The Partners
Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P.:

 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P. and subsidiaries (“the Partnership”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010.  In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the accompanying financial statement schedule.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Organization and Purpose
 
Net Lease Strategic Assets Fund L.P., together with its subsidiaries, (“the Partnership”) was formed on August 10, 2007 by The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (the “MLP”), as general partner, and Inland American (Net Lease) Sub, LLC (“Inland”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc., to invest in specialty single-tenant net leased real estate in the United States. On December 31, 2008, the MLP was merged into Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) and ceased to exist for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership conducts all of its operations through property owner subsidiaries.
 
Lexington and Inland are currently entitled to a return on/of their respective investments as follows: (1) Inland, 9% on its common equity, (2) Lexington, 6.5% on its preferred equity, (3) Lexington, 9% on its common equity, (4) return of Lexington’s preferred equity, (5) return of Inland common equity, (6) return of Lexington common equity and (7) any remaining cash flow is allocated 65% to Inland and 35% to Lexington as long as Lexington is the general partner; if not, allocations are 85% to Inland and 15% to Lexington. Profits and losses are allocated using the hypothetical liquidation book value method in accordance with the Partnership’s partnership agreement. The Partnership agreement can be terminated by either partner on or after March 1, 2015.
 
Since December 20, 2007, Lexington has contributed interests in 19 properties and $15,258 in cash, as well as $3,250 on behalf of Inland, to the Partnership, and Inland has contributed $217,340 in cash to the Partnership. In addition, Lexington sold for cash interests in 24 properties and a 40% interest in a property to the Partnership.  The properties were subject to approximately $339,500 in mortgage debt, which was assumed by the Partnership. After such formation transaction, Inland and Lexington owned 85% and 15%, respectively, of the Partnership’s common equity and Lexington owned 100% of the Partnership’s preferred equity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The financial statements reflect the accounts of the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Partnership consolidates its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Entities which the Partnership does not control and entities which are VIEs in which the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under appropriate U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
 
The Partnership implemented new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010 regarding VIEs. In accordance with the guidance, the Partnership re-evaluated all of its equity and all other potential variable interests to determine if they are VIEs. For each of these investments, the Partnership has evaluated (1) the sufficiency of the entities’ equity investments at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) that as a group the holders of the equity investments at risk have (a) the power through voting rights or similar rights to direct the entities’ activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their obligations are not protected directly or indirectly and (c) the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity and their rights are not capped and (3) the voting rights of these investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected returns of the entity, or both, and that substantially all of the entities’ activities do not involve or are not conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.
 
If an investment is determined to be a VIE, the Partnership then performs an analysis to determine if the Partnership is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. GAAP requires a VIE to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party that has a controlling financial interest in an entity. In order for a party to have a controlling financial interest in an entity it must have (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of an entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The implementation of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Use of Estimates. Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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, 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 and equity method investments, valuation and impairment of assets held by equity method investees and the useful lives of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Purchase Accounting and Acquisition of Real Estate. The fair value of the real estate acquired, which includes the impact of fair value adjustments for assumed mortgage debt related to property acquisitions, is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Beginning in 2009, acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
 
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land, building and improvements and fixtures and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land and building and improvements based on management’s determination of relative fair values of these assets. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions.
 
In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market lease values are recorded based on the difference between the current in-place lease rent and management’s estimate of current market rents. Below-market lease intangibles are recorded as part of deferred revenue and amortized into rental revenue over the non-cancelable periods and bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. Above-market leases are recorded as part of intangible assets and amortized as a direct charge against rental revenue over the non-cancelable portion of the respective leases.
 
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationship values, is measured by the excess of (1) the purchase price paid for a property over (2) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant, determined as set forth above. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods and any bargain renewal periods of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationships are amortized to expense over the applicable lease term plus expected renewal periods.

Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic useful lives of the properties. The Partnership generally depreciates buildings and building improvements over 40 years and land estates and tenant improvements over the anticipated lease terms.
 
Revenue Recognition. The Partnership recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the time pattern in which the use benefit is derived from the leased property. Renewal options in leases with rental terms that are lower than those in the primary term are excluded from the calculation of straight-line rent if the renewals are not reasonably assured. In those instances in which the Partnership funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Partnership, revenue recognition will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. When the Partnership determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Partnership commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin. The lease incentive is recorded as a deferred expense and amortized as a reduction of revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. The Partnership recognizes lease termination payments as a component of rental revenue in the period received, provided there are no further Partnership obligations under the lease; otherwise, the lease termination payment is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining obligation period. All above-market lease assets, below-market lease liabilities and deferred rent assets or liabilities for terminated leases are charged against or credited to rental revenue in the same period as the termination payment is recognized. All other capitalized lease costs and lease intangibles are accelerated via amortization expense through the date of termination.
 
Fair Value Measurements. The Partnership follows the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("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. The provisions of the guidance were effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, except for those relating to nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which were deferred for one additional year, and a scope exception for purposes of fair value measurements affecting lease classification or measurement. 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 that 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 Partnership 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, where applicable, in the Partnership’s assessment of fair value.
 
Impairment of Real Estate. The Partnership evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible real estate assets held for investment for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates its carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the asset. If such cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results.
 
Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities. The Partnership accounts for its investments in 50% or less owned entities under the equity method, unless consolidation is required. If the Partnership’s investment in the entity is insignificant and the Partnership has no influence over the control of the entity then the entity is accounted for under the cost method.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments. On a quarterly basis, the Partnership assesses whether there are indicators that the value of its equity method investment may be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only if the Partnership determines that a decline in the value of the investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is highly subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about the Partnership’s intent and ability to recover its investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment, including the level of the Partnership’s involvement therein, among other factors. To the extent an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.
 
Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, an owner of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities may include government fines and penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances. Although the tenants of properties in which the Partnership has an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental damage and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of the tenant of such premises to satisfy any obligations with respect to such environmental liability, one of the Partnership’s property owner subsidiaries may be required to satisfy any such obligations, should they exist. In addition, the property owner subsidiary, as the owner of such properties, may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the provisions of any lease. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership was not aware of any environmental matter relating to any of its assets that would have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
Accounts Receivable. The Partnership continuously monitors collections from its tenants and would make a provision for estimated losses based upon historical experience and any specific tenant collection issues that the Partnership has identified. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership’s allowance for doubtful accounts was not significant.
 
Income Taxes.  For income tax purposes, the Partnership is treated as a partnership and all items of income and loss are attributable to the individual partner tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in these consolidated financial statements. However, the Partnership is required to pay certain state and local entity level taxes which are expensed as incurred.
 
The Partnership implemented FASB ASC Topic 740 (“Topic 740”), Income Taxes, as of January 1, 2009. Topic 740 requires a company to recognize the tax benefits of certain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by the revenue authorities. The tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management concluded as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 that the Partnership did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Partnership’s tax returns for the prior three years are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state revenue authorities. The Partnership’s policy is to report any interest and penalties as a component of general and administrative expenses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash is comprised primarily of cash balances held by lenders.
 
Deferred Expenses. Deferred expenses consist primarily of debt and leasing costs. Debt costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method, over the terms of the debt instruments and leasing costs are amortized over the term of the related lease.
 
Preferred Equity. The Partnership has classified Lexington’s preferred equity as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet in accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release No. 268 Presentation in Financial Statements of Redeemable Preferred Stocks (“ASR 268”).  The preferred equity can be redeemed (1) upon sale of certain assets, (2) in liquidation of the Partnership, or (3) in the 10th year of the Partnership by the Partnership or by Lexington.  Lexington is entitled to a redemption amount equal to the total of preferred equity contributions plus the cumulative 6.5% preferred return that has not been distributed.   As of December 31, 2010, Lexington has (1) made preferred equity contributions of $162,487, (2) received $10,783 as a preferred return on its preferred equity and (3) received an increase in its preferred equity since inception of $32,192. This preferred equity is carried at redemption value, which approximates estimated fair value.
 
Segment Reporting.  The Partnership operates generally in one industry segment, investment in net-leased real properties.
 
Reclassifications. Certain amounts included in prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance. In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and additional disclosures about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have an impact on the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The mortgage notes are primarily non-recourse to the Partnership except for certain environmental and “bad boy” provisions. Each property in which NLS has an interest is held by a special purpose entity which is legally distinct and separate despite being consolidated for financial statement purposes or disregarded for income tax purposes. The special purpose entity’s ability to make a scheduled balloon payment will depend on (i) the level of cash flow within the entity, (ii) the entity’s ability to refinance the related mortgage debt or sell the property or (iii) if the Partnership’s partners are willing to contribute funds to the entity to satisfy the mortgage.
 
(6)
Management Agreement
 
The Partnership entered into a management agreement with LRA, whereby LRA will receive (1) a partnership management fee of 0.375% of the equity capital, as defined, (2) a property management fee of up to 3.0% of actual gross revenues from certain assets for which the landlord is obligated to provide property management services (contingent upon the recoverability under the applicable lease), and (3) an acquisition fee of 0.5% of the gross purchase price of each acquired asset by the Partnership. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, LRA earned a management fee of $1,088, $1,044 and $879, respectively, of which $518 was payable as of December 31, 2010.

Leases
 
Lessor:
 
Minimum future rental receipts under the noncancelable portion of operating leases, assuming no new or negotiated leases, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31:
 
 
 
2011
  $ 54,787  
2012
    51,817  
2013
    49,248  
2014
    42,662  
2015
    33,882  
Thereafter
    114,213  
 
  $ 346,609  
 
The above minimum lease payments do not include reimbursements to be received from tenants for certain operating expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases.
 
Certain leases allow for the tenant to terminate the lease if the property is deemed obsolete, as defined, but must make a termination payment to the Partnership, as stipulated in the lease. In addition, certain leases provide the tenant with the right to purchase the leased property at fair market value or a stipulated price.
 
Lessee:
 
The Partnership holds leasehold interests in various properties. Generally the ground rents on these properties are either paid directly by the tenants to the fee holder or reimbursed to the Partnership as additional rent.
 
Minimum future rental payments under non-cancellable leasehold interests, excluding lease payments in the future that are based upon fair market value for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
 
Year ending December 31:
 
 
 
2011
  $ 223  
2012

2014
    273  
2015
    273  
Thereafter
    3,338  
 
  $ 4,640  
 
Rent expense for the leasehold interests was $278, $282 and $209 in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
(8)
Concentration of Risk
 
The Partnership seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification, avoiding dependency on a single property and the credit worthiness of its tenants. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, T Mobile USA, Inc., guarantor of leases at five properties, represented 11%, 11% and 13%, respectively, of total gross revenues.

Cash and cash equivalent balances exceed insurable amounts at times.  The Partnership believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.
 
(9)
Related Party Transactions
 
In addition to related party transactions discussed elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, Lexington and Inland, through affiliates, have investments in two other co-investment programs: Concord Debt Holdings, LLC and CDH CDO LLC.
 
 In August 2010, NLSAF Tampa L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, borrowed $7,614 from an affiliate of Lexington to repay its outstanding non-recourse mortgage loan. The related party note payable has an interest rate of 6.93% and matures in April 2011.
 
Included in other assets as of December 31, 2010 is approximately $21 of receivables, which are collections made by Lexington on the Partnership’s behalf net of operating expenses.
 
(10)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.  The Partnership estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
 
Mortgage Notes Payable and Note Payable—affiliate.  The Partnership determines the fair value of these instruments based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Partnership has determined that the fair value of these instruments were $278,349 and $258,717 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Partnership has applied fair value guidance in accordance with GAAP to evaluate the fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
(11)
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Partnership is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
 
Experian Information Solutions, Inc. v. Lexington Allen L.P., Lexington Allen Manager LLC and Lexington Realty Trust (United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Sherman Division – Civil Action No. 4:10cv144)
 
On March 29, 2010, Experian Information Solutions, Inc. (“Experian”) filed a complaint against Lexington Allen L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, and Lexington Realty Trust, a limited partner of the Partnership, for breach of lease agreement, fraud/fraudulent inducement, claim under Section 91.004 of the Texas Property Code (breach of lease and ability to obtain a lien on other landlord property), promissory estoppel, quantum meruit and that Lexington Allen L.P. is Lexington Reality Trust's "alter-ego," in connection with the alleged failure of Lexington Allen L.P. to fund up to $5,854 of tenant improvements. On May 5, 2010,  Lexington Allen L.P. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On May 21, 2010, Experian filed an amended complaint, adding Lexington Allen Manager LLC, the general partner of Lexington Allen L.P. and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, as a defendant, and an opposition to the motion to dismiss. On June 7, 2010, the Lexington Allen entities filed another motion to dismiss and on June 24, 2010, Experian filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. The motion to dismiss was denied and the Lexington Allen entities answered the amended complaint on October 22, 2010.
 
On October 29, 2010, Experian filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to the breach of contract claim against Lexington Allen L.P., which has been briefed by the applicable parties. A mediation on November 5, 2010 was unsuccessful. On January 24, 2010, the Lexington Allen entities filed a motion for summary judgment for all other claims against them.  On February 15, 2011, Experian filed an opposition to the motion for summary judgment. Discovery ends on March 11, 2011.

Management believes, based on currently available information and after consultation with legal counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition, but may be material to the Partnership’s operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. The Partnership has capitalized the $5,854 of tenant improvements for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP as of December 31, 2010; however, the ultimate payment of this amount is uncertain. The Partnership is unable to estimate any additional or potential loss or range of losses as it relates to this claim.
