PART I
Item 1. Business
CNL Income Fund VII, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on August 18, 1989. 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 January 30, 1990, the
Partnership offered for sale up to $30,000,000 of limited partnership interests
(the "Units") (30,000,000 Units each at $1 per Unit) pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
offering terminated on August 1, 1990, as of which date the maximum offering
proceeds of $30,000,000 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 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, totaled
$26,550,000, and were used to acquire 42 Properties, including interests in nine
Properties owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer,
and to establish a working capital reserve for Partnership purposes. During
1994, the Partnership sold its Property in St. Paul, Minnesota and reinvested
the majority of the net sales proceeds in a Checkers Property in Winter Springs,
Florida, consisting of only land, and a Jack in the Box Property in Yuma,
Arizona, which is owned as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General
Partners. The lessee of the Property consisting of only land owns the building
currently on the land. During 1995, the Partnership sold its Properties in
Florence, South Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida and accepted promissory notes
in the principal sum of $1,160,000 and $240,000, respectively. In addition, the
building located on the Partnership's Property in Daytona Beach, Florida was
demolished in accordance with a condemnation agreement during 1995. During the
year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership sold its Properties in Hartland,
Michigan and Colorado Springs, Colorado and reinvested the net sales received
from the sale of the Colorado Springs, Colorado Property in a Boston Market
Property in Marietta, Georgia. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Partnership used the net sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in
Hartland, Michigan to invest in CNL Mansfield Joint Venture with an affiliate of
the General Partners in exchange for a 79 percent interest in the joint venture.
In addition, during 1997, the Partnership sold its Properties in Columbus,
Indiana and Dunnellon, Florida and sold the Property in Yuma, Arizona, which was
owned as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partners, and
reinvested the net sales proceeds in a Property in Smithfield, North Carolina
and a Property in Miami, Florida, each as tenants-in-common, with affiliates of
the General Partners. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership
sold its Property in Maryville, Tennessee and used the net sales proceeds to
invest in a Property in Montgomery, Alabama as tenants-in-common, with
affiliates of the General Partners. In addition, during 1999, the Partnership
received a prepaid principal payment from the borrower relating to one of the
promissory notes the Partnership had previously accepted. The Partnership used
the proceeds to invest in Duluth Joint Venture with affiliates of the General
Partners to construct and hold one restaurant property. In addition, during
1999, Halls Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 51.1% interest, sold
its Property in Halls, Tennessee. As a result of the above transactions, as of
December 31, 1999, the Partnership owned 40 Properties. The 40 Properties
included interests in ten Properties owned by joint ventures in which the
Partnership is a co-venturer and three Properties owned with affiliates as
tenants-in-common. The Properties are, in general, 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 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. 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
purchase options granted to certain lessees.

<PAGE>
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. 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.
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 17 years), and expire
between 2003 and 2019. Generally, the 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 $22,100 to $191,900. The majority of 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 specified lease years (generally
ranging from the sixth to the eleventh lease year), the annual base rent
required under the terms of the lease will increase.
Generally, the leases of the Properties provide for two to four five-year
renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the initial lease.
Lessees of 30 of the Partnership's 40 Properties also have been granted options
to purchase Properties at the Property's then fair market value after a
specified portion of the lease term has elapsed. Fair market value will be
determined through an appraisal by an independent appraisal firm. Under the
terms of certain leases, the option purchase price may equal the Partnership's
original cost to purchase the Property (including acquisition costs), plus a
specified percentage from the date of the lease or a specified percentage of the
Partnership's purchase price, if that amount is greater than the Property's fair
market value at the time the purchase option is exercised.
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 that 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 November 1999, the Partnership invested in a Property in Montgomery,
Alabama as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., a Florida limited
partnership and affiliate of the General Partners. The lease terms for this
Property are substantially the same as the Partnership's other leases. In
December 1999, the Partnership entered into a joint venture arrangement, Duluth
Joint Venture, with affiliates of the General Partners, to construct and hold
one restaurant Property. The lease terms for this Property are substantially the
same as the Partnership's other leases.
Major Tenants
During 1999, three lessees of the Partnership and its consolidated joint
venture, Golden Corral Corporation, Restaurant Management Services, Inc., and
Waving Leaves, Inc., each contributed more than ten percent of the Partnership's
total rental, earned, and mortgage interest income (including rental and earned
income from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's
share of rental income from nine Properties owned by unconsolidated joint
ventures and three 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, Restaurant Management
Services, Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to seven restaurants and one
site currently consisting of land only, and Waving Leaves, Inc. 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
2
<PAGE>
each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's
total rental, earned, and mortgage interest income in 2000. In addition, three
Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral Family Steakhouse Restaurants ("Golden
Corral"), Hardee's, and Burger King, each accounted for more than ten percent of
the Partnership's total rental, earned, and mortgage interest income in 1999
(including rental and earned income from the Partnership's consolidated joint
venture and the Partnership's share of rental and earned income from nine
Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and three Properties owned
with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common). In 2000, it is
anticipated that these three Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for
more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental, earned, and mortgage
interest 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 if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the
Properties in a timely manner. As of December 31, 1999, Golden Corral
Corporation leased 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, San Antonio
#849 Joint Venture, with an unaffiliated entity to purchase and hold one
Property. In addition, the Partnership has entered into five separate joint
venture arrangements: Halls Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund V, Ltd.; CNL
Restaurant Investments II with CNL Income Fund VIII, Ltd. and CNL Income Fund
IX, Ltd.; Des Moines Real Estate Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund XI, Ltd. and
CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd.; CNL Mansfield Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund
XVII, Ltd.; and Duluth Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund V, Ltd., CNL Income
Fund XIV, Ltd., and CNL Income Fund XV, Ltd. Each of the CNL Income Funds is an
affiliate of the General Partners and is a limited partnership organized
pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida. CNL Restaurants Investments II was
formed to purchase and hold six Properties and each of the other joint ventures
was formed to purchase and hold one Property. 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 an 83
percent interest in San Antonio #849 Joint Venture, a 51.1% interest in Halls
Joint Venture, an 18 percent interest in CNL Restaurant Investments II, a 4.79%
interest in Des Moines Real Estate Joint Venture, a 79 percent interest in CNL
Mansfield Joint Venture, and an 11 percent interest in Duluth Joint Venture. The
Partnership and its joint venture partners are also jointly and severally liable
for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint venture.
San Antonio #849 Joint Venture, Halls Joint Venture, Des Moines Real Estate
Joint Venture, CNL Mansfield Joint Venture, and Duluth Joint Venture each have
an initial term of 20 years and, after the expiration of the initial term,
continue in existence from year to year unless terminated at the option of any
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
each joint venture partner to dissolve the joint venture. CNL Restaurant
Investments II's joint venture agreement does not provide a fixed term, but
continues in existence until terminated by any of the joint venturers.
The Partnership has management control of the San Antonio #849 Joint
Venture and shares management control equally with affiliates of the General
Partners for Halls Joint Venture, CNL Restaurant Investments II, Des Moines Real
Estate Joint Venture, CNL Mansfield Joint Venture, and Duluth 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 San Antonio #849 Joint Venture, Halls
Joint Venture, CNL Restaurant Investments II, Des Moines Real Estate Joint
Venture, CNL Mansfield Joint Venture, and Duluth Joint Venture is distributed
83.3%, 51.1%, 18 percent, 4.79%, 79 percent, and 11 percent, respectively, to
the Partnership and the balance is distributed to each of the other joint
venture partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests 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.

<PAGE>
In addition to the above joint venture agreements, in July 1994, the
Partnership entered into an agreement to hold a Jack in the Box Property as
tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund VI, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partners. The agreement provided 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 owned a 48.33% interest in this Property.
In October 1997, the Partnership and the affiliate, as tenants-in-common, sold
the Jack in the Box Property in Yuma, Arizona. In December 1997, the
Partnership entered into an agreement to hold a Property in Miami, Florida, as
tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund III, Ltd., CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. and
CNL Income Fund XIII, Ltd., affiliates of the General Partners, and in
conjunction therewith, reinvested its portion of the net sales proceeds received
from the sale of the Property in Yuma, Arizona, along with additional funds from
the sale of the Property in Columbus, Indiana. 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
35.64% interest in the Property in Miami, Florida.
In addition, in December 1997, the Partnership entered into an agreement to
hold a Golden Corral Property in Smithfield, North Carolina, as tenants-in-
common with CNL Income Fund II, Ltd., 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-tenant's percentage
interest. The Partnership owns a 53 percent interest in this Property.
In November 1999, the Partnership entered into an agreement to hold a IHOP
property in Montgomery, Alabama, as tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IX,
Ltd., 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-tenant's percentage interest. The Partnership owns a
71 percent interest in this Property.
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
co-tenant'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 co-tenant.
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. The
affiliates are limited partnerships organized pursuant to the laws of the State
of Florida.
Certain Management Services
CNL Fund Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, provides
certain services relating to management of the Partnership and its Properties
pursuant to a 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 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"). In any year in which the Limited Partners have not
received the 10% Preferred Return, no property management fee will be paid.
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.

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 40 Properties. Of the 40
Properties, 27 are owned by the Partnership in fee simple, ten are owned through
joint venture arrangements and three 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 10,800 to
110,200 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.
The following table lists the Properties owned by the Partnership as of
December 31, 1999 by state. More detailed information regarding the location of
the Properties is contained in the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated

Buildings. Generally, each of the Properties owned by the Partnership
includes a building that is one of a Restaurant Chain's approved designs.
However, the building located on the Checkers Property is owned by the tenant,
while the land parcel is owned by the Partnership. In addition, the building
located on the Partnership's Property in Daytona Beach, Florida was demolished
in accordance with a condemnation agreement during 1995. The buildings
generally are rectangular and are constructed from various combinations of
stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile. The sizes of the buildings owned by the
Partnership range from approximately 700 to 10,600 square feet. All buildings
on Properties 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
5

computed for buildings and improvements using the straight-line method using
depreciable lives of 40 years for federal income tax purposes. As of December
31, 1999, the aggregate cost of the Properties owned by the Partnership
(including its consolidated joint venture) and the unconsolidated joint ventures
(including the Properties owned through tenants-in-common arrangements), for
federal income tax purposes was $11,815,541 and $9,283,173, respectively.

=========
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, all of the Properties
were occupied. The following is a schedule of the average rent per Property for

Leases with Major Tenants. The terms of each of the leases with the
Partnership's major tenants as of December 31, 1999 (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. The
initial term of each lease is 15 years (expiring between 2004 and 2012) and the
average minimum base annual rent is approximately $148,700 (ranging from
approximately $137,100 to $166,700).
Restaurant Management Services, Inc. leases five Popeyes restaurants, one
Shoney's restaurant, one Church's Fried Chicken restaurant and one site
currently consisting of land only (formerly operated as a Church's Fried
Chicken). The initial term of each lease is 19 to 20 years (expiring between
2009 and 2010) and the average minimum base annual rent is approximately $53,700
(ranging from approximately $22,100 to $121,000).
Waving Leaves, Inc. leases four Hardee's restaurants. The initial term of
each lease is 20 years (expiring in 2010) and the average minimum base annual
rent is approximately $81,000 (ranging from approximately $70,300 to $89,400).
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 3,150 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 was $.95 per Unit. The price paid for any Unit 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 capital contribution per Unit was $1. All cash available for
distribution will be distributed to the partners pursuant to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.
For each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $2,700,000 to the Limited Partners.
Distributions of $675,000 were declared at the close of each of the
Partnership's calendar quarters during 1999 and 1998 to the Limited Partners.
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. These amounts include monthly distributions made in arrears
for the Limited Partners electing to receive distributions on this basis.
The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions of cash available
for distribution to the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis, although some
Limited Partners, in accordance with their election, receive monthly
distributions, for an annual fee.

The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the
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 August 18, 1989, 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 generally 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 40 Properties, either
directly or indirectly through joint venture or tenancy in common arrangements.
Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of capital for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, 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 $2,679,493, $2,790,975, and
$2,840,459 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, 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 the Partnership's
working capital.
Other significant sources and uses of capital included the following during
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.
In March 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the tenant of
the Property in Daytona Beach, 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 $13,200 of
the rental payment deferral amounts. The tenant made payments of approximately
$5,700 in each of March 1997, June 1998, and June 1999 in accordance with the
terms of the agreement, and has agreed to pay the Partnership the remaining
balance due of approximately $16,600 in three remaining annual installments
through 2002.
In October 1996, the Partnership sold its Property in Hartland, Michigan,
for $625,000 and received net sales proceeds of $617,035. In February 1997, the
Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds in CNL Mansfield Joint Venture.
The Partnership has a 79 percent interest in the profits and losses of CNL
Mansfield Joint Venture and the remaining interest in this joint venture is held
by an affiliate of the Partnership which has the same General Partners.
In May 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Columbus, Indiana, for
$240,000 and received net sales proceeds of $223,589, resulting in a loss of
$19,739 for financial reporting purposes. In December 1997, the Partnership
reinvested the net sales proceeds, along with additional funds, in a Property in
Miami, Florida, as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the General Partner, in
exchange for a 35.64% interest in this Property.
In October 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Dunnellon, Florida,
for $800,000 and received net sales proceeds of $752,745, resulting in a gain of
$183,701 for financial reporting purposes. This Property was originally
acquired by the Partnership in August 1990 and had a cost of approximately
$546,300, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses;
therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $211,500 in
excess of its original purchase price. In December 1997, the Partnership
reinvested the net sales proceeds in a Property in Smithfield, North Carolina,
as tenants-in-common with an affiliate of the General Partner.
In addition, in October 1997, the Partnership and an affiliate, as tenants-
in-common, sold the Property in Yuma, Arizona, in which the Partnership owned a
48.33% interest for a total sales price of $1,010,000 and received net sales
proceeds of $982,025, resulting in a gain, to the tenancy-in-common, of
approximately $128,400 for
10
<PAGE>
financial reporting purposes. The Property was originally acquired in July 1994
and had a total cost of approximately $861,700, excluding acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the Property was sold for
approximately $120,300 in excess of its original purchase price. In December
1997, the Partnership reinvested its portion of the net sales proceeds from the
sale of the Yuma, Arizona Property, along with funds from the sale of the wholly
owned Property in Columbus, Indiana, in a Property in Miami, Florida, as
tenants-in-common with affiliates of the General Partners. 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 Property in Maryville, Tennessee, to
the tenant in accordance with the purchase option under the lease agreement for
$1,068,802 and received net sales proceeds of $1,059,954, resulting in a gain of
$188,691 for financial reporting purposes. This Property was originally
acquired by the Partnership in 1990 and had a cost of approximately $890,700,
excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore,
the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $169,300 in excess of its
original purchase price. In November 1999, the Partnership reinvested these net
sales proceeds in a Property in Montgomery, Alabama, as tenants-in-common with
an affiliate of the General Partners. The sale of the Property in Maryville,
Tennessee and the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds in the Property in
Montgomery, Alabama qualified as a like-kind exchange transaction in accordance
with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
In addition, in June 1999, Halls Joint Venture, in which the Partnership
owns a 51.1% interest, sold its Property to the tenant in accordance with the
purchase option under the lease agreement for $891,915, resulting in a gain to
the joint venture of approximately $239,300 for financial reporting purposes.
The Property was originally contributed to Halls Joint Venture in 1990 and had a
total cost to the joint venture of approximately $672,000, excluding acquisition
fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the joint venture sold
the Property for approximately $219,900 in excess of its original purchase
price. The joint venture intends to reinvest the net sales proceeds in an
additional Property. The Partnership will distribute 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.
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership had accepted two promissory notes
in connection with the sale of two of its Properties. In July 1999, the
Partnership collected the outstanding principal balance of $235,564 relating to
the promissory note accepted in connection with the 1995 sale of the Property in
Jacksonville, Florida. The note bore an interest rate of ten percent per annum
and was to be collected in 119 equal monthly installments of $2,106, with a
balloon payment of $218,252 to be due December 2005. In December 1999, the
Partnership reinvested these amounts in Duluth Joint Venture with CNL Income
Fund V, Ltd., CNL Income Fund XIV, Ltd., and CNL Income Fund XV, Ltd., each
Florida limited partnerships and affiliates of the General Partners. The joint
venture was formed to construct and hold one restaurant Property. As of
December 31, 1999, the Partnership had contributed approximately $119,100 to
purchase land and pay for construction costs relating to the joint venture and
has agreed to contribute additional amounts in 2000 for additional construction
costs. When funding is completed, the Partnership expects to have an
approximate11 percent interest in the profits and losses of this joint venture.
As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had an 11 percent interest in the
profits and losses of this joint venture.
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. 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 and net sales
proceeds from the sale of Properties pending reinvestment in additional
Properties, are 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, invest in additional Properties, or make distributions to the
partners. At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had $925,348 invested in such
short-term investments, as compared to $856,825 at December 31, 1998. As of
December 31, 1999, the average interest rate earned on the rental income
deposited in demand deposit
11
<PAGE>
accounts at commercial banks was approximately 2 percent annually. The funds
remaining at December 31, 1999, will be used for the payment of distributions
and other liabilities.
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
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
believe that the Partnership has sufficient working capital reserves at this
time. In addition, because all 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.
The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining after
the payment of the operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent that the
General Partners determine that such funds are available for distribution.
Based primarily on cash from operations, the Partnership declared distributions
to the Limited Partners of $2,700,000 for each of the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998, and 1997. This represents distributions of $0.090 per Unit for each
of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997. No amounts distributed to
the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 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 $143,688, $86,851, and $74,968, respectively, for
certain operating expenses. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Partnership
owed $59,131 and $17,911, respectively, to affiliates for such amounts and
accounting and administrative services. As of March 15, 2000, the Partnership
had reimbursed the affiliates all such amounts. In addition, as of December 31,
1998, the Partnership owed $7,200 in real estate disposition fees to an
affiliate as a result of its services in connection with the 1995 sale of the
Property in Jacksonville, Florida. Because the General Partners initially
considered not reinvesting the sales proceeds in an additional Property, the
Partnership accrued $7,200 of a real estate disposition fee and therefore
included these amounts in the determination of the gain on sale for financial
reporting purposes during 1995. However, during the year ended December 31,
1999, the Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds in an additional
Property. Accordingly, the Partnership reversed this subordinated real estate
disposition fee during the year ended December 31, 1999. Total liabilities,
including distributions payable, of the Partnership increased to $782,001 at
December 31, 1999, from $732,746 at December 31, 1998 primarily as a result of
the Partnership accruing transaction costs relating to the proposed Merger with
APF, as described in "Termination of Merger." The increase was partially offset
by a decrease in rents paid in advance at December 31, 1999. 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 1997, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, San
Antonio #849 Joint Venture, owned and leased 31 wholly owned Properties
(including two Properties which were sold during 1997). During 1998 and 1999,
the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, owned and leased 29 wholly
owned Properties (including one Property which was sold in June 1999). In
addition, during 1997, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture was a
co-venturer in four separate unconsolidated joint ventures which owned and
leased nine Properties, and owned and leased three Properties with affiliates as
tenants-in-common (including one Property in Yuma, Arizona which was sold in
October 1997). During 1998, the Partnership and its consolidated joint venture,
was a co-venturer in four separate unconsolidated joint ventures which owned and
leased nine Properties, and owned and leased two Properties with affiliates as
tenants-in-common. During 1999, the Partnership and its consolidated joint
venture, was a co-venturer in five, separate unconsolidated joint ventures which
owned and leased ten Properties (including one Property in Halls, Tennessee
which was sold in June 1999), and owned and leased three Properties with
affiliates as tenants-in-common. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership and
its consolidated joint venture, owned (either directly, as tenants-in-common
with an affiliate or through joint venture arrangements) 40 Properties which are
generally 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 $22,100 to $191,900. Substantially all of 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 specified lease
years (generally ranging from the sixth to the eleventh lease year), the annual
base rent required under the terms of the lease will increase. 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 $2,318,042, $2,390,557, and
$2,436,222, respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned
income from direct financing leases. The decrease in rental and earned income
during 1999, as compared to 1998, was primarily a result of the sale of the
Property in Maryville, Tennessee, in June 1999, as described above in "Capital
Resources." The decrease in rental and earned income during 1998 as compared to
1997, was attributable to a decrease in rental and earned income as a result of
the sales of the Properties in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Hartland, Michigan;
Columbus, Ohio and Dunnellon, Florida, in July 1996, October 1996, May 1997, and
October 1997, respectively. Rental and earned income are expected to remain at
reduced amounts in future years as a result of reinvesting the proceeds from the
sales of the Properties in Hartland, Michigan; Columbus, Ohio and Dunnellon,
Florida in joint ventures and in Properties owned with affiliates, as tenants-
in-common, as described below. However, as a result of reinvesting in joint
ventures and in Properties owned with affiliates, as tenants-in-common, net
income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures increased in 1998 and 1999, as
described below.
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership also
earned $76,601, $93,906, and $51,345, respectively, in contingent rental income.
Contingent rental income was higher during 1998 than that earned during 1999,
primarily due to the fact that during 1999, the Partnership adjusted estimated
contingent rental amounts accrued at December 31, 1998, to actual amounts due in
1999. The increase in contingent rental income during 1998, as compared to
1997, was primarily a result of increased gross sales of certain restaurant
Properties requiring the payment of contingent rental income.
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership
earned $186,933, $171,263, and $183,579, respectively, in interest and other
income. The increase in interest and other income during 1999, as compared to
1998, was primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on net sales
proceeds relating to the sale of the Property in Maryville, Tennessee, pending
the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds in an additional Property. In
November 1999, these net sales proceeds were invested in an IHOP Property in
Montgomery, Alabama, as described above in "Capital Resources".
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership also
earned $429,997, $311,081, and $267,251, respectively, attributable to net
income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-
venturer and Properties owned indirectly with affiliates as tenants-in-common.
The increase in net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures during 1999,
as compared to 1998, was partially due to the fact that in June 1999, Halls
Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 51.1% interest, recognized a gain
of
13
<PAGE>
approximately $239,300, approximately $122,000 of which was allocated to the
Partnership for financial reporting purposes as a result of the sale of its
Property. Because the joint venture intends to reinvest the sales proceeds in
an additional Property, the Partnership does not anticipate that the sale of the
Property will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the
joint venture. The increase in net income earned by joint ventures during the
year ended 1998, as compared to 1997, was partially due to the fact that in
February 1997, the Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds it received
from the sale, in October 1996, of the Property in Hartland, Michigan, in CNL
Mansfield Joint Venture, with an affiliate of the Partnership which has the same
General Partners. In addition, the increase in net income earned by joint
ventures during the year ended 1998, was partially due to the Partnership
investing in a Property in Smithfield, North Carolina, in December 1997, with
affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common, as described above in
"Capital Resources." In addition, the increase in net income earned by joint
ventures during 1998 was partially offset by the fact that in October 1997, the
Partnership and an affiliate, as tenants-in-common, sold the Property in Yuma,
Arizona, in which the Partnership owned a 48.33% interest. The tenancy-in-
common recognized a gain of approximately $128,400 for financial reporting
purposes, as described above in "Capital Resources."
During the year ended December 31, 1999, three lessees of the Partnership
and its consolidated joint venture, Golden Corral Corporation, Restaurant
Management of S.C., Inc., and Waving Leaves, Inc., each contributed more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental, earned and mortgage interest
income (including rental and earned income from the Partnership's consolidated
joint venture and the Partnership's share of rental and earned income from nine
Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and three 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, Restaurant Management of S.C., Inc. was the lessee under leases
relating to seven restaurants and one site currently consisting of land only,
and Waving Leaves, Inc. 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, earned and mortgage
interest income during 2000. In addition, during the year ended December 31,
1999, three Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral, Hardee's, and Burger King, each
accounted for more than ten percent of the Partnership's total rental, earned
and mortgage interest income (including rental and earned income from the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of rental
and earned income from nine Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures
and three Properties owned with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-
in-common). In 2000, it is anticipated that these three Restaurant Chains each
will continue to account for more than ten percent of the Partnership's total
rental, earned and mortgage interest 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 if the Partnership is
not able to re-lease the Properties in a timely manner.
Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense, were
$637,069, $483,224, and $478,614 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. The increase in operating expenses during 1999 and
1998, each as compared to the previous year, was partially due to the fact that
the Partnership incurred $160,426 and $18,781, during 1999 and 1998,
respectively, in transaction costs relating to the General Partners retaining
financial and legal advisors to assist them in evaluating and negotiating the
proposed Merger with APF, as described in "Termination of Merger". In addition,
the increase in operating expenses during 1999, as compared to 1998, was
partially due to the Partnership incurring additional state taxes due to changes
in tax laws of a state in which the Partnership conducts business. The increase
in operating expenses during 1998, as compared to 1997, was partially offset by
a decrease in general operating and administrative expenses.
In connection with the sale of its Property in Florence, South Carolina,
during 1995, the Partnership recognized a gain for financial reporting purposes
of $1,135, $1,025, and $926, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," the Partnership
recorded the sale using the installment sales method. As such, the gain on sale
was deferred and is being recognized as income proportionately as payments under
the mortgage note are collected. Therefore, the balance of the deferred gain of
$124,143 at December 31, 1999 is being recognized as income in future periods as
payments are collected. For federal income tax purposes, a gain of
approximately $97,300 from the sale of this Property was also deferred during
1995 and is being recognized as payments under the mortgage note are collected.

As a result of the sale of the Property in Columbus, Indiana, during 1997,
as described above in "Capital Resources," the Partnership recognized a loss of
$19,739 for financial reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 1997.
In addition, as a result of the sale of the Property in Dunnellon, Florida, as
described above in "Capital Resources" the Partnership recognized a gain for
financial reporting purposes of $183,701 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 1999, are generally 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. Inflation has had a minimal effect on income from operations.
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 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.
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
15
<PAGE>
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.
Interest Rate Risk
The Partnership has provided fixed rate mortgage notes to borrowers. The
General Partners believe that the estimated fair value of the mortgage notes at
December 31, 1999 approximated the outstanding principal amounts. The
Partnership is exposed to equity loss in the event of changes in interest rates.
The following table presents the expected cash flows of principal that are
sensitive to these changes:

used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies:
-------------------------------
Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund VII, 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 generally 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
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, are removed from the accounts and gains or
losses from sales are 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 83.3%
----------------------------
interest in San Antonio #849 Joint Venture using the consolidation method.
Minority interest represents the minority joint venture partner's
proportionate share of the equity in the Partnership's consolidated joint
venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

-----------------------------------------
Years Ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
1. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
-------------------------------------------
The Partnership's investments in Halls Joint Venture, CNL Restaurant
Investments II, Des Moines Real Estate Joint Venture, CNL Mansfield Joint
Venture, and Duluth Joint Venture, and a property in Smithfield, North
Carolina, a property in Miami, Florida, and a property in Montgomery,
Alabama, for which each of the three properties is 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 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.
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.

2. Leases:
------
The Partnership leases its land or 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, some 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 the
majority 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 to four 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.

In June 1999, the Partnership sold its property in Maryville, Tennessee to
the tenant in accordance with the purchase option under the lease agreement
for $1,068,802 and received net sales proceeds of $1,059,954, resulting in
a gain of $188,691 for financial reporting purposes. This property was
originally acquired by the Partnership in 1990 at a cost of approximately
$890,700, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold this property for a total of
approximately $169,300 in excess of its original purchase price. The
Partnership reinvested the net sales proceeds in an additional property as
tenants-in-common with CNL Income Fund IX, Ltd., a Florida limited
partnership and affiliate of the general partners (see Note 5).
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, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Partnership recognized $81,057,
$90,896, and $102,142 (net of $11,159 in reserves), respectively, of such
rental income.

In June 1999, Halls Joint Venture, in which the Partnership owns a 51.1%
interest, sold its property to the tenant in accordance with the purchase

joint venture of approximately $239,300 for financial reporting purposes.
The property was originally contributed to Halls Joint Venture in 1990 and
had a total cost of approximately $672,000, excluding acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses; therefore, the joint venture sold the
property for approximately $219,900 in excess of it original purchase
price.
In November 1999, the Partnership used a portion of the net sales proceeds
from the sale of the Property in Maryville, Tennessee to acquire a property

The general partners believe that the estimated fair values of mortgage
notes receivable at December 31, 1999 and 1998, approximate the outstanding
principal amount based on estimated current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit and for similar maturities.
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 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 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 not in liquidation of
the Partnership 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 each of the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the
Partnership declared distributions to the limited partners of $2,700,000.
No distributions have been made to the general partners to date.

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.
In connection therewith, the Partnership has agreed to pay the Advisor an
annual, noncumulative, subordinated 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 properties held as tenants-in-common with affiliates, but not in excess
of competitive fees for comparable services. These fees will be incurred
and will be payable only after the limited partners receive their 10%
Preferred Return. Due to the fact that these fees are noncumulative, if
the limited partners have not received their 10% Preferred Return in any
particular year, no management fee 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, 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 sale. 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 10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital
contributions. No deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees were
incurred for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

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 if the Partnership is not able to re-lease the properties in a
timely manner.
11. Termination of Merger:
---------------------
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
"Merger"). 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.
