NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Quarters Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

CNL American Realty Fund, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in
Maryland on June 12, 1996, primarily to acquire properties
("Properties") located across the United States to be leased on a
long-term, triple-net basis. The Company intends to invest the proceeds
from its public offering, after deducting offering expenses, in hotel
Properties to be leased to operators of national and regional limited
service, extended stay and full service hotel chains (the "Hotel
Chains") and in restaurant Properties to be leased to operators of
selected national and regional fast-food, family-style and casual
dining restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). The Company may
also provide mortgage financing (the "Mortgage Loans"). The Company
also intends to offer furniture, fixture and equipment financing
("Secured Equipment Leases") to operators of Hotel Chains and
Restaurant Chains.
2. Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement
of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998, may not be indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. Amounts as
of December 31, 1997, included in the financial statements, have been
derived from audited financial statements as of that date.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The Company was a development stage enterprise from June 12, 1996
through October 15, 1997. Since operations had not begun, activities
through October 15, 1997, were devoted to organization of the Company.
Effective, January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
Statement requires the reporting of net earnings and all other changes

affiliate of the Company, CNL Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor"). The Advisor has agreed to pay all organizational and
offering expenses (excluding commissions and marketing support and due
diligence expense reimbursement fees) which exceed three percent of the
gross offering proceeds received from the sale of shares of the
Company.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31,
1997, the Company incurred $762,855 and $2,304,561, respectively, in
organizational and offering costs, including $565,876 and $906,032,
respectively, in commissions and marketing support and due diligence
expense reimbursement fees (see Note 6). Of these amounts $762,855 and
$2,284,561, respectively, have been treated as stock issuance costs and
$20,000 have been treated as organization costs. The stock issuance
costs have been charged to stockholders' equity subject to the three
percent cap described above.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
CNL American Realty Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland
corporation that was organized on June 12, 1996, to acquire properties (the
"Properties") located across the United States to be leased on a long-term,
"triple-net" basis to operators of selected national and regional limited
service, extended stay and full service hotel chains (the "Hotel Chains") and
operators of national and regional fast-food, family-style and casual dining
restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). The Company is not obligated to
invest in both hotel Properties and restaurant Properties. The Company may also
provide mortgage financing (the "Mortgage Loans") in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately 5% to 10% of the gross offering proceeds. The Company
also intends to offer furniture, fixture and equipment financing ("Secured
Equipment Leases") to operators of Hotel Chains and Restaurant Chains. Secured
Equipment Leases will be funded from the proceeds of financing to be obtained by
the Company. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of Secured Equipment
Leases will not exceed 10% of gross proceeds from the offering.
This information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the
Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference
include the following: changes in general economic conditions, changes in local
and national real estate conditions, continued availability of proceeds from the
Company's offering, the ability of the Company to obtain a line of credit or
permanent financing, as described above, on satisfactory terms, the ability of
the Company to identify suitable investments, the ability of the Company to
locate suitable tenants for its Properties and borrowers for its Mortgage Loans
and Secured Equipment Leases, and the ability of such tenants and borrowers to
make payments under their respective leases, Mortgage Loans or Secured Equipment
Leases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Effective July 9, 1997, the Company commenced its offering of shares of
common stock. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had received aggregate
subscription proceeds of $18,398,853 (1,839,885 shares), from the offering,
including $4,521 (452 shares) through the Company's reinvestment plan.
11
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
As of March 31, 1998, net proceeds to the Company from its offering of
shares and capital contributions from CNL Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (the
"Advisor"), after deduction of selling commissions, marketing support and due
diligence expense reimbursement fees and organizational and offering expenses
totalled approximately $15,531,000. The Company has incurred approximately
$861,000 in acquisition fees and acquisition expenses, leaving approximately
$14,670,000 in net offering proceeds available for investment in Properties and
Mortgage Loans.
As of May 1, 1998, the Company had received subscription proceeds
(excluding capital contributions from the Advisor) of $20,921,553 (2,092,155
shares) from its offering of shares. As of May 1, 1998, net proceeds to the
Company from its offering of shares and capital contributions from the Advisor,
after deduction of selling commissions, marketing support and due diligence
expense reimbursement fees and organizational and offering expenses totalled
approximately $17,852,000. The Company has incurred approximately $974,000 in
acquisition fees and acquisition expenses, leaving approximately $16,878,000 in
net offering proceeds available for investment in Properties and Mortgage Loans.
The Company is presently negotiating to acquire Properties, but as of
May 1, 1998, the Company had not acquired any Properties or entered into any
Mortgage Loans.
The Company expects to use net offering proceeds from the sale of
shares to purchase Properties and to invest in Mortgage Loans. In addition, the
Company intends to borrow money to acquire Properties, to invest in Mortgage
Loans and Secured Equipment Leases, and to pay certain related fees. The Company
intends to encumber assets in connection with such borrowing.
The Company has received a commitment letter from a bank for an initial
$30,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used by the Company to acquire or
construct hotels. The commitment letter provides that the term of the line of
credit shall be five years with an annual review to be performed by the bank to
indicate that there has been no substantial deterioration, in the bank's
reasonable opinion, of the credit quality, and each loan made under the line
will be payable interest only, monthly, for a period not to exceed five years.
Advances under the line of credit will bear interest at competitive rates. Each
loan made under the line of credit will be secured by the assignment of rents
and leases. In addition, the commitment provides that the Company will not be
able to further encumber the applicable hotel Property during the term of the
loan without the bank's consent. The Company anticipates executing the documents
relating to the $30,000,000 line of credit in the second quarter of 1998;
although, there is no assurance that the Company will obtain such line of
credit. As of May 1, 1998, the documents relating to the line of credit had not
been executed. The Company has not yet received a commitment for any permanent
financing and there is no assurance that the Company will obtain any permanent
financing on satisfactory terms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
Properties will be leased on a long-term, triple-net basis, meaning
that tenants are generally required to pay all repairs and maintenance, property
taxes, insurance and utilities. Rental payments under the leases are expected to
exceed the Company's operating expenses. For these reasons, no short-term or
long-term liquidity problems associated with operating the Properties are
currently anticipated by management.
Until Properties are acquired, or Mortgage Loans are entered into, net
offering proceeds are held in short-term, highly liquid investments which
management believes to have appropriate safety of principal. This investment
strategy provides high liquidity in order to facilitate the Company's use of
these funds to acquire Properties at such time as Properties suitable for
acquisition are located or to fund Mortgage Loans. At March 31, 1998, the
Company had $14,945,934 invested in such short-term investments (including
certificates of deposit totalling $1,500,000) as compared to $8,869,838 at
December 31, 1997. The increase in the amount invested in short-term investments
reflects subscription proceeds derived from the sale of shares during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. These funds will be used primarily to purchase
Properties, to make Mortgage Loans, to pay organizational and offering expenses
and acquisition expenses, to pay distributions to stockholders, to meet other
Company expenses and, in management's discretion, to create cash reserves.
During the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, affiliates of the
Company incurred on behalf of the Company $107,367 and $41,491, respectively,
for certain organizational and offering expenses. In addition, during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, affiliates of the Company incurred on behalf of
the Company $6,685 for certain acquisition expenses and $24,304 for certain
operating expenses. As of March 31, 1998, the Company owed the Advisor $121,882
for such amounts, unpaid fees and administrative expenses (including accounting;
financial, tax and regulatory compliance and reporting; stockholder
distributions and reporting; due diligence and marketing; and investor
relations). The Advisor has agreed to pay or reimburse to the Company all
organizational and offering expenses in excess of three percent of gross
offering proceeds.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated cash
from operations (which includes interest received less cash paid for operating
expenses) of $67,118. Based on current and anticipated future cash from
operations the Company declared distributions to its stockholders of $101,356
during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. No distributions were paid or declared
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. On April 1, 1998, and May 1, 1998, the
Company declared distributions to stockholders of record on April 1, 1998, and
May 1, 1998, respectively, totalling $46,668 and $52,804, respectively, ($0.025
per share), payable in June 1998.
13
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 100 percent of the distributions received
by stockholders were considered to be ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes. No amounts distributed or to be distributed to the stockholders as of
May 1, 1998, were required to be or have been treated by the Company as a return
of capital for purposes of calculating the stockholders' return on their
invested capital.
Due to anticipated low operating expenses, rental income expected to be
obtained from Properties after they are acquired, the fact that the line of
credit and permanent financing have not been obtained and that the Company has
not entered into Mortgage Loans or Secured Equipment Leases, management does not
believe that working capital reserves will be necessary at this time. Management
has the right to cause the Company to maintain reserves if, in their discretion,
they determine such reserves are required to meet the Company's working capital
needs.
As of May 1, 1998, the Company had not entered into any arrangements
creating a reasonable probability that a Property would be acquired by the
Company or that a particular Mortgage Loan or Secured Equipment Lease would be
funded.
Management expects that the cash to be generated from operations will
be adequate to pay operating expenses and to make distributions to stockholders.
Results of Operations
No operations commenced until the Company received the minimum offering
proceeds of $2,500,000 on October 15, 1997. As of May 1, 1998, the Company had
not yet acquired any Properties nor entered into any Mortgage Loans.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company earned $139,153 in
interest income from investments in money market accounts and certificates of
deposit. Interest income is expected to increase as the Company invests
subscription proceeds received in the future in highly liquid investments
pending investment in Properties and Mortgage Loans. However, as net offering
proceeds are invested in Properties and used to make Mortgage Loans, the
percentage of the Company's total revenues from interest income from investments
in money market accounts or other short term, highly liquid investments is
expected to decrease.
14
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - Continued
Operating expenses, including amortization expense, were $91,845 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Operating expenses, including amortization
expense, represent only a portion of operating expenses which the Company is
expected to incur during a full year in which the Company owns Properties. The
dollar amount of operating expenses is expected to increase as the Company
acquires Properties and invests in Mortgage Loans. However, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues is expected to
decrease as the Company acquires Properties and invests in Mortgage Loans.
