FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     When used in this Form 10-K 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,
which could cause actual results to differ materially. In particular, among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are continued
qualification as a real estate partnership, general business and economic
conditions, competition, increases in real estate construction costs, 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.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     Net 2 L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership formed on November
9, 1988 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Delaware for
the purpose of investing primarily in existing commercial properties triple net
leased to corporations or other entities. The Partnership Agreement was restated
and amended on June 13, 1994, which enables the Partnership to make additional
real estate investments.

     The General Partner of the Partnership is Lepercq Net 2 L.P.; a Delaware
limited partnership (the "General Partner"). Lepercq Net 2 Inc. is the general
partner of the General Partner. The directors and executive officers of Lepercq
Net 2 Inc. are discussed in PART III, Item 10 (Directors and Executive Officers
of the Registrant). Leased Properties Management, Inc., an affiliate of Lepercq
Net 2 Inc., performs certain property management services in connection with the
operation of the Partnership's business.

     The Partnership commenced an offering to the public of 500,000 units at
$100 per unit of limited partnership interests (the "Units") on January 10, 1989
pursuant to a Prospectus. On July 19, 1990, the Partnership held the final
admission of Limited Partners, and the offering was terminated after a total of
477,417 units had been sold, equaling $47.742 million in capital contributions.
The Partnership returned a capital contribution of $25,000 (250 Units) to a
limited partner admitted in December 1989. No additional Units have been
returned nor repurchased since 1990.

     The Partnership invests in net leased real properties (or interests
therein) located throughout the United States, which offer the potential for (i)
preservation and protection of the capital of the limited partners of the
Partnership, (ii) providing increasing cash available for distributions, (iii)
providing tax benefits so that a portion of the cash distributions is sheltered
from current income taxation, and (iv) appreciation in value of the
Partnership's investments.

     Investments are made in various types of commercial real properties and
interests therein. Such investments may include, but are not limited to: fitness
centers, warehouses, distribution centers, office buildings, retail stores,
hotels, motels, nursing homes and congregate care facilities. Investments are
not restricted as to specific geographical areas; however, all of the
Partnership's investments are made within the United States.

                                        3
<PAGE>   4

     The Partnership attempts to negotiate provisions in its leases which will
provide that all the risks of such matters as fitness for use or purpose, design
or condition, quality of material or workmanship, latent or patent defects, the
Partnership's title, value, compliance with specifications, location, use,
merchantability, quality, description, durability or operation are borne by the
lessees. However, competitive conditions may require that the Partnership accept
certain risks, in which case it will attempt to arrange adequate insurance, if
available at a reasonable cost.

     Each of the following properties (as hereinafter defined) accounted for 10%
or more of consolidated rental revenues for the years ended December 31:

   (*) These properties consist of two office/warehouse facilities, one in Ohio
       and one in Arizona.

  (**) These properties consist of thirteen retail stores and were sold on
       December 28, 1999.

 (***) These properties consist of fourteen retail stores and were sold on
       January 25, 1999.

(****) This property was sold on September 29, 1998.

     The Partnership attempts to maintain a working capital cash reserve in an
amount equal to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the 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 cash requirements of the Partnership, additional
funds may be obtained through short-term or permanent loans or by reducing
distributions to limited partners.

     The Partnership operates in one industry segment, investment in net leased
real property.

     The General Partner has granted Lexington Corporate Properties Trust
("Lexington"), whose chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer is an officer and a
shareholder of the General Partner, an option exercisable at any time, to
acquire the general partnership interest. Under the terms of the option,
Lexington subject to review of any such transactions by the independent members
of its Board of Trustees, may acquire the general partnership interest at its
fair market value based upon a formula relating to partnership cash flows, with
Lexington retaining the option of paying such fair market value in securities of
Lexington, limited partnership units in controlled subsidiaries, cash or a
combination thereof. Lexington provides the Partnership with various
administrative services.

  Competition

     The real estate business is highly competitive and the Partnership competes
with numerous established companies having significantly greater resources and
experience. Competition may also come from other partnerships that have been or
may be formed by the General Partner or its affiliates.

                                        4

  Environmental Matters

     Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules and regulations, an owner of real property may be liable for
the costs of removal or redemption of certain hazardous or toxic substances at,
on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating
to hazardous or toxic substances (including government fines and penalties and
damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property). Such laws often impose
liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for,
the presence or disposal of such substances. Although the Partnership's tenants
are responsible for any environmental damage and claims related to the leased
premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of the tenant of such
premises to satisfy any obligations with respect thereto, the Partnership may be
required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, under certain environmental
laws, the Partnership, as the owner of such properties, may be held directly
liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any
lease.

     From time to time, in connection with the conduct of the Partnership's
business, and prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as
required by the Partnership's financing sources, the Partnership authorizes the
preparation of Phase I environmental reports with respect to its properties.
Based upon such environmental reports and management's ongoing review of its
properties, as of the date of this report, management was not aware of any
environmental condition with respect to any of the Partnership's properties
which management believed would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership. There can be no assurance, however, that (i) the
discovery of environmental conditions, the existence or severity of which were
previously unknown, (ii) changes in law, (iii) the conduct of tenants or (iv)
activities relating to properties in the vicinity of the Partnership's
Properties will not expose the Partnership to material liability in the future.
Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions
existing on properties, or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other
conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise
adversely affect the operations of the Partnership's tenants, which would
adversely affect the Partnership's financial condition and results of
operations, including funds from operations.

  Employees

     The Partnership has no employees. All necessary personnel are provided by
the General Partner or its affiliates or agents. See Part III Item 10,
"Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant" and Item 13, "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
        MATTERS

     An established public trading market for the Units does not exist, and it
is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the near future. Further,
the transfer of Units is subject to substantial restrictions. Accordingly,
information as to the market value of a Unit at any given date is not available.

     As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,983 investors holding 477,167 limited
partnership units.

     The Partnership makes quarterly cash distributions. Cash distributions paid
per Unit of limited partnership interest for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999 was $5.00.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On January 10, 1989, the Partnership commenced the sale of up to 500,000
Units of limited partnership interests at $100 per Unit with the option to offer
an additional 500,000 Units. As of July 19, 1990, the Partnership had raised a
total of $47.742 million in capital contributions (477,417 Units) and the
offering was terminated. The net offering proceeds consisting of aggregate gross
offering proceeds of $47.742 million less related offering costs of $5.691
million along with the proceeds from a closing loan, bridge financing and
mortgage debt, have been utilized by the Partnership to invest in triple net
leased real estate properties (or interests therein); to pay for related
property acquisition expenses, financing and acquisition fees; and to provide
for a working capital reserve. The Partnership returned a capital contribution
of $25,000 (250 Units) to a limited partner admitted in December 1989. No
additional Units have been returned nor repurchased since 1990.

     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, limited partnership Units may be
repurchased at 90% of the net asset value 60 days after the offer to repurchase
has been made.

     The Partnership attempts to maintain a working capital cash reserve in an
amount equal to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the 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 cash 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 December 31, 1999 totaled $27.057
million ($55.46 to $57.40 per Unit, per close), and was reduced by $596,459
($1.25 per Unit) with the fourth quarter 1999 distribution paid on January 31,
2000.

     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.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership acquired the
following properties:

     On January 8, 1999, the Partnership obtained approximately $14.63 million
in mortgages secured by its Ocala, Florida Property. The mortgage bears interest
at 7.25% per annum and matures on February 1, 2009. A balloon payment of
$10,700,000 is required at maturity. The note requires yearly payment of
principal and interest of $1,332,000.

     The Jacksonville and the Columbia Properties were purchased from Lexington.

     In January 1999, the Partnership sold thirteen of the fourteen NCS
Properties for net proceeds of approximately $5.33 million, which resulted in a
gain of approximately $709,000.

     In September 1999, the Partnership sold the remaining NCS property for net
proceeds of approximately $369,000, which resulted in a gain of approximately
$60,000.

     In December 1999, the Partnership sold the property located in Bristol,
Pennsylvania and one in Southborough, Massachusetts for approximately $13.2
million. The Bristol and the Southborough Properties were sold to Lexington.
Lexington assumed mortgage indebtedness in its purchase of these properties of
approximately $9.1 million. The sale resulted in a net gain of approximately
$276,000.

     In December 1999, the Partnership sold twelve properties located in
Michigan for approximately $7.7 million. The sale resulted in a loss of
approximately $261,000.

     As of December 31, 1999, the restricted cash represents proceeds from the
sale of properties restricted for investment in future acquisitions.

     On October 29, 1998, the Partnership received an increase and an extension
on the line of credit of up to $24.5 million from Nations Credit Commercial
Corporation bearing interest at a rate of 315 basis points over LIBOR. As of
December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $23.59
million with an interest rate of 9.63%. The line of credit matures on May 1,
2000. The Partnership is currently exploring opportunities to either extend or
refinance this agreement.

  Impact of Year 2000

     To date there have been no situations that the General Partner is aware of,
where the Year 2000 issue has caused a computer system that effects the
Partnership or any of its properties to function improperly.

</TABLE>

     The changes in results of operations with respect to revenues, interest and
depreciation for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are primarily
attributable to the operations of the real property investments acquired and
related mortgage debt assumed and obtained, as described above. Included in
total revenues are interest and other revenues, which had increased $156,000 in
1999 and decreased $57,000 in 1998. The increase in interest and other income in
1999 resulted from interest earned from escrow accounts, restricted for
investment in future acquisitions. The decrease in interest and other revenues
in 1998, resulted from lower cash balances maintained.

     General and administrative expenses decreased in 1999 and increased in 1998
due to transactional expenses incurred in 1998 relating to the proposed
partnership roll-up.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Partnership's exposure to market risk relates to its variable rate
credit facility. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership's variable rate
indebtedness represented 45% of total long-term indebtedness. During 1999, this
variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of 8.39%. Had
the weighted average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, the
Partnership's net income would have been approximately $242,000 less.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Partners
Net 2 L.P.:

     We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Net 2 L.P. and
consolidated subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection
with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited
the consolidated financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying
index. These consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements and the consolidated financial statement schedule based on our
audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Net 2 L.P.
and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related consolidated financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

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. The Partnership terminates on
December 31, 2028.

     On January 10, 1989, the Partnership commenced the sale of up to 500,000
Units of limited partnership interests at $100 per Unit with the option to offer
an additional 50,000 Units. On July 19, 1990, the Partnership held the final
admission of Limited Partners. The Partnership raised a total of $47.742 million
(477,417 Units) from 2,396 investors and the offering was terminated. The
Partnership returned a capital contribution of $25,000 (250 Units) to a limited
partner admitted in December 1989. No additional Units have been returned nor
repurchased since 1990.

     Pursuant to the partnership agreement, limited partnership units may be
repurchased at 90% of the net asset value 60 days after the offer to repurchase
has been made.

     As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,983 investors holding 477,167 limited
partnership units.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Partnership's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis.

     The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Partnership, Net 2
Canton LLC and Net 2 Ocala LLC, on a consolidated basis. The Partnership owns
100% interest in each of Net 2 Canton LLC and Net 2 Ocala LLC.

     Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. If
there is an event or change in circumstance that indicates an impairment in the
value of a property has occurred, the Partnership's policy is to assess any
impairment in value by making a comparison of the current and projected
operating cash flows of each such property over its remaining useful life, on an
undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. If such carrying
amounts are in excess of the estimated projected operating cash flows of the
property, the Partnership would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an
amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair market
value. No such impairment loss has occurred.

     All direct costs associated with the acquisition of real estate are
capitalized.

     Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic useful lives of the properties. The Partnership generally
depreciates buildings over a 40-year period.

                    NET 2 L.P. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The leases relating to the properties are operating leases in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Rental revenue is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
rent receivable consists of the excess of rental revenues on a straight-line
basis over the rents collectible under the lease.

     Percentage rent is recognized on a cash basis. The percentage rents
received for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $170,000,
$100,000 and $0, respectively.

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of
three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

     As of December 31, 1999, the restricted cash represents proceeds from the
sale of properties restricted for investment in future acquisitions.

     No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for such taxes
is that of the individual partners rather than of the Partnership.

     Deferred expenses are comprised of loan fees, which are amortized using the
straight-line method over the term of the loans.

     Income per Unit amounts were calculated by using the weighted average
number of Units outstanding for each year and allocating the income attributable
for that year to the Limited Partners. The weighted average number of Units
outstanding for each of the years in the three-year ended December 31, 1999 was
477,167.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged at a current transaction between willing
parties. The Partnership's cash, mortgage notes payable, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities are considered to be financial instruments and are carried
at cost, which approximates fair value.

     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 revenue and
expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

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

3. THE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is
liable for all general obligations of the Partnership to the extent not paid by
the Partnership. The Limited Partners are not liable for the debts of the
Partnership beyond their contributed capital.

     Distributable cash from operations, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, is generally to be distributed 98% to the Limited Partners and 2% to
the General Partner until each limited partner has received total distributions
from operations equal to an 11% cumulative non-compounded preferred return.
Thereafter, such distributions are to be made 90% to the Limited Partners and
10% to the General Partner.

     Distributable cash from capital transactions, as defined, is generally to
be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until
each limited partner has received total distributions from capital transactions
equal to an 11% cumulative non-compounded preferred return plus a return of its
capital contribution. Thereafter, such distributions are to be made 85% to the
Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partner. As of December 31, 1999, the
Partnership has not made any distributions of proceeds from capital
transactions.

     For financial 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 December 31, 1999 totaled $27.057 million ($55.46 to $57.40
per Unit, per close). On January 31, 2000, the cumulative preferred return that
was unpaid at December 31, 1999 was reduced by a cash distribution to the
Limited Partners for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 totaling $596,459
($1.25 per unit). The General Partner received a cash distribution of $12,173 on
January 31, 2000.

     Cash distributions paid per Unit of limited partnership interest for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 was $5.00.

     Taxable income as defined, before depreciation, generally is allocated in
the same proportion as cumulative distributions of distributable cash or

credit of up to $24.5 million bearing interest at a rate of 315 basis points
over LIBOR. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding balance of the line of

owned would not be mortgaged to secure any other indebtedness. If the value of
the collateral falls below certain specified levels, the Partnership will be
required to provide additional security or to prepay a portion of the loan. The
mortgage note is recourse to the Partnership but not to its Limited or General
Partners. The loan may be prepaid, subject to certain prepayment penalties, as
defined.
