Item 1. Business

General

      The Company is a self-managed and self-administered Maryland statutory real estate investment trust that acquires, owns and manages a geographically diverse portfolio of net leased office, industrial and retail properties and provides investment advisory and asset management services to institutional investors in the net lease area. The Company’s predecessor was organized in October 1993 and merged into the Company on December 31, 1997.

      The Company’s Internet address is www.lxp.com. The Company makes available free of charge through its web site its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after it electronically files such materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also have made available on our web site copies of our current Audit Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and Corporate Governance Guidelines. In the event of any changes to these charters or the code or the guidelines, changed copies will also be made available on our web site.

      As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s real property portfolio consisted of 154 properties or interests therein located in 37 states, including warehousing, distribution and manufacturing facilities, office buildings and retail properties containing an aggregate 32.3 million net rentable square feet of space. In addition, Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. (“LRA”), a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, manages 2 properties for an unaffiliated third party. The Company’s properties are generally subject to triple net leases, which are 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. Of the Company’s 154 properties, 7 provide for operating expense stops and one is subject to a modified gross lease. As of December 31, 2004, 98.1% of net rentable square feet were subject to a lease.

      The Company manages its real estate and credit risk through geographic, industry, tenant and lease maturity diversification. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the fifteen largest tenants/guarantors, which occupied 42 properties, represented 43.5% of trailing twelve month base rent, including the Company’s proportionate share of base rent from non-consolidated entities, properties held for sale and properties sold through date of sale. The fifteen largest tenants/guarantors are as follows:

(1)  Tenant declared bankruptcy and rejected the lease during the fourth quarter of 2004 and the property is currently vacant.

      As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fifteen largest tenants/guarantors represented 46.1% and 51.6% of trailing twelve month base rent, respectively, including the Company’s proportionate share of base rent from non-consolidated entities, properties held for sale and properties sold through date of sale. In 2004, 2003 and 2002, no tenant/guarantor represented greater than 10% of annual base rent.

Objectives and Strategy

      The Company’s primary objectives are to increase Funds From Operations, cash available for distribution per share to its shareholders, and net asset value per share. In an effort to achieve these objectives, management focuses on:

  •  acquiring portfolios and individual net lease properties from third parties, completing sale/leaseback transactions and acquiring build-to-suit properties;
 
  •  entering into strategic co-investment programs which generate higher equity returns than direct investments due to acquisition, asset management and debt placement fees and in some cases increased leverage levels;
 
  •  managing assets through lease extensions, revenue enhancing property expansions, opportunistic property sales and redeployment of assets;
 
  •  refinancing existing indebtedness at lower average interest rates and increasing the Company’s access to capital to finance property acquisitions and expansions; and
 
  •  entering into third party advisory contracts to generate advisory fee revenue.

Acquisition Strategies

      The Company seeks to enhance its net lease property portfolio through acquisitions of general purpose, efficient, well-located properties in growing markets. Management has diversified the Company’s portfolio by geographical location, tenant industry segment, lease term expiration and property type. 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 re-leasing 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.

      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. 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.

      Co-Investment Programs. In 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with The Comptroller of the State of New York as Trustee of the Common Retirement Fund (“CRF”). The joint venture entity, Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC (“LAC”), was created to acquire high quality office and industrial real estate properties net leased to investment and non-investment grade single tenant users. The Company and CRF committed to make equity contributions to LAC of up to $50 million and $100 million, respectively. LAC has completed its acquisition program and no more investments will be made by this entity. In addition, LAC financed a portion of acquisition costs through the use of non-recourse mortgages. As of December 31, 2004, LAC owned 11 properties.

      LAC also has an investment in an $11.0 million participating note which was used to partially fund the purchase of a 327,325 square foot office property in Houston, Texas for $34.8 million. As of December 31, 2004, LAC had made investments totaling $380.3 million.

      In 2003, the Company and CRF purchased a property for $22.7 million directly as partners and therefore, it is not owned by LAC. The purchase price was partially funded through a $19.2 million non-recourse mortgage maturing in 2021.

      LRA has a management agreement with LAC and the separate partnership whereby LRA will perform certain services for a fee relating to the acquisition and management of the investments.

      In December 2001, the Company and CRF announced the formation of Lexington Acquiport Company II, LLC (“LAC II”). The Company and CRF have committed to make equity contributions to LAC II of up to $50 million and $150 million, respectively, to purchase up to $560 million in single tenant office and industrial properties net leased to investment and non-investment grade tenants. As of December 31, 2004, $76.5 million has been funded. LRA, in addition to earning acquisition and asset management fees, earns a fee for all mortgage debt directly placed. During 2004, LAC II acquired nine properties (four from the Company) for an aggregate capitalized cost of $239.7 million ($131.6 million for properties transferred from the Company at cost). These acquisitions were partially funded by the use of $118.7 non-recourse mortgages, which bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.3% to 6.3% and mature at various dates ranging from 2014 to 2019. In addition, the Company advanced $45.8 million in loans to LAC II to purchase three of the properties. Subsequent to year end all advances were repaid.

      The Company is required to first offer to LAC II all of the Company’s opportunities to acquire office and industrial properties generally requiring a minimum investment of $15 million, which are net leased primarily

to investment grade tenants for a minimum term of ten years, are available for immediate delivery and satisfy other specified investment criteria. Only if CRF elects not to approve LAC II’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity may the Company pursue the opportunity directly.

      In October 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with CLPF-LXP/ Lion Venture GP, LLC (“Clarion”). The joint venture entity Lexington/ Lion Venture L.P. (“LION”), was created to acquire high quality office, industrial and retail properties net leased to investment and non-investment grade single tenant users. The Company and Clarion initially committed to make equity contributions to LION of up to $30 million and $70 million, respectively. In 2004, the Company and Clarion increased their equity commitment by $25.7 million and $60.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, $149.6 million of the commitments has been funded. In addition, LION finances a portion of the acquisitions through the use of non-recourse mortgages. During 2004, LION made ten acquisitions (one was transferred from the Company) for an aggregate capitalized cost of $291.3 million, ($20.7 million for the property transferred from the Company at cost) of which $173.3 million was funded through non-recourse mortgages, which bear interest at fixed rates (including imputed rates), ranging from 4.8% to 6.8% and mature at various dates ranging from 2009 to 2019.

      LRA has a management agreement with LION whereby LRA will perform certain services for a fee relating to acquisition, financing and management of the LION investments.

      The Company is required to first offer to LION all of the Company’s opportunities (other than the opportunities it is required to offer LAC II) to acquire office, industrial and retail properties requiring a minimum investment $15.0 million to $40.0 million which are net leased primarily to non-investment grade tenants for a minimum term of at least five years, are available for immediate delivery and satisfy other specified investment criteria. Only if Clarion elects not to approve the joint venture’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity may the Company pursue the opportunity directly.

      In June 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Utah State Retirement Investment Fund (“Utah”). The joint venture entity, Triple Net Investment Company LLC (“TNI”), was created to acquire high quality office and industrial properties net leased to non-investment grade single tenant users. The Company and Utah initially committed to fund equity contributions to TNI of $15 million and $35 million, respectively. In December 2004, the Company and Utah increased their equity commitment by $21.4 million and $50.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, $39.9 million of the commitments has been funded. In addition, TNI finances a portion of acquisition costs through the use of non-recourse mortgages. During 2004, TNI made eleven acquisitions (three of which were transferred from the Company) for an aggregate $114.5 million, ($46.0 million for properties transferred from the Company at cost) of which $73.9 million was funded through non-recourse mortgages, which bear interest at fixed rates (including imputed rates) ranging from 4.9% to 7.9% and mature at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2018.

      LRA has a management agreement with TNI whereby LRA will perform certain services for a fee relating to acquisition, financing and management of the TNI investment.

      The Company is required to first offer to Utah all of the Company’s opportunities (other than the opportunities it is required to offer LAC II and LION) to acquire office and industrial properties requiring a minimum investment of $8 million to $30 million, which are net leased to non-investment grade tenants for a minimum term of at least seven years, are generally available for immediate delivery and satisfy other specified investment criteria. Only if Utah elects not to approve the joint venture’s pursuit of an acquisition opportunity may the Company pursue the opportunity directly.

      In 1999, the Company also formed a joint venture to own a property net leased to Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina, Inc. The Company has a 40% interest in the joint venture and LRA entered into a management agreement with the joint venture with similar terms as the management agreement with the above mentioned joint venture programs.

      In January 2002, the Company sold a 77.3% interest in its Florence, South Carolina property net leased to Washington Mutual Home Loans, Inc., along with the proportionate share of mortgage debt for $4.6 million in

proceeds. During 2004, the Company repurchased the entire 77.3% interest it did not own in this property for $6.1 million.

      Operating Partnership Structure. The operating partnership structure enables the Company to acquire properties by issuing to a property owner, as a form of consideration in exchange for the property, interests in the Company’s operating partnerships (“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.

      Advisory Contracts. In addition to the contracts discussed above, LRA has an advisory and asset management agreement to invest and manage $50 million of equity on behalf of a private investment fund. The investment program could, depending on leverage utilized, acquire up to $140 million in single tenant, net leased office, industrial and retail properties in the United States. LRA earns acquisition fees (90 basis points of total acquisition costs), annual asset management fees (30 basis points of gross asset value) and a promoted interest of 16% of the return in excess of an internal rate of return of 10% earned by the private investment fund. The investment fund made no purchases in 2004 or 2003.

      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 seeks to acquire, generally 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 generally does not assume the risk associated with the construction phase of a project.

      Competition. Through our predecessor entities the Company has been in the net lease business for over 30 years and has established close relationships with a large number of major corporate tenants and maintains a broad network of contacts including developers, brokers and lenders. In addition, management is associated with and/or participates in many industry organizations. Notwithstanding these relationships, there are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, financial institutions and other investors with greater financial resources that compete with the Company in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in these properties. Due to the Company’s focus on net lease properties located throughout the United States, the Company does not generally encounter the same competitors in each region of the United States since most competitors are locally and/or regionally focused. The Company’s competitors include other REITs, pension funds, private companies and individuals.

      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. These liabilities may include 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 generally 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 to such environmental liability, the Company may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, 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.

      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 Annual Report, management is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the Company’s properties which management believes would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the

5


Table of Contents

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 financial condition and results of operations, including funds from operations.
 
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 a scheduled 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 and high occupancy levels. During 2004, the Company entered into 10 lease extensions for leases scheduled to expire at various dates ranging from 2005 to 2021, for an average 6.4 years.

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

      Property Sales. The Company sells properties when management believes that the return realized from selling a property will exceed the expected return from continuing to hold such property.

Access to Capital and Refinancing Existing Indebtedness

      During 2004 and 2003, the Company completed common share offerings of 6.9 million and 9.8 million shares, respectively, raising aggregate net proceeds of $144.0 million and $174.0 million, respectively. During 2004, the Company issued 2.7 million convertible preferred shares (currently convertible into approximately 5.0 million common shares) at $50 per share and a dividend rate of 6.50%, raising net proceeds of $131.1 million. In 2003, the Company issued 3.16 million redeemable preferred shares at $25 per share and a dividend rate of 8.05%, raising net proceeds of $76.3 million.

      During 2003, the Company, including its non-consolidated entities, repaid $131.9 million in mortgages, which resulted in aggregate debt satisfaction charges of $8.5 million.

      During 2004, the Company, including its non-consolidated entities, obtained and/or assumed $699.1 million in non-recourse mortgage financings on properties at a fixed weighted average interest rate (including imputed interest rates) of 5.8%. The proceeds of the financings were used to partially fund acquisitions.

      As a result of the Company’s financing activities, the weighted average fixed interest rate on the Company’s outstanding indebtedness has been reduced from approximately 7.1% as of December 31, 2003, to

approximately 6.6% as of December 31, 2004. Scheduled balloon payments over the next five years are as follows ($000’s):

      The Company’s variable rate unsecured credit facility bears interest at 150-250 basis points over the Company’s option of 1, 3 or 6 month LIBOR rates, depending on the amount of properties the Company owns free and clear of mortgage debt, and is scheduled to mature in August 2006. The Company can extend the maturity date to August 2007, if no default exists for a fee of 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding under this facility. The Company has issued letters of credit aggregating $3.9 million in accordance with provisions in certain non-recourse mortgages, which expire at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2012.

      In 1999, the Company issued 287,888 common shares in which it had the obligation to repurchase for $13.50 per share through December 2004. As of December 31, 2004 the obligation expired and the Company has included such shares in shareholders’ equity.

      Common Share Repurchase. The Company’s Board of Trustees authorized the repurchase of up to 2.0 million common shares and/or OP Units. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has repurchased approximately 1.4 million common shares/ OP Units at an average price of $10.59 per share/ OP Unit.

Other

      Employees. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had forty employees.

      Industry Segments. The Company operates in one industry segment, investment in single tenant, net leased real properties.

      Recent Developments. On February 25, 2005, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) to purchase a portfolio of 27 properties from unaffiliated sellers. The total purchase price is approximately $786.0 million.

      Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the closing of the transaction will occur no earlier than March 25, 2005. Each of the Company and Sellers has the right to extend the closing date until no later than April 29, 2005, by giving written notice to the other party on or before March 22, 2005. The agreement is subject to a number of closing conditions, all of which must be satisfied for the closing to occur.

      To finance the acquisition, the Company received a loan commitment from JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., for $558.3 million of non-recourse first mortgage loans secured by individual first mortgages on each of the properties and on five other properties which the Company presently owns free and clear. The loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed rate of 5.20%. The loans will mature in six to ten years with a weighted average maturity of approximately eight years. The loans are subject to final documentation and standard closing conditions.

properties were 98.1% leased based upon net rentable square feet. As of December 31, 2004, the number, percentage of trailing 12 month base rent (including base rent from properties sold through date of sale, properties held for sale and the Company’s proportionate share of non-consolidated entities) and square footage mix of the Company’s portfolio is as follows:

      The Company’s properties are generally subject to net leases; however, in certain leases the Company is responsible for roof and structural repairs. In such situations the Company performs annual inspections of the properties. Eight of the Company’s properties (including non-consolidated entities) are subject to leases in which the landlord is responsible for a portion of the real estate taxes, utilities and general maintenance. The Company is responsible for all operating expenses of any vacant properties. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had three vacant properties (Phoenix, Arizona, Hebron, Kentucky and Dallas, Texas). The Phoenix, Arizona property is classified as held for sale at December 31, 2004.

      The Company’s tenants represent a variety of industries including general retailing, finance and insurance, energy, transportation and logistics, technology, telecommunications and defense. For the year ended December 31, 2004, base rent, including base rent earned by non-consolidated entities, from properties held for sale, and for properties sold through date of sale, were earned from 108 tenants in 20 different industries.

      Tenant Leases. A substantial portion of the Company’s income consists of base rent under long-term leases. As of December 31, 2004, of the 154 properties, three are vacant and the remaining are subject to 155 leases.

      Ground Leases. The Company has 10 properties (including a property owned by a non-consolidated entity) that are subject to long term ground leases where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to the Company. In each of these situations the rental payments made to the landowner are passed on to the Company’s tenant. At the end of these long-term ground leases, unless extended, the land together with all improvements thereon reverts to the landowner. In addition, the Company has one property in which a portion of the land, on which a portion of the parking lot is located, is subject to a ground lease. At expiration of the ground lease only that portion of the parking lot reverts to the land owner. These ground leases, including renewal options, expire at various dates from 2026 through 2072.

      Leverage. The Company generally uses fixed rate, non-recourse mortgages to partially fund the acquisition of real estate. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding mortgages of $765.1 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.6%.

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings

      From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. In management’s opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including in respect of the matter referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ownership, financial condition, management or operation of its properties.

      VarTec Telecom, Inc. Bankruptcy. On November 1, 2004, VarTec Telecom, Inc. (“VarTec”), previously one of our largest tenants based upon base rent, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). VarTec leased a 249,452 square foot office property in Dallas, Texas. The VarTec lease was to expire in September, 2015.

      On December 17, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved VarTec’s motion to reject the lease. As a result of the rejection of the lease, the Company incurred a fourth quarter non-cash charge of approximately $2.9 million due to the write-off of deferred rent receivable and unamortized lease costs. In addition, as a result of the rejection of the lease, the Company has an unsecured claim for any damages resulting from the breach of the lease, including rent for the period from the rejection date through the remainder of the lease term, subject to a cap under applicable bankruptcy law. The Company may not be able to collect all or any portion of these unsecured claims.

      The VarTec property is subject to a non-recourse mortgage with an outstanding balance of $20.9 million as of December 31, 2004. The note has a fixed interest rate of 7.49%, requires annual debt service of $2.0 million and is scheduled to mature in December, 2012, when a balloon payment of $16.0 million is due. The lender holds a $2.5 million letter of credit issued by the Company as collateral against the mortgage.

      While the Company intends to continue paying regular quarterly dividends to holders of its common shares, future dividend declarations will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on the actual cash flow of the Company, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties, the operating expenses of the Company, the interest and principal payments required under various borrowing agreements, the ability of lessees to meet their obligations to the Company and any unanticipated capital expenditures.

      The various instruments governing the Company’s unsecured bank debt impose certain restrictions on the Company with regard to dividends and incurring additional debt obligations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      The Company does not believe that the financial covenants contained in its unsecured revolving credit agreement and secured indebtedness will have any adverse impact on the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the normal course of business to its common and preferred shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to maintain its qualifications as a REIT.

      The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment program pursuant to which common shareholders and operating partnership limited partners may elect to automatically reinvest their dividends and distributions to purchase common shares of the Company at a 5% discount to the market price and free of commissions and other charges. The Company may, from time to time, either repurchase common shares in the open market, or issue new common shares, for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under the dividend reinvestment program. Under this program none of the common shares issued were purchased on the open market.

(1)  The Company believes that Funds From Operations (“FFO”) enhances an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company believes that FFO is an appropriate, but limited, measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined in the April 2002 “White Paper”, issued 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 sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” The Company included in the calculation of FFO the dilutive effect of the deemed conversion of its outstanding exchangeable notes (in 2001 and 2000) which were redeemed by the Company in 2001 and

26


Table of Contents

the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares in 2004. FFO 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.

 
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 throughout the United States. The Company believes it has operated as a REIT since October 1993. As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned or had interests in 154 real estate properties encompassing 32.3 million rentable square feet. During 2004, the Company purchased 44 properties, including non-consolidated investments, for a capitalized cost of $935.1 million.

      During 2004, the Company sold eight properties to unrelated third parties for net sales price of $36.7 million. In addition, the Company contributed eight properties to its various joint venture programs for $197.0 million which approximated carrying costs. In addition, the Company was reimbursed for certain holding costs by the partners in the joint ventures.

      As of December 31, 2004, the Company leased properties to 108 tenants in 20 different industries.

      The Company’s revenues and cash flows are generated predominantly from property rent receipts. Growth in revenue and cash flows is directly correlated to the Company’s ability to (i) acquire income producing properties and (ii) to release properties that are vacant, or may become vacant at favorable rental rates. The challenge the Company faces in purchasing properties is finding investments that will provide an attractive return without compromising the Company’s real estate underwriting criteria. The Company believes it has access to acquisition opportunities due to its relationship with developers, brokers, corporate users and sellers.

      In the past three years, the Company has experienced minimal lease turnover, and accordingly minimal capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that this will continue. Through 2009, the Company, including its non-consolidated entities, has 42 leases expiring which generate approximately $58.4 million in base rent, including the Company’s proportion share of base rent from non-consolidated entities. Releasing these properties at favorable effective rates is the primary focus of the Company.

      The primary risks associated with re-tenanting properties are (i) the period of time required to find a new tenant (ii) whether rental rates will be lower than previously received (iii) the significant leasing costs such as commissions and tenant improvement allowances and (iv) the payment of operating costs such as real estate taxes and insurance while there is no offsetting revenue. The Company addresses these risks by contacting tenants well in advance of lease maturity to get an understanding of their occupancy needs, contacting local brokers to determine the depth of the rental market and, if required, retaining local expertise to assist in the re-tenanting of a property. As part of the acquisition underwriting process, the Company focuses on buying general purpose real estate which can be leased to other tenants without significant modification to the properties. No assurance can be given that once a property becomes vacant it will subsequently be re-let.

      During 2003, the Company sold four properties for $11.1 million to unrelated parties, which resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $2.2 million. During 2002, the Company sold five properties for $20.8 million to unrelated parties, which resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $1.1 million. During 2003, the Company contributed 2 properties to LION for $23.8 million, which approximated carrying costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

      The Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities reported. The following are

27


Table of Contents

critical accounting policies which are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and which require some of management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. The accounting for these matters involves the making of estimates based on current facts, circumstances and assumptions which could change in a manner that would materially affect management’s future estimate with respect to such matters. Accordingly, future reported financial conditions and results could differ materially from financial conditions and results reported based on management’s current estimates.

      Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 “Accounting for Leases”, as amended (SFAS No. 13). SFAS No. 13 requires that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Leases that include renewal options with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight line rent if they do not meet the criteria of a bargain renewal option.

      Gains on sales of real estate are recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”, as amended. The specific timing of the sale is measured against various criteria in SFAS No. 66 related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met.

      Accounts Receivable. The Company continuously monitors collections from its tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Company has identified. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

      Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of mark to market adjustments for assumed mortgage debt relating to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

      The fair value of the tangible assets, which includes land, building and improvements, and fixtures and equipment, of an acquired property is determined to valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on management’s determination of relative fair values of these assets. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions.

      In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and a management estimate of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases.

      The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The value of in-place leases and customer relationships are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases.

Table of Contents

      Impairment of Real Estate. Annually, and if events and circumstances require, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its real estate held to determine if an impairment has occurred which would require the recognition of a loss. The evaluation includes reviewing anticipated cash flows of the property, based on current leases in place, coupled with an estimate of proceeds to be realized upon sale. However, estimating future sale proceeds is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results.

      Properties Held For Sale. The Company accounts for properties held for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, as amended “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS No. 144). SFAS 144 requires that the assets and liabilities of properties that meet various criteria in SFAS No. 144 be presented separately in the statement of financial position, with assets and liability being separately stated. The operating results of these properties are reflected as discontinued operations in the income statement. Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria of SFAS No. 144 are accounted for as operating properties.

      Basis of Consolidation. The Company determines whether an entity for which it holds an interest should be consolidated pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). If not, and the Company controls the entities voting shares and similar rights, the entity is consolidated. FIN 46R requires the Company to evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Since becoming a public company, the Company’s principal sources of capital for growth has been the public and private equity markets, selective secured indebtedness, its unsecured credit facility, issuance of OP Units and undistributed funds from operations. The Company expects to continue to have access to and use these sources in the future; however, there are factors that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s access to capital sources. The Company’s ability to incur additional debt to fund acquisitions is dependent upon its existing leverage, the value of the assets the Company is attempting to leverage and general economic conditions which may be outside of management’s influence.

      The Company’s current $100.0 million variable rate unsecured revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire in August 2006, has made available funds to finance acquisitions and meet any short-term working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding. The Company did have $3.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under the facility. The Company pays an unused facility fee equal to 25 basis points if 50% or less of the facility is utilized and 15 basis points if greater than 50% of the facility is utilized. The Company has the option to extend the maturity to August 2007, if no defaults exist, upon a payment of $0.3 million.

      During 2004, the Company completed a 6.9 million common share offering, raising $144.0 million of net proceeds. The Company also completed a 2.7 million convertible preferred share offering with a cumulative preferred dividend rate of 6.50% raising net proceeds of $131.1 million. As of December 31, 2004, these preferred shares are convertible into approximately 5.0 million common shares.

      During 2003, the Company completed a 4.5 million common share offering and a 5.3 million common share offering raising an aggregate of $174.0 million of net proceeds. The Company completed a 3.16 million redeemable preferred share offering with a cumulative preferred dividend rate of 8.05% raising net proceeds of $76.3 million. The proceeds of these offerings were used to repay debt and fund acquisitions.

      The Company has made equity commitments of $192.1 million to its various joint venture programs, of which $66.1 million is unfunded as of December 31, 2004. This amount will be funded as investments are made. In addition, the joint venture agreements provide the partners, under certain circumstances, the ability to put their interests to the Company for cash or commons shares. This put could require the Company to use its resources to purchase these assets instead of more favorable investment opportunities. The aggregate contingent commitment as of December 31, 2004 is approximately $222.3 million.

      Dividends. In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its shareholders. These dividends are

29


Table of Contents

expected to be paid from operating cash flows and/or from other sources. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investments, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio as a percentage of FFO, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the maintenance or expansion of properties in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties as suitable opportunities arise, and such other factors as the Board of Trustees considers appropriate.

      Dividends paid to common shareholders increased to $65.1 million in 2004, compared to $45.8 million in 2003 and $35.8 million in 2002. Preferred dividends paid were $6.4 million, $1.8 million and $0.7 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      Although the Company receives the majority of its base rent payments on a monthly basis, it intends to continue paying dividends quarterly. Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution are invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments. On November 1, 2004, the tenant in the Company’s Dallas, Texas property, VarTec Telcom, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and subsequently rejected its lease with the Company. The lease, provided for $3.5 million in annual base rent and $3.4 million in annual cash rent. In addition, under the terms of the lease the tenant was responsible for all operating expenses of the property. As the tenant has rejected the lease, in addition to the loss of base rent, the Company will be responsible for operating expenses until a replacement tenant can be found. The Company has assessed the recoverability of this asset, which it is holding for investment, and believes it is not impaired as of December 31, 2004. The Company has written off $2.9 million in other assets relating to this bankruptcy.

      The Company believes that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund its operating and administrative expenses, regular debt service obligations and all dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. In addition, the Company anticipates that cash on hand, borrowings under its unsecured credit facility, issuance of equity and debt, as well as other alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by the Company. Cash flows from operations as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash flows increased to $90.9 million for 2004 from $71.8 million for 2003 and $57.7 million for 2002. Cash flows from operations was negatively impacted in 2003 and 2002 by the payment of $7.2 million and, $0.3 million respectively in prepayment penalties on debt satisfactions.

      Net cash used in investing activities totaled $202.5 million in 2004, $298.6 million in 2003 and $107.1 million in 2002. Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to investments in real estate properties and joint ventures. Therefore, the fluctuation in investing activities relates primarily to the timing of investments and dispositions.

      Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $242.7 million in 2004, $229.0 million in 2003 and $47.6 million in 2002. Cash provided by financing activities during each year was primarily attributable to proceeds from equity offerings, non-recourse mortgages and advances/repayments under the Company’s credit facility offset by dividend and distribution payments and mortgage principal payments.

      UPREIT Structure. The Company’s UPREIT structure permits the Company to effect acquisitions by issuing to a property owner, as a form of consideration in exchange for the property, OP Units in partnerships controlled by the Company. All of such OP Units are redeemable at certain times for common shares on a one-for-one basis and all of such OP Units require the Company to pay certain distributions to the holders of such OP Units. The Company accounts for these OP Units 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, as such OP Units are redeemed for common shares.

Financing

      Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s $100.0 million unsecured credit facility, which expires August 2006 and can be extended by the Company for one year with a payment of $0.3 million, bears interest at 150-250 basis points over LIBOR depending on the amount of properties the Company owns free and clear of mortgage debt, 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. As of December 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding and $96.1 million was available to be drawn. The Company has five outstanding letters of credit aggregating $3.9 million issued in accordance with provisions in certain non-recourse mortgages, which expire at various dates ranging from 2010 to 2012, under the facility.

      Debt Service Requirements. The Company’s principal liquidity needs are the payment of interest and principal on outstanding indebtedness. As of December 31, 2004, a total of 70 of the Company’s 107 consolidated properties, were subject to outstanding mortgages which had an aggregate principal amount of $765.9 million, including properties included in discontinued operations. As of December 31, 2004, the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s outstanding debt, was approximately 6.6%. The scheduled principal amortization payments for the next five years are as follows: $24.1 million in 2005; $25.9 million in 2006, $31.3 million in 2007, $25.5 million in 2008 and $26.0 million in 2009. Approximate balloon payment amounts, having a weighted average interest rate of 6.7%, due the next five years are as follows: $12.7 million in 2005, $0 in 2006, $0 in 2007, $65.6 million in 2008 and $47.7 million in 2009. 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 unsecured credit facility or access other capital. The ability of the Company to accomplish such goals will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the real estate industry, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt 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.

31


Table of Contents

      The Company expects to continue to use property specific, non-recourse mortgages as it believes that by properly matching a debt obligation, including the balloon maturity risk, with a lease expiration the Company’s cash-on-cash returns increase and the exposure to residual valuation risk is reduced.

Other

      Lease Obligations. Since the Company’s tenants generally bear all or substantially all of the cost of property operations, maintenance and repairs, the Company does not anticipate significant needs for cash for these costs. For eight of the properties, the Company has a level of property operating expense responsibility. 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. To the extent there is a vacancy in a property, the Company would be obligated for all operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2004, three properties were vacant.

      The Company’s tenants pay the rental obligations on ground leases either directly to the fee holder or to the Company as increased rent. The annual ground lease rental payment obligations for each of the next five years is $1.0 million.

 
Step Down Renewals

      The leases on the following properties contain renewal options, exercisable by the tenant, with rents per square foot less than that paid in 2004. The Company does not believe that any of these renewal options are bargain renewal options, and, accordingly, the renewal periods are excluded from straight-line rent calculations.

Amounts disclosed through 2008 include rent for the Company’s corporate office which is fixed through 2008 and adjusted to fair market value as determined at January 2009. Therefore, the amounts for 2009 and thereafter do not include corporate office rent.
 
(2)  The Company has the ability to extend the maturity of this mortgage note to 2006.
 
(3)  The Company has $3,864 in outstanding letters of credit.
 
(4)  The Company has approximately $66,100 of unfunded equity commitments to joint ventures. In addition, the joint venture agreements provide the partners, under certain circumstances, the ability to put their interests to the Company for cash or common shares. The aggregate contingent commitment as of December 31, 2004 is approximately $222,300.

      Capital Expenditures. Due to the net lease structure, the Company does not incur significant expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain its properties. However, as leases expire, the Company expects to incur costs in extending the existing tenant lease or re-tenanting the properties. The amounts of these expenditures can vary significantly depending on tenant negotiations, market conditions and rental rates. These expenditures are expected to be funded from operating cash flows or borrowings on the

credit facility. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had entered into binding letters of intent to purchase two properties upon completion of (i) construction and commencement of rent from the tenants and/or (ii) the seller fulfilling its contractual obligation concerning certain deliverables. As of December 31, 2004 the aggregate estimated obligation was $28.8 million.

      Shares Repurchase. The Company’s Board of Trustees has authorized the Company to repurchase, from time to time, up to 2.0 million common shares and OP Units depending on market conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had repurchased approximately 1.4 million common shares and OP Units, at an average price of approximately $10.59 per common share/OP Unit.

Comparison of 2004 to 2003

      Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. Of the increase in total gross revenues in 2004 of $40.2 million, $34.9 million is primarily attributable to (i) base rent from properties purchased in 2004 and 2003 ($34.5 million) and (ii) a net increase in base rent due to lease extensions and index adjusted rents ($0.5 million), offset by (iii) an increase in vacancy ($0.1 million). The remaining $5.3 million increase in gross revenues in 2004 was attributable to an increase in tenant reimbursements of $1.8 million and $3.5 million increase in advisory fees. The increase in interest and amortization expense of $10.6 million is due to the additional mortgage loans obtained due to growth of the Company’s portfolio and has been partially offset by interest savings resulting from scheduled principal amortization payments, lower interest rates and mortgage satisfactions. The increase in depreciation and amortization of $13.3 million is due primarily to the growth in real estate and intangibles due to property acquisitions. The Company’s general and administrative expenses increased by $4.3 million primarily due to greater professional service fees ($1.2 million), personnel costs ($1.4 million), severance costs for a former officer ($0.5 million), trustee fees ($0.3 million), and investor relations/financial reporting ($0.2 million). The Company incurred a $2.9 million write-off of assets relating to the bankruptcy of VarTec Telecom, Inc., the tenant in its Dallas, Texas property, in 2004. The increase in property operating expenses of $2.3 million is due primarily to incurring property level operating expenses for properties in which the Company has operating expense responsibility and an increase in vacancy. Debt satisfaction charges decreased by $7.5 million due to the payoff of certain mortgages in 2003. Non-operating income increased $1.8 million primarily due to reimbursement of certain costs from non-consolidated entities and greater interest earned. The provision for income taxes increased due to increased earnings in taxable REIT subsidiaries. Minority interest expense increased by $0.6 million due to the increase in earnings at the partnership level. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities increased $1.5 million due to an increase in assets owned and net income of non-consolidated entities (see below). Net income increased primarily due to the positive impact of items discussed above plus a $3.3 million increase in gains on sales, offset by a reduction in income from discontinued operations of $2.7 million and a $5.5 million impairment charge in 2004. During 2004, the Company sold eight properties which resulted in aggregate net gain on sale of $5.5 million. As of December 31, 2004, four properties are classified as held for sale as these properties met all criteria of SFAS No. 144. During 2004, the aggregate impairment charge of $5.5 million was incurred on four properties including one currently classified as held for sale. The impairment charges were recognized when the Company decided to sell the properties instead of holding them for investment. Net income allocable to common shareholders increased due to the items discussed above offset by an increase in preferred dividends of $3.6 million resulting from the issuance of preferred shares in 2004 and 2003.

      The Company’s non-consolidated entities had aggregate net income of $20.6 million in 2004 compared with $16.5 million in 2003. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in gross revenues of $32.5 million attributable to the acquisition of properties. These revenue sources were partly offset by an increase in (i) interest expense of $12.3 million due to partial funding of acquisitions with the use of non-recourse mortgage debt, (ii) depreciation expense of $12.4 million due to more depreciable assets owned, and (iii) property operating expenses of $3.4 million.

      Any increase in net income in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by the Company. Without acquisitions, which in addition to generating rental revenue, generate acquisition, debt placement and asset management fees when such properties are acquired by joint venture or advisory

34


Table of Contents

programs, growth in net income is dependent on index adjusted rents, percentage rents, reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and by controlling variable overhead costs. However, there are many factors beyond management’s control that could offset these items including, without limitation, increased interest rates of debt and tenant monetary defaults.

Comparison of 2003 to 2002

      Changes in the results of operations for the Company are primarily due to the growth of its portfolio and costs associated with such growth. Of the increase in total gross revenues in 2003 of $21.6 million, $20.1 million is primarily attributable to (i) base rent from properties purchased in 2003 and 2002 ($14.3 million), (ii) the consolidation of LRA ($4.4 million) and (iii) the expansion of a property ($1.4 million). The remaining $1.5 million increase in gross revenues in 2003 was attributable to the advisory fees related to the consolidation of LRA. The increase in interest and amortization expense of $1.8 million is due to the growth of the Company’s portfolio and has been partially offset by interest savings resulting from scheduled principal amortization payments, lower interest rates and mortgage satisfactions. The increase in depreciation and amortization of $5.5 million is due primarily to the growth in real estate due to property acquisitions. The Company’s general and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million primarily due to greater personnel costs ($1.7 million), occupancy costs ($0.2 million), professional service fees ($0.2 million) and the consolidation of LRA ($1.9 million). The increase in property operating expenses of $1.6 million is due primarily to incurring property level operating expenses for properties in which the Company has operating expense responsibility. Debt satisfaction charges increased by $7.1 million due to the payoff of certain mortgages in 2003. Minority interest expense decreased by $0.9 million due to the decrease in earnings at the partnership level. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities increased $0.7 million due to an increase in assets owned and net income of non-consolidated entities (see below). Net income increased primarily due to the positive impact of items discussed above offset by decreases of $1.2 million in income from discontinued operations plus a $1.1 million increase in gains on sales. Net income allocable to common shareholders increased due to the items discussed above offset by an increase in preferred dividends of $2.7 million resulting from the issuance of preferred shares.

      The Company’s non-consolidated entities had aggregate net income of $16.5 million in 2003 compared to $13.6 million in 2002. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in gross revenues of $9.0 million in 2003 attributable to acquisition of properties and the formation of a new joint venture. These revenue sources were partly offset by an increase in (i) interest expense of $2.1 million in 2003 due to increased acquisition leverage, (ii) depreciation expense of $1.8 million in 2003 due to more depreciable assets owned, and (iii) property operating expenses of $2.1 million. The financial information for non-consolidated entities does not include information for LRA.

      Inflation. The Company’s long term leases contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on its operating results. Such provisions include clauses entitling the Company to receive (i) scheduled fixed base rent increases and (ii) base rent increases based upon the consumer price index. In addition, the majority of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay operating expenses, including maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

      Environmental Matters. Based upon management’s ongoing review of its properties, management is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of the Company’s properties, which 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, 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 financial condition and results of operations.

Funds From Operations

      The Company believes that Funds From Operations (“FFO”) enhances an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company believes that FFO is an appropriate, but limited, measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined in the April 2002 “White Paper”, issued 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 sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” The Company included in the calculation of FFO the effect of the deemed conversion of its convertible OP Units and preferred shares. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity to other consolidated income or cash flow statement data as determined in accordance with GAAP.

      The following table reflects the calculation of the Company’s FFO and cash flow activities for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2004 ($000):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”), which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. The Company’s adoption of FIN 46R had no effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R established standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The impact of adopting this statement is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 Exchange of Non-monetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS No. 153”). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting

36


Table of Contents

for Non-monetary transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges, occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The impact of adopting this statement is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

      Non-Consolidated Real Estate Entities. As of December 31, 2004, the Company has investments in various real estate entities with varying structures. These investments include the Company’s 33 1/3% non-controlling interest in Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC; its 25% non-controlling interest in Lexington Acquiport Company II, LLC; its 40% non-controlling interest in Lexington Columbia LLC; its 30% non-controlling interest in Lexington/Lion Venture L.P.; its 30% non-controlling interest in Triple Net Investment Company LLC and its 33 1/3% non-controlling interest in Lexington Durham Limited Partnership. The properties owned by these entities are financed with individual non-recourse mortgage loans. Non-recourse mortgage debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders’ sole recourse with respect to borrower defaults is limited to the value of the property collateralized by the mortgage. The lender generally does not have recourse against any other assets owned by the borrower or any of the members of the borrower, except for certain specified expectations listed in the particular loan documents. These exceptions generally relate to limited circumstances including breaches of material representations.

      The Company invests in entities with third parties to increase portfolio diversification, reduce the amount of equity invested in any one property and to increase returns on equity due to the realization of advisory fees. See footnote 6 to the consolidated financial statements for summary combined balance sheet and income statement data relating to these entities.

      In addition, the Company has issued $3.9 million in letters of credit.

 
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

      The Company’s exposure to market risk relates to its debt. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s variable rate indebtedness represented 1.8% and 19.9%, respectively, of total mortgages and notes payable. During 2004 and 2003, this variable rate indebtedness had a weighted average interest rate of 3.6% and 4.0%, respectively. Had the weighted average interest rate been 100 basis points higher the Company’s net income would have been reduced by $0.3 million and $0.6 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s fixed rate debt, including discontinued operations, was $752.2 million and $441.7 million, respectively which represented 98.2% and 80.1%, respectively, of total long-term indebtedness. The weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2004 of fixed rate debt was 6.6%, which is approximately 110 basis points higher than the fixed rate debt obtained by the Company during 2004. With no fixed rate debt maturing until 2008, the Company believes it has limited market risk exposure to rising interest rates as it relates to its fixed rate debt obligations. However, had the fixed interest rate been higher by 100 basis points, the Company’s net income would have been reduced by $6.5 million and $4.5 million, for years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROLS

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

      Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

      All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

      In assessing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management used as guidance the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

      Based upon the assessment performed management believes that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting are effective as of December 31, 2004. In addition, KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting which is included on page 41.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders

Lexington Corporate Properties Trust:

      We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting, that Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

      Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

      In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements and financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index, and our report dated March 15, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule.

The Shareholders

Lexington Corporate Properties Trust:

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lexington Corporate Properties Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) 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 financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. 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, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

      We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

($000’s except per share data)
 
(1) The Company

      Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (the “Company”) is a self-managed and self-administered Maryland statutory real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, owns, and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of net leased office, industrial and retail properties and provides investment advisory and asset management services to institutional investors in the net lease area. As of December 31, 2004, the Company owned or had interests in 154 properties in 37 states. The real properties owned by the Company are generally subject to triple net leases to corporate tenants, however seven provide for operating expense stops and one is subject to a modified gross lease.

      The Company’s Board of Trustees authorized the Company to repurchase, from time to time, up to 2.0 million common shares and/or operating partnership units (“OP Units”) in its three controlled operating partnership subsidiaries, depending on market conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 2004, the Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million common shares/ OP Units at an average price of approximately $10.59 per common share/ OP Unit.

 
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries, including Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. (“LCIF II”), Net 3 Acquisition L.P. (“Net 3”), Lexington Realty Advisors, Inc. (“LRA”) and Lexington Contributions, Inc. (“LCI”), a wholly owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole equity owner of each of the general partner and majority limited partner of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company converted its non-voting interest in LRA to a 100% voting interest and accordingly has consolidated LRA commencing January 1, 2003, while it was accounted for under the equity method in 2002.

      Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income reduced by preferred dividends, if applicable, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share amounts are similarly computed but include the effect, when dilutive, of in-the-money common share options, OP Units and convertible preferred shares.

 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

      In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”), which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. The Company’s adoption of FIN 46R had no effect on Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

      FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”), was issued in May 2003. SFAS 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. For the Company, SFAS 150 was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective as of January 1, 2004, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, SFAS 150 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial

instruments. The Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS 150.

      In December 2002, FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”), was issued. SFAS 148 amends FASB SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Disclosures required by this standard are included in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R is effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The impact of adopting this statement is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

      In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153 Exchange of Non-monetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“SFAS No. 153”). The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This Statement amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges, occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The impact of adopting this statement is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

      Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable (primarily related to straight-line rents), allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments for assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.

      The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and improvements based on management’s determina-

AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

($000’s except per share data)

tion of relative fair values of these assets. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions.

      In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and a management estimate of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases.

      The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The value of in-place leases and customer relationships are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases.

      Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 Accounting for Leases, as amended (“SFAS 13”). SFAS 13 requires that revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Leases that include renewal options with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight line rent if they do not meet the criteria of a bargain renewal option.

      Gains on sales of real estate are recognized pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66 Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, as amended (“SFAS 66”). The specific timing of the sale is measured against various criteria in SFAS 66 related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, the gain is deferred and the finance, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, is applied until the sales criteria are met.

      Accounts Receivable. The Company continuously monitors collections from its tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Company has identified. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.

      Real Estate. The Company evaluates the carrying value of all real estate held when a triggering event under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, as amended (“SFAS 144”) has occurred to determine if an impairment has occurred which would require the recognition of a loss. The evaluation includes reviewing anticipated cash flows of the property, based on current leases in place, coupled with an estimate of proceeds to be realized upon sale. However, estimating future sale proceeds is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results.

      Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic useful lives of the properties. The Company generally depreciates buildings and building improvements over periods

ranging from 8 to 40 years, land improvements from 15 to 20 years, and fixtures and equipment from 12-16 years.

      Only costs incurred to third parties in acquiring properties are capitalized. No internal costs (rents, salaries, overhead) are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant renovations which extend the useful life of the properties are capitalized.

      Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities. The Company accounts for its investments in less than 50% owned entities under the equity method, unless pursuant to FIN 46R consolidation is required.

      Deferred Expenses. Deferred expenses consist primarily of debt and leasing costs. Debt costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the terms of the debt instruments and leasing costs are amortized over the life of the lease.

      Deferred Compensation. Deferred compensation consists of the value of non-vested common shares issued by the Company to employees and trustees. The deferred compensation is amortized ratably over the vesting period which generally is five years. Certain common shares vest only when certain performance based measures are met. As of December 31, 2004, none of the performance criteria have been met.

      Tax Status. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).

      The Company is now permitted to participate in certain activities which it was previously precluded from in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities which elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code. LRA and LCI are taxable REIT subsidiaries. As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.

      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

      A summary of the average taxable nature of the Company’s common dividends for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2004 is as follows:

                         
2004 2003 2002

      Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

      Common Share Options. The Company has elected to continue to account for its option plan under the recognition provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized with regard to options granted in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

      Common share options granted generally vest ratably over a four-year term and expire five years from the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding common share option awards in each period:

The value of common share options issued in 2003 were estimated to be $2.42. There were no common share options issued in 2004.

      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. These liabilities may include 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 and obligations with respect to such environmental liability, the Company may be required to satisfy any obligations. In addition, 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. As of December 31, 2004, the Company is not aware of any environmental matter that could have a material impact on the financial statements.

      Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including conforming the Consolidated Statements of Income to rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X and reclassifying certain income statement captions for properties held for sale as of December 31, 2004 and properties sold during 2004, which are presented as discontinued operations.

(4) Investments in Real Estate and Intangible Assets

      During 2004 and 2003, the Company made acquisitions, excluding acquisitions made directly by non-consolidated entities totaling, $467,940 and $329,191, respectively. These amounts include properties purchased by the Company that were subsequently transferred to non-consolidated entities. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company issued a $19,800 convertible mortgage note secured by a property in Carrollton, Texas. The note, which bore interest at 8.20%, provided for interest only payments through December 2004. In December 2004, the Company exercised its option to purchase the property by converting the note and paying $2,190 in cash. This purchase is included in the amount above.

      In 2004, the Company contributed eight properties to various non-consolidated entities for $196,982, including intangible assets, which approximated cost, and the non-consolidated entities assumed $97,641 in non-recourse debt. The Company received a cash payment of $68,203 relating to these contributions. In 2003, the Company contributed two properties to a non-consolidated entity for a cash payment of $23,849, which approximated cost. In addition during 2004, the partners of the non-consolidated entities reimbursed the Company for certain holding costs totaling $1,240, which is included in other non-operating income.

      The Company sold to unrelated parties eight properties in 2004, four properties in 2003 and four properties and one building in the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida property in 2002, for aggregate net proceeds of $36,651, $11,094 and $16,342, respectively, which resulted in gains in 2004, 2003 and 2002 of $5,475, $2,191 and $1,055, respectively. During 2004, the tenant in the Company’s Dallas, Texas property filed for bankruptcy and disaffirmed the lease resulting in the Company writing off $2,884 of assets.

      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the components of intangible assets are as follows:

                 
2004 2003


Origination costs
  $ 44,625     $ 13,487  
Customer relationships
    5,620       1,548  
Above-market leases
    4,876        
Below-market lease
    2,716        
     
     
 
    $ 57,837     $ 15,035  
     
     
 

      The estimated amortization of the above intangibles for each of the next five years is $4,687.

      The below-market lease resulted in a corresponding amount of deferred revenue.

 
(5) Discontinued Operations and Assets Held For Sale

      In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 established criteria beyond that previously specified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (“SFAS 121”), to determine when a long-lived asset is classified as held for sale, and it provides a single accounting model for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 was effective beginning January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company now reports as discontinued operations assets held for sale (as defined by SFAS 144) as of the end of the current period and assets sold subsequent to January 1, 2002. All results of these discontinued operations are included in a separate component of income on the Consolidated Statements of Income under discontinued operations.

(6) Investment in Non-Consolidated Entities

      The Company has investments in various real estate joint ventures. The business of each joint venture is to acquire, finance, hold for investment or sell single tenant net leased real estate.

 
Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC (Company has 33 1/3% interest.)

      Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC (“LAC”), is a joint venture with the Comptroller of the State of New York as Trustee for the Common Retirement Fund (“CRF”). The joint venture agreement expires in December 2011. The Company and CRF originally committed to contribute up to $50,000 and $100,000, respectively, to invest in high quality office and industrial net leased real estate. Through December 31, 2004, total contributions to LAC were $144,332. During 2003, LAC purchased two properties for a capitalized cost of $49,450. In 2003, the Company and CRF purchased a property outside the LAC joint venture for $22,700, which required an aggregate capital contribution of $3,751. The partners agreed that the aggregate of these contributions would close the funding obligations to LAC. LRA earns annual management fees of 2% of rent collected and acquisition fees equaling 75 basis points of purchase price of each property investment. All allocations of profit, loss and cash flows from LAC are made one-third to the Company and two-thirds to CRF.

      During 2001, the Company and CRF announced the formation of Lexington Acquiport Company II, LLC (“LAC II”). The Company and CRF have committed $50,000 and $150,000, respectively. In addition to the fees LRA currently earns on acquisitions and asset management in LAC, LRA will also earn 50 basis points on all mortgage debt directly placed in LAC II. All allocations of profit, loss and cash flows from LAC II will be allocated 25% to the Company and 75% to CRF. As of December 31, 2004, $76,494 has been funded by the members.

      CRF can presently elect to put their equity position in LAC and LAC II to the Company. The Company has the option of issuing common shares for the fair market value of CRF’s equity position (as defined) or cash for 110% of the fair market value of CRF’s equity position. The per common share value of shares issued for CRF’s equity position will be the greater of (i) the price of the Company’s common shares on the closing date, (ii) the Company’s funds from operations per share (as defined) multiplied by 8.5 or (iii) $13.40 for LAC properties and $15.20 for LAC II properties. The Company has the right not to accept any property (thereby reducing the fair market value of CRF’s equity position) that does not meet certain underwriting criteria (e.g. lease term and tenant credit). If CRF exercised this put, it is the Company’s current intention to

settle this amount in cash. In addition, the operating agreement contains a mutual buy-sell provision in which either partner can force the sale of any property.

(e) In 2003, the Company obtained a $100,000 unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires August 2006, bears interest at 150-250 basis points over LIBOR depending on the amount of properties the Company owns free and clear of mortgage debt and has an interest rate period of one, three or six months, at the option of the Company. The credit facility is provided by Fleet National Bank, as Administrative Agent and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent. The credit facility contains various leverage, debt service coverage, net worth maintenance and other customary covenants with which the Company is in compliance as of December 31, 2004. Approximately $96,136 was available under this credit facility to the Company at December 31, 2004. The Company has outstanding letters of credit aggregating $3,864. The Company pays an unused facility fee equal to 25 basis points if 50% or less of the facility is utilized and 15 basis points if greater than 50% of the facility is utilized. This facility replaced a $60,000 facility, which bore interest at the same spread to LIBOR.

(9)     Minority Interests

      In conjunction with several of the Company’s acquisitions, property owners were issued OP Units as a form of consideration in exchange for the property. All of such interest are redeemable at certain times, only at the option of the holders, for common shares on a one-for-one basis at various dates through November 2006 and are not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. As of December 31, 2004, there were 5,408,699 OP Units outstanding, of which 4,783,207 were currently redeemable for common shares. Of the total OP Units outstanding, 1,720,024 are held by two executive officers of the Company. All units have stated distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreement. To the extent that the Company’s dividend per share is less than the stated distribution per unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the distributions per unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company’s dividend. No units have a liquidation preference. As of December 31, 2003, there were 5,430,454 OP Units outstanding.

(10)     Preferred and Common Shares

      During 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 6,900,000 and 9,800,000 common shares in public offerings raising $144,045 and $174,023 in proceeds, respectively, which was used to retire mortgage debt and fund acquisitions.

      During 2004, the Company issued 2,700,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock raising net proceeds of $131,126. The shares have a dividend of $3.25 per share per annum, have a liquidation preference of $135,000, and the Company commencing November 2009, if certain common share prices are obtained, can force conversion into common shares. In addition, each share is currently convertible into 1.8643 common shares. This conversion ratio may increase over time if the Company’s common share dividend exceeds certain quarterly thresholds.

      If certain fundamental changes occur, holders may require the Company, in certain circumstances, to repurchase all or part of their Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will under certain circumstances increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring or surviving company.

      On or after November 16, 2009, the Company may, at the Company’s option, cause the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equal or exceeds 125% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.

      Investors in the Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters and under certain other circumstances. Upon conversion the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to investors in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares.

      During 2003, the Company issued 3,160,000 Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares raising net proceeds of $76,315. These shares have a dividend of $2.0125 per share per annum, have a liquidation preference of $79,000, have no voting rights, and are redeemable by the Company at $25.00 per share ($79,000) commencing June 2008.

      During 2004 and 2003, holders of an aggregate of 114,159 and 71,567 OP Units redeemed such OP Units for common shares of the Company. These redemptions resulted in an increase in shareholders’ equity and corresponding decrease in minority interest of $1,487 and $915, respectively.

      During 2003, three officers repaid recourse notes to the Company including accrued interest thereon, of $2,522 by delivering to the Company 158,224 common shares.

      During 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 201,029 and 336,992 common shares, respectively, to certain employees and trustees resulting in $4,381 and $5,887 of deferred compensation, respectively. These common shares generally vest ratably, primarily over a 5 year period, however in certain situations the vesting is cliff based after 5 years and in other cases vesting only occurs if certain performance criteria are met.

      The Company maintains a common share option plan pursuant to which qualified and non-qualified options may be issued. Options granted under the plan generally vest over a period of one to four years and expire five years from date of grant. No compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant.

      There are 1,404,853 options available for grant at December 31, 2004.

      The Company has 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 $171, $127 and $124 of contributions are applicable to 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

      During 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 201,029 and 336,992 common shares, respectively, to certain employees and trustees resulting in $4,381 and $5,887 of deferred compensation, respectively. These common shares generally vest ratably, primarily over a 5 year period, however in certain situations the vesting is cliff based after 5 years and in other cases vesting only occurs if certain performance criteria are met.

($000’s except per share data)

      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, 452,723 and 374,507 common shares were non-vested, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 122,813, 100,474, and 60,280 common shares vested, respectively, which generated compensation expense of $1,954, $1,389 and $735, respectively.

      The Company has established a trust for certain officers in which non-vested common shares, which generally vest ratably over five years, granted for the benefit of the officers are deposited. The officers exert no control over the common shares in the trust and the common shares are available to the general creditors of the Company. As of December 31, 2004, and 2003, there were 784,761 and 700,186 common shares, respectively, in the trust.

(12)     Income Taxes

      Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

      The Company’s provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is summarized as follows:

                           
2004 2003 2002



Current:
                       
 
Federal
  $ 2,249     $     $  
 
State and local
    958       259       136  
Deferred:
                       
 
Federal
    (1,722 )            
 
State and local
    (304 )            
     
     
     
 
    $ 1,181     $ 259     $ 136  
     
     
     
 

      Deferred tax assets of $2,026 are included in other assets on the accompanying Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 and are realizable based upon projected future taxable income. There were no deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2003. These deferred tax assets relate primarily to differences in the timing of the recognition of income/ (loss) between GAAP and tax basis of real estate investments and interest.

      The income tax provision differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax operating income as follows (in thousands):

                         
2004 2003 2002



Federal provision at statutory tax rate (35%)
  $ 1,106     $     $  
State and local taxes, net of Federal benefit
    195              
Other
    (120 )     259       136  
     
     
     
 
    $ 1,181     $ 259     $ 136  
     
     
     
 

      The provision for income taxes relates primarily to the taxable income of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. The earnings, other than in taxable REIT subsidiaries, of the Company are not generally subject to Federal income taxes at the Company level due to the REIT election made by the Company.

(13)     Commitments and Contingencies

      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.

      The Company, including its non-consolidated entities, are obligated under certain tenant leases to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties.

      The Company has entered into letters of intent to purchase, upon completion of construction and rent commencement from the tenants, properties for an estimated aggregate obligation of $28,768.

(14)     Related Party Transactions

      During 2003, the Company issued 231,763 OP Units to satisfy outstanding obligations that resulted in a gain of $896. Of the OP Units issued, the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Company received 120,662 units.

      During 2003, three executive officers repaid recourse notes to the Company including accrued interest thereon, of $2,522 by delivering to the Company 158,224 common shares.

      As of December 31, 2003, the Company was obligated for $808 resulting from the acquisition of certain properties in 1996. Of the $808, the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees were owed $414. During 2004, this obligation was satisfied as part of the acquisition by the Company of 100% of the partnership interests it did not already own of a partnership that owned a single tenant net leased property. The acquisition was effected through the issuance of 97,828 OP Units, of which the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees received an aggregate 27,212.

      In 2002, the Company issued 34,483 common shares in respect of a 15-year, 8% interest only recourse note to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company for $500. This note was satisfied in 2003.

      All related party acquisitions, sales and loans were approved by the independent members of the Board of Trustees or the Audit Committee.

      In addition, the Company earns fees from its non-consolidated investments (See note 6).

(15)     Fair Market Value of Financial Instruments

      Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

      The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

      Mortgages and Notes Payable

      The Company determines the fair value of these instruments based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments exceeds carrying value by $29,536 as of December 31, 2004 and approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2003.

(16)     Concentration of Risk

      The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through diversification achieved by the geographic distribution of its properties, avoiding dependency on a single property and the creditworthiness of its tenants.

      For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, no tenant represented 10% or more of gross revenues.

(17)     Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information

      During 2004, the Company issued 97,828 OP Units valued at $1,801 to acquire 100% of the partnership interest in a partnership it did not already own. The partnership owned a single net leased property. Of these OP Units, 27,212 were issued to the Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

      During 2003, the Company issued 231,763 OP Units to satisfy $5,641 in outstanding obligations which resulted in a gain of $896.

      During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company paid $41,179, $36,467 and $32,255, respectively, for interest and $4,078, $282 and $262, respectively, for income taxes.

      During 2003, three executive officers repaid recourse notes to the Company including accrued interest thereon, of $2,522 by delivering to the Company 158,224 common shares.

      During 2004, 2003 and 2002, holders of an aggregate of 114,159, 71,567, and 50,997 OP Units, respectively, redeemed such units for common shares of the Company. These redemptions resulted in increases in shareholders’ equity and corresponding decreases in minority interests of $1,487, $915 and $619, respectively.

      During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company issued 201,029, 336,992 and 64,249 common shares to certain employees and trustees resulting in $4,381, $5,887 and $860 of deferred compensation.

      During 2002, the holder of the Company’s 2 million Series A preferred shares converted them into 2 million common shares.

      During 2004, the Company assumed $273,260 in liabilities relating to the acquisition of real estate including the acquisition of the remaining 77.3% partnership interest it did not already own in Florence. The other assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the Florence acquisition were not material.

      During 2004, the Company sold a property for $4,324 and received as a part of the consideration a note receivable of $3,488.

      In 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company contributed properties (along with non-recourse mortgage notes of $97,641, $0 and $0, respectively) to joint venture entities for capital contributions of $13,718, $11,649 and $643, respectively. In addition, the Company issued mortgage notes receivable of $45,800 relating to these contributions.

(1)  All periods have been adjusted to reflect the impact of properties sold during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and properties classified as held for sale which are reflected in discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

      In the fourth quarter of 2004, a property which had previously been classified as held for sale was reclassified as held for investment. As a result, a full year of depreciation and amortization expense of $1,953 was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2004, impairment charges of $2,671 for properties and a $2,884 write-off relating to a tenant bankruptcy occurred.

      The sum of the quarterly income per common share amounts may not equal the full year amounts primarily because the computations of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each quarter and the full year are made independently.

(19)     Subsequent Events

      Subsequent to December 31, 2004, the following events occurred:

      The Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase 27 properties from unrelated sellers for approximately $786,000. The Company has arranged to obtain $558,254 in non-recourse mortgages for the 27 properties plus 5 properties the Company currently owns free and clear. The Company has contracted for a rate lock on this debt at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.2%. The non-recourse mortgages will have a average maturity of eight years. The closing of the acquisition and financing is subject to standard closing conditions. The Company made a $40,500 deposit for the acquisition and a $5,583 deposit for the rate lock.

      The Company sold two properties that were held for sale for an aggregate sales price of $4,250, which resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $728.

      The Company funded an expansion of a property of $570. In connection with the expansion, the tenant exercised a lease for the expansion which provides for average annual rent of $71 and expires October 2013.

Amount Rate Maturity (Mo/Yr)



  $13,000       5.2 %     03-17
