Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report onForm 10-Q, 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 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seeks,” “plans” or similar expressions. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees, and speak only as of the date they are made. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plan expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. While we cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties, they include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in Item 1A of our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Additionally, a description of our critical accounting estimates is included in the management’s discussion and analysis section in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. There has been no significant change in such critical accounting estimates.
As used in this quarterly report onForm 10-Q, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” include Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated, its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, unless otherwise indicated.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated (the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. The primary source of the Company’s revenue is earned from leasing real estate, primarily on a triple net lease basis.

As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 215 properties leased to 44 tenants and totaled approximately 14.8 million square feet. The Company was formed in 2003 and is managed by W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and its subsidiaries (the “advisor”). As a REIT, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as it satisfies certain requirements relating to the nature of its income, the level of its distributions and other factors.

NOTE 2. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 ofRegulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, and its majority-ownedand/or controlled subsidiaries. The portion of these entities not owned by the Company is presented as minority interest as of and during the periods consolidated.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”). The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls. Entities that the Company accounts for under the equity method (i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by the Company’s share of earnings or losses, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations.
Information about International Geographic Areas
The Company has international investments in Canada, Europe, Mexico, Thailand, Malaysia and the United Kingdom. These investments accounted for lease revenues (rental income and interest income from direct financing leases) of $3,928 and $2,034 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, lease revenues of $10,209 and $5,371 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, income from equity investments in real estate of $1,052 and $886 for the three months ended September 30,

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an Amendment of FASB No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). The purpose of SFAS No. 155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. The provisions of FAS 155 will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 155 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company not recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that fails to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements.
Traditionally, there have been two widely-recognized methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements: the “roll-over” method and the “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement — including the reversing effect of prior year misstatements — but its use can lead to the accumulation of misstatements in the balance sheet. The iron-curtain method, on the other hand, focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet with less emphasis on the reversing effects of prior year errors on the income statement. The Company currently uses the iron-curtain method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.
In SAB 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the iron curtain and roll-over methods. SAB 108 permits existing public companies to initially apply its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the “dual approach” had always been used or (ii) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of the “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The Company will initially apply the provisions of SAB 108 using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3. | Organization and Offerings |
The Company commenced its initial public offering of up to 110,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share in December 2003. The initial offering was conducted on a “best efforts” basis by Carey Financial, LLC (“Carey Financial”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of W. P. Carey & Co. LLC, and other selected dealers. The Company sold 55,332,415 shares of common stock in its initial offering before suspending sales activities on December 30, 2004. The Company formally terminated its initial offering in March 2005 by filing an amendment to the registration statement for its initial offering, to deregister shares of its common stock that remained unissued as of March 8, 2005, excluding 50,000,000 issuable under its Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). In March 2006, the Company deregistered all remaining Plan shares with respect to this registration statement that were not issued as of March 23, 2006.
In August 2005, the Company filed an amendment to the registration statement filed with the SEC in 2004 for a second “best efforts” public offering of up to 55,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share as well as up to 40,000,000 shares issuable under its Plan. The SEC declared this registration statement effective in February 2006, and the Company commenced its second public offering effective March 27, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued 27,897,910 shares for gross proceeds of $278,915, pursuant to this second public offering, and also issued 1,292,680 shares under the Plan. Since inception of its second offering, the Company has raised $426,857 through November 14, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
aggregate cost of investments acquired, of which 2% will be deferred and payable in equal annual installments over three years with payment subordinated to the performance criterion. Unpaid installments bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. For investments that were acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, current and deferred acquisition fees were $7,455 and $5,964, respectively, and were paid or payable to the advisor subject to subordination to the performance criterion. For investments that were acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, current and deferred acquisition fees were $10,721 and $8,577, respectively, and were paid or payable to the advisor subject to subordination to the performance criterion. For investments acquired using the proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering, the Company pays the advisor an acquisition expense allowance of 0.5% of the cost of the investment in consideration for the advisor’s payment of certain acquisition expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the allowance was $1,218 and $2,528, respectively. For investments that will be acquired using the proceeds from the Company’s second public offering, the advisor will not receive an acquisition expense allowance but will be reimbursed for all reasonable direct third party acquisition related costs incurred.
Included in deferred acquisition fees payable to affiliate and due to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, is $33,771 and $23,085, respectively, of deferred costs related to services provided by the advisor (as described above). Payment of such amounts is contingent on the Company meeting its performance criterion.
The Company owns interests in entities which range from 25% to 70%, with the remaining interests held by affiliates.
The Company is a participant in an entity with certain affiliates for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of real estate entities and sharing the associated costs.

The financing has a term of 10 years.
2005 — During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company, together with an affiliate, also acquired three equity investments (one each in Finland, Germany and France) in entities where the Company’s ownership interests are 50% or less.

NOTE 9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
As of September 30, 2006, the Company was not involved in any material litigation.
As previously reported, the advisor and Carey Financial, the wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of the advisor, are currently subject to an investigation by the SEC into payments made to third party broker-dealers and other matters.
In response to subpoenas and requests of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC (“Enforcement Staff”), the advisor and Carey Financial have produced documents relating to payments made to certain broker-dealers, both during and after the offering process, for certain of the REITs managed by the advisor (including Corporate Property Associates 10 Incorporated (“CPA®:10”), Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated
13
CORPORATE PROPERTY ASSOCIATES 16 — GLOBAL INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(“CIP®”), Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”), CPA®:14 and CPA®:15, in addition to selling commissions and selected dealer fees.
Among the payments reflected in documents produced to the Enforcement Staff were certain payments, aggregating in excess of $9,600, made to a broker-dealer which distributed shares of the REITs. The expenses associated with these payments, which were made during the period from early 2000 through the end of 2003, were borne by and accounted for on the books and records of the REITs. Of these payments, CPA®:10 paid in excess of $40; CIP® paid in excess of $875; CPA®:12 paid in excess of $2,455; CPA®:14 paid in excess of $4,990; and CPA®:15 paid in excess of $1,240. In addition, other smaller payments by these REITs to the same and other broker-dealers have been identified aggregating less than $1,000. The Company did not make, or make reimbursements in respect of, any of these payments to broker-dealers.
Although no formal regulatory action has been initiated against the advisor or Carey Financial in connection with the matters being investigated, the Company expects the SEC may pursue such an action against either or both of them. The nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek cannot be predicted at this time. If such an action is brought, it could have a material adverse effect on the advisor and the REITs managed by the advisor, including the Company, and the magnitude of that effect would not necessarily be limited to the payments described above but could include other payments and civil monetary penalties. Any action brought against the advisor or Carey Financial could also have a material adverse effect on the Company because of the Company’s dependence on the advisor and Carey Financial for a broad range of services, including in connection with the offering of securities.
Several state securities regulators have sought information from Carey Financial relating to the matters described above. While one or more states may commence proceedings against Carey Financial in connection with these inquiries, the Company does not currently expect that these inquiries will have a material effect on the advisor or Carey Financial incremental to that caused by any SEC action.
The Company is liable for certain expenses of offerings of its securities including filing, legal, accounting, printing and escrow fees, which are to be deducted from the gross proceeds of the offerings. The Company reimburses Carey Financial or one of its affiliates for expenses (including fees and expenses of its counsel) and for the costs of any sales and information meetings of Carey Financial’s employees or those of one of its affiliates relating to the Company’s securities offerings. Total underwriting compensation with respect to any offering may not exceed 10% of gross proceeds of such offering. The advisor has agreed to be responsible for the payment of (i) organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees paid and expenses reimbursed to the sales agent and selected dealers) which exceed 4% of the gross proceeds of each offering and (ii) organization and offering expenses (including selling commissions, fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) which exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of each offering. The total costs paid by the advisor and its subsidiaries in connection with offerings of the Company’s securities were $28,261 through September 30, 2006, of which the Company has reimbursed $22,521. Unpaid costs are included in due to affiliates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 2006.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Business Overview
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally. The primary source of our revenue is earned from leasing real estate, primarily on a triple net lease basis. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, tenant defaults, lease expirations and sales of properties. As of September 30, 2006, our portfolio consisted of 215 properties leased to 44 tenants and totaled approximately 14.8 million square feet. We were formed in 2003 and are managed by W. P. Carey & Co. LLC and its subsidiaries (the “advisor”). As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S. federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions and other factors.
Current Developments and Trends
Current developments include:
FUND RAISING ACTIVITY — Effective March 27, 2006, we commenced our second public offering of up to 55,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (or $550,000) and raised $115,970 during the three months ended September 30, 2006. Since commencing our second offering, we have raised $426,857 through November 14, 2006. We currently expect to close our second offering during either the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITY — During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we completed five investments, including entering into twobuild-to-suit projects, at a total cost of approximately $113,000, which is based upon the applicable foreign exchange rate at the date of acquisition and estimated construction costs where appropriate. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we also obtained limited recourse mortgage financing of $58,433, which is based upon the applicable foreign exchange rate at the date of closing where appropriate, with a weighted average fixed annual interest rate and term of approximately 6.7% and 12.8 years, respectively. Of the five investments made, four are in the U.S. and one is in Malaysia.
TENANT ACTIVITY — In June 2006, our tenants, Clean Earth Kentucky, LLC and Clean Earth Environmental Group LLC (collectively, “Clean Earth,”), which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2006, notified us that they would not affirm their lease. Aggregate annual rent under the leases to Clean Earth approximated $710. In July 2006, the assets of Clean Earth were purchased by EZ Pack Holdings, LLC, EZ Pack Manufacturing LLC, and EZ Pack Parts, LLC (collectively, “EZ Pack”), and we entered into a new long-term lease with EZ Pack which provides for initial annual rent consistent with revenue generated under the Clean Earth leases.
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION — In September 2006, our board of directors approved and increased the 2006 third quarter distribution to $0.1601 per share payable in October 2006 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2006.
Current trends include:
We continue to see increased competition for net leased properties as capital continues to flow into real estate, in general, and net leased real estate, in particular. We believe that low long-term interest rates by historical standards have created greater investor demand for yield-based investments, such as net leased real estate, thus creating increased capital flows and a more competitive investment environment.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
We believe that several factors may provide us with continued investment opportunities both domestically and internationally including increased merger and acquisition activity, which may provide additional sale-leaseback opportunities as a source of funding, a continued desire of corporations to divest themselves of real estate holdings and increasing opportunities for sale-leaseback transactions in the international market, which continues to make up a large portion of our investment opportunities. Investment activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled approximately $113,000 and $299,300, respectively as compared to approximately $97,900 and $517,500, respectively for the comparable 2005 periods.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, international investments accounted for 37% of ouryear-to-date investments. For the year ended December 31, 2005, international investments accounted for 54% of total investments. We currently expect international commercial real estate to continue to comprise a significant portion of our total investments although the percentage of international investments in any given period may vary substantially.
Increases in long term interest rates would likely cause the value of our real estate assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit quality of certain tenants. Rising interest rates would likely cause an increase in inflation and a corresponding increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). To the extent that the CPI increases, additional rental income streams may be generated for leases with CPI adjustment triggers and partially offset the impact of declining property values. In addition, we constantly evaluate our debt exposure and to the extent that opportunities exist to refinance and lock in lower interest rates over a longer term, we may be able to reduce our exposure to short term interest rate fluctuation.
We have foreign operations and as such are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. Our results of foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the average rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro was moderately weaker than for the comparable 2005 period, and as a result, we experienced a moderately positive impact on our results of foreign operations for the current three-month period versus the comparable 2005 period. However, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the average rate for the U.S. dollar in relation to the Euro was moderately stronger than for the comparable 2005 period, and as a result, we experienced a moderately negative impact on our results of operations for the current nine month period versus the comparable 2005 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash flow generated from operations was sufficient to fund distributions paid to shareholders and minority partners and scheduled mortgage principal payments.
How Management Evaluates Results of Operations
Management evaluates our results of operations with a primary focus on the ability to generate cash flow necessary to meet our objectives of funding distributions to stockholders and overall property appreciation. As a result, management’s assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows, and to other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and impairment charges.
Management considers cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities (as described in Financial Condition, below) to be important measures in the evaluation of our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Cash flows from operations are sourced primarily from long-term lease contracts. Such leases are generally triple net and mitigate, to an extent, our exposure to certain property operating expenses. Management’s evaluation of the amount and expected fluctuation of cash
17

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
flows from operations is essential in assessing our ability to fund operating expenses, service our debt and fund distributions to stockholders.
Management considers cash flows from operating activities plus cash distributions from equity investments in real estate in excess of equity income as a supplemental measure of liquidity in evaluating our ability to sustain distributions to stockholders. Management considers this measure useful as a supplemental measure to the extent the source of distributions in excess of equity income in real estate is the result of non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, because it allows management to evaluate such cash flows from consolidated and unconsolidated investments in a comparable manner. In deriving this measure, cash distributions from equity investments in real estate that are sourced from the sales of the equity investee’s assets or refinancing of debt are excluded because they are deemed to be returns of investment.
Management focuses on measures of cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities in its evaluation of our capital resources. Investing activities typically consist of the acquisition or disposition of investments in real property and the funding of capital expenditures with respect to real properties. Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of the payment of distributions to stockholders, obtaining limited recourse mortgage financing, generally in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of properties, and the payment of mortgage principal amortization. Our financing strategy has been to purchase substantially all of our properties with a combination of equity and limited recourse mortgage debt. A lender on a limited recourse mortgage loan has recourse only to the property collateralizing such debt and not to any of our other assets. This strategy has allowed us to diversify our portfolio of properties and, thereby, limit our risk. In the event that a balloon payment comes due, we may seek to refinance the loan, restructure the debt with existing lenders, and evaluate our ability to pay the balloon payment from our cash reserves or sell the property and use the proceeds to satisfy the mortgage debt.
Our operations consist primarily of the investment in and the leasing of commercial real estate. Management’s evaluation of the sources of lease revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations presented below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are not expected to be representative of future results because we anticipate that our asset base will continue to increase substantially as we invest the proceeds from our second public offering. As our asset base increases, revenues and general and administrative and property expenses as well as depreciation are expected to increase. Interest expense is expected to increase as we obtain mortgage financing for our investments.
Lease Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, lease revenues (rental income and interest income from direct financing leases) increased by $6,007 primarily as a result of recent investment activity. Lease revenues from several investments acquired or placed into service during 2006 and 2005 contributed $5,596 of this increase and rent increases at several existing properties contributed $243.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, lease revenues increased by $19,488 primarily as a result of lease revenue generated from investments acquired or placed into service during 2005 and 2006.
Our leases generally have rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the CPI or other indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, sales overrides or other periodic increases, which are designed to increase lease revenues in the future.
We have acquired several international investments and expect that such investments will continue to make up a significant portion of our investment activity. We expect lease revenue from our international investments to fluctuate in the future in connection with exchange rate movements in foreign currencies.

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, depreciation and amortization increased $1,218 and $4,212, respectively, primarily as a result of depreciation and amortization incurred on investments entered into during 2006 and 2005.
Property Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, property expenses increased by $1,076 primarily due to an increase in asset management and performance fees of $764 as well as an increase in reimbursable tenant costs, which are recorded as both revenue and expense and therefore have no impact on net income. The increase in asset management and performance fees paid to the advisor results from an increase in our asset base due to recent investment activity in 2006 and 2005.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, property expenses increased by $3,506 primarily due to an increase in asset management and performance fees of $2,786, an increase in legal expenses of $310 primarily related to the Clean Earth and Foss bankruptcy proceedings and an increase in reimbursable tenant costs.
Income from Equity Investments in Real Estate
Income from equity investments in real estate represents our proportionate share of net income (revenue less expenses) from investments entered into with affiliates or third parties in which we have been deemed to have a non-controlling interest but exercise significant influence.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, versus the comparable 2005 periods, income from equity investments in real estate increased by $172 and $1,134, respectively, primarily due to our equity participation in several investments entered into during 2006 and 2005.
Other Interest Income
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, other interest income increased by $2,140 and $2,564, respectively, primarily due to an increase in our average cash balances as a result of proceeds received from our second offering and an increase in interest rates.
Minority Interest in Income
We consolidate investments in which we are deemed to have a controlling interest. Minority interest in income represents the proportionate share of net income (revenue less expenses) from such investments that is attributable to the partner(s) holding the non-controlling interest.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable 2005 periods, the increase in minority interest in income of $258 and $1,119, respectively, reflects the effect of our acquisition of controlling interests in two investments during the second and fourth quarters of 2005.
Interest Expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable 2005 periods, interest expense increased by $2,546 and $7,934, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the impact of limited recourse mortgage loans obtained on investments acquired or placed into service during 2006 and 2005, which resulted in higher average outstanding balances.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Net Income
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 versus the comparable 2005 periods, net income increased by $3,768 and $7,729, respectively, primarily due to the results of operations from our recent investments entered into during 2006 and 2005. This investment activity resulted in increases in lease revenue and income from equity investments in real estate, which were partially offset by increases in interest expense, property expenses and depreciation and amortization as described above.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Uses of Cash During the Period
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $331,469 as of September 30, 2006, which represents an increase of $176,095 since December 31, 2005. We commenced our second public offering of common stock in March 2006. We believe that we have sufficient cash balances to invest in a diversified investment portfolio and meet existing working capital needs. Our use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is described below.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES — One of our objectives is to use the cash flow from net leases to meet operating expenses, service debt and fund distributions to shareholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash flows from operations of $37,465 were sufficient to fund distributions to shareholders of $28,328, meet scheduled mortgage principal installments of $4,571 and distribute $1,220 to minority interest partners. For 2006, the advisor has elected to receive asset management and performance fees in restricted common stock. As a result of this election, we paid asset management fees of $3,857 through the issuance of common stock rather than in cash. Performance fees have not been paid as we have not yet achieved the performance criterion.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate related transactions (purchases and sales of real estate and mortgage loans collateralized by real estate) and the purchase of and sale of short-term investments and marketable securities which we intend to convert to cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we used $215,902 to complete nine investments and to fund construction costs at sixbuild-to-suit projects, one of which was placed into service during the current nine month period. We also placed $28,419 into escrow, of which $22,504 was for an investment that was completed in July 2006 and $5,915 will be used for future construction costs at an existingbuild-to-suit project. In June 2006, we received $20,000 from the early prepayment of a mortgage receivable. Our2006 year-to-date investment activity was funded through the use of existing cash balances and proceeds from limited recourse mortgage financing.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES — During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we obtained $258,319 from the issuance of stock, net of costs, primarily from our second public offering, which commenced in March 2006. We also obtained $119,744 in mortgage financing to fund investment activity. In addition to making scheduled mortgage principal payments, paying distributions to shareholders and minority partners, we used $3,717 to purchase treasury shares through a redemption plan which allows shareholders to sell shares back to us, subject to certain limitations.
All of our mortgage obligations effectively bear interest at fixed rates. Accordingly, our cash flow should not be adversely affected by increases in interest rates, which are low by historical standards. However, financing on future acquisitions will likely bear higher rates of interest.
Cash Resources
As of September 30, 2006, we had $331,469 in cash and cash equivalents as well as $2,235 in short-term instruments that we intend to convert to cash, which will primarily be used to fund future investments, as well
22

as maintain sufficient working capital balances and meet other commitments. In addition, debt may be incurred on unleveraged properties with a carrying value of $23,232 as of September 30, 2006 and any proceeds may be used to finance future investments. We expect to continue raising funds through the second public offering of our common stock, which commenced in March 2006.
We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by several factors in the remainder of 2006 and 2007 including:
| |
• | The impact of investments entered into or placed into service during 2006, the full year impact of investments entered into during 2005 and the expected completion of abuild-to-suit project in 2006, all of which we expect will have a net positive impact on cash flow. |
|
• | The advisor’s election in 2006 to continue to receive asset management and performance fees in restricted shares. The advisor has not yet made its election for 2007 and accordingly cash flow could be significantly adversely affected if the advisor decides to receive payment for asset management and performance fees in cash versus restricted shares. |
|
• | Scheduled rent increases on several properties during 2006 and 2007 should result in additional cash from operations. |
Cash Requirements
During the next twelve months, cash requirements will include scheduled mortgage principal payment installments (we have no mortgage balloon payments scheduled until 2011), paying distributions to shareholders, fundingbuild-to-suit commitments as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We also intend to use our cash to make new investments to further diversify our portfolio and maintain cash balances sufficient to meet working capital needs.
Based on projected increases in operating cash flows from recent investments, cash flow from operations is expected to be sufficient to meet operating cash flow objectives during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we expect to have sufficient cash flow to continue funding distributions to our shareholders. Distributions are determined based in part upon our long-term projections of cash flow.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October 2006, we acquired two investments for a combined purchase price of $19,267. In connection with one of these investments, $9,000 in limited recourse mortgage financing was obtained with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.21% and a term of 13.5 years.
Also, in October and November 2006, we, together with certain affiliates, through jointly owned ventures, acquired interests in two domestic properties for approximately $42,296. In connection with these acquisitions, the ventures obtained limited recourse mortgage financing totaling $25,700 at a weighted average fixed annual interest rate and term of 5.96% and 10 years. Our proportionate share of cost in these investments and financing obtained is approximately $19,558 and $11,650, respectively.

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Interest Rate Risk
The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates, local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, and which may affect our ability to refinance our debt when balloon payments are scheduled.
All of our long-term debt effectively bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates and scheduled amortization payments of our debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for our fixed rate debt. The annual interest rates on our fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2006 ranged from 4.36% to 7.34%.

A change in interest rates of 1% would not have an effect on annual interest expense as we have no variable rate debt. A change in interest rates of 1% would increase or decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt at September 30, 2006 by approximately $23,612.
Although we have not experienced any credit losses on investments in loan participations, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environmentand/or economic downturn, loan defaults could increase and result in us recognizing credit losses, which could adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. Further, such defaults could have an adverse effect on the spreads between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have foreign operations in the European Union, Thailand, Malaysia and Canada and as such are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. A significant portion of our foreign operations were conducted in the Euro. We are likely to conduct business in other currencies as we seek to invest funds from our offering internationally. For all currencies we are a net receiver of the foreign currency (we receive more cash then we pay out) and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency translation gains of $163 and losses of $1,154 are included in the accompanying financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such gains are primarily due to changes in foreign currency on accrued interest receivable on notes receivable from wholly-owned subsidiaries.
To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have obtained limited recourse mortgage financing at fixed rates of interest in the local currency. To the extent that currency fluctuations increase or decrease rental revenues as translated to dollars, the change in debt service, as translated to dollars, will partially offset the effect of fluctuations in revenue, and, to some extent mitigate the risk from changes in foreign currency rates.

ITEM 2. — UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a) For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, 141,617 shares of common stock were issued to the advisor as consideration for asset management and performance fees. Shares were issued at $10 per share. Since none of these transactions were considered to have involved a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as amended, the shares issued were deemed to be exempt from registration. In acquiring our shares, the advisor represented that such interests were being acquired by it for the purposes of investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.

Under our redemption plan we may elect to redeem shares of our common stock subject to certain conditions and limitations. The maximum amount of shares purchasable by us in any period depends on the availability of funds generated by the Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan and other factors at the discretion of our Board of Directors. However, at no time during a12-month period may the number of shares redeemed by us exceed 5% of the number of shares of our outstanding common stock at the beginning of such period. The redemption plan will terminate if and when our shares are listed on a national securities exchange or included for quotation on Nasdaq. |
