                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


1.       The Partnership and Basis of Presentation

         Net 2 L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed as a limited partnership on
         November 9, 1988, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The purpose
         of the limited partnership is to invest in real estate properties or
         interests therein net leased to corporations or other entities.

         As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership has a total of 477,167 Units
         issued and outstanding held by approximately 2,300 limited partners.

         The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in
         the opinion of the General Partner, necessary to a fair statement of
         the results for the interim period presented. For a more complete
         understanding of the Partnership's financial position and accounting
         policies, reference is made to the financial statements previously
         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with the
         Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
         31, 1996.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         On January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
         for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
         Disposed Of." This SFAS establishes the recognition and measurement
         criteria for impairment losses on long-lived assets, identifiable
         intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used
         and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
         disposed of. This SFAS requires that an impairment loss be recognized
         when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
         amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
         all highly liquid instruments to be cash equivalents. The balance sheet
         caption, cash and cash equivalents, include $2.2 million of money
         market instruments at September 30, 1997.

         The leases relating to the properties are operating leases in
         accordance with SFAS 13. Rental revenue is recognized on a
         straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms. At September 30,
         1997, the Partnership's rent receivable primarily consists of amounts
         of the excess of rental revenues recognized on a straight-line basis
         over the rents' collectible under the leases.

         The net income per Unit amounts were calculated by using the weighted
         average number of Units outstanding for each period and allocating the
         income attributable for that period to the Limited Partners. The
         weighted average number of Units outstanding was 477,167, during each
         of the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

2.       Continued

         Certain amounts included in the prior year's financial statements have
         been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

         Management of the partnership has made a number of estimates and
         assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
         disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
         financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.       The Partnership Agreement

         For financial statement reporting purposes all items of income are
         allocated in the same proportion as distributions of distributable
         cash.

         As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership has made cumulative cash
         distributions to the Limited Partners totaling $20,639,380. The unpaid
         cumulative preferred return at September 30, 1997 totaled $20,615,305
         ($43.90 to $41.96 per Unit).

         On October 31, 1997, the cumulative preferred return that was unpaid at
         September 30, 1997, was reduced by a cash distribution to the Limited
         Partners for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 totaling $596,459
         ($1.25 per Unit) and $12,173 to the General Partner.

         Principal paydowns of the mortgage notes payable for the succeeding
         five years are as follows:

5.       Properties

         On June 6, 1997, the Partnership acquired a property located in
         Westland, Michigan (the "Michigan Property") from an unrelated party.
         The Michigan Property consists of 102,826 square foot retail department
         store building leased to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. pursuant to a triple net
         lease.

         The lease has a remaining term which expires on January 31, 2009. The
         lease provides for annual rental payments of $752,776 or $7.32 per
         square foot. In addition to net rent, Wal-Mart is required to pay
         percentage rent equal to 1% of gross sales in excess of base gross
         receipts as defined, during the fiscal year May 1 to April 30, payable
         on July 1. The lease does not provide for any renewal options. Wal-Mart
         Stores, Inc. has the option to purchase the Michigan Property on
         January 31, 2009 at a price equal to the greater of $6,406,611 or the
         fair market value.

         The purchase price of $7,050,000 and related expenses of approximately
         $81,000 were satisfied by a cash payment and by an assumption of an
         existing note with a principal balance of $4,712,263. The note bears
         interest at a stated rate of 10.5% per annum, with a monthly debt
         service payment of principal and interest in the amount of $56,908 to
         fully amortize the note by September 1, 2009. The purchase of the
         Michigan Property has been recorded in the financial statements at its
         cost, calculated as the cash paid plus the fair value of the mortgage
         liability assumed. The fair value of the mortgage was determined, using
         an imputed interest rate of 7.5%, to be $5,484,342.

         The following unaudited pro forma operating information for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 were prepared
         as if the above acquisition had been consummated as of January 1, 1997
         and January 1, 1996, respectively. The information provided do not
         purport to be indicative of what the operating results of the
         Partnership would have been had the acquisition been consummated on
         the dates assumed. The pro forma amounts are as follows:

6.       Related Party Transactions

         Leased Properties Management, Inc., an affiliate of the General
         Partner, is entitled to receive a fee for managing the Partnership's
         properties in the amount of 1% of gross annual rental receipts (or a
         greater amount in certain circumstances). As of September 30, 1997, a
         property management fee of $41,761 had been paid or accrued to Leased
         Properties Management, Inc.
<PAGE>   9
                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 6, 1997, the Partnership acquired a property located in Westland,
Michigan (the "Michigan Property") from an unrelated party. The Michigan
Property consists of 102,826 square foot retail department store building leased
to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. pursuant to a triple net lease.

The lease has a remaining term which expires on January 31, 2009. The lease
provides for annual rental payments of $752,776, or $7.32 per square foot. In
addition to net rent, Wal-Mart is required to pay percentage rent equal to 1% of
gross sales in excess of base gross receipts as defined, during the fiscal year
May 1 to April 30, payable on July 1. The lease does not provide for any renewal
options. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has the option to purchase the Michigan Property
on January 31, 2009 at a price equal to the greater of $6,406,611 or the fair
market value.

The purchase price of $7,050,000 and related expenses of approximately $81,000
were satisfied by a cash payment and by an assumption of an existing note with a
principal balance of $4,712,263. The note bears interest at a stated rate of
10.5% per annum, with a monthly debt service payment of principal and interest
in the amount of $56,908 to fully amortize the note by September 1, 2009. The
purchase of the Michigan Property has been recorded in the financial statements
at its cost, calculated as the cash paid plus the fair value of the mortgage
liability assumed. The fair value of the mortgage was determined, using an
imputed interest rate of 7.5%, to be $5,484,342.

As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership has made cumulative cash distributions
to the Limited Partners totaling $20,639,380. The unpaid cumulative preferred
return at September 30, 1997 totaled $20,615,305 (see note 3 of Notes to the
Financial Statements).

The Partnership attempts to maintain a working capital reserve equal to 1.5% of
the gross proceeds of its offering which is anticipated to be sufficient to
satisfy liquidity requirements. Liquidity could be adversely affected by
unanticipated costs, particularly costs relating to the vacancy of properties,
tenants experiencing financial difficulties, and greater than anticipated
operating expenses. To the extent that such working capital reserves are
insufficient to satisfy the cost requirements of the Partnership, additional
funds may be obtained through short-term or permanent loans or by reducing
distributions to limited partners.

There are no material restrictions (other than the debt service requirements
under the mortgage notes) upon the Partnership's present or future ability to
make distribution in accordance with the provisions of its Partnership
Agreement.

Results of Operations

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997, (see Statements of Income) are attributable to the acquisition and
operation of the thirty-seven real property investments, purchased from 1989 to
1997 and interests earned on interest-bearing bank investments.

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased $211,527 from
the same period in 1996. The increase is primarily due to rental income on the
Michigan Property acquired in June 1997.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 decreased $15,504
from the same periods in 1996. The decrease is due to a decrease in interest and
other revenues of $272,479 offset by an increase in rental revenue of $256,975.
The decrease in interest and other revenues is due to MUSTFA (Michigan
Underground Storage Tank Financial Assurance Fund) reimbursements received and
gain from the sale of the NCS stock, both in 1996. The increase in rental
revenue is primarily due to rental income on the Michigan Property acquired in
June 1997.

Total expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased $92,176 and $322,729 from the same periods in 1996. The increases are
primarily due to increases in interest expense and general and administrative
expenses. The increases in interest expense are primarily due to the assumption
of a mortgage note in connection with the acquisition of the Michigan Property
in June 1997. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased primarily due to property appraisals incurred in
1997.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased $119,351 primarily
due to rental revenue on the Michigan Property, offset by increase in interest
expense on the related debt.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 decreased $338,233 from
1996 due to the decrease in revenues and the increase in expenses discussed
above.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS No. 128").
SFAS No. 128 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per
Share ("APB 15") and specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held
common stock or potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation
of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with
diluted EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures
and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
This statement will be adopted for both interim and annual period ending after
December 15, 1997. The adoption of this SFAS would have had no effect on the
Partnership's net income per unit for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1997.
