                            CNL INCOME FUND XV, LTD.
                         (A Florida Limited Partnership)
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999


2.       Land and Buildings on Operating Leases-Continued:

         In December  1999,  the  Partnership  entered  into a new lease for the
         property in Mentor,  Ohio, with a new tenant to operate the property as
         a Bennigan's  restaurant.  In  connection  therewith,  the  Partnership
         agreed to pay up to $749,500 in renovation costs, all of which had been
         incurred and paid as of June 30, 2000.

         In January 2000, the Partnership sold its property in Lexington,  North
         Carolina,  to an  unrelated  third party for  $599,500 and received net
         sales  proceeds  of  $562,130,  resulting  in a  loss  of  $88,869  for
         financial  reporting  purposes,   which  the  Partnership  recorded  at
         December 31, 1999, as an allowance for loss on building.

3.       Net Investment In Direct Financing Leases:

         At  June  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  established  an  allowance  for
         impairment in carrying  value in the amount of $52,501 for its property
         in  Bartlesville,  Oklahoma.  The allowance  represented the difference
         between  the  carrying  value  of the  net  investment  in  the  direct
         financing  lease at June 30, 2000,  and the  estimated  net  realizable
         value of the net investment in the direct  financing  lease at June 30,
         2000.

4.       Investment in Joint Ventures:

         In June 2000, the  Partnership  used the net sales proceeds it received
         from the sale of the Property in Lexington,  North  Carolina,  to enter
         into a joint venture arrangement,  TGIF Pittsburgh Joint Venture,  with
         CNL Income Fund VII,  Ltd.,  CNL Income Fund XVI,  Ltd.  and CNL Income
         Fund XVIII,  Ltd., each a Florida limited  partnership and an affiliate
         of the general partners,  to purchase and hold one restaurant property.
         The  Partnership  accounts for its  investment  using the equity method
         since the Partnership  shares control with  affiliates.  As of June 30,
         2000, the Partnership owned a 23.62% interest in the profits and losses
         of the joint venture.

         Wood-Ridge Real Estate Joint Venture owns and leases six properties and
         Duluth  Joint  Venture  owns and leases one  property to  operators  of
         national fast food or  family-style  restaurants.  The  Partnership and
         affiliates,  as  tenants-in-common  in two  separate  tenancy in common
         arrangements,  each  own and  lease  one  property  to an  operator  of
         national fast food or family-style restaurants.

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, 2000, the
Partnership  owned 50 Properties,  which included  interests in eight 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, 2000 and 1999 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 $1,679,453 and
$1,468,759  for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The
increase in cash from  operations  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  as
compared  to the six  months  ended June 30,  1999,  was  primarily  a result of
changes in the Partnership's working capital.

         Other sources and uses of capital included the following during the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

         In December 1999, the  Partnership  entered into a new lease with a new
tenant for its Property in Mentor, Ohio, to operate the Property as a Bennigan's
restaurant.  In connection  therewith,  the Partnership  committed to fund up to
$749,500 for  renovation  costs,  all of which had been  incurred and paid as of
June 30, 2000.

         In January 2000, the Partnership sold its Property in Lexington,  North
Carolina, for $599,500 and received net sales proceeds of $562,130, resulting in
a loss of  $88,869  for  financial  reporting  purposes,  which the  Partnership
recorded as an  allowance  for loss on Property at December  31,  1999.  In June
2000, the  Partnership  used the net sales proceeds it received from the sale of
this Property, to enter into a joint venture arrangement,  TGIF Pittsburgh Joint
Venture,  with CNL Income  Fund VII,  Ltd.,  CNL Income Fund XVI,  Ltd.  and CNL
Income Fund XVIII, Ltd., each a Florida limited  partnership and an affiliate of
the general partners,  to hold one restaurant property. As of June 30, 2000, the
Partnership  owned a 23.62%  interest  in the  profits  and  losses of the joint
venture.

         Currently, rental income from the Partnership's Properties, and any net
sales  proceeds  held by the  Partnership  pending  reinvestment  in  additional
Properties,  are invested in money market accounts or other  short-term,  highly
liquid  investments  such as demand  deposit  accounts at  commercial  banks and
certificates  of deposit  with less than a 30-day  maturity  date,  pending  the
Partnership's  use  of  such  funds  to pay  Partnership  expenses  and to  make
distributions  to the partners.  At June 30, 2000, the  Partnership had $953,446
invested in such short-term  investments,  as compared to $1,660,363 at December
31,  1999.  The  decrease  in cash and  cash  equivalents  at June 30,  2000 was
primarily  attributable to the payment of renovation costs for the Partnership's
Property in Mentor,  Ohio during the six months ended June 30,  2000.  The funds
remaining  at  June  30,  2000,  will be used  to pay  distributions  and  other
liabilities.

Short-Term Liquidity

         The Partnership's  short-term liquidity  requirements consist primarily
of the operating expenses of the Partnership.

         The Partnership's  investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash
and  leasing  them under  triple-net  leases to  operators  who  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.

         Total liabilities of the Partnership,  including distributions payable,
increased to $1,109,117 at June 30, 2000,  from $1,038,105 at December 31, 1999,
primarily as a result of an increase in due to related parties and rents paid in
advance and  deposits at June 30, 2000 as  compared to December  31,  1999.  The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable at June 30, 2000
as compared to December 31, 1999.  Liabilities  at June 30, 2000,  to the extent
they exceed cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2000, will be paid from future
cash from operations or in the event the general  partners elect to make capital
contributions or loans, from future general partner contributions or loans.

         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 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  anticipated future
cash from operations, the Partnership declared distributions to limited partners
of $1,600,000  for each of the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 ($800,000
for each applicable quarter). This represents  distributions for each applicable
six months of $0.40 per unit ($0.20 per unit for each  applicable  quarter).  No
distributions  were made to the general partners for the quarters and six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. No amounts distributed to the limited partners for
the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999 are  required  to be or have been
treated by the  Partnership  as a return of capital for purposes of  calculating
the  limited  partners'  return on their  adjusted  capital  contributions.  The
Partnership  intends to continue to make  distributions  of cash  available  for
distribution to the limited partners on a quarterly basis.

Long-Term Liquidity

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

Results of Operations

         During the six months ended June 30, 1999,  the  Partnership  owned and
leased 42 wholly owned Properties (including one Property sold in November 1999)
and during the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership  owned and leased
41 wholly owned  Properties  (including  one Property  sold in January  2000) to
operators  of  fast-food  and  family-style  restaurant  chains.  In  connection
therewith,  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the  Partnership
earned $1,620,559 and $1,608,193,  respectively, in rental income from operating
leases and earned income from direct financing leases from these Properties,  of
which  $819,244 and $803,985 was earned during the quarters  ended June 30, 2000
and 1999,  respectively.  The  increase in rental and earned  income  during the
quarter and six months ended June 30,  2000,  as compared to the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999,  was  primarily  due to the fact that in 1998,  Long
John Silver's,  Inc. filed for bankruptcy,  rejected the leases relating to four
of the eight Properties it leased and discontinued making rental payments to the
Partnership.  Subsequently, two of the four Properties with rejected leases were
sold and one was re-leased to a new tenant.  As of June 30, 2000,  the remaining
Property  whose lease was rejected  remained  vacant.  The general  partners are
currently seeking either a new tenant or purchaser for the vacant Property.  The
Partnership  will not  recognize  any rental and earned  income from this vacant
Property  until a new tenant for this  Property is located or until the Property
is sold  and the  proceeds  from  such  sale  are  reinvested  in an  additional
Property.  The lost revenues  resulting from this Property could have an adverse
effect on the results of operations of the Partnership if the Partnership is not
able to re-lease the Property in a timely manner.  In 1999,  Long John Silver's,
Inc.  assumed and affirmed its four  remaining  leases and the  Partnership  has
continued to receive rental payments relating to these four leases. The increase
in rental and earned  income  during the six  months  ended June 30,  2000,  was
partially due to the fact that the Partnership received approximately $73,700 in
bankruptcy  proceeds  relating to the  Properties  whose leases were rejected in
1998, as described above.

         The increase in rental and earned  income was also due to the fact that
during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Partnership collected
and  recognized as income  amounts for which it had  previously  established  an
allowance for doubtful accounts for its Property in Huntsville, Texas.

         The  increase  in rental and earned  income was  partially  offset by a
decrease due to the fact that in December 1999, the  Partnership  terminated the
lease with the tenant of the Property in Mentor,  Ohio.  In December  1999,  the
Partnership  re-leased the Property to a new tenant,  from which rental payments
commenced  in  March  2000,   and  renovated  the  property  into  a  Bennigan's
restaurant, as described above in "Capital Resources."

         In  addition,  the increase in rental and earned  income was  partially
offset by the fact that during the quarter and six months  ended June 30,  2000,
the tenant of the Property in Greer, South Carolina defaulted under the terms of
its  lease and  discontinued  operations  of the  restaurant.  As a result,  the
Partnership  established  an allowance  for doubtful  accounts of  approximately
$16,200 for past due rental  amounts.  The  general  partners  will  continue to
pursue collection of rental amounts relating to this Property and will recognize
such amounts as income if collected.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  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.  During the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership
owned and leased two  additional  Properties  indirectly  through  joint venture
arrangements. In connection therewith, during the six months ended June 30, 2000
and  1999,  the  Partnership   earned   $131,703  and  $123,928,   respectively,
attributable to net income earned by these joint  ventures,  $68,070 and $62,027
of  which  was  earned  during  the  quarters  ended  June 30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were  $427,280 and $417,916  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively,  $190,303 and $222,744 of which were incurred  during the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The increase in operating expenses
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 was partially due to, and the decrease
in  operating  expenses  during the quarter  ended June 30,  2000 was  partially
offset by, an increase in administrative  expenses for servicing the Partnership
and its Properties.  In addition,  the increase in operating expenses during the
six months  ended June 30,  2000,  as compared to the six months  ended June 30,
1999, was partially  attributable to, and the decrease in operating expenses for
the  quarter  ended June 30,  2000,  was  partially  offset by, an  increase  in
depreciation  expense due to the fact that during December 1999, the Partnership
reclassified the lease for the building for its Property in Mentor,  Ohio from a
direct  financing  lease to an operating lease due to the new lease entered into
in December 1999, as described in "Capital Resources." The increase in operating
expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2000 was partially  offset by, and
the  decrease in  operating  expenses  for the  quarter  ended June 30, 2000 was
primarily due to the fact that the Partnership  incurred less transaction  costs
relating to the  general  partners  retaining  financial  and legal  advisors to
assist them in evaluating and  negotiating the proposed merger with CNL American
Properties Fund, Inc. ("APF") due to the termination of the proposed merger,  as
described below in "Termination of Merger."

         During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the  Partnership
established an allowance for impairment in the carrying value of its Property in
Bartlesville,  Oklahoma of $52,501.  The allowance  represented  the  difference
between the carrying value and the estimated net  realizable  value of the lease
at June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 1999, the  Partnership had recorded a provision
for loss on building in the amount of $132,446 for financial  reporting purposes
relating to its 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  discontinued  the payment of
rents. The impairment  represented the difference between the carrying value and
the estimated net realizable value of the Property at June 30, 1999.

Termination of Merger

         On March 1, 2000,  the  general  partners  and APF  mutually  agreed to
terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger")  entered into in March
1999. The general partners are continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives for
the  Partnership,  including  alternatives  to provide  liquidity to the limited
partners.

Dismissal of Legal Action

         As described in greater detail in Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings,"
in 1999,  two  groups of limited  partners  in several  CNL Income  Funds  filed
purported  class action  suits  against the general  partners and APF  alleging,
among other  things,  that the general  partners  had breached  their  fiduciary
duties  in  connection  with the  proposed  Merger.  These  actions  were  later
consolidated  into one action.  On April 25, 2000, the judge in the consolidated
action issued an order dismissing the action without prejudice,  with each party
to bear its own costs and attorneys' fees.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

          On May 11, 1999,  four limited  partners in several CNL Income
          Funds served a derivative  and purported  class action lawsuit
          filed April 22, 1999  against the general  partners and APF in
          the  Circuit  Court of the Ninth  Judicial  Circuit  of Orange
          County,  Florida,  alleging that the general partners breached
          their fiduciary  duties and violated  provisions of certain of
          the CNL Income Fund Partnership  agreements in connection with
          the proposed merger. The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages
          and equitable relief. On July 8, 1999, the plaintiffs filed an
          amended   complaint   which,   in  addition  to  naming  three
          additional  plaintiffs,  included  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 sought additional equitable relief. As amended,
          the caption of the case was 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 sought unspecified damages and equitable relief.

          On September  23, 1999,  Judge  Lawrence  Kirkwood  entered an
          order consolidating the two cases under the caption In re: CNL
          Income Funds  Litigation,  Case No. 99-3561.  Pursuant to this
          order,  the plaintiffs in these cases filed a consolidated and
          amended  complaint on November 8, 1999.  On December 22, 1999,
          the general  partners  and CNL Group,  Inc.  filed  motions to
          dismiss and motions to strike.  On December 28, 1999,  APF and
          CNL Fund Advisors,  Inc. filed motions to dismiss. On March 6,
          2000,  all of the  defendants  filed a Joint  Notice of Filing
          Form 8-K Reports and Suggestion of Mootness.

          On April 25, 2000,  Judge Kirkwood  issued a Stipulated  Final
          Order of  Dismissal of  Consolidated  Action,  dismissing  the
          action  without  prejudice,  with  each  party to bear its own
          costs and attorneys' fees.
