PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

         Between October 4, 1997 and October 20, 1997, the Company acquired 14
Properties, including 13 Properties consisting of land and building and one
Property consisting of building only. These Properties are 11 Ground Round
Properties (one in each of Allentown and Reading, Pennsylvania; Colerain and
Parma, Ohio; Dubuque and Waterloo, Iowa; Janesville and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin;
Crystal, Minnesota; Gloucester, New Jersey; and Kalamazoo, Michigan), two Jack
in the Box Properties (one in each of Florissant, Missouri; and Folsom,
California) and one On The Border (in San Antonio, Texas). For information
regarding the Properties acquired by the Company prior to October 4, 1997, see
the Prospectus dated April 18, 1997 and the Prospectus Supplement dated October
21, 1997.

         The Jack in the Box Properties in Florissant, Missouri, and Folsom,
California, were acquired from Affiliates of the Company. The Affiliates had
purchase and temporarily held title to these Properties in order to facilitate
their acquisition by the Company. The Properties were acquired by the Company
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,340,000, representing the
cost of the Properties to the Affiliates (including carrying costs) due to the
fact that the amounts were less than each Property's appraised value.

       above base sales, and 5% for an increase of 66.8% to 100% above base
       sales. For increases in gross sales in excess of 100%, percentage rent
       shall decrease by .5% for every additional 33.33% increase above base

PENDING INVESTMENTS

         As of October 20, 1997, the Company had initial commitments to acquire
nine properties, including eight properties consisting of land and building and
one property consisting of building only. The acquisition of each of these
properties is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including, but
not limited to, a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal.
There can be no assurance that any or all of the conditions will be satisfied
or, if satisfied, that one or more of these properties will be acquired by the
Company. If acquired, the leases of all nine of these properties are expected to
be entered into on substantially the same terms described in the section of the
Prospectus entitled "Business - Description of Property Leases."

         In connection with the IHOP property in Saugus, Massachusetts, the
Company anticipates owning only the building and not the underlying land.
However, the Company anticipates entering into a landlord estoppel agreement
with the landlord of the land and a collateral assignment of the ground lease
with the lessee in order to provide the Company with certain rights with respect
to the land on which the building is located.

         Set forth below are summarized terms expected to apply to the leases
for each of the properties. More detailed information relating to a property and
its related lease will be provided at such time, if any, as the property is
acquired.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)    The "Total Cost" is equal to the sum of (i) the purchase price of the
       property, (ii) closing costs, and (iii) actual development costs incurred
       under the development agreement.

(2)    In the event the Company purchases the property directly from the lessee,
       the lessee will have no option to purchase the property.

(3)    The Company anticipates owning the building only for this property. The
       Company will not own the underlying land; although, the Company
       anticipates entering into a landlord estoppel agreement with the landlord
       of the land and a collateral assignment of the ground lease with the
       lessee in order to provide the Company with certain rights with respect
       to the land on which the building is located.

(4)    The lease term shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the date 20 years
       from the date of closing, (ii) the expiration of the original term of the
       ground lease, or (iii) the earlier termination of the ground lease.

(5)    For each lease year, percentage rent shall be calculated upon the amount
       by which gross sales exceed a to be determined breakpoint (base sales) as
       follows; 6% for an increase of 0% to 33.33% above base sales, 5.5% for an
       increase of 33.34% to 66.7% above base sales, and 5% for an increase of
       66.8% to 100% above base sales. For increases in gross sales in excess of
       100%, percentage rent shall decrease by .5% for every additional 33.33%
       increase above base sales.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)    Base rent does not include percentage rents which become due if specified
       levels of gross receipts are achieved.

(2)    The Properties will be managed pursuant to an advisory agreement between
       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. See
       "Management Compensation."

(3)    Estimated at 6.2% of gross rental income based on 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 year following the year in
       which the offering terminates.

(4)    The estimated federal tax basis of the depreciable portion (the building
       portion) of each Property has been depreciated on the straight-line
       method over 39 years.
