ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On May 31, 2000, a wholly owned subsidiary of Net 1 L.P. (the "Partnership")
acquired a property located in Henderson, North Carolina (the "Henderson
Property") for approximately $7.8 million. The Henderson Property is leased to
Corporate Express Office Products, Inc. (the "Tenant"), under the terms of a net
lease. The lease is guaranteed by the Tenant's parent company, Corporate
Express, Inc. The Henderson Property was constructed and completed in December
1998 and was occupied by the Tenant in January 1999. The Henderson Property
consists of an office-warehouse facility situated on 19.09 acres of land.

The current annual rent payable is $712,000 and the average annual rent is
$799,000. The lease expires on January 31, 2014. The lease provides for three
renewal options of five years each at the then fair market values.

The purchase price was satisfied by an assumption of a $4.7 million mortgage
note and an issuance of a $3.1 million demand note. The mortgage note, which
matures May 1, 2009, bears interest at a rate of 7.39% per annum, requires
annual debt service payments of $417,000 and a balloon payment of $3.85 million.
The demand note bears interest at 10% per annum, with interest only payments.
The demand note was fully paid in July 2000.

The Henderson Property was purchased from Lexington Corporate Properties Trust,
whose chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer is an officer and a shareholder of
the general partner of the Partnership.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the historical summary is free of material misstatement.

      Notes to Historical Summary of Revenue and Certain Operating Expenses
                            of the Henderson Property



1.       Property

         On May 31, 2000, a wholly owned subsidiary of Net 1 L.P. (the
         "Partnership") acquired a property located in Henderson, North Carolina
         (the "Henderson Property") for approximately $7.8 million. The
         Henderson Property is leased to Corporate Express Office Products, Inc.
         (the "Tenant"), under the terms of a net lease. The lease is guaranteed
         by the Tenant's parent company, Corporate Express, Inc. The Henderson
         Property was constructed and completed in December 1998 and was
         occupied by the Tenant in January 1999. The Henderson Property consists
         of an office-warehouse facility situated on 19.09 acres of land.

         The current annual rent payable is $712,000 and the average annual rent
         is $799,000. The lease expires on January 31, 2014. The lease provides
         for three renewal options of five years each at the then fair market
         values.

         The purchase price was satisfied by an assumption of a $4.7 million
         mortgage note and an issuance of a $3.1 million demand note. The
         mortgage note, which matures May 1, 2009, bears interest at a rate of
         7.39% per annum, requires annual debt service payments of $417,000 and
         a balloon payment of $3.85 million. The demand note bears interest at
         10% per annum, with interest only payments. The demand note was fully
         paid in July 2000.

2.       Basis of Presentation

         The Historical Summary has been prepared on the accrual method of
         accounting. In accordance with the regulations of the Securities and
         Exchange Commission, depreciation and general and administrative
         expenses have been excluded from certain operating expenses, as such
         costs are dependent upon a particular owner, purchase price or other
         financial agreement.

3.       Revenue Recognition

         Minimum revenues from rental property are recognized on a straight-line
         basis over the term of the related lease.

         The minimum future rental payments receivable under the terms of the
         non-cancelable operating lease are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Basis of Presentation

     Cash rent under the net lease represents the rental payments expected to be
     received during the first year of the lease.

     Interest expense represents tax deductible interest that is expected to be
     incurred on the related assumed mortgage debt. No interest is included
     related to the demand note as it was repaid in July 2000.

     The acquisition cost for the Henderson Property was allocated 4% to land
     and 96% to buildings based on appraisals. Depreciation is computed on a
     straight-line basis over 40 years.

         The adjustment to rental revenues relates to the net straight-lining of
         rent under the remaining lease terms.

         The adjustment to interest expense relates to the financing of the
         acquisition. No interest is included related to the demand note on the
         Henderson Property as it was repaid in July 2000.

         40 years, using the straight-line method.
