                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998


1.       Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been
         prepared in accordance  with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and do not
         include  all  of the  information  and  note  disclosures  required  by
         generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The financial  statements
         reflect all adjustments,  consisting of normal  recurring  adjustments,
         which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement
         of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for
         the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999,  may not be  indicative
         of the results  that may be expected  for the year ending  December 31,
         1999.  Amounts as of  December  31,  1998,  included  in the  financial
         statements,  have been derived from audited financial  statements as of
         that date.

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
         the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K of CNL
         Income Fund XV, Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  for the year ended  December
         31, 1998.

2.       Land and Building on Operating Leases:

         At June 30,  1999,  the  Partnership  recorded a provision  for loss on
         building in the amount of $132,446  for  financial  reporting  purposes
         relating the Long John Silver's  property in Gastonia,  North Carolina.
         The tenant of this property  filed for bankruptcy and ceased payment of
         rents under the terms of its lease agreement.  The allowance represents
         the  difference  between the carrying value of the property at June 30,
         1999 and the estimated net sales proceeds from the sale of the property
         based on a purchase and sales  contract  with an unrelated  third party
         (see Note 4).

3.       Commitments and Contingencies:

         On March 11, 1999, the  Partnership  entered into an Agreement and Plan
         of Merger with CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF"),  pursuant to
         which the Partnership would be merged with and into a subsidiary of APF
         (the  "Merger").  As  consideration  for the Merger,  APF has agreed to
         issue 1,866,951  shares of its common stock,  par value $0.01 per share
         (the "APF  Shares")  which,  for the  purposes  of  valuing  the merger
         consideration,  have been  valued by APF at $20.00 per APF  Share,  the
         price  paid by APF  investors  (after an  adjustment  for a one for two
         reverse stock split  effective June 3, 1999) in three  previous  public
         offerings,  the most recent of which was completed in December 1998. In
         order to assist the general  partners in evaluating the proposed merger
         consideration,  the general partners retained Valuation  Associates,  a
         nationally  recognized  real estate  appraisal  firm,  to appraise  the
         Partnership's   restaurant  property  portfolio.   Based  on  Valuation
         Associates' appraisal, the Partnership's property portfolio and other

              Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998


3.       Commitments and Contingencies - Continued:

         assets were valued on a going  concern basis  (meaning the  Partnership
         continues  unchanged) at  $36,726,950  as of December 31, 1998. The APF
         Shares  are  expected  to be listed  for  trading on the New York Stock
         Exchange   concurrently  with  the  consummation  of  the  Merger,  and
         therefore, would be freely tradable at the option of the former limited
         partners.  At a special  meeting of the partners that is expected to be
         held in the fourth quarter of 1999,  limited partners holding in excess
         of 50% of the Partnership's  outstanding limited partnership  interests
         must approve the Merger prior to  consummation of the  transaction.  If
         the limited  partners at the special  meeting  approve the Merger,  APF
         will own the  properties  and  other  assets  of the  Partnership.  The
         general  partners intend to recommend that the limited  partners of the
         Partnership    approve   the   Merger.   In   connection   with   their
         recommendation,  the general  partners  will solicit the consent of the
         limited partners at the special meeting. If the limited partners reject
         the Merger,  the  Partnership  will bear the portion of the transaction
         costs based upon the percentage of "For" votes and the general partners
         will  bear  the  portion  of such  transaction  costs  based  upon  the
         percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

         On May 11,  1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL Income
         Funds  served  a  lawsuit  against  the  general  partners  and  APF in
         connection  with the proposed  Merger.  On July 8, 1999, the plaintiffs
         amended  the  complaint  to add three  additional  limited  partners as
         plaintiffs.  Additionally,  on June 22,  1999,  a  limited  partner  in
         certain of the CNL Income  Funds  served a lawsuit  against the general
         partners and APF in connection  with the proposed  Merger.  The general
         partners and APF believe that the lawsuits are without merit and intend
         to defend  vigorously  against the claims.  See Part II - Item 1. Legal
         Proceedings.

         In  June  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into an  agreement  with an
         unrelated  third  party to sell  the Long  John  Silver's  property  in
         Gastonia, North Carolina. At June 30, 1999, the Partnership established
         a provision  for loss on building  related to the  anticipated  sale of
         this  property  (see Note 2). As of  August 6,  1999,  the sale had not
         occurred.

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

         CNL Income  Fund XV,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a Florida  limited
partnership that was organized on September 2, 1993, to acquire for cash, either
directly or through  joint  venture  arrangements,  both newly  constructed  and
existing  restaurants,  as  well  as  land  upon  which  restaurants  were to be
constructed  (the  "Properties"),  which are leased  primarily  to  operators of
national and regional  fast-food and family-style  restaurant chains. The leases
generally are triple-net leases, with the lessee responsible for all repairs and
maintenance,  property taxes, insurance and utilities.  As of June 30, 1999, the
Partnership  owned 50  Properties,  which  included  interests in six Properties
owned by a joint  venture  in which the  Partnership  is a  co-venturer  and two
Properties owned with affiliates of the general partners as tenants-in-common.

Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary  source of capital for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 was cash from  operations  (which  includes cash received
from tenants,  distributions from joint ventures,  and interest and other income
received, less cash paid for expenses).  Cash from operations was $1,468,759 and
$1,710,905  for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The
decrease in cash from  operations  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  as
compared  to the six  months  ended June 30,  1998,  was  primarily  a result of
changes in income and expenses as described in "Results of Operations" below and
changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         Currently,  cash  reserves  and rental  income  from the  Partnership's
Properties  are invested in money market  accounts or other  short-term,  highly
liquid investments such as demand deposits at commercial banks,  certificates of
deposit,  and money  market  accounts  with less  than a 30-day  maturity  date,
pending the  Partnership's  use of such funds to pay Partnership  expenses or to
make  distributions  to the  partners.  At June 30, 1999,  the  Partnership  had
$1,083,203 invested in such short-term investments, as compared to $1,214,444 at
December  31, 1998.  The funds  remaining  at June 30,  1999,  after  payment of
distributions and other liabilities, will be used 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.

         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.



<PAGE>


         The Partnership  generally  distributes cash from operations  remaining
after the payment of operating  expenses of the Partnership,  to the extent that
the general partners  determine that such funds are available for  distribution.
Based on current and anticipated  future cash from  operations,  and for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1998,   accumulated  excess  operating  reserves,  the
Partnership  declared  distributions  to  limited  partners  of  $1,600,000  and
$1,800,000  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999 and  1998,  respectively
($800,000  for  each of the  quarters  ended  June  30,  1999  and  1998).  This
represents  distributions  of $0.40 and $0.45 per unit for the six months  ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively ($0.20 for each of the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and 1998). No  distributions  were made to the general partners for the
quarters and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. No amounts  distributed to
the  limited  partners  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  are
required to be or have been  treated by the  Partnership  as a return of capital
for  purposes of  calculating  the limited  partners'  return on their  adjusted
capital contributions. The Partnership intends to continue to make distributions
of cash available for distribution to the limited partners on a quarterly basis.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased  to $985,336 at June 30,  1999,  from  $893,154 at December  31, 1998,
primarily as a result of the Partnership  accruing transaction costs relating to
the  proposed  Merger  with CNL  American  Properties  Fund,  Inc.  ("APF"),  as
described   below.  The  general  partners  believe  that  the  Partnership  has
sufficient cash on hand to meet its current working capital needs.

         In  June  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into an  agreement  with an
unrelated third party to sell the Long John Silver's Property in Gastonia, North
Carolina. At June 30, 1999, the Partnership  established a provision for loss on
building and related to the anticipated  sale of this Property.  As of August 6,
1999, the sale had not occurred.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Results of Operations

         During  each of the six  months  ended  June  30,  1999 and  1998,  the
Partnership  owned  and  leased 42  wholly  owned  Properties  to  operators  of
fast-food and family-style  restaurant chains.  During the six months ended June
30,  1999  and  1998,  the   Partnership   earned   $1,608,193  and  $1,492,417,
respectively,  in rental income from  operating  leases (net of  adjustments  to
accrued rental income) and earned income from direct financing leases from these
Properties,  $803,985 and $597,477 of which was earned during the quarters ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Rental and earned income was lower during
the quarter and six months ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the quarter and
six months  ended June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to the fact that in June 1998,
Long John Silver's,  Inc. filed for bankruptcy and rejected the leases  relating
to four of the eight Properties.  As a result, during the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership  wrote off accrued rental income  (non-cash
accounting  adjustment  relating to the straight-lining of future scheduled rent
increases over the lease term in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles) relating to these Properties. No amounts were written off during the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. The effect from the write-off


<PAGE>


of accrued rental income was partially  offset by the fact that the  Partnership
recorded  rental and earned  income during the quarter and six months ended June
30,  1998,  prior to the  tenant  vacating  the  Properties  in June  1998.  The
Partnership has continued  receiving rental payments relating to the four leases
not rejected by the tenant.  In May 1999, the  Partnership  re-leased one of the
Properties with rental payments beginning in July 1999. The Partnership will not
recognize  rental and earned  income from the three  remaining  Properties  with
rejected leases until new tenants for these  Properties are located or until the
Properties  are  sold  and the  proceeds  from  such  sales  are  reinvested  in
additional  Properties.  The general  partners are currently  seeking either new
tenants or purchasers for the three remaining  Properties with rejected  leases.
While Long John  Silver's,  Inc. has not rejected or affirmed the remaining four
leases,  there can be no  assurance  that some or all of the leases  will not be
rejected in the future.  The lost revenues  resulting  from the four leases that
were rejected,  as described  above,  and the lost revenues that would result in
the event the remaining four leases are rejected could have an adverse effect on
the results of operations of the  Partnership  if the  Partnership  is unable to
re-lease these Properties in a timely manner.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership
earned $20,114 and $39,637,  respectively,  in interest and other income, $9,010
and  $19,451 of which was earned  during the  quarters  ended June 30,  1999 and
1998, respectively. The decrease in interest and other income during the quarter
and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  as compared to the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1998, was primarily  attributable  to a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents  related to the fact that, in June 1998,  Long John  Silver's,  Inc.
filed for  bankruptcy  and  rejected  the leases  relating  to four of the eight
Properties they lease. As a result, this tenant ceased making rental payments on
the four rejected leases, as described above.

         For the  quarter  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998,  the
Partnership  also owned and leased six Properties  indirectly  through one joint
venture arrangement and two Properties as  tenants-in-common  with affiliates of
the general  partners.  In  connection  with these joint  venture  arrangements,
during  the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership  earned
$123,928  and  $120,294,  respectively,  $62,027 and $60,549 of which was earned
during the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $417,916  and  $252,376  for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively,  $222,744 and  $124,967 of which was incurred  during the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The increase in operating expenses
during the  quarter  and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  as  compared  to the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998,  was partially  attributable  to the
fact that the Partnership accrued insurance and real estate taxes as a result of
Long John Silver's, Inc. filing for bankruptcy and rejecting the leases relating
to four Properties in June 1998. In addition, the increase in operating expenses
was partially  attributable  to an increase in  depreciation  expense due to the
fact that during the year ended December 31, 1998 the  Partnership  reclassified
these  assets  from  net  investment  in  direct  financing  leases  to land and
buildings on operating leases. In May 1999, the Partnership re-leased one of the
Properties with a rejected lease. The Partnership will continue to incur certain
expenses,  such as real estate taxes,  insurance and maintenance relating to the
Properties  with rejected  leases until  replacement  tenants or purchasers  are
located. The Partnership is currently seeking either replacement tenants


<PAGE>


or purchasers for these  Properties.  In addition,  the  Partnership  will incur
certain expenses such as real estate taxes,  insurance and maintenance  relating
to one or more of the four Properties  still leased by Long John Silver's,  Inc.
if one or more of the leases are rejected.

         The increase in operating expenses for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999 was also partially due to the fact that the  Partnership  incurred
$74,477 and $107,297 in  transaction  costs for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively, related to the general partners retaining financial
and legal  advisors to assist them in evaluating  and  negotiating  the proposed
Merger with APF, as described  below. If the limited partners reject the Merger,
the Partnership  will bear the portion of the  transaction  costs based upon the
percentage of "For" votes and the general partners will bear the portion of such
transaction costs based upon the percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

         At June 30,  1999,  the  Partnership  recorded a provision  for loss on
building in the amount of $132,446 for financial  reporting purposes relating to
a Long John Silver's Property in Gastonia,  North Carolina,  the lease for which
was rejected by the tenant in June 1998, as described  above. The tenant of this
Property filed for bankruptcy and ceased payment of rents under the terms of its
lease agreement.  The impairment  represents the difference between the carrying
value of the Property at June 30, 1999 and the estimated net sales proceeds from
the sale of the Property  based on a purchase and pending sales contract with an
unrelated third party.

Proposed Merger

         On March 11, 1999, the  Partnership  entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger with APF,  pursuant to which the Partnership  would be merged with and
into a subsidiary of APF (the "Merger").  As consideration  for the Merger,  APF
has agreed to issue  1,866,951  shares of its common stock,  par value $0.01 per
share  (the  "APF  Shares")  which,  for the  purposes  of  valuing  the  merger
consideration,  have been valued by APF at $20.00 per APF Share,  the price paid
by APF  investors  (after an  adjustment  for a one for two reverse  stock split
effective June 3, 1999) in three previous public  offerings,  the most recent of
which was completed in December 1998. In order to assist the general partners in
evaluating the proposed  merger  consideration,  the general  partners  retained
Valuation  Associates,  a nationally  recognized real estate  appraisal firm, to
appraise the Partnership's  restaurant  property  portfolio.  Based on Valuation
Associates'  appraisal,  the Partnership's  property  portfolio and other assets
were  valued  on a  going  concern  basis  (meaning  the  Partnership  continues
unchanged) at  $36,726,950  as of December 31, 1998. The APF Shares are expected
to be listed for trading on the New York Stock  Exchange  concurrently  with the
consummation  of the  Merger,  and  therefore,  would be freely  tradable at the
option of the former limited partners. At a special meeting of the partners that
is expected to be held in the fourth quarter of 1999,  limited  partners holding
in excess of 50% of the Partnership's  outstanding limited partnership interests
must approve the Merger prior to consummation of the transaction. If the limited
partners at the special meeting approve the Merger,  APF will own the properties
and other assets of the  Partnership.  The general  partners intend to recommend
that the limited partners of the Partnership  approve the Merger.  In connection
with their recommendation,  the general partners will solicit the consent of the
limited partners at the special


<PAGE>


meeting.  If the limited  partners reject the Merger,  the Partnership will bear
the portion of the  transaction  costs based upon the  percentage of "For" votes
and the general partners will bear the portion of such  transaction  costs based
upon the percentage of "Against" votes and abstentions.

         On May 11,  1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL Income
Funds served a lawsuit  against the general  partners and APF in connection with
the proposed  Merger.  On July 8, 1999, the plaintiffs  amended the complaint to
add three additional limited partners as plaintiffs.  Additionally,  on June 22,
1999,  a limited  partner in certain  of the CNL Income  Funds  served a lawsuit
against the general partners, APF and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. and certain of its
affiliates in connection with the proposed Merger.  The general partners and APF
believe  that the  lawsuits  are without  merit and intend to defend  vigorously
against the claims. See Part II - Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

         The Year  2000  problem  concerns  the  inability  of  information  and
non-information  technology  systems to  properly  recognize  and  process  date
sensitive  information  beyond  January  1,  2000.  As  of  June  30,  1999  the
Partnership did not have any information or non-information  technology systems.
The general  partners  and  certain of the  affiliates  of the general  partners
provide  all  services  requiring  the use of  information  and  non-information
technology systems pursuant to a management agreement with the Partnership.  The
information technology system of the affiliates of the general partners consists
of a network of personal computers and servers built using hardware and software
from  mainstream  suppliers.  The  non-information  technology  systems  of  the
affiliates of the general  partners are primarily  facility  related and include
building  security  systems,  elevators,  fire  suppressions,  HVAC,  electrical
systems and other  utilities.  The  affiliates  of the general  partners have no
internally generated programmed software coding to correct because substantially
all of the software utilized by the general partners and affiliates is purchased
or  licensed  from  external  providers.   The  maintenance  of  non-information
technology systems at the Partnership's  Properties is the responsibility of the
tenants of the  Properties  in  accordance  with the terms of the  Partnership's
leases.

         In early 1998, the general  partners and affiliates  formed a Year 2000
team, for the purpose of identifying,  understanding  and addressing the various
issues  associated  with the Year 2000  problem.  The Y2K Team  consists  of the
general  partners  and members  from  certain of the  affiliates  of the general
partners, including representatives from senior management, information systems,
telecommunications,   legal,   office   management,   accounting   and  property
management. The Y2K Team's initial step in assessing the Partnership's Year 2000
readiness  consists of  identifying  any systems  that are  date-sensitive  and,
accordingly,  could have potential  Year 2000  problems.  The Y2K Team is in the
process of conducting inspections, interviews and tests to identify which of the
Partnership's systems could have a potential Year 2000 problem.

         The  information  system of the  affiliates of the general  partners is
comprised of hardware  and  software  applications  from  mainstream  suppliers.
Accordingly, the Y2K Team is in the process of contacting the respective vendors
and  manufacturers  to verify the Year 2000  compliance  of their  products.  In
addition,  the Y2K Team has also requested and is evaluating  documentation from
other   companies  with  which  the  Partnership  has  a  material  third  party
relationship,   including  the   Partnership's   tenants,   vendors,   financial
institutions and the


<PAGE>


Partnership's  transfer agent. The Partnership  depends on its tenants for rents
and cash flows,  its financial  institutions  for  availability  of cash and its
transfer agent to maintain and track investor information. The Y2K Team has also
requested and is evaluating  documentation from the  non-information  technology
systems  providers  of the  affiliates  of the general  partners.  Although  the
general partners continue to receive positive  responses from the companies with
which the  Partnership has third party  relationships  regarding their Year 2000
compliance,  the general partners cannot be assured that the tenants,  financial
institutions, transfer agent, other vendors and system providers have adequately
considered  the impact of the Year 2000.  The general  partners  are not able to
measure the effect on the  operations  of the  Partnership  of any third party's
failure to adequately address the impact of the Year 2000.

         The general  partners and their  affiliates  have  identified  and have
implemented  upgrades for certain hardware equipment.  In addition,  the general
partners and their  affiliates have  identified  certain  software  applications
which will require upgrades to become Year 2000 compliant.  The general partners
expect  that all of these  upgrades,  as well as any  other  necessary  remedial
measures on the information  technology systems used in the business  activities
and  operations  of the  Partnership,  to be completed  by  September  30, 1999,
although,  the general  partners  cannot be assured  that the upgrade  solutions
provided by the vendors  have  addressed  all  possible  Year 2000  issues.  The
general  partners  do not expect the  aggregate  cost of the Year 2000  remedial
measures to be material to the results of operations of the Partnership.

         The general partners and their  affiliates have received  certification
from the  Partnership's  transfer agent of its Year 2000 compliance.  Due to the
material  relationship of the Partnership  with its transfer agent, the Y2K Team
is evaluating the Year 2000  compliance of the systems of the transfer agent and
expects to have the  evaluation  completed  by September  30, 1999.  Despite the
positive  response  from the transfer  agent and the  evaluation of the transfer
agent's system by the Y2K Team, the general  partners cannot be assured that the
transfer  agent has addressed  all possible Year 2000 issues.  In the event that
the  systems of the  transfer  agent are not Year 2000  compliant,  the  general
partners and their  affiliates  will have to allocate  resources  to  internally
perform  the  functions  of the  transfer  agent.  The  general  partners do not
anticipate  that the additional  cost of these  resources  would have a material
impact on the Partnership.

         Based upon the progress the general  partners and their affiliates have
made in addressing  the Year 2000 issues and their plan and timeline to complete
the compliance  program,  the general partners do not foresee  significant risks
associated  with Year 2000  compliance  at this time.  The general  partners and
their affiliates plan to address their significant Year 2000 issues prior to the
Partnership  being  affected  by  them;  therefore,  we  have  not  developed  a
comprehensive  contingency  plan.  However,  if the general  partners  and their
affiliates identify significant risks related to their Year 2000 compliance,  or
if their progress deviates from the anticipated  timeline,  the general partners
and their affiliates will develop  contingency plans as deemed necessary at that
time.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings.

            On May 11, 1999,  four limited  partners in several CNL Income Funds
            served a derivative  and purported  class action lawsuit filed April
            22, 1999 against the general  partners and APF in the Circuit  Court
            of the Ninth Judicial  Circuit of Orange County,  Florida,  alleging
            that the  general  partners  breached  their  fiduciary  duties  and
            violated  provisions  of certain of the CNL Income Fund  partnership
            agreements in connection  with the proposed  Merger.  The plaintiffs
            are seeking  unspecified  damages and equitable  relief.  On July 8,
            1999, the plaintiffs  filed an amended  complaint which, in addition
            to naming  three  additional  plaintiffs,  includes  allegations  of
            aiding and  abetting  and  conspiring  to breach  fiduciary  duties,
            negligence  and breach of duty of good faith against  certain of the
            defendants and seeks additional  equitable relief.  As amended,  the
            caption of the case is Jon Hale, Mary J. Hewitt,  Charles A. Hewitt,
            Gretchen M. Hewitt Bernard J. Schulte,  Edward M. and Margaret Berol
            Trust,  and Vicky Berol v. James M. Seneff,  Jr.,  Robert A. Bourne,
            CNL Realty Corporation, and CNL American Properties Fund, Inc., Case
            No. CIO-99-0003561.

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