Year-End 2007

These programs were originally offered at $10 per share.

For additional information regarding the calculation of the estimated NAVs, please see the Form 8-K filed for CPA:15 on March 4, 2008 and those filed for CPA:14 and CPA:16 - Global on March 10, 2008.
Commenting on the valuations, W. P. Carey President and CEO Gordon DuGan stated, "We are very pleased with the strong and steady performance of our diversified net lease funds for 2007. Factors that contributed to our growth in NAVs in 2007 included the benefit of investing a high portion of the funds in non-dollar denominated assets, higher rents in 2007 due to annual CPI lease indexing and amortization of the mortgage debt from the lease payments.
"We believe that our cycle-tested investment strategy is designed to perform through various phases of the economic cycle. We will keep a close watch on all of our investments as we manage through this challenging credit market. Lastly, we continue to utilize the principals of diversification and property-level financing for each of our investment portfolios in an attempt to provide investors with these steady returns."
