Item 1.       Changes in Control of Registrant.

                    Not applicable.

Item 2.       Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

              The  following  information  is  provided in  connection  with the
registration  statement on Form S-11 (No.  333-15411) of CNL American Properties
Fund, Inc. (the "Company") and its undertaking to provide information  regarding
the investment of net offering proceeds.

              Status of the Offering

              The Company  completed an offering of up to  27,500,000  shares of
common stock  (including  2,500,000  shares  available only to stockholders  who
elected to  participate  in the Company's  reinvestment  plan) on March 2, 1998,
upon  receiving  aggregate  subscription  proceeds of  $251,872,648  (25,187,265
Shares) from 11,304  stockholders,  including 187,265 Shares ($1,872,648) issued
pursuant to the reinvestment plan. As of May 15,  1998, the Company had invested
or committed for investment approximately  $163,600,000 of net proceeds from the
offering (along with approximately $134,000,000 of net proceeds from the Initial
Offering) in 260 Properties,  in providing  mortgage financing through  Mortgage
Loans, and in paying acquisition fees and certain acquisition expenses,  leaving
approximately  $63,500,000 in net offering proceeds available for investment for
investment in Properties and Mortgage Loans.

              Acquisition of Properties

              Between January 1, 1998 and May 15, 1998, the Company  acquired 21
Properties  consisting of land and building.  In connection with the purchase of
these 21  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 purchase price for the Shoney's Property in Phoenix,  Arizona,
includes a construction fee of $37,500 to an affiliate of the Company's  advisor
for services  provided in connection with the construction of the Property.  The
Company  considers  construction  fees,  to the  extent  that  they  are paid to
affiliates, to be acquisition fees. Such construction 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 21 Properties,
consisting  of land and  building,  acquired by the Company from January 1, 1998
through May 15, 1998, a  description  of the  competition,  and a summary of the
principal terms of the acquisition and lease of each Property.

                STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED TAXABLE OPERATING RESULTS
                         BEFORE DIVIDENDS PAID DEDUCTION
                       CNL AMERICAN PROPERTIES FUND, INC.
                    PROPERTIES ACQUIRED FROM JANUARY 1, 1998
                              THROUGH MAY 15, 1998
                For the Year Ended December 31, 1997 (Unaudited)


         The following schedule presents  unaudited  estimated taxable operating
results before dividends paid deduction of each Property acquired by the Company
from January 1, 1998 through May 15, 1998,  and the total of all  properties for
which the Company had initial  commitments  as of May 15,  1998.  The  statement
presents  unaudited  estimated  taxable  operating  results  for  each  acquired
Property that was operational (or in the case of pending investments,  the total
of all properties that were  operational),  as if the Property had been acquired
and  operational  on January 1, 1997 through  December  31,  1997.  The schedule
should be read in light of the accompanying footnotes.

         These estimates do not purport to present actual or expected operations
of the Company for any period in the future.  These  estimates  were prepared on
the  basis  described  in  the  accompanying  notes  which  should  be  read  in
conjunction  herewith.  No single  lessee or group of  affiliated  lessees lease
Properties  or has borrowed  funds from the Company  with an aggregate  purchase
price in  excess  of 20% of the  expected  total net  offering  proceeds  of the
Company.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)      Base  rent  does not  include  percentage  rents  which  become  due if
         specified levels of gross receipts are achieved.

(2)      For  pending   investments,   the  Company   anticipates  that  certain
         properties  will be  accounted  for as capital  leases for  federal tax
         purposes;  therefore,  the Company will not be entitled to depreciation
         expense on such properties. For leases accounted for as capital 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.

(3)      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. See "Management Compensation."

(4)      Estimated  at 6.2% of gross  rental  income  or in the case of  pending
         investments,  estimated  gross  rental  income,  based on the  previous
         experience  of the Company  and of  Affiliates  of the Advisor  with 18
         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.

(5)      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.

         The Company anticipates the pending investments  that are  construction
         properties will be operational within 180 days after acquisition.

(7)      The  lessee  of  the  Dubuque  #2 and  Edmond  Properties  is the  same
         unaffiliated lessee.

(8)      The lessee of the  Clarksville  and  Hermitage  Properties  is the same
         unaffiliated lessee.

(9)      The  lessee  of  the  Jacksonville  #3,  Columbus  #2  and  Atlanta  #2
         Properties is the same unaffiliated lessee.

(10)     The lessee of the Los Angeles #4, Pflugerville,  Waxahachie,  Hutchins,
         Gun Barrel City, Nacogdoches,  St. Louis and Avondale Properties is the
         same unaffiliated lessee.

(11)     The lessee of the  Glendale,  Warwick and Columbus #3 Properties is the
         same unaffiliated lessee.

(12)     Information  relating  to  pending  investments  is based on  estimated
         purchase  prices  for  each  of the 48  properties,  except  for  three
         properties that will be under construction once they are acquired.  The
         estimated aggregate purchase price of the 45 properties is $71 million.

(13)     For pending investments that will be accounted for as operating leases,
         for  purposes  of  calculating  depreciation,  the  allocation  of  the
         estimated cost of the property  between land and building is based upon
         the average allocation of the actual cost of properties  (consisting of
         both land and  building)  acquired by the  Company as of  December  31,
         1997.

                  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,
1998,  including the receipt of $427,504,460 in gross offering proceeds from the
sale of 42,750,446  shares of common stock and the  application of such proceeds
to purchase 255 properties  (including 190 properties  which consist of land and
building,  one property  through a joint venture  arrangement  which consists of
land  and  building,  20  properties  which  consist  of  building  only  and 44
properties  which consist of land only), 17 of which were under  construction at
March  31,  1998,  to  provide  mortgage  financing  to  the  lessees  of the 44
properties  consisting  of land only,  and to pay  organizational  and  offering
expenses,  acquisition fees and  miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses,  (ii) the
receipt of  $41,943,749  in gross  offering  proceeds from the sale of 4,194,375
additional  shares of common  stock  during the period April 1, 1998 through May
15, 1998,  (iii) the receipt of net sales  proceeds in the amount of  $1,233,479
relating to the sale of two  properties  (both on which a  restaurant  was being
developed)  during  the  period  April 1,  1998  through  May 15,  1998 (iv) the
application  of such funds to  purchase  seven  additional  properties  acquired
during the period  April 1, 1998  through  May 15,  1998 (six of which are under
construction and consist of land and building and one which consists of land and
building),  to pay additional costs for the 17 properties under  construction at
March 31, 1998, to pay offering  expenses,  acquisition  fees and  miscellaneous
acquisition  expenses,  and (v) the  application  of such funds to  purchase  48
properties,  including  46  properties  consisting  of land and building and two
properties  consisting of building  only, for which the Company has made initial
commitments  to acquire as of May 15,  1998,  all as  reflected in the pro forma
adjustments  described in the related notes. The Pro Forma Consolidated  Balance
Sheet as of March 31,  1998,  includes the  transactions  described in (i) above
from the historical  consolidated balance sheet,  adjusted to give effect to the
transactions  in (ii),  (iii),  (iv) and (v) above,  as if they had  occurred on
March 31, 1998.

         The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and the year ended  December  31,  1997,  include the  historical
operating  results of the  properties  described  in (i) above from the dates of
their  acquisitions plus operating results for three of the properties that were
acquired by the Company  during the period January 1, 1997 through May 15, 1998,
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, 1997,  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  Statements of Earnings for the remaining  properties
acquired by the Company  during the period January 1, 1997 through May 15, 1998,
or the properties for which the Company has made initial  commitments to acquire
as of May 15,  1998,  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.

Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet - Continued:

(d)      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 payments received.

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

(1)      Represents  rental income from operating  leases and earned income from
         direct financing leases for three of the properties acquired during the
         period  January  1, 1997  through  May 15,  1998,  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, 1997,  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
         three 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.

         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 1997 and 1998 that the  previous  owners held the
         properties,  no pro forma  adjustment  was made for  percentage  rental
         income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and year ended December 31,
         1997.

Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Earnings - Continued:

(2)      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) the later of (i) the dates the Pro
         Forma  Properties  became  operational  as  rental  properties  by  the
         previous owners or (ii) January 1, 1997, through (B) the earlier of (i)
         the actual dates of  acquisition  by the Company or (ii) 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  from  interest  bearing  accounts  was  earned  at  a  rate  of
         approximately  four percent per annum by the Company during the quarter
         ended March 31, 1998 and year ended December 31, 1997.

(3)      Represents  incremental  increase in asset  management fees relating to
         the Pro Forma Properties for the period commencing (A) the later of (i)
         the  date  the  Pro  Forma  Properties  became  operational  as  rental
         properties by the previous owners or (ii) January 1, 1997,  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
         $3,392,000 for the Pro Forma Properties for the quarter ended March 31,
         1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997), as defined in the Company's
         prospectus.

(4)      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.

(5)      Historical  earnings per share were calculated  based upon the weighted
         average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the quarter
         ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997.

         description of direct financing leases.
