                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business.


                  Registrant is engaged in the business of investing in
commercial and industrial real estate properties which are net leased to
commercial and industrial entities. Registrant was organized as a California
limited partnership on April 12, 1983. Effective January 1, 1998, the General
Partner of Registrant is Carey Diversified LLC ("Carey Diversified"). W. P.
Carey & Co., Inc. and William P. Carey were formerly Corporate General Partner
and Individual General Partner, respectively. Carey Diversified is also the
General Partner of Corporate Property Associates ("CPA(R):1"), Corporate
Property Associates 2 ("CPA(R):2"), Corporate Property Associates 3
("CPA(R):3"), Corporate Property Associates 4, a California limited partnership
("CPA(R):4"), Corporate Property Associates 6 - a California limited partnership
("CPA(R):6"), Corporate Property Associates 7 - a California limited partnership
("CPA(R):7"), Corporate Property Associates 8, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("CPA(R):8") and Corporate Property Associates 9, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("CPA(R):9"). Registrant has entered into an agreement with
Carey Management LLC ("Carey Management") pursuant to which Carey Management
performs a variety of management services for Registrant.

                  Registrant has two industry segments consisting of the
investment in and the leasing of industrial and commercial real estate and the
operation of a hotel business at two properties. See Selected Financial Data in
Item 6 and Management's Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 for a summary of
Registrant's operations. By assuming the operation of the hotel businesses from
former tenants, Management intends to preserve the value of the underlying
investment while generating a contribution to Registrant's operating cash flow.
Also see the material contained in the Prospectus under the heading INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.

                  The properties owned by Registrant are described in Item 2.
Registrant's entire net proceeds from the public offering, less a working
capital reserve have been fully invested in net leased commercial and industrial
real estate since March 17, 1988, the date of Registrant's final real estate
acquisition.

                  Except for the two hotel properties, Registrant's properties
are leased to corporate tenants under net leases. A net lease generally requires
tenants to pay all operating expenses relating to the leased properties
including maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities which under
other forms of leases are often paid by the lessor. Lessees are required to
include Registrant as an additional insured party on all insurance policies
relating to the leased properties. In addition, substantially all of the net
leases include indemnification provisions which require the lessees to indemnify
Registrant and the General Partners for liabilities on all matters related to
the leased properties. Registrant believes that the insurance and indemnity
provided on its behalf by its lessees provides adequate coverage for property
damage and any liability claims which may arise against Registrant's ownership
interests. In addition to the insurance and indemnification provisions of the
leases, Registrant has contingent property and liability insurance on its leased
properties and primary property and liability coverages on its two hotel
properties. Management believes that its insurance is adequate. To the extent
that any lessees are not financially able to satisfy indemnification obligations
which exceed insurance reimbursements, Registrant may incur the costs necessary
to repair property and settle liabilities.

                  As described above, lessees generally retain the obligation
for the operating expenses of their leased properties so that, other than rental
income, there are no significant operating data reportable on Registrant's
leased properties. Current rental income is reported in Note 9 to the Financial
Statements in Item 8. As discussed in Item 7, Management's Discussion and
Analysis, Registrant's leases generally provide for periodic rent increases
which are either fixed or based on formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer
Price Index. The lease with Penn Virginia Corporation ("Penn Virginia") expires
in 1999, however, Penn Virginia may elect a ten-year renewal option in the event
it does not exercise its purchase option. Penn Virginia's purchase option is
exercisable between August 1998 and August 1999. The purchase option provides
for an exercise price based on the greater of fair market value, as defined in
the lease, or $3,700,000.


                                     - 1 -
   3
                  Since Registrant's objective has been to invest in properties
which are occupied by a single corporate tenant and subject to long-term net
leases backed by the credit of the corporate lessee, Registrant's properties are
not generally subject to the competitive conditions of local and regional real
estate markets. In selecting its real estate investments, Registrant's strategy
was to identify properties of material importance to the lessee so that the
lessee would be more likely to extend its lease beyond the initial term or
exercise a purchase option if such option was provided for in the lease
agreement. Registrant is more likely to be affected by the financial condition
of its lessees rather than the competitive conditions of the real estate
marketplace. Registrant's strategy has been to diversify its investments among
tenants, property types and industries with geographical diversification being
only a secondary objective. The Alpena, and Petoskey businesses are seasonal in
nature with occupancy rates for the year ended December 31, 1997 of 57% and 53%,
respectively. The occupancy rates decreased by 2% for Alpena and increased by 3%
for Petoskey from that of the prior year.

                  As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements in Item 8,
on November 12, 1997, Registrant and Gould entered into an agreement to
terminate their lease effective October 1, 1997 with a remaining obligation on
the part of Gould to perform certain repairs to the building. In consideration
for the termination of the lease, Gould paid a termination fee of $1,837,500 in
January 1998. On October 1, 1997, Registrant entered into a lease with Lockheed
Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") for approximately 48% of the leasable space.
The Lockheed lease provides for an initial term through August 31, 2000 with
options for two one-year renewal terms. Annual rent is $360,000 increasing to
$475,000 in December 1999.

                  In May 1997, the lender on the limited recourse mortgage loan
collateralized by the Arley Merchandise Corporation ("Arley") properties made a
demand for payment for the entire outstanding principal balance of the loan of
$4,754,940. In June 1997, the lender initiated a lawsuit for the purpose of
foreclosing on the Arley properties. Registrant did not contest the lender's
actions, and on November 17, 1997, the ownership of the Arley properties was
transferred to the lender and the loan obligation was canceled.

                  For the year ended December 31, 1997, revenues from properties
occupied by lease obligors which accounted for 10% or more of the revenues of
the industrial and commercial real estate segment of Registrant were as follows:
Gould 19%; Duff-Norton Company, Inc., 17%; DeVlieg Bullard, Inc., 16% and Exide
Electronics Corporation, 10%. No other property owned by Registrant accounted
for 10% or more of its total real estate operating revenue during 1997. Revenues
from the industrial and commercial real estate segment represent approximately
62% of total revenues. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements in Item 8.

                  In 1994, Registrant voluntarily conducted Phase II reviews of
certain of its properties based on the results of the Phase I environmental
reviews contracted for in 1993. Registrant believes, based on the results of
such reviews, that its leased properties are in substantial compliance with
Federal and state environmental statutes and regulations. Portions of certain
properties have been documented as having a limited degree of contamination,
principally in connection with either leakage from underground storage tanks or
surface spills from facility activities. Phase II investigations have been
recommended for some properties based upon the Phase I reports. For those
conditions which were identified, Registrant advised its tenants of such
findings and of their obligations, if any, to perform any required remediation.
Tenants are generally subject to environmental statutes and regulations
regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and any related remediation
obligations. In addition, Registrant's leases generally require tenants to
indemnify Registrant from all liabilities and losses related to the leased
properties. Accordingly, Management believes that the ultimate resolution of the
aforementioned environmental matters will not have a material effect on
Registrant's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

                  On October 16, 1997, Registrant distributed a Consent
Solicitation Statement/Prospectus to the Limited Partners that described a
proposal to consolidate Registrant with the other CPA(R) Partnerships. Proposals
that each of the nine CPA(R) limited partnerships be merged with a corresponding
subsidiary partnership of Carey Diversified, of which Carey Diversified is the
general partner, were approved by the Limited Partners of all nine of the CPA(R)
limited partnerships. Each limited partner had the option of either exchanging
his or her limited partnership interest for an interest in Carey Diversified
("Listed Shares") or to retain a limited partnership interest in the subsidiary
partnership ("Subsidiary Partnership Units"). On January 1, 1998, 3,494 holders
representing 111,658 of the 113,200 limited partnership units exchanged such
units for 2,051,157 Listed Shares with 48 holders of the remaining 1,542 limited
partnership units exchanging such units for Subsidiary Partnership Units.

                  The Listed Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Subsidiary Partnership Units provide substantially the same economic
interest and legal rights as those of a limited partnership unit in Registrant
prior to the consolidation, but are not listed on a securities exchange. A
liquidating distribution to holders of Subsidiary Partnership Units will be made
after an appraisal of Registrant's properties. The date of such an appraisal is
to be no later than December 31, 2001.

                  Registrant does not have any employees. Carey Management, an
affiliate of the General Partner of Registrant, performs accounting, secretarial
and transfer services for Registrant. Chase Mellon Shareholder Services, Inc.
performs certain transfer services for Registrant and The Chase Manhattan Bank
performs certain banking services for Registrant. In addition, Registrant has
entered into an agreement with Carey Management pursuant to which Carey
Management provides certain management services for Registrant.

                  Registrant's management company has responsibility for
maintaining Registrant's books and records. An affiliate of the management
company services the computer systems used in maintaining such books and
records. In its preliminary assessment of Year 2000 issues, the affiliate
believes that such issues will not have a material effect on Registrant's
operations; however, such assessment has not been completed. Registrant relies
on its bank and transfer agent for certain computer related services and has
initiated discussions to determine whether they are addressing Year 2000 issues
that might affect Registrant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                  Results of Operations

                  Net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 decreased by
$5,091,000 to $2,685,000 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1996.
Excluding the effect of gains on the disposition of properties in 1996 and 1997,
income decreased by $764,000. The decrease, as adjusted, was primarily due to
decreases in lease revenues (rental income and interest income from direct
financing leases) and hotel operating income and an increase in general and
administrative expenses. The effect of these items was partially offset by a
decrease in interest expense.

                  The decrease in lease revenues was due to the sale in 1996 of
a property leased to GATX Logistics, Inc., the termination of the Arley
Merchandise Corporation lease in July 1997 and the December 1996 modification of
the Rochester Button Company lease. The decrease in hotel earnings was solely
due to the sale of the Rapid City hotel property in October 1996. The increase
in general and administrative costs was due to costs incurred in connection with
the structuring of the exchange transaction described below. The decrease in
interest expense was due to the prepayment of several mortgage loans in 1996. As
of December 31, 1997, the Partnership's remaining debt consists of the mortgage
loans on the two hotel properties in Alpena and Petoskey, Michigan and a note
payable to an affiliate.

                  Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by
$5,864,000 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995. Such increase was
primarily due to gains realized on the sale of Partnership properties. Income
before gains, and excluding (i) the effects of noncash charges for writedowns of
assets to their estimated net realizable values in both 1996 and 1995 and (ii)
nonrecurring items in 1995 included in other income in the accompanying
financial statements, would have reflected an increase of $683,000.

                  The increase in income, as adjusted for 1996, was due to
decreases in interest, depreciation, general and administrative and property
expenses and was partially offset by a decrease in lease revenues. The decrease
in interest expense resulted from the combination of (i) satisfying mortgage
loans in connection with property dispositions, and (ii) using proceeds from
those property sales to pay off mortgage debt on other Partnership properties
that are still subject to leases. The decrease in depreciation expense was
solely due to the disposition of properties resulting in a reduction in the
balances of assets subject to depreciation. The decrease in general and
administrative expense reflected lower state tax and office occupancy expenses
in 1996. Prior to selling the Helena, Montana office building in January 1996,
the Partnership absorbed a portion of the operating expenses for that property.
In 1995, such costs, net of tenant reimbursements, were approximately $82,000.
Accordingly, property expense decreased due to the sale of the Helena property
and because of legal costs incurred in 1995 in connection with a dispute
regarding the final determination for the sales price of a property. The
decrease in lease revenues is entirely due to the sale of properties in 1995 and
1996. The 1996 gain on the sale of properties resulted from the sales of the
office building in Helena, Montana, a warehouse facility in Hodgkins, Illinois
leased to GATX Logistics and the Holiday Inn in Rapid City, South Dakota which
had been operated by the Partnership

                  Earnings for the hotel operation decreased in 1997 as a result
the sale of the Rapid City hotel in October 1996. Management had decided to sell
the Rapid City hotel, having concluded that the cost of upgrading the Rapid City
hotel to meet the core modernization plan of Holiday Inn and retain the Holiday
Inn affiliation would not provide an adequate return on the additional
investment. Revenues and profitability of the Rapid City operation were expected
to decrease from any change in hotel chain affiliation. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, earnings from the Alpena and Petoskey hotels increased by
18%, to $705,000. The occupancy rate of the Petoskey hotel increased by 3% to
53%, and the average room rate increased by 4%, resulting in revenue growth of
8%. The Petoskey hotel had also realized an increase in its occupancy rate in
1996. The occupancy rate of the Alpena hotel decreased by 2% to 57%; however,
the average room rate increased by 7% so that revenue was stable for the
comparable years. The Alpena hotel realized increases in average room and
occupancy rates in 1996. Operating expenses at the two hotels were stable for
the comparable years.

                  Cash flow from the Partnership's leases will decrease as a
result of the termination of the Gould, Inc. lease for its property in Oxnard,
California. The Partnership received a lump sum payment in January 1998 in
consideration for agreeing to the termination. The lump sum of $1,837,500
represented a significant portion of the remaining lease rentals that would have
been received over the remaining initial term of the Gould lease. Concurrent
with the lease termination, the Partnership entered into a lease with Lockheed
Martin Corporation for a portion of the Oxnard property. Cash flow will benefit
further if Lockheed Martin elects to exercise its option to lease such remaining
space or if the remaining space is leased to others.

                  Because of the net and long-term nature of most of the
Partnership's leases, inflation and changing prices have not unfavorably
affected the Partnership's revenues and net income. Except for the Penn Virginia
Corporation lease, all of the Partnership's leases have provisions providing for
rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer Price
Index and may include caps on such CPI increases, sales overrides or scheduled
mandatory increases which could increase operating revenues in the future. As
the rate of inflation has been moderate in recent years, the Partnership
believes that hotel operations may not be significantly impacted by changing
prices. Management believes that reasonable increases in costs may be partially
or entirely passed through by increases in room rates. Over the past several
years, increases in the average room rate have generally been in excess of the
rate of inflation.


                  Financial Condition

                  The Partnership's cash balances of $3,047,000 as of December
31, 1997 decreased by $2,191,000 from the previous year. Cash flow from
operations of $4,394,000 was sufficient to pay four quarterly distributions of
approximately $4,031,000 and scheduled debt service of $234,000. In addition to
such distributions, the Partnership used its cash reserves to pay a special
distribution of $7.00 per Limited Partnership Unit ($792,000) in the first
quarter of 1997 representing proceeds from 1996 asset sales. The Partnership
also paid a distribution in December 1997 of $10.11 per Limited Partnership Unit
($1,144,000).

                  The distribution paid in December 1997 reflected an exchange
transaction which occurred on January 1, 1998. The majority of the Partnership's
Limited Partners and its General Partners approved a consolidation by merger of
the Partnership with a subsidiary limited partnership of Carey Diversified LLC,
as proposed in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus of Carey
Diversified dated October 16, 1997. In connection with the merger, 3,494 Limited
Partnership Unitholders representing 111,658 Limited Partnership Units elected
to exchange their limited partnership units for interests in Carey Diversified.
The December 1997 distribution was intended to (a) distribute funds in order to
adjust the net assets of the Partnership with the estimate of Total Exchange
Value, as defined in the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus, of those
assets and (b) pay the January distribution.

                  Limited Partners owning 1,542 Limited Partnership Units who
did not elect to receive interests in Carey Diversified have elected to retain a
limited partnership interest in the Partnership as Subsidiary Partnership
Unitholders. Subsidiary Partnership Units have economic interests and legal
rights in the Partnership that are substantially similar to those of Limited
Partnership Units and represent a direct ownership interest in the Partnership.
The holders of Subsidiary Partnership Units will be paid a pro rata share of any
distribution paid by the Partnership to Carey Diversified. The Partnership will
continue to pay distributions on a quarterly basis until liquidating
distributions are made, as described in the Consent Solicitation
Statement/Prospectus. The objective with respect to Subsidiary Partnership Units
will be to pay distributions as if the Consolidation never had occurred based
upon the net cash flows generated by the Partnership.

                  The Partnership's investing activities during 1997 included
$383,000 of costs incurred in connection with the completion of renovations
necessary to bring the Alpena and Petoskey hotels in compliance with the Holiday
Inn hotel modernization plan and replacement of furniture, fixture and equipment
at the hotels. Alpena and Petoskey maintain a reserve of $95,000 for on-going
replacement purchases.

                  DS Group Limited has an option to purchase its leased property
in December 1998 at a purchase price of the greater of $3,000,000 or fair market
value. The DS Group property is not encumbered by mortgage debt and provides for
annual rent of $393,000. If DS Group does not exercise its option, the lease
term will continue until 2010. Penn Virginia Corporation may exercise an option
to purchase its leased properties at any time between August 1998 and August
1999 at a purchase price of the greater of $3,700,000 or fair market value. The
Penn Virginia property is not encumbered by mortgage debt and provides an annual
rent of $499,000. Neither DS Group nor Penn Virginia has indicated whether it
intends to exercise its option. The Penn Virginia lease term expires in 1999.
Penn Virginia also may elect a ten-year renewal option in the event that it does
not exercise its purchase option.

                  All of the Partnership's properties are subject to
environmental statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous
materials and any related remediation obligations. Except for the two hotel
properties, all of the properties are currently net leased to corporate tenants.
The Partnership normally structures its leases to require tenants to comply with
all laws. In addition, substantially all of the Partnership's net leases include
indemnification provisions that require tenants to indemnify the Partnership
from all liabilities and losses related to their operations at the leased
properties. If the Partnership undertakes to clean up or remediate any of its
leased properties, the General Partner believes that in most cases the
Partnership will be entitled to full reimbursement from tenants for such costs.
In the event that the Partnership absorbs a portion of such costs, the General
Partner believes that such expenditures will not have a material adverse effect
on the Partnership's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

                  In 1994, the Partnership voluntarily conducted Phase II
reviews of certain of its properties based on the results of the Phase I
environmental reviews conducted in 1993. The Partnership believes, based on the
results of such reviews, that its leased properties are in substantial
compliance with Federal and state environmental statutes and regulations.
Portions of certain properties have been documented as having a limited degree
of contamination, principally in connection with either leakage from underground
storage tanks or surface spills from facility activities. For those conditions
that were identified, the Partnership advised its tenants of such findings and
of their obligations, if any, to perform any required remediation.

                  In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in full set
general purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 establishes accounting
standards for the way that public business enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. SFAS No. 130 and SFAS No. 131 are required to be adopted by 1998.
The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 130 and
SFAS 131.

                  The Partnership's management company has responsibility for
maintaining the Partnership's books and records and servicing the computer
systems used in maintaining such books and records. In its preliminary
assessment of Year 2000 issues, the management company believes that such issues
will not have a material effect on the Partnership's operations; however such
assessment has not been completed. The Partnership relies on its bank and
transfer agent for certain computer-related services and has initiated
discussions to determine whether they are addressing Year 2000 issues that might
affect the Partnership.

                        REPORT of INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
  Corporate Property Associates 5:



                  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Corporate
Property Associates 5 (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996
and 1997, and the related statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. We have also
audited the financial statement schedule included on pages 22 to 25 of this
Annual Report. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are
the responsibility of the General Partners. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.

                  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the General Partners, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Corporate
Property Associates 5 (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996
and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1997, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial information required to
be included therein pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation
S-X Rule 12-28.

                          NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         Use of Estimates:

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
               accepted accounting principles requires management to make
               estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
               assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
               liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
               reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
               period. The most significant estimates relate to the assessment
               of recoverability of real estate assets. Actual results could
               differ from those estimates.

         Real Estate Leased to Others:

            Real estate is leased to others on a net lease basis, whereby the
               tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses
               relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance,
               maintenance, repairs, renewals and improvements.

            Corporate Property Associates 5 (the "Partnership") diversifies its
               real estate investments among various corporate tenants engaged
               in different industries and by property type throughout the
               United States.

            The leases are accounted for under either the direct financing or
               operating methods. Such methods are described below:

                      Direct financing method - Leases accounted for under the
                      direct financing method are recorded at their net
                      investment (Note 5). Unearned income is deferred and
                      amortized to income over the lease terms so as to produce
                      a constant periodic rate of return on the Partnership's
                      net investment in the lease.

                      Operating method - Under this method, real estate is
                      recorded at cost, rental revenue is recognized on a
                      straight-line basis over the term of the leases and
                      expenses (including depreciation) are charged to
                      operations as incurred.

            The Partnership assesses the recoverability of its real estate
               assets, including residual interests, based on projections of
               undiscounted cash flows over the life of such assets. In the
               event that such cash flows are insufficient, the assets are
               adjusted to their estimated fair value.

            Substantially all of the Partnership's leases provide for either
               scheduled rent increases, periodic rent increases based on
               formulas indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index or
               sales overrides.

         Operating Real Estate:

            Land, buildings and personal property are carried at cost. Major
               renewals and improvements are capitalized to the property
               accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do
               not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are
               expensed currently.

         Depreciation:

            Depreciation is being computed using the straight-line method over
               the estimated useful lives of components of the particular
               properties, which range from 5 to 30 years.

         Cash Equivalents:

            The Partnership considers all short-term, highly liquid investments
               that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of
               generally three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash
               equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include
               commercial paper and money market funds. Substantially all of the
               Partnership's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1996 and
               1997 were held in the custody of three, and two financial
               institutions, respectively.

                    NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued



         Other Assets and Liabilities:

            Included in other assets are deferred charges incurred in connection
               with mortgage note financings and refinancings, an investment in
               a limited partnership and deferred costs of Consolidation (Note
               15). Deferred charges are amortized over the terms of the
               mortgages. The Partnership's 17.5% investment in an unaffiliated
               limited partnership is accounted for under the cost method, i.e.,
               income is recorded based on distributions received from net
               accumulated earnings. Included in other liabilities is deferred
               rental income for the aggregate difference on an operating method
               lease between scheduled rents which vary during the lease term
               and rent recognized on a straight-line basis. Deferred costs of
               Consolidation represent certain costs related to a Consolidation
               transaction which have been capitalized. Such Consolidation costs
               will be included in the revaluation of assets subsequent to
               December 31, 1997.

         Deferred Gain:

            Deferred gain consists of certain funds received in 1992, in
               connection with the loan refinancings of the Alpena and Petoskey,
               Michigan mortgage which are being amortized on a straight-line
               basis over 24 years.

         Income Taxes:

            A partnership is not liable for Federal income taxes as each
               partner recognizes his proportionate share of the partnership
               income or loss in his tax return. Accordingly, no provision for
               income taxes is recognized for financial statement purposes.

         Reclassifications:

            Certain 1995 and 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
               the 1997 financial statement presentation.

 2.     Partnership Agreement:

            The Partnership was organized on April 12, 1983 under the Uniform
               Limited Partnership Act of the State of California for the
               purpose of engaging in the business of investing in and leasing
               industrial and commercial real estate. All the Units were sold
               prior to December 21, 1983, at which time the offering
               terminated. The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2005,
               or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Agreement
               of Limited Partnership (the "Agreement").

            Through December 31, 1997, the Agreement provided that the General
               Partners were allocated 6% (1% to the Individual General Partner,
               and 5% to the Corporate General Partner, Carey Corporate
               Property, Inc.), and the Limited Partners were allocated 94% of
               the profits and losses as well as distributions of Distributable
               Cash From Operations, as defined in the Agreement, as well as net
               proceeds from the sale of Partnership properties. Effective
               January 1, 1998, as a result of the merger (see Note 15) of the
               Partnership with a subsidiary partnership of Carey Diversified
               LLC ("Carey Diversified"), Carey Diversified is the sole general
               partner of the Partnership. Carey Diversified and the holders of
               Subsidiary Partnership Units are allocated 94% of the profits and
               losses and distributable cash, and two special limited partners,
               Carey Management LLC ("Carey Management") and William P. Carey,
               are allocated 5% and 1% of the profits and losses and
               distributable cash from operations, respectively.

                    NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued



            In connection with the merger with Carey Diversified and the listing
               on the New York Stock Exchange, the former Corporate General
               Partner will be entitled to receive a subordinated preferred
               return of $1,422,844 which was measured based upon the cumulative
               proceeds arising from the sale of the Partnership's assets. To
               satisfy the conditions for receiving the preferred return, the
               shares of Carey Diversified must achieve a closing price equal to
               or in excess of $23.11 for five consecutive trading days. The
               General Partner believes that it is probable, as defined pursuant
               to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, that the
               conditions for paying the preferred return will be achieved, and
               the full amount of the subordinated preferred return is included
               in accounts payable to affiliates as of December 31, 1997 in the
               accompanying financial statements.

            In accordance with the Agreement, the former General Partners, as a
               result of having negative capital balances at the beginning of
               each year, were allocated a portion of the 1995, 1996 and 1997
               gains on sale of property as well as the related tax gain in
               order to reduce their negative balances. The Partnership paid a
               special distribution in 1995 of proceeds from a property sale.
               The distribution was allocated 1% to the Individual General
               Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners in accordance with the
               Agreement.

3.      Transactions with Related Parties:

            The Partnership holds a 65% undivided interest as tenants-in-common
               in hotel properties in Alpena and Petoskey, Michigan with
               Corporate Property Associates 6 ("CPA(R):6"), an affiliate which
               owns the remaining 35% interest. The Partnership accounts for its
               interest in the Alpena and Petoskey properties on a proportional
               basis.

            Under the Agreement, W.P. Carey & Co., Inc. ("W.P. Carey") and other
               affiliates were also entitled to receive a property management
               fee and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in connection
               with the Partnership's operations. General and administrative
               expense reimbursements consist primarily of the actual cost of
               personnel needed in providing administrative services necessary
               to the operation of the Partnership. Effective January 1, 1998,
               the fees and reimbursements are payable to Carey Management, an
               affiliate of Carey Diversified. Property management fee and
               general and administrative expense reimbursements are summarized
               as follows:



                                                                          1995             1996              1997

                                                                        --------         --------          --------
                                                                        $234,409         $190,051          $263,961
                                                                        ========         ========          ========



            During 1995, 1996 and 1997, fees aggregating $180,242, $91,265 and
               $63,323, respectively, were incurred for legal services performed
               by a firm in which the Secretary, until July 1997, of the
               Corporate General Partner and other affiliates is a partner.

            The mortgage loans on the Alpena and Petoskey properties consist of
               tax-exempt bond obligations of $7,150,000 for each property of
               which the Partnership's share of each is $4,647,500. The bonds
               are also collateralized by mortgage and/or lease assignments on
               eight other Partnership properties. In the event of default, the
               bondholders have recourse to the Partnership's collateral to the
               full extent of the outstanding balance of the bonds including the
               portion of the obligation applicable to CPA(R):6. In connection
               with restructuring the bond obligation in 1992, the Partnership
               received cash and other consideration from CPA(R):6.

            The Partnership is a participant in an agreement with W.P. Carey and
               other affiliates for the purpose of leasing office space used for
               the administration of real estate entities and W.P. Carey and for
               sharing the associated costs. Pursuant to the terms of the
               agreement, the Partnership's share of rental, occupancy and
               leasehold improvement costs is based on adjusted gross revenues,
               as defined. Net expenses incurred in 1995, 1996 and 1997 were
               $182,843, $83,533 and $63,108, respectively.

4.      Real Estate Leased to Others Accounted for Under the Operating Method
        and Operating Real Estate:

      A.    Real Estate Leased to Others:

            Scheduled future minimum rents, exclusive of renewals, under
               noncancellable operating leases amount to approximately
               $1,355,000 in 1998, $1,179,000 in 1999, $793,000 in 2000 and
               $477,000 each of the years 2001 to 2002, and aggregate
               approximately $6,456,000 through 2010.

10.     Property in Oxnard, California:

            In November 1985, the Partnership purchased land and building for
               $9,840,500 and entered into a net lease with Gould, Inc.
               ("Gould"). The Gould lease provided for an initial term of
               fourteen years ending November 30, 1999 with multiple five-year
               renewal terms at Gould's option.

            On November 12, 1997, the Partnership and Gould entered into an
               agreement to terminate the lease effective October 1, 1997 with a
               remaining obligation on the part of Gould to perform certain
               repairs to the building. In consideration for the termination of
               the lease, Gould paid a termination fee of $1,837,500 in January
               1998.

            On October 1, 1997, the Partnership entered into a lease with
               Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed") for approximately 48% of
               the leaseable space. The Lockheed lease provides for an initial
               term through August 31, 2000 with options for two one-year
               renewal terms. Annual rent is $360,000 increasing to $475,000 in
               December 1999. In the event that the Partnership receives a bona
               fide offer to lease the remaining space, Lockheed will have a
               right of first refusal. If the remaining space is vacant,
               Lockheed can exercise the right to occupy such space.

            The termination fee is being amortized through November 1999.


11.     Funds in Escrow:

            Funds in escrow at December 31, 1996 and 1997 consist of reserves
               and escrow funds for the hotel properties and related mortgage
               debt.

12.     Gains and Losses on the Sale of Real Estate:

        Industrial General Corp.:

            In August 1985, the Partnership purchased from and net leased to
               Industrial General Corporation ("IGC") and certain of its
               wholly-owned subsidiaries, seven properties located in Elyria and
               Bellville, Ohio; Forrest City and Bald Knob, Arkansas; Carthage,
               New York; and Newburyport, Massachusetts. Subsequent to the
               purchase, the Partnership agreed to exchange the Saginaw property
               for an expansion of the Newburyport facility, severed the
               Carthage property from the lease and entered into a lease with
               FMP/Rauma Company ("FMP"). In December 1994, the Partnership sold
               the Forrest City property.

            In July 1995, IGC filed a voluntary petition of bankruptcy under
               Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection
               with an asset acquisition of the plastics division of IGC, on
               September 14, 1995, the Partnership entered into a series of
               transactions which resulted in the termination of the IGC lease,
               the sale of the Bald Knob, Bellville and Newburyport properties
               and the full satisfaction of the mortgage loan obligation
               collateralized by all of the IGC properties and the FMP property
               which had been scheduled to mature on September 1, 1995. In
               connection with the sale of the Bald Knob property to IGC, the
               Partnership received cash of $987,362 and IGC, with the consent
               of the mortgage lender, assumed a mortgage obligation from the
               Partnership of $720,401 and accrued interest thereon of $5,780.
               Additionally, IGC agreed to pay an additional $200,000 in
               installments to the Partnership of which $185,000 had been
               received as of December 31, 1997. The Bellville and Newburyport
               properties were sold for $2,400,000 in cash to G.I. Plastek
               Industrial Properties Limited Partnership ("Plastek Properties"),
               an affiliate of G.I. Plastek Limited Partnership ("Plastek")
               which acquired the assets of the IGC plastics division.

               The Partnership used $2,200,000 of the proceeds to pay off the
               remaining balance on the matured mortgage loan obligation on the
               IGC and FMP properties. In connection with the sale of the three
               properties, the Partnership realized a loss of $1,719,828.

            The Partnership also purchased limited partnership interests in
               Plastek. The Partnership made capital contributions of $175 and
               $1,750,000 for Class A and Class B limited partnership interests,
               respectively. The Class A interest provides for a 17.5%
               participation in the profits and losses of Plastek after payment
               of preferred returns to Class B interests. Class B interests are
               entitled to a cumulative preferred return of 10% on their
               contributions; however, they do not participate in nor receive
               other allocations of any gains or losses of Plastek. The Class B
               interest is redeemable on September 8, 2000. As of December 31,
               1997, the Partnership has not received any distributions.

                    NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued



            The Partnership retains ownership of the Elyria property. In 1995,
               based on the appraised value of the property and the costs that
               would need to be incurred to prepare the property for sale or
               lease after IGC vacated, the Partnership wrote off the value of
               the property and recognized a charge of $691,640.

         Liberty Fabrics of New York:

            In January 1984, the Partnership purchased properties in
               Gordonsville, Virginia and in North Bergen, New Jersey and
               entered into a net lease with Liberty Fabrics of New York
               ("Liberty"). In December 1993, Liberty notified the Partnership
               of its intention to exercise its purchase option on the
               properties. Pursuant to the lease, the purchase price would be
               the greater of $7,000,000, the Partnership's purchase price for
               the property, or fair market value as encumbered by the lease.

            On December 29, 1994, the Partnership and Liberty terminated the
               lease and agreed that the properties would be transferred to
               Liberty for $9,359,000, subject to a final determination of the
               fair value of the property. The final determination was made with
               no adjustment made to the fair market value thereby completing
               the sale. As a result, the Partnership recognized a gain of
               $2,334,062 in 1995 on the sale of the properties.

        Rapid City Hotel:

            In 1985, the Partnership purchased a hotel in Rapid City, South
               Dakota, which was operated as a Holiday Inn, with $6,800,000 of
               tax-exempt bonds which were supported by a letter of credit
               issued by a third party. In September 1994, the Partnership was
               advised by Holiday Inn that it would need to upgrade the hotel's
               physical plant by January 1997 in order to meet the requirements
               of a modernization plan adopted by Holiday Inn or surrender its
               Holiday Inn license. Management concluded that such additional
               investment required was not in the best interests of the
               Partnership and determined to sell the property.

            In 1995, the Partnership reevaluated the net realizable value of the
               property and recognized a noncash charge of $1,000,000 on the
               writedown. In the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership charged
               an additional $1,300,000 as a writedown to fair value to an
               amount Management believed would approximate the proceeds from a
               sale.

            On October 1, 1996, the Partnership sold the property and the
               operating assets and liabilities of the hotel for $4,105,000. The
               Partnership recognized a gain of $784,618 on the sale in 1996,
               and the bonds were paid off. The gain includes the recognition of
               the release of unamortized deferred gains relating to the
               acquisition of the hotel operation in 1991 from the former
               lessee.

        Helena, Montana Office Building:

            In May 1985, the Partnership purchased an office building in Helena,
               Montana and was assigned an existing net lease with IBM
               Corporation ("IBM") as lessee. In 1992, the lease with IBM and
               the mortgage loan on the property were modified at which time IBM
               reduced its occupancy from 100% to 40% of the leasable space. The
               Partnership subsequently leased the remaining space to various
               other tenants.

            On January 19, 1996, the Partnership sold the property for
               $4,800,000 including the purchaser's assumption of the existing
               mortgage loan on the property. Net of closing costs, the
               Partnership received cash proceeds of $1,741,261, assigned the
               mortgage loan obligation of $2,854,275 and accrued interest
               thereon of $12,049 to the purchaser and recognized a gain of
               $90,356 on the sale in 1996.

        GATX Logistics, Inc.:

            In June 1985, the Partnership purchased a warehouse property in
               Hodgkins, Illinois leased to General Motors Corporation ("GM").
               In November 1993, GM terminated its lease and the Partnership
               entered into a short-term lease with GATX Logistics,
               Inc.("GATX"). Subsequently, in November 1994, GATX and the
               Partnership entered into a new lease which provided for a
               five-year term and a renewal term of five years at GATX's option.

            On April 9, 1996, the Partnership sold the Hodgkins property for
               $13,200,000 and assigned the GATX lease, as lessor, to the
               purchaser. Net of costs and amounts necessary to pay the
               remaining $3,208,526 balance on the property's mortgage loan, the
               Partnership received cash proceeds of $9,428,270 and recognized a
               gain on sale in 1996 of $4,409,191.

        Arley Merchandise Corporation:

            The Partnership owned two properties in Sumter and Columbia, South
               Carolina that were leased to Arley Merchandise Corporation
               ("Arley"). In July 1997, the Arley lease was terminated by the
               Bankruptcy Court in connection with Arley's voluntary petition of
               bankruptcy. In connection with the termination of the lease, the
               Partnership wrote off $300,000 of uncollected rents and wrote
               down the Arley properties by $1,350,000.

            In May 1997, the lender on the limited recourse mortgage loan
               collateralized by the Arley properties made a demand for payment
               for the entire outstanding principal balance of the loan of
               $4,754,940. The loan had initially matured in January 1993, at
               which time the lender and the Partnership entered into a
               forbearance agreement and attempted to reach an agreement to
               restructure the loan. Such an agreement was not reached and the
               forbearance agreement expired July 1, 1995.

            In June 1997, the lender initiated a lawsuit for the purpose of
               foreclosing on the Arley properties. The Partnership did not
               contest the lender's actions, and on November 17, 1997, the
               ownership of the Arley properties was transferred to the lender
               and the loan obligation was canceled. Since the loan was limited
               recourse, the lender's sole recourse was to the Arley properties
               and certain deposits. In connection with the foreclosure, the
               Partnership recognized a gain of $956,829 on the difference
               between liabilities forgiven and assets surrendered.

13.     Environmental Matters:

            All of the Partnership's properties, other than the hotel properties
               are currently leased to corporate tenants, all of which are
               subject to environmental statutes and regulations regarding the
               discharge of hazardous materials and related remediation
               obligations. The Partnership generally structures a lease to
               require the tenant to comply with all laws. In addition,
               substantially all of the Partnership's net leases include
               provisions which require tenants to indemnify the Partnership
               from all liabilities and losses related to their operations at
               the leased properties. The costs for remediation, which are
               expected to be performed and paid by the affected tenant, are not
               expected to be material. In the event that the Partnership
               absorbs a portion of any costs, the General Partner believes such
               expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on the
               Partnership's financial condition, liquidity or results of
               operations.

            In 1994, based on the results of Phase I environmental reviews
               performed in 1993, the Partnership voluntarily conducted Phase II
               environmental reviews on certain of its properties. The
               Partnership believes, based on the results of Phase I and Phase
               II reviews, that its leased properties are in substantial
               compliance with Federal and state environmental statutes and
               regulations. Portions of certain properties have been documented
               as having a limited degree of contamination, principally in
               connection with surface spills from facility activities and
               leakage from underground storage tanks. For those conditions that
               were identified, the Partnership advised the affected tenants of
               the Phase II findings and of their obligations to perform
               required remediation.

14.     Disclosure on Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

            The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and accounts payable and
               accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short
               maturity of these items.

            The Partnership estimates that the fair value of mortgage notes
               payable approximates $13,914,000 and $9,420,000 at December 31,
               1996 and 1997, respectively. The fair value of debt instruments
               was evaluated using a discounted cash flow model with discount
               rates which take into account the credit of the tenants and
               interest rate risk. Management believes that it is not
               practicable to estimate fair value for the note payable to
               affiliate.

            The carrying amount of the Partnership's limited partnership
               investment in Plastek, which interest was purchased in September
               1995 and which is accounted for under the cost method,
               approximates fair value.

15.     Exchange of Limited Partnership Units:

            On October 16, 1997, Carey Diversified distributed a Consent
               Solicitation Statement/Prospectus to the Limited Partners that
               described a proposal to consolidate the Partnership with the
               other CPA(R) Partnerships. The General Partners' proposals that
               each of the nine CPA(R) limited partnerships be merged with a
               corresponding subsidiary partnership of Carey Diversified, of
               which Carey Diversified is the general partner, was approved by
               the Limited Partners of all nine of the CPA(R) limited
               partnerships. Each limited partner had the option of either
               exchanging his or her limited partnership interest for an
               interest in Carey Diversified ("Listed Shares") or to retain a
               limited partnership interest in the subsidiary partnership
               ("Subsidiary Partnership Units"). On January 1, 1998, 3,494
               holders representing 111,658 of the 113,200 limited partnership
               units

               exchanged such units for 2,051,157 Listed Shares with 48 holders
               with the remaining 1,542 limited partnership units exchanging
               such units for Subsidiary Partnership Units.

            Listed shares commenced public trading on the New York Stock
               Exchange on January 21, 1998. Subsidiary Partnership Units
               provide substantially the same economic interests and legal
               rights as those of a limited partnership unit in the Partnership,
               but are not listed on a securities exchange. A liquidating
               distribution to holders of Subsidiary Partnership Units will be
               made after an appraisal of the Partnership's properties which
               date is to be no later than December 31, 2001.

16.     Accounting Pronouncements:

            In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
               Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
               SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
               Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for
               reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
               (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in full set general
               purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 131 establishes accounting
               standards for the way that public business enterprises report
               selected information about operating segments in interim
               financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS No. 130 and SFAS
               No. 131 are required to be adopted by 1998. The Partnership is
               currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 130 and SFAS
               131.
