ITEM 1.  CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

              Not applicable.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         STATUS OF THE OFFERING

         On February 6, 1997, the Company commenced an offering (the
"Offering") of up to 27,500,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares").  As
of June 12, 1997, the Company had received subscription proceeds of
$62,986,327 (6,298,633 Shares) including $269,438 (26,944 Shares) issued
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan, from 3,012 stockholders in connection
with the Offering.  The proceeds of the Offering will be 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 May 8, 1997 and June 12, 1997, the Company acquired 27
Properties consisting of land and building, with the proceeds of the Offering.
These Properties are two Golden Corral Properties (one in each of Corpus
Christi, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida), one IHOP Property (in Leesburg,
Virginia), one Popeyes Property (in Starke, Florida), two Jack in the Box
Properties (one in each of Fresno, California, and Corinth, Texas), one Ruth's
Chris Steak House Property (in Tampa, Florida), two Charley's Place Properties
(one in each of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and McLean, Virginia), 15
Darryl's Properties (one in each of Evansville, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky;
Hampton, Virginia; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Huntsville, Mobile and
Montgomery, Alabama; Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee; Orlando and Pensacola,
Florida; and two in each of Raleigh, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia)
and three Houlihan's Properties (one in each of Bethel Park, Langhorne and
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania).

         In connection with the purchase of these 27 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 or renovated, the Company has entered into development
and indemnification and put agreements with the lessees.

         The following table sets forth the location of the 27 Properties,
consisting of land and building, acquired by the Company from May 8, 1997
through June 12, 1997, a description of the competition, and a summary of the
principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each 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 each Property has been depreciated on the straight-line
      method over 39 years.

(5)   The development agreements for the Properties which are to be
      constructed, provide that construction must be completed no later than
      the dates set forth below:

                 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 March
31, 1997, including the receipt of $177,015,590 in gross offering proceeds
from the sale of 17,701,559 shares of common stock and the application of such
proceeds to purchase 123 properties (including 68 properties which consist of
land and building, one property through a joint venture arrangement which
consists of land and building, 11 properties which consist of building only
and 43 properties which consist of land only), 17 of which were under
construction at March 31, 1997, to provide mortgage financing to the lessees
of the 43 properties consisting of land only, and to pay organizational and
offering expenses, acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses,
(ii) the receipt of $36,562,502 in gross offering proceeds from the sale of
3,656,251 additional shares of common stock during the period April 1, 1997
through June 12, 1997, and (iii) the application of such funds and $39,734,272
of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997, to purchase 52 additional
properties acquired during the period April 1, 1997 through June 12, 1997 (27
of which are under construction and consist of land and building, 23
properties which consist of land and building, one property which consists of
land only and one property which consists of building only), to pay additional
costs for the 17 properties under construction at March 31, 1997, 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 March 31, 1997, includes the
transactions described in (i) above from the historical consolidated balance
sheet, adjusted to give effect to the transactions in (ii) and (iii) above, as
if they had occurred on March 31, 1997.

      The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, include the historical
operating results of the properties described in (i) above from the dates of
their acquisitions plus operating results for six of the properties that were
acquired by the Company during the period January 1, 1996 through June 12,
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) January 1, 1996,
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 Statement of Earnings for the
remaining properties acquired by the Company during the period January 1, 1996
through June 12, 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.

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings:

(1)   Represents rental income from operating leases and earned income from
      direct financing leases for six of the properties acquired during the
      period January 1, 1996 through June 12, 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) January 1, 1996, 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
      six 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 or placed in
      service 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 Statement of Earnings.

      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.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                            STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
   FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings - Continued:

      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 1997 that the previous owners held the
      properties, no pro forma adjustment was made for percentage rental
      income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
      December 31, 1996.

(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) January 1, 1996, 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, 1997 and the
      year ended December 31, 1996.

(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) January 1, 1996 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
      $2,126,000 and $4,762,000 for the Pro Forma Properties for the quarter
      ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996,
      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 two
      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, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996.
