           Quarters and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996


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 nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  may not be
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the year ending
         December  31, 1997.  Amounts as of December  31, 1996,  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 IX, Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  for the year ended  December
         31, 1996.

2.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases:

         In June 1997, the Partnership sold its property in Alpharetta, Georgia,
         and received net sales proceeds of  $1,053,571,  resulting in a gain of
         $199,643 for financial reporting purposes. This property was originally
         acquired  by the  Partnership  in  September  1991  and  had a cost  of
         approximately  $711,200,  excluding  acquisition fees and miscellaneous
         acquisition expenses;  therefore, the Partnership sold the property for
         approximately $342,400 in excess of its original purchase price.

3.       Investment in Joint Ventures:

         In July 1997, the Partnership used the net sales proceeds from the sale
         of the property in  Alpharetta,  Georgia,  to acquire an approximate 67
         percent interest in an IHOP property located in Englewood, Colorado, as
         tenants-in-common  with  an  affiliate  of the  general  partners.  The
         Partnership  accounts for its  investment  in this  property  using the
         equity method since the  Partnership  shares control with an affiliate,
         and amounts  relating to its  investment  are included in investment in
         joint ventures.

         the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  from
         these joint ventures,  $148,487 and $116,220 of which was earned during

         In addition,  the following  schedule  presents total rental and earned
         income from individual  restaurant chains,  each representing more than
         ten  percent  of the  Partnership's  total  rental  and  earned  income

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

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

         CNL Income  Fund IX,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a Florida  limited
partnership  that was organized on April 16, 1990,  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
selected national and regional fast-food and family-style restaurant chains. The
leases are generally  triple-net  leases,  with the lessees  responsible for all
repairs  and  maintenance,  property  taxes,  insurance  and  utilities.  As  of
September 30, 1997, the Partnership owned 41 Properties,  including interests in
13 Properties  owned by joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer
and one Property owned with an affiliate as tenants in common.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary source of capital for the nine months ended
September  30, 1997 and 1996,  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
$2,363,892 and $2,569,907 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The  decrease in cash from  operations  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, is
primarily a result of changes in income and expenses as discussed in "Results of
Operations" below, and changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         Other  sources and uses of capital  included the  following  during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.

         In June 1997, the Partnership sold its Property in Alpharetta, Georgia,
and received net sales proceeds of $1,053,571, resulting in a gain for financial
reporting  purposes of $199,643.  This Property was  originally  acquired by the
Partnership  in  September  1991  and  had a  cost  of  approximately  $711,200,
excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses;  therefore,
the Partnership  sold the Property for  approximately  $342,400 in excess of its
original purchase price. In July 1997, the Partnership reinvested  approximately
$1,049,800  of these  net  sales  proceeds  in an IHOP  Property  in  Englewood,
Colorado,  as  tenants-in-common,  with an affiliate of the general partners. In
connection  therewith,  the  Partnership  and  the  affiliate  entered  into  an
agreement  whereby each  co-venturer will share in the profits and losses of the
Property  in  proportion  to  each  co-venturer's  percentage  interest.  As  of
September 30, 1997, the Partnership  owned an approximate 67 percent interest in
the Property.  The general partners  believe that the transaction,  or a portion
thereof,  relating to the sale of the Property in Alpharetta,  Georgia,  and the
reinvestment  of the proceeds in an IHOP Property in Englewood,  Colorado,  will
qualify as a like-kind exchange transaction for federal income tax purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties is invested
in money market accounts or other short-term,  highly liquid investments pending
the  Partnership's  use of such  funds to pay  Partnership  expenses  or to make
distributions  to the  partners.  At September  30, 1997,  the  Partnership  had
$1,258,817 invested in such short-term investments, as compared to $1,288,618 at
December 31, 1996.  The  decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, was primarily  attributable to the payment of a
special  distribution  to the  limited  partners  of $35,000 in January  1997 of
cumulative excess operating reserves. The funds remaining at September 30, 1997,
after payment of distributions and other  liabilities,  will be used to meet the
Partnership's working capital and other needs.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
decreased to $962,995 at September 30, 1997, from $984,251 at December 31, 1996,
primarily  as a result of the  Partnership's  accruing  a  special  distribution
payable to the limited  partners of $35,000 at December 31,  1996,  as described
above,  which was paid in January 1997.  The general  partners  believe that the
Partnership  has  sufficient  cash on hand to meet its current  working  capital
needs.

         Based  primarily  on cash from  operations,  the  Partnership  declared
distributions  to the limited partners of $2,362,503 for each of the nine months
ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996  ($787,501  for each of the  quarters  ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996). This represents  distributions for each applicable
nine  months of $0.68 per unit  ($0.23 per unit for each of the  quarters  ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996). No distributions were made to the general partners
for the quarters and nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996. No amounts
distributed  or to be  distributed  to the limited  partners for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  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.

         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.

Results of Operations

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  and  1996,  the
Partnership owned and leased 28 wholly owned Properties  (including one Property
in Alpharetta,  Georgia,  which was sold in June 1997) to operators of fast-food
and family-style  restaurant  chains. In connection  therewith,  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership  earned $1,918,423 and
$2,081,388,  respectively,  in rental  income from  operating  leases and earned
income from direct financing leases from these Properties, $615,425 and $696,440
of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.  Rental and earned income decreased by  approximately  $21,000 and
$49,000  during the quarter and nine months ended  September 30, 1997 due to the
fact that during April 1997,  the  operator of the Property in Copley  Township,
Ohio,  ceased  operations of the Property and the Partnership  ceased  recording
rental income and wrote-off the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Partnership
released  this Property to Shells  Seafood  Restaurants  in September  1997 with
rental income commencing the earlier of the day the tenant opens for business or
January 15, 1998.

         Rental and earned  income  also  decreased  during the quarter and nine
months  ended  September  30,  1997,  as compared to the quarter and nine months
ended  September 30, 1996, due to the fact that the  Partnership  established an
allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately  $33,900 and $79,700 during the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively,  relating to the
Perkins Properties in Williamsville and Rochester, New York, which are leased by
the same tenant,  due to financial  difficulties the tenant is experiencing.  No
such  allowance  was  established  during  the  quarter  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996.  The  Partnership  intends to pursue  collection of past due
amounts from this tenant and will recognize such amounts as income if collected.

         In addition,  rental and earned income decreased  approximately $25,300
and  $29,000  during the  quarter  and nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,
respectively, as a result of the sale of the Property in Alpharetta, Georgia, in
June 1997. In July 1997, the Partnership  reinvested the net sales proceeds in a
Property in Englewood, Colorado, as tenants-in-common,  with an affiliate of the
general partners, as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  and  1996,  the
Partnership also earned $50,263 and $39,819,  respectively, in contingent rental
income,  $20,436  and  $19,321 of which was earned  during  the  quarters  ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The increase in  contingent  rental
income is primarily  attributable  to a change in the contingent rent formula in
accordance  with the terms of the  leases,  for  certain  restaurant  Properties
requiring the payment of contingent rental income.

Results of Operations - Continued

         For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
also  owned  and  leased  13   Properties   indirectly   through  joint  venture
arrangements.   The   Partnership   also  owned  and  leased  one   Property  as
tenants-in-common  with an  affiliate  of the general  partners  during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. In connection therewith, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Partnership earned $373,525 and $337,867,
respectively,  attributable  to net  income  earned  by  these  joint  ventures,
$148,487 and $116,220 of which was earned  during the quarters  ended  September
30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The  increase  in net income  earned by joint
ventures for the quarter and nine months ended  September  30, 1997 is primarily
due to the fact that in July  1997,  the  Partnership  reinvested  the net sales
proceeds it received from the sale of the Property in Alpharetta, Georgia, in an
IHOP Property  located in Englewood,  Colorado,  as  tenants-in-common,  with an
affiliate of the general partners.

         During  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1997,  five  of  the
Partnership's  lessees,  Carrols  Corporation,  TPI Restaurants,  Inc., Flagstar
Enterprises,  Inc., Golden Corral Corporation and Burger King Corporation,  each
contributed  more than ten  percent of the  Partnership's  total  rental  income
(including the Partnership's  share of rental income from 13 Properties owned by
joint ventures and one Property owned as tenants-in-common  with an affiliate of
the general  partners).  As of September 30, 1997,  Carrols  Corporation was the
lessee under leases relating to four restaurants, TPI Restaurants,  Inc. was the
lessee under leases relating to four restaurants, Flagstar Enterprises, Inc. was
the lessee under leases relating to six restaurants,  Golden Corral  Corporation
was the lessee under leases  relating to two  restaurants  and Burger King Corp.
was the  lessee  under  leases  relating  to the 13  restaurants  owned by joint
ventures.  It is anticipated that, based on the minimum rental payments required
by the leases,  these five  lessees or groups of  affiliated  lessees  each will
continue to contribute more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  total rental
income during the remainder of 1997 and subsequent  years.  In addition,  during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, four restaurant  chains,  Burger King,
Hardee's,  Golden Corral and Shoney's,  each accounted for more than ten percent
of the Partnership's  total rental income (including the Partnership's  share of
the rental  income from  thirteen  Properties  owned by joint  ventures  and one
Property owned as tenants-in-common  with an affiliate of the general partners).
During the remainder of 1997 and subsequent  years, it is anticipated that these
four  restaurant  chains each will continue to account for more than ten percent
of the total rental income to which the  Partnership is entitled under the terms
of its  leases.  Any  failure  of  these  lessees  or  restaurant  chains  could
materially affect the Partnership's income.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $372,413 and $347,850  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively,  of which  $113,038  and  $109,622  were  incurred  for the
quarters  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The  increase in
operating expenses during

Results of Operations - Continued

the nine months ended  September  30, 1997, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, is partially  attributable  to the fact that the Partnership
recorded  bad debt  expense  of  $21,000  relating  to the  Property  in  Copley
Township,  Ohio.  Due to the fact that the former  tenant  ceased  operating the
Property in April 1997, the general partners  believe  collection of this amount
is doubtful. In addition,  the increase in operating expenses during the quarter
and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  was due to the  fact  that  the
Partnership  recorded  past due real estate  taxes  relating to the  Property in
Copley Township,  Ohio, of $4,063 and $23,191 during the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The Partnership recorded $9,905 of such
expense  during the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase in
operating  expenses during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
as  compared  to the  quarter  and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  is
partially  offset  by a  decrease  in  accounting  and  administrative  expenses
associated with operating the Partnership and its Properties.

         As a result of the sale of the  Property  in  Alpharetta,  Georgia,  as
described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources", the Partnership recognized
a gain for financial reporting purposes of $199,643 during the nine months ended
September  30,  1997.  No  Properties  were sold  during the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996.
