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 nine months ended September 30, 2001, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. Amounts as of December 31, 2000, 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, 2000.The condensed 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.Certain items in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Stockholders’ equity or net earnings.In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 38, Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises. All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. The Company is currently evaluating this statement to determine what impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In June 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued FAS Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for 5COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC.and SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUEDNine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 20001.

This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this statement to determine what impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.2. Leases:The Company generally leases its real estate to operators of major retail businesses. As of September 30, 2001, 146 of the leases have been classified as operating leases and 61 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 44 of these leases are accounted for as operating leases. Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years (expiring between 2001 and 2025) 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. Common Stock:In January 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to $200,000,000 in debt and equity securities (which includes approximately $180,000,000 of unissued debt and equity securities under the Company’s previous $300,000,000 shelf registration statement).In July 2001, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to 2,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan.6COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC.and SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUEDNine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 20004.

In April 2001, the Company entered into two new secured revolving lines of credit and security agreements with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services and modified an existing secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. In July 2001, the Company entered into a new secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. All secured revolving line of credit and security agreements between the Company and any wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiary Agreements.” The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements provide an aggregate borrowing capacity of $140,500,000 to Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each have expiration dates on October 31, 2003.In May 2001, Services and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries became direct borrowers under the Company’s $200,000,000 revolving credit facility. 8COMMERCIAL NET LEASE REALTY, INC.and SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUEDNine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 20006. Segment Information: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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSThis 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. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “believe,” “expect” and “may.” 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 availability of other debt and equity financing alternatives; market conditions affecting the Company’s equity capital; changes in interest rates under the Company’s current credit facilities and under any additional variable-rate debt arrangements that the Company may enter into in the future; the ability of the Company to integrate acquired properties and operations into existing operations; the ability of the Company to re-finance amounts outstanding under its credit facilities at maturity on terms favorable to the Company; the ability of the Company to locate suitable tenants for its Properties; the ability of tenants to make payments under their respective leases and the ability of the Company to re-lease properties that are currently vacant or that become vacant. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. IntroductionCommercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation, 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 September 30, 2001, Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) owned, either directly or through a partnership interest, 239 properties (the “Properties”) substantially all of which are leased to major retail businesses.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesGeneral. 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, for the payment of interest on its outstanding indebtedness and for other investments. Generally, cash needs for items other than property acquisitions and development and other investments 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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company generated $36,484,000 and $39,060,000, respectively, in net cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 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 these certain Properties 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. If required, the Company may use bank borrowings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures. 12Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued: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.Equity Securities. In January 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to $200,000,000 in debt and equity securities (which includes approximately $180,000,000 of unissued debt and equity securities under the Company’s previous $300,000,000 shelf registration statement).In July 2001, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to 2,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan.On July 25, 2001, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Award Agreements (“Agreements”), with four of the Company’s executive officers (“Officers”) and five members of the Board of Directors (“Directors”). The stock awards were granted under the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made in the Agreements. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company issued restricted stock grants to the Officers and Directors totaling 234,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively. The terms of the Agreements with the Officers provide that the restricted stock will vest at a rate of 15%-30% over approximately a five-year period ending on January 1, 2006 and automatically upon a change in control. The terms of the Agreements with the Directors provide that the restricted stock will vest equally over approximately a two-year period ending on January 1, 2003 and automatically upon a change in control. Property Dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company sold 31 of its Properties for a total of $36,947,000 and received net proceeds of $36,438,000. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of these 31 Properties of $4,765,000. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of 21 Properties to acquire additional Properties and structured the transactions to qualify as tax-free exchange transactions for federal income tax purposes. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of ten properties to pay down the outstanding indebtedness of the Company. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates. In March 2001, Commercial Net Lease Realty Services, Inc., an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company ("Services"), filed an election to become a taxable REIT subsidiary, effective January 1, 2001.In April 2001, the Company modified its existing Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Line of Credit and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Services to increase Services borrowing capacity from $65,000,000 to $85,000,000 and to modify certain provisions of the security agreement. In April 2001, the Company entered into two new secured revolving lines of credit and security agreements with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services and modified an existing secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. In July 2001, the Company entered into a new secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. All secured revolving line of credit and security agreements between the Company and any wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiary Agreements.” The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements provide an aggregate borrowing capacity of $140,500,000 to Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each have expiration dates on October 31, 2003.In May 2001, Services and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries became direct borrowers under the Company’s $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).13Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued: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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company declared and paid dividends to its stockholders of $28,900,000 and $28,186,000, respectively, or $0.945 and $0.930 per share of common stock, respectively. In October 2001, the Company declared dividends to its shareholders of $9,737,000 or $0.315 per share of common stock, payable in November 2001 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2001. Results of OperationsAs of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company owned 230 and 268 wholly-owned Properties, respectively, 207 and 264, of which were leased to operators of major retail businesses, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $52,568,000 and $55,662,000, respectively, in rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct financing leases and contingent rental income (“Rental Income”), $16,613,000 and $18,308,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in Rental Income for the nine months ended September, 2001 is primarily a result of the decrease in Rental Income relating to the 31 properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 which were operational for the full nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in Rental Income is partially offset as a result of non-recurring additional Rental Income received during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $2,518,000 and $1,332,000, respectively, related to the termination of leases on 32 and three properties, respectively. The decrease in Rental Income for the quarter September 30, 2001 is primarily a result of the decrease in Rental Income relating to the 41 properties sold subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in Rental Income is partially offset as a result of non-recurring additional Rental Income received during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $1,015,000 and $273,000, respectively, related to the termination of leases on five and seven properties. The decrease in Rental Income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 can also be attributed to the 22 vacant, unleased Properties owned by the Company which account for 12.8% of the total gross leasable area. The Company is actively marketing these 22 Properties (see “Investment Considerations”).During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $888,000 and $768,000, respectively, in contingent rental income, $104,000 and $247,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in contingent rental income in 2001 is attributable to the adoption of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 “Revenue Recognition” (the “Bulletin”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the recognition of contingent rental income. Accordingly, the Company has modified its revenue recognition policy and recognizes contingent rental income based on the tenants’ actual gross quarterly or annual sales pursuant to the terms of the leases. Adoption of this Bulletin resulted in the recognition of an additional $367,000 of contingent rental income during the quarter ended March 31, 2001.During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company sold 31 properties for a total of $36,947,000 and received net sales proceeds of $36,438,000. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of these 31 properties of $4,765,000 for financial reporting purposes. The Company used the proceeds from 21 of these properties to acquire additional properties and structured the transactions to qualify as a tax-free like-kind exchange transactions for federal income tax purposes. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of ten properties to pay down the outstanding indebtedness of the Company.14Results of Operations - continued:During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $6,255,000 and $3,735,000, respectively, in interest income, $1,984,000 and $1,556,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in interest earned during 2001 is attributable to higher outstanding balances of mortgages receivable and the mortgages and other receivables from Services issued during 2000.During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, operating expenses, excluding interest and including depreciation and amortization, were $14,600,000 and $11,830,000, respectively, (24.3% and 19.6%, respectively, of total revenues), $5,703,000 and $3,844,000 (29.7% and 19.1%, respectively, of total revenues) of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2000, is attributable to the increase in general operating and administrative expenses as a result of an increase in expenses related to technology, debt financing charges and professional services provided to the Company. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000, is attributable to an increase in general operating and administrative expenses as a result of an increase in expenses related to personnel related expenses, debt financing charges and professional services provided to the Company. In addition, the increase in general operating and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 is attributable to the increase in charges related to the costs incurred in acquiring the Company’s advisor from a related party. However, the increase in operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, is partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense related to the sale of 31 and ten properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the quarter ended December 31, 2000, respectively.The Company recognized $18,452,000 and $19,647,000 in interest expense for nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, $6,106,000 and $6,768,000 of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, primarily as a result of the decline in the average interest rate on the Company’s credit facility. However, the decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in the average borrowing levels of the Company’s Credit Facility and an increase in interest incurred related to the $20,000,000 of 8.5% notes payable issued in September 2000.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 affiliate. The net losses incurred by Services for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 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. Three of the Company’s tenants, Waccamaw/HomePlace, Heilig-Meyers and HomeLife (the “Tenants”), have each filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result, each of the Tenants has the right to reject or affirm its leases with the Company. HomeLife has filed a motion to reject all of five of its leases in the bankruptcy proceedings. Regardless of such election by HomeLife, Sears, Roebuck & Co., as assignor of the leases to HomeLife, will remain liable under the leases. Waccamaw/HomePlace rejected all five of its leases with the Company and surrendered the Properties to the Company. As of November 2001, Heilig-Meyers has rejected 12 of its 17 leases with the Company, and the lease for one of its Properties has been assigned to a new tenant pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code procedures. As of the respective lease rejection dates, Waccamaw/HomePlace and Heilig-Meyers were no longer required to pay rent, real estate taxes or 15Results of Operations – continued:insurance on the Properties. While Heilig-Meyers continues to lease four Properties, the tenant has not rejected or affirmed the remaining four leases and there can be no assurance that some or all of the leases will not be rejected in the future. The lost revenues and increased property expenses resulting from the rejection by any bankrupt tenant of any of their respective leases with the Company could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and results of operations of the Company if the Company is unable to re-lease the Properties at comparable rental rates and in a timely manner. Currently, the Company owns 22 vacant, unleased Properties, accounting for 12.8% of the total gross leasable area, and is actively marketing these 22 Properties.Anticipated Merger. On July 2, 2001, the Company announced that it had agreed to acquire Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Captec”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, which owns 136 freestanding, net lease properties located in 26 states. If the acquisition is consummated, Captec shareholders will receive approximately $12.1 million in cash, 4.35 million newly issued Commercial Net Lease Realty common shares and two million newly issued shares of Commercial Net Lease Realty’s 9% Class A Preferred Stock. The merger, which has been unanimously approved by both the Company’s and Captec’s Board of Directors, is subject to the approval of Captec’s shareholders. First Union Securities, Inc. served as a financial advisor to the Company and provided a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. The Company and Captec may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement under certain conditions; including if the merger is not approved by Captec’s shareholder’s or if the merger is not completed by January 31, 2002. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Company and/or Captec would be obligated to pay certain termination fees. The Company’s potential liability would not exceed the lesser of $1.0 million or Captec’s actual out-of-pocket expenses and transaction costs incurred in connection with the merger agreement. The Company’s management believes that the transaction will enhance the Company’s liquidity and capital markets profile through the issuance of common and preferred equity, and the Company’s management anticipates that the larger market capitalization of the Company following the merger will likely result in higher trading volumes and enhanced liquidity. The Company’s management also anticipates that the transaction will be immediately accretive to funds from operations. In addition, the Company’s management anticipates cost savings and reductions in expenses following the merger resulting from opportunities for economies of scale and operating efficiencies. 16ITEM 3.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2001, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. Amounts as of December 31, 2000, 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, 2000.The condensed 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.Certain items in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Stockholders’ equity or net earnings.In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 38, Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises. All business combinations in the scope of this statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. The Company is currently evaluating this statement to determine what impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.In June 2001, the FASB issued FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued FAS Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for

1. Basis of Presentation - continued: the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this statement to determine what impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.2. Leases:The Company generally leases its real estate to operators of major retail businesses. As of September 30, 2001, 146 of the leases have been classified as operating leases and 61 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 44 of these leases are accounted for as operating leases. Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years (expiring between 2001 and 2025) 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. Common Stock:In January 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to $200,000,000 in debt and equity securities (which includes approximately $180,000,000 of unissued debt and equity securities under the Company’s previous $300,000,000 shelf registration statement).In July 2001, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to 2,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan.

In April 2001, the Company entered into two new secured revolving lines of credit and security agreements with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services and modified an existing secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. In July 2001, the Company entered into a new secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. All secured revolving line of credit and security agreements between the Company and any wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiary Agreements.” The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements provide an aggregate borrowing capacity of $140,500,000 to Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each have expiration dates on October 31, 2003.In May 2001, Services and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries became direct borrowers under the Company’s $200,000,000 revolving credit facility.

6. Segment Information:
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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSThis 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. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as “believe,” “expect” and “may.” 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 availability of other debt and equity financing alternatives; market conditions affecting the Company’s equity capital; changes in interest rates under the Company’s current credit facilities and under any additional variable-rate debt arrangements that the Company may enter into in the future; the ability of the Company to integrate acquired properties and operations into existing operations; the ability of the Company to re-finance amounts outstanding under its credit facilities at maturity on terms favorable to the Company; the ability of the Company to locate suitable tenants for its Properties; the ability of tenants to make payments under their respective leases and the ability of the Company to re-lease properties that are currently vacant or that become vacant. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. IntroductionCommercial Net Lease Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation, 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 September 30, 2001, Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) owned, either directly or through a partnership interest, 239 properties (the “Properties”) substantially all of which are leased to major retail businesses.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesGeneral. 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, for the payment of interest on its outstanding indebtedness and for other investments. Generally, cash needs for items other than property acquisitions and development and other investments 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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company generated $36,484,000 and $39,060,000, respectively, in net cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in cash from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 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 these certain Properties 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. If required, the Company may use bank borrowings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.
12
Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued: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.Equity Securities. In January 2001, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to $200,000,000 in debt and equity securities (which includes approximately $180,000,000 of unissued debt and equity securities under the Company’s previous $300,000,000 shelf registration statement).In July 2001, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the issuance by the Company of up to 2,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan.On July 25, 2001, the Company entered into Restricted Stock Award Agreements (“Agreements”), with four of the Company’s executive officers (“Officers”) and five members of the Board of Directors (“Directors”). The stock awards were granted under the Company’s 2000 Performance Incentive Plan in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made in the Agreements. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company issued restricted stock grants to the Officers and Directors totaling 234,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively. The terms of the Agreements with the Officers provide that the restricted stock will vest at a rate of 15%-30% over approximately a five-year period ending on January 1, 2006 and automatically upon a change in control. The terms of the Agreements with the Directors provide that the restricted stock will vest equally over approximately a two-year period ending on January 1, 2003 and automatically upon a change in control. Property Dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company sold 31 of its Properties for a total of $36,947,000 and received net proceeds of $36,438,000. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of these 31 Properties of $4,765,000. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of 21 Properties to acquire additional Properties and structured the transactions to qualify as tax-free exchange transactions for federal income tax purposes. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of ten properties to pay down the outstanding indebtedness of the Company. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates. In March 2001, Commercial Net Lease Realty Services, Inc., an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company ("Services"), filed an election to become a taxable REIT subsidiary, effective January 1, 2001.In April 2001, the Company modified its existing Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Line of Credit and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Services to increase Services borrowing capacity from $65,000,000 to $85,000,000 and to modify certain provisions of the security agreement. In April 2001, the Company entered into two new secured revolving lines of credit and security agreements with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services and modified an existing secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. In July 2001, the Company entered into a new secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with another wholly-owned subsidiary of Services. All secured revolving line of credit and security agreements between the Company and any wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services are collectively referred to as the “Subsidiary Agreements.” The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements provide an aggregate borrowing capacity of $140,500,000 to Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each have expiration dates on October 31, 2003.In May 2001, Services and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries became direct borrowers under the Company’s $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued: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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company declared and paid dividends to its stockholders of $28,900,000 and $28,186,000, respectively, or $0.945 and $0.930 per share of common stock, respectively. In October 2001, the Company declared dividends to its shareholders of $9,737,000 or $0.315 per share of common stock, payable in November 2001 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2001. Results of OperationsAs of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company owned 230 and 268 wholly-owned Properties, respectively, 207 and 264, of which were leased to operators of major retail businesses, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $52,568,000 and $55,662,000, respectively, in rental income from operating leases, earned income from direct financing leases and contingent rental income (“Rental Income”), $16,613,000 and $18,308,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in Rental Income for the nine months ended September, 2001 is primarily a result of the decrease in Rental Income relating to the 31 properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 which were operational for the full nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in Rental Income is partially offset as a result of non-recurring additional Rental Income received during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $2,518,000 and $1,332,000, respectively, related to the termination of leases on 32 and three properties, respectively. The decrease in Rental Income for the quarter September 30, 2001 is primarily a result of the decrease in Rental Income relating to the 41 properties sold subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in Rental Income is partially offset as a result of non-recurring additional Rental Income received during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 of $1,015,000 and $273,000, respectively, related to the termination of leases on five and seven properties. The decrease in Rental Income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 can also be attributed to the 22 vacant, unleased Properties owned by the Company which account for 12.8% of the total gross leasable area. The Company is actively marketing these 22 Properties (see “Investment Considerations”).During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $888,000 and $768,000, respectively, in contingent rental income, $104,000 and $247,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in contingent rental income in 2001 is attributable to the adoption of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 “Revenue Recognition” (the “Bulletin”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for the recognition of contingent rental income. Accordingly, the Company has modified its revenue recognition policy and recognizes contingent rental income based on the tenants’ actual gross quarterly or annual sales pursuant to the terms of the leases. Adoption of this Bulletin resulted in the recognition of an additional $367,000 of contingent rental income during the quarter ended March 31, 2001.During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company sold 31 properties for a total of $36,947,000 and received net sales proceeds of $36,438,000. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of these 31 properties of $4,765,000 for financial reporting purposes. The Company used the proceeds from 21 of these properties to acquire additional properties and structured the transactions to qualify as a tax-free like-kind exchange transactions for federal income tax purposes. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of ten properties to pay down the outstanding indebtedness of the Company.

Results of Operations - continued:During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $6,255,000 and $3,735,000, respectively, in interest income, $1,984,000 and $1,556,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in interest earned during 2001 is attributable to higher outstanding balances of mortgages receivable and the mortgages and other receivables from Services issued during 2000.During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, operating expenses, excluding interest and including depreciation and amortization, were $14,600,000 and $11,830,000, respectively, (24.3% and 19.6%, respectively, of total revenues), $5,703,000 and $3,844,000 (29.7% and 19.1%, respectively, of total revenues) of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2000, is attributable to the increase in general operating and administrative expenses as a result of an increase in expenses related to technology, debt financing charges and professional services provided to the Company. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000, is attributable to an increase in general operating and administrative expenses as a result of an increase in expenses related to personnel related expenses, debt financing charges and professional services provided to the Company. In addition, the increase in general operating and administrative expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001 is attributable to the increase in charges related to the costs incurred in acquiring the Company’s advisor from a related party. However, the increase in operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, is partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense related to the sale of 31 and ten properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the quarter ended December 31, 2000, respectively.The Company recognized $18,452,000 and $19,647,000 in interest expense for nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, $6,106,000 and $6,768,000 of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, primarily as a result of the decline in the average interest rate on the Company’s credit facility. However, the decrease in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in the average borrowing levels of the Company’s Credit Facility and an increase in interest incurred related to the $20,000,000 of 8.5% notes payable issued in September 2000.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 affiliate. The net losses incurred by Services for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 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. Three of the Company’s tenants, Waccamaw/HomePlace, Heilig-Meyers and HomeLife (the “Tenants”), have each filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result, each of the Tenants has the right to reject or affirm its leases with the Company. HomeLife has filed a motion to reject all of five of its leases in the bankruptcy proceedings. Regardless of such election by HomeLife, Sears, Roebuck & Co., as assignor of the leases to HomeLife, will remain liable under the leases. Waccamaw/HomePlace rejected all five of its leases with the Company and surrendered the Properties to the Company. As of November 2001, Heilig-Meyers has rejected 12 of its 17 leases with the Company, and the lease for one of its Properties has been assigned to a new tenant pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code procedures. As of the respective lease rejection dates, Waccamaw/HomePlace and Heilig-Meyers were no longer required to pay rent, real estate taxes or

Results of Operations – continued:insurance on the Properties. While Heilig-Meyers continues to lease four Properties, the tenant has not rejected or affirmed the remaining four leases and there can be no assurance that some or all of the leases will not be rejected in the future. The lost revenues and increased property expenses resulting from the rejection by any bankrupt tenant of any of their respective leases with the Company could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and results of operations of the Company if the Company is unable to re-lease the Properties at comparable rental rates and in a timely manner. Currently, the Company owns 22 vacant, unleased Properties, accounting for 12.8% of the total gross leasable area, and is actively marketing these 22 Properties.Anticipated Merger. On July 2, 2001, the Company announced that it had agreed to acquire Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“Captec”), a publicly traded real estate investment trust, which owns 136 freestanding, net lease properties located in 26 states. If the acquisition is consummated, Captec shareholders will receive approximately $12.1 million in cash, 4.35 million newly issued Commercial Net Lease Realty common shares and two million newly issued shares of Commercial Net Lease Realty’s 9% Class A Preferred Stock. The merger, which has been unanimously approved by both the Company’s and Captec’s Board of Directors, is subject to the approval of Captec’s shareholders. First Union Securities, Inc. served as a financial advisor to the Company and provided a fairness opinion in connection with the transaction. The Company and Captec may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement under certain conditions; including if the merger is not approved by Captec’s shareholder’s or if the merger is not completed by January 31, 2002. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the Company and/or Captec would be obligated to pay certain termination fees. The Company’s potential liability would not exceed the lesser of $1.0 million or Captec’s actual out-of-pocket expenses and transaction costs incurred in connection with the merger agreement. The Company’s management believes that the transaction will enhance the Company’s liquidity and capital markets profile through the issuance of common and preferred equity, and the Company’s management anticipates that the larger market capitalization of the Company following the merger will likely result in higher trading volumes and enhanced liquidity. The Company’s management also anticipates that the transaction will be immediately accretive to funds from operations. In addition, the Company’s management anticipates cost savings and reductions in expenses following the merger resulting from opportunities for economies of scale and operating efficiencies.
