           Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
           ==========================================
                          June 30, 1996
                           (Unaudited)

1.  Management Statement and General
- ------------------------------------

    The financial statements of Realty Income Corporation
("Realty Income" or the "Company") were prepared from the books
and records of the Company without audit or verification and in
the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair
statement of results for the interim periods presented.  Readers
of this quarterly report should refer to the audited financial
statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995,
which are included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as certain disclosures which would substantially duplicate
those contained in such audited financial statements have been
omitted from this report.

    During the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and of Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" ("Statement 121").  Statement 121 provides
guidance for the recognition and measurement of impairment of
long-lived assets, including goodwill, related both to assets to
be held and used and assets to be disposed of.  Under Statement
121, a provision for impairment loss is recognized for assets to
be held and used if estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and
without interest charges) over a long-term holding period, plus
estimated disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than
current book value.  In addition, for assets to be disposed of, a
provision for impairment loss is recognized for the amount by
which the current book value of the asset to be disposed of
exceeds its fair value less cost to sell.

    During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded
provision for impairment losses of $323,000 related to two
properties to be disposed of.  No provision was recognized in
1995 or the second quarter of 1996.

    Certain of the 1995 balances have been reclassified to
conform to 1996 presentation.  The reclassifications had no
effect on stockholders' equity or net income.

2.  Credit Facility
- -------------------

    The Company has a $130 million, three-year, revolving,
unsecured acquisition credit facility that expires in November
1998.  As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the outstanding
balance on the credit facility was $24.6 million and $6.0
million, respectively, with an effective interest rate of
approximately 6.78% and 7.19%, respectively.  A commitment fee of
0.15%, per annum, accrues on the average amount of the unused
available credit commitment.  The fee can increase up to 0.35% if
the Company reaches certain debt levels.

    The credit facility is subject to various leverage and
interest coverage ratio limitations, all of which the Company is
and has been in compliance with.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, interest of
$40,000 and $158,000 was capitalized on properties under
construction.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
interest of $26,000 and $112,000 was so capitalized.

3.  Notes Payable
- -----------------

    The Company redeemed, at par, the $12.6 million principal
amount of variable rate senior notes due 2001 on March 29, 1996.
Interest incurred on the notes for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $217,000 and $519,000, respectively.
Interest incurred on the notes for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $0 and $267,000.

of the Company.  On August 17, 1995, the Advisor was merged into
the Company (the "Merger") and the advisory agreement was
terminated.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
=======

    Realty Income Corporation ("Realty Income" or the "Company")
is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate company with
in-house acquisition, leasing, legal, financial underwriting,
portfolio management and capital markets expertise.  The seven
senior officers of the Company have each participated in the
management of the Company's properties and operations for between
six and 27 years.  Realty Income has elected to be taxed as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT").  As of June 30, 1996,
Realty Income owned a diversified portfolio of 692 properties in
42 states consisting of over 4.68 million square feet of leasable
space.

    Realty Income typically acquires, then leases back, retail
store locations from retail chain store operators, providing
capital to the operators for continued expansion and other
purposes.  The Company concentrates its investments in single-
tenant, retail properties leased to national and regional retail
chains under long-term, triple-net lease agreements.  Triple-net
leases typically require the tenant to be responsible for
substantially all property operating costs including property
taxes, insurance, maintenance and structural repairs.  Management
believes that long-term leases, coupled with tenants assuming
responsibility for property expenses under the triple-net lease
structure, generally produce a more predictable income stream
than many other types of real estate portfolios.

    The Company's primary business objective is to generate a
consistent and predictable level of funds from operations ("FFO")
per share and provide distributions to stockholders.
Additionally, the Company generally will seek to increase FFO per
share and distributions to stockholders through both internal and
external growth, while also seeking to lower the ratio of
distributions to stockholders as a percentage of FFO in order to
allow internal cash flow to be used to fund additional

                                                          Page 13
<PAGE>
acquisitions and for other corporate purposes.  The Company
pursues internal growth through (i) contractual rent increases on
existing leases; (ii) rental increases at the termination of
existing leases when market conditions permit; and (iii) the
active management of the Company's property portfolio, including
selective sales of properties.  The Company generally pursues
external growth through the acquisition of additional properties
under long-term, triple-net lease agreements with initial
contractual base rent which, at the time of acquisition, is in
excess of the Company's estimated cost of capital.

    Prior to August 17, 1995, the Company's day-to-day affairs
were managed by R.I.C. Advisor, Inc. (the "Advisor") which
provided advice and assistance regarding acquisitions of
properties by the Company and performed the day-to-day management
of the Company's properties and business.  On August 17, 1995,
the Advisor was merged with and into Realty Income (the
"Merger").  As part of the Merger the advisory agreement between
the Company and the Advisor was terminated.

    In July 1996, the Company expanded its board of directors to
seven members.  The new directors are Richard J. VanDerhoff,
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Willard
H. Smith, formerly the Managing Director, Equity Capital Markets
Division, of Merrill Lynch & Co from 1983 until his recent
retirement.

    The Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "O."

Liquidity and Capital Resources
===============================

    Cash Reserves
    -------------

    Realty Income was organized for the purpose of operating as
an equity REIT which distributes to stockholders, in the form of
monthly cash distributions, a substantial portion of its net cash
flow generated from lease revenue.  The Company intends to retain
an appropriate amount of cash as working capital reserves.  At
June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling
approximately $865,000.

    Management believes that the Company's cash on hand, cash
provided from operating activities and borrowing capacity are
sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable
future.

<PAGE>
    Capital Funding
    ---------------

    Realty Income has a $130 million three-year, revolving,
unsecured acquisition credit facility that expires in November
1998.  The credit facility currently bears interest at 1.25% over
the London Interbank Offered Rate and offers the Company other
interest rate options.  As of August 1, 1996, $104.4 million of
borrowing capacity was available to the Company under the
acquisition credit facility.  At that time, the outstanding
balance on the credit facility was $25.6 million.  This credit
facility was used to payoff senior notes, and has been and is
expected to be used to acquire additional retail properties
leased to national and regional retail chains under long term
lease agreements.  Borrowings to fund additional properties will
increase the Company's exposure to interest rate risk.

    On March 29, 1996, senior notes totaling $12.6 million were
redeemed at par.  Proceeds from borrowings under the acquisition
credit facility were used to redeem the notes.

    Realty Income expects to meet its long-term capital needs for
the acquisition of properties through the issuance of public or
private debt or equity.  In August 1995, the Company filed a
universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering up to $200 million in value of
common stock, preferred stock or debt securities.

    In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company issued 2,540,000
shares of common stock at a price of $19.625 per share.  The net
proceeds of $46.4 million from the stock offering were used to
repay borrowings under the acquisition credit facility.  These
borrowings were used to acquire properties in 1995.

    The Company is not currently involved in any negotiations and
has not entered into any arrangements relating to any additional
securities issuances.

    Property Acquisitions
    ---------------------

    During the first six months of 1996, Realty Income purchased
nine retail properties in six states for $6.8 million (including
the estimated unfunded development costs on seven properties
under construction totaling $2.3 million).  These nine properties
will contain approximately 30,800 leasable square feet and are
100% leased under triple-net leases, with an average initial
lease term of 16.6 years.  The weighted average annual
unleveraged return on the cost of the nine properties is
estimated to be 11.3%, computed as estimated contractual net
operating income (which in the case of a triple-net leased
property is equal to the base rent or, in the case of properties

                                                          Page 15
<PAGE>
under construction, the estimated base rent under the lease) for
the first year divided by the total acquisition and estimated
development costs.  No assurance can be given that the actual
return on the cost of the nine properties acquired in 1996 will
not differ from the foregoing percentage.

    In 1996, the Company also invested $696,000 in four
development properties originally acquired in 1995.  These four
development properties have been completed and are paying rent.
Final construction funding of $585,000 is pending on two of these
properties and is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of
1996.  Land adjacent to a current property in the portfolio was
acquired for $102,000 and leased to the adjacent Taco Bell
tenant.

    The Company also invested $9,000 in existing properties and
purchased the outstanding Class A units in R.I.C. Trade Center,
Ltd., Silverton Business Center, Ltd. and Empire Business Center,
Ltd. for an aggregate of $150,000.  After this purchase, Realty
Income owned 100% of these partnerships, which were then
dissolved.  These partnerships owned three mixed-use light
industrial business parks in San Diego, CA.

    From December 1994 through June 1996, Realty Income acquired
71 retail properties (the "New Properties") for an aggregate cost
of approximately  $76.9 million (including the estimated unfunded
development costs on nine properties totaling $2.9 million).  The
New Properties are located in 20 states, contain approximately
691,600 leasable square feet and are 100% leased under triple-net
leases, with an average initial lease term of 16.5 years.  The
weighted average annual unleveraged return on the cost of the New
Properties is estimated to be 11.3%.  No assurance can be given
that the actual return on the cost of the New Properties will not
differ from the foregoing percentage.

    Of the New Properties, 64 were occupied as of June 30, 1996
and the remaining seven were pre-leased and under construction
pursuant to contracts under which the tenants have agreed to
develop the properties (with development costs funded by the
Company) and to begin paying rent when the premises open for
business.  All of the New Properties, including the properties
under development, are leased with initial terms of 10 to 20
years.  The New Properties were purchased with $15.6 million of
cash on hand and $58.4 million from the acquisition credit
facility (of which, $46.4 million was repaid from the net
proceeds of the stock offering).  The allocation of costs between
land, and buildings and improvements on the 64 completed and
occupied properties was 42% and 58%, respectively.

(1)  The Company acquired these properties as undeveloped land

cost overruns to the extent they exceed the construction budget
by more than 5%.  As of June 30, 1996, the total acquisition and
estimated construction costs for the seven properties under
development was $4.6 million, of which $2.3 million had not been
funded.

    Distributions
    -------------

    Cash distributions paid during the first six months of 1996
totaled $26.7 million, including a special distribution of $5.3
million.  Cash distributions paid during the comparable period in
1995 totaled $17.6 million.  During the first six months of 1996,
the Company paid a special distribution of $0.23 per share and
six monthly distributions of $0.155 per share, totaling $1.16 per
share.  During the first six months of 1995, the Company paid six
monthly distributions of $0.15 per share, totaling $0.90 per
share.  In June and July 1996, the Company declared two
distributions of $0.155 per share payable on July 15 and
August 15, 1996, respectively.

Funds from Operations ("FFO")
=============================

    FFO for the second quarter of 1996 was $11.44 million versus
$9.38 million during the second quarter of 1995, an increase of
$2.06 million.  FFO for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$22.93 million versus $18.65 million during the comparable period
in 1995, an increase of $4.28 million.  Realty Income defines FFO
as net income less gain on sales of properties, plus provision
for impairment losses on properties held for sale, plus
depreciation and amortization.  In accordance with the
recommendations of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), amortization of deferred financing
costs are not added back to net income to calculate FFO.
Amortization of financing costs are included in interest expense
in the consolidated statements of income.

    Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the
performance of an equity REIT.  FFO is used by financial analysts
in evaluating REITs and can be one measure of a REIT's ability to
make cash distribution payments.  Presentation of this
information provides the reader with an additional measure to
compare the performance of different REITs.

    FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to
fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to
cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as
a measure of liquidity or ability to make cash distributions.

Results of Operations
=====================

    The following is a comparison of the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 to the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995.

    Rental revenue was $13.6 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 versus $12.2 million for the comparable quarter in
1995, an increase of $1.4 million.  The increase in rental
revenue was primarily due to the New Properties.  In the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the New Properties generated
revenue of $2.0 million and $614,000, respectively, an increase
of $1.4 million.  Percentage rent, which is included in rental
revenue, in the second quarter of 1996 and 1995 was $101,000 and
$111,000, respectively.

    Rental revenue was $27.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 versus $24.0 million for the comparable six months
in 1995, an increase of $3.3 million.  The increase in rental
revenue was primarily due to the New Properties.  In the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the New Properties generated
revenue of $3.95 million and $769,000, respectively, an increase
of $3.18 million.  Percentage rent for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $320,000 and $325,000, respectively.

    At June 30, 1996, 652 or 94.2% of the Company's leases
provide for increases in rents through (i) base rent increases
tied to a consumer price index with adjustment ceilings or (ii)
overage rent based on a percentage of the tenants' gross sales.
Some leases contain both types of clauses.  Rental revenue
generated on 624 properties owned during both the first six
months of 1995 and 1996 increased by $284,000 or 1.2%, from
$23.19 million to $23.47 million.  Rental revenue generated on
624 properties owned during both the second quarter of 1995 and
1996 increased by $102,000 or 0.9%, from $11.55 million to $11.65
million.  When comparing 1996 to 1995, same store revenue
increased at a slower pace during the second quarter then during
the first six months, due to an increase in unleased properties
in 1996.

    Unleased properties are a factor in determining gross revenue
generated and property costs incurred by the Company.  At
June 30, 1996, the Company had eight properties that were not
under lease as compared to four properties at June 30, 1995.
Four of the eight unleased properties at June 30, 1996 became
available for lease during the second quarter of 1996.  All of
the remaining properties were under lease agreements with third
party tenants.

    Interest revenue decreased by $23,000 in the second quarter
of 1996 to $27,000 from $50,000 in 1995 and by $106,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1996 to $50,000 from $156,000 in 1995.
The decrease in interest for both periods was due to lower cash
balances, which reflects the Company's desire to maintain an
appropriate amount of cash as working capital reserves and invest
excess available cash in properties.  During the first six months
of 1995, the Company invested $10.0 million of cash on hand in
properties.

    Depreciation and amortization was $4.0 million in the second
quarter of 1996 verses $3.6 million for the comparable quarter in
1995 and $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996
verses $6.9 million for the comparable six months in 1995.  The
increase in both periods was primarily due to the depreciation of
the New Properties and amortization of goodwill recorded in
connection with the Merger.

    Total advisor fees and general and administrative expenses
decreased by $662,000 to $1.3 million in the second quarter of
1996 versus $2.0 million in 1995.  General and administrative
expenses were $1.3 million in the second quarter of 1996 versus
$494,000 in 1995 and advisor fees of $1.5 million in 1995.  The
$794,000 increase in general and administrative expenses was due
to expenses for management, accounting systems, office
facilities, professional and support personnel (i.e. costs of
being self-administered).  Such costs were the responsibility of
the Advisor through August 17, 1995, which received advisor fees
of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 1995.  As part of the
Merger, the advisory agreement was terminated.

    Total advisor fees and general and administrative expenses
decreased by $1.3 million to $2.6 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 versus $3.9 million in 1995.  General and
administrative expenses were $2.6 million in 1996 versus $1.0
million in 1995 and advisor fees of $2.9 million in 1995.  The
$1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses was
due to expenses for management, accounting systems, office
facilities, professional and support personnel (i.e. costs of
being self-administered).  Such costs were the responsibility of
the Advisor through August 17, 1995, which received advisor fees
of $2.9 million in the first six months of 1995.

    Property expenses are broken down into costs associated with
multi-tenant non-triple net lease properties, unleased single-
tenant properties and general portfolio expenses.  Costs on the
multi-tenant and unleased single-tenant properties include, but
are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance,
utilities, site checks, bad debt expense and legal fees.  General
portfolio costs include, but are not limited to, insurance,
legal, site checks and title search fees.

    Costs incurred on the ten multi-tenant properties during the
second quarter of 1996 and 11 multi-tenant properties in the
comparable period of 1995 totaled $280,000 and $244,000,
respectively.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in
insurance.  Two of the ten multi-tenant locations became vacant
during the second quarter of 1996.  One multi-tenant property was
sold in August 1995.  Costs incurred on the six unleased single-
tenant properties in the second quarter of 1996 and three
unleased single-tenant properties in the second
quarter of 1995 were $32,000 and $16,000, respectively.  The
increase is due to property taxes, maintenance and utilities on
the additional vacant properties.  General portfolio costs in
1996 and 1995 totaled $101,000 and $94,000, respectively.  The
increase in general portfolio costs is primarily due to an
increase in title search fees.

    Costs incurred on the ten multi-tenant properties during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 11 multi-tenant properties in
the comparable period of 1995 totaled $559,000 and $492,000.  The
increase was primarily due to an increase in property taxes and
insurance.  Costs incurred on the six unleased single-tenant
properties during the first six months of 1996 and three unleased
single-tenant properties in the comparable period of 1995 were
$91,000 and $43,000.  The increase is due to property taxes,
maintenance and utilities on the additional vacant properties.
General portfolio costs in 1996 and 1995 totaled $209,000 and
$189,000, respectively.  The increase in general portfolio costs
is primarily due to an increase in title search fees.

    Interest expense is made up of four components which include;
(i) interest on outstanding loans and notes which is offset by;

                                                          Page 22
<PAGE>
(ii) interest capitalized on properties under development.
Interest capitalized on properties under development is included
in the costs of the completed property and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the property.  The other two components
are; (iii) commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the credit
facility; and (iv) amortization of the credit facility
origination costs.

    Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $485,000
as compared to $559,000 for 1995.  Interest accrued in 1996 and
1995 was $416,000 and $553,000, respectively.  Interest accrued
was lower in 1996 than in 1995 due to a decrease in the average
outstanding balance and lower interest rates on the acquisition
credit facility and senior notes.  During the second quarter of
1996, the average outstanding balance and interest rate were
$24.6 million and 6.81% as compared to $27.7 million and 7.99%
during the comparable period in 1995.  Included in the 1996 and
1995 accrued interest was capitalized interest totaling $26,000
and $112,000, respectively.  Commitment fees in 1996 were $40,000
as compared to $32,000 in 1995.  In 1996 and 1995, a commitment
fee of 0.15% per annum was accrued on the undrawn portion of the
credit facility.  Commitment fees increased in 1996 because the
borrowing capacity was increased to $130 million from $100
million in December 1995.  Amortization of the credit facility
origination fees were $55,000 in 1996 as compared to $86,000 in
1995.  The amortized credit facility origination fees decreased
in 1996 as compared to 1995, because in December 1995 the term of
the credit facility was extended one year, which extended the
period of time over which unamortized fees are amortized.

    Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$1.0 million as compared to $894,000 for 1995.  Interest accrued
in 1996 and 1995 was $851,000 and $814,000, respectively.
Interest accrued was higher in 1996 than in 1995 due to an
increase in the average outstanding balance on the acquisition
credit facility and senior notes, partially offset by lower
interest rates.  During the first six months of 1996, the average
outstanding balance and interest rate were $24.5 million and
6.97% as compared to $20.5 million and 7.99% during the
comparable period in 1995.  Included in the 1996 and 1995 accrued
interest was capitalized interest totaling $40,000 and $158,000,
respectively.  Commitment fees in 1996 were $85,000 as compared
to $70,000 in 1995.  In 1996 and 1995, a commitment fee of 0.15%
per annum was accrued on the undrawn portion of the credit
facility.  Commitment fees increased in 1996 because the
borrowing capacity was increased to $130 million from $100
million in December 1995.  Amortization of the credit facility
origination fees were $109,000 in 1996 as compared to $168,000 in
1995.  The amortized credit facility origination fees decreased
in 1996 as compared to 1995, because in December 1995 the term of
the credit facility was extended one year, which extended the
period of time over which unamortized fees are amortized.

    The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  In the first quarter
of 1996, a $323,000 charge was taken to reduce the net carrying
value on two properties because they are held for sale.  No
charge was recorded for an impairment loss in 1995.

    The Company anticipates a small number of property sales will
occur in the normal course of business.  During the second
quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a gain of $213,000 on the
sale of one restaurant property which generated cash proceeds
from the sale of $685,000.  No sales occurred during the
comparable period of 1995.

    During the first six months 1996, the Company recorded a gain
of $958,000 on the sale of two restaurant properties and the
granting of an easement on another property.  During 1995, the
Company recorded a gain of $77,000 on the sale of one child care
property.  During 1996 and 1995 cash proceeds generated from
these sales were $2.2 million and $315,000, respectively.

    For the second quarter of 1996, the Company had net income of
$7.6 million versus $5.8 million in 1995.  The $1.8 million
increase in net income is primarily due to an increase in rental
revenue from New Properties of $1.4 million and a decrease in
interest, advisor fees, general and administrative expenses of
$736,000, offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization
expense.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had net
income of $15.5 million versus $11.8 million in 1995.  The $3.7
million increase in net income is primarily due to an increase in
rental revenue of $3.2 million on the New Properties and a net
decrease in interest, advisor fees, general and administrative
expenses of $1.2 million, offset by an increase in depreciation
and amortization expense.

Impact Of Inflation
===================

    Tenant leases generally provide for increases in rent as a
result of increases in the tenant's sales volumes or increases in
the consumer price index.  Management expects that inflation will
cause these lease provisions to result in increases in rent over
time.  However, inflation and increased costs may have an adverse
impact on the tenants if increases in the tenant's operating
expenses exceed increases in revenue.  Approximately 98% of the
properties are leased to tenants under triple-net leases in which
the tenant is responsible for substantially all property costs
and expenses.  These features in the leases reduce the Company's
exposure to rising expenses due to inflation.
