                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Quarters Ended March 31, 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 ended March 31, 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.       Merger Transaction:

         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 3,733,901  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 $10.00 per APF  Share,  the
         price paid by APF investors 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.  Legg Mason Wood
         Walker, Incorporated has rendered a fairness opinion that the APF Share
         consideration,  payable  by  APF,  is fair  to the  Partnership  from a
         financial  point of view.  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 third  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 5,  1999,  four  limited  partners  in several of the CNL Income
         Funds  filed  a  lawsuit  against  the  general  partners  and  APF  in
         connection  with  the  proposed  Merger  (see  Part II - Item 1.  Legal
         Proceedings).  The general partners and APF believe that the lawsuit is
         without  merit and  intend to defend  vigorously  against  the  claims.
         Because the lawsuit was so recently  filed,  it is premature to further
         comment on the lawsuit at this time.

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 March 31, 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 as tenants-in-common.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  primary  source of capital for the  quarters  ended
March 31, 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 $682,639 and
$987,824  for the  quarters  ended  March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The
decrease in cash from  operations  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1999,  as
compared to the quarter  ended March 31, 1998,  is 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   pending  the  Partnership's  use  of  such  funds  to  pay
Partnership  expenses or to make  distributions  to the  partners.  At March 31,
1999, the Partnership had $1,097,083 invested in such short-term investments, as
compared to  $1,214,444 at December 31, 1998.  The funds  remaining at March 31,
1999, after payment of distributions  and other  liabilities,  will be used meet
the Partnership's working capital and other needs.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
decreased to $876,618 at March 31, 1999, from $893,154 at December 31, 1998. The
general  partners  believe that the  Partnership  has sufficient cash on hand to
meet its current working capital needs.

         Based on current and anticipated  future cash from operations,  and for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998,  accumulated  excess operating  reserves,  the
Partnership   declared   distributions  to  limited  partners  of  $800,000  and
$1,000,000  for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  This
represents  distributions  of $0.20 and $0. 25 per unit for the  quarters  ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. No distributions were made to the general
partners for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. No amounts  distributed
to the limited  partners  for the  quarters  ended March 31, 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.



<PAGE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

         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.

         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").
APF is a real estate investment trust whose primary business is the ownership of
restaurant properties leased on a long-term,  "triple-net" basis to operators of
national and regional  restaurant  chains. APF has agreed to issue shares of its
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "APF Shares"), as consideration for
the Merger. APF has agreed to issue 3,733,901 APF Shares which, for the purposes
of valuing the merger  consideration,  have been valued by APF at $10.00 per APF
Share, the price paid by APF investors 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.  Legg Mason Wood
Walker,  Incorporated  has  rendered  a  fairness  opinion  that  the APF  Share
consideration, payable by APF, is fair to the Partnership from a financial point
of view.  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 third 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 5,  1999,  four  limited  partners  in several of the CNL Income
Funds filed a lawsuit  against the general  partners and APF in connection  with
the  proposed  Merger  (see Part II - Item 1. Legal  Proceedings).  The  general
partners and APF believe that the lawsuit is without  merit and intend to defend
vigorously against the claims.  Because the lawsuit was so recently filed, it is
premature to further comment on the lawsuit at this time.

Results of Operations

         During the  quarters  ended  March 31, 1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership
owned and leased 42 wholly  owned  Properties  to  operators  of  fast-food  and
family-style  restaurant  chains. In connection  therewith,  during the quarters
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  the  Partnership  earned  $804,208 and $894,940,
respectively,  in rental  income from  operating  leases and earned  income from
direct financing leases from these Properties. The decrease in rental and earned
income during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the quarter ended
March 31,  1998,  is  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 they lease. As a result,  this tenant ceased making rental
payments on the four rejected  leases.  The Partnership has continued  receiving
rental  payments  relating  to  the  leases  not  rejected  by the  tenant.  The
Partnership will not recognize rental and earned income from the 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 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 possible  rejection of the remaining four leases 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.

         For the quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the  Partnership  also
owned and leased six Properties indirectly through one joint venture arrangement
and one Property as  tenants-in-common  with affiliates of the general partners.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership  also owned and leased one
additional  Property  as  tenants-in-common  with an  affiliate  of the  general
partners. In connection therewith,  during the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, the Partnership earned $61,901 and $59,745, respectively,  attributable to
net income earned by these joint ventures.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $195,172  and  $127,409  for the  quarters  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  The increase in operating expenses during the quarter ended March
31,  1999,  as compared  to the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  is  partially
attributable to the fact that the Partnership  accrued insurance and real estate
taxes of approximately $9,000 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 is partially  attributable  to an
increase of approximately  $13,400 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. 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 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 is also  partially  due to the fact
that the  Partnership  incurred  $32,820  in  transaction  costs  related to the
general  partners  retaining  financial  and legal  advisors  to assist  them in
evaluating and  negotiating  the proposed Merger with APF, as described above in
"Liquidity and Capital  Resources." 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.

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. The Partnership does not have any
information or  non-information  technology  systems.  The general  partners and
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
committee  (the "Y2K 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 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.



<PAGE>


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - Continued

         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  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 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 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  would 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.


<PAGE>


Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure - Continued

         Based upon the progress the general  partners and 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,  they  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 5, 1999,  four  limited  partners in several of the CNL
            Income  Funds  filed a  lawsuit,  Jon  Hale,  Mary J.  Hewitt,
            Charles A. Hewitt,  and Gretchen M. Hewitt v. James M. Seneff,
            Jr.,  Robert  A.  Bourne,  CNL  Realty  Corporation,  and  CNL
            American  Properties Fund, Inc., Case No.  CIO-99-0003561,  in
            the  Circuit  Court of the Ninth  Judicial  Circuit  of Orange
            County,  Florida,  alleging that the Messrs. Seneff and Bourne
            and CNL Realty  Corporation,  as general  partners  of the CNL
            Income Funds, breached their fiduciary duties and violated the
            provisions  of  certain  of the CNL  Income  Fund  partnership
            agreements in connection with the proposed  acquisition of the
            CNL  Income   Funds  by  APF.  The   plaintiffs   are  seeking
            unspecified damages and equitable relief. The general partners
            and APF believe  that the lawsuit is without  merit and intend
            to defend vigorously against such claims.  Because the lawsuit
            was so recently  filed,  it is premature to further comment on
            the lawsuit at this time.
