                                    ------
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 August 9, 1979. The General Partners of Registrant are W. P.
Carey & Co., Inc. (the "Corporate General Partner" or "W.P. Carey") and William
Polk Carey (the "Individual General Partner"). The Corporate General Partner,
the Individual General Partner and/or certain affiliates are also the General
Partners of Corporate Property Associates ("CPA(R):1"), Corporate Property
Associates 3 ("CPA(R):3"), Corporate Property Associates 4, a California limited
partnership ("CPA(R):4"), Corporate Property Associates 5 ("CPA(R):5"),
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"), Corporate Property Associates 9, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("CPA(R):9") and the advisor of Corporate Property Associates 10
Incorporated ("CPA(R):10"), Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated
("CIP(TM)") and Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated ("CPA(R):12").
Registrant has a management agreement with Carey Corporate Property Management
Company ("Carey Management"), a division of W.P. Carey. According to the terms
of this agreement, Carey Management performs a variety of management services
for Registrant. Registrant has entered into agreements with Fifth Rock L.P., an
affiliate, for the purpose of leasing office space. Reference is made to the
Prospectus of Registrant dated January 18, 1980, as supplemented by a Supplement
dated May 7, 1980, filed pursuant to Rules 424(b) and 424(C) under the
Securities Act of 1933 and such Prospectus and such Supplement are incorporated
herein by reference (said Prospectus, as so supplemented, is hereinafter called
the "Prospectus").

        Registrant has only one industry segment which consists of the
investment in and the leasing of industrial and commercial real estate. See
Selected Financial Data in Item 6 for a summary of Registrant's operations. Also
see the material contained in the Prospectus under the heading INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.

        The properties owned by Registrant are described in Properties in Item
2. Registrant's entire net proceeds from the public offering, less any return of
capital and a working capital reserve have been fully invested in net leased
commercial and industrial real estate since November 30, 1982, the date of
Registrant's final real estate acquisition.

        For the year ended December 31, 1995, revenues from properties occupied
by tenants which accounted for 10% or more of operating revenue were as follows:
Gibson Greetings, Inc. ("Gibson"), 35%; Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource"),
27% and Pre Finish, Metals, Inc, ("Pre Finish") 19%. No other property owned by
Registrant accounted for 10% or more of its total operating revenues during
1994. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements in Item 8.

        Except for untenanted properties in Reno, Nevada and Greensboro, North
Carolina all of Registrant's real estate 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 for its leased
properties and primary property and liability coverage for the Reno and
Greensboro properties as well as its property in Maumelle, Arkansas which is
reimbursed by tenants. 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 properties and settle
liabilities.

        As described above, lessees retain the obligation for the operating
expenses of their leased properties so that, other than rental income, there are
no significant operating data (i.e. expenses) reportable on Registrant's leased
properties. As discussed in Registrant's Management's Discussion and Analysis in
Item

                                     - 1 -

 
7, Registrant's leases generally provide for periodic rent increases which are
either stated and negotiated at the inception of the lease or based on formulas
indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index. Registrant's leases have
initial lease terms which generally end between 2001 and 2013 with such leases
providing for multiple renewal terms of generally five or ten years.
Registrant's leases with Pre Finish, Unisource, Gibson and Cleo, Inc. ("Cleo")
include purchase options which provide for purchase of leased properties
exercisable at the greater of fair market value, as defined in the lease, or a
stated amount. No purchase options are exercisable until June 1998.

        As Registrant's objective has been to invest in properties which are
occupied by a single corporate tenant and subject to long-term net leases with
such lease obligation backed by the credit of the corporate lessee, Registrant's
properties have not been 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 which included
operations of material importance to the lessee so that the lessee may 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 believes that
this strategy reduces its exposure to the competitive conditions of the local
and regional real estate markets. Because Registrant may 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 in addition to
achieving geographical diversification.

        Registrant's strategy in acquiring long-term real estate investments
which are not greatly impacted by current competitive conditions has been
effective for leases with AT&T Corporation, Gibson, Pre Finish, Unisource and
Cleo and are not scheduled to expire until after the year 2000.

        In April 1995, Registrant entered into a lease with Sports & Recreation,
Inc. ("Sports & Recreation") for Registrant's property in Moorestown, New Jersey
which it owns as a tenant-in-common with CPA(R):3. Sports & Recreation is
currently retrofitting the building for use as a retail store. At the earlier of
May 1, 1996 or the end of the construction period, a 16 year lease term will
commence. Registrant's share of annual rentals will be approximately $121,000
during the first five years with stated increases every five years thereafter.
Registrant and CPA(R):3 have an obligation to reimburse Sports & Recreation for
the costs of replacing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and
installing a new roof and drainage system. Registrant's share of such costs is
estimated to be approximately $292,000.

        In November 1995, Registrant and CPA(R):3 which own three properties
leased to Gibson agreed to restructure the Gibson lease and consented to
severing one of the properties from the master lease and entered into a new
lease for such property with Cleo. In connection with consenting to this
restructuring, Registrant received a one-time lump sum payment of $3,477,000. As
amended, Gibson's lease for the properties in Berea, Kentucky and Cincinnati,
Ohio were extended through November 2013 from January 2002. Registrant's share
of annual rents on the two remaining properties will be approximately $733,000,
with 20% increase every five years. In addition, Gibson will have purchase
options to purchase either or both of its leased properties in 2005 and 2010.
The Cleo lease for the property formerly leased to Gibson in Memphis, Tennessee
provides for a ten-year lease term with a rent increase in January 2001.
Registrant's current share of annual rentals is $355,000. Although annual
rentals from the three properties decreased as a result of the modification of
the leases, cash flow will increase as a mortgage loan which was collateralized
by the three properties was paid off at the time the modification agreement was
executed.

        In February 1995, Maybelline Products Co. ("Maybelline") net leased 50%
of the available space at the Registrant's distribution facility property in
Maumelle for approximately two years with three two-year renewal options.
Shortly thereafter, Registrant entered into a lease with A-Pak Packaging, Inc.
("A-Pak") for the remaining space. During the fourth fiscal quarter, A-Pak
declared bankruptcy and is in the process of liquidating its assets. Registrant
is currently negotiating a lease with a new lessee which will be retroactive to
February 1996. Due to the short-term nature of the leases at this property,
Registrant's rents are based on the competitive rates for this property.

                                     - 2 -

 
        Registrant voluntarily performed initial environmental reviews of all of
its properties in 1993. Registrant believes, based on the results of such
reviews and Phase II environmental reviews of four of its properties in 1994,
that its properties are in substantial compliance with Federal and state
environmental statutes and regulations. Phase II reviews were performed only on
certain properties based on the recommendations of the Phase I reviews. Portions
of certain properties have been subject to a limited degree of contamination,
principally in connection with either leakage from underground storage tanks or
surface spills from facility activities. In many instances, tenants are actively
engaged in the remediation process and addressing identified conditions. For
those conditions which were identified, Registrant advised its tenants of such
findings and of their obligations to perform additional investigations and 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 adverse
effect on Registrant's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

        Registrant does not have any employees. The Corporate General Partner of
Registrant together with its affiliates employ twelve individuals who perform
accounting, secretarial and transfer services for Registrant. Gemisys, Inc. also
performs certain transfer services for Registrant and The Bank of New York
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 to Registrant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Results of Operations
        ---------------------

        Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $864,000 as
compared with net income for the prior year.  Of such increase, $123,000 was due
to nonrecurring items which are classified as other income in the accompanying
Financial Statements.  Excluding the effects of the nonrecurring items and the
$446,000 writedown of a property to net realizable value in 1994, the
Partnership would have reflected an increase in income of $295,000.  The
increase in income, as adjusted, was due to decreases in interest and property
expenses and was partially offset by a modest decrease in lease revenues.  The
decrease in interest expense resulted from the prepayment of three mortgage
loans on properties leased or formerly leased to New Valley Corporation ("New
Valley") in the first quarter of 1995 and the prepayment of the mortgage loan on
the Gibson Greetings, Inc. ("Gibson"), properties in November 1995 in connection
with the restructuring of the Gibson lease.  The decrease in property expenses
was due to the costs incurred in 1994 in connection with the Partnership's
assessment of its liquidity alternatives which included environmental reviews
and  property valuations.  Lease revenues decreased by $59,000 as the result of
the restructuring of the Gibson lease, as described below, and the termination
of the New Valley lease in Reno, Nevada on December 31, 1994.  The Gibson and
New Valley decreases were partially offset by the leasing of the Maumelle,
Arkansas distribution facility in 1995 to Maybelline Products Co. Inc.
("Maybelline") and A-Pak Packaging, Inc. ("A-Pak").  The substantial increase in
cash flow provided from operations was primarily due to the receipt of a lump
sum payment of $3,477,000 ($3,238,000, net of costs) in connection with the
Gibson lease restructuring.

        As more fully described in Note 11 to the Financial Statements, the
Partnership received the lump sum payment of $3,477,000 in connection with the
modification of the Gibson lease. The Partnership severed one of three
properties from the Gibson master lease, modified the master lease for the
remaining two properties and entered into a new lease with a new lessee, Cleo,
Inc. ("Cleo"), at the severed property. Annual gross revenue from the three
properties subsequent to these modifications has been reduced. For financial
reporting purposes, income from this transaction has been deferred and will be
recognized over the remaining terms of the Gibson and Cleo leases.

        Net income for the year ended December 31, 1994 decreased as compared
with the year ended December 31, 1993. The results of operations for the year
are not directly comparable as the year ended December 31, 1993 includes the
gain on the sale of the Heekin Can, Inc. ("Heekin") properties, the related
extraordinary charge on the prepayment of the Heekin mortgage debt as well as
$885,000 of operating income (rental income of $1,367,000 less interest expense
of $435,000 and property management fees of $47,000) from the Heekin properties
prior to the sale. Excluding the effect of income from the Heekin properties
prior to the 1993 sale, income before gains on sale and extraordinary items
would have increased by $396,000 in 1993 as compared with 1994. Accordingly,
cash provided from operations decreased by $323,000 in 1994 as compared with
1993, after adjusting for the $885,000 provided to operations by the Heekin
properties in 1993. Lease revenues for 1994 decreased by $1,582,000 as a result
of the Heekin disposition and the decrease in rentals of $234,000 from the
Maumelle, Arkansas property which was vacated by Family Dollar Stores Inc. in
March 1994.

        The Partnership expects the trend of decreasing interest expense to
continue due to the satisfaction of the mortgage loans on the New Valley and
Gibson Properties in 1995 and the satisfaction of the mortgage loan on the Pre
Finish Metals Incorporated ("Pre Finish") property which is scheduled to fully
amortize in 1997. In addition, cash flow should benefit from scheduled rent
increases over the next several years. Effective January 1996, the equity
component of the Pre Finish rent has increased by $24,000 per annum. There are
also scheduled increases in 1997 on the New Valley and AT&T Corporation leases.
In May 1996, the Partnership is scheduled to start receiving rent of $121,000
per year from its lease with Sports & Recreation, Inc. ("Sports & Recreation")
on the Moorestown, New Jersey property. Sports & Recreation is in the process of
retrofitting the Moorestown property for use as a retail store. Annual rentals
on the two Gibson properties and the Cleo property which had formerly been
leased to Gibson are $733,000 and $355,000, respectively. Prior to the
modification of the Gibson lease, the Partnership's annual rentals from the
properties were $1,848,000. Although annual revenues from these properties will
be reduced by $760,000, the

                                     - 2 -

 
Partnership had been paying annual debt service of $1,166,000 on the Gibson
mortgage loan which is no longer being paid.  Therefore, annual cash flow from
the Gibson and Cleo properties will reflect an increase of $406,000 in spite of
the reduction in rental income.  The Gibson mortgage loan had been scheduled to
mature with a balloon payment of $5,872,000 in 1996 and the Partnership would
have attempted to refinance the loan at that time.  It is possible that the
Partnership would have realized a reduction in debt service on any refinancing.

        In the fourth quarter of 1995, A-Pak filed a petition of bankruptcy and
vacated its space at the Maumelle facility. The Partnership is in the process of
negotiating a short-term lease (approximately two years) for the space at an
amount similar to the rent paid by A-Pak. The Partnership's lease with
Maybelline which provides annual rentals of $156,000 expires on December 31,
1996 and includes three two-year renewal terms at Maybelline's option. Although
lease revenue may decrease as a result of the Gibson modification, cash flow
from operating activities should remain stable or increase. Cash flow from
operating activities would be reduced if Maybelline does not renew its lease.
The Partnership is currently attempting to remarket the property in Reno. Annual
carrying costs for the Reno property are currently $80,000 and annual carrying
costs on the Greensboro property are estimated to be less than $10,000. The
Partnership is currently negotiating to lease the Greensboro property which
provided annual revenue of $21,000 under a prior lease which terminated in 1995.
As a result of restructuring the Gibson lease, the Partnership's annual revenues
from Gibson will decrease from 35% to approximately 17% of lease revenues
providing greater diversification; however, the impact of the restructuring will
increase lease rentals received from Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource") to
approximately 30%. As Gibson, Pre Finish and Unisource, will represent
approximately 70% of lease revenues in 1996 and thereafter, the Partnership
would be significantly affected if any of these lessees could not meet their
lease obligations. There is no indication that any of these three lessees is
currently experiencing financial difficulties. The Partnership may incur costs
in the future in connection with a reassessment of liquidity alternatives.

        Because of the long-term nature of the Partnership's net leases,
inflation and changes in prices have not unfavorably affected the Partnership's
net income or had an impact on the continuing operations of the Partnership's
properties. All of the Partnership's net leases have either periodic mandated
rent increases, sales overrides or periodic rent increases based on formulas
indexed to increases in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"), and may have caps on
such CPI increases. Although increases in the CPI have been relatively moderate
over the past several years, the Partnership should not be significantly
impacted as several of its leases provide for stated rent increases rather than
increases based on CPI formulas.

        Financial Condition
        -------------------

        Except for the vacant properties in Reno, Nevada and Greensboro, North
Carolina, all of the Partnership's properties are leased to corporate tenants
under net leases which generally require the tenants to pay all operating
expenses relating to the leased properties. The Partnership depends on a
relatively stable operating cash flow from its net leases to meet operating
expenses and fund quarterly distributions to partners. The capital structure of
the Partnership changed significantly during the year as its mortgage debt
decreased by approximately 54% due to the prepayment of four mortgage loans. Of
the Partnership's two remaining mortgage loans, one has a balloon payment
scheduled in 1996 with the other loan fully amortizing in 1998. Primarily as a
result of the $8,495,000 pay down of mortgage debt, the Partnership's cash
balances decreased by $3,608,000 to $578,000.

        Cash provided from operations increased by $3,393,000 to $6,164,000 with
most of the increase related to the receipt of the lump sum payment from Gibson.
The net proceeds from the Gibson transaction were used to satisfy a mortgage
loan, and the remaining $2,926,000 of cash provided from operations along with
$56,000 of cash reserves were used to pay quarterly distributions to partners
and scheduled principal payments on mortgages.

        Cash reserves utilized in paying distributions include cash that was
provided by operating activities in prior periods as well as cash provided by
investing activities. As the cash flow from operating and investing activities
may exceed earnings, distributions may also be in excess of net income per
Limited Partnership Unit. During the five year period ended December 31, 1995,
1993 is the only year in which distributions exceeded net income. In 1993,
limited partner distributions exceeded net income per Limited

                                     - 3 -

 
Partnership Unit income by $125.02.  This was primarily due to the special
distribution of $260 per Unit from proceeds of the Heekin sale.  The per Unit
earnings from the gain on the sale of the Heekin properties, net of charges
related to paying off the related mortgage debt, was $141.42.

        The Partnership's financing activities in 1995 consisted of the
prepayment of four of the Partnership's mortgage loans, meeting scheduled
principal payments on debt and payment of distributions to the partners of
$1,492,000. In order to take advantage of the benefits created by the
restructuring of the Gibson lease and the opportunity to retire above-market
rate mortgage debt, the Partnership used substantially all of its cash reserves
and proceeds from the Gibson lease restructuring payment to fund the retirement
of various loans. In addition, the Partnership executed a loan, payable on
demand, of $250,000 from the Corporate General Partner in order to support cash
reserves. The loan was repaid in March 1996. As a result of the modification of
the Gibson lease, and the retirement of high rate debt the Partnership expanded
its unused borrowing capacity and expects that future cash flows from operations
will increase.

        The Partnership may require additional loans from the Corporate General
Partner to fund short term liquidity needs while it reviews existing loans and
unleveraged properties for appropriate refinancing opportunities. The
Partnership anticipates the payment of a special distribution to partners of $15
per Limited Partnership Unit, subject to certain conditions, in connection with
the benefits realized from the Gibson lease restructuring. Future operating cash
flows from operations are expected to remain stable or increase as a result of
the loan prepayment and lease modification transactions accomplished in 1995.
The Partnership's expected cash flows from operations are expected to be
adequate to allow it to meet its operating cash needs and satisfy its recurring
quarterly distribution objectives. In addition, the Partnership's unused
borrowing capacity should be sufficient to satisfy repayment of maturing debt
and other capital requirements, if necessary.

        The Partnership's investing activity for the periods presented in the
financial statements consists primarily of proceeds from sales of real estate in
1993 and 1994. Pursuant to its lease with Sports & Recreation, the Partnership
has an obligation to reimburse Sports & Recreation for certain retrofitting
costs which are currently estimated to be $292,000. It is currently anticipated
that such costs will be funded from operating cash flow; however, as described
above, the Partnership may need to utilize certain of the additional amounts
advanced by the Corporate General Partner.

        Beginning June 30, 1998, Pre Finish has an option to purchase its leased
property upon six months notice with such option period ending in 2003. The
option would be exercisable at the greater of fair marketable value or
$5,249,000 plus 2 1/2% thereof compounded from December 1998 to the closing
date. As the mortgage loan on the Pre Finish property will have amortized by the
June 30, 1998, the Partnership would retain full proceeds of a sale. Annual cash
flow (rentals less debt service on the mortgage loan) from the Pre Finish
property is $331,000. In addition, Cleo has an option to purchase its property
which is exercisable at any time with at least six months notice.

        In connection with the termination of the Moorestown and Reno leases,
the Partnership expects to receive a bankruptcy settlement; however, the amount
of such settlement cannot be estimated and no amounts that the Partnership may
ultimately receive have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

        The Partnership's mortgage loan on the Unisource property is scheduled
to mature in May 1996. The Partnership is in the process of seeking to refinance
the loan for an amount necessary to satisfy the balloon payment. In the unlikely
event that the Partnership is unable to refinance the Unisource loan, the
Partnership lacks the funds to pay such loan off from its current cash reserves
in which event it could attempt to obtain mortgage financing on unleveraged
properties. As the Unisource mortgage loan is a nonrecourse obligation, the
Partnership would be responsible for the balloon payment only to the extent of
its interest in the encumbered property because the holder of such obligation
has recourse only to the property collateralizing such debt. In the event that
the balloon payment is not made, the Partnership could seek to restructure the
debt with the existing lenders, or sell the property and use the sales proceeds
to satisfy the mortgage debt.

                                     - 4 -

 
        All of the Partnership's properties are subject to environmental
statutes and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and
related remediation obligations. All but two of the Partnership's properties are
currently leased to corporate tenants. 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. If the Partnership undertakes to clean up
or remediate any of its properties, the General Partners believe that in most
cases the Partnership will be entitled to reimbursement from tenants for such
costs. In the event that the Partnership absorbs a portion of such costs because
of a tenant's failure to fulfill its obligations (or because a property
currently has no tenant), the General Partners believe 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 environmental
reviews of certain of its properties based on the results of Phase I
environmental reviews conducted in 1993. The Partnership believes, based on the
results of such reviews, that its 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 which were
identified, the Partnership advised the affected tenant of the Phase II findings
and of its obligation to perform required remediation.

        Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS
121"). Pursuant to SFAS 121, the Partnership assesses the recoverability of its
real estate assets, including residual interests, based on projections of cash
flows over the life of such assets. In the event that such cash flows are
insufficient, the assets are adjusted to their estimated net realizable value.
The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations.

                       REPORT of INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
 Corporate Property Associates 2:

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Corporate Property
Associates 2 (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995, and the related statements of income, partners' capital and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. We have also
audited the financial statement schedule included on pages 19 to 21 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 2 (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation as of December 31, 1995, 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.

                       (a California limited partnership)

                         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. 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.

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 - Real estate is recorded at cost, revenue is recognized as
- ----------------
rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to
operations as incurred.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement
  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for the Impairment of
  Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121").
  Pursuant to SFAS 121, the Partnership assesses the recoverability of its real
  estate assets, including residual interests, based on projections of cash
  flows over the life of such assets. In the event that such cash flows are
  insufficient, the assets are adjusted to their estimated net realizable value.
  The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's
  financial condition or results of operations.

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 ("CPI") or sales overrides.

Depreciation:
- ------------
 Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives of components of the particular properties, which range from 5
   to 35 years.

Cash Equivalents:
- ----------------

 Corporate Property Associates 2 (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

                                   Continued

                   NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

   equivalents include commercial paper and money market funds. Substantially
   all of the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1994 and
   1995 were held in the custody of three and two financial institutions,
   respectively.

Other Assets:
- -------------

  Included in other assets are deferred charges which are costs incurred in
    connection with mortgage note refinancing and are amortized on a straight-
    line basis over the terms of the mortgages.

Income Taxes:
- -------------

  A partnership is not liable for 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.

2.  Partnership Agreement:
    ----------------------

      The Partnership was organized on August 9, 1979 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.  The Corporate General Partner purchased 200 Limited
        Partnership Units in connection with the Partnership's public offering.
        The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2017, or sooner, in
        accordance with the terms of the Amended Agreement of Limited
        Partnership (the "Agreement").

      The Agreement provides that the General Partners are allocated 1% (1/10 of
        1% to the Individual General Partner, William P. Carey, and 9/10 of 1%
        to the Corporate General Partner, W. P. Carey & Co., Inc. ("W.P.
        Carey")) and the Limited Partners are allocated 99% of the profits and
        losses as well as distributions of distributable cash from operations,
        as defined. The partners are also entitled to receive net proceeds from
        the sale of the Partnership properties as defined in the Agreement. An
        affiliate of the General Partners may be entitled to incentive fees in
        connection with the liquidation of the Partnership. A division of W.P.
        Carey is engaged in the real estate brokerage business. The Partnership
        may sell properties through the division and pay subordinated real
        estate commissions as provided in the Agreement. The division could
        ultimately earn a real estate commission of up to $1,048,430 with
        respect to the sales of properties between 1986 and 1994 which amount
        will be retained by the Partnership unless the subordination provisions
        of the Agreement are satisfied.

3.  Transactions with Related Parties:
    ---------------------------------

      Under the Agreement, a division of W.P. Carey, is entitled to receive a
        property management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses incurred
        in connection with the Partnership's operations. Property management fee
        in 1995 includes the effect of a transaction described in Note 11.
        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. Property
        management fee and general and administrative expense reimbursements are
        summarized as follows:


                                                 1993      1994      1995

                       (a California limited partnership)

                   NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

        During 1993, 1994 and 1995, fees aggregating $79,380, 29,657 and 
          $39,370, respectively, were incurred for legal services performed by a
          firm in which the Secretary of the Corporate General Partner and other
          affiliates is a partner.

        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 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $41,936, $46,172 and $51,472,
          respectively.

        On November 16, 1995, the Partnership borrowed $250,000 from W.P. Carey.
          The loan, which is evidenced by a promissory note and bears interest
          at the prime rate, requires the Partnership to pay the entire
          principal amount and accrued interest thereon on demand. The
          Partnership may prepay the note, in whole or in part, at any time
          without penalty. The interest incurred on the loan of $2,781 is
          included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995.
          Such amount is also included in accounts payable to affiliates as of
          December 31, 1995. The Partnership repaid the loan in March 1996.

        The Partnership's ownership interests in certain properties are jointly
          held with affiliated entities as tenants-in-common with the
          Partnership's ownership interests ranging from 28.5% to 40%. The
          Partnership accounts for its assets and liabilities relating to
          tenants-in-common interests on a proportional basis.

8.  Income for Federal Tax Purposes:

      Income for financial statement purposes differs from income for Federal
        income tax purposes because of the difference in the treatment of
        certain items for income tax purposes and financial statement purposes.
        A reconciliation of accounting differences is as follows:

10. Properties Formerly Leased to New Valley Corporation:
    -----------------------------------------------------

      The Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 3 ("CPA(R):3"), an
        affiliate, own 39% and 61% interests, respectively, in three properties
        located in Reno, Nevada; Bridgeton, Missouri and Moorestown, New Jersey.
        On April 1, 1993, the lessee, New Valley Corporation ("New Valley"),
        filed a petition of voluntary bankruptcy seeking reorganization under
        Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the
        bankruptcy filing, the Bankruptcy Court approved New Valley's
        termination of its lease with the Partnership and CPA(R):3 for the
        Moorestown, New Jersey property in May 1993. In 1993, the Partnership
        wrote down the Moorestown property to its estimated net realizable value
        of $1,160,000 and recognized a charge of $841,889 on the writedown. In
        December 1994, the Bankruptcy Court also approved the termination of New
        Valley's lease on the Reno property effective December 31, 1994. In
        connection with the lease termination, the Partnership wrote down the
        Reno property in 1994 to its estimated net realizable value of
        $1,295,000 and recognized a charge of $445,551 on the writedown.

                   NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued

On April 7, 1995, the Partnership and CPA(R):3, entered into a net lease for the
  Moorestown property with Sports & Recreation, Inc. ("Sports & Recreation")
  which is retrofitting the Moorestown property into a retail store. The lease
  provided for a feasibility period through September 30, 1995 which was
  extended through December 31, 1995 and is followed by an initial term of 16
  years. Sports & Recreation will commence paying rent at the earlier of
  completion of construction or 120 days after the end of the feasibility period
  (May 1, 1996). Sports & Recreation will incur all retrofitting costs; however,
  the Partnership and CPA(R):3 will reimburse Sports & Recreation for the cost
  of replacing the HVAC system and installing a new roof and drainage system.
  The Partnership's share of the cost for replacing the HVAC system and
  installing a new roof and drainage system is estimated to be approximately
  $292,000. Annual rentals will initially be $308,750 (of which the
  Partnership's share is approximately $121,000) during the first five lease
  years with stated increases every five years thereafter.

In connection with the termination of the Moorestown and Reno leases, the
  Partnership and CPA(R):3 expect to receive a bankruptcy settlement from New
  Valley. The amount of such settlement cannot be estimated and no amounts that
  the Partnership may ultimately receive have been recorded in the accompanying
  financial statements. The Partnership and CPA(R):3 are currently remarketing
  the Reno property.

11. Properties Leased to Gibson Greetings, Inc.:
    -------------------------------------------

On January 25, 1982, the Partnership and CPA(R):3 entered into a net lease with
  Gibson Greetings, Inc. ("Gibson"), for three properties in Memphis, Tennessee,
  Berea, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1988, the Partnership and CPA(R):3
  consented to Gibson's sublease of the Memphis, Tennessee property to a wholly-
  owned subsidiary, Cleo, Inc. ("Cleo"). The lease for the three properties had
  an initial term of 20 years with two five-year renewal options and provided
  for minimum annual rentals of $5,865,000 with rent increases every five years
  based on a formula indexed to the CPI. The lease also provided Gibson with a
  purchase option which was exercisable during the tenth year of the lease and
  at the end of the initial term. Gibson declined to exercise its purchase
  option during the tenth lease year in 1992.

In connection with Gibson's sale of the Cleo subsidiary to CSS Industries, Inc.
  ("CSS"), the Partnership, CPA(R):3 and Gibson entered into a transaction on
  November 15, 1995, whereby the Memphis, Tennessee property occupied by Cleo
  was severed from the Gibson master lease, the Gibson lease was amended and
  Cleo entered into a separate lease for the Tennessee property with CSS as the
  guarantor of Cleo's lease obligations. The Partnership and CPA(R):3 received
  $12,200,000 (of which the Partnership's share was $3,477,000) as a one-time
  lump sum payment in consideration for severing the Tennessee property from the
  Gibson master lease. Gibson still retains certain specific obligations for any
  environmental violations which may be detected and which resulted from any 
  pre-existing conditions and is ensuring that roof repairs or replacement are
  performed on the Tennessee property. Gibson and Cleo have until May 15, 1996
  to complete the roof repair.

The Gibson lease, as amended, on the two remaining properties in Kentucky and
  Ohio provides for an initial term which has been extended through November 30,
  2013, and provides for one renewal term of ten years. Annual rent is
  $3,100,000 (of which the Partnership's share is approximately $733,000), with
  stated increases of 20% every five years through the end of the renewal term.
  The lease includes new purchase options exercisable on November 30, 2005 and
  2010 and Gibson has the right to exercise the purchase option on one of its
  leased properties or

  both. The option is exercisable at fair market value of the properties as
  encumbered by the lease.

The Cleo lease provides for a ten-year term through December 31, 2005 with two
  five-year renewal terms. Annual rent is $1,500,000 (of which the Partnership's
  share is approximately $355,000), a rent increase effective January 1, 2001.
  The rent increase will be based on a formula indexed to the CPI; however,
  increased annual rent will be at least $1,689,000 but no more than $1,898,000.
  Cleo has an option to purchase the property at any time during the term of the
  lease so long as there is no event of monetary default. Exercise of the
  purchase option requires between six and twelve months notice. The exercise
  price is the greater of (i) $15,000,000 or (ii) fair market value capped at a
  maximum of $16,250,000.

In connection with the payment made by Gibson to sever the Tennessee property
  from the Gibson lease, the Partnership has deferred recognition of a gain on
  restructuring of $3,237,685, consisting of its $3,477,000 share of the lump
  sum payment offset by costs of $239,315 including management fees of $173,000,
  payable to an affiliate and will amortize such deferral over the remaining
  initial terms of the Gibson and Cleo direct financing leases. The net proceeds
  from the agreement as well as other available funds were used to pay off the
  Partnership's share of the mortgage loan collateralized by the Gibson
  properties of $6,153,000 in November 1995.

12. Gains on Sale of Real Estate:
    ----------------------------

    A. In January 1994, the Partnership sold its property in Hammond, Louisiana
         for $124,615 in cash, realizing a gain of $23,451 on the sale. The
         lease had been scheduled to expire in 1995.

    B. In April 1993, the Partnership sold properties in Hamilton, Ohio,
         Springdale, Arkansas and Augusta, Wisconsin to its lessee, Heekin Can
         Inc. ("Heekin") for $29,377,679 in cash with such amount determined
         pursuant to a formula in the lease. A gain of $8,377,679 was realized
         on the sale.

       In connection with the sale, the Partnership paid off the nonrecourse
         loan on the Heekin properties of $11,927,709. In paying off the
         mortgage loan the Partnership incurred a prepayment charge of $477,108
         and a charge for the writeoff of unamortized financing costs of
         $43,871, resulting in an extraordinary charge on extinguishment of debt
         of $520,979.

       The Partnership used a portion of the net proceeds of the Heekin sale to
         pay a special distribution to limited partners of $14,300,000 ($260 per
         Limited Partnership Unit) and $312 to the individual general partner.

13. Environmental Matters:
    ----------------------

      All of the Partnership's properties are subject to environmental statutes
        and regulations regarding the discharge of hazardous materials and
        related remediation obligations. All but two of the Partnership's
        properties are currently leased to corporate tenants. 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 being performed
        and paid for by the affected tenant at three of the properties, are not
        expected to be material. In the event that the Partnership absorbs a
        portion of such costs because of a tenant's failure to fulfill its
        obligations (or because a property currently has no tenant), the General
        Partners believe such expenditures will not have a material adverse
        effect on the Partnership's financial condition, liquidity or results of
        operations.

                   NOTES to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued


    In 1994, based on the results of Phase I environmental reviews performed in
      1993, the Partnership voluntarily conducted Phase II environmental reviews
      on four of its properties. The Partnership believes, based on the results
      of such Phase I and Phase II reviews, that its 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 which were identified, the Partnership
      advised the affected tenant of the Phase II findings and of its obligation
      to perform required remediation.


14. Disclosures About 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 carrying amount of the Partnership's two
      mortgage notes payable approximates fair value of such mortgage notes at
      December 31, 1995. 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.
