           partners.

           The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments that are,
           in the opinion of the General Partner, necessary to a fair statement
           of condition and 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/A for
           the year ended December 31, 1999.

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.

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, 2000 totaled
           $29.204 million ($59.96 to $61.90 per Unit, per close). On October
           30, 2000, the cumulative preferred return that was unpaid at
           September 30, 2000 was reduced by a cash distribution to the Limited
           Partners for the three months ended September 30, 2000 totaling
           $596,459 ($1.25 per Unit). The General Partner received a cash
           distribution of $12,173 in October 2000.

6.         Related Party Transactions

           Leased Properties Management, Inc., an affiliate of Lexington
           Corporate Properties Trust ("Lexington"), whose chairman and Co-Chief
           Executive Officer is an officer and a shareholder 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, 2000 and 1999, property management fees, which are
           included in general and administrative expenses, totaled $71,500 and

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



Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Form 10-Q Report, the words "believes", "expects", "estimates"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially. In particular, among the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially are failure to continue to qualify as
a real estate partnership, general business and economic conditions,
competition, increases in real estate construction costs, change in interest
rates, accessibility of debt and equity capital markets and other risks inherent
in the real estate business including tenant defaults, potential liability
relating to environmental matters and illiquidity of real estate investments.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Partnership undertakes
no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

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, 2000 totaled $29.204
million ($59.96 to $61.90 per Unit, per close), and was reduced by $596,459
($1.25 per Unit) with the third quarter 2000 distribution paid in September
2000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership entered into
the following real estate transactions:

repairs and maintenance.

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.

On November 14, 2000, Lexington and Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P. announced that
they entered into a merger agreement whereby Net 1 L.P. and Net 2 L.P.would

</TABLE>

The change in results of operations with respect to revenues, interest and
depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are
primarily attributable to the acquisition and operation of the real property
investments acquired during the first nine months of 2000.

Rental revenues decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2000 due to
the vacancy of the Missouri property, whose tenant filed for bankruptcy and
rejected the lease.

Interest and other income, included in total revenues, decreased due to interest
earned on escrow accounts until the second quarter of 2000. The escrow accounts
were restricted under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 for property
investments. These accounts were closed in June 2000.

General and administrative expenses did not materially change for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the quarter ended September 30,
2000, the Partnership accrued costs relating to a proposed transaction.

                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, 2000, the Partnership's variable rate indebtedness
represented 41% of total long-term indebtedness. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, the variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average
interest rate of 9.17% and 9.30%, 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, 2000, would have been
approximately $62,000 and $180,000 less, respectively.
