NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: | |
Organization: Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), which has operated as a REIT since November 1997, acquires, develops and owns freestanding properties which are leased on a long-term triple-net basis to operators of national and regional chain restaurants and national retailers. Triple-net leases generally impose on the lessee responsibility for all operating costs and expense of the property, including the costs of repairs, maintenance, real property taxes, assessments, utilities and insurance. The Company’s leases typically provide for minimum rent plus specified fixed periodic rent increases. | ||
On July 2, 2001, the Company announced it had entered into a merger agreement with Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“CNL”). CNL will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for a combination of cash and stock. The merger is subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders and other conditions set forth in the merger agreement, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2001. | ||
Unaudited Interim Financial Information: The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001 and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected therein. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2001. | ||
Derivatives: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”). In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” (“FAS 138”) which amends FAS 133. The statement requires that all derivative instruments be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded each period in current earnings and/or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by FAS 133 is recognized immediately in current earnings. The Company adopted FAS 133, as amended, on January 1, 2001. | ||
2. | PROPERTIES SUBJECT TO OPERATING LEASES: | |
Properties subject to operating leases represent various properties leased to tenants under long-term net operating leases. The lease agreements generally provide for monthly rents based upon a percentage of the property’s cost. The initial term of the leases typically ranges from 15 to 20 years, although the Company in certain cases will enter into leases with terms that are shorter or longer. Most leases also provide for one or more five year renewal options. In addition, certain leases provide the tenant one or more options to purchase the properties at a predetermined price, generally only during stated periods during the fifth to seventh lease years. |

In accordance with the provisions of FAS 133, on January 1, 2001 the Company recorded a cumulative-effect-type transition adjustment of $206,399 in accumulated other comprehensive income to recognize at fair value two derivatives that were designated as cash-flow hedging instruments.

The cash flow hedges had no ineffectiveness for the period and accordingly, no amounts were recorded in the statement of operations.

This instrument has been entered into to meet the Company’s risk management objective, which is to manage the interest rate exposure associated with borrowings under its floating rate credit facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company, which operates as a REIT, acquires, develops and owns freestanding properties which are leased on a long-term triple-net basis to operators of national and regional chain restaurants and retailers. The Company’s triple-net leases generally impose on the lessee responsibility for all operating costs and expenses of the property, including the costs of repairs, maintenance, real property taxes, assessments, utilities and insurance. The Company’s leases typically provide for minimum rent plus specified fixed periodic rent. The Company’s long-term leases with creditworthy lessees mitigate short-term fluctuations in the general economy, thereby reducing the impact these fluctuations have on its operations. Other revenues are derived primarily from fee income earned from affiliates and interest income on loans to affiliates.
As of September 30, 2001, the Company owned 136 properties, located in 26 states, subject to long-term net leases with 54 different lessees under major restaurant and retail concepts including Bennigan’s, Applebee’s, Denny’s, Blockbuster Video, and Jared Jewelers.
On July 2, 2001, the Company announced it has entered into a merger agreement with Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“CNL”). CNL will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for a combination of cash and stock. The merger is subject to stockholder approval by the Company’s stockholders and other conditions set forth in the merger agreement. A Special Meeting of stockholders has been scheduled for November 19, 2001 to vote on the merger. Pending approval by the stockholders on November 19, 2001, the Company expects to close on the merger by November 30, 2001
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2001.During the three months ended September 30, 2001 total revenue decreased 8.6% to $6.3 million as compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Rental revenue from operating leases for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased 8.0% to $5.5 million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due to the reduction of the Company’s property portfolio as a result of property sales. Earned income from financing leases for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased 13.9% to approximately $174,000 as compared to approximately $152,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase is the result of the addition of two properties subject to financing leases in the first quarter of 2001. Other income decreased 26.7% to approximately $383,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $522,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease is due to reduced one-time acquisition related fees from affiliated ventures. The amount of fees earned for the acquisition, development and management of properties on behalf of affiliated ventures is subject to variations, principally by the amount of new properties identified and acquired by the affiliated ventures.
Total expenses increased 28.1% to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Interest expense decreased 4.0% to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was due to a 185 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate and a $5.3 million decrease in the average outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility used to fund the acquisition and development of properties, partially offset by an increase of approximately $400,000 in amortization of deferred financing costs. Management fees were approximately $117,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase is the result of reduced acquisition levels for the affiliated ventures, which provide for a reduction in the management fee paid by the Company to Captec Advisors, an affiliate. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, the acquisition levels for the affiliated ventures fully supported the management fee paid by the Company. The management fee paid and reductions received are subject to variations, principally changes in the Company’s property portfolio balance caused by property acquisitions and dispositions, and the amount of new properties identified and acquired by the affiliated ventures. General and administrative expenses increased 13.6%

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s principal use of funds is for property development and acquisition, payment of interest on its outstanding indebtedness, and payment of operating expenses and dividends. Historically, interest expense, operating expenses and dividends have been paid out of cash flows from operations. Property acquisition and development have been typically funded out of proceeds from borrowings. The Company expects to meet its liquidity requirements, which are principally property acquisition and development and scheduled debt maturities, through a variety of future sources of capital, including long-term collateralized and uncollateralized indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and “off-balance sheet” financing through the formation of joint ventures.
The Company’s leases generally provide for specified periodic rent increases. In addition, most of the Company’s leases require the lessee to pay all operating costs and expenses including repairs, maintenance, real property taxes, assessments, utilities and insurance, thereby substantially reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses. Based upon these factors, the Company does not anticipate significant capital demands related to the management of its properties.
At September 30, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company generated cash from operations of $10.5 million as compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Cash generated from operations provides funds for dividends. Any excess cash from operations may also be used for investment in properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company utilized $1.6 million in investing activities as compared to generating $16.1 million from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company used $5.8 million for financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to using $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
CREDIT FACILITY. In February 2001, the Company amended and extended the maturity of its credit facility with First Union National Bank. The effect of the amendment was to extend the maturity to August 31, 2001. The amendment also resulted in an increased interest rate spread over LIBOR to a range of 2.25% to 2.50%, dependent upon the ratio of debt to asset value, and reduced the facility borrowing capacity to $105.0 million. Prior to August 31, 2001, the Company extended the maturity of the credit facility an additional three months to November 30, 2001, pursuant to the agreement. The extension of the credit facility has been designed to be short-term in nature to enable the Company to continue to operate with a flexible capital structure. With the extension of the credit facility termination date, the borrowing spread over LIBOR increased to a range of 2.75% to 3.00%, dependent upon the ratio of debt to asset value. Upon expiration of the credit facility, the Company intends to refinance its indebtedness under the credit facility through a new facility or loan with an institutional lender and/or through the issuance of debt securities. The terms of the Company’s obligations with respect to any indebtedness incurred in refinancing the credit facility will be based on market conditions applicable to such form of indebtedness at the time, which may cause the terms of any such indebtedness to vary materially from the terms of the credit facility. No assurances can be made that the Company will be able to refinance such debt. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $101.6 million outstanding under the credit facility. Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to the merger agreement with CNL, the Company’s entire outstanding principal balance under the credit facility will be repaid by CNL upon completion of the merger which remains subject to stockholder approval and other conditions set forth in the merger agreement.
PROPERTY SALES. The Company periodically has explored the marketability of certain properties in its portfolio that would contribute to greater diversification levels in tenants, geography, property type and property size thereby

increasing the strength of its current portfolio. At September 30, 2001, no properties in the Company’s portfolio are being actively marketed.
DIVIDENDS. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company paid dividends of $10,839,243. In October 2001, the Company declared a third quarter dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.38 per share or $3,613,081. The dividend was payable to stockholders of record on October 11, 2001 and was paid on October 18, 2001. The Company expects to pay future dividends from cash available for distribution. The Company believes that cash from operations will be sufficient to allow the Company to make distributions necessary to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ( SFAS ) No. 141 - Business Combinations which addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations. This standard also addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination at acquisition. The provisions of this SFAS apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company s financial position or cash flows.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 — Goodwill and Other Intangibles which addresses financial accounting and reporting for intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) at acquisition. This standard also addresses financial accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The new standard becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company s financial position or cash flows.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121,Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). The provisions of this SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this standard generally are to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Company’s market risk arises from interest rate risk inherent in its financial instruments. The Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.
The Company monitors and manages interest rate exposure as an integral part of its overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect on its results. At September 30, 2001, approximately 98% of the Company’s debt bore interest at variable rates of LIBOR plus 2.75% to 3.00%.

A 1.0% increase in the variable interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 would have resulted in additional interest expense of approximately $506,000.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, market risk, as the instruments are subject to rate and price fluctuations, and elements of credit risk in the event the counterparty should default. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes. At September 30, 2001, the Company had an interest rate cap contract outstanding with a total notional amount of $68.3 million. The notional amount serves solely as a basis for the calculation of payments to be exchanged and are not a measure of the exposure of the Company through the use of derivatives. Under the interest rate cap agreement the counterparty agrees to make payments to the Company if LIBOR exceeds 5.0%.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
a. | Sagel v. Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc., C.A. 19030 NC (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County) |
On July 31, 2001 a complaint was filed by Audrey Sagel, a purported stockholder of the Company, individually and on behalf of an alleged class consisting of the public stockholders of the Company, other than the defendants and any person related to or affiliated with the defendants, against the Company and each of the Company’s directors individually in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (the “Delaware Chancery Court”). The allegations of the complaint arise from a July 1, 2001 Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company and Commercial Net Lease Realty, Inc. (“CNLR”), which provides for the merger of the Company with and into CNLR with CNLR as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Merger consideration afforded the Company’s stockholders is inadequate and that the defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiffs and the alleged class by entering into the Merger. The complaint alleges that as part of the Merger, Patrick L. Beach, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will enter into an asset purchase agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Beach will acquire certain non-real estate assets of the Company (the “Excluded Assets”) at substantially less than their actual value for the purpose of personal gain. The complaint also alleges that the purchase of the Excluded Assets by Mr. Beach (the “Asset Purchase”), will lower the overall value of the Company, thereby preventing the plaintiff and the alleged class from obtaining fair and full merger consideration for their shares of the Company’s common stock. The complaint also alleges that by agreeing to pay a breakup fee up to $5 million, minus $1 million in expenses to CNLR in the event that the Merger is terminated, the Company’s board of directors has precluded consideration of a potentially more favorable acquisition proposal from a third party. The complaint further alleges that the alleged class will be irreparably damaged if the Merger is consummated.
The complaint seeks a declaration that the suit is properly maintainable as a class action; a preliminary and permanent injunction against the Merger Agreement and the Asset Purchase and the consummation of the Merger; rescission of the Merger and/or the Asset Purchase if consummated; and compensatory damages in the amount determined at trial and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the alleged class; and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. The Company believes the claims made by Ms. Sagel are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against them.
b. | Larriva v. Beach, et al., C.A. 19026 NC (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County) |
On July 27, 2001 a complaint was filed by Alfonso Larriva, a stockholder of the Company, individually and on behalf of an alleged class consisting of the public stockholders of the Company, other than the defendants and any person related to or affiliated with the defendants, against the Company and each of the Company’s directors individually in the Delaware Chancery Court. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Merger is unfair to the Company’s stockholders and that the defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiffs and the alleged class by entering into the Merger. The complaint alleges that as part of the Merger, Mr. Beach will acquire the Excluded Assets at far less than their actual value due to alleged also alleges that the alleged class will be irreparably damaged if the Merger is consummated. The complaint further alleges that the merger consideration to be paid to the Company’s stockholders is unfair since it did not result from an appropriate consideration of the value of the Company.
The complaint seeks a declaration that the suit is properly maintainable as a class action, that the Merger Agreement was entered into in breach of fiduciary duties by the defendants and is unlawful and unenforceable; a preliminary and permanent injunction against the Merger Agreement and Asset Purchase and the consummation of the Merger, and compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the alleged class; and such other relief as the court deems just and proper.
On or about July 10, 2001, Mr. Larriva filed a class action complaint arising out of the Merger against the same defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. On or about August 3, 2001, Mr. Larriva voluntarily dismissed this action without prejudice. The Company believes the claims made by Mr. Larriva are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against them.
c. | Bailey, et al. v. Beach, et al., C.A. 19008 NC (Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County) |
A complaint was filed by John Bailey and William Steiner, both of whom are allegedly stockholders of the Company, individually and on behalf of an alleged class consisting of the Company’s public stockholders, other than the defendants and any person related to or affiliated with the defendants, against the Company and each of the Company’s directors individually in the Delaware Chancery Court. Neither the Company nor the individual defendants named in the complaint had been served with a summons for this action as of July 24, 2001. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Merger is unfair to the Company’s stockholders and that the defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to plaintiffs and the alleged class by entering into the Merger. The complaint alleges that as part of the Merger, Mr. Beach will purchase the Excluded Assets at far less than their actual value. The complaint also alleges that the merger consideration to be paid to the Company’s stockholders is unfair and inadequate because the exchange rate of the Company’s common stock shares for CNLR common and preferred stock shares places no limit on the movement of CNLR stock, thus subjecting the Company’s stockholders to potentially declining per share values. The complaint further alleges that the alleged class will be irreparably damaged if the Merger is consummated.
The complaint seeks a declaration that the suit is properly maintainable as a class action and that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plaintiffs and other members of the alleged class. The complaint further seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction against the defendants and their counsel, agents, employees and all persons acting under, in concert with, or for them, from proceeding with or implementing the Merger. In the event that the Merger is consummated, the complaint seeks an order rescinding the Merger or, alternatively, awarding rescissory damages. The complaint also seeks an accounting by the defendants to the alleged class for all the damages the plaintiffs and the alleged class have suffered as a result of defendants actions, with interest; awarding plaintiffs and the alleged class the costs and disbursements of the action as well as reasonable allowances for plaintiffs’ counsel and experts’ fees and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. The Company believes the request for class certification and the claims are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against the action.
d. | In re Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. Shareholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 19008-NC |
By order of the Delaware Chancery Court dated October 11, 2001, the three complaints described above were consolidated under the captionIn re Captec Net Lease Realty, Inc. Shareholders Litigation. On October 19, 2001, plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware litigation filed an Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint seeking injunctive relief, declaratory relief and damages. The Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to the termination fee provision contained in the merger agreement with CNLR, by agreeing to the purchase of the Excluded Assets by Mr. Beach from the Company, and by omitting allegedly material facts from the Company’s proxy statement for its special meeting of stockholders regarding the Merger and purchase of the Excluded Assets.
The defendants in the Delaware litigation deny any liability with respect to the claims alleged in the Amended Complaint and believe that those claims are without merit. However, to minimize the expense, inconvenience and distraction of litigation and to avoid the delays in judicial resolution of the Delaware litigation that could affect the Company’s ability to complete the proposed merger if stockholder approval and other closing conditions are satisfied, defendants authorized the execution of a memorandum of understanding with counsel for the plaintiffs on November 1, 2001. In the memorandum of understanding, and as the basis for settling the Delaware litigation, the Company and the other defendants agreed that the Company would mail to its stockholders certain supplemental disclosures regarding the purchase of the Excluded Assets.
The memorandum of understanding generally provides that the final settlement will include a dismissal of the Delaware litigation with prejudice. The final settlement also will include a release of the Company, the Company’s directors, CNLR and other persons from any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, damages, judgments and suits that have been or could have been asserted in the Delaware litigation, or in any court, tribunal or proceeding, by or on behalf of the plaintiff class (described below) or any of its members against any of the released persons, including any claims arising under federal or state law relating to breach of any duty, in connection with the Merger, the purchase of the Excluded Assets by Mr. Beach and related matters.
The final settlement of the Delaware litigation is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of a definitive settlement agreement containing the terms and conditions set forth in the memorandum of understanding, and approval of the settlement by the Delaware Chancery Court. The settlement agreement will provide for certification of a class of stockholder plaintiffs for settlement purposes, which will consist of all record and beneficial stockholders of the Company who held the Company’s common stock at any time during the period from July 2, 2001 to the date of the closing of the Merger, and their successors and assigns, other than the Company’s directors and their immediate families.
As part of the proposed settlement, the Company and the other defendants have agreed that they will not oppose an application to the Delaware Chancery Court by counsel to the plaintiffs in the Delaware litigation for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350,000, and that the Company will pay such amount within such limit as may be awarded by the Delaware Chancery Court.
