         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.

(9)      The  Company  paid for all  construction  costs in advance at  closing;
         therefore,  minimum annual rent was determined on the date acquired and
         is not expected to change.



PENDING INVESTMENTS

         As of March 2, 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. In connection with one of the properties
in which the Company anticipates owning only the building and not the underlying
land, 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 the other property
in which the Company anticipates owning only the building and not the underlying
land,  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.  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 "Business -- Description of Property Leases."

                  gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property,

                  after  adjustments for  unconsolidated  partnerships and joint
                  ventures.  (Net earnings  determined  in accordance  with GAAP
                  include the noncash effect of  straight-lining  rent increases
                  throughout  the lease term and/or rental  payments  during the
                  construction  of a property  prior to the date it is placed in
                  service.  Straight-lining  rent is a GAAP convention requiring
                  real estate  companies to report  rental  revenue based on the
                  average  rent per year over the life of the lease.  During the
                  years ended  December  31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  net earnings
                  included $1,941,054,  $517,067 and $39,142,  respectively,  of
                  these  amounts.)  FFO was  developed  by NAREIT as a  relative

                  order  to   recognize   that   income-producing   real  estate
                  historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under
                  GAAP. However,  FFO (i) does not represent cash generated from
                  operating  activities   determined  in  accordance  with  GAAP
                  (which,  unlike FFO,  generally  reflects  all cash effects of
                  transactions   and   other   events   that   enter   into  the
                  determination  of  net  earnings),  (ii)  is  not  necessarily

                  operating  activities  determined in accordance with GAAP as a
                  measure of either  liquidity or the Company's  ability to make
                  distributions. Accordingly, the Company believes that in order
                  to  facilitate  a  clear  understanding  of  the  consolidated

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                       FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY

INTRODUCTION

         The  Company is a Maryland  corporation  that was  organized  on May 2,
1994, to acquire  Properties,  directly or  indirectly  through Joint Venture or
co-tenancy  arrangements,  to be leased on a  long-term,  "triple-net"  basis to
operators of certain  Restaurant  Chains.  In addition,  the Company may provide
Mortgage Loans for the purchase of buildings,  generally by borrowers that lease
the underlying land from the Company.  To a lesser extent, the Company may offer
Secured Equipment Leases to operators of Restaurant Chains.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company was formed in May 1994, at which time the Company  received
initial capital contributions of $200,000 for 20,000 shares of common stock from
the Advisor. In April 1995, the Company commenced a public offering for the sale
of up to 16,500,000  Shares  ($165,000,000) of common stock, the net proceeds of
which were used to invest in Properties  and Mortgage  Loans.  Of the 16,500,000
Shares of common stock offered,  1,500,000 Shares  ($15,000,000)  were available
only to  stockholders  who elected to participate in the Company's  Reinvestment
Plan. Upon  completion of its Initial  Offering on February 6, 1997, the Company
had  received  subscription   proceeds  of  $150,591,765   (15,059,177  Shares),
including $591,765 (59,177 Shares) issued pursuant to the Company's Reinvestment
Plan.

         Following the completion of its Initial Offering, the Company commenced
the 1997 Offering of up to 27,500,000  Shares of common stock. Of the 27,500,000
Shares  of  common  stock  being  offered,   2,500,000  are  available  only  to
stockholders who elect to participate in the Company's  Reinvestment Plan. As of
December  31,  1997,   the  Company  had  received   subscription   proceeds  of
$361,729,707 (36,172,971 Shares) from the

                                       -5-

<PAGE>



Initial Offering and 1997 Offering, including $2,464,413 (246,441 Shares) issued
pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan.

         As of December 31,  1997,  net proceeds to the Company from its Initial
Offering,  1997  Offering  and capital  contributions  from the  Advisor,  after
deduction  of  organizational  and  offering  expenses,  totalled  $323,867,890.
Approximately  $272,140,000 of such amount had been used to invest, or committed
for  investment,  in  244  Properties  (including  ten  Properties  on  which  a
restaurant  was being  constructed  as of December  31,  1997),  which  includes
mortgage  financing of $17,047,000,  acquisition  fees to the Advisor  totalling
$16,277,837  and  certain  acquisition  expenses as of December  31,  1997.  The
Company  acquired 18 of the 244 Properties  from  Affiliates for purchase prices
totalling   approximately   $14,681,000.   The   Affiliates  had  purchased  and
temporarily   held  title  to  these  Properties  in  order  to  facilitate  the
acquisition  of the  Properties by the Company.  Each Property  acquired from an
Affiliate  was purchased at a cost no greater than the lesser of the cost of the
Property to the Affiliate (including carrying costs) or the Property's appraised
value.

         In connection  with the ten Properties  under  construction at December
31,  1997,  the Company has entered  into various  development  agreements  with
tenants which provide terms and specifications for the construction of buildings
the tenants have agreed to lease.  The  agreements  provide a maximum  amount of
development  costs  (including the purchase price of the land and closing costs)
to be paid by the Company.  The aggregate maximum  development costs the Company
has  agreed  to  pay  are  approximately  $14,495,000,  of  which  approximately
$10,202,000  had been incurred as of December 31, 1997. The buildings  currently
under  construction  are expected to be  operational by June 1998. In connection
with the  purchase of each  Property,  the  Company,  as lessor,  entered into a
long-term lease agreement.

         During the period  January 1, 1998 through  March 2, 1998,  the Company
acquired  six  additional   Properties  (all  on  which  restaurants  are  being
constructed) for cash at a total cost of approximately $3,948,200. In connection
with the purchase of each of the six Properties, the Company, as lessor, entered
into a long-term lease agreement.  The buildings under construction are expected
to be  operational  by August  1998.  The Company  currently is  negotiating  to
acquire  additional  Properties,  but as of March 2, 1998,  had not acquired any
such Properties.

         The Company completed its 1997 Offering on March 2, 1998, at which time
the Company had  received  subscription  proceeds  of  $402,464,413  (40,246,441
Shares)  from its  Initial  Offering  and 1997  Offering,  including  $2,464,413
(246,441 Shares) issued pursuant to the Company's Reinvestment Plan. As of March
2, 1998,  the Company had  invested,  or committed  for  investment,  a total of
approximately  $282,900,000  of such  proceeds in 250  Properties,  in providing
mortgage  financing for Mortgage Loans  relating to 44 Properties  consisting of
land only and the buildings on two additional  Properties through Mortgage Loans
and to pay acquisition fees and expenses  totalling  $18,110,898 to the Advisor,
leaving  approximately  $78,200,000 in aggregate net offering proceeds available
for investment in Properties and Mortgage Loans.

         Following the  completion of its 1997 Offering,  the Company  commenced
the sale of up to 34,500,000 Shares of Common Stock. Of the 34,500,000 Shares of
Common  Stock  being  offered,  2,000,000  are  available  only to  stockholders
purchasing shares through the Reinvestment  Plan.  Management  believes that the
increase  in the  amount of assets of the  Company  that will  result  from this
offering  will  increase the  diversification  of the  Company's  assets and the
likelihood of Listing the Company's Shares on a national  securities exchange or
over-the-counter market, although there is no assurance that Listing will occur.
If  the  Shares  are  not  listed  on  a   national   securities   exchange   or
over-the-counter  market  by  December  31,  2005,  as to which  there can be no
assurance,  the  Company  will  commence  orderly  sale  of its  assets  and the
distribution of the proceeds. Listing does not assure liquidity.

         The Company  expects to use uninvested  net offering  proceeds from the
Prior Offerings,  plus any Net Offering Proceeds from the sale of Shares in this
offering, to purchase additional Properties, to fund construction costs relating
to the Properties  under  construction  and to make Mortgage Loans.  The Company
does not intend to use net offering  proceeds to fund Secured  Equipment Leases;
however,  from time to time the Company may use uninvested net offering proceeds
to repay a portion of or all of the balance outstanding under the Line of Credit
pending the investment of such offering proceeds in Properties or Mortgage Loans
in order to reduce the Company's  interest cost during such period.  The Company
expects to fund the  Secured  Equipment  Leases with  proceeds  from the Line of
Credit. The number of Properties to be acquired and Mortgage Loans to be entered
into will depend

                                       -6-

<PAGE>



upon the amount of net offering proceeds available to the Company,  although the
Company is expected to have a total  portfolio of 670 to 730  Properties  if the
maximum number of Shares is sold in this offering.  The Company intends to limit
equipment financing to ten percent of the aggregate gross offering proceeds from
its offerings.

         During  1996,  the Company  entered  into three  Mortgage  Loans in the
aggregate  principal  sum of  $12,847,000,  collateralized  by  mortgages on the
buildings relating to 35 Pizza Hut Properties.  The Mortgage Loans bear interest
at a rate of 10.75% per annum and are being collected in 240 equal  installments
totalling  $130,426.  In February 1997,  the Company  entered into an additional
Mortgage Loan in the principal sum of $4,200,000, collateralized by mortgages on
the  buildings  on nine  Pizza  Hut  Properties  and two  additional  Pizza  Hut
buildings.  The Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum and is
being  collected  in  240  monthly  installments  of  $41,943.   Mortgage  notes
receivable  at  December  31,  1997 and  1996 of  $17,622,010  and  $13,389,607,
respectively, include accrued interest of $118,887 and $35,285, respectively.

         During 1997,  the Company sold five of its Properties and the Equipment
relating to two Secured  Equipment  Leases to tenants.  The Company received net
proceeds of approximately $7,252,000,  which were equal to the carrying value of
the Properties and the Equipment at the time of the sales. As a result,  no gain
or loss was recognized for financial  reporting  purposes.  The Company used the
net  sales  proceeds  relating  to the sale of the  Equipment  to repay  amounts
previously  advanced  under  its Line of  Credit.  The  Company  reinvested  the
proceeds from the sale of Properties in additional Properties.

         In October 1997, the Company entered into two Secured  Equipment Leases
with a  borrower  for  equipment  financing  totalling  $13,225,000,  which  are
collateralized  by Equipment.  The Secured  Equipment  Leases bear interest at a
rate of ten  percent  per  annum  and  will be  collected  in 84  equal  monthly
installments  totalling  $219,550  beginning January 1, 1998. As of December 31,
1997,  the Company had advanced  $12,521,400 to the borrower and had a remaining
balance to fund of $703,600.  Notes  receivable  at December  31, 1997,  include
principal  amounts of $13,225,000 and accrued  interest of $323,044  relating to
these two Secured Equipment Leases.

         In March 1996,  the Company  entered into a line of credit and security
agreement  with a bank,  the proceeds of which were to be used by the Company to
fund Secured  Equipment  Leases.  The line of credit  provided  that the Company
would be able to receive  advances  of up to  $15,000,000  until  March 4, 1998.
Generally,  all advances  under the line of credit bore interest at either (i) a
rate per annum equal to 215 basis points above the Reserve  Adjusted  LIBOR Rate
(as  defined in the line of credit) or (ii) a rate per annum equal to the bank's
prime rate,  whichever the Company selected at the time advances were made. As a
condition of obtaining  the line of credit,  the Company  agreed to grant to the
bank a first security interest in the Secured Equipment Leases.

         In August 1997,  the Company's  $15,000,000  line of credit was amended
and  restated  to  enable  the  Company  to  receive  advances  on  a  revolving
$35,000,000  uncollateralized Line of Credit to provide equipment financing,  to
purchase and develop  Properties and to fund Mortgage  Loans.  The advances bear
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.65% or the bank's prime rate,  whichever  the
Company  selects at the time of borrowing.  Interest  only is repayable  monthly
until July 31, 1999, at which time all remaining interest and principal shall be
due. The Line of Credit provides for two one-year renewal options.

         During 1996,  the Company  entered into interest  rate swap  agreements
with a commercial  bank to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its
floating rate long-term debt. These agreements  effectively change the Company's
interest rate exposure on notional amounts totalling approximately $2,110,000 of
the  outstanding  floating  rate notes to fixed rates ranging from 8.75% to nine
percent per annum.  The notional  amounts of the interest  rate swap  agreements
amortize over the period of the  agreements  which  approximate  the term of the
related notes. As of December 31, 1997, the notional balances were approximately
$1,750,000. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the interest rate swap  agreements;  however,  the Company
does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparty.

         Advances  used to fund  Secured  Equipment  Leases will be repaid using
payments received from Secured Equipment Leases and will be refinanced in regard
to any Secured  Equipment  Lease not fully  repaid at the end of the term of the
Line of Credit. The Company,  from time to time, may use uninvested net offering
proceeds to

                                       -7-

<PAGE>



repay a portion of or all of the  balance  outstanding  under the Line of Credit
pending the investment of such offering proceeds in Properties or Mortgage Loans
in order to reduce the Company's interest cost during such period. Advances used
to purchase and develop  Properties  and to fund  Mortgage  Loans will be repaid
using additional offering proceeds or refinanced on a long-term basis.

         The Company will not encumber Properties in connection with the Line of
Credit.  Management  believes that during the offering period the Line of Credit
will allow the Company to make investments in Properties and Mortgage Loans that
the  Company  otherwise  would be forced to delay  until it raised a  sufficient
amount of  proceeds  from the sale of shares  to allow the  Company  to make the
investments.  By eliminating this delay the Company will also eliminate the risk
that  these  investments  will no  longer  be  available,  or the  terms  of the
investments  will be less  favorable,  when the  Company  has raised  sufficient
offering  proceeds.  Alternatively,  Affiliates  of the Advisor  could make such
investments,  pending receipt by the Company of sufficient offering proceeds, in
order  to  preserve  the  investment  opportunities  for the  Company.  However,
Properties  acquired by the  Company in this manner  would be subject to closing
costs both on the  original  purchase  by the  Affiliate  and on the  subsequent
purchase by the Company,  which would increase the amount of expenses associated
with the  acquisition of Properties  and reduce the amount of offering  proceeds
available for investment in  income-producing  assets.  Management believes that
the use of the Line of Credit by the  Company  will enable the Company to reduce
or  eliminate  the  instances  in which  the  Company  will be  required  to pay
duplicate closing costs.

         During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company obtained
advances totalling $19,721,804 and $3,666,896,  respectively,  under the Line of
Credit,  the proceeds of which were used to fund Secured Equipment Leases and to
pay loan costs.  During the year ended  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  used
proceeds  relating to the sale of Equipment during 1997, as described above, and
uninvested net offering proceeds, to repay $20,784,577 of amounts advanced under
the Line of Credit.  During the year ended  December 31, 1996,  the Company used
amounts  collected  under the  terms of the  Secured  Equipment  Leases to repay
$145,080 of amounts  advanced under the Line of Credit.  The Company  expects to
obtain  additional  advances  under the Line of Credit to fund future  Equipment
financings and to purchase Properties and to invest in Mortgage Loans.

         Properties  are and will be leased on a  long-term,  triple-net  basis,
meaning that tenants are generally  required to pay all repairs and maintenance,
property  taxes,  insurance and utilities.  Rental payments under the leases are
expected to exceed the  Company's  Operating  Expenses.  For these  reasons,  no
short-term  or  long-term   liquidity  problems  currently  are  anticipated  by
management.

         Until Properties are acquired,  or Mortgage Loans are entered into, net
offering  proceeds  are held in  short-term,  highly  liquid  investments  which
management  believes to have  appropriate  safety of principal.  This investment
strategy  provides high  liquidity in order to  facilitate  the Company's use of
these  funds to  acquire  Properties  at such time as  Properties  suitable  for
acquisition  are located or to fund Mortgage  Loans.  At December 31, 1997,  the
Company had  $49,595,001  invested in such short-term  investments  (including a
certificate  of deposit in the amount of  $2,000,000) as compared to $42,450,088
at  December  31,  1996.  The  increase  in the amount  invested  in  short-term
investments  reflects  subscription  proceeds  derived  from the sale of  Shares
during  the year  ended  December  31,  1997,  net of the  repayment  of amounts
advanced under the Line of Credit, as described above.  These funds will be used
primarily to purchase and develop or renovate Properties (directly or indirectly
through joint venture arrangements), to make Mortgage Loans, to pay offering and
acquisition  costs, to pay Distributions to stockholders,  to temporarily reduce
amounts outstanding under the Company's Line of Credit pending the investment of
net offering proceeds, to meet Company expenses and, in management's discretion,
to create cash reserves.

         During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,  Affiliates of
the  Company  incurred  on  behalf  of  the  Company  $2,351,244,  $804,617  and
$2,084,145,  respectively,  for certain organizational and offering expenses. In
addition, during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, Affiliates of
the Company incurred on behalf of the Company  $514,908,  $206,103 and $131,629,
respectively,  for certain  acquisition  expenses  and  $368,516,  $243,402  and
$54,234,  respectively, for certain operating expenses. As of December 31, 1997,
the Company owed


                                       -8-

<PAGE>



the Advisor and its  Affiliates  $1,524,294  for such  amounts,  unpaid fees and
accounting  and  administrative  expenses.  The  Advisor  has  agreed  to pay or
reimburse to the Company all  organizational  and offering expenses in excess of
three percent of gross offering proceeds from each of the Initial Offering, 1997
Offering and this offering.

         During the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company
generated cash from  operations  (which  includes cash received from tenants and
interest and other income  received,  less cash paid for operating  expenses) of
$17,076,214,  $5,482,540  and  $498,459,  respectively.  Based  on  current  and
anticipated future cash from operations,  the Company declared  Distributions to
the  stockholders of $16,854,297,  $5,436,072 and $638,618 during 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  In addition, in January 1998, February 1998 and March 1998,
the Company declared  Distributions to its  stockholders  totalling  $2,298,433,
$2,421,992 and  $2,556,539,  respectively,  payable in March 1998. For the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 93.33%, 90.25% and 59.82%, respectively,
of the  Distributions  received by  stockholders  were considered to be ordinary
income and 6.67%,  9.75% and 40.18%,  respectively,  were considered a return of
capital for federal income tax purposes.  However,  no amounts distributed or to
be distributed to the stockholders as of January 22, 1998, are required to be or
have  been  treated  by the  Company  as a return of  capital  for  purposes  of
calculating the Stockholders' 8% Return on their Invested Capital.

         Management  believes  that the  Properties  are  adequately  covered by
insurance.  In  addition,  the Advisor has  obtained  contingent  liability  and
property  coverage for the Company.  This insurance policy is intended to reduce
the Company's  exposure in the unlikely event a tenant's insurance policy lapses
or is  insufficient  to cover a claim  relating to the  Property.  The Company's
investment  strategy of  acquiring  Properties  for cash and leasing  them under
triple-net  leases  to  operators  who meet  specified  financial  standards  is
expected to minimize the Company's Operating Expenses.

         Due  to the  fact  that  the  Properties  are  leased  on a  long-term,
triple-net basis,  management does not believe that working capital reserves are
necessary  at this  time.  Management  has the  right to cause  the  Company  to
maintain  reserves if, in their  discretion,  they  determine  such reserves are
required to meet the Company's working capital needs.

         Management  expects that the cash  generated  from  operations  will be
adequate to pay Operating Expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         No  significant  operations  commenced  until the Company  received the
minimum offering proceeds of $1,500,000 on June 1, 1995.

         As of  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  and its  consolidated  joint
venture,  CNL/Corral  South  Joint  Venture,  had  purchased  and  entered  into
long-term,  triple-net leases for 244 Properties. The leases provide for minimum
annual  base rental  payments  (payable in monthly  installments)  ranging  from
approximately  $61,900 to $467,500.  In  addition,  certain  leases  provide for
percentage rent based on sales in excess of a specified amount.  The majority of
the leases also provide that,  commencing in generally the sixth lease year, the
annual  base rent  required  under the terms of the  leases  will  increase.  In
connection therewith,  during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995,
the  Company   earned  a  total  of   $15,490,615,   $4,357,298   and  $539,776,
respectively,  in rental income from  operating  leases,  earned income from the
direct financing leases and contingent  rental income from 244 Properties and 27
Secured  Equipment Leases in 1997, from 85 Properties and six Secured  Equipment
Leases in 1996 and from 16 Properties in 1995, respectively. Because the Company
did not commence  significant  operations until it received the minimum offering
proceeds  on  June 1,  1995,  and  intends  to make  additional  investments  in
Properties,  Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment Leases, revenues for the years
ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  represent  only a portion of revenues
which the Company is expected to earn during  future  years in which the Company
has  completed   additional   investments  and  the  Company's   Properties  are
operational (and other investments in place) for the full period.

         During the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  the Company earned
$1,687,456 and $1,069,349, respectively, in mortgage interest income relating to
the Mortgage Loans collateralized by Pizza Hut Properties, as described above in
"Liquidity and Capital  Resources".  The increase during the year ended December
31, 1997, is  attributable  to investing in an  additional  Mortgage Loan during
1997.

         During  1997,  three  of  the  Company's  lessees  and  borrowers,   or
affiliated  groups of lessees and borrowers,  Castle Hill,  Foodmaker,  Inc. and
Houlihan's  Restaurants  Inc.,  each  contributed  more than ten  percent of the
Company's  total  rental,  earned  income and  interest  income  relating to its
Properties,  Mortgage  Loans and Secured  Equipment  Leases.  Castle Hill is the
lessee under leases  relating to the land portion of 44  restaurants  and is the
borrower on Mortgage Loans relating to the buildings on such Properties, as well
as two  additional  properties.  Foodmaker,  Inc.  is the  lessee  under  leases
relating to 29 restaurants and Houlihan's Restaurants,  Inc. is the lessee under
leases relating to 20 restaurants.  In addition,  four Restaurant Chains,  Pizza
Hut, Golden Corral Family  Steakhouse,  Jack in the Box and Boston Market,  each
accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's total rental, earned income
and interest income relating to Properties, Mortgage Loans and Secured Equipment
Leases  during 1997.  Because the Company has not  completed  its  investment in
Properties,  Mortgage  Loans and  Secured  Equipment  Leases  as yet,  it is not
possible  to  determine  which  lessees,  borrowers  or  Restaurant  Chains will
contribute  more than ten percent of the  Company's  rental,  earned  income and
interest  income  during 1998 and  subsequent  years.  In the event that certain
lessees,  borrowers or Restaurant Chains contribute more than ten percent of the
Company's rental, earned income and interest income in future years, any failure
of such lessees,  borrowers or  Restaurant  Chains could  materially  affect the
Company's income.

         During the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company
earned  $2,254,375,  $773,404 and  $118,859,  respectively,  in interest  income
earned on Secured Equipment Leases, as described above in "Liquidity and Capital
Resources",  and from investments in money market accounts or other  short-term,
highly  liquid  investments  and other  income.  Interest  income is expected to
increase as the Company  invests  subscription  proceeds  received in the future
relating to this offering in highly  liquid  investments  pending  investment in
Properties and Mortgage Loans. However, as net offering proceeds are invested in
Properties and used to make Mortgage Loans,  interest income from investments in
money market accounts or other short-term, highly liquid investments is expected
to decrease.

         Operating expenses,  including  depreciation and amortization  expense,
were $3,862,024,  $1,430,795 and $290,276 for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Total operating expenses increased during each of
the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  as  compared to the prior year,
primarily as a result of the Company  having  invested in additional  Properties
and Mortgage Loans during each year.  General and  administrative  expenses as a
percentage  of total  revenues is  expected to decrease as the Company  acquires
additional  Properties,  invests in additional Mortgage Loans and the Properties
under  construction  become  operational.  However,  asset  management  fees and
depreciation  and  amortization  expense are expected to increase as the Company
invests in additional Properties and Mortgage Loans.

         The Company has made an election  under Section  856(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the  "Code"),  to be taxed as a REIT under the
Code  beginning  with its taxable year ended  December 31, 1995. As a REIT,  for
federal  income  tax  purposes,  the  Company  generally  will not be subject to
federal  income tax on income that it distributes  to its  stockholders.  If the
Company  fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable  year,  it will be subject to
federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not
be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal  income tax purposes
for four years  following the year during which  qualification  is lost. Such an
event could  materially  affect the Company's net income.  However,  the Company
believes  that it is  organized  and operates in such a manner as to qualify for
treatment as a REIT for the years ended  December 31,  1997,  1996 and 1995.  In
addition, the Company intends to continue to operate the Company so as to remain
qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The
statement,  which is effective for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 1997,
provides for a revised  computation of earnings per share.  The Company  adopted
this standard during the year ended December 31, 1997. Adoption of this standard
had no  material  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital  Structure."  The  statement,  which is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 1997, provides for disclosure of the Company's capital
structure. At this time, the Company's Board of Directors has not determined the
relative  rights,  preferences,  and  privileges  of each  class  or  series  of
preferred stock  authorized.  Since the Company has not issued preferred shares,
the disclosures to this standard are not applicable.

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." The statement,  which is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997,  requires the reporting of net
earnings  and all other  changes  to equity  during  the  period,  except  those
resulting from investments by owners and  distributions to owners, in a separate
statement that begins with net earnings. Currently, the Company's only component
of  comprehensive  income is net  earnings.  The Company  does not believe  that
adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

         The  Advisor  of  the  Company  is in  the  process  of  assessing  and
addressing  the impact of the year 2000 on its computer  package  software.  The
hardware  and  built-in  software  are  believed  to  be  year  2000  compliant.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect this matter to materially impact how it
conducts business nor its future results of operations or financial position.

         All of the  Company's  leases as of December 31, 1997,  are  triple-net
leases and contain provisions that management believes will mitigate the adverse
effect of inflation.  Such provisions  include clauses  requiring the payment of
percentage rent based on certain restaurant sales above a specified level and/or
automatic  increases  in base rent at  specified  times  during  the term of the
lease.  Management  expects that  increases in  restaurant  sales volumes due to
inflation  and real sales growth  should  result in an increase in rental income
over  time.  Continued  inflation  also may cause  capital  appreciation  of the
Company's Properties.  Inflation and changing prices,  however, also may have an
adverse  impact  on the  sales  of the  restaurants  and  on  potential  capital
appreciation of the Properties.

         This information contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934.  Although  the  Company  believes  that the  expectations
reflected  in  such   forward-looking   statements  are  based  upon  reasonable
assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those set
forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a
difference  include  the  following:  changes  in general  economic  conditions,
changes in real estate conditions,  continued availability of proceeds from this
offering,  the  ability  of the  Company  to  locate  suitable  tenants  for its
Properties and borrowers for its Mortgage Loans, and the ability of such tenants
and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases,  Secured Equipment
Leases or Mortgage Loans.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         The  Managing  Dealer  is  entitled  to  receive  Selling   Commissions
amounting to 7.5% of the total  amount  raised from the sale of Shares of Common
Stock for  services in  connection  with the offering of Shares,  a  substantial
portion   of  which  has  been  or  will  be  paid  as   commissions   to  other
broker-dealers.  For the period  January 1, 1998 through March 2, 1998,  and the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company  incurred  $3,055,103,
$16,686,192, $7,559,474 and $2,884,062, respectively, of such fees in connection
with the  Prior  Offerings,  of  which  approximately  $2,900,400,  $15,563,500,
$7,059,000  and  $2,682,000,  respectively,  was paid by the Managing  Dealer as
commissions to other broker-dealers.



                                      -11-

<PAGE>



         In  addition,  the  Managing  Dealer is entitled to receive a marketing
support and due diligence  expense  reimbursement fee equal to 0.5% of the total
amount  raised from the sale of Shares,  a portion of which may be  reallowed to
other broker-dealers.  For the period January 1, 1998 through March 2, 1998, and
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred $203,673,
$1,112,413, $503,965 and $192,271, respectively, of such fees in connection with
the  Prior  Offerings,  substantially  all of  which  were  reallowed  to  other
broker-dealers and from which all bona fide due diligence expenses were paid.

         The  Advisor is entitled to receive  Acquisition  Fees for  services in
identifying  the Properties and  structuring  the terms of the  acquisition  and
leases of the Properties and  structuring  the terms of the Mortgage Loans equal
to 4.5% of the total  amount  raised  from the sale of  Shares.  For the  period
January 1, 1998 through  March 2, 1998,  and the years ended  December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995,  the Company  incurred  $1,833,062,  $10,011,715,  $4,535,685 and
$1,730,437, respectively, of such fees in connection with the Prior Offerings.

         For negotiating  Secured  Equipment  Leases and supervising the Secured
Equipment  Lease program,  the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Company a
one-time  Secured  Equipment  Lease Servicing Fee of two percent of the purchase
price of the Equipment that is the subject of a Secured Equipment Lease. For the
years ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  the Company  incurred  $366,865  and
$70,070, respectively, in such fees. No such amounts were incurred in 1995.

         The Company and the Advisor  have  entered  into an Advisory  Agreement
pursuant to which the Advisor will  receive a monthly  asset  management  fee of
one-twelfth of 0.60% of the Company's Real Estate Asset Value,  plus one-twelfth
of 0.60% of the total  principal  amount of the Company's  Mortgage Loans, as of
the end of the preceding  month.  The management fee, which will not exceed fees
which are competitive for similar  services in the same geographic  area, may or
may not be taken,  in whole or in part as to any year, in the sole discretion of
the Advisor. All or any portion of the management fee not taken as to any fiscal
year shall be deferred  without  interest  and may be taken in such other fiscal
year as the Advisor shall determine. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, the Company incurred $881,668, $278,902 and $27,950,  respectively, of
such  fees,  $76,789,  $27,702  and  $4,872,  respectively,  of  which  has been
capitalized as part of the cost of the buildings for  Properties  that have been
or are being constructed.

         The Advisor and its Affiliates  provide  accounting and  administrative
services to the Company  (including  accounting and  administrative  services in
connection  with the  offering of Shares) on a day-to-day  basis.  For the years
ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and  1995,  the  Company  incurred  a total of
$2,232,466,   $1,103,828  and  $782,690,   respectively,   for  these  services,
$1,676,226,  $769,225 and  $714,674,  respectively,  of such costs  representing
stock  issuance  costs  and  $556,240,   $334,603  and  $68,016,   respectively,
representing  general  operating and  administrative  expenses,  including costs
related to preparing and  distributing  reports  required by the  Securities and
Exchange Commission.

         During the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company
acquired  five,  four  and  nine  Properties,  respectively,  for  approximately
$5,450,000,  $2,610,000 and  $6,621,000,  respectively,  from  Affiliates of the
Company.  The  Affiliates  had  purchased  and  temporarily  held title to these
Properties  in order to  facilitate  the  acquisition  of the  Properties by the
Company.  Each Property was acquired at a cost no greater than the lesser of the
cost  of the  Property  to  the  Affiliate  (including  carrying  costs)  or the
Property's appraised value.

         In connection  with the acquisition of six Properties in 1997 and three
Properties in 1996 that were constructed or renovated by Affiliates, the Company
incurred   development/construction   management  fees  totalling  $369,570  and
$159,350,  respectively.  Such  fees  were  included  in the  purchase  price of
Properties and therefore included in the basis on which the Company charges rent
on the Properties. No such amounts were incurred in 1995.

         The Advisor and the Managing  Dealer are wholly owned  subsidiaries  of
CNL Group, Inc., of which James M. Seneff,  Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and his spouse are the sole stockholders.

         All of these fees were paid in  accordance  with the  provisions of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation.

</TABLE>

         The Company intends to make regular Distributions to stockholders.  The
payment of Distributions  commenced in July 1995.  Distributions will be made to
those  stockholders  who are  stockholders as of the record date selected by the
Directors.  Distributions will be declared monthly and paid on a quarterly basis
during the  offering  period and  declared and paid  quarterly  thereafter.  The
Company is  required  to  distribute  annually  at least 95% of its real  estate
investment  trust  taxable  income to maintain its  objective of qualifying as a
REIT.  Generally,  income  distributed  will not be taxable to the Company under
federal income tax laws if the Company complies with the provisions  relating to
qualification as a REIT. If the cash available to the Company is insufficient to
pay such Distributions, the Company may obtain the necessary funds by borrowing,
issuing new  securities,  or selling  assets.  These methods of obtaining  funds
could affect future  Distributions by increasing  operating costs. To the extent
that  Distributions  to stockholders  exceed earnings and profits,  such amounts
constitute  a return  capital for federal  income tax  purposes,  although  such
Distributions will not reduce stockholders'  aggregate Invested Capital. For the
years ended  December 31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company  declared and made
Distributions totalling $16,854,297,  $5,436,072 and $638,618,  respectively, of
which   93.33%,   90.25%  and  59.82%,   respectively,   of  such  amounts  were
characterized as ordinary income and 6.67%, 9.75% and 40.18%, respectively, were
characterized as return of capital for federal income tax purposes. In addition,
in  January  1998,   February  1998  and  March  1998,   the  Company   declared
distributions  to  its  stockholders   totalling   $2,298,433,   $2,421,992  and
$2,556,539, respectively, payable in March 1998. However, no amounts distributed
to stockholders as of December 31, 1997, are required to be or have been treated
by  the  Company  as a  return  of  capital  for  purposes  of  calculating  the
stockholders' return on their Invested Capital. Due to the fact that the Company
had not acquired all of its Properties  and was still in its offering  period as
of December 31, 1997, the  characterization  of Distributions for federal income
tax purposes is not necessarily considered by management to be representative of
the  characterization  of Distributions  in future years.  Distributions in kind
shall  not  be  permitted,   except  for  distributions  of  readily  marketable
securities;  distributions  of  beneficial  interests  in  a  liquidating  trust
established for the dissolution of the Company and the liquidation of its assets
in accordance with the terms of the Articles of Incorporation;  or distributions
of in-kind  property as long as the Directors (i) advise each stockholder of the
risks  associated  with  direct  ownership  of the  property;  (ii)  offer  each
stockholder the election of receiving in-kind property distributions;  and (iii)
distribute in-kind property only to those stockholders who accept the Directors'
offer.

                  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, 1997,  including the receipt of $361,729,709 in gross offering proceeds from
the sale of  36,172,971  shares of  common  stock  and the  application  of such
proceeds to purchase 244 properties  (including 178 properties  which consist of
land and  building,  one  property  through a joint  venture  arrangement  which
consists of land and building,  21 properties which consist of building only and
44 properties which consist of land only), ten of which were under  construction
at December 31,  1997,  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  $40,734,704  in gross  offering  proceeds from the sale of 4,073,470
additional  shares of common  stock  during the period  January 1, 1998  through
March 2, 1998,  (iii) the  application  of such funds at December 31,  1997,  to
purchase six additional  properties  acquired  during the period January 1, 1998
through  March 2,  1998  (all  six of  which  are  under  construction),  to pay
additional costs for the ten properties under construction at December 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  December  31,  1997,
includes  the   transactions   described  in  (i)  above  from  the   historical
consolidated balance sheet, adjusted to give effect to the transactions in (ii),
and (iii) above, as if they had occurred on December 31, 1997.

         The Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statement  of Earnings  for the year ended
December 31, 1997,  includes 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 March 2, 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  Statement of
Earnings for the remaining  properties acquired by the Company during the period
January 1, 1997 through March 2, 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.

         as direct  financing  leases  rather  than as land and  buildings.  The
         categorization of the leases has no effect on rental revenues received.

                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement 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  March 2,  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.

           Folsom, CA                    October 1997          September 1997

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

(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) on 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  on  interest   bearing   accounts  was  earned  at  a  rate  of
         approximately  four  percent per annum by the  Company  during the year
         ended December 31, 1997.

                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Earnings - Continued:

(3)      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, 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 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 year
         ended December 31, 1997.

(6)      See Note  (b)  under  "Pro  Forma  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet"  for a
         description of direct financing leases.

To the Board of Directors
CNL American Properties Fund, Inc.


We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of CNL American
Properties Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and its subsidiary as of December
31,  1997  and  1996,  and the  related  consolidated  statements  of  earnings,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 and the related  financial  statement  schedules.  These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  consolidated  financial  position of CNL American
Properties  Fund,  Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the  consolidated  results of their  operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period  ended  December  31,  1997,  in  conformity  with

the basic financial  statements taken as a whole present fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


1.       Significant Accounting Policies:

         Organization  and Nature of Business - CNL  American  Properties  Fund,
         Inc.  (the  "Company")  was  organized  in  Maryland  on May  2,  1994,
         primarily for the purpose of acquiring,  directly or indirectly through
         joint venture or co-tenancy  arrangements,  restaurant  properties (the
         "Properties")  to  be  leased  on  a  long-term,  triple-net  basis  to
         operators of certain national and regional fast-food,  family-style and
         casual dining restaurant  chains.  The Company also provides  financing
         (the  "Mortgage  Loans") for the  purchase of  buildings,  generally by
         tenants that lease the underlying  land from the Company.  In addition,
         the Company offers furniture,  fixtures and equipment financing through
         leases or loans ("Secured Equipment Leases") to operators of restaurant
         chains.

         The Company was a development stage enterprise from May 2, 1994 through
         June 1, 1995. Since operations had not begun,  activities  through June
         1, 1995, were devoted to organization of the Company.

         Principles  of  Consolidation  - The  Company  accounts  for its 85.47%
         interest in  CNL/Corral  South Joint  Venture  using the  consolidation
         method.   Minority  interest  represents  the  minority  joint  venture
         partner's   proportionate   share  of  the  equity  in  the   Company's
         consolidated joint venture. All significant  intercompany  accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated.

         Real Estate and Lease  Accounting - The Company records the acquisition
         of land,  buildings and equipment at cost,  including  acquisition  and
         closing costs. In addition, interest costs incurred during construction
         are  capitalized  in accordance  with  accounting  standards.  Land and
         buildings are leased to unrelated third parties on a triple-net  basis,
         whereby the tenant is generally  responsible for all operating expenses
         relating  to  the  Property,   including  property  taxes,   insurance,
         maintenance  and repairs.  In addition,  the Company  offers  equipment
         financing  through leases or loans.  The Property  leases are accounted
         for using either the direct  financing  or the  operating  method.  The
         Secured  Equipment  Leases are accounted for using the direct financing
         method.  Such methods are described below:

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

                  Direct  financing  method - The leases accounted for using the
                  direct  financing  method are recorded at their net investment
                  (which at the inception of the lease generally  represents the
                  cost of the asset) (Note 5).  Unearned  income is deferred and
                  amortized  to income  over the lease  terms so as to produce a
                  constant   periodic  rate  of  return  on  the  Company's  net
                  investment in the leases.

                  Operating  method - Land and  building  leases  accounted  for
                  using the  operating  method are recorded at cost,  revenue is
                  recognized as rentals are earned and  depreciation  is charged
                  to operations as incurred.  Buildings are  depreciated  on the
                  straight-line  method over their estimated  useful lives of 30
                  years. When scheduled rentals  (including rental payments,  if
                  any,  required  during the  construction  of a Property)  vary
                  during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line
                  basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the lease
                  term commencing on the date the Property is placed in service.

                  Accrued  rental  income  represents  the  aggregate  amount of
                  income  recognized  on a  straight-line  basis  in  excess  of
                  scheduled  rental  payments  to date.  In  contrast,  deferred
                  rental income  represents  the  aggregate  amount of scheduled
                  rental payments to date (including  rental payments due during
                  construction  and  prior  to  the  Property  being  placed  in
                  service)  in excess of income  recognized  on a  straight-line
                  basis over the lease term  commencing on the date the Property
                  is placed in service.

         When the  Properties  or  equipment  are  sold,  the  related  cost and
         accumulated  depreciation  for operating  leases and the net investment
         for direct financing leases, plus any accrued rental income or deferred
         rental  income,  will be  removed  from the  accounts  and any gains or
         losses from sales will be reflected in income.  Management  reviews its

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         impairment  whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that
         the  carrying  amount  of the  assets  may not be  recoverable  through
         operations.  Management  determines  whether an impairment in value has
         occurred by comparing the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows,
         including the residual value of the Property, with the carrying cost of
         the individual Property. If an impairment is indicated,  the assets are
         adjusted to their fair value.

         Mortgage  Loans - The Company  accounts for loan  origination  fees and
         costs  incurred in connection  with Mortgage  Loans in accordance  with
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 91,  "Accounting  for
         Nonrefundable  Fees and Costs  Associated with Originating or Acquiring
         Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases".  This statement requires the
         deferral of loan origination fees and the capitalization of direct loan
         costs. The costs capitalized,  net of the fees deferred,  are amortized
         to  interest  income  as an  adjustment  of yield  over the life of the
         loans. The unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Mortgage Loans,
         plus the  unamortized  balance of such fees and costs are  included  in
         mortgage notes receivable (see Note 7).

         Cash and Cash  Equivalents  - The Company  considers  all highly liquid
         investments  with a maturity of three months or less when  purchased to
         be cash  equivalents.  Cash  and cash  equivalents  consist  of  demand
         deposits at  commercial  banks,  money  market funds (some of which are
         backed by  government  securities)  and  certificates  of deposit (with
         maturities of three months or less when  purchased).  Cash  equivalents
         are stated at cost plus accrued  interest,  which  approximates  market
         value.

         Cash accounts maintained on behalf of the Company in demand deposits at
         commercial  banks,  money market funds and  certificates of deposit may
         exceed  federally  insured  levels;   however,   the  Company  has  not
         experienced any losses in such accounts.  The Company limits investment
         of  temporary  cash  investments  to financial  institutions  with high
         credit standing;  therefore,  management  believes it is not exposed to
         any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         Organization  Costs - Organization  costs are amortized over five years
         using the  straight-line  method and are  included in  intangibles  and
         other  assets.  For  the  years  ended  December  31,  1997  and  1996,
         accumulated  amortization  of $10,318  and  $6,318,  respectively,  was
         recorded.

         Loan Costs - Loan  costs  incurred  in  connection  with the  Company's
         $35,000,000  line  of  credit  have  been  capitalized  and  are  being
         amortized  over the term of the loan  commitment  using  the  effective
         interest method.  Income or expense  associated with interest rate swap
         agreements  related to the line of credit is  recognized on the accrual
         basis as earned or incurred through an adjustment to interest  expense.
         Loan costs are included in intangibles and other assets. As of December
         31,  1997 and 1996,  the  Company  had  aggregate  gross  loan costs of
         $100,634 and $54,533,  respectively.  For the years ended  December 31,
         1997  and  1996,  accumulated  amortization  of  $61,783  and  $22,034,
         respectively, was recorded.

         Income  Taxes - The  Company has made an election to be taxed as a real
         estate  investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and related regulations. The
         Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes
         on amounts  distributed  to  stockholders,  providing it distributes at
         least 95 percent of its REIT  taxable  income and meets  certain  other
         requirements  for qualifying as a REIT.  Accordingly,  no provision for
         federal  income  taxes has been made in the  accompanying  consolidated
         financial statements.  Notwithstanding the Company's  qualification for
         taxation as a REIT,  the  Company is subject to certain  state taxes on
         its income and property.

         Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share are calculated based upon
         net earnings (income available to common  stockholders)  divided by the
         weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during
         the reporting period.  The Company does not have any dilutive potential
         common shares.

         Use of  Estimates  -  Management  of the  Company  has made a number of
         estimates  and  assumptions  relating  to the  reporting  of assets and
         liabilities and the disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities to
         prepare  these  financial   statements  in  conformity  with  generally
         accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could differ from those
         estimates.

1.       Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:

         Reclassification   -  Certain  items  in  the  prior  years'  financial
         statements   have  been   reclassified   to   conform   with  the  1997
         presentation.  These  reclassifications  had no effect on stockholders'
         equity or net earnings.

         New Accounting  Standards - In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting
         Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.
         128, "Earnings Per Share". The statement, which is effective for fiscal
         years  ending  after   December  15,  1997,   provides  for  a  revised
         computation of earnings per share (see Earnings Per Share). Adoption of
         this  standard  had  no  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial
         position or results of operations.

         In February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 129,  "Disclosure  of
         Information about Capital Structure". The statement, which is effective
         for  fiscal  years  ending  after  December  15,  1997,   provides  for
         disclosure  of the  Company's  capital  structure.  At this  time,  the
         Company's  Board of Directors has not determined  the relative  rights,
         preferences,  and privileges of each class or series of preferred stock
         authorized.  Since the Company  has not issued  preferred  shares,  the
         disclosures to this standard are not applicable.

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130  "Reporting  Comprehensive
         Income".  The statement,  which is effective for fiscal years beginning
         after December 15, 1997, requires the reporting of net earnings and all
         other changes to equity during the period,  except those resulting from
         investments  by owners  and  distributions  to  owners,  in a  separate
         statement that begins with net earnings.  Currently, the Company's only
         component of comprehensive income is its net earnings. The Company does
         not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material  effect
         on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

2.       Public Offering:

         The Company has a currently  effective  registration  statement on Form
         S-11  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  for the sale of
         27,500,000 shares ($275,000,000) of common stock (the "1997 Offering").

2.       Public Offering - Continued:

         stock, the Company has registered,  2,500,000 shares  ($25,000,000) are
         available  only  to  stockholders  who  elect  to  participate  in  the
         Company's  reinvestment  plan.  The Company has adopted a  reinvestment
         plan pursuant to which  stockholders  may elect to have the full amount
         of their cash  distributions  from the Company reinvested in additional
         shares of common stock of the Company.  Prior to the 1997 Offering, the
         Company  received  proceeds  from its initial  offering  (the  "Initial
         Offering"),  of $150,591,765  (15,059,177  shares),  including $591,765
         (59,177 shares) issued pursuant to the Company's  reinvestment plan. As
         of December 31, 1997, the Company had received  aggregate  subscription
         proceeds from its Initial  Offering and 1997  Offering of  $361,729,709
         (36,172,971  shares),  including  $2,464,413  (246,441  shares)  issued
         through the reinvestment plan.

         On October 10, 1997,  the Company filed a  registration  statement with
         the Securities and Exchange  Commission in connection with the proposed
         sale by the  Company of up to  34,500,000  shares of common  stock (the
         "1998  Offering")  in an  offering  expected  to  commence  immediately
         following  the  completion  of  the  Company's  1997  Offering.  Of the
         34,500,000  shares of common  stock to be  offered,  2,000,000  will be
         available   only  to   stockholders   purchasing   shares  through  the
         reinvestment  plan. The price per share and the other terms of the 1998
         Offering,  including the  percentage of gross  proceeds  payable to the
         managing dealer for selling commissions and expenses in connection with
         the  offering,   payable  to  the  advisor  for  acquisition  fees  and
         acquisition  expenses  and  reimbursable  to the advisor  for  offering
         expenses,  will be the same as those for the Company's  1997  Offering.
         Net  proceeds  from the 1998  Offering  will be invested in  additional
         Properties and Mortgage Loans.

3.       Leases:

         The Company  leases its land,  buildings  and equipment to operators of
         national  and  regional  fast-food,   family-style  and  casual  dining
         restaurants.  The  leases are  accounted  for under the  provisions  of
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 13,  "Accounting  for
         Leases". For Property leases classified as direct financing leases, the
         building  portions of the majority of the leases are  accounted  for as
         direct financing leases while the land portions of these leases are

3.       Leases - Continued:

         accounted for as operating  leases.  Substantially  all Property leases
         have initial terms of 15 to 20 years  (expiring  between 2006 and 2017)
         and provide for  minimum  rentals.  In  addition,  the  majority of the
         Property  leases provide for contingent  rentals and/or  scheduled rent
         increases  over the  terms of the  leases.  Each  tenant  also pays all
         property  taxes and  assessments,  fully  maintains  the  interior  and
         exterior of the  building  and carries  insurance  coverage  for public
         liability,  property  damage,  fire and  extended  coverage.  The lease
         options for the Property  leases  generally  allow tenants to renew the
         leases for two to four successive five-year periods subject to the same
         terms and conditions as the initial  lease.  Most leases also allow the
         tenant  to  purchase  the  Property  at the  greater  of the  Company's
         purchase  price plus a specified  percentage of such purchase  price or
         fair market value after a specified portion of the lease has elapsed.

         The Secured  Equipment Leases recorded as direct financing leases as of
         December 31, 1997 provide for minimum  rentals payable monthly and have
         lease terms  ranging  from four to seven years.  The Secured  Equipment
         Leases  generally  include  an option  for the  lessee to  acquire  the
         equipment at the end of the lease term for a nominal fee.

         Land and  buildings on operating  leases  consisted of the following at
         December 31:

         Some leases provide for scheduled  rent increases  throughout the lease
         term and/or rental payments during the construction of a Property prior
         to the date it is placed in service.  Such amounts are  recognized on a
         straight-line basis over the terms of the leases commencing on the date
         the  Property is placed in service.  For the years ended  December  31,
         1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company  recognized  $1,941,054,  $517,067 and
         $39,142, respectively, of such rental income.

         During 1997,  the Company sold five of its Properties and the equipment
         relating  to two  Secured  Equipment  Leases to  tenants.  The  Company
         received net proceeds of approximately $7,252,000,  which were equal to
         the carrying  value of the  Properties  and the net  investment  in the
         direct  financing leases for the equipment at the time of the sales. As
         a  result,  no gain or loss  was  recognized  for  financial  reporting
         purposes.  The Company used the net sales proceeds relating to the sale
         of the equipment to repay amounts previously advanced under its line of
         credit (see Note 8). The Company  reinvested the proceeds from the sale
         of Properties in additional Properties.

         The  following  is a schedule of future  minimum  lease  payments to be
         received on the noncancellable operating leases at December 31, 1997:

                  1998                                          $ 18,891,310

         Since  lease  renewal  periods  are  exercisable  at the  option of the
         tenant, the above table only presents future minimum lease payments due
         during  the  initial  lease  terms.  In  addition,  this table does not
         include any amounts for future contingent rentals which may be received
         on the leases based on a percentage of the tenant's gross sales.  These
         amounts also do not include minimum lease payments that will become due
         when Properties under development are completed (see Note 13).

         The above table does not include  future  minimum  lease  payments  for
         renewal  periods or for contingent  rental payments that may become due
         in future periods (see Note 4).

6.       Notes Receivable:

         In October 1997, the Company  entered into two promissory  notes with a
         borrower  for  equipment  financing,  totalling  $13,225,000  which are
         collateralized  by  restaurant  equipment.  The  promissory  notes bear
         interest at a rate of ten percent per annum and will be collected in 84
         equal monthly  installments  totalling  $219,550  beginning  January 1,
         1998. At December 31, 1997, the Company had advanced $12,521,400 to the
         borrower and had a remaining  balance to fund of $703,600  (included in
         accounts  payable and other  accrued  expenses at December  31,  1997).
         Notes  receivable  at December 31, 1997,  include  accrued  interest of
         $323,044.

6.       Notes Receivable - Continued:

         Management  believes that the estimated fair value of notes  receivable
         at December 31, 1997  approximated  the  outstanding  principal  amount
         based on estimated  current  rates at which similar loans would be made
         to borrowers with similar credit and for similar maturities.

7.       Mortgage Notes Receivable:

         During 1996, in connection  with the  acquisition  of land for 35 Pizza
         Hut  restaurants,  the Company  accepted three  promissory notes in the
         aggregate principal sum of $12,847,000,  collateralized by mortgages on
         the buildings on the 35 Pizza Hut Properties. The promissory notes bear
         interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum and are being  collected  in 240
         equal monthly installments totalling $130,426.

         During 1997, in connection  with the acquisition of land for nine Pizza
         Hut  restaurants,  the  Company  accepted  a  promissory  note  in  the
         principal  sum  of  $4,200,000,  collateralized  by a  mortgage  on the
         buildings on the nine Pizza Hut Properties and two additional Pizza Hut
         buildings.  The  promissory  note bears interest at a rate of 10.5% per
         annum and is being  collected  in 240  equal  monthly  installments  of
         $41,943.

         Mortgage notes receivable consisted of the following at December 31:

                                                   1997                1996

         Management  believes  that the estimated  fair value of mortgage  notes
         receivable at December 31, 1997 and 1996  approximated  the outstanding
         principal  amount based on  estimated  current  rates at which  similar
         loans would be made to borrowers  with  similar  credit and for similar
         maturities.

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

8.       Line of Credit:

         In March 1996,  the Company  entered into a line of credit and security
         agreement  with a bank,  the  proceeds  of which were to be used by the
         Company to offer Secured Equipment Leases.  The line of credit provided
         that the Company would be able to receive advances of up to $15,000,000
         until March 4, 1998.  Generally,  all advances under the line of credit
         bore  interest at either (i) a rate per annum equal to 215 basis points
         above  the  Reserve  Adjusted  LIBOR  Rate (as  defined  in the line of
         credit)  or (ii) a rate per  annum  equal  to the  bank's  prime  rate,
         whichever  the Company  selected at the time  advances  were made. As a
         condition of obtaining the line of credit,  the Company agreed to grant
         to the bank a first security interest in the Secured Equipment Leases.

         In August 1997,  the Company's  $15,000,000  line of credit was amended
         and  restated to enable the Company to receive  advances on a revolving
         $35,000,000  uncollateralized  line of credit (the "Line of Credit") to
         provide equipment financing,  to purchase and develop Properties and to
         fund Mortgage Loans. The advances bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus
         1.65% or the bank's prime rate,  whichever  the Company  selects at the
         time of borrowing.  Interest  only is repayable  monthly until July 31,
         1999, at which time all remaining  interest and principal shall be due.
         The Line of Credit provides for two one-year renewal options.

         During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company obtained
         advances totalling $19,721,804 and $3,666,896,  respectively, under the
         Line of Credit and made principal  payments  totalling  $20,784,577 and
         $145,080,  respectively.  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996,  $2,459,043
         and $3,521,816,  respectively, of principal was outstanding relating to
         the Line of Credit, plus $14,430 and $13,164,  respectively, of accrued
         interest.  As of  December  31,  1997,  the  interest  rate on  amounts
         outstanding  under the Line of Credit was 7.373% (LIBOR plus 1.65%). As
         of December 31, 1996,  the interest rate on amounts  outstanding  under
         the Line of Credit  ranged from 7.71% to 7.82% (215 basis  points above
         the  Reserve  Adjusted  LIBOR  Rate).  The Company  believes,  based on
         current terms,  that the carrying value of its note payable at December
         31, 1997 and 1996  approximated  fair  value.  The terms of the Line of
         Credit include financial covenants which provide for the maintenance of
         certain  financial  ratios.  The  Company was in  compliance  with such
         covenants as of December 31, 1997.

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995


8.       Line of Credit - Continued:

         During 1996,  the Company  entered into interest  rate swap  agreements
         with a  commercial  bank to reduce the  impact of  changes in  interest
         rates on its floating rate long-term  debt. The agreements  effectively
         change  the  Company's  interest  rate  exposure  on  notional  amounts
         totalling  approximately  $2,110,000 of the  outstanding  floating rate
         notes to fixed rates ranging from 8.75% to nine percent per annum.  The
         notional amounts of the interest rate swap agreements amortize over the
         period of the  agreements  which  approximate  the term of the  related
         notes. As of December 31, 1997, the notional balance was  approximately
         $1,750,000.  The  Company  is  exposed  to credit  loss in the event of
         nonperformance by the other party to the interest rate swap agreements;
         however,  the  Company  does  not  anticipate   nonperformance  by  the
         counterparty. Management does not believe the impact of any payments of
         a termination penalty, in the event the Company determines to terminate
         the swap agreements prior to the end of their respective  terms,  would
         be  material  to  the  Company's   financial  position  or  results  of
         operations.

         Interest costs (including  amortization of loan costs) incurred for the
         years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996,  were  $544,788 and  $127,012,
         respectively,  all of  which  were  capitalized  as part of the cost of
         buildings  under  construction.  For the years ended December 31, 1997,
         and  1996,   the  Company  paid   interest  of  $502,680  and  $91,757,
         respectively.  No interest was paid during the year ended  December 31,
         1995.

9.       Stock Issuance Costs:

         The Company has incurred certain expenses in connection with the public
         offerings of its shares,  including commissions,  marketing support and
         due  diligence   expense   reimbursement   fees,  filing  fees,  legal,
         accounting, printing and escrow fees, which have been deducted from the
         gross  proceeds  of  the  offerings.   CNL  Fund  Advisors,  Inc.  (the
         "Advisor") has agreed to pay all  organizational  and offering expenses
         (excluding  commissions and marketing support and due diligence expense
         reimbursement  fees) which exceed three  percent of the gross  offering
         proceeds received from the sale of shares of the Company.

         During the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company
         incurred  $22,422,045,  $9,216,102  and  $6,423,671,  respectively,  in
         organizational and offering costs, including

         and marketing support and due diligence expense reimbursement fees (see
         Note 11). Of these  amounts,  as of December 31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,
         $38,041,818,   $15,619,773  and  $6,403,671,  respectively,  have  been
         treated  as stock  issuance  costs  and  $20,000  has been  treated  as
         organization  costs.  The stock  issuance  costs  have been  charged to
         stockholders' equity subject to the three percent cap described above.

10.      Distributions:

         For the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  93.33%,  90.25%
         and 59.82%, respectively, of the distributions received by stockholders
         were  considered  to be  ordinary  income and 6.67%,  9.75% and 40.18%,
         respectively,  were  considered a return of capital for federal  income
         tax purposes.  No amounts  distributed  to  stockholders  for the years
         ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995 are required to be or have been
         treated  by  the  Company  as a  return  of  capital  for  purposes  of
         calculating the stockholders' return on their invested capital.

11.      Related Party Transactions:

         Certain  directors  and officers of the Company hold similar  positions
         with the Advisor and the managing dealer of the Company's  common stock
         offerings, CNL Securities Corp.

         portion  of  which  has  been or will be paid as  commissions  to other
         broker  dealers.  During the years ended  December 31,  1997,  1996 and
         1995, the Company  incurred  $16,686,192,  $7,559,474  and  $2,884,062,
         respectively,   of  such  fees,  of  which  approximately  $15,563,500,
         $7,059,000 and  $2,682,000,  respectively,  were or will be paid by CNL
         Securities Corp. as commissions to other broker-dealers.

         In addition,  CNL  Securities  Corp. is entitled to receive a marketing
         support and due diligence  expense  reimbursement  fee equal to 0.5% of
         the total amount raised from the sale of shares, a portion of which may
         be reallowed to other  broker-dealers.  During the years ended December

         diligence expenses were paid.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
             ------------------------------------------------------

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

11.      Related Party Transactions - Continued:

         CNL Securities Corp. will also receive,  in connection with each common
         stock offering,  a soliciting  dealer servicing fee payable annually by
         the Company  beginning on December 31 of the year following the year in
         which  the  offering   terminates   in  the  amount  of  0.20%  of  the
         stockholders'  investment in the Company.  CNL Securities Corp. in turn
         may reallow all or a portion of such fee to  soliciting  dealers  whose
         clients  purchased shares in such offering held shares on such date. As
         of December 31, 1997, no such fees had been incurred.

         The  Advisor is entitled to receive  acquisition  fees for  services in
         identifying the Properties and structuring the terms of the acquisition
         and leases of the Properties and  structuring the terms of the Mortgage
         Loans equal to 4.5% of the total amount raised from the sale of shares.
         During the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company
         incurred $10,011,715, $4,535,685 and $1,730,437,  respectively, of such
         fees. Such fees are included in land and buildings on operating leases,
         net investment in direct  financing  leases,  mortgage notes receivable
         and other assets.

         In connection with the acquisition of Properties that are being or have
         been constructed or renovated by affiliates, subject to approval by the
         Company's    Board   of    Directors,    the    Company    may    incur
         development/construction  management fees, payable to affiliates of the
         Company. Such fees are included in the purchase price of the Properties
         and are  therefore  included in the basis on which the Company  charges
         rent on the  Properties.  During the years ended  December 31, 1997 and
         1996, the Company incurred $369,570 and $159,350, respectively, of such
         amounts  relating to six and three  Properties,  respectively.  No such
         amounts were incurred for the year ended December 31, 1995.

         For negotiating  Secured  Equipment  Leases and supervising the Secured
         Equipment Lease program,  the Advisor is entitled to receive a one-time
         secured  equipment  lease  servicing fee of two percent of the purchase
         price of the  equipment  that is the  subject  of a  Secured  Equipment
         Lease.  During the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company
         incurred $366,865 and $70,070, respectively, in Secured Equipment Lease
         servicing  fees.  No such  amounts  were  incurred  for the year  ended
         December 31, 1995.

                  Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995

11.      Related Party Transactions - Continued:

         The Company and the Advisor  have  entered  into an advisory  agreement
         pursuant to which the Advisor will receive a monthly asset and mortgage
         management  fee of  one-twelfth  of 0.60% of the Company's  real estate
         asset value and the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans
         as of the end of the proceeding  month.  The management fee, which will
         not exceed fees which are competitive for similar  services in the same
         geographic area, may or may not be taken, in whole or in part as to any
         year, in the sole discretion of the Advisor.  All or any portion of the
         management  fee not  taken as to any  fiscal  year  shall  be  deferred
         without  interest  and may be taken in such  other  fiscal  year as the
         Advisor shall determine. During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
         and  1995,  the  Company  incurred   $881,668,   $278,902  and  $27,950
         respectively,  of such fees, $76,789, $27,702 and $4,872, respectively,
         of which  has been  capitalized  as part of the cost of  buildings  for
         Properties that have been or are being constructed.

         Prior to such time, if any, as shares of the Company's common stock are
         listed on a national securities  exchange or  over-the-counter  market,
         the Advisor is entitled to receive a deferred, subordinated real estate
         disposition  fee, payable upon the sale of one or more Properties based
         on the lesser of one-half of a  competitive  real estate  commission or
         three percent of the sales price if the Advisor  provides a substantial
         amount of services in connection with the sale.  However,  if the sales
         proceeds are reinvested in a replacement  property, no such real estate
         disposition  fees will be incurred until such  replacement  property is
         sold and the net  sales  proceeds  are  distributed.  The  real  estate
         disposition  fee  is  payable  only  after  the  stockholders   receive
         distributions  equal to the sum of an  annual,  aggregate,  cumulative,
         noncompounded   eight  percent   return  on  their   invested   capital
         ("Stockholders' 8% Return") plus their aggregate  invested capital.  No
         deferred,  subordinated real estate disposition fees have been incurred
         to date.

         A subordinated  share of net sales proceeds will be paid to the Advisor
         upon the sale of Company  assets in an amount  equal to ten  percent of
         net sales  proceeds.  However,  if net sales proceeds are reinvested in
         replacement properties or replacement Secured Equipment Leases, no such
         share of net sales  proceeds  will be paid to the  Advisor  until  such
         replacement  property or Secured  Equipment  Lease is sold. This amount
         will be paid only after the stockholders receive distributions equal to
         the sum of the stockholders' aggregate

         approximately $5,450,000, $2,610,000 and $6,621,000, respectively, from
         affiliates of the Company. The affiliates had purchased and temporarily
         held title to these  Properties in order to facilitate the  acquisition
         of the Properties by the Company.  Each Property was acquired at a cost
         no  greater  than  the  lesser  of  the  cost  of the  Property  to the
         affiliate, including carrying costs, or the Property's appraised value.

         Although the Company's Properties are geographically diverse throughout
         the United  States and the Company's  lessees and  borrowers  operate a
         variety of restaurant concepts,  failure of any one of these restaurant
         chains or any one of these lessees or borrowers that  contributes  more
         than ten percent of the  Company's  rental,  earned income and interest
         income  could  significantly  impact the results of  operations  of the
         Company.  However,  management believes that the risk of such a default
         is reduced due to the essential or important nature of these Properties
         for the on-going operations of the lessees and borrowers.

13.      Commitments:

         The  Company has  entered  into  various  development  agreements  with
         tenants which provide terms and  specifications for the construction of
         buildings the tenants have agreed to lease.  The  agreements  provide a
         maximum  amount of development  costs  (including the purchase price of
         the land and closing  costs) to be paid by the Company.  The  aggregate
         maximum   development   costs  the   Company  has  agreed  to  pay  are
         approximately  $14,495,000,  of which approximately $10,202,000 in land
         and  other  costs  had been  incurred  as of  December  31,  1997.  The
         buildings  currently under  construction are expected to be operational
         by June 1998. In  connection  with the purchase of each  Property,  the
         Company,  as lessor,  entered  into a long-term  lease  agreement.  The
         general terms of the lease  agreements  are  substantially  the same as
         those described in Note 3.

         buildings  under  construction  are expected to be  operational by July
         1998. In connection with the purchase of each Property,  the Company as
         lessor, has entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement.

(b)        As of December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the  aggregate  cost of the
           Properties owned by the Company and its subsidiary for federal income
           tax  purposes  was   $248,050,936,   $73,144,286   and   $21,199,004,
           respectively.  All of the leases are treated as operating  leases for
           federal income tax purposes.

(c)        Property  was  not  placed  in  service  as  of  December  31,  1997;
           therefore, no depreciation was taken.

(d)        Scheduled for completion in 1998.

(e)        Depreciation expense is computed for buildings and improvements based
           upon estimated lives of 30 years.

(f)        The  building  portion  of this  Property  is  owned  by the  tenant;
           therefore, depreciation is not applicable.

(g)        For financial  reporting  purposes,  certain  components of the lease
           relating  to land  and/or  building  have been  recorded  as a direct
           financing lease.  Accordingly,  costs relating to these components of
           this lease are not shown.

(h)        For financial reporting purposes,  the portion of this lease relating
           to the building has been recorded as direct financing lease. The cost
           of the  building  has  been  included  in net  investment  in  direct
           financing leases; therefore, depreciation is not applicable.

(i)        For financial reporting purposes, the lease for the land and building
           has been recorded as direct financing lease. The cost of the land and
           building  has been  included in net  investment  in direct  financing
           leases; therefore, depreciation is not applicable.

(j)      The Company  owns the building  only  relating to this  Property.  This
         Property  is  subject  to a ground  lease  between  the  tenant  and an
         unaffiliated third party. In connection therewith,  the Company entered
         into either a tri-party  agreement with the tenant and the owner of the
         land or an assignment of interest in the ground lease with the landlord
         of the land.  The  tri-party  agreement or  assignment of interest each
         provide that the tenant is responsible  for all  obligations  under the
         ground lease and provide  certain rights to the Company to help protect
         its  interest  in the  building in the event of a default by the tenant
         under the terms of the ground lease.

(k)      The  restaurant on the property in Franklin,  Tennessee,  was converted

         buildings  from  affiliates  of the  Company for an  aggregate  cost of
         approximately $5,450,000, $2,610,000 and $6,621,000,  respectively, and
         (iii) paid  development/construction management fees to affiliates of
         the Company  totalling  $369,570  and  $159,350  during the years ended
         December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  No  development/construction
         management fees were paid to affiliates  during the year ended December
         31, 1995.  Such amounts are included in land and buildings on operating
         leases,  net investment in direct  financing leases and other assets at
         December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

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. See "Management Compensation."

(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.
