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 caps and swaps; and Level 3, for securities 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. 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. For significant Level 3 items we have also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted average ranges. Money Market Funds — Our money market funds, which are included in Cash in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values. Derivative Assets — Our derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of interest rate cap, foreign currency forward contracts and stock warrants (Note 9). The interest rate cap and foreign currency forward contracts 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 the open market. The stock warrants were measured at fair value using internal valuation models that incorporate market inputs and our own assumptions about future cash flows. We classified these assets as Level 3 because these assets 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 and foreign currency forward contracts (Note 9). These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates. These derivative instruments 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. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — We account for the noncontrolling interest in W. P. Carey International, LLC (“WPCI”) held by a third party as a redeemable noncontrolling interest (Note 12). We determined the valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest using widely accepted valuation techniques, including expected discounted cash flows of the investment as well as the income capitalization approach, which considers prevailing market capitalization rates. We classified this liability as Level 3. Unobservable inputs for WPCI include a discount for lack of marketability, a discount rate and EBITDA multiples with weighted average ranges of 20% – 30%, 22% – 26% and 3x – 5x, respectively. Significant increases or decreases in any one of these inputs in isolation would result in significant changes in the fair value measurement. Our other financial instruments had the following carrying values and fair values as of the dates shown (in thousands): <div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:20px;"><tr style="height: 15px"><td style="width: 270px;

We also considered the value of the underlying collateral taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the company, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate.</li><li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;">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 with a weighted-average range of 275 – 325 bps and 50 – 100 bps, respectively. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.</li></ul> We estimated that our remaining financial assets and liabilities (excluding net investments in direct financing leases) had fair values that approximated their carrying values at both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges) We periodically assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate investments may be impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. For investments in real estate for which an impairment indicator is identified, we follow a two-step process to determine whether the investment is impaired and to determine the amount of the charge. First, we compare the carrying value of the property's asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows that we expect the property's asset group will generate, including any estimated proceeds from the eventual sale of the property's asset group. If this amount is less than the carrying value, the property's asset group is considered to be impaired, and we then measure the loss as the excess of the carrying value of the property's asset group over the estimated fair value of the property's asset group, which is primarily determined using market information such as recent comparable sales or broker quotes. If relevant market information is not available or is not deemed appropriate, we perform a future net cash flow analysis, discounted for inherent risk associated with each investment. We determined that the significant inputs used to value these investments fall within Level 3 for fair value accounting. As a result of our assessments, we calculated impairment charges based on market conditions and assumptions that existed at the time. The valuation of real estate is subject to significant judgment and actual results may differ materially if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.

Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. The valuation was also dependent upon the estimated date of a liquidity event for CPA®:16 – Global because cash flows attributable to this investment would cease upon such event. Therefore, the fair value of this investment may decline in the future as the estimated liquidation date approaches. </li><li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;">These fair value measurements were based on the contracted selling prices, which were unobservable in an active market. </li><li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;">During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized impairment charges on two properties totaling $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. These impairment charges, which are included in discontinued operations, were the result of reducing the properties' carrying values to their estimated fair value, which approximated the estimated selling price less selling costs.
