      FARMINGTON HILLS, MI (August 1, 2006) - Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE:
ADC) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. For the second
quarter, funds from operations were $4,953,000 compared with funds from
operations in the second quarter of 2005 of $5,015,000. Diluted funds from
operations per share were $0.59 per share compared with $0.60 per share for the
second quarter of 2005. Net income was $3,462,000, or $0.45 per share on a
diluted basis, compared with net income for the second quarter of 2005 of
$3,519,000, or $0.46 per share. Total revenues increased 5.6% to $8,167,000,
compared with total revenues of $7,737,000 in the second quarter of 2005. A
reconciliation of net income to funds from operations is included in the
financial table accompanying this press release.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2006, funds from operations were
$9,923,000 compared with funds from operations for the six months ended June 30,
2005 of $9,793,000. Diluted funds from operations per share were $1.18 per share
compared with $1.20 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net income
was $6,949,000, or $0.89 per share on a diluted basis, compared with net income
for the comparable period last year of $6,820,000, or $0.91 per share. Total
revenues increased 5.7% to $16,440,000, compared with total revenues of
$15,561,000 for the comparable period last year.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

      Management considers Funds from Operations (FFO) to be a useful
supplemental measure to evaluate operating performance. The Company considers
FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because,
by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO can
help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between
periods or as compared to different companies. FFO is defined by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to
net income as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance or as
an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, our method
of calculating FFO may not be comparable to the methods used by other REITs and,
accordingly may be different from similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

DIVIDEND

      We paid a cash dividend of $0.49 per share on July 13, 2006 to
shareholders of record on June 30, 2006. The dividend is equivalent to an
annualized dividend of $1.96 per share and represents a payout ratio of 83.1% of
funds from operations for the quarter.

PORTFOLIO RESULTS

      At June 30, 2006, Agree Realty Corporation's total assets were
$216,260,000 and our portfolio consisted of 59 properties totaling 3,362,971
million square feet located in 15 states. The portfolio was 98.3% leased at the
end of the quarter. For the six month and three month periods ended June 30,
2006 our fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 7,660,300 shares
and 7,661,478 shares, respectively.

      At June 30, 2006 our construction in progress balance totaled
approximately $2,735,000 and we capitalized $35,000 of construction period
interest during the second quarter 2006.
