ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (the "Company"), formerly Lexington
Corporate Properties, Inc., is a Maryland statutory real estate investment trust
that acquires, owns, and manages a diverse portfolio of office, industrial and
retail properties. The real properties owned by the Company are, with one
exception, subject to triple net leases to corporate tenants. References herein
to the "Company" shall include references to the Company, two affiliated
partnerships (the "Partnerships") and the Company's predecessor, Lexington
Corporate Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation which was organized in
October 1993, reincorporated in Maryland in June 1994 and was merged into the
Company on December 31, 1997.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company's real property portfolio consisted of
fifty properties (or interests therein) (the "Properties") located in
twenty-five states, including warehousing, distribution and manufacturing
facilities, office buildings and retail properties containing an aggregate of
approximately 6.95 million net rentable square feet of space. This does not
include the Newark, California property held for sale. All of the Company's
Properties, with one exception, are subject to triple net leases, which are
generally characterized as leases in which the tenant bears all, or
substantially all, of the costs and cost increases for real estate taxes,
insurance and ordinary maintenance. The Company also has ownership interests of
33.85% and 19% in two partnerships whose real estate assets each consist of a
property subject to a triple net lease. These two properties consist of an
aggregate of 217,000 square feet of net rentable space. For the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's Properties generated
consolidated rental revenue of approximately $42.5 million, $31.2 million and
$24.5 million, respectively. The Properties are more fully described in Item 2
below.

Of the fifty-one Properties indirectly or directly owned by the Company, the
three following properties accounted for 10% or more of consolidated rental
revenues for the years ended December 31:

Objectives and Strategy

The Company's primary objectives are to increase Funds From Operations (as
defined in Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations) and cash available for distribution to its
shareholders. Since 1995, management has principally focused on:

      o     effectively managing assets through lease extensions, revenue
            enhancing property expansions, opportunistic property sales and
            redeployment of assets, when advisable;


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

      o     acquiring portfolios and individual net lease properties from third
            parties, completing sale/leaseback transactions, acquiring
            build-to-suit properties and acquiring properties from affiliated
            net lease partnerships; and

      o     refinancing existing indebtedness at lower average interest rates
            and increasing the Company's access to capital to finance property
            acquisitions and expansions.

      Internal Growth; Effectively Managing Assets

      Tenant Relations and Lease Compliance. The Company maintains close contact
with its tenants in order to understand their future real estate needs. The
Company monitors the financial, property maintenance and other lease obligations
of its tenants through a variety of means, including periodic reviews of
financial statements and physical inspections of the Properties. The Company
performs annual inspections of those Properties where it has an ongoing
obligation with respect to the maintenance of the Property and for all
Properties during each of the last three years immediately prior to lease
expiration. Biannual physical inspections are undertaken for all other
Properties.

      Extending Lease Maturities. The Company seeks to extend its leases in
advance of their expiration in order to maintain a balanced lease rollover
schedule. Since February 1994, the Company has entered into lease extensions of
three years or more on ten of its Properties.

      Revenue Enhancing Property Expansions. The Company undertakes expansions
of its Properties based on tenant requirements. The Company believes that
selective property expansions can provide it with attractive rates of return and
actively seeks such opportunities.

      Property Sales and Redeployment of Assets. The Company may determine to
sell a Property, either to the Property's existing tenant or to a third party,
if it deems such disposition to be in the Company's best interest. As of
December 31, 1997, the Company had sold two Properties. The restrictions
applicable to REITs may limit the Company's ability to dispose of a property.

      Acquisition Strategies

      The Company seeks to enhance its net lease property portfolio through
acquisitions of general purpose, efficient, well-located buildings in growing
markets. Management has diversified the Company's portfolio by geographical
location, tenant industry segment, lease term expiration and property type with
the intention of providing steady internal growth with low volatility.
Management believes that such diversification should help insulate the Company
from regional recession, industry specific downturns and price fluctuations by
property type. Prior to effecting any acquisitions, management analyzes the (i)
property's design, construction quality, efficiency, functionality and location
with respect to the immediate sub-market, city and region; (ii) lease integrity
with respect to term, rental rate increases, corporate guarantees and property
maintenance provisions; (iii) present and anticipated conditions in the local
real estate market; and (iv) prospects for selling or releasing the property on
favorable terms in the event of a vacancy. Management also evaluates each
potential tenant's financial strength, growth prospects, competitive position
within its respective industry and a property's strategic location and function
within a tenant's operations or distribution systems. Management believes that
its comprehensive underwriting process is critical to the assessment of
long-term profitability of any investment by the Company.

      Operating Partnership Structure. The operating partnership structure
enables the Company to acquire properties by issuing to a seller, as a form of
consideration, Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units"). Management believes
that this structure facilitates the Company's ability to raise capital and to
acquire portfolio and individual properties by enabling the Company to structure
transactions which may defer tax gains for a contributor of property while
preserving the Company's available cash for other purposes, including the
payment of distributions. The Company has used OP Units as a form of
consideration in connection with the acquisition of 15 of the 32 Properties or
the interests therein acquired by the Company since January 1, 1995 (including
the 2 properties in the 2 unconsolidated partnerships).

      Acquisitions of Portfolio and Individual Net Lease Properties. The Company
seeks to acquire portfolio and individual properties that are leased to
creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases.


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Management believes there is significantly less competition for the acquisition
of property portfolios containing a number of net leased properties located in
more than one geographic region. Management also believes that the Company's
geographical diversification, acquisition experience and access to capital will
allow it to compete effectively for the acquisition of such net leased
properties.

      Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company seeks to acquire portfolio and
individual net lease properties in sale/leaseback transactions. The Company
selectively pursues sale/leaseback transactions with creditworthy
sellers/tenants with respect to properties that are integral to the
sellers'/tenants' ongoing operations.

      Build-to-suit Properties. The Company may also acquire, after construction
has been completed, "build-to-suit" properties that are entirely pre-leased to
their intended corporate users before construction. As a result, the Company
does not assume the risk associated with the construction phase of a project.

      Acquisitions from Affiliated Net Lease Partnerships. Management believes
that net lease partnerships affiliated with the Company provide it with an
opportunity to acquire properties with which management is already familiar. As
of December 31, 1997, the Company had acquired ten Properties and minority
interests in two additional properties from its affiliated limited partnerships.
On January 29, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of partnership
interests in two limited partnerships, one of which was an affiliate of an
officer of the Company, in exchange for the Company's operating partnership
units. The assets of the partnerships acquired included approximately $23.5
million in cash. The units are exchangeable for an equal number of Common Shares
and are entitled to receive distributions at the same dividend rate as the
common shares.


The LCP Group, L.P. ("LCP"), an affiliate of E. Robert Roskind, Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has granted
the Company an option (the "Option"), exercisable at any time, to acquire
general partnership interests ("General Partnership Interests") currently owned
by LCP in two limited partnerships, Net 1, L.P. and Net 2, L.P. (together, the
Net Partnerships"), which own net leased office, industrial and retail
properties. The Net Partnerships own a total of 61 single-tenant properties
located in 16 states which contain approximately 1.4 million net rentable square
feet. The tenants of such properties include Alco Standard Corporation,
Ameritech Services, Honeywell, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Under the terms of
the Option, the Company, subject to review of any such transaction by the
independent members of its Board of Directors, may acquire the General
Partnership Interests at their fair market value based upon a formula relating
to partnership cash flows, with the Company retaining the option of paying such
fair market value in securities of the Company, OP Units, cash or a combination
thereof. The Company has not yet determined whether to exercise the Option.

      Refinancing Existing Indebtedness and Increasing Access to Capital

      As a result of the Company's financing activities, the weighted average
interest rate on the Company's outstanding indebtedness has been reduced from
approximately 10.00% as of December 31, 1994 to approximately 8.17% as of
December 31, 1997. In addition, management is constantly pursuing opportunities
to increase the Company's access to public and private capital in order to
achieve maximum operating flexibility.

Competition. The real estate business is highly competitive and the Company
competes with numerous established companies having significant resources and
experience.

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
Company's tenants are primarily 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 Company may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition,
under certain environmental laws, the Company, as the owner of such properties,
may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the
provisions of any lease.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

From time to time, in connection with the conduct of the Company's business, and
prior to the acquisition of any property from a third party or as required by
the Company's financing sources, the Company 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 Company's Properties which management believed would
be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. 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 Company's Properties will not expose the Company 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 Company's
tenants, which would adversely affect the Company's funds from operations.

Employees. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a total of twenty-three
employees.

Industry Segments. The Company operates in one industry segment, investment in
net leased real property.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1997, the net book value of the Company's real property
portfolio totaled approximately $415.4 million, not including the Newark,
California property held for sale. The Company does not believe that historical
book value is necessarily indicative of current fair market value. As of
December 31, 1997, forty-one of the fifty-one Properties were subject to
outstanding mortgages, including accrued and unpaid interest as of such date, of
approximately $220.6 million. This debt includes the amount outstanding under
the Company's secured revolving credit facility and the REMIC financing.

1997 Property Acquisitions

During 1997, the Company made the following acquisitions:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company was sued in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois on May 31, 1995, by United Municipal Leasing Corporation.
The complaint filed in this case alleged that the Company breached a letter of
intent by failing to execute definitive documentation and close a transaction in
which the plaintiff proposed to sell property to the Company. The complainant
sought $800,000 in monetary damages. During 1997, the Court ruled in favor of
the Company. No monetary damages were incurred by the Company in connection with
this matter.

On August 26, 1996, Ross Stores, Inc., the tenant in the Newark Property,
exercised an option to purchase such Property for its fair market value. In
connection with this negotiation the Company was required to post a bond in an
amount equivalent to one year's rent. After some deliberation the parties have
negotiated to sell the property on or about April 1, 1998 for $24.55 million.

(1) Loss on extinguishment of debt is reported as an extraordinary item on the
consolidated statements of income.

(2) The Company believes that Funds From Operations enhances an investor's
understanding of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. The Company believes that Funds From Operations is an appropriate
measure of the performance of an equity REIT, and that it can be one measure 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 the Company's
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.

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

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. The Company has operated as a REIT since October 1993
when it initially issued 9.3 million shares of its Common Shares, approximately
169,000 units of special limited partnership units (which are exchangeable for
an equivalent number common shares shares) and approximately $1.877 million in
principal amount of 7.75% Subordinated Notes due 2000.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company was the indirect or direct owner of
fifty-one triple net leased real estate properties (or interests therein)
(including the Newark, California property held for sale).

On December 31, 1997, the Company completed a reorganization, becoming a
Maryland statutory real estate investment trust. Immediately prior to the
reorganization, the Company had been a Maryland corporation. The reorganization
did not result in any material change in the Company's business or operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Real Estate Assets. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's real estate
assets consisted of the Properties. The Properties are located in twenty-five
states and contain an aggregate of approximately 7.5 million square feet of net
rentable space. With one exception, each Property is subject to a single tenant
triple net lease, which is 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.

During 1997, the Company acquired fourteen properties in ten states at a cost of
approximately $178.8 million. For further information reference is made to the
chart on page 5, Item 2.

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 year ended December 31, 1997, such leases
on the Properties generated approximately $42.5 million in revenue compared to
$31.2 million in 1996. On the basis of the leases in place as of December 31,
1997, minimum annual rent receivable under non-cancelable leases is $48.9
million for 1998.

      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; a dividend of
$.27 per share to shareholders in respect of 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 and the first, second and third quarters
of 1997. The dividend paid in respect of the fourth quarter of 1997, in the
amount of $.29 per share, was paid on February 13, 1998 to shareholders of
record as of January 30, 1998. The Company's annualized dividend rate is
currently $1.16 per share.

      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 December
31, 1997 (assuming the Company's dividend rate remains at $1.16 per share).

Financing

      Exchangeable Redeemable Secured Notes. In March 1997, in connection with
the acquisition of certain properties leased to Exel, LCIF sold $25 million of
8% Exchangeable Redeemable Secured Notes (the "Notes") to an institutional
investor in a private placement. The Notes require interest only payments at 8%
per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and have a seven year term. The
Notes are secured by first mortgage liens on the Exel Properties, are guaranteed
by Lexington, and can be exchanged by the holders for Lexington common shares at
$13 per share beginning in the year 2000, subject to adjustment. The Notes may
be redeemed at Lexington's option after three years at a price of 103.2% of the
principal amount, declining to par after five years. The Notes are subordinated
to obligations under Lexington's Credit Facility.

      Partnership Mergers. In connection with the acquisition of the Exel
Properties, an unaffiliated partnership (the "Exel Partnership") merged into a
subsidiary of the Company, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., ("LCIF"). As a
result of the merger, LCIF issued 480,028 partnership units redeemable for the
Company's Common Shares, which units are entitled to distributions at the same
dividend rate as Common Shares. At the time of the merger, the Exel
Partnership's sole assets were approximately $6.0 million of cash from the prior
sale of a property and the right to acquire the Exel Properties in a tax-free
exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

On January 29, 1998 two affiliated partnerships merged into LCIF. As a result of
the merger, LCIF issued 1,454,906 partnership units redeemable for the Company's
Common Shares, which units are entitled to distributions at the same dividend
rate as common shares. At the time of the merger, the partnerships' sole assets
were approximately $23.5 million in cash from prior property sales and the right
to acquire properties in tax free exchanges under Internal Revenue Code Section
1031. The Company is currently in the process of completing such tax free
exchanges.

      Revolving Credit Facility. In February 1997, the Company's secured
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") was amended to extend the
maturity date to June 1999 and to increase the maximum borrowing availability to
$60.0 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at 1.5% over LIBOR and has an
interest rate period of one month, three months, or six months, at the option of
the Company. The Credit Facility contains various leverage, debt service
coverage, net worth maintenance and other customary covenants. Due to these
covenants, approximately $30 million was available to the Company at December
31, 1997. The Credit Facility matures on June 1, 1999, but will automatically
renew for successive two year terms unless the lender notifies the Company at
least twelve months in advance of the scheduled or extended maturity date of its
intention to terminate the Credit Facility. As of December


                                       18
<PAGE>   19

31, 1997, the Company had borrowed $12 million. As the Credit Facility is
collateralized by seven of the Company's Properties, this amount is included in
the balance of mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 1997.

      Preferred Shares Sale. On December 31, 1996, the Company entered into an
agreement with Five Arrows Realty Securities L.L.C ("Five Arrows") providing for
the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Shares ("Preferred Shares") for an aggregate price of $25 million. In connection
with such sale, the Company has entered into certain related agreements with
Five Arrows, providing, among other things, for certain registration rights with
respect to such shares and the right to designate a member of the Board of
Directors under certain circumstances. The Preferred Shares, which are
convertible at any time at the holder's option into Common Shares on a
one-for-one basis, are entitled to quarterly distributions equal to the greater
of $.295 per share or 105% of the quarterly common share dividend.

On January 21, 1997, the Company sold 700,000 shares of Preferred Shares to Five
Arrows and used the proceeds of $8.75 million to repay approximately $8.0
million of mortgage debt, including prepayment premiums of $520,000. Such
mortgage debt had been bearing interest at 12.625% per annum and would have
required interest and principal payments of approximately $1.45 million in 1997.

On April 28, 1997, the Company sold an additional 625,000 shares of Convertible
Preferred Shares to Five Arrows. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately
$7.8 million. On May 1, 1997, the Company used the net proceeds to acquire the
Rancho Bernardo Property for $7.7 million.

On December 31, 1997, the Company sold an additional 675,000 shares of
Convertible Preferred Shares to Five Arrows. Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $8.4 million. The Company used the net proceeds to satisfy a
portion of the purchase price of the Decatur, Georgia Property.

      Debt Service Requirements. The Company's principal liquidity needs are the
payment of interest and principal on outstanding mortgage debt. As of December
31, 1997, a total of forty-one properties were subject to outstanding mortgages
which had an aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest, of $220.56
million. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's debt on such date
was approximately 8.17%. Approximate balloon payment amounts for the next five
calendar years are due as follows: $10.01 million in 1998; $17.56 million in
1999 (including the $12 million Credit Facility which may be extended); $13.09
million in 2000; $1.00 million in 2001 and $771,000 in 2002. See Note 5 of the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 affected
by numerous economic factors affecting the real estate industry, 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. The Company intends to repay
balloon payments due in 1998 with amounts available under the Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company's total consolidated indebtedness
(including subordinated notes payable and origination fees payable and the
respective related accrued interest) was approximately $227 million. See also
"Funds From Operations" below.

      Lease Obligations. Because 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.

      Shares Repurchase. On November 15, 1994, the Company announced that its
Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase, from time to time,
up to 1,000,000 shares of its outstanding Common Shares, depending on market
conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
repurchased 172,100 shares, at an average price of approximately $9.80 per
share, all of which have been retired. There has been no repurchase of shares
since 1995.

Impact of Year 2000

The Company is evaluating its computer and communication systems to identify the
systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The Year 2000 problem
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's systems


                                       19
<PAGE>   20

that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00"as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations. The Company presently believes that the Year 2000 problem will
not pose operational problems for the Company's computer and communication
systems and will not have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the
growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. The increase in
interest expense due to the growth of the Company's portfolio has been offset
in 1997 by a reduction in the weighted average interest rate from 9.04% as of
December 31, 1996 to 8.17% as of December 31, 1997, due to debt refinancings
and repayments. The Company's general and administrative expenses have
decreased as a percentage of rental revenue to 9% in 1997 from 10% in 1996 and
11% in 1995 due to the growth of the Company's portfolio relative to these
expenses. Other expenses in 1996 included $644,000 of expenses which were
comprised of costs associated with a proposed equity offering which was
abandoned in favor of the completed private equity placement, and expenses
incurred in connection with transactions in progress for which expenses are
required to be charged to current operations.

The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was primarily
attributable to the gain on sale of the Stratus Property in the amount of $3.517
million offset by extraordinary losses on extinguishment of debt (net of
minority interest) including $1.667 million in connection with the Stratus
Property mortgage repayment and $1.466 million in connection with the Salt Lake
City debt refinancing.

The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was primarily
atrributable to a loss on extinguishment of debt incurred in 1995 in the amount
of approximately $4.849 million offset by items relating to the sale of the
Eagan, Minnesota property, a gain on the sale of approximately $1.5 million and
proceeds from lease termination of $1.6 million, less the related write-off of
deferred rent receivable of approximately $678,000.

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.

respectively.

Accounting Standards

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 establishes 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 the 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. These standards will have no
impact on the Company's operations.

- ----------
(1) For purposes of the calculation of Funds From Operations ("FFO"), the
Company has added back to net income amounts for non-recurring shares
compensation which management believes to be appropriate adjustments based on
the non-recurring and unusual nature of such amounts. The Company's method of
calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs. Non-recurring
shares compensation represents the expense of a simultaneous exercise and
re-granting of options to the Company's management during the period between
July 1995 and January 1996, which was intended to increase management's
ownership in the Company (a practice which has been discontinued). The Board of
Directors has determined that the Company will not engage in such practices in
the future. In 1996 transactional expenses of $644 were incurred. Management
believes such expenses were of an unusual and significant nature for the Company
at the time they were incurred. If such amount was added back to net income, FFO
for 1996 would have been $15.015 million.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Shareholders
Lexington Corporate Properties Trust:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Lexington Corporate
Properties Trust, formerly Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc., and
consolidated subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index. In connection
with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited
the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These
consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the 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 Lexington Corporate
Properties Trust and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related 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.

Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities:

On December 31, 1997, the Company issued 1,284,725 common shares in exchange for
all the shares of another company. The transaction was valued at $19.8 million
and consisted of the acquisition of three properties for $35.1 million less
$15.3 million of mortgage indebtedness assumed.

On July 9, 1997, in connection with a property acquisition, the Company assumed
approximately $5.9 million of first mortgage financing and issued a $600 note to
the seller.

On March 19, 1997, in connection with an acquisition of properties involving a
partnership, the Company issued partnership units as partial satisfaction of the
aggregate purchase price of $27.4 million. The issuance of these partnership
units have been recorded as minority interest in the amount of $6.0 million in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On December 31, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition transaction involving
a partnership, whereby five properties were acquired in exchange for special
limited partnership units, following which the selling partnership was
dissolved. Total assets acquired and total liabilities assumed in the exchanges
were $22.2 million and $18.4 million, respectively.

On May 22, 1996, the Company completed an acquisition transaction involving a
partnership, whereby a property was acquired in exchange for special limited

assets acquired and total liabilities assumed in the exchange were approximately
$56.9 million and $38.5 million, respectively.

On August 1, 1995, the Company acquired ownership interests in six partnerships
in exchange for special limited partnership units. The financial position of
four of these partnerships is included in the consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995. Total assets and total liabilities acquired in the
exchange were $10.2 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The Company's
proportionate share of the remaining two partnerships is included in investment

(1)   The Company

      Lexington Corporate Properties Trust, formally Lexington Corporate
      Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), is a Maryland statutory real estate
      investment trust that acquires, owns, and manages a diverse portfolio of
      office, industrial and retail properties. The real properties owned by the
      Company are, with one exception, subject to triple net leases to corporate
      tenants. References herein to the "Company" shall include references to
      the Company, two affiliated partnerships (the "Partnerships") and the
      Company's predecessor, Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc., a Delaware
      corporation which was organized in October 1993, reincorporated in
      Maryland in June 1994 and was merged into the Company on December 31,
      1997.

      The total number of shares of all classes of capital shares that the
      Company has authority to issue is 90,000,000 shares, consisting of
      40,000,000 shares of common shares with a par value of $.0001 per share,
      40,000,000 shares of excess shares with a par value of $.0001 per share
      and 10,000,000 shares of preferred shares with a par value of $.0001 per
      share.

      The excess shares are not entitled to receive dividends, except upon
      liquidation of the Company. Such shares vote as a single class with
      holders of shares of the Company's Common Shares. The excess shares and
      Common Shares are considered equal for purposes of liquidation of the
      Company.

      On November 15, 1994, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
      had authorized the Company to repurchase, from time to time, up to
      1,000,000 shares of its outstanding Common Shares, depending on market
      conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
      repurchased 172,100 shares at an average price of approximately $9.80 per
      share, all of which have been retired. There has been no repurchase of
      shares since 1995.


(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 for
      financial and Federal income tax reporting purposes. 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 as well
      as general partner and majority limited partner in four other partnerships
      and, accordingly, accounts for them on a consolidated basis. Entities in
      which the Company has an interest of less than 50% are accounted for under
      the equity method and the investments in these partnerships are included
      in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

      Real Estate. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121,
      Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
      Assets to Be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. This Statement requires that
      long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
      impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
      carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
      assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
      amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by
      the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
      be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
      the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of
      are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs
      to sell. Adoption of this Statement in 1996 and its application in 1997
      did not have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of
      operations.

      Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is determined by the
      straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic useful lives of
      the properties. The Company depreciates buildings and building
      improvements over a 40-year period or the remaining useful lives from the
      dates of acquisition, land improvements over a 20-year period, and
      fixtures and equipment over a 12-year period. Acquisition fees incurred in
      connection with properties acquired have been capitalized as a

      determined in accordance with the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery
      System.

      Revenue. The Company has determined that the leases relating to the
      properties are operating leases. Rental revenue is recognized on a
      straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms. The Company's rent
      receivable primarily represents the amounts of the excess of rental
      revenues recognized on a straight-line basis over the annual rents
      collectible under the leases.

      Deferred Financing Fees And Expenses. Deferred expenses are composed
      principally of debt placement, mortgage loan and other loan fees, and are
      amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest
      method, over the terms of the mortgages.

      Origination Fees. Origination fees payable obligations have been
      discounted using an annual rate of 13%.

      Tax Status. The Company has qualified as a real estate investment trust
      under 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 ("Taxable Income") which is distributed to its
      shareholders, provided that at least 95% of Taxable Income is distributed.
      No provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the consolidated
      financial statements, as the Company believes it is in compliance with the
      Code and has distributed all of its taxable income.

      A summary of the taxable nature of the Company's dividends for the three
      years ended December 31 is as follows:

      The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are required to file tax
      returns in various states. States vary with respect to the taxation of
      REITs. Some states have a tax based on capital within the state; other
      states, not recognizing the REIT dividends paid deduction, have a tax
      based on apportioned income as it would any corporation. There are states
      that tax under both methods as well as states that have no additional
      taxes other than the minimum state tax requirement. The provision for
      state taxes is included in general and administrative expenses in the
      consolidated statements of income. There are no significant temporary
      differences giving rise to deferred taxes.

      Earnings Per Share. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
      Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
      Per Share ("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 supersedes Accounting Principles
      Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share ("APB 15") and specifies the
      computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per
      share ("EPS") for entities with publicly held common shares or potential
      common shares. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with
      a presentation of basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS. This
      statement was adopted as required for the period ended December 31, 1997;
      the corresponding 1996 and 1995 per share data has been restated. Basic
      net income per share is computed by dividing net income reduced by
      preferred dividends and the "deemed dividends" described in note 9 by the
      weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
      Reported basic per share amounts are based on 11,444,589, 9,392,727 and
      9,263,169 common shares for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
      1995, respectively.

      Diluted net income per share amounts are similarly computed but include
      the effect, when dilutive, of the Company's other potentially dilutive
      securities. Diluted net income attributable to common shares is computed
      after giving effect to preferred dividends. The Company's Convertible 
      Preferred Shares, OP Units and Exchangeable Notes are excluded from the
      1997  computation due to their anti- dilutive effect during that period. 
      The Company's Operating Partnership Units are included in the 1996 and
      1995 computations due to their dilutive effect. Reported diluted per
      share amounts are based on 11,639,683, 10,897,011 and 9,502,355 common
      and common equivalent shares for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
      and 1995, respectively.
        
      Fair Value of Financial Instruments. 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 in a current transaction between willing parties. The Company's
      cash and cash equivalents, mortgage notes payable, subordinated notes
      payable, and accounts payable and other liabilities are carried at cost,
      which approximates fair value.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows,
      the Company considers all highly liquid instruments to be cash
      equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets at December
      31, 1997 and 1996 includes $3.64 million and $2.18 million of money market
      instruments, respectively.

      Stock Based Compensation. Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted
      for its shares option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
      Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
      Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense
      would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of
      the underlying shares exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the
      Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
      which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the
      fair value of all shares-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively,
      SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of
      APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings
      per share disclosures for employee shares option grants made in 1995 and
      future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had
      been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions
      of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of
      SFAS No. 123.

      Use of Estimates. Management of the Company 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.

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

(3)   Investments in Real Estate

      The Company's real property portfolio as of December 31, 1997 consists of
      fifty-one properties (or interests therein) (the "Properties") located in
      twenty-five states, including warehousing, distribution and manufacturing
      facilities, office buildings and retail properties. All of the Company's
      properties, with one exception, are subject to triple net leases, which
      are generally characterized as leases in which the tenant bears all, or
      substantially all, of the costs and cost increase for real estate taxes,
      insurance and ordinary maintenance.

      The purchase prices on the Properties were satisfied with existing cash,
      proceeds of mortgage and equity financings, issuance of the Company's
      common shares, and the issuance of special limited partnership units of
      one of the Partnerships.

      On September 2, 1997, the Company sold its property leased to Stratus
      Computer, Inc. in Marlborough, Massachusetts for approximately $21.36
      million, realizing a gain of approximately $3.5 million. The Company also
      repaid a first mortgage loan with a balance of approximately $9.97 million
      and a related prepayment premium of approximately $1.86 million. The
      Company also incurred a write-off of unamortized loan costs of
      approximately $171,000.

      On March 31, 1995, the Company sold the Eagan, Minnesota Property for
      $16.55 million, realizing a gain of approximately $1.5 million.
      Additionally, the Company received lease termination proceeds of $1.6
      million in connection with this transaction. The Company also incurred a
      write-off of deferred rent receivable in the amount of approximately
      $678,000 which is recorded as a reduction of rental revenue on the
      consolidated statements of income.

      During 1997, 1996 and 1995 the Company made the following acquisitions:

      The acquisitions made during 1997, 1996 and 1995 have been accounted for
      using the purchase method of accounting.

      The following unaudited pro forma operating information for the years
      ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 has been prepared as if the acquisitions
      in 1997 and 1996 had been consummated as of January 1, 1996 and were
      carried forward through December 31, 1997. The information does not
      purport to be indicative of what the operating results of the Company
      would have been had the acquisitions been consummated on that date. Pro
      forma amounts are as follows:

      The Company is committed to purchase a 103,000 square foot light
      industrial facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan (the "Auburn Hills
      Property") for approximately $13.875 million. The Auburn Hills Property
      will be leased to General Motors Corporation for eight years. The existing
      building will be renovated and an 81,000 square foot expansion completed
      in the third quarter of 1998 when the Company will acquire the property.
      On the basis of a project cost of $13.875 million, the annual net rent
      during the first four years would be $1.326 million and would escalate at
      the end of the fourth year by 6%.

      The Company is committed to purchase a 179,300 square foot office facility
      in Florence, South Carolina (the "Florence Property") for approximately
      $15.02 million. The Florence Property will be leased to Fleet Mortgage
      Group, Inc. for ten years. On the basis of a project cost of $15.02
      million, the annual net rent during the first five years would be
      $1,520,464 and would escalate at the end of the fifth year by 17%.
      Construction of the property is scheduled for completion in the third
      quarter of 1998. The Company expects to close shortly thereafter subject
      to certain contingencies including the acceptance of the property by the
      tenant.

(4)   Restricted Cash

      On May 19, 1995, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, LXP
      Funding Corp., completed a $70 million secured debt offering (the "REMIC
      Financing") by issuing commercial mortgage pass-through certificates. As a
      condition of the REMIC Financing, the trustee, established as part of the
      REMIC Financing, maintains a restricted cash account. Rent from the
      fifteen properties securing the debt is required to be deposited into this
      account. Additionally, there are certain reserves that are required to be
      funded and maintained in this account. The monthly debt service payments
      are made from the account and, after considering reserve requirements, any
      excess funds are transferred to the Company.

(5)   Mortgage Notes Payable

      The Company's aggregate consolidated mortgage notes payable and related
      accrued interest as of December 31, 1997 was $220.56 million which
      consists of indebtedness outstanding under the REMIC Financing, borrowings
      outstanding under the Company's Credit Facility, and outstanding mortgage
      indebtedness related to nineteen of the Properties. Except as noted, all
      such debt bears interest at fixed rates. All of the Company's mortgages
      are nonrecourse and are secured by first mortgage liens on the properties
      and by collateral assignments of the leases.

      The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company's
      aggregate mortgage indebtedness (including accrued interest) as of
      December 31, 1997 and 1996 (in $000's):

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(5),  Continued

      (a) The REMIC Financing is secured by mortgages on the following fifteen
      Properties: Modesto, California; Mansfield, Ohio; Marshall, Michigan (904
      Industrial Road); Marshall, Michigan (1601 Pratt Avenue); Memphis,
      Tennessee; Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Newark, California; Countryside,
      Illinois; Voorhees, New Jersey; Dewitt, New York; Newport, Oregon;
      Sacramento, California; Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Klamath
      Falls, Oregon. Due to the impending sale of the Newark, California
      Property (see Note 10), the Company is currently working to substitute
      that property with another pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

      (b) In February 1997, the Company's secured revolving credit facility (the
      "Credit Facility") was amended to extend the maturity to June 1, 1999 and
      to increase the maximum borrowing availibility to $60 million. The
      Company's Credit Facility bears interest at 1.5% over LIBOR and has an
      interest rate period of one, three or six months, at the option of the
      Company. The Credit Facility contains various leverage, debt service
      coverage, net worth maintenance and other customary covenants. Due to
      these covenants, approximately $30 million was available to the Company at
      December 31, 1997. The Credit Facility matures on June 1, 1999, but will
      automatically renew for successive two-year terms unless the lender
      notifies the Company at least twelve months in advance of the scheduled or
      extended maturity date of its intention to terminate the Credit Facility.
      As of December 31, 1997, the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility
      was $12 million, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately
      8.13% per annum. Based on the weighted average interest rate in effect as
      of December 31, 1997, debt service payments on the Credit Facility in 1998
      would total $976,000.


      The Credit Facility is secured by first mortgage liens on the following
      seven Properties: Glendale, Arizona; Southington, Connecticut; Riverdale,
      Georgia; Jacksonville, Alabama; Plymouth, Michigan; Oberlin, Ohio; and
      Cottondale, Alabama. The Credit Facility requires compensating balances of
      $250,000.


      The Credit Facility contains various leverage, debt service coverage, net
      worth maintenance, and other customary covenants. The Company is in
      compliance with such covenants.


      (c) The mortgages on the two Tampa, Florida Properties are
      cross-collateralized. The Company intends to repay balloon payments due on
      these properties in 1998 with amounts available under the Credit Facility.

      (d) In March 1997, in connection with the acquisition of these properties,
      LCIF sold $25 million of Notes to an institutional investor in a private
      placement. The Notes require interest only payments at 8% per annum,
      payable semi-annually in arrears, and have a seven year term. The Notes
      are secured by these properties, are guaranteed by the Company, and can be
      exchanged by the holders for the Company's common shares at $13 per share
      beginning in the year 2000, subject to adjustment. The Notes may be
      redeemed at the Company's option after three years at a price of 103.2% of
      the principal amount, declining to par after five years. The Notes are
      subordinated to obligation under the Company's Credit Facility.

      (e) As of December 31, 1996, this note on the Salt Lake City, Utah
      Property was bearing interest at a rate of 12.9% per annum and had a
      maturity date of October 1, 2005. This note was refinanced on May 30,
      1997, with a new note bearing interest at 7.61% per annum and having a
      maturity date of October 1, 2009.

      (f) As of December 31, 1996, the mortgage on the Franklin, North Carolina
      Property consisted of temporary bridge financing bearing interest at 8.25%
      per annum. On March 31, 1997, the bridge financing was repaid in full with
      proceeds from permanent financing, bearing interest at 8.50% per annum and
      having a maturity date of April 1, 2015.

      (g) On January 22, 1997, the mortgages encumbering these four properties
      were paid in full. The aggregate principal amount paid was $7,997,000 and
      the aggregate prepayment premiums were approximately $520,000. The stated
      interest rate on each of the four mortgages was 12.625% per annum. The
      loans were assumed in December 1996 in connection with an acquisition and
      assigned a fair value such that the prepayment premiums were included in
      the carrying value on the balance sheet at acquisition.

      (h) The mortgage was paid off in conjunction with the sale of this
      property (see Note 3).

      (i) Principal paydowns of the mortgage notes payable for the succeeding
      fifteen years are as follows (in 000's):

      On September 2, 1997, the Company sold its property leased to Stratus
      Computers, Inc. In connection with the sale, the Company, after repaying a
      first mortgage loan, realized a prepayment premium of approximately $1.86
      million and incurred a write-off of unamortized loan costs of
      approximately $171,000.

      On May 30, 1997, the Company completed the refinancing of $22.1 million of
      mortgage debt secured by the Salt Lake City, Utah Property. In connection
      with the refinancing, the Company realized a prepayment premium of
      approximately $1.67 million and incurred a write-off of unamortized loan
      costs of approximately $130,000.

      The amounts shown as extraordinary item - loss on extinguishment of debt
      for the above transactions are recorded net of the minority interests in
      the consolidated statements of income.

      On May 19, 1995, the Company completed the $70 million REMIC Financing by
      issuing commercial mortgage pass-through certificates. Of the fifteen
      properties securing the REMIC Financing, eight properties had been
      encumbered by mortgage debt of approximately $50.83 million in the
      aggregate, which had been repaid out of the proceeds from the REMIC
      Financing. In connection with this repayment, the Company incurred
      prepayment premiums totaling approximately $4.068 million and the
      write-off of unamortized deferred expenses and other related costs of
      approximately $510,000.

      On November 15, 1995, the Company closed on a revolving credit facility
      with a maximum committed amount of $25 million. Upon the closing of the
      revolving credit facility, the Company borrowed approximately $8.4 million
      and repaid an existing mortgage loan secured by its property in
      Southington, Connecticut. In connection with this repayment, a prepayment
      premium of approximately $271,000 was incurred.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(8)   Minority Interests

      In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions, sellers were
      given interests in Partnerships controlled by the Company 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.
      The total number of special limited partnership units outstanding as of
      December 31, 1997 was 3,000,445. These units, subject to certain
      adjustments through the date of conversion, have distributions per unit in
      varying amounts up to $1.16 per unit. Minority interests in the
      accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to interests in the
      Partnerships held by parties other than the Company.

(9)   Preferred Shares

      On December 31, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
      Five Arrows Realty Securities L.L.C. ("Five Arrows") providing for the
      sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of Senior Cumulative Convertible Preferred
      Shares (" Preferred Shares"). In connection with this transaction, the
      Company designated 2,000,000 shares as "Excess Class A Preferred Shares"
      and reserved for issuance up to 2,000,000 shares of its Common Shares upon
      the conversion of the Preferred Shares. In connection with such sale, the
      Company has entered into certain related agreements with Five Arrows,
      providing, among other things, for certain registration rights with
      respect to such shares and the right to designate a member of the Board of
      Directors under certain circumstances. The Preferred Shares, which is
      convertible at any time at the holder's option into common shares on a
      one-for-one basis, is entitled to quarterly dividends equal to the greater
      of $.295 per share or 105% of the quarterly common shares dividend.

      During 1997, all of the Preferred Shares were sold. Based on the market
      price of the Company's common shares on the dates of issuance, the
      Preferred Shares were deemed to have a beneficial conversion feature equal
      to the difference between the market price per share and $12.50 per share.
      This difference, which is non-cash and was non-recurring, amounted to
      approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and has
      been recorded as a dividend, with an offset to additional paid-in capital,
      in the accompanying statements of changes in shareholders' equity.

      The Preferred Shares may be redeemed by the Company after December 31,
      2001 at a premium of 6% over the liquidation preference of $12.50 per
      share, with such premium declining to zero on or after December 31, 2011.
      Each share is entitled to one vote.

      In certain instances, including a change of control of the Company (as
      defined in the agreement), the holder of the Preferred Shares may require
      the Company to redeem its shares at a price equal to $13.75 per share plus
      any accrued dividends.

(10)  Legal Proceedings

      The Company was sued in the United States District Court for the Northern
      District of Illinois on May 31, 1995, by United Municipal Leasing
      Corporation. The complaint filed in this case alleged that the Company
      breached a letter of intent by failing to execute definitive documentation
      and close a transaction in which the plaintiff proposed to sell property
      to the Company. The complainant sought $800,000 in monetary damages. In
      1997, the Court ruled in favor of the Company. No monetary damages were
      incurred by the Company.

      On August 26, 1996, Ross Stores, Inc., the tenant in the Newark Property,
      exercised an option to purchase such Property for its fair market value.
      In connection with this negotiation the Company was required to post a
      bond in an amount equivalent to one year's rent. After some deliberation
      the parties have negotiated to sell the property on or about April 1, 1998
      for $24.55 million.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(10)  Continued,

      The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary
      course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition
      of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
      consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

(11)  Stock Option Plan

      On June 17, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a stock option
      plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which stock options may be granted to
      officers and key employees. The Plan authorized grants of options to
      purchase up to 800,000 shares of authorized but unissued common shares.
      The Plan was amended on May 23, 1996 to increase by 800,000 the number of
      Common Shares available for the grant of options thereunder, subject to
      certain limitations. Stock options are granted with an exercise price
      equal to the shares' fair market value at the date of grant.

      All stock options are exercisable over five-year terms and, with the
      exception of those shown below, vest immediately.

      In 1997, the Compensation Committee granted 221,897 options to key
      employees. Those options will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant.
      Vesting will accelerate upon an executive's retiring (as defined by the
      Compensation Committee), death or disability. In addition, 25% of the
      options will vest in any year in which Funds From Operations ("FFO")
      increases by an amount equal to or greater than 10% over the FFO achieved
      in the preceding year.

      Additionally, each independent trustee of the Company receives options
      each year to purchase 2,500 common shares at the fair market value as of
      the date of grant. Such grants automatically occur on each January 1. All
      options granted to the directors are exercisable, after a one-year holding
      period, for a period not to exceed five years from the date of grant.

      At December 31, 1997, there were 560,803 additional options available for
      grant under the Plan. The per share weighted-average fair value of share
      options granted at market during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $3.75, $2.60 and
      $1.85 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.
      The per share weighted average fair value of share options granted with
      an exercise price less than market during 1997 was $5.83. The following
      weighted-average assumptions were used: risk-free interest rate of 6.5%
      and an expected life of five years for all years and volatility factors of
      17.09%, 16.29% and 15.02% for the years 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
      The model was based on actual dividends paid, which, on an annualized
      basis were $1.16, $1.10 and $1.08 per share for the years ended December
      31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

      The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and,
      accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its share
      options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined
      compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its share
      options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been
      reduced to the pro forma amounts below (in $000's):

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(11)  Continued,

      Pro forma net income reflects only options granted in 1997, 1996 and 1995.
      Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for shares
      options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income
      amounts presented above because compensation cost for options granted
      prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

      Share option activity during the periods indicated is as follows:

      (1) In 1996 and 1995, certain officers and employees exchanged existing
      options for new options with exercise prices equal to the fair market
      value of the common shares at that time. These options are reflected in
      the amounts exercised and granted in the table above. The difference
      between the exercise prices of the original and the new options, which
      amounted to $588,000 and $442,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, has been
      reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
      financial statements.

      At December 31, 1997, the range of exercise prices and weighted-average
      remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $9.00 to $14.50 and
      3.18 years, respectively.

      At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the number of options exercisable was
      837,300, 767,800, and 405,000, respectively, and the weighted-average
      exercise price of those options was $11.45, $11.29 and $11.09,
      respectively.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(12)  Employee Benefit Plan

      Effective January 1, 1994, the Company established a 401(k) retirement
      savings plan covering all eligible employees. The Company will match 25%
      of the first 4% of employee contributions. In addition, based on its
      profitability, the Company may make a discretionary contribution at each
      fiscal year end to all eligible employees. The matching and discretionary
      contributions are subject to vesting under a schedule providing for 25%
      annual vesting starting with the first year of employment and 100% vesting
      after four years of employment. Approximately $80,000, $75,000 and $59,000
      were contributed in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(13)  Related Party Transactions

      The Company has been granted an option by the LCP Group, L.P. ("LCP"),
      exercisable any time, to acquire the general partnership interests
      currently owned by LCP in two limited partnerships, Net 1 L.P. and Net 2
      L.P. (collectively, the "Net Partnerships"), which own net leased office,
      industrial and retail properties. Under the terms of the option, the
      Company, subject to review of any such transaction by the independent
      members of its Board of Trustees, may acquire the general partnership
      interests in either or both of the Net Partnerships at their fair market
      value based upon a formula relating to partnership cash flows, with the
      Company retaining the option of paying such fair market value in
      securities of the Company, units representing interests in partnerships
      controlled by the Company or cash (or a combination thereof). The Chairman
      of the Company is a partner in LCP.

      The Company currently provides administrative and acquisition support to
      the Net Partnerships and is reimbursed for the costs of such services. The
      reimbursements amounted to $279,000 and $197,000 for the years ended
      December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are shown net of the
      Company's general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
      statements of income. There were no reimbursements for 1995.

      In connection with the origination fees payable obligations, the Company
      is obligated to pay LCP an aggregate principal amount of $1,778,000 for
      rendering services in connection with the original acquisitions of certain
      properties. Simple interest is payable monthly from available net cash
      flow of the respective original properties on the various unpaid principal
      portions of the fees, at annual rates ranging from 12.25% to 19%. Monthly
      installment payments are to commence at various dates to satisfy principal
      and current interest payments as well as any unpaid accrued interest
      outstanding. The original principal amounts have been discounted at an
      annual rate of thirteen percent.

      A member of the Company's Board of Trustees is a partner in the firm that
      serves as general counsel to the Company. The Company intends to continue
      to retain the services of this firm for general, corporate and other
      matters.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(15)  Continued,

      The reported amounts for minority interest and for extraordinary items in
      the quarters ended March 30, June 30, and September 30, 1997 have been
      adjusted by offsetting amounts from those reported in the Company's
      quarterly filings on Form 10-Q. As a result, income before extraordinary
      items per common share has been restated by $0.00, ($0.03) and ($0.03),
      respectively. Net income and net income per common share for those periods
      were not affected by these adjustments.

      In addition, as described in notes 2 and 9, to compute earnings per share,
      net income attributed to common shareholders was reduced by the deemed
      dividend relating to the sales of the Preferred Shares. Income per common
      share data for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 1997 has been
      restated by ($0.16) and ($0.01), respectively , to reflect the deemed
      dividend of the beneficial conversion feature of the Preferred Shares.

                                  (continued)


(A)   The initial cost includes the purchase price paid by the Company and
      acquisition fees and expenses. The total cost basis of the Company's
      Properties at December 31, 1997 for Federal income tax purposes was
      $337,491 (not including the Newark, CA property held for sale). The total
      costs of the properties acquired may exceed the initial costs due to the
      Company's or Partnership's subsequent incurrence of other costs related to
      the acquisition, however such amounts have not been significant.

(B)   Balances include accrued interest payable at December 31, 1997 in the
      amount of $1,007.

                      LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST

                                     BY-LAWS

                                   ARTICLE I.

                                  SHAREHOLDERS

            SECTION 1.01. Annual Meeting. The Company shall hold an annual
meeting of its shareholders to elect trustees and transact any other business
within its powers, either at 10:00 a.m. on the first day of May in each year if
not a legal holiday, or at such other time on such other day falling on or
before the 30th day thereafter as shall be set by the Board of Trustees. Except
as the Declaration of Trust or statute provides otherwise, any business may be
considered at an annual meeting without the purpose of the meeting having been
specified in the notice. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate
the Company's existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

            SECTION 1.02. Special Meeting. At any time in the interval between
annual meetings, a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees or the President or by a majority of the Board
of Trustees by vote at a meeting or in writing (addressed to the Secretary of
the Company) with or without a meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders
shall be called as may be required by law.

            SECTION 1.03. Place of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be
held at such place in the United States as is set from time to time by the Board
of Trustees.

            SECTION 1.04. Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Not less than
ten nor more than 90 days before each shareholders' meeting, the Secretary shall
give written notice of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the
meeting and each other shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice
shall state the time and place of the meeting and, if the meeting is a special
meeting or notice of the purpose is required by statute, the purpose of the
meeting. Notice is given to a shareholder when it is personally delivered to
him, left at his residence or usual place of business, or mailed to him at his
address as it appears on the records of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, each person who is entitled to notice waives notice if he
before or after the meeting signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the
records of shareholders' meetings, or is present at the meeting in person or by
proxy.

            SECTION 1.05. Quorum Voting. Unless statute or the Declaration of
Trust provides otherwise, at a meeting of shareholders the presence in person or
by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled
to be cast at the meeting
<PAGE>   2

constitutes a quorum, and a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which
a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes
before the meeting, except that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting
at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a trustee.

            SECTION 1.06. Adjournments. Whether or not a quorum is present, a
meeting of shareholders convened on the date for which it was called may be
adjourned from time to time without further notice by a majority vote of the
shareholders present in person or by proxy to a date not more than 120 days
after the original record date. Any business which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally notified may be deferred and transacted at any such
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present.

            SECTION 1.07. General Right to Vote; Proxies. Unless the Declaration
of Trust provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or
denies voting rights, each outstanding share of beneficial interest, regardless
of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a
meeting of shareholders. In all elections for trustees, each share of beneficial
interest may be voted for as many individuals as there are trustees to be
elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A shareholder
may vote the beneficial interest he owns of record either in person or by
written proxy signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in
fact. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it is not valid more than 11 months
after its date.

            SECTION 1.08. List of Shareholders. At each meeting of shareholders,
a full, true and complete list of all shareholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, showing the number and class of shares held by each and certified by
the transfer agent for such class or by the Secretary, shall be furnished by the
Secretary.

            SECTION 1.09. Conduct of Business and Voting. At all meetings of
shareholders, unless the voting is conducted by an inspector, the proxies and
ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of
voters and the validity of proxies, the acceptance or rejection of votes and
procedures for the conduct of business not otherwise specified by these By-Laws,
the Declaration of Trust or law, shall be decided or determined by the chairman
of the meeting. If demanded by shareholders, present in person or by proxy,
entitled to cast 10% in number of votes entitled to be cast, or if ordered by
the chairman of the meeting, the vote upon any election or question shall be
taken by ballot and, upon like demand or order, the voting shall be conducted by
an inspector, in which event the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all
questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and
the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided, by such inspector. Unless
so demanded or ordered, no vote need be by ballot and voting need not be
conducted by an inspector. The shareholders at any meeting may choose an
inspector to act at such meeting, and in


                                       -2-
<PAGE>   3

default of such election, the chairman of the meeting may appoint an inspector.
No candidate for election as trustee at a meeting shall serve as an inspector
thereat.

            SECTION 1.10. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required
or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a
meeting if there is filed with the records of shareholder's meetings a unanimous
written consent which sets forth the action and is signed by each shareholder
entitled to vote on the matter and a written waiver of any right to dissent
signed by each shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to
vote at it.

            SECTION 1.11. Shareholder Proposals. For any shareholder proposal to
be presented in connection with an annual meeting of shareholders of the
Company, including any proposal relating to the nomination of a trustee to be
elected to the Board of Trustees of the Company, the shareholders must have
given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be
timely, a shareholder's proposal shall be delivered to the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 days in advance of
the release date of the Company's proxy statement to shareholders in connection
with the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event
that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed
by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be
timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual
meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day
prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public
announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such shareholders'
notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to
nominate for election or re-election as a trustee all information relating to
such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
election of trustees, or is otherwise required, in each case, pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to being named in the
proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a trustee if elected); (b) as to
any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in
such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is
made, (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the
Company's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of
shares of beneficial interest of the Company which are owned beneficially and of
record by such shareholders and such beneficial owner. For the 1995 annual
meeting the previous year's meeting shall be deemed to have taken place on May
12, 1994; provided that this sentence shall cease to be a part of these By-Laws
after the holding of the 1995 annual meeting and any adjournments thereof.

                                   ARTICLE II.

                                BOARD OF TRUSTEES

            SECTION 2.01. Function of Trustees. The business and affairs of the
Company shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Trustees. All
powers of the Company may be exercised by or under authority of the Board of
Trustees, except as conferred on or reserved to the shareholders by statute or
by the Declaration of Trust or By-Laws.

            SECTION 2.02. Number of Trustees. The Company shall have at least
three trustees; provided that, if there are no shares of beneficial interest
outstanding, the number of Trustees may be less than three but not less than
one, and, if there are shares of beneficial interest outstanding and so long as
there are less than three shareholders, the number of Trustees may be less than
three but not less than the number of shareholders. The Company shall have the
number of Trustees provided in the Declaration of Trust until changed as herein
provided. Except as the Declaration of Trust provides otherwise, a majority of
the entire Board of Trustees may alter the number of trustees set by the
Declaration of Trust to not exceeding nine nor less than the minimum number then
permitted herein, but the action may not affect the tenure of office of any
trustee.

            SECTION 2.03. Election and Tenure of Trustees. At each annual
meeting the shareholders shall elect trustees to hold office until the next
annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualify.

            SECTION 2.04. Removal of Trustee. Any trustee or the entire Board of
Trustees may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of the
Declaration of Trust.

            SECTION 2.05 Vacancy on Board of Trustees. The shareholders shall
elect a successor to fill a vacancy on the Board of Trustees which results from
the removal of a trustee. A trustee elected by the shareholders to fill a
vacancy which results from the removal of a trustee serves for the balance of
the term of the removed trustee. A majority of the remaining Trustees, whether
or not sufficient to constitute a quorum, may fill a vacancy on the Board of
Trustees which results from any increase in the authorized number of Trustees,
or death, resignation, retirement or other cause. A trustee elected by the Board
of Trustees to fill a vacancy serves until the next annual meeting of
shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualifies.

            SECTION 2.06. Regular Meetings. After each meeting of shareholders
at which trustees shall have been elected, the Board of Trustees shall meet as
soon as 


                                       -4-
<PAGE>   5

practicable for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other
business. In the event that no other time and place are specified by resolution
of the Board of Trustees, the President or the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, with notice in accordance with Section 2.08, the Board of Trustees
shall meet immediately following the close of, and at the place of, such
shareholders' meeting. Any other regular meeting of the Board of Trustees shall
be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by
the Board of Trustees.

            SECTION 2.07. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of
Trustees may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees or
the President or by a majority of the Board of Trustees by vote at a meeting or
in writing with or without a meeting. A special meeting of the Board of Trustees
shall be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to
time by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of designation such meeting shall
be held at such place as may be designated in the call.

            SECTION 2.08. Notice of Meeting. Except as provided in Section 2.06,
the Secretary shall give notice to each trustee of each regular and special
meeting of the Board of Trustees. The notice shall state the time and place of
the meeting. Notice is given to a trustee when it is delivered personally to
him, left at his residence or usual place of business, or sent by telegraph,
facsimile transmission or telephone, at least 24 hours before the time of the
meeting or, in the alternative by mail to his address as it shall appear on the
records of the Company, at least 72 hours before the time of the meeting. Unless
these By-Laws or a resolution of the Board of Trustees provides otherwise, the
notice need not state the business to be transacted at or the purposes of any
regular or special meeting of the Board of Trustees. No notice of any meeting of
the Board of Trustees need be given to any trustee who attends except where a
trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened, or to any trustee who, in writing executed and filed with the records
of the meeting either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice.
Any meeting of the Board of Trustees, regular or special, may adjourn from time
to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and no notice need be
given of any such adjourned meeting other than by announcement.

            SECTION 2.09. Action by Trustees. Unless statute, the Declaration of
Trust or these By-Laws requires a greater proportion, the action of a majority
of the trustees present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is action of
the Board of Trustees. A majority of the entire Board of Trustees shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum,
the trustees present by majority vote and without notice other than by
announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall
attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the


                                       -5-
<PAGE>   6

meeting as originally notified. Any action required or permitted to be taken at
a meeting of the Board of Trustees may be taken without a meeting, if a
unanimous written consent which sets forth the action is signed by each member
of the Board of Trustees and filed with the minutes of proceeding of the Board
of Trustees

            SECTION 2.10. Meeting by Conference Telephone. Members of the Board
of Trustees may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or
similar communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can
hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means
constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

            SECTION 2.11. Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Trustees a
fixed sum and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special
meeting of the Board of Trustees or of committees thereof, and other
compensation for their services as such or on committees of the Board of
Trustees, may be paid to trustees. Trustees who are full-time employees of the
Company need not be paid for attendance at meetings of the Board of Trustees or
committees thereof for which fees are paid to other trustees. A trustee who
serves the Company in any other capacity also may receive compensation for such
other services, pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Trustees.

            SECTION 2.12. Advisory Trustees. The Board of Trustees may by
resolution appoint advisory trustees to the Board of Trustees, who may also
serve as trustees emeriti, and shall have such authority and receive such
compensation and reimbursement as the Board of Trustees shall provide. Advisory
trustees or trustees emeriti shall not have the authority to participate by vote
in the transaction of business.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                                   COMMITTEES

            SECTION 3.01. Committees. The Board of Trustees may appoint from
among its members an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and other
committees composed of two or more trustees and delegate to these committees any
of the powers of the Board of Trustees, except the power to declare dividends or
other distributions on beneficial interest, elect Trustees, issue beneficial
interest other than as provided in the next sentence, recommend to the
shareholders any action which requires shareholder approval, amend these
By-Laws, or approve any merger or share exchange which does not require
shareholder approval. The entire Audit Committee shall be trustees who are
independent of management. The entire Compensation Committee shall be trustees
who are "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the Board of Trustees has given
general


                                       -6-
<PAGE>   7

authorization for the issuance of beneficial interest, a committee of the Board
of Trustees, in accordance with a general formula or method specified by the
Board of Trustees by resolution or by adoption of a beneficial interest option
or other plan, may fix the terms of beneficial interest subject to
classification or reclassification and the terms on which any beneficial
interest may be issued, including all terms and conditions required or permitted
to be established or authorized by the Board of Trustees.

            SECTION 3.02. Committee Procedure. Each committee may fix rules of
procedure for its business. A majority of the members of a committee shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of
those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
committee. The members of a committee present at any meeting, whether or not
they constitute a quorum, may appoint a trustee to act in the place of an absent
member. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of a committee
may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written consent which sets forth
the action is signed by each member of the committee and filed with the minutes
of the committee. The members of a committee may conduct any meeting thereof by
conference telephone in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10.

            SECTION 3.03. Emergency. In the event of a state of disaster of
sufficient severity to prevent the conduct and management of the affairs and
business of the Company by its trustees and officers as contemplated by the
Declaration of Trust and these By-Laws, the available trustees shall elect a
Special Executive Committee consisting of any two members of the Board of
Trustees, whether or not they be officers of the Company, which two members
shall constitute the Special Executive Committee for the full conduct and
management of the affairs of the Company in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this Section. This Section shall be subject to implementation by
resolution of the Board of Trustees passed from time to time for that purpose,
and any provisions of these By-Laws (other than this Section) and any
resolutions which are contrary to the provisions of this Section or to the
provisions of any such implementary resolutions shall be suspended until it
shall be determined by any Special Executive Committee acting under this Section
that it shall be to the advantage of the Company to resume the conduct and
management of its affairs and business under all the other provisions of these
By-Laws.

                               ARTICLE IV.

                                OFFICERS

            SECTION 4.01. Executive and Other Officers. The Company shall have a
President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. It may also have a Chairman of the
Board of 


                                       -7-
<PAGE>   8

Trustees. The Board of Trustees shall designate who shall serve as chief
executive officer, who shall have general supervision of the business and
affairs of the Company, and may designate a chief operating officer, who shall
have supervision of the operations of the Company. In the absence of any
designation, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, if there be one, shall serve
as chief executive officer and the President shall serve as chief operating
officer. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, or if there be
none, the President shall be the chief executive officer. The same person may
hold both offices. The Company may also have one or more Vice-Presidents,
assistant officers, and subordinate officers as may be established by the Board
of Trustees. A person may hold more than one office in the Company except that
no person may serve concurrently as both President and a Vice-President of the
Company. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees shall be a trustee; the other
officers may be trustees.

            SECTION 4.02. Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, if one be elected, shall preside at all meetings of the Board
of Trustees and of the shareholders at which he shall be present. Unless
otherwise specified by the Board of Trustees, he shall be the chief executive
officer of the Company and perform the duties customarily performed by chief
executive officers, and may perform any duties of the President. In general, he
shall perform all such duties as are from time to time assigned to him by the
Board of Trustees.

            SECTION 4.03. President. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of
the Board of Trustees, the President, in the absence of the Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Trustees and of
the shareholders at which he shall be present. Unless otherwise specified by the
Board of Trustees, the President shall be the chief operating officer of the
Company and perform the duties customarily performed by chief operating
officers. He may sign and execute, in the name of the Company, all authorized
deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts or other instruments, except in cases in
which the signing and execution thereof shall have been expressly delegated to
some other officer or agent of the Company. In general, he shall perform such
other duties usually performed by a president of a Company and such other duties
as are from time to time assigned to him by the Board of Trustees or the chief
executive officer of the Company.

            SECTION 4.04. Vice-Presidents. The Vice-President or
Vice-Presidents, at the request of the chief executive officer or the President,
or in the President's absence or during his inability to act, shall perform the
duties and exercise the functions of the President, and when so acting shall
have the powers of the President. If there be more than one Vice-President, the
Board of Trustees may determine which one or more of the Vice-Presidents shall
perform any of such duties or exercise any of such functions, or if such
determination is not made by the Board of Trustees, the chief executive officer,
or the President may make such determination; otherwise any of the
Vice-Presidents may


                                       -8-
<PAGE>   9

perform any of such duties or exercise any of such functions. The Vice-President
or Vice-Presidents shall have such other powers and perform such other duties,
and have such additional descriptive designations in their titles (if any), as
are from time to time assigned to them by the Board of Trustees, the chief
executive officer, or the President.

            SECTION 4.05. Secretary. The Secretary shall keep the minutes of the
meetings of the shareholders, of the Board of Trustees and of any committees, in
books provided for the purpose; he shall see that all notices are duly given in
accordance with the provisions of these By-Laws or as required by law; he shall
be custodian of the records of the Company; he may witness any document on
behalf of the Company, the execution of which is duly authorized, see that the
corporate seal is affixed where such document is required or desired to be under
its seal, and, when so affixed, may attest the same; and, in general, he shall
perform all duties incident to the office of a secretary of a Company, and such
other duties as are from time to time assigned to him by the Board of Trustees,
the chief executive officer or the President.

            SECTION 4.06. Treasurer. The Treasurer shall have charge of and be
responsible for all funds, securities, receipts and disbursements of the
Company, and shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the name of the
Company, all moneys or other valuable effects in such banks, trust companies or
other depositories as shall, from time to time, be selected by the Board of
Trustees; he shall render to the President and to the Board of Trustees,
whenever requested, an account of the financial condition of the Company; and,
in general, he shall perform all the duties incident to the office of a
treasurer of a Company, and such other duties as are from time to time assigned
to him by the Board of Trustees, the chief executive officer, or the President.
The Treasurer shall also be the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

            SECTION 4.07. Assistant and Subordinate Officers. The assistant and
subordinate officers of the Company are all officer below the office of
Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer. The assistant or subordinate officers
shall have such duties as are from time to time assigned to them by the Board of
Trustees, the chief executive officer, or the President.

            SECTION 4.08. Election; Tenure and Removal of Officers. The Board of
Trustees shall elect the officers. The Board of Trustees may from time to time
authorize any committee or officer to appoint assistant and subordinate
officers. Election or appointment of an officer, employee or agent shall not of
itself create contract rights. All officers shall be appointed to hold their
offices, respectively, at the pleasure of the Board of Trustees. The Board of
Trustees (or, as to any assistant or subordinate officer, any committee or
officer authorized by the Board of Trustees) may remove an officer at any time.
The removal of an officer does not prejudice any of his contract rights. The
Board of Trustees (or, as to any assistant or subordinate officer, any committee
or officer authorized by the Board of Trustees) may fill a vacancy which occurs
in any office for the unexpired portion of the term.


                                       -9-
<PAGE>   10

            SECTION 4.09. Compensation. The Board of Trustees shall have power
to fix the salaries and other compensation and remuneration, of whatever kind,
of all officers of the Company. No officer shall be prevented from receiving
such salary by reason of the fact that he is also a trustee of the Company. The
Board of Trustees may authorize any committee or officer, upon whom the power of
appointing assistant and subordinate officers may have been conferred, to fix
the salaries, compensation and remuneration of such assistant and subordinate
officers.

                                   ARTICLE V.

may from time to time confer upon any employee of a division of the Company the
title of President, Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary of such division or
any other title or titles deemed appropriate, or may authorize the Chairman of
the Board of Trustees or the President to do so. Any such titles so conferred
may be discontinued and withdrawn at any time by the Board of Trustees, or by
the Chairman of the Board of Trustees or the President if so authorized by the
Board of Trustees. Any employee of a division designated by such a divisional
title shall have the powers and duties with respect to such division as shall be
prescribed by the Board of Trustees, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees or
the President.

            SECTION 5.02. Effect of Divisional Titles. The conferring of
divisional titles shall not create an office of the Company under Article IV
unless specifically designated as such by the Board of Trustees; but any person
who is an officer of the Company may also have a divisional title.


                                  ARTICLE VI .

                               BENEFICIAL INTEREST

            SECTION 6.01. Certificates for Beneficial interest. Each shareholder
is entitled to certificates which represent and certify the shares of beneficial
interest he holds in the Company. Each beneficial interest certificate shall
include on its face the name of the Company, the name of the shareholder or
other person to whom it is issued, and the class of beneficial interest and
number of shares it represents. It shall be in such form, not inconsistent with
law or with the Declaration of Trust, as shall be approved by the Board of
Trustees or any officer or officers designated for such purpose by resolution of
the Board of Trustees. Each beneficial interest certificate shall be signed by
the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the President, or a Vice-President, and
countersigned by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer, or an
Assistant Treasurer. Each certificate may be sealed with the actual corporate
seal or a facsimile of


                                      -10-

it or in any other form and the signatures may be either manual or facsimile
signatures. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer
who signed it is still an officer when it is issued.

            SECTION 6.02. Transfers. The Board of Trustees shall have power and
authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning
the issue, transfer and registration of certificates of beneficial interest; and
may appoint transfer agents and registrars thereof. The duties of transfer agent
and registrar may be combined.

            SECTION 6.03. Record Dates and Closing of Transfer Books. The Board
of Trustees may set a record date or direct that the beneficial interest
transfer books be closed for a stated period for the purpose of making any
proper determination with respect to shareholders, including which shareholders
are entitled to notice of a meeting, vote at a meeting, receive a dividend or be
allotted other rights. The record date may not be prior to the close of business
on the day the record date is fixed nor, subject to Section 1.06, more than 90
days before the date on which the action requiring the determination will be
taken; the transfer books may not be closed for a period longer than 20 days;
and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders, the record date or the closing of
the transfer books shall be at least ten days before the date of the meeting.

            SECTION 6.04. Beneficial Interest Ledger. The Company shall maintain
a beneficial interest ledger which contains the name and address of each
shareholder and the number of shares of beneficial interest of each class which
the shareholder holds. The beneficial interest ledger may be in written form or
in any other form which can be converted within a reasonable time into written
form for visual inspection. The original or a duplicate of the beneficial
interest ledger shall be kept at the offices of a transfer agent for the
particular class of beneficial interest, or, if none, at the principal office in
the State of Maryland or the principal executive offices of the Company.

            SECTION 6.05. Certification of Beneficial Owners. The Board of
Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder of the
Company may certify in writing to the Company that any shares of beneficial
interest registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a
specified person other than the shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the
class of shareholders who may certify; the purpose for which the certification
may be made; the form of certification and the information to be contained in
it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the
beneficial interest transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of
the beneficial interest transfer books within which the certification must be
received by the Company; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure
which the Board of Trustees considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of a
certification which complies with the procedure adopted by the Board of Trustees
in accordance with this Section, the person specified in the certification is,
for the purpose set forth in the certification, the holder of record of the
specified beneficial interest in place of the shareholder who makes the
certification.

            SECTION 6.06. Lost Beneficial Interest Certificates. The Board of
Trustees of the Company may determine the conditions for issuing a new
beneficial interest certificate in place of one which is alleged to have been
lost, stolen, or destroyed, or the Board of Trustees may delegate such power to
any officer or officers of the Company. In their discretion, the Board of
Trustees or such officer or officers may refuse to issue such new certificate
save upon order of some court having jurisdiction in the premises.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

of Trustees, be signed by the President, a Vice-President or an Assistant
Vice-President and countersigned by the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.

            SECTION 7.02. Annual Statement of Affairs. The President or chief
accounting officer shall prepare annually a full and correct statement of the
affairs of the Company, to include a balance sheet and a financial statement of
operations for the preceding fiscal year. The statement of affairs shall be
submitted at the annual meeting of the shareholders and, within 20 days after
the meeting, placed on file at the Company's principal.

            SECTION 7.03. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall be
the twelve calendar months ending December 31 in each year, unless otherwise

            SECTION 7.04. Dividends. If declared by the Board of Trustees at any
meeting thereof, the Company may pay dividends on its shares in cash, property,
or in shares of the capital beneficial interest of the Company, unless such
dividend is contrary to law or to a restriction contained in the Declaration of
Trust.

            SECTION 7.05. Contracts. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
and except as otherwise prescribed by the Declaration of Trust or these By-Laws
with respect to certificates for shares, the Board of Trustees may authorize any
officer, employee, or agent of the Company to enter into any contract or execute
and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Company. Such
authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

            SECTION 8.01. Procedure. Any indemnification, or payment of expenses
in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding, shall be made promptly,
and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the trustee or
officer entitled to seek indemnification (the "Indemnified Party"). The right to
indemnification and advances hereunder shall be enforceable by the Indemnified
Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, if (i) the Company denies such
request, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition thereof is made within 60
days. The Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with
successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in
any such action shall also be reimbursed by the Company. It shall be a defense
to any action for advance of expenses that (a) a determination has been made
that the facts then known to those making the determination would preclude
indemnification or (b) the Company has not received either (i) an undertaking as
required by law to repay such advances in the event it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct has not been met or (ii) a written
affirmation by the Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party's good faith
belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company
has been met.

            SECTION 8.02. Exclusivity; Etc. The indemnification and advance of
expenses provided by the Declaration of Trust and these By-Laws shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification
or advance of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), or
any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested trustees or other provision
that is consistent with law, both as to action in his official capacity and as
to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or
acting as agent for the Company, shall continue in respect of all events
occurring while a person was a trustee or officer after such person has ceased
to be a trustee or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs,
executors and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification and
advance of expenses under the Declaration of Trust of the Company and hereunder
shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each trustee or officer
of the Company who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this
By-Law is in effect. Nothing herein shall prevent the amendment of this By-Law,
provided that no such amendment shall diminish the rights' of any person
hereunder with respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption or
as to claims made after its adoption in respect of events occurring before its
adoption. Any repeal or modification of this By-Law shall not in any way
diminish any rights to indemnification or advance of expenses of such trustee or
officer or the obligations of the Company arising hereunder with respect to
events occurring, or claims made, while this By-Law or any provision hereof is
in force.

            SECTION 8.03. Severability: Definitions. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Article VIII shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The phrase "this
By-Law" in this Article VIII means this Article VIII in its entirety.

                                SUNDRY PROVISIONS

            SECTION 9.01. Books and Records. The Company shall keep correct and
complete books and records of its accounts and transactions and minutes of the
proceedings of its shareholders and Board of Trustees and of any committee when
exercising any of the powers of the Board of Trustees. The books and records of
a Company may be in written form or in any other form which can be converted
within a reasonable time into written form for visual inspection. Minutes shall
be recorded in written form but may be maintained in the form of a reproduction.
The original or a certified copy of these By-Laws shall be kept at the principal
office of the Company.

            SECTION 9.02. Corporate Seal. The Board of Trustees shall provide a
suitable seal, bearing the name of the Company, which shall be in the charge of
the Secretary. The Board of Trustees may authorize one or more duplicate seals
and provide for the custody thereof. If the Company is required to place its
corporate seal to a document, it is sufficient to meet the requirement of any
law, rule, or regulation relating to a corporate seal to place the word "Seal"
adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to sign the document on
behalf of the Company.

            SECTION 9.03. Bonds. The Board of Trustees may require any officer,
agent or employee of the Company to give a bond to the Company, conditioned upon
the faithful discharge of his duties, with one or more sureties and in such
amount as may be satisfactory to the Board of Trustees.

            SECTION 9.04. Voting Upon Shares in Other Companies. Beneficial
interest of other Companies or associations, registered in the name of the
Company, may be voted by the President, a Vice-President, or a proxy appointed
by either of them. The Board of Trustees, however, may by resolution appoint
some other person to vote such shares, in which case such person shall be
entitled to vote such shares upon the production of a certified copy of such
resolution.

            SECTION 9.05. Mail. Any notice or other document which is required
by these By-Laws to be mailed shall be deposited in the United States mails,
postage prepaid.

            SECTION 9.06. Execution of Documents. A person who holds more than
one office in the Company may not act in more than one capacity to execute,
acknowledge, or verify an instrument required by law to be executed,
acknowledged, or verified by more than one officer.

            SECTION 9.07. Amendments. Subject to the special provisions of
Section 2.02, in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, these By-Laws may be
repealed, altered, amended or


                                      -14-

rescinded (a) by the shareholders of the Company only by vote of not less than
80% of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Company entitled to
vote generally in the election of trustees (considered for this purpose as one
class) cast at any meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose (provided
that notice of such proposed repeal, alteration, amendment or rescission is
included in the notice of such meeting) or (b) by vote of two-thirds of the
Board of Trustees at a meeting held in accordance with the provisions of these
By-Laws.
