                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (the "Company") was formed on June
4, 1997 and has had no operations from June 4, 1997 through September 30, 1997.
Accordingly, no statements of income or cash flows have been presented. For
further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11/A dated November
8, 1997.


Note 2. Organization and Offering:

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, a
Pennsylvania limited partnership (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.

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 offering commenced November 10, 1997.

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. The Company will impose a surrender
charge on repurchased shares.

                      NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS - (CONTINUED)

Note 3. 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 shareholders and meets
other conditions.


Note 4. 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.

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.


Note 5. 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.

                      NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS - (CONTINUED)

         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 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).

                 Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

         On November 10, 1997, the Company commenced a public offering of a
minimum of 1,500,000 and a maximum of 30,000,000 shares of common stock at $10
per share on a "best efforts" basis. Prior to the commencement of the offering,
the Company's Advisor purchased 20,000 shares for $200,000. The Company intends
to use the net offering proceeds to purchase industrial and commercial real
estate properties. The capital required to purchase any property will be
obtained from offering proceeds and any mortgage financing obtained in
connection with the acquisition of properties. It is anticipated that the
Company will incur limited recourse indebtedness of approximately 60% of the
purchase price of all properties. Generally, a transaction is expected to be
structured so that properties will be leased to one lessee deemed to be
creditworthy by the Company's Advisor under a lease that will, in most cases,
require the lessee to pay all of the costs of maintenance, insurance and real
estate taxes. Approximately 86% of the total amount of the funds raised in the
offering is expected to be used to purchase real estate with the balance of the
funds used to establish a working capital reserve and pay costs related to the
offering. The Company does not have commitments to acquire specific properties.

         The Company's primary objective is to generate an increasing cash flow
to pay quarterly dividends while building underlying value through property
appreciation. The Company intends to meet this objective by entering into
long-term net leases with corporate lessees. The Company expects leases
negotiated by the Advisor to include rent escalations which are either fixed or
based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index. Under a net lease, lessees are
generally required to pay all operating expenses related to the leased property,
thereby limiting the Company's exposure to the effects of increases in real
estate taxes, property maintenance and insurance costs. The Advisor intends to
negotiate lease covenants which serve to protect its lessor's interest in the
event of a lessee's reorganization or restructuring. While there is no assurance
that the Company will realize its objective, Management believes that its
ability to structure leases with rent escalations and protective covenants is a
key to meeting the Company's objective.

         As of December 22, 1997, the Company had not yet issued any shares
pursuant to the offering and had no operating history.
