PENDING INVESTMENTS

         As of February 10, 1998, the Company had initial commitments to acquire
ten properties,  including eight properties  consisting of land and building and
two properties  consisting of building  only.  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 ten 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."

         In  connection  with the IHOP  property in Saugus,  Massachusetts,  the
Company  anticipates  owning  only the  building  and not the  underlying  land.
However,  the Company  anticipates  entering into a landlord estoppel  agreement
with the  landlord of the land and a collateral  assignment  of the ground lease
with the lessee in order to provide the Company with certain rights with respect
to the land on which the building is located.

         In connection with one of the Shoney's properties in Phoenix,  Arizona,
the Company  anticipates  owning only the building and not the underlying  land.
However,  the Company anticipates  entering into a tri- party agreement with the
lessee and the landlord of the land in order to provide the Company with certain
rights with respect to the land on which the building is 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.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)      The "Total Cost" is equal to the sum of (i) the  purchase  price of the
         property,  (ii)  closing  costs,  and (iii)  actual  development  costs
         incurred under the development agreement.

(2)      Initial  construction  period  rent  equal  to 325  basis  points  over
         non-callable U.S. Treasuries with a maturity date of 20 years.  Initial
         minimum annual rent shall equal the rate which is in effect 15 business
         days prior to the commencement of the annual rent.  Minimum annual rent
         shall be adjusted  upward at the end of each 36 month  period after the
         Company's  closing  on the  property  by the  lower of (i) 4.14% of the
         minimum annual rent or (ii) an amount equal to the product  obtained by
         multiplying the Consumer Price Index by three.

(3)      For each  lease  year,  percentage  rent shall be  calculated  upon the
         amount by which gross sales exceed a to be determined  breakpoint (base
         sales) as follows; 6% for an increase of 0% to 33.33% above base sales,
         5.5% for an increase of 33.34% to 66.7% above base sales, and 5% for an
         increase  of 66.8% to 100% above base  sales.  For  increases  in gross
         sales in excess of 100%,  percentage  rent  shall  decrease  by .5% for
         every additional 33.33% increase above base sales.

(4)      The Company anticipates owning the building only for this property. The
         Company  will  not own  the  underlying  land;  although,  the  Company
         anticipates  entering  into a  landlord  estoppel  agreement  with  the
         landlord of the land and a  collateral  assignment  of the ground lease
         with the lessee in order to provide the  Company  with  certain  rights
         with respect to the land on which the building is located.

(5)      The lease term shall  expire  upon the earlier of (i) the date 20 years
         from the date of closing,  (ii) the  expiration of the original term of
         the ground lease, or (iii) the earlier termination of the ground lease.

(6)      In the event the  Company  purchases  the  property  directly  from the
         lessee, the lessee will have no option to purchase the property.

         landlord  of the land in order to  provide  the  Company  with  certain
         rights with respect to the land on which the building is located.

(8)      The lease term shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the  expiration  of
         the original term of the ground lease, or (ii) the earlier  termination
         of the ground lease.

         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

         partnerships  which  own  properties  similar  to  those  owned  by the
