NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Offering

Organization

Corporate Property Associates 18 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:18 – Global, and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, or our, is a publicly-owned, non-listed real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed in 2012 for the purpose of investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of income-producing commercial real estate properties and other real estate related assets, both domestically and outside the United States. As a REIT, we are not subject to U.S federal income taxation as long as we satisfy certain requirements, principally relating to the nature of our income, the level of our distributions, and other factors. We earn revenue principally by leasing the properties we own to single corporate tenants, primarily on a triple-net lease basis, which requires the tenant to pay substantially all of the costs associated with operating and maintaining the property. Revenue is subject to fluctuation because of the timing of new lease transactions, lease terminations, lease expirations, contractual rent adjustments, tenant defaults, sales of properties, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are held by CPA:18 Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which is our Operating Partnership, and at March 31, 2015 we owned 99.97% of general and limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest in the Operating Partnership is held by a subsidiary of our sponsor, W. P. Carey Inc., or WPC.

At March 31, 2015, the majority of our portfolio was comprised of full or partial ownership interests in 49 properties, the majority of which were fully-occupied and triple-net leased to 77 tenants totaling 7.8 million square feet. The remainder of our portfolio was comprised of our full or partial ownership interests in 20 self-storage properties and five multi-family properties totaling 2.6 million square feet.

We are managed by WPC through one of its subsidiaries, which is the advisor. The advisor provides both strategic and day-to-day management services for us, including capital funding services, investment research and analysis, investment financing and other investment-related services, asset management, disposition of assets, investor relations, and administrative services. W. P. Carey & Co. B.V., an affiliate of the advisor, provides asset management services with respect to our foreign investments.

Public Offering

On May 7, 2013, our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-185111), or the Registration Statement, was declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and we commenced our initial public offering of up to $1.4 billion in shares of our common stock, in any combination of Class A and Class C shares, including $150.0 million in shares of common stock through our distribution reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or DRIP, at a price of $9.60 per share of Class A common stock and $8.98 per share of Class C common stock. The per share amount of distributions on shares of Class A and C common stock will likely differ because of different allocations of class-specific expenses. Specifically, distributions on shares of Class C common stock will be lower than distributions on shares of Class A common stock because shares of Class C common stock are subject to ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fees (Note 4).

We ceased accepting new orders for shares of Class A and Class C common stock on June 30, 2014 and March 27, 2015, respectively. We closed our offering on April 2, 2015. Through March 31, 2015, we raised gross offering proceeds for our Class A common stock and Class C common stock of $977.4 million and $264.9 million, respectively. The gross offering proceeds raised exclude reinvested distributions through the DRIP of $25.9 million and $3.5 million for our Class A common stock and Class C common stock, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 2. Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

Description of the Errors and Revisions

In the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements for the 2014 Annual Report, we discovered an error related to our accounting for a subsidiary’s functional currency, which was incorrectly designated as the euro instead of the U.S. dollar, and as a result the applicable financial results of this entity were being translated when they should have been remeasured. The correction of this error resulted in the increase of foreign currency losses within the consolidated statement of operations and a decrease of foreign currency losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the same amounts. We concluded that these revision adjustments, summarized in the tables below, were not material to our financial position or results of operations the prior period presented and revised the prior period presented herein to reflect the correction of this error.

We corrected this error, and one other error previously recorded as an out-of-period adjustment, and revised our consolidated financial statements for all prior periods impacted. Accordingly, our financial results for the prior period presented herein have been revised for the correction of such errors as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

___________

(a)

In connection with the error identified above, we also made an adjustment to reflect the correction of one other out-of-period adjustment that was identified during 2014 and recorded this adjustment in the prior period presented. This adjustment related to the initial recognition of deferred tax balances related to the misinterpretation of tax requirements in the corresponding foreign jurisdictions, and as a result we did not recognize a deferred tax liability and corresponding deferred tax expense within the correct reporting period.


(b)	These adjustments are the result of the error we identified related to foreign currency matters, as discussed above.

Statement of Cash Flows

These revisions had no net impact on Net cash used in operating activities, Net cash used in investing activities, or Net cash provided by financing activities in the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Note 3. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

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

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

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

Basis of Consolidation

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

When we obtain an economic interest in an entity, we evaluate the entity to determine if it is deemed to be a VIE, and, if so, whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. Significant judgment is required to determine whether a VIE should be consolidated. We review the contractual arrangements provided for in the partnership agreement or other related contracts to determine whether the entity is considered a VIE, and to establish whether we have any variable interests in the VIE. We then compare our variable interests, if any, to those of the other variable interest holders to determine which party is the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (i) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We performed an analysis on all of our subsidiary entities to determine whether they qualify as VIEs and whether they should be consolidated or accounted for as equity investments in an unconsolidated venture. As a result of our assessment, we have concluded that one of our subsidiaries qualified as a VIE. All of our subsidiaries are consolidated.

For an entity that is not considered to be a VIE, but rather a voting interest entity, the general partners in a limited partnership (or similar entity) are presumed to control the entity regardless of the level of their ownership and, accordingly, may be required to consolidate the entity. We evaluate the partnership agreements or other relevant contracts to determine whether there are provisions in the agreements that would overcome this presumption. If the agreements provide the limited partners with either (i) the substantive ability to dissolve or liquidate the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or (ii) substantive participating rights, the limited partners’ rights overcome the presumption of control by a general partner of the limited partnership, and, therefore, the general partner must account for its investment in the limited partnership using the equity method of accounting.

Recent Accounting Requirements

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

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

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

Note 4. Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with the Advisor

We have an advisory agreement with the advisor whereby the advisor performs certain services for us under a fee arrangement, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase, and disposition of real estate and related assets and mortgage loans, day-to-day management, and the performance of certain administrative duties. The current advisory agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2015 and is scheduled to renew annually thereafter with our approval.

Organization and Offering Costs

Pursuant to the advisory agreement with the advisor, we are liable for certain expenses related to our initial public offering, which include filing, legal, accounting, printing, advertising, transfer agent, and escrow fees, and are to be deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. We will reimburse Carey Financial LLC, or Carey Financial, our dealer manager and an affiliate of our advisor, or selected dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred that are supported by a detailed and itemized invoice. The total underwriting compensation to Carey Financial and selected dealers in connection with the offering cannot exceed limitations prescribed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The advisor has agreed to be responsible for the repayment of organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid to Carey Financial and selected dealers and fees paid and expenses reimbursed to selected dealers) that exceed in the aggregate 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the initial public offering. From inception and through March 31, 2015, the advisor has incurred organization and offering costs of $8.5 million on our behalf, of which we repaid $8.4 million. We recorded a liability to the advisor for the remaining unpaid offering costs based on our estimate of expected gross offering proceeds. From inception and through March 31, 2015, we charged $8.1 million of deferred offering costs to stockholder’s equity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Loans from WPC

Our board of directors and the board of directors of WPC have approved unsecured loans from WPC to us of up to $100.0 million, in the aggregate, at a rate equal to the rate at which WPC is able to borrow funds under its senior credit facility, for the purpose of facilitating acquisitions approved by the advisor’s investment committee that we would not otherwise have sufficient available funds to complete, with any loans to be made solely at the discretion of the management of WPC. We did not borrow any funds from WPC during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 nor did we have any amounts outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Asset Management Fees

Pursuant to the advisory agreement, the advisor is entitled to an annual asset management fee ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, depending on the type of investment and based on the average market value or average equity value, as applicable, of our investments. The asset management fees are payable in cash or shares of our Class A common stock at our option, after consultation with of the advisor. If the advisor receives all or a portion of its fees in shares, the number of shares issued is determined by dividing the dollar amount of fees by our most recently published estimated net asset value per share, or, if net asset values have not yet been published, as currently is the case, $10.00 per share, which is the price at which our Class A shares were being sold in our initial public offering. For 2015, we elected to pay the advisor in shares of our Class A common stock. For both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the advisor received its asset management fees in shares of our Class A common stock. At March 31, 2015, the advisor owned 391,273 shares, or 0.4%, of our outstanding Class A common stock. Asset management fees are included in Property expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees

Pursuant to our dealer manager agreement with Carey Financial, Carey Financial received a selling commission, depending on the class of common stock sold, of $0.70 and $0.14 per share sold and a dealer manager fee of $0.30 and $0.21 per share sold for the Class A and Class C common stock, respectively. These amounts were recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated financial statements.

Carey Financial also receives an annual distribution and shareholder servicing fee in connection with our Class C common stock, which it may reallow to selected dealers. The amount of the shareholder servicing fee is 1.0% of the selling price per share (or, once published, the amount of our net asset values) for the Class C common stock in our initial public offering. The shareholder servicing fee accrues daily and is payable quarterly in arrears. We will no longer incur the shareholder servicing fee beginning on the date at which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources, including the shareholder servicing fee, any organizational and offering fee paid for underwriting and underwriting compensation paid by WPC and its affiliates, equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering, which we have not yet reached. The shareholder servicing fee for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and is included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition and Disposition Fees

The advisor receives acquisition fees, a portion of which is payable upon acquisition and the payment of the remaining portion is subordinated to a preferred return of a non-compounded cumulative distribution of 5.0% per annum (based initially on our invested capital). The initial acquisition fee and subordinated acquisition fee are 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively, of the aggregate total cost of our portion of each investment for all investments other than those in readily-marketable real estate securities purchased in the secondary market, for which the advisor will not receive any acquisition fees. Deferred acquisition fees are scheduled to be paid in three equal annual installments following the quarter in which a property was purchased. Unpaid deferred acquisition fees are included in Due to affiliate in the consolidated financial statements. The total acquisition fees to be paid (initial and subordinated, and including interest thereon) may not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate contract purchase price of all investments and loans.

In addition, pursuant to the advisory agreement, the advisor may be entitled to receive a disposition fee in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 50.0% of the competitive real estate commission (as defined in the advisory agreement) or (ii) 3.0% of the contract sales price of the investment being sold.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Personnel and Overhead Reimbursements

Under the terms of the advisory agreement, the advisor allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead expenses to us and other publicly-owned, non-listed REITs that are managed by the advisor, including Corporate Property Associates 17 – Global Incorporated, or CPA^®:17 – Global, and, together with us, as the CPA^® REITs, and Carey Watermark Investors Incorporated, or CWI. The advisor allocates these expenses to us based on the average of the trailing four quarters of reported revenues of WPC, the CPA^® REITs, and CWI.

We reimburse the advisor for various expenses it incurs in the course of providing services to us. We reimburse certain third-party expenses paid by the advisor on our behalf, including property-specific costs, professional fees, office expenses, and business development expenses. In addition, we reimburse the advisor for the allocated costs of personnel and overhead in managing our day-to-day operations, including accounting services, stockholder services, corporate management, and property management and operations. We do not reimburse the advisor for the cost of personnel if these personnel provide services for transactions for which the advisor receives a transaction fee, such as acquisitions and dispositions. Under the revised advisory agreement, in 2015 and 2016, the amount of personnel costs excluding costs related to the advisor’s legal transaction group allocated to us is capped at 2.4% and 2.2%, respectively, of pro rata lease revenues for each year. Beginning in 2017, the cap decreases to 2.0% of pro rata lease revenues for that year. Costs related to the legal transactions group are based on a schedule of expenses for different types of transactions, including 0.25% of the total investment cost of an acquisition. Personnel and overhead reimbursements are included in General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Excess Operating Expenses

The advisory agreement provides that, for any four trailing quarters (with quoted variables as defined in the advisory agreement), “operating expenses” may not exceed the greater of 2.0% of our “average invested assets” or 25.0% of our “adjusted net income.” For the most recent four trailing quarters, our operating expenses were below the 2.0%/25.0% threshold.

Available Cash Distributions

CPA^®:18 Holdings’ interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to receive distributions of 10.0% of the available cash generated by the Operating Partnership, referred to as the Available Cash Distribution, which is defined as cash generated from operations, excluding capital proceeds, as reduced by operating expenses and debt service, excluding prepayments and balloon payments. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we made $0.9 million and $0.1 million of such distributions, respectively. Available cash distributions are included in Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Jointly-Owned Investments and Other Transactions with our Affiliate

At March 31, 2015, we owned interests in four jointly-owned investments, with the remaining interests held by our affiliate CPA^®:17 – Global, which is also managed by the advisor, as follows:


•	$108.3 million, of which our share was $55.2 million, or 51%, for an office facility located in Stavanger, Norway on October 31, 2014;


•	$147.9 million, of which our share was $74.0 million, or 50%, for an office facility located in Warsaw, Poland on March 31, 2014;


•	$97.0 million, of which our share was $77.6 million, or 80%, for a retail portfolio consisting of five properties located in Croatia on December 18, 2013; and


•	$115.6 million, of which our share was $57.8 million, or 50%, for an office facility located in Austin, Texas on August 20, 2013.

We consolidate all of the above joint ventures because we are either the majority equity holder and/or control the significant activities of the ventures. Additionally, no other parties, including CPA^®:17 – Global, hold any rights that overcome our control. We account for CPA^®:17 – Global’s investments as noncontrolling interests. The amounts listed above are the original investment amounts at the closing of each respective investment.

Less: Accumulated depreciation	(2,325		)	(939		)
	$	231,658		$	132,657

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we acquired 11 new investments. Of these investments, two were deemed to be asset acquisitions and nine were considered to be business combinations. We refer to these investments as our 2015 Acquisitions.

Asset Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into two build-to-suit investments, which were deemed to be asset acquisitions because we acquired the seller’s properties and simultaneously entered into new leases in connection with the acquisitions, at a total cost of $39.0 million, including acquisition-related costs and fees of $6.2 million, which were capitalized.

Rabobank — On March 20, 2015, we closed and funded the first draw of a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party on a site located in Eindhoven, the Netherlands for $21.7 million, which is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of acquisition. This acquisition includes the development of an office building (including parking spaces) in two phases, which is due for completion in April 2017 and March 2019. We will acquire additional equity of the entity developing the building in stages throughout the construction period. We consolidate this joint venture as we are expected to fund all of the construction activities, we control the related activities, and we will fully own this property upon completion.

Reading — On February 19, 2015, we closed a build-to-suit joint venture with a third party on a student housing development site located in Reading, United Kingdom for $17.3 million, which is based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling on the date of acquisition. We acquired 96% of the equity of this investment at closing. This acquisition includes an existing office building and its redevelopment into a student housing facility, which is due for completion in August 2016.

See the Real Estate Under Construction section below for more information regarding our build-to-suit investments.

A portion of the transaction fees capitalized include current and deferred acquisition fees paid and payable, respectively, to the advisor (Note 4).

Business Combinations

Business Combinations — Net-Leased Property

Broadfold — On March 24, 2015, we acquired a light industrial site located in Aberdeen, United Kingdom from an unaffiliated third party for $6.8 million, which is based on the exchange rate of the British pound sterling on the date of acquisition. The site is fully occupied by three tenants. We intend to engage an unaffiliated third party to act as the asset manager for this property. We deemed this to be a business combination because we assumed the seller’s lease on the property, for which the seller was not the lessee, and expensed acquisition costs of $0.7 million.

Business Combinations — Operating Properties

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into six self-storage investments and two multi-family investments that are considered to be operating properties, at a total cost of $106.9 million.

Self-Storage Properties

We acquired the following self-storage properties, aggregating $45.4 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which we refer to as our 2015 Self Storage Acquisitions:


•	$4.0 million for a facility in Panama City Beach, Florida on March 10, 2015;


•	$6.0 million for a facility in Lady Lake, Florida on February 25, 2015;


•	$3.0 million for a facility in Sebastian, Florida on February 18, 2015;


•	$7.5 million for a facility in Tallahassee, Florida on February 4, 2015;


•	$9.2 million for a facility in Valrico, Florida on January 29, 2015; and


•	$15.6 million for a facility in Naples, Florida on January 28, 2015.

In connection with these self-storage property transactions, we incurred acquisition expenses totaling $2.5 million, which are included in Acquisition expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

We acquired the following multi-family properties aggregating $61.5 million.

Pinnacle Ridge — On January 15, 2015, we acquired a 97% controlling interest in Pinnacle Ridge Apartments, or Pinnacle Ridge, a 350-unit multi-family property located in Durham, North Carolina, for $34.3 million. The deal was completed in partnership with two joint venture partners. One of the venture partners has been engaged to be the property manager. Simultaneously, we entered into a mortgage loan in the amount of $24.0 million (Note 9).

Brantley Pines — On January 15, 2015, we acquired a 97% controlling interest in Brantley Pines Apartments, or Brantley Pines, a 296-unit multi-family property located in Fort Myers, Florida, for $27.2 million. The deal was completed in partnership with two joint venture partners. One of the venture partners has been engaged to be the property manager. Simultaneously, we entered into a mortgage loan in the amount of $19.0 million (Note 9).

In connection with our multi-family property transactions, we incurred acquisition expenses totaling $3.3 million, which are included in Acquisition expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Finance Receivables

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

Net Investments in Direct Financing Leases

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



	March 31, 2015			December 31, 2014
Minimum lease payments receivable	$	89,613		$	86,338
Unguaranteed residual value	45,473			45,473

Less: unearned income	(89,498		)	(86,229		)
	$	45,588		$	45,582

Interest income from direct financing leases, which was included in Lease revenues in the consolidated financial statements, was $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, Other assets, net included $0.2 million of accounts receivable related to amounts billed under our direct financing leases. We did not have any outstanding receivables related to the aforementioned direct financing lease at December 31, 2014.

Note Receivable

On July 21, 2014, we acquired a $28.0 million mezzanine tranche of 10-year commercial mortgage-backed securities originated by Cantor Fitzgerald on the Cipriani banquet halls in New York, New York. The mezzanine tranche is subordinated to a $60.0 million senior loan on the properties. We will receive interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum. At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance for this note receivable was $28.0 million.

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to a tenant’s business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant default. At both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there were no modifications of finance receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. We evaluate the credit quality of our finance receivables utilizing an internal five-point credit rating scale, with one representing the highest credit quality and five representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our finance receivables was last updated in the first quarter of 2015.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts; and Level 3, for securities and other derivative assets that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.

Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts (Note 9). These derivatives were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

Derivative Liabilities — Our derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate swaps (Note 9). These derivatives were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market.

We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings are reported in Other income and (expenses) in the consolidated financial statements.

Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (dollars in thousands):



		March 31, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Level	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Debt ^(a)	3	$	663,085	$	684,910	$	521,712	$	540,577
Note receivable ^(b)	3	28,000		28,000		28,000		28,000
Deferred acquisition fees payable^(c)	3	18,947		18,934		17,525		17,520

___________

(a)

We determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the tenant/obligor and interest rate risk. We also considered the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the tenant/obligor, the time until maturity, and the current market interest rate.


(b)	We estimated that the fair value of the note receivable approximated its carrying value.

(c)

We determined the estimated fair value of our deferred acquisition fees based on an estimate of discounted cash flows using two significant unobservable inputs, which are the leverage adjusted unsecured spread and an illiquidity adjustment of 107 basis points and 75 basis points, respectively. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

We estimated that our other financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 9. Risk Management and Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management

In the normal course of our ongoing business operations, we encounter economic risk. There are four main components of economic risk that impact us: interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk, and foreign currency risk. We are primarily subject to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of default on our operations and our tenants’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes changes in the value of our properties and related loans as well as changes in the value of our other investments due to changes in interest rates or other market factors. We own international investments primarily in Europe and are subject to the risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

When we use derivative instruments, it is generally to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We have not entered into, and do not plan to enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition to derivative instruments that we entered into on our own behalf, we may also be a party to derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and we may own common stock warrants, granted to us by lessees when structuring lease transactions, which are considered to be derivative instruments. The primary risks related to our use of derivative instruments include default by a counterparty to a hedging arrangement on its obligation and a downgrade in the credit quality of a counterparty to such an extent that our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction is impaired. While we seek to mitigate these risks by entering into hedging arrangements with counterparties that are large financial institutions that we deem to be creditworthy, it is possible that our hedging transactions, which are intended to limit losses, could adversely affect our earnings. Furthermore, if we terminate a hedging arrangement, we may be obligated to pay certain costs, such as transaction or breakage fees. We have established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting, and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities.

We measure derivative instruments at fair value and record them as assets or liabilities, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. For a derivative designated and that qualified as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized in Other comprehensive loss until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For a derivative designated and quali
