         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).  The Company completed its offering (the "Initial Offering")
on February 6, 1997, upon receiving aggregate subscription proceeds of
$150,591,765 (15,059,177 Shares) from 7,724 stockholders, including $591,765
(59,177 Shares) issued pursuant to the Company's reinvestment plan.  Following
the completion of its Initial Offering, the Company commenced this offering of
up to 27,500,000 Shares.  As of March 6, 1997, the Company had received
aggregate subscription proceeds of $14,243,060 (1,424,306 Shares) from 649
stockholders.

         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 25, 1997 and March 6, 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 (one in each of 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).

         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.

         In connection with the purchase of these nine 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 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


                                      -1-







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.

         The following table sets forth the location of the nine Properties
consisting of land and building, acquired by the Company, from January 25,
1997 through March 6, 1997, a description of the competition, and a summary of
the principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each Property.

                 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
December 31, 1996, including the receipt of $139,247,150 in gross offering
proceeds from the sale of 13,924,715 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 94 properties (including 51
properties which consist of land and building, one property through a joint
venture arrangement which consists of land and building, seven properties
which consist of building only and 35 properties consisting of land only),
nine of which were under construction at December 31, 1996, to provide
mortgage financing to the lessees of the 35 properties consisting of land
only, and to pay organizational and offering expenses, acquisition fees and
miscellaneous acquisition expenses, (ii) the receipt of $25,587,675 in gross
offering proceeds from the sale of 2,558,768 additional shares of common stock
during the period January 1, 1997 through March 6, 1997, and (iii) the
application of such funds and $4,926,309 of cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 1996, to purchase 16 additional properties acquired during the
period January 1, 1997 through March 6, 1997 (14 of which are under
construction and consist of land and building and two properties which consist
of land and building), to pay additional costs for the nine properties under
construction at December 31, 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 December 31, 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
December 31, 1996.

      The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended
December 31, 1996, includes the historical operating results of the properties
described in (i) above from the dates of their acquisitions plus operating
results for the four of the properties that were acquired by the Company
during the period January 1, 1996 through March 6, 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 March 6, 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.

(c)   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.

(1)   Represents rental income from operating leases and earned income from
      direct financing leases for four of the properties acquired during the
      period January 1, 1996 through March 6, 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
      four 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.

      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.

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

(2)   See Note (c) 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 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
      $2,723,000 for the Pro Forma Properties for the year ended December 31,
      1996), 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 year
      ended December 31, 1996.
