T.

Revenues
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, total gross revenues were $98.8 million, compared with total gross revenues of $124.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

During the second quarter, Lexington reduced its overall debt by $111.4 million, including $54.1 million original principal amount of 5.45% Exchangeable Notes repurchased at an average discount of 17.6%. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, Lexington repurchased an additional $29.2 million original principal amount of these notes at a 15.0% discount, leaving $105.2 million currently outstanding. At June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $3.8 billion in total assets, including $75.0 million of cash and restricted cash and $2.2 billion in debt outstanding. As of June 30, 2009, the weighted-average interest rate on the Company's debt was 5.64% with a weighted-average maturity of 5.8 years. Approximately 91.0% of Lexington's debt is subject to fixed interest rates.
In addition, Lexington repurchased and retired 503,100 of its Series C preferred shares in exchange for 2,955,368 common shares. This transaction reduced the liquidation preference of the Company's Series C preferred shares by $25.2 million and lowered Lexington's annual fixed charges by $1.6 million.
Common Share Dividend/Distribution
On June 16, 2009, Lexington announced it declared a regular quarterly dividend/distribution of $0.18 per share/unit, which was paid in a combination of cash and common shares on July 30, 2009 to common shareholders/unitholders of record as of June 30, 2009, and which equated to an annualized dividend of $0.72 per share. Lexington issued approximately 4.3 million common shares on July 30, 2009 and retained approximately $17.7 million of liquidity by paying 90% of the common share dividend in common shares.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Sales and Investments
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Lexington sold its interest in six properties to third parties for an aggregate gross sales price of $75.4 million, which generated gains on sale of $3.2 million.

At June 30, 2009, Lexington's portfolio was approximately 92.0% leased. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Lexington executed 26 leases (new and renewal) for approximately 1.8 million square feet.

2009 EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Lexington is reducing its estimated Company FFO guidance to a range of $1.29 to $1.34 per diluted share/unit from $1.30 to $1.37 per diluted share/unit for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reflect the issuance of approximately 7.3 million common shares issued in connection with the quarterly common share dividend and the repurchase and retirement of Series C preferred shares. This guidance excludes the impact of certain items, is based on current expectations and is forward-looking.

(1) Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted FASB Staff Position APB
14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in
Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) and FASB Staff
Position No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities", both of
which require retrospective application to prior periods. In accordance
with FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, net income attributable to common
shareholders and earnings per common share and accordingly FFO and FFO
per common share are adjusted for an allocation of net income to unvested
share awards. However, net losses will not be allocated to unvested share
awards. The Company's FFO per common share (diluted) and earnings per
common share (diluted) were reduced by the Company's implementation of
these FASB Staff Positions. FFO per common share (diluted) was reduced by
$0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and $0.06 for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 respectively. Loss per common share (diluted)
was increased by $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and
earnings per common share (diluted) was reduced by $0.07 for the six
months ended June 30, 2008.
(2) Lexington believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely
recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
Lexington presents FFO because it considers FFO an important
supplemental measure of Lexington's operating performance. Lexington
believes 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
generally accepted accounting principles ("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.
Lexington computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT").
FFO is defined by NAREIT 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." FFO does not represent
cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is
not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. 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.
Lexington includes in its calculation of FFO, which Lexington refers to as
the "Company's funds from operations" or "Company FFO," Lexington's
operating partnership units and Lexington's Series C Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Shares because these securities are convertible, at
the holder's option, into Lexington's common shares. Management believes
this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties because Lexington presents Company FFO on a
company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the
holder's option, into Lexington's common shares, are converted. Since
others do not calculate FFO in a similar fashion, Company FFO may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
