REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
==========================================
September 30, 1996
(Unaudited)

1. Management Statement and General
- ------------------------------------

The financial statements of Realty Income Corporation
("Realty Income" or the "Company") were prepared from the books
and records of the Company without audit or verification and in
the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair
statement of results for the interim periods presented. Readers
of this quarterly report should refer to the audited financial
statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1995,
which are included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as certain disclosures which would substantially duplicate
those contained in such audited financial statements have been
omitted from this report.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and of Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). SFAS 121 provides guidance for
the recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived
assets, including goodwill, related both to assets to be held and
used and assets to be disposed of. Under SFAS 121, a provision
for impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used
if estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest
charges) over a long-term holding period, plus estimated
disposition proceeds (undiscounted) are less than current book
value. In addition, for assets to be disposed of, a provision
for impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the
current book value of the asset to be disposed of exceeds its
fair value less cost to sell.

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company recorded
provision for impairment losses of $323,000 related to two
properties to be disposed of. No provision was recognized in
1995.

Certain of the 1995 balances have been reclassified to
conform to 1996 presentation. The reclassifications had no
effect on stockholders' equity or net income.






Page 9
2.  Credit Facility
- -------------------

The Company has a $130 million, three-year, revolving,
unsecured acquisition credit facility that expires in November
1998. As of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
outstanding balance on the credit facility was $36.6 million and
$6.0 million, respectively, with an effective interest rate of
approximately 6.88% and 7.19%, respectively. A commitment fee of
0.15%, per annum, accrues on the average amount of the unused
available credit commitment. The fee can increase up to 0.35% if
the Company reaches certain debt levels.

The credit facility is subject to various leverage and
interest coverage ratio limitations, all of which the Company is
and has been in compliance with.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
interest of $91,000 and $187,000, respectively, was capitalized
on properties under construction. For the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, interest of $51,000 and $29,000,
respectively, was so capitalized.

3. Notes Payable

respectively. Interest incurred on the notes for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $0 and $239,000,
respectively.

Page 14
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
=======

Realty Income Corporation ("Realty Income" or the "Company")
is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate company with
in-house acquisition, leasing, legal, financial underwriting,
portfolio management and capital markets expertise. The seven
senior officers of the Company have each participated in the
management of the Company's properties and operations for between
six and 27 years. Realty Income has elected to be taxed as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT"). As of September 30, 1996,
Realty Income owned a diversified portfolio of 700 properties in
42 states consisting of over 4.7 million square feet of leasable
space.

Realty Income typically acquires, then leases back, retail
store locations from retail chain store operators, providing
capital to the operators for continued expansion and other
purposes. The Company concentrates its investments in single-
tenant, retail properties leased to national and regional retail
chains under long-term, triple-net lease agreements. Triple-net
leases typically require the tenant to be responsible for
substantially all property operating costs including property
taxes, insurance, maintenance and structural repairs. Management
believes that long-term leases, coupled with tenants assuming
responsibility for property expenses under the triple-net lease
structure, generally produce a more predictable income stream
than many other types of real estate portfolios.

The Company's primary business objective is to generate a
consistent and predictable level of funds from operations ("FFO")
per share and provide distributions to stockholders.
Additionally, the Company generally will seek to increase FFO per
share and provide distributions to stockholders through both
internal and external growth, while also seeking to lower the
ratio of distributions to stockholders as a percentage of FFO in
order to allow internal cash flow to be used to fund additional
acquisitions and for other corporate purposes. The Company
pursues internal growth through (i) contractual rent increases on
existing leases; (ii) rental increases at the termination of
existing leases when market conditions permit; and (iii) the
active management of the Company's property portfolio, including
selective sales of properties. The Company generally pursues
external growth through the acquisition of additional properties
under long-term, triple-net lease agreements with initial
contractual base rent which, at the time of acquisition, is in
excess of the Company's estimated cost of capital.


Page 15
Prior to August 17, 1995, the Company's day-to-day affairs
were managed by R.I.C. Advisor, Inc. (the "Advisor") which
provided advice and assistance regarding acquisitions of
properties by the Company and performed the day-to-day management
of the Company's properties and business. On August 17, 1995,
the Advisor was merged with and into Realty Income (the
"Merger"). As part of the Merger the advisory agreement between
the Company and the Advisor was terminated.

In July 1996, the Company expanded its board of directors to
seven members. The new directors are Richard J. VanDerhoff,
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Willard
H. Smith, formerly a Managing Director, Equity Capital Markets
Division, of Merrill Lynch & Co from 1983 until his recent
retirement in August 1995.

In October 1996, the Company changed transfer agents from
Chase Mellon Shareholder Services to The Bank of New York.

The Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "O."

Liquidity and Capital Resources
===============================

Cash Reserves
-------------

Realty Income was organized for the purpose of operating as
an equity REIT which distributes to stockholders, in the form of
monthly cash distributions, a substantial portion of its net cash
flow generated from lease revenue. The Company intends to retain
an appropriate amount of cash as working capital reserves. At
September 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
totaling $1.4 million.

Management believes that the Company's cash on hand, cash
provided from operating activities and borrowing capacity are
sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable
future.

Capital Funding
---------------

Realty Income has a $130 million three-year, revolving,
unsecured acquisition credit facility that expires in November
1998. The credit facility currently bears interest at 1.25% over
the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and offers the
Company other interest rate options. As of October 31, 1996,
$93.4 million of borrowing capacity was available to the Company
under the acquisition credit facility. At that time, the

Page 16
outstanding balance was $36.6 million.  This credit facility was
used to payoff senior notes, and has been and is expected to be
used to acquire additional retail properties leased to national
and regional retail chains under long term lease agreements.
Borrowings to fund additional properties will increase the
Company's exposure to interest rate risk.

On March 29, 1996, senior notes totaling $12.6 million were
redeemed at par. Proceeds from borrowings under the acquisition
credit facility were used to redeem the notes.

Realty Income expects to meet its long-term capital needs for
the acquisition of properties through the issuance of public or
private debt or equity. In August 1995, the Company filed a
universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission covering up to $200 million in value of
common stock, preferred stock or debt securities.

In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company issued 2,540,000
shares of common stock at a price of $19.625 per share. The net
proceeds of $46.4 million from the stock offering were used to
repay borrowings under the acquisition credit facility. These
borrowings were used to acquire properties in 1995.

The Company is not currently involved in any negotiations and
has not entered into any arrangements relating to any additional
securities issuances.

Property Acquisitions
---------------------

During the first nine months of 1996, Realty Income purchased
20 retail properties in 11 states for $22.8 million (including
the estimated unfunded development costs on nine properties under
construction totaling $4.0 million). These 20 properties will
contain approximately 129,800 leasable square feet and are 100%
leased under triple-net leases, with an average initial lease
term of 16.5 years. The weighted average annual unleveraged
return on the cost of the 20 properties is estimated to be 10.7%,
computed as estimated contractual net operating income (which in
the case of a triple-net leased property is equal to the base
rent or, in the case of properties under construction, the
estimated base rent under the lease) for the first year divided
by the total acquisition and estimated development costs. No
assurance can be given that the actual return on the cost of the
20 properties acquired in 1996 will not differ from the foregoing
percentage.

In 1996, the Company also invested $923,000 in four
development properties originally acquired in 1995. These four
development properties have been completed and the tenants are

Page 17
paying rent.  Final construction costs of $358,000 are expected
to be funded on two of these properties in the fourth quarter of
1996. Land adjacent to an existing property in the portfolio was
acquired for $102,000 and leased to the Company's adjacent
tenant.

During 1996, the Company also invested $9,000 in existing
properties and purchased the outstanding Class A units in R.I.C.
Trade Center, Ltd., Silverton Business Center, Ltd. and Empire
Business Center, Ltd. for an aggregate of $150,000. After this
purchase, Realty Income owned 100% of these partnerships, which
were then dissolved. These partnerships owned three mixed-use
light industrial business parks in San Diego, CA.

From December 1994 through September 1996, Realty Income
acquired 82 retail properties (the "New Properties") for an
aggregate cost of approximately $92.9 million (including the
estimated unfunded development costs on nine properties totaling
$4.4 million). The New Properties are located in 20 states,
contain approximately 790,600 leasable square feet and are 100%
leased under triple-net leases, with an average initial lease
term of 16.5 years. The weighted average annual unleveraged
return on the cost of the New Properties is estimated to be
11.2%. No assurance can be given that the actual return on the
cost of the New Properties will not differ from the foregoing
percentage.

Of the New Properties, 73 were occupied as of September 30,
1996 and the remaining nine were pre-leased and under
construction pursuant to contracts under which the tenants have
agreed to develop the properties (with development costs funded
by the Company) and to begin paying rent when the premises open
for business. All of the New Properties, including the
properties under development, are leased with initial terms of 10
to 20 years. The New Properties were purchased with $18.1
million of cash on hand and $70.4 million from the acquisition
credit facility (of which, $46.4 million was repaid from the net
proceeds of the stock offering). The allocation of costs between
land, and buildings and improvements on the 73 completed and
occupied New Properties was 40.5% and 59.5%, respectively.

(1)  The Company acquired these properties, which are under
construction, as undeveloped land and is funding construction and
other costs relating to the development of the properties by the
prospective tenants. The prospective tenants have entered into
leases with the Company covering these properties and are
contractually obligated to complete construction on a timely
basis and to pay construction cost overruns to the extent they
exceed the construction budget by more than 5%. As of
September 30, 1996, the total acquisition and estimated
construction costs for the nine properties under development was
$6.7 million, of which $4.0 million had not been funded.

Distributions
-------------

Cash distributions paid during the first nine months of 1996
totaled $37.3 million, including a special distribution of $5.3
million. Cash distributions paid during the comparable period in
1995 totaled $26.8 million. During the first nine months of
1996, the Company paid a special distribution of $0.23 per share
and nine monthly distributions of $0.155 per share, totaling
$1.625 per share. During the first nine months of 1995, the
Company paid seven monthly distributions of $0.15 per share and
increased its monthly distribution to $0.155 per share in August
and September. The distributions for the first nine months of
1995 totaled $1.36 per share.

In September and October 1996, the Company declared two
distributions of $0.155 per share payable on October 15, 1996 and
November 15, 1996, respectively.

Funds from Operations ("FFO")
=============================

FFO for the third quarter of 1996 was $11.7 million versus
$10.0 million during the third quarter of 1995, an increase of
$1.7 million or 16.6%. FFO for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was $34.6 million versus $28.7 million during
the comparable period in 1995, an increase of $5.9 million or
20.7%. Realty Income defines FFO as net income before gain
(loss) on sales of properties, plus provision for impairment
losses on properties held for sale, plus depreciation and
amortization. In accordance with the recommendations of the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"),
amortization of deferred financing costs are not added back to
net income to calculate FFO. Amortization of financing costs are
included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of
income.

Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the
performance of an equity REIT. FFO is used by financial analysts

Page 20
in evaluating REITs and can be one measure of a REIT's ability to
make cash distribution payments. Presentation of this
information provides the reader with an additional measure to
compare the performance of different REITs.

FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to
fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to
cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as
a measure of liquidity or ability to make cash distributions.

Below is a reconciliation of net income to FFO for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 1995:

Results of Operations
=====================

The following is a comparison of the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995.

Rental revenue was $13.8 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 versus $13.0 million for the comparable
quarter in 1995, an increase of $754,000. The increase in rental
revenue was primarily due to the New Properties. In the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the New Properties generated
revenue of $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, an
increase of $669,000. Percentage rent, which is included in
rental revenue, in the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 was
$247,000 and $274,000, respectively.

Rental revenue was $41.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 versus $37.0 million for the comparable nine
months in 1995, an increase of $4.1 million. The increase in
rental revenue was primarily due to the New Properties. In the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the New Properties
generated revenue of $6.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively,
an increase of $3.8 million. Percentage rent for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $567,000 and $599,000,
respectively.

At September 30, 1996, 658 or 96.1% of the Company's leases,
on the 685 occupied single-tenant properties, provide for
increases in rents through (i) base rent increases tied to a
consumer price index with adjustment ceilings or (ii) overage
rent based on a percentage of the tenants' gross sales. Some
leases contain both types of clauses. Rental revenue generated
on 621 properties owned during both the first nine months of 1995
and 1996 increased by $384,000 or 1.1%, from $34.7 million to
$35.1 million. Rental revenue generated on 621 properties owned
during both the third quarter of 1995 and 1996 increased by
$103,000 or 0.9%, from $11.6 million to $11.7 million. When
comparing 1996 to 1995, same store revenue increased at a slower
pace during the third quarter than during the first nine months,
due to an increase in unleased properties during 1996.

Unleased properties are a factor in determining gross revenue
generated and property costs incurred by the Company. At
September 30, 1996, the Company had eight properties that were
not under lease as compared to three properties at September 30,
1995. Four of the eight unleased properties at September 30,
1996 became available for lease during the second and third
quarters of 1996. One of these properties was sold in October
1996 at a nominal gain. The remaining 692 properties were under
lease agreements with third party tenants.

Interest revenue decreased by $21,000 in the third quarter of
1996 to $27,000 from $48,000 in 1995 and by $127,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 to $77,000 from $204,000 in 1995.
The decrease in interest for both periods was due to lower cash
balances, which reflects the Company's desire to maintain an
appropriate amount of cash as working capital reserves and invest
excess available cash in properties.

Depreciation and amortization was $4.1 million in the third
quarter of 1996 verses $3.9 million for the comparable quarter in
1995 and $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 verses $10.8 million for the comparable nine months in 1995.
The increase in 1996 was primarily due to the depreciation of the
New Properties and amortization of goodwill recorded in
connection with the Merger.

Total advisor fees and general and administrative expenses
decreased by $397,000 to $1.3 million in the third quarter of
1996 versus $1.7 million in 1995. General and administrative
expenses were $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1996 versus
$916,000 in 1995 and advisor fees of $753,000 in 1995. The
$356,000 increase in general and administrative expenses was due
to the Merger of the Advisor. Subsequent to the Merger, the
Company commenced paying management, accounting systems, office
facilities, professional and support personnel expenses (i.e.
costs of being self-administered). Such costs were the
responsibility of the Advisor through August 17, 1995, which
received advisor fees of $753,000 in the third quarter of 1995.
As part of the Merger, the advisory agreement was terminated.

Page 23
Total advisor fees and general and administrative expenses
decreased by $1.7 million to $3.9 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 versus $5.6 million in 1995. General
and administrative expenses were $3.9 million in 1996 versus $1.9
million in 1995 and advisor fees of $3.7 million in 1995. The
$2.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses was
due to the Merger of the Advisor. Subsequent to the Merger, the
Company commenced paying for management, accounting systems,
office facilities, professional and support personnel expenses
(i.e. costs of being self-administered). Such costs were the
responsibility of the Advisor through August 17, 1995, which
received advisor fees of $3.7 million in the first nine months of
1995.

During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company
initiated a 401(k) plan. Costs of $32,000 associated with the
plan are included in general and administrative expenses.

Property expenses are broken down into costs associated with
multi-tenant non-triple net lease properties, unleased single-
tenant properties and general portfolio expenses. Costs related
to the multi-tenant and unleased single-tenant properties
include, but are not limited to, property taxes, maintenance,
insurance, utilities, site checks, bad debt expense and legal
fees. General portfolio costs include, but are not limited to,
insurance, legal, site checks and title search fees.

Costs incurred on the nine multi-tenant properties during the
third quarter of 1996 and ten multi-tenant properties in the
comparable period of 1995 totaled $271,000 and $297,000,
respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in
maintenance and utilities. During the second quarter of 1996
two of the multi-tenant locations became vacant, one of which was
sold in October 1996. Costs incurred on the six unleased single-
tenant properties in the third quarter of 1996 and three unleased
single-tenant properties in the third quarter of 1995 were
$58,000 and $27,000, respectively. The increase is due to
property taxes, maintenance and utilities on the additional
vacant properties. General portfolio costs in 1996 and 1995
totaled $68,000 and $89,000, respectively. The decrease in
general portfolio costs is primarily due to a decrease in
insurance costs.

Costs incurred on the nine multi-tenant properties during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and ten multi-tenant
properties in the comparable period of 1995 totaled $830,000 and
$790,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in
property taxes. Costs incurred on the six unleased single-tenant
properties during the first nine months of 1996 and three
unleased single-tenant properties in the comparable period of
1995 were $149,000 and $70,000. The increase is due to property

Page 24
taxes, maintenance and utilities on the additional vacant
properties. General portfolio costs in 1996 and 1995 totaled
$277,000.

Interest expense is made up of four components which include:
(i) interest on outstanding loans and notes; (ii) commitment fees
on the undrawn portion of the credit facility; (iii) amortization
of the credit facility origination costs; which are offset by:
(iv) interest capitalized on properties under development.
Interest capitalized on properties under development is included
in the cost of the completed property and amortized over the
estimated useful life of the property.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 1996 was $497,000
as compared to $1.0 million for 1995. Interest incurred in 1996
and 1995 was $454,000 and $936,000, respectively. Interest
incurred was lower in 1996 than in 1995 due to a decrease in the
average outstanding balance and lower interest rates on the
acquisition credit facility and senior notes. During the third
quarter of 1996, the average outstanding balance and interest
rate were $26.1 million and 6.92% as compared to $49.8 million
and 7.45% during the comparable period in 1995. Included in the
interest incurred in 1996 and 1995 was capitalized interest
totaling $51,000 and $30,000, respectively. Commitment fees in
1996 were $39,000 as compared to $24,000 in 1995. In 1996 and
1995, a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum was incurred on the
undrawn portion of the credit facility. Commitment fees
increased in 1996 because the borrowing capacity was increased to
$130 million from $100 million in December 1995. Amortization of
the credit facility origination fees were $55,000 in 1996 as
compared to $86,000 in 1995. The amortized credit facility
origination fees decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995, because
in December 1995 the term of the credit facility was extended one
year, which extended the period of time over which unamortized
fees are amortized.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $1.5 million as compared to $1.9 million for 1995. Interest
incurred in 1996 and 1995 was $1.3 million and $1.7 million,
respectively. Interest incurred was lower in 1996 than in 1995
due to a decrease in the average outstanding balance and lower
interest rates on the acquisition credit facility and senior
notes. During the first nine months of 1996, the average
outstanding balance and interest rate were $25.1 million and
6.96% as compared to $30.4 million and 7.69% during the
comparable period in 1995. Included in the interest incurred in
1996 and 1995 was capitalized interest totaling $91,000 and
$187,000, respectively. Commitment fees in 1996 were $124,000 as
compared to $94,000 in 1995. In 1996 and 1995, a commitment fee
of 0.15% per annum was incurred on the undrawn portion of the
credit facility. Commitment fees increased in 1996 because the

Page 25
borrowing capacity was increased to $130 million from $100
million in December 1995. Amortization of the credit facility
origination fees were $164,000 in 1996 as compared to $254,000 in
1995. The amortized credit facility origination fees decreased
in 1996 as compared to 1995, because in December 1995 the term of
the credit facility was extended one year, which extended the
period of time over which unamortized fees are amortized.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In the first quarter
of 1996, a $323,000 charge was taken to reduce the net carrying
value on two properties because they were held for sale. No
charge was recorded for an impairment loss in 1995.

The Company anticipates a small number of property sales will
occur in the normal course of business. During the third quarter
of 1996, the Company recorded a gain of $268,000 on the sale of
one multi-tenant property and two restaurant properties. These
sales generated cash proceeds of $1.4 million. During the
comparable period of 1995, the Company sold one child care
property for $148,000 and recognized a loss of $21,000.

During the first nine months 1996, the Company recorded a
gain of $1.2 million on the sale of one multi-tenant property,
four restaurant properties and the granting of an easement on
another property. During 1995, the Company recorded a net gain
of $56,000 on the sale of one child care property and one multi-
tenant property. During 1996 and 1995 cash proceeds generated
from these sales were $3.6 million and $463,000, respectively.

For the third quarter of 1996, the Company had net income of
$7.9 million versus $6.1 million in 1995. The $1.8 million
increase in net income is primarily due to an increase in rental
revenue from New Properties of $669,000 and a decrease in
interest, advisor fees, general and administrative expenses of
$916,000, offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization
expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had
net income of $23.4 million versus $17.9 million in 1995. The
$5.5 million increase in net income is primarily due to an
increase in rental revenue of $3.8 million on the New Properties
and a net decrease in interest, advisor fees, general and
administrative expenses of $2.1 million, offset by an increase in
depreciation and amortization expense.

(1) Approximate total number of retail locations in operation
under this format (including both corporate owned and franchised
locations), based on information provided to the Company by the
respective tenants in the first quarter of 1996.

(2) Does not include percentage rents (i.e., additional rent
calculated as a percentage of the tenant's gross sales above a
specified level), if any, that may be payable under leases
covering certain of the properties. Annualized base rent is
calculated by multiplying the monthly contractual base rent as of
September 30, 1996 for each of the properties by 12.

Of the 700 properties owned at September 30, 1996, 691 are
single-tenant with the remaining being multi-tenant properties.
The average remaining lease term for all leases on the Company's
properties, excluding the multi-tenant properties, is

Page 30
approximately 8.8 years.  The lease expirations for nine
properties under construction are based on the estimated date of
completion of such properties.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding
the timing of lease expirations on the Company's 685 triple-net
leased, single tenant retail properties:

Impact Of Inflation
===================

Tenant leases generally provide for increases in rent as a
result of increases in the tenant's sales volumes or increases in
the consumer price index. Management expects that inflation will
cause these lease provisions to result in increases in rent over
time. However, inflation and increased costs may have an adverse
impact on the tenants if increases in the tenant's operating
expenses exceed increases in revenue. Approximately 98% of the
properties are leased to tenants under triple-net leases in which
the tenant is responsible for substantially all property costs
and expenses. These features in the leases reduce the Company's
exposure to rising expenses due to inflation.
