                               September 30, 1999
                                   (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
         net leased real estate properties or interests therein.

         As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership has a total of 477,167 Units
         issued and outstanding held by approximately 2,000 limited partners.

         The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in
         the opinion of the General Partner, necessary to present 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, 1998.

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
         periods presented.

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

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

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, 1999 totaled $26.34
         million ($53.96 to $55.90 per Unit, per close). On October 29, 1999,
         the unpaid cumulative preferred return was reduced by a cash
         distribution to the Limited Partners totaling $596,459 ($1.25 per
         Unit). The General Partner received a cash distribution of $12,173 on
         October 29, 1999.

5.       Mortgage Notes Payable

         During 1999, the Partnership obtained approximately $14.63 million and
         $6.58 million in mortgages secured by its Ocala, Florida and Bristol,
         Pennsylvania Properties, respectively. The mortgages bear interest at
         7.25% per annum and mature on February 1, 2009 and April 1, 2009,
         respectively. Balloon payments of $10,700,000 and $5,228,000 are
         required at maturity. The notes require yearly payments of principal
         and interest of $1,332,000 and $571,000, respectively.

6.       Related Party Transactions

         The LCP Group, L.P., 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). For the nine months ended September 30, 1999
         and 1998, property management fees, which are included in general and
         administrative expenses, totaled $71,000 and $48,000, respectively.

         During 1999, the Partnership paid Lexington Corporate Properties Trust,
         whose chairman is an officer of the General Partner, acquisition and
         disposition fees totaling $337,000. In addition, the Jacksonville,
         Alabama and Columbia, South Carolina Properties were purchased from
         Lexington Corporate Properties Trust.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.

The unpaid cumulative preferred return at September 30, 1999 totaled $26.34
million ($53.96 to $55.90 per Unit, per close), and was reduced by $596,459
($1.25 per Unit) with the distribution paid in October 1999.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership entered into
the following real estate transactions:

On September 22, 1999, the Partnership sold the remaining NCS property for net
proceeds of approximately $369,000, which resulted in a gain of approximately
$61,000.

During 1999, the Partnership obtained approximately $14.63 million and $6.58
million in mortgages secured by its Ocala, Florida and Bristol, Pennsylvania

payments of principal and interest of $1,332,000 and $571,000, respectively.

Except for the debt service requirements under the mortgages, there are no
material restrictions upon the Partnership's present or future ability to make
distributions in accordance with the provisions of its Partnership Agreement.

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 is
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 has closely monitored the Partnership's entire Year 2000 compliance
function. At this time, the Partnership has not developed and does not
anticipate developing any contingency plans with respect to the Year 2000 issue.

</TABLE>

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
are primarily attributable to the acquisition and operation of the real property
investments acquired from 1989 to 1999.

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased
due to the net effect of properties acquired in the first three quarters of
1999, offset by property sales.

Interest, depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 due to acquisitions and additional debt
financing in the first three quarters of 1999.

General and administrative expenses increased in the nine months ended September
30, 1999 due to property appraisals performed on properties.

                  ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK
                  ------------------------------------------------

The Partnership's exposure to market risk relates to its variable rate credit
facility. As of September 30, 1999, the Partnership's variable rate indebtedness
represented 39% of total long-term indebtedness. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, the variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average
interest rate of 8.42% and 8.21%, respectively. Had the weighted average
interest rates been 100 basis points higher, the Partnership's net income for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, would have been
approximately $62,000 and $185,000 less, respectively.
