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
national and regional  fast-food and family-style  restaurant chains. The leases
generally are 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 41 Properties,  which included  interests in 13 Properties
owned by joint  ventures in which the  Partnership  is a  co-venturer  and three
Properties owned with affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common.

Capital Resources

         The Partnership's primary source of capital during 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)  of  $1,380,882   and   $1,470,503,
respectively. The decrease in cash from operations for the six months ended June
30, 2000,  as compared to the six months ended June 30,  1999,  was  primarily a
result of changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

         In May 2000, the Partnership  sold its Property in  Williamsville,  New
York, to a third party for $715,000 and received net sales proceeds of $693,350,
resulting in a loss of $27,391 for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership
intends to reinvest these net sales proceeds in an additional Property.

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties and any net
sales proceeds held by the  Partnership  pending  reinvestment  in an additional
Property  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, to make distributions to the partners, or to reinvest in an additional
Property.  At June 30, 2000, the  Partnership  had  $1,435,736  invested in such
short-term  investments,  as compared to $936,506  at  December  31,  1999.  The
increase  in  cash  and  cash   equivalents  at  June  30,  2000  was  primarily
attributable  to  the  receipt  of net  sales  proceeds  from  the  sale  of the
Partnership's Property in Williamsville, New York, as described above. The funds
remaining  at June 30,  2000,  after  the  payment  of  distributions  and other
liabilities,  will be used to invest in an  additional  Property and to meet the
Partnership's working capital and other needs.

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 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  $1,023,198  at June 30, 2000,  from $994,295 at 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 operating  expenses of the Partnership,  to the extent that
the general partners  determine that such funds are available for  distribution.
Based on current and anticipated  future cash from  operations,  the Partnership
declared distributions to the 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 of the six
months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999 of $0.45 per unit ($0.23 per unit for each
applicable  quarter).  No distributions were made to the general partners during
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. No amounts  distributed
to the limited  partners  during 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, 1999,  the  Partnership  owned and
leased 28 wholly owned Properties (which included two Properties which were sold
during  1999),  and during the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership
owned and leased 26 wholly owned  Properties  (which included one Property which
was sold during  2000) 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 earned $1,164,063 and $1,178,486,  respectively, in rental
income from operating  leases,  earned income from direct  financing  leases and
contingent rental income from these  Properties,  $597,761 and $586,503 of which
was earned  during the  quarters  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.
Rental,  earned and  contingent  rental income  decreased  during the six months
ended  June 30,  2000,  as  compared  to the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999,
partially  as a result of the fact that  during  the six  months  ended June 30,
2000,  the  Partnership  established  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  of
approximately  $49,600  for past due rental  amounts  relating  to four  Denny's
Properties in accordance with the  Partnership's  policy.  The general  partners
will continue to pursue  collection of past due rental amounts relating to these
Properties and will  recognize  such amounts as income if collected.  The tenant
vacated two of these four  Properties  and  discontinued  operations  and making
rental  payments to the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  will not  recognize any
rental  income  relating  to  these  two  Properties  until  such  time  as  the
Partnership  executes  new  leases  or  until  the  Properties  are sold and the
proceeds  from such  sale are  reinvested  in  additional  Properties.  The lost
revenues  resulting from the two vacant  Properties could have an adverse effect
on the results of operations of the  Partnership if the  Partnership is not able
to re-lease these  Properties in a timely manner.  The  Partnership is currently
seeking a new tenant or purchaser for these Properties.

         In  addition,  the  decrease in rental,  earned and  contingent  rental
income  during  the six months  ended  June 30,  2000,  was  partially  due to a
decrease in rental and earned income of  approximately  $18,300,  as a result of
the sale of two  Properties  in 1999.  The decrease  during the six months ended
June 30, 2000, was partially offset by an increase of approximately  $51,000 due
to the fact  that the  Partnership  reinvested  a  portion  of these  net  sales
proceeds in a Property in Albany, Georgia, during 1999.

         In addition,  during the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  the
Partnership  earned  $26,901 and  $58,661,  respectively,  in interest and other
income,  $3,494 and $35,410 of which was earned  during the quarters  ended June
30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Interest and other income were higher  during
the quarter and six months ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2000,  primarily due to the fact that the  Partnership
earned  interest on the net sales proceeds  received from the sale of a Property
in March 1999, which the Partnership held in an  interest-bearing  account until
the proceeds were reinvested in an additional Property in November 1999.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership
also  owned  and  leased  13   Properties   indirectly   through  joint  venture
arrangements  and one  Property  with an  affiliate  of the general  partners as
tenants-in-common.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership
owned and  leased two  additional  Properties  with  affiliates  of the  general
partners as tenants-in-common.  In connection  therewith,  during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership  earned  $317,109 and  $284,057,
respectively,  $167,056  and  $148,155 of which was earned  during the  quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in net income earned by
joint  ventures  during the  quarter  and six months  ended  June 30,  2000,  as
compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, was primarily due to
the fact that  subsequent to June 30, 1999, the  Partnership  reinvested the net
sales  proceeds it received from a Property  sold in 1999, in two  Properties as
tenants-in-common with affiliates of the general partners.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $390,677 and $422,167  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  $184,222 and $227,496 of which were incurred  during the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999  respectively.  The decrease in operating  expenses
during the  quarter  and six months  ended June 30,  2000,  as  compared  to the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999,  was partially  attributable  to the
fact that the Partnership incurred less transaction costs related 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  during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2000 was  partially  offset by an increase in operating  expenses
due to the fact that during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,  the
Partnership  incurred  legal  fees,  insurance,  real  estate  tax  expense  and
maintenance  expense in connection with its Property in Williamsville,  New York
as a result of the  tenant of the  Property,  in 1998,  filing  for  bankruptcy,
rejecting  the  lease,  and  discontinuing  the  payment of rent  payments.  The
Partnership  continued  to incur these types of expenses  until the Property was
sold in May 2000, as described above in "Capital Resources."

         As a result of the sale of the Property in Williamsville,  New York, as
described above in "Capital  Resources,"  the  Partnership  recognized a loss of
$27,391 for financial  reporting  purposes  during the six months ended June 30,
2000.  Due to the fact that the  Partnership  recorded a loss during the quarter
ended  March  31,  2000  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles,  no loss was recorded  during the quarter  ended June 30,  2000.  In
addition, the Partnership sold two Properties during 1999 and recognized a total
gain of $75,997 for  financial  reporting  purposes  during the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

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

      Not applicable.


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 the case was Jon Hale, Mary J. Hewitt,  Charles
             A. Hewitt,  Gretchen M. Hewitt, Bernard J. Schulte,  Edward M.
             and Margaret Berol Trust,  and Vicky Berol v. James M. Seneff,
             Jr.,  Robert  A.  Bourne,  CNL  Realty  Corporation,  and  CNL
             American Properties Fund, Inc., Case No.
             CIO-99-0003561.

             On June 22,  1999,  a limited  partner of  several  CNL Income
             Funds served a purported  class action lawsuit filed April 29,
             1999  against  the  general  partners  and  APF,  Ira  Gaines,
             individually  and on  behalf of a class of  persons  similarly
             situated,  v. CNL American  Properties  Fund,  Inc.,  James M.
             Seneff,  Jr., Robert A. Bourne,  CNL Realty  Corporation,  CNL
             Fund  Advisors,  Inc.,  CNL  Financial  Corporation  a/k/a CNL
             Financial Corp., CNL Financial  Services,  Inc. and CNL Group,
             Inc., Case No. CIO-99-3796,  in the Circuit Court of the Ninth
             Judicial Circuit of Orange County, Florida,  alleging that the
             general partners  breached their fiduciary duties and that APF
             aided  and  abetted  their  breach  of  fiduciary   duties  in
             connection  with the proposed  merger.  The  plaintiff  sought
             unspecified damages and equitable relief.

             On September  23, 1999,  Judge  Lawrence  Kirkwood  entered an
             order consolidating the two cases under the caption In re: CNL
             Income Funds  Litigation,  Case No. 99-3561.  Pursuant to this
             order,  the plaintiffs in these cases filed a consolidated and
             amended  complaint on November 8, 1999.  On December 22, 1999,
             the general  partners  and CNL Group,  Inc.  filed  motions to
             dismiss and motions to strike.  On December 28, 1999,  APF and
             CNL Fund Advisors,  Inc. filed motions to dismiss. On March 6,
             2000,  all of the  defendants  filed a Joint  Notice of Filing
             Form 8-K Reports and Suggestion of Mootness.

             On April 25, 2000,  Judge Kirkwood  issued a Stipulated  Final
             Order of  Dismissal of  Consolidated  Action,  dismissing  the
             action  without  prejudice,  with  each  party to bear its own
             costs and attorneys' fees.
