                                     PART I


Item 1.  Business

         CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership which was organized pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on April 16, 1990. 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 September 9, 1991, the Partnership
offered for sale up to $40,000,000 of limited partnership interests (the
"Units") (4,000,000 Units at $10 per Unit) pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective March 20,
1991. The offering terminated on March 18, 1992, at which date the maximum
offering proceeds of $40,000,000 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, totalled
$35,200,000, and were used to acquire 47 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 the
year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership sold its Property in Denver,
Colorado, and reinvested the majority of the net sales proceeds in a Shoney's in
Fort Myers Beach, Florida. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the
Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales proceeds from the 1995 sale of
the Property in Denver, Colorado, in a Golden Corral Property located in
Clinton, North Carolina, with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common. As a result of the above transactions, as of December 31,
1996, the Partnership owned 48 Properties, including nine Properties owned by
joint ventures in which the Partnership is a co-venturer and one Property owned
with an affiliate as tenants-in-common. The Partnership leases the Properties on
a triple-net basis with the lessee 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. In general, the General Partners plan to seek the sale of some of
the Properties commencing seven to 12 years after their acquisition. 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 or joint venture
purchase options granted to certain lessees.

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. Generally, 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 14 to 20 years (the average being 18
years) and expire between 2006 and 2016. All 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 $26,200 to $198,500. All of the leases provide for percentage
rent, based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In addition, a majority of
the leases provide that, commencing in specified lease years (ranging from the
second to the sixth 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 five
five-year renewal options subject to the same terms and conditions as the
initial lease. Certain lessees 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. 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.

                                       1

<PAGE>

         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 the 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 March 1996, the lease relating to the Perkins Property in Ft.
Pierce, Florida, was amended to provide for reduced annual base rent through
January 1, 1997. In connection therewith, the tenant exercised its first
five-year renewal option, for which the renewal period shall commence on October
25, 2011, and shall expire on October 24, 2016. Total rental payments under the
amended lease will be greater than the original lease during the term of the
lease.

Major Tenants

         During 1996, three lessees (or group of affiliated lessees) of the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, (i) Golden Corral Corporation,
(ii) Foodmaker, Inc. and (iii) Flagstar Enterprises, Inc. and Denny's, Inc.
(which are affiliated entities under common control of Flagstar Corporation)
(hereinafter referred to as Flagstar Corporation), each contributed more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income (including rental income
from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of
rental income from eight Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and
one Property owned with affiliates as tenants-in-common). As of December 31,
1996, Golden Corral Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to four
restaurants, Foodmaker, Inc. was the lessee under leases relating to seven
restaurants and Flagstar Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to ten
restaurants. It is anticipated that based on the minimum rental payments
required by the leases, these three lessees (or groups of affiliated lessees)
each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of the Partnership's
total rental income in 1997 and subsequent years. In addition, six Restaurant
Chains, Golden Corral Family Steakhouse Restaurants ("Golden Corral"), Hardee's,
Perkins, Burger King, Shoney's and Jack in the Box, each accounted for more than
ten percent of the Partnership's total rental income during 1996 (including
rental income from the Partnership's consolidated joint venture and the
Partnership's share of rental income from eight Properties owned by
unconsolidated joint ventures and one Property owned with affiliates as
tenants-in-common). In subsequent years, it is anticipated that these six
Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than ten percent of the
Partnership's total rental 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. No single tenant or group of
affiliated tenants lease Properties with an aggregate carrying value, excluding
acquisition fees and certain acquisition expenses, in excess of 20 percent of
the total assets of the Partnership.

Joint Venture Arrangements

         The Partnership has entered into a joint venture arrangement, Allegan
Real Estate Joint Venture, with an unaffiliated entity to purchase and hold one
Property. In addition, the Partnership has entered into three separate joint
venture arrangements, CNL Restaurant Investments III, Ashland Joint Venture and
Williston Real Estate Joint Venture, with affiliates of the General Partners, to
purchase and hold eight Properties.

         The joint venture arrangements provide for the Partnership and its
joint venture partners to share in all costs and benefits associated with the
joint ventures in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the
joint ventures. The Partnership and its joint venture partners are also jointly
and severally liable for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the
joint ventures.

         CNL Restaurant Investments III's joint venture agreement does not
provide a fixed term, but continues in existence until terminated by either of
the joint venturers. Ashland Joint Venture has an initial term of 30 years and
Allegan Real Estate Joint Venture and Williston Real Estate Joint Venture each
have an initial term of 20 years and, after the expiration of the initial term,
each of the three joint ventures continues in existence from year to year unless
terminated at the option of any of the joint venturers 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 its joint venture partners
to dissolve the joint venture.

         The Partnership has management control of Allegan Real Estate Joint
Venture and shares management control equally with affiliates of the General
Partners for CNL Restaurant Investments III, Williston Real Estate Joint Venture
and Ashland 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 partners, 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.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         Net cash flow from operations of CNL Restaurant Investments III,
Allegan Real Estate Joint Venture, Ashland Joint Venture and Williston Real
Estate Joint Venture is distributed 50 percent, 88.26%, 10.51% and 41 percent,
respectively, to the Partnership and the balance is distributed to each of the
other joint venture partners in accordance with their respective percentage
interest 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.

         In addition to the above joint venture agreements, in January 1996, the
Partnership entered into an agreement to hold a Golden Corral Property as
tenants-in-common with affiliates of the General Partners. The agreement
provides for the Partnership and the affiliates to share in the profits and
losses of the Property in proportion to each co-venturer's percentage interest.
The Partnership owns a 13.37% interest in this Property.

Certain Management Services

         CNL Investment Company, an affiliate of the General Partners provided
certain services relating to management of the Partnership and its Properties
pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership through December 31,
1994. Under this agreement, CNL Investment Company was 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 Investment Company also assisted the General Partners in
negotiating the leases. For these services, the Partnership had agreed to pay
CNL Investment Company an annual fee of one percent of the sum of gross
operating 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, 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").

         Effective January 1, 1995, certain officers and employees of CNL
Investment Company became officers and employees of CNL Income Fund Advisors,
Inc., an affiliate of the General Partners, and CNL Investment Company assigned
its rights in, and its obligations under, the management agreement with the
Partnership to CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. In addition, effective October 1,
1995, CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. assigned its rights in, and its obligations
under, the management agreement with the Partnership to CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.
All of the terms and conditions of the management agreement, including the
payment of fees, as described above, remain unchanged.

         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.

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 which offer different types of food and service.

         At the time the Partnership elects to dispose of its Properties, other
than as a result of the exercise of tenant options to purchase Properties, the
Partnership will be in competition with other persons and entities to locate
purchasers for its Properties.

Employees

         The Partnership has no employees. The officers of CNL Realty
Corporation and the officers and employees 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 Group, Inc., a diversified real estate company, and its affiliates, who may
also perform certain services for the Partnership.


Item 2.  Properties

                                       3

<PAGE>

         As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned, either directly or
through joint venture arrangements, 48 Properties, located in 19 states.
Reference is made to the Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation
filed with this report 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 14,000
to 200,900 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.

         Buildings. Each of the Properties owned by the Partnership include a
building that is one of a Restaurant Chain's approved designs. The buildings
generally are rectangular and are constructed from various combinations of
stucco, steel, wood, brick and tile. Building sizes range from approximately
1,800 to 10,700 square feet. All buildings on Properties acquired by the
Partnership 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.

         Generally, a lessee is required, under the terms of its lease
agreement, to make such capital expenditures as may be reasonably necessary to
refurbish restaurant 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.

         Leases with Major Tenants.  The terms of the leases with the
Partnership's major tenants as of December 31, 1996 (see Item 1.  Business -
Major Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1.
Business - Leases.

         Golden Corral Corporation leases four Golden Corral restaurants. The
initial term of each lease is 15 years (expiring between 2007 and 2011) and the
average minimum base rent is approximately $156,900 (ranging from approximately
$88,100 to $198,500).

         Foodmaker, Inc. leases seven Jack in the Box restaurants. The initial
term of each lease is between 18 and 20 years (expiring between 2009 and 2012)
and the average minimum base rent is approximately $93,300 (ranging from
approximately $62,900 to $123,500).

         Flagstar Corporation leases eight Hardee's restaurants and two Denny's
restaurants. The initial term of each lease is 20 years (expiring in 2012) and
the average minimum base rent is approximately $68,200 (ranging from
approximately $43,500 to $111,800).

         The General Partners consider the Properties to be well-maintained and
sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         As of February 28, 1997, there were 3,529 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. Limited Partners
who wish to sell their Units may offer the Units for sale pursuant to the
Partnership's distribution reinvestment plan (the "Plan"), and Limited Partners
who wish to have their distributions used to acquire additional Units (to the
extent Units are available for purchase) may do so pursuant to such Plan. The
General Partners have the right to prohibit transfers of Units. Since inception,
the price for any Unit transferred pursuant to the Plan has been $9.50 per Unit.
The price to be paid for any Unit transferred other than pursuant to the Plan is
subject to negotiation by the purchaser and the selling Limited Partner. The
Partnership will not redeem or repurchase Units.

         The following table reflects, for each calendar quarter, the high, low
and average sales prices for transfers of Units during 1996 and 1995 other than
pursuant to the Plan, net of commissions (which ranged from zero to 29.57%).

(1)      A total of 26,865 and 40,383 Units were transferred other than pursuant
         to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
         respectively.

         The capital contribution per Unit was $10. 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, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership
declared cash distributions of $3,640,003 to the Limited Partners. During each
of the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership declared a
special distribution to the Limited Partners of $40,000 which represented
cumulative excess operating reserves. No amounts distributed to partners for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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. As indicated in
the chart below, these distributions were declared at the close of each of the
Partnership's calendar quarters. These amounts include monthly distributions
made in arrears for the Limited Partners electing to receive such distributions
on this basis.

         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 April 16, 1990, 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 triple-net leases, with the lessee generally responsible for all
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of December
31, 1996, the Partnership owned 48 Properties, either directly or indirectly
through joint venture arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Partnership's primary source of capital for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 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 $3,695,802,
$3,527,362 and $3,785,493 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in cash from operations during 1996, and the decrease
in 1995, each as compared


                                       6

<PAGE>


to the prior year, were primarily a result of changes in income and expenses as
discussed in "Results of Operations" below and changes in the Partnership's
working capital during each of the respective years.

         Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

         In July 1995, the Partnership sold a small parcel of land as a result
of an easement relating to its Property in Hendersonville, North Carolina, for
$7,200, resulting in a gain of $1,112 for financial reporting purposes. In
addition, in August 1995, the Partnership sold its Property in Denver, Colorado,
for $1,057,000 and received net sales proceeds of $1,050,186, resulting in a
gain of $66,102 for financial reporting purposes. This Property was originally
acquired by the Partnership in December 1991 and had a cost of approximately
$977,000, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses;
therefore, the Partnership sold the Property for approximately $73,200 in excess
of its original purchase price. In September 1995, the Partnership reinvested
$928,122 in a Shoney's in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

         In October 1995, the tenant of the Partnership's Property located in
Austin, Texas, entered into a sublease agreement for a vacant parcel of land
under which the subtenant has the option to purchase such land. The subtenant
exercised the purchase option and in accordance with the terms of the sublease
agreement, the tenant assigned the purchase contract, together with the purchase
contract payment of $69,000 from the subtenant, to the Partnership. As of
February 28, 1997, the sale for the vacant parcel of land had not been
consummated and as a result, the net proceeds of $68,000 (representing the
original $69,000 received by the Partnership, less $1,000 in costs incurred in
anticipation of the sale) were recorded as a deposit at December 31, 1996.

         In January 1996, the Partnership reinvested the remaining net sales
proceeds from the 1995 sale of the Property in Denver, Colorado, and the
proceeds from the granting of an easement relating to the Property in
Hendersonville, North Carolina, in a Golden Corral Property located in Clinton,
North Carolina, with affiliates of the General Partners as tenants-in-common. In
connection therewith, the Partnership and its affiliates entered into an
agreement whereby each co-venturer will share in the profits and losses of the
Property in proportion to its applicable percentage interest. As of December 31,
1996, the Partnership owned a 13.37% interest in this Property.

         None of the Properties owned by the Partnership or the joint ventures
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 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 partners. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $1,769,483
invested in such short-term investments as compared to $1,832,853 at December
31, 1995. The funds remaining at December 31, 1996, after payment of
distributions and other liabilities, will be used to meet the Partnership's
working capital and other needs.

         During 1996, 1995 and 1994, affiliates of the General Partners incurred
$112,363, $100,249 and $87,584, respectively, for certain operating expenses. As
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership owed $1,609 and $7,004,
respectively, to affiliates for such amounts and accounting and administrative
services. As of February 28, 1997, the Partnership had reimbursed the affiliates
all such amounts. Other liabilities increased to $1,148,901 at December 31,
1996, from $1,092,517 at December 31, 1995. The General Partners believe that
the Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital
needs.

         Based on cash from operations, and cumulative excess operating reserves
the Partnership declared distributions to the Limited Partners of $3,640,003 for
each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and $3,625,017 for the year
ended December 31, 1994. This represents distributions of $0.91 per Unit for
each of the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. No amounts distributed
or to be distributed to the Limited Partners for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, 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.

                                       7

         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.

         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 purpose, 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.

Results of Operations

         During 1994, the Partnership owned and leased 38 wholly owned
Properties, during 1995, the Partnership owned and leased 39 wholly owned
Properties (including one Property in Denver, Colorado, which was sold in August
1995) and during 1996, the Partnership owned and leased 38 wholly owned
Properties. In addition, during 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership was a
co-venturer in three separate joint ventures that each owned and leased one
Property and one joint venture which owned and leased six Properties. During
1996, the Partnership also owned and leased one Property with affiliates as
tenants-in-common. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owned, either
directly or through joint venture arrangements 48 Properties which are 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 $26,200 to $198,500. All of the leases provide for percentage
rent based on sales in excess of a specified amount. In addition, a majority of
the leases provide that, commencing in specified lease years (ranging from the
second to the sixth 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership and its consolidated joint venture, Allegan Real Estate Joint
Venture, earned $3,481,139, $3,474,227 and $3,594,186, respectively, in rental
income from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases.
Rental and earned income decreased approximately $81,500 during 1995, as
compared to 1994, as a result of the fact that in May 1995, the tenant of the
Property in Denver, Colorado, ceased operations of the restaurant business
located at the Property and the Partnership terminated the lease agreement. In
connection therewith, during the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership
also wrote off approximately $41,500 of accrued rental income amounts previously
recorded (due to the fact that future scheduled rent increases are recognized on
a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) relating to this Property. The Partnership sold
this Property in August 1995. The decrease in rental and earned income during
1995, as compared to 1994, was partially offset by an increase of approximately
$38,300 in rental and earned income due to the Partnership reinvesting the
majority of the sales proceeds from the sale of the Property in Denver,
Colorado, in a Shoney's Property in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, in September
1995, as described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources." During 1996,
rental and earned income increased by approximately $83,600 as a result of the
Shoney's Property in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, being operational for a full
year.

         Rental and earned income decreased approximately $53,400 during 1996,
as compared to 1995, due to the fact that in March 1996, the lease relating to
the Perkins Property in Ft. Pierce, Florida, was amended to provide for reduced
annual base rent from an effective date of October 1, 1995 through January 1,
1997. The Partnership does not anticipate that these reduced rents will have a
material effect on operations. As a result of the lease amendment, the building
portion of the lease was reclassified from a direct financing lease to an
operating lease.

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership also earned $45,126, $53,189 and $99,616, respectively, in
contingent rental income. Contingent rental income for the years ended December
31, 1996 and


                                       8

<PAGE>


1995, each as compared to the previous year, decreased primarily as a result of
decreased gross sales of certain restaurant Properties that are subject to
leases requiring payment of contingent rental income.

         For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
also earned $278,371, $267,799 and $271,512, respectively, attributable to net
income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Partnership is a
co-venturer. The increase in net income earned by unconsolidated joint ventures
is primarily attributable to the Partnership investing in a Property in Clinton,
North Carolina, in January 1996, with affiliates of the General Partners as
tenants-in-common, as described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, three lessees
(or group of affiliated lessees), of the Partnership and its consolidated joint
venture, (i) Golden Corral Corporation, (ii) Foodmaker, Inc. and (iii) Flagstar
Enterprises, Inc. and Denny's, Inc. (which are affiliated entities under common
control of Flagstar Corporation)(hereinafter referred to as Flagstar
Corporation), each contributed more than ten percent of the Partnership's total
rental income (including rental income from the Partnership's consolidated joint
venture and the Partnership's share of rental income from eight Properties owned
by unconsolidated joint ventures and one Property owned with affiliates as
tenants-in-common). As of December 31, 1996, Golden Corral Corporation was the
lessee under leases relating to four restaurants, Foodmaker, Inc. was the lessee
under leases relating to seven restaurants and Flagstar Corporation was the
lessee under leases relating to ten restaurants. It is anticipated that based on
the minimum rental payments required by the leases, these three lessees (or
groups of affiliated lessees) each will continue to contribute more than ten
percent of the Partnership's total rental income during 1997 and subsequent
years. In addition, six Restaurant Chains, Golden Corral Family Steakhouse
Restaurants ("Golden Corral"), Hardee's, Perkins, Burger King, Shoney's and Jack
in the Box, each accounted for more than ten percent of the Partnership's total
rental income during 1996 (including rental income from the Partnership's
consolidated joint venture and the Partnership's share of rental income from
eight Properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures and one Property owned
with affiliates as tenants-in-common). In subsequent years, it is anticipated
that these six Restaurant Chains each will continue to account for more than ten
percent of the Partnership's total rental 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.

         Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $410,057, $390,926 and $347,448 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The increase in operating expenses during 1996 and 1995,
each as compared to the previous year, is primarily the result of an increase in
accounting and administrative expenses associated with operating the Partnership
and its Properties and an increase in insurance expense as a result of the
General Partners' obtaining contingent liability and property coverage for the
Partnership as discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources." In addition
operating expenses increased during 1996, as compared to 1995, as a result of
the reclassification of the building portion of the lease relating to the
Perkins Property in Ft. Pierce, Florida, from a direct financing lease to an
operating lease during 1996, as discussed above. The increase in operating
expenses during 1996, as compared to 1995, is partially offset by a state tax
refund from the State of New Hampshire for taxes paid in 1993.

         The increase in operating expenses during 1995, as compared to 1994,
was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of the
sale of the Property in Denver, Colorado, as discussed in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

         As a result of the granting of an easement relating to the Property in
Hendersonville, North Carolina, and the sale of the Property in Denver,
Colorado, as described above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources", the
Partnership recognized a gain for financial reporting purposes of $67,214 during
the year ended December 31, 1995. No Properties were sold during the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1994.

         Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The statement
requires that an entity review long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles, to be held and used, for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. Adoption of this standard had no material effect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

         The Partnership's leases as of December 31, 1996, are 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. Management expects that increases in restaurant sales volumes due to
inflation and real sales growth


                                       9

<PAGE>


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.

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CNL Income Fund X, Ltd. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows

with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

                        (A Florida Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

1.       Significant Accounting Policies:

         Organization and Nature of Business - CNL Income Fund X, 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
         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 - CONTINUED

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994


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.

         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, a loss will be
         recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset
         exceeds its fair market value.

         Investment in Joint Ventures - The Partnership accounts for its 88.26%
         interest in Allegan Real Estate 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.

         The Partnership's investments in CNL Restaurant Investments III,
         Williston Real Estate Joint Venture, Ashland Joint Venture and a
         property in Clinton, North Carolina, held as tenants-in-common, 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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         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.

         Organization Costs - Organization costs were amortized over five years
         using the straight-line method.

         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. Actual results could differ from those
         estimates.

         New Accounting Standard - Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership
         adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to Be Disposed Of." The statement requires that an entity review
         long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, to be held and
         used, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
         indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
         Adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Partnership's
         financial position or results of operations.

2.       Leases:

         The Partnership leases its land and buildings 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." Twelve of the leases have
         been classified as operating leases and 27 of the 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
         19 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 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 five 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.

3.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases:

         Land and buildings on operating leases consisted of the following at
         December 31:

         In July 1995, the Partnership sold a small parcel of land as a result
         of an easement relating to its property in Hendersonville, North
         Carolina, for $7,200, resulting in a gain of $1,112 for financial
         reporting purposes. In addition, in August 1995, the Partnership sold
         its property in Denver, Colorado, for $1,057,000 and received net sales
         proceeds of $1,050,186, resulting in a gain of $66,102 for financial
         reporting purposes. This property was originally acquired by

3.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases - Continued:

         the Partnership in December 1991 and had a cost of approximately
         $977,000, excluding acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition
         expenses; therefore, the Partnership sold the property for
         approximately $73,200 in excess of its original purchase price. In
         September 1995, the Partnership reinvested $928,122 of net sales
         proceeds in land and building of a Shoney's in Fort Myers Beach,
         Florida.

         Some leases provide for escalating guaranteed minimum rents throughout
         the lease term. 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
         recognized $315,029, $309,574 and $372,348, respectively, of such
         rental income.

         The following is a schedule of the future minimum lease payments to be
         received on noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 1996:

                  1997                  $ 1,708,776

                                        ===========

         Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the
         tenant, the above table only presents future minimum lease payments due
         during the initial lease terms. In addition, this table does not
         include any amounts for future contingent rentals which may be received
         on the leases based on a percentage of the tenant's gross sales.

         The above table does not include future minimum lease payments for
         renewal periods or for contingent rental payments that may become due
         in future periods (see Note 3).

         During the year ended December 31, 1996, one of the Partnership's
         leases was amended. As a result of the lease amendment, the Partnership
         reclassified this lease from a direct financing lease to an operating
         lease, whereby the property was recorded at its net carrying value of
         $567,923. Due to the fact that the net carrying value was less than the
         cost of the property, no loss was recorded for financial reporting
         purposes.

5.       Investment in Joint Ventures:

         The Partnership has a 50 percent, a 10.51% and a 41 percent interest in
         the profits and losses of CNL Restaurant Investments III, Ashland Joint
         Venture and Williston Real Estate Joint Venture, respectively. The
         remaining interests in these joint ventures are held by affiliates of
         the Partnership which have the same general partners.

         In January 1996, the Partnership acquired and leased a property in
         Clinton, North Carolina, as tenants-in-common with affiliates of the
         general partners. The Partnership accounts for its investment in this
         property using the equity method since the Partnership shares control
         with affiliates, and amounts relating to its investment are included in
         investment in joint ventures. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership
         owned a 13.37% interest in this property.

         CNL Restaurant Investments III owns and leases six properties to an
         operator of national fast-food restaurants. Ashland Joint Venture and
         Williston Real Estate Joint Venture each own and lease one property to
         an operator of national fast-food or family-style restaurants. The
         following presents the joint ventures' combined, condensed financial
         information at December 31:

6.       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, 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 is, in general,
         allocated in the same manner as net sales proceeds are distributable.
         Any loss from the sale of a property 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.

         During each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
         Partnership declared distributions to the limited partners of
         $3,640,003 and during the year ended December 31, 1994, the Partnership
         declared distributions to the limited partners of $3,625,017. No
         distributions have been made to the general partners to date.

8.       Related Party Transactions:

         One of the individual general partners, James M. Seneff, Jr., is one of
         the principal shareholders of CNL Group, Inc., the parent company of
         CNL Investment Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. The other individual
         general partner, Robert A. Bourne, is the president of CNL Investment
         Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. was
         a wholly owned subsidiary of CNL Group, Inc. until its merger,
         effective January 1, 1996, with CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. During the
         years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, CNL Investment Company,
         CNL Income Fund Advisors, Inc. and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (hereinafter
         referred to collectively as the "Affiliates") each performed certain
         services for the Partnership, as described below.

         During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, certain
         Affiliates acted as manager of the Partnership's properties pursuant to
         a management agreement with the Partnership. In connection therewith,
         the Partnership agreed to pay the Affiliates an annual, non-cumulative,
         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, but not in
         excess of competitive fees for comparable services. These fees will
         incurred and will be payable only after the limited partners receive
         their 10% Preferred Return. Due to the fact that these fees are
         non-cumulative, if the limited partners do not receive their 10%
         Preferred Return in any particular year, no management fees 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, 1996, 1995 and
         1994.

         Certain Affiliates are 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
         Affiliates provide 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. In addition, the real estate disposition fee
         is subordinated to receipt by the limited partners of their aggregate
         10% Preferred Return, plus their adjusted capital contributions. No
         deferred, subordinated real estate disposition fees have been incurred
         since inception.

         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.

10.      Commitments and Contingencies:

         In October 1995, the tenant of the Partnership's property located in
         Austin, Texas, entered into a sublease agreement for a vacant parcel of
         land under which the subtenant has the option to purchase such land.
         The subtenant exercised the purchase option and in accordance with the
         terms of the sublease agreement, the tenant assigned the purchase
         contract, together with the purchase contract payment of $69,000, from
         the subtenant, to the Partnership. As of December 31, 1996, the sale
         for the vacant parcel of land had not been consummated and as a result,
         the net proceeds of $68,000 (representing the original $69,000 received
         by the Partnership, less $1,000 in costs incurred in anticipation of
         the sale) were recorded as a deposit at December 31, 1996. The contract
         price of $69,000 exceeds the Partnership's cost attributable to the
         parcel of land.
