                                    PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

      Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") is
a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") which was incorporated in 1984 in
the State of Delaware.  In June 1994, the Company reincorporated in the State
of Maryland.  The Company acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio
of high-quality, freestanding properties leased to major retail businesses
under long-term commercial net leases.

      The Company's strategy is to invest in single-tenant, freestanding
retail properties with purchase prices of generally up to $5 million, which
typically are located along intensive commercial corridors near traffic
generators, such as regional malls, business developments and major
thoroughfares.  Management believes that these types of properties when leased
to high-quality tenants with significant market presence provide attractive
opportunities for a stable current return and the potential for capital
appreciation.  In management's view, these types of properties also provide
the Company with flexibility in use and tenant selection when the Properties
are re-let upon lease expiration.

      The Company will hold its properties until it determines that the sale
or other disposition of the properties is advantageous in view of the
Company's investment objectives.  In deciding whether to sell properties, the
Company will consider factors such as potential capital appreciation, net cash
flow and federal income tax considerations.

Properties

      During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company borrowed
$67,400,000 of amounts it has available under its credit facility to acquire
29 properties and four buildings which were developed by the tenant on land
parcels owned by the Company.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company owned 157
properties (the "Properties") that are leased to major businesses, including
Academy, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Blockbuster Music, Borders, Burger King,
Checkers, CompUSA, Computer City, Denny's, Eckerd, Food 4 Less, Food Lion,
Golden Corral, Good Guys, Hardee's, Hi-Lo Automotive, International House of
Pancakes, Levitz, Linens 'n Things, Marshalls, Office Depot, OfficeMax,
Oshmans, Pier 1 Imports, Pizza Hut, Scotty's, Sears, Waccamaw and Wendy's. 
The occupancy rate of the Company's Property portfolio was 100 percent at
December 31, 1995.

      All of the Properties are leased under net leases pursuant to which the
tenant typically will bear responsibility for substantially all property costs
and expenses associated with ongoing maintenance and operation.  The lease of
each of the Company's Properties require payment of annual base rent plus,
generally, either percentage rent based on the tenant's gross sales or
contractual increases in annual rent.

      During 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 December 31, 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. will continue to account for more than ten percent of the Company's total
rental income in 1996.  Any failure of this lessee could materially affect the
Company's income.

Investment in Subsidiaries

      In November 1995, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of two
newly-formed entities, Net Lease Realty I, Inc. and Net Lease Realty II, Inc.
to facilitate the acquisition of certain properties.  Each of the wholly-owned
subsidiaries is a qualified real estate investment trust subsidiary as defined
under Internal Revenue Code Section 856(i)(2).

Advisory Services

      The Company and CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. have entered into an advisory
agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"), which provides for CNL Realty Advisors,
Inc. to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to seven percent of
funds from operations, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, up to
$10,000,000, six percent of funds from operations in excess of $10,000,000 but
less than $20,000,000 and five percent of funds from operations in excess of
$20,000,000.  Under the Advisory Agreement, CNL Realty Advisors, Inc.
generally is responsible for administering the day-to-day investment
operations of the Company, including investment analysis and development,
acquisitions, due diligence, and asset management and accounting services. 
These duties include collecting rental payments, inspecting and managing the
Properties, assisting the Company in responding to tenant inquiries and
notices, providing information to the Company about the status of the leases
and the Properties, maintaining the Company's accounting books and records,
and preparing and filing various reports, returns or statements with various
regulatory agencies.  In addition, CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. serves as the
Company's consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by the
Board of Directors, manages the Company's Properties and renders other
services as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  CNL Realty Advisors,
Inc. is subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of Directors and has
only such functions as are delegated to it.

      The Advisory Agreement was renewed January 1, 1996 and continues until
January 1997, and thereafter may be extended annually upon mutual consent of a
majority of the board of directors of CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. and a majority
of the independent directors of the Company unless terminated at an earlier
date upon 90 days' prior notice by either party.

Competition

      The Company generally competes with other REITs, real estate limited
partnerships and other investors, including but not limited to, insurance
companies, pension funds and financial institutions, in the acquisition,
leasing, financing and disposition of investments in net-leased retail
properties.

Employees

      Reference is made to Item 10.  Directors and Executive Officers of the
Registrant for a listing of the Company's Executive Officers.  The Company has
no other employees.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

      As of December 31, 1995, the Company owned 157 Properties located in 26
states.  Reference is made to the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated
Depreciation filed with this Report for a listing of the Properties and their
respective costs.

Description of Properties

      Land.  The Company's Property sites range from approximately 12,000 to
286,000 square feet depending upon building size and local demographic
factors.  Sites purchased by the Company are in locations zoned for commercial
use which have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume.  Land costs
range from approximately $36,500 to $3,570,000.

      Buildings.  The buildings generally are rectangular and are constructed
from various combinations of stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile.  Building
sizes range from approximately 1,000 to 56,000 square feet.  Building costs
range from approximately $195,000 to $6,062,000 for each Property, depending
upon the size of the building and the site and the area in which the Property
is located.  Generally, the Properties owned by the Company are freestanding,
with paved parking areas.

      Leases.  Although there are variations in the specific terms of the
leases, the following is a summarized description of the general structure of
the Company's leases.  Generally, the leases of the Properties owned by the
Company provide for initial terms of 15 to 20 years.  As of December 31, 1995,
the average remaining lease term was approximately 14 years.  All of the
Properties are leased under net leases pursuant to which the tenant typically
will bear responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses
associated with ongoing maintenance and operation, including utilities,
property taxes and insurance.  In addition, the majority of the Company's
leases provide that the tenant is responsible for roof and structural repairs. 
The leases of the Properties provide for annual base rental payments (payable
in monthly installments) ranging from $23,952 to $910,132.  Generally, the
leases provide for either percentage rent or contractual increases in annual
rent.  Leases which provide for contractual increases in annual rent generally
have increases which range from six to 12 percent after every five years of
the lease term.  In addition, for those leases which provide for the payment
of percentage rent, such rent is generally one to eight percent of the
tenants' annual gross sales, less the amount of annual base rent payable in
that lease year.  As of December 31, 1995, leases representing approximately
68 percent of annual base rent include contractual increases, leases
representing approximately 44 percent of annual base rent include percentage
rent provisions and leases representing approximately 23 percent of annual
base rent include both contractual and percentage rent provisions.

      Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two, three or four
five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the
initial lease.  Some of the leases also provide that, in the event the Company
wishes to sell the Property subject to that lease, the Company first must
offer the lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and
conditions, and for the same price, as any offer which the Company has
received for the sale of the Property.

      The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to
any of the Properties in the Company Portfolio that it believes would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's assets or financial condition.

      The Company's principal executive offices are located at 400 E. South
Street, Suite 500, Orlando, Florida 32801, where it occupies office space
provided to it free of charge by CNL Realty Advisors, Inc., the Company's
advisor.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is a defendant in a law suit filed on October 26, 1994, in
the Circuit Court, Hamilton County, Tennessee, whereby the plaintiff is
alleging that a flooding problem on the property adjacent to the Company's
Property in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a result of the construction of the
building and parking lot on the Company's Property and is seeking damages of
$400,000.  Management intends to vigorously contest these claims and believes
that, if the Company were to be held liable for any damages, such damages
would be covered by insurance.

      The Company is also a defendant in a law suit filed on December 20,
1994, in the Circuit Court, Knox County, Tennessee, and in the Circuit Court,
Greene County, Tennessee, by the surviving spouse of a patron of the Company's
Property in Tusculum, Tennessee.  The plaintiff is alleging that the Company
was negligent in the design and control of the parking lot on the Company's
Property and is seeking damages of $2,500,000.  Management intends to
vigorously contest these claims and to seek full indemnification from the
tenant.  Management believes that, if the Company were to be held liable for
any damages, such damages would be covered by insurance.

      The Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings which,
in the opinion of the Company and its general counsel, is likely to have a
material adverse effect upon the Company's business or financial condition.

      2.01  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default exists under
the Note or Mortgage, Lender agrees, upon the request of Borrower, to release
the lien of the Loan Documents from any property which comprises a portion of

            A.    Borrower shall grant to Lender a valid, perfected first
      mortgage lien on a parcel of real property (a "Substitute Premises")
      whose value and net operating income is equal to or greater than the
      value and net operating income of the property for which a release is
      requested and the tenant of which Substitute Premises has a credit
      rating equal to or better than the tenant or guarantor, as applicable,
      of the property for which a release is requested, all as determined by
      Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

            B.    Borrower shall satisfy with respect to the Substitute
      Premises all of the conditions of closing for the Premises set forth in
      the Commitment, including, without limitation, approval by Lender of the

thereof, and Exhibit A hereto shall be automatically adjusted to add such
Substitute Premises and delete any released portion of the Premises, without
any further action by Borrower and Lender.

      2.03  In the event Lender from time to time accepts any Substitute

      and principal amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  The U.S.
      Treasury securities provided to Lender must have a cash flow at least
      equal to or greater than the required monthly payments of principal and
      interest and the balloon payment at maturity under the terms of the 
      Note.

            B.    In connection with a substitution of U.S. Treasury
      securities for the Premises, Borrower shall pay Lender a processing fee
      of $10,000.00.  In addition, Borrower shall pay for all of Lender s
      costs and fees incurred in connection with such substitution of
      collateral, including without limitation, outside legal counsel fees.

      transaction, and shall take all actions reasonably required by Lender in
      furtherance of the requested substitution of collateral.

         ------------------------------------------------------------

      4.01  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default exists under
the Note or Mortgage, Lender agrees upon the request of Borrower to release
the lien of the Loan Documents from any property which comprises a portion of
the Premises upon the following conditions:

            A.    Borrower shall prepay to Lender 125% of the principal
      balance of the Loan allocated to such portion of the Premises, as such
      amount is originally set forth on Exhibit B as such amount may be
      increased or reduced from time to time as herein described, plus a Make
      Whole Premium calculated on the amount of such prepayment; and, upon
      such prepayment the monthly payment under the Note shall be reduced
      accordingly.

            B.    So long as no Event of Default exists under the Note or the
      Mortgage, upon receipt by Lender of monthly installments of principal,
      the portion of such principal payment equal to the percentage of the
      principal balance of the Note allocated to each property comprising the
      Premises as set forth on Exhibit B, and as adjusted from time to time
      pursuant to the provision of Section 2.03 above, shall be applied pro
      rata to reduce such allocated principal amount of each property. 
      Similarly, so long as no Event of Default exists under the Note or the
      Mortgage, upon receipt of a prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01A, only
      the portion of such prepayment in excess of the 100% allocated Loan
      amount (exclusive of the Make Whole Premium) shall be allocated pro rata
      to all remaining properties in accordance with the ratio of the
      percentages contained on Exhibit B, exclusive of the allocation to the
      property being released as a result of such prepayment, as the same may
      be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03
      above.  Upon the written request of Borrower from time to time, Lender
      shall confirm the allocated Loan amount of each property.

                 CONDITIONAL RECOURSE; KMART LEASE GUARANTIES
              --------------------------------------------------

      5.01. The obligations of each Lessee of portions of the Premises
described as Store Numbers 84 (OfficeMax, Dallas, Texas), 99 (OfficeMax,
Cincinnati, Ohio). 126 (Borders, Wilmington, Delaware) and 134 (Borders,
Richmond, Virginia) are guaranteed by Kmart Corporation ("Kmart"), each
pursuant to the terms of a written Lease Guaranty (each a "Kmart Guaranty" and
collectively, the "Kmart Guaranties").

      5.02  Lender required as a condition of funding the Loan that Borrower
provide to Lender the written affirmation of Kmart s obligations pursuant to
the Kmart Guaranties.  Borrower has of yet been unable to obtain the written
affirmation of Kmart.

      5.03  Notwithstanding any exculpation of Borrower contained herein or in
any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, until such time as Borrower
provides a written affirmation of Kmart reasonably acceptable to Lender with
respect to any of the Kmart Guaranties, at any time following an Event of
Default by the Lessee under any of the leases which is the subject of any
Kmart Guaranty, Kmart denies liability under such Kmart Guaranty on account of
the lack of due execution or delivery thereof, or on account of the release of
Kmart thereunder for any reason whatsoever other than strictly in accordance
with the terms thereof, Borrower, but not its shareholders, officers,
directors, employees or agents, shall be personally liable to Lender for 125%
of the amount set forth on Exhibit B which is allocated to the respective
portion of the Premises which is the subject of such Kmart Guaranty, plus the
Make Whole Premium calculated on such amount had such amount been prepaid as
of the date of the Event of Default.  Borrower s liability hereunder shall
continue notwithstanding any action or inaction by Borrower or the Lessee
under the respective lease, whether or not Lender is deemed secure from other
sources, and whether or not Borrower or Lender chooses to pursue any remedies
against the respective Lessee for its default.  The provisions of this Article
5 shall terminate as to each particular portion of the Premises subject hereto
upon Lender s receipt of the aforesaid satisfactory evidence of the
affirmation of the applicable Kmart Guaranty.

      6.01  The portion of the Premises described as store Number 40 (Sears,
Orlando, Florida) is occupied by Sears, Roebuck & Co. ("Sears") pursuant to
the terms of a written lease dated December 10, 1990 (the "Sears Lease").
Lender required as a condition of funding the Loan that Borrower provide to
Lender a written ratification of the Sears Lease by Sears.  Borrower has of
yet been unable to obtain such a written ratification.

      6.02  Notwithstanding any exculpation of Borrower contained herein or in
any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, until such time as Borrower
provides Lender with a written ratification of the Sears Lease by Sears
reasonably acceptable to Lender, in the event Sears denies liability under the
Sears Lease on account of lack of due execution by the Landlord thereunder,
Borrower, but not its shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents,
shall be personally liable to Lender for 125% of the amount set forth on
Exhibit B which is allocated to Store Number 40, as such amount may be
modified from time to time,  plus the Make Whole Premium calculated on such
amount had such amount been prepaid as of the date Sears claims that the Sears
Lease is unenforceable on account of lack of due execution by the Landlord
thereunder.

      7.01  Lender acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, a
portion of the roof of Store Number 126 (Borders, Wilmington, Delaware) was
damaged as a result of excessive snow and ice build-up on the roof of the
building.  A portion of the roof over the rear of the building partially
collapsed.  The store is temporarily closed pending reconstruction by Border s
Inc. ("Borders") pursuant to its Lease (the "Borders' Lease").  Borders
remains obligated to pay rent during any period of reconstruction in
accordance with the terms of the Borders Lease.

      7.02  Notwithstanding the casualty damage to such portion of the
Premises (the "Delaware Site"), Lender is willing to fund the Loan and include
the Delaware Site as security therefor, provided that Borrower also grant to
Lender as additional security for the Loan, a Deed of Trust  or other security
interest in Store Number 106 (Barnes & Noble, Denver, Colorado) (the "Colorado
Site").

      7.03  Upon the written request of Borrower, provided Borrower is not
then in default under any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents, Lender agrees to release the lien of the Loan Documents from
the Colorado Site upon the receipt of Lender of the following:

            A.    The written certification of an architect reasonably
      acceptable to Lender licensed in the State of Delaware that the
      improvements on the Delaware Site have been reconstructed substantially
      in compliance with the plans and specifications therefor.

            B.    A certificate of occupancy or other similar permit issued by
      each governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Delaware Site
      from which such a certificate is required for the operation by Borders
      of its store thereon.

            C.    Written estoppel letter from Borders, in substantially the
      same form as was delivered to Lender in connection with the funding of
      the Loan, confirming that:

                  1.    its store operated pursuant to the Borders' Lease is
                        open for business with the public;

                  2.    the reconstruction of the Store has been completed to
                        Borders' satisfaction; and

                  3.    the Borders  Lease remains in full force and effect,
                        without any amendment or modification and with no
                        default thereunder by Borders or Borrower.

            D.    Evidence that the cost of reconstruction of its store has
      been fully paid for in the form of either (i) an estoppel letter from
      Borders, (ii) title insurance against potential liens for any
      reconstruction related work, or (iii) a cash escrow or other reasonable
      assurance against mechanics liens reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

            E.    An endorsement to Lender s title insurance policy updating
      the mechanic's lien coverage on the Delaware Site to include the date of
      the release of lien on the Colorado Site.

            F.    A site inspection report of the Delaware Site and its
      improvements satisfactory to Lender made by any employee or employees of
      Lender, independent contractor or contractors, or any combination
      thereof confirming any or all of the foregoing.

            G.    Payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
      Lender in connection with any of the foregoing, as well as an
      administrative release fee equal to $2,500.00.

            H.    Such other items as Lender may reasonably request.

      occurrence set forth below:

      (a)   in the event of any amendment, modification or termination by
            Borrower of the particular Lease (as defined in the Mortgage, Deed
            to Secure Debt or Deed of Trust with respect to the Applicable
            Portion of the Premises) for the Applicable Portion of the
            Premises without the prior written consent of Lender;

      (b)   in the event the Lessee (as defined in the Mortgage, Deed to
            Secure Debt or Deed of Trust with respect to the Applicable
            Portion of the Premises) under the particular Lease for the
            Applicable Portion of the Premises is not obligated to notify
            Lender of a default by Borrower and Borrower defaults under said
            Lease and Lender does not receive notice of said default following
            the occurrence thereof within a reasonable period of time to
            effect cure of said default; or

      (c)   in the event Borrower violates any exclusive use or non-compete
            provision granted to the Lessee under the particular Lease for the
            Applicable Portion of the Premises.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Loan Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

            reference to the undersigned.  If on the date of the
            first installment, interest is accrued for more or
            less than one installment period, the amount of said
            installment shall be increased or decreased by the
            amount that the interest accrued exceeds or is less
            than the interest for one installment period based on
            the actual number of days elapsed to the date of said
            installment.  All principal and interest shall be paid
            in lawful money of the United States of America.

      No privilege is reserved by the undersigned to prepay any principal of
      this Note prior to the Maturity Date, except as expressly set forth in
      that certain Loan Agreement dated this date (the "Loan Agreement") made
      by and between the undersigned and Principal Mutual Life Insurance
      Company, and except that anytime after the date hereof, so long as no
      default or Event of Default exists under this Note or any instrument by
      which it is secured, privilege is reserved, after giving sixty (60)
      days' prior written notice to the holder of this Note, to prepay in
      full, but not in part, all principal and interest to the date of
      payment, along with all sums, amounts, advances, or charges due under
      any instrument or agreement by which this Note is secured, upon the
      payment of a "Make Whole Premium."  From the date hereof up to and
      including February 15, 2000, the "Make Whole Premium" shall be the
      greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the principal amount to be prepaid,
      or (b) the excess, if any, of:

      (i)   the aggregate present value as of the date of payment or
      prepayment noticed as set forth above (hereinafter, the "Payment Date")
      of each dollar of principal being paid or prepaid (taking into account
      the application of such prepayment as set forth herein) and the amount
      of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the Payment Date) that
      would have been payable in respect of such dollar of principal being
      paid or prepaid if such payment or prepayment had not been made,
      determined by discounting such amounts monthly at a rate which is equal
      to the "Treasury Rate" from the due date of this Note, plus fifty (50)
      basis points, over

      (ii)  100% of the principal amount being paid or prepaid.

      From February 16, 2000 through the Maturity Date the Make Whole Premium
      shall be the amount, if any, calculated in the immediately preceding
      paragraph without regard to the 1% minimum.

      The "Treasury Rate" will be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields
      to maturity converted to a monthly equivalent of United States Treasury
      obligations with a constant maturity (as compiled by and published in
      the United States Federal Reserve Bulletin [H.R. 15] (hereinafter "H.R.
      15") or its successor publication for each of the two weeks immediately
      preceding the Payment Date) most nearly equal to the remaining "Weighted
      Average Life to Maturity" of this Note as of the Payment Date.  If the
      yields referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have been so
      published, the yields corresponding to the Payment Date shall be
      calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the arithmetic means
      of the secondary market ask rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New
      York City time, on the last business days of each of the two weeks
      preceding the Payment Date, for the actively traded U.S. Treasury
      security or securities with a maturity or maturities most closely
      corresponding to the "Weighted Average Life to Maturity", as reported by
      three primary United States Government securities dealers in New York
      City of national standing selected in good faith by the holder of this
      Note.  If no maturity exactly corresponding to such remaining "Weighted
      Average Life to Maturity" should appear therein, yields for the next
      longer and the next shorter published maturities shall be calculated
      pursuant to the foregoing sentence and the Treasury Rate shall be
      interpolated from such yields on a straight-line basis (rounding to the
      nearest month).

      The "Weighted Average Life to Maturity" with respect to this Note means,
      at the Payment Date, the number of years obtained by dividing the
      "Remaining Dollar-years" of this Note by the outstanding principal
      amount hereof.  "Remaining Dollar-years" means the sum of the product
      obtained by multiplying (A) the amount of each then remaining required
      principal repayment (including repayment of any principal at the due
      date of this Note) by (B) the number of years (rounded to the nearest
      one-twelfth) which will elapse between the Payment Date and the date
      such required payment is due.

      The undersigned agrees that if the holder of this Note accelerates the
whole or any part of the principal sum evidenced hereby, or applies any
proceeds as if such application had been made as a result of such
acceleration, pursuant to the provisions of those certain mortgages and/or
deeds of trust of even date herewith between the undersigned and Principal
Mutual Life Insurance Company (collectively, the "Mortgage"), the undersigned
waives any right to prepay said principal sum in whole or in part without
premium and agrees to pay, as  yield maintenance protection and not as a
penalty, the "Make Whole Premium" defined herein.

      Time is of the essence with respect to the payment of this Note.

      If any payment of principal, interest or premium is not made when due,
damages will be incurred by the holder of this Note, including additional
expense in handling overdue payments, the amount of which is difficult and
impractical to ascertain.  The undersigned therefore agrees to pay, upon
demand, the sum of four cents ($.04) for each one dollar ($1.00) of each said
payment which becomes overdue  as a reasonable estimate of the amount of said
damages, subject, however, to the limitations contained in the second
immediately succeeding paragraph.  

      If any payment of principal, interest or premium is not made for a
period exceeding ten (10) days after due, or if any Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing under any instrument by which this Note is, or may
hereafter be, secured, the entire principal balance, interest then accrued,
and premium, whether or not otherwise then due, shall at the option of the
holder of this Note, become immediately due and payable without demand or
notice, and whether or not the holder of this Note has exercised said option,
interest shall accrue on the entire principal balance, interest then accrued,
and any premium then due, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) four percent
(4%) per annum above the then applicable rate of interest payable under this
Note or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by applicable law until fully paid or if
the holder of this Note has not exercised said option, for the duration of
such Event of Default.

      Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the Loan Documents
(hereinafter defined) to the contrary, no provision contained herein or
therein which purports to obligate the undersigned to pay any amount of
interest or any fees, costs or expenses which are in excess of the maximum
permitted by applicable law, shall be effective to the extent it calls for the
payment of any interest or other amount in excess of such maximum.  Any such
excess shall, if inadvertently collected, be credited as a reduction of
principal, effective as of the date inadvertently collected.  Any payment of
principal in excess of the then outstanding principal balance resulting from
the inadvertent collection of interest shall be refunded to the undersigned,
effective as of the date inadvertently collected, together with interest at
the rate specified in Subsection 687.04(2) of the Florida Statutes or any
successor statute.  All agreements between the undersigned and the holder
hereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral,
are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of demand for
payment or acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the
interest contracted for, charged or received by the holder hereof exceed the
maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstance
whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the holder hereof in excess
of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the holder hereof shall
be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from
any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed
interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount
equal to any excessive interest shall, at the option of the holder hereof, be
applied to the reduction of the principal hereof and not to the payment of
interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal hereof such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned.  This
paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned and the holder
hereof.

      The undersigned and any endorsers or guarantors waive presentment,
protest and demand, notice of protest, demand and dishonor and nonpayment and
notice of acceleration and notice of intent to accelerate maturity, and agree
the due date of this Note or any installment may be extended without affecting
any liability hereunder, and further promise to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorney's and paralegal s fees, incurred by the holder
hereof in connection with any default or in any proceeding (whether incurred
in any trial, appellate, bankruptcy, condemnation or any other proceeding) to
interpret and/or enforce any provision of this Note or any instrument by which
it is secured.  No release of the undersigned from liability hereunder shall
release any other maker, endorser or guarantor hereof.

      This Note is secured by instruments and agreements of even date herewith
executed and delivered by the undersigned to Principal Mutual Life Insurance
Company creating among other things legal and valid encumbrances on and an
assignment of all of the undersigned's interest in any leases of certain
Premises set forth on Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, as such Exhibit may be
adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement
(collectively, the "Premises").  Terms used herein which are defined in such
instruments or agreements and not otherwise defined herein have the same
definition as in such instruments and agreements.  In no event shall such
documents be construed inconsistently with the terms of this Note, and in the
event of any discrepancy between any such documents and this Note, the terms
hereof shall govern.  The proceeds of this Note are to be used for business,
commercial, investment or other similar purposes, and no portion thereof will
be used for any personal, family or household use.  This Note shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

      Notwithstanding  any provision to the contrary in this Note, the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage, or any other instrument or agreement by which this
Note is secured (collectively referred to herein as the "Loan Documents"), and
except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the liability of the
undersigned under the Loan Documents shall be limited to the interest of the
undersigned  in the Premises and the rents, issues, proceeds and profits
thereof.  In the event of foreclosure of the liens evidenced by the Loan
Documents, no judgment for any deficiency upon the indebtedness evidenced by
the Loan Documents shall be sought or obtained by the holder of this Note
against the undersigned .  Nothing contained in this paragraph shall:

      (a)   prevent the failure of the undersigned to make any payment or to
            perform any obligation under any of the Loan Documents within the
            time periods provided therein from being an Event of Default
            thereunder;

      (b)   be construed as limiting the obligations of the undersigned to any
            lessee under any lease of the Premises;

      (c)   in any way limit or impair the lien or enforcement of the Loan
            Documents pursuant to the terms thereof; or 

      (d)   limit the obligations of any indemnitor or guarantor, if any, of
            obligations of the undersigned under the Loan Documents.

shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents,  shall be personally
liable to the holder of this Note for:

      (a)   failure of the undersigned to comply with paragraphs 2 (taxes and
            assessments) and 3 (insurance) of the Mortgage [or in connection
            with the Georgia Deed to Secure Debt, paragraphs 1.02 (taxes,
            liens and other charges) and 1.03 (insurance)] with respect to
            amounts accruing prior to a Sale of the Premises, as defined
            below;

      (b)   any event or circumstance for which the undersigned indemnifies

      of the amount set forth on Exhibit B to the Loan Agreement, as may be
      adjusted from time to time, which is allocated to the respective portion
      of the Premises (the  Applicable Portion of the Premises ), plus the
      Make Whole Premium calculated on such amount had such amount been
      prepaid as of the date of the occurrence set forth below:

      (a)   in the event of any amendment, modification or termination by the

            Deed to Secure Debt or Deed of Trust with respect to the

     1992.  Additionally, $55,926 of "other" income representing partial
     repayment of third quarter 1992 dividends is excluded from funds from
     operations.  Funds from operations for 1991 exclude $152,622 of special
     nonrecurring expenses as discussed in the preceding footnote.  Funds
     from operations are generally considered by industry analysts to be the
     most appropriate measure of performance and do not necessarily represent
     cash provided by operating activities in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles and are not necessarily indicative of
     cash available to meet cash needs.





1995 ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 6

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is
a real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1984 that acquires, owns and
manages high-quality, freestanding properties leased to major retail
businesses under long-term commercial net leases.  As of December 31, 1995,
the Company owned 157 properties (the "Properties") that are leased to major
retail businesses, including Academy, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Blockbuster
Music, Borders, Burger King, CompUSA, Computer City, Denny's, Eckerd, Food 4
Less, Food Lion, Golden Corral restaurants, Good Guys, Hardee's, Hi-Lo
Automotive, International House of Pancakes, Levitz, Linens 'n Things,
Marshalls, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Oshmans, Pier 1 Imports, Sears Homelife
Centers, Scotty's and Waccamaw.


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, secured or unsecured borrowings from
banks or other lenders, or the sale of Properties, as well as undistributed
funds from operations.  For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
the Company generated $14,139,777, $9,504,596 and $3,750,042, respectively, in
net cash provided by operating activities.  The increase in cash from
operations for the year ended December 31, 1995, is primarily a result of
changes in revenues and expenses as discussed in "Results of Operations."

Properties acquired by the Company are generally newly constructed as of the
time of acquisition.  Accordingly, the average age of the buildings in the
Company portfolio (the "Company Portfolio") is approximately three years.  In
addition, the Company acquires only properties that are subject to a lease in
order to avoid the risks inherent in initial leasing.  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 ("triple-net" leases), and
generally also provide that the tenant is responsible for roof and structural
repairs.  The Company's leases typically do not limit the Company's recourse
against the tenant and any guarantor in the event of a default, and for this
reason are considered "full-credit" leases.  Management of the Company
believes that the Properties are adequately insured.

Indebtedness.

In June 1994, the Company entered into an agreement establishing a $30,000,000
credit facility, which consolidated the Company's previous $10,000,000 credit
facility and $20,000,000 credit facility.

In July 1994, the Company entered into an agreement establishing a
$100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").  The Credit
Facility, which replaced the Company's previous $30,000,000 credit facility,
provided for $60,000,000 of credit initially, increasing to $100,000,000
subject to the completion of the Company raising additional equity (which
condition was met on October 7, 1994, upon completion of the Company's equity
offering) and expansion of the lending syndicate (which condition was met on
April 13, 1995, upon execution of an amended and restated revolving line of
credit loan agreement).  In addition, the Credit Facility was amended on
December 7, 1995, which included the Company's two wholly-owned subsidiaries
as qualified borrowers of the Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility allows the
Company and its subsidiaries to borrow at an interest rate equal to 170 basis
points above LIBOR or the lender's prime rate, whichever the Company selects. 
In addition, in connection with the Credit Facility, the Company is required
to pay a commitment fee of 20 basis points per annum on the unused commitment. 
Advances under the Credit Facility are collateralized by an assignment of the
rents and leases of certain of the Company's properties.  As of December 31,
1995, $69,450,000 was outstanding under the Credit Facility.

To maintain the Credit Facility, the Company must pay a commitment fee,
payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 20 basis points per annum on the unused
commitment.  The Credit Facility will be used primarily 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




1995 ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 7

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 entered into an interest rate cap
agreement which provides for a fixed LIBOR rate of 7.25% per annum on a
notional amount of $25,000,000.  This agreement is effective through June
1996.

In December 1995, the Company entered into a long-term, fixed rate mortgage
and security agreement for $13,150,000 (the "Permanent Debt Financing").  The
Permanent Debt Financing provides for a four-year mortgage with interest
payable monthly and principal payable at maturity on December 15, 1999, and
bears interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum.  The Permanent Debt Financing is
secured by a first lien on and assignment of rents and leases of certain of
the Company's Properties.  As of December 31, 1995, the outstanding principal
balance was $13,150,000.

On January 30, 1996, the Company entered into a long-term, fixed rate mortgage
and security agreement for $39,450,000.  The loan is a ten-year mortgage with
principal and interest payable monthly, based on a 17-year amortization, with
the balance due on the tenth anniversary of the loan and bears interest at a
rate of 7.435% per annum.  The mortgage is secured by a first lien on and an
assignment of rents and leases of certain of the Company's properties.

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.

On January 24, 1996, the Company filed a final prospectus supplement to the
shelf registration which offered 3,500,000 shares of common stock at $13.00
per share.  The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $42,400,000,
after deducting offering expenses and underwriting discounts.  Proceeds from
the offering were used to pay down the Company's Credit Facility.

Qualified REIT Subsidiaries.

In November 1995, the Company purchased 100% of the common stock of two newly-
formed entities, Net Lease Realty I, Inc. and Net Lease Realty II, Inc., to
facilitate the acquisition of certain Properties.  Each of the wholly-owned
subsidiaries is a qualified REIT subsidiary as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code Section 856(i)(2).

Property Acquisitions and Commitments.

During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company borrowed $67,400,000
under its Credit Facility to acquire 29 Properties and four buildings which
were developed by the tenant on land parcels owned by the Company.  The 29
Properties include nine Hi-Lo Automotive Stores, five Barnes & Noble
bookstores, four Eckerd drugstores, three Academy sporting goods stores, two
Scotty's home improvement stores, one Levitz furniture store, one Borders
bookstore, one OfficeMax office supply store, one Food 4 Less grocery store,
one Computer City computer store and one Waccamaw home decorating 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.

In connection with the acquisition and lease relating to the land parcels of
the Food 4 Less Property, one of the Academy Properties and five of the Barnes
& Noble Properties, the tenants are obligated to develop building 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 for the buildings upon their
completion.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company had entered into agreements to purchase
14 additional properties for an estimated aggregate amount of $48,325,323. 
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.




1995 ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 8

In addition to the 14 properties under contract as of December 31, 1995, the
Company may elect to acquire additional properties or interests therein in the
future.  Such property acquisitions are expected to be the primary demand for
additional capital in the future.  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 and the Permanent Debt Financing, the Company may enter into
additional financing arrangements.

In January 1996, the Company acquired four of the Properties and four of the
buildings described above that were under contract at December 31, 1995.  In
addition, the Company acquired one additional Property during January 1996. 
In connection with the acquisition of these Properties and buildings, the
Company borrowed $24,900,000 under its Credit Facility.

During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company also generated net sales
proceeds of $1,587,657 as a result of the sale of two Properties in Orlando,
Florida.  No such sales occurred during 1994 or 1995.

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 years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company declared and paid dividends to its
stockholders of $13,529,860, $9,896,586 and $3,155,701, respectively, or
$1.16, $1.14 and $1.10 per share of common stock, respectively.  In January
1996, the Company declared dividends to its stockholders of $3,382,465 or $.29
per share of common stock, payable in February 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries owned and leased 157, 128, and 84 Properties,
respectively, to operators of major retail businesses.  All of the Company's
Properties have been 100 percent leased since the Company's formation in 1984. 
The Properties are leased on a long-term basis, generally 15 to 20 years, with
renewal options for an additional 10 to 20 years.  As of December 31, 1995,
the average remaining initial lease term of the Properties was approximately
14 years.  During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries earned $19,722,398, $11,239,466 and
$4,052,521, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned
income from direct financing leases.  The 75% increase in rental and earned
income during 1995, as compared to 1994, is primarily attributable to income
earned on the 29 Properties acquired and the four buildings upon which
construction was completed during 1995.  In addition,  rental and earned
income increased during 1995 as a result of the fact that the 44 Properties
acquired in 1994 were operational for a full fiscal year in 1995.  The 177%
increase in rental and earned income during 1994, as compared to 1993, is
primarily attributable to the income earned on the 44 Properties acquired
during 1994 and the fact that a full year of income was earned on the 45
Properties that the Company acquired during 1993.  Rental and earned income is
expected to increase in 1996 as the Company acquires additional properties and
due to the fact that the 29 Properties acquired and four buildings upon which
construction was completed in 1995 will contribute to the Company's income for
a full fiscal year in 1996.

For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company also earned
$745,545, $828,780 and $853,904, respectively, in contingent rental income. 
Contingent rental income decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in the
aggregate net sales of restaurants currently paying contingent rent during
1995, as compared to 1994.  Contingent rental income for the year ended
December 31, 1994 decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in the
aggregate net sales from the Golden Corral restaurants during 1994.

During 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 December 31, 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. will continue to account for more than ten percent of the Company's total
rental income in 1996.  Any failure of this lessee could materially affect the
Company's income.

Rental income from the Properties is invested in money market accounts or
other short-term, highly liquid investments pending the Company's use of such
funds to acquire properties, to pay Company expenses or to pay dividends to
the stockholders.  During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
the Company earned $102,559, $217,039 and $161,602, respectively, in interest
income from such investments.  The decrease in interest income during 1995, as
compared to 1994, is primarily attributable to less net cash invested in 1995,
as compared to 1994, due to the net offering proceeds invested in 1994 pending
the acquisition of Properties.  The increase in interest income during 1994,
as compared to 1993, is primarily attributable to higher invested balances
during the year as a result of uninvested net offering proceeds from the
Company's October 1993 equity offering pending the acquisition of additional
Properties and increased rental income.

The Company incurred $3,834,388, $497,670 and $381,075 in interest expense for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Interest
expense increased for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, as a result
of higher average borrowing levels.  However, the increase in interest expense
in 1995 and 1994 was partially offset by a decrease in the Company's interest
rate under the new Credit Facility.  As a means to reduce its exposure to
variable rate debt, the Company had entered into an interest rate cap
agreement as described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."




1995 ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 9

During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's
operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, were $4,038,721,
$2,876,324 and $1,540,579, respectively (19.6%, 23.4% and 30.4%, respectively,
of gross operating revenues).  The increase in the dollar amount of operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995, is primarily attributable to
the increase in depreciation as a result of the depreciation of additional
Properties acquired during 1995 and a full year of depreciation during 1995 on
the properties acquired during 1994.  The increase is also attributable to
increased advisory fees as a result of increased funds from operations for the
year ended December 31, 1995.  However, the increase was partially offset by a
decrease in legal fees during 1995, as compared to 1994, as a result of the
legal fees and expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 1994, in
connection with the Company's reorganization in the State of Maryland.

The increase in the dollar amount of operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1994, is primarily attributable to the increase in depreciation
as a result of the depreciation of additional Properties acquired during 1994. 
The increase is also attributable to (i) an increase in advisory fees as a
result of an increase in funds from operations for the year ended December 31,
1994, (ii) an increase in state tax expense primarily as a result of the
acquisition of additional Properties and an increase in capital resulting from
the equity offerings during the year ended December 31, 1994, (iii) an
increase in professional fees related to fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Company's reorganization in the State of Maryland during
1994 and (iv) the number of outstanding shares of common stock, which
increased expenses associated with stockholder communications and other costs.

In December 1993, the Company sold two of its Properties to an unrelated,
third party for $1,587,657, resulting in an aggregate gain of $374,203.  No
such sales occurred during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Inflation has had a minimal effect on income from operations.  Management
expects that increases in retail sales volumes due to inflation and real sales
growth should result in an increase in rental income over time.  Continued
inflation also may cause capital appreciation of the Company's Properties. 
Inflation and changing prices, however, also may have an adverse impact on the
operating margins of retail businesses and on potential capital appreciation
of the Properties.

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 will 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.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.  The Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995, provides that companies must either charge the value
of stock options granted to their income statement or provide pro forma
equivalent information in a footnote disclosure.  The Company will adopt this
standard in 1996 by providing pro forma equivalent information in a footnote
disclosure.

COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993


1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS - Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the
"Company") is a real estate investment trust which was incorporated in 1984 in
the State of Delaware.  In June 1994, the Company reincorporated in the State
of Maryland, as described in Note 2.  The Company owns and manages high-
quality, freestanding properties leased to major retail businesses under long-
term commercial net leases.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - In November 1995, the Company acquired 100% of
the common stock of two newly-formed entities, Net Lease Realty I, Inc. and
Net Lease Realty II, Inc., to facilitate the acquisition of certain
properties.  Each of the subsidiaries is a qualified real estate investment
trust subsidiary as defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 856(i)(2). 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
these wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

LAND AND BUILDINGS ON OPERATING LEASES - Land and buildings on operating
leases are stated at cost.  Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives (generally 35 to 40 years).

LEASE ACCOUNTING - Land and buildings are leased to others on a net lease
basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating expenses
relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and
repairs.

The leases are accounted for under either the direct financing or the
operating methods.  Such methods are described below:

      DIRECT FINANCING METHOD - Leases accounted for under the direct
      financing method are recorded at their net investment (Note 5). 
      Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the lease terms
      so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net
      investment in the lease.

      OPERATING METHOD - Land and buildings are recorded at cost, revenue is
      recognized as rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation)
      are charged to operations as incurred.  When scheduled rentals vary
      during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis so
      as to produce a constant periodic rent.  Accrued rental income is the
      aggregate difference between the scheduled rents which vary during the
      lease term and the income recognized on a straight-line basis.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For the purposes of the statements of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Cash and cash
equivalents consist of cash, money market accounts and overnight investments. 
Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates
market value.

LOAN COSTS - Loan costs have been capitalized and are being amortized over the
terms of the loan commitments using the straight-line method which
approximates the effective interest method.  The premium paid for the interest
rate cap agreement has been recorded as a prepaid expense and is being
amortized as interest expense over the term of the agreement using the
straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method.

NOTES PAYABLE - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of
the year end fair value of significant financial instruments, including long-
term debt.  The Company believes, based upon current terms, that the carrying
value of its notes payable and interest rate cap agreement at December 31,
1995, approximate fair value.

INCOME TAXES - The Company has made an election to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and related regulations.  The Company will not be subject to
federal income taxes on amounts distributed to stockholders, providing it
distributes at least 95 percent of its real estate investment trust taxable
income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a real estate
investment trust.  For each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995, the Company believes it has qualified as a real estate
investment trust; accordingly, no provisions have been made for federal income
taxes in the accompanying financial statements.  Not withstanding the
Company's qualification for taxation as a real estate investment trust, the
Company is subject to certain state taxes on its income and property.

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

USE OF ESTIMATES - Management of the Company has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - 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 will 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.




1995 ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 17

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.  The Statement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995, provides that companies must either charge the value
of stock options granted to their income statement or provide pro forma
equivalent information in a footnote disclosure.  The Company will adopt this
standard in 1996 by providing pro forma equivalent information in a footnote
disclosure.


2.  REINCORPORATION:

The Company entered into an agreement of merger, effective June 3, 1994, which
provided for the Company's change of domicile from Delaware to Maryland (the
"Reincorporation") following the approval by the stockholders at the Company's
1994 Annual Meeting on April 22, 1994.

The Reincorporation did not result in a change in the Company's name,
business, management, location of the principal executive office,
capitalization of assets, liabilities or net worth (other than due to the
costs of the Reincorporation).


3.  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 December 31, 1995, 98 of the leases have been classified as operating
leases and 59 leases have been classified as direct financing leases.  For the
leases classified as direct financing leases, the building portions of the
property leases are accounted for as direct financing leases while the land
portions of 30 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, fully 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.


4.  LAND AND BUILDINGS ON OPERATING LEASES:

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

                                                    1995             1994

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

In December 1993, the Company sold two of its properties for a total of
$1,587,657 and recognized a gain of $374,203.

Some leases provide for escalating guaranteed minimum rent throughout the
lease term.  Income from these scheduled rent increases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  For the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company recognized $1,233,389, $782,843
and $167,807, respectively, of such income.

7.  NOTES PAYABLE:

In June 1994, the Company entered into an agreement establishing a new
$30,000,000 credit facility which consolidated the Company's previous
$10,000,000 and $20,000,000 credit facilities.  Advances under the $30,000,000
credit facility were secured by an assignment of rent from all of the
Company's properties and bore interest at an annual rate equal to the lender's
prime rate.

In July 1994, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a three-year
$100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility").  The Credit
Facility, which replaced the Company's previous $30,000,000 credit facility,
provided for $60,000,000 of credit initially, increasing to $100,000,000
subject to the Company raising additional equity (which condition was met on
October 7, 1994, upon completion of the Company's common stock offering) and
expansion of the lending syndicate (which condition was met on April 13, 1995,
upon execution of an amended and restated revolving line of credit loan
agreement).  In addition, the Credit Facility was amended on December 7, 1995,
which included the Company's two wholly-owned subsidiaries as qualified
borrowers of the Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility allows the Company and
its subsidiaries to borrow at an interest rate equal to 170 basis points above
LIBOR or the lender's prime rate, whichever the Company selects.  In addition,
in connection with the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a
commitment fee of 20 basis points per annum on the unused commitment. 
Advances under the Credit Facility are collateralized by an assignment of the
rents and leases of certain of the Company's properties.  The principal
balance is due in full upon termination of the Credit Facility on June 30,
1997, and interest is payable quarterly.  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the outstanding principal balance was $69,450,000 and $14,800,000,
respectively, plus accrued  interest of $84,094 and $35,851, respectively.  In
addition, as of December 31, 1995, the Company had incurred $850,887 in loan
costs relating to this loan.  The terms of the Credit Facility include
financial covenants which provide for the maintenance of certain financial
ratios.  The Company was in compliance with such covenants as of December 31,
1995.

In December 1994, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement as a
means to reduce its exposure to rising interest rates on the Company's
variable rate Credit Facility.  The interest rate cap agreement provides for a
fixed LIBOR rate of 7.25% per annum on a notional amount of $25,000,000 and is
effective through June 1996.

On December 14, 1995, the Company entered into a long-term, fixed rate
mortgage and security agreement for $13,150,000 (the "Permanent Debt
Financing").  The Permanent Debt Financing provides for a four-year mortgage
with interest payable monthly and principal payable at maturity on December
15, 1999, and bears interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum.  The Permanent Debt
Financing is secured by a first lien on and assignment of rents and leases of
certain of the Company's properties.  As of December 31, 1995, the outstanding
principal balance was $13,150,000, plus accrued interest of $44,381.  In
addition, as of December 31, 1995, the Company had incurred $223,530 in loan
costs relating to this mortgage.

9.  STOCK OPTION PLAN:

The Company's stock option plan (the "Plan") provides compensation and
incentive to persons ("Key Employees") or entities whose services are

the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company amended the Plan to increase the
number of shares reserved for issuance from 88,100 shares of common stock to
600,000 shares of common stock and to permit an automatic increase in the
number of shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the Plan to
1,200,000 and 2,000,000 shares at such time as the Company has 15,000,000 and
25,000,000 shares, respectively, of common stock issued and outstanding.  The
