In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company assumed
mortgage indebtedness as partial satisfaction of the respective purchase prices,
in the amounts of $42,226 and $5,904, during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company issued
partnership units as partial satisfaction of the respective purchase prices, in
the amounts of $25,596 and $6,000, during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The issuance of these partnership units have been
recorded as minority interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.

During 1998, holders of an aggregate of 525,433 partnership units redeemed such
units for common shares of the Company. This redemption resulted in an increase
in shareholders' equity and a corresponding decrease in minority interest of
$5,650.

During 1998, the Company issued 131,000 common shares to two officers in
exchange for notes aggregating $1,998 which mature on February 14, 2003, bear
interest at 7.6% per annum and are secured by the common shares issued.

       LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1998

                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      The Company

         Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (the "Company") is a self-managed
         and self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") that
         acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of 64
         net leased office, industrial and retail properties. The real
         properties owned by the Company are subject to triple net leases to
         corporate tenants. The Company was organized in 1993 to combine and
         continue to expand the business of two affiliated limited partnerships.

         The Company has qualified as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
         under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A
         real estate investment trust is generally not subject to Federal income
         tax on that portion of its real estate investment trust taxable income
         which is distributed to its shareholders, provided that at least 95% of
         taxable income is distributed. Accordingly, no provision for Federal
         income taxes has been made.

         The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which are,
         in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of
         the results for the interim periods. For a more complete understanding
         of the Company's operations and financial position, reference is made
         to the financial statements previously filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended December 31, 1997.

(2)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's consolidated
         financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
         The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its
         majority-owned subsidiaries, including Lepercq Corporate Income Fund
         L.P. ("LCIF") and Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. ("LCIF II").
         The Company is the sole general partner and majority limited partner of
         LCIF and LCIF II.

         Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing
         net income reduced by preferred dividends by the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during the period.

         Diluted net income per share amounts are similarly computed but include
         the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options and the
         Company's other dilutive securities. The Company's operating
         partnership units are included in the 1998 computations since they are
         dilutive and the preferred shares and exchangeable redeemable secured
         notes are excluded since they are anti-dilutive. The Company's
         preferred shares and exchangeable redeemable secured notes are included
         in the computations for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 since they
         are dilutive and all exchangeable or convertible securities are
         excluded from the computations for the nine months ended September 30,
         1997 calculations since they are anti-dilutive.

         The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of
         the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the quarters
         and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 (dollars in
         thousands, except per share data).

 (4)     Mortgage Notes Payable

         As of September 30, 1998 the amount outstanding on the Company's three
         year $100 million unsecured credit facility, which expires July 2001,
         was approximately $53.2 million and bore interest at 7.1% per annum.
         The credit facility agreement contains various covenant provisions
         which could limit the amount available for future borrowings. As of
         September 30, 1998 the Company was in compliance with such covenants.

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, exclusive of
         borrowings under its credit facility, the Company increased its secured
         indebtedness by $97.2 million which has an average interest rate of
         7.1% and an average maturity of 9 years.

(5)      Minority Interests 

         In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions, sellers were
         given interests in LCIF or LCIF II as a form of consideration. All of
         such interests are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a
         one-for-one basis at various dates through May 2006.

         As of September 30, 1998, the total number of limited partnership units
         of LCIF and LCIF II outstanding was 6,033,982. These units, subject to
         certain adjustments through the date of redemption, have distributions
         per unit in varying amounts up to $1.20 per annum. Minority interests
         in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
         interests in such partnerships held by parties other than the Company.

(6)      Subsequent Events

         On October 21, 1998, the Company declared a dividend of $.30 per share
         to its common shareholders of record on October 30, 1998 to be paid on
         November 16, 1998. The Company also declared a dividend of $.315 per
         share to its preferred shareholders of record on October 30, 1998 to be
         paid on November 16, 1998.

         On October 23, 1998, the Company obtained approximately $5.65 million
         in secured mortgage financing on its property in Hebron, Kentucky. The
         mortgage has a stated interest rate of 7.0%, matures in October 2008
         and provides for annual principal and interest payments of $451,000.

         On October 26, 1998, the Company purchased a 65,000 square foot
         industrial facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for approximately $3.4
         million. The property is net leased to Corporate Express Inc. through
         October 2013 and provides for an annual rent of $368,000.

                  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 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 investment trust, 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. The Company 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.

General

The Company, which has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, acquires and manages net-leased
commercial properties.

As of September 30, 1998, the Company owned sixty-four real estate properties or
interests therein (the "Properties).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Real Estate Assets. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's real estate assets
were located in twenty-eight states and contained an aggregate of approximately
10.7 million square feet of net rentable space. The Properties are subject to
tenant triple net leases, which are generally characterized as a lease in which
the tenant pays all or substantially all of the cost and cost increases for real
estate taxes, capital expenditures, insurance and ordinary maintenance of the
Property. Sixty-three of the sixty-four properties are currently leased.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company made acquisitions
totaling $199.0 million at an unleveraged average annual yield of 11.1%.

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are revenue generated from the
Properties, interest on cash balances, amounts available under its credit
facility and amounts that may be raised through the sale of securities in
private or public offerings. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1998, the leases on the Properties generated approximately $16.9 million and
$44.3 million in revenue compared to $11.2 million and $31.4 million during the
same periods in 1997.

Dividends. The Company has made quarterly distributions since October, 1986
without interruption. The Company paid a dividend of $.27 per share to
shareholders in respect of each of the calendar quarters of 1995 and the first
quarter of 1996; $.28 per share in respect of the second and third quarters of
1996; and $.29 per share in respect of the fourth quarter of 1996, each of the
calendar quarters of 1997 and the first and second quarters of 1998. The Company
declared a dividend in respect of the third quarter of 1998, in the amount of
$.30 per share to shareholders of record as of October 30, 1998 to be paid on
November 16, 1998. The Company's annualized dividend rate is currently $1.20 per
share.

On June 3, 1998, the Company completed the sale of the Newark, California
property, realizing net proceeds of approximately $24.1 million and recognized a
loss approximately $0.4 million.



<PAGE>   10
UPREIT Structure. The Company's UPREIT structure permits the Company to effect
acquisitions by issuing to a seller, as a form of consideration, interests in
partnerships controlled by the Company. All of such interests are redeemable at
certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis and all of such interests
require the Company to pay certain distributions to the holders of such
interests. The Company accounts for these interests in a manner similar to a
minority interest holder. The number of common shares that will be outstanding
in the future should be expected to increase, and minority interest expense
should be expected to decrease, from time to time, as such partnership interests
are redeemed for common shares. The table set forth below provides certain
information with respect to such partnership interests as of September 30, 1998.

Financing

Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 1998 the amount outstanding on
the Company's credit facility was approximately $53.2 million and bore interest
at 7.1% per annum.

Debt Service Requirements. The Company's principal liquidity needs are the
payment of interest and principal on outstanding mortgage debt. As of September
30, 1998, a total of fifty-one properties were subject to outstanding mortgages
which had an aggregate principal amount of $344.3 million. The weighted average
interest rate on the Company's debt on such date was approximately 7.71%.
Approximate balloon payment amounts for the next five calendar years, including
the remainder of 1998, are due as follows: $0 in 1998; $5.6 million in 1999;
$13.1 million in 2000; $1.0 million in 2001 and $9.6 million in 2002. There are
no balloon payments due in 2003. The ability of the Company to make such balloon
payments will depend upon its ability to refinance the mortgage related thereto,
sell the related property, have available amounts under its credit facility or
access to other capital sufficient to satisfy such balloon payments. The ability
of the Company to accomplish such goals will be impacted by numerous economic
factors, including the available mortgage rates at the time, the Company's
equity in the mortgaged properties, the financial condition of the Company, the
operating history of the mortgaged properties, the then current tax laws and the
general national, regional and local economic conditions at the time.

Lease Obligations. Since the Company's tenants bear all or substantially all of
the cost of property maintenance and capital improvements, the Company does not
anticipate significant needs for cash for property maintenance or repairs. The
Company generally funds property expansions with additional secured borrowings,
the repayment of which is funded out of rental increases under the leases
covering the expanded properties.

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 Company 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 Company has determined
that it will not be necessary to modify, update or replace it's computer
hardware and software applications.

The vendor that provides the Company's existing general ledger software has
released a compliant version of its product which the Company is currently
using. The cost of the general ledger system did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company's properties, which have no scheduled lease expirations prior to
August 17, 2000, 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 Company 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 costs
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 Company would not be significant.

The Company 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 Company is attempting to receive compliance
certificates from all third parties that have a material impact on the Company'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 Company's entire Year 2000 compliance
function and will develop contingency plans if necessary.

</TABLE>

Changes in the results of operations for the Company were primarily due to the
growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. The increase in
interest income and other revenue was primarily due to income recorded on the
Newark, California Property, which was sold, and interest income earned on the
increased escrow deposits. The increase in interest expense due to the growth of
the Company's portfolio was partially offset by a reduction in the weighted
average interest rate from 8.06% as of September 30, 1997 to 7.71% as of
September 30, 1998, due to debt refinancings and repayments. The Company's
general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 7.3%
and 6.8% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively,
from 7.7% and 8.5% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 due
to the growth of the Company's portfolio relative to these expenses.

Funds From Operations

Management believes that Funds From Operations enhances an investor's
understanding of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows and believes it is an appropriate performance measure for an equity
REIT which provides an indication of a REIT's ability to make cash
distributions. Funds From Operations is defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) as "net income (or loss) (computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real
estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures." The Company's method of calculating Funds From
Operations excludes other non-recurring revenue and expense items and may be
different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, is not comparable
to such other REITs. Funds From Operations should not be considered an
alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash
flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a
measure of liquidity to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data as
determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's Funds From
Operations and cash flow activities for the quarters and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 ($000).

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133") "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This
Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have any impact on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
