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).

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.
