             Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996


1.    Organization and Nature of Business:

      CNL American Properties Fund, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in
      Maryland on May 2, 1994, primarily for the purpose of acquiring,
      directly or indirectly through joint venture or co-tenancy arrangements,
      restaurant properties (the "Properties") to be leased on a long-term,
      triple-net basis to operators of certain national and regional fast-
      food, family-style and casual dining restaurant chains.  The Company may
      provide financing ("Mortgage Loans") for the purchase of buildings,
      generally by tenants that lease the underlying land from the Company. 
      To a lesser extent, the Company may offer furniture, fixtures and
      equipment financing ("Secured Equipment Leases") to operators of
      restaurant chains.

2.    Basis of Presentation:

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
      have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
      do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
      generally accepted accounting principles.  The financial statements
      reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
      which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement
      of the results for the interim periods presented.  Operating results for
      the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, may not be indicative of
      the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 
      Amounts as of December 31, 1996, included in the financial statements,
      have been derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

      These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
      Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

      The Company accounts for its 85.47% interest in CNL/Corral South Joint
      Venture using the consolidation method.  Minority interest represents
      the minority joint venture partner's proportionate share of the equity
      in the Company's consolidated joint venture.  All significant
      intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

      Certain items in the prior year's financial statements have been
      reclassified to conform to 1997 presentation.  These reclassifications
      had no effect on stockholders' equity or net earnings.

             Quarters and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996



2.    Basis of Presentation - Continued:

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per
      Share."  The Statement, which is effective for fiscal years ending after
      December 15, 1997, provides for a revised computation of earnings per
      share.  The Company will adopt this Standard in 1997 and does not expect
      compliance with such Standard to have a material effect, if any, on the
      Company's earnings per share.

3.    Leases:

      The Company leases its land, buildings and equipment subject to Secured
      Equipment Leases to operators or franchisees of national and regional
      fast-food, family-style and casual dining restaurants.  The leases are
      accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases."  The leases relating to 152
      of the Company's Properties have been classified as operating leases
      (including the leases relating to 33 properties under construction as of
      June 30, 1997) and the leases relating to 22 Properties and 14 Secured
      Equipment Leases have been classified as direct financing leases.  For
      the leases classified as direct financing leases, the building portions
      of the leases are accounted for as direct financing leases while the
      land portions of 14 of these leases are accounted for as operating
      leases.

4.    Land and Buildings on Operating Leases:

      In May 1997, the Company sold four of its Properties and the equipment
      relating to two secured Equipment Leases to the tenant.  The Company
      received net proceeds of approximately $6,216,400 which was equal to the
      carrying value of the Properties and the equipment at the time of the
      sale.  As a result, no gain or loss was recognized for financial
      reporting purposes.

      Some leases provide for scheduled rent increases throughout the lease
      term and/or rental payments during the construction of a Property prior
      to the date it is placed in service.  Such amounts are recognized on a
      straight-line basis over the terms of the leases commencing on the date
      the Property is placed in service.  For the six months ended June 30,
      1997 and 1996, the Company recognized $616,027 and $176,080,
      respectively, of such rental income, $346,287 and $63,175 of which was
      earned during the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

      The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments to be
      received on the noncancellable operating leases at June 30, 1997:

      Since leases are renewable at the option of the tenant, the above table
      only presents future minimum lease payments due during the initial lease
      terms.  In addition, this table does not include any amounts for future
      contingent rents which may be received on the leases based on the
      percentage of the tenant's gross sales.  These amounts do not include
      minimum lease payments that will become due when Properties under
      development are completed (See Note 12).

6.    Mortgage Notes Receivable:

      In March 1997, in connection with the acquisition of land for eight
      Pizza Hut restaurants, the Company accepted a promissory note in the
      principal sum of $4,200,000, collateralized by a mortgage on the
      buildings on the eight Pizza Hut Properties and three additional Pizza
      Hut buildings.  The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 10.5%
      per annum and is being collected in 240 equal monthly installments of
      $41,943.

</TABLE>

      Management believes that the estimated fair value of mortgage notes
      receivable at June 30, 1997, approximates the outstanding principal
      amount based on estimated current rates at which similar loans would be
      made to borrowers with similar credit and for similar maturities.

7.    Note Payable:

      On March 5, 1996, the Company entered into a line of credit and security
      agreement (the "Loan") with a bank to be used by the Company to offer
      Secured Equipment Leases.  The Loan provides that the Company will be
      able to receive advances of up to $15,000,000 until March 4, 1998.  As
      of June 30, 1997, $4,756,658 of principal was outstanding relating to
      the Loan, plus $26,751 of accrued interest.  In general, advances under
      the Loan are fully amortizing term loans repayable over six years and
      bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 215 basis points above the
      Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate (ranging from 7.84% to 7.86% as of June 30,
      1997).  The Company believes, based on current terms, that the carrying
      value of its note payable at June 30, 1997, approximates fair value.

      Interest costs (including amortization of loan costs) incurred for the
      quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, were $112,985 and $210,542,
      respectively, all of which were capitalized as part of the cost of
      buildings under construction.

8.    Stock Issuance Costs:

      The Company has incurred certain expenses of its offerings of shares,
      including commissions, marketing support and due diligence expense
      reimbursement fees, filing fees, legal, accounting, printing and escrow
      fees, which have been deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering. 
      Preliminary costs incurred prior to raising capital were advanced by an
      affiliate of the Company, CNL Fund Advisors, Inc.  (the "Advisor").  
      The Advisor has agreed to pay all offering expenses (excluding
      commissions and marketing support and due diligence expense
      reimbursement fees) which exceed three percent of the gross offering
      proceeds received from the sale of shares of the Company.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December
      31, 1996, the Company incurred $9,285,646 and $9,216,102, respectively,
      in stock issuance costs, including $6,767,682 and $8,063,439,
      respectively, in commissions and marketing support and due diligence
      expense reimbursement fees (see Note 10).  The stock issuance costs have
      been charged to stockholders' equity subject to the three percent cap
      described above.

9.    Distributions:

      For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, approximately 92 and 85
      percent, respectively, of the distributions paid to stockholders were
      considered ordinary income and approximately eight and 15 percent,
      respectively, were considered a return of capital to stockholders for
      federal income tax purposes.  No amounts distributed to the stockholders
      for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, are required to be or
      have been treated by the Company as a return of capital for purposes of
      calculating the stockholders' return on their invested capital.  The
      characterization for tax purposes of distributions declared for the six
      months ended June 30, 1997, may not be indicative of the results that
      may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

10.   Related Party Transactions:

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred
      $6,344,702 in selling commissions due to CNL Securities Corp. for
      services in connection with the offering of shares.  A substantial
      portion of this amount ($5,848,410) was or will be paid by CNL
      Securities Corp. as commissions to other broker-dealers.

      In addition, CNL Securities Corp. is entitled to receive a marketing
      support and due diligence expense reimbursement fee equal to 0.5% of the
      total amount raised from the sale of shares, a portion of which may be
      re-allowed to other broker-dealers.  During the six months ended June
      30, 1997, the Company incurred $422,980 of such fees, the majority of
      which were reallowed to other broker-dealers and from which all bona
      fide due diligence expenses were paid.

      The Advisor is entitled to receive acquisition fees for services in
      identifying the Properties and structuring the terms of the acquisition
      and leases of the Properties and structuring the terms of the Mortgage
      Loans equal to 4.5% of the total amount raised from the sale of shares. 
      During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred
      $3,806,821 of such fees.  Such fees are included in land and buildings
      on operating leases, net investment in direct financing leases, mortgage
      notes receivable and other assets.

      In connection with the acquisition of Properties that are being or have
      been constructed or renovated by affiliates, subject to approval by the
      Company's Board of Directors, the Company may incur
      development/construction management fees payable to affiliates of the
      Company.  Such fees are included  in the purchase price of the
      Properties and are therefore included in the basis on which the Company
      charges rent on the Properties.  During the six months ended June 30,
      1997, the Company incurred $178,879 of such amounts relating to three
      Properties.  No such amounts were incurred for the six months ended June
      30, 1996.

      For negotiating Secured Equipment Leases and supervising the Secured
      Equipment Lease program, the Advisor is entitled to receive a one-time
      secured equipment lease servicing fee of two percent of the purchase
      price of the Equipment that is the subject of a Secured Equipment Lease. 
      During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company incurred
      $54,598 and $10,776, respectively, in secured equipment lease servicing
      fees.

      The Company and the Advisor have entered into an advisory agreement
      pursuant to which the Advisor will receive a monthly asset and mortgage
      management fee of one-twelfth of 0.60% of the Company's real estate
      asset value (generally, the total amount invested in the Properties as
      of the end of the preceding month, exclusive of acquisition fees and
      acquisition expenses),  plus one-twelfth  of 0.60% of the  Company's
      total

      principal amount of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the preceding
      month.  The management fee, which will not exceed fees which are
      competitive for similar services in the same geographic area, may or may
      not be taken, in whole or in part as to any year, in the sole discretion
      of the Advisor.  All or any portion of the management fee not taken as
      to any fiscal year shall be deferred without interest and may be taken
      in such other fiscal year as the Advisor shall determine.  During the
      six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company incurred $300,656
      and $100,526, respectively, of such fees, $41,400 and $2,853,
      respectively, of which was capitalized as part of the cost of building
      for Properties under construction.

      The Advisor and its affiliates provide accounting and administrative
      services to the Company (including accounting and administrative
      services in connection with the offerings of shares) on a day-to-day
      basis.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the expenses
      incurred for these services were classified as follows:

      respectively, from affiliates of the Company.  The affiliates had
      purchased and temporarily held title to the Properties in order to
      facilitate the acquisition of the Properties by the Company.  The
      Properties were acquired at a cost no greater than the lesser of the
      cost of each Property to the affiliate (including carrying costs) or the
      Property's appraised value.

      Although the Company's Properties are geographically diverse and the
      Company's lessees and borrowers operate a variety of restaurant
      concepts, failure of any one of these restaurant chains or any lessee or
      borrower that contributes more than ten percent of the Company's rental,
      earned and interest income could significantly impact the results of
      operations of the Company.  However, management believes that the risk
      of such a default is reduced due to the essential or important nature of
      these Properties for the on-going operations of the lessees and
      borrowers.

12.   Commitments:

      The Company has entered into various development agreements with tenants
      which provide terms and specifications for the construction of buildings
      the tenants have agreed to lease.  The agreements provide a maximum
      amount of development costs (including the purchase price of the land
      and closing costs) to be paid by the Company.  The aggregate maximum
      development costs the Company has agreed to pay is approximately
      $37,343,000 of which approximately $29,936,300 in land and other costs
      had been incurred as of June 30, 1997.  The buildings currently under
      construction are expected to be operational by December 1997.  In
      connection with the purchase of each Property, the Company, as lessor,
      entered into a long-term lease agreement.

      a revolving $35,000,000 unsecured line of credit (the "Line of Credit")
      to purchase and develop Properties and to fund Mortgage Loans and
      Secured Equipment Leases.  The advances will bear interest at a rate of
      LIBOR plus 1.65% or the bank's prime rate, whichever the Company selects
      at the time of borrowing.  Interest only will be repayable monthly until
      June 30, 1999, at which time all remaining interest and principal shall
      be due.  The Line of Credit will provide for two one-year renewal
      options.  The Commitment will expire unless it is closed on or before
      August 29, 1997.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

      The Company is a Maryland corporation that was organized on May 2, 1994,
to acquire Properties, directly or indirectly through joint venture or co-
tenancy arrangements, to be leased on a long-term, "triple-net" basis to
operators of certain national and regional fast-food, family-style and casual
dining restaurant chains.  In addition, the Company may provide financing
generally for the purchase of buildings by borrowers that lease the underlying
land from the Company.  To a lesser extent, the Company may offer Secured
Equipment Leases to operators of restaurant chains.

      As of June 30, 1997, the Company owned 174 Properties (including one
Property through a joint venture arrangement, and 33 Properties which were
under construction at June 30, 1997).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      In April 1995, the Company commenced an offering of its shares of common
stock (the "Initial Offering").  During the period January 1, 1997 through
February 6, 1997, the Company received subscription proceeds of $11,344,616
(1,134,462 shares) from its Initial Offering, thereby completing such
offering.  As of the completion of its Initial Offering, the Company had
received subscription proceeds of $150,591,765 (15,059,177 shares), including
$591,765 (59,177 shares) pursuant to the Company's reinvestment plan. 
Following the completion of its Initial Offering on February 6, 1997, the
Company commenced an offering of up to 27,500,000 shares of common stock (the
"Subsequent Offering).  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had received
subscription proceeds of $73,251,412 (7,325,141 shares) from the Subsequent
Offering, including $643,293 (64,329 shares) pursuant to the reinvestment
plan.  Net proceeds to the Company from the Initial Offering and the
Subsequent Offering, after deduction of offering expenses, totalled
$75,310,383 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

      At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on April 4, 1997,
the stockholders approved amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of
capital stock from 46,000,000 shares to 156,000,000 shares (consisting of
75,000,000 common shares, 3,000,000 preferred shares and 78,000,000 excess
shares). 
      
      During the six months ended June 30, 1997, approximately $92,000,000 was
used to invest, or committed for investment, in 80 Properties (33 Properties
on which a restaurant was being constructed as of June 30, 1997), in providing
mortgage financing of $4,200,000 and to pay acquisition fees to the Advisor
totalling $3,806,821 and certain acquisition expenses.  The Company acquired
two of the 80 Properties from affiliates for purchase prices totalling
approximately $1,773,300.  The  affiliates  had  purchased  and  temporarily
held title to these Properties in order


                                      17

to facilitate the acquisition of the Properties by the Company.  Each Property
was acquired at a cost no greater than the lesser of the cost of the Property
to the affiliate (including carrying costs) or the Property's appraised value.

      In connection with the 33 Properties under construction at June 30,
1997, the Company has entered into various development agreements with tenants
which provide terms and specifications for the construction of buildings the
tenants have agreed to lease.  The agreements provide a maximum amount of
development costs (including the purchase price of the land and closing costs)
to be paid by the Company.  The aggregate maximum development costs the
Company has agreed to pay are approximately $37,343,000, of which
approximately $29,936,300 had been incurred as of June 30, 1997.  The
buildings under construction as of June 30, 1997, are expected to be
operational by December 1997.  In connection with the purchase of each
Property, the Company, as lessor, entered into a long-term lease agreement.

      In May 1997, the Company sold four of its Properties and the equipment
relating to two secured Equipment Leases to the tenant.  The Company received
net proceeds of approximately $6,216,400 which was equal to the carrying value
of the Properties and the equipment at the time of the sale.  As a result, no
gain or loss was recognized for financial reporting purposes.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company also received
advances totalling $2,888,163 under the Loan.  Such amounts were used to fund
Secured Equipment Leases.  During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the
Company repaid $1,653,321 under the Loan, a portion of which was received from
the sales proceeds of the two Secured Equipment Leases described above.  The
Company expects to obtain additional advances under the Loan to fund the
remaining amounts due for Secured Equipment Leases and any Secured Equipment
Leases entered into in the future.

      During the period July 1, 1997 through August 5, 1997, the Company
acquired 20 additional Properties (four on which restaurants are being
constructed and five on which a restaurant is being renovated) for cash at a
total cost of approximately $20,377,100.  The buildings under construction are
expected to be operational by August 1998.

      The Company presently is negotiating to acquire additional Properties,
but as of August 5, 1997, had not acquired any such Properties.

      As of August 5, 1997, the Company had received aggregate subscription
proceeds of $243,937,211 (24,393,721 shares) from its Initial Offering and
Subsequent Offering, including $1,235,058 (123,506 shares) through its
reinvestment plan.  As of August 5, 1997, the Company had invested or
committed for investment approximately $207,931,000 of aggregate net proceeds
from the Initial  Offering and the Subsequent Offering in 194 Properties, in



                                      18

providing mortgage financing to the tenants of 44 Properties consisting of
land only through Mortgage Loans and in paying acquisition fees and certain
acquisition expenses, leaving approximately $10,709,000 in aggregate   net 
offering  proceeds  available for investment in Properties and Mortgage Loans.

      The Company expects to use uninvested net offering proceeds, plus any
net offering proceeds from the sale of additional shares, to purchase
additional Properties, to fund construction costs relating to the Properties
under construction and to make Mortgage Loans.  The Company expects to use the
proceeds of the Loan to fund the Secured Equipment Lease program.  The number
of Properties to be acquired and Mortgage Loans to be entered into will depend
upon the amount of net offering proceeds available to the Company, although
the Company is expected to have a total portfolio of 400 to 450 Properties if
the maximum number of shares are sold in the Subsequent Offering.  The Company
intends to limit the amount of Secured Equipment Leases it enters into to ten
percent of gross offering proceeds from its offerings.

      On August 5, 1997, the Company obtained a commitment (the "Commitment")
from a bank to amend and restate its Loan described in Note 7.  The Commitment
provides that the Company will be able to receive advances on a revolving
$35,000,000 unsecured line of credit (the "Line of Credit") to purchase and
develop Properties and to fund Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases. 
The advances will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.65% or the bank's
prime rate, whichever the Company selects at the time of borrowing.  Interest
only will be repayable monthly until June 30, 1999, at which time all
remaining interest and principal shall be due.  The Line of Credit will
provide for two one-year renewal options.  The Commitment will expire unless
it is closed on or before August 29, 1997.  

      The Line of Credit will provide short-term financing which the Company
anticipates will be repaid using additional offering proceeds and payments
received from Secured Equipment Leases, or refinanced on a long-term basis. 
The Company will not encumber Properties in connection with the Line of
Credit.  Management believes that during the offering period the Line of
Credit will allow the Company to make investments in Properties that the
Company otherwise would be forced to delay until it raised a sufficient amount
of proceeds from the sale of Shares to allow the Company to make the
investments.  By eliminating this delay the Company will also eliminate the
risk that these investments will no longer be available, or the terms of the
investment will be less favorable, when the Company has raised sufficient
offering proceeds.  Alternatively, Affiliates of the Advisor could make such
investments, pending receipt by the Company of sufficient offering proceeds,
in order to preserve the investment opportunities for the Company.  However,
Properties acquired by the Company in this manner would be subject to closing
costs both on the original purchase by the Affiliate and on the subsequent
purchase by the Company,  which  would  increase  the amount of expenses
associated
                                      19

with the acquisition of Properties and reduce the amount of offering proceeds
available for investment in income-producing assets.  Management believes that
the use of Line of Credit by the Company will enable the Company to reduce or
eliminate the instances in which the Company will be required to pay duplicate
closing costs. 

      Properties are and will be leased on a triple-net basis, meaning that
tenants are generally required to pay all repairs and maintenance, property
taxes, insurance and utilities.  Rental payments under the leases are expected
to exceed the Company's operating expenses.  For these reasons, no short-term
or long-term liquidity problems currently are anticipated by management.

      Until Properties are acquired, or Mortgage Loans are entered into, net
offering proceeds are held in short-term, highly liquid investments which
management believes to have appropriate safety of principal.  This investment
strategy provides high liquidity in order to facilitate the Company's use of
these funds to acquire Properties or to fund Mortgage Loans at such time as
Properties suitable for acquisition and investments in Mortgage Notes are
identified.  At June 30, 1997, the Company had $31,097,346 invested in such
short-term investments, as compared to $42,450,088 at December 31, 1996. 
These funds will be used primarily to purchase and develop or renovate
Properties (directly or indirectly through joint venture arrangements), to
make Mortgage Loans, to pay offering and acquisition costs, to pay
distributions to stockholders, to meet Company expenses and, in management's
discretion, to create cash reserves.  The decrease in the amount invested in
short-term investments is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
additional Properties, as described above, during the six months ended June
30, 1997.  

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, affiliates of the
Company incurred on behalf of the Company $1,361,009 and $495,800,
respectively, for certain offering expenses, $329,237  and $107,383,
respectively, for certain acquisition expenses, and $236,639 and $149,802,
respectively, for certain operating expenses.  As of June 30, 1997, the
Company owed the Advisor $790,223 for such amounts, unpaid fees and accounting
and administrative expenses.  As of August 5, 1997, the Company had reimbursed
all such amounts.  The Advisor has agreed to pay or reimburse to the Company
all offering expenses in excess of three percent of gross offering proceeds.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company
generated cash from operations (which includes cash received from tenants and
interest and other income received, less cash paid for operating expenses) of
$6,314,003 and $1,573,575, respectively.  Based on current and anticipated
future cash from operations the Company declared distributions to the
stockholders of $6,282,470 and $1,868,487, respectively, during the six months
ended  June 30, 1997  and  1996.  In addition, on July 1, 1997, the


                                      20


<PAGE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

Company declared distributions to its stockholders totalling $1,403,244, 
payable  in  September 1997.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
approximately 92 and 85 percent, respectively, of the distributions received
by stockholders were considered to be ordinary income and approximately eight
and 15 percent, respectively, were considered a return of capital for federal
income tax purposes.  However, no amounts distributed or to be distributed to
the stockholders as of August 5, 1997, are required to be or have been treated
by the Company as a return of capital for purposes of calculating the
stockholders' return on their invested capital.

      Management believes that the Properties are adequately covered by
insurance.  In addition, the Advisor obtained contingent liability and
property coverage for the Company.  This insurance policy is intended to
reduce the Company's exposure in the unlikely event  a  tenant's  insurance 
policy  lapses or is insufficient to cover a claim  relating to the  Property. 
The Company's investment strategy of acquiring Properties for cash and leasing
them under triple-net leases to operators who meet specified financial
standards is expected to minimize the Company's operating expenses.

      Due to the fact that the Properties are leased on a long-term, triple-
net basis, management does not believe that working capital reserves are
necessary at this time.  Management has the right to cause the Company to
maintain reserves if, in their discretion, they determine such reserves are
required to meet the Company's working capital needs.

      Management expects that the cash generated from operations will be
adequate to pay operating expenses.

Results of Operations

      As of June 30, 1997, the Company and its consolidated joint venture,
CNL/Corral South Joint Venture (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the
Company) had purchased and entered into long-term, triple-net leases for 178
Properties (including four Properties in each of Marlboro, and Hazlet, New
Jersey and Hamden and Orange, Connecticut, which were sold in May 1997).  The
leases provide for minimum base annual rental payments (payable in monthly
installments) ranging from approximately $34,800 to $467,500.  In addition,
certain leases provide for percentage rent based on sales in excess of a
specified amount.  The majority of the leases also provide that, commencing in
generally the sixth lease year, the annual base rent required under the terms
of the leases will increase.  In connection therewith, during the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company earned $4,965,297 and $1,704,185,
respectively, in rental income from operating leases and earned income from
direct financing lease from 143 Properties and 16 Secured Equipment Leases in
1997 (including two Secured Equipment Leases in Marlboro and Hazlet, New
Jersey, which were sold  in  May  1997) and from 41 Properties in 1996
($2,875,512 and


                                      21

Results of Operations - Continued

$905,104 of which was earned during the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively).  Because the Company  has  not  yet acquired all of its
Properties, revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
represent only a portion of revenues which the Company is expected to earn in
future periods in which the Company's Properties are operational.

      As of June 30, 1997, the Company had also entered into Mortgage Loans in
the principal sum of $17,047,000, collateralized by mortgages on the buildings
relating to 44 Pizza Hut Properties and two additional Pizza Hut buildings. 
The Mortgage Loans bear interest at rates ranging from 10.5% to 10.75% per
annum and are being collected in 240 equal monthly installments in the
aggregate amount of $167,455.  In connection therewith, the Company earned
$815,192 and $465,498 in interest income relating to such Mortgage Loans
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, $439,835 and
$280,549 of which was earned during the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997, two affiliated group of
lessees and borrowers, Castle Hill and Foodmaker, Inc., each represented more
than ten percent of the Company's total rental, earned and interest income
from its Properties,  Mortgage Loans and  Secured Equipment Leases.  Castle
Hill is the lessee under leases relating to 44 restaurants and is the borrower
on Mortgage Loans relating to the buildings on such Properties and Foodmaker,
Inc. is the lessee under leases relating to 17 restaurants.  In addition,
during the six months ended June 30, 1997, four restaurant chains, Golden
Corral Family Steakhouse, Pizza Hut, Jack in the Box, and Boston Market, each
accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's total rental, earned and
interest income relating to its Properties, Mortgage Loans and Secured
Equipment Leases.  Because the Company has not completed its investment in
Properties and Mortgage Loans, it is not possible to determine which lessees,
borrowers or restaurant chains will contribute more than ten percent of the
Company's rental, earned and interest income during the remainder of 1997 and
subsequent years.  In the event that certain lessees, borrowers or restaurant
chains contribute more than ten percent of the Company's rental and interest
income in the current and future years, any failure of such lessees, borrowers
or restaurants chains could materially affect the Company's income.

      During the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company also
earned $934,745 and $211,789, respectively, in interest income from
investments in money market accounts or other short-term, highly liquid
investments and other income $460,329 and $135,940 of which was earned during
the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  As net offering
proceeds are invested in Properties and used to make Mortgage Loans, interest
income from investments in money market accounts or other short-term, highly
liquid investments is expected to decrease.

Results of Operations - Continued

      Operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense,
were $1,472,413 and $670,107 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, of which $792,590 and $369,568  were  incurred  for  the
quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Operating expenses
increased primarily as a result  of  the Company having invested in additional
Properties and Mortgage Loans during the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997, as compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996.  General
and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues is expected to
decrease as the Company acquires additional Properties, invests in Mortgage
Loans and the Properties under construction become operational.  However,
asset and mortgage management fees and depreciation and amortization expense
are expected to increase as the Company invests in additional Properties and
Mortgage Loans.

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  The
Statement, which is effective for fiscal years  ending  after  December 15,
1997,  provides  for  a  revised computation of earnings per share.  The
Company will adopt this Standard in 1997 and does not expect compliance with
such Standard to have a material effect, if any, on the Company's earnings per
share.

      This information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those
set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Certain factors that might cause
such a difference include the following:  changes in general economic
conditions, changes in local real estate conditions, continued availability of
proceeds from the Company's offering, the ability of the Company to locate
suitable tenants for its Properties and borrowers for its Mortgage Loans, and
the ability of tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective
leases or Mortgage Loans.
