                        COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994


1.    Basis of Presentation:
      ---------------------

      The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
      include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
      accepted accounting principles.  The financial statements reflect all
      adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the
      opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
      the interim periods presented.  Operating results for the quarter and nine
      months ended September 30, 1995, may not be indicative of the results that
      may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.  Amounts as of
      December 31, 1994, included in the financial statements, have been derived
      from audited financial statements as of that date.

      These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K of
      Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended
      December 31, 1994.

      Earnings per share are calculated based upon the weighted average number
      of shares outstanding during each period.  Stock options outstanding are
      not included since their inclusion would not result in a material dilution
      of earnings per share.

      In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
      of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.  The
      Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
      15, 1995, provides that an entity review long-lived assets and certain
      identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment whenever
      events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
      the asset may not be recoverable.  The Company plans to adopt this
      standard in 1996 and does not expect compliance with such standard to have
      a material effect, if any, on the Company's financial position or results
      of operations.

2.    Leases:
      ------

      The Company generally leases its land and buildings to operators of major
      retail businesses.  The leases are accounted for under the provisions of
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
      As of September 30, 1995, 97 of the leases have been classified as
      operating leases and 57 leases have been classified as direct financing
      leases.  For the leases classified as direct financing leases, the
      building portions of the leases are accounted for as direct financing
      leases while the land portions of 34 of these leases are accounted for as
      operating leases.  Substantially all leases have initial terms of 15 to 20
      years (expiring between 1997 and 2018) and provide for minimum rentals. 
      In addition, the majority of the leases provide for contingent rentals
      and/or scheduled rent increases over the terms of the leases.  The tenant
      is also generally required to pay all property taxes and assessments,
      substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building and
      carry insurance coverage for public liability, property damage, fire and
      extended coverage.  The lease options generally allow tenants to renew the
      leases for two to four successive five-year periods subject to
      substantially the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

3.    Land and Buildings on Operating Leases:
      --------------------------------------

      Land and buildings on operating leases consisted of the following at:
                                         September 30,     December 31,

                                          ============     ============

      Some leases provide for escalating guaranteed minimum rent to begin in
      subsequent lease years.  Income from these scheduled rent increases is
      recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  For the
      nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company recognized
      $862,464 and $547,686, respectively, of such income.

      The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments to be
      received on noncancellable operating leases at September 30, 1995:

5.    Notes Payable:
      -------------

      On April 13, 1995, the Company entered into an amended and restated
      revolving line of credit loan agreement (the "Credit Facility") which
      expanded the lending syndicate for the Company's credit facility.  The
      Credit Facility provides the Company with $100,000,000 of borrowing
      capacity under substantially the same terms and conditions as the original
      loan agreement.  As of September 30, 1995, the outstanding principal
      balance was $72,900,000, plus accrued interest of $138,041.

6.    Debt and Equity Securities:
      --------------------------

      On July 20, 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form
      S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the issuance
      of a combination of debt and equity securities of up to $200,000,000.

7.    Related Party Transactions:
      --------------------------

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company acquired five
      properties for purchase prices totalling $10,828,581 from an affiliate of
      CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. who had developed the properties.  The purchase
      prices paid by the Company for these five properties equalled the
      affiliate's cost including development costs.  The affiliate's cost
      consisted of the land purchase prices, construction costs, various soft
      costs including legal costs, survey fees and architect fees, and
      developers fees aggregating $719,546 paid to an affiliate of CNL Realty
      Advisors, Inc.

8.    Commitments and Contingencies:
      -----------------------------

      As of September 30, 1995, the Company had entered into agreements to
      purchase 14 additional properties for an estimated aggregate amount of
      $39,225,788.  In addition, the Company was contingently liable for
      $4,153,013 related to bank letters of credit which guarantee the Company's
      obligation under purchase agreements to acquire these properties upon
      completion of development.

      As of September 30, 1995, the Company owned seven land parcels which are
      leased to tenants who are obligated to develop buildings on the respective
      land parcels.  Pursuant to each lease, the Company has agreed to purchase
      the buildings upon completion and occupancy.  The Company has agreed to
      pay an aggregate amount of up to $17,267,137 upon completion of the
      buildings.

9.    Subsequent Event:
      ----------------

      In October 1995, the Company entered into two long-term, fixed rate
      mortgage commitments for loans totalling $52,600,000.  One loan is a four-
      year $13,150,000 mortgage with interest payable monthly and principal
      payable at maturity and will bear interest at a rate of 125 basis points
      over comparable U.S. Treasuries.  The other loan is a ten-year $39,450,000
      mortgage with principal and interest payable monthly and will bear
      interest at a rate of 175 basis points over U.S. Treasuries.  Each
      mortgage will be secured by a first lien on and an assignment of rents and
      leases of certain of the Company's properties.  Consummation of the loans
      is subject to consent by the Company's line of credit lenders.




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

Introduction
- ------------

      Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is an equity real estate
investment trust that acquires, owns and manages high-quality, freestanding
properties leased to major retail businesses under long-term commercial net
leases.  As of September 30, 1995, the Company owned 154 properties (the
"Properties") each of which are leased to major retail businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      General.  Historically, the Company's only demand for funds has been for
the payment of operating expenses and dividends, for property acquisitions and
for the payment of interest on its outstanding indebtedness.  Generally, cash
needs for items other than property acquisitions have been met from operations
and property acquisitions have been funded by equity offerings, bank borrowings
and, to a lesser extent, from internally generated funds.  Potential future
sources of capital include proceeds from the public or private offering of the
Company's debt or equity securities, borrowings under the Company's Credit
Facility or other secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders,
or the sale of Properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company generated
$10,310,057 and $6,834,664, respectively, in net cash provided by operating
activities.  The increase in cash from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994, is
primarily a result of changes in revenues and expenses as discussed in "Results
of Operations."

      The Company's leases typically provide that the tenant bears
responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses associated with
ongoing maintenance and operation, including utilities, property taxes and
insurance.  In addition, the Company's leases generally provide that the tenant
is responsible for roof and structural repairs.  Certain of the Company's
Properties are subject to leases under which the Company retains responsibility
for certain costs and expenses associated with the Property.  Because many of
the Properties which are subject to leases that place these responsibilities on
the Company are recently constructed, management anticipates that capital
demands to meet obligations with respect to these Properties will be minimal for
the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working
capital.  The Company may be required to use bank borrowings or other sources of
capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.

      Indebtedness.  In April 1995, the Company entered into an amended and
restated loan agreement (the "Credit Facility") which expanded the lending
syndicate for the Company's credit facility.  The Credit Facility allows the
Company to borrow up to $100,000,000 at an interest rate equal to 170 basis
points above LIBOR or the lender's prime rate, whichever the Company selects.
The principal balance is due in full upon termination of the Credit Facility
on June 30, 1997, and interest is payable quarterly.  As of September 30, 1995,
$72,900,000 was outstanding under the Credit Facility.

      The Credit Facility primarily will be used to invest in freestanding
retail properties, although up to $10,000,000 of the available credit may be
used for the issuance of standby letters of credit or working capital.  Payments
of principal on advances outstanding under the Credit Facility are expected to
be met from the proceeds of renewing or refinancing the Credit Facility,
proceeds from the public or private offering of the Company's debt or equity
securities, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders or
proceeds from the sale of one or more of its Properties.

      As a means to reduce its exposure to rising interest rates on the
Company's variable rate Credit Facility, the Company has entered into an
interest rate cap agreement which provides for a LIBOR rate of 7.25% per annum
on a notional amount of $25,000,000.  This agreement is effective through June
1996.

      In October 1995, the Company entered into two long-term, fixed rate
mortgage commitments for loans totalling $52,600,000.  One loan is a four-year
$13,150,000 mortgage with interest payable monthly and principal payable at
maturity and will bear interest at a rate of 125 basis points over comparable
U.S. Treasuries.  The other loan is a ten-year $39,450,000 mortgage with
principal and interest payable monthly and will bear interest at a rate of 175
basis points over U.S. Treasuries.  Each mortgage will be secured by a first
lien on and an assignment of rents and leases of certain of the Company's
Properties.  Proceeds from the loans will be used to pay down a portion of the
outstanding indebtedness under the Company's Credit Facility.  Consummation of
the loans is subject to consent by the Company's line of credit lenders.

      Debt and Equity Securities.  In July 1995, the Company filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits
the issuance of debt and equity securities of up to $200,000,000.  Any
securities issued under the registration statement may be offered from time to
time in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be determined at the time of the
offering.  Proceeds from any offering of these securities would be used for
general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of certain
indebtedness or the acquisition, expansion or improvement of properties.

      Property Acquisitions and Commitments.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the Company borrowed $56,700,000 of amounts it has available
under its Credit Facility to acquire 26 Properties and four buildings which were
developed by the tenant on land parcels owned by the Company.  The 26 Properties
included nine Hi-Lo  Automotive  Stores,  five  Barnes & Nobles bookstores,
three Eckerd drugstores, three Academy sporting good stores, two Scotty's home
improvement stores, one Levitz furniture store, one Borders bookstore, one
OfficeMax office supply store and one Food 4 Less grocery store.  The four
buildings included three Barnes & Nobles bookstores and one CompUSA computer
store.  In addition, the Company borrowed $1,400,000 to fund the acquisition of
two Properties acquired during December 1994.

      As of September 30, 1995, the Company had entered into agreements to
purchase 14 additional properties for an estimated aggregate amount of
$39,225,788.  In addition, the Company is contingently liable for $4,153,013
related to bank letters of credit which guarantee the Company's obligation under
purchase agreements to acquire these properties upon completion of the
development of the properties.  The purchase of these properties is subject to
conditions relating to completion of development activities, review of title and
obtaining title insurance, engineering and environmental inspections and other
matters.

      In addition, as of September 30, 1995, the Company owned seven land
parcels which are leased to tenants who are obligated to develop buildings on
the respective land parcels.  Pursuant to each lease, the Company has agreed to
purchase the buildings upon completion and occupancy for an aggregate amount of
up to $17,267,137.

      In addition to the 26 properties under contract and the seven buildings
under construction, the Company is currently negotiating the acquisition of
prospective properties.  The Company may elect to acquire these prospective
properties or other additional properties (or interests therein) in the future. 
Such property acquisitions, if any, are expected to be the primary demand for
additional capital during the next two years.  The Company anticipates that it
may engage in equity or debt financing, through either public or private
offerings of its securities for cash, issuance of such securities in exchange
for assets, or a combination of the foregoing.  Subject to the constraints
imposed by the Credit Facility, the Company may enter into additional financing
arrangements.

      Management believes that the Company's current capital resources
(including cash on hand), coupled with the Company's borrowing capacity, are
sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

      Dividends.  One of the Company's primary objectives, consistent with its
policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes,
is to distribute a substantial portion of its funds available from operations to
its stockholders in the form of dividends.  During the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company paid dividends to its stockholders of 
$10,147,395 and  $6,514,121,  respectively, or $.87 and $.85 per share of common
stock, respectively.  In September 1995, the Company declared dividends to its
stockholders of $3,382,465 or $.29 per share of common stock, payable in
November 1995.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company
owned and leased 154 and 106 Properties, respectively, to operators of major
retail businesses.  In connection therewith, during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company earned $14,017,773 and $7,640,888,
respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from
direct financing leases, $5,298,698 and $2,928,937 of which was earned during
the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase in
rental and earned income during the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1995, is primarily attributable to the income earned on the Properties acquired
during 1994 and the 26 Properties acquired and four buildings upon which
construction was completed during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 
Rental and earned income are expected to increase as the Company acquires
additional properties and due to the fact that the 12 Properties and one
building acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 1995 will contribute to
the Company's income for a full fiscal quarter in future quarters.

      For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company also
earned $579,055 and $638,477, respectively, in contingent rental income,
$199,091 and $216,422 of which was earned during the quarters ended September
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Contingent rental income decreased primarily
as a result of a decrease in the aggregate net sales of restaurants currently
paying contingent rent during the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1995, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, two of the Company's
lessees (or group of affiliated lessees), (i) Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc.
and (ii) Denny's, Inc. and Flagstar Enterprises, Inc. (which are affiliated
entities under common control) (hereinafter referred to as Flagstar), each
accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's total rental income.  As of
September 30, 1995, Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc. was the lessee under leases
relating to nine Properties and Flagstar was the lessee under leases relating to
24 Properties.  It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments
required by the leases and estimated contingent rental income, Barnes & Noble
Superstores, Inc. and Flagstar will continue to account for more than ten
percent of the Company's total rental income during the remainder of 1995.  Any
failure of these lessees could materially affect the Company's income.

      The Company incurred $2,335,471 and $412,246 in interest expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, $1,244,801 and
$314,245 of which was incurred for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Interest expense increased during the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1994, as the result of higher average borrowing levels
during such periods.  As a means to reduce its exposure to variable rate debt,
the Company has entered into an interest rate cap agreement as described above
in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

      During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, other operating
expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense, were $2,941,619 and
$2,070,344, respectively (20.0% and 24.6%, respectively, of gross operating
revenues), of which $1,063,471 and $651,698 (19.2% and 20.6%, respectively, of
gross operating revenues) were incurred for the quarters ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase in the dollar amount of other
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, is primarily attributable to the
increase in depreciation as a result of the depreciation of the additional
Properties acquired during 1994 and the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 
The increase is also attributable to increased advisory fees as a result of
increased funds from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 
However, the increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, as a result of the legal fees and expenses incurred during
the nine months ended September 30, 1994, in connection with the Company's
reorganization in the State of Maryland.
