Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in Item 2 of Part I of this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding capital markets, tenant credit quality, general economic overview, our expected range of Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, our corporate strategy, our capital structure, our portfolio lease terms, our international exposure and acquisition volume, our expectations about tenant bankruptcies and interest coverage, statements regarding estimated or future economic performance and results, including our underlying assumptions, occupancy rate, credit ratings, and possible new acquisitions by us and our investment management programs, the Managed REITs discussed herein, including their earnings, statements that we make regarding our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, the amount and timing of any future dividends, our existing or future leverage and debt service obligations, our ability to sell shares under our “at the market” program and the use of any such proceeds from that program, our future prospects for growth, our projected assets under management, our future capital expenditure levels, our historical and anticipated funds from operations, our future financing transactions, our estimates of growth, and our plans to fund our future liquidity needs. These statements are based on the current expectations of our management. It is important to note that our actual results could be materially different from those projected in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, AFFO, and prospects. You should exercise caution in relying on forward-looking statements as they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may materially affect our future results, performance, achievements or transactions. Information on factors that could impact actual results and cause them to differ from what is anticipated in the forward-looking statements contained herein is included in this Report as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including but not limited to those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, as amended by a Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 17, 2015, or the 2014 Annual Report, and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 as filed with the SEC on May 18, 2015. Moreover, because we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks are likely to emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, potential investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a prediction of future results, which speak only as of the date of this Report, unless noted otherwise. Except as required by federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake to revise or update any forward-looking statements.

All references to “Notes” throughout the document refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements of the registrant in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited).

W. P. CAREY INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Business and Organization

W. P. Carey Inc., or W. P. Carey, is, together with its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, a REIT that provides long-term financing via sale-leaseback and build-to-suit transactions for companies worldwide and manages a global investment portfolio. We invest primarily in commercial properties domestically and internationally. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which generally requires each tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Through our taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, we also earn revenue as the advisor to publicly-owned, non-listed REITs, which are sponsored by us under the Corporate Property Associates, or CPA^®,brand name that invest in similar properties. At June 30, 2015, we were the advisor to Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global. We were also the advisor to Corporate Property Associates 16 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:16 – Global, until its merger with us on January 31, 2014. We refer to CPA^®:16 – Global, CPA^®:17 – Global, and CPA^®:18 – Global together as the CPA^® REITs. At June 30, 2015, we were also the advisor to Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI (which we also refer to as CWI 1), and Carey Watermark Investors 2 Incorporated, or CWI 2, two publicly-owned, non-listed REITs that invest in lodging and lodging-related properties. We refer to CWI and CWI 2 as the CWI REITs, and, together with the CPA^® REITs, as the Managed REITs (Note 5). We have also invested in Carey Credit Income Fund, or CCIF, a newly formed business development company, or BDC (Note 8), with a third-party investment partner, that is the master fund in a master/feeder fund structure.

In September 2014, we filed two registration statements on Form N-2, as amended, with the SEC regarding the organization of two feeder funds that are affiliated with CCIF. The registration statements enable each of the newly organized feeder funds to sell common shares up to $1.0 billion each and to invest that equity capital into CCIF. The advisor to CCIF is wholly owned by us. We refer to CCIF and the two feeder funds collectively as the Managed BDCs and, together with the Managed REITs, as the Managed Programs. The registration statements were declared effective by the SEC in July 2015.

Originally founded in 1973, we reorganized as a REIT in September 2012 in connection with our merger with Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated. We refer to that merger as the CPA^®:15 Merger. Our shares of common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPC.”

On January 31, 2014, CPA^®:16 – Global merged with and into us based on a merger agreement, dated as of July 25, 2013 (Note 4), which we refer to as the CPA^®:16 Merger.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are not generally subject to United States federal income taxation other than from our TRSs as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income and the level of our distributions, as well as other factors. We hold all of our real estate assets attributable to our Real Estate Ownership segment under the REIT structure, while the activities conducted by our Investment Management segment subsidiaries have been organized under TRSs.

Reportable Segments

Real Estate Ownership — We own and invest in commercial properties principally in the United States, Europe, and Asia that are then leased to companies, primarily on a triple-net lease basis. We have also invested in several operating properties, such as lodging and self-storage properties. We earn lease revenues from our wholly-owned and co-owned real estate investments that we control. In addition, we generate equity income through co-owned real estate investments that we do not control and through our ownership of shares of the Managed REITs (Note 8). Through our special member interests in the operating partnerships of the Managed REITs, we also participate in their cash flows (Note 5). At June 30, 2015, our owned portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 852 properties, substantially all of which were net leased to 217 tenants, with an occupancy rate of 98.6%, and totaled approximately 89.3 million square feet.

Investment Management — Through our TRSs, we structure and negotiate investments and debt placement transactions for the Managed REITs, for which we earn structuring revenue, and manage their portfolios of real estate investments, for which we earn asset-based management revenue. We earn disposition revenue when we negotiate and structure the sale of properties on behalf of the Managed REITs, and we may also earn incentive revenue and receive other compensation in connection with providing liquidity events for the Managed REITs’ stockholders. At June 30, 2015, CPA^®:17 – Global and CPA^®:18 – Global collectively owned all or a portion of 422 properties, including certain properties in which we have an ownership interest.



	W. P. Carey 6/30/2015 10-Q – 8

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Substantially all of these properties, totaling approximately 47.3 million square feet, were net leased to 192 tenants, with an average occupancy rate of approximately 99.9%. The Managed REITs also had interests in 149 operating properties for an aggregate of approximately 17.1 million square feet at June 30, 2015. We have begun to explore alternatives for expanding our investment management operations by raising funds beyond advising the existing Managed REITs. Any such expansion could involve the purchase of properties or other investments as principal, either for our owned portfolio or with the intention of transferring such investments to a newly-created fund, as well as the sponsorship of one or more funds to make investments other than primarily net lease investments, such as the CWI REITs and the Managed BDCs. These new funds could invest primarily in assets other than net-lease real estate and could include funds raised through private placements or publicly-traded vehicles, either in the United States or internationally.

Note 2. Revisions of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

During the second quarter of 2015, we identified errors in the March 31, 2015 interim consolidated financial statements related to the calculation of foreign currency translation of the assets and liabilities of a foreign investment acquired in January 2015 and the presentation of certain foreign currency losses within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We evaluated the impact on the previously issued financial statements and concluded that these errors were not material to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. However, in order to correctly present such foreign currency translation and certain foreign currency losses, we will revise the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 when such statements are presented in our future public filings. The interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2015, are not impacted by these adjustments.

If the correct foreign currency translation adjustments had been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015, Total assets and Total liabilities and equity each would have been higher by $17.6 million, comprised of increases in Real estate, at cost of $14.8 million and In-place lease intangibles of $2.8 million with a corresponding increase of $0.3 million in Below-market rent and other intangible liabilities, net and a $17.3 million decrease in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of equity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, Other comprehensive loss, Comprehensive loss and Comprehensive loss attributable to W. P. Carey within the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss each would have been reduced by $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In addition, if foreign currency losses had been properly presented within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015, Net cash provided by operating activities for that period would have increased by $13.6 million with a corresponding decrease to the Effect of exchange rate changes on cash.

The revisions described above had no effect on our cash balances or liquidity as of March 31, 2015, the consolidated statements of income or basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Note 3. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented in this Report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included in the 2014 Annual Report, as certain disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in the audited consolidated financial statements have not been included in this Report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



	W. P. Carey 6/30/2015 10-Q – 9

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements reflect all of our accounts, including those of our controlled subsidiaries and our tenancy-in-common interests as described below. The portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us is presented as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

We have an investment in a tenancy-in-common interest in various underlying international properties. Consolidation of this investment is not required as such interest does not qualify as a VIE and does not meet the control requirement for consolidation. Accordingly, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. We use the equity method of accounting because the shared decision-making involved in a tenancy-in-common interest investment provides us with significant influence on the operating and financial decisions of this investment. We also have certain investments in wholly-owned tenancy-in-common interests, which we now consolidate after we obtained the remaining interests in the CPA^®:16 Merger.

At June 30, 2015, we had 18 VIEs. We apply accounting guidance for consolidation of VIEs to certain entities in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. Fixed price purchase and renewal options within a lease as well as certain decision-making rights within a loan can cause us to consider an entity a VIE.

Additionally, we own interests in single-tenant, net-leased properties leased to companies through noncontrolling interests in partnerships and limited liability companies that we do not control but over which we exercise significant influence. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting. At times, the carrying value of our equity investments may fall below zero for certain investments. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. At June 30, 2015, none of our equity investments had carrying values below zero.

In June 2014, CWI 2 filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to sell up to $1.0 billion of common stock in an initial public offering plus up to an additional $400.0 million of its common stock under a distribution reinvestment plan. In January 2015, CWI 2 amended the registration statement to increase the offering size to $1.4 billion of its class A common stock plus up to an additional $600.0 million of its class A common stock through its distribution reinvestment plan. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 9, 2015. An amended registration statement adding the class T common stock was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2015, so that the offering amounts noted can be in any combination of class A or class T shares. Through May 15, 2015, the financial activity of CWI 2 was included in our consolidated financial statements. On May 15, 2015, upon CWI 2 reaching its minimum offering proceeds and admitting new stockholders, we deconsolidated CWI 2 and began to account for our interest in it under the equity method. The deconsolidation did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The consolidated financial statements included in this Report have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the disposition of certain properties as discontinued operations and certain measurement period adjustments related to purchase accounting for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Requirements

The following Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board are applicable to us:

ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs, which are currently recognized as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) and requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial statements.



	W. P. Carey 6/30/2015 10-Q – 10

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to our lease revenues, but will apply to reimbursed tenant costs and revenues generated from our operating properties and our Investment Management business. Additionally, this guidance modifies disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a proposed ASU to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of the new revenue standard for all entities by one year and directed the staff to draft a final ASU for vote by written ballot. Upon issuance of the final ASU deferring the effective date, ASU 2014-09 will be effective beginning in 2018, and early adoption is permitted but not before 2017, the original public company effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

Note 4. Merger with CPA^®:16 – Global

On July 25, 2013, we and CPA^®:16 – Global entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which CPA^®:16 – Global would merge with and into one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, subject to the approval of our stockholders and the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global. On January 24, 2014, our stockholders and the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global each approved the CPA^®:16 Merger, and the CPA^®:16 Merger closed on January 31, 2014.

In the CPA^®:16 Merger, CPA^®:16 – Global stockholders received 0.1830 shares of our common stock in exchange for each share of CPA^®:16 – Global stock owned, pursuant to an exchange ratio based upon a value of $11.25 per share of CPA^®:16 – Global and the volume weighted-average trading price of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day preceding the closing of the transaction on January 31, 2014. CPA^®:16 – Global stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares in the CPA^®:16 Merger. We paid total merger consideration of approximately $1.8 billion, including the issuance of 30,729,878 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $1.8 billion based on the closing price of our common stock on January 31, 2014, of $59.08 per share, to the stockholders of CPA^®:16 – Global in exchange for the 168,041,772 shares of CPA^®:16 – Global common stock that we and our affiliates did not previously own, and cash of $1.3 million paid in lieu of issuing any fractional shares, or collectively, the Merger Consideration. As a condition of the CPA^®:16 Merger, we waived the subordinated disposition and termination fees that we would have been entitled to receive from CPA^®:16 – Global upon its liquidation pursuant to the terms of our advisory agreement with CPA^®:16 – Global (Note 5).

Immediately prior to the CPA^®:16 Merger, CPA^®:16 – Global’s portfolio was comprised of the consolidated full or partial interests in 325 leased properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased with an average remaining life of 10.4 years and an estimated contractual minimum annualized base rent, or ABR, totaling $300.1 million, and two hotel properties. The related property-level debt was comprised of 92 fixed-rate and 18 variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.8 billion and a weighted-average annual interest rate of 5.6% at that date. Additionally, CPA^®:16 – Global had a line of credit with an outstanding balance of $170.0 million on the date of the closing of the CPA^®:16 Merger. In addition, CPA^®:16 – Global had equity interests in 18 unconsolidated investments, 11 of which were consolidated by us prior to the CPA^®:16 Merger, five of which were consolidated by us subsequent to the CPA^®:16 Merger, and two of which were jointly-owned with CPA^®:17 – Global. These investments owned 140 properties, substantially all of which were triple-net leased with an average remaining life of 8.6 years and an estimated ABR totaling $63.9 million, as of January 31, 2014. The debt related to these equity investments was comprised of 17 fixed-rate and five variable-rate non-recourse mortgage loans with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.3 billion and a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.8% on January 31, 2014. The lease revenues and income from continuing operations from the properties acquired from the date of the CPA^®:16 Merger through June 30, 2014 were $115.9 million and $35.2 million (inclusive of $1.8 million attributable to noncontrolling interests), respectively.

During 2014, we sold all ten of the properties that were classified as held-for-sale upon acquisition in connection with the CPA^®:16 Merger (Note 16). The results of operations for all ten of these properties have been included in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, we sold one property subject to a direct financing lease that we acquired in the CPA^®:16 Merger. The results of operations for this property have been included in Income from continuing operations before income taxes in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Purchase Price Allocation

We accounted for the CPA^®:16 Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, we were considered the “accounting acquirer” due to various factors, including the fact that our stockholders held the largest portion of the voting rights in us upon completion of the CPA^®:16 Merger. Costs of $30.5 million related to the CPA^®:16 Merger were incurred in 2014, of which $30.4 million were incurred and expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and classified within Merger and property acquisition expenses in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, CPA^®:16 – Global incurred a total of $10.6 million of merger expenses prior to January 31, 2014.

Equity Investments and Noncontrolling Interests

During the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $73.1 million, which was the difference between the carrying value of approximately $274.1 million and the preliminary estimated fair value of approximately $347.2 million of our previously-held equity interest in 38,229,294 shares of CPA^®:16 – Global’s common stock. During 2014, we identified certain measurement period adjustments that impacted the provisional accounting, which increased the estimated fair value of our previously-held equity interest in shares of CPA^®:16 – Global’s common stock by $2.6 million, resulting in an increase of $2.6 million in Gain on change in control of interests. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805-10-25, we did not record the measurement period adjustments during the periods they occurred. Rather, such amounts are reflected in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The CPA^®:16 Merger also resulted in our acquisition of the remaining interests in nine investments in which we already had a joint interest and accounted for under the equity method. Upon acquiring the remaining interests in these investments, we owned 100% of these investments and thus accounted for the acquisitions of these interests utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control of the nine jointly-owned investments that occurred, we recorded a gain on change in control of interests of approximately $30.2 million during the first quarter of 2014, which was the difference between our carrying values and the estimated fair values of our previously-held equity interests on the acquisition date of approximately $142.5 million and approximately $172.7 million, respectively. Subsequent to the CPA^®:16 Merger, we consolidate these wholly-owned investments.

In connection with the CPA^®:16 Merger, we also acquired the remaining interests in 12 less-than-wholly-owned investments that we already consolidate and recorded an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital of approximately $42.0 million during the first quarter of 2014 related to the difference between our carrying values and the preliminary estimated fair values of our previously-held noncontrolling interests on the acquisition date of approximately $236.8 million and $278.2 million, respectively. During 2014, we identified certain measurement period adjustments that impacted the provisional accounting, which increased the fair value of our previously-held noncontrolling interests on the acquisition date by $0.6 million, resulting in a reduction of $0.6 million to additional paid-in-capital.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information has been presented as if the CPA^®:16 Merger had occurred on January 1, 2013 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results would have been had the CPA^®:16 Merger occurred on that date, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

Asset Management Revenue

We earn asset management revenue from each Managed REIT based on each REIT’s Average Invested Assets (as defined in the respective advisory agreements). For CPA^®:16 – Global, prior to the CPA^®:16 Merger, we earned asset management revenue of 0.5% of average invested assets. For CPA^®:17 – Global and CPA^®:18 – Global, we earn asset management revenue ranging from 0.5% to 1.75% and 0.5% to 1.5%, respectively, depending on the type of investment and based on the average market value or average equity value, as applicable. For CWI and CWI 2, we earn asset management revenue of 0.5% and 0.55%, respectively, of the average market value of their lodging-related investments.

Through December 31, 2014, under the terms of the respective advisory agreements with the CPA^® REITs, we could elect to receive cash or shares of stock for asset management revenue due from each REIT. Effective January 1, 2015, the independent directors of the CPA^®REITs have the option to approve, after consultation with us, paying the annual asset management revenue due to us in cash, shares of stock, or a combination of both. In 2014, we elected to receive all asset management revenue from CPA^®:17 – Global, CPA^®:18 – Global, and CWI in shares of their respective common stock. For CPA^®:16 – Global, we elected to receive its January 2014 asset management revenue due to us in cash. In 2015, CPA^®:17 – Global elected to pay 50% of its asset management fees due to us in cash, with the remaining 50% paid in shares of its common stock, while CPA^®:18 – Global elected to pay its asset management fees due to us in shares of its Class A common stock.

Under the terms of the advisory agreements with each of the CWI REITs, we may elect to receive the annual asset management revenue in cash or in shares of their common stock. For 2015, we elected to receive asset management fees due to us from CWI in cash and from CWI 2 in shares of its Class A common stock.

Structuring Revenue

Under the terms of the advisory agreements, we earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related financing for the Managed REITs, which we refer to as acquisition revenue. We may receive acquisition revenue of 4.5% of the total aggregate cost of long-term net-lease investments made by each CPA^® REIT, of which 2.5% is paid when the transaction is completed and 2.0% is paid in annual installments over three years, provided the relevant CPA^® REIT meets its performance criterion. For certain types of non-long term net-lease investments acquired on behalf of CPA^®:17 – Global, we receive initial acquisition revenue up to 1.75% of the equity invested plus the related acquisition revenue, with no deferred acquisition revenue being earned. For each of the CWI REITs, we earn initial acquisition revenue of 2.5% of the total investment cost of the properties acquired and loans originated by them, with no deferred acquisition revenue being earned. Total acquisition revenue from each of the Managed REITs cannot exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments and loans. For each of the CWI REITs, we may also be entitled to fees for structuring loan refinancing transactions of up to 1.0% of the principal amount. This loan refinancing revenue, together with the acquisition revenue, is referred to as structuring revenue.

Unpaid deferred acquisition fees, including accrued interest, are included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated financial statements. Unpaid deferred acquisition fees bear interest at annual rates ranging from 2.0% to 5.0%.

Reimbursable Costs from Affiliates and Dealer Manager Fees

The Managed REITs reimburse us for certain costs we incur on their behalf, primarily broker-dealer commissions, marketing costs, an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee, or Shareholder Servicing Fee, in the case of CPA^®:18 – Global and CWI 2, and certain personnel and overhead costs. Personnel and overhead costs are charged to the CPA^®REITs based on the average of the trailing 12-month reported revenues of the CPA^®REITs, the CWI REITs, and us. Under the amended and restated advisory agreements for the CPA^® REITs, in 2015 and 2016, the amount of personnel costs, excluding costs related to our legal transactions group, allocated to the CPA^®REITs is capped at 2.4% and 2.2%, respectively, of pro rata lease revenues for each year. In 2017 and thereafter, the cap decreases to 2.0% of pro rata lease revenues for that year. Costs related to our legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses for different types of transactions, including 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. We allocate personnel and overhead costs to the CWI REITs based on the time incurred by our personnel. Effective April 1, 2015, we amended the advisory agreement with each of the CWI REITs so that personnel and overhead costs allocated between them based upon the percentage of their total pro rata hotel revenues for the most recently completed quarter. For 2015, we will receive personnel cost reimbursements from the CWI REITs in cash, but for 2014, we agreed to receive such reimbursements from CWI in shares of its common stock.

During CWI’s follow-on offering, which began in December 2013 and terminated in December 2014, we earned a selling commission of $0.70 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of $0.30 per share sold.

For CPA^®:18 – Global’s initial public offering, which commenced in May 2013 and terminated in April 2015, we received selling commissions of $0.70 or $0.14 per share sold, and a dealer manager fee of $0.30 or $0.21 per share sold, for its class A common stock and class C common stock, respectively. CPA^®:18 – Global completed sales of its class A common stock and class C common stock during June 2014 and April 2015, respectively. We also receive a Shareholder Servicing Fee in connection with sales of shares of class C common stock. The amount of the Shareholder Servicing Fee is 1% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported, the amount of the estimated NAV per share) for the shares of class C common stock sold in the offering. The Shareholder Servicing Fee is accrued daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. CPA^®:18 – Global will cease paying the Shareholder Servicing Fee on the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the Shareholder Servicing Fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting, and underwriting compensation paid by us, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the initial public offering.

For CWI 2’s initial public offering, which began to admit new stockholders on May 15, 2015, we receive selling commissions of $0.70 or $0.19 per share sold, and a dealer manager fee of $0.30 or $0.26 per share sold, for its class A common stock and class T common stock, respectively. We also receive a Shareholder Servicing Fee paid in connection with investor purchases of shares of class T common stock. The amount of the Shareholder Servicing Fee is 1% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported, the amount of the estimated NAV per share) for the shares of class T common stock sold in the offering. The Shareholder Servicing Fee is accrued daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. CWI 2 will cease paying the Shareholder Servicing Fee at the earlier of: (i) the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the Shareholder Servicing Fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting, and underwriting compensation paid by us, equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the initial public offering; and (ii) the sixth anniversary of the end of the quarter in which CWI 2’s initial public offering terminates.

We re-allowed all of the selling commissions and Shareholder Servicing Fees, if any, and re-allowed a portion of the dealer manager fees to selected dealers in the offerings for CWI, CWI 2, and CPA^®:18 – Global. Dealer manager fees that were not re-allowed were classified as Dealer manager fees in the consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to its advisory agreement, CWI was obligated to reimburse us for all organization costs and a portion of offering costs incurred in connection with its follow-on public offering, which terminated in December 2014, up to a maximum amount (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) of 4% of the gross proceeds of its offering. Through June 30, 2015, we incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of CWI of approximately $13.0 million, substantially all of which had been reimbursed by CWI as of June 30, 2015.

Pursuant to its advisory agreement, CWI 2 is obligated to reimburse us for all organization costs and a portion of offering costs incurred in connection with its initial public offering, which began to admit new stockholders on May 15, 2015, up to a maximum amount (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) ranging from 1.5% and 4%, depending upon the gross proceeds of its offering. Through June 30, 2015, we incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of CWI 2 of approximately $3.0 million, of which CWI 2 is obligated to reimburse us $0.7 million, and $0.1 million of which had been reimbursed as of June 30, 2015.

Pursuant to its advisory agreement, CPA^®:18 – Global is obligated to reimburse us for all organization costs and a portion of offering costs incurred in connection with its initial public offering, which terminated in April 2015. CPA^®:18 – Global is obligated to reimburse us up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds within 60 days after the end of the quarter in which the offering terminates. Through June 30, 2015, we incurred organization and offering costs on behalf of CPA^®:18 – Global of approximately $8.6 million. As of June 30, 2015, substantially all of the organization and offering costs had been reimbursed by CPA^®:18 – Global.

Distributions of Available Cash and Deferred Revenue Earned

We are entitled to receive distributions of up to 10% of the Available Cash (as defined in the respective advisory agreements) from the operating partnerships of each of the Managed REITs, as defined in their respective operating partnership agreements. In May 2011, we acquired a special member interest, or the Special Member Interest, in CPA^®:16 – Global’s operating partnership. We initially recorded this Special Member Interest at its fair value, and amortized it into earnings through the date of the CPA^®:16 Merger. Cash distributions of our proportionate share of earnings from the Managed REITs’ operating partnerships, as well as deferred revenue earned from our Special Member Interest in CPA^®:16 – Global’s operating partnership, are recorded as Equity in earnings of equity method investments in real estate and the Managed REITs within the Real Estate Ownership segment.

Other Transactions with Affiliates

Loans to Affiliates

During 2015 and 2014, our board of directors approved unsecured loans from us to CPA^®:17 – Global of up to $75.0 million, CPA^®:18 – Global of up to $100.0 million, CWI and CWI 2 of up to $110.0 million in the aggregate, and CCIF of up to $50.0 million, with each loan at a rate equal to the rate at which we are able to borrow funds under our senior credit facility (Note 12), for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions approved by their respective investment committees.

The following table presents a summary of our unsecured loans to the Managed Programs, all of which were made at an interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus1.1%, (in thousands):

On June 25, 2014, we made an $11.0 million loan to CWI, with a scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2015. The loan, including accrued interest, was repaid in full prior to maturity on July 22, 2014. In July 2015, we made two loans to CPA^®:17 – Global for $10.0 million and $15.0 million, both of which have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.1% and mature on December 30, 2015. In July 2015, CWI 2 repaid $25.0 million of its outstanding loans.

Treasury Stock

In February 2014, we repurchased 11,037 shares of our common stock for $0.7 million in cash from the former independent directors of CPA^®:16 – Global at a price per share equal to the volume weighted-average trading price of our stock utilized in the CPA^®:16 Merger. These shares were issued to them as their portion of the Merger Consideration in exchange for their shares of CPA^®:16 – Global common stock (Note 4) and were repurchased by agreement in order to satisfy the independence requirements set forth in the organizational documents of the remaining CPA^® REITs, for which these individuals also serve as independent directors.

Note 7. Finance Receivables

Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivables portfolio consists of our Net investments in direct financing leases, notes receivable, and deferred acquisition fees. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated financial statements.

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

Net investments in direct financing leases is summarized as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Minimum lease payments receivable	$	851,243		$	904,788
Unguaranteed residual value	786,871			818,334
	1,638,114			1,723,122
Less: unearned income	(854,282		)	(906,896		)
	$	783,832		$	816,226

Interest income from direct financing leases, which was included in Lease revenues in the consolidated financial statements, was $18.7 million and $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $37.4 million and $38.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the euro, resulting in a $29.9 million decrease in the carrying value of Net investments in direct financing leases from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we reclassified properties with a carrying value of $7.0 million from Net investments in direct financing leases to Real estate (Note 6), in connection with the restructuring of the underlying leases.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Other assets, net included $1.6 million and $1.4 million of accounts receivable, respectively, related to amounts billed under these direct financing leases.

Notes Receivable

At June 30, 2015, we had a note receivable with an outstanding balance of $10.8 million, representing the expected future payments under a sales type lease, which was included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, a note receivable with an outstanding balance of $10.0 million was repaid in full to us.

Deferred Acquisition Fees Receivable

As described in Note 5, we earn revenue in connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing for the CPA^® REITs. A portion of this revenue is due in equal annual installments over three years, provided the CPA^® REITs meet their respective performance criteria. Unpaid deferred installments, including accrued interest, from the CPA^® REITs were included in Due from affiliates in the consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. At both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Other than the lease restructurings noted under “Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases” above, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables was last updated in the second quarter of 2015. We believe the credit quality of our deferred acquisition fees receivable falls under category one, as the CPA^® REITs are expected to have the available cash to make such payments.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):



	Number of Tenants / Obligors at		Carrying Value at
Internal Credit Quality Indicator	June 30, 2015	December 31, 2014	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014

Note 8. Equity Investments in Real Estate and the Managed Programs

We own interests in certain unconsolidated real estate investments with the Managed Programs and also own interests in the Managed Programs. We account for our interests in these investments under the equity method of accounting (i.e., at cost, increased or decreased by our share of earnings or losses, less distributions, plus contributions and other adjustments required by equity method accounting, such as basis differences).

Managed Programs

We own interests in the Managed Programs and account for these interests under the equity method, because, as their advisor and through our ownership of their common stock, we do not exert control over, but we do have the ability to exercise significant influence on, the Managed Programs.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate unamortized basis differences on our equity investments in the Managed Programs were $22.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth certain information about our investments in the Managed Programs (dollars in thousands):
