                           CNL INCOME FUND VIII, LTD.
                         (A Florida Limited Partnership)
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999


1.      Basis of Presentation:

        The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
        prepared in  accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
        include  all  of  the  information  and  note  disclosures  required  by
        generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The  financial  statements
        reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,
        which are, in the opinion of  management,  necessary to a fair statement
        of the results for the interim periods presented.  Operating results for
        the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 may not be  indicative of
        the results that may be expected for the year ending  December 31, 2000.
        Amounts as of December 31, 1999,  included in the financial  statements,
        have been derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

        These unaudited financial  statements should be read in conjunction with
        the financial  statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
        Income Fund VIII, Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  for the year ended December
        31, 1999.

        The  Partnership  accounts for its  approximate  88 percent  interest in
        Woodway 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.


2.     Termination of Merger

       On March 1, 2000, the general partners and CNL American  Properties Fund,
       Inc.  ("APF")  mutually  agreed to terminate  the  Agreement  and Plan of
       Merger entered into in March 1999. The general partners are continuing to
       evaluate   strategic   alternatives   for  the   Partnership,   including
       alternatives to provide liquidity to the limited partners.

3.     Subsequent Events:

       In July 2000, the Partnership sold its properties in Brooksville, Bayonet
       Point and Sun City,  Florida,  to an unrelated third party for a total of
       approximately  $3,402,700,  resulting in a gain of approximately $484,800
       for  financial  reporting   purposes.   In  July  2000,  the  Partnership
       reinvested the sales proceeds it received from the sale of the properties
       in Sun City, Florida and Bayonet Point,  Florida in a Bennigan's property
       located in Deerfield, Illinois, at an approximate cost of $2,462,700 from
       CNL  BB  Corp.,  an  affiliate  of the  general  partners.  CNL BB  Corp.
       purchased  and  temporarily  held  title  to this  property  in  order to
       facilitate  the  acquisition  of the  property  by the  Partnership.  The
       purchase price paid by the  Partnership  represents the costs incurred by
       CNL BB Corp. to acquire and carry the property,  including closing costs.
       In  connection  therewith,  the  Partnership  entered  into a long  term,
       triple-net lease with terms substantially the same as its other leases.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         CNL Income Fund VIII,  Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  is a Florida  limited
partnership  that was  organized on August 18, 1989 to acquire for cash,  either
directly or through  joint  venture  arrangements,  both newly  constructed  and
existing  restaurants,  as  well  as  land  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 leases
are, in general, triple-net leases, with the lessees responsible for all repairs
and maintenance,  property taxes, insurance and utilities.  As of June 30, 2000,
the Partnership owned 37 Properties,  which included interests in ten Properties
owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer.

Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary  source of capital for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 was cash from  operations  (which  includes cash received
from tenants,  distributions from joint ventures,  and interest and other income
received, less cash paid for expenses).  Cash from operations was $1,718,106 and
$1,717,444 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties and any net
sales  proceeds  from  the  sale of  Properties,  pending  the  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 or to make distributions to the partners. At June 30, 2000,
the  Partnership  had $1,664,145  invested in such  short-term  investments,  as
compared to  $1,503,989  at December 31, 1999.  The funds  remaining at June 30,
2000, after payment of distributions and other liabilities, will be used to meet
the Partnership's working capital and other needs.

         In July 2000,  the  Partnership  sold its  Properties  in  Brooksville,
Florida;  Bayonet Point,  Florida and Sun City,  Florida,  to an unrelated third
party  for  a  total  of  approximately  $3,402,700,  resulting  in  a  gain  of
approximately  $484,800 for  financial  reporting  purposes.  In July 2000,  the
Partnership  reinvested  the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of the
Properties in Sun City and Bayonet  Point,  Florida in a Bennigan's  Property in
Deerfield,  Illinois. The Partnership acquired the Property from an affiliate of
the general partners.  The affiliate had purchased and temporarily held title to
the  Property in order to  facilitate  the  acquisition  of the  Property by the
Partnership.  The purchase price paid by the  Partnership  represented the costs
incurred by the affiliate to acquire the Property,  including closing costs. The
transaction  relating  to the sale of the  Properties  in Sun  City and  Bayonet
Point, Florida and the reinvestment of the net sales proceeds, was structured to
qualify as a like kind  exchange  transaction  for federal  income tax purposes.
However,  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.  The
Partnership  intends to reinvest  the net sales  proceeds  from the  Property in
Brooksville, Florida in an additional Property. 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.

         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.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased to $1,091,762 at June 30, 2000,  from $1,055,549 at December 31, 1999,
primarily as a result of an increase in rents paid in advance and amounts due to
related parties at June 30, 2000, as compared to December 31, 1999. The increase
in liabilities  at June 30, 2000 was partially  offset by a decrease in accounts
payable at June 30, 2000 as compared to December 31, 1999. The general  partners
believe that the  Partnership  has  sufficient  cash on hand to meet its current
working capital needs.

         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  on  cash  from  operations,   the  Partnership   declared
distributions to limited partners of $1,575,002 for each of the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999  ($787,501  for each of the quarters  ended June 30, 2000
and 1999).  This  represents  distributions  for each  applicable  six months of
$0.045 per unit ($0.023 per unit for each applicable quarter).  No distributions
were made to the general partners for the quarters and six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999. No amounts distributed to the limited partners for the six months
ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999 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.

Long-Term Liquidity

         The  Partnership  has no long-term  debt or other  long-term  liquidity
requirements.

Results of Operations

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership and
its  consolidated  joint  venture,  Woodway Joint  Venture,  owned and leased 28
wholly owned  Properties to operators of fast-food and  family-style  restaurant
chains. In connection  therewith,  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999,  the  Partnership   and  Woodway  Joint  Venture  earned   $1,311,611  and
$1,457,789,  respectively,  in  rental  income  from  operating  leases  (net of
adjustments to accrued  rental  income) and earned income from direct  financing
leases, $600,945 and $727,941 of which was earned during the quarters ended June
30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The decrease in rental and earned  income was
primarily  due to the fact that during the quarter and six months ended June 30,
2000, the tenant of the Property in Statesville,  North Carolina defaulted under
the terms of its  lease,  discontinued  the  operations  of the  restaurant  and
vacated the Property. As a result, the Partnership  established an allowance for
doubtful  accounts of  approximately  $18,300 for past due rental amounts during
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000.  In  addition,  the  Partnership
reversed  approximately  $123,400 of accrued rental  income.  The accrued rental
income was the accumulated amount of non-cash accounting  adjustments previously
recorded in order to recognize  future scheduled rent increases as income evenly
over the term of the  lease.  The  general  partners  will  continue  to  pursue
collection of rental  amounts  relating to this Property and will recognize such
amounts as income if collected.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership
owned and leased nine and eight  Properties,  respectively,  indirectly  through
other joint venture arrangements. In connection therewith, during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership  earned  $138,554 and  $129,878,
respectively,  attributable to net income earned by these  unconsolidated  joint
ventures, $71,275 and $69,647 of which was earned during the quarters ended June
30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.  The  increase  in  net  income  earned  by
unconsolidated  joint  ventures  for the quarter  and six months  ended June 30,
2000,  was  primarily due to the fact that the  Partnership  invested in Bossier
City Joint Venture in November 1999.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $362,365  and  $375,475  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  of which $162,677 and $205,950 were incurred  during the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The decrease in operating expenses
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,  was primarily  attributable
to the fact that the Partnership incurred less transaction costs relating to the
general  partners  retaining  financial  and legal  advisors  to assist  them in
evaluating  and  negotiating  the proposed  merger with CNL American  Properties
Fund, Inc. ("APF"),  due to the termination of the proposed merger, as described
below in "Termination of Merger". The decrease in operating expenses for the six
months  ended  June  30,  2000  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  i)
administrative  expenses for servicing the Partnership and its Properties,  (ii)
real  estate tax  expense  due to the  default of the tenant of the  Property in
Statesville, North Carolina, as described above, and (iii) professional services
as a result  of the  1999  appraisal  updates  obtained  to  prepare  an  annual
statement  of  unit  valuation  to  qualified   plans  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership  agreement,   during  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000.  The
Partnership  incurred  the cost of the 1998  appraisal  updates  during the year
ended December 31, 1998.

Termination of Merger

         On March 1, 2000,  the  general  partners  and APF  mutually  agreed to
  terminate  the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger (the  "Merger")  entered into in
  March  1999.  The  general  partners  are  continuing  to  evaluate  strategic
  alternatives for the Partnership,  including alternatives to provide liquidity
  to the limited partners.

Dismissal of Legal Action

         As described in greater detail in Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings",
in 1999 two  groups of  limited  partners  in several  CNL  Income  Funds  filed
purported  class action  suits  against the general  partners and APF  alleging,
among other  things,  that the general  partners  had breached  their  fiduciary
duties  in  connection  with the  proposed  Merger.  These  actions  were  later
consolidated  into one action.  On April 25, 2000, the judge in the consolidated
action issued an order dismissing the action without prejudice,  with each party
to bear its own costs and attorneys' fees.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         No material  changes in the  Partnership's  market risk  occurred  from
December 31, 1999 through June 30, 2000. Information regarding the Partnership's
market risk at December  31, 1999 is included in its Annual  Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.       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
              sought unspecified  damages and equitable relief. On July 8, 1999,
              the plaintiffs  filed an amended  complaint  which, in addition to
              naming three additional plaintiffs, included 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 sought additional equitable relief. As amended, the caption of
