PART I
Item 1. Business
CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on June 1, 1987. The general partners of the Partnership are Robert A.
Bourne, James M. Seneff, Jr. and CNL Realty Corporation, a Florida corporation
(the "General Partners"). Beginning on August 10, 1987, the Partnership offered
for sale up to $25,000,000 in limited partnership interests (the "Units")
(50,000 Units at $500 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-
11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering terminated on
April 29, 1988, as of which date the maximum offering proceeds of $25,000,000
had been received from investors who were admitted to the Partnership as limited
partners (the "Limited Partners").
The Partnership was organized primarily to acquire both newly constructed
and existing restaurant properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants
were to be constructed (the "Properties"), which are leased primarily to
operators of selected national and regional fast-food restaurant chains (the
"Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership from its offering of
Units, after deduction of organizational and offering expenses, totalled
$22,125,102, and were used to acquire 32 Properties, including interests in two
Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer.
During 1997, the Partnership sold its Properties in Chicago, Illinois;
Bradenton, Florida; Kissimmee, Florida; Roswell, Georgia and Mason City Iowa.
The Partnership reinvested a portion of these net sales proceeds in a Property
in Fayetteville, North Carolina. In addition, the Partnership reinvested a
portion of these net sales proceeds in three Properties, one each in Englewood,
Colorado, Miami, Florida, and Overland Park, Kansas, as tenants-in-common, with
affiliates of the General Partners during 1997 and 1998. During 1998, the
Partnership sold its Properties in Daytona Beach, Fernandina Beach, and Punta
Gorda, Florida; Hazard, Kentucky, and a Po Folks Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland. The Partnership reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds in a
joint venture arrangement, RTO Joint Venture, with an affiliate of the General
Partners to purchase, construct and hold one property. During 1999, the
Partnership sold its Perkins Property in Flagstaff, Arizona and its Denny's
Property in Hagerstown, Maryland. The Partnership reinvested the majority of the
remaining net sales proceeds from the 1998 and 1999 sales in a Property in
Montgomery, Alabama; a Property in Auburn, Alabama and a Property in Baytown,
Texas, as tenants-in-common, with affiliates of the General Partners. As a
result of the above transactions, as of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned
28 Properties. The 28 Properties include interests in three Properties owned by
joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and four Properties
owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common. Generally,
the Properties are leased on a triple-net basis with the lessees responsible for
all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities.
The Partnership will hold its Properties until the General Partners
determine that the sale or other disposition of the Properties is advantageous
in view of the Partnership's investment objectives. In deciding whether to sell
Properties, the General Partners will consider factors such as potential capital
appreciation, net cash flow and federal income tax considerations. Certain
lessees have been granted options to purchase Properties, generally at the
Property's then fair market value after a specified portion of the lease term
has elapsed. The Partnership has no obligation to sell all or any portion of a
Property at any particular time, except as may be required under Property or
joint venture purchase options granted to certain lessees.
On March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"), pursuant to which the
Partnership would be merged with and into a subsidiary of APF (the "Termination
of Merger"). APF is a real estate investment trust whose primary business is the
ownership of restaurant properties leased on a long-term, "triple-net" basis to
operators of national and regional restaurant chains. On March 11, 1999, the
Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with APF, pursuant to
which the Partnership would be merged with and into a subsidiary of APF. Under
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, APF was to issue shares of its common stock as
consideration for the Merger. On March 1, 2000, the General Partners and APF
announced that they had mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of
Merger. The agreement to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger was based,
in large part, on the General Partners' concern that, in light of market
conditions relating to publicly traded real estate investment trusts, the value
of the transaction had diminished. As a
1
<PAGE>
result of such diminishment, the General Partners' ability to unequivocally
recommend voting for the transaction, in the exercise of their fiduciary duties,
had become questionable.
Leases
Although there are variations in the specific terms of the leases, the
following is a summarized description of the general structure of the
Partnership's leases. The leases of the Properties owned by the Partnership and
joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer provide for initial
terms ranging from 15 to 20 years (the average being 18 years), and expire
between 2002 and 2019. Generally, leases are on a triple-net basis, with the
lessees responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance
and utilities. The leases of the Properties generally provide for minimum base
annual rental payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from
approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The majority of the leases provide for
percentage rent, based on sales in excess of a specified amount, to be paid
annually. In addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual base rent
during the lease term.
The leases of the Properties provide for two or four five-year renewal
options subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease. Lessees
of 21 of the Partnership's 28 Properties also have been granted options to
purchase Properties at each Property's then fair market value, or pursuant to a
formula based on the original cost of the Property, after a specified portion of
the lease term has elapsed. Fair market value will be determined through an
appraisal by an independent firm. Additionally, certain leases provide the
lessee an option to purchase up to a 49 percent interest in the Property, after
a specified portion of the lease term has elapsed, at an option purchase price
similar to that described above, multiplied by the percentage interest in the
Property with respect to which the option is being exercised.
The leases also generally provide that, in the event the Partnership wishes
to sell the Property subject to that lease, the Partnership must first offer the
lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and conditions, and
for the same price, as any offer which the Partnership has received for the sale
of the Property.
In January 1999, the Partnership reinvested a portion of the net sales
proceeds from the sales of the Properties in Hagerstown, Maryland and Hazard,
Kentucky, in a Property located in Montgomery, Alabama. The lease terms for this
Property are substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases, as
described above.
In October 1999, the Partnership reinvested a portion of the net sales
proceeds from the sales of the Properties in Hagerstown, Maryland and Flagstaff,
Arizona, in a Property located in Auburn, Alabama. The lease terms for this
Property are substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases, as
described above.
In addition, in October 1999, the Partnership reinvested a portion of the
net sales proceeds from the sale of the Denny's Property located in Hagerstown,
Maryland, in an IHOP Property located in Baytown, Texas, with an affiliate of
the General Partners, as tenants-in-common, as described below in "Joint Venture
and Tenancy in Common Arrangements". The lease terms for this Property are
substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases, as described above.
Major Tenants
During 1999, one lessee of the Partnership and its consolidated joint
venture, Golden Corral Corporation, contributed more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental income (including rental income from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of rental
income from two Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and four
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
As of December 31, 1999, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases
relating to five restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum
rental payments required by the leases, this lessee will continue to contribute
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income in 2000 and
subsequent years. In addition, three Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral Family
Steakhouse Restaurants ("Golden Corral"), Pizza Hut, and KFC, each accounted for
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income in 1999
(including rental income from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and
the Partnership's share of the rental income from two Properties owned by
unconsolidated joint ventures and four Properties owned with affiliates of the
General Partners as tenants-in-common). In subsequent years, it is anticipated
that these three Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than
ten
2
<PAGE>
percent of total rental income to which the partnership is entitled under the
terms of the leases. Any failure of Golden Corral Corporation or any of these
Restaurant Chains could materially affect the Partnership's income, if the
Partnership is not able to re-lease these Properties in a timely manner. As of
December 31, 1999, no single tenant or group of affiliated tenants lease
Properties with an aggregate carrying value in excess of 20 percent of the total
assets of the Partnership.
Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common Arrangements
The Partnership has entered into a joint venture arrangement, Tuscawilla
Joint Venture, with three unaffiliated entities to purchase and hold one
Property. In addition, the Partnership has entered into two separate joint
venture arrangements: Titusville Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd., an
affiliate of the General Partners, to purchase and hold one Property; and RTO
Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund V, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partners, to purchase, construct and hold one Property. Construction for the
Property owned by RTO Joint Venture was completed and rent commenced in December
1998. The affiliates are limited partnerships organized pursuant to the laws of
the State of Florida.
The joint venture arrangements provide for the Partnership and its joint
venture partners to share in all costs and benefits associated with the joint
venture in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the joint
venture. The Partnership has a 69.07%, 73.4%, and 46.88% interest in Tuscawilla
Joint Venture, Titusville Joint Venture, and RTO Joint Venture, respectively.
The Partnership and its joint venture partners are also jointly and severally
liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint venture.
Each joint venture has an initial term of approximately 20 years (generally
the same term as the initial term of the lease for the Property in which the
joint venture invested) and, after the expiration of the initial term, continues
in existence from year to year unless terminated at the option of any joint
venture partner or by an event of dissolution. Events of dissolution include the
bankruptcy, insolvency or termination of any joint venturer, sale of the
Property owned by the joint venture and mutual agreement of the Partnership and
its joint venture partner to dissolve the joint venture.
The Partnership has management control of Tuscawilla Joint Venture and
shares management control equally with affiliates of the General Partners for
Titusville Joint Venture and RTO Joint Venture. The joint venture agreements
restrict each venturer's ability to sell, transfer or assign its joint venture
interest without first offering it for sale to its joint venture partners,
either upon such terms and conditions as to which the ventures may agree or, in
the event the ventures cannot agree, on the same terms and conditions as any
offer from a third party to purchase such joint venture interest.
Net cash flow from operations of Tuscawilla Joint Venture, Titusville Joint
Venture and RTO Joint Venture is distributed 69.07%, 73.4% and 46.88%,
respectively, to the Partnership and the balance is distributed to each other
joint venture partner in accordance with its respective percentage interest in
the joint venture. Any liquidation proceeds, after paying joint venture debts
and liabilities and funding reserves for contingent liabilities, will be
distributed first to the joint venture partners with positive capital account
balances in proportion to such balances until such balances equal zero, and
thereafter in proportion to each joint venture partner's percentage interest in
the joint venture.
In addition to the above joint venture arrangements, the Partnership has
entered into three agreements to hold a Property as tenants-in common: one in
Englewood, Colorado, with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., one in Overland Park,
Kansas, with CNL Income Fund II, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd., and one in
Miami, Florida, with CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd., CNL Income Fund X, Ltd., and CNL
Income Fund XIII, Ltd. Each of the CNL Income Funds is an affiliate of the
General Partners. The agreements provide for the Partnership and the affiliates
to share in the profits and losses of the Properties in proportion to each
party's percentage interest. The Partnership owns a 33 percent, 25.87% and 9.84%
interest in the Properties, respectively.
In addition, in October 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
hold an IHOP Property, as tenants-in-common, with CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd.,
affiliate of the General Partners. The agreement provides for the Partnership
and the affiliate to share in the profits and losses of the Property in
proportion to each co-tenant's percentage interest. The Partnership owns a 20
percent interest in this Property.
3
<PAGE>
Each of the affiliates is a limited Partnership organized pursuant to the
laws of the State of Florida. The tenancy in common agreement restricts each
party's ability to sell, transfer, or assign its interest in the tenancy in
common's Property without first offering it for sale to the remaining party to
the agreement.
The use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements allows the
Partnership to fully invest its available funds at times at which it would not
have sufficient funds to purchase an additional property, or at times when a
suitable opportunity to purchase an additional property is not available. The
use of joint venture and tenancy in common arrangements also provides the
Partnership with increased diversification of its portfolio among a greater
number of properties. In addition, tenancy in common arrangements may allow the
Partnership to defer the gain for federal income tax purposes upon the sale of
the property if the proceeds are reinvested in an additional property.
Property Management
CNL Funds Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, acts as
manager of the Partnership's Properties pursuant to a property management
agreement with the Partnership. Under this agreement, CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. is
responsible for collecting rental payments, inspecting the Properties and the
tenants' books and records, assisting the Partnership in responding to tenant
inquiries and notices and providing information to the Partnership about the
status of the leases and the Properties. CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. also assists
the General Partners in negotiating the leases. For these services, the
Partnership has agreed to pay CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. an annual fee of one-half
of one percent of Partnership assets (valued at cost) under management, not to
exceed the lesser of one percent of gross rental revenues or competitive fees
for comparable services. Under the management agreement, the property management
fee is subordinated to receipt by the Limited Partners of an aggregate, ten
percent, noncumulative, noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions (the "10% Preferred Return"), calculated in accordance with the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement"). In
any year in which the Limited Partners have not received the 10% Preferred
Return, no property management fee will be paid.
The property management agreement continues until the Partnership no longer
owns an interest in any Properties unless terminated at an earlier date upon 60
days' prior notice by either party.
Employees
The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty Corporation
and the officers and employees of CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"),
the parent Company of CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., perform certain services for the
Partnership. In addition, the General Partners have available to them the
resources and expertise of the officers and employees of CNL Financial Group,
Inc. (formerly CNL Group, Inc.), a diversified real estate company, and its
affiliates, who may also perform certain services for the Partnership.
Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned 28 Properties. Of the 28
Properties, 21 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, three are owned
through joint venture arrangements and four are owned through tenancy in common
arrangements. See Item 1. Business - Joint Venture and Tenancy in Common
Arrangements. The Partnership is not permitted to encumber its Properties under
the terms of its partnership agreement. Reference is made to the Schedule of
Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation for a listing of the Properties and
their respective costs, including acquisition fees and certain acquisition
expenses.
Description of Properties
Land. The Partnership's Property sites range from approximately 11,800 to
74,600 square feet depending upon building size and local demographic factors.
Sites purchased by the Partnership are in locations zoned for commercial use
which have been reviewed for traffic patterns and volume.

Buildings. Each of the Properties owned by the Partnership includes a
building that is one of a Restaurant Chain's approved designs. The buildings
generally are rectangular and are constructed from various combinations of
stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile. Building sizes range from approximately
1,900 to 7,900 square feet. Generally, all buildings on Properties acquired by
the Partnership are freestanding and surrounded by paved parking areas.
Buildings are suitable for conversion to various uses, although modifications
may be required prior to use for other than restaurant operations. As of
December 31, 1999, the Partnership had no plans for renovation of the
Properties. Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements
using the straight line method using depreciable lives of 31.5 and 40 years for
federal income tax purposes. As of December 31, 1999, the aggregate cost of the
Properties owned by the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, and the
unconsolidated joint ventures (including the Properties owned through tenancy in
common arrangements) for federal income tax purposes was $9,556,868 and

The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and
sufficient for the Partnership's operations.
The General Partners believe that the Properties are adequately covered by
insurance. In addition, the General Partners have obtained contingent liability
and property coverage for the Partnership. This insurance is intended to reduce
the Partnership's exposure in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance policy
lapses or is insufficient to cover a claim relating to the Property.
Leases. The Partnership leases the Properties to operators of selected
national and regional fast-food restaurant chains. The leases are generally on
a long-term "triple net" basis, meaning that the tenant is responsible for
repairs, maintenance, property taxes, utilities and insurance. Generally, a
lessee is required, under the terms of its lease agreement, to make such capital
expenditures as may be reasonably necessary to refurbish buildings, premises,
signs and equipment so as to comply with the lessee's obligations, if
applicable, under the franchise agreement to reflect the current commercial
image of its Restaurant Chain. These capital expenditures are required to be
paid by the lessee during the term of the lease. The terms of the leases of the
Properties owned by the Partnership are described in Item 1. Business - Leases.
At December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Properties were 98%,
98%, 93%, 94%, and 97% occupied, respectively. The following is a schedule of
the average rent per Property for each of the years ended December 31:

Leases with Major Tenant. The terms of each of the leases with the
Partnership's major tenant as of December 31, 1998 (see Item 1. Business - Major
Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1. Business -
Leases.
Golden Corral Corporation leases five Golden Corral restaurants pursuant to
leases, each with an initial term of 15 years (expiring in 2002) and an average
minimum base annual rent of approximately $64,400 (ranging from approximately
$48,000 to $76,400).
Competition
The fast-food and family-style restaurant business is characterized by
intense competition. The restaurants on the Partnership's Properties compete
with independently owned restaurants, restaurants which are part of local or
regional chains, and restaurants in other well-known national chains, including
those offering different types of food and service.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On May 11, 1999, four limited partners in several CNL Income Funds served a
derivative and purported class action lawsuit filed April 22, 1999 against the
General Partners and APF in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit of
Orange County, Florida, alleging that the General Partners breached their
fiduciary duties and violated provisions of certain of the CNL Income Fund
partnership agreements in connection with the proposed Merger. The plaintiffs
are seeking unspecified damages and equitable relief. On July 8, 1999, the
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which, in addition to naming three
additional plaintiffs, includes allegations of aiding and abetting and
conspiring to breach fiduciary duties, negligence and breach of duty of good
faith against certain of the defendants and seeks additional equitable relief.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
(a) As of March 15, 2000, there were 2,032 holders of record of the Units.
There is no public trading market for the Units, and it is not anticipated
that a public market for the Units will develop. During 1999, Limited
Partners who wished to sell their Units may have offered the Units for sale
pursuant to the Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"),
and Limited Partners who wished to have their distributions used to acquire
additional Units (to the extent Units were available for purchase), may
have done so pursuant to such Plan. The General Partners had the right to
prohibit transfers of Units. From inception through December 31, 1999, the
price paid for any Unit transferred pursuant to the Plan ranged from
$382.50 to $475 per Unit. The price paid for any Units transferred other
than pursuant to the Plan was subject to negotiation by the purchaser and
the selling Limited Partner. The Partnership will not redeem or repurchase
Units.
The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, low and
average sales prices for transfers of Units during 1999 and 1998 other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions.

(1) A total of 387 1/2 and 255 Units were transferred other than pursuant to
the Plan for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The capital contribution per Unit was $500. All cash available for
distribution will be distributed to the partners pursuant to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.
For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership declared
cash distributions of $2,000,000 and $3,477,747, respectively, to the Limited
Partners. Distributions during 1998 included $1,477,747 as a result of the
distribution of net sales proceeds from the sale of the Properties in Fernandina
Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida. This special distribution was effectively a
return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although, in accordance
with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited Partners' unpaid
cumulative preferred return. The reduced number of Properties for which the
Partnership receives rental payments, as well as ongoing operations, reduced the
Partnership's revenues. The decrease in Partnership revenues, combined with the
fact that a significant portion of the Partnership's expenses are fixed in
nature, resulted in a decrease in cash distributions to the Limited Partners
during 1998. No amounts distributed to partners for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, are required to be or have been treated by the Partnership as a
return of capital for purposes of calculating the Limited Partners' return on
their adjusted capital contributions. No distributions have been made to the
General Partners to date. As indicated in the chart below, these distributions
were declared at the close of each of the Partnership's calendar quarters. These
amounts include monthly distributions made in arrears for the Limited Partners
electing to receive such distributions on this basis.

financial statements and related notes contained in Item 8 hereof.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The Partnership was organized on June 1, 1987, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through joint venture arrangements, both newly constructed and
existing restaurant Properties as well as land upon which restaurant Properties
were to be constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of selected
national and regional fast-food Restaurant Chains. The leases generally are
triple-net leases, with the lessees generally responsible for all repairs and
maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of December 31, 1999,
the Partnership owned 28 Properties, either directly or indirectly through joint
venture or tenancy in common arrangements.
Capital Resources
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership
generated cash from operations (which includes cash received from tenants,
distributions from joint ventures and interest received, less cash paid for
expenses) of $1,825,724, $1,821,296, and $2,021,689, respectively. The decrease
in cash from operations during 1999 and 1998, each as compared to the previous
year, was primarily a result of changes in income and expenses as
9
<PAGE>
described in "Results of Operations" below and changes in the Partnership's
working capital during each of the respective years.
Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.
During 1997, the Partnership entered into various promissory notes with the
corporate General Partner for loans totalling $117,000 in connection with the
operations of the Partnership. The loans were uncollateralized, non-interest
bearing and due on demand. The Partnership had repaid the loans in full to the
corporate General Partner as of December 31, 1997.
In January 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Chicago, Illinois, to
a third party, for $505,000 and received net sales proceeds of $496,418,
resulting in a gain of $3,827 for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership
used $452,000 of the net sales proceeds to pay liabilities of the Partnership,
including quarterly distributions to the Limited Partners. The balance of the
funds was used to pay past due real estate taxes on this Property incurred by
the Partnership as a result of a former tenant declaring bankruptcy. The
Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay
federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the
General Partners), resulting from the sale.
In March 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Bradenton, Florida, to
the tenant, for $1,332,154 and received net sales proceeds of $1,305,671,
resulting in a gain of $361,368 for financial reporting purposes. This Property
was originally acquired by the Partnership in June 1988 and had a cost of
approximately $1,080,500, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous
acquisition expense; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for
approximately $225,200 in excess of its original purchase price. In June 1997,
the Partnership reinvested approximately $1,276,000 of the net sales proceeds
received in a Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina and made the remaining
proceeds available to pay liabilities of the Partnership, including
distributions to Limited Partners. The transaction, or a portion thereof,
relating to the sale of the Property in Bradenton, Florida, and the reinvestment
of the proceeds in a Property in Fayetteville, North Carolina, qualified as a
like-kind exchange transaction for federal income tax purposes.
In April 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Kissimmee, Florida, to
a third party for $692,400 and received net sales proceeds of $673,159,
resulting in a gain of $271,929 for financial reporting purposes. This Property
was originally acquired by the Partnership in March 1988 and had a cost of
approximately $474,800, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expense; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $198,400
in excess of its original purchase price. In July 1997, the Partnership
reinvested approximately $511,700 of the net sales proceeds in a Property
located in Englewood, Colorado, as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the
General Partners. In connection therewith, the Partnership and the affiliate
entered into an agreement whereby each co-venturer share in the profits and
losses of the Property in proportion to each co-venturer's percentage interest.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned a 33 percent interest in the
Property. In January 1998, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds in an IHOP Property in Overland Park, Kansas, with affiliates of the
General Partners, as tenants-in-common. A portion of the transaction relating
to the sale of the Property in Kissimmee, Florida, and the reinvestment of a
portion of the proceeds in an IHOP Property in Englewood, Colorado, qualified as
a like-kind exchange transaction for federal income tax purposes.
In April 1996, the Partnership received $51,400 as partial settlement in a
right of way taking relating to a parcel of land of the Property in Plant City,
Florida. In April 1997, the Partnership received the remaining proceeds of
$73,600 finalizing the sale of the land parcel. In connection therewith, the
Partnership recognized a gain of $94,320 for financial reporting purposes.
In addition, in June 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Roswell,
Georgia, to a third party for $985,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$942,981, resulting in a gain of $237,608 for financial reporting purposes.
This Property was originally acquired by the Partnership in June 1988 and had a
cost of approximately $775,200, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous
acquisition expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for
approximately $167,800 in excess of its original purchase price. In connection
therewith, the Partnership received $257,981 in cash and accepted the remaining
sales proceeds in the form of a promissory note in the principal sum of
$685,000, collateralized by a mortgage on the Property. During 1998, the
Partnership collected the full amount of the outstanding
10
<PAGE>
mortgage note receivable balance of $678,730. In December 1997, the Partnership
reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds in a Property located in Miami,
Florida, as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partners. In
connection therewith, the Partnership and the affiliate entered into an
agreement whereby each co-venturer share in the profits and losses of the
Property in proportion to each co-venturer's percentage interest. In addition,
in January 1999, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds in
a Burger King Property in Montgomery, Alabama, at an approximate cost of
$939,900. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned a 9.84% interest in the
Property. The Partnership used the remaining net sales proceeds for other
Partnership purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable
the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level
reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from the sale.
In October 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Mason City, Iowa, to
the tenant for $218,790 and received net sales proceeds of $216,528, resulting
in a gain of $58,538 for financial reporting purposes. This Property was
originally acquired by the Partnership in March 1988 and had a cost of
approximately $190,300, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $26,200
in excess of its original purchase price. In January 1998, the Partnership
reinvested the net sales proceeds in a Property in Overland Park, Kansas, with
affiliates of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common. A portion of the
transaction, relating to the sale of the Property in Mason City, Iowa, and the
reinvestment of the proceeds in a Property in Overland Park, Kansas, with
affiliates as tenants-in-common, qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction
for federal income tax purposes.
In January 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Fernandina Beach,
Florida, to the tenant, for $730,000 and received net sales proceeds of $724,172
resulting in a gain of $242,129 for financial reporting purposes. In addition,
in January 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Daytona Beach, Florida, to
the tenant for $1,050,000 and received net sale proceeds of $1,006,501,
resulting in a gain of $267,759 for financial reporting purposes. These
Properties were originally acquired by the Partnership in May 1988 and August
1988, respectively, and had a total cost of approximately $1,464,200, excluding
acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the
Partnership sold the Properties for approximately $266,500 in excess of their
original purchase price. In connection with the sale of these Properties, the
Partnership incurred deferred, subordinated, real estate disposition fees of
$53,400. The Partnership distributed $1,477,747 of the net sales proceeds as a
special distribution to the Limited Partners and used the remaining proceeds to
pay liabilities of the Partnership. The Partnership distributed amounts
sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes,
if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from
these sales.
In February 1998, the Partnership also sold its Property in Punta Gorda,
Florida, to a third party, for $675,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$665,973, resulting in a gain of $73,485 for financial reporting purposes. In
May 1998, the Partnership contributed the net sales proceeds to a joint venture
arrangement as described below. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient
to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any (at
a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from these sales.
As described above, in May 1998, the Partnership entered into a joint
venture, RTO Joint Venture, with an affiliate of the General Partners, to
construct and hold one restaurant Property. As of December 31, 1999, the
Partnership had contributed $676,952 to purchase land and pay for construction
relating to the joint venture. Construction was completed and rent commenced in
December 1998. The Partnership holds a 46.88% interest in the profits and
losses of the joint venture.
In June 1998, the Partnership sold its Po Folks Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, to a third party, for $825,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$789,639, resulting in gain of $13,213 for financial reporting purposes. In
January 1999, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net sales proceeds
in a Property in Montgomery, Alabama. The Partnership intends to use the
remaining net sales proceeds to pay distributions to the Limited Partners and
for other Partnership purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient
to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any (at
a level reasonably assumed by the General Partners), resulting from these sales.
In September 1998, the Partnership entered into a new lease agreement for
the Golden Corral Property in Stockbridge, Georgia. In connection therewith,
the Partnership funded $150,000 in renovation costs.
11
<PAGE>
In December 1998, the Partnership sold its Property in Hazard, Kentucky, to
a third party for $435,000 and received net sales proceeds of $432,625,
resulting in a loss of $99,265 for financial reporting purposes. The
Partnership intends to use the net sales proceeds to pay distributions to the
Limited Partners and for other Partnership purposes. The Partnership
distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and
state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the General
Partners).
In April 1999, the Partnership sold its Property in Flagstaff, Arizona, to
the tenant for $1,103,127 and received net sales proceeds of $1,091,192,
resulting in a gain of $285,350 for financial reporting purposes. This Property
was originally acquired by the Partnership in October 1988 and had a cost of
approximately $993,500, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $97,700
in excess of its original purchase price. In October 1999, the Partnership
reinvested the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of this Property, in
an IHOP Property located in Auburn, Alabama, at an approximate cost of
$1,440,200. A portion of the transaction, relating to the sale of the Property
in Flagstaff, Arizona, and the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds in a
Property in Auburn, Alabama, qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction for
federal income tax purposes. The Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to
enable the Limited Partners to pay federal and state income taxes, if any, (at a
level reasonably assumed by the General Partners) resulting from the sale.
In June 1999, the Partnership sold its Denny's Property in Hagerstown,
Maryland, to the tenant for $710,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$700,977, resulting in a gain of $8,162 for financial reporting purposes. In
October 1999, the Partnership invested a portion of the net sales proceeds it
received from the sale in a Property in Baytown, Texas, with an affiliate of the
General Partners as tenants-in-common for a 20 percent interest in the Property.
In addition, in October 1999, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds in an IHOP Property in Auburn, Alabama, as described above. The
Partnership distributed amounts sufficient to enable the Limited Partners to pay
federal and state income taxes, if any (at a level reasonably assumed by the
General Partners), resulting from the sale.
None of the Properties owned by the Partnership, or the joint ventures or
tenancy in common arrangements in which the Partnership owns an interest, is or
may be encumbered. Subject to certain restrictions on borrowings from the
General Partners, however, the Partnership may borrow, in the discretion of the
General Partners, for the purpose of maintaining the operations of the
Partnership. The Partnership will not encumber any of the Properties in
connection with any borrowings or advances. The Partnership also will not
borrow under circumstances which would make the Limited Partners liable to
creditors of the Partnership. Affiliates of the General Partners from time to
time incur certain operating expenses on behalf of the Partnership for which the
Partnership reimburses the affiliates without interest.
Currently, rental income from the Partnership's Properties is invested in
money market accounts or other short-term, highly liquid investments such as
demand deposit accounts at commercial banks, certificates of deposit and money
market accounts with less than a 30-day maturity date, pending the Partnership's
use of such funds to pay Partnership expenses or to make distributions to the
partners. At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had $1,011,733 invested in such
short-term investments as compared to $2,047,140 at December 31, 1998. The
decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to the fact
that during 1999, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds
relating to the sale of several Properties during 1998, in additional
Properties. As of December 31, 1999, the average interest rate earned on the
rental income deposited in demand deposit accounts at commercial banks was
approximately 4.03% annually. The funds remaining at December 31, 1999, will be
distributed to the Limited Partners or used for other Partnership purposes.
Short-Term Liquidity
The Partnership's short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of
the operating expenses of the Partnership.
The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash and
generally leasing them under triple-net leases to operators who generally meet
specified financial standards minimizes the Partnership's operating expenses.
The General Partners believe that the leases will continue to generate cash flow
in excess of operating expenses.
Due to low operating expenses and ongoing cash flow, the General Partners
do not believe that working capital reserves are necessary at this time. In
addition, because the leases for the Partnership's Properties are generally
12
<PAGE>
on a triple-net basis, it is not anticipated that a permanent reserve for
maintenance and repairs will be established at this time. To the extent,
however, that the Partnership has insufficient funds for such purposes, the
General Partners will contribute to the Partnership an aggregate amount of up to
one percent of the offering proceeds for maintenance and repairs.
The General Partners have the right, but not the obligation, to make
additional capital contributions if they deem it appropriate in connection with
the operations of the Partnership.
The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations to the extent
that the General Partners determine that such funds are available for
distribution. Based primarily on current and anticipated cash from operations
and, for 1998 and 1997, a portion of the sales proceeds received from the sale
of Properties during 1998 and 1997, the Partnership declared distributions to
the Limited Partners of $2,000,000, $3,477,747, and $2,376,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This represents
distributions of $40.00, $69.55 and $47.52 per Unit for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The distribution to the Limited
Partners for 1997 was also based on a loan received from the General Partners of
$117,000 which was subsequently repaid, as described above in "Capital
Resources." Distributions for 1998 included $1,477,747 as a result of the
distribution of net sales proceeds from the sale of the Properties in Fernandina
Beach and Daytona Beach, Florida. This special distribution was effectively a
return of a portion of the Limited Partners' investment, although, in accordance
with the Partnership agreement, it was applied to the Limited Partner's unpaid
cumulative 10% Preferred Return. The reduced number of Properties for which the
Partnership receives rental payments, as well as ongoing operations, reduced the
Partnership's revenues. The decrease in Partnership revenues, combined with the
fact that a significant portion of the Partnership's expenses are fixed in
nature, resulted in a decrease in cash distributions to the Limited Partners
during 1998. No amounts distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, or 1997 are required to be or have been treated by the
Partnership as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the Limited
Partners return on their adjusted capital contributions. The Partnership
intends to continue to make distributions of cash available for distribution to
the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis.
During 1999, 1998, and 1997, affiliates of the General Partners incurred on
behalf of the Partnership $113,002, $95,798, and $71,681, respectively, for
certain operating expenses. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership owed
$53,231, and $84,337, respectively, to affiliates for such amounts and
accounting and administrative services. In addition, during the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership incurred $53,400 and $15,150,
respectively, in real estate disposition fees due to an affiliate as a result of
services provided in connection with the sale of the Properties in Chicago,
Illinois; Daytona Beach and Fernandina Beach, Florida. The payment of such fees
is deferred until the Limited Partners have received the sum of their cumulative
10% Preferred Return and their adjusted capital contributions. Other
liabilities, including distributions payable, increased to $616,884 at December
31, 1999, from $542,868 at December 31, 1998. The increase in amounts payable
to other parties was a result of the Partnership accruing transaction costs
relating to the proposed merger with CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"),
as described below. The General Partners believe that the Partnership has
sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs.
Long-Term Liquidity
The Partnership has no long-term debt or other long-term liquidity
requirements.

Results of Operations
During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Partnership and its
consolidated joint venture, Tuscawilla Joint Venture, owned and leased 32 wholly
owned Properties (including five Properties which were sold during 1997) and
during 1998, the Partnership owned and leased 27 wholly owned Properties
(including five Properties which were sold during 1998). During 1999, the
Partnership owned and leased 24 wholly owned Properties (including two
Properties which were sold during 1999). In addition, during the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Partnership was a co-venturer in a joint
venture that owned and leased one Property. During 1997 and 1998, the
Partnership also owned and leased two and three Properties, respectively, with
affiliates of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common. In addition, during
1999, the Partnership owned and leased one additional Property, with affiliates
of the General Partners, as tenants-in-common. As of December 31, 1999, the
Partnership owned, either directly or through joint venture arrangements, 28
Properties which are, in general, subject to long-term, triple-net leases. The
leases of the Properties provide for minimum base annual rental amounts (payable
in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $23,000 to $191,900. The
majority of the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a
specified amount. In addition, some leases provide for increases in the annual
base rent during the lease term. For further description of the Partnership's
leases and Properties, see Item 1. Business - Leases and Item 2. Properties,
respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership
and its consolidated joint venture, earned $1,620,310, $1,554,852, and
$1,930,486, respectively, in rental income from operating leases (net of
adjustments to accrued rental income) and earned income from direct financing
leases. The increase in rental and earned income during 1999, as compared to
1998, was partially offset by, and the decrease during 1998 as compared to 1997,
was partially attributable to a decrease of approximately $140,000 and $350,300,
respectively, as a result of Property sales during 1999, 1998, and 1997, as
described above in "Capital Resources." The increase during 1999, as compared
to 1998, was partially attributable to, and the decrease during 1998, as
compared to 1997, was partially offset by, an increase of approximately $118,800
and $69,100, respectively, due to the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds
received from Property sales during 1999, 1998 and 1997, as described above in
"Capital Resources".
Rental and earned income during 1998 and 1997 remained at reduced levels
due to the fact that the Partnership did not receive any rental income relating
to the Po Folks Property in Hagerstown, Maryland. In June 1998, the Partnership
sold the Property to a third party, as described above in "Capital Resources."
In January 1999, the Partnership reinvested the majority of the net sales
proceeds in a Property in Montgomery, Alabama and intends to use the remaining
net sales proceeds for other Partnership purposes.
In addition, the increase in rental and earned income during 1999, as
compared to 1998, and the decrease during 1998, as compared to 1997, was
partially the result of the fact that, in 1998, the tenant of the Property in
Canton Township, Michigan, vacated the Property and ceased operations. As a
result, during 1998, the Partnership wrote off approximately $51,300 in accrued
rental income (non-cash accounting adjustments relating to the straight-lining
of future scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), due to financial difficulties the
tenant was experiencing. Although the former tenant is continuing to pay under
the lease obligation, the Partnership is currently seeking either a replacement
tenant or purchaser for this Property.
The increase in rental income during 1999, as compared to 1998, and the
decrease during 1998, as compared to 1997, was also partially attributable to
the fact that, during 1998, the Partnership terminated the lease with the tenant
of the Property in Hazard, Kentucky, and wrote off approximately $29,500 of
accrued rental income recognized since inception relating to the straight-lining
of future scheduled rent increases in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, the decrease during 1998 was partially
attributable to the Partnership reserving approximately $41,400 in accrued
rental income (non-cash accounting adjustment relating to the straight-lining of
future scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles). The Partnership sold the Property in
Hazard, Kentucky, in December 1998, as described above in "Capital Resources."
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership
also earned $116,872, $98,915, and $157,648, respectively, in contingent rental
income. The increase in contingent rental income during 1999, as compared to
1998, was primarily attributable to increased gross sales of certain restaurant
Properties requiring the payment of contingent rental income. The decrease in
contingent rental income during 1998, as compared to 1997, was
14
<PAGE>
primarily attributable to the sales of Properties during 1998 and 1997, for
which the leases required the payment of contingent rental income.
In addition, during 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership earned $103,380,
$127,064, and $100,816, respectively, in interest and other income. The
increase in interest and other income during 1998 was primarily attributable to
an increase, during 1998, in interest income as a result of the fact that in
July 1998, the Partnership collected the full balance of a mortgage note
receivable related to the Property in Roswell, Georgia, that the Partnership had
accepted in conjunction with the sale of a Property in 1997.
The Partnership recognized income of $170,966 and $22,708 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and a loss of $148,170 for the
year ended December 31, 1997, attributable to net income and net loss earned by
unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer. The
loss during 1997 was due to the fact that during 1997, the operator of the
Property owned by Titusville Joint Venture vacated the Property and ceased
operations. In conjunction therewith, during 1997, Titusville Joint Venture (in
which the Partnership owns a 73.4% interest) established an allowance for
doubtful accounts of approximately $27,000 for past due rental amounts. The
joint venture wrote off unamortized lease costs of $23,500 in 1997 due to the
tenant vacating the Property. In addition, during 1997, the joint venture
established an allowance for loss on land and building for its Property in
Titusville, Florida, of approximately $147,000. During 1998, the joint venture
wrote off all uncollected balances and ceased collection efforts. In addition,
during 1998, the joint venture increased the allowance for loss on land and
building by approximately $125,300 for financial reporting purposes. The
allowance represented the difference between the Property's carrying value at
December 31, 1998 and the estimated net realizable value at December 31, 1998
for the Property. No such allowance was recorded during 1999. Titusville Joint
Venture is currently seeking either a replacement tenant or purchaser for this
Property. The increase in income earned from joint ventures during 1999 and
1998, was primarily attributable to the fact that the Partnership reinvested a
portion of the net sales proceeds it received from Property sales during 1997,
1998 and 1999, in four Properties with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common and one Property through a joint venture arrangement with an
affiliate of the General Partners in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, one lessee of the Partnership and
its consolidated joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation, contributed more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income (including rental income
from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of
the rental income from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
As of December 31, 1999, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases
relating to five restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum
rental payments required by the leases, this lessee will continue to contribute
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income during 2000. In
addition, during the year ended December 31, 1999, three Restaurant Chains,
Golden Corral, Pizza Hut, and KFC, each accounted for more than ten percent of
the Partnership's total rental income (including rental income from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of the
rental income from Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common).
It is anticipated that Golden Corral, Pizza Hut, and KFC each will continue to
account for more than ten percent of total rental income to which the
Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of Golden
Corral Corporation or any of these Restaurant Chains could materially affect the
Partnership's income, if the Partnership is not able to re-lease these
Properties in a timely manner.
Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense, were
$557,083, $520,871, and $626,431 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. The increase in operating expenses during 1999, as
compared to 1998, was primarily attributable to, and the decrease during 1998,
as compared to 1997, was partially offset by, the fact that the Partnership
incurred $118,655 and $14,227 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, in transaction
costs related to the General Partners retaining financial and legal advisors to
assist them in evaluating and negotiating the proposed Merger with APF, as
described below.
Operating expenses included amounts that the Partnership had recognized in
real estate tax expense of approximately $7,500 and $40,200, respectively,
during 1998 and 1997, and bad debt expense of approximately $32,400 during 1997,
relating to the Denny's and Po Folks Properties in Hagerstown, Maryland. The
Partnership recorded these amounts as expenses during 1998 and 1997, due to the
fact that payment of these amounts by the former
15
<PAGE>
tenant was doubtful. The Partnership sold the Po Folks Property in June 1998 and
sold the Denny's Property in June 1999.
The increase in operating expenses during 1999, as compared to 1998, was
partially offset by, and the decrease during 1998, as compared to 1997, was
partially attributable to, a decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of
several Properties during 1999 and 1998, as described above in "Capital
Resources."
As a result of the Properties sales during 1999, 1998 and 1997, and the
sale of a parcel of land in Plant City, Florida, as described above in "Capital
Resources," the Partnership recognized gains on sale of land and buildings
totalling $293,512, $497,321 and $1,027,590 during the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, during the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership recorded an allowance for loss on land and
building and impairment in carrying value of net investment in direct financing
lease of $25,821 and $32,819, respectively, relating to the Denny's and Po Folks
Properties in Hagerstown, Maryland. The allowance represented the difference
between the carrying value of the Properties at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the estimated net realizable value of each Property at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 1999, are generally triple-net
leases and, in general, contain provisions that the General Partners believe
mitigate the adverse effect of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
requiring the payment of percentage rent based on certain restaurant sales above
a specified level and/or automatic increases in base rent at specified times
during the term of the lease. Management expects that increases in restaurant
sales volumes due to inflation and real sales growth should result in an
increase in rental income (for certain Properties) over time. Continued
inflation also may cause capital appreciation of the Partnership's Properties.
Inflation and changing prices, however, also may have an adverse impact on the
sales of the restaurants and on potential capital appreciation of the
Properties.
Termination of Merger
On March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with APF, pursuant to which the Partnership would be merged with and into
a subsidiary of APF. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, APF was to issue
shares of its common stock as consideration for the Merger. On March 1, 2000,
the General Partners and APF announced that they had mutually agreed to
terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The agreement to terminate the
Agreement and Plan of Merger was based, in large part, on the General Partners'
concern that, in light of market conditions relating to publicly traded real
estate investment trusts, the value of the transaction had diminished. As a
result of such diminishment, the General Partners' ability to unequivocally
recommend voting for the transaction, in the exercise of their fiduciary duties,
had become questionable.
Overview of Year 2000 Problem
The year 2000 problem concerns the inability of information and non-
information technology systems to properly recognize and process date-sensitive
information beyond January 1, 2000. The failure to accurately recognize the
year 2000 could result in a variety of problems from data miscalculations to the
failure of entire systems.
Status
The Partnership generally does not directly own information technology
systems. The General Partners and their affiliates generally provide all
services requiring the use of information and some non-information technology
systems. In early 1998, affiliates of the General Partners formed a year 2000
committee ("the Y2K Team") that assessed the readiness of any systems that are
date sensitive and completed upgrades for the hardware equipment and software
that was not year 2000 compliant, as necessary. The cost for these upgrades and
other remedial measures is the responsibility of the General Partners and their
affiliates. The General Partners and their affiliates do not expect that the
Partnership will incur any costs in connection with the year 2000 remedial
measures. In addition, the Y2K Team requested and received certifications of
compliance from other companies with which the General Partners, their
affiliates, and the Partnership have material third party relationships.
16
<PAGE>
In assessing the risks presented by the year 2000 problem, the Y2K Team
identified potential worst case scenarios involving the future of the
information and non-information technology systems used by the Partnership's
transfer agent, financial institutions and tenants. As of January 14, 2000, the
General Partners and their affiliates have tested the information and non-
information technology systems used by the Partnership and have not experienced
material disruption or other significant problems. In addition, as of the same
date, the General Partners are not aware of any material year 2000 problems
relating to information and non-information technology systems of third parties
with which the Partnership maintains material relationships, including those of
the Partnership's transfer agent, financial institutions and tenants. In
addition, in the Partnership's interactions with its transfer agent, financial
institutions and tenants, the systems of these third parties have functioned
normally. Until the Partnership's first distribution in 2000 and the delivery
of the information by the transfer agent to stockholders in early 2000, the
General Partners will continue to monitor the year 2000 compliance of the
transfer agent. In addition, the General Partners will continue to monitor the
systems used by the Partnership and to maintain contact with third parties with
which the Partnership has material relationships with respect to year 2000
compliance and any year 2000 issues that may arise at a later date. The General
Partners will develop contingency plans relating to ongoing year 2000 issues at
the time that such issues are identified and such plans are deemed necessary.
Based on the information provided to the Y2K Team, the upgrades and
remedial measures by the General Partners and their affiliates, and the normal
functioning to date of information and non-information technology systems used
by the Partnership and those third parties, the General Partners do not foresee
significant risks associated with its year 2000 compliance at this time. In
addition, the General Partners and their affiliates do not expect to incur any
additional costs in connection with the year 2000 remedial efforts. However,
there can be no assurance that the General Partners and their affiliates or any
third parties will not have ongoing year 2000 issues that may have adverse
effects on the Partnership.

1. Significant Accounting Policies:
--------------------------------
Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund III, Ltd. (the
-----------------------------------
"Partnership") is a Florida limited partnership that was organized for the
purpose of acquiring both newly constructed and existing restaurant
properties, as well as properties upon which restaurants were to be
constructed, which are leased primarily to operators of national and
regional fast-food restaurant chains.
The general partners of the Partnership are CNL Realty Corporation (the
"Corporate General Partner"), James M. Seneff, Jr. and Robert A. Bourne.
Mr. Seneff and Mr. Bourne are also 50 percent shareholders of the Corporate
General Partner. The general partners have responsibility for managing the
day-to-day operations of the Partnership.
Real Estate and Lease Accounting - The Partnership records the acquisition
--------------------------------
of land and buildings at cost, including acquisition and closing costs.
Land and buildings are leased to unrelated third parties on a triple-net
basis, whereby the tenant is generally responsible for all operating
expenses relating to the property, including property taxes, insurance,
maintenance and repairs. The leases are accounted for using either the
direct financing or the operating methods. Such methods are described
below:
Direct financing method - The leases accounted for using the direct
financing method are recorded at their net investment (which at the
inception of the lease generally represents the cost of the asset)
(Note 4). Unearned income is deferred and amortized to income over the
lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the
Partnership's net investment in the leases.
Operating method - Land and building leases accounted for using the
operating method are recorded at cost, revenue is recognized as
rentals are earned and depreciation is charged to operations as
incurred. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives of 30 years. When scheduled rentals vary
during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis
so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the lease term
commencing on the date the property is placed in service.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
--------------------------------------------
Accrued rental income represents the aggregate amount of income
recognized on a straight-line basis in excess of scheduled rental
payments to date. Whenever a tenant defaults under the terms of its
lease, or events or changes in circumstance indicate that the tenant
will not lease the property through the end of the lease term, the
Partnership either reserves or reverses the cumulative accrued rental
income balance.
When the properties are sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
for operating leases and the net investment for direct financing leases,
plus any accrued rental income, will be removed from the accounts and gains
or losses from sales will be reflected in income. The general partners of
the Partnership review properties for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable through operations. The general partners determine whether an
impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, including the residual value of the property, with
the carrying cost of the individual property. If an impairment is
indicated, the assets are adjusted to their fair value. Although the
general partners have made their best estimate of these factors based on
current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in
the near term which could adversely affect the general partners' estimate
of net cash flows expected to be generated from its properties and the need
for asset impairment write-downs.
When the collection of amounts recorded as rental or other income is
considered to be doubtful, an adjustment is made to increase the allowance
for doubtful accounts, which is netted against receivables, and to decrease
rental or other income or increase bad debt expense for the current period,
although the Partnership continues to pursue collection of such amounts.
If amounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, the
corresponding receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are decreased
accordingly.
Investment in Joint Ventures - The Partnership accounts for its 69.07%
----------------------------
interest in Tuscawilla Joint Venture using the consolidation method.
Minority interest represents the minority joint venture partners'
proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership's consolidated joint
venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
The Partnership's investments in Titusville Joint Venture, RTO Joint
Venture, and a property in each of Englewood, Colorado, Miami, Florida,
Overland Park, Kansas, and Baytown, Texas held as tenants-in-common with
affiliates of the General Partners, are accounted for using the equity
method since the Partnership shares control with affiliates of the general
partners.

Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
--------------------------------------------
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid
-------------------------
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at
commercial banks and money market funds (some of which are backed by
government securities). Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued
interest, which approximates market value.
Cash accounts maintained on behalf of the Partnership in demand deposits at
commercial banks and money market funds may exceed federally insured
levels; however, the Partnership has not experienced any losses in such
accounts. The Partnership limits investment of temporary cash investments
to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, the
Partnership believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on
cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - Under Section 701 of the Internal Revenue Code, all income,
------------
expenses and tax credit items flow through to the partners for tax
purposes. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is provided in
the accompanying financial statements. The Partnership is subject to
certain state taxes on its income and property.
Additionally, for tax purposes, syndication costs are included in
Partnership equity and in the basis of each partner's investment. For
financial reporting purposes, syndication costs are netted against
partners' capital and represent a reduction of Partnership equity and a
reduction in the basis of each partner's investment.
Use of Estimates - The general partners of the Partnership have made a
----------------
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to
prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The more significant areas requiring the use of
management estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts and
future cash flows associated with long-lived assets. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Reclassification - Certain items in the prior years' financial statements
----------------
have been reclassified to conform to 1999 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on partners' capital or net income.

2. Leases:
-------
The Partnership leases its land and buildings primarily to operators of
national and regional fast-food restaurants. The leases are accounted for
under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases." The leases generally are classified as operating
leases; however, a few of the leases have been classified as direct
financing leases. For the leases classified as direct financing leases,
the building portions of the property leases are accounted for as direct
financing leases while the land portion of these leases are operating
leases. Substantially all leases are for 15 to 20 years and provide for
minimum and contingent rentals. In addition, the tenant generally pays all
property taxes and assessments, fully maintains the interior and exterior
of the building and carries insurance coverage for public liability,
property damage, fire and extended coverage. The lease options generally
allow tenants to renew the leases for two or five successive five-year
periods subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.
Most leases also allow the tenant to purchase the property at fair market
value after a specified portion of the lease has elapsed.

As of January 1, 1997, the Partnership had recorded an allowance for loss
on land and building in the amount of $207,844 for financial reporting
purposes for the Po Folks property in Hagerstown, Maryland. In addition,
during 1997, the Partnership increased the allowance for loss on land and
building by an additional $32,819 for such property. The aggregate
allowance represented the difference between the property's carrying value
at December 31, 1997, and the estimated net realizable value of the
property based on the anticipated sales price relating to this property.
The Partnership sold this property during the year ended December 31, 1998,
as described below.

percent to the general partners; provided, however, that the one percent of
net cash flow to be distributed to the general partners is subordinated to
receipt by the limited partners of an aggregate, ten percent,
noncumulative, noncompounded annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions (the "10% Preferred Return").

6. Allocations and Distributions - Continued:
------------------------------------------
Generally, net sales proceeds from the sale of properties not in
liquidation of the Partnership, to the extent distributed, will be
distributed first to the limited partners in an amount sufficient to
provide them with their cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus the return of
their adjusted capital contributions. The general partners will then
receive, to the extent previously subordinated and unpaid, a one percent
interest in all prior distributions of net cash flow and a return of their
capital contributions. Any remaining sales proceeds will be distributed 95
percent to the limited partners and five percent to the general partners.
Any gain from the sale of a property not in liquidation of the Partnership
is, in general, allocated in the same manner as net sales proceeds are
distributable. Any loss from the sale of a property is, in general,
allocated first, on a pro rata basis, to partners with positive balances in
their capital accounts; and thereafter, 95 percent to the limited partners
and five percent to the general partners.
Generally, net sales proceeds from a liquidating sale of properties, will
be used in the following order: (i) first to pay and discharge all of the
Partnership's liabilities to creditors, (ii) second, to establish reserves
that may be deemed necessary for any anticipated or unforeseen liabilities
or obligations of the Partnership, (iii) third, to pay all of the
Partnership's liabilities, if any, to the general and limited partners,
(iv) fourth, after allocations of net income, gains and/or losses, to
distribute to the partners with positive capital accounts balances, in
proportion to such balances, up to amounts sufficient to reduce such
positive balances to zero, and (v) thereafter, any funds remaining shall
then be distributed 95 percent to the limited partners and five percent to
the general partners.
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 the Partnership
declared distributions to the limited partners of $2,000,000, $3,477,747
and $2,376,000, respectively. Distributions for the year ended December
31, 1998, included $1,477,747 as a result of distributions of net sales
proceeds from the sale of the properties in Fernandina Beach and Daytona
Beach, Florida. This amount was applied toward the limited partners'
cumulative 10% Preferred Return. No distributions have been made to the
general partners to date.

Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
8. Related Party Transactions:
---------------------------
One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of the
principal shareholders of CNL Holdings, Inc. The other individual general
partner, Robert A. Bourne, serves as President and Treasurer of CNL
Financial Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Holdings, Inc., CNL
Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") was a majority owned subsidiary of CNL
Financial Group, Inc. until it merged with CNL American Properties Fund,
Inc. ("APF"), effective September 1, 1999. The individual general partners
are stockholders and directors of APF.
The Advisor provides certain services relating to management of the
Partnership and its properties pursuant to a management agreement with the
Partnership. In connection therewith, the Partnership has agreed to pay the
Advisor an annual, noncumulative, subordinated management fee of one-half
of one percent of the Partnership assets under management (valued at cost)
annually. The property management fee is limited to one percent of the sum
of gross operating revenues from joint ventures or competitive fees for
comparable services. In addition, these fees are incurred and payable only
after the limited partners receive their aggregate, noncumulative 10%
Preferred Return. Due to the fact that these fees are noncumulative, if the
limited partners do not receive their 10% Preferred Return in any
particular year, no property management fees will be due or payable for
such year. As a result of such threshold, no property management fees were
incurred during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.
The Advisor is also entitled to receive a deferred, subordinated real
estate disposition fee, payable upon the sale of one or more properties,
based on the lesser of one-half of a competitive real estate commission or
three percent of the sales price if the Advisor provides a substantial
amount of services in connection with the sales. However, if the net sales
proceeds are reinvested in a replacement property, no such real estate
disposition fees will be incurred until such replacement property is sold
and the net sales proceeds are distributed. The payment of the real estate
disposition fee is subordinated to the receipt by the limited partners of
their aggregate, cumulative 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted
capital contributions. During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
the Partnership incurred $53,400 and $15,150, respectively, in deferred,
subordinated real estate disposition fees as a result of the Partnership's
sale of the properties in Daytona Beach and Fernandina Beach, Florida, and
the Property in Chicago, Illinois, respectively. No deferred, subordinated
real estate disposition fees were incurred for the year ended December 31,
1999.

restaurant concepts, default by any one of these lessees or restaurant
chains could significantly impact the results of operations of the
Partnership if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the properties in a
timely manner.
10. Termination of Merger:
---------------------
On March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with APF, pursuant to which the Partnership would be merged with and
into a subsidiary of APF. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, APF was
to issue shares of its common stock as consideration for the Merger. On
March 1, 2000, the General Partners and APF announced that they had
mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The
agreement to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger was based, in large
part, on the General Partners' concern that, in light of market conditions
relating to publicly traded real estate investment trusts, the value of the
transaction had diminished. As a result of such diminishment, the General
Partners' ability to unequivocally recommend voting for the transaction, in
the exercise of their fiduciary duties, had become questionable.

(b) Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements based upon
estimated lives of 30 years.
(c) As of December 31, 1999, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by the
Partnership, its consolidated joint venture and the unconsolidated joint
venture for federal income tax purposes was $14,698,872 and $9,419,158,
respectively. All of the leases are treated as operating leases for
federal income tax purposes.
(d) For financial reporting purposes, the portion of the lease relating to the
building has been recorded as a direct financing lease. The cost of the
building has been included in the net investment in direct financing lease;
therefore, depreciation is not applicable.
(e) For financial reporting purposes, certain components of the lease relating
to land and building have been recorded as a direct financing lease.
Accordingly, costs relating to these components of this lease are not

Property to a local independent restaurant. Golden Corral Corporation
continues to be responsible for complying with all the terms of the lease
agreement and is continuing to pay rent on this Property to the
Partnership.
(g) For financial reporting purposes, the undepreciated cost of the Property in
Titusville, Florida, was written down to net realizable value due to an
impairment in value. The Partnership recognized the impairment by
recording an allowance for loss on land and building in the amount of
approximately $272,300 as of December 31, 1998. The cumulative allowance
at December 31, 1999, represents the difference between the Property's
carrying value and the current estimate of the net realizable value of the
Property. The cost of the Property presented on this schedule is the gross
amount at which the Property was carried at December 31, 1999, excluding
the allowance for loss on land and building.
