ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

              Not applicable.

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 January 24, 1997, the Company had received aggregate
subscription proceeds of $146,448,520 (14,644,852 Shares) from 7,551
stockholders, including $591,765 (59,177 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

         Between January 9, 1997 and January 24, 1997, the Company acquired
five Properties consisting of land and building.  The Properties are four Jack
in the Box Properties (one in each of Moscow, Idaho; Kent, Washington; and
Hollister and Kingsburg, California) and a Shoney's Property (in Indian
Harbour Beach, Florida).

         In connection with the purchase of these five 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.  In addition, in
connection with the purchase of these Properties, which 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 the five Properties
consisting of land and building, acquired by the Company, from January 9, 1997
through January 24, 1997, a description of the competition, and a summary of
the principal terms of the acquisition and lease of the Property.

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.

(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 the Properties has been depreciated on the straight-line
      method over 39 years.

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


      The following Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company gives
effect to (i) property acquisition transactions from inception through
September 30, 1996, including the receipt of $102,960,893 in gross offering
proceeds from the sale of 10,296,089 shares of common stock pursuant to a Form
S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, effective March 29, 1995,
and the application of such proceeds to purchase 82 properties (including 42
properties which consist of land and building, one property through a joint
venture arrangement which consists of land and building, six properties which
consist of building only and 33 properties consisting of land only), 10 of
which were under construction at September 30, 1996, to provide mortgage
financing to the lessees of the 33 properties consisting of land only, and to
pay organizational and offering expenses, acquisition fees and miscellaneous
acquisition expenses, (ii) the receipt of $43,487,627 in gross offering
proceeds from the sale of 4,348,763 additional shares of common stock during
the period October 1, 1996 through January 24, 1997, and (iii) the application
of such funds to purchase 19 additional properties acquired during the period
October 1, 1996 through January 24, 1997 (14 of which are under construction
and consist of land and building, one which is under construction and consists
of building only, two properties which consist of land and building and two
properties which consist of land only), to pay additional costs for the 10
properties under construction at September 30, 1996, and to pay offering
expenses, acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses, all as
reflected in the pro forma adjustments described in the related notes.  The
Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 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 September 30, 1996.

      The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months
ended September 30, 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 101
properties that were owned by the Company as of January 24, 1997, 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 94 properties owned by the Company as of January
24, 1997, due to the fact that these properties did not have a previous rental
history.

      This pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the
Company's financial results or condition if the various events and
transactions reflected therein had occurred on the dates, or been in effect
during the periods, indicated.  This pro forma consolidated financial
information should not be viewed as predictive of the Company's financial
results or conditions in the future.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet - Continued:
- ------------------------------------------------

(b)   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. 
      Fifteen properties have been classified as direct financing leases.  For
      the leases classified as direct financing leases, the building portions
      of six of the properties have been classified as direct financing leases
      while the land portions of these leases are operating 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 101 properties acquired
      during the period June 2, 1995 (the date the Company began operations)
      through January 24, 1997, 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.

                 FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                     AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

      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 nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the year ended
      December 31, 1995.

(2)   See Note (b) 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
      nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine
      months ended September 30, 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, 1995.  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.
