PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

      Between October 4, 1997 and December 3, 1997, the Company acquired 18
Properties, including 17 Properties consisting of land and building and one
Property consisting of building only.  These Properties are 13 Ground Round
Properties (one in each of Allentown and Reading, Pennsylvania; Colerain and
Parma, Ohio; Dubuque and Waterloo, Iowa; Janesville and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin;
Gloucester and Ewing, New Jersey; Crystal, Minnesota; Kalamazoo, Michigan; and
Nanuet, New York), two Jack in the Box Properties (one in each of Florissant,
Missouri; and Folsom, California), one On The Border Property (in San Antonio,
Texas), one Wendy's Property (in Westlake Village, California) and one Golden
Corral Property (in Muskogee, Oklahoma).  For information regarding the

<PAGE>

      The Jack in the Box Properties in Florissant, Missouri, and Folsom,
California, were acquired from Affiliates of the Company.  The Affiliates had
purchased 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.

      In connection with the purchase of the 13 Ground Round Properties, the two
Jack in the Box Properties, the one Wendy's Property and the one Golden Corral
Property, which are land and building, the Company, as lessor, entered into
long-term lease agreements with unaffiliated lessees.  The general terms of the
lease agreements are described in the section of the Prospectus entitled
"Business - Description of Property Leases."  For the Properties that are to be
constructed, the Company has entered into development and indemnification and
put agreements with the lessees.  The general terms of these agreements are
described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Business - Site Selection
and Acquisition of Properties - Construction and Renovation."

      In connection with the On The Border Property in San Antonio, Texas, which
is building only, the Company, as lessor, entered into a long-term lease
agreement with an unaffiliated lessee.  The general terms of the lease agreement
are described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Business - Description
of Property Leases."  In connection with the purchase of this Property, which is
to be constructed, the Company has entered into development and indemnification
and put agreements with the lessee.  The general terms of these agreements are
described in the section of the Prospectus entitled "Business - Site Selection
and Acquisition of Properties - Construction and Renovation."  In connection
with this acquisition, the Company has also entered into a tri-party agreement
with the lessee and the owner of the land.  The tri-party agreement provides
that the ground lessee is responsible for all obligations under the ground lease
and provides certain rights to the Company relating to the maintenance of its
interest in the building in the event of a default by the lessee under the terms
of the ground lease.

      The following table sets forth the location of the 18 Properties,
including 17 Properties consisting of land and building and one Property
consisting of building only, acquired by the Company, from October 4, 1997
through December 3, 1997, a description of the competition, and a summary of the
principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each Property.

     December 31).

(8)  The Company owns the building only for this Property.  The Company does not

     building is located.

(9)  Base rent shall increase after every five years during the lease term by
     the lesser of (i) 10% of the minimum base rent during the preceding year or
     (ii) 150% of the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index.

     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.  Base sales
     are as follows:

PENDING INVESTMENTS

     As of December 3, 1997, the Company had initial commitments to acquire ten
properties, including nine 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 ten 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.

BORROWING

     Between October 4, 1997 and December 3, 1997, the Company obtained six
advances totalling $1,760,940 under the Line of Credit.  The proceeds of these
advances were used to acquire Equipment for six restaurant properties, one in
each of Rapid City, South Dakota; London, Kentucky; Guadalupe, Arizona; Sparta,
Tennessee; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Kingston, Tennessee.

     In addition, on November 14, 1997, the Company used $19 million of
uninvested net offering proceeds to temporarily reduce the balance outstanding
under the Line of Credit pending the investment of such offering proceeds in
Properties or Mortgage Loans in order to reduce interest expense incurred by the
Company.

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.
