                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                               September 30, 1998
                                   (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 to invest in
         real estate properties or interests therein net leased to corporations
         or other entities.

         As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership has a total of 477,167 Units
         issued and outstanding held by approximately 2,100 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, 1997.

         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.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Net income per Unit amounts were calculated by using the weighted
         average number of Units outstanding for each period and allocating 98%
         of the income attributable for that period to the Limited Partners. The
         weighted average number of Units outstanding was 477,167 for all the
         periods presented.

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

         In June 1997, SFAS No. 130,"Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS
         No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
         Information," were issued. SFAS No. 130 established standards for
         reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a
         financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
         financial statements. Reclassification of financial statements for
         earlier periods, provided for comparative purposes, is required. The
         statement also requires the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
         income to be displayed separately from retained earnings and additional
         paid-in capital in equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 131
         establishes standards for reporting information about operating
         segments in annual and interim financial statements.

2.       Continued

         Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about
         which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
         regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
         allocate resources and in assessing performance. Categories required to
         be reported as well as reconciled to the financial statements are
         segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and
         segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for fiscal years
         beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these standards had
         no impact on the Partnership's financial position and operating results
         as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

3.       The Partnership Agreement

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

         Distributable cash attributed to a particular limited partner's Unit is
         calculated from the date of admission to the Partnership. The unpaid
         cumulative preferred return at September 30, 1998 totaled $23.478
         million ($47.96 to $49.90 per Unit, per close). On October 30, 1998,
         the cumulative preferred return that was unpaid at September 30, 1998
         was reduced by a cash distribution to the Limited Partners for the
         quarter ended September 30, 1998 totaling $596,459 ($1.25 per Unit).
         The General Partner received a cash distribution of $12,173 on October
         30, 1998.

4.       Properties

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Partnership
         entered into the following real estate transactions:

         satisfaction of the purchase prices.

         In addition, the Partnership sold two properties for an aggregate
         selling price of $12.1 million and recognized a gain of approximately
         $4.5 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS No. 131, 
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," were 
issued. SFAS No. 130 established standards for reporting and displaying 
comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is 
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. 
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods, provided for 
comparative purposes, is required. The statement also requires the accumulated 
balance of other comprehensive income to be displayed separately from retained 
earnings and additional paid-in capital in equity section of the balance sheet. 
SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for reporting information about operating 
segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are 
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial 
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating 
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing 
performance. Categories required to be reported as well as reconciled to the 
financial statements are segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and 
expense items, and segment assets. SFAS No. 130 and No. 131 are effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these standards 
had no impact on the Partnership's financial position and operating results as 
of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Impact of Year 2000

The Year 2000 compliance issue concerns the inability of computer systems to
accurately calculate, store or use a date after 1999. This could result in a
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations.
The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and organizations.

The Partnership has been taking the necessary steps to understand the nature and
extent of the work required to make its core information computer systems and
non-information embedded systems Year 2000 compliant. The Partnership has
determined that it will not be necessary to modify, update or replace its
computer hardware and software applications.

The vendor that provides the Partnership's existing general ledger software has
released a compliant version of its product which the Partnership is currently
using. The cost of the general ledger system did not have a material effect on
the Partnership's financial condition or results of operations. The
Partnership's properties, which have no scheduled lease expirations prior to
August 18, 2002, are subject to net leases and accordingly the Year 2000
compliance of embedded systems (e.g., security, HVAC, fire and elevator systems)
are the responsibility of the tenants. The Partnership has contacted each of its
tenants asking them to identify and evaluate the changes and modifications
necessary to make these systems compliant for Year 2000 processing. The cost
associated with the effect to make the embedded systems Year 2000 compliant are
the tenant's responsibility. However, no assurances can be given that the
properties embedded systems will be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1999 and
compliance costs, if any, incurred by the Partnership would not be significant.

The Partnership is communicating with significant third-party service providers
and vendors with which it does business to determine the efforts being made on
their part for compliance. The Partnership is attempting to receive compliance
certificates from all third parties that have a material impact on the
Partnership's operations, but no assurance can be given with respect to the cost
or timing of such efforts or the potential effects of any failure to comply.

Management will closely monitor the Partnership's entire Year 2000 compliance
function and will develop contingent plans if necessary.

The changes in results of operations with respect to revenues, interest and
depreciation for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 are primarily attributed
to the operations of real property investments acquired in the third quarter of
1998.

General and administrative expenses decreased in the nine months ended September
30, 1998, due to lower property operating expenses.
