                                     PART I


Item 1.  Business

         CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on August 17, 1988. 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 June 8, 1989, the Partnership
offered for sale up to $35,000,000 in limited partnership interests (the
"Units") (70,000 Units at $500 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement on
Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective December 16,
1988. The offering terminated on January 22, 1990, at which date the maximum
offering proceeds of $35,000,000 had been received from investors who were
admitted to the Partnership as limited partners (the "Limited Partners").

         The Partnership was organized 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 and family-style
restaurant chains (the "Restaurant Chains"). Net proceeds to the Partnership
from its offering of Units, after deduction of organizational and offering
expenses, totalled $30,975,000, and were used to acquire 42 Properties,
including interests in four Properties owned by joint ventures in which the
Partnership is a co-venturer. During the year ended December 31, 1994, the
Partnership sold its Properties in Batesville and Heber Springs, Arkansas, to
the tenant and reinvested the net sales proceeds in a Jack in the Box Property
in Dallas, Texas, and a Jack in the Box Property in Yuma, Arizona, which is
owned as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partners. In
addition, during the year ended December 31,1995, the Partnership sold its
Property in Little Canada, Minnesota, and reinvested the majority of the net
sales proceeds in a Denny's Property in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. During the year
ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds from the sale of the Property in Little Canada, Minnesota, in a
Property located in Clinton, North Carolina, with affiliates of the General
Partners as tenants-in-common. Also, during the year ended December 31, 1996,
the Partnership sold its Property in Dallas, Texas. As a result of the above
transactions, as of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned 42 Properties,
including interests in four Properties owned by joint ventures in which the
Partnership is a co-venturer and two Properties owned with affiliates as
tenants-in-common. During February 1997, the Partnership reinvested the net
sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Dallas, Texas, in a Bertucci's
Property located in Marietta, Georgia. Generally, the Properties are leased on a
triple-net basis with the lessee 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 also 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. In general, the General Partners plan to seek the sale of some of
the Properties commencing seven to 12 years after their acquisition. 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.

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
the joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer provide for initial
terms, ranging from five to 20 years (the average being 18 years), and expire
between 1998 and 2015. All leases are on a triple-net basis, with the lessee
responsible for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and
utilities. The leases of the Properties provide for minimum base annual rental
payments (payable in monthly installments) ranging from approximately $37,900 to
$185,700. Generally, the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in
excess of a specified amount. In addition, some of the leases provide that,
commencing in the fourth to sixth lease year, the percentage

                                       1

<PAGE>



rent will be an amount equal to the greater of the percentage rent calculated
under the lease formula or a specified percentage (ranging from one to five
percent) of the purchase price or gross sales.

         Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two, three or four
five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the
initial lease. Certain lessees also have been granted options to purchase
Properties at the Property's then fair market value, or pursuant to a formula
based on the original purchase price of the Property, after a specified portion
of the lease term has elapsed.

         The leases also generally provide that, in the event the Partnership
wishes to sell the Property subject to that lease, the Partnership first must
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.

         During 1991, a restaurant on one of the Partnership's Properties,
Captain D's in Chester, Pennsylvania, ceased operations. In September 1992, the
tenant and a franchisee of a regional Restaurant Chain entered into a sublease
agreement for this Property and operations of the restaurant resumed. During
1994, the franchisee ceased operations of the Property in Chester, Pennsylvania.
The original tenant of the Property will continue to be responsible for
complying with the lease terms. The Partnership agreed to accept reduced rent
for this Property and the Property leased by the same tenant in Orlando,
Florida. The difference between the rent due on these Properties under the lease
agreements and the rent collected for the period December 1, 1992 to March 31,
1996, was deferred. During 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with
the tenant to collect these deferred amounts in annual installments through
2002. In conjunction therewith, the tenant began paying full rent in accordance
with the terms of the original lease agreement.

         The term of the lease relating to the Property in Liverpool, New York,
was terminated in December 1996. The Partnership is currently seeking a
replacement tenant or purchaser for this Property.

Major Tenants

         During 1996, three lessees of the Partnership and its consolidated
joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation, Restaurant Management Services, Inc.
and Mid-America Corporation, each contributed more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental income (including rental income from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture in which the Partnership is a
co-venturer and the Partnership's share of the rental income from the three
Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and two Properties owned with
affiliates as tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 1996, Golden Corral
Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to five restaurants, Restaurant
Management Services, Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to eight
restaurants and Mid-America Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to
four restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments
required by the leases, these three lessees each will continue to contribute
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income in 1997 and
subsequent years. In addition, three Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral Family
Steakhouse Restaurants, Hardee's and Burger King, each accounted for more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income in 1996 (including the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of the
rental income from the three Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures
in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and two Properties owned with
affiliates as tenants-in-common). In subsequent years, it is anticipated that
these three Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than ten
percent of the Partnership's total rental income to which the Partnership is
entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these lessees or
Restaurant Chains could materially affect the Partnership's income. No single
tenant or group of affiliated tenants lease Properties with an aggregate
carrying value, excluding acquisition fees and certain acquisition expenses, in
excess of 20 percent of the total assets of the Partnership.

Joint Venture Arrangements

         The Partnership has entered into a joint venture arrangement, Caro
Joint Venture, with an unaffiliated entity to purchase and hold one Property. In
addition, the Partnership has entered into three separate joint venture
arrangements, Auburn Joint Venture, Show Low Joint Venture and Asheville Joint
Venture, with affiliates of the General Partners, to purchase and hold three
Properties through such joint ventures. The joint venture arrangements provide
for the Partnership and its joint venture partners to share in all costs and
benefits associated with the joint

                                       2

<PAGE>



venture in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the joint
venture. The Partnership and its joint venture partners are jointly and
severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint
venture.

         Each joint venture has an initial term of 20 years and, after the
expiration of the initial term, continues in existence from year to year unless
terminated at the option of either joint venturer 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 Caro Joint Venture and shares
management control equally with affiliates of the General Partners for Auburn
Joint Venture, Show Low Joint Venture and Asheville 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 partner, either upon such terms and conditions as to which the venturers
may agree or, in the event the venturers 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 Auburn Joint Venture, Show Low Joint
Venture, Caro Joint Venture and Asheville Joint Venture is distributed 3.9%,
36.0%, 66.0% and 14.0%, respectively, to the Partnership and the balance is
distributed to each of the other joint venture partners 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 agreements, the Partnership
entered into an agreement to hold a Jack in the Box Property as
tenants-in-common with an 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-venturer's percentage interest.
The Partnership owns a 51.67% interest in this Property.

         In addition, in January 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement
to hold a Golden Corral Property as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the
General Partners. The agreement provides for the Partnership and the affiliates
to share in the profits and losses of the Property in proportion to each
co-venturer's percentage interest. The Partnership owns a 17.93% interest in
this Property.

Certain Management Services

         CNL Investment Company, an affiliate of the General Partners, provided
certain services relating to management of the Partnership and its Properties
pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership through December 31,
1994. Under this agreement, CNL Investment Company was 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 Investment Company also assisted the General Partners in
negotiating the leases. For these services, the Partnership had agreed to pay
CNL Investment Company an annual fee of one percent of the sum of gross rental
revenues from Properties wholly owned by the Partnership plus the Partnership's
allocable share of gross revenues of joint ventures in which the Partnership is
a co-venturer and the Property held as tenants-in-common with an affiliate, but
not in excess of competitive fees for comparable services. Under the management
agreement, the management fee is subordinated to receipt by the Limited Partners
of an aggregate, ten percent, cumulative, 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").

         Effective January 1, 1995, certain officers and employees of CNL
Investment Company became officers and employees of CNL Income Fund Advisors,
Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, and CNL Investment Company assigned
its rights in, and its obligations under, the management agreement with the
Partnership to CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. In addition, effective October 1,
1995, CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. assigned its rights in, and its obligations
under, the management agreement with the Partnership to CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.
All of the terms and conditions of the management agreement, including the
payment of fees, as described above, remain unchanged.

                                       3

<PAGE>




         The 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.

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.

         At the time the Partnership elects to dispose of its Properties, other
than as a result of the exercise of tenant options to purchase Properties, the
Partnership will be in competition with other persons and entities to locate
purchasers for its Properties.

Employees

         The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty
Corporation and the officers and employees 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 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, 1996, the Partnership owned, either directly or
through joint venture arrangements, 42 Properties located in 16 states.
Reference is made to the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation
filed with this report 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 10,000
to 88,200 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
1,200 to 10,700 square feet. 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.

         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.

         Leases with Major Tenants. The terms of each of the leases with the
Partnership's major tenants as of December 31, 1996 (see Item 1. Business -
Major Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1.
Business - Leases.

         Restaurant Management Services leases five Popeyes restaurants, one
Shoney's restaurant, one Church's Fried Chicken restaurant and one other
restaurant (formerly operated as a Captain D's). The initial term of each lease
is 20 years (expiring between 2009 and 2010) and the average minimum base annual
rent is approximately $61,600 (ranging from approximately $46,000 to $121,300).

                                       4

<PAGE>




         Golden Corral Corporation leases four Golden Corral restaurants. The
initial term of each lease is 15 years (expiring between 2004 and 2011) and the
average minimum base annual rent is approximately $152,900 (ranging from
approximately $88,000 to $185,700).

         Mid-America Corporation leases four Burger King restaurants. The
initial term of each lease is between 14 and 16 years (expiring between 2004 and
2006) and the average minimum base annual rent is approximately $102,200
(ranging from approximately $100,000 to $103,000).

         The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and
sufficient for the Partnership's operations.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         Neither the Partnership, nor its General Partners or any affiliate of
the General Partners, nor any of their respective properties, is a party to, or
subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         Not applicable.



                                    PART II


Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         As of February 28, 1997, there were 2,997 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. Limited Partners
who wish to sell their Units may offer the Units for sale pursuant to the
Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"), and Limited Partners
who wish to have their distributions used to acquire additional Units (to the
extent Units are available for purchase), may do so pursuant to such Plan. The
General Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of Units. The price paid
for any Unit transferred pursuant to the Plan has been $475 per Unit. The price
to be paid for any Unit transferred other than pursuant to the Plan is 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 1996 and 1995 other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions (which ranged from zero to 15.5
percent).

         For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $3,220,000 and $3,150,000, respectively, to the
Limited Partners. For the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership
declared a special distribution to the Limited Partners of $70,000, which
represented cumulative excess operating reserves. No amounts distributed to
partners for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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
distributions on this basis.

although some Limited Partners, in accordance with their election, receive
monthly distributions, for an annual fee.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

         The Partnership was organized on August 17, 1988, 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 and family-style Restaurant Chains. The
leases are triple-net leases, with the lessee generally responsible for all
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of December
31, 1996, the Partnership owned 42 Properties, either directly or indirectly
through joint venture arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership's primary source of capital for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, was cash from operations (which includes cash
received from tenants, distributions from joint ventures and interest received,
less cash paid for expenses). Cash from operations was $3,310,762, $3,222,430
and $3,253,674 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in cash from operations during 1996, as compared to
1995, and the decrease during 1995, as compared to 1994, are primarily a result
of changes in income and expenses as discussed 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

         In May 1994, the Partnership sold its Properties in Batesville and
Heber Springs, Arkansas, for a total of $1,432,178 and received net sales
proceeds of $1,429,481, resulting in a gain for financial reporting purposes of
$332,664. These Properties were originally acquired by the Partnership in
November 1989 and February 1990 and had a combined, total cost of approximately
$1,148,100, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses;
therefore, the Partnership sold the Properties for approximately $281,400 in
excess of their original purchase prices. The sale of these Properties was
structured to qualify as like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no gain or loss was
recognized for federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Partnership was not
required to distribute any of the net sales proceeds from the sale of these two
Properties to the Limited Partners for the purposes of paying federal and state
income taxes. In June 1994, the Partnership reinvested $846,596 of the net sales
proceeds in a Jack in the Box Property in Dallas, Texas, that was under
construction. Construction was completed in September 1994, and the Partnership
funded additional construction costs of $134,308. In July 1994, the Partnership
reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds in a Jack in the Box Property in
Yuma, Arizona, as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partners.

         In June 1995, the Partnership sold its Property in Little Canada,
Minnesota, for $904,000 and received net sales proceeds of $899,503, resulting
in a gain of $103,283 for financial reporting purposes. This Property was
originally acquired by the Partnership in October 1989 and had a cost of
approximately $823,900, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $75,600
in excess of its original purchase price. In August 1995, the Partnership
reinvested $724,612 in a Property in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. In addition, in
August 1995, the Partnership sold a small parcel of vacant land adjacent to its
Property in Orlando, Florida, for $7,500, resulting in a loss of $7,370 for
financial reporting purposes. In connection therewith, the Partnership accepted
a promissory note for $6,000. The promissory note was collateralized by a
mortgage on the Property, bore interest at a rate of nine percent per annum and
was scheduled to be collected in six monthly installments of $1,026, with
collections commencing September 1995. Receivables include $3,056 from the note
at December 31, 1995. The receivable was collected in full during 1996.

         In January 1996, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds from the 1995 sale of the Property in Little Canada, Minnesota, in a
Golden Corral Property located in Clinton, North Carolina, with affiliates of
the General Partners as tenants-in-common. In connection therewith, the
Partnership and its affiliates entered into an agreement whereby each
co-venturer will share in the profits and losses of the Property in proportion
to its applicable percentage interest. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership
owned a 17.93% interest in this property.


                                       7

         In March 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the
tenant of the Properties in Chester, Pennsylvania, and Orlando, Florida, for
payment of certain rental payment deferrals the Partnership had granted to the
tenant through March 31, 1996. Under the agreement, the Partnership agreed to
abate approximately $42,700 of the rental payment deferral amounts. The tenant
made the first payment of approximately $18,600 in April 1996 in accordance with
the terms of the agreement, and has agreed to pay the Partnership the remaining
balance due of approximately $109,500 in six remaining annual installments
through 2002.

         In December 1996, the Partnership sold its Property in Dallas, Texas,
to an unrelated third party for $1,016,000 and received net sales proceeds of
$982,980. This Property was originally acquired by the Partnership in June 1994
and had a cost of approximately $980,900, excluding acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the Property
for approximately $2,100 in excess of its original purchase price. Due to the
fact that the Partnership had recognized accrued rental income since the
inception of the lease relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent
increases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Partnership wrote-off the cumulative balance of such accrued rental income at
the time of the sale of this Property, resulting in a loss on land and building
of $1,706 for financial reporting purposes. Due to the fact that the
straight-lining of future rent increases over the term of the lease is a
non-cash accounting adjustment, the write-off of these amounts is a loss for
financial statement purposes only. As of December 31, 1996, the net sales
proceeds of $977,017, plus accrued interest of $739, were being held in an
interest bearing escrow account pending the release of funds by the escrow agent
to acquire an additional Property. The sale of this Property was structured to
qualify as a like-kind exchange transaction in accordance with Section 1031 of
the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no gain was recognized for federal
income tax purposes. Therefore, the Partnership was not required to distribute
any of the net sales proceeds from the sale of this Property to Limited Partners
for the purposes of paying federal and state income taxes. In February 1997, the
Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds, along with additional funds, in a
Bertucci's Property located in Marietta, Georgia.

         None of the Properties owned by the Partnership or the joint ventures
in which the Partnership owns an interest is or may be encumbered. Under its
Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is prohibited from borrowing for any
purpose; provided, however, that the General Partners or their affiliates are
entitled to reimbursement, at cost, for actual expenses incurred by the General
Partners or their affiliates on behalf 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 pending
the Partnership's use of such funds to pay Partnership expenses or to make
distributions to the partners. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had
$1,127,930 invested in such short-term investments as compared to $1,120,999 at
December 31, 1995. The funds remaining at December 31, 1996, after payment of
distributions and other liabilities, will be used to invest in an additional
Property as discussed above and to meet the Partnership's working capital and
other needs.

         During 1996, 1995 and 1994, affiliates of the General Partners,
incurred on behalf of the Partnership $96,112, $95,898 and $87,733,
respectively, for certain operating expenses. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
the Partnership owed $2,633 and $6,024, respectively, to affiliates for such
amounts and accounting and administrative services. As of February 28, 1997, the
Partnership had reimbursed the affiliates all such amounts. Other liabilities of
the Partnership, including distributions payable, increased to $917,704 at
December 31, 1996, from $822,187 at December 31, 1995. The increase in other
liabilities is primarily attributable to the Partnership accruing a special
distribution payable to the Limited Partners of $70,000 at December 31, 1996,
from excess operating reserves. The General Partners believe that the
Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital
needs.

         Based on cash from operations, and cumulative excess operating reserves
for the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership declared distributions to
the Limited Partners of $3,220,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
$3,150,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. This
represents distributions of $46 per Unit for the year ended December 31, 1996,
and $45 per Unit for each of the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. No
amounts distributed or to be distributed to the Limited Partners for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 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

                                       8

<PAGE>



intends to continue to make distributions of cash available for distribution to
the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis.

         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.

         The Partnership's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and 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 of the Partnership's Properties are 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.

Results of Operations

         During 1994, the Partnership owned and leased 39 wholly owned
Properties (including two Properties in Batesville and Heber Springs, Arkansas,
which were sold in May 1994), during 1995, the Partnership owned and leased 38
wholly owned Properties (including one Property in Little Canada, Minnesota,
which was sold in June 1995), and during 1996, the Partnership owned and leased
37 wholly owned properties (including one Property in Dallas, Texas, which was
sold in December 1996). In addition, during 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
was a co-venturer in four separate joint ventures that each owned and leased one
Property, and during 1995 and 1994, the Partnership owned and leased one
Property with an affiliate as tenants-in-common. During 1996, the Partnership
also owned and leased another Property with affiliates as tenants-in-common. As
of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned, either directly, as
tenants-in-common with affiliates, or through joint venture arrangements, 42
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 $37,900 to $185,700.
Generally, the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a
specified amount. In addition, some of the leases provide that, commencing in
the fourth to sixth lease year, the percentage rent will be an amount equal to
the greater of the percentage rent calculated under the lease formula or a
specified percentage (ranging from one to five percent) of the purchase price or
gross sales. 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, Caro Joint Venture, earned
$3,333,665, $3,207,860 and $3,235,244, respectively, in rental income from
operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases. Rental and
earned income increased approximately $43,700 and $33,400 for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, due to the acquisition of a Property
located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, in August 1995 with the net sales proceeds
from the sale of the Property in Little Canada, Minnesota, in June 1995. The
increase in rental income was partially offset by a decrease of approximately
$6,800 and $83,600, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, due to the sale of the Property in Little Canada, Minnesota, in June 1995.

         Rental and earned income also increased during the year ended December
31, 1996, as a result of the fact that the Partnership collected and recorded as
income approximately $5,300 in rental payment deferrals for the two Properties
leased by the same tenant in Chester, Pennsylvania, and Orlando, Florida.
Previously, the Partnership had established an allowance for doubtful accounts
for these amounts. These amounts were collected in accordance with the agreement
entered into in March 1996, with the tenant to collect the remaining balance of
the rental payment deferral amounts as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources." If such amounts are collected, the

                                       9

<PAGE>



Partnership will reverse the remaining related allowance for doubtful accounts
and record such amounts as income. The increase in rental and earned income
during 1996, as compared to 1995, was partially attributable to, and the
decrease in 1995, as compared to 1994, was partially offset by, the fact that
during the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the Partnership established an
allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $52,900 and $82,400,
respectively, for rental payment deferral amounts relating to these Properties
deemed uncollectible. No such allowance was established during the year ended
December 31, 1996.

         Rental and earned income also decreased in 1995, as compared to 1994,
by approximately $51,700 as a result of the fact that the tenant of the Property
in Hermitage, Tennessee, elected to exercise its option to terminate its lease
with the Partnership effective August 31, 1994, and the fact that the
Partnership had established an allowance for doubtful accounts for rent
receivable amounts relating to this Property. The increase in rental income
during 1996, as compared to 1995, was partially attributable to, and the
decrease in 1995, as compared to 1994, was partially offset by, an increase of
approximately $35,300 and $48,500 during 1996 and 1995, respectively, due to the
fact that in April 1995, the Partnership entered into a new lease for this
Property, for which rent commenced in June 1995.

         In addition, rental and earned income decreased by approximately
$56,200 during 1995, as compared to 1994, as a result of the sale of the
Properties in Batesville and Heber Springs, Arkansas, in May 1994. However, the
decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately $51,800 during
1995, as compared to 1994, due to the reinvestment of a portion of the net sales
proceeds in a Property in Dallas, Texas, in June 1994. This Property was
subsequently sold in December 1996, as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources," causing a $6,800 decrease in rental and earned income during 1996,
as compared to 1995.

         For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
also earned $110,073, $115,946 and $150,372, respectively, in contingent rental
income. The decrease in contingent rental income during 1996 and 1995, each as
compared to the prior year, is primarily attributable to decreases in gross
sales relating to certain Properties.

         In addition, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership earned $97,381, $83,483 and $70,499, respectively, attributable to
net income earned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer.
The increase in net income earned by these joint ventures during 1996, as
compared to 1995, is primarily attributable to the fact that in January 1996,
the Partnership acquired an interest in a Golden Corral Property in Clinton,
North Carolina, with affiliates as tenants-in-common, as described above in
"Liquidity and Capital Resources." The increase in 1995, as compared to 1994, is
primarily attributable to the acquisition in July 1994, of a Property in Yuma,
Arizona, with an affiliate as tenants-in-common.

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, three of the
Partnership's lessees, Golden Corral Corporation, Restaurant Management
Services, Inc. and Mid-America Corporation, each 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 the three Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures
in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and two Properties owned with
affiliates as tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 1996, Golden Corral
Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to five restaurants, Restaurant
Management Services, Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to eight
restaurants and Mid-America Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to
four restaurants. It is anticipated that, based on the minimum annual rental
payments required by the leases, these three lessees each will continue to
contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income during
1997 and subsequent years. In addition, three Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral
Family Steakhouse Restaurants, Hardee's and Burger King, each accounted for more
than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income in 1996, 1995 and 1994
(including the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's
share of the rental income from the three Properties owned by unconsolidated
joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and two Properties
owned with affiliates as tenants-in-common). In subsequent years, it is
anticipated that these three Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income to which the
Partnership is entitled under the terms of the leases. Any failure of these
lessees or Restaurant Chains could materially affect the Partnership's income.

         Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $683,163, $672,818 and $706,533 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The increase in operating expenses

                                       10

<PAGE>



during 1996, as compared to 1995, was partially a result of, and the decrease
during 1995, as compared to 1994, was partially offset by, an increase in
accounting and administrative expenses associated with operating the Partnership
and its Properties and an increase in insurance expense as a result of the
General Partners' obtaining contingent liability and property coverage for the
Partnership as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         The decrease in operating expenses in 1995, as compared to 1994, is
partially attributable to the Partnership's establishing an allowance for
doubtful accounts of approximately $43,400 for amounts previously recorded as
income relating to the Properties in Chester, Pennsylvania, and Little Canada,
Minnesota, during the year ended December 31, 1994. In addition, operating
expenses decreased during 1995, as compared to 1994, due to the fact that the
tenant of the Property in Hermitage, Tennessee, elected to exercise its option
to terminate its lease with the Partnership, effective August 31, 1994. In
connection therewith, the Partnership expensed approximately $9,600 in
unamortized lease costs relating to this lease and incurred certain expenses
relating to this Property, such as real estate taxes, during the year ended
December 31, 1994. In April 1995, the Partnership entered into a new lease for
this Property.

         Depreciation expense decreased during 1996 and 1995, each as compared
to the prior year, as a result of the sale of the Properties in Dallas, Texas,
in December 1996, and Little Canada, Minnesota, in June 1995.

         As a result of the sale of the Property in Dallas, Texas, in December
1996, the Partnership recognized a loss for financial reporting purposes of
$1,706, for the year ended December 31, 1996, as discussed above in "Liquidity
and Capital Resources." In addition, as a result of the sale of the Property in
Little Canada, Minnesota, the Partnership recognized a gain of $103,283, and as
a result of the sale during 1995, of a portion of the land of the Property in
Orlando, Florida, the Partnership recognized a loss of $7,370, for the year
ended December 31, 1995, as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources." In addition, as a result of the sale of the Properties in Batesville
and Heber Springs, Arkansas, during 1994, the Partnership recognized a gain of
$332,664 for the year ended December 31, 1994, as discussed above in "Liquidity
and Capital Resources."

         In addition, during 1996, the Partnership established an allowance for
loss on land and building for its Property in Liverpool, New York. The allowance
of $77,023, represents the difference between the Property's carrying value at
December 31, 1996, and the sales value of the Property based on an anticipated
sales price of this Property to an interested and unrelated third party.

         Effective January 1, 1996 the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The statement,
requires that an entity review long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. Adoption of this standard currently had no material effect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 1996, are triple-net leases
and 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
over time. Continued inflation also may cause capital appreciation of the
Partnership's Properties. Inflation and changing prices, however, also may have

To the Partners
CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd.


We have audited the financial statements and the financial statement schedules
of CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd. (a Florida limited partnership) listed in Item 14(a)
of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial statement schedules
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

                        (A Florida Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


1.       Significant Accounting Policies:

         Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund VI, 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 and family-style 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 method. 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
                  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.

         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, are removed from the
         accounts and gains or losses from sales are reflected in income. The
         general partners of the Partnership review the 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. 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' best estimate of net
         cash flows expected to be generated from its properties and the need
         for asset impairment write-downs. If an impairment is indicated, a loss
         will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the
         asset exceeds its fair market value.

         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 accrued rental income, 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 66
         percent interest in Caro Joint Venture, a Florida general partnership,
         using the consolidation method. Minority interest represents the
         minority joint venture partner's proportionate share of equity in the
         Partnership's consolidated joint venture. All significant intercompany
         accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         The Partnership's investments in Auburn Joint Venture, Show Low Joint
         Venture, Asheville Joint Venture,a property in Yuma, Arizona, held as
         tenants-in-common with an affiliate, and a property in Clinton, North
         Carolina, held as tenants-in-common with an affiliate, are accounted
         for using the equity method since the Partnership shares control with
         affiliates which have the same general partners.

         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.

         Lease Costs - Brokerage fees and lease incentive costs incurred in
         finding new tenants and negotiating new leases for the Partnership's
         properties are amortized over the terms of the new leases using the
         straight-line method.

         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.

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         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 1996 presentation.
         These reclassifications had no effect on partners' capital or net
         income.

         New Accounting Standard - Effective January 1, 1996 the Partnership
         adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
         "Accounting for the Impairment of LongLived Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to Be Disposed Of." The statement requires that an entity review
         long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, to be held and
         used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
         indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
         Adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Partnership's
         financial position or results of operations.

2.       Leases:

         The Partnership leases its land and buildings primarily to operators of
         national and regional fast-food and family-style 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, nine 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
         portions of four 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 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 to four

         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.

         Land and buildings on operating leases consisted of the following at
         December 31:

                                         -----------            ----------

                                         $21,105,355            $22,610,686
                                         ===========            ===========

         In May 1994, the Partnership sold its properties in Batesville and
         Heber Springs, Arkansas, for a total of $1,432,178 and received net
         sales proceeds of $1,429,481, resulting in a gain of $332,664 for
         financial reporting purposes. These properties were originally acquired
         by the Partnership in November 1989 and February 1990 and had combined,
         total cost of approximately $1,148,100, excluding acquisition fees and
         miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the
         properties for approximately $281,400 in excess of their original
         purchase price. The Partnership reinvested $980,904 of the net sales
         proceeds in a property in Dallas, Texas.

         In addition, in June 1995, the Partnership sold its property in Little
         Canada, Minnesota, for $904,000 and received net sales proceeds of
         $899,503, resulting in a gain of $103,283 for financial reporting
         purposes. This property was originally acquired by the Partnership in
         October 1989 and had a cost of approximately $823,900, excluding
         acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the
         Partnership sold the property for approximately $75,600 in excess of
         its original purchase price. In August 1995, the Partnership reinvested
         $724,612 of the net sales proceeds in

3.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases - Continued:

         a property in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Also, in August 1995, the
         Partnership sold a small parcel of vacant land adjacent to its property
         in Orlando, Florida, for $7,500, resulting in a loss of $7,370 for
         financial reporting purposes. In connection therewith, the Partnership
         accepted a promissory note for $6,000 (see Note 6).

         In December 1996, the Partnership sold its property in Dallas, Texas,
         to an unrelated third party for $1,016,000 and received net sales
         proceeds of $982,980. This property was originally acquired by the
         Partnership in June 1994 and had a cost of approximately $980,900,
         excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses;
         therefore, the Partnership sold the property for approximately $2,100
         in excess of its original purchase price. Due to the fact that the
         Partnership had recognized accrued rental income since the inception of
         the lease relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent
         increases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
         the Partnership wrote-off the cumulative balance of such accrued rental
         income at the time of the sale of this property, resulting in a loss on
         land and building of $1,706 for financial reporting purposes. Due to
         the fact that the straight-lining of future rent increases over the
         term of the lease is a non-cash accounting adjustment, the write-off of
         these amounts is a loss for financial statement purposes only.

         At December 31, 1996, the Partnership established an allowance for loss
         on land and building in the amount of $77,023 for financial reporting
         purposes for the property in Liverpool, New York. The allowance
         represents the difference between (i) the property's carrying value at
         December 31, 1996, and (ii) the general partners' estimate of the net
         realizable value of the property based on an anticipated sales price of
         this property to an interested and unrelated third party.

         Some leases provide for escalating guaranteed minimum rents throughout
         the lease terms. Income from these scheduled rent increases is
         recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. For
         the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
         recognized $103,935, $131,428 and $169,433, respectively, of such
         rental income.

         The following is a schedule of the future minimum lease payments to be
         received on noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 1996:

         Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the
         tenant, the above table only presents future minimum lease payments due
         during the initial lease terms. In addition, this table does not
         include any amounts for future contingent rentals which may be received
         on the leases based on a percentage of the tenant's gross sales.

         The above table does not include future minimum lease payments for
         renewal periods or for contingent rental payments that may become due
         in future periods (See Note 3).

5.       Investment in Joint Ventures:

         The Partnership has a 3.9%, a 36 percent and a 14 percent interest in
         the profits and losses of Auburn Joint Venture, Show Low Joint Venture
         and Asheville Joint Venture, respectively. The remaining interests in
         these joint ventures are held by affiliates of the Partnership which
         have the same general partners. The Partnership also has a 51.67%
         interest in a property in Yuma, Arizona with an affiliate of the
         Partnership that has the same general partners, as tenants-in-common.
         The Partnership accounts for its investment in this property using the
         equity method since the Partnership shares control with an affiliate.
         Amounts relating to its investment are included in investment in joint
         ventures.

         In January 1996, the Partnership acquired a property in Clinton, North
         Carolina, as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the general partners.
         In connection therewith, the Partnership contributed $146,090 for a
         17.93% interest in such property. The Partnership accounts for its
         investment in this property using the equity method since the
         Partnership shares control with affiliates, and amounts relating to its
         investment are included in investment in joint ventures.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


7.       Allocations and Distributions:

         Generally, all net income and net losses of the Partnership, excluding
         gains and losses from the sale of properties, are allocated 99 percent
         to the limited partners and one percent to the general partners.
         Distributions of net cash flow are made 99 percent to the limited
         partners and one 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, cumulative, noncompounded annual return on
         their adjusted capital contributions (the "10% Preferred Return").

         Generally, net sales proceeds from the sale of properties, to the
         extent distributed, will be distributed first to the limited partners
         in an amount sufficient to provide them with their 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 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.

         During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership declared
         distributions to the limited partners of $3,220,000 and during each of
         the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership declared
         distributions to the limited partners of $3,150,000. No distributions
         have been made to the general partners to date.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


9.       Related Party Transactions:

         One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of
         the principal shareholders of CNL Group, Inc., the parent company of
         CNL Investment Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. The other individual
         general partner, Robert A. Bourne, is the president of CNL Investment
         Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. was
         a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Group, Inc. until its merger,
         effective January 1, 1996, with CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. During the
         years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, CNL Investment Company,
         CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (hereinafter
         referred to collectively as the "Affiliates") each performed certain
         services for the Partnership, as described below.

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, certain
         Affiliates acted as manager of the Partnership's properties pursuant to
         a management agreement with the Partnership. In connection therewith,
         the Partnership agreed to pay the Affiliates a management fee of one
         percent of the sum of gross revenues from properties wholly owned by
         the Partnership and the Partnership's allocable share of gross revenues
         from joint ventures and the property held as tenants-in-common with an
         affiliate, but not in excess of competitive fees for comparable
         services. These fees are payable only after the limited partners
         receive their 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 management fees will be due
         or payable for such year. As a result of such threshold, no management
         fees were incurred during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
         1994.

         Certain Affiliates are 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
         Affiliates provide a substantial amount of services in connection with
         the sale. However, if the 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 receipt by the limited partners of their
         aggregate 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital
         contributions. No deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees
         have been incurred since inception.

         from joint ventures and the two properties held as tenants-in-common

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


10.      Concentration of Credit Risk - Continued:

         Although the Partnership's properties are geographically diverse
         throughout the United States and the Partnership's lessees operate a
         variety of restaurant concepts, default by any one of these lessees or
         restaurant chains could significantly impact the results of operations
         of the Partnership. However, the general partners believe that the risk
         of such a default is reduced due to the essential or important nature
         of these properties for the on-going operations of the lessees.

          has a 17.93% Interest as
          Tenants-in-Common and has
          Invested in Under an Operating

(b)        Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements based
           upon estimated lives of 30 years.

(c)        As of December 31, 1996, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned
           by the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, and the
           unconsolidated joint ventures (including the two Properties held as
           tenants-in-common) for federal income tax purposes was $27,956,036
           and $4,042,142, 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 net investment in direct
           financing leases; therefore, depreciation is not applicable.

(e)        For financial reporting purposes, the lease for the land and building
           has been recorded as a direct financing lease. The cost of the land
           and building has been included in net investment in direct financing
           leases; therefore, depreciation is not applicable.

(f)        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 shown.

(g)        The tenant of this property, Restaurant Management Services, Inc.
           subleased this property to a franchisee of a regional restaurant
           chain. The franchisee vacated the property; however, Restaurant
           Management Services, Inc. continues to be responsible for complying
           with all of the terms of the lease agreement and is continuing to pay
           rent on this property, subject to certain rent concessions, to the
           Partnership.

(h)        For financial reporting purposes, the undepreciated cost of the
           Property in Liverpool, New York, was written down to net realizable
           value due to an anticipated impairment in value.  The Partnership
           recognized the impairment by recording an allowance for loss on land
           and building in the amount of $77,023 at December 31, 1996.  The
           impairment at December 31, 1996, represents difference between the
           property's carrying value and the General Partners' estimate of the
           net realizable value of the property based on an anticipated sales
           price of this Property to an interested and unrelated third party.
           The cost of the Property presented on this schedule is the gross
           amount at which the Property was carried at December 31, 1996,
           excluding the allowance for loss on land and building.
