NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998


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, 1999, may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.
Amounts as of December 31, 1998, 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, 1998.

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. The
Company is currently reviewing the Statement to see what impact, if any,
it will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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.

2. Leases:
------

The Company generally leases its real estate to operators of major retail
businesses. As of September 30, 1999, 185 of the leases have been
classified as operating leases and 84 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 48 of these leases are
accounted for as operating leases. Substantially all leases have initial
terms of 10 to 20 years (expiring between 2000 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. Real Estate:

$ 550,054 $ 519,948
============= =============

Some leases provide for scheduled rent increases throughout the lease
term. Such amounts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms
of the leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the
Company recognized $2,962,000 and $2,382,000, respectively, of such
income, $1,159,000 and $836,000 of which was recognized for the quarters
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments to be
received on non-cancelable operating leases at September 30, 1999 (dollars
in thousands):

1999 $ 13,691
2000 55,998

2002 56,747
2003 56,880
Thereafter 575,653
----------
$ 815,882
==========

Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the tenant,
the above table only presents future minimum lease payments due during the
initial lease terms. In addition, this table does not include any amounts
for future contingent rentals which may be received on the leases based on
a percentage of the tenants' gross sales.

---------
$ 249,132
=========

The above table does not include future minimum lease payments for renewal
periods or contingent rental payments that may become due in future
periods (see Real Estate: Accounted for Using the Operating Method).

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary:
---------------------------------------

In May 1999, the Company transferred its build-to-suit development
operation to a 95%-owned, taxable unconsolidated subsidiary (the
"Subsidiary"). The Company contributed $5.7 million of real estate and
other assets to the Subsidiary in exchange for 5,700 shares of non-voting
common stock. The Company accounts for its investment in the Subsidiary
using the equity method. The Company also entered into a secured line of
credit agreement with the Subsidiary for a $30,000,000 revolving credit
facility. The credit facility is secured by a first mortgage on the
Subsidiary's properties. In addition, the Company entered into a loan
agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Subsidiary for a
$20,000,000 revolving credit facility.

5. 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") which amended certain provisions of the Company's existing loan
agreement and which expires on July 30, 2000. As of September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the outstanding principal balance was $89,800,000 and
$138,100,000, respectively, plus accrued interest of $181,000 and
$361,000, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, interest cost
incurred on the Credit Facility was $6,088,000 and $3,121,000,
respectively, of which $487,000 and $779,000, respectively, was
capitalized, $5,242,000 and $2,342,000, respectively, was charged to
operations.

6. Notes Payable:
-------------

In June 1999, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to its
$300,000,000 shelf registration statement and issued $100,000,000 of
8.125% Notes due 2004 (the "Notes"). The Notes are senior, unsecured
obligations of the Company and are subordinated to all secured
indebtedness of the Company. The Notes were sold at a discount for an
aggregate purchase price of $99,608,000 with interest payable
semi-annually commencing on December 15, 1999. The discount of $392,000 is
being amortized as interest expense over the term of the debt obligation
using the effective interest method. In connection with the debt offering,
the Company entered into a treasury rate lock agreement which fixed a
treasury rate of 5.1854% on a notional amount of $92,000,000. Upon
issuance of the Notes, the Company terminated the treasury rate lock
agreement resulting in a gain of $2,679,000. The gain has been deferred
and is being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the term
of the Notes using the effective interest method. The effective rate of
the Notes, including the effects of the discount and the treasury rate
lock gain, is 7.547%.

The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in
part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount
of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon through the
redemption date and (ii) the make-whole amount, as defined in the
Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated June 21, 1999 for the Notes.

In connection with the debt offering, the Company incurred debt issuance
costs totaling $970,000, consisting primarily of underwriting discounts
and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and
printing expenses. Debt issuance costs have been deferred and are being
amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.
The net proceeds of the debt offering were used to pay down outstanding
indebtedness of the Company's Credit Facility.

on 1,642,159 and 859,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not
included in computing diluted earnings per share because their effects
were antidilutive.

8. Merger Transaction:
------------------

On December 18, 1997, the Company's stockholders voted to approve an
agreement and plan of merger with CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor"), whereby the stockholders of the Advisor agreed to exchange 100
percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Advisor for up to
2,200,000 shares (the "Share Consideration") of the Company's common stock
(the "Merger"). As a result, the Company became a fully integrated,
self-administered real estate investment trust effective January 1, 1998.
Since the effective date of the Merger, the Company has issued 998,000
shares incurring expenses of $14,462,000, all of which were charged to
operations. In addition, in connection with the property acquisitions
during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, on October 1, 1999, 98,776
shares became issuable to the stockholders of the Advisor. The market
value of the issuable shares is $1,099,000, all of which will be charged
to operations during the quarter ended December 31, 1999.

9. Related Party Transactions:
--------------------------

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company
provided certain development services for an affiliate of a member of the
board of directors. In connection therewith, the Company received
$1,351,000 and $1,806,000, respectively, in development fees relating to
these services.

In August 1999, the Company entered into an asset management agreement
with WXI/SMC Real Estate, LLC (the "LLC"), in which a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Subsidiary holds a 33 1/3% equity interest. Pursuant to
the asset management agreement, the LLC paid the Company $506,000 in fees
during the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

In March 1999, the Company sold 38 of its properties to an affiliate of a
member of the board of directors for a total of $36,568,000 and received
net proceeds of $36,173,000, resulting in a gain of $5,363,000 for
financial reporting purposes.

10. 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

11. Commitments and Contingencies:
-----------------------------

As of September 30, 1999, the Company owned and leased two land parcels to
a tenant which is obligated to develop a building on the respective land
parcels. The Company has agreed to acquire the completed buildings for an
aggregate amount of up to $1,371,000, at which time rental income is to
increase for each of the properties.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company owned one land parcel on which the
Company has agreed to construct a building for a prospective tenant on the
land parcel for construction costs of approximately $2,525,000, of which
$72,000 of costs had been incurred at September 30, 1999.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company entered into
a purchase and sale agreement whereby the Company acquired ten land
parcels leased to major retailers and has agreed to acquire the buildings
on each of the respective land parcels at the expiration of the initial
term of the ground lease for an aggregate amount of approximately $23
million. The seller of the buildings holds a security interest in each of
the land parcels which secures the Company's obligation to purchase the
buildings under the purchase and sale agreement.

12. Subsequent Event:
----------------

In October 1999, the Company declared dividends to its shareholders of
$9,426,000 or $0.31 per share of common stock, payable in November 1999.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is a fully integrated,
self-administrated real estate investment trust that acquires, owns, develops
and manages high-quality, freestanding properties leased to major retail
businesses under long-term commercial net leases. As of September 30, 1999, the
Company owned, either directly or through a partnership interest, 281 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 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 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,
or the sale of Properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company generated
$36,350,000 and $28,835,000 respectively, in net cash provided by operating
activities. The increase in cash from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 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.

Two of the Company's tenants, HomePlace and Luria's, each filed a voluntary
petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in January
1998 and August 1997, respectively. As a result, the tenants have the right to
reject or affirm their leases with the Company. In May 1998, HomePlace rejected
two of its five leases with the Company, at which time HomePlace was no longer
required to pay rent on these two leases. In September 1998, one of the
Properties was re-leased to Waccamaw Corporation. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, HomePlace emerged from bankruptcy and affirmed three of its
leases with the Company. The remaining Property is currently being marketed for
lease or sale. In March 1998, Luria's rejected its three leases with the
Company, at which time Luria's was no longer required to pay rent on these three
leases. Two of these Properties were re-leased in 1998 and one was sold in March
1999.

Indebtedness. In September 1999, the Company entered into an amended and
restated loan agreement for a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") which amended certain provisions of the Company's existing
loan agreement and which expires on July 30, 2000. As of September 30, 1999,
$89,800,000 was outstanding and approximately $110,200,000 was available for
future borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company expects to use the
Credit Facility to invest in freestanding retail properties.

Debt Securities. In June 1999, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to its
$300,000,000 shelf registration statement and issued $100,000,000 of 8.125%
Notes due 2004 (the "Notes"). The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the
Company and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Company. The
Notes were sold at a discount for an aggregate purchase price of $99,608,000
with interest payable semi-annually commencing on December 15, 1999. The
discount of $392,000 is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the
debt obligation using the effective interest method. In connection with the debt
offering, the Company entered into a treasury rate lock agreement which fixed a
treasury rate of 5.1854% on a notional amount of $92,000,000. Upon issuance of
the Notes, the Company terminated the treasury rate lock agreement resulting in
a gain of $2,679,000. The gain has been deferred and is being amortized as an
adjustment to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective
interest method. The effective rate of the Notes, including the effects of the
discount and the treasury rate lock gain, is 7.547%.

The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a
redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Notes being
redeemed plus accrued interest thereon through the redemption date and (ii) the
make-whole amount, as defined in the Supplemental Indenture No. 2 dated June 21,
1999 for the Notes.

In connection with the debt offering, the Company incurred debt issuance costs
totaling $970,000, consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and
commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing
expenses. Debt issuance costs have been deferred and are being amortized over
the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds of
the debt offering were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness of the
Company's Credit Facility.

Property Acquisitions and Commitments. During the nine months ended September
30, 1999, the Company borrowed $61,100,000 under its Credit Facility (i) to
acquire 35 properties, one of which is a land only parcel upon which a building
is currently under construction, (ii) to purchase three buildings constructed by
the tenants on land parcels owned by the Company and (iii) to complete
construction of ten buildings by the Company on previously acquired land
parcels.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company owned and leased two land parcels to a
tenant which is obligated to develop a building on the respective land parcels.
The Company has agreed to acquire the completed buildings for an aggregate
amount of up to $1,371,000, at which time rental income is to increase for each
of the Properties.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company owned one land parcel on which the Company
has agreed to construct a building for a prospective tenant on the land parcel
for an amount of approximately $2,525,000 of which $72,000 of costs had been
incurred at September 30, 1999.

In addition to the three buildings under construction as of September 30, 1999,
the Company may elect to acquire additional properties (or interests therein) in
the future. Such property acquisitions are expected to be the primary demand for
additional capital in the future. The Company anticipates that it may engage in
equity or debt financing, through either public or private offerings of its
securities for cash, issuance of such securities in exchange for assets, or a
combination of the foregoing. Subject to the constraints imposed by the
Company's Credit Facility and long-term, fixed rate financing, the Company may
enter into additional financing arrangements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company sold 42 of its
properties for a total of $44,231,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$43,641,000. The Company recognized a net gain on the sale of these 42
properties of $5,784,000 for financial reporting purposes. The Company
reinvested the proceeds from 41 of these properties to acquire additional
properties and leasehold interests and structured the transactions to qualify as
tax-free like-kind exchange transactions for federal income tax purposes.

Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary. In May 1999, the Company transferred
its build-to-suit development operation to a 95%-owned, taxable unconsolidated
subsidiary, (the "Subsidiary"). The Company contributed $5.7 million of real
estate and other assets to the Subsidiary in exchange for 5,700 shares of
non-voting common stock. The Company also entered into a secured line of credit
agreement with the Subsidiary for a $30,000,000 revolving credit facility. The
credit facility is secured by a first mortgage on the Subsidiary's properties.
In addition, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Subsidiary for a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility.

Merger Transaction. On December 18, 1997, the Company's stockholders voted to
approve an agreement and plan of merger with CNL Realty Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor"), whereby the stockholders of the Advisor agreed to exchange 100
percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Advisor for up to
2,200,000 shares (the "Share Consideration") of the Company's common stock (the
"Merger"). As a result, the Company became a fully integrated, self-administered
real estate investment trust effective January 1, 1998. Since the effective date
of the Merger, the Company has issued 998,000 shares incurring expenses of
$14,462,000, all of which were charged to operations. In addition, in connection
with the property acquisitions during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, on
October 1, 1999, 98,776 shares became issuable to the stockholders of the
Advisor. The market value of the issuable shares is $1,099,000, all of which
will be charged to operations during the quarter ended December 31, 1999.

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 nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the Company declared and paid dividends to its stockholders of $28,069,000 and
$26,570,000, respectively, or $0.93 and $0.92, respectively, per share of common
stock. In October 1999, the Company declared dividends to its shareholders of
$9,426,000 or $0.31 per share of common stock, payable in November 1999.

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

As of September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company owned 272 and 254 wholly-owned
Properties, respectively, 269 and 251, respectively, of which were leased to
operators of major retail businesses. In addition, during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Company sold 41 properties which were leased during 1999
and one property which was vacant. In connection therewith, during the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company earned $53,986,000 and
$44,024,000, respectively, in rental income from operating leases, earned income
from direct financing leases and contingent rental income ("Rental Income"),
$18,156,000 and $15,169,000 of which was earned during the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in Rental Income during
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, is primarily a result of
the facts that (i) the 55 Properties acquired and 15 buildings upon which
construction was completed during 1998 were operational for a full quarter and
nine months in 1999 and (ii) the Company acquired 35 Properties and 13 buildings
upon which construction was completed during the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in Rental Income was partially offset by a decrease in Rental
Income relating to 41 leased Properties which were sold during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. Rental Income is expected to increase as the Company
acquires additional properties and due to the fact that the 35 Properties and 13
of the buildings acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, will
contribute to the Company's income for a full fiscal quarter in future quarters.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company earned
$2,113,000 and $1,969,000, respectively, in development and asset management
fees, $609,000 and $527,000 of which were earned during the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company began providing
development and asset management services on January 1, 1998 in connection with
the Merger of the Company's Advisor. The increase in development and asset
management fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 is
attributable to an increase in asset management services provided.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, operating expenses,
excluding interest and including depreciation and amortization, were $20,918,000
and $14,979,000, respectively, (36.7% and 32.2%, respectively, of total
revenues) $4,318,000 and $3,942,000 (22.7% and 24.9%, respectively, of total
revenues) of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The increase in the amount of operating expenses for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, is primarily attributable to the charges
related to the costs incurred in acquiring the Company's Advisor from a related
party. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
excluding the costs relating to the acquisition of the Advisor were $11,957,000
and $10,287,000 (20.9% and 22.1%, respectively, of total revenues), $3,524,000
and $3,942,000 (18.6% and 24.9%, respectively, of total revenues) of which was
incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998, is also attributable to
the increase in depreciation expense as a result of the additional Properties
acquired during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, and a full quarter of
depreciation expense relating to the 55 Properties and 15 buildings acquired
during 1998. The increase in depreciation expense was partially offset by a
decrease in depreciation expense related to the sale of 42 properties during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The decrease in operating expenses for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the quarter ended September 30,
1998 is primarily attributable to the transfer of the Company's build-to-suit
development operation to the Subsidiary.

The Company recognized $15,797,000 and $9,175,000 in interest expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, $5,663,000 and
$3,307,000 of which was incurred during the quarters ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively. Interest expense increased during the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1999, primarily as a result of higher average
borrowing levels on the Company's Credit Facility and the issuance of the Notes
in March 1998 and in June 1999. However, the increase was partially offset by a
decrease in the average interest rates of the Company's Credit Facility.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

Overview of Year 2000 Problem. The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of
information and non-information technology systems to properly recognize and
process date sensitive information beyond January 1, 2000. The failure to
accurately recognize the year 2000 could result in a variety of problems from
data miscalculations to the failure of entire systems.

Information and Non-Information Technology Systems. The information technology
system of the Company consists of a network of personal computers and servers
built using hardware and software from mainstream suppliers. The non-information
technology systems of the Company are primarily facility related and include
building security systems, elevators, fire suppressions, HVAC, electrical
systems and other utilities. The Company has no internally generated programmed
software coding to correct, because substantially all of the software utilized
by the Company is purchased or licensed from external providers. The maintenance
of non-information technology systems at the Company's Properties is the
responsibility of the tenants of the Properties in accordance with the terms of
the Company's leases.

The Y2K Team. In early 1998, the Company formed a Year 2000 committee (the "Y2K
Team") for the purpose of identifying, understanding and addressing the various
issues associated with the Year 2000 problem. The Y2K Team consists of members
of the Company and its affiliates, including representatives from senior
management, information systems, telecommunications, legal, office management,
accounting and property management.

Assessing Year 2000 Readiness. The Y2K Team's initial step in assessing Year
2000 readiness consisted of identifying any systems that are date-sensitive and,
accordingly, could have potential Year 2000 problems. The Y2K Team has conducted
inspections, interviews and tests to identify which of the Company's systems
could have a potential Year 2000 problem.

The information system of the Company is comprised of hardware and software
applications from mainstream suppliers. Accordingly, the Y2K Team has contacted
and is evaluating documentation from the respective vendors and manufacturers to
verify the Year 2000 compliance of their products. The Y2K Team has also
requested and is evaluating documentation from the non-information technology
systems providers of the Company.

In addition, the Y2K Team has requested and is evaluating documentation of Y2K
readiness from other companies with which the Company has material third party
relationships. The third parties in addition to the providers of information and
non-information technology systems, consist of the Company's transfer agent and
financial institutions ("Third Parties"). The Company depends on its transfer
agent to maintain and track investor information and its financial institutions
for availability of cash.

As of September 30, 1999, the Y2K Team had received written responses from all
of the Third Parties indicating that they are currently Year 2000 compliant.
Although the Y2K Team has received positive responses from the companies with
which the Company has third party relationships regarding their Year 2000
compliance, the Company cannot be assured that the Third Parties have adequately
considered the impact of the Year 2000.

In addition, the Y2K Team has requested documentation of Y2K readiness from the
Company's tenants. As of September 30, 1999, all of the responses received from
the tenants indicate that they are currently Year 2000 compliant or will be Year
2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. The Company is in the process of
contacting all tenants which have not yet responded to the request for
documentation. The Company cannot be assured that the tenants have adequately
considered the impact of the Year 2000. The Company has also instituted a policy
of requiring all new tenants to indicate that their systems are Year 2000
compliant or are expected to be Year 2000 compliant prior to the year 2000.

Achieving Year 2000 Compliance. The Y2K Team has identified and completed
upgrades for its hardware equipment that was not Year 2000 compliant. In
addition, the Y2K Team has identified the software applications which will
require upgrades to become Year 2000 compliant. The Y2K Team expects all of
these upgrades, as well as any other necessary remedial measures on the
information technology systems and non-information technology systems used in
the business activities and operations of the Company, to be completed by
December 31, 1999, although, the Company cannot be assured that the upgrade
solutions provided by the vendors have addressed all possible Year 2000 issues.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company does not expect the aggregate cost of the
Year 2000 remedial measures to exceed $50,000 which will not have a material
impact on its results of operations.

Assessing the Risks to the Company of Non-Compliance and Developing
Contingency Plans

Risk of Failure of Information and Non-Information Technology Systems Used by
the Company. The Y2K Team believes that the reasonably likely worst case
scenario with regard to the information and non-information technology systems
used by the Company is the failure of one or more of these systems as a result
of Year 2000 problems. Because the Company's major source of income is rental
payments under long-term triple-net leases, any failure of information or
non-information technology systems used by the Company is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations. Even if such systems
failed, the payments under the Company's leases would not be affected. In
addition, the Y2K Team is expected to correct any Y2K problems within its
control before the year 2000.

The Y2K Team has determined that a contingency plan to address this risk is not
necessary at this time. However, if the Y2K Team identifies additional risks
associated with the Year 2000 compliance of the information or non-information
technology systems used by the Company or if the progress of the Y2K Team in
remediating Year 2000 problems with such systems deviates from the anticipated
timeline, the Y2K Team will develop a contingency plan if deemed necessary at
that time.

Risk of Inability of Transfer Agent to Accurately Maintain Company Records. The
Y2K Team believes that the reasonably likely worst case scenario with regard to
the Company's transfer agent is that the transfer agent will fail to achieve
Year 2000 compliance of its systems and will not be able to accurately maintain
the records of the Company. This could result in the inability of the Company to
accurately identify its stockholders for purposes of dividend payments, delivery
of disclosure materials and transfers of common stock. The Y2K Team has received
certification from the Company's transfer agent of its Year 2000 compliance.
Despite the positive response from the transfer agent, the Company cannot be
assured that the transfer agent has addressed all possible Year 2000 issues.

Risk of Loss of Short-Term Liquidity from Failure of Financial Institutions to
Achieve Year 2000 Compliance. The Y2K Team believes that the reasonably likely
worst case scenario with regard to the Company's financial institutions is that
some or all of the Company's funds on deposit with such financial institutions
may be temporarily unavailable. The Y2K Team has received responses from all of
the Company's financial institutions indicating that their systems are currently
Year 2000 compliant. Despite the positive responses from the financial
institutions, the Company cannot be assured that the financial institutions have
addressed all possible Year 2000 issues. The loss of short-term liquidity could
affect the Company's ability to pay its expenses on a current basis. The Company
does not anticipate that a loss of short-term liquidity would have a material
impact on its results of operations.

Based upon the responses received from the Company's financial institutions and
the inability of the Y2K team to identify a suitable alternative for the deposit
of funds that is not subject to potential Year 2000 problems, the Y2K Team has
determined not to develop a contingency plan to address this risk.

Risks of Late Payment or Non-Payment by Tenants. The Y2K Team believes that the
reasonably likely worst case scenario with regard to the tenants under the
Company's leases is that some of the tenants may make payments late as the
result of the failure of the tenants to achieve Year 2000 compliance of their
systems used in the payment of rent, the failure of the tenants' financial
institutions to achieve Year 2000 compliance, or the temporary disruption of the
tenants' businesses. The Y2K Team is in the process of requesting responses from
the Company's tenants indicating the extent to which their systems are currently
Year 2000 compliant or are expected to be Year 2000 compliant prior to the year
2000. The Company cannot be assured that the tenants have addressed all possible
Year 2000 issues. The late payment by one or more tenants would affect the
Company's results of operations in the short-term. The Company is not able to
estimate the impact of late payments on its results of operations.

The Y2K Team is also aware of predictions that the Year 2000 problem, if
uncorrected, may result in a global economic crisis. The Y2K Team is not able to
determine if such predictions are true. A widespread disruption of the economy
could affect the ability of the Company's tenants to make rental payments and,
accordingly, could have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations.

Because rental payments are under the control of the Company's tenants, the Y2K
Team is not able to develop a contingency plan to address these risks. In the
event of late payment or non-payment of rental payments, the Company will assess
the remedies available to it under its lease agreements.

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. The Company is currently reviewing
the Statement to see what impact, if any, it will have on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 Property and the ability of tenants to make payments
under their respective leases.
