         The Form 10-K of CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd. for the year ended  December
31,  1997 is being  amended  to  provide  additional  disclosure  under  Item 1.
Business, Item 2. Properties and Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations - Capital  Resources,  Short-Term
Liquidity and Long-Term Liquidity.


                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

         CNL Income Fund XII, Ltd. (the "Registrant" or the  "Partnership") is a
limited  partnership  which was  organized  pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida on August 20, 1991. 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  29, 1992,  the
Partnership offered for sale up to $45,000,000 of limited partnership  interests
(the  "Units")  (4,500,000  Units at $10 per Unit)  pursuant  to a  registration
statement on Form S-11 under the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  effective
March 12, 1992.  The offering  terminated  on March 15, 1993,  at which date the
maximum  offering  proceeds of $45,000,000  had been received from investors who
were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners ("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
$39,615,456,  and were used to acquire 48  Properties,  including  interests  in
three  Properties  owned  by  joint  ventures  in  which  the  Partnership  is a
co-venturer,  to loan  $208,855 to the tenant of  Kingsville  Real Estate  Joint
Venture (as  described in Note 6 to the  financial  statements in Item 8 of this
report) and to establish a working  capital  reserve for  Partnership  purposes.
During the year ended  December 31, 1996, the  Partnership  sold its Property in
Houston, Texas, and reinvested the sales proceeds,  along with additional funds,
in  Middleburg  Joint  Venture.  As a  result  of the  above  transactions,  the
Partnership  owned 48  Properties  as of December  31, 1997.  The 48  Properties
include  interests  in four  Properties  owned by joint  ventures  in which  the
Partnership  is  co-venturer.   The  Partnership  leases  the  Properties  on  a
triple-net  basis with the lessees  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

                                                         1

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
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.  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 19 years),  and expire  between
2007  and  2016.  All  leases  are  on a  triple-net  basis,  with  the  lessees
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 $46,900 to
$213,800. The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent, based on sales
in excess of a specified amount.  In addition,  some of the leases provide that,
commencing in specified lease years (generally 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  four
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.

         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 June 1996,  the tenant of the Sizzler  Property  in Tempe,  Arizona,
declared  bankruptcy and ceased operations of the restaurant business located on
the Property.  In March 1997, the Partnership  entered into a new lease for this
Property and in connection therewith,  incurred $55,000 in renovation costs. The
renovations  were  completed in May 1997.  The lease terms for this Property are
substantially the same as the  Partnership's  other leases as described above in
the first two paragraphs of this section.

Major Tenants


         During  1997,  three  lessees (or group of  affiliated  lessees) of the
Partnership,  (i) Long John  Silver's,  Inc.,  (ii)  Foodmaker,  Inc.  and (iii)
Flagstar Enterprises,  Inc., Denny's, Inc. and Quincy's Restaurants, 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   the
Partnership's  share  of  rental  income  from  four  Properties  owned by joint
ventures).  As of December 31,  1997,  Long John  Silver's,  Inc. was the lessee
under leases relating to eight restaurants, Foodmaker, Inc. was the lessee under
leases relating to ten restaurants and Flagstar Corporation was the lessee under
leases relating to 15 restaurants.  It is anticipated  that based on the minimum
rental  payments  required  by the  leases,  these  three  lessees  or  group of
affiliated lessees each will continue to contribute more than ten percent of the
Partnership's  total rental income in 1998 and  subsequent  years.  In addition,
four  Restaurant  Chains,  Long  John  Silver's,  Hardee's,  Jack in the Box and
Denny's,  each  accounted for more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  total
rental income during 1997  (including the  Partnership's  share of rental income
from four  Properties  owned by joint  ventures).  In  subsequent  years,  it is
anticipated that these four 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.
As of December 31, 1997,  Foodmaker,  Inc. and Flagstar  Corporation each leased
Properties with an aggregate carrying value in excess of 20 percent of the total
assets of the Partnership.

Joint Venture Arrangements


         The   Partnership   has  entered  into  four  separate   joint  venture
arrangements:  Williston Real Estate Joint Venture with CNL Income Fund X, Ltd.,
an  affiliate of the General  Partners,  to hold one  Property;  Des Moines Real
Estate  Joint  Venture  with CNL Income Fund VII,  Ltd.  and CNL Income Fund XI,
Ltd., affiliates of the General Partners , to hold one Property; Kingsville Real
Estate Joint  Venture with CNL Income Fund IV, Ltd., an affiliate of the General
Partners,  to hold one Property;  and  Middleburg  Joint Venture with CNL Income
Fund VIII, Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partners,  to purchase and hold one
Property.  Each of the affiliates is a limited partnership organized pursuant to
the laws of the State of Florida.

         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  has a 59 percent  interest in Williston Real
Estate  Joint  Venture,  an 18.61%  interest  in Des Moines  Real  Estate  Joint
Venture, a 31.13% interest in Kingsville Real Estate Joint Venture and an 87.54%
interest in Middleburg Joint Venture. The

                                                         3

<PAGE>



Partnership and its joint venture partners are also jointly and severally liable
for all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the joint ventures.

         Each  joint  venture  has an initial  term of 20 years  and,  after the
expiration of the initial term,  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  shares  management  control equally with affiliates of
the  General  Partners  for each 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.

         Net cash flow from  operations of Williston  Real Estate Joint Venture,
Des Moines Real Estate Joint Venture,  Kingsville  Real Estate Joint Venture and
Middleburg Joint Venture is distributed 59 percent,  18.61%,  31.13% and 87.54%,
respectively,  to the  Partnership and the balance is distributed to each of the
joint venture partners in accordance with its 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.


         The use of joint venture  arrangements  allows the Partnership to fully
invest its available funds at times at which it would not have sufficient  funds
to purchase an additional  property,  or at times when a suitable opportunity to
purchase an  additional  property  is not  available.  The use of joint  venture
arrangements also provides the Partnership with increased diversification of its
portfolio among a greater number of properties.


Certain Management Services

         CNL Income Fund Advisors,  Inc., 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, 1995.  Under this  agreement,  CNL Income Fund  Advisors,  Inc. 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 Income Fund  Advisors,  Inc. also
assisted the General Partners in negotiating the leases. For these services,

                                                         4

<PAGE>

the Partnership  had agreed to pay CNL Income Fund Advisors,  Inc. an annual fee
of one percent of the sum of gross rental 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.

         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.

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


         As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned 48 Properties. Of the 48
Properties,  44 are owned by the  Partnership  in fee  simple and four are owned
through  joint  venture  arrangements.  See  Item 1.  Business  - Joint  Venture
Arrangements.  The Partnership is not permitted to encumber its Properties under
the terms of its  partnership  agreement.  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  9,200
to 467,400  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.


         The following table lists the Properties owned by the Partnership as of
December 31, 1997 by state. More detailed information  regarding the location of
the  Properties  is  contained  in the  Schedule of Real Estate and  Accumulated

         Buildings.  Each of the Properties owned by the Partnership  includes 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
2,100 to 11,400 square feet.  All buildings on Properties 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. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had no plans for
renovation of the Properties. Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and
improvements using the straight line method using a depreciable life of 40 years
for federal  income tax purposes.  As of December 31, 1997,  the aggregate  cost
basis of the Properties  owned by the Partnership and joint ventures for federal
income tax purposes was $36,384,555 and $4,397,441, respectively.

         The General Partners consider the Properties to be

well-maintained and sufficient for the Partnership's operations.

         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.


         Leases.  The Partnership leases the Properties to operators of selected
national and regional fast-food restaurant chains. The leases are generally on a
long-term  "triple  net"  basis,  meaning  that the  tenant is  responsible  for
repairs,  maintenance,  property taxes,  utilities and insurance.  Generally,  a
lessee is required, under the terms of its lease agreement, to make such capital
expenditures as may be reasonably  necessary to refurbish  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.  The terms of the leases of the
Properties owned by the Partnership are described in Item 1. Business - Leases.

         At December 31, 1997,  1995,  1994, and 1993 all of the Properties were
occupied. At December 31, 1996, 98% of the Properties were leased. The following
is a  schedule  of the  average  annual  rent for each of the five  years  ended

      Leases  with  Major  Tenants.  The  terms of each of the  leases  with the
Partnership's  major tenants as of December 31, 1997 (see Item 1. Business Major
Tenants), are substantially the same as those described in Item 1.
Business - Leases.

      Flagstar  Corporation  leases  11  Hardee's  restaurants,   three  Denny's
restaurants,  and one Quincy's restaurant.  The initial term of each lease is 20
years (expiring  between 2012 and 2013) and the average minimum base annual rent
is approximately $77,900 (ranging from approximately $51,400 to $128,800).

      Long John Silver's, Inc. leases eight Long John Silver's restaurants.  The
initial term of each lease is 20 years (expiring  between 2012 and 2013) and the
average  minimum  base  annual  rent  is  approximately  $70,000  (ranging  from
approximately $61,600 to $76,300).

      Foodmaker,  Inc. leases ten Jack in the Box restaurants.  The initial term
of each  lease is 18 years  (expiring  between  2010 and 2011)  and the  average
minimum base annual rent is approximately  $98,200  (ranging from  approximately
$75,900 to $123,400).




 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 offering 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.

                                     PART II


Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

      The  Partnership  was  organized on August 20, 1991,  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 lessees  generally  responsible for all
repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities. As of December
31, 1997, the Partnership owned 48 Properties,  either directly or through joint
venture arrangements.


 Capital Resources


      The  Partnership's  primary source of capital for the years ended December
31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 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  $3,806,988,  $3,951,689  and
$3,819,362 for the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.
The decrease in cash from  operations  during 1997, as compared to 1996, and the
increase  during 1996, as compared to 1995, are primarily a result of changes in
income and expenses as described 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, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

      In April 1996, the Partnership sold its Property in Houston,  Texas, to an
unrelated  third  party for  $1,640,000.  As a result of this  transaction,  the
Partnership  recognized  a loss of  $15,355  for  financial  reporting  purposes
primarily due to acquisition fees and  miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses that
the  Partnership  had allocated to this Property.  In May 1996, the  Partnership
reinvested the sales proceeds from this sale,  along with  additional  funds, in
Middleburg Joint Venture.  The Partnership has an 87.54% interest in the profits
and losses of Middleburg Joint Venture and the remaining  interest in this joint
venture is held by an  affiliate of the  Partnership  which has the same General
Partners.

      In March 1997, the  Partnership  entered into a new lease for the Property
in Tempe, Arizona. In connection therewith,  the Partnership incurred $55,000 in
renovation  costs during the year ended December 31, 1997. The renovations  were
completed in may 1997.

      None of the Properties  owned by the  Partnership or the joint ventures in
which the  Partnership  owns an interest,  is or may be  encumbered.  Subject to
certain restrictions on borrowing, however, the Partnership may borrow funds but
will not encumber any of the Properties in connection  with any such  borrowing.
The  Partnership  will not borrow for the  purpose of  returning  capital to the
Limited Partners.  The Partnership will not borrow under arrangements that would
make the Limited Partners liable to

                                                        12

<PAGE>



creditors of the Partnership. The General Partners further have represented that
they will use their  reasonable  efforts to structure  any  borrowing so that it
will not constitute  "acquisition  indebtedness" for federal income tax purposes
and also will limit the Partnership's  outstanding indebtedness to three percent
of the aggregate adjusted tax basis of its Properties. 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 and net sales
proceeds  from the sale of  Properties,  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, CDs 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 partners.  At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had $1,706,415
invested in such  short-term  investments  as compared to $1,800,601 at December
31,  1996.  As of December  31, 1997,  the average  interest  rate earned on the
rental  income  deposited in demand  deposit  accounts at  commercial  banks was
approximately three percent annually.  The funds remaining at December 31, 1997,
after payment of distributions and other  liabilities,  will be used 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 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 purposes,  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.

                                                        13

<PAGE>




      The Partnership generally distributes cash from operations remaining after
the payment of the operating expenses of the Partnership, to the extent that the
General Partners determine that such funds are available for distribution. Based
on cash from operations,  the Partnership declared  distributions to the Limited
Partners of $3,825,008  for each of the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and  $3,870,007  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.  This  represents  a
distribution of $0.85 per Unit for each of the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996,  and $0.86 per Unit for the year  ended  December  31,  1995.  No  amounts
distributed  or to be  distributed  to the Limited  Partners for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 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.  The  Partnership
intends to continue to make  distributions of cash available for distribution to
the Limited Partners on a quarterly basis.


      During  1997,  1996 and  1995,  affiliates  of the  General  Partners
incurred  on  behalf  of  the  Partnership   $97,078,   $118,929  and  $105,019,
respectively,  for certain operating expenses. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
the  Partnership  owed $6,887 and $2,981,  respectively,  to affiliates for such
amounts and accounting and administrative services. As of February 28, 1998, the
Partnership  had reimbursed the affiliates all such amounts.  Other  liabilities
including  distributions  payable  decreased to $1,006,791 at December 31, 1997,
from  $1,050,051 at December 31, 1996,  primarily as the result of a decrease in
rents paid in advance at December 31, 1997.  The General  Partners  believe that
the  Partnership has sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital
needs.


Long-Term Liquidity

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


Results of Operations

        During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership owned
and leased 45 wholly owned Properties (including one Property in Houston, Texas,
which was sold in April 1996).  During 1997, the Partnership owned and leased 44
wholly  owned  Properties.  In  addition,  during 1995,  the  Partnership  was a
co-venturer  in three  separate  joint  ventures  that each owned and leased one
Property,  and during 1996 and 1997, the  Partnership  was a co-venturer in four
separate joint ventures that each owned and leased one Property.  As of December
31, 1997,  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  payments
(payable  in  monthly   installments)  ranging  from  approximately  $46,900  to
$213,800.  The majority of the leases provide for percentage rent based on sales
in excess of a specified amount.  In addition,  some of the leases provide that,
commencing in specified lease years

                                                        14

(generally 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, 1997,  1996 and 1995, the  Partnership
earned  $4,102,842,  $4,165,640 and $4,330,100,  respectively,  in rental income
from  operating  leases and earned  income  from  direct  financing  leases from
Properties  wholly owned by the  Partnership.  The decrease in rental and earned
income during 1997 and 1996, each as compared to the previous year, is primarily
attributable  to a decrease of  approximately  $51,800 and  $136,500  during the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, as a result of the sale of
the Property in Houston,  Texas,  in April 1996, as discussed  above in "Capital
Resources."

      In addition, rental and earned income also decreased approximately $23,500
and $39,800  during 1997 and 1996,  each as compared to the previous  year, as a
result of the fact that the tenant of the Property in Tempe,  Arizona,  declared
bankruptcy  and ceased  operations  of the  restaurant  business  located on the
Property in June 1996. As a result of the termination of this lease,  during the
year ended December 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  reclassified  this lease from a
direct  financing  lease to an operating  lease.  In March 1997, the Partnership
entered into a new lease for the Property in Tempe, Arizona with a new tenant to
operate the  Property  for which rental  payments  commenced  in July 1997.  The
decrease in rental and earned  income  during  1997,  as  compared to 1996,  was
partially  offset by an increase in rental income of $38,600 earned from the new
tenant during 1997.

      During the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995, the  Partnership
also earned $54,330,  $67,652 and $70,819,  respectively,  in contingent  rental
income.  The decrease in contingent  rental income during 1997 and 1996, each as
compared to the previous  year,  is primarily  attributable  to decreased  gross
sales of certain  restaurant  Properties  requiring  the payments of  contingent
rental income.


      In addition,  for the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the
Partnership earned $277,325, $200,499 and $81,582, respectively, attributable to
net income earned by joint  ventures in which the  Partnership is a co-venturer.
The increase in net income earned by joint ventures  during 1997 and 1996,  each
as  compared  to the  previous  year,  is  primarily  due to the  fact  that the
Partnership invested in Middleburg Joint Venture in May 1996, as described above
in "Capital Resources."

      During at least one of the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,
three of the Partnership's  lessees (or group of affiliated lessees),  Long John
Silver's, Inc., Foodmaker, Inc. and Flagstar Corporation,  each contributed more
than ten  percent  of the  Partnership's  total  rental  income  (including  the
Partnership's  share  of  rental  income  from  four  Properties  owned by joint
ventures).  As of December 31,  1997,  Long John  Silver's,  Inc. was the lessee
under leases relating to eight restaurants, Foodmaker, Inc. was the lessee under
leases relating to ten

                                                        15

<PAGE>



restaurants and Flagstar  Corporation was the lessee under leases relating to 15
restaurants.  It is  anticipated  that  based  on the  minimum  rental  payments
required by the leases,  these three lessees or group of affiliated lessees each
will continue to  contribute  more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  total
rental income during 1998 and subsequent years. In addition, during at least one
of the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  four  Restaurant  Chains,
Long John Silver's,  Hardee's,  Jack in the Box and Denny's,  each accounted for
more than ten percent of the  Partnership's  total rental income  (including the
Partnership's  share  of  rental  income  from  four  Properties  owned by joint
ventures).  In subsequent  years,  it is anticipated  that these four 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.

      During the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995, the  Partnership
also earned $87,719, $119,267 and $88,070,  respectively,  in interest and other
income.  The decrease in interest and other income  during 1997,  as compared to
1996,  and the increase in interest and other income during 1996, as compared to
1995, is primarily  attributable to the Partnership  granting  certain  easement
rights during 1996, to the owner of the Property  adjacent to the  Partnership's
Property  in Black  Mountain,  North  Carolina,  in  exchange  for  $25,000.  In
addition,  the decrease in interest and other income during 1997, as compared to
1996,  is offset by an  increase  attributable  to the  Partnership  recognizing
approximately  $7,900 in other income due to the fact that the former  tenant of
the Property in Tempe,  Arizona, paid past due real estate taxes relating to the
Property  and the  Partnership  reversed  such  amounts  during 1997 that it had
previously accrued as payable during 1996.

      Operating expenses,  including depreciation and amortization expense, were
$570,002,  $594,660 and $556,199 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The decrease in operating expenses during 1997, as compared
to  1996,  and  the  increase  in  1996,  as  compared  to  1995,  is  partially
attributable to the fact that during 1996, the Partnership  recorded current and
past due real estate taxes  relating to the Property in Tempe,  Arizona,  due to
financial  difficulties  the tenant was  experiencing.  As discussed  above, the
amounts  accrued  during 1996 were  reversed and recorded as other income during
1997. No real estate taxes were recorded during 1997 relating to the Property in
Tempe,  Arizona, due to the fact that the new tenant is responsible for the real
estate taxes under the terms of the new lease.

      In addition,  the decrease in operating  expenses during 1997, as compared
to  1996,  is  partially   attributable   to  a  decrease  in   accounting   and
administrative  expenses  associated  with  operating  the  Partnership  and its
Properties. The decrease in operating expenses during 1997, as compared to 1996,
and the increase in 1996, as compared to 1995, is partially  attributable to the
Partnership incurring certain expenses, such as insurance and

legal fees  during  1996,  due to the former  tenant of the  Property  in Tempe,
Arizona  declaring  bankruptcy  during 1996. The increase in operating  expenses
during 1996,  as compared to 1995, is primarily  attributable  to 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 beginning in May 1995.


      The decrease in operating expenses during 1997, was partially offset by an
increase  in  depreciation  expense as a result of the  reclassification  of the
lease relating to the Property in Tempe,  Arizona, from a direct financing lease
to an operating  lease, as described above in "Capital  Resources." The increase
in operating  expenses during 1996, as compared to 1995, was partially offset by
a decrease in depreciation expense during the year ended December 31, 1996, as a
result of the sale of the Property located in Houston,  Texas, in April 1996, as
described above in "Capital Resources."

      The General  Partners of the  Partnership  are in the process of assessing
and addressing the impact of the year 2000 on their computer  package  software.
The  hardware and  built-in  software  are  believed to be year 2000  compliant.
Accordingly, the General Partners do not expect this matter to materially impact
how the  Partnership  conducts  business nor its future results of operations or
financial position.


      As a result of the sale of the  Property in Houston,  Texas,  as described
above in "Capital  Resources," the Partnership  recognized a loss of $15,355 for
financial  reporting purposes for the year ended December 31, 1996. The loss was
primarily due to acquisition fees and  miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses that
the Partnership  had allocated to this Property.  No Properties were sold during
1995 and 1997.

      The  Partnership's  leases as of December 31, 1997, 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  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.
