Audit Committee

General.     The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, which is governed by a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website at http://www.nnnreit.com. Among the duties, powers and responsibilities of the Audit Committee as provided in its charter, the Audit Committee:

	•	has sole power and authority concerning the engagement and fees of independent public accountants;
	•	reviews with the independent accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement;
	•	pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent public accountants;
	•	reviews the independence of the independent public accountants;
	•	reviews the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting; and
	•	reviews accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters with our independent accountants and management.

Independence and Composition. The composition of the Audit Committee is subject to the independence and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, and the NYSE listing standards.

The Board of Directors, upon the unanimous recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee, has determined that all current members of the Audit Committee meet the audit committee composition requirements of the Exchange Act and the NYSE listing standards and that Mr. Lanier qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the Exchange Act.

Meetings.     The Audit Committee met four times in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. In fiscal year 2003, Messrs. Lanier, Hinkle and Martinez were, and currently are, the members of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Lanier serving as Chairman.

Code of Business Conduct

Our directors, as well as our officers and employees, are also governed by our code of business conduct. Our code of business conduct is available on our website at http://www.nnnreit.com. Amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of business conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers or employees will be posted to our website promptly following the date of the amendment or waiver.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

10

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms it has received, written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file Forms 5 for the last fiscal year and other information known to the Company, the Company believes that all its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions filed during fiscal year 2003, except for Dennis E. Tracy, who was late filing one Form 4 resulting in three transactions in which Mr. Tracy disposed of a total of 7,200 shares of common stock not being reported on a timely basis.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company incorporated it by specific reference.

The Board of Directors appointed a Compensation Committee comprised of the undersigned, Messrs. Jennings, Legler, and Martinez. Members of the Compensation Committee, all of whom must be independent directors of the Company, are selected each year by the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and administering executive compensation programs including administration of the 2000 Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. Performance Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”) and the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2003 Plan”), as well as approval of changes in directors’ compensation. The Compensation Committee currently operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors in November 2003, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.nnnreit.com.

The Compensation Committee believes the Company’s degree of success is largely attributable to the talent and dedication of its associates and to the management and leadership efforts of its executive officers. The goal of the Compensation Committee is to establish a compensation program that will attract and retain talented corporate officers, motivate them to perform to their fullest potential, as well as align their long-term interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

Historically, the key elements in the Company’s executive compensation program have consisted of salary, annual bonus (which may be paid in cash and/or restricted stock) and long-term incentive compensation (paid in restricted stock). In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee considers the compensation practices and financial performance of other REIT industry participants and from time to time receives assessments and advice regarding compensation practices from independent compensation consultants. In evaluating performance, the Compensation Committee considers quantitative and qualitative improvement in the Company’s Funds From Operations (“FFO”), capital structure, absolute and relative shareholder returns and individual performance and contribution to corporate goals and objectives. Additionally, the Compensation Committee makes a subjective assessment of the general performance of the Company, the officer’s contribution to the Company’s performance, the officer’s anticipated performance and contribution to the Company’s achievement of its long-term goals and the position, level, and scope of the officer’s responsibility.

In keeping with its belief that tying the financial interests of executive officers of the Company to those of the shareholders will result in enhanced alignment of interests and shareholder value, the Committee has evaluated the stock ownership levels of executive management and determined them to be adequate. The Committee also established stock ownership guidelines of $50,000 for directors.

For 2003, Mr. Seneff received total cash payments of $150,000 in salary. The Compensation Committee considered this level of payment appropriate in light of Mr. Seneff’s responsibilities and the Company’s performance. A bonus of $123,750 was paid to Mr. Seneff in 2004 based on FFO per share results, capital structure improvement, and total shareholder return for 2003. Additionally, 10,571 shares of restricted common stock were awarded as long-term incentive compensation as a result of the outperformance of total shareholder returns relative to REIT and general equity market indices for the past three, five and ten year periods. Salary increases in 2003 for Executive Officers were based on FFO per share targets, individual performance, position, tenure, experience, leadership and competitive data in compensation surveys of comparable companies.

In November 2003, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors unanimously approved, director compensation commencing in fiscal year 2004 as follows: (a) annual retainer of $20,000 per year for each director; (b) restricted stock grant of 1,500 shares of common stock per year for each director vesting over a two year period; (c) meeting fees of $1,000 per Board meeting or committee meeting attended; and $500 per telephonic Board meeting or committee meeting attended; (d) chairmanship fees of $12,000 per year for Chairman of the Board of Directors, $10,000 per year for Chairman of Audit Committee, and $6,000 per year for Chairman of the Compensation, Governance and Nominating, and other committees; and (e) new director initial restricted stock grant of 2,500 shares of common stock, vesting over a two year period.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

In May 2002, the Company purchased a combined 25% partnership interest for $750,000 in CNL Plaza, Ltd. and CNL Plaza Venture, Ltd. (collectively, “Plaza”). Affiliates of James M. Seneff, Jr., an officer and director of the Company, and Robert A. Bourne, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, own the remaining partnership interests. The Company has severally guaranteed 41.67% of a $15,500,000 unsecured promissory note on behalf of Plaza. The maximum obligation to the Company is $6,458,300 plus interest. Interest accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points per annum on the unpaid principal amount. This guarantee will continue through the loan maturity in November 2004. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company received $372,000 in distributions and recognized a loss of $224,000 from Plaza.

The Company leases its office space from Plaza, an affiliate of Messrs. Seneff and Bourne. The Company’s lease expires in October 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company and Services incurred rental expenses in connection with the lease of $1,083,000. The Company subleases a portion of its office space to CCF, CNL APF Partners, LP, CNL Restaurant Capital, LP, entities in which Mr. Seneff is a director, executive officer and minority shareholder. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company earned $338,000 in rental income and accrued rental income related to these subleases.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, CNL Shared Services, Inc. and CNL Financial Group, Inc., affiliates of Mr. Seneff, provided certain administrative, tax and technology services to the Company and Services. In connection therewith, the Company and Services paid $1,363,000 in fees relating to these services. Mr. Seneff is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, a director, and principal stockholder of CNL Financial Group, Inc., which wholly owns CNL Shared Services, Inc.

The Company’s existing Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Line of Credit and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Services was modified by the Company to decrease the borrowing capacity from $85,000,000 to $35,000,000. The credit facility is secured by a first mortgage on Services’ properties and bears interest at prime rate plus 0.25% per annum. The outstanding principal balance of the mortgage at December 31, 2003 was $12,588,000, and bore interest at a rate of 4.25% per annum. The largest amount of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the credit facility during 2003 was $23,500,000. Messrs. Seneff, Ralston and Habicht collectively own 100% of the voting common stock of Services, which represents a 1.3% equity interest. In January 2003, the Company terminated an $11,000,000 secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with RE-Stores, Inc.

18

The Company has three secured revolving lines of credit and security agreements with wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services (the “Subsidiary Agreements”). The Company has a line of credit and security agreement with CNLRS Exchange I, Inc. and CNLRS Funding, Inc. in the amount of $25,000,000 and $45,000,000, respectively. In May 2003, the Company modified an existing secured revolving line of credit and security agreement with CNLRS Equity Ventures, Inc., one of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Services, to increase the borrowing capacity from $15,000,000 to $45,000,000. The Subsidiary Agreements provide for an aggregate borrowing capacity of $115,000,000 and bear interest at prime rate plus 0.25% per annum. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Subsidiary Agreements at December 31, 2003 was $42,646,000, and bore interest at a rate of 4.25% per annum. The largest amount of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the Subsidiary Agreements during 2003 was $83,900,000. The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Agreements provide an aggregate borrowing capacity of $150,000,000 to Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and each agreement has an expiration date of May 9, 2006.

In connection with the mortgages and other receivables from Services and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company received $2,958,000 in interest and fees during the year ended December 31, 2003. In addition, Services paid the Company $1,583,000 for accounting, executive, technology and office space costs incurred on behalf of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2003.

In September 2000, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Services entered into a $6,000,000 promissory note with an affiliate in which James M. Seneff, Jr., Gary M. Ralston and Kevin B. Habicht, each of which are officers and directors of the Company, own a majority equity interest. The note was secured by the affiliate’s common stock in CNL Commercial Finance, Inc. (“CCF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the affiliate. In July 2003, the promissory note was paid in full. In addition, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Services has an option with the affiliate to purchase up to 80 percent of all the common shares of CCF equal to the purchase price paid by the affiliate for such common stock. The option expires on December 31, 2010.

In September 2000, CNLRS Funding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Services, entered into a $15,000,000 line of credit agreement with CCF. Interest, which is at a rate of 500 basis points above LIBOR, is payable monthly and the principal balance is due in full upon termination of the line of credit on March 31, 2004. In December 2003, the line of credit was amended to increase the borrowing capacity to $35,000,000. As of December 31, 2003, $16,600,000 was outstanding and $18,400,000 was available for future borrowings on the line of credit. The largest amount of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the line of credit during 2003 was $29,100,000. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of CCF.

In 2002, the Company extended the maturity dates to dates between June and December 2007 on four mortgages with an original aggregate principal balance totaling $8,514,000 that are held with Colonial Investors, Ltd., Hillcrest Plaza Investors, Ltd. and Indian Woods Associates, Ltd., entities in which James M. Seneff, Jr., an officer and director of the Company, and Robert A. Bourne, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, are the general partners and hold 2.5%, 9.0% and 0.5%, respectively, of the outstanding interests. The mortgages bear interest at a weighted average of 8.95%, with interest payable monthly or quarterly. As of December 31, 2003, the aggregate principal balance of the four mortgages was $2,935,000. The largest amount of aggregate indebtedness outstanding under the mortgages during 2003 was $3,358,000. In connection therewith, the Company recorded $281,000 as interest from unconsolidated affiliates and other mortgage receivables during the years ended December 31, 2003.

The Company has entered into five limited liability company (“LLC”) agreements with CCF: CNL Commercial Mortgage Holdings I, LLC (“CCMH I”) in June 2001; CNL Commercial Mortgage Holdings II, LLC (“CCMH II”) in December 2001; CNL Commercial Mortgage Holdings III, LLC (“CCMH III”) in June 2002; CNL Commercial Mortgage Holdings IV, LLC (“CCMH IV”) in December 2002; and CNL Commercial Mortgage Holdings V, LLC (“CCMH V”) in July 2003. Each of the LLCs holds an interest in mortgage loans and is 100 percent equity financed with no third party debt. The Company holds a non-voting and non-controlling interest in CCMH I, CCMH II, CCMH III, CCMH IV and CCMH V of 42.7, 44.0, 36.7, 38.3, and 38.4 percent, respectively, in these investments and accounts for its interests under the equity method of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company received $4,211,000 in distributions. In 2003, in connection with a loan to CCF from an affiliate of James M. Seneff, Jr., an officer and director of the Company, the Company pledged a portion of its interest in two of the LLCs as partial collateral for the loan.

The Company had guaranteed bank loans to James M. Seneff, Jr., Gary M. Ralston and Dennis Tracy, each of which are officers and directors of the Company or its affiliates, totaling $3,746,000. Each of the loans is full recourse to the respective officer and is collateralized by the common shares of the Company that were purchased with the proceeds from the loan. In July 2003, the Company was released as a guarantor on each of the bank loans.

Item 14.    Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Fiscal 2003 and 2002 Audit Firm Summary. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we retained KPMG LLP to provide services in the following categories and amounts:

	Fiscal Year
	2003			2002
Audit Fees (1)	$	151,800		$	132,200
Audit Related Fees (2)		26,000			0
Audit and Audit Related Fees		177,800			132,200
Tax Fees (3)		92,800			143,949
Total Fees	$	270,600		$	276,149

_________________

(1)	Audit fees include the audit fee and fees for comfort letters, attest services, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.
(2)	Audit related fees consist of fees incurred for consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards, performance of agreed-upon procedures, and other audit or attest services not required by statute or regulation.
(3)	Tax fees consist of fees for tax compliance services.

The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of audit related and tax services by KPMG LLP during 2003 is compatible with maintaining KPMG LLP’s independence.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor. Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit to the Audit Committee for approval an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the three categories of services listed in the table above.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the audit committee pre-approved 100% of services described above in the captions Audit Related Fees and Tax Fees. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, no hours expended on KPMG LLP’s engagement to audit our financial statements were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of KPMG LLP.

Pursuant to our Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the chairman of the Audit Committee, who shall promptly advise the remaining members of the Audit Committee of such approval at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
