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

      The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
      have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
      not  include  all of the  information  and note  disclosures  required  by
      generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements reflect
      all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in
      the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the
      results  for the  interim  periods  presented.  Operating  results for the
      quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,  may not be  indicative of the
      results  that may be  expected  for the year  ending  December  31,  2000.
      Amounts as of December 31,  1999,  included in the  financial  statements,
      have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

      These unaudited  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with
      the financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in the Form 10-K of
      Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1999.

      The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Commercial
      Net Lease Realty, Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries (the "Company").
      All  significant   intercompany   accounts  and  transactions   have  been
      eliminated in consolidation.

      Basic  earnings per share are calculated  based upon the weighted  average
      number of  common  shares  outstanding  during  each  period  and  diluted
      earnings per share are  calculated  based upon weighted  average number of
      common shares outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares.

      In December  1999,  the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC")
      published  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  101,  "Revenue  Recognition."  The
      Bulletin  expressed the SEC's position  regarding  revenue  recognition in
      financial   statements,   including  income  statement   presentation  and
      disclosures.  The implementation  date of the Bulletin,  as amended, is no
      later than the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      1999.  The Company does not believe the  implementation  of this  Bulletin
      will have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results
      of operations.

2.    Leases:
      ------

      The Company  generally leases its real estate to operators of major retail
      businesses. As of June 30, 2000, 180 of the leases have been classified as
      operating  leases and 83 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 47 of these leases are accounted for as
      operating leases.  Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20
      years (expiring between 2001 and 2020) and provide for minimum rentals. In
      addition, the majority of the leases provide for contingent rentals and/or
      scheduled rent increases over the terms of the leases.  The tenant is also
      generally   required   to  pay  all   property   taxes  and   assessments,
      substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building and carry
      insurance  coverage  for  public  liability,  property  damage,  fire  and
      extended coverage.  The lease options generally allow tenants to renew the
      leases  for  two  to  four   successive   five-year   periods  subject  to
      substantially the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.

3.    Line of Credit Payable:
      ----------------------

      In September  1999, the Company  entered into an amended and restated loan
      agreement  for a  $200,000,000  revolving  credit  facility  (the  "Credit
      Facility").  In May 2000,  the Company  exercised its option to extend the
      revolving  credit  maturity date to July 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2000 and
      December 31, 1999, the outstanding  principal balance was $121,500,000 and
      $108,700,000,   respectively,   plus  accrued  interest  of  $448,000  and
      $135,000, respectively.

5.    Related Party Transactions:
      --------------------------

      In connection with the mortgages and other  receivables from the Company's
      unconsolidated  subsidiary,  Commercial  Net Lease Realty  Services,  Inc.
      ("Services"), the Company received $1,384,000 and $191,000 in interest and
      fees during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  In
      addition,  Services  paid the  Company  $204,000  and  $37,000  in expense

      with the Company by extending the expiration date to July 30, 2001.

6.    Segment Information:
      -------------------

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an
      Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement requires that a public
      business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
      reportable  operating  segments.  Operating  segments are components of an
      enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
      evaluated  regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how
      to allocate resources and in assessing performance. While the Company does
      not have more than one reportable segment as defined by the Statement, the
      Company  has  identified  two primary  sources of revenue:  (i) rental and
      earned  income  from the  triple  net  leases  and (ii)  fee  income  from
      development, property management and asset management services.

      The following tables represent the revenues, expenses and asset allocation
      for the two segments and the Company's  consolidated totals at (dollars in
      thousands):

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

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

Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administrated real
estate  investment trust that acquires,  owns,  manages and indirectly,  through
investment interests,  develops high-quality,  freestanding  properties that are
generally  leased to major retail  businesses  under  long-term  commercial  net
leases.  As of  June  30,  2000,  Commercial  Net  Lease  Realty,  Inc.  and its
subsidiaries  (the  "Company")  owned,  either directly or through a partnership
interest,  276  properties  (the  "Properties")  substantially  all of which are
leased to major retail businesses.

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

General.  Historically,  the  Company's  only  demand for funds has been for the
payment of operating  expenses and  dividends,  for  property  acquisitions  and
development,  either  directly  or  through  investment  interests,  and for the
payment of interest on its outstanding  indebtedness.  Generally, cash needs for
items  other  than  property  acquisitions  and  development  have been met from
operations and property  acquisitions and development have been funded by equity
and debt  offerings,  bank  borrowings,  the sale of Properties 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,
proceeds  from the  sale of  Properties,  as well as  undistributed  funds  from
operations.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 and  1999,  the  Company
generated  $26,604,000  and  $24,663,000  respectively,  in net cash provided by
operating  activities.  The increase in cash from  operations for the six months
ended June 30,  2000,  as compared  to the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  is
primarily  the  result of changes in  revenues  and  expenses  as  discussed  in
"Results of Operations."

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

In April 2000, the Company entered into the Modification of Amended and Restated
Secured  Revolving  Line of Credit and  Security  Agreement  with the  Company's
unconsolidated    subsidiary,    Commercial    Net   Lease   Realty    Services,
Inc.("Services"),  which amended  Services'  existing credit  agreement with the
Company  by  (i)   increasing  the  borrowing   capacity  from   $30,000,000  to
$50,000,000,  and  (ii)  extending  the  expiration  date to July 30,  2001.  In
addition, the Company entered into the Modification of Secured Revolving Line of
Credit and Security Agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Services,  which
amended its existing  $20,000,000  revolving credit facility with the Company by
extending the expiration date to July 30, 2001.

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 and
maintaining  its status as a real estate  investment  trust,  is to distribute a
substantial  portion of its funds available from operations to its  stockholders
in the form of dividends.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  the
Company  declared and paid  dividends to its  stockholders  of  $18,775,000  and
$18,666,000, respectively, or $0.62 per share of common stock. In July 2000, the
Company declared  dividends to its shareholders of $9,410,000 or $0.31 per share
of common stock, payable in August 2000.

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

As of June  30,  2000 and  1999,  the  Company  owned  267 and 266  wholly-owned
Properties,  respectively,  263 and 262,  respectively,  of which were leased to
operators of major retail businesses.  In addition,  during the six months ended
June 30,  2000,  the Company  sold one  property  which was leased  during 2000.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company sold 41 properties  which
were leased during 1999 and one property which was vacant. During the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned  $37,354,000  and  $35,830,000,
respectively,  in rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct
financing leases and contingent rental income ("Rental Income"), $18,034,000 and
$18,198,000  of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended June 30,  2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The increase in Rental  Income during the six months ended
June 30,  2000,  is  primarily a result of the facts that (i) the 36  Properties
acquired and 15 buildings upon which construction was completed during 1999 were
operational  for a full  six  months  in 2000  and  (ii)  the  Company  received
non-recurring  additional rental income of $1,096,000 related to the termination
of leases on two of its  properties.  The  decrease  in  Rental  Income  for the
quarter  ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999, is
primarily  attributable to the decrease in earned income as a result of the sale
of one property accounted for using the direct financing method.


During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned  $190,000
and $1,504,000,  respectively, in development and asset management fees, $94,000
and  $460,000 of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The fees earned during 2000 were  primarily  earned by the
Company's  build-to-suit   development  operation.  In  May  1999,  the  Company
transferred  its  build-to-suit  development  operation to Commercial  Net Lease
Realty  Services,  Inc., a 95 percent owned taxable  unconsolidated  subsidiary.
Development fees earned by Services during the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2000 are  included  in the  Company's  equity in earnings of  unconsolidated
subsidiary.

During  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000 and  1999,  the  Company  earned
$2,289,000  and  $485,000,  respectively,  in interest  income,  $1,212,000  and
$427,000 of which was earned  during the quarters  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The increase in interest earned during 2000 is attributable to the
interest  earned  on the  mortgages  receivable  and  the  mortgages  and  other
receivables from Services issued during 1999.

During  the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000  and  1999,  operating  expenses,
excluding interest and including depreciation and amortization,  were $7,986,000
and  $16,600,000,   respectively,  (19.9%  and  43.7%,  respectively,  of  total
revenues)  $3,857,000 and $7,242,000  (19.7% and 37.8%,  respectively,  of total
revenues)  of which was  incurred  during the  quarters  ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The decrease in operating expenses for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the quarter and six months ended June
30,  1999,  is  attributable  to the  decrease  in charges  related to the costs
incurred in acquiring  the Company's  external  advisor from a related party and
the decrease in general operating and administrative expenses as a result of the
transfer of the Company's  build-to-suit  development operation to Services. The
decrease  in  operating   expenses  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in
depreciation  and  amortization  expense as a result of a full  quarter  and six
months of depreciation  and  amortization  expense relating to the 36 Properties
and 15  buildings  acquired  during  1999.  The  increase  in  depreciation  and
amortization  expense was  partially  offset by a decrease in  depreciation  and
amortization  expense related to the sale of 42 properties during the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

The Company  recognized  $12,879,000 and $10,134,000 in interest expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, $6,233,000 and $5,357,000
of which  was  incurred  during  the  quarters  ended  June 30,  2000 and  1999,
respectively. Interest expense increased during the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2000,  primarily as a result of the higher average interest rate on the
Company's  Credit Facility and the interest  incurred related to the issuance of
the  $100,000,000  in notes  payable in June 1999.  However,  the  increase  was
partially offset by a decrease in the average  borrowing levels of the Company's
Credit Facility and the maturity of a $13,150,000  mortgage  payable in December
1999.

In May 1999,  Services  was formed to enable the  Company to perform  additional
development,  leasing and  disposition  services.  The Company  accounts for its
investment in Services  under the equity method,  and  therefore,  recognizes 95
percent  of  the  income  or  loss  of   Services   as  equity  in  earnings  of
unconsolidated  subsidiary.  The net losses incurred by Services for the quarter
and six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 are  primarily  due to the  nature of the
development,  leasing and real estate  disposition  business  which provides for
revenue  recognition upon completion of construction,  leasing or disposition of
the real estate, while many of the related expenses are recognized as incurred.

Investment Considerations.  This information contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934.  Although the Company believes that the
expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking  statements  are  based  upon
reasonable  assumptions,  the Company's  actual results could differ  materially
from those set forth in the  forward-looking  statements.  Certain  factors that
might cause a  difference  include the  following:  changes in general  economic
conditions, changes in real estate market conditions,  continued availability of
proceeds from the Company's debt or equity  capital,  the ability of the Company
to locate suitable tenants for its Properties and the ability of tenants to make
payments under their respective leases.
