                                   BUSINESS

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

      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 (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.


March 13, 1997                               Prospectus Dated January 31, 1997








      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 March 6, 1997, the Company had initial commitments to acquire 26
properties, including 12 properties consisting of land and building, five
properties consisting of building only and nine properties consisting of land
only.  The initial commitments for the five Black-eyed Pea properties in
Bedford, Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and
Scottsdale, Arizona, the three IHOP properties in Hollywood, California; and
Fairfax and Leesburg, Virginia, and the nine Pizza Hut properties in Bolivar,
Carrolton, Dover, Millersburg, New Philadelphia, New Philadelphia-West,
Steubenville and Uhrichsville, Ohio; and Wellsburg, West Virginia, were
entered into on March 6, 1997.  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 26 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," except as
described below.

      In connection with the nine Pizza Hut properties consisting of land
only, the Company anticipates acquiring the land and leasing it to the tenant,
Castle Hill, pursuant to a master lease agreement for these nine properties.
The tenant is expected to own the buildings for these nine Pizza Hut
properties.  In connection therewith, the Company anticipates providing
mortgage financing to the tenant which will be collateralized by the building
improvements.  If the mortgage note is executed, it is expected to be executed
under substantially the same terms described in "Business - Mortgage Loans."

      In addition, the Company has an initial commitment to provide mortgage
financing for two additional Pizza Hut properties in Weirton, West Virginia,
and Wintersville, Ohio, which will be collateralized by the building
improvements.  The Company does not expect to own the land for these two
properties.  If the mortgage note is executed, it is expected to be executed
under substantially the same terms described in "Business - Mortgage Loans."

      In connection with the Black-eyed Pea properties in Bedford, Dallas and
Fort Worth, Texas; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Scottsdale, Arizona, the
Company anticipates owning only the buildings and not the underlying land. 
However, the Company anticipates entering into landlord estoppel agreements
with the landlords of the land and collateral assignments of the ground leases
with the lessees in order to provide the Company with certain rights with
respect to the land on which the buildings are 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.

      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,

(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

      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.

      Equipment Lease, at the then present value of the remaining rental

(6)   The Company entered into a master lease agreement for the Perry, Byron,
      Macon and Albany Secured Equipment Leases.
