         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

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 March 31, 2000,
the Partnership owned 42 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  generated cash from  operations  (which includes cash
received from tenants, distributions from joint ventures, and interest and other
income  received,  less cash paid for expenses)  during the quarters ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, of $755,499 and $785,344,  respectively. The decrease in cash
from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the quarter
ended March 31,  1999,  was  primarily a result of changes in the  Partnership's
working capital.

         Currently,  rental income from the Partnership's Properties is 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 March 31, 2000,  the  Partnership  had  $904,504  invested in such
short-term investments,  as compared to $936,506 at December 31, 1999. The funds
remaining  at  March  31,  2000,  will be used to pay  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 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.

         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  $787,501  for each of the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. This represents  distributions  for each
applicable  quarter of $0.23 per unit. No distributions were made to the general
partners for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. No amounts  distributed
to the  limited  partners  for the  quarters  ended  March 31, 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.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased to $1,057,996  at March 31, 2000,  from $994,295 at December 31, 1999,
primarily as a result of an increase in escrowed  real estate taxes  payable and
an  increase  in rents paid in advance at March 31, 2000 as compared to December
31, 1999.  Total  liabilities  at March 31, 2000, to the extent they exceed cash
and cash  equivalents  at March 31,  2000,  will be paid from  future  cash from
operations  and,  in the event the  general  partners  elect to make  additional
contributions, from general partners' contributions.

         In March  2000,  the  Partnership  entered  into an  agreement  with an
unrelated third party to sell the Perkins Property in  Williamsville,  New York.
As of May 1, 2000, the sale had not occurred.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Results of Operations

         During the quarter  ended March 31,  1999,  the  Partnership  owned and
leased 28 wholly owned Properties (which included two Properties which were sold
during 1999), and during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership owned
and leased 26 wholly owned Properties to operators of fast-food and family-style
restaurant chains. In connection therewith,  during the quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, the Partnership  earned $566,302 and $591,983,  respectively,  in
rental income from operating leases,  earned income from direct financing leases
and  contingent  rental income from these  Properties.  Rental and earned income
decreased  during the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  as compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 1999,  primarily as a result of the Partnership  establishing an
allowance  for doubtful  accounts of  approximately  $49,600 for past due rental
amounts relating to four 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.

         In addition,  the decrease in rental,  earned,  and  contingent  rental
income during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 1999,  was  partially due to a decrease in rental and earned income of
approximately  $31,600,  as a result of the sale of two  Properties in 1999. The
decrease was offset by an increase of approximately $39,300 due to the fact that
the Partnership  reinvested a portion of the net sales proceeds in a Property in
Albany, Georgia, during 1999.




<PAGE>


         The decrease in rental,  earned and  contingent  rental income was also
partially  offset by an increase  of  approximately  $11,700  during the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, due to the fact that the Partnership  recorded  contingent
rental  amounts  during quarter ended March 31, 2000 for the property in Albany,
Georgia purchased in 1999.

         For the quarter ended March 31, 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  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000,  the  Partnership  owned and  leased  two
additional   Properties   with   affiliates   of   the   general   partners   as
tenants-in-common.  In connection therewith, during the quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership  earned  $150,053 and  $135,902,  respectively,
attributable to net income earned by these joint  ventures.  The increase in net
income  earned by joint  ventures  during the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1999, was primarily due to the fact that
subsequent to March 31, 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  $206,455  and  $194,671  for the  quarters  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         As a result of the 1999  sales of the  Properties  in  Corpus  Christi,
Texas and  Rochester,  New York,  the  Partnership  recognized  a total  gain of
$75,997 for  financial  reporting  purposes  during the quarter  ended March 31,
1999. No Properties were sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

         During the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  the  Partnership  recorded a
provision for loss on building in the amount of $27,391, for financial reporting
purposes relating to the Perkins Property in Williamsville, New York. The tenant
of this  property  filed for  bankruptcy  and ceased  payment of rents under the
terms of its lease  agreement.  The allowance at March 31, 2000  represents  the
difference  between the carrying value of the Property at March 31, 2000 and the
current estimate of net realizable value for this Property.

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.

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 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.

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
             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. As amended,  the
             caption of the case is 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  is seeking  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.
