                                and SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES  TO CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  Quarters
                     Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

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  ended
     March 31, 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 June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement  establishes  accounting
     and  reporting  standards for  derivative  instruments,  including  certain
     derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred
     to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. The Statement requires that
     an entity  recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
     balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

     In June 1999, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  137,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
     Statement No. 133, an Amendment of FASB  Statement No. 133."  Statement No.
     137 defers  the  effective  date of  Statement  No.  133,  "Accounting  for
     Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities" for one year. Statement No.
     133, as amended,  is now  effective  for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal
     years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently reviewing the
     Statement,  as  amended,  to see what  impact,  if any, it will have on the
     Company's consolidated financial statements.


     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 is no later than the
     second  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 March 31, 2000, 181 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.   Earnings Per Share:
     ------------------

     The following  represents  the  calculations  of earnings per share and the
     weighted  average number of shares of dilutive  potential  common stock for
     the quarters ended March 31:

     For the quarters  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  options on 1,665,925  and
     1,661,269  shares of  common  stock,  respectively,  were not  included  in
     computing   diluted   earnings  per  share   because   their  effects  were
     antidilutive.

4.   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  $1,145,000 in interest and fees during
     the quarter  ended March 31, 2000.  In addition,  Services paid the Company
     $102,000 in expense  reimbursements for accounting services provided by the
     Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

5.   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 March 31,
     2000 and 1999, and for the quarters then ended (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  develops
high-quality,  freestanding properties that are generally leased to major retail
businesses  under  long-term  commercial  net  leases.  As of  March  31,  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  quarters  ended  March  31,  2000 and  1999,  the  Company
generated  $15,505,000  and  $11,093,000  respectively,  in net cash provided by
operating activities. The increase in cash from operations for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000,  as compared to the quarter  ended March 31, 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.

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 quarters  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  the
Company  declared  and paid  dividends to its  stockholders  of  $9,378,000  and
$9,267,000, respectively, or $0.31 per share of common stock. In April 2000, the
Company declared  dividends to its shareholders of $9,398,000 or $0.31 per share
of common stock, payable in May 2000.

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

As of March  31,  2000 and 1999,  the  Company  owned  267 and 272  wholly-owned
Properties,  respectively,  264 and 268,  respectively,  of which were leased to
operators of major retail  businesses.  In  addition,  during the quarter  ended
March 31,  2000,  the Company sold one  property  which was leased  during 2000.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999,  the Company sold 38  properties  which
were leased during 1999 and one property  which was vacant.  During the quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned  $19,320,000 and  $17,632,000,
respectively,  in rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct
financing leases and contingent rental income ("Rental Income"). The increase in
Rental  Income during the quarter ended March 31, 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 quarter 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.

During the quarters  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  the Company  earned $96,000
and $1,044,000, respectively, in development and asset management fees. The fees
earned  during  1999  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 a 95 percent owned, taxable unconsolidated  subsidiary,
Commercial Net Lease Realty Services, Inc. ("Services"). Development fees earned
by  Services  during  the  quarter  ended  March 31,  2000 are  included  in the
Company's equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company earned $1,077,000
and $58,000,  respectively,  in interest income. 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 quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, operating expenses, excluding
interest and  including  depreciation  and  amortization,  were  $4,129,000  and
$9,358,000,  respectively,  (20.0% and 49.7%, respectively,  of total revenues).
The decrease in  operating  expenses  for the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999, is attributable to the decrease in
charges related to the costs incurred in acquiring the Company's  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 for the quarter ended March 31,
2000, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999, is also  attributable  to
the  increase in  depreciation  and  amortization  expense as a result of a full
quarter 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 nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

The Company  recognized  $6,646,000 and  $4,777,000 in interest  expense for the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest expense increased
during the quarter  ended March 31,  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
ended March 31, 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.  In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133,  "Accounting
for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." The Statement  establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts  (collectively referred to as
derivatives),  and for hedging activities. The Statement requires that an entity
recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value

In June 1999,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."  Statement No. 137 defers the effective
date of Statement No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activities"  for one year.  Statement No. 133, as amended,  is now effective for
all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,  2000.  The
Company is currently reviewing the Statement, as amended, to see what impact, if
any, it will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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.
