several sources of financing for such transactions by purchasing real
property from the seller of the subject company and net leasing it to such
company or its successor in interest (the lessee). See "Risk Factors--Real
Estate Investment Risks--Risk of Purchasing Property in Connection with
Acquisitions, Recapitalizations and Other Financial Restructurings."

      No more than 20% of the net proceeds derived from the Offering will be
applied to the purchase of land where the Company's purchase is exclusive of the
buildings and improvements thereon or to be constructed thereon. In the event
the Company purchases Property exclusive of the buildings and improvements
thereon (where such buildings and improvements are owned by unaffiliated
parties) and such land is securing a mortgage loan to the building owner, the
Company may have to make mortgage payments in order to prevent a default under
such mortgage and the foreclosure of the fee interest.

      The Company intends to exercise due diligence to discover potential
environmental liabilities prior to the acquisition of any Property, although
there can be no assurance that hazardous substances or wastes (as defined by
present or future Federal or state laws or regulations) will not be discovered
on the Property. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks -- Potential
Environmental Liabilities." The Company will also consider factors peculiar to
the laws of foreign countries, in addition to the risk normally associated with
real property investments, when considering an investment located outside the
United States. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks -- Risk of
Investment in Real Property located Outside the United States."

      In selecting Properties in which to make investments, the Advisor will
consider the extent to which a particular Property may generate depreciation.
Depreciation deductions may reduce income generated by the Company which may
enable the Company to
<PAGE>   57
pay Dividends which are partially free from current taxation. The Company will
depreciate its real properties for tax purposes on a straight line basis over a
40-year period, except where the Code requires a different depreciation period,
as it may with respect to Property leased to governments and to foreign lessees.
See "Income Tax Aspects."

      The Advisor may structure certain lease transactions so that such leases
will not be recognized as leases for Federal income tax purposes. To the extent
a lease is not considered a lease for Federal income tax purposes, the Company
would not be able to depreciate the Property subject to such a lease and may
lose certain other tax benefits. See "Income Tax Aspects--Sale-Leaseback
Transactions." In structuring such lease transactions, the Advisor will attempt
to obtain additional consideration from the tenant to compensate the Company for
any lost tax benefits; however, there can be no assurance that any such
additional consideration will be received, or, if received, that it will be
sufficient to fully compensate the Company for lost tax benefits.

  Investments in Loans

      The Advisor may structure a Company investment as a Loan in situations in
which a standard net lease transaction would have an adverse impact on the
seller of a Property or otherwise would be inappropriate for the Company. The
Advisor would attempt to structure any such Loan in a manner that would provide
the Company with an economic return similar to that which the Company could
expect to receive had the investment been structured as a net lease transaction.
Any transaction structured as a Loan must otherwise meet the Company's
investment criteria. The directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors) must approve any transaction structured as a Loan.


   
      Some of the Loans made, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company,
in addition to providing for base interest at a fixed or variable rate, may be
combined with provisions permitting the Company to participate in the economic
benefits of any increase in the gross revenues of the Underlying Real Property
(the property securing repayment of the Loan), usually above a base amount
which may be subject to adjustment upon an increase in real estate taxes,
increase in lease revenue or other events including, but not limited to
increases in lease revenue and/or any increase in the value of the Underlying
Real Property as though the Company were an equity owner of a portion of the
Property. In addition, it is possible that the participations may take other
forms where available or deemed appropriate. See "Income Tax Aspects --
Requirements for Qualification as a REIT." The forms and extent of the
participations to be received by the Company will vary with each transaction
depending on such factors as the equity investment, if any, of the borrower,
credit support provided by the borrower, the interest rate on the Company's
Loans and the anticipated and actual cash flow from the Underlying Real
Property. The Company's Loans may include first mortgage Loans, leasehold
mortgage Loans and conventional mortgage Loans without equity enhancements.
Loans are not expected to comprise a significant portion of the Company's
portfolio. The amount of interest which may be charged by the Company on its
Loans may be limited by state usury laws. The Company will, however, prior to
investing in a Loan, obtain an opinion of counsel that its participation in a
Loan will not result in such Loan's being made at a usurious interest rate.
    

      The Loans will be secured by various types of real property as well as
personal or mixed property connected therewith. The Loans generally will be
secured by property with a demonstrable income-producing potential. In
determining whether to make Loans, the Advisor will analyze relevant property
and financial factors which in some cases may include such factors as the
condition and use of the subject property, its income-producing capacity and the
quality, experience and creditworthiness of the owner of the property.

      The Company anticipates that its Loans will either (i) include provisions
permitting the Company to cause the entire unpaid principal amount to become due
within 15 years or (ii) be fully amortized within such period. The Company's
mortgage activity may consist of the origination of Loans or the purchase of
existing Loans. The Company may make both long-term and short-term Loans. The
Company will not make or invest in Loans that are subordinate to any mortgage
held by the Sponsor, the Advisor, the directors or their Affiliates.

<PAGE>   58
   
      The Company will require that a mortgagee's title insurance policy or
commitment as to the lien priority of a mortgage or the condition of title be
obtained. The Company will receive independent appraisals for Underlying Real
Property, which shall be maintained in the Company's records for at least five
years and shall be available for inspection and duplication by any Shareholder
at the Company's offices, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10020. However,
the Advisor generally will rely on its own independent analysis and not
exclusively on such appraisals in determining whether to make a particular
Loan. It should be noted that appraisals are estimates of value and should not
be relied upon as measures of true worth or realizable value. The Company will
not make Loans where the amount advanced by the Company plus the amount of any
existing Loans that are equal or senior to the Company's Loan exceeds 100% of
the appraised value of the Underlying Real Property. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Sale-Leaseback Transactions." In making Loans that exceed 85% of the
appraised value of any Underlying Real Property, the Advisor will consider such
additional underwriting criteria as the net worth of the borrower, the
borrower's credit rating, if any, the anticipated cash flow of the borrower,
any additional collateral provided by the borrower and other factors the
Advisor deems appropriate. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks --
Risk Related to Making Loans."
    
      
  Joint Ventures and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

      The Company may enter into joint ventures or general partnerships and
other participations with real estate developers, owners and others (but not
involving the Advisor or its Affiliates except as discussed below) for the
purpose of obtaining an equity interest in a particular Property or Properties
in accordance with the Company's investment policies. Such investments permit
the Company to own interests in large Properties without unduly restricting
diversification and, therefore, add flexibility in structuring the Company's
portfolio. The Company will not enter into a joint venture to make an investment
that it would not be permitted to make on its own. In making such equity
investments with third parties, the Company is prohibited from participating
with non-affiliates unless it acquires a controlling interest in such
investment. A "controlling interest" is defined in the Bylaws to mean an equity
interest possessing the power to direct or cause the direction of the management
and policies of the joint venture or general partnership. The Bylaws provide
that in transactions in which both non-affiliated entities and Affiliates of the
Company are participants, a controlling interest is determined by aggregating
the equity interests of the Company and any Affiliate participating in the
transaction, provided the Affiliate has investment objectives substantially
similar to those of the Company. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment Risks
- -- Risks of Joint Ventures."

      The Company may from time to time participate jointly with publicly
registered investment programs or other entities sponsored or managed by the
Advisor or one of its Affiliates in investments as tenants-in-common or in some
other joint venture arrangement. Joint ventures with such affiliated programs
will be permitted only if (i) a majority of the directors (including a majority
of the Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transaction
approve the transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company, (ii) the
affiliated program or entity makes its investment on substantially the same
terms and conditions as the Company, and (iii) the Company and the affiliated
program or entity each have a right of first refusal to purchase the investment
if the other program wishes to sell the investment. It is not likely that the
Company will have money available to exercise this right of first refusal and
the Company has made no determination as to whether it would borrow funds or
liquidate assets in order to exercise any option. The Company will not otherwise
participate in joint investments with the Advisor or its Affiliates. The cost of
structuring joint investments will be shared ratably by the participating
investors and the Company.

      The Company may form additional wholly-owned subsidiary corporations to
purchase Properties in some jurisdictions where the acquisition of Properties
through the use of such an entity would have a beneficial effect on the
Company's taxable income for state tax purposes or for other reasons deemed by
the Advisor to be beneficial to the Company. Such subsidiary corporations would
be formed for the sole purpose of acquiring a specific Property or Properties
located in one or more states and would have organizational documents (a) that
are substantially similar to the
<PAGE>   59
Organizational Documents of the Company, (b) that comply with all applicable
NASAA Guidelines, and (c) that comply with the applicable terms and conditions
set forth in this Prospectus. The Company may make loans to its wholly-owned
subsidiaries and guaranty the obligations of such subsidiaries.

  Other Investments

      The Company also may invest up to 10% of the net proceeds of the Offering
in unimproved or non-income-producing real property and in Equity Interests
(except that investment in Equity Interests in the aggregate shall not exceed 5%
of the net proceeds of the Offering). "Equity Interests" are defined generally
to mean stock, warrants or other rights to purchase the stock of, or other
interests in, a tenant of a Property, an entity to which the Company makes a
Loan, or a parent or controlling Person of a borrower or tenant. The Company
will invest in unimproved or non-income-producing Property which the Advisor
believes will appreciate in value or the acquisition of which will increase the
value of an adjoining or neighboring properties of the Company. There can be no
assurance, however, that such expectations will be realized. The Company
anticipates that most Equity Interests will be "restricted securities" as
defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Under this rule, the
Company may be prohibited from reselling restricted securities without
limitation until it has fully paid for and held the securities for three years.
The issuer of Equity Interests in which the Company invests may never register
such interests under the Securities Act. Whether an issuer registers its
securities under such Act may depend on the success of its operations.

      The Company will exercise warrants or other rights to purchase stock only
if the value of the stock at the time such rights are exercised exceeds the
exercise price. Payment of the exercise price shall not be deemed an investment
subject to the above described limitations. The Company may borrow funds to pay
the exercise price on warrants or other rights or may pay such exercise price
from funds held for working capital and then repay the loan or replenish the
working capital upon the sale of the securities or interests purchased. The
Company may not pay Dividends out of the proceeds of the sale of such interests
until any funds borrowed to purchase such interest have been fully repaid. The
Advisor will invest in Equity Interests which the Advisor believes will
appreciate in value. There can be no assurance, however, that such expectation
will be realized.

      The Company will not invest in real estate contracts of sale unless such
contracts of sale are in recordable form and are appropriately recorded in the
applicable chain of title, provided, however, that in no event shall investments
in such contracts exceed 1% of total assets.

      There can be no assurance as to when the Company's capital may be fully
invested in Properties. See "Income Tax Aspects -- Requirements for
Qualification as a REIT." Pending such investment, the balance of the proceeds
of the Offering will be invested in Permitted Temporary Investments, which are
defined to mean short-term U.S. Government securities, bank certificates of
deposit and other short-term liquid investments. To maintain its REIT status,
the Company also may invest in securities that qualify as "real estate assets"
and produce qualifying income under the REIT Provisions of the Code. The Company
expects that such securities will consist primarily of shares issued by other
REITs and mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC. Any
investments in other REITs in which the Sponsor, Advisor or any director is an
Affiliate must be approved as being fair and reasonable by a majority of the
directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) who are not
otherwise interested in the transaction. If all the proceeds derived from the
Offering are not invested or committed to be invested by the Company prior to
the expiration of the later of twenty-four months after the date of this
Prospectus or one year after the termination of the Offering, then the proceeds
not so invested or committed will, promptly after the expiration of such period,
be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders as a return of capital, without any
deductions for Organizational and Offering Expenses or Acquisition Expenses. For
the purpose of the foregoing provision, funds will be deemed to have been
committed to investment within such period and will not be returned to
Shareholders to the extent written agreements in principle have been executed at
any time prior to the expiration of such period, regardless of whether such
investments are consummated, and also to the extent any
<PAGE>   60
funds have been reserved to make contingent payments in connection with any
Property, regardless of whether any such payments are made.

      If at any time the character of the Company's investments would cause the
Company to be deemed an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, the Company shall take such action as is necessary in order
to ensure that the Company is not deemed to be such an "investment company." The
Advisor will continually review the Company's investment activity to attempt to
ensure that the Company does not come within the application of the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Among other things, they will attempt to monitor the
proportion of the Company's portfolio which is placed in various investments so
that the Company does not come within the definition of an investment company
under such Act. The Company has been advised by counsel that if it is operated
in accordance with the description of its proposed business in this Prospectus,
it will not be deemed an "investment company" for purposes of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

      The Company's working capital and other reserves will be invested in
Permitted Temporary Investments. The Advisor will evaluate such factors as the
relative risks and rate of return, the Company's cash needs and other
appropriate considerations when making short-term investments on behalf of the
Company. The rate of return of Permitted Temporary Investments may be less than
or greater than would be obtainable from real estate investments.

      The Company may purchase Property from the Sponsor, the Advisor, the
directors or their Affiliates only if (i) a majority of the Independent
Directors and a majority of the directors who otherwise are not interested in
the transaction approve such transaction as being fair and reasonable to the
Company, (ii) the Property was acquired by such Sponsor, Advisor, director or
Affiliate for the purpose of facilitating its purchase by the Company,
facilitating the borrowing of money or the obtaining of financing for the
Company or any other purpose related to the business of the Company, (iii) the
Property is purchased by the Company for a price no greater than the cost to
such Affiliate (provided, however, that such price may be greater than the cost
to such Affiliate, but in no event more than the appraised value, if such
Affiliate has taken significant action or has made an additional investment with
regard to the Property after its purchase which action or investment has
increased the value of the Property), and (iv) there is no adverse difference in
the interest rates of the loans secured by the Property at the time acquired by
such Sponsor, Advisor, director or Affiliate and at the time purchased by the
Company nor any other detriment arising out of such transaction to the Company.
The Company will receive all profits or losses from any Property held on an
interim basis by the Sponsor, Advisor, director or Affiliate thereof (other than
an Affiliate that is a public program or entity).

      The Company will not sell Properties to the Sponsor, the Advisor, a
director or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing except pursuant to the
exercise of a right of first refusal by an affiliated joint venture partner.

USE OF BORROWING

      While one of the Company's investment objectives will be diversification,
the number of different Properties the Company can acquire will be affected by
the amount of funds available to it. Since the Company may have A [minimum of
$15,000,000 and a maximum of $300,000,000 in Gross Offering Proceeds, the full
extent of the Company's actual operations cannot be determined at this time. The
Company's goal, subject to the availability of mortgage financing, is to borrow
approximately 60% of the purchase price of all Properties but there is no limit
on borrowings on individual Properties.

      The ability of the Company to increase its diversification through
borrowing could be adversely impacted by the reduced availability of financing
secured by commercial real estate generally and specifically by single-tenant
net-leased real property, whether due to fewer financing sources, such as
commercial banks and insurance companies, or due to the reduced lending activity
by those sources continuing in that line of business. When interest rates on
mortgage loans are high or financing is otherwise unavailable on a timely basis,
the Company may purchase certain Properties for cash with the intention of
obtaining a mortgage loan for a
<PAGE>   61
portion of the purchase price at a later time if and when interest rates fall.
While the number of lenders making loans secured by commercial real estate has
decreased in recent years, the CPA(R) Programs have not encountered significant
difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing from institutional lenders such as
insurance companies to replace financing which previously might have been
obtained from commercial banks or savings and loans. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its borrowing objective.

      There is no limitation on the amount the Company may invest in any single
improved Property or on the amount the Company can borrow for the purchase of
any Property. Aggregate borrowings as of the time that the net proceeds of the
Offering have been fully invested and at the time of each subsequent borrowing
may not exceed 75% of the value of all Properties unless such excess is approved
by a majority of the Independent Directors and disclosed to Shareholders in the
next quarterly report of the Company, along with the reason for such excess. For
purposes of determining the maximum allowable amounts of indebtedness, "value"
means the lesser of (i) the total appraised value of the Properties as reflected
in the most recently obtained appraisal for each Property and (ii) the total
value of the assets of the Company as reflected in the most recently completed
Valuation.

      It is expected that, by operating on a leveraged basis, the Company will
have more funds available and, therefore, will make more investments than would
otherwise be possible, resulting in a more diversified portfolio. Although the
Company's liability for the repayment of indebtedness is expected to be limited
to the value of the Property securing such liability and the rents or profits
derived therefrom, leveraging increases risks to the Company because mortgage
principal and interest payments as well as other fixed charges must be paid in
order to prevent foreclosure on such Properties by mortgagees regardless of the
generation of income by Properties. See "Risk Factors--Real Estate Investment
Risks--Risks Associated with Borrowing." To the extent that the Company does not
obtain mortgage loans on its Properties, its ability to acquire additional
Properties will be restricted. The Advisor will use its best efforts to obtain
financing on the most favorable terms available to the Company. Lenders may have
recourse to other assets of the Company in certain limited circumstances not
related to the repayment of the indebtedness.

      Lenders may also seek to include in the terms of mortgage loans provisions
making the termination or replacement of the Advisor an event of default or an
event requiring the immediate repayment of the full outstanding balance of the
loan. The Company will not agree to the inclusion of such provisions and will
attempt to negotiate loan terms allowing the Company to replace or terminate the
Advisor if such action is ordered by the Board. Such replacement or termination
may, however, require the prior consent of the mortgage lenders.

      The Advisor will refinance Properties during the term of a loan only in
limited circumstances, such as when a decline in interest rates makes it
profitable to prepay an existing mortgage, when an existing mortgage matures or
if an attractive investment becomes available and the proceeds from the
refinancing can be used to purchase such investment. The benefits of such
refinancing may include an increased cash flow resulting from reduced debt
service requirements, an increase in distributions from proceeds of such
refinancing, if any, and/or an increase in property ownership if some
refinancing proceeds are reinvested in real estate.

OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES

General

      If at any time the Company does not have sufficient funds to provide that
portion of the Total Property Cost of any Property normally paid out of Offering
proceeds but would have sufficient funds if it could use the Offering proceeds
being held in escrow, funds may be borrowed from Affiliates of the Advisor or
from third parties on a short-term basis. Any such financing obtained from the
Advisor or its Affiliates may not have terms less advantageous to the Company
than those available from independent third parties and may not require a
prepayment charge or penalty. The interest rate charged on any such financing
obtained from the Advisor or its Affiliates will be equal to the lesser of 1%
above the prime rate of interest announced by The Bank of New York or the rate
that would be charged to the Company by
<PAGE>   62
unrelated lending institutions on comparable loans for the same purpose. See
"Conflicts of Interest--Purchases and Loans from Affiliates." The Company may
assign, as security for borrowings made from third parties, its right to receive
up to 85% of the Offering proceeds being held in escrow (excluding interest and
amounts held on behalf of qualified plans and IRAs). See "The Offering--Escrow
Arrangements."

      At any time, subject to the approval of a majority of the Independent
Directors, the Company may borrow funds from Affiliates of either the Advisor or
third parties on a short-term basis sufficient to provide the portion of the
Total Property Cost of any Property not paid with net Offering proceeds (i.e.,
the debt portion) if (i) the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan or, in
the judgment of the Company or the Advisor, it is not in the best interests of
the Company to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and
(ii) the Advisor has reason to believe that the Company will be able to obtain a
permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term. Such short-term loans
may be fully or partially amortized, may provide for the payment of interest
only during the term of the loan or may provide for the payment of principal and
interest only upon maturity. In addition, such loans may be secured by a first
or junior mortgage on the Property to be acquired or by a pledge of or security
interest in the Offering proceeds that are being held in escrow which are to be
received from the sale of Shares by the Company. Any short-term loan from
Affiliates of the Advisor will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 1%
above the prime rate of interest charged by The Bank of New York or the rate
that would be charged to the Company by unrelated lending institutions on
comparable loans for the same purpose in the locality of the Property. See
"Conflicts of Interest--Loans from Affiliates."

  Holding Period for Investments and Application of Proceeds of Sales or
Refinancings

      The Company intends to hold each Property it acquires (including
Properties and partnership interests held by wholly-owned subsidiaries and
Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Company has an interest) for an
extended period. However, certain circumstances might arise which could result
in the early sale of certain Properties. A Property may be sold before the end
of the expected holding period of such Property if (i) the lessee has
involuntarily liquidated, (ii) in the judgment of the Advisor, the value of a
Property might decline radically, (iii) an opportunity has arisen to improve
other Properties (e.g., to buy property adjacent to or abutting another Property
owned by the Company), (iv) the Company can increase cash flow through the
disposition of the Property, (v) the lessee is in default under the lease, or
(vi) in the judgment of the Company or the Advisor, the sale of the Property is
in the best interests of the Company. The Advisor may receive real estate
commissions on the sale of a Property.

      The determination of whether a particular Property should be sold or
otherwise disposed of will be made after consideration of relevant factors,
including prevailing economic conditions, with a view to achieving maximum
capital appreciation for the Company. No assurance can be given that the
foregoing objective will be realized. Also, the sales price of a Property which
is net leased will be determined in large part by the amount of rent payable
under such lease. However, to the extent that the seller of a Property to the
Company has a repurchase option at a formula price, the Company may be limited
in its realization of any appreciation by the option price. In connection with
sales of Properties by the Company, purchase money obligations (i.e., the
Company would "lend" the purchaser a portion of the purchase price by allowing
the purchaser to pay less than the full purchase price in cash) may be taken by
the Company as partial or full payment. In such instances, the Company's taxable
income may exceed the cash received in such sale. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Taxation of the Company" and "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for
Qualification as a REIT--Distribution Requirement." The terms of payment to be
accorded by the Company will be affected by custom in the area in which the
Property being sold is located and the then prevailing economic conditions. To
the extent that the Company receives purchase money mortgages rather than cash
in connection with sales of Properties, there may be a delay in making
distributions to Shareholders. A decision to provide financing to such
purchasers would be made after an investigation into and consideration of the
same factors regarding the purchaser, such as creditworthiness and likelihood of
future financial stability, as are undertaken when the Company considers a net
lease transaction. See "Income Tax Aspects--Taxation of the Company."
<PAGE>   63
      If the Company's Shares are not listed for trading on a national
securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq (which listing or
inclusion for quotation must be approved by the directors, a majority of the
Independent Directors and the CFA Board), the Properties generally will be
liquidated beginning five to ten years after the net proceeds of the Offering
are substantially invested. In making the decision to apply for listing of the
Shares, the Board will try to determine whether listing the Shares or
liquidating the Company will result in greater value for the Shareholders. It
cannot be determined at this time the circumstances, if any, under which the
Directors will agree to list the Shares. Such a listing is not likely to occur
during the first several years of the Company's existence. CPA(R):10, CIP(TM)
and CPA(R):12 have listing provisions similar to provisions for the listing of
the CPA(R):14 shares and as of the date of the Prospectus none of them have
listed their shares. Even if the Shares are not so listed or included for
quotation, the Company is under no obligation to liquidate its portfolio within
such period since the precise timing will depend on real estate and financial
markets, economic conditions of the areas in which the Properties are located
and Federal income tax effects on Shareholders which may prevail in the future.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
liquidate its portfolio and it should be noted that the Company will continue in
existence until all Properties are sold and its other assets are liquidated.

      The Company continually may reinvest the proceeds of Property sales in
investments that it or the Advisor believes will satisfy the Company's
investment policies; provided, however, that if the Shares are not listed for
trading on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq,
the Company will cease reinvesting its capital beginning five years after the
proceeds from the Offering are fully invested unless the directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) determine that, in light of the Company's
expected life at any given time, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the
Shareholders to reinvest Cash from Sales and Financings. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Taxation of the Company."

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

      Numerous limitations are placed on the manner in which the Company may
invest its funds. These limitations cannot be changed unless the Bylaws are
amended, which requires the approval of the Shareholders. Unless the Bylaws are
amended, the Company will not:

      -     invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, such
            limitation not being applicable to futures contracts when used
            solely for the purpose of hedging in connection with the Company's
            ordinary business of investing in real estate assets and mortgages,

      -     invest in contracts for the sale of real estate unless such contract
            is in recordable form and is appropriately recorded in the chain of
            title (provided, however, that in no event shall investments in such
            contracts exceed 1% of the total assets of the Company),

      -     engage in any short sale or borrow on an unsecured basis, if such
            borrowing will result in asset coverage of less than 300%. "Asset
            coverage," for the purpose of this clause means the ratio which the
            value of the total assets of the Company, less all liabilities and
            indebtedness for unsecured borrowings, bears to the aggregate amount
            of all unsecured borrowings of the Company,

      -     make investments in Unimproved Real Property or indebtedness secured
            by a deed of trust or mortgage loans on Unimproved Real Property in
            excess of 10% of the total assets of the Company. "Unimproved Real
            Property" means property which has the following three
            characteristics: (i) an equity interest in property which was not
            acquired for the purpose of producing rental or other operating
            income, (ii) no development or construction is in process on such
            property, and (iii) no development or construction on such property
            is planned in good faith to commence on such property within one
            year of acquisition,
<PAGE>   64
      -     issue equity securities on a deferred payment basis or other similar
            arrangement,

      -     issue debt securities in the absence of adequate cash flow to cover
            debt service,

      -     issue equity securities which are non-voting or assessable,


      -     issue "redeemable securities" as defined in Section 2(a)(32) of the
            Investment Company Act of 1940,

      -     grant warrants and/or options to purchase Shares to the Advisor,
            directors or Affiliates thereof except on the same terms as such
            options or warrants are sold to the general public and the amount of
            such options or warrants does not exceed an amount equal to 10% of
            the outstanding Shares on the date of grant of such warrants and
            options,

      -     engage in trading, as compared with investment activities, or engage
            in the business of underwriting or the agency distribution of
            securities issued by other Persons,

      -     invest more than 5% of the value of its assets in the securities of
            any one issuer if such investment would cause the Company to fail to
            qualify as a REIT,

      -     invest in securities representing more than 10% of the outstanding
            voting securities of any one issuer if such investment would cause
            the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT,

      -     acquire securities in any company holding investments or engaging in
            activities prohibited in the foregoing clauses,

      -     lend money to or lease Property to or from the Advisor or its
            Affiliates,

      -     sell Property to the Sponsor, the Advisor, a director or any
            Affiliate of any of the foregoing,

      -     offer Shares in exchange for Property,

      -     make or invest in mortgage loans that are subordinate to any
            mortgage or equity interest of the Advisor, directors, Sponsor or
            Affiliates of the Company, or

      -     make loans where the amount advanced by the Company plus the amount
            of any existing loans that are equal or senior to the Company's loan
            exceeds 100% of the appraised vale of the property.

CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS

      The Bylaws require that the Independent Directors review the Company's
investment policies at least annually to determine that the policies being
followed by the Company are in the best interest of the Shareholders. Each such
determination and the basis therefor shall be set forth in the minutes of the
Company. The methods of implementing the Company's investment policies also may
vary as new investment techniques are developed. The methods of implementing the
investment Procedures, Objectives and Policies of the Company, except as
otherwise provided in the Organizational Documents, may be altered by a majority
of the directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) without the
approval of the Shareholders.


<PAGE>   65
                        HOLDERS OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY

      As of the date of this Prospectus, 20,000 Shares have been issued by the
Company and are held by the Advisor.


            MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company is newly formed and has no operating history. The Company is
dependent upon proceeds received from the Offering to conduct its proposed
activities. The capital required to purchase any Property will be obtained from
the Offering and from any mortgage indebtedness that the Company may incur in
connection with the acquisition of any Property or thereafter. The Company
initially has been capitalized with $200,000 from the sale of 20,000 Shares to
the Advisor. The Company has no commitments to acquire any Property or to make
any other material capital expenditures. For information concerning the
anticipated use of proceeds from the Offering, see "Estimated Use of Proceeds,"
"Investment Objectives and Policies" and "Description of Properties."

     The Company intends to establish a working capital reserve in an amount
equal to 1.0% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, which reserve is anticipated to be
sufficient to satisfy liquidity requirements. Liquidity would be affected
adversely by unanticipated costs and greater-than-anticipated operating
expenses. To the extent that the working capital reserve is insufficient to
satisfy the cash requirements of the Company, additional funds may be provided
from cash generated from operations or through short-term borrowings. In
addition, subject to limitations described in this Prospectus, the Company may
incur indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any Property, refinance
the debt thereon, arrange for the leveraging of any previously unfinanced
Property or reinvest the proceeds of financings or refinancings in additional
Properties. See "Investment Objectives and Policies."
<PAGE>   66
                            DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

      Although the Company has not yet purchased any properties, the Advisor is
evaluating various potential Property acquisitions and is engaging in
discussions with sellers regarding the purchase of Properties for the Company.
During the continuation of the Offering, and at such time during the
negotiations of a potential Property acquisition when the Advisor believes a
reasonable probability exists that such Property will be acquired by the
Company, this Prospectus will be supplemented to disclose such potential
Property acquisition. Based on the Advisor's experience and acquisition methods,
this generally will occur upon the signing of a legally binding purchase
agreement or after the execution of a letter of intent to purchase a Property
and the obtaining of a commitment for financing, but may occur before or after
such events depending on the particular circumstances surrounding each potential
acquisition. Any such supplement to this Prospectus will set forth available
data with respect to the acquisition including the proposed terms of the
purchase, a description of the Property to be acquired, and other information
considered appropriate for an understanding of the transaction. Further data
will be made available after any acquisition has been consummated during the
Offering also by means of a supplement to this Prospectus. See "Reports to
Shareholders" for a description of other reports to Shareholders which will
describe Property acquisitions.

      IT SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE INITIAL DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR
A SUPPLEMENT OF ANY POTENTIAL ACQUISITION CANNOT BE RELIED UPON AS AN ASSURANCE
THAT THE COMPANY ULTIMATELY WILL CONSUMMATE SUCH POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OR THAT
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL ACQUISITION WILL NOT CHANGE
BETWEEN THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS OR SUCH SUPPLEMENT AND ACTUAL PURCHASE.

                   UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS
    

   
      The following discussion is a summary of the material Federal income tax
considerations and the opinion of counsel that may be relevant to prospective
Shareholders and does not purport to be an analysis of all aspects of Federal,
state, local and foreign tax law that may affect a Shareholder's investment in
the Company. 
    

   
      The following discussion is based on the Code, existing laws and
administrative regulations (the "Regulations"), judicial decisions,
administrative rulings and practice, all of which are subject to change
retroactively or prospectively and to possibly different interpretations. The
Company also may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which
the Company is deemed to be doing business or in which it owns Property or other
interests.
    

      Shareholders could be subject to state and local taxes in their
jurisdiction of residence. See "Income Tax Aspects--State and Local Taxes." This
analysis is not intended as a comprehensive discussion of state or local tax
issues or as a substitute for careful tax planning, and prospective Shareholders
are urged to consult their own tax advisors, attorneys or accountants with
specific reference to their own tax situation and potential changes in the
applicable law. See "Risk Factors--Tax Risks--REIT Status for Tax Purposes."

      The following discussion generally is directed to the Federal income tax
treatment of a United States resident individual. Separate sections herein
describe in summary form the Federal income tax treatment of certain other
classes of potential investors including IRAs, Keogh Plans, pension and profit
sharing trusts and other tax-exempt entities, and non-resident alien and foreign
Shareholders. A separate section also describes in summary form the state and
local tax consequences to the Company and its Shareholders. BECAUSE THE TAX
IMPLICATIONS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE
PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR, EACH
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD SATISFY HIMSELF OR HERSELF AS TO THE INCOME AND
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF HIS OR HER INVESTING IN THE COMPANY
BY CONSULTING HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR BEFORE BECOMING A SHAREHOLDER.

OPINION OF COUNSEL

   
      The Company intends to conduct its operations in a manner that will permit
it to qualify and elect to be treated as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes
for no later than its first taxable year in which the Initial Closing Date
occurs and for each taxable year thereafter. The Company has not requested a
ruling from the IRS as to the qualification of the Company as a REIT. The
Company, however, has obtained an opinion consisting of Exhibit 8.1, the tax
opinion and this subsection, Opinion of Counsel, from Reed Smith Shaw & McClay 
on the material Federal income tax consequences that, for Federal income tax
purposes, based on current law or interpretations thereof, (i) the Company will
qualify as a REIT provided the Company is operated in the manner described in
this Prospectus and in accordance with the representations set forth in this
Prospectus and satisfies the Share ownership tests described below, and (ii)
based on Revenue Ruling 66-109, 1966-1 C.B. 151, distributions will not
constitute UBTI to a Shareholder that is a tax-exempt entity (such as a pension
plan, IRA or charitable remainder trust) that is required to account for UBTI
even if the Company owns debt financed property as that term is defined in the
Code, provided that (i) such Shareholder does not incur any "acquisition
indebtedness" with respect to its Shares and (ii) the Company is not a
pension-held REIT as defined by the Code. See "Income Tax Aspects--Taxation of
Tax-Exempt Entities." Each prospective investor should note that the opinions
described herein represent only Counsel's best legal judgment as to the most
likely outcome if relevant issues were litigated by the IRS and have no binding
effect or official status of any kind. Thus, in the absence of a ruling from
the IRS, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any of
Counsel's opinions. Reed Smith Shaw & McClay will not review the Company's
compliance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT on a continuing
basis and although the Board and the Advisor intend to cause the Company to
operate in a manner that will enable it to comply with the REIT Provisions,
there can be no certainty that such intention will be realized. If the IRS
successfully challenges the tax status of the Company as a REIT, many, if not
all, of the tax benefits discussed herein available to entities qualifying as
REITs would not be available to the Company or its Shareholders.
    
<PAGE>   68
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY

      For any taxable year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, it
generally will not be subject to Federal income tax on that portion of its
taxable income that is distributed to Shareholders except certain income or gain
with respect to Foreclosure Property (generally, property the Company acquires
or reenters as a result of a default by a borrower or tenant with respect to
which it files an election with the IRS), which will be taxed at the highest
corporate rate. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a
REIT." If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT, it would be taxed at
rates applicable to corporations on all its income, whether or not distributed
to its Shareholders. Moreover, generally, the Code would not require the Company
to make any distributions. Even if it qualifies as a REIT, the Company will be
taxed at corporate rates on the portion of its taxable income that it does not
distribute to the Shareholders, such as taxable income retained as nondeductible
reserves. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a
REIT--Income Tests" and "Income Tax Aspects--Disposition of Properties."

      In addition, regardless of distributions to Shareholders, if the Company
fails certain tests for qualification as a REIT or engages in Prohibited
Transactions (generally, sales of certain property held by the Company for sale
to customers in the ordinary course of its trade or business), it may retain its
REIT status but be required to pay certain taxes. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a REIT--Income Tests" and "Income Tax
Aspects--Disposition of Properties."

      The Company also will be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Since the
Company will elect to depreciate its Properties pursuant to the alternate
depreciation system, unless it recognizes gain using the installment method, it
should not realize tax preferences or adjustments subject to the alternative
minimum tax. Section 59(d) of the Code authorizes the Department of the Treasury
to issue Regulations allocating items of tax preference between a REIT and its
stockholders. Such Regulations have not yet been issued.

      In addition to the tax on any undistributed income, the Company,
generally, also will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the amount, if any, by
which the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income (as defined in Section 4981
of the Code), (ii) 95% of any net capital gain, and (iii) any undistributed
taxable income from prior years, exceeds the amount actually distributed by the
Company to its Shareholders during the calendar year or declared as a Dividend
during the calendar year (if distributed during the following January). In order
to satisfy this timing requirement, the Company intends to make its fourth
quarter distribution within 31, rather than 45, days after the close of the
fourth calendar quarter and will declare such Dividend before the end of the
quarter in order to avoid imposition of the excise tax. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Taxation of Taxable Domestic Shareholders." Imposition of any tax on
the Company (including excise taxes) would reduce the amount of cash available
for distribution to Shareholders.

REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION AS A REIT

      In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company must elect to be taxed as a
REIT and satisfy a variety of complex tests relating to its organization,
structure, Share ownership, assets, income and distributions, as well as record
keeping requirements. Those tests are summarized below. See also "Income Tax
Aspects--Statement of Stock Ownership."

      Organizational and Structural Requirements and Share Ownership Tests. In
order to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company (i) must be
a domestic corporation (or certain other forms of organization); (ii) must be
managed by one or more trustees or directors; (iii) must have transferable
shares; (iv) cannot be a financial institution or an insurance company; (v) must
have at least 100 Shareholders for at least 335 days of each taxable year of 12
months (or proportionate part of any taxable year of less than 12 months) after
its first taxable year; and (vi) must not be closely held. The Company will be
closely held only if five or fewer individuals or certain tax-exempt entities
own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% (by value) of its Shares at any time
during the last half 
<PAGE>   69
of the taxable year of the Company after its first taxable year. However, for
purposes of the closely-held test, the Code generally permits a look through for
tax-exempt entities subject to the five or fewer rule to the beneficiaries of
such entity to determine if the REIT is closely held if the REIT is a
pension-held REIT. However, if a tax-exempt Shareholder owns more than 25
percent of the Company or one or more such Shareholders, each of whom own at
least 10 percent of the Company, in the aggregate own more than 50 percent of
the Company, such Shareholder(s) may be required to treat all or a portion of
their dividends from the Company as UBTI. See "Taxation of Tax-Exempt Entities."

      As a Maryland corporation, the Company satisfies the first requirement. In
addition, the Company will be managed by a board of directors, has transferable
Shares and does not intend to operate as a financial institution or insurance
company. Additionally, the Company intends to have more than 100 Shareholders.
Furthermore, the Company may refuse to sell or transfer Shares in the Company to
any Person if the sale or transfer would jeopardize the Company's ability to
satisfy the REIT ownership requirements; however, there can be no assurance that
such a refusal to transfer will be effective. Based on the foregoing, the
Company should satisfy the organizational and structural requirements as well as
the Share ownership tests.

      Asset Tests. At the close of each calendar quarter of each taxable year,
the Company must satisfy asset tests set forth in the Code (the "Asset Tests").
At least 75% of the value of the Company's total assets must consist of: (i)
"real estate assets" including real property or interests in real property and
interests in mortgages on real property, shares in other qualifying REITs,
interests in REMICs, certain options and "new capital investments," (ii) cash
and cash items (including receivables arising in the ordinary course of the
Company's operations), and (iii) government securities. A "new capital
investment" is a debt instrument or stock but only for the one-year period
beginning on the date the Company receives such capital.

      Additionally, at the end of each calendar quarter, not more than 25% of
the value of the Company's total assets may consist of securities (other than
those includible under the 75% test). Also, no more than 5% of the value of the
Company's assets may consist of the securities of any one issuer, and the
Company may not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any
one issuer. However, property owned through a "qualified REIT subsidiary," i.e.,
a corporation that is wholly owned by the REIT throughout the entire existence
of the corporation, is treated as property owned directly by the REIT for
Federal income tax purposes.

      The Company must satisfy the Asset Tests at the end of each quarter.
However, a mere change in the market value of the Company's assets alone will
not affect the Company's status as a REIT. Additionally, if, as of the close of
a calendar quarter, the Company fails to satisfy the Asset Tests, it will be
treated as if it had satisfied the Asset Tests at the end of such quarter if it
satisfies the Asset Tests within 30 days after the close of such quarter.

      Income Tests. To qualify and maintain its status as a REIT, the Company
must satisfy three distinct income-based tests with respect to the sources of
its income for each taxable year; the "75% Income Test," the "95% Income Test"
and the "30% Income Test."

      75% Income Test and 95% Income Test. The 75% Income Test requires that at
least 75% of the Company's gross income (excluding gross income from Prohibited
Transactions, i.e. generally, sales of certain property held primarily for sale
to customers in the ordinary course of business) be derived from: (i) "rents
from real property;" (ii) interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real
property or on interests in real property (other than interest based in whole or
in part on the income or profits unless such interest is based on gross sales or
receipts) and income derived from the ownership of interests in a REMIC; (iii)
gain from the sale or other disposition (other than in a Prohibited Transaction)
of REIT shares or of a real estate asset; (iv) dividends or other distributions
on shares in other REITs; (v) abatements and refunds of taxes on real property;
(vi) income and gain from the sale or other disposition of Foreclosure Property;
(vii) amounts (other than amounts the determination of which depend, in whole or
in part, on the income or profits of any person or entity) received or accrued
as consideration for entering into 
<PAGE>   70
agreements to make loans secured by mortgages on real property (e.g. commitment
fees) or to purchase or lease real property (including interests in mortgages on
real property); and (viii) qualified temporary investment income, for example,
income from "new capital investments" (as defined above).

      Rents received by the Company for Properties will qualify as "rents from
real property" for purposes of the 75% Income Test if the following requirements
are satisfied:

            (i) Generally, the amount of rent received must not be based on the
      income or profits of a tenant but may be based on a fixed percentage of a
      tenant's gross receipts or sales;

            (ii)  The Company may not own, actually or constructively, a 10% or
      greater interest in a tenant;

   
            (iii) The Company does not furnish or render certain services to the
      tenants of such Property, other than through an independent contractor, as
      defined by the Code, from whom it does not derive income. Because
      Properties are expected to be leased under net leases, the Company is not
      expected to furnish or render any services to tenants. For tax years
      beginning after August 5, 1997 the date of enactment or the 1997 Tax Act,
      the Company may furnish a de minimis amount of service (as defined by the
      Code). The Company currently intends to engage an Affiliate of the Advisor
      as an independent contractor for any Property that is no longer operated
      by the tenant as a consequence of a lease default or termination; and
    

            (iv) Rent attributable to personal property leased in connection
      with a lease of real property may not exceed 15% of the total rent
      received under the lease. For this purpose, rent is attributable to real
      and personal property in proportion to the relative adjusted tax bases of
      such property.

      If the Company acquires ownership of Property by reason of the default of
a borrower on a loan or possession of Property by reason of a tenant default, if
the Property qualifies and the Company elects to treat it as Foreclosure
Property, the income from the Property will qualify under the 75% Income Test
and the 95% Income Test notwithstanding its failure to satisfy the foregoing
requirements for two years, or if extended for good cause, up to a total of five
years. In that event, the Company must satisfy a number of complex rules, one of
which is a requirement that it operate the Property through an independent
contractor. The Company will be subject to tax on that portion of its net income
from Foreclosure Property that does not otherwise qualify under the 75% Income
Test.

      In addition to deriving 75% of its gross income from the sources described
above, the 95% Income Test requires that at least an additional 20% of the
Company's gross income (excluding income from Prohibited Transactions) must be
derived from those items described in the 75% Income Test, as well as dividends
or interest from any source, and gains from the sale or other disposition of
stock and securities.

      Prior to the making of any investments in Properties, the Company may
satisfy the 75% Asset Test and the 95% Income Test by investing in liquid assets
such as government securities or certificates of deposit, but earnings from
those types of assets are qualifying income under the 75% Income Test only for
one year from the receipt of proceeds from the Offering. Accordingly, to the
extent that Offering proceeds have not been invested in Properties prior to the
expiration of this one-year period, in order to satisfy the 75% Income Test, the
Company may invest such Offering proceeds in less liquid investments such as
mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHMA, or FHLMC, maturing mortgage
loans purchased from mortgage lenders or shares in other REITs. The Company
expects to receive proceeds from the Offering in a series of closings and to
trace such proceeds for purposes of determining the one-year period for "new
capital investments." No rulings or Regulations have been issued under the
provisions of the Code governing "new capital investments," so that there can be
no assurance that the IRS will agree with this method of calculation. In the
unlikely event that the Company has difficulties in investing its Offering
proceeds in Properties or other assets generating income qualifying under the
75% Income Test within this one-year period, the time when the Company is able
to qualify as a REIT could be delayed, and the Company might not qualify as a
REIT during its first or second years of operation.
<PAGE>   71
      If the Company fails to satisfy either the 75% Income Test or 95% Income
Test during a taxable year, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of
the amount by which it fails either the 75% Income Test or the 95% Income Test.
However, it still may qualify as a REIT in such year if (i) it reports the
source and nature of each item of its gross income in its Federal income tax
return for such year; (ii) the inclusion of any incorrect information in its
return is not due to fraud with intent to evade tax; and (iii) the failure to
meet such tests is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

   
      30% Income Test. For the Company's tax year ending December 31, 1997, Less
than 30% of the Company's gross income may be derived from the sale or other
disposition of: (i) stock or securities held for less than 12 months; (ii)
property in a transaction that is a Prohibited Transaction; and (iii) real
property and mortgage loans secured by real property held for less than four
years other than (a) property compulsorily or involuntarily converted and (b)
Foreclosure Property. Thus, sales and other dispositions of real property that
has been held less than four years by the Company, depending upon the amount of
the Company's other income in the year of sale, could cause the Company not to
satisfy the requirements of the 30% Income Test. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Disposition of Properties." (For the taxable year in which a REIT
completely liquidates, gain from the disposition of property after adoption of
the plan of complete liquidations is not taken into account for purposes of the
30% Income Test.)
    

      No mitigation provisions apply to a failure of the 30% Income Test.
Therefore, if the Company fails to satisfy the 30% Income Test, regardless of
the reason for such failure, its status as a REIT automatically terminates. See
"Income Tax Aspects--Termination of REIT Status." The 30% Income Test also
repealed for the tax years beginning after August 5, 1997, the date of
enactment of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997 Tax Act").


   
      For purposes of the foregoing asset and income tests, if the Company
invests as a partner in a partnership or in a qualified REIT subsidiary, it will
be deemed to own its proportionate share of the partnership's or subsidiary's
assets and will take into account its proportionate share of the partnership's
or its subsidiary's income items and such income items will retain the same
character (e.g., rent, gain from "dealer property," (i.e., property held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the holder's business,
etc.)) they had at the partnership or subsidiary level. Except for amounts
received with respect to certain investments in cash reserves, the Company
anticipates that substantially all of its gross income will be derived from (i)
rents from its Properties, (ii) income from mortgage-backed securities, (iii)
income from "new capital investments" (as defined above), (iv) gains from the
disposition of Properties held for four years or more, (v) gains from the
disposition of securities, and (vi) income from other qualified real estate
assets. Consequently, while the Company expects to satisfy the income tests, no
assurance can be given in this regard.
    

      Distribution Requirement. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, the
Company must satisfy the "95% Distribution Test." The 95% Distribution Test
requires, generally, that the Company distribute to the Shareholders its
Distributable REIT Taxable Income (generally, 95% of its taxable income less its
net capital gains). The 95% Distribution Test is based on the Company's REIT
Taxable Income rather than its available cash. As a result, while the Company
expects to satisfy this requirement, its ability to make the required
distributions may be impaired if it has insufficient cash flow or otherwise has
excessive noncash income or nondeductible expenditures. Furthermore, if after
the close of a taxable year, the IRS successfully adjusts the income of the
Company (e.g., challenges a deduction taken by the Company), the 95%
Distribution Test may be determined not to have been satisfied in such a year.
In such a case, the Company may elect to make a deficiency dividend in order to
satisfy the 95% Distribution Test. See "Income Tax Aspects--Sale-Leaseback
Transactions."

      In computing its REIT Taxable Income, the Company expects to use the
accrual method of accounting and depreciate depreciable Property under the
alternative depreciation system. The Company is required to file an annual
Federal income tax return, which, like other corporate returns, is subject to
IRS examination. Because the tax law requires the Company to make many judgments
regarding the proper treatment of a transaction or an item of income or
deduction, it is possible that the IRS will challenge positions taken by the
Company in computing its REIT Taxable 
<PAGE>   72
Income and its distributions. Issues could arise, for example, with respect to
the allocation of the purchase price of Properties between depreciable or
amortizable assets and nondepreciable or non-amortizable assets such as land and
the current deductibility of fees paid to the Advisor or its Affiliates. Were
the IRS to challenge successfully the Company's characterization of a
transaction or determination of its REIT Taxable Income, the Company could be
found not to have satisfied a requirement for qualification as a REIT and
mitigation provisions might not apply. See "Income Tax Aspects--Sale-Leaseback
Transactions." If, as a result of a challenge, the Company is determined not to
have satisfied the 95% Distribution Test, it would be disqualified as a REIT
(unless it were to pay a deficiency dividend and pay interest and a penalty) as
provided by the Code. A deficiency dividend cannot be used to satisfy the 95%
Distribution Test if the failure to meet such test was not due to a later
adjustment to the Company's income by the IRS.

      For purposes of the 95% Distribution Test, dividends include not only
dividends paid during the taxable year but also dividends that are declared
before the due date of the Company's tax return for the taxable year (including
extensions) and are paid within 12 months of the end of such taxable year and no
later than the Company's next regular distribution payment. However, see "Income
Tax Aspects--Taxation of the Company" for discussion of an excise tax provision
that could require the Company to distribute its fourth quarter dividend in each
year on or before January 31 of the following year and see "Income Tax
Aspects--Taxation of Taxable Domestic Shareholders" for a discussion of how
taxable Shareholders are taxed on distributions.

TERMINATION OF REIT STATUS

      The Company intends to satisfy all of the qualification tests and
requirements for it to be treated as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.
However, if it fails to meet one or more of them and such failure is not
mitigated, its election to be a REIT will terminate, effective for the year of
such failure and all succeeding years. However, if (i) the Company did not
willfully fail to file a timely return with respect to the termination taxable
year, (ii) inclusion of any incorrect information in such return was not due to
fraud with intent to evade tax, and (iii) the Company establishes that failure
to meet the requirements was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect,
the Company could elect again to be taxed as a REIT, if it so qualified, for the
first taxable year after its election terminated provided that it had no
undistributed earnings and profits. Furthermore, while the Company has no
intention of doing so, it may revoke its election voluntarily. Except as
discussed above, in the event of a termination of the Company's election to be
taxed as a REIT, a new election may not be made by the Company for any taxable
year prior to the fifth taxable year following the year of termination.

      If the Company were to reelect to qualify as a REIT after its election
terminated for any reason, in the tax year immediately prior to its reelection,
it would be required to include in its income any "net built-in gain" and pay
corporate level income tax on such amount. Net built-in gain is the excess of
aggregate gains (including income items) over aggregate losses that would have
been realized had the Company sold all of its assets. Alternatively, the Company
could elect to treat its net built-in gains similarly to the way certain S
corporations treat net built-in gains, i.e., any net built-in gain recognized
over the ten-year period after the election would be subject to tax at the
corporate level. The President of the United States has submitted proposed
legislation to Congress that would eliminate the ability of S corporations and
REITS, the fair market value of which exceeds $5,000,000, from taking advantage
of the 10 year period.

SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

      Many of the Company's investments are and will be in the form of
sale-leaseback transactions wherein the Company either will (i) purchase
Property free of encumbrances, net lease such Property back to the seller and
obtain separate mortgage financing or (ii) purchase Property subject to a
mortgage and an existing net lease. In most instances, depending on the economic
terms of the transaction, the Company will be treated for Federal income tax
purposes as either the owner of the Property or the holder of a debt secured by
the Property. The Company does not expect to 
<PAGE>   73
request an opinion of counsel concerning the status of any leases of Properties
as true leases for Federal income tax purposes.

      The IRS may take the position that certain sale-leaseback transactions the
Company will treat as true leases are not true leases for Federal income tax
purposes but are, instead, financing arrangements or loans or the Company may
structure certain sale-leaseback transactions as such. In such event, for
purposes of the Asset Test and the 75% Income Test, each such loan likely would
be viewed as secured by real property to the extent of the fair market value of
the Underlying Real Property. It is expected that, for this purpose, the fair
market value of the Underlying Real Property would be determined without taking
into account the Company's lease. If a sale-leaseback transaction were
successfully so recharacterized, the Company might fail to satisfy the Asset
Tests or the Income Tests and consequently lose its REIT status effective with
the year of recharacterization or the amount of the Company's REIT Taxable
Income could be affected. As a consequence, the Company's Distributable REIT
Taxable Income could be determined to be greater than the amount reported by the
Company, and, therefore, the Company potentially could have failed the 95%
Distribution Test. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements for Qualification as a
REIT -- Distribution Requirement."

DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

      Gain or loss realized by the Company upon the disposition of any Property
acquired by the Company will be treated as capital gain or loss except to the
extent (i) of depreciation recapture, if any, with respect to any personal
Property sold, (ii) in the year of sale, the Company realized a net loss on the
sale of depreciable property which is real estate used in its trade or business,
(iii) the Company has net unrecaptured Code Section 1231 losses, or (iv) the
Property sold is dealer property (as defined above). If the Company disposes of
real property in a Prohibited Transaction: (a) any gains recognized by the
Company upon the disposition of the real property may be subject to a 100% tax
on resulting net income except insofar as the Company satisfies certain
statutory safe harbors. Moreover, depending on the composition of the Company's
total gross income, the Company could fail one or more of the income tests for
qualification as a REIT. Under existing law, whether a Property is held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business must be
determined from all the facts and circumstances then surrounding the particular
Property and sale in question. The Company intends to hold all Property for
investment purposes and to make such occasional dispositions thereof as in the
opinion of the Board and the Advisor are consistent with the Company's
investment objectives and in compliance with all the rules discussed above
governing the qualification of the Company for REIT status. Accordingly, the
Company does not anticipate that it will be treated as a "dealer" with respect
to any of its assets. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not
take a contrary position.

      Additionally, the Code provides that sales that meet the following
requirements will not be Prohibited Transactions even if the Property sold was
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the REIT's trade
or business: (i) the Company held the Property for four or more years, (ii)
expenditures made by the Company during the prior four-year period includible in
the basis for the Property do not exceed 30% of the net sales price of the
Property, (iii) either (a) during the Company's tax year, the Company does not
make more than seven sales of Properties (other than Foreclosure Property) or
(b) the aggregate adjusted tax basis of Properties (other than Foreclosure
Property) sold during the tax year does not exceed 10% of the aggregate basis of
all of the Company's assets as of the beginning of its tax year, (iv) if the
Property sold consists of land or improvements which is not Foreclosure
Property, the Company held the Property for four or more years for production of
rental income, and (v) if (iii)(a) is not satisfied, substantially all of the
marketing and development expenditures made with respect to the Property were
made through an independent contractor. See "Income Tax Aspects--Requirements
for Qualification as a REIT--Income Tests." For purposes of requirement
(iii)(a), a sale of more than one Property to one buyer as part of one
transaction is treated as one sale.
<PAGE>   74
TAXATION OF TAXABLE DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS

      As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions from the Company
(other than distributions designated as capital gain dividends) will be taxable
to Shareholders who are not tax-exempt entities as ordinary income to the extent
of the earnings and profits of the Company. Any Dividend declared by the Company
in October, November or December of any year payable to Shareholders of record
on a date in such month will be treated as if it were received by the
Shareholders on December 31, provided such Dividend actually is paid by January
31, of the following year. Consequently, any such Dividend will be taxable to a
Shareholder in such Shareholder's taxable year including December 31. (It is
possible that any portion of a Dividend made to a Shareholder after December 31
not from current or accumulated earnings and profits would be treated as a
distribution by the Company in the year it is actually made. Accordingly, if the
Company has sufficient earnings and profits in the year in which such Dividend
actually is paid, no portion of such Dividend would be a return of capital
distribution.) Dividends paid to such Shareholders will not constitute passive
activity income (such income, therefore, will not be subject to reduction by
losses from passive activities of a Shareholder who is subject to the passive
activity loss rules). Such distributions, however, will be considered investment
income, which may be offset by investment expense deductions. Dividends from the
Company that are designated as capital gains dividends by the Company will be
taxed as long-term capital gain to taxable Shareholders to the extent that they
do not exceed the Company's actual net capital gain for the taxable year. A
Shareholder that is a corporation may be required to treat up to 20% of any such
capital gains dividend as ordinary income. Such distributions, whether
characterized as ordinary income or as capital gains, are not eligible for the
70% dividends received deduction for corporations. Shareholders are not
permitted to deduct any net losses of the Company.

   
      For tax years beginning after August 5, 1997, the Company may elect to
retain its net long term capital gains and pay tax on such gains. If the Company
makes such an  election, each Shareholders will include in his income his share
of the Company's undistributed gain as designated by the Company and each
Shareholder will be deemed to have paid his proportionate share of the tax paid
on such gain by the Company. The Shareholders basis for his shares will be
increased by his share of the undistributed gain.
    

      A Dividend that is not designated as a capital gains dividend and that is
in excess of the Company's current or accumulated earnings and profits is
treated as a return of capital to a Shareholder and reduces the tax basis of the
Shareholder's Shares (but not below zero). Any such distribution in excess of
the tax basis of a Shareholder's Shares is taxable to any such Shareholder who
is not a tax-exempt entity as gain realized from the sale of the Shares.

TAXATION OF DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY

   
      In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of Shares
of the Company by a Shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more
than 18 months, mid term gain if the shares are held for more than 12 months but
not more than 18 months, and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares
have been held for 12 months or less. If, however, the Shareholders have
received any capital gains dividends with respect to such Shares, any loss
realized upon a taxable disposition of Shares held for six months or less, to
the extent of such capital gains dividends received with respect to such Shares,
will be treated as long-term capital loss. Also, the IRS is authorized to issue
regulations that would pass through a proportionate share of the Company's
depreciation subjecting gain attributable to such depreciation to tax of a 25
percent rate.
    

TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES

   
      In general, a Shareholder that is a tax-exempt entity not subject to tax
on its investment income will not be subject to tax on distributions from the
Company. In Revenue Ruling 66-106, 1966-1 C.B. 151, the IRS ruled that amounts
distributed as dividends by a REIT do not constitute UBTI when received by a
qualified plan. Based on that ruling, Counsel has opined that, regardless
whether the Company incurs indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of
Properties, distributions paid by the Company to a Shareholder that is a
tax-exempt entity will not be treated as UBTI, provided that (i) the tax-exempt
entity has not financed the acquisition of its Shares with "acquisition
indebtedness" within the meaning of the Code and the Shares otherwise are not
used in an unrelated trade or business of the tax-exempt entity and (ii) the
Company is not a pension-held REIT. This opinion applies to a Shareholder that
is an organization that qualifies under Code Section 401(a), an IRA or any other
tax-exempt organization that would compute UBTI, if any, in accordance with Code
Section 512(a)(1). However, if the Company is a pension-held REIT and a
tax-exempt Shareholder owns more than 10 percent of the Company, such
Shareholder will be required to recognize as UBTI that percentage of the
dividends that it receives from the Company as is equal to the percentage of the
Company's gross income that would be 
    
<PAGE>   75
UBTI to the Company if the Company were a tax-exempt entity required to
recognize UBTI. A REIT is a pension-held REIT if at least one qualified trust
holds more than 25 percent of the value of the REIT's shares or one or more
qualified trusts, each of whom own more than 10 percent of the REIT's shares,
hold more than 50 percent of the value of the REIT's shares. A tax-exempt
Shareholder also should be aware that Congress currently is examining the
taxation of investment income received by tax-exempt entities including the
treatment of income received by such entities from REITs and other pass-through
entities and is considering whether to treat income derived from a REIT as UBTI
to the extent that the REIT has incurred debt to acquire its assets. The
Congressional committee conducting this examination has not yet concluded its
study.

      For social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, supplemental
unemployment benefit trusts and qualified group legal services plans exempt from
Federal income taxation under Code Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and
(c)(20), respectively, income from an investment in the Company will constitute
UBTI unless the organization is able to deduct amounts set aside or placed in
reserve for certain purposes so as to offset the UBTI generated by its
investment in the Company. Such prospective Shareholders should consult their
own tax advisors concerning these "set aside" and reserve requirements.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

      The rules governing United States Federal income taxation of nonresident
alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign
Shareholders are complex and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than
a summary of such rules. Prospective foreign Shareholders should consult with
their own tax advisors to determine the impact of United States Federal, state
and local income tax laws with regard to an investment in Shares.

      A nonresident shareholder of a REIT generally is not considered to be
engaged in a trade or business through a permanent establishment in the United
States by reason of their ownership of shares in the REIT. The taxation of
Dividends will depend generally upon whether the Dividends are attributable to
ordinary income or capital gain. To the extent the Dividends are attributable to
ordinary income, they will be treated as dividend income to the extent of the
earnings and profits of the Company and will be subject to a withholding tax
equal to 30% of the gross amount of the Dividends unless (i) an applicable tax
treaty between the United States and the country of residence for tax purposes
of the foreign Shareholder reduces or eliminates that tax, or (ii) the foreign
Shareholder is independently engaged in a United States trade or business and
the Dividends received from the Company are effectively connected with that
trade or business. The Company expects to withhold United States income tax at
the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such distributions made to a foreign
Shareholder unless (i) a lower treaty rate applies and the Shareholder files IRS
Form 1001 or (ii) the Shareholder files an IRS Form 4224 with the Company
claiming that the distribution is effectively connected income. Ordinary income
Dividends in excess of the Company's earnings and profits will be treated as a
nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the foreign Shareholder's cost of
his Shares, with any additional amounts treated as amounts received in exchange
for his Shares.

      Capital gains Dividends paid to a foreign Shareholder will be taxed to
such foreign Shareholder under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real
Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, these distributions, to the
extent attributable to U.S. real property interests, are taxed to foreign
Shareholders as effectively connected with a United States business, thereby
subjecting such gain to United States income tax (at a rate of not less than 21%
in the case of foreign individuals). The Company is required by applicable
Temporary Regulations, to withhold 34% of any distribution designated or that
could be designated by the Company as a capital gains dividend. Also, capital
gains dividends (net of the amount of regular income tax) may be subject to a
30% branch profits tax in the hands of a foreign corporate Shareholder not
entitled to treaty exemption from the branch profits tax.

      Gain recognized by a foreign Shareholder upon a sale of Shares generally
will not be subject to FIRPTA taxation and withholding rules provided the
Company is a 
<PAGE>   76
domestically controlled REIT (i.e., a REIT that is owned less than 50% by
foreign Persons during a specified testing period). Such gain, however, would be
taxable to a foreign Shareholder if (i) the gain is effectively connected with
the foreign Shareholder's United States trade or business or (ii) the foreign
Shareholder is an individual who is physically present in the United States for
183 days or more during the taxable year and has a tax home in the United
States.

      Unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise, Shares owned by
a nonresident alien decedent will be included in his estate for purposes of the
United States Estate tax. Tax is imposed at progressive rates.

UNITED STATES REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

      The Company is required to file an information return with the IRS setting
forth the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the payee of
dividends from the Company (whether the payee is a nominee or is the actual
beneficial owner).

BACKUP WITHHOLDING

      The Company will report to its domestic Shareholders and to the IRS the
amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax
withheld, if any, with respect thereto. Under the backup withholding rules, a
Shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% with respect
to dividends paid unless such Shareholder (a) is a corporation or comes within
certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or
(b) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of
exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with applicable
requirements of the backup withholding rules. A Shareholder that does not
provide the Company with its correct taxpayer identification number may also be
subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup withholding
will be creditable against the Shareholder's income tax liability. In addition,
the Company may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions
made to any Shareholders who fail to certify their non-foreign status to the
Company. See "Taxation of Foreign Shareholders."

STATEMENT OF STOCK OWNERSHIP

      The Company is required to demand annual written statements from the
record holders of designated percentages of its Shares disclosing the actual
owners of the Shares. Any record Shareholder who, upon request by the Company,
does not provide the Company with required information concerning actual
ownership of the Shares is required to include certain specified information
relating thereto in his Federal income tax return. The Company also must
maintain, within the Internal Revenue District in which it is required to file
its Federal income tax return, permanent records showing the information it has
received as to the actual ownership of such Shares and a list of those persons
failing or refusing to comply with such demand.



   
                                STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
    

      The Company and its Shareholders may be subject to state and/or local
taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact
business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of the Company and its
Shareholders may differ substantially from the Federal income tax treatment
described in this summary. CONSEQUENTLY, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD
CONSULT WITH HIS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH REGARD TO THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.
<PAGE>   77
                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

      The following is a summary of certain non-tax considerations associated
with an investment in the Company by a qualified plan, Keogh Plan or an IRA.
This summary is based on provisions of ERISA and the Code, as amended through
the date of this Prospectus, and relevant regulations and opinions issued by the
Department of Labor. No assurance can be given that legislative or
administrative changes or court decisions may not be forthcoming which would
significantly modify the statements expressed herein. Any such changes may or
may not apply to transactions entered into prior to the date of their enactment.

      In considering an investment in the Company of the assets of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA, such as a profit-sharing, 401(k), or a pension
plan, or of any other retirement plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the
Code such as an IRA or Keogh Plan (collectively, "Benefit Plans"), a fiduciary,
taking into account the facts and circumstances of such Benefit Plan, should
consider, among other matters, (i) whether the investment is consistent with the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, (ii) whether the investment will
produce UBTI to the Benefit Plan (see "Income Tax Aspects--Taxation of
Tax-Exempt Entities") and (iii) the need to value the assets of the Benefit Plan
annually.

      Under ERISA, a plan fiduciary's responsibilities include the duty (i) to
act solely in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries and for the
exclusive purpose of providing benefits to them, as well as defraying reasonable
expenses of plan administration; (ii) to invest plan assets prudently; (iii) to
diversify the investments of the plan unless it is clearly prudent not to do so;
and (iv) to comply with plan documents insofar as they are consistent with
ERISA. ERISA also requires that the assets of an employee benefit plan be held
in trust and that the trustee (or a duly authorized investment manager) have
exclusive authority and discretion to manage and control the assets of the plan.

      In addition, Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit
certain transactions involving assets of a Benefit Plan and any "party in
interest" or "disqualified person" with respect to that Benefit Plan. These
transactions are prohibited regardless of how beneficial they may be for the
Benefit Plan. The prohibited transactions include the sale, exchange or leasing
of property, the lending of money or the extension of credit between a Benefit
Plan and a party in interest or disqualified person, and the transfer to, or use
by, or for the benefit of, a party in interest, or disqualified person, of any
assets of a Benefit Plan. A fiduciary of a Benefit Plan also is prohibited from
engaging in self-dealing, acting for a person who has an interest adverse to the
plan (other than in the case of most IRAs and some Keogh Plans), or receiving
any consideration for its own account from a party dealing with the plan in a
transaction involving plan assets.

      Furthermore, Section 408 of the Code states that assets of an IRA trust
may not be commingled with other property except in a common trust fund or
common investment fund.

PLAN ASSETS

      Neither ERISA nor the Code define the term "plan assets." However, on
November 13, 1986, the Department of Labor published a final regulation
describing what constitutes the assets of a Benefit Plan when it invests in
certain kinds of entities (29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, the "Regulation"). The
Regulation was generally effective as of March 13, 1987. As discussed below, the
Company has received an opinion of counsel that, under the final regulations
issued by the Department of Labor, the assets of the Company should not be
deemed to be "plan assets" if Benefit Plans invest in Shares, assuming certain
conditions set forth in the opinion are satisfied.

      Under the Regulation, the assets of corporations, partnerships, or other
entities in which a Benefit Plan makes an equity investment will be deemed to be
assets of the Benefit Plan unless the entity satisfies at least one of the
exceptions to this general rule. The Regulation provides as one such exception
that the underlying assets of entities such as the Company will not be treated
as assets of a 
<PAGE>   78
Benefit Plan if the interest the Benefit Plan acquires is a "publicly-offered
security." A publicly-offered security must be (i) "freely transferable," (ii)
part of a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more persons who are
independent of the issuer and one another, and (iii) sold as part of a public
offering registered under the Securities Act and be part of a class of
securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), within a specified time period.

      The Shares are being sold as part of an offering of securities to the
public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and the Company has represented that the Shares will be part of a class
registered under the Exchange Act within the specified time frames. Any Shares
purchased, therefore, should satisfy the third criterion of the publicly offered
exemption.

      The Company has over 100 shareholders. Thus, the second criterion of the
publicly offered exception will be satisfied.

      Whether a security is freely transferable depends upon the particular
facts and circumstances. The Shares will be subject to restrictions intended to
ensure that the Company continues to qualify for Federal income tax treatment as
a REIT. According to the Regulation, where the minimum investment in a public
offering of securities is $10,000 or less, the presence of a restriction on
transferability intended to prohibit transfers which would result in a
termination or reclassification of the entity for state or Federal tax purposes
will not ordinarily affect a determination that such securities are freely
transferable. The minimum investment in Shares is less than $10,000. Thus, the
restrictions imposed to maintain the Company's status as a REIT should not cause
the Shares to not be freely transferable.

      The Company has obtained an opinion from counsel that the Shares should
constitute "publicly-offered securities" and that the underlying assets of the
Company should not be considered plan assets under the Regulation assuming the
Offering takes place as described in this Prospectus.

      In the event that the underlying assets of the Company were treated by the
Department of Labor as assets of a Benefit Plan, the management of the Company
would be treated as fiduciaries with respect to Benefit Plan Shareholders and
the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and the Code would apply to any
transaction involving management and assets of the Company, unless an
administrative or statutory exemption under ERISA applies. Such restrictions
could, for example, require that the Company avoid transactions with entities
that are affiliated with the Company or its Affiliates or restructure its
activities in order to obtain an exemption from the prohibited transaction
restrictions. Alternatively, the Company might provide Benefit Plan Shareholders
with the opportunity to sell their Shares to the Company or the Company might
dissolve or terminate.

      If the underlying assets of the Company were treated as assets of a
Benefit Plan, the investment in the Company also might constitute an improper
delegation of fiduciary responsibility to the Advisor and expose the fiduciary
of the plan to co-fiduciary liability under ERISA for any breach by the Advisor
of its ERISA fiduciary duties. Finally, an investment by an IRA in the Company
might result in an impermissible commingling of plan assets with other property.

      If a prohibited transaction were to occur, the Code imposes an excise tax
equal to five percent of the amount involved and authorizes the IRS to impose an
additional 100% excise tax if the prohibited transaction is not "corrected."
Such taxes would be imposed on any disqualified person who participates in the
prohibited transaction. In addition, the Advisor and possibly other fiduciaries
of Benefit Plan Shareholders subject to ERISA who permitted such prohibited
transaction to occur or who otherwise breached their fiduciary responsibilities
would be required to restore to the plan any profits realized by these
fiduciaries as a result of the transaction or breach, and make good to the plan
any losses incurred by the plan as a result of such transaction or breach. With
respect to an IRA that invests in the Company, the occurrence of a prohibited
transaction involving the individual who established the IRA, or his or her
beneficiary, would cause the IRA to lose its tax-exempt status under Section
408(e)(2) of the Code.
<PAGE>   79
      In the opinion of counsel, as discussed above, the assets of the Company
should not constitute plan assets following an investment in Shares by Benefit
Plans. Accordingly, the problems discussed in the preceding three paragraphs are
not expected to arise.

OTHER PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

      Regardless of whether the Shares qualify for the "publicly-offered
security" exception of the Regulation, a prohibited transaction could occur if
the Company, CFA, any Selected Dealer, the Escrow Agent or any of their
Affiliates is a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21)) of ERISA with
respect to the purchase of the Shares. Accordingly, unless an administrative or
statutory exemption applies, Shares should not be purchased by a Benefit Plan to
which any of the above Persons is a fiduciary with respect to the purchase. A
Person is a fiduciary to a plan under Section 3(21) of ERISA if, among other
things, the Person has discretionary authority or control with respect to plan
assets or provides investment advice for a fee with respect to such assets.
Under a regulation issued by the Department of Labor, a Person would be deemed
to be providing investment advice if such Person renders advice as to the
advisability of investing in Shares and that Person regularly provides
investment advice to the plan pursuant to a mutual agreement or understanding
(written or otherwise) that (i) such advice will serve as the primary basis for
investment decisions and (ii) such advice will be individualized for the plan
based on its particular needs.

INVESTMENT IN ESCROW ACCOUNT

      The Escrow Agent will establish two separate escrow accounts. Benefit Plan
funds will be deposited in one account while funds from all other investors will
be deposited in another account. Pending issuance of the Shares to a Benefit
Plan, the Escrow Agent will invest Benefit Plan funds in a money market account
maintained by the Escrow Agent. On the Initial Closing Date and each closing
date thereafter, the funds paid by each Benefit Plan will be released from the
Benefit Plan escrow account and exchanged for the applicable number of Shares.
Any interest earned by that account prior to any such closing date will be paid
to the investing Benefit Plan.

      In considering an investment in the Company, a plan fiduciary should
consider whether the escrow account arrangement as well as the ultimate
investment in the Company would be consistent with fiduciary standards
applicable to that Benefit Plan.

ANNUAL VALUATION

      A fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA is required to
determine annually the fair market value of each asset of the plan as of the end
of the plan's fiscal year and to file an Annual Return/Report on Form 5500
reflecting that value. When no fair market value of a particular asset is
available, the fiduciary is to make a good faith determination of that asset's
"fair market value" assuming an orderly liquidation at the time the
determination is made. In addition, a trustee or custodian of an IRA must
provide an IRA participant with a statement of the value of the IRA each year.
In discharging its obligation to value assets of a plan, a fiduciary subject to
ERISA must act consistently with the relevant provisions of the plan and the
general fiduciary standards of ERISA.

      Unless and until the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange
or are included for quotation on Nasdaq, it is not expected that a public market
for the Shares will develop. To date, neither the IRS nor the Department of
Labor has promulgated regulations specifying how a plan fiduciary should
determine the "fair market value" of the Shares under those circumstances,
namely when the fair market value of the Shares is not determined in the
marketplace. Therefore, to assist fiduciaries in fulfilling their valuation and
annual reporting responsibilities with respect to ownership of Shares, the
directors intend to provide reports of the directors' annual determinations of
the current value of the Company's net assets per outstanding Share to those
fiduciaries (including IRA trustees and custodians) who identify themselves to
the directors as such and request the reports. Prior to and for the year ending
December 31, 2002, the directors intend to use the offering price of Shares as
the per Share net asset value. Thereafter, beginning with the year 
<PAGE>   80
2003, the value of the Properties and other assets of the Company will be based
on a Valuation. Such Valuation may be, but is not required to be, performed by
Independent Appraisers.

      The directors anticipate that they will provide annual reports of such
determinations (i) to IRA trustees and custodians not later than January 15 of
each year, and (ii) to other qualified plan trustees and custodians within 75
days after the end of each calendar year. Each determination may be based upon
valuation information available as of October 31 of the preceding year, updated
for any material changes occurring between October 31 and December 31 of such
year.

      The directors intend to revise these valuation procedures to conform with
any relevant guidelines that the IRS or the Department of Labor may hereafter
issue. Meanwhile, there can be no assurance (i) that such value could or will
actually be realized by the Company or by Shareholders upon liquidation (in part
because appraisal or estimated value do not necessarily indicate the price at
which assets could be sold and because no attempt will be made to estimate the
expenses of selling any assets of the Company), (ii) that Shareholders could
realize such value if they were to attempt to sell their Shares, or (iii) that
such value would comply with the ERISA or IRA requirements described above.


                              DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

      The following description of the Shares does not purport to be complete
but contains a summary of portions of the Articles of Incorporation and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Incorporation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

      The Company is authorized to issue 60,000,000 Shares, each Share having
a par value of $.001. Each Share is entitled to participate equally in Dividends
when and as declared by the directors and in the distribution of assets of the
Company upon liquidation. Each Share is entitled to one vote and will be fully
paid and non-assessable by the Company upon issuance and payment therefor.
Shares, other than Excess Shares, which are defined in the Organizational
Documents to mean Shares held by an investor in excess of 9.8% of the total
number of Shares issued and outstanding at the time such Shares are acquired,
are not subject to redemption by the Company. The Shares have no preemptive
rights which rights are intended to insure that a Shareholder maintains the same
ownership interest (on a percentage basis) before and after the issuance of
additional securities by the Company or cumulative voting rights (which are
intended to increase the ability of smaller groups of Shareholders to elect
directors). The Company currently does not intend to issue any securities other
than the Shares discussed in this Prospectus, although it may do so at any time.
The Company has the authority at the discretion of the directors (including a
majority of the Independent Directors) to authorize the listing, issuance and
sale of the Shares on a national securities exchange or on Nasdaq. In addition,
the Company has the authority to issue shares of any class or securities
convertible into shares of any class or classes, to classify or to reclassify
any unissued stock by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other
rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications
and terms and conditions of redemption of such stock, all as determined by the
directors.

      The Company may apply to list the Shares for trading on a national
securities exchange or to include them for quotation on Nasdaq unless the Board
of Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) deems such
listing or quotation not to be in the best interest of the Shareholders. There
can be no assurance that any such application will be accepted. If the Shares
are not listed or included for quotation, the Properties generally will be
liquidated beginning five to ten years after the net proceeds of the Offering
are substantially invested. In making the decision to apply for listing of the
Shares, the Board will try to determine whether listing the Shares or
liquidating the Company will result in greater value for the Shareholders. Even
if the Shares are not so listed or included for quotation, the Company is under
no obligation to liquidate its portfolio within such period since the precise
timing will depend on real estate and financial markets, economic conditions of
the areas in which the Properties are located and 
<PAGE>   81
Federal income tax effects on Shareholders which may prevail in the future.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
liquidate its portfolio and it should be noted that the Company will continue
its existence until all of its Properties are sold and its other assets are
liquidated.

      The Company will not issue certificates. Shares will be held in
"uncertificated" form which will (a) eliminate the physical handling and
safekeeping responsibilities inherent in owning transferable stock certificates,
and (b) eliminate the need to return a duly executed stock certificate to the
transfer agent to effect a transfer. Transfers can be effected simply by mailing
a duly executed stock power to the Company. Upon the issuance of its Shares, the
Company shall send to each Shareholder a written statement which will include
all information that is required to be written upon stock certificates under
Maryland law.

MEETINGS AND SPECIAL VOTING REQUIREMENTS

      An annual meeting of the Shareholders will be held each year, not fewer
than 30 days after delivery of the Annual Report of the Company. Special
meetings of Shareholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of
the directors, a majority of the Independent Directors, the Chairman, the
President or upon the written request of Shareholders entitled to cast at least
10% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. In general, the
presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding Shares,
exclusive of Excess Shares, shall constitute a quorum. Generally, the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be voted at a meeting at
which a quorum is present is necessary to take Shareholder action, except that a
plurality of all votes cast at such a meeting is sufficient to elect a director.

      The Company's Charter may be amended by a majority of the Board of
Directors (including a majority of the Independent Directors) and approval of a
majority of the Company's stockholders at a duly held meeting at which a quorum
is present. Charter amendments affecting the provisions on indemnification of
directors and officers, limitation of personal liability of directors and
officers, and limitation on ownership of shares of the Company, must be approved
by a vote of two-thirds of the Company's Stockholders. In general, the Company's
Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the Company's stockholders. The
Ownership Limit may only be amended by a two-thirds majority vote of all
outstanding Shares. Any amendment to the Bylaws that would reduce the priority
of payment or the amount payable to the Shareholders upon liquidation of the
Company or that would diminish or eliminate any voting rights require the
approval of a two-thirds majority of Shares entitled to vote. Shareholders may,
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shareholders entitled to vote on
such matter, elect to remove a director from the Board or dissolve the Company.
Shareholders do not have the ability to vote to replace the Advisor or to select
a new investment adviser.

      The affirmative vote of a majority of all Shares entitled to be cast is
required to approve any merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company other than in the ordinary course of business. Shareholders objecting to
the approval of any merger or sale of assets are permitted under Maryland law to
petition a court for the appraisal and payment of the fair value of their
Shares. In such an appraisal proceeding, the court appoints appraisers who
attempt to determine the fair value of the stock as of the date of the
shareholder vote on the merger or sale of assets. The appraisers' report is
considered by the court which (i) makes the final determination of the fair
value to be paid to the Shareholder and (ii) decides whether the award of
interest from the date of the merger or sale of assets and costs of the
proceeding are to be awarded to the dissenting Shareholder.

      Shareholders are entitled to receive a copy of the Company's Shareholder
list upon request provided that the requesting Shareholder represents to the
Company that the list will not be used to pursue commercial interests. The list
provided by the Company will include the name, address and telephone number (if
available) of, and number of Shares owned by, each Shareholder and will be in
alphabetical order, on white paper and in easily readable type size and will be
sent within ten days of the receipt by the Company of the request (or five days
if the Shareholder first requests a copy of the representation and returns it to
the Company within 30 days). A Shareholder requesting a list will be required to
pay the Company's reasonable cost 
<PAGE>   82
of postage and duplication. The Company will pay the costs incurred and any
actual damages suffered by a Shareholder who must compel the production of a
list and is successful. Any Shareholder who breaches the terms of the
representation provided to the Company will be liable to the Company for any
costs or damages resulting from such breach. The list will be updated at least
quarterly to reflect changes in the information contained therein.

      The rights of Shareholders described above are in addition to and do not
adversely affect rights provided to investors under Rule 14a-7 promulgated under
the Exchange Act, which provides that, upon request of investors and the payment
of the expenses of the distribution, the Company is required to distribute
certain materials to Shareholders in the context of the solicitation of proxies
for voting on matters presented to Shareholders, or, at the option of the
Company, provide requesting Shareholders with a copy of the list of Shareholders
so that the requesting Shareholders may make the distribution themselves.

RESTRICTION ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

      In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, not more than 50% of its
outstanding Shares may be owned by any five or fewer individuals (including
certain tax-exempt entities) during the last half of each taxable year of the
Company, and the outstanding Shares must be owned by 100 or more Persons
independent of the Company and each other during at least 335 days of a 12-month
taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year for which
an election to be treated as a REIT is made. The Company, therefore, may
prohibit certain acquisitions and transfers of Shares so as to facilitate the
Company's continued qualification as a REIT under the Code. However, there can
be no assurance that such prohibition will be effective.

      The Articles of Incorporation, in order to assist the Board in preserving
the Company's status as a REIT, contain an Ownership Limit which prohibits any
Person or group of Persons from acquiring, directly or indirectly, Beneficial
Ownership of more than 9.8% of the outstanding Shares. Shares owned by a Person
or a group of Persons in excess of the Ownership Limit are deemed "Excess
Shares." Shares owned by a Person who individually owns of record less than 9.8%
of outstanding Shares may nevertheless be Excess Shares if such Person is deemed
part of a group for purposes of this restriction.

      The Articles of Incorporation stipulate that any purported issuance or
transfer of Shares shall be valid only with respect to those Shares that do not
result in the transferee-Shareholder owning Shares in excess of the Ownership
Limit. If the transferee-Shareholder acquires Excess Shares, such Person is
considered to have acted as an agent for the Company and holds such Excess
Shares on behalf of the ultimate Shareholder.

      The Ownership Limit does not apply to offerors which, in accordance with
applicable Federal and state securities laws, make a cash tender offer, where at
least 85% of the outstanding Shares (not including Shares or subsequently issued
securities convertible into common stock which are held by the tender offeror
and/or any "affiliates" or "associates" thereof within the meaning of the
Exchange Act) are duly tendered and accepted pursuant to the cash tender offer.
The Ownership Limit also does not apply to the underwriter in a public offering
of the Shares. The Ownership Limit does not apply to a Person or Persons which
the directors so exempt from the Ownership Limit upon appropriate assurances
that the Company's qualification as a REIT is not jeopardized.

      If the Company has 2,000 or more stockholders, all Persons who own 5% or
more of the outstanding Shares (or 1% or more if the Company has more than 200
but fewer than 2,000 Shareholders) during any taxable year will be asked by the
Company to deliver a statement or affidavit setting forth the number of Shares
Beneficially Owned, directly or indirectly, by such Persons. See "Income Tax
Aspects--Statement of Stock Ownership."
<PAGE>   83
DIVIDENDS

      The Company intends to declare Dividends before each issuance of Shares
during the Offering and on a quarterly basis. Dividends will be paid to
investors who are Shareholders as of the record date selected by the directors.
Dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis regardless of the frequency with
which such Dividends are declared. The Company is required to distribute
annually its Distributable REIT Taxable Income to comply with the REIT
Provisions. Generally, income distributed as Dividends will not be taxable to
the Company under Federal income tax laws unless the Company fails to comply
with the REIT Provisions.

      Dividends will be paid at the discretion of the directors, in accordance
with the earnings, cash flow and general financial condition of the Company. The
directors' discretion will be directed, in substantial part, by their obligation
to cause the Company to comply with the REIT Provisions. Because the Company may
receive income from interest or rents at various times during its fiscal year,
Dividends may not reflect income earned by the Company in that particular
Dividend period but may be made in anticipation of cash flow which the Company
expects to receive during a later quarter and may be made in advance of actual
receipt in an attempt to make distributions relatively uniform. The Company can
borrow to make distributions if the borrowing is necessary to maintain the
Company's REIT status or if the borrowing is part of a liquidation strategy to
partially or completely liquidate investments in Properties by borrowing against
those Properties.

      The Company is not prohibited from distributing its own securities in lieu
of making cash distributions to Shareholders, provided that such securities
distributed to Shareholders are readily marketable. Shareholders who receive
marketable securities in lieu of cash distributions may incur transaction
expenses in liquidating such securities.

REPURCHASE OF SHARES

      The Company has the authority to redeem Excess Shares immediately upon
becoming aware of existence of such Excess Shares or after giving the Person in
whose hands such Shares are Excess Shares 30 days to transfer such Excess Shares
to a Person whose ownership of such Shares would not exceed the Ownership Limit
and, therefore, would no longer be considered Excess Shares. The price paid upon
redemption by the Company shall be the lesser of the price paid for such Excess
Shares by the Shareholder in whose possession the redeemed Shares were formerly
Excess Shares or the fair market value of the Excess Shares. The Company may
purchase Excess Shares or otherwise repurchase Shares if such repurchase does
not impair the capital or operations of the Company.

      The Sponsor, Advisor and their Affiliates may not receive a fee on the
purchase of Shares by the Company.
<PAGE>   84
REDEMPTION OF SHARES

      After the termination of the Offering and prior to such time, if any, as
the Shares are listed on a national securities market, any stockholder (other
than the Advisor) that has held his or her Shares for at least one year may
present all or any portion of such stockholder's Shares to the Company for
redemption at any time, in accordance with the procedures outlined herein. At
such time, the Company may, at its option, subject to the conditions described
below, redeem such Shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent it has
sufficient funds available, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole
discretion. There is no assurance that there will be sufficient funds available
for redemption and, accordingly, a stockholder's Shares may not be redeemed.

      The Board of Directors will determine on a quarterly basis whether the
Company has sufficient excess cash to repurchase Shares. Shareholders may offer
Shares to the Company for purchase and the Company will purchase the offered
Shares if it has sufficient cash. The Company will impose a surrender charge on
repurchased shares in accordance with the following schedule:


   
<TABLE>

            7   years                           8% of Redemption Price
            8   years                           7% of Redemption Price
            9   years                           6% of Redemption Price
            10  years                           5% of Redemption Price
            11 years or more                    4% of Redemption Price
</TABLE>
    

      The Redemption Price, for purposes of calculating the purchase price,
shall be the lesser of (i) $10 per share and (ii) the Net Asset Value per Share
as determined by appraisals performed by an independent third party after
[DECEMBER 31, 2002]. The Board of Directors reserves the right to adjust the Net
Asset Value on a quarterly basis to account for significant capital
transactions.

      If the Company has sufficient funds to purchase some but not all of the
shares offered, the Shareholders holding their Shares for the longest amount of
time will be given priority. The Company will only be able to repurchase shares
if it maintains a currently effective registration statement. While the Company
intends to maintain an effective registration statement, there can be no
assurance that it will be able to do so. Furthermore, there can be no assurance
that the Company will have sufficient funds to repurchase any Shares.

      A stockholder who wishes to have his or her Shares redeemed must mail or
deliver a written request on a form provided by the Company and executed by the
stockholder, its trustee or authorized agent, to the Company. Within 30 days
following the Company's receipt of the stockholder's request, the Company will
forward to such stockholder the documents necessary to effect the redemption,
including any signature guarantee the Company may require. Any redemption to be
completed by the Company will be completed for a calendar quarter provided that
the Company receives the properly completed redemption documents relating to the
Shares to be redeemed from the stockholder at least one calendar month prior to
the last day of the current calendar quarter and has sufficient funds to redeem
such Shares. The effective date of any redemption will be the last date during a
quarter during which the Company receives the properly completed redemption
documents. As a result, the Company anticipates that, assuming sufficient funds,
the effective date of redemptions will be no later than thirty days after the
quarterly determination of the availability of funds.

      A stockholder may present fewer than all his or her Shares to the Company
for redemption, provided, however, that if such stockholder retains any Shares,
he or she must retain at least 250 Shares (200 Shares for an IRA, Keogh Plan or
pension plan). 
<PAGE>   85
Shares transferred by reason of death will be deemed to have been held from the
time the Shares were first acquired.

      The Directors, in their sole discretion, may amend or suspend the
redemption plan at any time they determine that such amendment or suspension is
in the best interest of the Company. The Directors may suspend the redemption of
Shares if (i) they determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption
impairs the capital or the operations of the Company; (ii) they determine, in
their sole discretion, that an emergency makes such redemption not reasonably
practical; (iii) any governmental or regulatory agency with jurisdiction over
the Company so demands for the protection of the stockholders; (iv) they
determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption would be unlawful; or
(v) they determine, in their sole discretion, that such redemption, when
considered with all other redemptions, sales, assignments, transfers and
exchanges of Shares in the Company, could cause direct or indirect ownership of
Shares of the Company to become concentrated to an extent which would prevent
the Company from qualifying as a REIT under the Code. For a discussion of the
tax treatment of such redemptions, see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of Stockholders."

RESTRICTIONS ON ROLL-UP TRANSACTIONS

      In connection with any proposed transaction (as further defined in "The
Glossary," a "Roll-up Transaction") involving the acquisition, merger,
conversion or consolidation, directly or indirectly, of the Company and the
issuance of securities of an entity (a "Roll-up Entity") that would be created
or would survive after the successful completion of the Roll-up Transaction, an
appraisal of all Properties shall be obtained from a competent Independent
Appraiser. The Properties shall be appraised on a consistent basis, and the
appraisal shall be based on the evaluation of all relevant information and shall
indicate the value of the Properties as of a date immediately prior to the
announcement of the proposed Roll-up Transaction. The appraisal shall assume an
orderly liquidation of Properties over a 12-month period. The terms of the
engagement of the Independent Appraiser shall clearly state that the engagement
is for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders. A summary of the
appraisal, indicating all material assumptions underlying the appraisal, shall
be included in a report to Shareholders in connection with a proposed Roll-up
Transaction. In connection with a proposed Roll-up Transaction, the Person
sponsoring the Roll-up Transaction shall offer to Shareholders who vote "no" on
the proposal the choice of:

            (i)  accepting the securities of a Roll-up Entity offered in the
      proposed Roll-up Transaction; or

            (ii)  one of the following:

                  (A) remaining as Shareholders of the Company and preserving
            their interests therein on the same terms and conditions as existed
            previously, or

                  (B) receiving cash in an amount equal to the Shareholder's pro
            rata share of the appraised value of the net assets of the Company.

      The Company is prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up
Transaction:

            (a) which would result in the Shareholders having democracy rights
      in a Roll-up Entity that are less than those provided in the Bylaws and
      described elsewhere in this Prospectus, including rights with respect to
      the election and removal of directors, annual reports, annual and special
      meetings, amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, and dissolution of
      the Company. See "Management," "Reports to Shareholders" and "Description
      of Shares;"

            (b) which includes provisions that would operate to materially
      impede or frustrate the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the
      securities of the Roll-up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary
      to preserve the tax status of the Roll-up Entity), or which would limit
      the ability of an investor 
<PAGE>   86
      to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-up Entity on
      the basis of the number of Shares held by that investor;

            (c) in which investor's rights to access of records of the Roll-up
      Entity will be less than those provided in the section of this Prospectus
      entitled "Description of Shares--Meetings and Special Voting
      Requirements;" or

            (d) in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be
      borne by the Company if the Roll-up Transaction is not approved by the
      Shareholders.

TRANSFER AGENT

      The transfer agent and registrar for the Shares will be Service Data
Corporation. The transfer agent's address is 2424 South 130th Circle, Omaha,
Nebraska 68144-2596, and its phone number is (800) 782-3436.


                                  THE OFFERING

      Subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Sales Agency Agreement, the Company is
offering to the public through the Sales Agent and Selected Dealers, on a best
efforts basis, a maximum of $300,000,000 of Shares of common stock consisting of
30,000,000 Shares priced at $10 per Share. The minimum subscription is 250
Shares or $2,500 (200 Shares or $2,000 for an IRA or a Keogh Plan except for
Iowa and Minnesota tax exempt investors which must make a minimum investment of
250 Shares or $2,500). See "Terms of the Offering." The Sales Agent and American
Express Financial Services, Inc. are expected to sell a significant number of
Shares.

      The Sales Agent will receive a selling commission in an amount equal to
$0.65 per Share, whether sold directly by it or by one of the Selected Dealers,
all of whom must be members in good standing of the NASD. The Sales Agent may,
in turn, reallow up to $0.60 per share of such selling commissions to Selected
Dealers for Shares they sell. The Company also will reimburse the Sales Agent
for the amount of any Selected Dealer Fee paid to Selected Dealers, which Fee
may not exceed 1% of the price of each Share sold by the Selected Dealer. The
Sales Agent has agreed to pay a Selected Dealer Fee of 1% to all Selected
Dealers and the Sales Agent will receive a Selected Dealer Fee of 1% for Shares
sold directly by the Sales Agent. In addition, the Sales Agents or Selected
Dealers, in their sole discretion, may elect not to accept any selling
commission offered by the Company for Shares that they sell. In that event, such
Shares shall be sold to the investor net of all selling commissions, at a price
per share of $9.35. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Sales Agent and
Selected Dealers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

      The Company will offer a reduced Share purchase price to "single
purchasers" on orders of more than $250,000 and selling commissions paid to the
Sales Agent and Selected Dealers will be reduced by the amount of the Share
purchase price discount. 
<PAGE>   87
The Share purchase price will be reduced for each incremental Share purchased in
the total volume ranges set forth in the table below. Such reduced Share
purchase price will not affect the amount received by the Company for
investment. The following table sets forth the reduced Share purchase price and
selling commissions payable to the Sales Agent:

</TABLE>

      Selling commissions for purchases of $5,000,000 or more will, in the sole
discretion of the Company, be reduced to $0.10 per Share or less but in no event
will the proceeds to the Company be less than $9.35 per Share. Selling
Commissions paid will in all cases be the same for the same level of sales. In
the event of a sale of $5,000,000 or more, the Company will supplement this
Prospectus to include (i) the aggregate amount of the sale, (ii) the price per
Share paid by the purchaser and (iii) a statement that other investors wishing
to purchase at least the amount described in (i) will pay no more per Share than
the initial purchaser. The Initial Investor Capital will be calculated on the
basis of $10 per Share, regardless of the price actually paid pursuant to such
reduced Share purchase prices.

      Orders may be combined for the purpose of determining the total
commissions payable with respect to applications made by a "single purchaser."
The amount of total commissions thus computed will be apportioned pro rata among
the individual orders on the basis of the respective amounts of the orders being
combined. As used herein, the term "single purchaser" will include (i) any
Person or entity, or Persons or entities, acquiring Shares as joint purchasers,
(ii) all profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts maintained by a
given corporation, partnership or other entity, (iii) all funds and foundations
maintained by a given corporation, partnership or other entity, (iv) all
profit-sharing, pension and other retirement trusts and all funds or foundations
over which a designated bank or other trustee, person or entity (except an
investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940)
exercises discretionary authority with respect to an investment in the Company,
and (v) all clients of an investment adviser registered under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 who have been advised by such adviser on an ongoing basis
regarding investments other than in the Company, and who have been advised by
such adviser regarding an investment in the Company.

      In the event a single purchaser described in categories (ii) through (v)
above wishes to have its orders so combined, such a purchaser will be required
to request such treatment in writing to the Company, which request must set
forth the basis for such discount and identify the orders to be combined. Any
such request will be subject to the verification by the Company that all of such
orders were made by a single purchaser.

      Orders also may be combined for the purpose of determining the commissions
payable in the case of orders by any purchaser described in category (i) through
(v) above who, subsequent to its initial purchase of Shares, orders additional
Shares. In such event, the commission payable with respect to the subsequent
purchase of Shares will equal the commission per Share which would have been
payable in accordance with the commission schedule set forth above if all
purchases had been made simultaneously. Any reduction of the 6% selling
commission otherwise payable to the Sales Agent or a Selected Dealer will be
credited to the purchaser as additional whole Shares. Unless investors indicate
that orders are to be combined and provide all other requested information, the
Company cannot be held responsible for failing to combine orders properly.
<PAGE>   88
      The Advisor, its Affiliates and their employees and the Selected Dealers
and their employees may purchase Shares net of selling commissions and the
Company will pay no selling commissions on such Shares. Any purchases by the
Advisor, its Affiliates and their employees and the Selected Dealers and their
employees will be for investment purposes only and not with the intent to resell
such Shares. There is no limit on the number of Shares such persons may
purchase. A maximum of 75,000 Shares purchased by the Advisor during the
Offering may be included in determining whether the Minimum Offering is
achieved. There is no limit on the number of Shares purchased by Affiliates of
the Advisor and their employees and the Selected Dealers and their employees
which may be included in determining whether the Minimum Offering is achieved.
Any resale of the 20,000 Shares currently owned by the Advisor or Shares it or
Affiliates of the Company may purchase are subject to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act, which limits the number of Shares which may be resold at any
one time and the manner of such resale.

      The Sales Agent will receive reimbursement from the Company for its
identified expenses and for identified expenses of Selected Dealers reimbursed
by the Sales Agent, including the costs of any sales and information meetings of
the employees of the Sales Agent and the Selected Dealers (to the extent the
Sales Agent reimburses the Selected Dealers for such expenses) relating to the
Offering. Subject to the satisfactory completion of any regulatory reviews and
examinations which may be required, the rules of the NASD and the prior review
and approval by the NASD and the Sales Agent, the Selected Dealers (as
appropriate), the Company, the Advisor or any of their Affiliates may establish
sales incentive programs for associated Persons of the Sales Agent or Selected
Dealers or may reimburse the Sales Agent and Selected Dealers for sales
incentive programs established by them. Sales incentives will be deemed to be
additional underwriting compensation. The aggregate value of incentives paid by
the Company and the Advisor directly to associated Persons during the Offering
will not exceed $100 per year.

      The Sales Agent or other entities will provide wholesaling services to the
Company. All entities performing wholesaling activities will be required to be
properly licensed to engage in the securities business. These services will
include developing and preparing sales material, conducting broker/dealer
seminars, holding informational meetings and providing information and answering
any questions concerning the Offering. The Company will reimburse the Sales
Agent for its identified expenses incurred in coordinating wholesaling
activities, including, but not limited to (i) travel and entertainment expenses,
(ii) compensation of employees of the Sales Agent in connection with wholesaling
activities, (iii) expenses incurred in coordinating broker-dealer seminars and
meetings, and (iv) wholesaling fees and wholesaling expense reimbursements paid
to the Sales Agent or other entities.

      In no event shall the total underwriting compensation to be paid to the
Sales Agent and Selected Dealers from any source in connection with the
Offering, including selling commissions, certain expense reimbursements and
payments to the Sales Agent and Selected Dealers for the wholesaling services
referred to above, exceed 10% of the Gross Offering Proceeds of the Offering
(plus 0.5% for bona fide due diligence expenses). The total wholesaling expenses
will not exceed 3% of the Gross Offering Proceeds. The Company and the Sales
Agent will monitor the payment of all fees and expense reimbursements, including
the Servicing Fees, to assure that this limit is not exceeded.

      In the event all Organization and Offering Expenses, other than selling
commissions, and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to or paid on behalf of the
Selected Dealers, exceed 3.5% of the Gross Offering Proceeds, the excess will be
paid by the Advisor with no recourse by or reimbursement to the Advisor. In
addition, in the event the Minimum Offering is not achieved, the Advisor will
bear the responsibility for all Organization and Offering Expenses.

      Every prospective investor desiring to purchase Shares will be required to
comply with the procedures for ordering Shares imposed by the Company, the Sales
Agent and the Selected Dealer from whom such investor intends to purchase
Shares. The Sales Agent and certain Selected Dealers will require an Order Form,
a specimen 
<PAGE>   89
of which is attached to this Prospectus, to be completed and delivered together
with a check payable to the Escrow Agent for the aggregate purchase price of the
Shares ordered. (Residents of Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan,
Missouri, Nebraska, and North Carolina must complete and execute an Order
Form.). Selected Dealers will submit such checks directly to the Escrow Agent by
noon of the business day following receipt. Certain Selected Dealers may offer
investors alternate procedures for purchasing Shares. Under the alternative
procedures, the investor must maintain an account with such Selected Dealers or
open such an account at no charge. An investor may then purchase Shares by
contacting his or her broker and indicating the amount of his or her desired
investment in Shares. If the investor has not already received a copy of this
Prospectus, the Sales Agent or Selected Dealer will forward a copy of this
Prospectus to the investor. The Sales Agent or Selected Dealer will notify the
investor that the full amount of the purchase price payment must be in the
investor's account by a specified settlement date, which shall occur within five
business days after such notice to the investor. An investor's account will be
debited by the amount of the investment on the settlement date. For investors in
all jurisdictions, by noon of the next business day following the date funds are
debited, the funds debited from the investor's account will be sent to the
Escrow Agent for deposit in the escrow account established by the Company for
the Offering. Prior to the settlement date, the investor may withdraw his order
by notifying his broker at the Sales Agent or such Selected Dealer.

      On or after the settlement date, investors will have no right to withdraw
any funds submitted to the Escrow Agent during the Offering period. The Company
has the unconditional right in its sole discretion to accept or reject any order
or any part thereof within 30 days of receipt of such order. If the Company
rejects any order or any part thereof, it will notify the investor in writing
thereof and arrange for the Escrow Agent to promptly return to the investor the
entire purchase price or portion thereof which was rejected, along with any
interest earned thereon. The Offering will not be consummated unless the Minimum
Offering is achieved. Shares will be evidenced on the books and records of the
Company, which will include a list of Shareholders' names, addresses and number
of Shares owned. An investor will not receive a Share certificate or other
evidence of his interest in the Company unless the Shares are listed on a
national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq and then only
if requested by the Shareholder.

ESCROW ARRANGEMENTS

      Commencing on the date of this Prospectus, all funds received by the Sales
Agent and Selected Dealers from orders for Shares will be placed promptly in an
interest-bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent at the Company's expense
until such funds are released as described below. Separate escrow accounts will
be established for Benefit Plan funds and all other funds. Payment for Shares
are to be sent to the Escrow Agent at The United States Trust Company of New
York, 114 West 47th Street, New York, New York 10036-1532, Attention: Pat
Stermer. Such funds will be held in trust for the benefit of investors to be
used for the purposes set forth in this Prospectus. The Escrow Agent will be
given the right to invest non-Benefit Plan funds in United States government
securities, certificates of deposit or other time or demand deposits of
commercial banks which have a net worth of at least $100,000,000 or in which
such certificates or deposits are fully insured by any Federal or state
government agency. Benefit Plan funds will be invested in a money market account
maintained by the Escrow Agent. The interest, if any, earned on escrow funds
prior to the transmittal of such proceeds to the Company will not become part of
the Company's capital. Instead, within 15 days following each issuance of
Shares, the Company will cause the Escrow Agent to make distributions to
Shareholders of all interest earned on their escrowed funds used to purchase the
Shares. The Company may, as security for borrowings made from third parties,
assign its right to receive up to 85% of the funds then held in escrow (not
including funds held on behalf of Benefit Plans).

      As soon as practicable after the Minimum Offering is achieved but in no
event more than 90 days after the Company's acceptance of orders for [1,500,000]
Shares, the Company will issue Shares to all investors whose orders have been
accepted. Following such first issuance of Shares, additional funds received by
the Company from prospective investors will continue to be placed in escrow
during the Offering and the Company will issue additional Shares periodically

                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET

1. Organization and Offering:

        Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation
(the "Company"), was formed on June 4, 1997 under the General Corporation Law
of Maryland for the purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and
owning industrial, commercial and governmental real property and personal and
mixed property connected therewith net leased to creditworthy corporations and
other creditworthy entities. Subject to certain restrictions and limitations,
the business of the Company will be managed by Carey Property Advisors (the
"Advisor").

        On June 30, 1997, the Advisor purchased 20,000 shares of common stock
("Shares") for $200,000 and was admitted as the initial shareholder of the
Company.

        A minimum of 1,500,000 and a maximum of 30,000,000 Shares are being
offered to the public (the "Offering") on a "best efforts" basis by Carey
Financial Corporation, an affiliate of the Advisor ("Carey Financial"), and
selected other dealers at a price of $10 per Share.

        The Company intends to invest the net proceeds of the Offering in
properties, as described in the prospectus of the Company (the "Prospectus").
If 1,500,000 or more Shares are sold, it is anticipated that the Company will
incur limited recourse indebtedness of approximately 60% of the purchase price
of all properties purchased, but there is no limit on borrowing on individual
properties. Subsequent to the full investment of net proceeds of the Offering,
the aggregate borrowings may not exceed the sum of 75% of the value of all
properties unless the excess is approved by a majority of the Independent
Directors (as defined in the Prospectus) and disclosed to shareholders of the
Company in the next quarterly report of the Company, along with the
justification for such excess.

        After the termination of the Offering and prior to such time, if any, as
the Shares are listed on a national securities market, any stockholder (other
than the Advisor) that has held his or her Shares for at least one year may
present all or any portion of such stockholder's Shares to the Company for
redemption at any time, in accordance with the procedures set up by the Company.
At such time, the Company may, at its option, redeem such Shares presented for
redemption for cash to the extent it has sufficient funds available, as
determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. There is no
assurance that there will be sufficient funds available for redemption and,
accordingly, a stockholder's Shares may not be redeemed.

        The Board of Directors will determine on a quarterly basis whether the
Company has sufficient excess cash to repurchase Shares. Shareholders may offer
Shares to the Company for purchase and the Company will purchase the offered
Shares if it has sufficient cash. The Company will impose a surrender charge on
repurchased shares.

2. Federal Income Taxes:

        At the earliest date possible, the Company intends to qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and
accordingly will not be subject to Federal income taxes on amounts distributed
to shareholders (except income from foreclosure property), provided it
distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to
its shareholders and meets certain other conditions.

3. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties:

        The Company has entered into an advisory agreement with Carey Property
Advisors, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, the sole general partner of which
is Carey Fiduciary Advisors, Inc., a corporation which is wholly-owned by
William P. Carey.


<PAGE>   102
        Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the Advisor will perform certain
services for the Company including the identification, evaluation, negotiation,
purchase and disposition of property, the day-to-day management of the Company
and the performance of certain administrative services. The Advisor will
receive substantial fees and compensation in connection with the Offering and
the operation of the Company, including reimbursement for organization and
offering expenses, interest on loans made to the Company, acquisition fees
payable by sellers of property or the Company, reimbursement for Company
expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Company, asset
management fees, loan refinancing fees, a subordinated disposition fee and a
subordinated incentive fee.

        The Company has entered into a sales agency agreement with Carey
Financial, whereby Carey Financial will receive a selling commission of up to
$0.60 per Share sold and certain other payments.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:


        The preparation of a balance sheet 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 balance
sheet.  Actual results can differ from those estimates.

        a. The Company will be liable for certain expenses of the Offering
described in the Prospectus, which include filing, legal, accounting, printing
and escrow fees, which are to be deducted from the gross proceeds of the
Offering. The Company will reimburse Carey Financial for expenses (including
fees and expenses of its counsel) and for the costs of any sales and
information meetings of Carey Financial's employees relating to the Offering.
The Company, the Advisor or affiliates of the Advisor may provide sales
incentive programs directly to employees of Carey Financial and other dealers
in compliance with the requirements of the Rules of Fair Practice of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., which incentives, in no
event, shall exceed in any year an aggregate amount of $100 per participating
salesman. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and other
dealers in connection with the Offering shall not exceed 10% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering plus an additional 0.5% of such gross proceeds for
bona fide due diligence expenses. The Advisor has agreed to be responsible for
the repayment of (i) organization and offering expenses (excluding selling
commissions to Carey Financial with respect to Shares held by clients of it
and selected dealers and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers)
which exceed 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and (ii) organization
and offering expenses (including selling commissions, fees and fees paid and
expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) which exceed 15% of the gross proceeds
of the Offering.

        b. If at any time the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay the
equity portion of the purchase price of any property normally paid with
Offering proceeds, but would have if it could use Offering proceeds being held
in escrow, funds may be borrowed from affiliates of the Advisor or from third
parties on a short-term basis which would be repaid by the Company at the time
of or subsequent to the release of funds from escrow. At any time, the Company
may borrow funds from affiliates of either the Advisor or third parties on a
short-term basis to provide the debt portion of the purchase price of any
property if (i) the Company is unable to obtain a permanent loan or, in the
judgment of the Company or the Advisor, it is not in the best interests of the
Company to obtain a permanent loan at the interest rates then prevailing and
(ii) the Advisor has reason to believe that the Company will be able to obtain
a permanent loan on or prior to the end of the loan term. Any such short-term
loans may be fully or partially amortized, may provide for the payment of
interest only during the term of the loan or may provide for the payment of
principal and interest only upon maturity. In addition, such loans may be
collateralized by a first or junior mortgage on the property to be acquired or
by a pledge of or security interest in the net proceeds to be received by the
Company from the sale of Shares. Interest on any of the above-described loans
will be paid at the rate of the lesser of: (a) 1% above the prime rate of
interest charged by The Bank of New York or (b) the rate that would be charged
to the Company by unrelated lending institutions on comparable loans for the
same purpose in the locality of the property.

        c. The Advisor has informed the Company that in the event the minimum
Offering is not achieved, the Advisor will bear responsibility for all
organization and offering expenses of the Company (including underwriters'
expenses).

                            PRIOR PERFORMANCE TABLES

      The information presented in the following tables represents the
historical experience of the CPA(R) Programs for which the Affiliates of the
Advisor of the Company serve as general partners and the record of CPA(R)
Programs in meeting their investment objectives. These tables should be
carefully reviewed by a potential investor in considering an investment in the
Company. These tables are as follows:

      Table I--Experience in Raising and Investing Funds (on a percentage basis)
      Table II--Compensation to Sponsor
      Table III--Operating Results of Prior Programs
      Table V--Sales or Dispositions of Properties

      Persons who purchase Shares in the Company will not thereby acquire any
ownership interest in any of the CPA(R) Programs to which these tables relate.
It should not be assumed that investors in the Company will experience results
comparable to those experienced by investors in the CPA(R) Programs. See "Prior
Offerings by Affiliates" elsewhere in this Prospectus.

      The investment objectives of the Company and CPA(R) Programs are similar.

      Additional information regarding prior public CPA(R) Programs can be
obtained from the Advisor by written request for a copy of the most recent
Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC or a copy of Table VI--Acquisition
of Real Properties by Prior Public Programs included in Part II of the
Registration Statement to which this Prospectus relates, free of charge.

      The following terms used throughout the Prior Performance Tables are
defined below:

            "Total acquisition cost" means the original mortgage financing at
      date of purpose, cash payments (equity), and prepaid items and fees
      related to purchase of property.

            "GAAP" means generally accepted accounting principles.

            "Cash generated from operations" means the excess or deficiency of
      partnership operating cash receipts including interest on short-term
      investments over partnership operating case expenditures.

(7) For the years up to and including 1985, the figures for cash generated from
    operations were derived from the Statements of Changes in Financial
    Position, whereas for the years after 1985, the figures were derived from
    the Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with SFAS, No. 95. In determining
    Cash from Operations pursuant to the Statement of Cash Flows, the effects of
    changes primarily in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets are
    taken into account but other items such as principal amortization of loans
    are not included. Cash from operations pursuant to the Statement of Changes
    in Financial Position includes the effect of loan amortization, but excludes
    the effects of changes in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets.
 
(8) To the extent "cash distribution to investors from operating cash flow"
    exceeds "cash generated from operations" in any given year, such excess
    represents the distribution of cash generated from partnership operations in
    prior years that has not previously been distributed.
 
                                     NOTES

(1) Results from the sale of 3,441 square feet of land net leased to G.D. Searle
    & Co. and sale of the property net leased to General Refractories Company.
 
(2) Represents unamortized balance of deferred charges in connection with
    refinancing of mortgage loans on properties leased to Heekin Can Inc., Paper
    Corporation of America and Gibson Greeting Cards, Inc.
 
(3) For the years up to and including 1985, the figures for cash generated from
    operations were derived from the Statements of Changes in Financial
    Position, whereas for the years after 1985, the figures were derived from
    the Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with SFAS No. 95. In determining
    Cash from Operations pursuant to the Statement of Cash Flows, the effects of
    changes primarily in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets are
    taken into account but other items such as principal amortization of loans
    are not included. Cash from operations pursuant to the Statement of Changes
    in Financial Position includes the effect of loan amortization, but excludes
    the effects of changes in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets.
 
(4) To the extent "cash distribution to investors from operating cash flow"
    exceeds "cash generated from operations" in any given year, such excess
    represents the distribution of cash generated from partnership operations in
    prior years that has not previously been distributed.
 
(5) Results from the sale of properties leased to Heekin Can, Inc.

     and Knudsen Corporation.

     refinancing of mortgage loan on property net leased to Gibson Greeting
     Cards, Inc. and pay-off of mortgage loan on property net leased to The

 (3) For the years up to and including 1985, the figures for cash generated from
     operations were derived from the Statements of Changes in Financial
     Position, whereas for the years after 1985, the figures were derived from
     the Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with SFAS. No. 95. In
     determining Cash from Operations pursuant to the Statement of Cash Flows,
     the effects of changes primarily in accrued liabilities, receivables and
     other assets are taken into account but other items such as principal
     amortization of loans are not included. Cash from operations pursuant to
     the Statement of Changes in Financial Position includes the effect of loan
     amortization, but excludes the effects of changes in accrued liabilities,
     receivables and other assets.

     of changes primarily in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets
     are taken into account, but other items such as principal amortization of
     loans are not included. Cash from operations pursuant to the Statement of
     Changes in Financial Position includes the effect of loan amortization, but

                                   FOOTNOTES
 
(1) Represents acquisition of hotel operations for properties formerly leased to
    subsidiaries of Landmark Hotel Corporation.
 
(2) Represents unamortized balance of deferred charges in connection with the
    refinancing of the mortgage loan secured by a property leased to Martin
    Marrietta Corporation.
 
(3) Represents acquisition of hotel operations for property formerly leased to
    Integra-A Hotel and Restaurant Company.
 
(4) For the years up to and including 1985, the figures for cash generated from
    operations were derived from the Statements of Changes in Financial
    Position, whereas for the years after 1985, the figures were derived from
    the Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with SFAS No. 95. In determining
    Cash from Operations pursuant to the Statement of Cash Flows, the effects of
    changes primarily in accrued liabilities, receivables and other assets are
    taken into account, but other items such as principal amortization of loans

Item 31. Sales to Special Parties

                  None.

Item 32. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

                  On June 30, 1997 Carey Property Advisors purchased 20,000
shares of common stock of the Registrant for $200,000 cash.

                  Since the transaction described above was not considered to
have involved a "public offer" within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt
from registration under said Act. The recipient of shares in the Registrant in
the foregoing transaction represented that such interests were being acquired by
it for the purposes of investment and not with a view to the distribution
thereof.

Item 33. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

                  Indemnification is provided for in Article VI of the Articles
of Incorporation of the Registrant and in Article X of the Bylaws of the
Registrant, and such provisions are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 34. Treatment of Proceeds from Stock Being Registered.

                  Not Applicable.

(1) Filed with Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Commission on
    July 16, 1997. (333-31437)


Item 36. Undertakings.

        (a) Registrant undertakes (1) to file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section (10)(a)(3) of the
Securities Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the 


<PAGE>   145


Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at this time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; (3) that all post-effective amendments will comply
with the applicable forms, rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission in effect at the time such post-effective amendments are filed; and
(4) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

        (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of Registrant pursuant to foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, Registrant unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, will submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

        (c) Registrant undertakes to file a sticker supplement pursuant to rule
424(c) under the Securities Act during the distribution period describing each
Property not identified in the Prospectus at such time as there arises a
reasonable probability that such Property will be acquired and to consolidate
all such stickers into a post-effective amendment filed at least once every
three months, with the information contained in such amendment provided
simultaneously to the existing Shareholders if such information has not
previously been provided. Each sticker supplement should disclose all
compensation and fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates in connection
with any such acquisition. The post-effective amendment shall include audited
financial statements meeting the requirements of Rule 3-14 or Regulation S-X
only for properties acquired during the distribution period, if appropriate.

Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated

New York, New York  10020

Gentlemen:

   
          You have requested our opinions with respect to certain Federal income
tax matters in connection with the proposed Offering of 30,000,000 shares of
common stock (the "Shares") of Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated, a
Maryland corporation (the "Company"), as a more fully described in the
Registration Statement on Form S-11, Registration 333-31437 ("Registration
Statement"), and the Prospectus included therein, filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. All terms used herein have the respective
meanings set forth in the Prospectus.
    

   
          We have acted as counsel to the Company with respect to the Offering
of Shares. This letter is for delivery in connection with the proposed Offering
of Shares made by the Prospectus and is intended to be read in conjunction with
the "Opinion of Counsel" subsection of the Registration Statement to confirm as
of the date hereof certain opinions described in the "Income Tax Aspects"
section of the Prospectus. This letter and the opinions expressed or confirmed
herein are for delivery to the Company and may be relied upon only by it and
those Shareholders who acquire their Shares on or before termination of the sale
of Shares under the Registration Statement.
    

          In rendering our opinions, we have reviewed and relied upon the
Registration Statement and exhibits to the Registration Statement, including the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended. In addition, we have
relieved upon the letter from the Advisor and the Company to this firm, dated
June __, 1997 representing the truth and accuracy of the representations
attributed to them in the Prospectus, we have had discussions with executive
personnel of the Advisor, and we have examined and relied upon such records,
documents, certificates, instructions, resolutions, and other matters which, in
our judgment, were necessary in order to enable us to render the opinions herein
set forth.

          Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
under Federal income tax laws as of the date hereof:

          (1) Assuming that the Company: (a) operates in the manner described in
the Registration Statement, (b) operates in accordance with the representations
therein, and (c) will have at least 100 Shareholders and will not be closely
held, its method of operation permits it to meet the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code;

          (2) Dividends paid by the Company should not constitute UBTI under
Section 512 of the Code to a tax-exempt Shareholder which is an organization
that satisfies the requirements of section 401(a) of the Code; an IRA; or any
other tax-exempt organization which is required to account for UBTI (if any) in
accordance with Section 512(a)(1) of the Code (which does not include an
organization described in paragraphs (7), (9), (17) or (20) of Section 501(c) of
the Code or a corporation described in Section 501(c)(2) of the Code benefiting
such organizations) even if the Company owns debt-financed property as that term
is defined in Section 514(b) of the Code provided that (a) such tax-exempt
Shareholder does not incur any acquisition indebtedness in connection with its
Shares and (b) the Company is not a pension-held REIT; and

          (3) The section of the Registration Statement entitled "Income Tax
Aspects" accurately reflects, in the aggregate, the state of Federal income tax
law and addresses, in relation to the facts, the material Federal income tax
issues with respect to which there exists a reasonable likelihood of challenge
by the IRS.

          With respect to our opinion contained in paragraph (1) above, you
should note that actual qualification of the Company as a REIT will depend upon
the Company's ability, through its actual operations, to meet the various
qualification tests imposed by the Code and that no prediction as to those
actual operating results is implied by our opinion. You should also be aware
that our opinion relates only to matters of Federal income tax law. While there
are a variety of state and local tax laws which could apply to the Company
and/or its Shareholders, our opinion does not purport to address the effect of
any such laws.

          Our opinions and the analysis set forth above are based upon the
existing provisions of the Code, regulations promulgated thereunder, existing
published revenue rulings, procedures and releases issued by the IRS and
relevant judicial decisions, any of which could be changed at any time. Any such
changes may be retroactive with respect to transactions entered into prior to
the date of such changes and, therefore, could require a modification of our
opinions. You should also note that Congress from time to time has directed its
attention toward reforming Subchapter C of the Code, which includes the
framework for all corporations. It is possible that any legislative proposals
will address the taxation of certain corporations, such as REITs and regulated
investment companies, which are treated differently under the Code from regular
corporations. Additionally, the Subcommittee on Oversight of the House Ways and
Means Committee has recently conducted hearings on various facets of the tax
imposed on the UBTI of otherwise tax-exempt entities. The IRS currently is
conducting a special study of compliance with the unrelated business income tax
which may or may not result in legislative or regulatory changes affecting
tax-exempt Shareholders of the Company.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8(A) to the
Registration Statement and to the references to Reed Smith Shaw & McClay in the
Registration Statement and in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration
Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        REED SMITH SHAW & McCLAY

We consent to the inclusion in this Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
