LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

(1) The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

Lexington Realty Trust (the “Company”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns a diversified portfolio of equity and debt investments in single-tenant commercial properties and land. A majority of these properties and all land interests are subject to net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. The Company also provides investment advisory and asset management services to investors in the single-tenant area.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had ownership interests in approximately 215 consolidated real estate properties, located in 40 states. The properties in which the Company has an interest are leased to tenants in various industries, including service, technology, finance/insurance, automotive and transportation/logistics.

The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities 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 REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owner subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, which are single purpose entities, (2) an operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), in which the Company is the sole unit holder of the general partner and the sole unit holder of the limited partner that holds a majority of the limited partner interests, (3) a wholly-owned TRS, and (4) investments in joint ventures. On December 30, 2013, another operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. (“LCIF II”), was merged with and into LCIF with LCIF as the surviving entity. References to “OP Units” refer to units of limited partner interests in LCIF and LCIF II, as applicable. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an investment and lender subsidiaries are lenders under loan agreements where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases are separate and distinct legal entities. The assets and credit of a property owner subsidiary or a lender subsidiary are not available to satisfy the debt and other obligations of any other person, including any other property owner subsidiary, or lender subsidiary or any other affiliate.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (1) through voting rights or similar rights or (2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (this “Quarterly Report”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015 (“Annual Report”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. The Company evaluates loans receivable where the Company participates in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether the Company has the same risks and rewards as an owner or a joint venture partner. Where the Company concludes that such arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, the Company reflects such loan receivable as an equity investment in real estate under construction in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In these cases, no interest income is recorded on the loan receivable and the Company capitalizes interest during the construction period. In arrangements where the Company engages a developer to construct a property or provides funds to a tenant to develop a property, the Company will capitalize the funds provided to the developer/tenant and internal costs of interest and real estate taxes, if applicable, during the construction period.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, primarily relating to discontinued operations, to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and improves financial statement disclosures. Under this guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on an organization's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. The guidance requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2015. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2014 as the dispositions did not represent a strategic shift in operations. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with the guidance, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Earnings Per Share

A significant portion of the Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

(4) Property Dispositions, Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company disposed of its interest in an office property to an unrelated third party for a gross disposition price of $4,950, which was held for sale at December 31, 2014, and conveyed two office properties, along with their escrow deposits, in satisfaction of a $30,293 non-recourse secured mortgage loan. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company disposed of a vacant retail property, with a zero basis, upon the expiration of the related ground lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company disposed of its interest in one vacant retail property to an unrelated third party for a gross disposition price of $350. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate gains on sales of properties of $1,725. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate net gains on debt satisfaction of $10,466 relating to disposed properties. The results of operations for properties disposed of in 2015, that were not classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014, are included within continuing operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with recent guidance issued by the FASB. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale.

The following presents the operating results for the properties sold for the applicable periods:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Total gross revenues	$	163	$	9,275
Pre-tax income, including gains on sales	$	12,282	$	178

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale or transfer of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized $2,309 of impairment charges in discontinued operations relating to real estate assets that were disposed of below their carrying value or classified as held for sale.

In addition, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,139 and $16,400 in continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company determined that the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon the revised estimated holding periods of certain assets were below the current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of the properties to their estimated then fair values of $475 and $5,574, respectively. The property impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014 is for an office property in Rochester, New York, which is encumbered by a $17,234 non-recourse secured mortgage loan as of March 31, 2015.

(5) Loans Receivable

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's loans receivable were comprised primarily of first and second mortgage loans and mezzanine loans on real estate.

The following is a summary of our loans receivable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	Loan carrying-value(1)
Loan		3/31/2015		12/31/2014		Interest Rate		Maturity Date
Westmont, IL(2)		$	12,221	$	12,152	6.45	%	10/2015
Southfield, MI(3)		3,310		3,296		4.55	%	02/2015
Austin, TX		2,914		2,800		16.00	%	10/2018
Kennewick, WA		85,314		85,254		9.00	%	05/2022
Other		2,068		2,133		8.00	%	2021-2022
		$	105,827	$	105,635

(1) Loan carrying value includes accrued interest and is net of origination costs and loan losses, if any.

(2) Borrowers are in default and the Company commenced foreclosure proceedings. The tenant at the office property constituting the collateral terminated its lease. The Company recognized an impairment of $13,939 during 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $425 of interest income relating to the impaired loan, respectively, and the loan had an average recorded investment value of $12,510 and $12,561, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the impaired loan receivable had a contractual unpaid balance of $29,455.

(3) The Company recorded a $2,500 loan loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 as the Company determined it was probable that it would not collect the amount owed at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $14 of interest income relating to the impaired loan and the loan had an average recorded investment of $3,303. At March 31, 2015, the impaired loan receivable had a contractual unpaid balance of $6,083. See note 15.

The Company had two types of financing receivables: loans receivable and a capitalized financing lease. The Company determined that its financing receivables operate within one portfolio segment as they are within the same industry and use the same impairment methodology. The Company's loans receivable are secured by commercial real estate assets and the capitalized financing lease, for a commercial office property located in Greenville, South Carolina, was sold in December 2014. In addition, the Company assesses all financing receivables for impairment, when warranted, based on an individual analysis of each receivable.

The Company's financing receivables operate within one class of financing receivables as these assets (1) are collateralized by commercial real estate and (2) similar metrics are used to monitor the risk and performance of these assets. The Company's management uses credit quality indicators to monitor financing receivables such as quality of collateral, the underlying tenant's credit rating and collection experience. As of March 31, 2015, the financing receivables were performing as anticipated and there were no significant delinquent amounts outstanding, other than as disclosed above.

(6) Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present the Company's assets and liabilities from continuing operations measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

Interest rate swap liabilities	$	(749	)	$	—	$	(749	)	$	—

*Represents a non-recurring fair value measurement.

The table below sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

	As of March 31, 2015				As of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Assets
Loans Receivable (Level 3)	$	105,827	$	104,599	$	105,635	$	105,061
Liabilities
Debt (Level 3)	$	2,141,343	$	2,148,262	$	2,092,675	$	2,091,364

The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swaps utilizes Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative to the overall fair value of the interest rate swaps was not significant. As a result, the interest rate swaps have been classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets, including non-consolidated real estate assets, by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as broker opinions of value, recent sales data for similar assets or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company underestimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or overestimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

March 31, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

The Company estimates the fair values of its loans receivable by using an estimated discounted cash flow analysis and/or the estimated value of the underlying collateral using Level 3 inputs consisting of scheduled cash flows and discount rate estimates to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by using a discounted cash flow analysis using Level 3 inputs, based upon estimates of market interest rates.

Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

(7) Investment in and Advances to Non-Consolidated Entities

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had ownership interests ranging from 15% to 40% in certain non-consolidated entities, which primarily own single-tenant net-leased assets. The acquisition of these assets were partially funded through non-recourse mortgage debt with an aggregate balance of $61,735 at March 31, 2015 (the Company's proportionate share was $14,152) with rates ranging from 3.7% to 5.2%.

In November 2014, the Company formed a joint venture to construct a private school in Houston, Texas. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a 25% interest in the joint venture. The anticipated total construction cost is $86,491. The Company may provide construction financing to the joint venture up to $56,686. Upon completion, the property will be net leased for a 20-year term.

In August 2013, the Company invested $5,000 in a joint venture, which acquired the fee interest and the related office building improvements of a property in Baltimore, Maryland. Beginning in October 2015, the Company has the right to require the redemption of its interest in the joint venture in exchange for a distribution to the Company of the fee interest, which is leased for a 99-year term to the joint venture.

(8) Debt

The Company, through property owner subsidiaries, had outstanding non-recourse secured mortgages and notes payable of $901,328 and $945,216 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest rates, including imputed rates on mortgages and notes payable, ranged from 2.2% to 8.5% at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the mortgages and notes payables mature between 2015 and 2028 as of March 31, 2015. The weighted-average interest rate was 5.0% and 5.2% at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company had the following senior notes outstanding as of March 31, 2015:

Issue Date	Face Amount		Interest Rate		Maturity Date	Issue Price

June 2013	250,000		4.25	%	June 2023	99.026	%
	$	500,000

Each series of the senior notes is unsecured and pays interest semi-annually in arrears. The Company may redeem the notes at its option at any time prior to maturity in whole or in part by paying the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus a premium.

The Company has a $400,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as agent. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in February 2017 but can be extended until February 2018 at the

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants contained in its corporate level debt agreements at March 31, 2015.

During 2010, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes due 2030. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve its REIT status. The notes have a current conversion rate of 151.5965 common shares per one thousand principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $6.60 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including increases in the Company's dividend rate above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at the Company's election. The notes are convertible prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning in January 2029 and also upon the occurrence of specified events.

(9) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not incur any ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company has designated the interest-rate swap agreements with its counterparties as cash flow hedges of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate on $505,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate unsecured term loans. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings as interest becomes receivable or payable.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the term loans. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $4,665 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Swaps	10	$505,000

(10) Concentration of Risk

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

(11) Equity

Shareholders' Equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 627,247 and 564,501 common shares, respectively, under its direct share purchase plan, which includes its dividend reinvestment plan, raising net proceeds of $6,685 and $5,416, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted to certain executive officers performance-based shares, which vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return growth after a three-year measurement period relative to an index (321,018 shares) and its peers (321,011 shares). Dividends will not be paid on these grants until earned. Once the performance criteria are met and the actual number of shares earned is determined, the shares vest immediately. The fair value of the grants was determined at the grant date using a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation model for a fair value price of $6.66 per share for 321,011 shares and $6.86 per share for 321,018 shares. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 170,650 common shares to certain employees with a grant date fair value of $1,916. The common shares vest ratably over a three-year service period. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for all grants. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 14,000 fully vested common shares to the non-management members of the Company's Board of Trustees with a grant date fair value of $157 and $142, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represented $(3,692) and $404, respectively, of unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net.

Balance December 31, 2014	$	404
Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications	(5,468		)
Amounts of loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense	1,372
Balance March 31, 2015	$	(3,692	)

Noncontrolling Interests. In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable at the holder's option for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, in connection with the merger of LCIF II with and into LCIF, former LCIF II partners representing 170,193 OP units elected or were deemed to elect to receive $1,962 in aggregate cash for such OP units. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, 2,605 common shares were issued by the Company, in connection with OP unit redemptions, for an aggregate value of $13.

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share/unit and per share/unit data)

As of March 31, 2015, there were approximately 3,422,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreements. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference.

(12) Related Party Transactions

There were no related party transactions other than those disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere and previously disclosed, the Company has the following commitments and contingencies.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases, including its proportionate share for leases for non-consolidated entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. During 2014, the Company commenced the expansion of the Byhalia, Mississippi property for an estimated cost of $15,300. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee to tenants the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had two outstanding guarantees for (1) the completion of the base building improvements and the payment of a related tenant improvement allowance for an office property in Orlando, Florida, for which the unfunded amounts were estimated to be $1,384 and (2) the full payment of the base building improvement, tenant improvement allowance and lease commissions for an office property in Herndon, Virginia, for which the unfunded amounts were estimated to be $138.

From time to time, the Company is directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

(14) Supplemental Disclosure of Statement of Cash Flow Information

In addition to disclosures discussed elsewhere, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $18,671 and $23,198, respectively, for interest and $338 and $509, respectively, for income taxes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

When we use the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we mean Lexington Realty Trust and all entities owned by us, including non-consolidated entities, except where it is clear that the term means only the parent company. References herein to ‘‘this Quarterly Report” are to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and significant factors that could affect our prospective financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read together with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 26, 2015, which we refer to as our Annual Report. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance.

Forward-Looking Statements. This Quarterly Report, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “may,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “will likely result” or similar expressions. Readers should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements. In particular, among the factors that could cause actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from current expectations, strategies or plans include, among others, any risks discussed below in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and under the headings “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report and other periodic reports filed with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized.

Overview

General. We are a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns a diversified portfolio of equity and debt investments in single-tenant properties and land. A majority of these properties and all land interests are subject to net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. We also provide investment advisory and asset management services to investors in the single-tenant area.

As of March 31, 2015, we had ownership interests in approximately 215 consolidated real estate properties, located in 40 states and containing an aggregate of approximately 41.8 million square feet of space, approximately 96.7% of which was leased. The properties in which we have an interest are leased to tenants in various industries, including service, technology, finance/insurance, automotive and transportation/logistics.

Our revenues and cash flows are generated predominantly from property rent receipts. As a result, growth in revenues and cash flows is directly correlated to our ability to (1) acquire income producing real estate investments and (2) re-lease properties that are vacant, or may become vacant, at favorable rental rates.

Our current business strategy is focused on enhancing our cash flow growth and stability, growing our portfolio with attractive long-term leased investments, reducing lease rollover risk and maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet to allow us to act on opportunities as they arise.

Leasing Activity. Re-leasing properties that are currently vacant or as leases expire at favorable effective rates is one of our primary areas of focus for asset management. We continue to manage down our shorter-term leases and extend our weighted-average lease term, which was approximately 12.4 years at March 31, 2015, compared to approximately 11.1 years at March 31, 2014 on a cash basis.

23

During the first quarter of 2015, we entered into 12 new leases and lease extensions encompassing 0.9 million square feet. The average U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, base rent on these extended leases was $9.94 per square foot compared to the average GAAP base rent on these leases before extension of $9.88 per square foot. The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions was $36.01 per square foot for new leases and $3.98 square foot for extended leases. We expect renewal rents to continue to decline through the end of 2015. However, after 2015, we expect the impact of such lower renewal rents to be mitigated by our capital recycling strategy and annual or periodic rent increases under our long-term leases.

FirstQuarter2015Transaction Summary.

The following summarizes our significant transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Investments.

• Committed to acquire, upon completion, a newly built industrial property in Detroit, Michigan for $29.7 million, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016.

• Acquired five properties for an aggregate purchase price of $197.3 million.

Dispositions.

• Disposed of our interests in three office properties to unrelated third parties for an aggregate gross disposition price of approximately $35.2 million.

Debt.

• Retired an aggregate $113.6 million of non-recourse mortgage debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.6%.

• Obtained $80.8 million of long-term non-recourse mortgage debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.7% and a weighted-average term of approximately 12 years.

Acquisition and Development Activity.

Our acquisition and development activity for the past several years has consisted primarily of build-to-suit transactions whereby we (1) hire a developer, or provide funding to a tenant, to develop a property, or (2) provide capital to developers and commit to purchase the property upon completion. However, none of these transactions are done on a speculative basis without a committed tenant.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we completed the following acquisitions, each of which is subject to a lease having a term in excess of ten years, which we refer to as an LTL:

Location	Property Type	Square Feet (000's)	Capitalized Cost (millions)		Date Acquired	Approximate Lease Term (Years)
Auburn Hills, MI	LTL - Office	278	$	40.0	March 2015	14

We can give no assurances that any unconsummated transactions described in this Quarterly Report will be consummated or, if consummated, will perform to our expectations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Our accounting policies are discussed under (1) Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report, (2) note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report and (3) note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows. We believe that cash flows from operations will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our 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, we anticipate that cash on hand, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility, capital recycling proceeds, issuances of equity, mortgage proceeds and other debt, as well as other available alternatives, will provide the necessary capital required by our business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we obtained $80.8 million of long-term financing with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 3.7%.

At March 31, 2015, we had $29.2 million and $129.9 million of property specific non-recourse mortgage debt due in 2015 and 2016, respectively. We believe we have sufficient sources of liquidity at March 31, 2015 to meet these obligations through cash on hand ($54.8 million), borrowing capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility ($294.9 million), which expires in 2017, but can be extended by us to 2018, and future cash flows from operations.

25

The mortgages encumbering the properties in which we have an interest are generally non-recourse to us, such that in situations where we believe it is beneficial to satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the property to the lender, including through a foreclosure, we may do so. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, two office properties in Issaquah, Washington were transferred by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of the $30.3 million outstanding non-recourse mortgage loan.

Cash flows from operations as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows decreased to $57.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $59.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily related to the impact of properties sales and vacancies at certain properties, offset in part by cash flows generated from acquired proprties. The underlying drivers that impact working capital, and therefore cash flows from operations, are the timing of collection of rents, including reimbursements from tenants, the collection of advisory fees, payment of interest on mortgage debt and payment of operating and general and administrative costs. We believe the net-lease structure of the leases encumbering a majority of the properties in which we have an interest mitigates the risks of the timing of cash flows from operations since the payment and timing of operating costs related to the properties are generally borne directly by the tenant. Collection and timing of tenant rents is closely monitored by management as part of our cash management program. The cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, were impacted by yield maintenance penalties and other costs incurred aggregating $2.7 million relating to the satisfaction of non-recourse, secured mortgage notes.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $233.1 million and $112.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related primarily to acquisitions of real estate and investments in real estate under construction, capital expenditures and loans receivable. Cash provided by investing activities related primarily to proceeds from the sale of properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $38.9 million and $21.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities related primarily to borrowings under our corporate level debt instruments, proceeds of mortgages and notes payable and the net proceeds from the issuance of common shares. Cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to dividend and distribution payments and repayment of debt obligations.

Dividends. Dividends paid to our common and preferred shareholders increased to $41.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $39.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase resulted from an increase in our quarterly common share dividend paid in 2015 to $0.17 per common share per quarter compared to $0.165 per common share per quarter paid in 2014 and an increase in the number of our outstanding common shares.

UPREIT Structure. As of March 31, 2015, 3.4 million units of limited partner interest, or OP units, in our operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. or LCIF, were outstanding not including OP units held by us. Assuming all outstanding OP units not held by us were redeemed on such date, the estimated fair value of the OP units was $37.9 million based on the closing price of $9.83 per common share on March 31, 2015 and a redemption factor of approximately 1.13 common shares per OP unit.

Financings. The following senior notes were outstanding as of March 31, 2015:

Issue Date	Face Amount		Interest Rate		Maturity Date	Issue Price
May 2014	$	250,000	4.40	%	June 2024	99.883	%
June 2013	250,000		4.25	%	June 2023	99.026	%
	$	500,000

The senior notes are unsecured and pay interest semi-annually in arrears. We may redeem the notes at our option at any time prior to maturity in whole or in part by paying the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus a premium.

We have a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, as agent. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in February 2017, but can be extended until February 2018 at our option. The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.95% to 1.725% (1.15% as of March 31, 2015). At March 31, 2015, the unsecured revolving credit facility had $93.0 million outstanding, outstanding letters of credit of $12.1 million and availability of $294.9 million, subject to covenant compliance.

26

We also have a five-year $250.0 million unsecured term loan facility from KeyBank, as agent. The unsecured term loan matures in February 2018, may be prepaid without penalty and requires regular payments of interest only at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.10% to 2.10% (1.35% as of March 31, 2015). As of March 31, 2015, we have entered into aggregate interest-rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.09% through February 2018 on the $250.0 million outstanding.

In addition, we also have a $255.0 million unsecured term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent. The term loan matures in January 2019 and requires regular payments of interest only at interest rates that range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% (1.75% as of March 31, 2015). We may prepay outstanding borrowings under the term loan at a premium through January 12, 2016 and at par thereafter. As of March 31, 2015, we have entered into aggregate interest-rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.42% through January 2019 on the $255.0 million outstanding.

As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants contained in our corporate level debt agreements.

Results of Operations

Three months endedMarch 31, 2015compared with three months endedMarch 31, 2014. The increase in total gross revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $4.5 million was primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue of $3.7 million and an increase in tenant reimbursements of $0.8 million. Rental revenue increased primarily due to 2015 and 2014 property acquisitions of $4.8 million, offset in part by 2015 property sales of $1.1 million. The increase in tenant reimbursements relates to an increase in reimbursable property operating costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.3 million primarily due to newly acquired properties.

The increase in property operating expenses of $1.0 million was primarily due to an increase in vacancy at certain properties that were previously 100% net-leased, the net impact of management of certain properties being transferred between the tenant and us and an increase in pursuit costs.

Non-operating income decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to a decrease in interest recognized on loan investments due to borrower defaults and loan repayments, coupled with the sale of a property in 2014 subject to a capital lease.

The decrease in interest and amortization expense of $0.8 million is primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average interest rate of our borrowings.

The increase in debt satisfaction gains, net, of $13.7 million was primarily due to the timing of debt retirements.

The impairment charge of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 relates to the impairment of a vacant retail property in Franklin, Ohio. The impairment charge of $16.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 relates to the impairment of an office property in Rochester, New York.

Discontinued operations represent properties sold during 2014 or held for sale as of December 31, 2014. The increase in total income from discontinued operations of $1.5 million was primarily due to an increase in gains on sales of properties of $1.6 million and a decrease in impairment charges of $2.3 million, offset by a decrease in income from discontinued operations of $2.4 million.

The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders of $32.7 million was primarily due to the items discussed above.

Any increase in net income in future periods will be closely tied to the level of acquisitions made by us and leasing activity. Without acquisitions and favorable leasing activity, the sources of growth in net income are limited to index-adjusted rents (such as the consumer price index), reduced interest expense on amortizing mortgages and debt refinancings and by controlling other variable overhead costs. However, there are many factors beyond management's control that could offset these items including, without limitation, increased interest rates, decreased occupancy rates, tenant monetary defaults, delayed acquisitions and the other risks described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Same-Store Results

Same-store results include all consolidated properties except properties acquired and/or sold in 2015 and 2014. Our historical same-store occupancy was 96.4% at March 31, 2015 compared to 98.2% at March 31, 2014. The following presents our consolidated same-store net operating income, or NOI, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 ($000):

	2015			2014
Total base rent	$	89,431		$	92,538
Tenant reimbursements	8,358			7,638
Property operating expenses	(15,983		)	(15,263		)
Same-store NOI	$	81,806		$	84,913

Our same-store NOI decreased from 2014 to 2015 by 3.7%. This was primarily due to a decrease in base rent resulting from vacancies at certain properties.

Funds From Operations

We believe that Funds from Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as “net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.” NAREIT clarified its computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges on depreciable real estate owned directly or indirectly. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

We present FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - basic and FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - diluted. We also present Company FFO which adjusts FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - diluted for certain items which we believe are not indicative of the operating results of our real estate portfolio. We believe this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by security analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate funds from operations in a similar fashion, FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - diluted and Company FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders - diluted and Company FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2015, we had investments in various real estate entities with varying structures. The real estate investments owned by these entities are generally financed with non-recourse debt. Non-recourse debt is generally defined as debt whereby the lenders' sole recourse with respect to borrower defaults is limited to the value of the assets collateralized by the debt. The lender generally does not have recourse against any other assets owned by the borrower or any of the members or partners of the borrower, except for certain specified exceptions listed in the particular loan documents. These exceptions generally relate to "bad boy" acts, including fraud and breaches of material representations. We have guaranteed such obligations for certain of our non-consolidated entities.

In addition, we had $12.1 million in outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2015.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt not subject to interest rate swaps and our fixed-rate debt. Our consolidated variable rate indebtedness was $93.0 million and $42.0 million at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which represented 4.3% and 2.0%, respectively, of our consolidated indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our variable-rate indebtedness had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.3% and 1.6%, respectively. Had the weighted-average interest rate been 100 basis points higher, our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased by $3 thousand and $81 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, our consolidated fixed-rate debt was $2.1 billion for each period, which represented 95.7% and 98.0%, respectively, of our total long-term indebtedness.

For certain of our financial instruments, fair values are not readily available since there are no active trading markets as characterized by current exchanges between willing parties. Accordingly, we derive or estimate fair values using various valuation techniques, such as computing the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. However, the determination of estimated cash flows may be subjective and imprecise. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. The following fair value was determined using the interest rates that we believe our outstanding fixed-rate debt would warrant as of March 31, 2015 and are indicative of the interest rate environment as of March 31, 2015, and do not take into consideration the effects of subsequent interest rate fluctuations. Accordingly, we estimate that the fair value of our fixed-rate debt was $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2015.

Our interest rate risk objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates through the use of fixed-rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements. We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or caps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2015, we had 10 interest rate swap agreements (see note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls.Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

A significant portion of the Company's non-vested share-based payment awards are considered participating securities and as such, the Company is required to use the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class computation method, net losses are not allocated to participating securities unless the holder of the security has a contractual obligation to share in the losses. The non-vested share-based payment awards are not allocated losses as the awards do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

For per common share amounts, all incremental shares are considered anti-dilutive for periods that have a loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders. In addition, other common share equivalents may be anti-dilutive in certain periods.

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation

Lexington Realty Trust (the “Company”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns a diversified portfolio of equity and debt investments in single-tenant commercial properties and land. A majority of these properties and all land interests are subject to net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. The Company also provides investment advisory and asset management services to investors in the single-tenant area.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had ownership interests in approximately 215 consolidated real estate properties, located in 40 states. The properties in which the Company has an interest are leased to tenants in various industries, including service, technology, finance/insurance, automotive and transportation/logistics.

The Company believes it has qualified as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. The Company is permitted to participate in certain activities 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 REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) under the Code. As such, the TRS are subject to federal income taxes on the income from these activities.

The Company conducts its operations either directly or indirectly through (1) property owner subsidiaries and lender subsidiaries, which are single purpose entities, (2) an operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), in which the Company is the sole unit holder of the general partner and the sole unit holder of the limited partner that holds a majority of the limited partner interests, (3) a wholly-owned TRS, and (4) investments in joint ventures. On December 30, 2013, another operating partnership, Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. (“LCIF II”), was merged with and into LCIF with LCIF as the surviving entity. References to “OP Units” refer to units of limited partner interests in LCIF and LCIF II, as applicable. Property owner subsidiaries are landlords under leases for properties in which the Company has an interest and/or borrowers under loan agreements secured by properties in which the Company has an investment and lender subsidiaries are lenders under loan agreements where the Company made an investment in a loan asset, but in all cases are separate and distinct legal entities. The assets and credit of a property owner subsidiary or a lender subsidiary are not available to satisfy the debt and other obligations of any other person, including any other property owner subsidiary, or lender subsidiary or any other affiliate.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (1) through voting rights or similar rights or (2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (this “Quarterly Report”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015 (“Annual Report”).

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. The Company evaluates loans receivable where the Company participates in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether the Company has the same risks and rewards as an owner or a joint venture partner. Where the Company concludes that such arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, the Company reflects such loan receivable as an equity investment in real estate under construction in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In these cases, no interest income is recorded on the loan receivable and the Company capitalizes interest during the construction period. In arrangements where the Company engages a developer to construct a property or provides funds to a tenant to develop a property, the Company will capitalize the funds provided to the developer/tenant and internal costs of interest and real estate taxes, if applicable, during the construction period.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, primarily relating to discontinued operations, to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and improves financial statement disclosures. Under this guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on an organization's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. The guidance requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2015. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2014 as the dispositions did not represent a strategic shift in operations. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with the guidance, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Risk

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk

The Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through the geographic diversification of its properties, tenant industry diversification, avoidance of dependency on a single asset and the creditworthiness of its tenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no single tenant represented greater than 10% of rental revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances at certain institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

Equity

Shareholders' Equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 627,247 and 564,501 common shares, respectively, under its direct share purchase plan, which includes its dividend reinvestment plan, raising net proceeds of $6,685 and $5,416, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted to certain executive officers performance-based shares, which vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return growth after a three-year measurement period relative to an index (321,018 shares) and its peers (321,011 shares). Dividends will not be paid on these grants until earned. Once the performance criteria are met and the actual number of shares earned is determined, the shares vest immediately. The fair value of the grants was determined at the grant date using a multifactor Monte Carlo simulation model for a fair value price of $6.66 per share for 321,011 shares and $6.86 per share for 321,018 shares. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 170,650 common shares to certain employees with a grant date fair value of $1,916. The common shares vest ratably over a three-year service period. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for all grants. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 14,000 fully vested common shares to the non-management members of the Company's Board of Trustees with a grant date fair value of $157 and $142, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 represented $(3,692) and $404, respectively, of unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net.

Noncontrolling Interests. In conjunction with several of the Company's acquisitions in prior years, sellers were issued OP units as a form of consideration. All OP units, other than OP units owned by the Company, are redeemable for common shares at certain times, at the option of the holders, and are generally not otherwise mandatorily redeemable by the Company. The OP units are classified as a component of permanent equity as the Company has determined that the OP units are not redeemable securities as defined by GAAP. Each OP unit is currently redeemable at the holder's option for approximately 1.13 common shares, subject to future adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, in connection with the merger of LCIF II with and into LCIF, former LCIF II partners representing 170,193 OP units elected or were deemed to elect to receive $1,962 in aggregate cash for such OP units. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, 2,605 common shares were issued by the Company, in connection with OP unit redemptions, for an aggregate value of $13.

As of March 31, 2015, there were approximately 3,422,000 OP units outstanding other than OP units owned by the Company. All OP units receive distributions in accordance with their respective partnership agreements. To the extent that the Company's dividend per common share is less than the stated distribution per OP unit per the applicable partnership agreement, the distributions per OP unit are reduced by the percentage reduction in the Company's dividend per common share. No OP units have a liquidation preference.

The following discloses the effects of changes in the Company's ownership interests in its noncontrolling interests:

Receivables [Abstract]

Loans Receivable

Loans Receivable

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company's loans receivable were comprised primarily of first and second mortgage loans and mezzanine loans on real estate.

The following is a summary of our loans receivable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	Loan carrying-value(1)
Loan		3/31/2015		12/31/2014		Interest Rate		Maturity Date
Westmont, IL(2)		$	12,221	$	12,152	6.45	%	10/2015
Southfield, MI(3)		3,310		3,296		4.55	%	02/2015
Austin, TX		2,914		2,800		16.00	%	10/2018
Kennewick, WA		85,314		85,254		9.00	%	05/2022
Other		2,068		2,133		8.00	%	2021-2022
		$	105,827	$	105,635

(1) Loan carrying value includes accrued interest and is net of origination costs and loan losses, if any.

(2) Borrowers are in default and the Company commenced foreclosure proceedings. The tenant at the office property constituting the collateral terminated its lease. The Company recognized an impairment of $13,939 during 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $425 of interest income relating to the impaired loan, respectively, and the loan had an average recorded investment value of $12,510 and $12,561, respectively. At March 31, 2015, the impaired loan receivable had a contractual unpaid balance of $29,455.

(3) The Company recorded a $2,500 loan loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 as the Company determined it was probable that it would not collect the amount owed at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $14 of interest income relating to the impaired loan and the loan had an average recorded investment of $3,303. At March 31, 2015, the impaired loan receivable had a contractual unpaid balance of $6,083. See note 15.

The Company had two types of financing receivables: loans receivable and a capitalized financing lease. The Company determined that its financing receivables operate within one portfolio segment as they are within the same industry and use the same impairment methodology. The Company's loans receivable are secured by commercial real estate assets and the capitalized financing lease, for a commercial office property located in Greenville, South Carolina, was sold in December 2014. In addition, the Company assesses all financing receivables for impairment, when warranted, based on an individual analysis of each receivable.

The Company's financing receivables operate within one class of financing receivables as these assets (1) are collateralized by commercial real estate and (2) similar metrics are used to monitor the risk and performance of these assets. The Company's management uses credit quality indicators to monitor financing receivables such as quality of collateral, the underlying tenant's credit rating and collection experience. As of March 31, 2015, the financing receivables were performing as anticipated and there were no significant delinquent amounts outstanding, other than as disclosed above.

Property Dispositions, Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Impairment

Property Dispositions, Discontinued Operations and Real Estate Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company disposed of its interest in an office property to an unrelated third party for a gross disposition price of $4,950, which was held for sale at December 31, 2014, and conveyed two office properties, along with their escrow deposits, in satisfaction of a $30,293 non-recourse secured mortgage loan. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company disposed of a vacant retail property, with a zero basis, upon the expiration of the related ground lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company disposed of its interest in one vacant retail property to an unrelated third party for a gross disposition price of $350. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate gains on sales of properties of $1,725. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized aggregate net gains on debt satisfaction of $10,466 relating to disposed properties. The results of operations for properties disposed of in 2015, that were not classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014, are included within continuing operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with recent guidance issued by the FASB. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no properties classified as held for sale.

The following presents the operating results for the properties sold for the applicable periods:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014
Total gross revenues	$	163	$	9,275
Pre-tax income, including gains on sales	$	12,282	$	178

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of its real estate assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale or transfer of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset's carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized $2,309 of impairment charges in discontinued operations relating to real estate assets that were disposed of below their carrying value or classified as held for sale.

In addition, the Company recognized impairment charges of $1,139 and $16,400 in continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company determined that the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon the revised estimated holding periods of certain assets were below the current carrying values. Accordingly, the Company reduced the carrying value of the properties to their estimated then fair values of $475 and $5,574, respectively. The property impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014 is for an office property in Rochester, New York, which is encumbered by a $17,234 non-recourse secured mortgage loan as of March 31, 2015.

The Company and Financial Statement Presentation (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of presentation and consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (1) through voting rights or similar rights or (2) by means other than voting rights if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Company does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate GAAP.

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (this “Quarterly Report”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2015 (“Annual Report”).

Use of estimates

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of significant 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. The most significant estimates made include the recoverability of accounts receivable, the allocation of property purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the determination of VIEs and which entities should be consolidated, the determination of impairment of long-lived assets, loans receivable and equity method investments, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Fair value measurements

Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as amended (“Topic 820”), to determine the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments. Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs, which are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considering counterparty credit risk. The Company has formally elected to apply the portfolio exception within Topic 820 with respect to measuring counterparty risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to master netting arrangements.

Acquisition, development and construction arrangements

Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements. The Company evaluates loans receivable where the Company participates in residual profits through loan provisions or other contracts to ascertain whether the Company has the same risks and rewards as an owner or a joint venture partner. Where the Company concludes that such arrangements are more appropriately treated as an investment in real estate, the Company reflects such loan receivable as an equity investment in real estate under construction in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In these cases, no interest income is recorded on the loan receivable and the Company capitalizes interest during the construction period. In arrangements where the Company engages a developer to construct a property or provides funds to a tenant to develop a property, the Company will capitalize the funds provided to the developer/tenant and internal costs of interest and real estate taxes, if applicable, during the construction period.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in the 2014 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, primarily relating to discontinued operations, to conform to the 2015 presentation.

Recently issued accounting guidance

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and improves financial statement disclosures. Under this guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on an organization's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. The guidance requires the Company to continue to classify any property disposal or property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014 as discontinued operations prospectively. Therefore, the revenues and expenses related to these properties are presented as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2015. The Company did not classify any additional properties as discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2014 as the dispositions did not represent a strategic shift in operations. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In accordance with the guidance, all legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and early adoption is allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2016 and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants contained in its corporate level debt agreements at March 31, 2015.

During 2010, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes due 2030. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve its REIT status. The notes have a current conversion rate of 151.5965 common shares per one thousand principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $6.60 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including increases in the Company's dividend rate above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at the Company's election. The notes are convertible prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning in January 2029 and also upon the occurrence of specified events.

The table below sets forth the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

	As of March 31, 2015				As of December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

The majority of the inputs used to value the Company's interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as observable market interest rate curves; however, the credit valuation associated with the interest rate swaps utilizes Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company determined that the credit valuation adjustment relative to the overall fair value of the interest rate swaps was not significant. As a result, the interest rate swaps have been classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of its real estate assets, including non-consolidated real estate assets, by using income and market valuation techniques. The Company may estimate fair values using market information such as broker opinions of value, recent sales data for similar assets or discounted cash flow models, which primarily rely on Level 3 inputs. The cash flow models include estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows may include contractual rental revenues, projected future rental revenues and expenses and forecasted tenant improvements and lease commissions based upon market conditions determined through discussion with local real estate professionals, experience the Company has with its other owned properties in such markets and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are estimated by management based upon rates that management believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties based upon an analysis of factors such as property and tenant quality, geographical location and local supply and demand observations. To the extent the Company underestimates forecasted cash outflows (tenant improvements, lease commissions and operating costs) or overestimates forecasted cash inflows (rental revenue rates), the estimated fair value of its real estate assets could be overstated.

The Company estimates the fair values of its loans receivable by using an estimated discounted cash flow analysis and/or the estimated value of the underlying collateral using Level 3 inputs consisting of scheduled cash flows and discount rate estimates to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by using a discounted cash flow analysis using Level 3 inputs, based upon estimates of market interest rates.

Fair values cannot be determined with precision, may not be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized upon sale. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, liquidity risks and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. The Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of the instruments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives. The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the type, amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company's investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense, to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and therefore manage its cash outflows as it relates to the underlying debt instruments. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy relating to certain of its variable rate debt instruments. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company did not incur any ineffectiveness during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company has designated the interest-rate swap agreements with its counterparties as cash flow hedges of the risk of variability attributable to changes in the LIBOR swap rate on $505,000 of LIBOR-indexed variable-rate unsecured term loans. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings as interest becomes receivable or payable.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the term loans. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $4,665 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Derivative	Number of Instruments	Notional
Interest Rate Swaps	10	$505,000

The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Interest Rate Swaps	$	(5,468	)	$	(1,784	)	Interest expense	$	1,372	$	1,272

The Company's agreements with swap derivative counterparties contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on the underlying indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default of the swap derivative obligation. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not posted any collateral related to the agreements.

Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to the commitments and contingencies disclosed elsewhere and previously disclosed, the Company has the following commitments and contingencies.

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases, including its proportionate share for leases for non-consolidated entities, to fund the expansion of the underlying leased properties. During 2014, the Company commenced the expansion of the Byhalia, Mississippi property for an estimated cost of $15,300. The Company, under certain circumstances, may guarantee to tenants the completion of base building improvements and the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions on behalf of its subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had two outstanding guarantees for (1) the completion of the base building improvements and the payment of a related tenant improvement allowance for an office property in Orlando, Florida, for which the unfunded amounts were estimated to be $1,384 and (2) the full payment of the base building improvement, tenant improvement allowance and lease commissions for an office property in Herndon, Virginia, for which the unfunded amounts were estimated to be $138.

From time to time, the Company is directly and indirectly involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on currently available information, and after consultation with legal counsel, that although the outcomes of those normal course proceedings are uncertain, the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
