Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Current Report on Form 8-K of National Retail Properties, Inc. dated June 24, 2009. The information herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as "believe," "expect" and "may."

The term "NNN" or the "Company" refers to National Retail Properties, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. NNN has elected to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiaries. These subsidiaries and their majority owned and controlled subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "TRS."

Overview

NNN's operations are divided into two primary business segments: (i) investment assets, including real estate assets, mortgages and notes receivable and commercial mortgage residual interests (collectively, "Investment Assets"), and
(ii) inventory real estate assets ("Inventory Assets"). NNN acquires, owns, invests in, manages and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases ("Investment Properties" or "Investment Portfolio"). As of June 30, 2009, NNN owned 999 Investment Properties (including 12 properties that NNN operates), with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 11,375,000 square feet, located in 44 states. Approximately 97 percent of total properties in NNN's Investment Portfolio were leased or operated as of June 30, 2009. In addition, as of June 30, 2009, NNN had $49,774,000 in mortgages and notes receivables and $25,525,000 commercial mortgage residuals interests.

The TRS, directly and indirectly, through investment interests, acquires and/or develops real estate primarily for the purpose of selling the real estate ("Inventory Properties" or "Inventory Portfolio"). The TRS typically owns two types of properties, property for development ("Development Properties" or "Development Portfolio") and improved properties ("Exchange Properties" or "Exchange Portfolio"). As of June 30, 2009, the TRS held 30 Inventory Properties, of which 18 were Development Properties (11 completed inventory, one under construction and six land parcels) and 12 were Exchange Properties.

NNN's management team focuses on certain key indicators to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. The key indicators for NNN include items such as: the composition of NNN's Investment Portfolio (such as tenant, geographic and line of trade diversification), the occupancy rate of NNN's Investment Portfolio, certain financial performance ratios and profitability measures, and industry trends and performance compared to that of NNN.

NNN continues to maintain its diversification by tenant, geography and line of trade. NNN's highest lines of trade concentrations are the convenience store and restaurant (including full and limited service) sectors. These sectors represent a large part of the free standing retail property marketplace which NNN believes represent an area of attractive investment opportunity. However, any financial hardship within these sectors could have an adverse effect on the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. NNN has some geographic concentration in the south and southeast which NNN believes are areas of above-average population growth.

Revenue from Continuing Operations Analysis

General. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, NNN's revenue increased primarily due to rental income from properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as well as rent settlement fees received during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.

The following table summarizes NNN's revenues from continuing operations (dollars in thousands):

Revenue from Operations by Source of Income. NNN has identified two primary business segments, and thus, sources of revenue: (i) earnings from Investment Assets, and (ii) earnings from Inventory Assets. NNN's revenues from continuing operations come primarily from its Investment Assets. The revenues generated from NNN's Inventory Assets are typically classified as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").

Rental Income. Rental income increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008, but remained relatively stable as a percent of the total revenues from continuing operations. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of 109 Investment Properties with aggregate gross leasable area of 868,000 square feet during the year ended December 31, 2008 of which 61 properties with aggregate gross leasable area of 598,000 square feet were acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, NNN recorded $4,976,000 and $404,000 in lease termination fees and rent settlement during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of which $2,190,000 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Real Estate Expense Reimbursements from Tenants. Real estate expense reimbursements from tenants increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008 and remained fairly consistent as a percentage of total revenues from continuing operations. The increase is attributable to reimbursements from certain properties acquired in 2008 as well as reimbursements resulting from the releasing of existing vacancies.

Interest and Other Income from Real Estate Transactions. Interest and other income from real estate transactions decreased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to a lower weighted average principal balance on NNN's mortgages receivable and structured finance investments during the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average outstanding principal balance on NNN's mortgages receivable and structured finance investments was $26,184,000 and $49,853,000, respectively.

Interest Income on Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests. Interest income on commercial mortgage residual interests ("Residuals") decreased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods last year, but remained relatively stable as a percent of total revenues from continuing operations. The decrease in interest income on Residuals is primarily the result of the decrease in loan prepayment speeds and an increase in the loan delinquencies.

Analysis of Expenses from Continuing Operations

General. Operating expenses from continuing operations increased for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to the increase in
depreciation related to the 2008 real estate acquisitions and other expenses

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased for quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008, both as a percentage of total operating expenses and as a percentage of revenues from continuing operations. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, is primarily attributable to a decrease in expenses related to compensation of personnel, a decrease in technology expenses and a decrease in lost pursuit costs.

Real Estate. Real estate expenses increased for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in 2008. The increase in real estate is primarily due to an increase in tenant reimbursable real estate expenses from 2008 acquisitions, as well as an increase in expenses related to vacant properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, depreciation and amortization expenses increased both as a percentage of revenues from continuing operations.

The increase is also attributable to the additional amortization in connection with the termination of certain leases.

Impairment - Commercial Mortgage Residual Interests Valuation Adjustment. In connection with the independent valuations of the Residuals' fair value, during the six months ended June 30, 2009. NNN recorded $758,000 as an other than temporary valuation adjustment during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
