Item 2.       Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

              Status of the Offering

              On February 6, 1997, the Company commenced an offering (the
"Offering") of up to 27,500,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares"). As of
July 2, 1997, the Company had received subscription proceeds of $74,851,028
(7,485,103 Shares) including $643,293 (64,329 Shares) issued pursuant to the
Reinvestment Plan, from 3,561 stockholders in connection with the Offering. The
proceeds of the Offering will be used primarily to acquire properties (the
"Properties") located across the United States to be leased on a long-term,
triple-net basis to 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 June 13, 1997 and July 2, 1997, the Company acquired eight
Properties consisting of land and building, with the proceeds of the Offering.
These Properties are two Golden Corral Properties (one in each of Enid,
Oklahoma, and Liberty, Missouri), one IHOP Property (in Fairfax, Virginia), two
Boston Market Properties (one in each of Southlake and Stafford, Texas), two
Jack in the Box Properties (one in each of Channelview and Garland, Texas) and
one KFC Property (in Putnam, Connecticut).

              In connection with the purchase of these eight 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, the Company has entered into development and indemnification
and put agreements with the lessees.

              The following table sets forth the location of the eight
Properties, consisting of land and building, acquired by the Company from June
13, 1997 through July 2, 1997, a description of the competition, and a summary
of the principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each Property.

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.

(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.

(5)      The Property is under construction and therefore was not operational
         for the period presented. The development agreements for the Properties
         which are to be constructed, provide that construction must be
         completed no later than the dates set forth below:

                  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 March 31,
1997, including the receipt of $177,015,590 in gross offering proceeds from the
sale of 17,701,559 shares of common stock and the application of such proceeds
to purchase 123 properties (including 68 properties which consist of land and
building, one property through a joint venture arrangement which consists of
land and building, 11 properties which consist of building only and 43
properties which consist of land only), 17 of which were under construction at
March 31, 1997, to provide mortgage financing to the lessees of the 43
properties consisting of land only, and to pay organizational and offering
expenses, acquisition fees and miscellaneous acquisition expenses, (ii) the
receipt of net sales proceeds in the amount of $5,266,327 relating to the sale
of four properties consisting of building only which had been acquired as of
March 31, 1997, (iii) the receipt of $48,427,203 in gross offering proceeds from
the sale of 4,842,721 additional shares of common stock during the period April
1, 1997 through July 2, 1997, and (iv) the application of such funds and
$38,583,057 of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1997, to purchase 60
additional properties acquired during the period April 1, 1997 through July 2,
1997 (32 of which are under construction and consist of land and building, 26
properties which consist of land and building, one property which consists of
land only and one property which consists of building only), to pay additional
costs for the 17 properties under construction at March 31, 1997, 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 March 31, 1997, includes the
transactions described in (i) above from the historical consolidated balance
sheet, adjusted to give effect to the transactions in (ii), (iii) and (iv)
above, as if they had occurred on March 31, 1997.

         The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, include the historical
operating results of the properties described in (i) above from the dates of
their acquisitions plus operating results for six of the properties that were
acquired by the Company during the period January 1, 1996 through July 2, 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 July 2, 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.

         Adjustment classified as follows:
             Land and buildings on operating leases              $64,250,680
             Net investment in direct financing leases            15,369,932

(b)      Represents net sales proceeds in the amount of $5,266,327 received in
         conjunction with the sale of four properties consisting of building
         only, which were sold at net carrying value.

(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.

(d)      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, and effective May 8, 1997, the
         Company filed an amendment with the State of Maryland, 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).

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings:
- ---------------------------------------------

(1)      Represents rental income from operating leases and earned income from
         direct financing leases for six of the properties acquired during the
         period January 1, 1996 through July 2, 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
         six 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

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings - Continued:
- --------------------------------------------------------

         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.

         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 and 1997 that the previous owners held the
         properties, no pro forma adjustment was made for percentage rental
         income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 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 quarter ended March 31,
         1997 and 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
         $2,126,000 and $4,762,000 for the Pro Forma Properties for the quarter
         ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996,
         respectively), 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 quarter
         ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996.
