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, develops, 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.

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, 1997, the Company borrowed
$152,600,000 under its credit facility to acquire 47 properties and three
buildings which were developed by the tenant on land parcels owned by the
Company. As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned 236 properties (the
"Properties") that are leased to major businesses, including Academy, Babies "R"
Us, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Borders, Burger King, 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, Robb & Stucky, Scotty's,
Sears, Sports Authority, SuperValu and Waccamaw. The Company's Property
portfolio was 100 percent leased at December 31, 1997.

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 leases of each
of the Company's Properties require payment of base rent plus, generally, either
percentage rent based on the tenant's gross sales or contractual increases in
base rent.

During 1997, two of the Company's lessees, Eckerd Corporation and
Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc., each accounted for more than ten percent of
the Company's total rental income (including the Company's share of rental
income from nine properties owned by the Company's unconsolidated partnership).
As of December 31, 1997, Eckerd Corporation and Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc.
leased 43 Properties and 13 Properties, respectively (including four properties
and one property, respectively, under leases with the Company's unconsolidated
partnership). It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments
required by the leases, Eckerd Corporation and Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc.
will each continue to account for more than ten percent of the Company's total
rental income in 1998. Any failure of these lessees could materially affect the
Company's income.

Three of the Company's tenants, HomePlace, Luria's and Levitz (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 one or more of its leases with the Company. As of December 31,
1997, HomePlace, Luria's and Levitz leased five, three and one Properties,
respectively, which accounted for 4.5 percent of the Company's total rental and
earned income for the year ended December 31, 1997. In February 1998, Luria's
rejected each of its three leases with the Company.

Investment in Subsidiaries

In November 1995, the Company formed two wholly owned subsidiaries, Net
Lease Realty I, Inc. and Net Lease Realty II, Inc. and in June 1997, the Company
formed two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Net Lease Realty III, Inc. and Net Lease
Realty IV, Inc. Net Lease Realty I, Inc. and Net Lease Realty IV, Inc. were
formed to facilitate the acquisition of certain properties. Net Lease Realty II,
Inc. was utilized to facilitate the acquisition of CNL Realty Advisors, Inc.,
the Company's advisor, and Net Lease Realty III, Inc. is the general partner of
and holds a 20 percent interest in Net Lease Institutional Realty, L.P. Each of
the wholly-owned subsidiaries is a qualified real estate investment trust
subsidiary as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 856(i)(2).

Investment in Partnership

In September 1997, Net Lease Realty III, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a limited partnership arrangement, Net
Lease Institutional Realty L.P. (the "Partnership"), with the Northern Trust
Company, as Trustee of the Retirement Plan for the Chicago Transit Authority
Employees ("CTA") to acquire, own and manage nine properties. Net Lease Realty
III, Inc. is the sole general partner (the "General Partner") with a 20 percent
interest in the Partnership, and CTA is the sole limited partner (the "Limited
Partner") with an 80 percent interest in the Partnership. Pursuant to the
Partnership agreement, the General Partner is responsible for the management of
the Partnership's properties. Net income and losses of the Partnership are to be
allocated to the partners in accordance with their respective percentage
interest in the Partnership. The Partnership secured a $12 million non-recourse
mortgage on the Partnership's nine properties in September 1997 at 7.37%
interest rate.

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned nine properties (the
"Partnership Properties") leased to six major retail tenants. Generally, the
leases of the Partnership Properties provide for initial terms of 15 to 20 years
with annual base rent ranging from $182,600 to $730,400 and building sites
ranging from 11,000 to 54,300 square feet. All of the Partnership Properties are
leased under net leases pursuant to which the tenant typically will bear the
responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses related to on
going maintenance and operation, including utilities, property taxes and
insurance.

Advisory Services

From July 10, 1992 through December 31, 1997, the Company and CNL
Realty Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") were party to an advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement"), pursuant to which the Advisor provided certain
management, advisory and acquisition services. In accordance with the terms of
the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor received an annual fee, payable monthly,
equal to (i) seven percent of funds from operations, as defined below, 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. For the purposes of the Advisory Agreement, funds from
operations means net income of the Company before advisory fee excluding
depreciation and amortization expense, extraordinary gains and losses,
nonrecurring items of income and expense and non-cash lease accounting
adjustments. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally was 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 included 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 served
as the Company's consultant in connection with policy decisions to be made by
the Board of Directors, managed the Company's Properties and rendered other
services as the Board of Directors deemed appropriate.

Historically, the Company did not have a large enough asset base to
provide the economies of scale needed to efficiently support 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. In
1997, however, due to the Company's historical and anticipated growth,
management believed that the efficiencies derived from being externally advised
had diminished and that it would be more cost effective to become
self-administered. As a result, on May 15, 1997, the Board of Directors of the
Company unanimously approved an agreement and plan of merger with the Advisor,
which when approved

2





by the stockholders of the Company on December 18, 1997 at the 1997 annual
meeting of stockholders, resulted in the Company becoming a self-administered
and self-managed real estate investment trust (the "Advisor Transaction"). The
Advisor Transaction was completed on January 1, 1998. The Agreement and Plan of
Merger provided for the merger of the Advisor into a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company pursuant to which all of the outstanding common stock of the Advisor
was exchanged for 220,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the right,
based upon the Company's continued growth in assets for a period of up to five
years, to receive up to 1,980,000 additional shares of the Company's common
stock. In addition, upon the consummation of the Advisor Transaction, all
personnel employed by the Advisor became employees of the Company. Following
consummation of the Advisor Transaction, the Advisory Agreement (as defined
above) and the obligation of the Company to pay any fees thereunder was
terminated. For a complete description of the Advisor Transaction, see the
Company's Proxy Statement dated November 13, 1997 for the Company's 1997 annual
meeting of stockholders.

Competition

The Company generally competes with other REIT's, 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.


Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned 236 Properties located in 36
states that are leased to 48 major retail tenants. 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 commercial use which
have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume. Land costs range from
approximately $36,500 to $6,200,000.

Buildings. The buildings generally are rectangular, single-story
structures constructed from various combinations of stucco, steel, wood, brick
and tile. Building sizes range from approximately 1,000 to 82,000 square feet.
Building costs range from approximately $195,000 to $7,082,000 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, 1997,
the average remaining lease term was approximately 14 years. The Properties are
generally 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 $1,032,000. 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

3





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, 1997,
leases representing approximately 83 percent of annual base rent include
contractual increases, leases representing approximately 31 percent of annual
base rent include percentage rent provisions and leases representing
approximately 22 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.

During 1997, two of the Company's lessees, Eckerd Corporation
(drugstore) and Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc. (bookstore) each accounted for
more than ten percent of the Company's total rental income (including the
Company's share of rental income from the Partnership Properties. As of December
31, 1997, Eckerd Corporation and Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc. leased 43 and
13 Properties, respectively (including four properties and one property,
respectively, under leases with the Partnership).

As of December 31, 1997, two of the Company's lessees, Eckerd
Corporation and Barnes & Noble Superstores, Inc., leased Properties representing
11.6% and 10.6%, respectively, of total assets. For information regarding the
results of operations and financial condition of these two entities, refer to
their Annual Reports on Forms 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended February 1, 1997.

The Company generally competes with other REIT's, 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.

Investments in real property create a potential for environmental
liability on the part of the owner of such property from the presence or
discharge of hazardous substances on the property. It is the Company's policy,
as a part of its acquisition due diligence process, to obtain a Phase I
environmental site assessment for each property and where warranted, a Phase II
environmental site assessment. Phase I assessments involve site reconnaissance
and review of regulatory files identifying potential areas of concern, whereas
Phase II assessments involve some degree of soil and/or groundwater testing. The
Company may acquire a property whose environmental site assessment indicates
that a problem or potential problem exists, subject to a determination of the
level of risk and potential cost of remediation. In such cases, the Company
requires the seller and/or tenant to (i) remediate the problem prior to the
Company's acquiring the property, (ii) indemnify the Company for environmental
liabilities or (iii) agree to other arrangements deemed appropriate by the
Company to address environmental conditions at the property. The Company has 14
properties currently under some level of environmental remediation. The seller
or the tenant is generally contractually responsible for the cost of the
environmental remediation for each of these properties.

The Company's principal executive offices are located at 400 E. South
Street, Suite 500, Orlando, Florida 32801.


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.


4





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.
