ITEM 4.01

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On April 10, 2007, The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) elected to replace Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as its independent registered public accounting firm and to engage KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2007. The decision to change the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm was made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of Lexington Realty Trust, the parent of the Partnership’s general partner. KPMG is the independent registered public accounting firm of Lexington Realty Trust.

 

During the Partnership’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, and through April 10, 2007, the date on which the Partnership elected to replace Deloitte as its independent registered public accounting firm, there were no disagreements between the Partnership and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in conjunction with its report on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the relevant year; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. Deloitte's audit reports on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting and management's assessment thereof for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

The Partnership furnished a copy of the above disclosures to Deloitte and requested that Deloitte furnish the Partnership a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the statements made above. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

During the Partnership’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, and the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2007, the Partnership did not consult with KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
