ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         The following information is provided voluntarily prior to the date
on which it is required to be reported under this Item 2.


         STATUS OF THE OFFERING

         Pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective March 29, 1995, CNL American
Properties Fund, Inc. (the "Company") registered for sale an aggregate of
$165,000,000 of shares of common stock (the "Shares") (16,500,000 Shares at
$10 per Share).  As of July 16, 1996, the Company had received aggregate
subscription proceeds of $80,598,079 (8,059,808 Shares) from 4,663
stockholders, including $243,167 (24,317 Shares) issued pursuant to the
Company's reinvestment plan.

         As stated in the registration statement of the Company, including the
Prospectus which constitutes a part thereof, as amended, the proceeds of the
offering of Shares are used primarily to acquire properties (the "Properties")
located across the United States to be leased on a long-term, triple-net basis
to creditworthy operators of selected national and regional fast-food, family-
style and casual dining restaurant chains.  The Company may also provide
financing (the "Mortgage Loans") for the purchase of buildings, generally by
lessees that lease the underlying land from the Company.

         ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES

         During the period June 22, 1996 through July 16, 1996, the Company
acquired four Properties.  The Properties are two Boston Market Properties
(one in each of Corvallis, Oregon, and Rockwall, Texas), one Jack in the Box
Property (in Houston, Texas) and one Arby's Property (in Kendallville,
Indiana).

         In connection with the purchase of each of these four Properties, the
Company, as lessor, entered into long-term lease agreements with unaffiliated
lessees.  The leases are on a triple-net basis, with the lessee responsible
for all repairs and maintenance, property taxes, insurance and utilities.  The
lessee also is required to pay for special assessments, sales and use taxes,
and the cost of any renovations permitted under the lease.  For the Properties
that are to be constructed, the Company has entered into development and
indemnification and put agreements with the lessees.  

         The following table sets forth the location of each of the four
Properties acquired by the Company, during the period June 22, 1996 through
July 16, 1996, a description of the competition, and a summary of the
principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each Property.

      the Company and CNL Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), pursuant to
      which the Advisor will receive monthly asset management fees in an
      amount equal to one-twelfth of .60% of the Company's Real Estate Asset
      Value as of the end of the preceding month as defined in such agreement.

      the previous experience of Affiliates of the Advisor with 17 public
      limited partnerships which own properties similar to those owned by the
      Company.  Amount does not include soliciting dealer servicing fee due to
      the fact that such fee will not be incurred until December 31 of the

application of such proceeds to purchase 43 properties (including 19

venture arrangement which consists of land and building, three properties
which consist of building only and 20 properties consisting of land only),
four of which were under construction at March 31, 1996, to provide mortgage

proceeds from the sale of 2,555,620 additional shares of common stock during
the period April 1, 1996 through July 16, 1996, and (iii) the application of
such funds and $3,897,309 of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1996, to
purchase 29 additional properties acquired during the period April 1, 1996
through July 16, 1996 (two of which are under construction and consist of
building only, 12 of which are under construction and consist of land and
building, 13 properties which consist of land only and two properties which
consists of land and building), to pay additional costs for the four
properties under construction at March 31, 1996, to provide mortgage financing
to the lessee of ten properties consisting of land only, and to pay offering

reflected in the pro forma adjustments described in the related notes.  The
Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1996,  includes the
transactions described in (i) above from its historical consolidated balance
sheet, adjusted to give effect to the transactions in (ii) and (iii) above, as
if they had occurred on March 31, 1996.

      The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995, include the historical
operating results of the properties described in (i) above from the dates of
their acquisitions plus operating results for the seven of the 72 properties
that were owned by the Company as of July 16, 1996, and had a previous rental
history prior to the Company's acquisition of such properties, from (A) the
later of (1) the date the property became operational as a rental property by
the previous owner or (2) June 2, 1995 (the date the Company became
operational), to (B) the earlier of (1) the date the property was acquired by
the Company or (2) the end of the pro forma period presented.  No pro forma
adjustments have been made to the Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of
Earnings for the remaining 65 properties owned by the Company as of July 16,
1996, due to the fact that these properties did not have a previous rental
history.

(b)   Represents the use of $189,412 of the Company's net offering proceeds
      and the assumed receipt of $2,357 in capital contributions from the
      Company's co-venture partner in accordance with the joint venture
      agreement of CNL/Corral South Joint Venture, to fund estimated
      construction costs of $191,769 accrued as construction costs payable at
      March 31, 1996, relating to the one property of the joint venture.  The
      Company accounts for its 84.69% interest in the accounts of CNL/Corral
      South Joint Venture under the full consolidation method.  All
      significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(c)   In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, leases in
      which the present value of future minimum lease payments equals or
      exceeds 90 percent of the value of the related properties are treated as
      direct financing leases rather than as land and buildings.  The
      categorization of the leases has no effect on rental revenues received. 
      The building portions of eight of the properties have been classified as
      direct financing leases.

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

(1)   Represents rental income from operating leases and earned income from
      direct financing leases for the seven of the 72 properties acquired
      during the period June 2, 1995 (the date the Company began operations)
      through July 16, 1996 which had a previous rental history prior to the
      acquisition of the property by the Company (the "Pro Forma Properties"),
      for the period commencing (A) the later of (i) the date the Pro Forma
      Property became operational as a rental property by the previous owner
      or (ii) June 2, 1995 (the date the Company became operational), to (B)
      the earlier of (i) the date the Pro Forma Property was acquired by the
      Company or (ii) the end of the pro forma period presented.  Each of the
      seven Pro Forma Properties was acquired from an affiliate who had
      purchased and temporarily held title to the property.  The
      noncancellable leases for the Pro Forma Properties in place during the
      period the affiliate owned the properties were assigned to the Company
      at the time the Company acquired the properties.  The following presents
      the actual date the Pro Forma Properties were acquired by the Company as
      compared to the date the Pro Forma Properties were treated as becoming
      operational as a rental property for purposes of the Pro Forma
      Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

      In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, lease
      revenue from leases accounted for under the operating method is
      recognized over the terms of the leases.  For operating leases providing
      escalating guaranteed minimum rents, income is reported on a straight-
      line basis over the terms of the leases.  For leases accounted for as
      direct financing leases, future minimum lease payments are recorded as a
      receivable.  The difference between the receivable and the estimated
      residual values less the cost of the properties is recorded as unearned
      income.  The unearned income is amortized over the lease terms to
      provide a constant rate of return.  Accordingly, pro forma rental income
      from operating leases and earned income from direct financing leases
      does not necessarily represent rental payments that would have been
      received if the properties had been operational for the full pro forma
      period.

      Generally, the leases provide for the payment of percentage rent in
      addition to base rental income.  However, due to the fact that no
      percentage rent was due under the leases for the Pro Forma Properties
      during the portion of 1996 and 1995 that the previous owners held the
      properties, no pro forma adjustment was made for percentage rental
      income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended
      December 31, 1995.

(2)   See Note (c) under "Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet" above for a
      description of direct financing leases.

(3)   Represents adjustment to interest income due to the decrease in the
      amount of cash available for investment in interest bearing accounts
      during the periods commencing (A) on the later of (i) the dates the Pro
      Forma Properties became operational as rental properties by the previous
      owners or (ii) June 2, 1995 (the date the Company became operational),
      through (B) the earlier of (i) the actual dates of acquisition by the
      Company or the end of the pro forma period presented, as described in
      Note (1) above.  The estimated pro forma adjustment is based upon the
      fact that interest income on interest bearing accounts was earned at a
      rate of approximately four percent per annum by the Company during the
      quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995.

(4)   Represents incremental increase in asset management fees relating to the
      Pro Forma Properties for the period commencing (A) on the later of (i)
      the date the Pro Forma Properties became operational as rental
      properties by the previous owners or (ii) June 2, 1995 (the date the
      Company became operational), through (B) the earlier of (i) the date the
      Pro Forma Properties were acquired by the Company or (ii) the end of the
      pro forma period presented, as described in Note (1) above.  Asset
      management fees are equal to 0.60% of the Company's Real Estate Asset
      Value (estimated to be approximately $6,219,000 and $5,241,000 for the
      Pro Forma Properties for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the year
      ended December 31, 1995, respectively), as defined in the Company's
      prospectus.

(5)   Represents adjustment to state tax expense due to the incremental
      increase in rental revenues of Pro Forma Properties.  Estimated pro
      forma state tax expense was calculated based on an analysis of state
      laws of the various states in which the Company has acquired the Pro
      Forma Properties.  The estimated pro forma state taxes consist primarily
      of income and franchise taxes ranging from zero to approximately five
      percent of the Company's pro forma rental income of each Pro Forma
      Property.  Due to the fact that the Company's leases are triple net, the
      Company has not included any amounts for real estate taxes in the pro
      forma statement of earnings.

(6)   Represents incremental increase in depreciation expense of the building
      portions of the Pro Forma  Properties accounted for as operating leases
      using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30
      years.

(7)   Historical earnings per share were calculated based upon the weighted
      average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the quarter
      ended March 31, 1996, and during the period the Company was operational,
      June 2, 1995 (the date following when the Company received the minimum
      offering proceeds and funds were released from escrow) through December
      31, 1995.

      As a result of three of the six Pro Forma Properties being treated in
      the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended
      December 31, 1995, as placed in service on June 2, 1995 (the date the
      Company became operational), the Company assumed approximately 347,100
      shares of common stock were sold, and the net offering proceeds were
      available for investment, on June 2, 1996.  Due to the fact that
      approximately 184,800 of these shares of common stock were actually sold
      subsequently, during the period June 3, 1995 through June 20, 1995, the
      weighted average number of shares outstanding for the pro forma period
      was adjusted.  Pro forma earnings per share were calculated based upon
      the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as
      adjusted, during the period the Company was operational, June 2, 1995
      through December 31, 1995.
