              REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
              ==========================================
                             June 30, 2000
                             (Unaudited)

1.  Management Statement

The consolidated financial statements of Realty Income Corporation
("Realty Income", the "Company", "we" or "our") were prepared from our
books and records without audit and 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 our audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, which are included in
our 1999 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.


2.  Property Acquisitions

During the first six months of 2000, we invested $16.8 million in
three new retail properties and properties under development.  These
three properties are located in two states and will contain
approximately 52,700 leasable square feet and are 100% leased, with an
average initial lease term of 13.2 years.

During the first six months of 2000, Crest Net Lease, a subsidiary of
Realty Income, invested $20.5 million in seven new retail properties.
These seven properties are held for sale.

During the first six months of 1999, we invested $88.9 million in 66
new retail properties and properties under development.  These 66
properties are located in 23 states and contain approximately 623,100
leasable square feet and are 100% leased, with an average initial
lease term of 15.7 years.


3.  Investment in Subsidiary

In January 2000, we formed Crest Net Lease, Inc., of which we own 95%
of the common stock, all of which is non-voting, and certain members
of management own 5% of the common stock, all of which is voting
stock.  Crest Net Lease was created to actively buy and sell
properties, primarily to buyers using tax-deferred exchanges, under
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

During the first six months of 2000, we invested $8.6 million in Crest
Net Lease common stock.  In February 2000, we entered into a $25
million, revolving credit facility with Crest Net Lease.  As of
June 30, 2000, our outstanding loans to Crest Net Lease were $12.3
million.

6.  Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted net income per
common share is computed by dividing the amount of net income
available to common stockholders for the period by the number of
common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance
of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares
outstanding during the reporting period.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic net
income per common share computation to the denominator of the diluted
net income per common share computation, for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999:

447,552 and 186,181, respectively, were anti-dilutive and have been
excluded from the incremental shares from the assumed conversion of
stock options.


7.  Purchases of Realty Income Securities

In January 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up
to $10 million of our outstanding common and preferred shares and
senior debt securities during the next 12 months.  During the first
six months of 2000, we purchased 181,000 shares of our common stock at
an average price of $21.28 and 14,300 shares of our Class B preferred
stock at an average price of $19.27, for a total investment of $4.1
million.


8.  Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

Interest paid during the first six months of 2000 and 1999 was $13.6
million and $10.4 million, respectively.

In the first six months of 2000 and 1999, interest of $724,000 and
$638,000, respectively, was capitalized to properties under
development.  For the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
interest of $367,000 and $344,000, respectively, was so capitalized.

The following non-cash investing and financing activities are included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

In the first six months of 1999, the investment in properties resulted
in an increase in buildings and other liabilities of $4.2 million.


9. Segment Information

We evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions on a
property by property basis.  For financial reporting purposes, we have
grouped our tenants into nine reportable segments based upon the
business the tenants are in.  All of the properties have been acquired
separately and are incorporated into one of the applicable segments.
Revenue is the only component of segment profit and loss we measure.
Since our revenue is primarily from net leases, expenditures for
additions to long-lived assets were to acquire additional properties.

GENERAL
-------

Realty Income Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("Realty Income",
the "Company", "our" or "we") was organized to operate as an equity
real estate investment trust ("REIT").  We are a fully integrated,
self-administered real estate company with in-house acquisition,
leasing, legal, retail and real estate research, portfolio management
and capital markets expertise.  As of June 30, 2000, we owned a
diversified portfolio of 1,073 retail properties located in 45 states
with over 8.6 million square feet of leasable space.  Of the 1,073
properties in the portfolio, 1,066 are single-tenant retail properties
with the remainder being multi-tenant properties.  As of June 30,
2000, 1,050, or 98.5%, of the 1,066 single-tenant properties were
leased with an average remaining lease term (excluding extension
options) of approximately 8.4 years.  In addition, as of June 30,
2000, our subsidiary Crest Net Lease owned seven retail properties
located in five states with approximately 322,000 square feet of
leaseable space.  These seven properties, which are held for sale, are
100% leased with an average initial lease term of 19.3 years.

Our primary business objective is to generate dependable monthly
distributions from a consistent and predictable level of funds from
operations ("FFO") per share.  Additionally, we generally will seek to
increase distributions to stockholders and FFO per share through both
active portfolio management and the acquisition of additional
properties.

Our portfolio management focus includes:
     -  Contractual rent increases on existing leases;
     -  Rental increases at the termination of existing leases when
        market conditions permit; and
     -  The active management of our property portfolio,
        including selective sales of properties.

Our acquisition of additional properties adheres to a focused strategy
of acquiring primarily:
     -  Freestanding, single-tenant, retail properties;
     -  Properties leased to regional and national retail chains; and
     -  Properties under long-term, net lease agreements.

We typically acquire, then lease back, retail store locations from
chain store operators, providing capital to the operators for
continued expansion and other corporate purposes.  Our acquisitions
and investment activities are concentrated in well-defined target
markets and focus generally on middle-market retailers providing goods
and services that satisfy basic consumer needs.

<PAGE>
Our net lease agreements generally:
    -  Are for initial terms of 10 to 20 years;
    -  Require the tenant to pay a minimum monthly rent and property
       operating expenses (taxes, insurance and maintenance); and
    -  Provide for future rent increases (typically subject to
       ceilings) based on increases in the consumer price index, fixed
       increases or additional rent calculated as a percentage of the
       tenant's gross sales above a specified level.

We believe that the long-term ownership of an actively managed,
diversified portfolio of retail properties under long-term, net lease
agreements produces consistent, predictable income.  Under a net-lease
agreement, the tenant agrees to pay a minimum monthly rent and
property operating expenses (taxes, maintenance, and insurance) plus,
typically, future rent increases (generally subject to ceilings) based
on increases in the consumer price index, fixed increases or
additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenant's gross sales
above a specified level.  We believe that long-term leases, coupled
with the tenant's responsibility for property expenses, generally
produce a more predictable income stream than many other types of real
estate portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth
in rental income.

Since 1970 and through December 31, 1999, we have acquired and leased
back to regional and national retail chains 1,054 properties
(including 36 properties that have been sold) and have collected in
excess of 98% of the original contractual rent obligations on those
properties.  We believe that within this market we can achieve an
attractive risk-adjusted return on the financing that we provide to
retailers.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
-------------------

ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2000.
During the first six months of 2000, we acquired three additional
properties (the "New Properties").  During the first six months of
2000, we invested $16.8 million in the New Properties, which includes
investments of $11.0 million for properties under development.
Estimated unfunded development costs on properties under construction
at June 30, 2000 totaled $7.5 million.  During the first six months of
2000, we paid $94,000 for releasing costs and $44,000 for building
improvements on existing properties in our portfolio.

The New Properties will contain approximately 52,700 leasable square
feet and are 100% leased under net leases, with an average initial
lease term of 13.2 years.  The New Properties are pre-leased and under
construction, pursuant to contracts under which the tenants have
agreed to develop the properties (with development costs funded by
Realty Income) and to begin paying rent when the premises open for
business.

$25 MILLION UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.  In February 2000, we
entered into a $25 million, three-year, revolving credit facility with
the Bank of Montreal, which expires in February 2003.  This credit
facility has been and is expected to be used for the acquisition of
property and for making capital contributions to subsidiaries for the
purpose of acquiring properties.

INCREASE IN MONTHLY DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS. Monthly
distributions were increased in January 2000 by $0.0025 to $0.18 per
share and in April and July 2000 by $0.00125 to $0.18125 and $0.1825
per share, respectively.  The increase in July was our 11th
consecutive quarterly increase.  We continue our policy of paying
distributions monthly. During the first six months of 2000, we paid
three distributions of $0.18 per share and three distributions of
$0.18125 per share, totaling $1.08375 per share. During the first six
months of 1999, we paid three distributions of $0.17 per share and
three distributions of $0.1725 per share, totaling $1.0275 per share.
In June and July 2000, we declared distributions of $0.1825 per share,
which were paid on July 17, 2000 and payable on August 15, 2000,
respectively.  The monthly distribution of $0.1825 per share
represents a current annualized distribution of $2.19 per share, and
an annualized distribution yield of approximately 9.13% based on the
last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE of
$24.00 on August 10, 2000.  Although we expect to continue our policy
of paying monthly distributions, there can be no assurance that the
current level of distributions will be maintained by the Company, that
will we continue our pattern of increasing distributions per share, or
as to the actual distribution yield for any future period.

STOCK AND SENIOR DEBT REPURCHASE PROGRAM.  In January 2000, our Board
of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $10 million of our
outstanding common and preferred shares and senior debt securities
during the next 12 months.  The purchases will be funded using
available working capital that consists primarily of cash flow from
operations.  Through August 1, 2000, we purchased 181,000 shares of
our common stock at an average price of $21.28 and 14,300 shares of
our Class B preferred stock at an average price of $19.27, for a total
investment of $4.1 million.

FORMATION OF CREST NET LEASE.  In January 2000, we formed Crest Net
Lease, Inc., of which we own 95% of the common stock, all of which is
non-voting, and certain members of management own 5% of the common
stock, all of which is voting stock.  Crest Net Lease was created to
actively buy and sell properties, primarily to buyers using tax-
deferred exchanges, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.

During the first six months of 2000, we invested $8.6 million in Crest
Net Lease common stock.  In February 2000, we entered into a $25
million, revolving credit facility with Crest Net Lease.  As of
June 30, 2000, our outstanding loans to Crest Net Lease were

<PAGE>
$12.3 million.  The financial statements of Crest Net Lease have been
consolidated into Realty Income's financial statements.  All material
inter company transactions, including the investment and loans
referred to above, have been eliminated in the consolidation method of
accounting.

During the first six months of 2000, Crest Net invested $20.5 million
in seven retail properties.  These seven properties are located in
five states and contain approximately 322,000 leasable square feet and
are 100% leased, with an average initial lease term of 19.3 years.
These seven properties are held for sale and are anticipated to be
sold within the next six months.

June 30, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Realty Income is organized for the purpose of operating as an equity
REIT which acquires and leases properties and distributes to
stockholders, in the form of monthly cash distributions, a substantial
portion of its net cash flow generated from leases on its retail
properties.  We intend to retain an appropriate amount of cash as
working capital.  At June 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents
totaling $2.4 million.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash provided
from operating activities and borrowing capacity are sufficient to
meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. We intend,
however, to use additional sources of capital to fund property
acquisitions and to repay our credit facilities.












                                                           Page 18


<PAGE>
Capital Funding

We have a $200 million, three-year revolving, unsecured acquisition
credit facility that expires in December 2002 and a $25 million,
three-year revolving, unsecured credit facility that expires in
February 2003.  The credit facilities currently bear interest at
1.225% over the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and offers us
other interest rate options.  As of August 11, 2000, borrowing
capacity of $64.3 million was available to us under the $200 million
credit facility and $600,000 was available under the $25 million
credit facility.  At that time, the outstanding balances on the $200
million credit facility was $135.7 million with an effective interest
rate of 7.87% and the outstanding balances on the $25 million credit
facility was $24.4 million with an effective interest rate of 7.90%.
These credit facilities have been and are expected to be used to
acquire additional retail properties leased to national and regional
retail chains under long-term lease agreements. Any additional
borrowings will increase our exposure to interest rate risk.

We expect to meet our long-term capital needs for the acquisition of
properties through the issuance of public or private debt or equity.
In June 1999, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission covering up to $400 million in
value of common stock, preferred stock and debt securities.  Through
June 30, 2000, $34.5 million in value of common stock, preferred stock
and debt securities has been issued under the universal shelf
registration statement.

We believe that we are best served by a conservative capital
structure, with a majority of our capital consisting of equity.  As of
August 10, 2000, our total outstanding credit facility borrowings and
outstanding notes were $390.1 million or approximately 34.4% of our
total capitalization of $1.1 billion (defined as shares of our common
stock outstanding multiplied by the last reported sales price of the
common stock on the NYSE on August 10, 2000 of $24.00 per share plus
the liquidation value of the Class B Preferred Stock, the Class C
Preferred Stock, the outstanding borrowings on the credit facilities
and outstanding notes at August 10, 2000).

Historically, we have met our long-term capital needs through the
issuance of common stock, preferred stock and investment grade long-
term unsecured debt.  We believe that the Company is best served by
having the majority of our future issuances of securities be in the
form of common stock.  We will issue common stock when we believe that
the share price of our common stock is at a level that allows for the
proceeds of any offering to be invested on an accretive basis into
additional properties or to pay down any short-term borrowings on our
credit facilities.  We do not presently view our price per share as
attractive for additional issuances of common stock.  We do not
anticipate issuing additional shares of common stock until we
determine the common stock price has risen to acceptable levels.  In
addition, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance

                                                           Page 19

<PAGE>
sheet, which should result in conservative interest and fixed charge
coverage ratios.  We do not anticipate issuing significant amounts of
additional debt until additional equity can also be issued to offset
the increase in debt.  If the share price levels do not increase and
we do not issue additional equity or debt, we will reduce our level of
property acquisitions.  Under these circumstances, we intend to
achieve our growth objectives by investing cash flow in excess of
distributions in additional retail properties and purchases of our
outstanding securities.  In addition, we intend to strategically sell
properties that have appreciated in value and invest the proceeds in
new properties that will generate rental revenue in excess of those
generated by the properties that were sold.

We received investment grade corporate credit ratings on our senior
unsecured debt from Duff & Phelps Rating Company, Moody's Investor
Service, Inc., and Standard & Poor's Rating Group in December 1996.
Currently, Duff & Phelps has assigned a rating of BBB, Moody's has
assigned a rating of Baa3, and Standard & Poor's has assigned a rating
of BBB- to our senior debt.  These ratings could change based upon,
among other things, our results of operations and financial condition.

We have also received credit ratings from the same rating agencies on
our preferred stock.  Duff & Phelps Rating Company has assigned a
rating of BBB-, Moody's Investor Service, Inc. has assigned a rating
of Ba1, and Standard & Poor's Rating Group has assigned a rating of
BB+.  These ratings could change based upon, among other things, our
results of operations and financial condition.

Distributions

We pay monthly distributions to our common stockholders.  We paid cash
distributions to our common stockholders of $29.0 million and $27.6
million during the first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. We
pay distributions quarterly to our Class B Preferred stockholders. We
paid cash distributions to our Class B Preferred stockholders of $3.2
million and $629,000 during the first six months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. We pay distributions monthly to our Class C Preferred
stockholders. We paid cash distributions to our Class C Preferred
stockholders of $1.6 million during the first six months of 2000.  No
distributions were paid to our Class C Preferred stockholders during
the first six months of 1999.

We consider FFO to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an
equity REIT. Financial analysts use FFO in evaluating REITs and FFO
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,
although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same
way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

We define FFO as net income available to common stockholders, plus
depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the
real estate industry, reduced by gains and increased by losses on (i)
sales of property and (ii) extraordinary and "unusual" items.

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 Realty Income's performance or to cash flows from
operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of
liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or to pay debt
service.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

The following is a comparison of our results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999.

Rental revenue was $28.3 million for the second quarter of 2000 versus
$24.9 million for the comparable quarter of 1999, an increase of 13.7%
or $3.4 million. The increase in rental revenue was primarily due to
the acquisition of 110 properties during 1999.  These properties
generated revenue of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1999, an increase of
$3.0 million.  Included in rental revenue for the second quarter of
2000 is $28,000 from properties owned by Crest Net Lease, that are
held for sale.


                                                           Page 22

<PAGE>
Rental revenue was $56.7 million for the first six months of 2000
versus $48.8 million for the comparable period of 1999, an increase of
16.2% or $7.9 million. The increase in rental revenue was primarily
due to the acquisition of 110 properties during 1999.  These
properties generated revenue of $7.7 million in the first six months
of 2000 compared to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $6.5 million.  Included in rental revenue for 2000 is
$28,000 from properties owned by Crest Net Lease, that are held for
sale.

Of the 1,073 properties in the portfolio as of June 30, 2000, 1,066
are single-tenant properties with the remaining properties being
multi-tenant properties.  Of the 1,066 single-tenant properties,
1,050, or 98.5%, were net leased with an average remaining lease term
(excluding extension options) of approximately 8.4 years.  Of our
1,050 leased single-tenant properties, 1,042 or 99.2% were under
leases that provide for increases in rents through:

    - Base rent increases tied to a consumer price index with
      adjustment ceilings;
    - Overage rent based on a percentage of the tenants' gross
      sales; or
    - Fixed increases.

Some leases contain more than one of these clauses.  Percentage rent,
which is included in rental revenue, was $77,000 and $106,000 during
the second quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  Percentage rent
was $383,000 and $320,000 during the first six months of 2000 and
1999, respectively.  Same store rents generated on 918 leased
properties owned during all of both the second quarter of 2000 and
1999 increased by 0.9%, to $23.0 million from $22.8 million.  Same
store rents generated on the same 918 leased properties owned during
all of both the first six months of 2000 and 1999 increased by 1.3%,
to $46.3 million from $45.7 million.

Approximately 54% of our annualized rental revenue is attributable to
properties that were acquired over the last four and a half years.  A
majority of the leases on these acquisitions provide for rent
increases after the fifth year of the lease.  We anticipate rental
increases on some of these acquisitions to start in the second half of
the year 2000.

At June 30, 2000, 1,057 or 98.5% of the 1,073 properties in the
portfolio were under lease agreements with third party tenants.  At
June 30, 2000, we had 16 properties that were not under lease, as
compared to 17 at December 31, 1999 and eight at June 30, 1999.

Of the 16 properties not leased at June 30, 2000, we are in escrow to
sell two properties and have issued letters of intent to sell two
properties and lease four other properties.  We anticipate these eight
properties to be leased or sold during the third or fourth quarter of
2000; although we cannot assure you that all of these properties can
be sold or leased within this period.

Our portfolio of quality retail real estate owned under 10-20 year net
leases continues to perform well and provide dependable lease revenue
supporting the payment of monthly dividends.  As of June 30, 2000, our
property portfolio of 1,073 properties was 98.5% leased with only 16
properties available for lease.  During the first half of 2000 we
successfully resolved a situation involving the vacancy of nine of our
properties leased to Econo Lube 'N Tune.  This situation had nominal
impact on operating results during the first and second quarters of
2000.

During the third and fourth quarter of 2000, Realty Income anticipates
that it will have 11 properties come available for re-lease resulting
from the nonperformance of one of our other tenants.  We anticipate a
successful resolution of this situation during the third and fourth
quarter of this year.  We anticipate a net impact of less than 1/2 of
1% on lease revenue for 2000 once the situation has been resolved.

for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999 (dollars in thousands):

Interest on outstanding loans and notes was $1.4 million higher in the
second quarter of 2000 than in 1999 primarily due to an increase of
$50.8 million in the average outstanding balances and an increase of
44 basis points in our average interest rate.  During the first six
months of 2000 LIBOR has increased, which has increased the interest
rates on our credit facilities and our cost of short-term borrowings.
It is possible that economic conditions may lead to further increases
in LIBOR.

for the first six months of 2000 and 1999 (dollars in thousands):

Interest on outstanding loans and notes was $2.7 million higher during
the first six months of 2000 than in 1999 due to an increase of $49.2
million in the average outstanding balances and an increase of 33
basis points in our average interest rate.

Depreciation and amortization was $6.8 million in the second quarter
of 2000 versus $6.2 million in the second quarter of 1999.
Depreciation and amortization was $13.6 million in the first six
months of 2000 versus $12.3 million in the first six months of 1999.
The increase in 2000 was primarily due to depreciation of the 110
properties acquired during 1999.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $20,000 to $1.74
million in the second quarter of 2000 versus $1.76 million in the
second quarter of 1999.  General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue decreased to 6.1% in the second quarter of 2000
as compared to 7.0% in 1999.  Included in general and administrative
expenses are $51,000 of expenses attributable to Crest Net Lease.

General and administrative expenses increased by $18,000 to $3.42
million in the first six months of 2000 versus $3.40 million in the
first six months of 1999.  General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenue decreased to 6.0% in the first six months of
2000 as compared to 7.0% in 1999.

Property expenses are broken down into costs associated with non-net
leased multi-tenant properties, unleased single-tenant properties and
general portfolio expenses.  Expenses related to the multi-tenant and
unleased single-tenant properties include, but are not limited to,
property taxes, maintenance, insurance, utilities, property
inspections, bad debt expense and legal fees.  General portfolio costs
include, but are not limited to, insurance, legal, property
inspections and title search fees.  At June 30, 2000, 16 properties
were available for lease, as compared to 17 at December 31, 1999 and
eight at June 30, 1999.

Property expenses were $466,000 in the second quarter of 2000 and
$437,000 in 1999.  The $29,000 increase in property expenses is
primarily attributable to costs associated with properties available
for lease.  We anticipate property expenses to increase as we acquire
additional properties.

Property expenses were $981,000 in the first six months of 2000 and
$878,000 in the first six months of 1999.  The $103,000 increase in
property expenses is attributable to costs associated with properties
available for lease.

During the second quarter of 2000, we sold five properties (one
automotive parts store, two automotive service locations, one
convenience store and one restaurant) for a total of $2.1 million and
recognized a gain of $938,000.  No properties were sold in the second
quarter of 1999.

During the first six months of 2000, we sold six properties (one
automotive parts store, two automotive service locations, one
convenience store and two restaurants) for a total of $3.5 million and
recognized a gain of $1.6 million. No properties were sold in the
first six months of 1999.

As part of our active portfolio management program, we sell selected
properties on an ongoing basis in order to optimize performance and
return and improve the quality of our portfolio.  This is accomplished
by selling assets when we believe the reinvestment of the sales
proceeds will generate higher returns or to enhance the credit quality
of our real estate portfolio.  As of June 30, 2000, we held for sale
real estate with a carrying amount of $49.8 million.  Additionally, we
anticipate selling properties from our portfolio that have not yet
been specifically identified.  We anticipate we will receive up to
$100 million in proceeds from the sale of properties during the next
12 months.  We intend to invest these proceeds into new property
acquisitions.

Preferred stock dividends paid were $2.4 million in the second quarter
of 2000, as compared to $629,000 in the second quarter of 1999.
Preferred stock dividends paid were $4.9 million in the first six
months of 2000, as compared to $629,000 in the first six months of
1999.  Our outstanding preferred stock was issued during the second
and third quarters of 1999.

As a result of the foregoing, in the second quarter of 2000 and 1999,
our net income available to common stockholders increased $636,000 or
6.1% to $10.4 million versus $9.8 million in 1999.

As a result of the foregoing, in the first six months of 2000 and
1999, our net income available to common stockholders increased $1.2
million or 6.1% to $20.9 million versus $19.7 million in 1999.


PROPERTIES
----------

As of June 30, 2000, we owned a diversified portfolio of 1,073
properties located in 45 states with over 8.6 million square feet of
leasable space.  Our portfolio of retail properties is leased to 74
retail chains doing business in 23 retail industries.  At June 30,
2000, 1,050 or 97.9% of the 1,073 properties were under net lease
agreements. Net leases typically require the tenant to be responsible
for minimum monthly rent and property operating expenses including
property taxes, insurance and maintenance plus, typically, future rent
increases (generally subject to ceilings) based on increases in the
consumer price index, fixed increases or additional rent calculated as
a percentage of the tenant's gross sales above a specified level.

Our net leased retail properties are primarily leased to regional and
national retail chain store operators.  The average leasable retail
space of the 1,073 properties is approximately 8,100 square feet on
approximately 58,700 square feet of land.  Generally, buildings are
single-story properties with adequate parking on site to accommodate
peak retail traffic periods.  The properties tend to be on major
thoroughfares with relatively high traffic counts and adequate access,
egress and proximity to a sufficient population base to constitute a
suitable market or trade area for the retailer's business.

contractual base rent is used based upon the estimated total costs of
each property.

Of the 1,073 properties in the portfolio at June 30, 2000, 1,066 were
single-tenant properties with the remaining properties being multi-
tenant properties.  As of June 30, 2000, 1,050 of the 1,066 single-
tenant properties, or 98.5%, were net leased with an average remaining
lease term (excluding extension options) of approximately 8.4 years.

(1)  This table does not include seven multi-tenant properties and
sixteen vacant, unleased single-tenant properties owned by the Company
and seven properties owned by Crest Net Lease.  The lease expirations
for properties under construction are based on the estimated date of
completion of such properties.

(2)  Annualized rent is calculated by multiplying the monthly
contractual base rent as of July 1, 2000 for each of the properties by
12 and adding the previous 12 month's historic percentage rent, which
totaled $1.7 million (i.e., additional rent calculated as a percentage
of the tenant's gross sales above a specified level).  For the
properties under construction, an estimated contractual base rent is
used based upon the estimated total costs of each property.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
===================

Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a
result of increases in the tenant's sales volumes, increases in the
consumer price index, and/or fixed increases.  We expect that
inflation will cause these lease provisions to result in increases in
rent over time.  However, during times when inflation is greater than
increases in rent as provided for in the leases, rent increases may
not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Approximately 97.9% or 1,050 of the properties in the portfolio are
leased to tenants under net leases in which the tenant is responsible
for property costs and expenses.  These features in the leases reduce
our exposure to rising property expenses due to inflation.

Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact on the
tenants if increases in the tenant's operating expenses exceed
increases in revenue.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
====================================================================

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our
credit facilities and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and
expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations.  Our
interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of
interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our
overall borrowing costs.  To achieve our objectives we borrow our long
term debt primarily at fixed rates and may selectively enter into
derivative financial instruments such as interest rate lock
agreements, interest rate swaps and caps in order to mitigate our
interest rate risk on a related financial instrument.  We are not a
party to any derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2000.  We do
not enter into any transactions for speculative or trading purposes.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques.
The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted average
interest rates, fair values and other terms required by year of
expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity
to interest rate changes (dollars in table in millions).

(1) $110 million matures in 2007, $100 million matures in 2008 and $20
million matures in 2009.

(2)  We base the fair value of the fixed rate debt at June 30, 2000 on
the closing market price or indicative price per each note.  The fair
value of the variable rate debt approximates its carrying value
because its terms are similar to those available in the market place.
</FN>

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of
June 30, 2000, it does not consider those exposures or positions that
could arise after that date.  As a result, our ultimate realized gain
or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations would depend on the
exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at the
time, and interest rates.
