                   REALTY INCOME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        -----------------------------------------------------------------
                                  June 30, 2002
                                   (Unaudited)

1.        MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

The  consolidated  financial  statements of Realty Income  Corporation  ("Realty
Income", the "Company",  "we" or "our") were prepared from our books and records
without audit and include all adjustments  (consisting of only normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  to present a fair  statement  of results  for the  interim
periods  presented.  Certain  of the 2001  balances  have been  reclassified  to
conform to the 2002 presentation.  Readers of this quarterly report should refer
to our audited financial  statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, which
are  included in our 2001  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.

2.        ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A. In June 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement  No. 142,  Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets.  Statement  No. 142
changed  the  accounting  for  goodwill  from  an  amortization   method  to  an
impairment-only  approach.  Under Statement No. 142, goodwill will be tested for
impairment  annually  and also  whenever  events  or  circumstances  occur  that
indicate that our goodwill might be impaired.

We adopted the  provisions  of  Statement  No. 142 on January 1, 2002 and ceased
amortizing our goodwill,  which totaled $17.2 million. During the second quarter
of 2002, we completed the  transitional  impairment  testing of our goodwill and
found that our goodwill was not impaired.  We also did not have any new goodwill
or take an impairment loss on our existing goodwill during 2002.

Amortization expense related to goodwill was $231,000 and $462,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.  We do not have any intangible
assets as contemplated under Statement No. 142 or unamortized negative goodwill.

The  following  table  reconciles   reported  net  income  available  to  common
stockholders  to  adjusted  net  income  available  to common  stockholders.  It
excludes the effect of goodwill amortization expense that is no longer amortized
under Statement No. 142 (in thousands, except per share data):

B. In August  2001,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  144,  Accounting  for the
Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets.  Effective  January  1,  2002,
Statement No. 144 superseded Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. Statement No. 144

                                       6


requires  long-lived  assets to be  disposed  of to be  measured at the lower of
carrying  amount or fair value less costs to sell on our balance sheet.  It also
broadened the reporting  requirements  of  discontinued  operations to include a
component of an entity  rather than a segment of a business.  Statement  No. 144
states that a component of an entity  comprises  operations  and cash flows that
can  be  clearly  distinguished,   operationally  and  for  financial  reporting
purposes,  from the rest of the entity. In accordance with Statement No. 144, we
report  each  individual  property  as a  reporting  component  for  determining
discontinued operations. The operations of 34 properties listed as held for sale
at June 30, 2002,  plus three  properties  sold during the first quarter of 2002
and 10 properties sold during the second quarter of 2002 were reported as income
from  discontinued  operations  in 2002,  and their  respective  2001 results of
operations were reclassified to income from discontinued operations. As required
by  Statement  No.  144,  three  other  properties  reported as held for sale at
December 31, 2001 that were sold during 2002 were not  reported as  discontinued
operations.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  our  income  from  discontinued
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in
thousands):


                                                                    THREE         THREE          SIX           SIX

C.  In  July  2002,  we  changed  our  method  of  accounting  for   stock-based
compensation  to the fair value based  method which is the  preferred  method of
accounting  as  provided  for under  FASB  Statement  No.  123,  Accounting  for
Stock-Based Compensation. The effect of the change in accounting for stock-based
compensation  will be to recognize stock  compensation  expense over the vesting
period for those stock options  granted on or after  January 1, 2002.  For stock
options  granted  prior to  January  1,  2002,  we will  continue  to apply  the
provisions  under  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25 unless the stock
options are modified or settled for cash.  The impact of adopting  Statement No.
123 is not  expected  to have a material  effect on our  financial  position  or
results of operations.  We anticipate that during 2002, our stock option expense
will be approximately $12,000.

3.        RETAIL PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY REALTY INCOME

During the first six months of 2002, we invested  $86.8 million in 91 new retail
properties and properties  under  development  with an initial  weighted average
contractual  lease rate of 10.4%.  These 91 properties are located in 24 states,
will contain  approximately  430,700  leasable  square feet and are 100% leased,
with an average initial lease term of 19.9 years.

During  the first six months of 2001,  we  invested  $15.3  million in seven new
retail  properties and properties  under  development  with an initial  weighted
average  contractual lease rate of 11.6%.  These seven properties are located in
five states,  contain  approximately  115,300  leasable square feet and are 100%
leased, with an average initial lease term of 21.7 years.

                                       7

4.        GAIN ON SALES OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

During the second  quarter of 2002,  we sold 10 investment  properties  for $3.8
million and  recognized a gain of $1.3 million.  This gain is included in income
from discontinued  operations.  During the second quarter of 2001, we sold three
investment properties for $2.6 million and recognized a gain of $164,000.

During the first six months of 2002, we sold 16 investment  properties  for $7.2
million and  recognized a gain of $2.4  million.  Of this gain,  $2.1 million is
included in income from discontinued operations.  During the first six months of
2001, we sold 13 investment  properties  for $19.7 million and recognized a gain
of $6.1 million.

5.        RETAIL PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY CREST NET LEASE, INC. ("CREST NET")

A. During the first six months of 2002,  Crest Net invested  $3.8 million in two
new retail properties and properties under development. These two properties are
located in two states, will contain approximately 6,400 leasable square feet and
are 100% leased, with an average initial lease term of 17.6 years.

During the first six months of 2001, Crest Net invested $4.5 million in four new
retail  properties and properties under  development.  These four properties are
located in three states, will contain  approximately 15,300 leasable square feet
and are 100% leased, with an average initial lease term of 19.3 years.

B. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,  investments  in properties  owned by
Crest Net  totaled  $15.9  million  and  $22.3  million,  respectively,  and are
included in real estate held for sale, net on our consolidated balance sheets.

6.        GAIN ON SALES OF REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED FOR RESALE

During the  second  quarter of 2002,  Crest Net sold eight  properties  for $9.0
million and we recognized a gain of $1.1 million on the sales. During the second

a gain of $161,000 on the sale.

8.        NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing  net income  available
to  common  stockholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding during each period.  Diluted net income per common share is computed
by dividing the amount of net income  available to common  stockholders  for the
period by the number of common shares that would have been outstanding  assuming
the  issuance  of common  shares  for all  potentially  dilutive  common  shares
outstanding during the reporting period.

The following is a reconciliation of the denominator of the basic net income per
common share computation to the denominator of the diluted net income per common
share computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

11.       SEGMENT INFORMATION

We evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions on an industry by
industry basis. For financial  reporting  purposes,  we have grouped our tenants
into 11 reportable  industry  segments  based upon the 24 retail  industries the
tenants  are in,  except  for  properties  owned by Crest  Net that are  grouped
together and included in "other non-reportable  segments." All of the properties
are incorporated into one of the applicable segments.  Because almost all of our
leases  require  the  tenant  to pay  operating  expenses,  revenue  is the only
component of segment profit and loss we measure.

The following  tables set forth  certain  information  regarding the  properties
owned by us, classified  according to the business of the respective  tenants as
of June 30, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

                                   THE COMPANY

Realty  Income  Corporation,  the  Monthly  Dividend  Company  (TM),  a Maryland
corporation  ("Realty  Income," the  "Company,"  "our" or "we") was organized to
operate as an equity  real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT").  We are a fully
integrated,  self-administered  real estate  company with in-house  acquisition,
leasing,  legal,  retail and real  estate  research,  portfolio  management  and
capital markets expertise.

Our primary business objective is to generate  dependable monthly  distributions
from a consistent and  predictable  level of funds from  operations  ("FFO") per
share.  Additionally,  we seek to increase distributions to stockholders and FFO
per share  through  both active  portfolio  management  and the  acquisition  of
additional properties.

Our portfolio management focus includes:

o    Contractual rent increases on existing leases;
o    Rental  increases  at  the  termination  of  existing  leases  when  market
     conditions permit; and
o    The active management of our property  portfolio,  including  re-leasing of
     vacant properties and selective sales of properties.

Our acquisition of additional properties adheres to a focused strategy of
primarily acquiring properties that are:

o    Freestanding, single-tenant, retail locations;
o    Leased to regional and national retail chains; and
o    Under long-term, net-lease agreements.

As of June 30, 2002, we owned a diversified portfolio:

o    Of 1,199 retail properties;
o    With an occupancy rate of 98.4%, or 1,180, of the 1,199 properties;
o    Leased to 81 different retail chains;
o    Doing business in 24 separate retail industries;
o    Located in 48 states;
o    With over 9.8 million square feet of leasable space; and
o    With an average leasable retail space of 8,200 square feet on approximately
     62,000 square feet of land.

Of the 1,199 properties in the portfolio, 1,194, or 99.6%, are single-tenant
retail properties with the remaining five being multi-tenant properties. As of
June 30, 2002, 1,175, or 98.4%, of the 1,194 single-tenant properties were
leased with a weighted average remaining lease term (excluding extension
options) of approximately 10.7 years.

In addition to our real estate portfolio, at June 30, 2002 our subsidiary, Crest
Net Lease,  Inc.  ("Crest Net") had invested  $15.9 million in a portfolio of 15
retail properties located in nine states. These properties are held for sale.

We typically  acquire,  and then lease back,  retail store  locations from chain
store operators,  providing capital to the operators for continued expansion and
other  corporate  purposes.   Our  acquisition  and  investment  activities  are
concentrated in well-defined target markets and generally focus on middle-market
retailers providing goods and services that satisfy basic consumer needs.


                                       13


Our net-lease agreements generally:

o    Are for initial terms of 15 to 20 years;
o    Require  the tenant to pay minimum  monthly  rents and  property  operating
     expenses (taxes, insurance and maintenance); and
o    Provide for future rent increases  (typically subject to ceilings) based on
     increases in the consumer price index, fixed increases,  or additional rent
     calculated  as a percentage  of the tenants'  gross sales above a specified
     level.

We believe  that the  long-term  ownership of an actively  managed,  diversified
portfolio of retail properties under long-term,  net-lease  agreements  produces
consistent,  predictable  income.  We also believe that a portfolio of long-term
leases that require  tenants to be responsible for property  expenses  generally
produces a more  predictable  income stream than many other types of real estate
portfolios, while continuing to offer the potential for growth in rental income.

Our net-leased  retail  properties are primarily leased to regional and national
retail chain store operators.  Generally,  our properties  contain  single-story
buildings  and  adequate  parking on site to  accommodate  peak  retail  traffic
periods.  The properties tend to be on major  thoroughfares with relatively high
traffic  counts and  adequate  access,  egress  and  proximity  to a  sufficient
population base to constitute a suitable market or trade area for the retailer's
business.

We provide  sale-leaseback  financing  primarily to less than  investment  grade
retail chains.  From 1970 through December 31, 2001, we acquired and leased back
to regional and national retail chains 1,158 properties (including 83 properties
that have been sold) and collected approximately 98% of the original contractual
rent  obligations on those properties  (this  information  annually.) We believe
that within this market we can achieve an attractive risk-adjusted return on the
financing we provide to retailers.

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK.  In February  2002, we issued 273,150 shares of common
stock to a unit investment trust at a net price to us of $30.26 per share, based
on a 5%  discount  to the  market  price at the time of  issuance  of $31.85 per
share. The net proceeds of $8.2 million were used to repay a portion of our $200
million credit facility.

In July 2002,  we issued  1,550,000  shares of common stock at a price of $33.40
per share. The net proceeds of $48.8 million were used to repay a portion of our
$200 million acquisition credit facility.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS  (FFO).  For the second quarter of 2002, our FFO increased
by $4.8 million,  or 26.4%,  to $23.0 million  compared to $18.2 million for the
same quarter in 2001. In the first six months of 2002, our FFO increased by $9.6
million,  or 26.8%, to $45.4 million compared to $35.8 million for the first six
months of 2001. See our discussion of FFO in this  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

In the second  quarter of 2002,  Crest Net generated  $901,000 in FFO for Realty
Income compared to $141,000 in the same quarter of 2001. In the first six months
of 2002 and 2001, Crest Net generated $1.3 million in FFO for Realty Income. The
future  contribution,  if any, to our FFO by Crest Net will depend on the timing
and the number of property sales it achieves, if any, in a given period.

NET INCOME  AVAILABLE  TO COMMON  STOCKHOLDERS  was $16.0  million in the second
quarter of 2002 and $11.0 million in the second  quarter of 2001, an increase of
$5.0 million.  Net income available to common  stockholders was $31.9 million in
the first six months of 2002 and $27.1  million in the first six months of 2001,
an increase of $4.8 million.


                                       14

ACQUISITION  OF PROPERTIES  DURING 2002.  During the second  quarter of 2002, we
invested  $79.0  million  in 88  new  retail  properties  and  properties  under
development with an initial weighted average contractual  capitalization rate of
10.4%.  During the first six months of 2002, we invested $86.8 million in 91 new
retail  properties and properties  under  development  with an initial  weighted
average contractual capitalization rate of 10.4%. The 91 new properties are 100%
leased  with an initial  average  lease  length of 19.9  years and will  contain
approximately 430,700 leasable square feet.

SALES OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES.  During the first six months of 2002, we sold 16
properties for $7.2 million and recognized a gain of $2.4 million. Of this gain,
$2.1  million  is  included  in  income  from  discontinued  operations.  The 16
properties  consisted of seven child care facilities,  eight restaurants and one
racquetball  facility.  The proceeds from the sale of these properties were used
to repay  outstanding  indebtedness  on our $200 million credit  facility and to
invest in new properties.

CREST NET.  During the second quarter of 2002,  Crest Net sold eight  properties
from its  inventory for $9.0 million and we recorded a gain on the sales of $1.1
million.  During the first six months of 2002, Crest Net sold 11 properties from
its  inventory  for $11.7  million  and we  recorded a gain on the sales of $1.5
million. During the first six months of 2002, Crest Net invested $3.8 million in
two new retail  properties and properties under  development.  At the end of the
second  quarter,  Crest Net  carried an  inventory  of $15.9  million,  which is
included on our balance sheet in real estate held for sale, net.

The financial  statements  of Crest Net are  consolidated  into Realty  Income's
financial  statements.   All  material   intercompany   transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

INCREASE  IN MONTHLY  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO COMMON  STOCKHOLDERS.  We  continue  our
33-year policy of paying distributions monthly.  Monthly distributions per share
were increased  $0.00125 in January 2002 to $0.19, in April 2002 to $0.19125 and
in July 2002 to $0.1925. The increase in July was our 19th consecutive quarterly
increase and 21st increase  since 1995.  During the first six months of 2002, we
paid three  distributions of $0.19 per share and three distributions of $0.19125
per share,  totaling  $1.14375  per share.  In June and July 2002,  we  declared
distributions of $0.1925 per share, which were paid on July 15, 2002 and payable
on August 15, 2002, respectively.

The monthly  distribution of $0.1925 per share  represents a current  annualized
distribution  of  $2.31  per  share,  and an  annualized  distribution  yield of
approximately 6.9% based on the last reported sale price of the Company's Common
Stock on the NYSE of $33.30 on August 8, 2002.  Although  we expect to  continue
our policy of paying  monthly  distributions,  we cannot  guarantee that we will
maintain the current level of  distributions,  that we will continue our pattern
of increasing  distributions  per share, or what the actual  distribution  yield
will be for any future period.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

CASH  RESERVES.  Realty  Income is organized  for the purpose of operating as an
equity REIT that acquires and leases properties and distributes to stockholders,
in the form of monthly cash distributions, a substantial portion of its net cash
flow  generated  from  leases on its retail  properties.  We intend to retain an
appropriate amount of cash as working capital. At June 30, 2002, we had cash and
cash equivalents totaling $21.2 million.

We  believe  that our cash and cash  equivalents  on hand,  cash  provided  from
operating  activities and borrowing capacity is sufficient to meet our liquidity
needs for the foreseeable future. We intend,  however, to use additional sources
of capital to fund property acquisitions and to repay our credit facilities.

CAPITAL FUNDING. We have a $200 million revolving,  unsecured acquisition credit
facility that expires in December  2003.  We also have a $25 million  revolving,
unsecured  credit facility that expires in February 2003. The credit  facilities
currently  bear  interest at 1.225% over the London  Interbank  Offered Rate, or
LIBOR,  and offer us other  interest  rate  options.  At August 8, 2002,  we had
borrowing  capacity of $132.0 million  available on our credit facilities and an
outstanding balance of $92.3 million with an effective interest rate of 3.0%.

These  credit  facilities  have  been  and are  expected  to be used to  acquire
additional retail properties leased to national and regional retail chains under
long-term lease agreements. Any additional borrowings will increase our exposure
to interest rate risk. We have no mortgage debt on any of our properties.

In May 1997,  we issued $110 million of 7.75% senior notes due 2007.  In October
1998, we issued $100 million of 8.25%  Monthly  Income Senior Notes due 2008. In
January 1999, we issued $20 million of 8.0% senior notes due 2009.

In June  1999,  we  filed a  universal  shelf  registration  statement  with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  covering up to $409.2  million in value of
common stock,  preferred stock and debt  securities.  Through August 8, 2002, we
issued $261.0 million of common stock, preferred stock and debt securities under
the  universal  shelf  registration  statement.  At August 8, 2002, a balance of
$148.2 million was available under our universal shelf registration statement.

In February 2002, we issued 273,150 shares of common stock to a unit  investment
trust at a net price to us of $30.26 per share,  based on a 5%  discount  to the
market  price at the time of issuance of $31.85 per share.  The net  proceeds of
$8.2  million  were  used to  repay  bank  borrowings  under  our  $200  million
acquisition credit facility.

In July 2002,  we issued  1,550,000  shares of common stock at a price of $33.40
per share. The net proceeds of $48.8 million were used to repay borrowings under
our $200 million acquisition credit facility.

We believe that our stockholders are best served by a conservative capital
structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our
balance sheet and solid interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. At August 8,
2002, our total outstanding credit facility borrowings and outstanding notes
were $323.0 million or approximately 20.3% of our total market capitalization of
$1.59 billion. We define our total market capitalization as the sum of the:

o    Shares of our common  stock  outstanding  multiplied  by the last  reported
     sales price of the common stock on the NYSE on August 8, 2002 of $33.30 per
     share;
o    Liquidation value of the Class B Preferred Stock of $68.6 million;
o    Liquidation value of the Class C Preferred Stock of $34.5 million; and

                                       16


o    Outstanding  borrowings on the credit  facilities and outstanding  notes at
     August 8, 2002.

Historically,  we have met our  long-term  capital needs through the issuance of
common stock, preferred stock and long-term unsecured notes. Over the long term,
we believe that the majority of our future issuances of securities  should be in
the form of common stock.  However,  we may issue additional  preferred stock or
debt  securities  from time to time.  We may issue  common stock when we believe
that our share price is at a level that allows for the  proceeds of any offering
to be invested on an accretive basis into additional properties. In addition, we
may issue common stock to permanently  finance  properties that were financed by
our credit facilities or debt securities.  However, we cannot assure you that we
will have access to the capital markets at terms that are acceptable to us.

We currently  are assigned  investment  grade  corporate  credit  ratings on our
senior  unsecured  notes from  Fitch  Ratings,  Moody's  Investors  Service  and
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group. Currently,  Fitch has assigned a rating of BBB,
Moody's  has  assigned a rating of Baa3 and  Standard  & Poor's  has  assigned a
rating of BBB- to our senior notes. These ratings could change based upon, among
other things, our results of operations and financial condition.

We also have  received  credit  ratings  from the same  rating  agencies  on our
preferred stock.  Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of BBB-, Moody's Investors
Service has  assigned a rating of Ba1 and  Standard & Poor's  Ratings  Group has
assigned a rating of BB+.  These  ratings  could change based upon,  among other
things, our results of operations and financial condition.

Realty  Income  and its  subsidiaries  have  no  unconsolidated  investments  in
"special purpose  entities" or off balance sheet financing,  nor do we engage in
trading activities  involving energy or commodity  contracts or other derivative
instruments.

PROPERTY  ACQUISITIONS.  In the second  quarter  2002, we acquired 88 properties
located  in 23 states and  invested  $79.0  million.  In the first six months of
2002, we acquired 91 properties (the "New Properties")  located in 24 states and
invested $86.8 million in the New Properties and properties  under  development,
which includes  investments of $3.0 million for properties  acquired before 2002
that  were  under  development.  We have  committed  to pay  estimated  unfunded
development  costs of $1.3 million on properties under  construction at June 30,
2002. In the first six months of 2002, we  capitalized  $230,000 for  re-leasing
costs and $427,000  for  building  improvements  on existing  properties  in our
portfolio.

The initial  weighted  average  annual  unleveraged  return on the $86.8 million
invested in 2002 is estimated to be 10.4%, computed as estimated contractual net
operating  income  (which in the case of a  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 of each lease, divided by the estimated
total costs.  Since it is possible that a tenant could default on the payment of
contractual  rent,  we cannot  assure  you that the  actual  return on the funds
invested will remain at the percentage listed above.

The New Properties will contain  approximately  430,700 leasable square feet and
are 100% leased  under net leases,  with an average  initial  lease term of 19.9
years.  At June 30,  2002,  two of the New  Properties  were  leased  and  under
construction,  pursuant to contracts  under which the tenants  agreed to develop
the  properties  (with  development  costs  funded by Realty  Income)  with rent
scheduled to begin in the second half of 2002.

DISTRIBUTIONS. We pay monthly distributions to our common stockholders and Class
C preferred  stockholders  and quarterly  distributions to our Class B preferred
stockholders  if, as and when  declared by our Board of  Directors.  The Class B
Preferred stockholders receive cumulative  distributions at a rate of 9.375% per
annum on the $25 per share  liquidation  preference  (equivalent to $2.34375 per
annum  per  share).  The  Class  C  Preferred  stockholders  receive  cumulative
distributions  at a rate of 9.5%  per  annum  on the $25 per  share  liquidation
preference (equivalent to $2.375 per annum per share).

The August 2002  distribution  of $0.1925 per common share  represents a current
annualized distribution of $2.31 per share, and an annualized distribution yield

                                       17


of  approximately  6.9% based on the last  reported  sale price of $33.30 of our
common stock, on the NYSE on August 8, 2002.

In order to maintain our tax status as a REIT for federal  income tax  purposes,
we  generally  are  required  to  distribute   dividends  to  our   stockholders
aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without
regard to the dividends  paid  deduction and by excluding net capital gains) and
we are subject to income tax to the extent we  distribute  less than 100% of our
REIT taxable income  (including net capital gains).  In 2001, our  distributions
totaled approximately 114.5% of our estimated REIT taxable income. Our estimated
REIT  taxable  income  reflects   non-cash   deductions  for   depreciation  and
amortization.  We intend to continue to make  distributions  to our stockholders
that are sufficient to meet this  distribution  requirement and that will reduce
our exposure to income taxes. Our 2001 distributions to common stockholders were
83.4% of our 2001 funds from operations.

Our future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and
will depend on, among other things,  our results of  operations,  our funds from
operations,   cash  flow  from  operations,   financial  condition  and  capital
requirements,  the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, our debt service requirements and
any other factors the Board of Directors  may deem  relevant.  In addition,  our
credit facilities  contain  financial  covenants which could limit the amount of
distributions  payable by us in the event of a  deterioration  in our results of
operations  or  financial   condition,   and  which   prohibit  the  payment  of
distributions  on the common or preferred stock in the event that we fail to pay
when due (subject to any  applicable  grace period) any principal or interest on
borrowings under our credit facilities.

We consider FFO and adjusted FFO to be appropriate  measures of the  performance
of equity  REITs.  Financial  analysts use FFO and  adjusted  FFO in  evaluating
REITs.  FFO and  adjusted  FFO can be a way to measure a REIT's  ability to make
cash  distribution  payments.  Presentation  of this  information is intended to
assist the reader in comparing the performance of different  REITs,  although it
should be noted that not all REITs  calculate FFO and adjusted FFO the same way;
therefore, comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

FFO and adjusted FFO are 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 Realty Income's performance.  In addition, FFO and adjusted FFO
should not be  considered  as an  alternative  to reviewing  our cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity, our
ability to make cash distributions or our ability to pay interest payments.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING IS A COMPARISON OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001.

RENTAL  REVENUE was $32.7  million for the second  quarter of 2002 versus  $28.6
million for the second  quarter of 2001, an increase of $4.1 million,  or 14.3%.
The increase in rental revenue is attributable to:

o    The properties  acquired in the first six months of 2002,  which  generated
     revenue of $707,000 in the second quarter of 2002;
o    The properties acquired in 2001, which generated revenue of $3.5 million in
     the second  quarter of 2002  compared  to $99,000 in the second  quarter of
     2001, an increase of $3.4 million;
o    Same store rents  generated on 951 leased  properties  owned in all of both
     the second  quarters of 2002 and 2001  increased by $416,000,  or 1.5%,  to
     $27.32 million from $26.91 million;
o    Properties  owned by Crest Net, which generated  revenue of $481,000 in the
     second  quarter of 2002 compared to $354,000 in the second quarter of 2001,
     an increase of $127,000;
o    Properties sold during 2001 and 2002, which generated  revenue of $7,000 in
     the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $472,000 in the second quarter of
     2001, a decrease of $465,000;
o    Development  properties  acquired  before 2001 that started  paying rent in
     2001,  properties  that were  vacant  during part of 2001 or 2002 and lease
     termination settlements,  which generated revenue of $687,000 in the second
     quarter of 2002  compared  to  $622,000  in the same  quarter  of 2001,  an
     increase of $65,000; and
o    Straight-line  rent of $21,000 in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to
     $97,000 in the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of $76,000.


                                       21

RENTAL  REVENUE was $65.2  million for the first six months of 2002 versus $57.0
million for the first six months of 2001, an increase of $8.2 million, or 14.4%.
The increase in rental revenue is attributable to:

o    The properties  acquired in the first six months of 2002,  which  generated
     revenue of $765,000 in the first six months of 2002;
o    The properties acquired in 2001, which generated revenue of $6.9 million in
     the first six months of 2002  compared  to $140,000 in the first six months
     of 2001, an increase of $6.8 million;
o    Same store rents  generated on 951 leased  properties  owned in all of both
     2002 and 2001 increased by $990,000, or 1.8%, to $54.75 million from $53.76
     million;
o    Properties  owned by Crest Net, which generated  revenue of $956,000 in the
     first six months of 2002  compared  to  $786,000 in the first six months of
     2001, an increase of $170,000;
o    Properties sold during 2001 and 2002, which generated revenue of $40,000 in
     the first six months of 2002 as compared  to $1.3  million in the first six
     months of 2001, a decrease of $1.2 million;
o    Development  properties  acquired  before 2001 that started  paying rent in
     2001,  properties  that were  vacant  during part of 2001 or 2002 and lease
     termination  settlements,  which  generated  revenue of $1.3 million in the
     first six months of 2002  compared  to $937,000 in the same period of 2001,
     an increase of $358,000; and
o    Straight-line  rent of $418,000 in the first six months of 2002 as compared
     to $123,000 in the first six months of 2001, an increase of $295,000.

Of the  1,199  properties  in the  portfolio  as of June  30,  2002,  1,194  are
single-tenant  properties  with  the  remaining  properties  being  multi-tenant
properties.  Of the 1,194  single-tenant  properties,  1,175, or 98.4%, were net
leased  with a  weighted  average  remaining  lease  term  (excluding  extension
options)  of  approximately  10.7 years at June 30,  2002.  Of our 1,194  leased
single-tenant  properties,  1,179 or 98.7% were under  leases  that  provide for
increases in rents through:

o    Base  rent  increases  tied  to a  consumer  price  index  with  adjustment
     ceilings;
o    Overage rent based on a percentage of the tenants' gross sales;
o    Fixed increases; or
o    A combination of two or more of the above rent provisions.

Percentage  rent,  which is included in rental revenue during the second quarter
of 2002 and 2001, was $66,000 and $87,000, respectively.  Percentage rent, which
is included in rental  revenue during the first six months of 2002 and 2001, was
$209,000 and $206,000, respectively.

Our portfolio of retail real estate owned under net leases  continues to perform
well and provides dependable lease revenue supporting the payment of our monthly
dividends.  As of June 30, 2002,  our portfolio of 1,199 retail  properties  was
98.4% leased with 19 properties available for lease.

Transactions  to lease or sell eight of the 19 properties not leased at June 30,
2002 were  underway  or  completed  as of August 2, 2002.  We  anticipate  these
transactions  to be  completed  during the next six  months;  although we cannot
guarantee that all of these properties can be sold or leased within this period.

GAIN ON SALES OF REAL ESTATE  ACQUIRED FOR RESALE.  During the second quarter of
2002,  Crest Net sold eight properties for $9.0 million and we recognized a gain
on the sales of $1.1 million,  before income taxes. During the second quarter of
2001,  Crest Net sold one property for $1.5 million and we  recognized a gain on
the sale of $161,000, before income taxes.

During  the first six  months of 2002,  Crest Net sold 11  properties  for $11.7
million and we  recognized a gain on the sales of $1.5  million,  before  income
taxes.  During the first six months of 2001,  Crest Net sold five properties for
$15.5  million and we  recognized  a gain on the sales of $2.1  million,  before
income taxes.

At June 30, 2002, Crest Net had $15.9 million  invested in 15 properties,  which
are held for  sale.  It is  anticipated  that  Crest Net will  carry an  average

                                       22


inventory of $20 to $25 million in real estate.  Crest Net generates an earnings
spread on the  differential  between the lease payments it receives and the cost
of capital used to acquire the properties. It is our belief, and it has been our
experience to date,  that at this level of inventory,  these  earnings will more
than cover the ongoing operating expenses of Crest Net.

Interest  on  outstanding  loans and notes  decreased  by $822,000 in the second
quarter of 2002 as compared  to the second  quarter of 2001  primarily  due to a
decrease of 89 basis points in our average  interest rates. In 2001, the Federal
Reserve  decreased the federal funds rate 11 times by an aggregate  total of 475
basis  points.  Correspondingly,  the  average  borrowing  rate  on  our  credit
facilities has declined during the same period. The average interest rate on our
credit facilities decreased to 3.07% in the second quarter of 2002 from 6.31% in
the second quarter of 2001. The majority of the interest rate  reductions on our
credit facilities in 2001 occurred during the second half of 2001.

six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands):

Interest on outstanding  loans and notes  decreased by $3.2 million in the first
six months of 2002 as compared to the first six months of 2001 due to a decrease

                                       23


of $42.2 million in the average outstanding balances and a decrease of 100 basis
points in our average  interest rates.  The average  interest rate on our credit
facilities  decreased to 3.06% in the first six months of 2002 from 7.07% in the
first six months of 2001.

At August 8, 2002, the weighted average interest rate on our:
o    Credit facility borrowings of $93.0 million was 2.98%;
o    Notes payable of $230 million was 7.99%; and
o    Combined  outstanding  credit  facilities  and notes of $323.0  million was
     6.55%.

Our interest  coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was
5.5 times and 3.9 times, respectively.  Interest coverage ratio is calculated as
follows:  EBITDA divided by interest  expense.  EBITDA is calculated as follows:
net income plus interest expense, income taxes,  depreciation,  amortization and
impairment  losses less gain on sales of investment  properties.  Our EBITDA for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $62.6 million and $56.4 million,
respectively. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any
measure of performance as promulgated  under GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA may
be  different  from the  calculation  used by other  companies  and,  therefore,
comparability may be limited.

Our fixed coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was 3.8
times  and 2.9  times,  respectively.  Fixed  coverage  ratio is  calculated  as
follows:  EBITDA  divided by the sum of  interest  expense and  preferred  stock
dividends.  This  information  should not be considered as an alternative to any
measure of performance as promulgated under GAAP.

DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION  was $7.4 million in the second  quarter of 2002
versus $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2001. Depreciation and amortization
was $14.7  million in the first six months of 2002 versus  $13.9  million in the
first  six  months  of  2001.  The  increase  in 2002 was  primarily  due to the
acquisition   of  properties   during  2001.   Depreciation   of  buildings  and
improvements is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful
life of 25 years. If we used a shorter or longer  estimated useful life it could
have a material impact on our results of operations and financial  position.  We
believe that 25 years is an appropriate estimate of useful life. No depreciation
has been recorded on Crest Net's properties because they are held for sale.

Amortization of goodwill for the second quarter and six months ended of 2001 was
$231,000 and $462,000,  respectively.  In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective
January 2002,  our goodwill is no longer  amortized,  but instead will be tested
for impairment at least  annually.  If goodwill is determined to be impaired,  a
provision for  impairment  will be recorded to reduce the carrying  value to its
fair value.  During the second  quarter of 2002, we completed  the  transitional
impairment testing of our goodwill and found that our goodwill was not impaired.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased by $482,000 to $2.3 million in the
second quarter of 2002 versus $1.9 million in the same quarter of 2001.  General
and administrative  expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.9% in the
second quarter of 2002 as compared to 6.5% in the same quarter of 2001.  General
and administrative  expenses increased primarily due to an increase in employees
and  employee  related  costs.  Realty  Income and Crest Net had 55 employees at
August 8, 2002 as  compared  to 48  employees  at the  beginning  of 2001.  This
increase in staffing  was largely due to an increase in our legal and  portfolio
management  departments  due to the  increase  in the size and  maturity  of our
portfolio.  We feel our current staffing levels are sufficient to meet the needs
of the company.  We do not  anticipate  the number of employees to increase over
the next  several  quarters.  To a lesser  extent,  general  and  administrative
expenses  also  increased  due to  increases  in  insurance  costs and  property
acquisition costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $831,000 to $4.7 million in the
first six months of 2002  versus  $3.9  million in the first six months of 2001.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.1%
in 2002  as  compared  to 6.6% in  2001.  General  and  administrative  expenses
increased due to reasons stated above.

                                       24


PROPERTY  EXPENSES are broken down into costs  associated  with  non-net  leased
multi-tenant properties, unleased single-tenant properties and general portfolio
expenses.  Expenses  related  to the  multi-tenant  and  unleased  single-tenant
properties  include,  but are  not  limited  to,  property  taxes,  maintenance,
insurance,  utilities,  property  inspections,  bad debt expense and legal fees.
General  portfolio  costs  include,  but are not limited to,  insurance,  legal,
property inspections and title search fees. At June 30, 2002, 19 properties were
available  for lease,  as compared to 20 at December 31, 2001 and 23 at June 30,
2001.

Property  expenses were  $622,000 in the second  quarter of 2002 and $556,000 in
the second  quarter of 2001.  The  $66,000  increase  in  property  expenses  is
primarily  attributable to an increase in portfolio property insurance and costs
associated with the properties available for lease.  Property expenses were $1.2
million in both the first six months of 2002 and the first six months of 2001.

OTHER  EXPENSES  increased  $358,000 to  $598,000 in the second  quarter of 2002
versus $240,000 in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in 2002 is primarily
due to an increase in Crest Net income taxes of  $347,000.  Crest Net taxes were
higher because its net income was higher.

The following is a summary of our other expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands):

Other  expenses  decreased  $134,000 to $886,000 in the first six months of 2002
versus  $1.0  million in the first six months of 2001.  The  decrease in 2002 is
primarily  due to a decrease in Crest Net income  taxes of  $144,000.  Crest Net
taxes were lower because its net income was lower.

A PROVISION  FOR  IMPAIRMENT  LOSS of $200,000  and $530,000 was recorded in the
second  quarter  and first six months of 2001,  respectively.  A  provision  for
impairment  loss of $670,000 and $830,000 was recorded in the second quarter and
first  six  months  of  2002,  respectively,  and is  included  in  discontinued
operations.  We review  long-lived  assets  for  impairment  whenever  events or
changes in circumstances  indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not
be recoverable.  Generally, a provision is made for impairment loss if estimated
future operating cash flows  (undiscounted  and without  interest  charges) plus
estimated  disposition  proceeds  (undiscounted)  are less than the current book
value.  Impairment  losses are  measured as the amount by which the current book
value of the asset  exceeds the fair value of the asset.  The carrying  value of
our real estate is the largest  component of our consolidated  balance sheet. If
events  should occur that  required us to reduce the carrying  value of our real
estate by recording  provisions for impairment  losses, it could have a material
impact on our results of operations or financial position.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS.  In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board issued  Statement  No. 144,  Accounting  for the  Impairment or
Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets.  Effective  January 1, 2002,  Statement No. 144
superseded Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  Of.  Statement  No.  144  requires
long-lived  assets to be  disposed  of to be  measured  at the lower of carrying

                                       25


amount or fair value less cost to sell on our balance  sheet.  It also broadened
the reporting requirements of discontinued  operations to include a component of
an entity  rather than a segment of a business.  Statement No. 144 states that a
component of an entity  comprises  operations and cash flows that clearly can be
distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest
of the entity.  In accordance  with Statement No. 144, we report each individual
property as a  reporting  component  for  determining  discontinued  operations.
Thirty  four  properties  listed as held for sale at June 30,  2002,  plus three
properties  sold during the first quarter of 2002 and 10 properties  sold during
the second quarter 2002 were reported as discontinued operations. As required by
Statement No. 144, three other properties  reported as held for sale at December
31,  2001,  that  were sold  during  2002,  were not  reported  as  discontinued
operations.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  our  income  from  discontinued
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in

GAIN ON SALES OF INVESTMENT  PROPERTIES.  During the second  quarter of 2002, we
sold 10  investment  properties  for $3.8 million and  recognized a gain of $1.3
million  which is included in income from  discontinued  operations.  During the
second quarter of 2001, we sold three investment properties for $2.6 million and
recognized a gain of $164,000.

During the first six months of 2002, we sold 16 investment  properties  for $7.2
million and  recognized a gain of $2.4  million.  Of this gain,  $2.1 million is
included in income from discontinued operations.  During the first six months of
2001, we sold 13 investment  properties  for $19.7 million and recognized a gain
of $6.1 million.

We have an active  portfolio  management  program that  incorporates the sale of
assets when we believe  the  reinvestment  of the sale  proceeds  will  generate
higher  returns,  enhance  the credit  quality of our real estate  portfolio  or
extend our average  remaining  lease term. At June 30, 2002, we classified  real
estate with a carrying amount of $32.7 million as held for sale,  which includes
$15.9  million in  properties  owned by Crest Net.  Additionally,  we anticipate
selling  properties  from our  portfolio  that  have  not yet been  specifically
identified. We anticipate we will receive up to $50 million in proceeds from the
sale of properties during the next 12 months. We intend to invest these proceeds
into new property acquisitions.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS. We declared preferred stock dividends of $2.4 million
in both the second  quarters of 2002 and 2001 and $4.9 million in both the first
six months of 2002 and 2001.

                                       26

NET INCOME  AVAILABLE  TO COMMON  STOCKHOLDERS  was $16.0  million in the second
quarter of 2002 and $11.0 million in the second  quarter of 2001, an increase of
$5.0 million.  Net income available to common  stockholders was $31.9 million in
the first six months of 2002 and $27.1  million in the first six months of 2001,
an increase of $4.8 million.

The  calculation  to  determine  net  income  available  to common  stockholders
includes gains and losses from the sale of investment  properties  some of which
is  included  in income from  discontinued  operations.  The amount of gains and
losses vary from period to period based on the timing of property  sales and can
significantly impact net income available to common stockholders.

The gain  recognized  from property  sales during the second quarter of 2002 was
$1.3 million.  This was $1.1 million more than the gain recognized from property
sales  during  the  second  quarter  of  2001.  Excluding  the  gain on sales of
properties,  net  income  available  to common  stockholders  increased  by $3.8
million, or 35.2%.

The gain  recognized from property sales during the first six months of 2002 was
$2.4 million.  This was $3.7 million less than the gain recognized from property
sales  during  the first  six  months  of 2001.  Excluding  the gain on sales of
properties,  net  income  available  to common  stockholders  increased  by $8.5
million, or 40.5%.


                                   PROPERTIES

As of June 30, 2002, we owned a diversified portfolio:

o    Of 1,199 properties;
o    With an occupancy rate of 98.4%, or 1,180 of the 1,199 properties;
o    Leased to 81 different retail chains;
o    Doing business in 24 separate retail industries;
o    Located in 48 states;
o    With over 9.8 million square feet of leasable space; and
o    With an average leasable retail space of 8,200 square feet on approximately
     62,000 square feet of land.

In addition to our real estate portfolio, at June 30, 2002 our subsidiary, Crest
Net, owned a portfolio of 15 properties and had invested $15.9 million.

At June 30,  2002,  1,175 or 98.0% of the 1,199  properties  were  leased  under
net-lease agreements.  Net leases typically require the tenant to be responsible
for minimum  monthly rent and property  operating  expenses  including  property
taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, tenants are typically responsible
for future rent increases  (generally subject to ceilings) based on increases in
the consumer price index,  fixed  increases or additional  rent  calculated as a
percentage of the tenants' gross sales above a specified level.

Our net-leased  retail  properties are primarily leased to regional and national
retail chain store operators.  Generally,  buildings are single-story properties
with adequate parking on site to accommodate  peak retail traffic  periods.  The
properties tend to be on major thoroughfares with relatively high traffic counts
and adequate  access,  egress and proximity to a sufficient  population  base to
constitute a suitable market or trade area for the retailer's business.

(1) This table does not  include  five  multi-tenant  properties  and 19 vacant,
unleased  single-tenant  properties owned by the Company and properties owned by
our subsidiary,  Crest Net Lease.  The lease  expirations  for properties  under
construction are based on the estimated date of completion of such properties.

(2) Annualized  rent is calculated by multiplying the monthly  contractual  base
rent as of June  30,  2002  for  each of the  properties  by 12 and  adding  the
previous 12 month's  historic  percentage  rent on properties  owned at June 30,
2002,  which  totaled  $1.7  million  (i.e.,  additional  rent  calculated  as a
percentage  of the  tenants'  gross  sales  above a  specified  level).  For the
properties under construction,  an estimated contractual base rent is used based
upon the estimated total costs of each property.  The following table sets forth
certain state-by-state  information regarding Realty Income's property portfolio
as of June 30, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Does not include properties owned by our subsidiary, Crest Net Lease.
(2) Annualized  rent is calculated by multiplying the monthly  contractual  base
rent as of June 30, 2002 for each of the properties by 12 and adding the

                                       31


previous 12 month's  historic  percentage  rent on properties  owned at June 30,
2002,  which  totaled  $1.7  million  (i.e.,  additional  rent  calculated  as a
percentage  of the  tenants'  gross  sales  above a  specified  level).  For the
properties under construction,  an estimated contractual base rent is used based
upon the estimated total costs of each property.


                               IMPACT OF INFLATION

Tenant  leases  generally  provide for limited  increases in rent as a result of
increases in the tenants' sales volumes,  increases in the consumer price index,
and/or  fixed  increases.  We expect  that  inflation  will  cause  these  lease
provisions to result in increases in rent over time. During times when inflation
is greater than increases in rent as provided for in the leases,  rent increases
may not keep up with the rate of inflation.

Approximately 98.0% or 1,175 of the 1,199 properties in the portfolio are leased
to tenants under net leases where the tenant is  responsible  for property costs
and  expenses.  These lease  features  reduce our  exposure  to rising  property
expenses due to inflation.  Inflation  and  increased  costs may have an adverse
impact on our tenants if increases in their operating  expenses exceed increases
in revenue.


                       IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A. In June 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement  No. 142,  Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets.  Statement  No. 142
requires that goodwill and  intangible  assets with  indefinite  useful lives no
longer be amortized,  but instead  tested for  impairment  at least  annually in
accordance  with the  provisions  of Statement  No. 142.  Statement No. 142 also
requires that  intangible  assets with definite  useful lives be amortized  over
their respective  estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance  with FASB  Statement No. 121,  Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of.

The Company adopted Statement No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. At the date of
adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $17.2 million.
Amortization expense related to goodwill was $231,000 and $462,000 during second
quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively. The Company does not have
any intangible assets or unamortized negative goodwill. As required by Statement
No. 142, we applied our goodwill to the relevant "reporting units" which were
determined to be the seven industry segments we had investments in at the time
the goodwill originated. During the second quarter of 2002, we completed the
transitional impairment testing of our goodwill and found that our goodwill was
not impaired.

B. In August  2001,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  144,  Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets.  Statement No. 144 will  supersede
Statement No. 121,  Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for
Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed  Of.  Statement  No. 144  requires  long-lived
assets to be disposed of to be measured at the lower of carrying  amount or fair
value less cost to sell on our balance sheet. The Company adopted the provisions
of Statement  No. 144 on January 1, 2002.  The adoption of Statement No. 144 has
not had a material  effect on our financial  position,  results of operations or
liquidity.

C.  In  July  2002,  we  changed  our  method  of  accounting  for   stock-based
compensation  to the fair value based  method which is the  preferred  method of
accounting  as  provided  for under  FASB  Statement  No.  123,  Accounting  for
Stock-Based Compensation. The effect of the change in accounting for stock-based
compensation  will be to recognize stock  compensation  expense over the vesting
period for those stock options  granted on or after  January 1, 2002.  For stock
options  granted  prior to  January  1,  2002,  we will  continue  to apply  the
provisions  under  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25 unless the stock
options are modified or settled for cash.  The impact of adopting  Statement No.
123 is not  expected to have a material  effect on our  financial  position  and
results of operations.

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
               ----------------------------------------------------------

We are  exposed to interest  rate  changes  primarily  as a result of our credit
facilities  and long-term  notes used to maintain  liquidity and expand our real
estate  investment  portfolio and operations.  Our interest rate risk management
objective  is to limit the impact of interest  rate changes on earnings and cash
flow and to lower our overall  borrowing  costs. To achieve these  objectives we
issue long-term notes,  primarily at fixed rates and may selectively  enter into
derivative financial instruments such as interest rate lock agreements, interest
rate swaps and caps in order to  mitigate  our  interest  rate risk on a related
financial instrument. We are not a party to any derivative financial instruments
at June 30,  2002.  We do not enter into any  transactions  for  speculative  or
trading purposes.

Our interest  rate risk is monitored  using a variety of  techniques.  The table
below presents the principal  amounts,  weighted  average  interest rates,  fair
values and other terms  required by year of  expected  maturity to evaluate  the
expected cash flows and  sensitivity to interest rate changes  (dollars in table
in millions).

(1) $110 million  matures in 2007,  $100 million matures in 2008 and $20 million
matures in 2009.

(2) We base  the fair  value  of the  fixed  rate  debt at June 30,  2002 on the
closing  market price or indicative  price per each note.  The fair value of the
variable rate debt approximates its carrying value because its terms are similar
to those available in the market place.

The table  incorporates  only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2002, it
does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date.
As a result,  our ultimate  realized gain or loss, with respect to interest rate
fluctuations,  would depend on the exposures  that arise during the period,  our
hedging strategies at the time, and interest rates.
