                                   BUSINESS

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

      Between January 25, 1997 and February 20, 1997, the Company acquired
nine Properties consisting of land and building.  The Properties are four Jack
in the Box Properties (one in each of Humble and Houston, Texas; and Murrieta
and Palmdale, California), two Burger King Properties (in Kent, Ohio; and
Chattanooga, Tennessee), two Golden Corral Properties (one in each of
Winchester and Hopkinsville, Kentucky) and a Denny's Property (in Tampa,
Florida).  For information regarding the 101 Properties acquired by the
Company prior to January 25, 1997, see the Prospectus dated January 31, 1997.

      The Burger King Property in Kent, Ohio, and the Golden Corral Property
in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, 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 $1,768,185,
representing the cost of the Properties to the Affiliates (including carrying
costs) due to the fact that these amounts were less than each Property's
appraised value.



February 26, 1997                              Prospectus Dated April 26, 1996






      In connection with the purchase of these nine Properties, 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 or renovated, 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."

      The purchase prices for the Burger King Property in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, and the Golden Corral Property in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, include
development fees of $100,000 and $29,379, respectively, to an Affiliate of the
Advisor for services provided in connection with the development of the
Properties.  The Company considers development fees, to the extent that they
are paid to Affiliates, to be Acquisition Fees.  Such development fees must be
approved by a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the
Independent Directors) not otherwise interested in such transactions, subject
to a determination that such transactions are fair and reasonable to the
Company and on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company than
those available from unaffiliated third parties and not less favorable than
those available from the Advisor or its Affiliates in transactions with
unaffiliated third parties.  See the sections of the Prospectus entitled
"Management Compensation" and "Business - Site Selection and Acquisition of
Properties."

      As of February 20, 1997, the Company had initial commitments to acquire
nine properties, consisting of land and building.  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."

      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 AND SECURED EQUIPMENT LEASE

      Between January 25, 1997 and February 20, 1997, the Company obtained
three advances totalling $533,068 under its $15,000,000 Loan.  The proceeds of
these advances were used to acquire Equipment for three restaurant properties,
two in Warner Robins, Georgia (the "Warner Robins #1 Secured Equipment Lease"
and the "Warner Robins #2 Secured Equipment Lease") and one in El Cajon,
California (the "El Cajon Secured Equipment Lease"), at a cost of $533,068,
including Secured Equipment Lease Servicing Fees of $10,412 to the Advisor. 
The Warner Robins #1 Secured Equipment Lease and Warner Robins #2 Secured
Equipment Lease are fully amortizing term loans repayable over five years. 
The El Cajon Secured Equipment Lease is considered to be an interest only loan
for the first two months and upon obtaining an additional advance prior to May
1997 will become a fully amortizing term loan repayable over six years.  The
advances bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 215 basis points above the
Reserve Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Loan).

      The following table sets forth a summary of the principal terms of the
acquisition and lease of the Equipment.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)   The Secured Equipment Lease is expected to be treated as a loan secured
      by personal property for federal income tax purposes.

(2)   Rental payments due under the Secured Equipment Lease are payable
      monthly, commencing on the effective date of the lease.

(3)   On February 10, 1997, the Company obtained an advance of $153,658 for
      partial funding of the Equipment for a restaurant property in El Cajon,
      California.  The Company anticipates obtaining another advance of
      $323,376 to fund the balance of the acquisition price of the Equipment
      within three months of obtaining the initial advance of $153,658
      described above.

(4)   The temporary Secured Equipment Lease entered into on February 10, 1997,
      has a term of three months and requires the payment of monthly rent of
      $1,320.  Upon funding the balance of the Equipment purchase price, which
      is expected to occur in the third month following the initial Equipment
      funding, the Company will enter into a final Secured Equipment Lease. 
      The final Secured Equipment Lease is expected to have a term of
      approximately six years and provide for the payment of rent (payable
      monthly) in an amount equal to the total purchase price of the Equipment
      plus interest at a rate of approximately 10.50% per annum.

(5)   Lessee may purchase the Equipment prior to the expiration of Secured
      Equipment Lease, at the then present value of the remaining rental
      payments, discounted at a rate of 10% per annum.

      Value as of the end of the preceding month as defined in such agreement. 
      See "Management Compensation."
