Lease Realty, Inc. Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31,
1996 (Items 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Part II).



                                     PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

      Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Registrant" or the "Company"), is a real estate investment trust (a "REIT")
formed in 1984 that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of high-
quality, freestanding properties leased to major retail businesses generally
under full-credit, 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 $7.5 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, 1996, the Company borrowed $144,600,000
of amounts it has available under its credit facility and assumed mortgages
totalling $6,864,000 to acquire 40 properties and nine buildings which were
developed by the tenant on land parcels owned by the Company.  As of December
31, 1996, the Company owned 195 properties (the "Properties") that are leased to
major businesses, including Academy, Baby Superstore, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy,
Blockbuster Music, Borders, Burger King, Checkers, CompUSA, Computer City,
Denny's, Dick's Clothing & Sporting Goods, Eckerd, Food 4 Less, Food Lion,
Golden Corral, Good Guys, Hardee's, Hi-Lo Automotive, HomePlace, International
House of Pancakes, Kash N' Karry, Levitz, Linens 'n Things, Luria's, Marshalls,
Office Depot, OfficeMax, Oshman's, Pier 1 Imports, Pizza Hut, Scotty's, Sears,
Sports Authority, Waccamaw and Wendy's.  The occupancy rate of the Company's
Property portfolio was 100 percent at December 31, 1996.

      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 1996, one of the Company's lessees, Barnes & Noble Superstores,
Inc., accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's total rental income. 
As of December 31, 1996, Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc. was the lessee under
leases relating to 11 Properties.   It is anticipated that, based on the minimum
rental payments required by the leases, Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc. will
continue to account for more than ten percent of the Company's total rental
income in 1997.  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).


 
                                            1


Advisory Services

      The Company and CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") have entered
into an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"), which provides for the
Advisor to perform to receive an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to (i) seven
percent of funds from operations, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, up to
$10,000,000, (ii) six percent of funds from operations in excess of $10,000,000
but less than $20,000,000 and (iii) five percent of funds from operations in
excess of $20,000,000.  Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor 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,
the Advisor 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.  The
Advisor 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, 1997 and continues until
January 1998, and thereafter may be extended annually upon mutual consent of a
majority of the board of directors of the Advisor and a majority of the
independent directors of the Company unless terminated at an earlier date upon
90 days' prior notice by either party.

      Historically, the Company has not had a large enough asset base to provide
the economies of scale needed to support efficiently the extensive general and
administrative expenses of an in-house management team.  As a result, the
Advisor had incurred the full expense of a management and acquisition team while
receiving advisory and acquisition fees that have offset this expense.  However,
management believes that the efficiencies currently experienced by employing a
third-party advisor will diminish as the Company grows and expects that as the
Company continues to grow it will be more cost effective to become self-
administered.  Management is currently considering whether it may be appropriate
at this time to recommend to the Board of Directors that the Company become
self-administered.  Any recommendation would be evaluated by the Independent
Directors, and any transaction by which the Company would become self-
administered would be submitted to the stockholders for their approval.

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, 1996, the Company owned 195 Properties located in 31
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
583,000 square feet depending upon building size and local demographic factors. 
Sites purchased by the Company are in locations zoned for 



                                            2




commercial use which have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume.  
Land costs range from approximately $36,500 to $4,600,000.

      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 60,000 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, 1996,
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 $21,000 to $910,000.  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, 1996, leases representing approximately 74 percent of annual base rent
include contractual increases, leases representing approximately 33 percent of
annual base rent include percentage rent provisions and leases representing
approximately 19 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 its Properties 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 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.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

      During the year ended December 31, 1996, each director who was a director
for the entire year was paid $12,000 for serving on the Board of Directors. 
Each director received $1,000 per quarterly Board of Directors meeting attended
and $750 per committee meeting attended.  Since May 1993, however, Messrs.
Seneff and Bourne have waived their directors' fees.  The Board of Directors
believes this compensation level is comparable to that provided by many other
companies in the real estate investment trust ("REIT") industry.

      The Board of Directors met 12 times during the year ended December 31,
1996 and the average attendance by directors at Board meetings was approximately
95%.  Each current member attended at least 83% of the total meetings of the
Board of Directors and of any committee on which he served.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

      The Company has a standing Audit Committee, the members of which are
selected by the full Board of Directors each year.  The current members of the
Audit Committee, who have served since June 1992, are Messrs. Clark, Cox and
Lanier.  The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as
to the independent accountants of the Company and reviews with such accounting
firm the scope of the audit and the results of the audit upon its completion. 
The Audit Committee met once during the year ended December 31, 1996.

      The Company has a standing Compensation Committee, the members of which
are selected by the full Board of Directors each year.  The current members of
the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Clark, Hinkle and Lanier.  The principal
function of the Compensation Committee is to make awards of stock options under
the 1992 Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan")
and to set the terms of such stock options in accordance with the terms of the
1992 Plan.  The Compensation Committee met twice during the year ended December
31, 1996.

      
      The Company does not have a nominating committee.

option grants, pursuant to the 1992 Plan, made to the Chief Executive Officer
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996:

(1)   Options vest in one-third increments on each of the first three
      consecutive anniversaries of the date of grant and may be exercised, if at
      all, only with respect to those options which have vested.

(2)   Based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model adapted for use in
      valuing stock options granted to executives.  The following assumptions
      were used in determining the values set forth in the table:  (a) expected
      volatilities of 13.0%, (b) risk-free rates of return of 6.17% (which
      percentage represents the yield on a United States Government Zero Coupon
      bond with a 10-year maturity prevailing on the date on which the
      respective options were granted), (c) dividend yields of 8.6%, and (d) the
      exercise of the options at the end of their respective 10-year term.  No
      adjustments were made for nontransferability or risk of forfeiture of the
      options.  The calculations were made using prices per share of the Common
      Stock and option exercise prices of $13.00 (which represented the closing
      sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date
      prior to the date on which the options were granted).  The estimated
      present values in the table are not intended to provide, nor should they
      be interpreted as providing, any indication or assurance concerning future
      values of the Common Stock.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange.  Officers,
directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

      Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of such forms it has
received and written representations from certain reporting persons that they
were not required to file Forms 5 for the last fiscal year, the Company believes
that all its officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to
transactions during fiscal 1996.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
      
      Administration of the day-to-day operations of the Company is provided by
the Advisor, a subsidiary of CNL Group, of which Messrs. Seneff and Bourne are
affiliates, pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement.  All of the
officers of the Advisor also are officers of the Company.  The Advisor also
serves as the Company's consultant in connection with policy decisions to be
made by the Company's Board of Directors, manages the Company's properties and
renders such other services as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.  The
Advisor 



                                            10



also bears the expense of providing the executive and administrative
personnel, office space and services required in rendering such services to the
Company.  The Advisor is at all times subject to the supervision of the Board of
Directors of the Company and has only such functions and authority as the
Company may delegate to it as the Company's agent.

      The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor is entitled to receive an
annual Advisor Fee, paid monthly, equal to seven percent (7%) of Funds From
Operations (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) up to $10,000,000, six percent
(6%) of Funds From Operations in excess of $10,000,000 but less than
$20,000,000, and five percent (5%) of Funds From Operations in excess of
$20,000,000.  In addition, the Advisory Agreement provides that, to the extent
that the Board of Directors requests that the Advisor render services other than
those otherwise required to be performed, such additional services shall be
compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon.

      The aggregate Advisor Fee incurred by the Company to the Advisor during
the year ended December 31, 1996 was $1,466,000.

      The Company's Board of Directors (including a majority of its independent
directors) approved the payment to the Advisor of an acquisition fee equal to
1.5 percent of the cost of 27 properties and nine buildings acquired by the
Company in 1996 that were not developed by or purchased from affiliates of CNL
Group and an expense reimbursement equal to 0.5 percent of such costs to cover
costs incurred on behalf of the Company in site selection and acquisition
activities (including travel and related items) of the Advisor.  During 1996,
the Company incurred $1,709,000 in acquisition fees and $569,000 in expense
reimbursements payable to the Advisor with respect to these properties.

      The term of the Advisory Agreement expired January 1, 1997, subject to
successive one-year renewals upon mutual consent of the parties.  The Company
has renewed the Advisory Agreement for 1997 by a unanimous vote of directors. 
The Advisory Agreement may be terminated for cause by either party thereto, or
by the mutual consent of the parties (by a majority of the independent directors
of the Company or a majority of the Board of Directors of the Advisor, as the
case may be), upon 90 days written notice.

      During 1996, the Company acquired thirteen properties for purchase prices
totaling $34,313,000 from affiliates of CNL Group who had developed the
properties.  The purchase prices paid by the Company for these properties
include development fees totaling $1,453,000.  No acquisition fees or expense
reimbursement fees were paid to the Advisor in connection with acquisition of
these properties.
